JACKSON WINS HOH.

BB21: Live Eviction/HoH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug.29

So, here we are  … eviction night. Unless pranking has pushed past its limits, either Christie or Nick will go home tonight. Either way, the BB fan world will rejoice! I must say in all the years I've watched the show, I don't think I've seen any two nominees have less of a fan base than Christie and Nick. If show fans had their druthers, both would be sent packing! 

For those of you in the blog pool, Lifeguard SueGee has updated the pool at THIS HERE LINK. Our apologies if you have Nick or Christie. It's a cold, cruel world.

I'll be live-blogging the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Since I'll be constantly updating it, refresh this page to get the latest happenings! As always, the real party is in the comments -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

In the NYC area the show is airing on WLNY 10/55 due to football on WCBS2

Julie changed it up again this week -- no fluffy hair, it's drawn back and dressed simply in black. I'm sitting through the "previously on" segment. Yawn.

Argh. Endurance comp begins tonight. I'll have to set up a post for after this one.

The veto meeting has now ended. Holly still wants Nick out. Christie is fairly confident going up against Nick. Nick feels confident against Christie. Nicole thinks Nick is loyal, trustworthy, an ally and a shield. Tommy tells Christie had he had the chance he would have taken her off. He thinks Christie will stay this week and is his only ally to the end. 

Jess thinks Nick is a snake and wants Christie to stay. She sees herself as a third with any of the couples in the game. Christie would like a final three with Tommy and Jess.

We're into the pie pranks now -- funnier to watch than to write about. So, use your imagination. Nicole is on a vendetta against Jackson. Jackson is striking back and trying to get her first. I don't see him cleaning up the mess. 

Back to Nick not wanting to leave this week. He thinks he has Nicole, Cliff and now Tommy. Tommy tells him he made a promise to Christie -- he wants Nick here, but gave his word. Nick is angry. Where is Tommy's loyalty?!?! Unless he thinks of a scheme to stay, he thinks he'll go this week.

He goes to Nicole to fuss about Tommy. Nicole is also upset that Tommy wants to keep Christie. She thinks something is up with Tommy and Christie, something more than just a duo in the game. Since she's working with Holly and Jackson, she decides to approach them about Nick. Holly tells her that either of them going would be a big threat gone. Nicole is ALMOST coming up with that Christie and Tommy know each other. She tells us she planted the seed, it's up to Nick to convince Holly and Jackson.

Oh … we're to get a jury house segment tonight!

Now they have clowns in the mirrors, evil ones. It's similar to stunts BB has pulled in the past. I'm always surprised about the freak out with these things. They acted that way on the live feeds, so it's not BB taking several takes. Add clowns to birds as ways to scare Nicole.

Nick is campaigning to Holly and Jackson. Jackson is the only one who can vote. He tells them he could be their protection, he wouldn't put them up and he'd take them off if he can. He promises his word is his word. He tells them that Christie and Jess would target them. Jackson tells us that it seems like Nick is offering more than Christie did.

Jury segment time! Jack claims he didn't play the game that well, ran his mouth a bit too much. Ya think? Kat arrives. All is friendly. He gets to see the field trip bit. They're getting along well. Then Analyse arrives! Jack is thrilled to have his sex kitten back. 

These live shows have more taped bits than actual live show these days. I remember when all except maybe ten minutes was actually live show. We'd get maybe a jury segment or home visit, not a bunch of clips.!

To the living room finally --
Christie -- five life principles, at least she's doing her best, not perfect, playing a game she loves, wants to stay, Nick playing an amazing game.
Nick -- If you have mental health issues seek help, loves and misses Sam, shout-outs, thank you America for Prankster, Michie is my dog

The votes to evict:
Jackson -- Nick
Tommy -- Nick
Nicole -- Nick
Jess -- Nick
Cliff -- Nick

Once again, the few who would have kept Nick buckled and votes with the house. I hate that.

Okay, the start of the HoH comp -- I have a post scheduled to appear to follow it after the show.

Prank Week is over but the scares are just beginning. It's the BB Haunted House, they have to Hold On Fright, fall off and they're off. It's a wall comp. Creepy music is playing and a storm is moving in.

Double eviction next week!

All are still in there as the show ends. Ghosts are now flying at them and slamming into them. Join me on the follow up post for updates!.

BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 28

Tonight we get to endure the return of the ZingBot. I say endure because it's not really a favorite of mine. Although they often deserve the "zings" I find it quite mean-hearted. Plus, due to the whacko voice used, I often have trouble deciphering what it's saying. Oh, well. We should also have some more pranks going on.

I'll be live-blogging and updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get in on the latest happenings! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun!

