With final four finally here, alliances are crumbling.
The time: the day before HOH.
The place: the Big Brother dining room.

The plan: a house meeting to the death.
Nicole gets to do something shes waited all season for and calls a house meeting.
Tommy welcomes the opportunity to clear his name, though.
It should be easy to tell the truth, right?
His big selling point is that Tommys playing both sides of the house.
Every sentence out of Michies mouth is followed with a headshake by Tommy.
Then Michie starts to say the reason Tommy doesnt win comps is because of jury management.
The whole time Holly is sitting there with her hands on her head.
She utters about five words that are meaningless and then lets Michie keep spinning the story.
I do not think you deserve this money, he spits out.
But Michies plan for piling on the lies and confusing Nicole and Cliff works halfway.
Cliff is still on team Michie.
Nicole, on the other hand, sees straight through Michies lies.
Plus, he sealed his fate when he said, Just own it!
Michie gets involved and tells them theyre putting their faith in the wrong person.
I will lie to Cliff and Nicoles face and not feel bad about it, Michie says in diary.
Tommy hears all this and comes in and it starts another mini-battle.
Just 38 minutes before eviction, Nicole says she doesnt know what to do.
Cliff tells Nicole that he believes her and that he will pay the price if its not true.
We all know what happens next, Tommy gets voted out.
And the HOH comp starts: Its the hanging and spinning around comp.
Its clear Cliff wont hang for long.
She says herself she is at the point in the show where no one should be throwing comps.
As expected, Cliff doesnt last long.
And without too much debate, Holly drops, making Nicole HOH.
After the comp, Cliff makes a final three and a final two deal with Michie.
I love Nicole, but… he says.
Cliff, what would your daughter Kat have to say about this!?
Also, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TAKE JACKSON TO A FINAL TWO!?
So many bad decisions being made all around.
And, honestly, all these bad decisions are just making Jacksons gameplay better.
Like him or not, you have to admit tonights episode was a master class in how to manipulate.
Nicole spotted what he was doingand still voted the way he wanted.
Nicole immediately perks up at this.
She has my same reaction: Why would you willingly take a big threat to final three?
And then she realizes, he doesnt have a final three, he has a finaltwo.
Just wish she could have done that a few hours earlier…
In the end, Nicole puts up Michie and Holly.
It all comes down to Wednesday when they play the most important veto comp of the season.
You better believe Holly isnt going to throw it.
Or maybe she will.
This season has continued to perplex in the most bizarre ways.
