BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Sept. 17

 

Good evening. Just to give you a heads up -- I'm not feeling well tonight. I seem to have caught some kind of bug. As a result, my live-blogging of the show won't be up to its usual self. I'm also not thrilled that the show isn't starting until 10:30PM ET, either.

My apologies in advance. Oh, and now I'm hearing 10:50PM ET for the start of the show. Sigh.

At least the show tonight is the wall comp which I did cover on the live feeds a few days ago.

We will get to see part of the blow-up between Jared and Cory the day Izzy got evicted.

But we're to the wall first. Oops, back to before the vote. Jared lies to Matt and tells him Jag said they were keeping Felicia. Cory thinks it doesn't make sense that Jag would say anything. Matt blows intel on alliances to Jared. Then Cory gets involved. There is shouting going on. Cory exposes Jared's lies to him as Jared tries to over shout him. Cory did expose Jared's lies and how he lied throwing Jag under the bus.

Back to the comp. Cirie out first in less than ten minutes. Felicia down in just under 19 minutes. America 21 minutes out. Mecole out 27 minutes. Cory 28 minutes out. Jag 35 minutes. Matt 37 minutes. Blue down 43 minutes followed by Bowie Jane. 

JARED wins the HOH! He calls his mother "bro" while hugging her. Eep.

Cameron doesn't feel as uneasy as he thinks others feel. 

Matt and Cameron's punishments are over.

Jared tells Cirie that he wants to nominate America and Cory with a backdoor plan of Cameron.

Nominations ceremony ... that's just what he does. Cory, then America are nominated.

BB25: HOH Wall Endurance Comp Updates - Sept. 14

 

I'm setting this post to go live near the end of the airing of the live eviction show on the East Coast. However, I don't know when the live feeds will kick in. When they do, I'll be updating this!

I did find out that BB19 winner Josh Martinez is hosting (?) it and he posted this photo of the comp on Twitter --

ET times, all still in

9:08PM ET Cirie down

9:11PM ET feeds cut for a minute, all the rest still up

9:12PM ET they get sprayed with bright pink "meat sauce", then steamed again.

9:16PM ET - Meatballs attack

9:18PM ET - Felicia down after taunting the meatballs

9:20PM ET - It's raining on them.

Just a note that Cam is trying to do a play by play and encourage people

9:21PM ET - America down.

9:23PM ET - Another meatballs attack, then the wall tilts.

Into a feeds cut.

Feeds back ... still Cirie, Felicia and America down, all the others remain.

9:27PM ET - Rain, then wall tilt. Mecole down.

Matt seems to be struggling. It's like he's too tall for this comp.

9:34PM ET - Matt, Bowie Jane, Jag, Blue and Jared remain up.

9:35PM ET - Wall tilts, rain, steam. JAG OUT

9:42PM ET - Blue down followed immediately by Bowie Jane

JARED IS THE NEW HOH!

BB25: Live Blogging the Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Sept. 7

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Red or Jag will get the boot! 

I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. As I will constantly be updating, refreshing this page will give you the latest happenings. As always, the real party is in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

Hamster watchers ready?

As per the norm, I'm sitting out the "Previously on" segment. Have fun with that.

Julie's outfit tonight

Hey, we may see the HOH on a Thursday show? The narrator said we would. He may have lied. Can't trust anyone, y'know. We pick up the action after the veto ceremony.

Cameron if fussing about being on the block "thrice." He's determined Red will stay. Red thinks he's secure. Jag is not surprised even though he was told he was a pawn. He thinks he's doing it to make the team stronger moving forward. Cirie thinks Jag is dangerous for her game.

Jared tries his hand at convincing Jag he's the pawn. Felicia talks to Izzy and thinks Jag would be a good target this week.

To the Cory and America flirtmance. He told her it would be a bad look for them to be in the same bed come morning. America tried tanning him up and is encouraging him to grow his moustache. Cory tells us it's been weird but he's enjoying it.

Legend 25 gathers. Cirie thinks it's this week's alliance. Red and Cam are both in the meeting. Cirie is saying they are all still family. Mecole, Izzy and Bowie Jane are with them. Mecole would just like the possibility of sticking to a plan this week.

Felicia tells Mecole that they really shouldn't take a chance on Red and Cam reuniting. Mecole agrees that it would be a problem. Ohh, we do get a live HOH crowning later tonight!

Julie warns us a blindside may be in the works.

