Big Brother Reindeer Games - Ep. 6 Finale Blog Party

 

                                                                                      CBS

While I won't be live blogging the show as intensely as I usually do, I will pop in now and then with a screen shot or comment as well as keeping up with major events. I do hear there's a party going on in the comments section. I hope to see you there! I will fill you in with major things like who wins the comps, who gets the boot, etc. 

Since we have no pool, I'm just keeping track here who gets the boot and what they win on the way out --

Cody Calafiore (BB16 and BB22) Eliminated 2nd/won a fruitcake.
Nicole Franzel (BB16, BB18 and BB22) 
Frankie Grande (BB16)
Taylor Hale (BB24)
Cameron Hardin (BB25) Eliminated 1st/won year subscription jelly.
Brittany Haynes (BB12 and BB14) Eliminated 5th/won men's Christmas underwear and socks.
Josh Martinez (BB19) Eliminated 4th/won ugly Christmas sweater
Xavier Prather (BB23)
Danielle Reyes (BB3 and BB7) Eliminated 3rd/won $5,000

Remaining to play the actual Reindeer Games, we have Nicole, Frankie, Taylor and Xavier. I wouldn't mind it if Frankie is the first boot of the night. Heh.

We get a Previously On. We're working on getting to the four who will compete tonight.

Tiffany remains the Elf in Charge tonight. Two head-to-head semifinal matchups. One final Naughty or Nice tonight. One of the paintings on the wall is a forgery put there by art thieves. Xavier thinks he has it ... and he does!

Xavier will get to make the bracket for the tournament. Decide with whom he wants to go head-to-head and that person starts 30 seconds after him.

He picks Nicole. Frankie and Taylor will do battle in the next part. The winners of the two will battle for the three.

Semi-Finals -- Nutcrackers are broken, need to be fixed. Must attach all 28 gears to their nutcrackers, first to fix and use, advances. Nicole has the 30 second disadvantage.

NICOLE WINS!

Xavier gets the boot. What? No gift going out?

Semi-Finals Part 2- Taylor versus Frankie. Elves are causing mayhem in the North Pole and must be apprehended. Five guilty elves. Knock down five guilty elves. First one done right wins.

TAYLOR WINS!

It will be Taylor versus Nicole at the end.

All of those previously eliminated come in. It's time for the Reindeer Game Final. They are all shocked that Frankie and Xavier got the boot. 

Final Reindeer Game - Acquire magical mistletoe, ancient antlers, sacred snowflake. That will fuel Santa's sleigh and save Christmas.

Taylor gets the mistletoe first.

Taylor has moved on to snowflakes

More evenly matched in snowflakes

NICOLE WINS THE BB REINDEER GAMES!

Who will be cast out into the cold cruel world tonight?

Four challenges today. 

The doorbell rings. It's Tiffany, Elf Ambassador. Naughty/Nice Challenge. Holiday Special Canceled? Elfie has locked himself in Santa's Office. The keys must be found to let him out. NICOLE finds the key!

Her advantage will be someone else's disadvantage. Two Jingle Bell Brawls. Nicole picks one person to sit out. Most think it should be Xavier.

Jingle Bell Brawl One time. Eggnog recipe book misprinted, each recipe missing one ingredient. Sample seven eggnogs, figure what's missing, grab ingredient and win. Nicole sits out Xavier.

TAYLOR wins the Jingle Bell Brawl and a big power! She is the first to advance to the Reindeer Games. She can bring one player with her. She chooses Nicole. 

Frankie, Britney and Xavier will compete in the second Jingle Bell Brawl and the winner of that will go on to the Reindeer Games.

Second Brawl - Asked questions about entertainment performances so far. Two losers must go to Santa's Showdown. Xavier is the first to get one wrong. Then another one. Then another. Britney wrong. Frankie leading. FRANKIE wins. He will be in Reindeer Games. Britney and Xavier have to compete in the Santa Showdown.

Santa's Showdown time. Krampus is putting up anti-Christmas billboards. They must knock them down and put up new signs. They are on ziplines kicking down the bad ones. Britney is not doing well at all. She recovers and both are working on the good sign puzzle.

XAVIER wins!

Britney wins a pair of man's Christmas underwear and socks.

