Big Brother 21 — Prankster Revealed

by Lisa Marie Bowman on August 25, 2019

Hi, y’all!

So, here’s the current situation.

Holly is HoH.

Nick is America’s prankster. Originally, he was keeping this a secret but, for some reason, he told Tommy after the veto and now the entire house knows.

Nick is on the block, thanks to Holly.

Christie is on the block, thanks to Nick.

However, Jackson has won the veto and he could potentially use it to save one of those two from eviction.

Of course, he won’t. Both yesterday and today, Jackson told both Nick and Christie that he would not be using the veto to save either one of them. He told Nick that he couldn’t use the veto because he has to respect the HoH’s wishes. Meanwhile, he told Christie that he can’t use the veto because, if he did, Nick would be the one who picked the replacement nominee. And that might interfere with Jackson’s number one goal: getting rid of Nick.

Of course, last week and for several weeks before that, Jackson’s main goal was to get rid of Christie. But now, suddenly, both he and Holly are obsessed with voting out Nick and seem to be totally okay with Christie sticking around the house. I’ve already talked about all of theories that allege that production manipulating the houseguests into keeping Christie over Analyse and it’s not something that I want to harp on but seriously, it’s very strange how things have suddenly changed in the house.

In other news, some of the houseguests are literally melting down over what Zingbot said to them yesterday. Holly is so upset about being called old that she went to the diary room to complain. Christie is upset that Zingbot accused her of chewing loudly and is convinced that this means everyone in America is making fun of the way she chews. Zingbot called Tommy an “attention whore” and Tommy is freaking out about why it would say that. Meanwhile, Jackson is especially upset that Zingbot said he wasn’t likable. Earlier today, Jackson listed all of the things that he’s done in the House in an effort to come across as being likable. (Among the things that Jackson did — he started wearing a shirt more often and he specifically stopped talking about working out all the time, all to get us to like him more.) If these people are that thin-skinned about Zingbot, I worry about what’s going to happen when they leave the house and see what people have been saying about them on social media.

Anyway, the veto meeting is tomorrow! Unless something really major happens between now and Monday afternoon, I don’t expect the veto to be used. It looks like Nick might be in some serious trouble this week.

We’ll see what happens, as always.

I thought Holly looked especially good tonight. I don’t think zing bot should be so insulting and being downright mean. It really isn’t funny. Zing bot has turned into bully bot.

I think the mindset that forms after being with those same ppl with jail like rules….you know what I mean. They think it’s family but it’s not. It’s more like jail. A nicer jail. You aren’t a boss but in your own home you are boss or have your own space. You can’t really say what you want to say if you’re smart and start missing the real family, affection, friends, pets….it weakens you emotionally and you either cry or get angry. Then this big turd walks in and says crap about you that you may have heard before or are insecure about.
It’s simple common sense. Even Cliff now is talking about when he gets home , running, getting in shape. To me Its normal reaction. Too bad they couldn’t have pied him….up under the suit. Then tripped him on the way out. Would be funny if everyone stayed in HOH when he showed up. It’s not funny. And the pie thing is OLD.

I hate the term thin skinned. we all feel what we feel and there’s no rule saying you cannot be emotional. Who knows these ppl really? We can hate what someone does like I don’t like the Nick I see in this game but irl one to one he might be a nice guy I’d have to say shut up to, a lot. I’d tell Christy to stop smacking or joke and say..you really can finish that..no one’s taking it away. If zitpot had called Jessica fat……I think ppl would be pissed off.

I agree with everyone. When I first read some of Zingbots zingers I thot.. that’s not funny. It’s just mean!! He’s picking on everyone’s deepest insecurities like a bully does. That’s just not the way I remember his zings. They were supposed to make fun of someone but in a light hearted way so that the others laugh with you. He’s now laughing AT them. I wonder if it’s a product of the times. I don’t think America in general is happy. And people are so into their phones they don’t know all the subtleties of communication anymore. Or maybe the writers are too young to know how the old Zingbot was. I dunno. But something feels off. The HGS are usually proud of their zings and laughing about them for days. Not running to the DR to get Xanax!! Lol

It’s odd to how even now there doesn’t seem
To be a strong team or even pairs really except Holly and Jackson. Last year this time there was a firm
F4 against the rest. And they all liked each other!! Lol

There have been many seasons when I gasped and thought “I can’t believe Zingbot said that!” I can’t wait to hear the zings!

