4 become 3, as we hurtle towards the big finale
When last we left proceedings, Jackson had won Veto and it didn't really take a genius to work out he was going to use it on himself and put Cliff up
The same Cliff who has effectively harpooned his own game as well as Nicole's, as there is no way Jackson will jettison his one and only storyline.
Jackson is hellbent on winning this show, which is causing major ripples everywhere as many feel he will be rewarded given the way he and h8ful/unde9able conducted themselves throughout the early stages of this season. Then there was the small matter of cheating when he was a Have Not, eating away whenever he wanted when he was supposed to be on slop as a Have Not should be.
Points in themselves to why he should NOT even be near this finale, but unfortunately the divine intervention has spoken, and there he is. There are other points around, but it would take forever to list them.
Anyways, there is an episode to write about and yes there will be an extended jury segment, so deep breaths and off we go, although it does seem somewhat of a formality.
We pick up from where Jackson won the Veto, and already Nicole knows what is going to happen as do we all. Cliff is just too stupid to see it, as he thinks Jackson will stick to their final 2 deal. Taking Tommy out looks more certain like being the wrong move, thanks a lot Cliff. If you'd let Nicole go with her gut, then maybe you would be in final 3 and Jackson and Holly would have been gone by now.
Back to the show, and Nicole hopes Jackson will send Holly to jury, but we know that won't happen. A point Jackson gladly makes as he says 'how dare we consider getting rid of Holly'. Can't have that can we *sigh*
A heated exchange between Jackson and Nicole ensues, as he tells her his word and handshake are rock solid until it is not reciprocated. She tells him not to blow smoke up her butt and use last week for an excuse for this week. Jackson says Nicole isn't a fourth wheel to a tricycle, and Nicole says she's more like a third wheel on a bicycle. She says out loud she was seriously considering keeping Tommy, and Jackson tells her this isn't the game they wanted to play, more like forced to play
Nicole says she now sees the game they set up, and Jackson claims this wasn't a master plan. He then tells her she could easily win two parts of HoH, and she admits her gut was right and not Cliff's. Tommy should have stayed. Jackson tries to tell her to keep the plan to herself, and from out of nowhere she says he knows what he can go do with himself.
In the HoH room, Cliff has an inkling he has been played and Nicole confirms it and also that Jackson and Holly wanted to keep it from him. Too little too late now, Cliff, this is firmly on you why this is going the way it is right now.
Nicole then recites the conversation with Jackson, and Cliff says he himself came to win and nothing else will do. He then claims he is going to fight until they drag him out of that place. Futile I would say, as nothing is going to change Jackson's mind.
Jury house segment
If we must, we must....
Rewind back to three weeks ago, and it's Analyse making her way into the jury house, and she claims her and Jack have gotten closer. Does she seriously believe he will stick around on the outside, moving swiftly on.
Nick then makes his entrance, much to the surprise of the equally adorable Kat. Really nice to see her again. Some choice words from Nick about Tommy, saying he is a snake and feels betrayed.
Fast forward one week, and here comes Jessica. She says she feels she has a little bit of power as in having a say who wins. Can just see her doing a a Topaz from BB Canada and voting for the wrong person.
In case you missed it, Topaz was going to vote for Gary to win Big Brother Canada and she looked away from her wallet for a few seconds and it turns out she took out Gillian's key, effectively handing the victory to Gillian.
Anyways back to action, and Jessica shows the jurors so far Jackson's win on the HoH comp, and her own OTT fall off said wall. Kat says she doesn't want to reward Jackson's dirty game, and there is more to winning this show than winning comps. Nick pipes up and says he could have put up Tommy and Christie. Lot of griping from a few of them about not getting Cliff out.
Oh Kat, so adorable but your taste in men leaves a lot to be desired as a jurymance as she calls it, is teased. Nick is the other half of this jurymance, but he denies everything for now.
Christie is next in, and boy is she still bitter about going. Still going on and on about how she thought she was going to win. The bad blood between her and Nick is still there by the way as we will soon find out.
