Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 15 - HoH conclusion and Nominations

Fresh week in the house of horrors, and Bella has had her marching orders by a vote of 8-2 and the endurance HoH comp is well underway, but it won't be Jessica or Nicole as they fell off their vines at the end of the last episode

Christie still has her Panic power, but is running out of time to use it. Cliff failed to get it flushed as he fell for her manipulation in keeping a promise to her, and effectively sealing Bella's fate. Something which played into Shit Shooters hands by the way, as Christie was 50/50 on using her power, and now Cliff has essentially shortened his time in the house by a few weeks. By my reckoning he will be very lucky to make jury.

Word of warning, the first 30 minutes of this episode are dedicated to the HoH comp, and only about 18 minutes are on house action which does include the HoH's nominations, and also the return of WHO WANTS TO SEE MY HOH ROOM plus all the house action from those 18 minutes, what there is of it.

Right, think that's about everything and now let's see who is next in power, and remember as outgoing HoH, Cliff is not eligible to compete. 

We pick up the action a few minutes before the last episode left the airwaves, and apart from Cliff it's all hands and feet on vines and as you know already.

Basically, whoever hangs on the longest is the new HoH for this week, but there will be added entertainment. Each houseguest, except Cliff who's not competing, will draw a token from a nearby box and the 2 who draw the 2 poison ivy tokens will get a not so nice surprise when the comp is over.

Nick says he has to win this comp, as all eyes are on him and Sam this week to go on the block. Aquaman says just that, and Christie says she is soley responsible for Bella going, and anyone winning this comp apart from Nick would be ideal for her game. Cliff admits his HoH didn't go quite to plan, holy understatement. It was a disaster, and now he's saying he will make inroads into the group. In your dreams, they'll screw you over as soon as they see fit.

As we knew already, Jessica fell first, and from the draw box it's a smiley face so no nasty surprise for her. 

Jessica's time was 3 minutes, and after 5:52, Nicole is next to fall which she is not too happy about and she draws a smiley face as well from the box as well. She says she wants Nick and Sam to win so they can take a shot at the Shit Shooters, sound thinking. Cliff could have done that last week, but he blew it. Sorry for sounding like a broken record, but so cheesed off with Cliff. Ok, Bella wasn't exactly popular herself during her stay, but there was a big shot at Aquaman there or one of the other Shit Shooters and he didn't take it.

Sam is next to go, so all hope is beginning to evaporate that we will get a decent HoH and we will get stuck with a Shit Shooter. He is pinning his hopes on Nick taking this. Sam draws a smiley face, so surprise avoided for him.

All of a sudden a load of pink ooze fires at the remaining players, which unbalances Kat and Christie. Anyone would think it's sulphuric acid, the way Christie carries on. Anyways after a little talk with Jack, he tells her to drop. She then says she didn't want to win this HoH anyway, not the way to play this Big Brother format if you ask me. No room for cowardice. HOWEVER the upside is that she draws one of the two poison ivy tokens, and we will find out later in the episode what this entails.

Disaster for a few next, as after 17 minutes, Nick does fall and it's between Kat and who's left from the Shit Shooters to who will be HoH next. Nick draws a smiley face. Aquaman says he doesn't trust Kat, well she brings a darn sight more fresh air than you do to the house, pal. That's something in her favour, in fact I wouldn't mind seeing her as HoH to see your bigoted face and the grovelling would be well worth it.

Kat says she wants to win, and who can blame her. An HoH week with her in charge would be great, and I'm telling you know, she may be as mad as a box of frogs but she makes people out here smile as I have heard loads of good things said about her on various podcasts. She really is hellbent on getting Trapjaw Jackson out of there, as she had to put up with him in the Have Not room. Speaking of that, we then see a clip of him letting some gas go, and as she sprayed some air purifier around he stormed out of the room. Wassup wit that? 

Hallelujah, we then see Aquaman fall, but the downside is that he doesn't draw the other poison ivy token. Analyse starts to struggle, but she is most determined to hang on and get this HoH no matter what.

Tommy is next to drop, and just like Christie says he didn't want to win this anyway, and adds that it is not yet his time to win a comp. He does draw the other poison ivy chip though, so it will be him and Christie taking ones for the team this week, and everything about this poison ivy stuff will be revealed in due course.

So now we are down to Trapjaw, Kat, Holly and Analyse. Absolutely willing Kat to do this, as you may or may not know Trapjaw and Holly, and Aquaman and Analyse had a kind of thing going in the house. You know as in the dreaded showmance. If Holly or Analyse win, it's technically a two player HoH as Trapjaw will tell Holly how to run things, and likewise Aquaman with Analyse.

Kat says she will try to stay on as long as she can because she really wants to outlast Trapjaw. But disaster nearly strikes as she loses her footing on one of the footholds, but manages to stay on through her need to outlast Trapjaw.

After 89 minutes off hanging on his vines, Trapjaw finally drops and it's going to be a guaranteed female HoH. Holly is now trying to cut deals to get people to drop, as in promising she won't put the people still on their vines on the block, and also that she wants to hear from her family. Kat wants to drop, but Analyse now chimes in saying she won't put Kat up. Unfortunately though two minutes after Trapjaw, Kat eventually drops, and a two player HoH is guaranteed. One of the two quiet girls in Holly or Analyse will be HoH, along with one of their squeezes. 

Lucky us, eh? Another week of terror ahead with Trapjaw or Aquaman running the HoH telling one of the two ladies who to put up.

Christie does tell us all what we know already, in that one of the boys will take over this HoH no matter who wins. No shit Sherlock.

And a short while later, Analyse drops and HOLLY is the new HoH, or should that be Trapjaw. Analyse is none too pleased about this result, as Trapjaw was talking so much to Holly in those closing stages. Them's the breaks, Analyse. Go back to the wallpaper where you belong.

Already, Trapjaw is really happy. All that power for her, and you are going to take it from her pal. I really hope this particular showmance does not take off outside of the house. Nick is fearing for his future in the house, and prays someone puts a target on themselves to divert attention away from him. Cliff retrieves a few beers he left over from his HoH reign.

Nick and Sam know they are screwed with the pre-Veto nominations, and Sam knows he has to pull himself together. He goes to talk to Holly, mind you who has talked to her outside of the Shit Shooters, as like Analyse she has basically been non existent. Analyse is still whining about not winning the HoH, due to Trapjaw's jibber jabber with Holly. Christie is sympathetic as she points out he is somewhat overbearing and bossy.

Who wants to see my HoH

Take 2 as nobody is in the room when Holly says it the first time, but the usual rush ensues the 2nd time. Unlike Big Brother Canada, there is no Wendy's meal, so Holly doesn't have to choose someone to eat with, even if she did it's obvious who she would pick anyway. She reads out a letter from her parents, which causes her to get emotional.

Nicole says it is nice to see that side of Holly as she is so quiet in the house. Another holy understatement there, as we haven't seen her much apart when she's with Shit Shooters. Christie expresses her concerns about Trapjaw to Tommy. Now, in case you missed the early episodes, it has been a secret alliance between Christie and Tommy, as they know each other from outside as Christie dated one of Tommy's family members. She runs off a list about Trapjaw, as in the way he treats Holly, talks himself up, plays the hero, constantly moody, and jumps between Kat and Holly most of the time.

