Holly Allen and Nicole Anthony continued to grow their bond, while Jackson Michie spent a majority of this day worrying about life after Big Brother 21. He didn’t think it would be a pretty picture. Apparently, the way Jackson’s family looked in his video from home made him concerned that they weren’t proud of him. Holly and Nicole’s newfound closeness also made Jackson feel a little excluded, and he worried that Holly’s bond with Nicole was making her consider cutting him at the final three.

He was itching to win this last Head of Household competition and take control of his own fate. He wanted to win and bring Holly along to final two. Holly reassured Jackson that she had no intentions of taking Nicole over him to the finals. She also mentioned that she had felt the same isolation before when Nicole and him were bonding. Jackson said he understands, and he knows that Nicole has felt that too because of them, but he couldn’t help being stressed about the finals and life outside of Big Brother game.

Time for our annual deep dive into the final three Big Brother players’ games. Holly Allen, Jackson Michie, and Nicole Anthony have all traveled very different roads to reach this point in the game. One relied on her social prowess in the beginning, but then fizzled out as more of a supporting role player, one started building the foundation for a strong social game at the start of Big Brother 21, but then played more scared when she became too much a topic of discussion, only to really pick it up towards the end, and one lacked a strong social game but made up for it with his competition wins.

Big Brother is a constant evolving game with no clear set forth playbook. Everyone has an opinion on what a deserving winner looks like, what their Big Brother legacy and strategy entails, but at the end of the day, it’s just an opinion. By definition, if you win the season, then you’re technically the person who deserved to win the game the most, so make of that what you will. For the next couple of days, we’re going to give each of the final three a fair examination of their game strengths, weaknesses and what skills and strategies make them a deserving winner of the Big Brother 21 title.

Up first is Holly Allen, 31, Wyoming.

We’re in the end of days now, so not much left to expect on Big Brother 21. If you’ve reached this day, congratulations. You have made it so much further than many. If don’t, we’ll see you (maybe) for Big Brother 22. The final three players mainly used the day to rest, relax, and reflect, basically a rinse and repeat of the last five or so days, give or take.

Holly Allen wanted to do something nice for her fellow remaining houseguests, so she made and brought them breakfast in bed. The breakfast time allowed the final three to discuss and worry about life outside the Big Brother 21 game.

With only two episodes left of Big Brother 21, tonight’s episode will feature round one of the three-part Head of Household (HOH) competition. All three remaining houseguests, Nicole Anthony, Holly Allen, and Jackson Michie, are eligible to compete for the final HOH. This is truly ‘do or die’ time in the Big Brother house if these houseguests want to make it to the final two and the ability to pick who they are standing next to when the time comes for the jurors to vote.

Michie has proven to be a competition beast, but Nicole and Holly both have victories under their belts as well. Round one of the final HOH competition is traditionally an endurance competition, but this is Big Brother…always expect the unexpected. In addition to the HOH comp, we will be treated to a walk down memory lane and a special visit from last year’s final three houseguests. Sit back, relax, and enjoy as our Big Brother summer is almost over.
