And as expected Jessica and Kemi are the nominees. Jack blamed Jessica's nomination on her being the house mastermind who created the all-girls alliance. (Jessica may be many things, but a mastermind isn't one of them. Jack's just too dense to realise that.) Jack believes Jessica is the mastermind because Isabella (the Benedict Arnold of the house) told him she was the mastermind. Kemi remains the target for eviction however.

Whoever joins Ovi and David on Minority Island/Camp Comeback will now also be given a Camp Comeback uniform. (Essentially an adult-sized Boy Scout outfit.) I'm not sure if the girl's get a different look or have to wear the same sort of thing.

We should get the picking of the POV players later today and then the POV comp. They've all been told they'll get prizes in the POV comp ranging from a trip to Fiji to cash, to a unitard. Lots of chatter about how much cash it would take to give up the POV with some willing to do so for as little as $5,000. Pretty much everyone wants to compete in the POV comp to get a prize, but only six will. The POV comp is likely tied to Love Island in some manner since it seems like they were shown a clip of the show to whet their appetite.

Elsewhere in the house things are just puttering along. David is getting a better and better feel for where things lie. Ovi is stilll largely oblivious, or pretending to be. Cliff is lying low and trying to protect himself and Nicole. Jackson/Michie/Mickey is still eating anything food-like in the house.

Yesterday we had the Panic Whacktivity comp. No real word on who won yet, but the houseguests were taken one at a time to the set they used for the last Whacktivity comp. Then they were timed as they looked into three tanks of snakes, each tank holding a different type/color of snake, they then had to find a matching snake in one of the other tanks and pair the two snakes together and hit their buzzer. Lots of houseguests bragged about how fast they were (Jack, Jackson and Sam) but all three claim not to have won. Holly said she was pretty fast, but was careful so she wouldn't hurt the snakes then forgot where her buzzer was. (She may have won as she's been caught in some small lies. She said she didn't like snakes then later admitted to using one in a prank. She's talked about killing a snake by cutting its head off with a knife. She may have been the least afraid of snakes in the group.) Tommy has been real quiet, but I'm thinking a NYC based Broadway dancer isn't quite the wildlife expert Holly is. The guys say they did it in around thirty seconds and can't imagine anyone was faster, but maybe, just maybe Holly was. We'll find out tomorrow night.

I'll post back later when the POV players are picked. We know Jack, Kemi and Jessica will be three of the six. Pretty much everyone else in the house is begging to be picked if anyone gets houseguest choice so they can compete for the prizes. Later in the day we should know who the POV winner is. If the Panic prize gets played, it will likely have to happen early today (assuming it's like Ovi's and had to be played the nght after the nominations.) Of course, the word Panic could mean it'll get played at the eviction ceremony to create panic? Maybe cancel an eviction? Who knows. We'll find out tomorrow. Have a good day everyone.

Time for Cliff's notes this morning. He gives his normal shoutouts to his family, friends and feed watchers. Cliff doesn't know who won the comp yesterday, but wished he could have played as he grew up around snakes and handling them. His mom was a science teacher and kept snakes. He suspects Jackson/Michie/Mickey won it, but doesn't know. He says the earthquakes have been exciting for them. He says last night's was bigger and lasted longer. They hid under the dining room table and the back doorway. He hopes it didn't affect people too much. Production had them go over emergency procedures again to be sure they were prepared.

He talks about people trying to communicate with the skywriting and BB moves us back to the sleeping houseguests instead of hearing Cliff. Uh, BB? We already know about the skywriting and even what was written. Now Cliff's back. Cliff says outside influencing goes against the whole spirit of the game. And now we've got fish as they're apparently waking up the house.

The POV players are Jack, Kemi, Jessica, Sam, Isabella and Jackson/Michie/Mickey. The big fight in this HOH comp will be for the trip to Fiji and the cash. No one will like the unitard all that much, though some think it would be fun. So we'll have six prizes in total. The POV, the trip to Fiji, cash, the unitard and two things yet to be discovered. Historically one is a meal of some sort from whatever restaurant chain is advertising on BB. Another prize will be a punishment of some sort. We've seen the kicking the soccer ball, karate chopping stuff, the dog house, pie making, and stuff like that. Maybe a S'mores making punishment? We'll see later.

Nick will be hosting the POV comp. Holly just teased David by saying he looks like a bike cop in his outfit. It sounds like we're still a ways from the POV comp. This will be a group comp as the rest have been told they can watch, so the house is happy about that. The six players won't be individually timed in secrecy for this comp. With them all knowing they'll be on TV they're dressing up more than normal. That'll wear off pretty quickly in the season. Early on they all care about appearance. Midway on they forget about it and go as they are.

Jackson may have won the Whacktivity comp as he's been called to the DR three times so far, and they've told him he'll be back at least one more time.

Jack and Isabella were talking before the POV comp (now going on for about two hours) and I'm not sure how much Jack was just stroking Isabella, but he seemed more inclined to vote out Jessica than Kemi since Kemi's taking the nomination so well while Jessica is now targeting Isabella for ratting out the girls' alliance. He also swore he would win POV to keep it from Jessica, but earlier he'd said he was taking a prize. Jack has pretty much cut Nick and Isabella loose but they don't know it yet. They think they're still part of Gr8ful, but Jack's real alliance is now with the Six Shooters (Gr8ful minus Nick and Isabella.) There's a chance Isabella could go up as a replacement nominee if things play out the right way.

The feeds are back. It sounds like Sam won POV (again.) It sounds like a frog stacking contest where they had to pour water into something to buy time, then find frogs and stack them on their platform. Jackson twisted his ankle and is limping badly. Jack seems determined to vote out Jess now as he's talking to Nick. (Of course, he could be stroking Nick also.) Sam may have somehow also won the trip to Fiji? I'm not sure how that would work. No word on who won the unitard. (If there was one.)

Is it just me or are these comps taking way longer than in previous seasons?

This one was relatively quick at a tick over two hours. The feeds went off around five-thirty and came back a bit after seven-thirty.

The trip to Fiji apparently went to the winner. Jackson's very unhappy with his ankle. He thinks something is seriously wrong with it. That could be interesting. In BB 19 we had Christmas with her broken foot, now maybe Jackson has broken an ankle? Nick and Isabella seem a bit panicky these days.

Something about Holly and Sis that irritate the heck out of me.  All they do is lay all over Jack & Jackson and assume if they latch onto these two losers, they will be safe. Yeah, that’ll get you far.