The truth hurts, no ZING intended. Maybe these houseguests should wake up and realize ZINGBOT spoke the truth for their own good.

Zingbot has always zinged people about their insecurities and things that America is talking about. I do think that this seasons “recruits” are particularly unprepared for the backlash they will find once they leave the personal seclusion of the BB house. Players that are self-professed “super fans” seem to look forward to the “zings” no matter what is said. Zingbot is a BB right of passage that most players are thrilled to reach. I think this season, there are so many players that were recruited rather than passionately applied, they are ill-prepared for what “America is talking about”. It might be why so many really like Cliff, he’s a player.

I’m looking forward to seeing the zings, and the reactions…

And I’m so glad Jackson won the veto. I don’t think anyone that won would have taken Christie off the block for fear of who might go up.. that is, if Nick had been able to keep his big mouth shut. These people can’t keep a secret!

You’re so right about the shock they will all be in when they go outside the house and read what America thought about them. I think Christie and Holly will especially fall apart. But the guys aren’t immune. Nick and Tommy seemed to be bothered by Zingbots zings too! I think it’s just millennials. They’re snowflakes. Lol
Last night Holly made up a rap about the house and the HGS. But the main line was that this is their house and they’re a family. And she says that when they finally go out that door to the outside they will have a family behind them. It’s like they’re afraid to get back to the real world. They’ve gotten really dysfunctional in there. Most HGS can’t wait to get back to their lives and phones and REAL families!! I think they better keep this group in therapy a little longer when this is over!! lol

Everything about this year is off and it makes me wonder are they trying to root out BB all together , I really hope not I just want it to improve from this year. Maybe since the house was so full of Bullies they wanted to show them what it was like to be bullied . Would have worked better if Jack and Sis and Bella was still there. Sis never said anything to anyone but behind their backs and thought it was funny talking about someone and then she thought she had played a good game . Tommy got me that time when Ovi was still there and he was trying to make up for coming upstairs during all the outbreak was happening Ovi was baking and cleaning and Tommy was laughing as the others said they felt bad about it and Tommy said they had gotten a maid out if it . So BB was a little late on lessons of a Bully and not all houseguest were apart of that .

This season is awful. My daughter and I look forward to this show Every summer and I am thoroughly disappointed in it. I don’t know what is worse-the fact that I don’t feel like Any of the players fully understand the game or how much production is playing a role in all of the decisions (i.e. telling people what America thinks about them and telling them to stop behaving this way for That reason, convincing the players to vote off someone just because they don’t make for good television like Analyse over Christie, telling Nick information about an alliance)-if CBS/BB is going to continue the show in this manner then I will not continue to watch.

What do any of you think of my theory that there might not be an eviction this week due to prank week and a double next week? Does anyone else think that might be why we haven’t had a double yet this year? We should already had a double eviction and so far none. Anybody?????

Oh…. Jackson didn’t use the Veto today. So Christie and Nick are still both OTB.
And to Margie’s question… I don’t see why they would have gone this far with the noms if they weren’t going to go thru with the eviction. Maybe they’re skipping the DE this year. Nothing else has been normal!! lol

I remember a interview last year with Allison G. and she was asked about double evictions. She said that is a staple of BB and there will ALWAYS be a double eviction. So that is what I was forming my thought on. Also I thought this might be a way to keep Christie if by some chance she got evicted. LOL

I think there will be a double eviction, sooner than later. It would be great if it were this week and Jessica won. She seems to have very little alliance with anyone, which could make for interesting nominations!

I disagree. What would ya’ll feel if zing bot made a fat joke to Jessica and Cliff isn’t a kid and it bothered him to be out of shape….talking to himself later…99% of the show is boring. It was better with Jack there.