Who will be cast out into the cold cruel world tonight?

Oh, we will have a candy cane rodeo!

Derek X. the Elf arrives with bad news. Jill Frost has disappeared. They have to figure out who took her. This is the Naughty or Nice challenge. The winner is Frankie. Another message from Santa. Next Jingle Bell Brawl pair up with your bestie. Frankie gets to choose his partner and will be able to penalize one pair during the brawl.

Frankie decides on Taylor for his partner. The other guys want guy/girl duos while Nicole and Britney want to work together. It ends up being Josh/Britney and Nicole/Xavier.

Jingle Bell Brawl time! They have to repack their sleighs. Winning duo decides who goes to Santa's Showdown. Frankie, as part of his Naughty or Nice win, can freeze a team.

When Xavier and Nicole were ahead, Frankie froze them for 45 seconds.

Taylor and Frankie win!

One player from each of the losing pairs will go to Santa's Showdown. Frank has to choose between Josh and Britney. Taylor, the other two.

Frankie wants to send Josh and Xavier and work as a team. In the end, Taylor goes with ... a commercial break. She chose Nicole to go to Santa's Showdown. Frankie sends Josh.

Sant's Showdown is a candy cane rodeo!

Yipes! They seemed to fall at the same time and we go to commercial. It turns out that Josh hit the mat first so he's out.

His prize is a Christmas sweater.

Ah, finally to the first one-hour episode. I'm sorry. I'm just having issues with all the long episodes of everything these days!

While I won't be live blogging the show as I usually do, I will pop in now and then with a screen shot or comment. But I do hear there's a party going on in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

Brittany Haynes (BB12 and BB14)
Josh Martinez (BB19)
Xavier Prather (BB23)
Danielle Reyes (BB3 and BB7)

Who will be cast out into the cold cruel world tonight?

Why oh why has Nicole done NOTHING with that messy hair bun all these years?

We can expect drama tonight. Good. 

Uh-oh. The other women are onto the Danielle/Xavier duo.

The doorbell rings and it's Derek X. (BB23), our second Elf Ambassador. It's the Naughty or Nice Challenge. Oh my! The crooner has been dumped by his gal! Eep. He gets to the 9th day and loses it. Santa thinks they can help him figure out why she dumped him. Find scrambled letters on cookies and give him the four-word phrase as to why she dumped him. Winner gets a two-minute head start in the Jingle Bell Brawl.

I have it figured out. "You are too clingy." See if I'm right. I'm right and so is Taylor, the winner of the Naughty or Nice challenge. Both Josh and Xavier offer themselves to Taylor as the Naughty recipient.

Taylor chooses to give the Naughty list disadvantage to Josh.

Jingle Bell Brawl. 

Similar to the tiny tweezer comps

They have to rebuild tiny cookies. Josh can't see his photo of what it should look like for five minutes. NICOLE thought she won but was incorrect and didn't match the image given her. Now, NICOLE won the Jingle Bell Brawl!

Today Santa's Showdown is a one-person comp. That person will choose the next one to play if he/she wins. The second person has less time to play.

Time for the Santa Showdown in the Candy Cane Forest. Mrs. Santa's favorite ornament is trapped in a snow globe. First player gets the most time, each after that gets less. If the person completes it, they choose the next.

She sends in Frankie. He has five and a half minutes. 

Reminds me of the egg through chicken wire but moving.

Frankie finished it in 3.11 minutes. Frankie has to send someone else out. They will have one less minute. Frankie sends Xavier to do it next. Xavier completes it with 17 seconds left on the clock. Now he has to send someone in. He talks to everyone. Britney begs him not to send her. Nicole asks him not to send Britney. 

So ... he sends Britney. SHE BEATS IT WITH a minute 17 seconds left!

Finding out that Danielle is being protected by Xavier and possibly threw her under the bus, Britney chooses Danielle. Taylor had volunteered.

Danielle does not finish the comp. Lots of tears. She is out of the game. Her prize on the way out is the $5,000.

While I won't be live blogging the show as I usually do, I will pop in now and then with a screen shot or comment. But I do hear there's a party going on in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

I will fill you in with major things like who wins the comps, who gets the boot, etc. I'll even throw in a screencap now and again.