The man of the moment has made himself at home with Holly in the HoH room, and showing signs already of dictating how to run this HoH. She wants to put up Nick and Sam, which everyone is expecting, but he is suggesting Nicole saying it would be less of a hit and lessens the chance of the survivor coming after him and Holly.

Time for Kat's nightly episodic bit of unintentional comedy. Tonight she says she is a bit of a conspiracy theorist, and asks Cliff how the flags on the moon can flutter if there is no gravity. Cliff tells her there is gravity on the moon. She then think Tupac is still alive and living under a different name. Next up she think Avril Lavigne has died and been replaced by Melissa, whoever that is. Finally that Area 51 has aliens and they shouldn't be messed with.

That girl is so out there, so to speak, but in a good way. She HAS to stay in for at least a few more weeks.

Poison Ivy

No, Batman's foe is not going in there. Tommy and Christie are summoned to the Diary Room. They emerge a short while later in swimsuits and covered in red make up made to resemble blotches on their skin. They are not allowed to shower or go outside, and also will be 'quarantined' for the next few days. 

Time for Sam's conversation, so off he goes to see Holly. Unfortunately Trapjaw is clinging on to her for dear life, so anything Sam says he hears as well. Basically the conversation goes something like 'You scratch our backs and we'll scratch yours', roughly translated we won't put you up if you don't put us up if you win HoH. What the hell has this got to do with Trapjaw, come on Holly this is your HoH. Don't let HIM run it like he is doing now.

Trapjaw realises the Shit Shooters will have to turn on each other, and Sam could be valuable in getting rid of the bigger targets. So another alliance dominating again unless things change very quickly. Yawn o rama city or what.

Speaking of Trapjaw, he is now telling Holly that Christie has to go soon, as she is too close to Tommy. Holly thinks Christie has everyone wrapped around her little finger, and she wouldn't be far wrong to be honest. I mean, she managed to get Cliff around to her way of thinking with all that BS last week about not using her power. Trapjaw continues to interfere telling her that's why Sam or Nick should stay so that shot could be taken at Christie. Play your own game, Holly, not his!!!!!!!

Holly tells us she wants to keep Sam, as she needs strong players for when the time comes to take the shots at the Shit Shooters

Nominations ceremony

Straight down to business, and she has nominated NICK and SAM. So basically, the two most have been expecting all episode long. She tells Nick about the lack of trust after he broke away from h8ful, and a few steps backwards have been taken. As for Sam, he has just got caught in the crossfire. 

She tells us her alliance want one of these nominees out. She freely admits that Shit Shooters will have to disband soon and start turning on each other. But now is not that time, and she doesn't want to cause division within the Shit Shooters. Strange, that's what everybody else wants as in Shit Shooters broken up and out the door. They are the chief troublemakers and the two main instigators of all the trouble are still there.

Who will win Veto, and will it be used to save Nick or Sam. Find out in Episode 16, when the Power of Veto competition rears it's head again.

Not much of note in that episode, as most knew the result of the HoH comp from the live feeds. Most knew Trapjaw would take over this HoH, and he has done that in spades. How that guy is still there is anybody's guess, as what you didn't see on screen was his constant rule breaking when it came to being a Have-Not. It's just unfortunate them backstage are condoning what he is doing and continues to do, in being a nasty pain in the rear end. Him and Aquaman both.

Will be a sad day when Kat is evicted, I just hope when she is she makes it to jury so we can get a few weeks more gems out of her with her unintentional comedy. Anything is better than watching one alliance picking the rest of the house off, while they sail through unscathed.

Until next time, stay frosty, keep on rocking, and let us pray the outsiders can catch a break in that house and chip away at the Shit Shooters

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 14 - Eviction and start of next HoH

And so another week in the house of horrors comes to a close, with either Bella or Aquaman facing the vote

Last time out, Jackson won Veto and Christie worked her manipulation on Cliff, who unfortunately fell for said manipulation, essentially doing the Shit Shooters work for them in putting Bella on the block who they wanted out, due to her and Nick breaking away from the bigger 8 person alliance and not being trusted.

As stated Jackson used Veto on himself and Cliff, as outgoing HoH, put Bella on the block in one of the most stupidest moves in recent history, citing he didn't want to break his word and not upset his family. Does Cliff even know what show he's on? Seriously. His life expectancy in the game has shortened considerably, I would say. Christie, meanwhile, strolls on with the remaining power in her back pocket, but time is running out to use it.

Anyways onto tonight's festivities and it's most probably a foregone conclusion now who will go. The best chance to get rid of Aquaman and Cliff, amongst others, blew it. Get ready for a Shit Shooter steam roll if it is the expected result.

Nick is none too pleased with Cliff, saying Cliff has probably lost everyone except Shit Shooters the game overall, and for me he isn't far wrong. Cliff says he didn't go against his word, for fear of Christie using the remaining power. Would that have been so bad, at least it would have been flushed and no longer a threat hanging over everyone? Cliff says Nick and Bella are a sinking ship, pot kettle black seeing he has shortened his game by a few weeks now.

Bella seems resigned to her fate as she plays checkers with Nick, and it causes an emotional response from both as they start crying. Bella thinks she deserves to be there. Given the way she acted towards Nicole, I would say yes and no. 

Aquaman and Trapjaw Jackson are with Cliff, saying he's got a really sweet deal. Jeez, Cliff really can't see this deal with Shit Shooters is worthless as they will get him out LONG before jury. Cliff then admits the move may have been a mistake, well duh. Too late now, Cliff. He thinks he can buy a few more weeks, good luck with that, pal. He seems very confident he will still be there when Shit Shooters start to fall apart. 

Holly and Kat are talking about the pageant world, and we see clips of them making a final 2 pact. Much like Nicole, Kat is adorable despite not playing with a full deck. She is so needed in this house, just bringing the lighter moments to a toxic house.

Back to Cliff and Bella, and he is explaining to Bella about why he put her up. Usual excuse, as in "afraid of Christie using the power" and whatever else. For all the good it will probably do, Bella suggests Cliff could break a tie if she could secure 5 votes, Cliff wishes her luck in this. Think she may need luck to pull this off. Cliff then ponders what to do should the unlikely tie scenario happen.

Bella uses the Aquaman is a bigger threat pitch with Kat and Christie. She admits she burnt bridges, and that may not work in her favour. Kat thinks Aquaman is a big player, and wonders two things. Firstly, would voting out Aquaman be good for her game, and secondly is it the right time to go after Aquaman.

Attention now switches to Jessica and equally adorable Nicole, however there is a downside given the way she treated Nicole recently. Jessica says she is still mad at Bella for outing the short lived Black Widows alliance, and Aquaman is basically part of a six making house decisions. Nicole seems to be impressed with Bella's campaigning, and this is the Bella she wanted to work with.

Pointless segment alert up next, as we get to see clips of Cliff's family watching him play the game so far. Think it's safe to skip over this bit.....

Eviction

Eviction time already, and as per the rules the nominees will not vote and Cliff, as HoH, will only vote in the event of a tie.

Bella basically lays it all on the line saying Shit Shooters will pick everyone outside of the alliance every week.

Aquaman's speech is just full of bullshit as he claims he has been very welcoming to everyone and acted with integrity. Think the live feeds speak a different story, pal.

