As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be updating and live-blogging away the best I can. Refresh the post to get the latest news! For more information on how I'll be handling this season on the blog as well as the show schedule, check this post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!
ALERT! ALERT! - Survivor: Ghost Island starts up next Wednesday! The blog pool is open but you need to sign up for it ONLY ON THIS LINKED POST. Requests not on that post might be missed. And, I don't think y'all know how annoying it is that every season people regularly in the pools want in after the deadline. If you want in on the blog pool, go to the post and sign up before the deadline. Please!
The recap ended and Julie tells us there are more alliances in the house than houseguests left in the game. She's so right about that!
Mark wants Brandi gone out of the Brandi/Ari nominations. We get the standard "I have to win veto" speeches.
Omarosa, like both Mark and James, wants Brandi out. James tells Ari that Brandi is the target. She's worried that Brandi will win veto.
Time for Omarosa's obligatory White House moment.
Veto Player random picks -- Mark got who he didn't want -- Omarosa. Brandi also got her nemesis James. Ari got Marissa.
Ross isn't playing his hand too well with Ari. Hmm.
Julie tells the house it's a double eviction. But they knew it had to happen.
A segment on Brandi acting out. She even dared people to say something bad about Julie. Then she decides to poke at James. She is right when she says he can be super cocky. Then Brandi gets upset at Marissa for not standing up for her.
PoV Comp -- compete one at a time at a secret location, then to HoH to watch the others compete. A BB Toy Company, action figure faces don't match the body. It's a morph type comp.
Omarosa up first. She tells us she doesn't want to win this veto and deliberately messes up. 38.52 minutes. She tells Ross that she thinks she should be the choice for a final two with him.
Ari up next. 9.10
James is up. Disqualified after he went past Ari's time.
Marissa is up. Disqualified after she went past Ari's time.
Mark is up. Disqualified after he went past Ari's time.
Brandi is up. Disqualified after she went past Ari's time.
ARI wins the Power of Veto!
Brandi wants Omarosa to be put in Ari's place. Mark isn't sure. He still wants Brandi out.
Mark tells James that he's nominating Marissa -- twofold in reasoning. He wants Brandi out and fears if he puts up Omarosa then Brandi might not be voted out. Plus Marissa has never been on the block.
Veto Meeting time -- Ari saves herself. Mark puts Marissa on the block.
Live Eviction One time --
Marissa - Won't campaign against Brandi, cancer survivor, love to family
Brandi - Amazing friendships, love a lot of you, hope Ari wins, shocked Omarosa and I get along.
The votes to evict:
James - Brandi
Ari - Marissa
Ross - Brandi
Omarosa - Brandi
No surprise here. Brandi is out. She was very good with Julie.
HoH Comp time - HG had the time to study works of art knowing they might be part of a comp. Sequestered in separate rooms. BB Auction. Questions on what they studied. True or False. Seven questions, point for each right.
Tiebreaker between James and Omarosa.
OMAROSA is the new HoH!
Live nominations -- Omarosa nominated Ross and Marissa.
Oh my.
Live veto comp! Art-Rageous. Six paintings, a replica in each of six rooms ... one not an exact match. Incorrect, eliminated. First one right wins.
ROSS wins the PoV!
The Veto Meeting. Ross saves himself. Omarosa puts James on the block with Marissa.
Live Eviction Two:
James - NO fun campaigning against Marissa. Consensus is no one can beat her in a final two. Keep me.
Marissa - Better chance of getting you to that final two!
Votes to evict:
Ari - James
Mark - Marissa
Ross - James
Buh-bye, James. He was cocky with Julie.
Sounds like they'll play an HoH before Sunday's show. Tomorrow is clips at 8pm ET/PT but the HoH will "start." (Probably not live.) I'll let you know what happens in a feeds report tomorrow.
Hi Jackie and everyone that follows!
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, how are you feeling?
ReplyDeleteHI Glenn
Hi Jackie, Glenn and Joe. I brought coconut shrimp with pina colada dipping sauce - over at the bar
ReplyDeleteHi Joe! Double eviction night should be interesting1
ReplyDeleteEh, Joe. Ask me after I've sat blogging this for two hours! But, thank you for asking.
