BB25: Live Feeds into Friday Afternoon - Aug. 11


His alliance and the show vs. his deafness ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whirling Dervishes:
  • First, let me explain the caption in Matt's screencap --
  • The show made no effort to handle Matt's deafness in the Diary Room after voting last night. There is no video screen in there, only a mic. They should have set up a light to flash ... something, anything ... to let him know to leave.
  • Also production related: When Jared appeared on the screen from the Nether Region, Matt couldn't hear what he was saying. Heck, I had to replay it with my headphones full blast to hear it.
  • Then there's his own alliance. Last night they kept whispering in groups. He TOLD them he can't hear what's going on. No way can he read many lips at once in a group of five all talking at once! Did they stop? Nope. They all kept whispering at the same time.
  • What were they whispering about?
  • Well, the Handful -- Reilly, Jag, Matt, Blue and Cameron (double agent?) -- led by Reilly (again) were talking about throwing Cory and America under the bus, sacrificing their larger Family Style members to further themselves in the game.
  • They want to steer Hisam towards nominating those two but being subtle about it, not blatantly suggesting it.
  • Meanwhile, Hisam is really wanting to target Reilly as Reilly talked about putting Izzy and him on the block.
  • She even admitted it to him.
  • So, he knows for sure.
  • In other news, Izzy got all Izzied-out over Cameron telling her where to sit in the HOH room. 
  • Red said something to her about sitting and she went off on an angry crying jag -- not to be confused with BB25 Jag.
  • But, later ... after being consoled by Mecole, Hisam, Blue, Cirie and whoever else, Red went to talk to her.
  • I actually like Red a lot more after their talk. He seemed very sincere with her and I think she feels that way, too.
  • But she still hates Cameron even though Felicia told her hate is not something to feel.
  • So, she has decided to say she WANTS to hate Cameron.
  • When Reilly was talking to Matt about Cirie and Felicia and how Jared thought of them, she said, "Jared is like their son."
  • Heh.
  • Apparently, no one other than Kirsten picked up on the nickname slip by Jared. She didn't pick up on it until Julie told her mother/son.
  • While Hisam really wants Reilly out, Cirie is more mistrustful regarding Cameron.
  • When Jared appeared on the screen from the "Nether Region" he really didn't reveal much. He said they wouldn't let him sleep. Felicia asked if they fed him. It was more small talk than anything else. He said he would appear again but nothing on when he will get out or what he's actually doing there.
  • The screen later turned on to Nominations Today, putting Hisam in a rush to get his one-on-one conversations done.
  • Oh my! What one on ones he has! Direct and asking just about everything except their credit scores. He tells them what he's heard without naming names, he's getting them to expose their alliances and more.
  • Best interrogations ... er ... one on ones that I've ever seen!
  • So far, I think (although he isn't Hisam's main target), Matt is lying the most to him. And Hisam knows it. He's trying to steer Matt away from Reilly as much as possible. Hisam blatantly tells him that Reilly is the only one who has mentioned his name and she's the one he wants out. Matt says he won't tell her and that will show his trust.
  • Hisam is doing all the Family Style folks first.
  • When talking with Cameron he mentioned the possibility of putting Cameron on the block with Reilly with Reilly the target.
  • On the other hand, Cirie is giving advice to Reilly about how to handle the one on one. 
  • I can't wait for that one!
  • BB better not cut away too much when he talks to her.
  • On that cliffhanger ... laters!
Ack. No cliffhanger, the feeds switched to adoptable animals just as I was about to hit post for this. It must be nominations. Argh. I will let you know when I know.

Jared appears from the Nether Region

Izzy dizzied once again.

NO ONE is saying Mecole's name!

Red had a touching heart to heart with Izzy.

Not singing in the sunshine.

That is messed up how they were with Matt with last nights vote and then the way his alliance was just being so clueless even after him saying something and them knowing. Aghhhhhh People smell the stupidity lol Hisam is not playing with his HOH lol

He is amazing. I thought Cirie was good, but hers is all social and strategy. Hisam has social, strategy AND comp beast. I'm liking him more every time he's on the feeds! The one on ones he had were fantastic!

Question: If there is no video screen in the diary room when they are voting, why do so many of them compliment Julie on how she looks? Aren’t they seeing her? Just wondering - thanks for all your reporting!

Jackie S. said...

Anon- They compliment her as they have seen her on the screen in the living room. But for voting and all diary room sessions, all they see is a microphone and hear a voice.

Thank you for explaining that! I had no idea what they see in the diary room. They really do need to make a few changes to accommodate Matt. He’s an interesting addition to the house! Again, I appreciate what you do. I’ve tried watching BBAD in the past and find it mostly boring. Reading your recaps and the comments are the best part of each season, and I’ve been around since your AOL days. I just don’t comment often.

I really like Matt and would love to see him come over to the other side of the house. BB definitely needs to handle his hearing loss issue better.It was awful to see him just sit there after the vote like that .
Hopefully he will realize his team doesn't really have his back ,after they kept up the whispering even after he told them he couldn't hear.
Jackie I agree with Laura and Cherry Pie,your updates are the best part of the season!! Thank you for all you do to keep us updated!
