F4 HoH Spoiler:

Nicole wins HoH and is in the final 3!

F4 Veto Spoiler:

Jackson wins veto and is planning on taking out Cliff.

Inviso's Thoughts Spoiler:

People are giving Cliff and Nicole a lot of shit and calling them dumb for how they played the past few weeks, but that's very results-oriented thinking, and doesn't seem completely fair to me, to paint them with that brush. The only real mistake either of them made was Nicole winning the DE HoH. It should've been Tommy or Christie and let THEM take the shot at Jackson.

The problem is that calling Cliffcole dumb really negates the good game moves Jackson made on multiple occasions to get himself where he is. I think he's a scumbag, but like, he targeted Jessica specifically to keep a second couple in the house, and then when Nicole won HoH, that second couple was a threat to be targeted instead of himself/Holly. And since then, Jackson has won HoH and veto, so they haven't had a proper chance to take him out.

1. Nicole won F6 HoH. If she goes after Jolly, she's burning an alliance that just protected her ass three weeks in a row, in favor of an alliance that, the last time they were in power, put her closest ally on the block, alongside another member of her assumed alliance. If either of Jolly wins HoH, the survivor will be pissed off, and has a very legitimate reason to team up with Christie/Tommy (or at least with Tommy). Suddenly it's 3 against 1 in the HoH, and it's very likely one of Cliffcole goes home.

2. Cliff won F6 veto. If they backdoor Jackson, same deal, except you've effectively pissed off Christie/Tommy by nominating them and putting them in harm's way in the first place. The ONLY move they could've made here is vetoing Christie off the block and nominating one of Holly/Jackson in order to guarantee a Tommy boot, but again, they pisses off Jolly and leaves Cliffcole as a threatening duo.

5. Nicole won F5 veto. If she/Cliff take out Holly, then there's no reason for this same exact situation not to still occur. Jackson's pissed about losing Holly, and he still had a working relationship with Tommy, with a solid duo still in the house together.

Essentially, the only way this works out for Cliffcole is either Jackson not winning the comps he won, or Tommy winning the F6 HoH (and targeting Jolly, instead of defaulting to his hatred of the outsiders.)
