This is exactly why I need Nick to go first before Bella. Sam wouldn't last a day with Bella alone. He'd split right then and there.

Yes, Bella, keep digging yourself into that hole to be the replacement nominee. Yessss. Seriously, if Christie hears about this, she'll make sure Bella is up on the block if she has to use DPOV this week.

Yes! Yes! Jack and Son are up! One of them MAY go home! Yes! And it sounds like Jack which, really, is fine with me.

Good thing Cliff has already made up his mind and Tommy isn't likely to change his mind. FFS, Tommy, your alliance is getting targeted this week. Maybe you'll be in tact by the end of the week, but you....EVICTED CLIFF. Of course he's putting you guys up!

I do like that Cliff's target is Jack. That's not the worst target he could have chosen. An obvious one, for sure, and I think someone like Christie, Tommy, or Jackson would be better to go after, but not a horrible target at all. I hope Cliff puts up AnalySis next to him. That would give Christie less reason to use her power. I am disappointed that Cliff likes Jackson (and Holly). It just means that Jackson is likely to get farther than he should be.

Sam seems to be pushing for a Jack and his Son noms, so I'm good with that. I think Sam WANTS to make these moves...just not on his own, so he's good with anyone else doing it.

This could all be for nothing if Christie uses her power (I think a Six Shooter has a chance of winning veto this week) but I kind of hope that we at least get a tied vote. It's exciting to see Cliff as HOH. I'm sorry I ever doubted him.

No idea, but it was a really fast comp (took under two hours, I read) and Jack and Christie almost won. Cliff said somewhere that he wasn't planning to win until Jack/Christie were close to winning. They would have had to do an HOH with the set-up like the Camp Comeback competition so I think it could have been the same competition as the Camp Comeback? But I'm only guessing. There's no proof that it is. It could have been a questions comp.

I mean, anyone who gets out Bella or Nick is a winner in MY book. Preferably Nick, as I can absolutely see him slipping into F6 if Bella goes. Sam will be a bigger target out of him and Nick, unfortunately. Cliff is definitely taking a shot at one of the four (Christie, Tommy, Analyse, Jack). Unfortunately for us, Jackson/Holly are both safe. Jackson is likeable in that house, for some reason, despite the fact that he eats all of the food (guy needs help for his eating disorder...seriously, he never stops eating). All of the women (sans Jess...sorry Jess) and Tommy have a great shot at the endurance comp if it's a wall comp (since we're seeing it on the feeds, it must be). Tommy might win that one, or Analyse will, if she sticks around. I would be fine with losing either Nick, Bella, Analyse, or Jack this week, so it's a win-win-win-win week for me, no matter what.

I don't know. I know that Cliff definitely won't be putting up Kat, Jess, or Nicole. So really, if he does chicken out, he's putting up Nick/Bella. And is that REALLY a loss? I don't think so. I think that's still a win for us.

Yeah, between Cashel and Cormac, we really got our pick of the Douchebag litter. Cashel seems to want Kyra to wait for him....while he flirts with other girls. And Cormac basically said in this episode that he'd only open up to Caro if they had sex, which is super gross. I'd totally be down for a Caro/Winston coupling. Winston's a bit timid and Caro's totally out there, but they could be a fun match for each other. Since Winston's type, Alexandra, is coupled with Dylan and I don't see that changing, he either should be choosing Kyra or Caro, especially with their men being douchey. Plus, Caro and Winston both had their heart rates elevated most for each other. Although, like Elizabeth said about Zac, his heart rate being elevated for Caro is likely because he was afraid of her. True that! The announcer is fantastic. He makes the show for me, really. He shades everyone and everything. I wonder which couple is going to be in danger next. I think Alex/Dylan and Zac/Elizabeth should be safe. So I'm thinking either Yamen/Christen or Cormac/Caro will be in danger.

I hope he doesn't. I hope Cliff simply decides to flush out the power. I think Cliff is smart enough to try. Plus, Christie cannot very well use the power against him. The downside is that she could use the power on Jess, Kat, or Nicole, which wouldn't be good. I do feel like the person put up would be Nick or Bella, though. However, it also depends on if Christie even wants to waste her power on someone like Jack or AnalySis, or if she'd rather wait until her or Tommy are in danger. I mean, she'd be dumb to use the power for Jack or AnalySis. It's better to make amends with Cliff and hold off. Plus, even if she got backdoored....sorry, Brussel Sprouted (I'M GOING UP! I'M GOING ON THE BLOCK!), Christie would likely have the votes to stay over Jack or Analyse....actually, maybe not Analyse. She'd have the votes against Jack for sure.

It sounds like Christie, Tommy, Jack, and AnalySis are Cliff's targets. ...what is so appealing about Jackson that he's not a target? At least I understand why HollyBeth isn't.

I don't think this is a dud week at all, even if Nick/Bella get split up. If Cliff does put up Christie/Jackson, for example, Jack and potentially Christie will likely flush both of their powers, rendering it useless for the following week if an Outsider wins HOH again and takes another shot. Plus, so far in a veto, NONE of the Six Shooters have won veto. Sam won the first two and Kat won the third. So there's no guarantee that they'll win it this week. There is harm for Cliff if he doesn't put up Nick/Bella, yes, but he needs to take the chance and put up couples. I know he has no idea about the powers, but he has to at least try. This is going to be an interesting week either way. It sounds like Cliff is ready to make a move against the showmances. Even if that results in either Nick or Bella leaving (I'd say it would likely be Bella), then so be it. Even though it would be better for a Six Shooter to leave, Bella leaving is STILL a win.

Be warned: HOH comp may not be shown on feeds tonight so if you were planning to wait up to watch....I wouldn't necessarily count on it. I think Julie was promoting endurance for next week, not tonight. I'm probably heading to bed, since the HOH competition will take a while. Everyone was starting to eat and they're not just going to tell people to stop cooking, which means production has to let them know that HOH is starting, they need to finish up, and then a lot of time for prep before they even start the comp. There'll be at least four hours before we find out anything. Again, assuming that Julie was talking about endurance for next week. Maybe I'm psyching myself out because I want to go to bed and not miss an endurance comp on the feeds.
