Big Brother 21 Day 33
July 21, 2019
11:00-12:00 PM: Sam told Christie that Jack has got to go this week. He explained that this is their only chance since they cannot beat Jack. Christie told Sam that he has got to understand that she will have people gunning for her if she doesn’t use her power. Sam argued that that’s stupid when it’s her power. He asked if there is a chance that she would use it. Christie admitted that she has been thinking about it since she has been hearing that Bella is coming after her. Sam suggested that minority is starting to become the majority, so she would only have three people mad at her if she didn’t use the power as opposed to eight or nine if she did. Christie said that she doesn’t want to be the third person to go down for associating with Bella, plus she cannot work with Nick and Sam while she is still in the house. Sam asked if Bella would not be a bigger target than Christie would ever be. Christie again circled back to saying that Bella is after her. Sam told Christie that Bella would never make that move with Nick and himself in her ear. Sam let Christie know that this is their one opportunity to get Jack out. He added that Analyse, Holly and Jackson will still need someone to work with once he goes, so they will still need Christie.
12:00-1:00 PM: Cliff talked to Nicole about nobody liking Bella. He let her know that he is considering jumping ship on the plan, and letting Bella go this week. Cliff said that he does not want Christie to use her power but he believes that she is going to. They discussed that they would not have the votes to evict Jack unless Kat was on board. Cliff brought up that he could backdoor Bella in exchange for a commitment of protection for the two of them. Cliff reassured Nicole that he would still like to get to the Final 2 with her. Nicole said the same back to Cliff. She told him that she will support whatever decision that he makes.
1:00-2:00 PM: Cliff told Tommy that he will not lie when it comes to saying that he will not put Christie or Tommy on the block if the power is not used. He said he hopes that Jack understands that this was not a personal move against him, and it was a numbers thing. Cliff said that he is now willing to look at other options since he rolled the dice and things did not work out. Jack joined the conversation. Cliff said he is not going to lie and pretend that there was a plan to backdoor Bella all along. Cliff made it clear that he has no love for Bella, so he is willing to cut her loose this week if it will benefit him down the road. Jack told Cliff that he would appreciate that move, and he respects the way that he has handle his HoH reign. Jack pointed out that Bella has been the common denominator in people’s demise. Jack told Cliff that he was never his target, and he is safe with him for weeks to come. Christie then joined them. Cliff asked if he will fall below Nick on the totem pole once he is freed of Bella. Christie said that she would have no problem letting Nick go, and nothing would be able to come between their deal for two weeks of safety if they end up making it. Cliff said that he would not want to leave Sam hanging, so he would like to give him a heads up in advance of making the move. Next up, Cliff and Jackson talked things over. Jackson said he respects the decision that Cliff made. Cliff said he hopes that it can be a tit for tat type of deal, since Jackson had previously banished him and voted him out. Jackson agreed. He added that if Cliff is willing to put Bella up, they will be even.
2:00-3:00 PM: Cliff brought up that he and Jackson had talked about working together at one point, which is something that he would still be interested in. Jackson said that the best way to do it would be in a way that makes it seem as though they are not working together. Jackson confirmed that he will be using the veto on himself. Cliff said that he will not promise what he is going to do yet, as he has to talk to the girls, but he doesn’t see it being an issue. Cliff then spoke to Nicole for a second time. He informed her that Christie is likely going to use the power. Nicole figured that Christie would then put Bella up. Cliff agreed. He said that he may have to buy a few weeks of protection by allowing her to keep her power and backdooring Bella himself. Cliff said it kills him that he is being pushed into this position, as he wanted to make a big move to get Jack out of the house. Nick checked in with Cliff. He found out that Bella’s name has been coming up a lot but his has not. Cliff told Nick that Christie is likely going to use the power. Nick stressed that Jack has got to go or else they will be picked off one by one. Nick said that he will bury Christie next week if she uses the power. Cliff said that the others have talked about how it will be easier to work with Nick if Bella is gone, and they have assured him that he is not the target. Nick said that’s BS since they have been talking about how they don’t regret voting Cliff out. Nick told Cliff that they will put him up next week if they win HoH. They talked about needing Jess, Kat and Nicole’s votes in order to send Jack home. Afterwards, Nick spoke to Jackson to let him know that he would not be upset if he put him up. Jackson assured Nick that he would not go up. Nick then said that he will respect the move if Bella goes up. He admitted that Bella has messed up his game a little bit. Jackson reiterated that Nick would not be the one going on the block if the power is used. Cliff checked in with Kat to see which way that she would vote if Bella and Jack were on the block together. Kat said that she is much more threatened by Bella than she is by Jack. Kat told Cliff that she is still working with Holly and Jackson to some extent, so she is not necessarily threatened by the six but she knows that they would come after her once Bella and Nick are gone. When Cliff asked about getting Jack out this week and Bella out next week, Kat said she thinks that it would blow up her game with the six if she were to vote to evict Jack. Kat suggested that Cliff could make some sort of a deal with Jack, making it beneficial to get Bella out. Cliff said that he does not disagree. He filled Kat in on his potential plan to make a deal with Christie. He asked that she please not tell Nick. He thinks that Bella and Nick will explode if he puts Bella up after Christie chooses not to use her power. Cliff said that he is not the type of person to go back on his word and put Christie, Tommy, Analyse or Holly up if the power is not used. If Christie chose not to use her power without making him a deal, then Cliff said that he would be willing to nominate someone in that group.