Christie brings along the video of Nicole winning her first comp, and she is flabbergasted at Nick and Kat possibly being an item. Analyse says she would respect Nicole more if she won more comps. No need for that, Analyse. Christie admits she was surprised as her and Tommy, and Nicole and Cliff were plotting to get Jackson out. Jessica says Nicole may have had a specific strategy after all, and not idly floating by.
Ding ding, here we go for another round of Christie v Nick. Again about her blowing up Nick's game, saying it was her only way to stay. Next up we see Cliff winning the Veto which eliminated Christie, and her mistake at the end when she flipped her answer at the last second. Tommy is predicted to arrive at the jury house next. Christie then feels it was a wrong move getting her out, and the shot should have gone Jackson's way.
And right on cue here comes Tommy, and yes him and Christie tell everyone their big secret. Tommy then shows Jackson winning another comp, and Nick claims Jackson is one of the best players ever. He would say that wouldn't he. Nicole is then shown winning her 2nd comp, and Jessica thinks Nicole will win due to being a gamer, and Jack claims she manipulated everyone very well.
Tommy tells them about his pitch to Cliff and Nicole, and Nick says he can't believe they believed Jackson. Analyse says Jackson is playing a good game, if a little dirty. Nick then says any one of the four left could win and is voting for the best player of the game
Back to the house we go, and it's looking increasingly bleak for Cliff. Now restorting to blackmail saying he could destroy Jackson's game as Jackson could destroy his.
Cliff says he was going to honour his word, and Jackson went right back on his word when he won safety. He asks Jackson if he had considered jury votes, and says he will vote for Nicole if it is Jackson v Nicole in final 2. If it the showmance in final 2, Cliff's vote will go elsewhere as she honoured an agreement and Jackson didn't. Of course Jackson scoffs at all this behind Cliff's back.
Veto ceremony and eviction
And to no surprise at all, Jackson uses the veto on himself, and Cliff is named as the only possible replacement.
After the usual shoutouts, it's down to Jackson as Veto holder to have the sole vote to evict and again to no surprise, he evicts CLIFF
In his interview with Julie, he admits he placed too much faith in Jackson to falter. He then talks about the hard decision he and Nicole faced, and tells her he was scared of Tommy, especially when it came to mental comps, and thought Tommy would take Nicole over him.
He goes on to say he was playing for first, and it took a hell of a long time to decide on Tommy or Holly. Julie then asks him if he got ahead of himself when he revealed to Jackson that it wasn't the real final 2 plan, to which Cliff says he didn't want to break his word, and that Jackson was always truthful with him and that he got played in the end.
He is then asked if he would have trusted Jackson and Holly moving forward if the tables were turned. Cliff says the Final 4 was agreed weeks ago, and it wasn't seen as a solid agreement.
And there we have it for the penultimate week, and now we move into the final 2 episodes for this season
Episode 39 - Season recaps, interviews with last year's final 3 of JC, Tyler and winner Kaycee and the first part of the final 3 HoH.
Episode 40 - Part 2, live part 3 and so much more which will be revealed as the episode goes on before we find out if Nicole, Holly or Jackson.
Personally I want Nicole to win, as there is just no room on this show for cheating as Jackson has basically done for most of the season, and definitely no room for what we saw in the early stages of the season with h8ful and then unden9able
Don't think I will be covering ep.39, as most of the season's stuff has been covered through previous posts, and not really interested in last year's not rights.
Probably cover part 1 briefly in the finale post, and go from there so it feels a bit more complete rather than interspersing part 1 with all the other filler....
So there we go, folks, nearly at an end now and a really up and down season if I'm being honest. Just think how different it could have been if Cliff hadn't of screwed up his HoH, some of those jurors would be languishing outside of jury.....If only, eh?
Shoutouts as always for BB on Blast and Julie Girl, and not forgetting of course Rob has a Podcast which will be at the finale interviewing the houseguests, and who knows maybe Julie and some of the backstage people as well.

Until the final time we meet this season, stay frosty and keep on rocking......
PS COME ON NICOLE!!!!!!!!
