Big Brother 21 — Getting Ready For A Blindside

by Lisa Marie Bowman on July 16, 2019

Hi, y’all!

So, today, the scheming and the plotting in the most disgusting house in Big Brother history continued. Christie, Jack, and the other members of Gr8ful (with the obvious exceptions of Nick and Bella) are still planning on pulling off a blindside on Thursday. Even though they’ve been assuring Nick and Bella that they’re all going to vote for Nicole, they’re actually planning on voting for Cliff.

How committed are they currently to this blindside? They’re so committed that they’re not even letting Nicole know that she’s going to be safe! Christie believes that, if they tell Nicole, Nicole will just run over to Nick and Bella and tell them what Christie is planning. Then, in Christie’s view, Nick and Bella will claim that it was their idea to begin and, as a result, Nicole will be more loyal to Nick and Bella than to Christie, Tommy, and Jack.

So, in other words, at least four people are going to be blindsided by the vote on Thursday: Nick, Bella, Cliff, and Nicole.

As for what happens in the week after the vote, Christie’s plan is to target Nick, Bella, and Sam. She wants to take out Sam first so that Nick and Bella won’t have any allies in the House once they’re put up together. Christie is planning on using the Diamond Power of Veto if either Bella or Sam wins the next HoH.

Meanwhile, over in Camp Comeback, David and Ovi have both agreed that, if either one of them gets back in the game and wins HoH, they’re going to go after Jack. Jack has basically been rude to both of them, demanding that the rest of the House not talk game with them. Jack has also been calling David “kid,” even though David is older than him. So, if either David or Ovi makes it back into the game and somehow manages to win HoH, Jack could finally find himself targeted.

Presumably, we’ll find out who will be returning from Camp Comeback on Thursday’s show. We’ll see what happens!

Big Brother 21 — Veto Meeting Results

by Lisa Marie Bowman on July 15, 2019

Hi, everyone!

So, I don’t even really know where to begin with what’s happening in the Big Brother House today. Let’s just say that a lot of it isn’t exactly the type of thing that you usually discuss in “polite company.” But we’re going to have to do it!

Lets start things by updating who is on the block. Earlier today, they held the veto meeting and Kat kept her promise to Jessica. Kat took Jessica off the block and Nick put Nicole on the block. Of course, at this point, everyone hates Nick and Bella so Nicole doesn’t have anything to worry about. Cliff is going to be voted out because no one wants to give either Bella or Nick a victory.

However, shortly before the veto meeting, Christie went totally insane. Somehow, she got it into her head that Nick and Bella were planning to backdoor her and she proceeded to run to Tommy and Jackson and ask them if she should go ahead and use her Diamond Power of Veto to save herself. Both Jackson and Tommy told her that Nick wasn’t planning on nominating her but Christie didn’t believe them because apparently, she thought she overheard Nick talking about a “red flame” and she felt that was code for backdooring her.

(Yeah, I don’t quite understand it either.)

Finally, Christie ended up sobbing to Nick. Nick assured her that he was not going to nominate her. Christie swore that she would never put Bella and Nick on the block, as long as they didn’t backdoor her.

So, Christie did not use her diamond power of veto and, just as everyone else knew would happen, Nicole was put on the block. However, Christie is still convinced that Nick was planning on nominating her. Christie believes that, at the last minute, she managed to talk Nick out of his nonexistent plan to put her on the block and now, she’s even more obsessed with getting Nick and Bella out of the house than ever. That, of course, is good news for Nicole.

Meanwhile — and this is totally TMI so I apologize in advance — Analyse, Holly, and Bella have all come down with a very uncomfortable rash in a very private area, which has led to a lot of speculation on twitter since all of them have been having sex in the HoH shower. When Holly told Jackson about her rash, he didn’t seem particularly surprised and said that it would clear up in a week. Make of that what you will.

For the record, all houseguests undergo several medical tests before entering the House so, if someone did have an STD, it would presumably have been detected. However, Jack has talked about how he was a last minute addition to the cast. He was expedited into the house, which means that he didn’t have to go through the same battery of tests and background checks as the rest of the House. If nothing else, it sounds like the casting people were really determined to get Jack on the show this season. (It’s probably the whole Aquaman thing.)

So, back to Jackson — even if he’s not spreading a disease in the shower, this guy is just disgusting. He’s the type of guy who drinks straight from the carton and then puts the carton back in the refrigerator without wiping it off. Just earlier today, he walked into pantry with his hands down the front of his shorts and then he used those same hands to handle food without washing them first! Seriously, I could not handle living in a house with a guy like that. BLEH!

Anyway, when last I checked in on the house, Jack was throwing a fit over Kemi keeping her shaker bottle in the refrigerator because he says that it takes up too much room. Just another day in the Big Brother House.

