Big Brother 21 — And your new HoH is….

Hi, y’all!

So, I was totally expecting that tonight’s eviction would turn out to be a prank and Julie would announce that they were instead starting the week over but no, that didn’t happen. Instead, despite Nicole’s best efforts to change Holly’s mind and get her to target Christie, Nick was voted out unanimously. In the end, even Nicole went along with the rest of the House and voted for Nick.

And so, Christie survived another week.

As for the HoH comp, it was an endurance comp and it lasted about an hour. It was one of those things where the HGs had stand on a wall and hang on while the wall was tilted forward and back. When the comp started, I was sure that Jackson would be one of the first to fall because the wall comp tends to favor people of a small stature. This really did seem like it was either Nicole or Tommy’s comp to win. In fact, Nicole has been talking about how much she’s been looking forward to the wall comp since she first entered the House.

So, that means Jackson is now HoH and Holly doesn’t even have to find a new bed for the upcoming week. Who will Jackson nominate? Holly is obviously not going to go up. I think Nicole and Cliff are probably safe, unless Jackson decides to use one as a pawn. Jackson and Tommy appeared to be whispering to each other before Tommy fell so it’s possible they made some sort of deal. So, if I had to guess, I would say that Christie and Jessica are going to go up on the block. We’ll find out for sure tomorrow!

Well, Nicole did manage to hold on for a long time. And so did Tommy. And, surprisingly, so did Jackson. Jessica fell first and proceeded to spend the rest of the comp talking about how close she had come to dying while standing on the wall for 20 minutes. Cliff fell 20 minutes later and was immediately followed by Christie. Nicole was looking strong for almost the entire competition but eventually, she did end up falling. After I saw Nicole fall, I was resigned to Tommy winning the comp but, to my surprise, Tommy actually fell off before Jackson.

Finally — next week, we finally have a double eviction! Personally, my hope is that both Christie and Tommy go home on the same night but who knows? We’ll see what happens!
