Cliff says she has been on top so long, she doesn't know what it means to not be at the very top.

Michie also beings up her being only 22 years as well.

Cliff says he appreciates it.

Michie says, I don't know what they try to smear me as.

Cliff says, I will tell you if i hear anything.  I hear Sis saying a bunch of sh*t but Christie is trying to calm her down.

Michie spends some time reassuring Cliff and vice-versa. 

Cliff: We both have things over the past 8 weeks that could've driven wedges into our relationship as we tried to navigate this stuff.  If we can let bygones be bygones, I am ready.  

9:46PM BBT

Cliff: Where do you all think Nick is in this?  He goes both ways so much, I don't have any clue.

Michie: I don't know where Jess is either.   I don't know where Nicole is either.  I know you are close to her.

Cliff: Nicole would be good with y'all.  Nicole would be fine.  I don't know about Jess.

Michie: Especially seeing Jess talk to them so much.  I know how much she plays on emotion.  That's why I want to talk to you directly because I know what she said.

Cliff: The more communication the better.

9:50PM BBT Jess says to Christie on same couch in BY something about mean girl this and mean girl that.   Kind of insinuating the girls she hangs out with.  Well, sh*t, if you only hang out with Christie and Sis, who else are you f'n talking about.  (Cliff comes out)

Cliff says he put a single cashew under the cover just barely.  He says if Tommy goes in there, .... Tommy yells across the BY, no that's fine, I don't go in there.

Cliff explains he is trying to calm her down with the pranks.

Tommy, Nicole and Nick are just laying on the hammock.  Cliff brings over a bean bag.

9:53PM BBT Christie retelling story of how when she overheard Cliff talking about the 6 and they flipped the vote and saved her (?Nicole over Cliff).  Christie says if 6 people just did that you would think she would be really appreciative or thank us up and down.  Nothing, radio silence.

Jess: Did Kat tell you she knew about the vote flip?  

Christie: No? Who told her, Kat?

Jess: Holly and Michie told her about the flip.  Before it happened and it had been in the works for the whole week.

Christie: So they were trying to take credit for it?  

Jess: Whatever they were trying to do,..

Christie: It was definitely discussed, we were all, ...  Not we were all.  I was more like Morally and Ethically like feeling bad [Again, back to trying to use those words to sell things? - rms]

Christie: But it wasn't like we are doing this until that morning.  But probably were like, well this is being discussed and this is being so let's go to her and we'll play.  Because you know, Michie is the hero.

Jess: Yeah and that's like how I feel like he has been treating,...  You know when he talked to you in the have not room.  You know when I talked to you in the have not room and I was like Nicole's very like confused because Holly and Michie were keep on saying they are not voting Bella out.  They were asking Nicole what she was gonna do as if she was gonna be like the person who was gonna flip everything.  I feel like she has been in these positions where people want her to take this big step and she feels like she is being set up everywhere. (bunch of this was done with her head tilted down in some scowling look for some reason)

Christie then goes on to ask Jess if she know Kat already knew about the flip and they told he to not flip to stay as a mole.  

Jess didn't believe that and that she would have never voted against Cliff. 

Christie then claims they were never really allowed to talk to Kat on their own (as if Michie and Holly made them go through them to Kat).

9:32PM BBT Michie: f' Veto.  Why do they wait so late at night.  (Because people have to go to DR for so long after)

Holly: I am gonna jump in bed and if they have to wake me up, they have to wake me up.

Michie:  We are gonna have to take a few days.

Holly: What?  

Michie: off from plans.  [Pretty sure he is hinting at SEX but she isn't getting it at all - rms]

Holly: We are gonna have to take a few days off from plans?  What do you mean? Scheming?

Michie: (?) impressing my plans.  Because I am gonna be getting called down to the DR

Holly: Oh, what hm? Are you ok?

Michie: It just hurts.  It's like very irritated.

9:33PM BBT Sis comes out laughing with Cliff. 

Christie: what did he do?

Cliff: She's making stuff up.

Sis: (Still laughing) I went into the RV (laughing) I heard someone in there (laugh) and I saw Cliff on the floor under my bed on my side.

Christie: What did you try to do?

Cliff: It may be, what DID I do?

Christie: I am trying to think what you could do to you,...

Cliff: I have a couple of things I can do.

Christie brings up her face wash, you could mess with that, ...  

Cliff says I don't want to mess with that.  We had a saying in college, There is a fine line between Reda$$ and dumba$$ and you done called it.  Sometimes you don't even have to do the prank, just make them think you did.  They end up checking for things, makes them paranoid.

9:41PM BBT Michie telling Cliff in the TBR what he heard Sis, Christie and Jess saying.  He practically quotes Sis saying her never saying a bad word comment.  Then also something from the RV.  They said it is a really good poker face to say that we are all good.  

Cliff heard that.

Michie says he never lied to Christie and he never lied to Sis.

Cliff says he didn't hear that from Christie but did from Sis.

Michie: I told Sis when she was up there. I want you to hear it directly from the horses mouth, not hearsay.  I don't want to see you go home.  I need you to have some blind faith and trust me.  Whatever happens might piss some people off but I don't want you to go through the door.  However she took it is on her.

