BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 30

 

Good evening! I hope those blog readers in Florida have made it through the hurricane okay!

Tonight is the Veto comp episode. We have Jag and Blue on the block. Will someone win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees? Ohh ... the suspense! (Well, if you don't follow the live feeds, there is suspense!)

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!

Once again I will sit through the "Previously on" segment. I mean, how many times can we see Hisam evicted?

Hints that Jared may spill his big secret as well as a duo round-up and mistrust of Izzy. We pick up the action as the Nominations Ceremony ends. Cameron tells us that he has a plan if the veto is used. Would that be Izzy? Cirie is thinking Cam is staying in with the fake alliance they set up.

Blue is teary speaking to Jared about being on the block ... especially with Jag. Cory tells America that he has a secret. The fact that his brother was on Survivor and voted out in 17th place. Heh. America decides to tell him her secret ... Brown University, biology. Cory decides he wants to go deep into the game with her.

Red and Cameron talk about (the fake) Legend 25 Alliance. Cameron thinks that he and Red are the low ones on the power totem pole. Again, Izzy is the target of their conversation. Cameron tells Red that Izzy is his backdoor option. Cam doesn't like the trio of Cirie, Felicia and especially Izzy.

Jag's chicken costume punishment is over. He takes the costume off in the backyard in a fun chicken strip show.

To Jared and Blue now. (Ew.) He tells US that he wants to give Blue a half-truth to test her trust. He tells her ... what if I'm related to Mama Felicia? He refuses to promise or pinky-swear. She tells us that someone might be related. She thinks it's more likely that it could be Cirie. He has dropped many clues, even his mother has been on Survivor four times.

Cameron tells Matt that he's his boy and he will never leave him behind. He wants to test Matt's level of trust. He talks of three people being very tight and "we're" expendable. Cam tells Matt not to tell about his proposed new alliance. Matt runs to Cirie about Cam's new alliance plans. Matt really wants to work with Cirie.

Cory and America's flirtmance continues. They went under the covers and Izzy thinks they should throw condoms at them. But the condoms have are missing. They know someone must have used them! Jared ...? Blue ...?

Time to pick the Veto players! Cameron draws Houseguest Choice and goes for Red. Blue draws Jared. Jag draws Mecole. Mecole tells us she wants both of them to stay on the block. Cirie doesn't want Jared to use the veto if he wins because she thinks one of them will go on the block.

Time for the veto comp! It's all set up as the Temple of Power. It's a ComicVerse comp. Ancient riddle, balance artifacts on the pillars to match the artifact weights to reveal letters and unscramble the letters revealed to solve the riddle. Fastest time wins.

Blue is up first. She gets the word Golden and is happy with her time. Cameron up next. He tells us he doesn't want to win due to increased target; he wants Red to win. Mecole next. The letters kept falling off the wall costing her time. Jared next. He has trouble coming up with the word "golden." Red next. He goes through it quickly. Jag is up. He went through with one hiccup on the artifact weighing bit.

The results: Top Three times -- 3. 3:18 Cam, 2. 2:41 Jag, 1. 2:20 Red.

RED wins the Power of Veto!

Blue and Jag are both sad. They decide they each have to advocate for themselves. Blue is teary-eyed in the Diary Room and thinks highly of Jag. They hug.

Meanwhile, Cam and Red are celebrating in the HOH room. Cam thinks they can keep the noms the same or take one down to shake up the house. Cam tells Red putting up Izzy would be "one hell of a move."

Time for the veto meeting. Red doesn't use the veto. Jag and Blue remain on the block. We get the obligatory Diary Room bits from Jag and Blue. Jag will unleash the Turbinator. Cam thinks not using it keeps them in the favor of their larger alliance.

We get a teaser for the Super Power to be revealed tomorrow on the live show.