Last night, Cameron got sent home. Who will it be tonight?

We get the typical Previously On. We go through the three comps again -- Naughty or Nice, Jingle Bell Brawl and Santa's Showdown.

The doorbell rings and it's Jordan once again. Another crisis. Naughty or Nice -- Cranky Carolers, torn up sheet music of 19 songs and will only sing one. First player to guess song wins Naughty or Nice Power. The advantage today is supposed to be a game-changer. Of course, many are trying to avoid winning as they don't want the power of choosing a Naughty.

We have a winner -- CODY! The doorbell rings again and this time it's the carolers. 

The upcoming Jingle Bell Brawl will be a four-on-four challenge. Win and the team will be safe. Cody's advantage is to choose his team members, he will put one on the opposing team on the Naughty list.

Cody's chosen team is Nicole, Frankie and Xavier. Britney, Danielle, Josh and Taylor are the other team. On the Naughty List, he puts Taylor.

They are in Santa's Village. Each team has to decorate four trees. For her Naughty disadvantage, Taylor has to decorate a small tree before her team can do a tipping tree. The four trees can easily tip as the ornaments weigh different and branches are different lengths.

Despite the team waiting for Taylor, they are ahead with the first tree done.

Red team - Josh, Danielle, Taylor and Britney - are really ahead now!

RED TEAM WINS the Jingle Bell Brawl! They are all safe from elimination tonight. They must all agree to make one person on the other team safe. The other three will head to Santa's Showdown, loser gets eliminated.

The Red Team decides to save Nicole. Xavier, Cody and Frankie must compete in the Santa's Showdown.

Santa's Showdown time. The workshop is full of toys, lists from five picky kids -- stuff they like and hate. Find the gifts that fit their criteria. Can only carry one toy at a time to each gift box. First two players done are safe.

Xavier finishes first and is safe! Frankie finishes second.

CODY will be sent home. His winning package is a fruitcake.

Big Brother Reindeer Games - Ep. 1 Blog Party

 

Welp, we have two hours of games tonight, an hour and a half tomorrow night, then the last four episodes will be an hour each.

Tiffany, Derek and Jordan are the hosting elves.

While I won't be live blogging the show as I usually do, I will pop in now and then with a screen shot or comment.

But I do hear there's a party going on in the comments section! I hope to see you there!

I'm liking the introductions to each competitor. I like Britney so much! And Danielle! 

Santa tells them Christmas is in danger of being cancelled. One player who falls short each day will be sent home. At the end the winner wins 100 grand.

They did better on decorating the house for the holidays than they did for the last several seasons.

Britney and Nicole mend fences. It's a Christmas miracle!

Who could be at the door? Jordan! She's an Elf Ambassador for Santa. Time for their first challenge. First challenge each day will be the Naughty or Nice challenge. They have to solve a riddle -- packages will open with clues to a DJ's favorite song, can only guess once. More on the Naughty or Nice power later.

The winner is Britney. (Up On the Housetop) She has earned the Nice Power, will have an advantage at the next challenge - the Jingle Bell Brawl. She can put someone on the Naughty List.

After talking to everyone, Britney puts the Naughty disadvantage on Cody.

Safety for the day, winner will have a crucial role in who goes home. That's the Jingle Bell Brawl. Letters to Santa have stopped being delivered. They must place their letters in the boxes of others. Then they deliver ones in their box. Britney starts with one less for Nice, Cody starts with an extra trip due to Naughty.

FRANKIE wins the Jingle Bell Brawl. It will be up to him and him alone to decide which two players go to the Santa Showdown. The loser of that goes home.

Frankie chooses to send Cameron and Xavier into Santa's Showdown.

In it, they each have to make a Yeti sweater, 57 sweater parts. It's a giant puzzle.

What the sweater needs to look like.

XAVIER wins Santa's Showdown! Cameron is eliminated and going ho-ho-home. He gets to choose one gift from under the tree. He gets a year's subscription to the Jelly Club.

Regarding BB Reindeer Games

 

CBS

Monday night is the debut of the Big Brother Reindeer Games holiday series. While I won't be live-blogging the six shows per se, I will set up posts on show nights and may occasionally chime in with updates and screen shots. 

