Another uncomfortable episode to write up tonight, this time it's not the houseguests but what the Veto competition is all about.
Honestly I am losing heart with this season, as it does look like it's going to be yet another one with a one alliance steam roll, with Nick and Sam who are now broken away from the rest on the block, and the situation is looking incredibly grim for the rest of the house
Just think it's not right how Trapjaw Jackson and Aquaman in particular have been allowed to be as racist, sexist and bigoted as they like, and also with Trapjaw cheating while being a Have Not.... It comes to something when even the fans are drawing up petitions to have one or both removed, or at least be pulled up with some of the stuff they are saying and doing.
Anyways, back to this episode and like I said, it was an uncomfortable Veto competition watching those poor real sheep being charged at and grabbed by the houseguests. More about that later.
We kick off where the nominations ceremony left off, and as expected Trapjaw has completely taken over Holly's HoH, telling her how proud he is of her. She says she is just doing as she is told by her alliance, or in this case by Trapjaw.
Sam and Nick are discussing who they would pick if the houseguest's choice token was drawn, to which they agree Jessica or Cliff. Sam thinks Cliff could be trusted. Yeah right, he couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery given how his HoH week went.
Nicole thinks there is a good chance one of them as in herself, Kat, Jessica or Cliff could go up should Nick or Sam.
Analyse is with Christie, Kat and Holly wondering who will be picked for Veto. Kat raises her hand and volunteers to go on the block. Kat tells us about the final 2 she has agreed with Holly, and wants them to think she's helping that side of the house. Holly says Kat is a genius, and Analyse is also down with this idea. Kat says this could either backfire or work really well and help her game.
Veto picks and competition
And now we get to the uncomfortable part. Holly, Nick and Sam play automatically.
Holly draws Tommy, Sam picks Cliff via the houseguests choice token, and Nick draws Jessica. Aquaman will host the competition.
Basically they will be rounding up sheep that have number jackets on them from 1-9. It will be tournament style, and two houseguests each will face off against each other in straight knockout as in rounding up the sheep who's numbers add up to the total on the screen, and the first to ring the corral bell will advance, while the other houseguest will be eliminated. Last houseguest will win HoH, and a reminder Christie does still have her Chaos power.
Nick v Jessica is the first match up, to which Nick goes through and Jessica is eliminated
Holly v Sam, Holly goes through and Sam is eliminated
Cliff v Tommy, Tommy goes through and Cliff is eliminated
Holly v Nick, Nick is through and Holly is eliminated
Tommy v Nick, Nick is the winner and therefore wins Veto. No indication from Christie about using her power, but there's plenty of time to go in this episode
Poor sheep, having those houseguests charging and grabbing at them. They must have been terrified, not a good idea to put real animals in there. I sincerely hope that is the only time we see live animals on the show.
Holly now saying she's conflicted on who to put up on the block, as Nick is sure to use the Veto on himself.
Christie says to Holly that these things were sent to try us, or words to that effect, and it's natures way of saying Sam is the bigger threat. Analyse says Kat is sketchy, and that she never talks game with anyone. This coming from someone who has practically been non existent in there. Holly then remembers that Kat has volunteered to be the pawn this week, but she is very tempted to put the equally adorable Nicole.
Back to the poison ivy business with Christie and Tommy, and now instead of red blotches, or makeup as it's more commonly known they completely covered with camomile lotion. To say they look stupid would be a massive understatement.
In a conversation between Sam and Holly, Sam says he feels like a dead man walking and wants Holly to put someone on the block who has baggage. He assures Holly he wouldn't go after her, and doesn't have a beef with her. Holly mentions Nicole, claiming she has played both side. No, the person who did that was evicted, or hadn't you noticed.
Sam likes this idea as he could campaign, and Nicole could go and he could work with Trapjaw and Holly. Holly says there are big threats that need to go and she has aligned with them. One of them has been running your HoH, a little something else you haven't noticed. However she doesn't want to take the shots, and if Nicole gets in power (highly unlikely that she ever will) she will take out an alliance member for sure.
Christie seems somewhat confused thinking how Nicole is seen as this big threat. Tommy tells her to do what's best for her game. Tommy then tells Analyse Holly is targetting Nicole, to which Christie thinks they are all being played. Is this girl paranoid or what, and it wouldn't be the first time either. Christie says if Holly and Trapjaw want to break away from Shit Shooters and make a little alliance, then that's perfectly fine
Analyse is wondering why Christie and Tommy are getting so paranoid. They are in an alliance of their own, stupid, or hasn't it dawned on you yet. She then reports to Trapjaw and Holly about her concerns, to which Trapjaw, in his ever so gentlemanly manner, says Christie can go and do one. Surprisingly Holly suddenly says nobody tells her what to do. Seriously? She's made a good job of it so far with her HoH. Trapjaw then storms off to Christie and Tommy, to 'clear the air' as he doesn't like people in his alliance linking him and Holly to Sam and Nick. HIS alliance? Did we just hear that correctly, since when did he become the big boss.
He tells Christie and Tommy, that he wants to make it clear that it's Holly's HoH, and not his and Holly's. Oh so that's why you've been telling her what to do since she's been HoH then. No self awareness at all, another crime on his Big Brother charge sheet.
Trouble in paradise maybe as Holly follows him in shortly afterwards, saying she told him not to confront them which causes Trapjaw to storm back out. Christie then finds out Analyse reported to the now not so happy couple, and will try and smooth things out with her
Speaking of said couple, back to the hammock they go. She brings up about her telling him not to confront Christie and Tommy, and he is such the charmer. Now telling her to stop barking at him like a dog, and she says Analyse is trying to put a wedge between them. If she is, she looks like she is succeeding at the moment, the way they are carrying on.
Staying with Holly, and she tells us she is re-thinking her nominations. Analyse, Nicole and Kat's names are dropped.
Veto ceremony
Nick decides to use the Veto on himself, to no great shock. Christie does not use her Panic power. As seen earlier Kat volunteered to go on the block as a pawn, and indeed Holly chooses her as the replacement nominee. Reason being that Kat does not talk much game and nobody knows where her head is at.
Holly says it's too early to take a shot at Shit Shooters, as Kat is a safe pawn. Sam reckons he is screwed unless he can plant some seeds to get the target off him and onto Kat.
To be continued in episode 17, when Kat or Sam will take the walk to Julie. Will be a pity if we lose Kat, she does provide the unintentional comedy in this house of horrors. Want her to get to at least to jury, at least then she can carry on being funny in the jury house. Absolutely rooting for Kat to stay in.