ReplyDeleteHi Monty! Ross really did make deals with everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm still rooting for Ross but Ari has really surprised me with how smart she is with these people and the game. Love her.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why they want to diminish Omarosa. Whatever you might think of her politics or personality, she's a very smart, determined woman. Back on the original Apprentice, before it morphed into Celebrity Apprentice, they had very qualified business people on the show.
ReplyDeleteSo funny how they do those DR confessionals after the fact, LOL
ReplyDeleteThis has been a weird season. In some ways, these HGs have played harder and smarter than a lot of the 20-somethings that are usually in the house. On the other hand, a lot of them have quit!
ReplyDeleteAgree Joe, but I've been anti- Oma since that first season of The Apprentice. Just never liked her backstabbing at any cost approach. Just me though. :))
ReplyDeleteHello Jackie and everyone as well as Mmmmooonnnntttyyyyy lol
ReplyDeleteBrandi knows she's going home. The outfit clearly gives that away.
ReplyDeleteJjjjooonnnnn! Long time no see :)))
ReplyDeleteI know work has been fd lol
ReplyDeleteJon, I missed an entire week due to the flu. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteI was down with that last month it's just bad this year.
ReplyDeleteJoe It's to bad they can't combine some of the attributes of this Big Brother with the regular big brother. It will be interesting to see how voters seeing the season back before they choose a winner.
ReplyDeleteI really has been this year, Jon. I flew to Florida for my nephew's wedding and I'm convinced that I caught the flu on the flight home. Nobody in my family or anyone I was around was or has been sick since then. I'm gonna be the girl with a face mask on any future flights, LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Jon. Brandi is freaking out. She wanted them to make fun of Julie. I have been sick last week or so also. This has been a bad year with everyone getting sick.
ReplyDeleteWe have one Abe Vigoda lady at work and she infected us all with her cough and she still coughing I'm like you cough again I'm going to jail lol
ReplyDeleteLol no one messes with the Chenbot
ReplyDeleteI'm still high from TAR!!! So happy Jody won! Especially glad they are still together. I didn't realize until after the finale how close to BB they had filmed the Race. Must have been rough: they were together for 3 weeks or so, separated for like a month or more while he was on the jury, then they have to run that crazy Race. The fact that they managed to somehow to stay together says a lot - to me, anyway. That's a lot of turmoil for a very green relationship.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen James apply the guy liner in the house or is it permanent
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for JODY too. I actually fell asleep Wednesday night before the show finished and was thrilled when I saw that they had won it. I had it taped on the DVR and it was fun watching the finish. Great finish to a great TAR season. I honestly liked all of the final four but have to agree with others that I wasn't rooting for Team Yale. I liked the other three teams better.
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie and everyone. I'm not home so am peeking in. :::waves:::
ReplyDeleteIt's not even Team Yale, it was just Evan. She was kind of a bully with poor Henry.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised it hasn't dawned on Ross that she was tanking. After all, he didn't even want to play in the Veto for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteI saw all the Tar and thought I posted on wrong blog! LOL
ReplyDeleteThese are crazy face morphs. I can't even figure them out.
ReplyDeleteLol I do like Ari
ReplyDeleteLOL, Penny. Sorry about posting on TAR. I was here early on Wednesday and then just faded watching it in the bedroom and fell asleep right after they did the fortune cookie challenge. I didn't know until the next day who won. :)))
ReplyDeleteThat's ok, Monty. I don't mind talking and reading about TAR. I liked Henry, but not Evan. Now anti-Jody people say it isn't cair because Jessica did nothing. She did some of the hard tasks.
DeleteHello, all!
ReplyDeleteIt instantly hit her...after 7 minutes
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteI kind of wish her and mark got more time to actually see how horrible they would have done
ReplyDeleteHe really should put Ross up. He can't put James or Omarosa up, or they could go home. That leaves Ross or Marissa.
ReplyDeleteHi Penny! I was glad Jody won last night as well. Ari did well on the comp.
ReplyDeleteI already know all of this stuff. I'm looking forward to the eviction and then the REAL live stuff going on.
ReplyDeleteI've only watched the feeds a few times with this one. Just never had the inkling to check in on them. Not like a regular season of BB.
Howdy everyone!! Been out doing some burgers on the grill - help yourselves!!