Previously on is telling us all about previously seen stuff. Amazing, indeed.

Nick tells us that sitting next to Christie is his best chance of staying this week (other than winning veto). And, we're to the show intro and bigger and better things. Or, so we hope.

The nominations ceremony ends. Holly or her people think they need to win to keep the noms the same as some of them might be in trouble. Christie is assuming the Prankster is Nick. She's right. She thinks she can win the veto and bounce back, surviving again this week. I hope not!

Jackson tells Holly he wants to play for veto -- he'd keep the noms the same. Tommy tells Holly that he thought Christie won Prankster until the nominations came down. They have him worried that he might go up if the veto is used to save Christie.

Nick and Christie have an amicable talk about the nominations. She "reads energy" and doesn't believe anything he's selling, as she shouldn't. He doesn't want her to know he's the Prankster although she tells us she's sure he is.

Prankster pie clips -- everyone gets pies! Even Nick in the Diary Room. Nicole thinks of the pies as retaliation for wrongs done in the house.

Time to pick veto players. Holly gets a fist of goo reaching in to select a chip. She got Houseguest Choice and chose Jackson. Nick got Cliff. (Cliff tells us he wouldn't use it.) Christie got Jessica.

Christie tells Jackson/Holly that Nick is a swindler and she doesn't want him to get in anyone's heads. She thinks she can do a deal with them. Christie thinks her deal with them to be a pawn is gone because she's on the block. But, as they point out to us, they didn't nominate her. Of course, I'm hoping she goes this week and the pawn bit would be moot anyway.

ZingBot arrives. Much ado. Nicole is thrilled. ZB calls them the biggest group of losers ever. Tommy -- singing and dancing reminds of Little Shop of Attention Whores. Nicole -- Afraid of birds, but lived with old buzzard all season named Holly. Christie -- loud on Taco Tuesday, not the fighting but your chewing. Has something for one of them -- Nick -- Open present, time for a new haircut! Nicole -- tough for you with no friends, no boyfriends … you must feel right at home. One hg this summer who's very voluptuous and quite busty -- pleased to meet you, Cliff. Jess -- the game you're playing this summer, fans planning convention called SnoozeFest. Jackson -- Hello, what should I call you? Michie? Jackson? Or Pompous DoucheBag? 

The scandals and fake news pushed ZB out of office. On the run, hiding in BB house and they'll never find him. Guards come in to arrest him. 

They go around the house and find ZB locked up. He's expecting them to help him escape. They "knock out cameras" by moving balls in a vertical table maze. with guiding ropes comp. The comp is Free the Zing.

JACKSON wins the Power of Veto! His only real competition in the comp was Nick. Nick is not a happy camper. Christie thinks she might have a chance to stay as long as Nick remains on the block.

Jackson visits Nick in the boat room. Nick tells him that you can only really tell loyalty when you're not looking. He told Jackson he wouldn't have gone on the block. Hinting around that he's the Prankster and telling us that he thinks telling him might keep him safe. It might be his only shot. 

So, Jackson runs to Holly and tells her that Nick is the Prankster. He tells her not to tell anyone. Holly really wants Nick out. Christie comes in and Jackson tells her he's not using the veto because they don't know who would go up. He tells her that she won't be going home anyway. She isn't salty about it -- she thinks she has a good chance of staying.

Then Nick tells Tommy to show him that he could have put him up and wants the favor returned. Tommy is not really committing, says it's still early.

Veto meeting time  … and PIES! Three pies to the face of the veto winner! Good.

Jackson does NOT use the veto. The nominations remain Christie and Nick. Either going would be fine with me. I don't like either one of them.

BB21: Live Feeds into Monday Evening, PoV Mtg. - Aug. 26

Fun, fun, fun 'til BB takes the yard away.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Prankster Piglets:

• The big event, so to speak, of the day was the Power of Veto meeting.
• No surprises there when Jackson did not use his veto to save either of them.
• Nick and Christie remain on the block.
• Nick seems more ticked off about it than Christie.
• Jackson could use the rationale that if he saved the Prankster's nom (Christie), the Prankster would replace the nomination with an unknown.
• Since Nick was Holly's nomination, he felt she could change it.
• He's been going around questioning people asking them to keep him in the house.
• Cliff told him he had already promised Christie.
• So Nick got into a thorny snit about it, telling Nicole if he gets voted out he's not even saying goodbye to Cliff.
• Well, that will show him!
• Heh.
• We have two more days of this campaigning on the parts of both to endure.
• Blech.
• In other news, Prankster Week's latest prank is clown faces in the mirrors.
• Oh, it's been done before with ghosts and aliens, so it's nothing new to us.
• It surely excites them, though!
• Nicole, showing both her fright and toughness, said that if a clown comes out and touches, she's going to punch it. She claims that's her first instinct and she would follow through.
• As far as alliance stuff goes -- it seems like Holly and Jackson have definitely taken in Cliff. They don't seem as certain about Nicole, but haven't said no. They just don't seem as enthusiastic about her.
• They were also talking as if Christie will be staying.
• But that can change a lot in a couple of days.
• So, we wait.

