BB25: Live Feeds Into Friday 8/04

 

Playing charades

The blog pool sign-up cutoff is TONIGHT Midnight Pacific Time! Sign up ONLY on the blog pool opens post!

Good morning! My apologies for no post last night. The BB House time difference and a real-life weekly hospital appointment wreaked havoc on my sleep (or lack thereof). I decided to take a brief nap which ended up being a "power nap" of about seven hours! In other words, a really bizarre time to go to bed! Once I get used to staying up BB hours, I'll do better. Of course, once I woke up, I had to catch up with the feeds. Be warned -- get your breakfast and coffee because this report will be a LONG one!

So, what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Rascally Rodents?

• As you know from my last post, Reilly won HOH.
• Apparently, Luke ALMOST won it, coming in about 4 seconds late.
• With four already on the block, what will the HOH do?
• I'm glad you asked!
• The HOH will remove two from the chopping block. Just a reminder -- on the block we have Felicia, Cory, Jared and Kirsten.
• What if one the final two nominees wins Veto?
• In that case, from what I understand, one of the two removed will return to the block, HOH choice. 
• At least that's what most of them think. A few think the replacement could be anyone.
• I just don't know because THEY don't know for sure.
• While I napped there was the HOH Room reveal with way too many hamsters crammed in that room. It was too early for the things from home. But she did get treats and music.
• Reilly's music gift wasn't a good one for making friends and influencing people in the house -- Morgan Wallen, a country singer banned from the CMA Awards for racial slurs.
• They celebrated her birthday.
• They also played charades and Simon Says, and fun was had by all.
• So ... let's get to the gameplay!
• Reilly talked to some of them while planning to talk to the rest today.
• To cut to the quick, it sounds like her current plan is to target Kirsten (as many have mentioned her) and have her up there with a pawn, most likely Cory.
• That MAY backfire on her as she doesn't know that Cory is just about as iffy with others as is Kirsten.
• She appears to sincerely like Cory, told him she wants to work with him.
• Cory told her that his brother was on Survivor. Well, that secret didn't last long, did it? He did tell her it was a secret, but ...!
• (However, when talking with Jag, she made a final two pact.)
• Cory told her she needs to save Felicia. He claims he doesn't want to be on the block with her and "responsible for sending her home."
• As if!
• Both also think if Felicia were to be evicted, the Wrath of Cirie would come down on them.
• Cory thinks Cirie really likes him. Bwahahaha!
• Cory thinks Jared really likes him. Bwahahaha!
• Of course, we know that if Cirie and Jared don't like someone, that means Felicia and Izzy don't, either!
• Reilly told Cory that she doesn't really want to work with a women's alliance (an issue about Kirsten as she claimed there was a guy's alliance after just a few hours in the house). She thinks that a mix with both genders would be better for winning comps. She is pushing for a large alliance, eight is her goal. Eep.
• She really likes Matt and Luke and would like to bring them in on her side.
• When she talked to Cameron, she also said that she wants to work with him.
• She told him she plans to take Jared off the block because he is loyal and has no one else to really work with ... bwahaha!
• Can you say Cirie? I thought you could!
• Cameron told her he could work with Jared as they are both football guys.
• Outside of the Reilly talks, I have some observations to make.
• Some of the people in the house are so likable or fun that no one wants to target them, at least right now -- Felicia, Jag, Matt, Jared, Red and even Cirie to a point.
• Not one person other than Izzy knows that Jared and Cirie are son and mother. She guessed it and approached Jared about it right on opening night.
• Cirie and Izzy have also talked about it.
• Jared is already making plans for the day he slips up and calls Cirie "Mom." He's calling Felicia and Cirie Momma F and Momma C. Good thinking. Probably Cirie's thinking.
• Cirie continues to advise Jared on gameplay and it's cool watching her do her Cirie Thing on BB as she did on Survivor. 
• She watches, she knows, she decides who goes.
• And, it looks like her choice to go will be Kirsten or, perhaps to a lesser extent, Cory.
• Nominations should be today with POV tomorrow.
• I predict that Kirsten and Cory will be nominated.

America, America ...

Bowie Jane and Felicia

Nobody doesn't like Matt!

Jared is sure to stay this week.

Cirie is fitting in much better than I expected.

Hey, Cory. The pawn sometimes isn't!

Blue got a booboo in the HOH comp ... or blublu?