ReplyDeleteAbout the TAR finale last night - people I know over in Alameda (where the Hornet is berthed) said they filmed all of that in October!!
SueGee
hi Kristin as well. Hopefully someone before double eviction doesn't just decide to quit.
ReplyDeletePenny, she had to the do the challenge because Cody had already done six (the limit as I understand it) and she rocked it. They deserved the win. I almost cried watching how excited she was when she hugged the guy and then realized she had to still run to finish it. When she looked back to see if any of the others were behind them and then you could hear her crying, that said a lot. No problems with them winning even though I didn't like them on BB.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Monty. She did do some hard tasks. People who didn't like them think they didn't deserve it be ause they think she was a floater.
DeleteThey all deserved it. They all got there the same way.
Hi SueGee. That is good information to find out it was filmed in October.Marissa is a safe way to get Brandi out.
ReplyDeleteIs it a 2 hour show? Still not home yet.
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled Jodi won TAR. I felt so sorry for Team Extreme. They do get some money, but it's not what they wanted. Jessica was just better that night. I did not think they would win. I wasso happy.
Yes, Penny. Two hours tonight.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's two hour tonight live. One hour tomorrow -- clips? I don't know, but it's not live. Two hours Sunday live finale.
ReplyDeleteGlenn, I think all the quitters are gone, LOL
ReplyDeleteI just hope that someone decides to say they are ready to go home and see their family. It is the first season I remember that we had 2 people quit . I hope we get Zingbot soon.
ReplyDeleteI think we got to see the real Cody on AR, and I actually liked him. I too loved the end when Jess realised that they had won.
ReplyDeleteI agree Monty. It is time for Brandi to go.
ReplyDeleteI thought about Raven and Mark and remembered how Raven had said she and Mark would be on AR. Wonder how watching Jody win it was like for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteShe was actually pretty funny
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'd love to see Brandi's goodbye to James too :)))
ReplyDeleteJulie with the dig about someone dared to say something bad about her. That would have been great Zingbot material.
ReplyDeleteUgh, Kristen.... LOL I'm having Raven flashbacks now :)))
ReplyDeleteThe complaining about Jess and Jody is a little silly. There were 9 tasks: he did 6, she did 3. But, if she had done one more, it would have been 5-4 like the other groups. So, it's one lousy comp.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Monty:)
ReplyDeleteI forgot about Raven. Does anyone know if she and Mark are still together? Or maybe she's been in the hospital since BB wrapped...
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of BB OTT
ReplyDeleteLOL Joe
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with these shows is you don't always get to see the "after". I would have liked to see Jess meet Cody's daughter, for example.
ReplyDeleteWait, it was Raven and Matt. What was the name of Mark's girl? [God, I'm horrible with names.]
ReplyDeleteDid he just throw that?
ReplyDeleteOMG...Ross must be mad
ReplyDeleteGiven OMarosa is 10x smarter than James, I'm betting on her on the tiebreaker
ReplyDeleteMatt was so forgettable
ReplyDeleteOooohhhhh. Snap here we go lol
ReplyDeleteOmarosa, LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is classic
I wonder who she is going up put up
ReplyDeleteThis could be a chaotic HOH now that Omerosa is HOH. The House might be sorry they didn't get her out when they could. I could see he going after Marissa or Ross.
ReplyDeleteMark and Elana, Joe! Marlena are still together. My great-niece in Ft. Worth met them over Christmas at a restaurant there and got pics with them.
ReplyDeleteElena...I found it.
ReplyDeleteAs of December, Raven and Matt were supposedly still dating.
OMG - Mark and Elena supposedly moved in together!!! I would have sworn she didn't even really like him.
not who I wanted as HOH but she is now vulnerable for the next vote
ReplyDeleteYes, Glenn. They'll all be sorry they didn't get rid of her when the had the chance to. LOL
ReplyDeleteDon't like her, but I love this!
Yes, Joe... they are the real thing too along with JODY
ReplyDeleteOH, SNAP!!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of them will go home. I hope it's Marissa
ReplyDeleteI never really like Elena, but I really liked Mark. So, I'm glad they are happy.