Anyways onto the vote

• Christie votes to evict Bella
• Analyse votes to evict Bella
• Trapjaw votes to evict Bella
• Nick votes to evict Aquaman
• Sam votes to evict Aquaman
• Nicole votes to evict Bella
• Kat votes to evict Bella, but it should be noted she did have a brain fart and thought Trapjaw was still on the block and said his name first.
• Jessica votes to evict Bella
• Holly votes to evict Bella
• Tommy votes to evict Bella

By a vote of 8-2, Bella has been evicted to no great surprise. Thanks a lot, Cliff.

She admits to Julie that she and Nick were blindsided when Cliff was voted into Camp Comeback, and she firmly believes Christie was behind the flip. She does feel bad when talk turns to Nicole, and she says there were apologies during campaigning, and wishes she taken a few steps back and looked at the situation more, saying it was wrong not to let Nicole in the HoH room.

Then onto the subject of her big mouth, which basically exposed some new alliances and admits it was bad gameplay on her part. Showmance with Nick the next item, and Bella thinks it is real. Julie jokes about Bella going home to meet Mom. Usual goodbye messages are then played, and final thoughts being she is grateful to have been a part of this season, and thinks Nick or Sam have the best chance of winning. I seriously doubt that, wouldn't be at all surprised now with a Shit Shooter steam roll.

HoH competition

Pose in Ivy is the name of this game, and here is how it works. Basically it's endurance, but there are a few twists and turns. Whoever holds on the longest will be the new HoH, and as outgoing HoH Cliff is not eligible to play. Once a houseguest falls off their vines, then they have to draw a chip from the punishment box and 2 of those chips will contain the poison ivy punishment which will be elaborated on in the next episode.

While the competition goes on, Julie talks about a new twist which America will influence in the next Veto episode. Three houseguests chosen by America will take a field trip and one of their games will be on the line. More coming in said episode.

We go back to the comp to close the show, and Jessica has already fallen off, and then once the credits roll Nicole drops as well. 

Can the outsiders get this or will Shit Shooters claim yet another power......Find out in Episode 15

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 13 - Power of Veto

A new face and faction in power this week, as Cliff beat Aquaman to the HoH power. He immediately stamped his power on the house this week as he nominated both Aquaman and Trapjaw Jackson for eviction, but with 2 of the not so secret powers in Shit Shooters alliance hands it could get a bit problematic if one or both remaining powers are used.

Aquaman's power enables the Veto player picks gets redrawn if they are not to Jack's satisfaction, and Christie can give the Veto winner the power to pick the replacement nominee instead of the HoH.

Personally, Aquaman has the weakest power of the 2 so won't be no great loss if he used it.

We pick up the action after the nominations ceremony, and Cliff admits he needs to win this Veto with Christie's power hanging over the house.

Aquaman is throwing his toys out of the pram, nothing new there. This guy is just full of hate and loathing towards others, and let's hope he is out of there this week. Why the hell is Tommy crying though, it's not as if the two nominees are heading to a firing squad if one of them go. Christie is happy not be on the block, and is mulling over her power. She tells Shit Shooters that she will NOT use the power if an outsider wins Veto. Secretly she is planning not to use it as it's too early in the game.

Cliff is telling Kat, they have to watch each others backs, then in comes Bella and she is very happy that she did not go on the block. Finally in comes Nick and there is a little celebratory dance, you could say Cliff is dancing with the devils.

Slop

"Houseguests, there is no escape, as have-nots are here. They will only eat slop, sleep in the have-not room and have cold showers. Cliff, as HoH, has to choose 4 have-nots for the week"

Have-nots, as chosen by Cliff - TOMMY, KAT, CHRISTIE and TRAPJAW

Christie is now thanking Cliff for not putting her on the block, and says everyone knows she has the power, and will make up her own mind on whether to use it this week or not. Cliff, meanwhile, is wary of the power Christie has, and hopes to make sure she doesn't overshadow his HoH reign.

Trapjaw, Aquaman, Tommy and Christie are convening in the Have-Not room, and speculation is rampant about who has the other power. Jack then lets them in that he has the other power, and thinks that more Shit Shooters are in the Veto comp the better, and then Christie can use her power to get power back on their side.....What a revolting thought.

Veto picks

Cliff as HoH, and Aquaman and Trapjaw are automatically in this comp. Cliff draws Sam via the houseguests choice token, Aquaman draws Holly and Trapjaw draws Jess. But wait!!!!!!

Jack activates his Chaos power, causing the drawing to be reset, and off we again. Pointless power I would say, as it adds absolutely nothing. We go again......

Cliff draws Kat, Jack draws Sam and Trapjaw draws Analyse.....Jack's power can be only be used once so this are the players now for this comp.

Before the comp starts, Nick tells Bella he loves her.....Buckets all round, please. Cliff tells them both if Christie uses her power, there's not a lot he can do as there are not enough votes to go around. Winning the Veto is now even more of a priority for Cliff, as he needs to keep nominations the same.

Veto competition

No name for this one as far I could make out, so here's the explanation, and may I just say what a great setup for this comp. The players will go one at a time on a jetski, and they have to undress down to their swimsuit and then get out and press a button. But of course it's not as simple as that, as they have to press and hold 3 buttons while undressing. If one button is released, then the timer will speed up and go ten times faster, two buttons 30 times faster, and all 3 buttons 60 times faster. The player with the fastest time will the Veto, and if it hasn't been said already Christie could invoke her power, depending on who wins Veto.

Times after the competition 

Cliff - 4:47

Analyse - 9:06

Sam - 11:21

Kat - 3:25

Aquaman - 13:10

Trapjaw - 2:59

Oh dear, Trapjaw wins the Veto....Over to you, Christie, if you dare

Christie knows all eyes are trained on her now, as they wonder if she will use her power. Tommy is confident that she will. Time for another little freak out from Christie, as she doesn't know what to do now. She says Cliff will be mad if she uses it, and makes an enemy of whoever doesn't go home in the eviction if she doesn't. Well you will insist on telling everyone, Christie, got no sympathy whatsoever. If you had kept your mouth shut, you made your bed and now you have to lie in it.

In a discussion with Trapjaw, he tells her the blood will be on his hands, and that the target is Bella. He admits he wants Bella gone, and tries to sway Christie into giving the power to him should she use it. Inside, Christie is getting really mad and says to us she thinks Trapjaw is being selfish, and is trying to run the alliance himself. Think those cracks are starting to get a little bigger.

One last attempt from Christie to Cliff now, and tells him Trapjaw is pushing her to use this power she has. Cliff is slowly getting backed into a corner here as he says he could be public enemy number one next week should Shit Shooters get HoH. He knows full well Aquaman and Trapjaw could have run of the place. To this end Christie suggests if he backdoors Bella, she will use her power in the next two weeks to benefit Cliff. Christie says for the next two weeks, Cliff won't be the target. Yeah, whatever. Finally she says if Cliff lets her keep her power, then they will be good. Cliff foolishly agrees to this. He then tells us that he still wants Jack out of the house, and wants to put up another Shit Shooter regardless, but if he honours this deal it could be a good move for his long term game.

Veto ceremony

Unsurprisingly, Trapjaw uses the Veto on himself, but of course there could be another twist here if Christie uses her power. But she doesn't, and Cliff chooses BELLA as the replacement nominee.....Errrrrr, what? Is he serious?