Lisa Marie

P.S. Just to summarize: Cliff and Nicole are on the block. Nicole is Nick and Bella’s target but the rest of the House is probably going to vote for Cliff. I’m going to guess that, on Thursday’s show, Ovi, David, Cliff, Kemi, and probably Cliff will compete for the chance to reenter the House. We’ll see what happens!

Big Brother 21 — Week 3 Veto Comp Results

by Lisa Marie Bowman on July 14, 2019

Hi, everyone!

Well, we finally found out who won the veto last night. Unfortunately, I was called away from the feeds before the winner was revealed so I apologize for being late in letting you know that….

….KATHRYN HAS WON THE VETO!

Kathryn has already told Jessica that she’s taking her off the block. Jessica, of course, is super happy about that. Also super happy about it is Nick and Bella because now they can now try to backdoor Nicole. They’re pretty sure that if they put up Nicole, everyone will do what the HoH wants and vote to evict her. I mean, that’s what everyone did when Jack was HoH, right?

What Nick and Bella aren’t considering is that neither one of them is Jack. People in the House are legitimately scared of getting on Jack’s bad side and being targeted by him. He’s got a strong alliance and he always has a shot at winning comps. However, no one’s intimidated by Nick and Bella has been revealed to be a serial liar. Nick can’t compete for the HoH and no one thinks Bella has a shot at winning it so it’s not like either one of them has the type of leverage necessary to force the House to do something that it doesn’t want to do.

That’s good new for Nicole. Christie wants to keep Nicole in the game because she feels that Nicole will be a good ally for getting rid of Nick and Bella. Christie has already told Tommy and Jack that she has the Diamond Power of Veto and that, under no circumstances, is she planning on voting to evict Nicole. Christie has made it clear that she wants to vote out Cliff and, by voting the way she wants, Jack can help make sure that Christie’s power isn’t used against him or the other members of the Gr8ful alliance.

Jack has already approached Jackson about keeping Nicole and Jackson appears to be on board. (Jackson has been saying that Cliff has to go ever since Christie first overhead Cliff talking to the feedsters.) Presumably, Analyse and Holly will vote however Jack wants them to vote. The same is probably true of the rest of the House, as well. Jack gets what Jack wants.

So, basically, it appears the Cliff is in trouble this week and Bella and Nick are going to be in even bigger trouble next week!

Big Brother 21 — Life In The House Is Unfair

by Lisa Marie Bowman on July 13, 2019

Hi, y’all!

So, I’m sitting here and I’m waiting for the veto comp to start. It appears that we’re running a little bit behind in the Big Brother House today. They didn’t even pick the players for the veto until about two hours ago. Those players are Nick, Cliff, Jessica, Christie, Jessica, and Kat.

That’s really bad news for Nicole. When Nick first took over as HoH, it appeared that he would be targeting Cliff. However, the target has now shifted over to Nicole. They are determined to get her out. A lot of that is because they’re convinced that she’s the one who cast the one vote to evict Jessica on Thursday. (It was actually Jackson.) When Bella confronted Nicole about it, Nicole swore that she voted for Kemi and that she wasn’t the one who revealed the details of the all-girl’s alliance and that she wasn’t planning on coming after the members of the Gr8ful Alliance. In fact, she said that she swore on her “bracelets and her grandmother’s grave.”

Bella then told Christie that Nicole had sworn on “her grandmother.” Christie said that Nicole’s grandmother was dead and Bella decided that this proved that Nicole was a liar. Of course, Nicole didn’t swear on “her grandmother.” She specially said “grandmother’s grave.” But that didn’t stop Bella from confronting Nicole and calling her a liar and accusing her of using her dead grandmother to get sympathy. As Nicole later told Kemi, she came very close to punching Bella when Bella brought her family into their argument.

So now, Bella has decided that Nicole has to go and Nick has decided to do whatever Bells tells him to do. Meanwhile, poor Nicole has been begging everyone in the House to believe her about Bella lying. What’s upsetting is that everyone knows that Bella’s a liar but no one’s going to call her out on it as long as Nick is HoH.

Nicole’s entire strategy was to be the “house mother” so now, she doesn’t really know how to handle being the target. She keeps asking people like Analyse and Christie whether or not she should call a house meeting to address Bella’s lies. The thing is, though, house meetings always seem to do more harm than good. And now that Nicole isn’t even competing for the veto, her fate is totally in the hands of the people who are. The majority of those people are lying to her face, telling her that they know Bella’s liar but then, once Nicole leaves, talking about how they’re going to vote her out on Thursday.

It’s been really difficult to watch. Unfortunately. Nicole doesn’t seem to have a plan for what to do once she’s on the block. Right now, the only question seems to be whether she’ll be replacing Cliff or Jessica.