Cliff: Being a pawn is part of this game.  If there ever was a pawn that was not going home in this game, its her.

Michie: Also, I tried to water under the bridge Christie and Sis.  I hear them saying they have no-one and this and that (the derogatory comments from the other night about not winning comps, vetos, they have no-one,..)  and that nixed it for me.

Cliff: I did hear Christie telling Sis to come and talk to you and try to smooth some of this out.  

Michie backs up and opens the door to see who is outside.  It was Holly in the dresser. [Gotta stay alert! - rms]

They all smile about it a bit.

When you all came inside and we were talking about doing the pranks.  Christie says Sis is so upset. Cliff responded to her that we will see if these pranks may help a bit.  Christie says Sis is all upset and she wants to calm her down.  If she stays this angry, she will make herself a giant target going forward.

Holly comes in and Michie has Cliff tell her, too.

[PoPTV code: UNDE9ABLE  - rms]

9:17PM BBT Christie speculating on why he was in the America's Field trip with Jess and Sis on couch still.

Jess says she sometimes sees this game as a choose your own adventure book.  She explains it is a book that somewhere in the book it asks you which way you want the person to go, right or left.  Then, it tells you which page to go to.  

Christie and Sis haven't heard of them.

They discuss some examples in the game like if someone hadn't won a veto, etc.

Jess says She basically blames me for ruining her relationship with (?)

Sis and Christie both flip their right hands up with palms up in the WTF move.  

They all laugh because they did the same thing at the same time.

9:23PM BBT Christie saying that They didn't align themselves back with someone who was "dragging" them basically.  Mad at you but not mad at themselves for speaking the information about someone that never spoke a word about her.

Sis says, I never said one bad ever when I could've, I really could've. Never said one bad thing because that's not me.

[You seem to forget all the bad things you say, though. - rms]

9:29PM BBT Michie talking to Holly on couch in BY.  

Holly says she wants to go to bed when it gets to the sh*t talking portion of the conversation so they can talk louder.  I don't want them to have to bite their tongues.

Michie says It just makes him nervous that they are gonna sit there and potentially make up lies or spin things and make us look bad.

Holly: They are gonna.

Michie: And people believe it.  That's what scares me is if Jess believes it or other people believe it.

Holly: That's why I am nervous that Jess is over there.  That's what I was saying.  She is easily swayed.

Michie: That's why I put both of them up to put people in this position.

Holly: I know.  I just don't want her going back on her deal and going after one of us because of something one of them say.

Bob: Multiple times in past few minutes, You are not allowed to talk about production.

Holly: If anything, let them talk, let them bitch, maybe people believe stuff or maybe it makes them look bad.  If they want to say sh*t, they are gonna says it.  If not now, in the RV at bedtime.  What are they gonna say, what do they have against us?  I have never said I would put Jess up.  The only person I said I would put up is Nicole and she already knows that.

Michie: I made sure to not say she was not going up on the block.  I said trust me on blind faith.  I don't see you going.

Holly: Who approached who in the conversation when we all said we are all good in the (?).  

Michie: Me

Holly: Was I there? Or was it you and them?

Michie: It was me, Sis, Chris and Tommy.  I'll own that, because I did.  At the time I was trying to flush it and move on with people who burned me multiple times.  Trying to give it one more chance and also trying to not have people gunning for me when I apparently were on my own.  BUT, little did I know they already had a deal worked out to throw it so they wouldn't have to be the ones to take a shot at me.  They wanted the shot to be taken.

Holly: Did you hear me, kind of caught Tommy today as he said.  That deal turned out to be the worst f'n thing ever.  I said, why, because Jackson won.  

Sis called to DR

9:00PM BBT Christie, Sis and Jessica on BY couch.  Jessica and Christie eating ice cream.

Sis begging for BB to give them yet more powers.  

Jess: Are you guys not talking to Holly?

Christie not letting that deter her talking, "No, I'm not not talking to her, but, there's nothing to talk about."

Sis: I am just a little upset in my own way.

Christie: "I'm not upset because I expected it. (smack, smack)  I think she has more of a right to be upset. But, (insert ice cream, Smack, see food, mouth full as she says) It is what it is there's nothing to really talk about, (Smack, slop, squish, see food) I'm not talking here and now (mouth still full) when there's something to discuss.  But what is there to talk about?"

Jess: She wanted to go up there and apologize to you.  Did she apologize?"

Christie: Go up where?  When I was crying? No.  But I came down when called (?) and she apologized to me.  I said it was fine. No worries.

Jess: I'm cold.

Sis: You are eating ice cream and it is a little chilly out.

[BB, here's a tip, quieter mugs, bowls, utensils, for the sake of ALL live feeders! - rms]

4:51PM BBT Sis and Christie in the CBR praying to BoB to shake it up. Give them something. There hasn’t been any twists. [Didn’t Christie have a power, duh! AND didn’t we JUST HAVE America’s Field Trip.  - rms]

Sis and Christie are in the CBR grilling Jess on what Michie (?) or Cliff said to her.

Christie says there are deal makers and...  seems like maybe Cliff.  But he just said he apologized that he didn't include her.