There are a few reasons I'm not committing to actual in-depth live blogging the shows. First, we went from a ridiculously long and intense BB25 season into The Amazing Race and Survivor as I blogged all three for a month and am still tied up with the latter two! Plus, I had a bad case of Covid back in September and am still affected by it. And, third ... this is all competitions. Competitions are hard to blog. Believe it or not, it's not easy to be constantly typing while watching a show!

But, since there have been requests, I will put up posts so y'all can go wild updating and partying in the comments area.

CBS

There are only six shows. Here is the schedule:

Monday, December 11 - 9pm-11pm ET/PT
Tuesday, December 12 - 9pm-10:30pm ET/PT
Thursday, December 14 - 8pm-9pm ET/PT
Monday, December 18 - 9pm-10pm ET/PT
Tuesday, December 19 - 9pm-10pm ET/PT
Thursday, December 21 - 8pm-9pm ET/PT

Derek Xiao and Tiffany Mitchell of BB23 and BB11 winner Jordan Lloyd will be hosting the shows. Competing for the $100,000 prize, we have:  

Cody Calafiore (BB16 and BB22)
Nicole Franzel (BB16, BB18 and BB22) 
Frankie Grande (BB16)
Taylor Hale (BB24)
Cameron Hardin (BB25)
Brittany Haynes (BB12 and BB14)
Josh Martinez (BB19)
Xavier Prather (BB23)
Danielle Reyes (BB3 and BB7)

All of them were winners or AFP on their seasons except Danielle and Frankie. Of course, I welcome Danielle into anything BB -- she should have won BB3 had the voting players been sequestered! Um, Frankie? No comment.

There will be NO live feeds; the shows are taped. They apparently did not live together at the BB house which has been done over as Santa's Lodge. The kitchen is now the bakery, HOH room is the office, all is festive and holly-jolly. Some comps will have them going to places like the Candy Cane Forest, Santa's Workshop and Santa's Village.  Each episode consists of three competitions, the last of which determines which player will be eliminated.

So, the first post will be up and running Monday evening. Be there or Santa don't care!

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.

 

BB25: Last Live Feeds of the Season - Day 100

They bid the live feeders adieu.

But had to add their silly M

Here's the last and latest from inside that Big Brother House of Finally Finale:

• Once again, not too much to report.
• Yesterday Bowie made pitches to both of the others.
• She knows she would lose to both, so she's pitching for second place.
• When she talked to Jag, she actually made some excellent points -- if he wins Part Three and takes Matt to the Final Two, he's throwing away the 750 grand.
• However, she thinks he's sure to win against her and she would be satisfied with second place.
• Jag did seem to ponder it for a bit.
• However, he and Matt met up in the bathroom and compared notes on Bowie Jane's talks.
• Her talk with Matt had been more along the lines of an assured win against her, iffy against Jag.
• In the end, it looks like Jag and Matt will stick together in the final two.
• In other news, Matt trash talked America/Cory again.
• They went through all the other players and decided most were overrated.
• They napped ... at one point the guys cuddled together with Bowie Jane awkwardly atop them.
• They each played Solitaire ... solitarily.
• They have not done much housecleaning as of yet. You know Felicia would be going with the vacuum!
• I'm waiting to see if they do something for the feeds close before I post this.
• Live feeds ended at 1:00PM ET.

Big Brother 2 Winner Dr. Will Talks Hosting BB25 Jury Roundtable Video

Since the live feeds are beyond boring today, there's this.

BB25: Season Nearing the End Clips Show Blog Party - Nov. 7

Good evening! Before we get started, I want to remind everyone that Thursday's live two-hour season finale begins an hour earlier than usual. The show will be from 8PM ET/PT to 10PM ET/PT.

Since tonight's show is the clips from over the season, I won't be live blogging quite like normal here. I will give commentary now and then, for sure. As always, the party is in the comments area where everyone can comment on the clips. I hope to see you there!

Just in case it isn't shown on the show, here are the family videos for the jury members --

Jury members get a special message from their loved ones at home 💙. A new episode of #BB25 is tonight at 8/7c. pic.twitter.com/M2PIZcVaIw

— Big Brother (@CBSBigBrother) November 7, 2023

 Despite clips show, we have a Previously On segment. Okay, Jag evicted Felicia again. Let's get on with the show. We will see HOH Part One and the videos from home. Yes, I will live blog that stuff.