Big dummy, played right into Christie's hands there and made sure now it's going to be a steam roll for Shit Shooters. Well done Cliff, you've just doomed everybody.

Cliff says he could have made a huge move, and for me he should have, in putting Christie on the block. He says he would have broken a promise, and with his family watching couldn't break his word. Feeble excuse, pal, just admit you were played by Christie. As soon as Shit Shooters are back in power, you are out of there.

Bella can't understand why Jack is so loved in there. Well, let's just say he's not exactly flavour of the series out here with anyone. Nick is absolutely baffled and wonders why Cliff would put up someone who has his back, and now Shit Shooters will come after him. Naturally Trapjaw and Christie are happy with their handiwork, and says the work to save Aquaman starts now.

To be continued in Episode 14, when Bella or Aquaman take the walk of shame. Although this does seem like the start of a Shit Shooter steam roll all the way to final 6 now. Who's going to stop them now, it all hinges on the next HoH which I believe is endurance, so all hopes now on you, Nicole.

Anyways, thanks for reading as this uncomfortable season continues onward, and please keep the RT's, likes, shares and comments coming in

PS - A little something for the road to sum up this season so far

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 12 - HoH and Nominations

Another fresh week is upon us, and it's time for another HoH competition and nominations episode

When last we left the house of horrors:

Outgoing HoH - Nick

Evicted - Ovi, Kemi and David

Battle Back winner - Cliff

Secret powers still in the game - 2

We pick up the action after Cliff's return, and already Tommy is wondering how Cliff managed it. The look on some of their faces is an absolute picture, as they were so certain Cliff wasn't coming back. Could we see some shift of power to the outsiders, we'll have to wait and see. One in the eye for those h8ful/unden9able scumbags.

Nick is taking it the worst as you might expect, as he and his moll Bella were so supremely confident above everyone else that Nicole was going to Camp Comeback. Trouble in paradise for the splinter Shit Shooters, and the rest who are not outside.

Kat, who is fast becoming another one of my favourites, is crying her eyes out over David not getting back in. She tells Jess and Cliff how she had got to know David over the last few days, and is missing him more than she realises

Nick and Jack are having it out about the blindside, and then in come Christie and Tommy. Christie says to Nick, that they tried to tell him. They try to butter him up saying how important it is to smooth things over and Bella tries to take revenge if she wins HoH by putting them on the block.

In the pantry, Trapjaw Jackson tells the ever so adorable Nicole about who flipped the vote and she owes them so much. Trapjaw then says either you are with us or against us. He then tells us he is making it clear who saved her, and especially after what went down with Nick and Bella.

7 of the 9 scumbags in Analyse, Bella, Aquaman, Tommy, Nick, Christie and Sam are arguing amongst themselves in the lounge, and Bella is having a bit of a tantrum because things didn't go HER way in the eviction. She claims people are trying to kick her down, which is a bit rich of her given the way she has been treating Nicole these last few days. Oh her mum must be so proud of the way she is acting, I don't think.

Trapjaw and his latest squeeze, Holly, are talking to Cliff about being back in the house. Cliff remembers how Trapjaw banished him in that first twist of the season when he was Camp Director. Make him sweat, Cliff.

Back to pistols drawn amongst the scumbags and those little cracks are getting a lot closer to becoming gaping holes. Nick says he has lost trust in some of the scumbags, and is getting paranoid he will see his face appear on the nominations board if one of the scumbags win HoH. Aquaman says that's not the case, but Nick asks him how would he feel. In walks Trapjaw and says this wasn't planned. Bella is blowing off more steam to us, while she tells the scumbags she feels the alliance doesn't exist, and not to treat her like a 5 year old. Which is exactly the way she is acting right now, if I'm being honest.

Aquaman's temperature is rising as he points out everything Bella says is lies. He reckons she has told lies to see what she can use to get him on the block and he's through. The outsiders are listening to this implosion, to which Cliff says one of the outsiders needs to win HoH to make the cracks bigger.

HoH competition

As outgoing HoH, Nick is not eligible to play. This comp is called Picture Perfect, and it's an observation game. What they have to do is look closely at the board in each round and answer each question correctly about which patch the question is referring to. If two people answer incorrectly, they are out, also if everyone answers correctly then the last two to answer will be eliminated.

All to play for and off we go.....

1. Nicole and Holly eliminated

2. Kat and Bella eliminated

3. Jessica and Analyse eliminated

4. Trapjaw and Sam eliminated

5. Tommy and Christie eliminated

6. Jack eliminated

Winner and astonishingly, CLIFF is the new HoH and I make that the first HoH won for the outsiders this season. He has already decided there are a certain six people, and he's going to watch them closely to decide who isn't good for his game. He's got the ball, now let's see if he runs with it and runs with it really well.

Bella and Nick are feeling VERY confident they will not be going home, and are certain one of their new rivals in Shit Shooters will be out the door. Cliff assures Nicole she is safe, but as a precaution need to keep their distance

Trapjaw suggests to Holly that they need to get Cliff to put up Nick and Bella and make Cliff think it was his own idea. Let us not forget Christie has that power, which is to turn the Veto into a Diamond Veto. That means, she gets to give this power to whoever wins the Veto and they can pick whoever replaces them and not the HoH. After some pitching with Christie, she agrees to this plan.

Back with Cliff, and he says he will not be intimidated into making decisions, and that he has noticed the widening gap between Bella/Nick and the Shit Shooters. All the while, Jessica is in there with them, not that she has a clue about any of this. Cliff says he may not be able to trust any of them, but they have to be strong, and he has to target the power couples.

Trapjaw starts his plan to get Nick and Bella on the block via Cliff. He suggests going up as a pawn, and brings up the idea that it is a smokescreen to make certain people think it's revenge for banishment. Bella's name is thrown into the mix for nominations. Trapjaw says his main plan is to keep the Shit Shooters safe.

In a brainless move, Cliff is brought into the loop about Christie's power and Christie tells him to come up with a way to utilise it. Cliff is somewhat bewildered, and says he has to rethink who he's going to nominate.

A somewhat disgusting segment now where Trapjaw is eating a whole cucumber and then says he is going to wash it, and he heads to the toilet where we hear a flush, he emerges and washes his hands and takes a few more nibbles of the cucumber before handing it to Aquaman.

Bella and Cliff now having a conversation, and he tells her he feels she has been thrown under the bus. He says he doesn't trust Bella, but needs all the numbers he can get, and also noticed the break between her and Nick. Bella tells him if she had won, she would have put up some big names. Cliff pitches how he wants him, her and Nick to work together down the line.

Cue the grovelling now from the Shit Shooters, as they all give their pitches on not going on the block. Cliff tells us there are some people getting too cocky and comfortable, and some new faces will be going on the block.

Nomination ceremony

Straight down to business and Cliff has decided to nominate AQUAMAN and TRAPJAW. Cliff says Aquaman is a comp beast and a big threat, and as for Trapjaw think of it as some small revenge for banishing Cliff on day one.

Trouble is now the 2 remaining powers are in Shit Shooter hands, as in Aquaman and his Chaos power which will result in a Veto redraw in terms of players, and of course Christie's power.