[PoPTV code: BROMANCE - rms]

11:30PM BBT More Jess, Sis, Christie...

11:40PM BBT Cliff is now up.  People look to be thinking about getting to sleep.   Most said they would go to bed at 10PM, oops.

Cliff was the only one who did even close.

People drop into CBR to say goodnight.

11:44PM BBT More Christie, Sis, Jess,...

[Orwell is the best, GN - rms]

Michie says very plainly, I want Christie gone.  The people I thought wouldn't would be Nick or Tommy and even they would rather keep Sis than Christie.  That tells me the entire house wants her gone.  So why has she not seen the f'n block, yet?  Why has no one put her up?  

Holly: It also does worry me, though, their loyalty to Sis.  How fierce it is.

Michie:  It's not even necessarily that.  I feel like they are recognizing that Christie is a big threat and that she needs to go.  They are choosing Sis over Christie.  I don't necessarily think it is unwavering loyalty to Sis.  Honestly, I would rather go up against Sis than Christie in comps.

Holly: Especially if she is spiraling like Tommy says.

Michie:  If we take her (Sis) legs out from underneath her and get Christie out of here. She really doesn't have many people left to cling onto.  Christie is the nucleus of this house and I want to remove it.  Just straight up cut it out, extract it, gone.

I've been waiting 8 weeks.

11:05PM BBT  Tommy tells Nick that I tried to take the target off of Sis (If Christie takes herself off).  

Nick says I told Jack straight up I would take care of Sis.  This is what I am scared of, who would he put up if he wants Christie out.  

Tommy says it won't be me because he told me.

Nick says Sis told me to take Christie off if I won.  It's not gonna work though.  It's only me and you he can put up next to her to make her go out.  

Tommy says he can put up other people.

Nick says she will never go out next to them. 

Tommy says I won't go up, he told me.  Holly wants Sis back, they both do.

Nick says that Sis said you don't want Cliff or Nicole to go.  He said listen, my allegiance is to Nicole, Sis and Tommy. I love Cliff but he doesn't have my full allegiance.  Listen, he wouldn't have the votes to stay.  If he went up, he would only have 3 votes and Michie would have to break the tie.

Tommy says he is not going up, he all but got his word.

Tommy says he is loyal to Clevo(?) still. 

Nick says if Christie wins, I'm scared.  Sissy too.  

Tommy: If Christie wins, Sis will go home.  They will want to get rid of one of our numbers.  He probably made deals with them.

They both say they will gun for it and then check who his replacement will be.

Nick says if he says you would be then I wouldn't use it.

Tommy wouldn't want Nick to go up either.  He says if you or I win, we should both go in and talk with Michie.

11:19PM BBT Nick says it sucks this is a bad spot for us.

Tommy says, no, it's fine.  Here's the thing.  They got themselves in this position.

Nick: I didn't think Sis was going up at all.

Tommy: Not me either, but I get it.  It's the best way to make sure Christie is going home.

Nick: I know it makes perfect sense.

Tommy: Both of them were very vocal about it.  They didn't play smart.  Even if you feel that way, you don't vocalize it.

If Christie stays up, more speculation on who he might put up.  

Tommy says he will tell Jackson that we are good, why would you put me up.

Nick says, I am good with him, too.  If you won and he wanted Christie out, who else would he put up.  The only one who gets her out is me or you.

Michie says, what's up.  (Tommy mouths something.)  Then Michie goes in TBR?

Tommy says he almost wants to get him right now and talk it out.

Michie comes back out and sits with Tommy and Nick in the room outside the RV.

Sis is listening at the RV door.

They speculate on when the DE is gonna be.

10:45PM BBT Christie tells Jess that I know I can't rely on anyone to use it on me.  I know I am the target.  I am sure Michie cut deals to make sure that everyone votes they way he wants them to vote.

Jess interrupts her, Actually I just talked to Michie and said I want you to do whatever is best for your game.  He didn't tell me not tu use it.  I prefer them to stay the same but if you are planning on using it it is your game. 

Christie: He wants me gone, (Starts crying) I have to win it on my own.  It sucks that.  It just sucks.  I have to keep reminding myself it's a game.  I won't ask anyone to play for me.  A part of me would love to be like Cliff I f'n kept your ass.  So you did (?) not play for me but I won't.

She says she doesn't know if she comes down, who would go up in my place then?  I would have thought Nick would have been up.

Jess says, really? No, I'm almost positive he has something with them for a long time now.  Even when he was on the block they were having meetings together.  

Christie says that Kat told me before she left that they were working together. Michie and Holly are working with Nick.  

Jess: I'm almost positive.

Christie: and Nicke threw that HoH

Jess nods her he'd yes really big.  He has been playing both sides.  That's why I told you he was never gonna vote Jackson out.  NEVER.

Christie: Nick's good at this game. He has everyone.  He has Cliff.  He has Tommy.