And now, we wait for the veto comp,

Lisa Marie

Big Brother 21 — Week 3 Nominations

by Lisa Marie Bowman on July 12, 2019

Last night, we nearly got our first big physical fight of the season. After Kemi had been sent to Camp Comeback and Nick had won HoH, Bella was not particularly happy that Kemi had used her eviction speech to call her and Nick out for trying to play both sides of the house. Bella and Kemi basically ended up having a big argument over whether Bella could be trusted or not. At one point, Bella put her hand on Kemi’s arm, which led to Kemi pushing Bella away.

Beyond that, last night we got to watch Nick both brag on himself and host a little HoH pity party. Nick apparently believes that he and Bella tried so hard to be nice to Kemi when she was on the block and he just can’t believe that Kemi was “so mean” to him in her eviction speech.

For the most part, the main thing that Kemi’s speech accomplished is that it made Nick and Bella even more determined to prove their loyalty to the Gr8ful alliance. Needless to say, that’s bad news for Cliff and Nicole. More on that in a minute.

Today, the feeds have been down a lot because of the Whacktivity competition and the nominations ceremony. The Whacktivity Comp was apparently a word scramble where they had to unscramble a phrase that was on a board that was covered with cockroaches. BLEH! After the comp, Christie told Tommy that she was the winner. As a result, she now has the Diamond Power of Veto. What this means is that she can not only veto a nomination but she can also pick the replacement! It’s good for the next four weeks. So far, Tommy is the only person that Christie has told but, knowing Christie, she won’t be able to keep this a secret.

As for the nominations, they weren’t a surprise. Nick nominated Cliff and Jessica for eviction. Cliff now knows that the Gr8ful alliance has been eavesdropping on him. As for Jessica, she’s freaking out but Nick assured her that she was safe. He told her that he was only nominating her because — get this — she’s been through it before and will be able to handle it better than some of the other houseguests!

If Cliff or Jessica wins the POV, it sounds like Nicole will be the replacement.

So, for now, the least likable alliance in BB History has all the power. Hopefully, that’ll change sometime soon. Probably not this week, though….

Big Brother 21 — Week 2 Eviction Update

by Lisa Marie Bowman on July 11, 2019

Hi, everyone!

So, if you haven’t seen Thursday’s episode yet, everything below is going to be a spoiler. So, read at your own risk!

So, as she’s been threatening to do, Kemi called out Nick and Bella in her speech before the vote. It didn’t do her any good, of course. Jack wanted Kemi gone and, for some reason, the Houseguets feel that they have to do what he wants. So, everyone voted for Kemi except for …. JACKSON!

That’s right. Jackson voted to evict Jessica. I’m not sure what his strategy was. I don’t know if he’s trying to stir up trouble in the House by casting a dissenting vote. (I could easily imagine him trying to blame someone else for the vote.) Perhaps he’s thinking that, if Kemi wins a chance to reenter the House, he’ll be the only person who can tell her — without having to lie — that he didn’t vote to evict her. All I can say for sure is that Jack — being the paranoid guy that he is — will not be happy about that one vote. We’re going to hear a lot about that one vote over the rest of the week.

The HoH comp was an ax throwing comp, with a twist. At the top of the target, there were two red dots, one for safey, one for $5,000. If a HG opted not to compete for HoH, they could go for either safety or the money. Now, no one hit either one of those targets. It looked to me like maybe Cliff tried to get the money but I can’t say for sure.

What I can say is that the new HoH is …. NICK! That’s right, Nick scored a 90 so Nick is now the HoH! That’s good news for Bella because she was probably going to be targeted otherwise. Nick will keep Bella safe but who will he go after? It’s hard to say. Technically, he’s a part of Gr8ful but he and Bella have spent the entire game so far trying to play every side of the House. If I had to guess, though, I imagine that Nick will play it safe and do whatever Jack says and that’s going to be bad news for Cliff. Of course, it’s also going to depend on whether or not Jackson can frame anyone else for casting the vote for Jessica. If Jackson convinces everyone that Sam or Nicole cast that vote, that person could become the new target.

We’ll see what happens!

IT’S TIME TO OPEN UP THE DIARY ROOM!

by Lisa Marie Bowman on July 10, 2019

Hi, everyone!

Well, it’s that time of the week again! We know who is on the block. Most of us know who won the veto. It’s time for you to cast your vote on who you want to see sent to Camp Comeback this week!

Now, obviously, if you still haven’t seen tonight’s episode or you still don’t know who won the veto, the rest of this post is going to be a spoiler. So, if you want to be surprised about all that stuff, don’t read any further, okay?

Now, for the rest of you, who do you vote to send packing this week?

Do you vote for

KEMI, who Jack has been obsessed with since day one

or

JESSICA, who this week discovered that an all-girl’s alliance never works in the early days of Big Brother?