They drink their champagne after celebrating final three and they get a feast complete with lobster tails, crab cakes and more. And we are into clips of Felicia asking Mr. B for groceries and other demands. So, the Three are now nicely reminiscing about Felicia. (Unlike they tend to do on a normal basis.)

Now Jag is saying how wild the house is. Matt brings up Red. So, we get Red clips. Then Matt brings up Cirie, cue Cirie clips. Matt must be the starter as he next brings up Hisam. Hisam clips!

Matt mentions great connections. Bowie Jane brings up Cory and America. We get showmance clips. Matt brings up that he misses Reilly. Jag says he's his bromance. We get Matt/Jag clips. Then into Reilly/Matt/Jag clips, back into the bromance.

Bowie Jane says it's like living with family there. We get a few clips of Jared/Cirie. Oops, Izzy Fields came along in the clips.

They're still at the table. It's 8:38PM. They won't have much time to air the video messages or HOH comp Part One. Now they are talking Mecole. Talking about the Diary Room and crying in there.

Now they're talking about house secrets and Cameron's Denzel Washington is Felicia's brother. C'mon, we have ten minutes left!

Finally, videos from home time. Jag's family first. His brother-in-law and sister. Bowie's parents. Matt's mother.

It looks like they will leave us on a cliffhanger with the Part One. Yep, the comp. Big balloon bags suspended, all the multiverses have collided. Ride the BB comic verse bubble. The other verses slam them around and get them messy. The last one on the bubble wins. We see the start.

BB25: Live Feeds HOH Part Two Winner - Nov. 7

 

Don't they even toast the English muffins?

As they have every morning, Matt's scrambled eggs, bacon and an English muffin. Now, I do like that breakfast. But every single day? They don't seem to know how to cook anything else. Hmm ... cereal?

The live feeds went down at about 12:30PM ET. They came back up at about 6:30PM ET.

JAG won Part Two. Part Three of the HOH comp will have Matt versus Jag on the live show Thursday.

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday - Nov. 7

 

How do you cook raw chicken?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of The Trashtalking Three:

• I really don't have much to report.
• There were a couple really long feeds blocks with adoptable animals.
• Maybe they had the reminisce the season bit in one.
• They apparently did not get their videos from home or play Part Two of the HOH comp as not a word was mentioned about either.
• Well, other than Jag and Bowie Jane fussing that Matt won Part One.
• Jag is definitely regretting his choice to send Felicia packing instead of Matt.
• Most of the day was spent trashtalking the jury and pre-jury players.
• Matt seems fixated on the Cory/America showmance and thinks they will be jealous of him and Reilly. @@
• Bowie and Jag are glad the manipulators are all gone from the house. @@
• While they were fussing about food (no Felicia to cook for them!), I was thinking there had to be a good supply.
• I was right.
• They decided to make a chicken dish for dinner.
• That was after Matt made a late lunch of his One Dish Wonder -- scrambled eggs while Bowie Jane cooked bacon.
• I cringe every time I see Matt crack open eggs. He mushes them. I can't imagine how many little crunchy bits are in the scrambled eggs!
• Oh. The chicken is raw. Oh noes! What do we do with this? How will we know it's done?
• Now, I realize they can't Google recipes and such. But, at her real age -- not her BB age -- Bowie Jane should have some kind of basic kitchen knowledge! 
• I get the feeling that neither Matt nor Jag have ever moved away from Mom's home cooking.
• Still, mid-20s should have some kind of idea.
• I guess the juror's roundtable with Dr. Will was last night. Of course, that is taped so we don't see it on the live feeds.
• You'll notice that Bowie Jane is not wearing her winter parka. BB gave them space heaters a week or two ago and they finally have them working to their satisfaction.
• I'm thinking they will HAVE to have Part Two of the HOH comp today for editing purposes.
• Oh ... I posted in comments yesterday that I saw in a Felicia interview that her brother died the week she was on the block with Mecole. Production let her speak to her family and her family wanted her to continue on with the show. She told none of the others about it.
• That's about it!

Too busy talking trash to smile.

Matt and his one dish wonder.