Jess: When I was talking to him about who he was putting up he didn't tell anybody anything.  BUT I wasn't expecting you guys because a deal was made.  Nick was the one who put it all together. So why? It's not personal then (..?)  personal in this game? I'm sorry? I don't see you guys as a threat.  [Because you are blind, Jess - rms]

10:57PM BBT Michie is practicing his speech to someone in the HoH with Holly.  He says, ... (I don't want) to put someone else up and ask you to vote against Christie versus someone else.  I don't want you to have to jeopardize you're game and I feel like putting you on the block it eliminates any doubt and potentially saves you a jury vote by having to vote against someone that.  You are saying you want to respect my HoH and you want to respect my wishes.  My HoH and my wishes are that I want Christie gone.  Unless you feel comfortable voting against Christie if she is up against Nicole or Cliff then that's fine but I don't think you would and I think it would be best if you were up next to her. I know I have the votes to get Christie out of here.

Holly, If Nick were to win and take Sis off.  Or do you think you could get him to guarantee to vote Christie off.

Michie: I don't want to risk it.  All it takes is Christie getting into some peoples ears and Cliff or Nicole goes home and Christie stays and I am stuck with Christie and Sis here with Tommy and Nick.  

There are only 4 people who are potentially gonna be on the block, Tommy, Nick, Sis or Christie.

[ Someone is serious about Big Brother now! - rms]

Holly destroyed his concentration as she tied a bow on her head.

10:20PM BBT Tommy in bed in the TBR with Nick and Sis. Nick keeps rubbing Sis' arm.  Tommy starts scratching the hay and Nick and Sis wonder if something is in the hay.  They make a bunch of noise as Cliff is trying to sleep.  

10:24PM BBT Michie is on the Balcony and yells down to Nicole about what letters are hard to see in her note.  Nicole is making a Happy Birthday card with Fruit Loops.  Jess and Holly are watching at the DT.  He says if you are gonna make the effort, may as well see it on the camera.

They all talk about when they cried the past couple of days, ...

10:32PM BT Christie talking to SIs in the CBR.  She says she has to have faith.  She is leaving the personal sh*t in the past. It's like why I got myself in this position.  Stay really calm.  I have to see it.  It really is all up to me.  I can't rely on anyone. She doesn't even know who she would pick with HG choice.  She knows no-one will use it.

Holly is outside in the dresser by the door.  They hear her and change to whispering quieter.  

I am clearly the target.  The only person she thinks might use it is Tommy.  

Sis says for Christie to just tell her who she should choose.  

Christie says she should probably still pick Nick.  Even if she is off the block, she could be one vote for her (Christie).  And I will pick Tommy.

Sis wants her to be safe because she thinks she can rally votes.

10:39PM BBT Holly pokes her end in and says Hi.  Sis says Hola, good night.  Holly says Buena Noche then asks if it is Italian.  Christie says Buonanotte is Italian. Noche is spanish.  Holly said, that's what I thought.  I was saying it earlier. Now I feel really stupid.

Nicole comes in, grabs some stuff and leaves.

Christie says, How does she (Holly) not feel bad?  I mean maybe she does.  Sis says, I really believe she would say sorry guys, I had had no idea.  Christie says if I really had no clue I would come in here and say I am so sorry, I had no idea, you will see it on TV I had no idea.  (Christie gives the door the double bird.)  [Well, you left the personal sh*t out of it a whole 7 minutes!  Wow! - rms]

Sis says but then she was out there laughing with Jess, like WTF!!  God, I f'n hope we both stay so we can f'n go at them.

Tommy goes back to trying to spin the comment he thinks they may have heard that "the whole reason that Kat needed to go was to weaken you guys."  That wasn't ever true.  It was because she was connected to everyone.  

Michie repeats what he heard that they needed to get Kat out to "disarm them."

Tommy then continues his spin, it was like because people were voicing that you guys were the outsiders that week.  

"Which again like then I was like please don't like try and hang out with people like I am hearing like that like I like I always try and give my hints like I really like ,.... "   (Note that Holly said "Uh, hmm", "yep", "yeah", "you did" several times during just this long series of likes)

[People in this house need to come up with a LIKE ratio.  When THIS MANY show up in a sentence or two, someone is creating cover with lies. Also, shut up and LISTEN!  You learn a LOT!  Don't keep providing positive feedback WHILE he talks.  - rms]

10:05PM BBT  Holly: I felt guilty because I had a hand in her (Kat) going.  When Christie and Sis were like, obviously Kat has to go because we have to disarm them.  That was like their motive, getting rid of Kat was a shot at us, first Kat and then them.  Someone was dying with a sword that was aimed at me.

They repeat the part that they don't win comps, vetos, ...

Michie says that confirms he truly does not have either of them.  That ended any chance of them reconciling.

Tommy says he told them downstairs that honestly he gets the noms.  He thinks that you guys were too vocal.  If you felt that way, it shouldn't have been voiced.  Jackson didn't sign up for 6th place in this game.  He didn't sign up for 5th place.  Why would he continue to stand by us when he knows that he would be the first one taken a shot at if we were to get down to it.

Michie says, I don't know when I might get to win HoH again. I would be an idiot.  It is wasting an opportunity.

Tommy says and other people want one fo these numbers to go anyway so you are making other people happy.

Michie: It is a shot that a lot of people, I feel like, wouldn't take, yet.  If it's not taken yet, it's a game.  