Christie is surprised at how this week has gone so far, and is unsure yet on whether to use her power this week.

To be continued in Episode 13, when the Veto is up for grabs and we see if one or both of the remaining powers are used this week.

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 11 - Eviction and Battle Back

Outgoing HoH - Nick

Veto winner - Kat

Kat used the Veto on Jessica, and Cliff was nominated in her place

All secret powers are still in the game, but Ovi's is suspended due to him being in Camp Comeback, but it will be reactivated if he gets back in through the Battle Back comp tonight between him, David, Kemi and whoever is the 4th houseguest

Chaos Power - Jack. He has the power to force a redraw of Veto players, should he be unhappy with who got drawn to play.

Panic Power - Christie. Her power can change a golden Veto into a Diamond one. In simple form she has to inform Diary Room before Veto, and then a bugle will sound and the Veto winner can pick the replacement, should they choose to use the Veto first

Another week over, but before we move into the next there is the small matter of sending one more person to Camp Comeback. No HoH comp in this episode, so that will be covered in the next post.

And we begin with a potential blindside being teased, as in it's not so cut and dry that Nicole will be in Camp Comeback as Nick and Bella planned. Very pleased with that, Nicole deserves her place in there. She is just so adorable, and worth many more than those 8 or 9 scumbags making the house so unpleasant.

Nicole is reluctant to campaign against Cliff, as she doesn't want to take anything away from anyone. Unfortunately she feels she doesn't belong in the house, and given the way she's been treated who can blame her. She feels she has most of the outsiders behind her, but three of them have to go which is a shame as I would take them over unde9able any day of the week.

Nick has told Cliff he is safe for this week, and like Nicole he doesn't want to campaign. Christie tells Nick and Bella it was her hormones that caused her to freak out. Nick tells her he is hurt that she thought she was going to be the backdoor plan. Christie somewhat foolishly decides to then tell Nick and Bella about previously mentioned Panic Power. Nick feels that could be useful to stop him getting backdoored.

Trapjaw Jackson then confesses to Aquaman, Tommy, Christie, Holly, and Analyse that he doesn't trust Nick. Jack then suggests a name for the six in the room, as they claim they are the strongest. Don't think strongest is the word I would use for some of these not rights. Step forward Six Shooters, or as I will refer to them S**t Shooters. Guess that means Nick and Bella are fired from this alliance then.

Still with Christie, and she is suggesting to Holly and Analyse that Nicole may not be the biggest threat, but Cliff is. It starts to dawn on Christie, Bella is the true liar to which Holly suggests that she doesn't think Nicole would go after the S**t Shooters.

Seems the word is getting around to keep Nicole in there for now, as Christie has now gone to Aquaman and Tommy. Tommy is slowly coming around to getting rid of Cliff, as getting rid of Nicole would only play into the hands of Nick and Bella. Christie admits she is NOT voting to get Nicole out. 

Meanwhile in Camp Comeback, David tells us how much he wants to get back into the house, and how difficult this social game is, but has to build relationships. He claims to have built a few, even though he doesn't trust them. He particularly wants to build a relationship with Trapjaw as he is coming after him if he gets back in.

Now with Ovi, and he tells us they know what it's like to be different in real life, and wants to get back in there and make a difference. In the HoH room, he runs into none other than Aquaman, who is basically telling him to push off out of there after using the HoH restroom. Over to Ovi and Cliff playing pool, and we find out Ovi has Cliff's back and wants both of them to take over the house together.

Another uncomfortable scene with Aquaman as we see him having a go at her for putting her shaker bottle in the fridge or freezer. He then has the audacity to say if they all did it then the fridge will be full, and then goes on to ask her what makes her so special. He then says they all sacrifice not putting their bottles in the fridge, and wanted to tell her to get it off his chest. He then has the nerve to say that he didn't want it to sound derogatory, while punching the counter.

We then get some final speeches from the first three in Camp Comeback, before we go back to Julie for a break

Eviction

As it's even numbers, Nick will NOT be casting a vote and Nicole and Cliff are not allowed to vote along with Ovi, David and Kemi.

Analyse votes to evict Cliff

Bella votes to evict Nicole

Aquaman votes to evict Cliff

Sam votes to evict Nicole

Jessica votes to evict Nicole

Kat votes to evict Nicole....It should be noted Kat claimed to know what is going on

Christie votes to evict Cliff

Holly votes to evict Cliff

Trapjaw votes to evict Cliff

Tommy votes to evict Cliff

Cliff becomes the 4th and final member of Camp Comeback, and Nick is absolutely fuming at this result.

Battle Back

This comp is called Path of Redemption. Cliff, Kemi, Ovi and David will be participating as the 4 members of Camp Comeback. The object is roll balls down their respective ramps which are shaped like snakes. They can only roll one ball at a time, and have to get them to fall into the tube at the end of their ramps. First to six wins, or whoever has most after 3 minutes wins. Whoever wins, they are back in the game, while the other three's games are over for good.

Needless to say, Cliff absolutely races through this potting his six balls into the tube well inside three minutes, and is therefore back in the game. Wished it had been David who had gone back in as he had the best eye for the game, but Cliff will do as a consolation prize even if he is not going to last much longer.

David, Kemi and Ovi are now with Julie, and it should be noted David has been crying quite heavily as he wanted to go quite far in this game, but he is happy for Cliff. Talk then turns to the minority being ostracised by those 9 scumbags, and Ovi says sometimes it was game, and sometimes it was personal.

Julie tells the 3 evictees about the S**t Shooters, and how they were 8 with Nick and Bella. David is not surprised at this, and says that Cliff told him that he was going to try and split the power couples. David and Ovi are rooting for Cliff, while Kemi is rooting for Sam. She explains that while she is rooting for Nicole, Sam has the better game.

We end with Julie plugging the week ahead, and closing the show with us seeing Nick none too happy about Nicole still being there.....Trouble in the ranks, it would seem, and it will be elaborated on in the next episode I hope.

To be continued in episode 12, when we find out who gets the HoH power and who they will nominate

Satisfactory episode, although it was uncomfortable at the end seeing the minority sitting there with Julie. Aquaman was allowed to continue his reign of terror against them, as he knows he is not going to get punished for it which really sucks. Hopefully one of the outsiders will get HoH this week, and make a dent in S**t Shooters as people are deserting in their droves.

Hope Kat stays in for a while, as she is one of the few left in there who can cause some unintentional comedy. A bright light in the gloomy house one would say.

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 10 - Power of Veto

H8ful rule the roost with 2 out of 3 of the secret powers, and Nick holds the HoH. Add to the unpleasantness in the house which the TV viewers don't see, which I won't repeat in this post

Current HoH - Nick

Nominated pre Veto - Cliff and Jessica

Nightmare power - Ovi*

Chaos power - He who looks like Aquaman

Panic power - Christie

* - currently suspended due to Ovi being in Camp Comeback but can be re-activated if Ovi makes it back into the house after the next eviction

It should noted for this episode, the voiceover is now starting to say h8ful as well, so something is being cooked up to see those scumbags in their real light....Let's wait and see

It's the moments after Nick has made his nominations, and Jessica tells us she feels at the bottom of a totem pole, but is determined to win Veto and start her way back up. Cliff claims he has a few more tricks up his sleeve, while Nicole is still wary as she could find her way onto the block should the Veto be used.

