BB21 Sunday Show

Very sick … you are on your own tonight

BB21: Live Feeds Saturday, PoV - Sept. 7

Gave HoH room to Nicole, yet canoodle anyway

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Scampering Squirrels:

• Jackson does seem to have quite the thing for Nicole.
• Thankfully, not a sexual thing.
• When she won the first HoH, he started beaming like a proud father.
• Now, she already had Cliff doing that role.
• So, let's call Jackson her brother. It is that kind of true friends, sibling relationship going on.
• He ordered Backstreet Boys for his music for her as that had been her choice. While the first HoH in a double gets basket goodies, they don't get the room or music.
• Then Jackson told BB he would give up his photos to let her move hers to the HoH room.
• Then he gave up the HoH room to Nicole. At first she didn't take it, but then broke down.
• Not to take anything away from Jackson's Nicole-Love, but I will. On Thursday night when no one had the room, he was telling Holly he preferred the room they were in over the HoH. He doesn't like the temperature in the HoH and he thinks its dark and dreary atmosphere affects him.
• I've been having to really lighten up any screen caps I take of the HoH room as it's so dark. So, I guess it's not just dark on the live feeds, but in person, too.
• Nicole is still in heaven. 
• She talked to us from her HoH bed last night. She thinks that whatever's meant to be will be and really hopes one of the four win veto.
• If she herself wins veto, she'll take Cliff down -- "you don't take risks with your number one."
• In that scenario, the only person Jackson would be able to put up would be Holly.
• Technically, Cliff and Nicole (who would be the only ones voting) could turn on her, keep Tommy and vote Holly out.
• I don't think either would break their word, though.
• It might be different if they had a shot at Jackson.
• Today Nicole told Jackson that she will take Cliff down if she wins veto and her reasons behind it.
• Back to her conversation with us last night -- she said if Cliff wins the veto he would take himself down. She understands and figures Jackson would put her up with Tommy instead of Holly. In that case, she hopes loyalty will come through and she would still be safe.
• She figures that if Holly or Jackson win the veto, the noms would remain the same.
• I think she's got things pretty well pegged there.
• The only real threat is that if Tommy wins veto -- it would be quite likely Cliff would get evicted.
• Due to BB having the same comps year to year roughly at the same time in the season, they're all pretty sure it's the BB Comics comp.
• Not every year, but almost every year they've been on a zip line and it's quasi-athletic as well as mentally challenging. 
• The comp has been playing out for some hours now as I type this up.
• Y'see, I type to the beat of the BB theme music with the feeds minimized.
• Tommy, perhaps thinking that Christie would blab in the jury house anyway, more likely some sort of ploy for sympathy -- went and told Holly and Jackson about his long time outside of the house previous relationship with Christie.
• Tears streaming, of course.
• We ended up with blocked live feeds the second he mentioned his aunt.
• Since Christie and the aunt ended their long relationship on a bad note, I doubt she's signed a release for them to talk about her. Thinking back, when they were alone both Tommy and Christie talked about some previous life things, but never really talked about the aunt.
• So, either there's no release or BB is keeping the drama to themselves.
• Tommy begged Jackson and Holly to keep the information secret and not tell the others.
• Hmm.
• I'm hoping they remember that Tommy was full of accusations that Nick and Nicole knew each other not all that long ago.
• I'm really not sure how this poly might work into things.
• I didn't see Jackson and Holly stepping up to Tommy and telling him that they sort of kind of knew each other because Jackson followed Holly's Instagram until his then girlfriend made him stop.
• However, that's totally different than going to grade school with someone and having a sever-year relationship with his aunt, going to family doings for nearly a decade and all.
• I guess Tommy might have been going for the angle that he had to play Christie's game or adapt his game to it and wants the chance to play for himself?
• I don't know.
• I just wish the comp would end and the feeds would return.
• Just waiting and waiting.
• No sense posting this then usurping it with a PoV winner post.
• But really.
• The feeds need to come back on. The comp needs to be over. 
• NICOLE WON THE POWER OF VETO!
• YAY! 