Tommy said, it will go that way.  Selfishly, I am a little sad but it's alright.

Holly said, I think it is an inevitable move anyway.  Like i figured ...

Michie interrupts her (RUDE).  They are both strong and we are getting...

           Holly continues mumbling a bit as he talks, not from us. I am saying from someone else it is.

... to the point if one of the noms stays here a few more weeks, it's her game, in the bag. They are both good.

Tommy says he thinks he could have seen himself making the same move if he was him.  

Tommy says he is gonna fight for Sis tomorrow.

Tommy claims Sis was the only person he included in all of his plans last week.

Holly said she was more hurt hearing Sis said that.

Tommy: I get it.  I was shocked when I heard it, too.  You two are my closest allies and you are in the room doing sh*t like that's like.  I don't f'n play like that.

Holly says she gets that Jess put some stuff in their heads.  Jess came up to her and apologized.  She says I was trying to make a point and I used you as a generalization.  

Tommy doesn't even know or if he needs to really know.  

Holly: The one thing was when Nicole said the thing about Cliff.  Nicole was crying about it and Holly was just in the room.  (Was about Sis and Christie laughing at Cliff when he was having trouble moving in a comp.)

10:14PM BBT Michie says he is willing to sit with Sis and explain that he doesn't want her to go home.

Tommy says Sis is having a really hard time in general. Sis isn't herself.  Between Jack, the Chicken, the eggs,...

Michie: She went from being on cloud 9 for 50 days to Jack leaving, getting punished, then Christie was on the block, and now she is nom'd next to Christie and sh*t has been hitting the fan for 2 weeks.

Tommy says he is bringing it up like she is not playing like her normal self.  It is out of character for her to be like this and saying that stuff.

Michie says Christie is Sis' Jack 2.0.

9:30PM BBT Nick is up with Michie and Holly in HoHr.  

Nick says he assumes Christie is gonna pick not me, probably Tommy.  

Michie says he would pick Holly.  Sis would probably pick Nick.  He just hopes his chip gets picked because it's different if the player picked him.  If he was picked by someone, he would feel like he sold use it.  

Michie is ok if he uses it on Sis.  Michie says to just play his game.

Nick says he doesn't want to f' you over too.  If Sis does come off it could be hard for you to get, ... um, yeah.

Michie says if Sis comes off, he doesn't want to put someone up that screws Nick.  There are so many people he can select.  One that is close to Cliff and one with Nick.

Nick asks each of them if they win will they keep it the same.  They both said yes.  They have told HoHs that they will honor their noms before.

Nick says it's weird because I am in between things.  He is trying to get in the least awkward position.

If Christie picks me, I may not try too hard.  If he (Tommy) is in there, he might win and I don't want to go up.

Michie says ideally, if you win, i would prefer you not use it and keep them the same but if you use it, I would prefer it be on Sis.

9:44PM BBT Tommy is now in the HoHr talking with Michie and Holly.  He selfishly wishes they would all be together but he understands.  Tommy says he doesn't know why his name would have been included.  He only says things and he is loyal to his people.  He only would say things if you are not in the room that you would be great hearing.

Michie clarifies it by saying you speak as if the person is in the room.  He ducks out to cut watermelon.  

Tommy wanted to talk to Holly because they are kind of in the same boat.  

She says she felt weird going into the RV room after noms but felt like she needed to talk to them.  

She explains she has respected peoples HoHs and their noms.  She talks about the different examples.  Also that she even told Jess if she won the Veto, she would have left them the same while Jackson was on the block.  She alludes to things Jackson heard directly while he was outside a room that was personal things about Holly.

Tommy says, you want people to play the way you play sometimes.  Keep your f'n mouth shut.  First, I don't know why you feel that way.  Second, if you do, why voice it.  Everything you say in this house you should be ok with that person hearing it  That's how I operate in this house.

Holly repeats some of what they said, they have nobody,  they don't win comps, they don't win vetos.  Dissing our personal lives, our gameplay.  Why do you think I fought so hard yesterday. It is hurtful.  I want to make amends with these girls.  I don't want them to have hate towards me. I don't want them to keep being mean.  I would like to salvage a friendship and gameship.  That was my thought last night.  Then Jackson put them on the block.

9:51PM BBT Michie talking to Jess at DT.  There are a lot of people in a lot of tricky spots  I had to do what I had to do.  

Jess says if i didn't come up and ask what was going on it's because I completely understand and respect what you are gonna do.

Michie, All I wanted to do was to make sure I have your vote.  I have your back.  

Jess signs, I love you poppy.  Then she says it and they laugh.

9:52PM BBT Holly and Tommy in the HoHr.  Holly says the details of the deal kind of decided who had to go up.

Tommy asks if he can tell her the details of the deal are.  They were throwing that comp because they didn't want to be the ones to put you on the block. ...

[Can someone check this in rewind.  I would like Tommy's interpretation of the details. - rms]

9:55PM BBT  Michie is now in the HoHr too and says, if you win, I would prefer if you take someone off that it would be Sis.

