Tonight on Big Brother 21, we learned that Christie's Panic Power isn't exactly what she claimed that it was on the feeds.

So what is it then? It is still the Diamond Power of Veto, but it's not exactly one that she has total control over. Instead, on the week in which Christie wants to use it, she can turn the regular Power of Veto for that week into the Diamond Power of Veto. Let's say, for example, that Tommy wins the Veto and wants to remove Holly from the block. He can do that and, beyond that, he will get to name the replacement nominee.

.

This change on the show is different from what Christie explained on the feeds, where she's been acting like she is the one who automatically gets to choose the replacement nominee. We don't know if she misread the instructions or if she's trying to mislead others in the house as to what it actually does. Or, maybe she just assumes that she will win the Veto on the week she wants to use it.

Either way, having this clarification on the panic power is important since it does add that extra layer into what could be coming up. It means that Christie isn't as powerful as she first seemed since she will most likely have to entrust someone else to do her bidding. That's a little bit different from her getting to do everything herself.

Granted, it's hard to deny that Christie remains one of the game's most influential players. She has a tremendous number of allies and she's been able to keep most of them from wanting to target her. She does have a problem in terms of how much she's willing to tell other people but let's be honest: A lot of people this season have problems with how much they are willing to tell other people.

Big Brother July 14, 2019

It's the afternoon of day 26 in Big Brother 21, and for now, it seems as though the plan is still going according to plan. It feels like Nicole will be the replacement nominee tomorrow once Kat removes Jessica from the block and then from there, things will get a little bit interesting.

Yet, is it possible that something even crazier is going to go down? Well, Sam does have the power to shake things up if he does. He was there for a discussion about the plan to keep Nicole around and because of that, he could go and tell Nick and Bella. Remember that he's had side deals with them plus Christie and Tommy and he's also aware of Gr8ful. He could try to do something to really stir up the house if he wanted to … we're just not sure he will want to stick his neck out so far this early on in the game.

.

What is interesting is that it does feel like Bella will be the target even if the Six Shooters win, meaning that this may not be the case where they try and have Nicole or someone else do their dirty work. Because Nick cannot be Head of Household, they think that now is the best time to make a move. We're not sure that Nick is the person who goes out afterwards, though, especially since Analyse feels close to Nick and Holly may not want him out immediately, either. Nick may have a chance to change his game, depending on the humility he finds after realizing that he has been played.

It's worth noting that Analyse and Holly both feel like they're on the outs of the Christie/Tommy/Jack trio, and that's something to watch down the road.

For those wondering, Cliff is also campaigning a little bit in the game — he's done it to Sam and also to Kat this afternoon