I won't miss him if he goes.

Twist? Has Jackson been replaced with 

his much heavier twin?

I won't miss her if she goes.

Live feed blocking kitties -- I like them 

better than the houseguests!

BB21: Live Feeds into Monday - August 26

Nicole whispers to us.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pied Pipers:

• Nicole has been wondering if it's possible that the whole week is a prank and no one will be going home.
• I've been wondering that myself. It's not like someone unexpectedly self-evicted, but the numbers do seem off. Especially off if they go for a ratings winner show like a double eviction.
• The ZingBot's visit has them all questioning how they're being portrayed.
• Christie has vowed to have better eating manners.
• I'll believe that when I see it.
• But I won't see it because usually when she's eating on the feeds, I go to another camera view.
• Nick told Jackson (hoping for his vote to stay) that he's the Prankster and he deliberately didn't put him (Jackson) on the block because he wanted to show his loyalty.
• Nick is acting like he's okay with being on the block with Christie and it might give him the best chance of staying.
• That's because everyone likes him, y'know.
• Because Nick gave up his secret to Jackson, Jackson told Holly and now everyone knows Nick got the Prankster vote.
• Hmm. That could work against Nick staying if they all think America actually likes the sleazeball.
• Nicole is really in a voting quandary. She promised Nick she'd vote to keep him. And, Christie is pressuring her to keep her. Nicole doesn't want to tell Christie she already promised Nick and she doesn't want to break her word to him.
• Jess keeps trying to steer Nicole away from Nick. Good for her. Someone really needs to open her eyes about him! 
• Holly also told Nicole that they have no chance for a win if Nick stays in the house.
• Since they are all such fools, they think that Nick is all that.
• Well, they're all that wrong ... but they are the ones who vote at the end of it all.
• Cliff is still working it week to week following the power and trying to keep Nicole with him.
• Tommy doesn't want to tell Nick that he already promised Christie he'd vote for her to stay.
• The veto meeting is today and it's kind of tough to call.
• Jackson probably will not use the veto -- he and Holly agree that either Christie or Nick going is fine for their own games.
• If the noms remain the same I think Christie might have a slight lead in eviction votes to stay over Nick. Many seem to either like both of them or don't like either of them in the house.
• On a side note -- I plan to eventually try Jackson's way of "peeling" a watermelon. I actually prefer to eat small pieces of watermelon rather than dealing with a sticky rind. Thanks, Jackson!
• The pie punishment went a bit crazy and now they're all a bit tired of it.
• Both Jackson and Nick got into making pies to attack the pie punishment people and it then led into a massive pie fight through the house with Nick getting pie in the eye and Tommy was attacked with a mayonnaise one.
• After that a house meeting was called to go over rules. It's just getting too messy. Cliff says that although they clean up afterwards, the smell of sour milk starts up quickly in anything that absorbs the topping used in the pies.
• Jackson and Christie both volunteered to be pie targets -- Christie saying she has to be over a trash can. No pies in the bedrooms (unless BB directed) or on carpets.
• When directed to a certain person in bed, the pies will be gently smashed with the least mess possible.
• Cliff, Jess and Nicole all said that since they are the punished ones, they will take care of cleaning up all messes made.
• At this time it does look like Holly and Jackson are serious about teaming up with Cliff and Nicole.
• We'll see how long that lasts.
• Holly got her HoH Snapchat glasses and yet another Tommy choreographed production was on.
• Whatever.
• Jess says she can't really identify with any of the others on a cultural level.
• I can't identify with her either for the most part.
• Even the couple I like -- Cliff and Nicole -- have issues to me. With Cliff, it dates back to his rather irrational fear of David and blowing his HoH "big move." With Nicole, probably the one I might closest identify, she needs to win something. It would help if they actually ever chose her to play for PoV over the season. She only played for it in the first week. However, her performances in HoH comps has been disappointing and she's NOT throwing them.
• We'll see what happens after the PoV meeting but it's a long time until Thursday.

He's lost his boyish figure for sure.

Reminiscent of Raven's hair-do. Ew.

Cliff Notes goes on to this day.

I will someday try Snackson's method.

Tommy, do not buy into Nick's sleaze!

Massive pie fight starts!
