Big Brother 21 — Frustration

Hi, everyone!

I swear, I have never had as much trouble getting into a season of Big Brother as I’ve had with this one. Even with Big Brother 19, which I absolutely hated, I could still summon up at least a little bit of hope that, at some point, people would realize that Paul had to go. At the very least, if things in the House weren’t going well, I could always make fun of Raven and Matt.

But this season — I mean, seriously! It’s not just that the main alliance is made up of six of the most unlikable players in the history of the game. There’s also the fact that even the likable houseguests aren’t particularly good at Big Brother. I mean, I love Nicole and I love Cliff and I’ve come around to liking Kat but none of them really seem to have it in them to actually step up and take control of the game. Instead, they’re just passively waiting for the main alliance to start to turn on each other.

For instance, Nicole is perfectly aware that there’s a good chance she might go onto the block as a replacement nominee. And, even though everyone keeps telling her that Sam is going to be voted out regardless, it seems like she should know better than to just shrug that off. She should be running around, trying to make deals or, at the very least, she should be thinking about how she’s going to campaign if she is nominated. Instead, Nicole is just passively waiting.

And then you have Kat. Kat is the other possible replacement nominee this week. Kat can’t seem to figure out which alliance she belongs to. Instead, she’s floating from one side of the house to another. Whenever she leaves a room, she says, “Don’t you all conspire against me while I’m gone.” But they are conspiring against you, Kat. And they’re being pretty obvious about it too.

It just gets frustrating!

As of right now, Nick has the veto and he’s going to use it to save himself. Holly’s initial plan was to put Nicole up as a replacement but Christie has been pressuring her to put up Kat instead. Christie is really determined to get Sam out this week and she feels that, if Nicole is nominated, Nicole will become the target. Analyse wants Holly to put up Nicole because she keeps saying that she doesn’t know where Nicole’s head is at. Analyse has apparently decided that Nicole is some sort of secret genius and that she’s actually the biggest threat in the game. It kinda reminds me of when Frankie Grande decided that Donny was actually a NASA engineer.

If I had to guess, I’d say that Holly will probably end up going with Nicole as the replacement but it’s hard to say. In the end, it’ll probably come down to whoever Jackson wants her to put up.

Speaking of Jackson, Christie and Tommy were talking earlier about they both want to get Jackson out of the house. Christie said that Jackson has to go but then she said, “It’s too soon, though.”

Really!? HOW IS IT EVER TO SOON TO GET RID OF A POWER PLAYER!?

As I said before, it’s just frustrating.