No part of me wants Sis to go.  He says the reason she is up there is it is the best chance of ensuring the other goes.  We only have 6 votes being cast.

Tommy agrees, that's one vote taken away and a vote added.

Michie: WTF is that? (Bug) 

Tommy says they fall from the ceiling.  They aren't bed bugs.

Michie continues saying he didn't want to put up Christie and Cliff and have the chance she comes down and then has to put up Sis because it looks like he backdoor'd Sis.  Michie says he doesn't want Tommy on the block.  He won't put him up.  His issues with Chris are not issues with him.

Michie says he puts his trust in people who haven't given him a reason not to.

9:00PM BBT Michie in HoHr talking to Cliff and Nicole.  Michie says the sides came to be over the past 60 days.  I could've tried to fix things with them but to be honest, I've been burned and thrown to the mud so I didn't even want to give it a shot.  I have wanted to work with you both for a while, especially now more than ever.

Cliff responds, I'll say this, knowing we have been on the outside for a while, bottom feeders is how it has been described.  I think you will find the loyalty from us that you may not find from other areas.  

Holly;  I have said to both of you at times that I wanted to play with people I respect.  If I am gonna lose, I want to feel good about it.

Michie and Nicole interject agreeing.

Holly: I didn't want to make false promises.  I didn't want to say too much.  I have always seen you as people I wanted to work with if it worked out that way and we all ended up still here.

Michie says that in his speech he sees it as individual games at this point.  After veto we will revisit more.  He will voice a preference and if it is usually beneficial, then great but if it's not I am not gonna hold that against you.  He want people to make decisions best for their game  He believes there are common denominators for everyone that will benefit all of our games, without sacrificing our games.  That's what he wants to do this week is right some wrongs and fix some things he felt needed to be fixed.  He wants to go forward with people he respects.  That he wants to be around and work with.  He wanted his actions to match his words today.

Cliff says his justifications he gave out today in his Nom speech were spot on.  Nicole agrees, so well stated.  (Heard this earlier from others as well.)  After Veto, we will revisit.  I feel your preference and mine may be the same.  

Michie put up 2 people that are from the deal and it takes the blood off their hands.  If one was in the deal and other isn't they would be put on the spot.

Cliff and Nicole said you made it very easy.

Michie says we have the next 3 or four weeks before it really gets crazy.  After then we just get down to it. 

Until then, let's group together and take some shots.

Cliff wants to go down and not stay up any more.

Nicole says I love you.  I know I don't speak much.

They laugh.  

Holly says she loves her more and more she gets to know her.

Nicole leaves.

Cliff says, Jackson, I fully realize you didn't have to go this direction.  There are other approaches you could have taken.  I appreciate your loyalty in me and I wouldn't not pay it back.

Michie says he has voiced his frustration and where I stood for weeks now to people inside this house and outside of it.  I wouldn't have much respect for myself if I didn't practice what I preach and stick by the things that I have said I wanted to do.  I was given the opportunity to do it and I have to do it.  I wanted to do it at the same time.  It's high risk, high reward.  We came to play big brother so let's do it.

Cliff, I don't mind taking big shots.

Michie, I know you do and that's why I love you so much.

Michie says, there's 2, we got Jess, there's 3.  We gotta maintain good relationships with Tommy and Nick.  That's 4,5 (points at holly and himself) 6,7 and  Christie and SIs are 8 and 9.

Holly says she feels good about that but we need to make sure Nick doesn't get in Nicole's head. That's my only concern with that.  What if he gets in her head more than Cliff and Jess.

Michie says Cliff and Jess,  at same time.

Holly says Cliff has been her number 1 since the beginning.

Michie: I know, that's why I wanted them both up here at the same time so we all hear the same thing at the same time.  Christie and Sis will both be fighting and only 1 of 6 can win.  He thinks Nick will not use it but Tommy will.  He will probably on Christie.  Michie says he made the point to them that whoever they use it on, the other will be pissed and they will lose a jury vote.

9:25PM BBT Sis and Christie in the CBR.  Sis says she will be so bored if you left.  Christie says, hey if I go, at least I can baby sit Jack and Kat.  Sis says don't say that, it makes me nervous.  She says if he wants to do it, go ahead.  She is just worried they would keep it a secret.  Tell me, don't make me look stupid.

[ Orwell is SAVAGE!  Kat says, "I tell it like it is and I am also fun with 2 n's!"  Orwell replies, "I also tell it like it is.  You're DONE with 1 n!  You're Booted!" - rms]

4:58PM BBT Cliff telling Nicole in the SR that we aren't in an alliance, it was a one week deal.  Tommy insisted it wasn't an alliance.

Feeds are back

This is probably ALSO nap time at the kitty kennels.  As usual, though, the kitties ignore that and are going NUTS!

4:52PM BBT KITTY NOSE CAM!

As a well travelled, seasoned kitty selector, these are TOP NOTCH!  Anyone looking for a kitty, all 4 of these will be excellent!

This is the most activity all day.  Blackie and Tabs are going after the yellow mouse in the ring of DEATH!  

Blackie has moved on to the PVC pipe tower, but Tabs was still after that dad gum mouse.  Well Tabs couldn't help herself, she had to check out the PVC tower too, and now they have started chasing each other.

