Hi y’all!

So, there were no big surprises in today’s nominations. Last night, after about two and a half hour of hanging and spinning around on a swing, Holly finally won the HoH comp. It all came down to her and Analyse and, considering that they’re both in the same alliance and were pretty much planning on doing the same thing as HoH, it’s kind of weird how long the two of the spent competing to see who could stay on their swing for the longest. This might be evidence that Holly and Analyse don’t trust each other as much as they claim. More likely, it probably just means that neither one of them is smart enough to know that it’s often better to not be HoH.

(Earlier today, Analyse told Tommy that she didn’t know what “an adjective” is. Interestingly enough, Tommy said that he didn’t know either.)

Anyway, Holly is now HoH and that essentially means that Jackson and Jack are now HoH. Despite the fact that Jackson spent the previous week yelling at her and breaking up with her, Holly has been more than happy to allow Jackson to join her in the HoH room.

Jack and Jackson wanted to target Sam and Nick this week so, of course, that’s who Holly nominated for eviction. Sam and Nick are on the block. If either Sam or Nick wins the veto, Holly has indicated that she might put Kat up as a replacement. This makes sense, considering that Kat and Jackson apparently fooled around during the first week in the House and Jackson has often said that he can just go back to Kat if anything bad happens with Holly. So, if Holly can’t get out Nick or Sam, she can always get out her competition.

(Sidenote: Jackson really is one of the least likable people that I’ve ever seen on this show.)

So, Holly is now HoH. Jackson is no longer a Have-Not, though he’s still whining as if he was. And Sam and Nick have been put on the block.

BLEH!

Hi, everyone!

Just a quick recap while we wait to see who the new HoH is:

There were no shocks tonight. If you saw tonight’s show, you saw Bella voted out by a vote of 8-2. Nick and Sam both voted to evict Jack. Everyone else voted for Bella. Nick has been sobbing ever since Bella left.

Kat did cause some confusion when she went into the diary room and told Julie that she was voting to evict Jackson. Kat was just kidding about the vote but she is sincerely angry with Jackson right now …. and for good reason! Jackson yelled at her earlier today and basically, left her in tears. He was angry because she was talking about eating and Jackson felt that was unfair because he’s a have-not and is only allowed to eat slop. Of course, Jackson’s been sneaking food all week so seriously, he needs to get over himself.

(Jackson is apparently going through withdrawals because he wasn’t allowed to take his Xanax into the House with him. He’s been talking to Jack about it, even though the feeds always cut whenever he starts to say too much about it.)

Right now, we’re waiting to see who the new HoH is. It’s an endurance comp, in which the HGs have to balance on a swing without falling off. The last person to fall wins HoH. As of right now, there are only four people left in the comp: Jackson, Holly, Analyse, and Kat. I’m hoping for Kat because she’s the only one of them who might put Jackson on the block.

They’ve been on their swings for over an hour and I hate to say it but Jackson’s looking strong. If Jackson wins this HoH, I am going to scream. So, let’s hope he falls soon.

Watching in terror,

Lisa Marie

Well, it’s that time of the week again!

It’s time for you to have your say in who goes home this week!

Do you vote for

JACK, the 2nd most unlikable person in the house

or

BELLA, the 3rd most unlikable person in the house?

Let us know in the comments below or vote in our poll over at the Big Brother Blog Facebook Group! We’ve also got a poll over on the right side of this page but, for some reason, we’ve had some trouble getting the previous two polls to work properly.

However you vote, be sure to watch the show on Thursday to see who will be voted out and who will become the next HoH!

Happy voting,

Lisa Marie

Hi y’all!

So, last night, we had the first big house meeting of the year and it was pretty much a dud. Remember the big dramatic house meetings of the past? Remember Zac being a jerk or Haliegh making things worse by trying to clear Bayleigh’s name? Last night’s house meeting was nothing like that.

Instead, Sam called a meeting because Analyse said something about not trusting him. Sam felt that it was important that everyone know that he wasn’t a part of any of Nick and Bella’s plans. During the meeting, Nick said that Sam could be trusted and then pretty much took all the blame for trying to convince Cliff to lie to Christie and put someone like Analyse or Tommy on the block. Nick told the house that he realized that he was probably going to lose Bella this week and that he was going to go home next week. Nick basically tried to come across as being as pathetic as possible. He’s trying to get people to feel sorry for him and not view him as a threat. He and Bella both know that Bella is going but, in private, Nick has told her that he’s not going to give up and he plans to at least make it to the jury.