It's Red's birthday. Felicia, Izzy, Cirie and Bowie Jane gave him a breakfast in bed. He's thrilled with his awesome houseguests. He's 38. Jared is talking to Red. Red wants Jared to have a "set-down" between him and Red. Jared tells us that it's making him uneasy as the two reuniting is dangerous for the rest of them. He runs to Izzy and Felicia to warn them. Felicia tells us they might have to rethink their plan and consider Red.

Felicia tells Cirie. Now Cirie is worried. Worst of two evils? Red? Jag? Cirie knows Cameron is trying to form alliances without her and the two together ... oh my! Which mess will Mom have to clean up?

To the living room. Julie says they have been going back and forth until the last minute.

Red - Shout outs. Loves them no matter what happens. 

Jag - Shoutouts to loved ones. I appreciate our time. Please vote to keep me. Meme wants that steak I promised her.

The live votes to evict:

Cameron - Jag

Bowie Jane - Jag

Blue - Red (One primary color votes out the other.)

America - Red

To commercial ...

Matt - Red

Cirie - Red

Izzy - Red

Cory - Red

Felicia - Red

Mecole - Red

By a vote of eight to two, Red is evicted. And Bowie Jane smiles. What's up with that? Fake hugs. Cameron is looking evil about it but does hug Jag. Red fake hugs them all. It looked like he was almost expecting it ... but Cameron wasn't. Cameron looks like he's been sucker punched.

Interview - Red thinks Felicia had a lot to do with it. It is like it is. He feels betrayed by Cam and thinks he went on the block because of him. At least he's not crying like he has done a lot of in the house. Julie tells him about Cirie/Jared -- his reply, "That's awesome." Goodbye messages. Bowie Jane tells him people must have flipped and will get revenge. Izzy and Felicia talk about Red/Cam getting back together. Cameron leaves a nice message. Red is really taking this well.

And, in the first time in forever, we have an HOH comp on the live show. Backyard, booths. The HumiliVerse. This week is Humili Week. Jared sits out. "Name That Toot" is the game. Tech has videos colored toots in the house. True or False answers. Three question rounds, seven questions. Has them passing colored gas.

First cloud same color as last. T or F. False. All right.

Two green clouds appeared back to back. True. All right.

There were more red clouds than blue clouds. False. Bowie, Matt and Cirie eliminated.

There were exactly 12 clouds shown in total. True. Felicia, America, Mecole, Jag out

Red clouds followed by yellow. False.

OH GEEZ. CAMERON is the new HOH!

This will be interesting. About the only one safe is Bowie Jane!

Everyone except for Cameron will be Have Nots this week. All on slop, taking turns sleeping in the Have Not room.

Sunday's show is starting at 8:30PM. Next Thursday is 8PM not 9PM.

BB25: HoH Comp Show Blog Party - Sept. 3

 

Good evening! I guess we can totally forget the idea of BB ever having the HOH comp on the Thursday live show ever again. They have made it the Sunday show regular fodder. I guess that does give them something better than the filler stuff they used to show on Sunday nights. Unfortunately, they also block the feeds for the comp. Woe is us. 

That aside ... I will be live blogging this show, constantly updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

For a change, we're starting on time on a Sunday night. As per usual, I'm sitting out through the "Previously on."

All will compete for HOH. We pick up the action just after Jag stays. Matt is happy he's keeping two of his allies -- Blue and Jag. Matt tells Jag ahead of the eviction about the power and that he will be using it. 

Red isn't thrilled that Jag is back in the house. He's a big competitor. Cirie is acting surprised but knew all along. America and Izzy think Matt may have won the power. Izzy really wants to win HOH and nominate Cameron and Red.

Jared tells us Cirie gave him the information about Matt winning and using the power before the vote. So, Jared goes and talks to Jag. Jag is wondering where Jared got the information. Now Cirie is ticked at Jared for his blabbing. She confronts him. Jag is now worried about Cirie. Can he trust her? Meanwhile, Jared is trying to make Jag feel bad. 

The backyard is all done up with hearts. There are two podiums with ABC buttons. Cameron and Jared stand at them by random draw, the rest is an audience setting. BB Odd Couples comp, scramble verse is different unexpected pairings. An image will appear, hit correct button, winner chooses next two to play.

