Big Brother 21 Day 89
September 15, 2019
1:00-2:00 PM: While Holly, Jackson and Nicole were outside, Jackson said that he is wanting to give Nicole a little heads up even though he is going to say everything his veto speech tomorrow. Jackson said he hopes that it stays between them since he does not want to upset Cliff or add additional stress on top of the health issues that he is dealing with. Jackson said that the three of them are going to be the Final 3. Jackson told Nicole that he and Holly were unwaveringly loyal to Cliff and Nicole, and they all knew what they were getting themselves into when they made their Final 4 agreement. When Cliff came outside, Nicole headed in. Nicole said to the cameras that she knew it and that it is her own fault. Jackson followed her in. They spoke in the HoH room. Jackson said that his handshake and his word is rock solid until it is not reciprocated. Nicole said she is frustrated on a game level since he should not use that as an excuse. Jackson claimed that he is not. Nicole told him not to use last week as the excuse for this week. Jackson said he is not and Holly kept her word by throwing an HoH that she probably could have won. Jackson brought up Cliff telling him that he would take him to Final 3, then said he would take him to Final 2, only to take it back the next morning. Nicole said that she is upset about it because she is saw it coming and she, not Cliff, was the one questioning voting out Holly. Nicole said that she is upset since she should have given HoH to Cliff. Jackson listed off all of the deals that Cliff has been making over the past week. Jackson said that his word was unbreakable until he realized that Holly was going to get evicted. Jackson added that they knew it was going to come down to competitions, with him and Holly picking each other and Cliff and Nicole picking each other. Nicole said that she and Holly should have just duked it out for HoH, and then it would have been her and Cliff on the block. Jackson said that they wanted that to happen but they realized that Cliff and Nicole were going to go back on the Final 4 deal that they had, forcing them to lie and play dirty. Jackson told Nicole that Cliff is making deals to guarantee himself a spot in the Final 2, expecting it to be handed to him on a platter. While Jackson said that Cliff deserves to be in the Final 3, he said that the Cliff from the past week is not the same Cliff. Jackson pointed out that Cliff is making deals that are sloppy, messy and dirty. Jackson said that he respects Nicole too much as a person to let her be blindsided. Jackson mentioned that he wants to have this conversation with Cliff but he doesn’t think that today is the right day for it with his health. Nicole said that if and when Holly and Jackson are sitting next to each other in the Final 2, she will not be bitter and she will take it on the chin.
2:00-3:00 PM: Jackson told Nicole that he is not going to turn his back on Holly when she has never turned her back on him. Holly joined them. Nicole said she didn’t ever think that they would go against each other. Jackson clarified that this was not a part of some master plan, as everything changed when Cliff and Nicole talked about evicting Holly last week. Jackson said two comments were made, one about it being their last days together and one about Holly being allowed to compete in the veto, are not the Cliff that he knows. Jackson stressed that he and Holly are now unbreakable after what happened following BB Comics. Nicole said that they were always unbreakable. Jackson said that this is happening because they realized that they can only trust each other. Nicole said she wants to articulate that she was not the creator of these deals, and she did not shake her hand when it was discussed that Holly would throw HoH. Holly said that it was her only way to stay in the house since Tommy was offering that and she would not be there if not for doing that. Jackson said that that deal shouldn’t have even had to happen, since their Final 4 should have stayed in place. Nicole explained that she and Cliff thought that they were going back on their deal and trying to take them out. Holly and Jackson denied that. Jackson said that Tommy is good at what he does but they never wavered on their Final 4. Jackson said that he doesn’t want to tell Cliff the plan until he has to tomorrow. Nicole told Jackson that he had better talk to Cliff. Jackson said he will. He admitted that he even thought about giving the veto to Holly to let her do it but he is going to do it. Nicole said that she gets it but doesn’t need all of the reasons and excuses. Jackson said that these are the reasons why it’s happening and he feels the need to explain himself since he is breaking his word. Jackson said it kills him but he has to remember that it was just about to happen to him. Nicole said that Jackson doesn’t need to justify that to her. Nicole said she would never expect Holly and Jackson to get rid of each other but she is frustrated because she knows that Cliff deserves to be in the Final 3 more than she does. Nicole said that she should have thrown the HoH to Cliff since he is the one who wanted to keep Holly and he is the one who made the deal to have her throw the HoH competition. Nicole asked if Jackson is going to tell Cliff before the veto ceremony or if he is going to let him know in the speech. Jackson said that he will be giving a speech.
