BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 16

Good evening! I hope everyone is well. I want to thank those who have recently donated to the blog. With my medical bills and ongoing health issues it's deeply appreciated!

Tonight is the Veto comp episode. We have Reilly and Cameron on the block. Will one be saved? Some of us might already know, but ... shhh. Let them show it on the show!

I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. I'll be updating regularly -- please refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Sitting through the "Previously on" segment. We know this stuff!

We finally pick up with a teaser about who gets sent to the Nether Region next and the PoV comp which has them spinning records. There's an article out there about how the comp was adapted for Matt's deafness.

Hisam tells us Reilly is his target. He's putting Cameron next to her to see the other side "splinter and crumble." We get both nominees telling us how they feel about being nominated. We get Hisam treating Reilly in a real condescending patronizing manner. I can't blame her for being upset.

They are looking at the pictures on the Memory Wall (which just showed up this week). The Scary ball in the living room is flashing red. Jag returns. Jag has no message for them. He's safe for the week, doesn't know what the Nether Gorgon will ask him to do.

Hisam tells Matt he thinks Matt and Reilly are in a showmance. Hisam wants Matt to think saving Reilly would be dangerous to his game. Matt doesn't take too kindly to being threatened. Matt tells Reilly if he wins the veto, he will take her down.

Scary globe lights up again and they get a message. Jag has returned but the Gorgon Monster wants more souls. Jag must pick, that person cannot compete in the veto comp. Jag tells us he wants to confer with Hisam so Hisam thinks it's his idea. Hisam doesn't like Jag's Red idea. He decides to ask for volunteers. Everybody is telling him no. Bowie says she's good to whatever. Reilly wants Red to go because he would take Cameron down, Matt would probably go up.

Jag tells us it's not an easy decision. He goes with Bowie Jane. No one seems thrilled except maybe Bowie. She tells us she wanted to keep Red to possibly play for the veto. 

Now Reilly feels betrayed by both Jared and Jag. Hisam ain't happy either and says that Jag is lucky he's safe this week.

Veto comp playera pick time! Hisam draws first - Matt. Heh. Cameron gets America. Reilly draws Houseguest Choice, chooses Blue. All from the other side has Hisam hanging his head while Reilly's allies dance.

Cirie, Izzy and Hisam talk. Hisam is fussing about the picks. Cirie says it's "balls to the wall" and everybody is gunning for this veto.

Veto time. Hottest music store in ScrambleVerse. Have to spin a record to get three clues to find the task they need to accomplish. Three tasks in fastest time wins. The backyard is done up like an old record/music store.

They do the comp individually. Cameron is up first. The piano is a toilet seat! Eep. America is up next. This is a strange and different kind of comp than we've seen before. I do hope they sanitized that tuba between players. Matt is now up. Matt has trouble finding the peeano toilet. He also had to read the sign on the tuba because he had no idea what a tuba is. Blue is next, more confusion. Hisam time. He seems to be going through it fast. Reilly time. And into commercial when she finishes!

Results: Top three times. 3rs place is Blue 2.36. Second 2.10 is Cameron. 1st is Hisam with 1.45. (Thise are minutes and seconds.) HISAM wins the Power of Veto. Lots of fake hugs going around. No, they are NOT all happy he won!

ScaryVerse globe is lighting up -- the return of Bowie Jane. She says she has nothing to report. 

Hisam talks to Reilly. Well, she went to him. He tells her he doesn't want to "get any more blood on his hands." He will probably tell the others she is his target, and he wants them to vote her out at the veto meeting. Not a good talk for Reilly.

Veto Meeting time! Hisam doesn't use the veto. Says he loves Reilly but she is his target, she mentioned his name, caused the house to split early and wants everyone to vote her out.

Oh my. Cirie is not happy with her buddy Hisam. Most seemed rather shocked he was that blatant.