Cameron eliminated. Jared picks Red and Bowie to face off. Bowie out. Red selects Izzy and Jag. Jag eliminated. Izzy picks Red and America. Red was wrong, eliminated. America chooses Mecole and Matt. Matt eliminated. She chooses Cory and Blue. Blue right, Cory out. Blue chooses Mecole and Izzy. Mecole wrong. Izzy chooses America and Blue.

America is eliminated. Blue chooses Cirie and Felicia. Felicia wrong and out. Cirie chooses Izzy and Blue. Blue eliminated. She chooses Cirie and Jared. Cirie eliminated. It's down to Izzy and Jared. Izzy wrong.

JARED is the new HOH. He tells us he's such a competitor. Yeah, right.

Jared is acting like a kid about winning. Red and Cameron talk. Red thinks they will be nominated. Cirie, in the storage room, reminds Jared not to turn into Hisam. Izzy and Cirie both celebrate with him. Cirie tells us she will be happy with whatever decision Jared makes ... as long as it's Cameron. He told her Cameron, Red and Bowie were his thoughts.

Blue talks to Jag. He's her number one. She's nervous about Jared due to his closeness to Cirie and Felicia. Jag knows that Cirie told Jared about the power and his trust in her is diminished.

Felicia has dropped her mic three days in a row. (Not to mention her fall into the hot tub.) This is old footage!

Cory and America are cuddled in the hammock. America tells him she would put Cirie, Felicia or Izzy on the block if she won HOH. She doesn't know why everyone is playing their game. They don't even talk to her. Cory tells her if they do something bold, they could be expendable. He doesn't want America to get him in trouble.

Jared is talking to Cameron in the HOH. Jared asks him about sitting next to Red. Cameron suggests America sitting next to Red. Cameron says he won't fight for Red. Jared thought Cam throwing Red under the bus is a red flag about Cameron.

The Jared talks to Red. Jared tells Red he's leaning towards putting Cam on the block. Red thinks he will be a pawn. Jared tells him that people trust him more than Cam. He says Cameron will be his target. Jared wants Red to realize Cam is not a loyal person.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Jared nominates Red, then Cameron. Red is emotional about it, Cameron is cocky about it.

BB25: We Have a New HOH - Aug. 31

 

The live feeds came back on at 1:19AM EDT. No Cam, Red or Jag on cameras.

Oh my. JARED won HOH. I have no words. It must not have been a spelling bee.

BB25: Pressure Cooker HOH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 27

 

THE SHOW IS DELAYED ON THE EAST COAST DUE TO GOLF. 60 MINUTES IS STARTING AT 7:36PM EDT, SO I EXPECT BB TO START AT 8:36PM EDT. I AM POSTING THIS ON TIME BUT WILL NOT BE UPDATING UNTIL THE SHOW STARTS. HAVE I MENTIONED I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN GOLF?

Good evening! I'm still recovering from covering this one on the live feeds! I will say, spoilers aside, this group of hamsters surprised me and we had ourselves a real pressure cooker, kind of sort of.

That aside ... I will be live blogging this show, constantly updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Finally ... the show is about to start. Previously on segment starts us off.

We get to see Hisam get evicted again and the Kaysar appearance warning the hamsters of the Pressure Cooker. Day 23. They are in there in pitch black -- we have night vision views so we can see. They see nothing. Felicia is in the living room watching the action on the screen in there.

America is thrilled it's the Pressure Cooker. She knows BB's Pressure Cooker was the longest comp in BB history at 14 hours. We get a bit on the many alliances of Cirie.

At 36 minutes, Izzy starts some scat singing bits. They all look painfully bored.

At 1 hour in, Felicia is comfortable snacking and watching. Both her and Cerie have mentioned they don't want Cameron or Red to win. Cameron starts a boring Cameron story. Jared hears something.

Whoa! 1 hour 17 minutes, Jared is out. He gets a card that reads "New Friends." The cover lifts off the enclosure of huge beautiful live snakes! Then the lights go out again. Cirie switched hands and had her shirt sleeve on the button, slipped. She gets a six-pack of beer. Kaysar is announcing the prizes each time.

America talks of her interest in Cory.

Izzy is making noises to throw the others off. At 3 hours 33 minutes, her hand slips as she is having her music in her head dancing her body. She wins a concert. Heavy metal techno club music blasts at them.