3:00-4:00 PM: Out on the hammock, Nick told Analyse that he is their for himself and therefore he has to do what is best for his own game. Nick talked about regretting getting into a showmance since Bella is probably going to be going this week. Nick asked if that would leave him back in the alliance moving forward. Analyse said that she would want that. Nick said that he would too. He admitted to having played too hard at the beginning, but he pointed out that he stayed true to the alliance while he was in power last week. Nick told Analyse that he really does not remember saying her name. He admitted to having said Holly’s. Analyse said that she and Tommy are pushing hard for Nick to get back on board with the alliance, which people are really receptive to. Nick told Analyse that Christie was paranoid about Jack after she did not take Kemi out in week one, so she said that he needs to go, which led to him entertaining Kemi’s conversations about getting Jack out. Analyse asked if Christie was seriously skeptical about Jack. Nick swore that she was. He said that she would not do that now that they are so close. Nick made it clear that he does not want to get Jack out. He said that he was the one who made the alliance. Nick told Analyse that he would not want Christie to use her power this week only to have the wrong person win HoH next week. Analyse suggested that Nick could go with Christie to talk to Cliff about being on board with Bella going up, and then people will see that they can get Nick back on track. Analyse said that it would be better to have the plan come from her than from Nick. Nick told Analyse not to push things if Christie isn’t on board. Later, Analyse told Christie about her conversation with Nick. She said Nick claimed that he wants her to keep her power, so he talked about a plan to go to Cliff with Christie to say that he wants Bella to go up on the block. Analyse asked if that is weird. Christie wondered if Cliff is going to screw her over, and that is why Nick came downstairs happy. Christie then said that he wouldn’t swear on everything and then do that. Analyse added that Nick told her to relay the message so that it doesn’t look like he is up to something. Analyse said that she really believes Nick and doesn’t think that he is up to something. Christie hopes that Cliff isn’t playing her in order to make her feel safe so that she does not use her power. Christie said she either believes everything that Nick is saying, or it’s all a plan to get Jack out. The girls talked about wanting to trust Nick. Christie said that Bella is the poison, and she doesn’t trust Sam at all after this morning. Tommy came by. He said he doesn’t think that Cliff would lie to them.
4:00-5:00 PM: Nick told Kat that he could go up to the HoH room with Christie, tell Cliff to put Bella up, and then Cliff can nominate Tommy once Christie doesn’t activate her power. Kat said “wow”. Nick told her that it would be amazing, and he thinks that he might be able to do it. Nick let Kat know that Analyse is going to talk to Christie about going to Cliff with him. Kat asked if Analyse and Nick are working together. Nick said no but he trusts her. Kat questioned why Analyse would be on board with getting Jack out. Nick explained that she isn’t since she does not know that Cliff would lie about being willing to put Bella up. Kat called Nick the Tyler of the season. Nick said that if Bella does go up, the two of them, Jess, Nicole and Sam would need to vote to evict Jack in order to get him out. Nick stressed that this is their only chance to get him out.
5:00-6:00 PM: Nicole told Jess that Cliff would like to talk to her. She let Jess know that Cliff has a feeling that Christie is going to use the power, meaning that Bella would go on the block. Nicole said that Cliff is assuming that it is a done deal that Bella would then go home. Jess asked if Nicole feels okay with that decision. Nicole said “I guess”. Jess said she would hope that they are not targets on anybody’s list, but she knows that the only way to keep herself safe is to compete and save herself. Jess brought up that Cliff could have played it safe this week but he went out on a limb, so her biggest conflict is for him to have done it in vain. Nicole agreed. On the other hand, Jess said that the biggest argument is “do you want someone like Bella in jury?”. Nicole countered that by asking if they do get rid of Bella, will the rest of them even make it to jury. Jess asked if Nicole believes that Bella would even have their back next week if they were to save her. Nicole said no.
6:00-7:00 PM: Sam told Nick that he is going to have to have another conversation with Christie before tomorrow. Sam mentioned that Christie is wanting to use her power since she overheard Bella saying her name. Nick talked about the plan to go upstairs with Christie, say that he is on board with Bella going up, and then Cliff could nominate someone other than Bella after Christie doesn’t use her power. Sam asked who would go up. Nick said it could be Analyse but he would prefer that it be Tommy. Later, Sam went to speak to Christie. He asked if she knows what she is going to do. Christie said that she has no idea, so she is going to decide tomorrow morning. Sam questioned if her power would be better off being saved for herself on double eviction night. Christie said that she is bugging out. When Tommy asked Sam how he is doing, Sam admitted that he is paranoid since he knows that he was the ninth in an eight person alliance. Christie told Sam that there are plenty of smaller groupings within the eight, so there isn’t even really an eight. Analyse, Christie, Holly and Tommy then spoke. Analyse said that she would like to get Nicole out. She talked about having no trust in Nicole especially after Nicole would not commit to voting with them this week. The other girls agreed that Nicole cannot be trusted. Analyse said she believes that Cliff and Nicole are still working together. Christie said that Cliff is claiming that they are not. Holly assured Analyse, Christie and Tommy that they rank above Jackson in her eyes. Analyse said the same goes for her. Christie added that the girls will always have her vote over the boys.
