Should we have a caption contest for this image of Jackson looking through the rulebook?

Jackson: "I can't wait to get my abs back." May he never get them back.

Must we really drag this snoozefest out until September 25th?

Tommy during the fight: "I don't think you deserve this money. I think they deserve this money. I think she deserves this money. That is my truth."

Jackson to Holly: "I'm glad that we got that out of the way. I'm still going to give my speech tomorrow. Not for him but for jury and for you guys. It's not a jab or a dig but I'm giving an explanation about why I'm doing what I'm doing."

And what's Holly doing during all this?

Part of me wishes this would have been a total blindside on Thursday. It would have been the perfect excuse for Jackson to use one of his favorite little catchphrases. Picture it now: Julie Chen: "Jackson, please cast your vote to evict." Jackson: "Fuck it! We'll do it live! I vote to evict Cliff."

Cliff: "I value you too much as a man to let this get to me." This is the same guy who Cliff once referred to as a frat daddy.

Jackson: "My word is everything and that's why it hurts so much to go back on it." Cliff: "We're cut from the same cloth." Ya don't say.

Holly: "Oh man. I can't believe I'm even here." We can't either, Holly. Jackson to Cliff: "Holly and I had our bond with ya'll and that was never going to be broken" Now he's going on about how his word is his bond bullshit.

Nicole: "I'm pulling a Kat. Where's the eviction button?" To be honest, if I had to spend the last week alone in the house with Holly and Jackson, I'd probably want to self evict, too, regardless of broken deals or not.

Nicole: "If you want to talk to him, go right ahead." Cliff says he thinks he will do that.

Cliff just needs to stop with the "If Thursday is my last day, blah blah blah" crap. Cliff: "I'm not ok with it but I'm oddly accepting that this is probably going to happen." Took him long enough. Nicole says she doesn't want to lose her shit. I want her to lose her shit.

Holly says she hopes that people don't hate them. She says she hopes her family and friends will be proud of her. Yes, they will be so proud that you've spent the summer propping up Jackson's ego, taking Jackson's bullshit, crying over him, and then going back for more.

LOL

Cliff still seems to be holding out some shred of hope based on his word choice. He keeps saying, "If it happens". It's not an "if" situation at this point.

I think Nicole is about to drop the truth on Cliff right now. Cliff is telling her that it's ok.

Nicole says she's sick and tired of being talked down to and lectured and she's over it. She says it's going to be a very depressing 11 days for her.

I rewound a little bit to Jackson and Holly talking in the kitchen. She says that Jackson was very forward and honest in his conversation with Nicole (I think she means when he told her what was going to happen regarding the vote) and that Nicole's reaction shows the difference in maturity between Jackson and Nicole. She said something about how Nicole acts when she doesn't get her way and how she lost a lot of respect for Nicole based on how Nicole has reacted. This was finished with Jackson looking straight at the camera and telling us how Holly Allen is the greatest and her exes screwed up by letting her go but that's ok because he snatched her up. Barf.

Nicole is out there by herself now telling the livefeeders that Jackson is full of it when he says that this wouldn't happened if they hadn't broken their word. She says it would have happened regardless. She says she wishes Jackson would just flat out say that Holly is his girl and he's taking her to final 3 no matter what.

Jackson to Nicole: "I owe it to him to tell him but I don't want to ruin his last 4 days here."

Nicole on the hammock to herself: "Oh America. I had it all mapped out in my head and I still went against it, why would I do that? I'm so stupid." Now Jackson is out there talking to her asking her if she knows it's not personal. She says she's stupid and he says she's not. Nicole: "If you keep your expectations low you can't be disappointed." Jackson: "That's the wrong mentality to have."

Last night Holly asked Jackson when he was going to tell Cliff. Jackson said after the veto ceremony.

They got a tie dye kit.

Jackson says he already has a Christmas gift planned out for a fellow castmate. He says he's going to get a blanket with Christie's memory wall picture on it and he's going to give it to Nick.