In the house, Jared is surly about going out. Izzy is crying. Meanwhile, 5 hours 2 minutes, 6 hours 35 minutes. It goes on. Bowie is out at 8 hours 35 minutes. She wins a pressure cooker for her kitchen. Matt out at 9 hours 40 minutes. He threw it. Matt releases the flies to torment them. (Just to note on the live feeds the flies were all dormant due to the cold in the room. They only lived up later.) 

Red out 10 hours 8 minutes in. He wins a home theater system and a year subscription of Paramount+. Bowie, Matt and Red can now head into the house.

It's down to Cory, Jag, Blue, Mecole, America and Cameron. Cory out, throwing it. He wins Have Not. Must choose two houseguests to join him, old school PB&J. 12 hours 44 minutes and Blue is out. She wins $1,000. 12 hours 50 minutes, Jag snoozed and slipped. His prize is "perfume" that smells of sewage. It wafts into the comp.

Mecole gets attacked by a fly. 13 hours30 minutes and she's out. She wins a dinner party for herself and three houseguests of her choosing. It's down to America and Cameron. Cameron is telling her she's safe. He promises Cory is safe, too. 14 hours 49 minutes, America is out. That's four minutes shy of the BB6 record.

Cameron wins HOH.

The last three come into the house. Cameron gets his key and lots of fake love. He tells us Jag and Blue are dangerous loose ends. Red noticed Izzy didn't seem happy that Cameron won. He doesn't trust her.

Cory and America talk. She tells him she made a deal to protect Cory and herself. Jared and Blue cuddle as they talk with Jag.

Cameron talks to Jag. Jag makes promises. Cameron tells us Jag is the target. He tells Jag that he's the target but it's all about the game. Then he talks to Blue, tells her that he's leveling the playing field by putting her up.

Red still has mistrust in the group as he was left out of the Hisam ouster decision. Now he is leery about Izzy due to her reaction to Cam winning HOH. Backdoor plan? Hmm.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Cameron first nominates Jag, then Blue. He says he loves them both and they are both tremendous multi-faceted players so they can play in the veto.

We got the typical Diary Room bits from Blue and Jag.

BB25: Live Feeds Pressure Cooker HOH Comp Updates - Aug. 24

 

The BB6 Pressure Cooker

Welcome everyone! Once the live feeds get going, I will constantly be updating this post with screen caps and commentary. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! Please join in with your own observations and be a part of the party we'll be having after hours in the comments section! Bring snacks and adult beverages, perhaps even coffee if the BB25 hamsters have any staying power.

All the times I post will be East Coast times. Any times on my screen caps are also EDT. Rules are: Finger on button, no sitting, no kneeling, can squat, no bathroom breaks, must wait for three to be eliminated to leave the enclosure, take numbered card when eliminated, last one remaining is the new HOH.

10:07PM no feeds yet.

10:19PM Feeds are on, all still in.

10:22PM - Felicia is in the house gathering snacks. It seems she is not allowed in the enclosure?

Cameron has one foot up on the bar. Hmm. 

Jared is doing the one foot up thing, too.

They are doing a whistle scat bit.

Cam looks like a clown without his hat on!

10:30PM - Looks like Felicia is preparing some sort of feast inside the kitchen. All still in.

Matt says he's in his own world.

10:35PM - Matt says he's in his own world. They can't see anything in the dark. We know he can't read lips in the dark. He can only hear if someone, especially on his left, speaks loudly.

10:39PM - All feeds go to Felicia in the kitchen for a minute. She's sorting all kinds of bags of food.

10:42PM - Cameron is NOT bald on top. They showed a close-up. It's a bandana.

10:51PM - Felicia is eating in the living room. The monitor is showing her the comp.

10:57PM - At about the one hour mark, all still in it. All bored. I'm bored. So far, nothing showering on them or anything. All just standing there holding their buttons down. No talking even for a while.

11:00PM - Into a quieter scat rhythm. Finally talking. Cirie took her hood down. They think they are at about 20 minutes. Felicia looks bored. Cory thinks Kaysar won the BB6 one. He did tell them the 14 hours right, though.

11:11PM - The a/c is on. Felicia is in the storage room. The light thing in the middle is swinging but they can't see it. Cam decides to tell a story. I will not bore people with the story.

11:15PM - They keep hearing something in the wall. They dismiss it and Cam's boring story continues. Felicia is back in the living room. I feel bad for both Matt and her in this comp. Heck, right now I feel bad for me. All feeds on Felicia now. She's talking to herself -- four more to jury.

