BB25: Live Season Finale Blog Party

 

We made it! We lived through this too long season of 100 days in the Big Brother house. While the first half of the season was good, once we hit the Zombie week it was like the season itself jumped the shark. But we stayed. And, yeah ... there were some gems here and there. I would never have predicted the final three to be Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag.

Tonight, on the two-hour finale, we will see:
  • The rest of Part One of the final HOH comp which had its start aired on the Tuesday show.
  • Part Two of the final HOH comp which is taped.
  • Part Three of the final HOH comp which will be live.
  • The Jury Roundtable with Dr. Will (which sounds great!)
  • Live eviction down to the Final Two
  • Jury questions
  • Final Two speeches
  • The voting and winner of BB25
  • America's Favorite Player
  • Whatever "holiday surprise" Julie was talking about. I'm in fear because I've seen promos for it with Britney, Frankie and Danielle in holiday pajamas.
I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. As I will be constantly updating, refresh the page to get the latest happenings! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

Before we get started, Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. I find it hard to believe I'm still in my own blog pool! Here's where we stand ...

Bowie Jane - Jasonuwp, Sally, Rachel C, Jessica U, Joyce Johnson
Matt - Brenda, Helenann2k, Brent McKee, Chrob61
Jag - Barbara W, Jackie, Donna in Alabama, Mary C

JURY
Cameron
Cory
Blue
America
Cirie
Felicia

Hamster watchers ready?

Julie tonight

I sat through the Previously On segment.

We go to the Part One of the HOH in which they are hanging on suspended balls crashing into stuff. We get diary room bits on why each needs to win. They are getting hit with goo, hair and ice-cold rain. They have to move down from the disk to the bubble. Bowie Jane out at an hour 24 minutes. Jag and Matt want to do rock-paper-scissors. Jag goes down. MATT is the winner of Part One!

Bowie Jane and Jag will compete in Part Two. Julie tells us the Dr. Will Roundtable is up next.

Here we go! Felicia comes in to join them. They talk about Bowie Jane and her non-game. America thinks floating worked as a strategy for her. They talk about control. Cory thinks Jag was more in control. Cirie thinks he manipulated so many. This is really good. I'm not able to keep up with each statement. They say Matt has a better social game than Jag. Lots of positive talk about Matt. His worst moves were not owning up to his moves in the game.

Bowie Jane's parents are in the crowd from Australia.

Part Two of the HOH Comp! Competitions have to be sent back to their proper universe. Zipline back and forth, chronological orders for the comps in the correct universes.


Jag studied hard but never paid attention to what universe each comp came from. He's having all kinds of problems. Finally gets it. He thinks his performance was horrible. Then it's Bowie Jane's turn. I wish she would stop shouting in the Diary Room. Like Jag, she didn't pay attention to which universe each comp was from. She seems to be doing worse than Jag. Finally she finishes. JAG wins Part Two! 1 hour 2.56 minutes vs. Bowie Jane's hour and a half.

Jag has final two deals with both Matt and Bowie Jane. Now, that can't happen, right?

Time for Part Three HOH comp! Meowmeow Enterprises sends them Jury Verse. How well do they know the jury? Videos, three statements about the jury person, one is false. Six videos.

1. Both right
2. Both right
3. Both right
4. Both right
5. Both right
6. Both wrong

To a tiebreaker. How many minutes was the When Universes Collide Part One comp from the start to when Jag went down?
Matt 140 Jag 163 -- 176 is right.

JAG wins Part Three!

To the living room. 
Matt - Jag, my boy. Love you, had each other's back. Let's keep it real.
Bowie Jane - Good buddies, would like to be in the final two, lots of money on the line.

Jag chooses to evict ... he tells both good things about them. He chooses to evict Bowie Jane. He has to take Matt to the final two. She's good about it.

Bowie Jane tells Julie she told Jag he had to do what is right for him. Short and sweet interview.

Jury questions time. Three questions for each finalist.
Cirie - Matt - Through game Jag leader, you follower. What moves were your own? Saved Jag's game. We did everything together, why we're here.
Cory - Jag - You and Matt working together, did you carry Matt to final two? I made it happen, I was the leader.
Felicia - Matt - 2 occasions you told me you were thinking of evicting Jag, real or lie? I was loyal to Jag, told you what you wanted to hear.
America - Jag - Goodbye messages you took credit before you never said anything? I finished the job and can own up then.
Cameron - Matt - Lying a big part of the game, strategic lie? Telling people I would take a shot at Jag, telling people what they wanted to hear.
Blue - Jag - Voted out week four, why do you deserve to win the game over the person saving you? Came up with BB mastership game for myself, adapted, my journey in the game is testament to that.
Bowie Jane - Jag - How did your game change for the better when you joined in the Mafia with Matt and me? Loves her.