ReplyDeleteshe going for it lol
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it'll be Marissa and Ross
ReplyDeleteI'm not really cheering for anyone. But Marissa going home would be better for the show. Ross just works harder. Marissa staying would pretty much guarantee the Final 4 and no real surprises.
ReplyDeleteMonty and Joe I am glad to hear that the couples are still together. I also wasn't sure if Elena really liked him either.
ReplyDeleteI hope Ari survives all this
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Jon. I like her. She's really a smart woman.
ReplyDeleteJoe, you are so right. Ross would bring better tv. LOL
Joe, I have a funny thing about Elena. She really reminded me of a family member... not a sibling but a family member. So much alike in attitude, personality and actually looks. I saw the same personality in her. It was odd watching last summer. Having said that, I can see how they are still together because I know how strong my niece is and how great her relationship is with her S/O. I think they'll make it work.
ReplyDeleteWill they do another HOH tonight on the live feeds or will they wait until later?
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Go Ross
ReplyDeleteIf she doesn't put Ari up, both Marissa and Ross may end up staying.
ReplyDeleteWow that was fast by Ross with the Veto. Will Ari or James get put on the block?
ReplyDeleteJon, I think Ari is safe. I think Marissa is going home.
ReplyDeleteDamn it I like Ross and want hm to stay but she is gnna out up Ari
ReplyDeleteJoe, if Omarosa wants a woman to win, she may protect Marissa... but I don't think so
ReplyDeleteUnless she puts up mark or James is only wayI think she could stay
ReplyDeleteGlenn - I think they'll wait a bit, play tomorrow maybe with the feeds blocked. No scrolling marque on the feeds tonight about a comp.
ReplyDeleteShe wants to break up Ross and Marissa.
ReplyDeleteSnaps lol
ReplyDeleteShe wants Marissa to stay. See!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet she did shake things up lol
ReplyDeleteShe wanted ROSS to go.
ReplyDeleteWhat did James just say?
ReplyDeleteThat strikes me as a risky move
ReplyDeleteOkay, my comment at 9:40 was wrong, lol. I think Omarosa wants a woman to win and she knows, or thinks, she can beat Marissa.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. With James nominated does the house save Marissa? This will force Ross to pick a side. Ari will vote to save Marissa and Mark will save James. Ross is in a no win situation.
ReplyDeleteAri and Ross will keep Marissa!
ReplyDeleteAri will vote James, Mark will vote Marissa, Ross is in a tough spot with his double alliance.
ReplyDeleteMonty, the problem is that if Marissa stays, Omarosa has made a move against Ross and Marissa is really his closest ally. If you can't take out your primary target, you have to at least weaken them. If Marissa stays, Omarosa is back to being on the bottom of the house
ReplyDeleteThey want to split up Ross and Marissa, though. This is going to be a potluck.
ReplyDeleteI think O just backdoored James all by her lonesome. But who will Ross vote out
ReplyDeleteI know, Joe. This is crazy
ReplyDeleteI think it will be James going. Only vote to save will be from Mark
ReplyDeleteThey want to split up Ross and Marissa.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right itchy.
ReplyDeleteThey want to take Marissa because she's the goat
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI hope they show her goodbye message lol
ReplyDeleteMarissa is safe. James is out and Omarossa will be in trouble.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch RHAP now :)))
ReplyDeleteBlindside
ReplyDeleteI do think there is a HUGE target on Omarossa now. Numbers are against her...
ReplyDeleteWill they show Brandis tape goodbye message?
ReplyDeletePenny - I like blondside better :o)
ReplyDeleteMoving forward should have been the drinking word
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jackie. I'll be back Sunday, but not tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone.
ReplyDeleteNight everyone!! Thanks for everything Jackie!!
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of gangsta lol
ReplyDeleteOMG, can we stop with the WH moments???!!!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed this winter version but the politics is ick.
Thanks Jackie and will see you all tomorrow nigh
Thanks Jackie see you guys later on have a great weekend!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by! Remember to sign up for the Survivor Ghost Island blog pool on the blog pool post if you want in!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I had to look up who Raven and Matt even were since they were mentioned. That's how long my Big Brother knowledge lasts.
ReplyDeleteThey won't do a Zingbot. They are "celebrities" after all. Can't insult them.
Thanks Jackie. =)