11:18PM - Feeds go to adoptable animals. Prior to that it looked like Felicia was about to clean the shower.

11:30PM - Feeds still down. Maybe production didn't like Cam's boring story.

11:31PM - Feeds return - all four on Felicia watching the comp. Her screen is lighter than ours. Looks like all still in but hard to tell.

11:33PM - Wait. Feeds on comp now. Someone is out ... Cirie is out! Looks like Jared is out, too. It's lighter in there now. I'm also lightening the screen caps I post.

Cirie and Jared out when feeds came back on.

11:41PM - All feeds cut to Felicia. Ack, she left the living room and I can't watch on her screen!

11:42PM - Feeds blocked momentarily. Return. All still in except Jared and Cirie. We don't know which one went out first as the feeds were blocked when they were eliminated.

11:45PM - Cirie tells America not to use her shirt under her hand -- "That's what happened to me."

11:58PM - Two hours. Cirie, Jared out of the comp, all others remain. Felicia still snacking watching them on the living room monitor. She's making me feel all kinds of snacky. The lights just went out again.

12:00AM - Cold blasts of air are hitting them.

Live snakes in the middle. 

12:08AM - Izzy started making noises the scare them, then the cold air blasted a few times on them. Bowie can't stay still and is annoying me.

12:27AM - 2 1/2 hours in. No one out of the comp except Cirie and Jared -- they both seem very cold. Izzy bopping to a song in her head which is more entertaining than Bowie's continued movements. Red looks asleep while squatting. Cameron, Cory, Jag and Mecole look like rock solid. Blue looks a bit iffy at times as does America. Matt looks sleepy.

12:37AM - Lights back on.

Snakes with the lights on.

12:53AM - Cam starts another story, this one about Cory. I hope it's better than the last story. Short story, good. Now Cory is telling a story.

12:57AM - Three hour mark. Into a feeds block with the WBRB screen, not animals. All in the comp still except Cirie and Jared. None of the snakes are venomous. BB should set them loose. That would stop the boredom that Cam mentioned just before the feeds block.

1:01AM - Feeds returned. No one new out of the comp. Lights still on.

1:27AM - Three and a half hours in. No one new out of the comp. I swear Mecole hasn't moved at all except for her head. Red is standing but still looks asleep. BB needs to liven this group up!

1:37AM - In the dark again. Then into a feeds block without animals.

1:41AM - Feeds back. No changes, still in the dark. Cold air blasts a minute later. We need ACTION!

1:54AM - Feeds cut at near the four hour mark, then return almost immediately. Izzy out while bopping right before the feed cut again!

1:59AM - Four hour mark. Izzy, Cirie and Jared (the Fields family minus adopted son Matt) out. Feeds still blocked.

2:02AM - Feeds came back for about a minute. Izzy, Cirie, and Jared gone from the room. Kaysar was on a screen in the room. Then strobe lights started and odd not music noise. It's kind of like that techno club music a bit ... or an MRI with echoes.

2:06AM - The out of the comp three are in the house with Felicia.

2:11AM - Lights came back on with a spotlight on the snake enclosure. "Music" still playing. In the house Jared is telling Cirie and Izzy that Hisam told him to never trust Cirie and Felicia.

2:14AM - Music stopped and all feeds went to the house for a moment, then back to the comp.

2:24AM - Now all four feeds on the house hamsters. The are in the living room, the rest are still in the comp.

2:25AM - Feeds back to the comp, lights still on. The house discussion is largely about not trusting Bowie Jane. Cirie is ticked at Jared not sharing intel from others concerning them in a timely manner.

3:15AM - Gah. My internet went down. All still in the comp except for Cirie, Jared and Izzy.

Blogger issues! Trouble updating. Check comments if no recent updates here.

3:56AM - Six hours in. All still in the comp except for Cirie, Jared and Izzy.

More after the page break --

BB25: HOH Show Blog Party - Aug. 20

 

Good evening! I guess we can totally forget the idea of BB ever having the HOH comp on the Thursday live show ever again. They have made it the Sunday show regular fodder. I guess that does give them something better than the filler stuff they used to show on Sunday nights. But at least show the comps on the live feeds as they go down after the live show!

That aside ... I will be live blogging this show, constantly updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Let's start off with a recap! I guess the show is getting what they want -- a showmance segment is expected.