Final statements from the Final Two.
Matt - First deaf person to play the game, had to play a social game, had to step up, lived in Have Not, almost perfect game, good social game, he worked on his social game rather than the comps, performed when needed to, backed away, team player. I played my own game. Had Jag gone out, I would have been fine.
Jag - I have willed this to be this way, I signed your eviction notices. Got Cam out. Singlehandedly sent Cory and Blue home. I convinced Matt to send Cirie home. I am the most dominant and strategic player in this house. All your blood is on my hands. I am the first Sikh player.

Time to vote.
Cameron - what a road, voting for the guy I told over a month ago.
Cory - Voting for the person I can beat in a fight.
Blue - Team brunette, team blond
America - To the slimiest snake of them all
Cirie - I am loyal, voting person most loyal to me.
Felicia - Neither of you were loyal to me, best ability to get befriended.
Bowie Jane - Keep to my word.

The pre-jury is there. Julie asks Mecole what surprises her the most -- Cameron was the hero rather than the villain. He is flattered. Hisam surprised Mecole is a political consultant. Bowie Jane admits being a criminal trial attorney specializing in money laundering and tax fraud. Felicia brings up her age. She admits being 45.

Cameron, Felicia's famous relative ... Denzel. Felicia admits not true. All are shocked that Jared is Cirie's son. That bit must be watched!

Time to reveal the vote!
BJ - Jag
Felicia - Matt
Cirie - Matt
America - Jag
Blue - Jag
Cory - Jag

JAG WINS BB25! (And JACKIE wins the blog pool for the first time!) Cameron also voted Jag.

America's favorite houseguest. Top three -- Cirie, Matt and Cameron.

CAMERON won it!

There is something going on in the BB House -- Frankie, Danielle and Britney are in laundry bins in storage. They find their doohickey to close the Multiverse. They shoot it and the universes go away one by one. Uh-oh Christmas stuff starts floating around, they have holiday pjs on now.

Brand new show BB Reindeer Gane with legendary BB players. Jordan Derek and Tiffany as Santa's elves. Premieres December 11.

Glenn Allen said...

This was a very short season recap. It left out half the Season.

Cheryl in NC said...

Monty has a feast

jo C said...

IKR im so glad id be jonesing if we had to wai 6 months

jo C said...

im having a coke cant drink alcohol thnks diabetes forNOT letting me drink

monty924 said...

I don't like how any of the final three have acted down the stretch. Having said that, I'm rooting for Matt. Just me, lol

jo C said...

i agree monty making fun of ANYBODY is not right Maty Ice esp should KNOW better

monty924 said...

jo C, that's the beauty of a virtual bar... you can have whatever you want and no worries about the consequences. What is your pleasure???

jo C said...

a pina colada please bartender

monty924 said...

Seriously??? Oh well, it's this lot at the end so nothing surprises me.

Glenn Allen said...

Seriously Matt wins part one of HOH with Rock beating Scissors in Rock Paper Scissors to end the comp.

Sharon N said...

Good evening Jackie and the rest of our BB crew!

Matt played the best social game, so I'd vote for him. With that said, I'm with Monty... their action the last 2-3 weeks make me wish none of them are in the finale.

monty924 said...

Sliding a frozen Pina Colada to jo C

monty924 said...

IKR, Glenn. That's the state of BB these days 🙄🙄

Hey Sharon

jo C said...

i agree sharon Matty Ice played the best game but i sure do wish my Ga boy Cam was in the mix

Anonymous said...

Hi Jackie and all who follow....still want Matt to win...check back with yall later
CherryPie

Nickelpeed said...

I love Dr. Will.

monty924 said...

Hi Cherry Pie

SueGee said...

Howdy everyone!! So glad this is over and it is on to the next one...

I think I will have a Strawberry Margarita tonight if possible Monte!!

Squeegee

jo C said...

OMG Dr will eminds me of Nick Rhodes from Duran Durnn he needs to go back to dyeing his hair

Nickelpeed said...

