As a new HOH comes into power, the house divide grows deeper.
Theseason 21houseguests love a Hail Mary house blow-up and I am loving it!
(I only wish this trend had started much earlier in the season.)

So with 18 hours left until eviction, Jessica has a chat with Sis.
She says she knows about the new alliance of six.
Sis says she never agreed to anything like that.
Theres absolutely no alliance being made, she says, lying through her teeth.
Sis is appalled and she goes straight to tell Christie about it.
And, naturally, Holly is standing outside the door listening.
She enters at just the right time and plays dumb.
Do I look like Willie Nelson?
But Sis gets down to business and says shes not a happy camper with her.
As they all discuss whats been said, a crowd starts to gather outside.
Jess decides just to walk straight in and tell them they have an audience.
So Christie, Jess, and Sis relocate to Camp Comeback, where they think no one will eavesdrop.
Holly apparently isnt welcome, but her boy Michie stands outside and listens for her.
Christie promises to Jess on her sisters life that there is no group of six.
Sorry, Christies sister!
But then she does say the plan is to go after Michie, then Holly.
Michie finds Holly in the HOH room and reveals what he heard.
Holly thinks that Jess just blew up her game… but I wouldnt be so sure.
Back at the beer filling comp, Michie is not surprisingly flying through it.
He easily beats everyone despite having to do the comp in his underwear and becomes HOH.
His first instinct is to put Christie and Sis on the block.
And right on cue, Christie and Sis talk about how theyre worried.
Tommy thinks hed be safe because he never (openly) targeted Michie.
Cliff is also a little worried, so he decides to come clean.
Michie says its cowardly making those people do his dirty work.
Cliff says he understands if he needs to go up as a pawn.
In his HOH room, Michie talks through who to put up with Holly.
Hes still leaning toward Sis and Christie.
She says this definitely ends the possibility of The Five.
Hes fine with that, but both of them want to stay in Tommys good graces.
The next morning, Christie comes to chat with him.
He says hes not doing much talking; hes just listening.
And Christie looks like she definitely did not manifest this.
So Michie just starts talking again.
He asks who came up with the deal.
He formulated the deal, says Michie, who suddenly thinks he needs to keep his eye on Nick.
When Nick goes to talk to him later, he says, I dont really got much to say.
Nick thinks hes therapizing him by just listening and agreeing.
But then Michie says its been made clear that if he didnt win then he would have gone up.
Not doing himself any favors, Nick just says, Yep.
But it seems like listening and agreeing worked for Nick because Christie and Analyse go up.
RIP, new not-an-alliance six.