We pick up the new action after Reilly's Memory Wall photo went grey. There's a movement to get Hisam out with Cameron leading the charge. Cirie thinks it's great that it would be Cameron with the blood on his hands. Blue is crying to us about Reilly leaving. Now Jag, but no tears. We do see Reilly telling her alliance to vote with the house and not risk their games for her.

She's gone and Matt cries. Jag and Blue are with him but can't do much to console him.

Hisam is all dressed up like a bad salesman to host the HOH comp. A bunch of large noses are in the yard. The comp is Snot a Winner from the Humiliverse. It's one of the crap shoot type comps having them roll a ball and eventually hit a number. Two lowest are Have Nots.

Matt 10. Cory 20. Mecole 27. Two fives in a row, one America, the other Red. Cirie 29. Izzy 45. Felicia 53. Jag ... into commercial ... 37. Blue 12. Cameron 27. Jared 42. Bowie Jane 48.

FELICIA WINS THE HOH COMP!

Red, America and Matt are Have Nots for the two lowest scores. Felicia has to, when called, take snot showers, each time choosing someone to go with her. First snot, green slime and she chose Bowie.

Blue seems to be crying to us over nothing. Hisam is sure he's safe this week and feels amazing! Matt and America talk -- they both think they are probably safe this week. More tears from Matt about Reilly. He tells us he's not sure where he stands with Felicia.

Izzy tells us it should be a backdoor plan and Cirie confirms it. Cirie, Izzy and Felicia talk in the HOH Room - we saw no HOH room reveal or letter from home or anything. Felicia is considering the backdoor Hisam but she doesn't want the HOHship to come back to bite her.

More snotting. This time she brings Blue. Izzy next. Jared. 3:05AM -- Jag. Matt. They all have to watch from the stands. Hisam.

Hisam talks to Felicia in the HOH. He tells her he wants Jag out. She tells him she was thinking Cameron. He tells her Jag is aligned with Matt and Blue -- Matt should be put up with him.

Jared and Blue are flirting. Jared tells us he can't see himself showmancing just yet ... but. Definitely a flirtmance. He tells us she's bluetiful. 

Felicia talks to Jag, telling him she needs him and Cameron to be the pawns. Jag is worried. He knows pawns can go home. Felicia tells him she needs Jag to be comfortable. He would be comfortable with Jag on the block.

Matt is talking to Cirie and Izzy. They are getting to know each other. He tells us it was good to talk to them about his disability. Cirie tells us Matt is educating her about deafness and Matt himself.

Cameron's turn in the HOH room to talk to Felicia. She tells him that she wants to backdoor Hisam and would like to use him as a pawn and to try to win the Veto. Felicia tells us their hope is that Cam will win the veto.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. And, of course, it's Snot-o'clock. Cory has to go with her. That's the last one, punishment over. In slime, she has to go through with the ceremony. She nominates Jag, then Cameron. She says they had court today, it was in session and thank you all for attending. She tells us again the plan is to Backdoor Hisam.

Both nominees vow to win and want Hisam gone. Hisam tells us he doesn't need to win any comps right now and feels safe.

BB25: We Have an HOH Winner Bulletin - Aug. 17/18

Hisam must have hosted

 Yes, we have a new HOH in the house! No, we didn't see the comp play out on the live feeds.

FELICIA IS THE NEW HOH!

Really ... she is. I wouldn't lie to you. 

Felicia has the key!

BB25: HOH Competition Show Blog Party - Aug. 13

But first ... this is the third and final version of our blog pool. When Luke got the boot, his blog folks were reassigned. At least one was reassigned to Kirsten who went out immediately after. So, in the interest of fairness to all, those assigned to Kirsten have been reassigned. From this point forward, when your hamster is out, you are out of the pool. Well, you can hang out at the pool, but ...!

Let's go! Okay, it's now 9:11PM EDT and 60 Minutes has ended. Bring on BB!

We begin with the traditional recap going over the many alliances and happenings.

Where did the houseguests go? We will find out tonight. Day 09 has them in a neighborhood in the Nether Region of the ScaryVerse. One will become HOH, one will be left behind in the Nether Region. Reilly cannot play. She can escape now or remain for eternity there.

The NetherGorgon will attack different areas but give them clues where they can be safe. There are limited spaces to hide in each spot. If he attacks "your" area, you are eliminated.

It's safe to be where crows number more than three, ax, doll with no left arm. (Odd clues indeed.) Blue is out, along with Mecole and Cameron. There were not enough crows on the porch to protect them.