Dr. Will needs to take off some make-up or less plastic surgery.

Sharon N said...

Jo C,
Some of Cam's actions/attitude made me not want him to win, but I think he might be one of the most intelligent this year. He certainly spotted the Big 3 (Cirie, Izzy, Felicia). Too bad he wasn't also aware of Jared.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Cheryl

Nickelpeed said...

Hopefully, it's not another 100 days...

monty924 said...

Hear that Matty? You better own your game!!!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Sharon and Cherrypie!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Sharon, Cherry Pie, SueGee and Cheryl.

jo C said...

hey penny and yes make it 70 days not 100

monty924 said...

Sliding a Strawberry Margarita over to Squeege...

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny and Sue Gee. I liked Dr Will with the Jury!

jo C said...

but PLEASE BB Gods DO NOT let Paul come back

monty924 said...

Agree, Sharon. Cameron would have been a great player this season if not for his own ego.

jo C said...

hey SueGee how u doing

SueGee said...

Thanks Monte!!

Penny - Not a big fan of Dr Will. He has outgrown his own self image!

And if there is a holiday BB season - a month should do it LOL

monty924 said...

Aww, Bowie Jane's mom and dad in the audience

Cheryl in NC said...

Monty I'll take a margarita please

Sharon N said...


These people make me want to drink... please pass me a maggie too Monty!!

Cheryl in NC said...

These first two comps would have been very difficult for the older group. They will have to change things up if there is any chance for an older winner... Maybe they just need to do a senior version

jo C said...

i agree cheryl we need a season for us older folks and can we have sexy Josh Dumel in it please

monty924 said...

Talk about humiliating...

monty924 said...

Sliding margaritas to Cheryl and Sharon :))

Nickelpeed said...

Wow.

Sharon N said...

Thank you Monty.. yum!

SueGee said...

I think you need one of those big Margarita machines monty!!

monty924 said...

OMG... Jani or any host of other BB players could have done that in under an hour for Pete's sake. 🙄

Nickelpeed said...

LOL, Cheryl.

jo C said...

may i have aanother pina colada monty???

monty924 said...

Yes, Squeege. My niece has a Margaritaville Frozen Concoction machine. I need one too, lol

Glenn Allen said...

The Part two part of the HOH comp went long Jag over an Hour and Bowie Jane over an Hour and a half.

Nickelpeed said...

Come on Matt.

monty924 said...

Here we go..........

jo C said...

Come on Matty Ice

Glenn Allen said...

Pulling for Matt!

Nickelpeed said...

Amazing.

Cheryl in NC said...

Ha I would have no flippin idea on these

monty924 said...

They need to change this comp

Sharon N said...

This might come down to a "Blue" numbers win! LOL

Nickelpeed said...

I hate these number breaks

monty924 said...

This is Bowie Jane's wheel house, lol

Nickelpeed said...

Damn it!!!

Glenn Allen said...

Jag wins final HOH. Does Jag cut Matt?

monty924 said...

Damnit... Jag will cut Matt

Cheryl in NC said...

Man I hope he don't cut matt

jo C said...

OMG jag won PLEASE pick matty ice to take with you

monty924 said...

If Jag cuts Matt, he should win (I hate it, but he should). If he takes Matt, Matt should win.

SueGee said...

Oh nooooooooooo

Sharon N said...

Now we find out if Jag's loyalty is 'real' lol

Cheryl in NC said...

That was actually an easy tie breaker cause they had just showed us the the time a bit earlier.. 😂

Nickelpeed said...

I think Jag has burned so many bridges, he could possibly lose to both. I really want Matt to win. I could be wrong, but he might think his chances to win are greater with Bowie Jane. It doesn't matter who he picks though, he's going to have a bitter person leaving to the jury.

Sharon N said...

Jag was avoiding being alone with Bowie the last 24, but not avoiding Matt.
So we shall see....

monty924 said...

I'm really concerned about our bud Jon. Jon, I hope all is well with you and you just can't make the show posts. Positive thoughts your way...

SueGee said...

I hope Bowie Jane doesn't win, but then again I'll be very mad at Jag if he takes her

Glenn Allen said...

Most in the Jury did not seem to give Bowie Jane credit in the game.

Cheryl in NC said...

I agree Monty...the only good about a Jag win would be Jackie finally wins a pool!!...I myself have never one a pool either.I got 3rd one year

jo C said...

i agree penny jag did burn too many bridges he will get 2nd

monty924 said...

