Big Brother 21 Day 25 - Kat wins the Power of Veto

July 13, 2019

10:00-11:00 AM: Analyse mentioned that Nicole wants to talk today. Nick said that’s because she is wants to stay, and she is going to Vanessa Rousso every one of them, and then they will come tell him that maybe Nicole needs to stay. Nick said he will then tell them that they are dumb. Nick asked Analyse who she would like to see go this week. Analyse said whoever Nick wants to go, but she personally would like to see Cliff go. Analyse explained that he is a snake and it would be dumb to allow him to stay in the game with Ovi potentially coming back. Nick once again said that Nicole will Vanessa Rousso her way through the game, crying and manipulating people. Christie joined the conversation. She said that Nicole has the biggest target on her back, and everyone knows where she stands, so she serves almost no threat to them. On top of that, she said that Nicole does not perform well in competitions. whereas Cliff is a puzzle master who will win the double eviction HoH. Nick said he feels weird keeping Vanessa Rousso in the game. Nick explained that Nicole almost had them flipping on each other, she laughed in Bella’s face, and she used her anxiety. Christie said that she would send Cliff home if it was up to her. Nick said that Nicole’s ability to manipulate is more of a threat to him. When someone brought up that Nicole would win the wall comp, Christie said that is a totally valid reason for targeting her. Nick suggested using the vet on Cliff in order to get on his good side.

11:00-12:00 PM: Christie, Jack and Tommy discussed their alliance name. They called themselves “LOL” or “Lots of Love”. Christie asked Jack if he can keep a secret. Jack pointed out that Analyse and Jackson don’t know about his power. He swore on that. Christie then revealed that she won the Whacktivity Competition. She said that it’s a pretty major power, the Diamond Power of Veto, and it is good for the next four veto ceremonies. Christie suggested that it could be used to go after their Flaming Five allies, those being Bella, Nick and Sam. Christie brought up that Nicole could take the shot at Bella and Nick if she stays. Jack said that he plans to use the veto on Cliff if he wins it.

12:00-1:00 PM: Bella told Tommy she thinks that she is a really nice person but when she feels betrayed, she cannot. Tommy brought up Christie wanting to make sure that targeting Nicole is not an emotion based decision, but it’s gameplay since Nicole’s emotions are her gameplay. Bella said that she doesn’t trust anyone after Kemi betrayed her, so she is not surprised that Nicole did, but it bothered her that Nicole did this after bonding with Nick over their anxiety. Bella said she has realized that she cannot be so upfront with people. She believes that it has gotten her into trouble on two occasions now.

1:00-2:00 PM: Cliff asked Analyse if she would be willing to play in the veto competition for him. Analyse made it clear that she would like to play. Cliff said he may select her if Jack is already in the competition. The two then discussed what Cliff had said when Christie overheard him. Analyse confronted Cliff about saying that he wants to go after the couples, and target her and Jack first. Cliff denied having said that. He swore to God that she is not a target for him. Analyse said that she believes him. Next up, Cliff spoke to Jack. Cliff assured Jack that he has not ever said anything about targeting anyone. Cliff added that he has always been good with Analyse and Jack. Jack said that’s why he offered to compete for Cliff. The two discussed that they would like to earn each other’s trust back. Cliff promised Jack that he is not his target. Nicole spoke to Cliff to ask if he knows who he will pick if he gets houseguest’s choice. Cliff said he is thinking of picking Jack because he promised to use the veto on him. Nicole said that she would do the same. Cliff said he is not going to promise that he will pick her, but he has thought about it real hard.

2:00-3:00 PM: Feeds went down at 2:13 to pick players for the veto competition. Feeds returned at 2:34. The veto players are Nick, Cliff, Jess, Christie, Jackson and Kat. Jess picked to Christie with houseguest’s choice, so they talked things over. Christie said that Cliff is more dangerous to her but everyone wants the nominations to be changed so that Nicole can go on the block. Meanwhile, Kat checked on Nicole who was wondering if she is going to be backdoored. Kat said that she hasn’t heard anything yet. Kat suggested that her chances of winning the veto are very slim, but she has always thought that the best gameplay is to win the veto and not use it. Nicole said that that is her only saving grace in this situation. Kat said that she would have to talk to Cliff and Nick before making her decision. Back in the other room, Nick asked Christie if she will use the veto. When Christie asked if Nick wants her to, he said to please use it on someone because Nicole needs to go. Christie told Jess and Nick that she would never use the veto on Cliff. Nick let Jess know that he would use the veto on her if he wins it. Nick informed Jess that Nicole was trying to campaign against her last week.