Clues: Keep out sign, seven candles, rats and spiders. Those are the safe area. Jag out. America out. Cirie and Izzy out.

Clues: Any zone six bones, doll with a backwards head, ten links in one chain. Cory out (he threw it), Felicia out, Red out. Bowie Jane out. Down to just Hisam and Jared in it.

Clues: Two doors, search Nether Region for three carvings which lead them to the door. The first to the right door transported to HOH room, loser remains in Nether Region. Jared picks a door first and Hisam has to go to the other one. Hisam's door opens, Jared is stuck there! The carvings all together read "Don't choose the door that starts with 4." Jared had chosen 486 because he was missing a clue and knew 4 was a clue, just not that he wasn't supposed to choose it!

Now Jared is on the screen from the Nether Region. Cirie is worried. Hisam is the new HOH.

So, now the show suggests a showmance with Matt and Reilly. Can't they go until one actually develops? Reilly's crew knows it's a house divided and they will likely lose someone.

Jared is on the screen again. He doesn't say much of what's going on. 

Hisam tells Felicia that Reilly is a target because she mentioned taking him out. He had confronted her, and she admitted it. Felicia said if Reilly goes that whole side will crumble. Hisam talks to Matt. He tells him he knows there is a name for their alliance and Matt denies it. Matt is on the spot and not being all that honest with Hisam.

The ScaryVerse ball is glowing and Jared is back from the Nether Region. They get a clue. Cameron reads the others will be sent to the Nether Region, could be good or bad. Jared has to choose one to send -- that person will be safe from nominations as he/she will not be there. He talks to Hisam who tells him not to send Matt, Reilly or Cameron. He talks to all and is torn. Cirie suggests Jag. Reilly confronts him and begs him to save her.

The Nethergorgon wants the next soul. Jared chooses Jag. Reilly looks upset. She tells us it doesn't make sense that he didn't guarantee her safety. Jag tells us he doesn't know either.

Hisam talks to Izzy and Cirie, tells them that Reilly is his target. Does he put up Cameron or Matt with her? Both women suggest Cameron. Hisam goes on to let Cameron know he may go on the block with Reilly but that she would be the target.

Nominations Ceremony time. Jag shows on the screen. Hisam nominates Reilly, then Cameron. Hisam tells them he is playing with integrity and purpose. Jared feels bad.

BB25: Live Feeds Return, HOH - Aug. 11

 

The feeds are finally back on. Is that the HOH necklace on Hisam?

Yep.

Still getting details. They all had their luggage with them and are talking about what a fantastic comp it was.

Jared is in the Nether Region for a week? Hmm. They don't know if he will return for the Veto comp or anything. Apparently, he cannot be nominated. They said there is another place away from the house (which is where they were.) They saw Jared on a screen. I don't know ... it's all very confusing and they seem confused as well.

When Reilly mentioned the card from the "incident" yesterday, the feeds cut, then returned to a different room.

Now they have the backyard at 4:16 my time (1:16am their time).

Cirie and Izzy are talking. Cirie said Hisam was going to put up Blue and Jag, then backdoor Cameron. That could have been a previous plan. Cirie is glad that Jared didn't win HOH -- she thinks he doesn't think long haul in the game, and it isn't the right time for him. 

But Hisam is talking to Felicia saying Reilly is his number one and the other two on his list are Matt and Cameron. He is thinking Cameron and Reilly on the block with Reilly being told that she's a pawn.

Cameron and Jag are talking. Cameron thinks he, Jag, Matt and Reilly may be targeted. He thinks Cory and Jared were a bit close with the other side. Matt's lipreading seems exposed.

Hisam's HOH storage room

The HOH room isn't open yet. Hisam got photos, a goody basket and a letter from his family in the storage room. They took all the stuff upstairs and the door did indeed open. Weird.

BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Aug. 6

 Come one, come all! It's time to watch the HOH comp, find out what the HOH will do this week and what's going on with nominations since the show itself already put four on the block and, last but not least, where did Cory go? The Nether Region sounds like a not too pretty place to be!

I will be updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh your page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments section. Please feel free to join in on the fun!

We start off with a recap. Yawnsers! Okay, they're entering the house to find Cirie. No, they won't be telling people. Izzy pulls Jared aside. She knows who he is from Cirie's social media. Izzy promises to keep it secret.