Agree, Cheryl - but they don't tell them the time of the Final HOH comps. They were talking like Bowie dropped in an hour and a half and Matt and Jag lasted 4 hours, lol

SueGee said...

The only reason Jag should win is to make Jackie the pool winner!!

Sharon N said...

I got bragging rights with Kaycee's win. :)
The one and only time... with any of the shows we follow!

Brent McKee said...

Jag should take Bowie Jane but I think he’ll take Matt.

Cheryl in NC said...

Monty me too..same worries for Jon

monty924 said...

Oh Boy.......

monty924 said...

WOW... was this a Cody move?

Nickelpeed said...

This surprises me. He kept his word to Matt.

jo C said...

good job jag way to honor a friendship

Glenn Allen said...

Jag evicts Bowie Jane !Does Bowie Jane vote for Jag?

jo C said...

can we give a toast to Jag for being such a great friend

monty924 said...

I appreciate the loyalty, but he should have went with Bowie Jane. sigh

SueGee said...

Whew

Cheryl in NC said...

Good Jag..and who knows he might win over rmatt. I think it might be close

Sharon N said...

After all the events yesterday, I'm not surprised Jag takes Matt.

Nickelpeed said...

What I admire is, both Matt and Jag stayed loyal to each other. Most people would not do that. They would take the easier win.

SueGee said...

monty924 said...

Yes, jo C. CHEERS to the final 2 🥂🍻

Now let's see how they handle the jury, lol

Jackie S. said...

To All - I realized that I do have Jon's email because he donated. I sent him an email Tuesday night but he has not responded.

Glenn Allen said...

Jon we do hope you are ok.

jo C said...

LOL oh yes

Sharon N said...

Thank you Jackie... I hope you hear from Jon soon.

jo C said...

prayers for Jon and thanks for letting us know jackie

Cheryl in NC said...

Is anybody Facebook friends with Jon??

Judi Sweeney said...

Woooooo Hoooooo! Hi EVERYONE! Raced home to jump in! Thanks Jackie for always bringing us together!

Judi Sweeney said...

I hope Jon is doing OK… thanks Jackie for trying to reach him!

monty924 said...

Thank you Jackie. Please let us know if you hear from him.

Sharon N said...

Hi Judi, glad you made it in!

Nickelpeed said...

That was really not a good answer by Matt.

jo C said...

sorry jag u did not do that

Cheryl in NC said...

Well so much for mr nice jag

jo C said...

jag may have been POV record holder but i do not care realy for his social game

Judi Sweeney said...

Thanks Sharon! Good to see you too!

Cheryl in NC said...

Thanks Jackie for helping us with jon

Glenn Allen said...

Matt is not taking credit for his Moves.

Nickelpeed said...

Tell Jon we miss him, Jackie; and hope he's okay.

Cheryl in NC said...

I think Matt got flustered by Jags first answrr

monty924 said...

I'm calling BS on Jag's answer to Blue

jo C said...

i agree 1000%

jo C said...

im going out on a limb and pick matty ice to win 5-2

Nickelpeed said...

I personally like Matt better, but Jag answered the questions really well. Matt was alittle more reserved, but Jag was very convincing he did it all.

Glenn Allen said...

Jag might become the worse Big brother winner. The first player voted out unanimously might win unanimously.

Judi Sweeney said...

Me too Monty! It was a great question

monty924 said...

My post disappeared... thank you Jackie for reaching out to Jon. Please let us know if you hear back from him.

Cheryl in NC said...

Yea penny Jag taking all the credit and not in a nice way..a little to bragadocious for my taste
Still going for a Matty ice win 4-3 maybe..go matt

monty924 said...

Hey Judi

Cheryl in NC said...

Glenn I don't think of anyone worse than Oah winning..ughhh

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Judi. Thanks, Jackie, for reaching out to Jon.

monty924 said...

Go MATTY...

Cheryl in NC said...

Good speech Matty ice

Nickelpeed said...

He is so arrogant.

jo C said...

great job matty ice

Brenda said...

Hi all! Been watching and forgot to log in.

Cheryl in NC said...

That's not the kind of speech you want to make jag

Nickelpeed said...

He just might be giving the win to Matt. Geesh.

Judi Sweeney said...

Hey Monty and Glenn!!!

monty924 said...

Oh Jag... that was a bit much

Glenn Allen said...