Anyway, in the end, it was a pretty boring house meeting. Jessica even called it the most pleasant meeting she had ever been a part of, which isn’t what this season needs. We need drama and people fighting and power shifting from one side of the house to another. Instead, we’ve got a bunch of floaters who are basically just going along with whatever the majority says.

For example, Cliff has still been telling Nicole, Jessica, and Kat that one reason why he had to put up Bella was because “it’s too early in the game for me to go back on my word.” Uhmmm …. does Cliff not remember that Jack, Christie, and the gang all lied to his face and blindsided him less than a week ago?

Earlier today, Cliff had a meeting with his fellow outsiders, Nicole, Jessica, and Kat. They all agreed that, for this week, it’s best just to vote out Bella because there’s no way to get the votes to save her and it’s not like Bella would show any appreciation even if they did save her. They’re right about Bella being untrustworthy and unappreciative but seriously, Jack’s a huge threat. Bella, on the other hand, is currently the least powerful person in the House. Why would you just shrug your shoulders and say, “I guess we won’t try to get rid of the biggest threat in the house?” Why wouldn’t you at least make the effort to flip a few votes. Why surrender so easily?

Cliff, Nicole, Jessica, Nick, and Kat all agreed that they have to go strong for the HoH this week if they’re going to have any hope of keeping the Six Shooters from dominating the rest of the game. Well, we’ll see. If it’s an endurance comp, that could work out well for Nicole.

Anyway, we’ll see what happens on Thursday but, for now, it looks like Bella will be voted out unanimously.

Bleh.

I know that we all had big hopes for Cliff when he not only won his way back into the House and then became HoH. And then when he put both Jack and Jackson on the block, it looked like Cliff might have single-handedly saved this season.

Well, sorry, folks! It was not to be!

Earlier today, they had the veto ceremony and Jackson took himself off the block. Cliff kept his promise to Christie and he nominated Bella for eviction. Christie did not have to use her power, which means that she and the Six (I guess they’re calling themselves the Six Shooters now) are going to be safe this week and the next week.

WHAT WAS CLIFF THINKING!?

I mean, at the very least, he could have forced Christie to use her power. Bella would have still been nominated and evicted but at least the power would be gone and Cliff and his allies could have concentrated on going after the members of the Six next week. Instead, Cliff basically let Christie keep her power and went ahead and nominated one of the few people not to vote for him last Thursday. And now, because Bella and Nick have no idea how to campaign without getting on everyone’s nerves, Bella is going to go and Jack is going to stay.

And listen, I can’t stand Bella. Normally, I’d love to see Bella voted out. But Jack is a HUGE threat and now, Jack and his alliance are going to have the numbers necessary to basically dominate the rest of this game. They’ve already agreed that they’re only going to keep Cliff around until after the double eviction. Cliff basically sold out for nothing.

It’s frustrating!

My hope is that Jack will somehow annoy everyone so much that they’ll decide to blindside him on Thursday but I don’t see it happening. Not when the other option is Bella.

In other news, Jackson and Holly are now broken up. Holly told Jackson that she didn’t want to have sex with all of America watching. Jackson said that he was making “an executive decision” to dump Holly and move on.

Jackson is also currently a Have-Not which means that he’s only allowed to eat slop. Jackson has been complaining non-stop about this ever since the week began. Earlier this morning, Jackson was spotted going into the kitchen. When he stepped out of the kitchen, it appears that he had something in the pockets of his shorts. Jackson then stepped into the shower, turned on the water, and then ducked down so the camera couldn’t see him. However, it was possible to hear what sounded like a package being opened. A few minutes later, Jackson stood back up and was clearly chewing something. In all probability, Jackson just broke the Have-Not rules, which is supposed to result in a penalty nomination. We’ll see if Big Brother actually does anything about it.

Seriously, Jackson and Jack are just …. bleh!

P.S. Anyway, just to make it official:

HoH: Cliff

Nominees: Jack and Bella

What’s going to happen at tomorrow’s veto meeting?

