Those of us who've invested countless hours of our summers watching Big Brother over the years can surely remember the moments from the live episodes that had us on the absolute edges of our seats. Despite everything we know from watching the live feeds, we don't always know how things are going to go during Thursday's live eviction episode. It's one of the reasons the show has many of us in such a chokehold summer after summer. For as much as we're spoiled by the live feeds, the Thursday episode can result in some exciting, unexpected moments and nail-biting suspense.To use a recent example, remember last season, when Mickey, Morgan and Riley were on the block? Of course you do. Mickey won the Blockbuster, leaving Riley eligible to be evicted. The people scheming to get him out just needed Vince and Ava's votes to ensure he went, and in the case of Ava, it looked like her decision was made as she was literally saying the words "I vote to evict..." Whether or not we get another nail-biter of a vote on Thursday night remains to be seen, but I can already tell I'm going to be on the edge of my seat during the Blockbuster competition, and I can't wait for it. 🛑Big Brother live feed spoilers ahead! I can't talk about Thursday's episode without getting into who won the Veto, whether or not it was used, and what happened during the week (including a wild "tea party" that will go down in BB history, for better or worse). Ok, so here's what we're looking at going into Thursday's episode:Head of Household: KamuVeto Winner: Lyric (she took herself off the block)Nominees: Mallory, Lala (Latrice) and Jason (the replacement nominee. While Jason is a frontrunner to get evicted this week if he doesn't win the Blockbuster, it's Wednesday, and conversations about the voting scenarios among the houseguests are still ongoing. At present, I don't know that I'd say he has a good chance of staying if he's among the two standing nominees once the Blockbuster is won, but anything can happen. Expect the unexpected, etc. Obviously, his best bet to ensure his safety is by winning the Blockbuster competition again, and I really need him to do that. Why I Want Jason To Win Blockbuster Honestly, right now, I don't think Jason is long for this game, even if he does manage to survive the week. I just want to clarify upfront that wanting him to win the Blockbuster is less about hoping he wins the whole season than it is wanting to see the RuPaul's Drag Race contestant come out on top of an otherwise crappy week. Sure, if he does manage to stay, I want to see if he can turn his game around, in which case, I can easily see rooting for him to win, but in the meantime, I just want him to survive this week.Jason Already Had An Uphill Battle Going Into This WeekJason was the backdoor target pretty much from the start, and considering how things have gone for him in the house (including getting called out by Angela during Devens's nomination ceremony), it's not surprising. Though he escaped eviction last week, having won the Blockbuster, and Rome being the primary target, Jason continues to struggle to gain any traction for himself within the game. From what I've been seeing on the live feeds since Thursday, a lot of what he's said to other houseguests about who he wants to target was getting passed around the house and to the HoH. With no credibility to build upon, I think the info he was offering up had more value being shared forward than it did establishing trust.Jason isn't the first houseguest to get called out for playing a messy game, or to get sent out as a result. That part is just how the game goes. It's this week's "Tea Party" that left me fully rooting for Jason to survive Thursday's eviction, if only to spite Kamu. The Tea Party Confrontation Was So UnnecessaryI love a good confrontation in the Big Brother house as much as anyone, but there was nothing entertaining about Kamu's planned and executed monologue calling Jason out during what was otherwise a pretty cheerful party. Under the guise of "clearing the air," in front of the whole house, Kamu repeated things he and Jason had discussed, as well as things he'd heard Jason had said about who he wanted to target. Beyond that, I'm not going to get into the specifics of what happened. You've likely read the updates or watched the clips (including the clip above for Wednesday's episode) if you weren't watching live when it all happened. I'll just say that I thought Jason came out of the ambush better than anyone could've expected, given the situation. While I wish more houseguests had checked in with him afterward, I also understand that it's a game, and at the time, the replacement nominee hadn't officially been locked in. I can see some houseguests maybe not wanting to speak up or approach Jason before the Veto was out of play, for fear of appearing to be taking a side. Hopefully we'll get more honest insights about how the other houseguests felt about the whole thing in the Diary Room segments on Wednesday or Thursday's episodes. He Needs To Win The Blockbuster CompetitionBack to the point, Jason got put on the spot, pretty unnecessarily in my opinion. Call someone out when you want to turn the tables, or throw a Hail Mary to save your game, sure, but there's no reason to pile on or create a spectacle with a houseguest who's already being targeted -- certainly not when you're planning to nominate them for eviction anyway. I hope Jason wins the Blockbuster. I know my heart's going to be racing as that competition plays out. If he doesn't win, I hope he somehow manages to secure enough votes to stay. I'm not sure I'd predict him going far in the game, but people have come back from some pretty rough starts on this show. Regardless, I'd love for him to survive the week after what he went through on Sunday night. The episode is going to be a suspenseful ride no matter what, but if he stays, it'll be a great way to cap off the week, and it'll be interesting to see how he proceeds in the game once things reset with a new Head of Household.