H8ful start to gather in the HoH room with Nick and Bella first in followed by Tommy. Bella's big mouth strikes again, as she continues to stir the pot for her own benefit. She tells Tommy about the plan to put her and Nick on the block, and then David walks by and is told not to go in. By now Trapjaw Jackson makes his way in, and Bella continues to run her mouth. This time that Nicole said that Analyse and Trapjaw said that Bella and Nick were bullying her, enraging Analyse. Flashback of Analyse telling Nicole who was with Kat that Bella is a bully. Hard to write this, but Bella is absolutely loving this.

Cliff tries to get in the HoH room next, and Nick refuses him entry. Nicole, meanwhile, is getting some water and when Cliff tells her about what's going on upstairs, she makes her way up there. But she is also refused entry, while he who looks like Aquaman is let in. Analyse is really getting mad by now. Bella continues to stir that Nicole was the rogue vote. Back downstairs, Nicole is telling Kemi and Jessica about the raised voices from the HoH room.

Ovi now makes his way to the HoH room, and for lack of a better term is told to go away. Ovi takes it to heart, and Bella, who else, says it's none of his business. Cliff tells Ovi not to let h8ful get under his skin.

Back to Nick, and he has said that if he can name a replacement nominee he knows exactly who is in the frame. Christie says she does not like nasty, when the 8 become 9 and Nick suggested Nasty 9. So what was all that just about with the outsiders, THAT was nasty and Christie is saying she doesn't like nasty? They are eventually rechristened unde9able, and Kat is then refused entry into the HoH room, by the now 9 scumbags.

David now confronts Aquaman and Christie about the Ovi incident, which Christie denies. This 9 are really something else. She goes on to say they were talking game and he went up there at a bad time. Feeble excuse. Jack then gets in David's face saying David hasn't been there long but he is doing perfect. Christie says Ovi shouldn't have said anything, and she walks out the moment Ovi walks in the room. Aquaman grins when Ovi asks if everything is alright, and says while Ovi is in Camp Comeback Aquaman can't touch him. Ovi tells us Jack is really disrespectful to the game, and thinks he can intimidate people. Enter Nicole and Aquaman tips her off about hearing about this conversation.

Now back to Nicole and Bella, and Nicole is not making much headway as Bella keeps interrupting, and eventually Bella accuses Nicole of being a liar with the bully accusation when most of us know it's actually true. Nicole heads off to bed, and who can blame her as this is totally out of order from Bella.

Tommy, meanwhile, begins to think the accusation is true after seeing Bella bulldoze Nicole, and tells Nicole to relax and breathe.

Nicole is now crying her eyes out at Bella's pathetic behaviour. Nicole says she would never attack anyone on a personal level, and wonders how Bella could sleep at night with the way she is playing this game.

Oh no, here we go again in the camper van with Nicole and Bella, and Bella yet again having a go at Nicole, and nearly square up before Nick walks in, and he also starts to have a go at Nicole asking when he bullied Nicole, and then accuses her of playing both sides and got caught in a lot of lies.

Nicole taking this really badly and is really hurt that they are not listening or believing her. Nicole then comes out and says straight out Bella is the one playing both sides ending up in Nick saying it's a good strategy and leaves the camper, and Tommy hugs Nicole.

Veto picks and competition

Nicole tells us she needs to play to avoid going on the block as the replacement should the Veto be used.

Joining Nick, Cliff and Jessica in the competition will be Trapjaw, Kat and Christie.

Straight into the competition we go, and who should be there but fruitloop Kaitlyn from last year and she basically retells the story of how she was unable to complete an easy puzzle and calls this comp her Nightmare.

She says the players have to find the 17 coloured pieces hidden in the forest set and put her back together. First player to do so will win the Veto. No penalties or bonus prizes in this one

And by some good fortune a little while later, KAT wins the Veto, and hurrah some more power for the outsiders at last.

We are then shown Christie having a major meltdown and paranoia attack as she is terrified she will be the backdoor option. Quite unbelievable freak out if you actually saw it.

Kat hints she will take Jessica off the block, but after seeing Christie's meltdown things could change. Her game comes first though, and she has to do what is best for it.

Veto ceremony

For the final time, the people in Camp Comeback are not allowed to be in the same room and they are watching from a monitor.

Kat has decided to use the Veto on Jessica after all, and now it's down to Nick to pick a replacement and to no surprise he has opted for NICOLE.

This had made Bella very happy, and she says Nicole had it coming. Can't wait to see Bella's reaction when she's on the block. Her downfall is going to be delicious when it happens.

In fact,here's a secret, on today's live feeds there may just be a flip and Cliff could be the 4th and final member of Camp Comeback. Watch this space in the next post.....

Think I may stop there, as that was a very uncomfortable first part of the episode watching those 9 scumbags throw their weight around and basically behave like morons in regards to the outsiders. You know the old saying, what goes around comes around and let's hope it comes in spades for the 9 scumbags.

Until next time, stay frosty and keep on rocking and god bless those Outsiders, let's hope things start looking up for them soon

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 9 - Nominations and final Whacktivity

H8ful continue to rule the roost as Nick won HoH, and also Kemi was banished to Camp Comeback and joined David as we head into a fresh week

Ovi has the Nightmare Power, but this particular power is currently suspended pending on whether Ovi gets back in or not, and he who looks like Aquaman has the Chaos Power. One more power up for grabs as the last few houseguests who haven't played Whacktivity yet, get to play for the Panic power which will be explained in more detail as we get further into the episode.

We pick up the action after Nick has won HoH, and no doubt H8ful will be very happy. Have to say it is depressing to see one alliance completely dominate, but this is all levels of uncomfortable given the toxic atmosphere in there and production doing nothing about it.

Bella is wondering why Kemi called her out. Let's see, someone who is trying to play both sides and is a complete snitch with the loyalty of a jackal. Need we say anymore. Jessica is relieved she is still there, but is wary she may go on the block again with Nick in charge. I hope not, not another one of those long winded speeches from her again, please.

Now we move onto the matter of the hinky vote, pipes and deerstalkers everyone. We know who did it, but it's going to be fun to watch them scramble. Cliff asks Nicole straight out, to which Nicole denies she is the hinky vote. You leave that adorable young lady alone, Cliff. Nicole is worried people may try to pin it on her anyway, anything for an excuse to put her on the block.

Nicole then discusses the matter with Trapjaw Jackson. Although he wants to pin it on Nick and Bella, he has to be careful so it doesn't get traced back to him, especially with Nick as HoH this week. Trapjaw then goes to Nick, and outright blames it on Nicole, which plants the seed with Nick to make him consider putting Nicole on the block as he was considering Cliff and Jessica. Bella is still stewing about Kemi calling her out in the eviction speech, and says she will not forgive Kemi. Oh I'm sure Kemi will be heartbroken, snake lady.

Bit of a scuffle ensues when Kemi and Bella discuss said matter, which results in them pushing each other causing Sam to restrain Bella.

Trapjaw then admits to Aquaman that he placed the hinky vote, to a big smile from Jack. They make a pledge not to tell Christie,

Back with Nicole, and now she is talking to Holly and Trapjaw. She is still stunned at the hinky vote, and Trapjaw tells us it would suck tp pin that vote on Nicole, but if it keeps his butt out of the nomination seats the better.