7:00-8:00 PM: Tommy spoke to Holly and Jack about how only two more people need to go before jury. He said that Bella and Sam will not be in jury but everyone else will. Tommy said “you’re welcome” to Sam in that he will get to go home to his family rather than spend a month in the jury house. Later, Cliff quickly checked in with Nicole to give her an update. He said that he is still thinking about going to Christie to broker a deal. Nicole advised Cliff to talk to Nick no matter what if Bella is going up on the block. Cliff said that he will make sure that she understands. Cliff plans to tell Nick that it was a done deal and Christie was going to use her power anyway, so he didn’t have a choice but to put Bella up if that’s what it comes down to.
8:00-9:00 PM: Kat told Holly she feels like people are going to start targeting her if Bella leaves this week. Holly disagreed. Kat said that she does not see anyone else on anyone’s radar. Holly brought up that Kat is a part of the seven. Kat then talked about having a three with Holly and Jackson. The girls agreed that Jackson is at the bottom of that three. Up in the HoH room, Nicole spoke to the cameras. She revealed that Cliff is her Final 2. She said that she wants to be sitting in the chair next to him. She believes that Cliff deserves it. Christie then spoke to Nicole about the position that she is in. She mentioned that she would like to get one of the guys out if she wins HoH, but she would prefer to throw it to Kat or Nicole, or someone who would be willing to take the shot at the guys. Christie said that her dream team would be the two of them, Cliff, Jess, Kat and Tommy. Nicole agreed. Christie let Nicole know that she would rather go to the end with her over someone like Analyse, Holly or Jackson.
9:00-10:00 PM: Nick told Christie he knows that Bella is going to go if she uses her power. Nick told Christie to make the move if it is best for her game but don’t do it if not. He pointed out that she has two more weeks in which to make use of her power, and she is not a target for anyone. Christie said that she is Bella’s target. Nick told Christie that Bella only said that because she saw how upset that he was the day after Christie blindsided him. Nick assured Christie that he would never let Bella put her up. Christie said she is scared that Tommy will go up if she doesn’t use the power. When Nick said that he can make sure that it doesn’t happen, Christie changed her mind to say that it is not about that. Nick stressed that Jack will win the game if he makes it past this week, as nobody will take a shot at him. Christie told Nick that she can work with him but she cannot do it while Bella is still there. Christie added that if they are going to make moves against the couples, she will do it with him but she cannot trust Bella to do it with them. Nick told Christie that she will regret it for the rest of her life if she goes home next week after using her power this week. Christie suggested that keeping Jack is beneficial since he is the biggest target. Nick countered that by saying that Bella is a bigger threat since nobody likes her. Christie let Nick know that Jack trusts her more than anyone, and he has even promised to use the veto on her if they are nominated next to each other. Christie gave Nick her word that she will let him know what is going to happen in the morning.
10:00-11:00 PM: Nick told Bella, Nicole and Sam about his talk with Christie. Bella concluded that she is screwed. Nick explained that it is because she told people that she would go after Christie. Nick and Nicole brought up that Cliff could say that he is nominating Bella but not actually put her up. The three then coached Bella on what to say to Christie, as Nick believed that it was necessary for her to talk to her. Bella then headed outside to talk to Christie. She admitted that she is new to the game and has been trying to not talk to so much game after having ran her mouth at the start. Bella told Christie that she said her name but it was only because she loves Nick so much and saw how hurt he was after Christie flipped last week. Christie told Bella that she would like to keep the power for herself but he has a lot of pressure on her. Christie talked about Jackson having offered to go on the block if she would guarantee that she would use the power on him, which had to do in order to avoid going up herself. Christie said she doesn’t know what she is going to do yet, but she will tell Bella in the morning either way. Christie then talked to a handful of her allies about her conversations with Bella and Nick. Christie called Bella reckless and said that she cannot be trusted.
11:00-12:00 AM: Cliff talked to Jess and Nicole about his plan to cut a deal with Christie. Cliff said that as much as he had wanted to get Jack out, it’s not going to happen. Nicole brought up that the only other way to do it would be to say that he is going to nominate Bella but not follow through on it. Cliff explained that while he considered that, it is too early in the game to go back on his word. Christie and Cliff then spoke. Cliff let Christie know that he still feels the same way about making a deal with her. They discussed that they will shake on it tomorrow before 11 AM when Christie has to lock in her decision. Cliff admitted that what really got him on board was Christie saying that she does not want Bella on the jury. Cliff said that the whole season can be ruined by a bitter juror stirring things up in the jury house.