3:00-4:00 PM: While Nicole was alone on the hammock, she said that she saw this coming and it is not a big shock. Nicole questioned why she went against what she had mapped out in her head. Jackson joined her. He asked if she would like to talk about things. Nicole said that there is nothing to talk about. She told him that she didn’t expect anything different. Jackson clarified that it is not anything towards her. Nicole said she knows but she is stupid and made a stupid move, so she has to take it on the chin. Jackson told Nicole that she has a 33% chance of winning HoH, and she does not give herself enough credit. Nicole turned away from Jackson. He said that there is nothing that says that she doesn’t deserve $500,000. Jackson asked her to talk to him but Nicole said that she does not need a therapy session. Jackson said that he will sit there until she is ready, which Nicole said would be a long time. Jackson let Nicole know that he is honoured to go to the Final 3 with her. Jackson stressed that Nicole deserves to be there whether she believes it or not. When Holly joined them, Jackson said that he is conflicted as to when he should tell Cliff about his decision so he has decided to wait until the veto ceremony. Nicole asked if it is going to be some big dramatic thing. Jackson said no. He told Nicole that it is very respectful. Nicole asked if Jackson should tell him before the ceremony since she fears that Cliff will react in a way that he doesn’t want to if he doesn’t know until the ceremony. Jackson explained that it will be mature and that he is not going to try to embarrass anyone. Nicole said that Jackson’s reasons are going to make her and Cliff look like horrible people. Jackson said that they would not be in this situation if Cliff and Nicole had stuck to the deal. Nicole told Jackson that this will be a very good and dramatic speech. Holly and Jackson told Nicole that this is not about making anyone look bad. Jackson said he wants to explain why he is breaking his word since his word is everything to him. Nicole said that she will come out of this the worst of the four and looking like the one that screwed them all. When Jackson said that he and Holly were always going to stick to the Final 4 deal, Nicole called them the martyrs of the season and said she hopes that they raise balloons and cheer their names in the streets. Jackson then walked away. Holly did the same after telling Nicole that this is not what it’s about, and she knows it. Inside, Holly told Jackson that she just lost a lot of respect for Nicole after that conversation.
4:00-5:00 PM: When Nicole went inside, she spoke to the cameras. She said that if Jackson wants to drop a bomb at the veto ceremony, making himself a big martyr, then she is going to have a talk with her friend. Nicole headed tot he HoH room. She told Cliff that they need to talk and it’s really bad. Cliff assumed that they are thinking about flipping. Nicole confirmed that they are, and she added that he is planning on bringing up in his veto speech that his word means something and they did not reciprocate that. Cliff told Nicole that it’s okay. Nicole said that she is sad, disgusted and done. Cliff said he gets what Jackson is saying even though he disagrees a little bit since they made further agreements after the Final 4 deal. Nicole said that Holly and Jackson were lecturing and she can tell that it’s for the cameras. Cliff said there is nothing that he can do if Jackson doesn’t want to honour his side of the deal. Nicole expressed her frustration with Jackson for wanting to give reasons and excuses as to why he is breaking his word. Cliff said he gets what they are saying since there theoretically shouldn’t have been a need for extra agreements outside of their Final 4 deal. Cliff brought up that they likely would have kept him over Nicole had they stuck to the deal. Nicole said that is why she feels bad. Cliff said that Nicole needs to be okay with it since he is. Cliff asked Nicole for her permission to talk to Jackson. She said that he will be mad but they are not taking her to the end anyway, so go ahead. Cliff let Nicole know that she will have a vote in jury, and possibly more. Cliff headed downstairs. He asked Jackson to talk. Cliff said Nicole cant keep a secret. Jackson explained that he felt burned after BB Comics, and that was a turning point for him. Jackson pointed out that Holly stayed but it was only due to new agreements that shouldn’t have been in place when they had a Final 4. Jackson noted that Cliff was trying to set himself up for an automatic Final 2 spot, which Cliff admitted to. Jackson said that he was going to say whatever he had to say in order to keep Holly once he felt that he was getting burned. Jackson suggested that Cliff would have stayed if Holly didn’t have to throw HoH. Cliff agreed that he is taking the bullet on this one. Cliff said he doesn’t completely agree with what is happening, and he wishes that they hadn’t shook on a new deal, but they are grown men and he is not going to get upset. Jackson said it’s unfortunately Cliff vs Holly, and he has to pick one. Jackson clarified that his speech was never going to be about tarnishing Cliff’s name or making him and Holly look better. Cliff asked that Jackson not get upset with Nicole for telling him, and not make the final days weird. Jackson agreed. Cliff then talked to Nicole in order to fill her in on his talk with Jackson. Cliff said that they are okay. Cliff told Nicole that Jackson is not mad at her. They agreed that the only thing that changed by making the move to keep Holly is that Cliff and Nicole switched spots. Nicole said that is what disgusts her, since they should at least flip places. Out at the hammock, Jackson let Holly know about his talk with Cliff.
5:00-6:00 PM: Holly wondered if Cliff and Nicole will try to press Jackson to change his mind. Jackson said that there is no changing his mind, and he would not believe anything that they could possibly offer him. Holly said she knows but she wonders if they will try. Cliff then came outside. Jackson asked how Nicole is doing. Cliff said that she is okay but she is upset in part because she feels as though things would be flipped if not for her pushing to keep Tommy. Cliff told Holly that Tommy was spinning things and he was also hearing things from Nicole that led him to believe that they were not as tight as he had thought. Cliff insisted that he was tight with them. Holly said she knows that, and Jackson said that’s what sucks about this.