Speaking of Nicole, Nick is now not certain about Nicole being the rogue vote. Trapjaw says Nicole is way too nervous and sketchy. After this short conversation, Nick and Bella are left on their own and start to think Trapjaw himself cast the rogue vote, leading to Nick telling us Trapjaw is acting really paranoid as he keeps bring up Nicole's name, and changes his mind about putting Nicole up. He then tells Nicole this, and they agree that someone has done this to pin it on her. He has a fair idea, but no proof yet and doesn't tell Nicole who he thinks it was.

Whacktivity Comp

Time for the final Whacktivity comp, and it will be Nick, Analyse, Jessica and Christie competing. In this comp, a message has to be deciphered. But they are not alone in this comp as they will be joined by a load of hissing cockroaches, and the players will have to use tiles to spell out the message which is DON'T MEET JULIE ON EVICTION NIGHT. If they are correct, their time will be locked in, incorrect they have to try again. Note, there are no penalties like gunge or slop for last place and such in this one.

Once they are all done, only the winners green light will light up, which in this case turns out to be CHRISTIE with a time of 7:41. Lucky us, more power for h8ful.

Panic Power - Christie has the power to turn a golden Veto into the Diamond Power of Veto. It gives the veto holder the ability to not only use the veto on a nominee, but to also name a nominee of her choice. This power is only valid for the next 4 Veto ceremonies, and can only be used once. She chooses to only tell Tommy about this power......so far. No doubt she will blab it to others in due course

Back to house action, and we see Christie telling Tommy, and in wonders he who looks like Aquaman. He reminds them of Ovi and his own powers. Tommy is very happy about who has the powers

Nicole and Kemi are talking about the dynamics in the house, and Nicole ticks off everyone in h8ful, apart from Christie and Tommy. Kemi then tells Nicole a secret of her own, in that Bella told her Christie overheard Cliff's monologue to the cameras, to which Nicole decides to warn Cliff. He admits he screwed up, and may have screwed up his own game.

Staying with Cliff, and now he is with Nick and Cliff says he would be a pawn if it would help. Cliff says he would love to work with Nick and Bella, and if Nick would count on him.Nick scoffs telling us Cliff as a pawn would be great and he can go.

Some short clips of Kathryn's dizzy moments in the house, have to say she is one of the few bright lights in this season and it would be a shame to lose her.

Nick, Bella and Sam discuss the possibility of being targeted soon. Sam chimes in saying he who looks like Aquaman could be a target soon, but he is so tight with everyone in the house. Don't think tight is the word I would use, looking at the live feeds. He says the pros in putting up a big target is that it has nothing to do with him. Nick then says the line would be drawn in putting someone big up, but not before Camp Comeback is done.

Nicole has some intel for Nick in that Trapjaw told her there is a division in the house, and he wants Nicole's help in targeting Nick and Bella. Conversation turns to Kemi's eviction night speech, and Nicole says Kemi said the things she did as Nick and Bella threw Kemi under the bus to he who looks like Aquaman. Nicole then explains the plan was to put Nick and Bella on the block this week.

Much to ponder all round, really, as we arrive at the nominations ceremony

Nominations ceremony

Straight down to business for Nick as his first nominee is CLIFF, and his second is JESSICA. He says to them it's not personal, and the easiest way was to put people on the block who had already been there and they can play in the Veto.

Nick says he was very tempted to put Aquaman and Trapjaw on the block, but didn't really talk to anyone about that particular plan. Jessica says she will show everyone who's boss when she wins the Veto, and Cliff says he HAS to win or it will be him going home, or in this case be the final member of Camp Comeback. Nicole is relieved she is not on the block for now, but is wary that she could still find her way there if the Veto is used.

To be continued in Episode 10, with the next Power of Veto competition

And there we have it for another episode in this house of horrors, and yet more horror stories coming out of the live feeds which I won't go into on here. Let's just say it's Kemi being targeted again and leave it at that.

Anyways, the latest BB on Blast pod for your listening pleasure right here, and also the latest from Julie Girl right here

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 8 - Eviction and HoH

*SIGH*, and that is a big sigh by the way with the way this series is unfolding on the live feeds. Constant isolation, racism and bullying and the instigators are still being allowed to run roughshod all over the house.

Back to this episode at hand, and we have another banishment to Camp Comeback to deal with + another HoH to be crowned

In case you missed it:

Outgoing HoH - Jack (thank god for that)

Nominations pre Veto - Kemi and Jessica

Sam won the Veto which had a big bonus prize thrown in as in a trip for 2 to Fiji, however he did not use the Veto stating he didn't want to make any ripples

Nominations therefore stay the same in Jessica and Kemi

Nightmare power - Ovi. Although his power is suspended as long as he is in Camp Comeback, if he comes back the power will be automatically reactivated. Mind you that's a big IF at the moment, as he doesn't really stand out with any potential and if it comes down to it, I can't see him getting back in.

The Nightmare power is basically call a snap nominations ceremony where that week's HoH has to pick two to put on the block. This power can only be used once.

Chaos power - Jack. Can't say that guy's name without feeling a bit ill as he is one of the roots of the house trouble. 

The Chaos power is the power to call a redrawing of the Veto picks should HE be unhappy with them. Bit of a weak power, so in a way glad he's got it.

And finally as far as Camp Comeback is concerned David and Ovi cannot participate with Nominations and Veto Ceremonies, they can't vote in an eviction, can't participate in Noms or Veto comps. BUT they can play a social game, and personally David has got more of a handle of house happenings so he would be my preferred choice to get back in.

All that being said, time to get down to business for this episode.....

We pick up the action after the Veto ceremony and Jessica and Kemi start their final pitches to stay in. Cliff, Ovi, Nicole and Kemi are converging. I love that Nicole, she's so adorable. She says Ovi has to come back, to which Cliff agrees and says a new force to be reckoned with. They christen their alliance THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE ZING.

Man the buckets as it's a showmance up next, involving Bella the Snitch and Nick. She says she doesn't want a showmance but a short while later they are seen under the covers, and they try desperately to shoo the cameras away. Meanwhile, he who I dislike mentioning and Analyse are getting jiggy with it under the covers. Is this Big Brother or is it getting more like Love Island.

Cliff and the cameras up next as he talks to us and gives us his daily routine, and then starts talking about the couples in the house, little knowing a member of h8ful is listening outside the door as in Christie, and she promptly goes to find HIM, Jackson and Holly. In case you missed it, Jackson and Holly are teasing a showmance as well.

Back to Nicole and Kemi and now they are talking about the aborted alliance of The Black Widows, and Nicole reveals to Kemi that Bella is a snitch. Kemi takes the info to Trapjaw Jackson, and also about a supposed final 3 Bella had made with Trapjaw and he who I don't like mentioning. Trapjaw is surprised, as it's news to him about Bella's final 3 plan.

Trapjaw thought this week would be a nice cruise, but now he has some new info to work with. He tells Kemi that he would probably save Jessica.

And off he goes to that one who will not be mentioned right now, and tells him Bella is trying to play both sides of the house and also of Bella's false final 3 plan. You know who wonders if Kemi can be trusted, and then Trapjaw reveals the intel provided by Christie, which sees a target form on Cliff.