3:00-4:00 PM: Up in the HoH room, Nick said he doesn’t even believe that Nicole is actually upset. He said that if she is a sociopath, they don’t have any emotions. Jackson let the group know that he is going to use the veto on Jess if he wins it. Elsewhere, Kat told Jess that she wants to use the veto on her but she wants to talk to Nick about it. Jess revealed that Nick had told Christie to use it on whoever she wants to. Kat let Jess know that Nick did the same thing with her that he did with Nicole when it comes to suggesting that she nominate Holly. Because of that, Kat said that she isn’t sure that Nicole is this horrible person. After that, she suggested that Nicole may have been the one to leak to Bella and Nicole that Jess was talking about them. They also discussed that Nicole may have been the one who told Ovi that all of the girls were working together.

4:00-5:00 PM: Jess came by to tell Nicole she feels really bad for not picking her to play in the veto competition. Jess explained that she wanted to give Nicole a chance to compete but she knows that it would have been a hard decision for Nicole to choose who to use the veto on. Nicole said she is a woman of her word and she would have taken Jess down had she picked her. Nicole said she has resigned herself to the fact that she is going home, but she doesn’t want to lose Jess as a friend. Jess assured her that she has not taken anything that she has done personally, and it’s just a game. Nicole said she respects the game move that Jess made. In the bathroom, Kemi told Ovi she knows that Bella and Nick would not have spoken to her the way that they have spoken to Nicole. She thinks that they are picking on Nicole because they don’t see her as someone who would give it back to them. Ovi said the way that they are treating Nicole right now is not right. Kemi and Ovi discussed that they expected to have fun playing the game but they are not having fun. Ovi pointed out that there is a pack mentality going on. Kemi said that people should not be getting mad at Nicole for playing the game when that’s what they are all doing too. Kemi mentioned that this likely would not be happening if Bella was removed from the situation.

5:00-6:00 PM: Christie told Jess and Kemi that she loves Nicole and does not think that this is the best decision. Christie admitted that she is scared to go against the group right now, but she is hoping that she can do some rallying in the days leading up to the eviction. Christie said that Nicole needs to call a house meeting in order to air things out, as whoever is lying needs to be exposed. Bella and Kat chatted with each other. Kat let Bella know that she would like to be a number for her and for Nick. Bella let Kat know that she sees her as a number. Bella discussed what has been happening between her, Kemi and Nicole. Bella said that Kemi and Nicole must look like evil villains, and she hopes that America destroys them. Bella later said that she has grown as a person while she has been in the house, and she hopes that she watches this back and sees that she was super loyal. Nicole came by. She told Bella that she loves her, respects her, and is sorry if anything that she said hurt her feelings. Bella said she appreciates the apology but still thinks that her character and Nick’s character was attacked when she called them bullies. Nicole explained that she was interrogated by Nick, which Bella denied. Bella said she is very disappointed that Nicole feels that Nick did that to her. Nicole said she doesn’t feel it, she knows it. Bella then talked about how Nick was there for Nicole through her anxiety, and yet she abused that. Bella stressed that there was no need to say that Nick bullied her. Nicole clarified that someone else brought up the word bullied, and it was not her choice of words. When Bella said that Nicole is still throwing people under the bus, Nicole pointed out that she has not said any names. Bella called Nicole defensive, to which Nicole replied “says the person that wouldn’t even talk to me last night like an educated adult”. Bella asked if Nicole is calling her uneducated. Nicole said yes, since Bella ranted at her and would not let her get a word in, only to walk out when she was done her rant. Kat was in the room for the entire conversation, but Holly, Nick and Tommy later joined. Nicole said that she would have respected if she had been let into the HoH room last night in order to say her piece. Nicole pointed out that nobody is going to come to Nick, the HoH, or Bella to admit that they said that they were coming after them.

