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.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  18. 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

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

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  21. a pina colada please bartender

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  24. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sliding a frozen Pina Colada to jo C

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

    Hey Sharon

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

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

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

    Squeegee

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  32. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hear that Matty? You better own your game!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi Sharon, Cherry Pie, SueGee and Cheryl.

    ReplyDelete
  36. hey penny and yes make it 70 days not 100

    ReplyDelete
  37. Sliding a Strawberry Margarita over to Squeege...

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

    ReplyDelete
  39. but PLEASE BB Gods DO NOT let Paul come back

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

    ReplyDelete
  41. hey SueGee how u doing

    ReplyDelete
  42. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  44. Monty I'll take a margarita please

    ReplyDelete

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

    ReplyDelete
  46. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  48. Talk about humiliating...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Sliding margaritas to Cheryl and Sharon :))

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  52. may i have aanother pina colada monty???

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  55. Ha I would have no flippin idea on these

    ReplyDelete
  56. They need to change this comp

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

    ReplyDelete
  58. I hate these number breaks

    ReplyDelete
  59. This is Bowie Jane's wheel house, lol

    ReplyDelete
  60. Jag wins final HOH. Does Jag cut Matt?

    ReplyDelete
  61. Damnit... Jag will cut Matt

    ReplyDelete
  62. Man I hope he don't cut matt

    ReplyDelete
  63. OMG jag won PLEASE pick matty ice to take with you

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  67. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  69. 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...

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  72. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  74. 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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  78. Monty me too..same worries for Jon

    ReplyDelete
  79. WOW... was this a Cody move?

    ReplyDelete
  80. This surprises me. He kept his word to Matt.

    ReplyDelete
  81. good job jag way to honor a friendship

    ReplyDelete
  82. Jag evicts Bowie Jane !Does Bowie Jane vote for Jag?

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  87. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  88. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Yes, jo C. CHEERS to the final 2 🥂🍻

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

    ReplyDelete
  90. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Jon we do hope you are ok.

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

    ReplyDelete
  93. prayers for Jon and thanks for letting us know jackie

    ReplyDelete
  94. Is anybody Facebook friends with Jon??

    ReplyDelete
  95. Judi Sweeney11/09/2023 9:06 PM

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

    ReplyDelete
  96. Judi Sweeney11/09/2023 9:07 PM

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  98. Hi Judi, glad you made it in!

    ReplyDelete
  99. That was really not a good answer by Matt.

    ReplyDelete
  100. sorry jag u did not do that

    ReplyDelete
  101. Well so much for mr nice jag

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

    ReplyDelete
  103. Judi Sweeney11/09/2023 9:13 PM

    Thanks Sharon! Good to see you too!

    ReplyDelete
  104. Thanks Jackie for helping us with jon

    ReplyDelete
  105. Matt is not taking credit for his Moves.

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

    ReplyDelete
  107. I think Matt got flustered by Jags first answrr

    ReplyDelete
  108. I'm calling BS on Jag's answer to Blue

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

    ReplyDelete
  110. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  112. Judi Sweeney11/09/2023 9:18 PM

    Me too Monty! It was a great question

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

    ReplyDelete
  114. 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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  117. Hi all! Been watching and forgot to log in.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  120. Judi Sweeney11/09/2023 9:24 PM

    Hey Monty and Glenn!!!

    ReplyDelete
  121. Oh Jag... that was a bit much

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

    ReplyDelete
  123. i agewe penny he is too arrogany

    ReplyDelete
  124. 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.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  127. Cirie looks beautiful tonight. Yellow is her color!

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

    ReplyDelete
  129. Hi Brenda... missed you coming in up there

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

    ReplyDelete
  131. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  133. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Hurry up BB we like the after party interviews too!!

    ReplyDelete
  135. Have they told everyone the Cirie/Jarod connection??

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  138. i swear izzy looks so bored

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

    ReplyDelete
  140. SueGee, they just told Cirie/Jared secret.

    ReplyDelete
  141. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  142. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  143. im NOT happy about that

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

    ReplyDelete
  145. CONGRATULATIONS Jag! And congratulations to Jackie :)))

    ReplyDelete
  146. 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  147. Congratulations Jackie!!
    No congrats for Jag..lol

    ReplyDelete
  148. Come on AFHG - Cirie got all of my votes

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  151. First time I ever won my own blog pool.

    ReplyDelete
  152. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  153. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  154. congrats jackie good job

    ReplyDelete
  155. Congratulations Jackie!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  156. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  157. OMG, lol

    The casuals loved him

    ReplyDelete
  158. Cameron was America’s favourite player? Why?

    And they didn’t ask this Canadian.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  161. Judi Sweeney11/09/2023 9:56 PM

    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!