On the puppy front, Trooper and Ole Yellar are cleaning the lease with their noses.  Ole Yellar has shown some interest in the stuffed tiger but it is hanging in there tough.  Lots of interest to something outside of the cage behind the camera.

Trooper has decided that standing on the camera is a good idea so we get a good shot of his/her healthy front leg muscles.  He's wagging his tail.  Really enjoys climbing up on the camera wall/

Back to Tiny Tater a black kitten going to town on the hanging mouse.  WHOA! Here goes Speckles chasing a ball straight into the camera! Splotches has taken over the hanging mouse hunt and Tiny Tater is also back at it.

Speckles is now on the mouse hint with Tiny tater clearing the ball out from the bed.  Tottles, Tater's brother appeared from no where and has taken off after that ball.

Speckles and Tiny Tater are all over the low rent PVC and the High end wood towers now.  Tottles has invaded the PVC and Speckles chases him off.

Speckles is taking a good look at the High end wood tower.  Possible buyer on hand!  She may prefer it over the PVC.

Tiny Tater comes in with a competing offer, and then a buyer war begins.  Now they both are after the PVC tower and all hell breaks loose.  They take the bidding war all over the room.

Speckles is now climbing up the kennel gates for a higher view.  is out of sight up on the top.  An occasional paw heads down at the mouse wire to try to disrupt Tottle's attempts of taking out that damn wired mouse.  He must have been a programmer in a previous life!  HATES the WIRED mouse!

Tiny Tater has taken up residence on the PVC tower.  Now Speckles has returned to fight it out over them.

Tottles and Splotches are all over the bed chasing the balls now,

Well off we go to the Chocolate triplets.  Ganache is pretty tired and sleeping on the blue towel.  Dutch was poking around the camera but has also tired out and joined Ganache on the blanket.  Cocoa is drinking some water.  Now, checking out the camera.  Off to the food dish and back to his siblings to join them on what must be the most comfortable towels on EARTH.

Well, 3 was over capacity so Cocoa went back to an elevated PVC bed and now Dutch decided to check into the Carrying Case Hotel.

4:40PM BBT Obviously interrupting nap time in this Kennel.

Back to Tottles and Tiny Tater.  Well, it appears Speckles and Splotches won the bidding war for the towers. They are on guard in their respective towers.  Tottles and Tiny tater take a run at them but are REJECTED!  This is turning into the Battle of Winterfell!  Quite the Game of Homes!  

Wow, Tottle has REALLY had ENOUGH of this wired mouse!  He's opening a can of whoop-ass on it!

3:47PM BBT SIs is out of her chicken suit.  All day has been just waiting around for Noms.  (May have been at 3PM she got called.)

Nick is holding Travis!  He's back or a new one is here!

4:00PM BBT Cliff notes from bed outside CBR saying he is just a regular guy and he's now been in the house 59 days.

Says hi to Sharon Kelly Daniel, then on to extended family names.

4:06PM BBT Jackson is called to DR downstairs, Time for noms? [FINALLY! Why is this so late? to make it easier on the expected noms? - rms]

Puppy and Kitten Cam!  Nom Time!

1:19PM BBT Sis melting down to Tommy and Christie in CBR saying how hard this is.  It's way harder.  They are locked inside twice as much as she thought they would.  She thought they would be outside more.  She says she isn't scared because she feels good with everyone but it's hard.  She doesn't normally have drama in her life.  She doesn't surround herself with fake people.  [Filtered out a LOT of f' words. - rms]

Christie goes on and on about some things that hurt her feelings.  How she thought they had such good talks but then she heard things.  She said it didn't bother her enough to come say something.  I see through so much in this house.  I see people jumping from room to room saying you're good, you're good, you're good.  

Michie said he is not fake and he would rather separate himself than have to be fake.  I don't like fake  I hate it and see through it.

Christie 100 f'n percent, 100 f'n percent. I feel like you are here for a game.   You have to stay cool with everyone, right your wrongs when you wronged them.  But I also don't whatever.  I think there is a degree when it becomes like excessive, and I just.  I can't,.. Whatever, It literally doesn't matter,...  yeah, I just see, whatever... It literally doesn't matter.  [Wow, She's channeling Kat!  Impressive! - rms ]

She says if he hears something, please come talk to her to make sure it is what was said.  She is very cautious as to what she says.  

He says you don't say much at all anyways.  He tells her on a personal level he trusts her.  He done's have her on his radar.  He says what is best for my game right now is not you walking out the door.

Sis is wondering why Cliff said he was gonna put Sis, Christie or Tommy up after Jack's week.  

Michie asked who came up with the deal with Cliff.  Sis says she was talking with Nick about needing to have a deal with Cliff to protect her from a double.

She confirmed Cliff didn't come up with the deal.

11:05PM BBT Christie comes in to talk with Michie.

He liked how Tommy handled his HoH.  He internalized everything one on one.

