Her power ends this week. And she can only give the power to Jack IF he wins Veto. She can't use the power herself. Only the veto winner can use this power if she chooses to give it the "diamond" upgrade to their current golden veto power. Hypothetical examples: 1. Say Tommy wins it (please no) and Christie gives it to him and he removes Jack and then Tommy puts up a pawn in Nicole or Kat maybe. 2. But if Jackson wins she is screwed since no way does she upgrade Jackson's golden power to diamond or she would find herself up on the block if she did. 3. And if an "outsider" (non-former Sixer) wins veto Christie is likely screwed as well because they aren't likely to use their veto power or if they did if Christie upgraded them to "diamond" they could just turn around say and take Jackson off and put Christie up instead.

And the hopping up and down on beds. Remember early in the season where Jack was doing his racist "ape" impressions of David? Well, Jack, you appear to be the real ape. LOL. THE perfect argument to KEEP Jackson as in the perfect goat.

There is NO third nominee this week. Only next week. Julie clearly stated that the voting runs through Thursday's live eviction and effects the following week's nominations. Also: Totally. And Jack doesn't have a rock solid trio. Alas, he has a quartet. You -- and all of us in America -- keep forgetting about Anal Lice. You know, Jack's little showmance pet and the one that had that one lone line tonight when she literally "clucked" twice. Also Holly will throw Jackson under the bus to save herself with the group. That was what she was saying in that convo with them late in the episode. Kat isn't with Jackson but she is one sharp player and will gladly use Jackson not only as a meatshild but as a way to go after Christie/Tommy as remnants of the Six threaten to take each other out for her. Is Kat a floater? Of course. The Six/Eight/Nine/Whatever put her in that position early. As a result she had to be a floater and one of the best ever in that difficult role using her social skills to survive. But her DR shows she wants as many of Jack/Christie/Tommy/Anal Lice out first last and foremost. They threaten her the most. She also doesn't like or trust Jackson and wants to split Holly off from him but she is smart to bide her time with Jackson for the time being. She should be solid against Jack this week. The one true wild card is Nick who I don't trust at all. He may pretend to be with the outsiders but he always has wanted to be part of the cool kids and with Jackson on the outs with Jack now he may try to take his place next to Jack instead. Which is yet another reason Jack HAS to go this week. (That and the fact Jack is a biggest freaking damn racist in the House).

Oh I so hope they do. It will make it even more delicious when they leave to find out it was totally opposite of what they thought. Nothing like a totally delusional hamster getting their comeuppance in the end.

Nay. If Jackson is voted out then Jack will win the game most likely because Christie, Tommy and Anal Lice are loyal to him. If Jack is voted out Jackson won't win either because those three will all target Jackson next. And you will get both out. So Jack MUST go this week or just hand him the 500 K now. No it won't. She can ONLY evoke it if the Veto Winner decides to remove one of the nominees from the block. (Where did you get two people from? It's the Golden Power of Veto, not a Two for One Strange Power). And Christie cannot use that power herself to choose anyone to replace that person herself. She has to give it to the Veto Winner to use as the Veto Winner sees fit. Once Christie evokes the power she has no control over it at all anymore. Since the Veto Winner gets to choose the replacement and they are also the HOH this week as well -- Jessica -- the the Golden Power of Veto Upgrade is kaput. And this was the last week it could be used so Christie is screwed.

That would be horrible. She'd end up on the block and out and we'd miss the chance to see Christie, Tommy or Jackson squeal and scream and cry and Hulk out if one of them goes up instead. (Or Jack if he survives Thursday which he well could with these morons).