Bella continues to spin her little web, now with Sam, claiming him to be the 9th member of h8ful. This is news to Sam who isn't even in this alliance, and it does make him think keeping Kemi in. He then decides to do a little tour checking with everyone, as apparently everything has to be run through he who must not be named. In his conversation with said person, you know thinks Kemi is dangerous

Bella, Bella, Bella....I cannot wait to see you get tangled in this web you are weaving, and indeed your little face when you don't make it to jury.

Eviction vote

Jessica goes into a VERY long plea about why she should stay, most people have zoned out by the time she has finished. Kemi is more subdued in her approach, and calls out Nick and Bella for playing both sides, and wants one of them to join her in Camp Comeback next week.

Usual eviction rules, and a reminder that along with Kemi and Jessica, David and Ovi are NOT allowed to vote.

Cliff votes to evict Kemi

Kathryn votes to evict Kemi

Nicole votes to evict Kemi

Bella votes to evict Kemi

Nick votes to evict Kemi

Back from the break:

Sam votes to evict Kemi

Analyse votes to evict Kemi

In a surprising hinky vote, Trapjaw votes to evict Jessica

Holly votes to evict Kemi

Christie votes to evict Kemi

Tommy votes to evict Kemi

3rd Camp Comeback member is KEMI, by a vote of 10-1

Will be interesting to see if Jackson is discovered to have cast the hinky vote, and if so why he cast it

HoH competition

Ineligible to play: He who won't be named (Outgoing HoH) and Kemi, David and Ovi are in Camp Comeback and will watch from a monitor.

This competition is called Power Shot, and here is how it works. Each participating houseguest will underarm throw a stick arrow at a target. If it land halfway between two scores then the score where the majority of the arrow tip lands will be awarded. There are also two bonus shots on the target should any of the houseguests choose not to be HoH, one is for immunity and the other is for a cash prize of $5,000. Both the bonus targets can only be hit once, as in once it's been won then it's out of the game. No points if the arrow lands outside of the board.

Scores:

Analyse - 50

Jessica - 5

Christie - 65

Nick - 90

Sam - 70

Jackson - 70

Tommy - 35

Cliff - 15

Bella - 75

Kathryn - 0

Nicole - 15

Holly - 0

Julie checks in and has brief conversations with Jessica and Nick, and congratulates him on winning HoH. She also talks to Tommy and Cliff before announcing what is coming up and also that a classic BB power will be coming back for the last Whacktivity comp. What it will be is anyone's guess

I just hope the toxic air in that house clears up soon though, as it's very uncomfortable in there. Will be interesting to see who Nick will put up on the block.....

All will be revealed in Episode 9, when we find out all the answers to who he will nominate and what this classic power is

Be sure to listen to BB on Blast's latest pod right here, and also Rob has a Podcast which is on air every day, and their link is to the right >>>>>>>

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 7 - Power of Veto

And so we carry on with Douchebag Jack's reign of terror

So far he himself has won the Chaos Whacktivity, which basically means he has the secret power to activate a retake of the Veto player draw should he be unhappy with it. Like with most of the powers in this show, it's a one time only use.

He nominated Jessica and Kemi solely on the reason they would be after him. Who wouldn't be, given what a *bleep* foul mouthed horrible person you've been behind peoples backs. There are stronger words, but they will not be used.

David could be one to keep an eye on as he seems very sharp on house happenings, fingers crossed he goes back in.

Another former houseguest comes through the door in this episode, as in Tyler from last year, and he will be hosting the Veto comp. 

We pick up this episode's action straight after nominations, and now the ultimate douchebag is saying he nominated who he did because they aren't part of H8ful (I know it's called Gr8ful, but given the circumstances....) and HE needs to get rid of that side of the house.

Bella confesses to Nicole that she snitched on the new alliance to Jack, which somewhat puzzles Nicole. Bella certainly can't keep her mouth shut, and I personally can't wait until this all catches up with her and she gets caught up in her little web.

In a conversation with Kemi, Jack admits he is scared of her. He tells us that Kemi is indeed his target, but didn't want to blindside her in case she went to Camp Comeback, and only has herself to blame if she doesn't win Veto.

Nicole swears blind to Jessica it wasn't her who snitched, and points her in the direction of Bella. Nicole warns Jessica to keep her cool. Needlessly to say Jessica is fuming, and tells us she thinks Bella is a snake. She is determined to win this Veto to not give Bella the satisfaction.

David says he has this place figured out, and I am inclined to believe him. He is onto the h8ful alliance, and namedrops Jack, Jackson, Holly, Christie, Tommy, Bella and Nick amongst others. This guy is sharp, will be fun to see what he can do to dismantle this lot if he manages to get his houseguest status back.

The houseguests have a surprise visitor now, and it's Mother Nature with a strong earthquake that sends them all running for cover.

Shortly afterwards, David and Ovi are given their official Camp Comeback uniforms, oh boy do they look stupid in a funny sort of way, naturally. 

Jessica is now talking to Jackson about Jack calling her new alliance out, and he tells her to be strong. He tells her he doesn't want her to go, but the live feeders know that is a bunch of bull. He then tells her he is looking out for her, but can't take her off the block without a Veto. Jackson says he likes to think of Jessica as his mom in the house and doesn't want to cross any lines with Jack. Think that bridge has been crossed already, pal.

Veto picks

Reminder, Jack has the Chaos Power should he choose to use it for a Veto draw. Jack as HoH, and Jessica and Kemi as the nominees play automatically

Jack draws Bella, Jessica pulls out the Houseguests choice token and she picks Jackson, which does surprise Nicole as she assumed she would be picked, and finally Kemi draws Sam.

David tells Ovi, Jessica picking Jackson was a bad move, and questions why Jessica made that choice.

Veto competition

Ding dong, and in walks Tyler from last year's show. Analyse goes absolutely nuts, as she LOVES Tyler. This competition is called Froggy Style and here is how it works. In the backyard, a makeshift lake has been built and Tyler explains that poisonous frogs have taken over this lake. Each player has an aqua clock, and stack on their respective platform, however they can only stack frogs while there is water in their aqua clock. If their water runs out, they are out of the competition. The player who stacks most frogs after 30 minutes wins, and there is a bonus prize as explained in the previous post that the winner not only wins Veto, but also a trip for 2 to Fiji.

Top 3:

Sam - 18

Jessica - 13

Kemi - 4

Sam wins another Veto, and also the trip for 2 to Fiji

Now for some unfortunate news, in which Sam finds out his grandfather has passed away to which most of them gather and hug him when he tells them the bad news. 

Veto ceremony

Reminder, David and Ovi have to watch from Camp Comeback and can't participate.

Sam has decided NOT to use the Power of Veto, stating he doesn't want to cause ripples in the house and wants to keep nominations the same.

Jack is feeling mighty proud about his HoH reign of terror, saying everything is going as planned. Jessica says she is going to keep campaigning right up to voting time. Kemi, meanwhile, says she will NOT wear the Camp Comeback outfit as that's not her style.

To be continued in Episode 8, and we will find out if Kemi or Jessica will join Camp Comeback. For all intents and purposes it probably will be Kemi. 

Hopefully someone outside of the h8ful alliance will win the next HoH, and immediately put Jack on the block where he belongs. This h8ful alliance need to be broken up pronto.