Cheryl I was just thinking that a voted out player is worse then someone never voted out.

jo C said...

i agewe penny he is too arrogany

Sharon N said...

Everyone has told Matt that he'd beat Jag or Bowie... hands down.
He's answering like he "expects" it now. No need to put effort in.

Cheryl in NC said...

That vote might be 6-0 now

Brent McKee said...

A lot of ego from Jag. I don’t think that will go over very well with the jury, but who knows.

Nickelpeed said...

Please don't give it to Jag...please...

monty924 said...

Cirie looks beautiful tonight. Yellow is her color!

Sharon N said...

wow.. Jag's arrogance!

monty924 said...

Felicia voted for Matt

jo C said...

cam and bowie voted for jag like isa id matty ice 5-2

monty924 said...

Hi Brenda... missed you coming in up there

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Brenda and Brent!

Cheryl in NC said...

True glenn..but I bet If he wins.no one will ever let that happen again

Nickelpeed said...

I personally think Matt playing as the deaf player, is far harder than what the others went through. He had to depend on his social game because it's the only way to follow the others.

Cheryl in NC said...

Jo c maybe america too but hopefully Matt pulls it out 4-3

Cheryl in NC said...

Hi Brenda and Brent

Cheryl in NC said...

Agree penny

monty924 said...

Agree 100% Penny. Matt played the most social game of any of them and with a huge deficit. I think he deserves the credit for that.

monty924 said...

Hey Brent

SueGee said...

Hurry up BB we like the after party interviews too!!

SueGee said...

Have they told everyone the Cirie/Jarod connection??

Sharon N said...

SueGee, no they haven't said yet. I think that will be after the vote.

SueGee said...

And maybe, if they are all being honest, Bowie Jane's real age ROFL

jo C said...

i swear izzy looks so bored

monty924 said...

You bet you do, Cirie! Wait til you hear about Jared and Blue gettin' jiggy with it in the BB house.

Nickelpeed said...

SueGee, they just told Cirie/Jared secret.

Jackie S. said...

SueGee- Yes to both Bowie Jane question and her real job. Check the blog entry out. The Cirie/Jared was a fantastic reacted to reveal.

SueGee said...

I wonder how many of them go home and watch all they can of of the feeds and shows?

Some would learn how foolish they really were!

Nickelpeed said...

Jag won.

Glenn Allen said...

Jag won.

jo C said...

im NOT happy about that

Nickelpeed said...

Dang. They voted for him even after his arrogant speech. UGH

monty924 said...

CONGRATULATIONS Jag! And congratulations to Jackie :)))

SueGee said...

Thanks Jackie...I always have two windows open, on the comments and one on your blog. Some nights they refresh agonizingly slow...and w/o a way to be watching live, I'm way behind!!

Cheryl in NC said...

Congratulations Jackie!!
No congrats for Jag..lol

monty924 said...

Come on AFHG - Cirie got all of my votes

SueGee said...

Congrats to you Jackie!! You have won the grand prize of a few night off!!

Brenda said...

Congrats Jackie on the win! I just wish it wasn’t Jag who won!

Jackie S. said...

First time I ever won my own blog pool.

Brent McKee said...

My pool pick loses again. In spite of that egotistical speech Jag gave.

Guess about surprise from the “BB Universe”: Celebrity Big Brother for Christmas.

Nickelpeed said...

I just don't think most of the jury really realized how hard it was for Matt to play this game. It's not easy not being able to hear.

jo C said...

congrats jackie good job

Sharon N said...

Congratulations Jackie!! :)

monty924 said...

Lol @ Cheryl. I should have said it that way too, lol. I'm happy that Jackie won the pool... not so much that Jag won BB.

Nickelpeed said...

What?????

monty924 said...

OMG, lol

The casuals loved him

Nickelpeed said...

Congratulations Jackie!!

Brent McKee said...

Cameron was America’s favourite player? Why?

And they didn’t ask this Canadian.

Nickelpeed said...

I am not Frankie fan.

Sharon N said...

Whelp, now we can all concentrate on AR and Survivor!

Nickelpeed said...

There was a push online to vote Cameron. Who knows why people vote for certain players?

Judi Sweeney said...

Congratulations Jackie!!! Thank you and SueGee for everything you both do! Can’t wait to see everything when it airs in CA! I’m just hanging out with all my BB friends right now!

Nickelpeed said...

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!