Which means they were more than a little happy to throw veto just as they intended anyway. I don't trust Kat. She does have a little crush on Jack and seems to trust Christie at least part way. PLEASE prove me wrong, Kat. God no. Jack was on a racial vendetta against Kemi since before the feeds were turned on. He is a hard core racist and treats women like dirt too. Jack is my far the worst of the lot and not even close which is saying something given how bad Jackson is too. And no. No way Jackson makes the final three if he survives Thursday. He vs Christie and Tommy will end up taking out all three of them in the end hopefully. Yes to the whole post. Plus Jackson needs to be used as a vote to break-up Christie and Tommy before being shown the door otherwise if he goes the outsiders will be outsiders again and will be picked off one by one by the Axis of Evil (Christie, Jack and Tommy who are the inner three after all) with aid from Anal Lice and a fearful Holly clawing to be accepted back into the cool kids minus Jackson. No bueno to that scenario. Keep voting Jack because these morons can always screw up things at the last minute and if Jackson loses his shit that could VERY well happen. And he loses it a lot. And we don't want Jack avoiding the road trip if he survives Thursday night which, unfortunately, he could with Christie and Tommy working the phones for him and Jackson possibly going all Hulk on the House for one reason of the other. Just keep adding some TOMMY votes into the mix is all. But don't stop voting lots for Jack either. My nightmare is the voters get too damn complacent and Jack escapes both eviction and the road trip.

Again, this one is still up and for hours and hours now. It even politely allows your browser to scan for virus before opening. Just remember to click on the speaker icon and crank it up because the default is Mute and set to zero. THE 80 MIN VIDEO THAT STILL REMAINS UP ONLINE http://bmx-tv.net/leak.html It isn't on YouTube so won't be taken down as a matter of copyright policy. But apparently not for Brussels sprouts.

No way would Christie give her power away to Jackson at this point. I so hope Jackson wins veto and Jessica somehow stumbles on the right choice and names Tommy as the replacement. Romeo and Juliet up together, hah.

I so want Jack to go this week not just because he is a piece of racist crap. But also because Tommy will weep and wail and have a complete breakdown on live TV. Julie: "Well, Jack, we were going to do an exit interview with you now but showing Tommy attempting to leap off the kitchen counter to his death is far more entertaining than me going through your endless list of racial slurs."

That was about Nick. He has always thought of himself as a "cool kid" and hated he was banished to the outsiders. If he sees a chance to become, in his sleazy, pathetic, loser mind anyway, a "cool kid" again he will kick the outsiders to the curb for sure. He wants to be either Jack's or Jackson's "boy" because he too is an "alpha male" don't ya know and belongs up with the movers and shakers and not down amongst the inferior peasants.

Someone put the video up on a non-YouTube (blocked by them) site. Let us see if this works. http://bmx-tv.net/leak.html Edit: Yep it is there. VIDEO IS BACK UP and safe from YouTube rules.

The original person put it up in downloaded video form to be replayed on my favorite viewing app - VLC. Find that web site again which was posted some pages back or keep googling because hundreds if not thousands of people would have already downloaded it and could re-post not just on YouTube but on individual websites. Also the transcript from Reddit remains up and is a really good read and much clearer about what was said the first part behind doors than the video even. Not perfect but really really good and a lot quicker than 80 minutes to get through. Also CBS can't block a transcript of Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BigBrother/comments/cl0ua3/heres_what_happened_when_the_feeds_went_down/

Maybe. But sometimes Humpty Dumpty can't be put back together again too. See my post above. Spoiler here that spoils nothing concrete that happened other than the reasons why Julie was so pumped and why we didn't see anything last night that pumped her so up as well: About all the ENDLESS annoying shout-outs from the DR voting booth. I heard that last year maybe or the year before they were threatening the HGs with penalty nominations if they kept this endless crap up. Unfortunately it was just endless threats and no real action like the boy who cries wolf all the time so the HGs ignored them again quickly. We need the wolf to enter for real and one of these idiots be put up on the block live and a re-vote immediately to take place. I do like the idea of just pressing a button with the DR mic off but you know these idiots would immediate become mimes on the spot and the next season ones would learn sign language in advance.

Then tell me please. Can you vote without "joining" All Access by either paying or using up the free trial week?

Thanks. I did view the video and couldn't hear diddly inside that damn room the first half hour so much appreciated. I especially love the very last part of the transcript: Ya think? LOL!!