Honestly, I’m not sure. So many different things have been said in the House since last night that I’m having a hard time keeping track of it all. No matte what else you might be able to say about Cliff, he’s good at not being easily read.

Jackson, of course, has the veto so he’ll be coming off the block no matter what. The only question is whether or not Christie is going to use her Diamond Power of Veto to put Bella up as a replacement. Jack and Jackson both want Christie to use the power and have been pressuring her about it ever since Jackson won the veto. Christie does not want to use the power. She’d rather save it so she can use it to potentially save herself as opposed to just wasting it to keep Jack and Jackson safe.

(Of course, Christie could have avoided all of this if she had just kept quiet about having the power but, of course, Christie can never keep a secret.)

Christie’s brilliant idea is to just get Cliff to agree to nominate Bella himself and then she can keep her power and the Alliance of Six (or whatever they’re calling themselves this week) can vote out Bella. She suggested all of this to Cliff, with the idea being that, if Cliff nominates Bella, he’ll then be a part of the big alliance and no one will target him in the upcoming weeks.

Cliff led Christie to believe that was what he was open to nominating Bella and he assured her that, if she didn’t use the veto, he wouldn’t backdoor her or another member of the Six. However, Cliff then told Nicole that he wasn’t sure if he really wanted to honor that agreement because Cliff really wants to get Jack out of the House. Cliff even said that he was thinking of maybe putting up someone like Tommy because everyone likes Tommy and there’s no way they’d vote to evict him.

However, it now appears that Cliff is going to keep his promise to Christie because he doesn’t believe in breaking his word and he swore on his wife. So, now, Cliff probably is going to put up Bella and Christie’s going to get to keep her diamond power of veto for another week.

That said, Christie is a mess so you can never be too sure about what’s going to happen. Remember how paranoid she got last week? I could see her once again having another freakout and using her power to nominate Bella. For the record, Christie has told Tommy that she’s not going to make up her mind until tomorrow morning.

(For the record, Christie has to use the veto before the veto meeting. She can’t use it once the veto meeting has started. So, if Cliff did go back on his promise, she wouldn’t be able to jump up and announce that she was using her power.)

So, is Bella going to be nominated tomorrow? It looks like it but I’m not totally sure. Personally, I’m hoping that Cliff decides to make a huge move. Let’s put it like this: Dan Gheesling would have made the same deal that Cliff made but there’s no way Dan would actually honor it. Sometimes, you have to be ruthless to win this game.

We’ll see what happens!

Well, everyone, I know that I was really, really excited yesterday when I learned who Cliff had nominated for eviction. Unfortunately, I have some sad new for everyone who was looking forward to seeing either Jack or Jackson leave the House on Thursday.

Today was the veto comp. At the veto draw, Jack used his Whacktivity Power to select Analyse to compete with him, Jackson, Cliff, and Kat for the veto. So, Jack’s power is now gone and Christie is the only person left in the House with a special power.

They just finished up the veto comp and….

….well, there’s no gentle way to put this:

JACKSON WON THE VETO!

*sigh*

Yes, that’s right. Jackson is now safe for the week. Unfortunately, it appears that there’s also a chance that Jack might soon be safe as well. As the entire house knows, Christie has the Diamond Power of Veto. Ever since the veto comp ended, Jack has been pressuring Christie to use the Diamond Power of Veto and to take either him or Jackson off the block. (If Christie took Jackson off the block, Jackson would then use his veto to take Jack off the block as well.) The twist with the Diamond Power of Veto is that Christie would then name the replacement nominee. The plan is for her to nominate Bella and then to vote Bella out of the House.

And don’t get me wrong! I would love to see Bella voted out but I’d much rather see arrogant Jack go first. After the way that he’s bullied everyone in the House, I’d love to see Jack go pre-jury. And you just know that if Christie uses the power and saves Jack, he’s going to be insufferable for the rest of the game.

Here’s the catch. Christie doesn’t want to use the power. However, she knows that if she doesn’t, she’ll officially be on the bad side of Jack’s alliance and she’ll be setting herself up as a target. She told Tommy that she’s going to wait until she talks to Cliff before she makes any decision on what she’s going to do. I think her hope is that Cliff will nominate Bella on his own and that way, she’ll be able to hold on to her power in case she needs it to save herself.