Christie said all the fighting that happened the past couple of days,...  Not that I am giving up, I am so surrendered to this game.  Everything is he said she said. She play with her everything with her emotions and everything on the line.  She feels she did that so much the first half of the game.  She feels your words are gonna be so misconstrued. She is "so sick of seeing everyone do it behind the scenes."   I can't continue to be like who I am because it's so strong.  Everyone is swindling here, swinging there.  I see the he said she said.  I see people playing both sides.  She sees people trying to create division.  It's literally sucking at my soul.  

Michie says it's like you can only stay true to yourself or the game, not both.  Then he describes a game of telephone.  He said going into this HoH, he had to be in this bed or would have been on the block.  

She feels the deals that were made weren't necessarily to be after you but there were only so many left.

[I have to guess Cliff only promised to not put people up in his deal and it didn't apply towards voting.  I can't rewind.  - rms]

10:38PM BBT Michie meeting with Nicole.  He says I am gonna do the most talking with you and Cliff.  You are the only ones I have questions for.  If you go up it will only be because I know you are safe.  There are only 6 votes and I break a tie.  I do not want to see you or Cliff going home on my HoH.

Nicole apologizes for being emotional yesterday.

Michie says, no, don't.  I wanted to step in but couldn't because he is already public enemy number one.  He is not an emotional person but that doesn't mean you can't be emotional around me.  You can ask Holly, I am mush inside.  He wants to be sure that he and Holly are not on your radar next week.  He wanted to accomplish 3 things: 1) That I we are not on your radar going into next week, 2) you will not be going home this week, and 3) that I have your vote. He also wants to talk about further weeks.

10:58PM BBT SIs is in talking to Michie now.  He isn't telling people much before noms but will explain more after noms.

10:15AM BBT Cliff talking to Michie in HoH clarifying the deal and that it only was for one week of safety.  It was done in anticipation of a possible DE.  Cliff wanted hi to know Cliff didn't bring the deal to them, it was brought to him.  Cliff also said, and Michie said Jack confirmed it, that he turned down 4 weeks of safety so he could work with Michie later.

Michie says the first half of this game he feels like he has been playing someone else's BB.  He wasn't able to play his game.  He had to listen to others and was told what to do, ...  He says he wants to work with Cliff and Nicole and potentially Jess and Holly.  

Cliff guarantees he will vote the way Michie wants him to vote.  Cliff says if Nicole is up there, he would have a hard time voting her out  

Michie says good, she won't be going up.  He doesn't want to pussy foot around in this game.

He doesn't want to regret later not taking a shot when he wants to take one.  

Cliff says he agrees.  He did that week 4.  He said Nicole and I can help on that front.

Michie says there are people he wants to remove in the game that will be beneficial for his game.  He says his nominations won't pull on his heart and won't have to break a deal.  

Cliff says, you play your game.  I am a big boy.

Michie says I don't want you gone.  

Cliff says you own my vote this week.  

9:38AM BBT Holly telling Michie in HoHr that she wants to make sure they have Cliff, Jess, Nicole on their side at the end of this week. michie says he just wants Christie out at end of this week. 

Tommy is in WA. Nick is looking for Windex.  Cliff is also down in KT/DT but started looking for Windex for Nick in SR. 

Wow, Holly is trying to equate pairs of people in the house who have each other’s backs to showmances but only missing one thing. 

Holly calls this the  season of serendipity and the house of Hypocrisy.

Michie says he knows all the words to all the songs on this album. Holly says she knows. You are gonna be on the block on your own HoH. [BoB punishments for singing I have to assume - rms]

Apparently, BoB was also giving bunch of wake ups and lights on calls. 

Tommy came up and he says he doesn’t know who was gonna put them up because he says everyone he knows were gonna throw the comp. [Yea, sure they were. - rms]

Tommy claims now that getting Kat out was about you two. It wasn’t, it was about her being good with both sides. 

Michie gave his reason he won’t be putting Tommy up but i missed it. 

The game talk got sidetracked by Michie showing them he got something they didn’t know or see or maybe was late. Then Holly critiqued the order he had placed stuff in and told him the order the colors should be. 

They rehash some of the names and groups that were tossed around. Who warned whom about what.  

9:54AM BBT Apparently, Michie told him during the middle of the comp he wasn’t gonna put Tommy up. 

1:51AM BBT Michie asks Cliff to come by earlier rather than later. Cliff says he gets up early so he will. Michie didn’t want to be up late and risk being called into DR. 

Holly sees the Shepherd pie without a cover in fridge. Michie says we live with animals. [Again, another pot, kettle moment tonight. - rms]

1:57AM BBT More penis talk. [Wow, such children! -rms]

Now Jess said she broke up with someone because his balls hung too low and swung.  She mimics how it hing and sounded. 

[i am GONE!!!!  Gn -rms]

1:05AM BBT  people left HoHr. Jess stayed behind and recapped with Michie and Holly the past day. 

Lots of rehashing what was said by Jess about Holly. 

1:30AM BBT Holly and Michie trying to decide if he should backdoor Christie or put her straight up. He wants Christie out. Now he says he will put Cliff up to take his vote out of play. He thinks part of the deal was to target Michie. 

Holly starts trying to get him to talk to Cliff before deciding. She says if they are siding with Jess and Nicole, she sure would like Cliff.