6:00-7:00 PM: Nick asked when he ever told Nicole that he would nominate Analyse and Holly. Nicole clarified that she said Nick spoke to her and told her that “I know who you would put up. Holly and Sis”. Nick said that him fishing for information is not equivalent to telling her who to nominate. He also said that he mentioned numerous other names, which Nicole agreed with. Nick then asked when he bullied Nicole. He said that she used her anxiety, if it’s even real, against her. Feeds then cut. When they came back, Nicole was talking about how she is different from all of them in a sense that she is not a pretty girl or a jock, so she knew that she was on an island. Nicole said she didn’t know where she fit in, so she would go to different groups in order to put out feelers. Nick explained that even if what Nicole said yesterday was true, it was most likely based off of the paranoia that she created by going to those people with information. Nicole again explained that she put feelers out with people, and she had decided that she was going to hitch her wagon to Bella and Nick, which is why she divulged all of that information. Nick said that it was a great game move since she almost had all of them turning on each other. Nicole claimed that it was not intentional. Bella spoke up to tell Nicole that she needs to stop getting caught in lies, and that she should not be telling Kat to be worried about her. Nicole then called Bella out, saying that everyone in the room and in the house is aware that she is the one who is manipulating, twisting, lying, and making things up. Bella played it off as though Nicole is scrambling because her game is falling apart. Bella left the room. Nicole then told Nick that she had a conversation with Jackson in which he said that they are all aware of who is twisting things, and it is going to be handled. Nicole told Nick that Bella is not a nice person, and she has twisted things, lied about things, and is making people feel uncomfortable. Nicole added that she is not the only one who has voiced that they see what is going on. Nick said he doesn’t know why Bella is getting more of the blame when they are both doing the same thing. Nicole said that Bella cannot even have an adult conversation like the two of them are having. Nick said it seems like Nicole is dogging Bella, and she is only 22 years old, so there is no reason to be doing that. Meanwhile, Bella was voicing her frustration about how Nick keeps telling Nicole that he respects her gameplay. Bella did not like that Nick kept telling her to chill out and would not let her speak.

7:00-8:00 PM: Nick told Nicole he is glad that they had this conversation. He said that he would love to be her friend again if he watches this back and sees that she was being genuine. Nick advised Nicole against talking to Bella anymore. He said that it will not be productive. In the storage room, Christie told Jack and Tommy that she is not going to get rid of Nicole when she is willing to take a shot at Bella and Nick. Jack brought up that Bella has the maturity level of a 15 year old girl. Christie said that she is getting caught up in all of her lies, and now she is panicking. Both Christie and Jack said that they will not be voting to evict Nicole. Christie said that she still plans to use the veto on Jess if she wins it, but she will not vote Nicole out even if she is the only one to vote that way. Jack said that they can get Nicole into the fold by bringing up that she was bullied. Tommy suggested saying that they believed her all along, rather than bringing up the word bullying. Feeds went down at 7:30 for the veto competition.

9:00-10:00 PM: Feeds returned at 9:43 following the veto competition. Kat won the Power of Veto. Jess and Kat celebrated in the storage room. Kat told Jess that she is coming off of the block. Analyse and Christie discussed that they do not want Nicole to go. They agreed that it is not best for their game. Christie mentioned that based on what she heard from Tommy, Nicole was not the biggest liar in the conversation that took place between her, Bella and Nick. Christie said that she will not be voting to evict someone who is gunning for Bella and Nick. In the boat room, Jack let Jackson know that they are thinking of keeping Nicole. They talked about it not making sense to get rid of someone who is after Bella and Nick. Jack asked Jackson what he thinks about sending Cliff home. Jackson called it a done deal. Jack brought up that Bella and Nick are trying to eliminate the one who witnessed all of the bad things that they did.

10:00-11:00 PM: Christie and Jack discussed that the Six Shooters have enough votes to save Nicole. Jack said that they have got to do it without letting the rest of the house know. Elsewhere, Kat spoke to Jackson about her desire to use the veto on Jess. Jackson said that it is the best move. Kat reiterated that she is a number for Jackson. She felt the need to since Nicole had told her that there is an alliance, and named off all of Gr8ful, and said that Kat is the next to go. In the HoH room, Analyse asked Nick if he wants to get Cliff out this week. He said no. Nick still prefers to target Nicole. In the bedroom, Christie let Jess know that she would like to see Jess and Nicole stay over Cliff. Christie revealed that she was in the room when Bella exposed Black Widow. She told Jess that Bella is playing every person in the house. Jess mentioned being concerned that Nicole campaigned against her. Christie assured Jess that that was not the case.

11:00-12:00 AM: Jack and Jackson had a quick that. Jack brought up that Bella is playing backgammon with Cliff, and she is trying to reel him in. Jackson said that Bella and Nick have got to go. They agreed that they need to meet with the six. All but Jackson then quickly met up. Christie stressed she will not be voting to evict Nicole no matter what happens. Analyse said that she too wants to evict Cliff. Analyse pointed out that it will cause a divide. Christie said she is ready since they will keep Nicole, David will come back, and then everyone is going to attack Bella and Nick. Christie thinks that Bella needs to be the first to go. Analyse agreed, but Tommy did not. Tommy said that the order should be Nick, Sam and then Bella.