Julie wasn't lying. The live feeds cut off a couple of hours before the live show starts but ...

But they will see what will make the show more popular with the viewers by the vote so yes the votes do matter.

See below, the last post re-quoted. I re-posted it if you missed it. The live feeds are turned off a few hours before the live show but someone apparently had access to the satellite feed and posted the link here. Pot meet kettle. He looked like he was going to explode throughout the live show too. Christie: "'Thou shall not bear false witness.' Hmmm, wonder what that could mean." Thanks do much. I have not the time or patience to watch this but I am looking forward to you guys providing us lazy folk a nice, snarky summary of those 80 minutes. Thanks in advance.

Bottom line. You can't give him security. All you can do is provide him a target on the block and by so doing remove one of the Six's ability to vote that night at the same time. Not getting a Six on the block by America means they also get an extra freaking vote as well. And they will also end up thinking Nick is hated by America so go after him even more because it is obvious that this vote is all about putting someone America hates on BB in "mortal danger" since the whole point is to get one of them on the block. Therefore he must be very much hated by America and America will thank the House if they get rid of him.

About the Kemi issue from this article and a follow-up from a reporter I think this snippet should be shown directly here on the BB thread from that link: In other words CBS was throwing a lower level producer under the bus -- it darn well wasn't Gordner herself -- to run away from the whole issue. Good for the NPR guy saying what it really was. Spin.

Maybe Nick can win HOH. Or Cliff or Nicole. Or the other side of the split forming of the six. But you put Nick totally in danger if you vote for him. Also the family of a non-Six are saying online:

Well Kat is Jessica's best buddy in the house and Jess likes Christie who will be happy to second the nomination. Now watch it be Cliff and Nicole instead. Interesting Kat is floating Jackson though what with Holly being her secret two alliance. It is a bit early to get rid of Holly's meatshield maybe? Or does Kat want to assure herself that Holly sticks with her alone? Edit: Okay The Allman Brothers is a step up from the other music crapfests they have been having in the house at least. I'll give her that.

My wish list on who ends up nominated and losing the contest: #1 Jack by light years. A hateful and cruel racist bigot who does not respect women either. And no entertainment value for viewers. #2 Jackson. Also disrespectful of women and only slightly less racist than Jack. At least he does provide some entertainment value for viewers. #3 Tommy. Coasting under the radar doing nothing other than being a rat. His total 100% annoyance factor while on screen pushes him up into the third position. (Edit: Also for what he said in the post above. God I hate him and his whole fake unicorns and sunshine and Happy Six crap). #4 Anal Lice. Too dumb to live and brings nothing to the show but poor spelling skills. #5 Christie. She indeed is a major BB villain but just the typical hypocritical backstabbing type. And she entertains when in panic mode and especially when hearing the words Brussels sprouts. #6 Holly. Perhaps the least hated of the Six which makes her dangerous. If Tommy doesn't win she could. #7 Jessica. Has to be kept around for a little longer to break up the Six but please don't let her get to the finals. Also see Anal Lice as in too dumb to live. New, Reformed (Bella-less) Nick 2.0, Cliff and Nicole can stay. Whoever hangs around the longest of these three may well win America's Favorite unless America is totally fooled by "Happy Tommy" which, alas, they could be. And another alas. TV viewers will forget Camp Comeback's "People of Color Three" since it was so long ago. But I wish all would win America's Favorite as a collective award to screw the Six over and send a loud and clear message to cut this crap out in America.

Eh, I hate and loathe Jackson equally so Jack and Tommy up is enough of those three for me. And Jackson, Holly and Kat are equally threatening. Good for them. They get it. But I still say Tommy is the safest bet to assure one of the Jacks are nominated. And those two Jacks are the very worst BB humanity has to offer. Christie is a mere typical BB villain by comparison. And damn it, voting Tommy ferrets him out from behind Christie's skirts some. He probably is about a 80% to 90% favorite to win this whole game at this point and I couldn't stand that.