Christie was just telling Tommy that she may have made a mistake telling everyone that she had the power. Uh …. yeah. Christie never knows when to stop talking.

We have two days until the veto meeting so I’m sure Jack will continue to pressure Christie and Christie will continue to freak out. Personally, I would not waste my power on someone else nor would I ask anyone to do that for me. But this is the Big Brother House and Jack usually gets what he wants.

We’ll see what happens! Here’s hoping Christie can stand strong!

Y’know, Julie Chen always says that things in the Big Brother House can change in an instant. Usually, I kinda roll my eyes at that because we’ve all seen seasons where everyone — from the HoH to the houseguests — just do what one person orders them to do, regardless of whether it’s good for their game or not.

Well, for once, the old saying is true. As of today, things have changed in the Big Brother House and it did happen in an instant.

Here’s what happened:

As we all know, Cliff was voted out last night. It was a blindside and it was obvious that Cliff was not particularly happy about it. However, Cliff then won the chance to reenter the House.

They then competed for HoH and guess who won?

CLIFF!

So, Cliff went from being on the block to being the new Head of Household! Cliff has all the power and, from the minute he became HoH, he made it clear that he was looking for revenge. He knew exactly who had voted for him. The members of Gr8ful all scrambled up to the HoH room and told him that everyone in the House wanted Nick and Bella out and that, if Cliff didn’t do what the House wanted, it could hurt his game.

Cliff didn’t care. Just a few minutes ago, they had the nomination ceremony and….

CLIFF NOMINATED JACK AND JACKSON FOR EVICTION!

Now, Cliff did tell Nicole that he might nominate Nick if one of his nominations is vetoed. But, for the most part, it appears that he really wants Jack out of the House. So, after four weeks of telling people what to do and bullying the other Houseguests and talking down to everyone, it looks like Jack might leave without even making it to the jury!

Now, of course, a lot can happen. There’s still a veto comp to be played. Christie still has her diamond power of veto, though it sounds like she wants to hold onto it to protect herself. But, as of right now, Jack is the target!

I swear, I never thought this would happen so early in the game and I certainly didn’t think that Cliff would be the one to do it. But now that it’s happened, I’m very happy.

This might be good week!

Well, that was a strange episode of Big Brother.

Now, standard warnings apply. If you haven’t seen tonight’s eviction episode, everything below is going to be a spoiler. So, if you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t read any further!

So, as we expected, tonight we got our first blindside of the season. Nick and Bella thought that they had the votes to evict Nicole but instead, only four people (Sam, Bella, Jessica, and Kat) voted for Nicole. The Gr8ful alliance or the Inevitable Nine or whatever the Hell they’re calling themselves now, all voted for Cliff. So, by a vote of 6-4, Cliff was sent to Camp Comeback. Nick and Bella both looked stunned!

However, tonight was also the end of the Camp Comeback twist! So, no sooner was Cliff evicted then he was competing against Ovi, David, and Kemi for the chance to reenter the House. It was basically one of those comps where the competitors had to move some balls through a maze and whoever got the most balls through would reenter the game. And to everyone’s surprise, Cliff not only won but it wasn’t even close! For someone who has spent the entire season being rather low-key and trying to stay under the radar, Cliff looked extremely determined to get back into the game.

Personally, I was hoping that David would be the one to make it back in. Cliff’s a nice guy but he’s not going to shake up the House. David, though, seemed like he had a lot of potential. It’s a shame that we never really got a chance to see David play the game. That said, Cliff totally dominated that comp and he did earn his way back into the House.

So, now, Kemi, David, and Ovi are all gone from the game and Camp Comeback is over. As I write this, we’re waiting for the HoH Comp to begin. Nick and Bella are extremely angry right now, though Nick is handling it better than Bella. Tommy explained to Nick that people like him but they don’t trust Bella. Bella, meanwhile, went up to Jack and said that if she saw him talking to Nicole or Cliff, she would assume that meant he was plotting against her.

“That sounds a little threatening,” Jack replied.

I’m not sure if they’re going to show the HoH comp on the feeds or not. Right now, if anyone should be worried, it should be Bella, Nick, and Sam. Christie and the other members of Gr8ful have been talking about putting Bella and Nick on the block and then backdooring Sam after the veto.

We’ll see what happens!