Cast your vote in the comments below or over in the poll on the right side of the page! And then be sure to watch Thursday to see who will be voted out and who will become the next HoH!

As for what’s happening in the House right now, the G8ful Alliance seems like it’s going to fall apart soon. Everyone now knows that Bella can’t be trusted and it seems like Jack and Jackson might be planning on targeting her next week. Ealier, Kemi said that, if she feels that the vote is going to go against her, then she’s going to reveal everyone’s secrets in her pre-vote speech and that’s pretty much going to mean exposing Bella as being a snake. So, it does seem that Kemi will be voted into Camp Comeback tomorrow but she might create a little drama in her pre-eviction speech.

We’ll see what happens tomorrow!

Happy voting!

Oh, Cliff.

After getting nominated last week and then managing to avoid getting put on the block this week, Cliff seemed like he was doing a pretty good job of staying in the background and not making himself into a target. He may not have been a member of the main alliance but no one in the House viewed him as being a threat. In fact, many of them talked about how he reminded them of their own fathers. Cliff seemed like he was in a good position to go far in this game.

It’s amazing how quickly things can change.

Ever since the feeds went live, Cliff has been talking to the feedsters. Every morning, he ducks into an empty room and talks about his game and the other houseguests and what his plans are. He’s always assumed that everyone else was asleep and therefore, he didn’t have to worry about anyone overhearing.

This morning, though, someone was awake. Christie was on the other side of the door, eavesdropping on every word that Cliff said. Cliff said that he was in an alliance with Ovi and Nicole and that their plan was to bring in a few more people — Christie, Tommy, Bella, Nick, and Sam were the ones that he mentioned — and then they could break up the couples in the House. Cliff also said that it was unfortunate that Nicole was probably slated to go after Kemi and Jessica but that, once she was gone, he would be a free agent.

Well, of course, Christie ran back to the bedroom, where she let Tommy, Holly, and Jackson know about what Cliff was saying. Jackson then went outside and told Jack about what Christie heard.

Now, even before Jackson approached him, Jack was already feeling paranoid. Last night, Kemi went to him and told him that Bella was the one who wanted to set up the all-girl’s alliance and that Bella has essentially been playing both sides. Now, after hearing what Cliff said, Jack is worried that Bella and Nick are conspiring to get rid of him. Jack went on to say that, after this week, the new targets are going to be Bella, Nick, and Cliff (in that order).

Obviously, that’s good news for whichever one of the nominees manages to survive this week. Originally, the plan was for Kemi to go this week and then Jessica but now it sounds like the G8ful alliance will be too busy turning on each other to go after either Jessica or Kemi next week.

Right now, Cliff still doesn’t know that he was overheard. Jackson’s been thinking about saying something but he doesn’t want to say that Christie was the one who overheard.

We’ll see what happens but, right now, things are not looking good for Cliff Hogg III.

Big Brother 21: What Happened At The Veto Meeting

by Lisa Marie Bowman on July 8, 2019

Hi, everyone!

Just a quick update to let you know that they held the veto meeting today and Sam did NOT use the veto. So, Kemi and Jessica are remaining on the block and one of them will be sent to Camp Comeback on Thursday.

Which one will it be?

Right now, it looks like it’ll probably be Kemi. Jessica is not trusted in the House and Jack wants get her out sooner or later but he’s been trying to get Kemi out since week one and I doubt that he’ll give up his chance to finally to do it.

One thing that’s currently working against Kemi is that, last night, she tried to talk Sam into using the veto. Of course, Bella found out about it and she immediately ran off to let the rest of the Gr8ful alliance know what was going on. To me, it makes perfect sense that you would try to convince someone to keep you in the game but Jack sees this as proof that Kemi’s a threat. The rest of the House has said that they’ll vote however Jack wants them to vote so Kemi is definitely in trouble.

That said, a lot of people want Jessica gone. Ever since she’s been nominated, she’s been trying to shift the blame for the all-girl’s alliance onto someone else and, as a result, she’s alienated a lot of people who were previously willing to work with her. As of right now, Jessica’s strategy seems to be to try to convince everyone that Bella was the one who wanted an all-girl’s alliance, not her. However, Jack still seems to want to get rid of Kemi instead of Jessica.

You really do have to wonder why Jack has this power over people. Jackson has said that he’d rather vote out Jessica. So has Nick, Bella, Nicole, Sam, and Tommy. And yet, if Jack says that wants her gone, they’re probably going to vote for her. Is Jack really that intimidating to these houseguests?

Speaking of Jack, he and Analyse have been hooking up ever since Jack won HoH. Analyse is ecstatic about it but, earlier today, Jack finally decided it was time to tell someone about his new Chaos Power. So, who did he tell? Christie! These showmances are going to get messy and, considering how much I dislike most of the people in the House, I can’t wait to see it.