I will win veto! I must win veto!

Definitely smitten in a sibling way w/Nicole

If I win veto, I'll take Cliff off the block

BB21: Live Feeds Nominations Bulletin - Sept. 6

Today was a busier than usual Friday for them between the delayed HOH comp and the nominations. That means a whole lot of blocked live feeds for us. When they were on, it seemed like some kind of mutual admiration society going on. Jackson got his HOH room and goodies. 

Oh. And the nominations were totally expected -- Tommy and Cliff. If Tommy wins the veto (BB Comics) and saves himself, we could very well lose Cliff this week. The only way Cliff wouldn't go home is if Jackson put Holly up in Tommy;s place. I just don't see that happening.

BB21: Live Feeds into Friday, 2nd HoH - Sept. 6

Nicole was pumped after winning 1st HOH

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Jumping for Joy:

• Did any of you notice during the show's HoH comp that when it was announced that Nicole had one piece left, Cliff deliberately picked a piece he already matched and fumbled around to throw it to her?
• Then she missed the first shot and Tommy almost won!
• Eek.
• The feeds came back a while after the show, then went into the adoptable animals for a few hours.
• But that wasn't HOH. Or, if it was supposed to be it ended up not being it.
• Technical difficulties maybe?
• I think this might be the first time ever that everyone in the house seemed to be so happy for someone's HoH win.
• Well, maybe not Christie. And, true, Tommy was happy to a lesser extent than the others. But even he told Nicole how proud he was of her.
• Cliff acted like a proud Dad and never mentioned his "misplaced" puzzle piece. He kept going on about how she earned it.
• Jackson told her that from the bleachers where he was he felt like he was a proud father cheering on his child in a sport.
• Holly too was so happy for Nicole. While she was certainly happy she was safe, she pointed out that Nicole's whole winning and Cliff's winning veto was the first time she honestly felt trust working out in the house.
• While Tommy is the main target for any of the other four and he knows it, he's taking it better than some we've seen.
• The four decided that if one of them wins HoH, Tommy and anybody would go up, Tommy voted out.
• Cliff and Nicole think Tommy would target Jackson/Holly if he wins HoH. And, if one of them came down, it would end up a tie with Tommy breaking it.
• Nicole was a joy to watch not only when she first got her HoH basket with goodies, letter from home and photos ... it was even more fun to watch her go through everything one by one later when she was by herself. She even read the letter out loud and replied to each sentence.
• The feeds were finally blocked around 12:30pm ET for the delayed comp.
• Okay, the feeds are back and we finally have the second HoH.
• JACKSON won HoH.
• This means that unless he wins the veto, Tommy will be evicted this week.
• I'm thinking he might be good at BB Comics. Hmm.
• If Tommy wins veto, I think that Cliff might go. 
• Although the nominations aren't made yet, from their conversations last night, it sounds like Cliff would go up (as a pawn) with Tommy.
• If Tommy comes down, either Holly or Nicole would have to go on the block with Cliff.
• If it's Holly, Tommy might vote her out over Cliff. So would Nicole. 
• But I don't see Jackson putting Holly in that position.
  

Nicole got unicorn slippers in her basket

Quieter than usual, but not mad at Nicole.

BB21: Live Feeds - No Second HOH Yet - Sept. 6

Just a quick note to let you know that, for some odd reason, the HoH comp was NOT played last night. The feeds were blocked for a few hours, thought it was being played, but nope. 

I think there might have been technical issues. As with other production things, they can't talk about whatever is going on other than they're expecting HOH to play out today. After the feeds returned from the blockage, no one seemed to be hurt and it didn't sound like they played at all. They didn't mention Bayleigh and Swaggy being there. However, on Twitter both of them said they arrived there yesterday. 

Nicole got her HoH basket with goodies and photos. But they didn't let her have the HoH room, not even for the one night.

So ... I don't know. I figured you should know what I don't know. When I do know, I'll let you know.