They're checking out the rooms. The Scary Room, Scrambled Room, etc. Jag and Reilly have already clicked. Red and Cameron talk. Cameron refers to himself as the Space Cowboy. Mecole thinks that Red and Cameron are hilarious.

Cirie meets up with Izzy and Jared in the storage room. Cirie tells us that she will make Izzy totally trust her.

They have all gathered to introduce themselves. OOHH! The ScaryVerse room has Cory reenter the house. He has a message. "Thankfully Cory was only there a short time, one of you won't be so lucky next week." The introductions continue.

They get a message from the HumiliVerse asking for volunteers for Have Not. Luke, Cory, Jared and Hiram volunteer. They have to spin the dial to find out how many times their butt gets kicked to leave.

Cirie is already advising Jared on gameplay. She's in tears talking to us about him.

Early alliances (or not) are forming. Luke, Reilly, Jared, Matt and Kirsten become the Phalynx Five Alliance. Cirie bonds with Kirsten. Cirie tells us her main goal is to stay in the house day to day. While Kirsten bonds with Cirie, Jared tells her he doesn't trust Kirsten. Felicia talks to Cirie Then Felicia talks to us telling pointing out that Kirsten is just trying to save herself, doesn't care about her or Cirie.

Finally, comp time. The four nominees -- Cory, Felicia, Jared and Kirsten -- have to sit out the comp. The HOH will take two nominees off the block. Balance beam course to button avoiding swinging obstacles. "Crash Course in Comics" is the name. They are called one by one with the rest downstairs and not being able to watch.

Blue is first and gets bonked by a Pow graphic sign. 1.36 is her time. Cameron is next. He tells us he doesn't want to win. 53.11. Red is up next. 50.56. America's turn. Ran out of time. Hisam up - 22.49. Bowie Jane - out of time. Reilly - 16.03. Izzy out of time, Cirie too, Luke, Matt, Mecole, Jag throws it.

Reilly is HOH!

Reilly thinks that the two people she takes off the block may be good for her game in the long run. Felicia throws Kirsten under the bus to her. Then Jared does, too. He tells her if she helps her she will also end up with Cirie and Felicia. Cirie talks to her about Kirsten being a loose cannon. 

She tells Cirie that Kirsten is her target and she needs a pawn of one of the other two. Cirie tells Reilly she thinks Jared is a good kid. Cory also talks to Reilly. 

Nomination Ceremony time! Reilly takes off Jared first, then takes off Cory. That leaves Kirsten and Felicia remain on the block. Reilly thinks highly off both and says the decision was difficult, wishes them well with Veto.

Kirsten cries, feels betrayed. Reilly tells us her target is Kirsten. Felicia tells us she's devastated but promises us they won't be saying "Bye, Felicia" on eviction night.

BB25: Live Feeds HOH Winner Bulletin

 

Yes, we do have an HOH winner! The feeds were down for more than a couple of hours and, when they returned, it was indeed for the HOH comp. Now, what the HOH will do this week with four hamsters already on the block is unclear. I will be posting a more complete report tonight and hopefully have some answers to those issues!

Reilly is the first HOH winner, wearing the key!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Season Finale Show Blog Party

 

The Final Three bid us adieu on the live feeds.

Well, this is it. I believe we have a final three no one would have predicted -- Turner, Taylor and Monte. At least no one floated to the finish this season! All three have won at least a couple of big comps.

Tonight's taped segments should include the finish of the hot dog clutching Part One of the HOH comp, the second part of the three-part HOH comp and the Round Table. Although the winners of Part One and Part Two are known by feeds watchers, I ask people not to mention them in the comments until they air on the show.

Live on the show will be Part Three of the HOH comp which will be the winners of Part One and Part Two competing. The winner of that part then will decide the last eviction and we will be at the final two. Then there are the jury questions, and some choose me speeches. And THEN, we will have a winner of the $750,000. After the winner is crowned, we will have the Favorite Houseguest announcement.

The Esteemed Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool and here are our final three:

Monte    - Sally, Willie J, Rodney
Taylor    - CherylNY, Donna in AL, Cherry Pie
Turner (Matt)- Bizaro22, Glenn Allen, Jasonuwp

Jury

Indy

Joseph

Jasmine

Kyle

Terrance

Michael

Alyssa

Brittany

I will be live-blogging, updating this post constantly as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news. Asa always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun! 

Hamster watchers ready? Got your snacks and adult beverages? Let's get this finale ON!

Julie is wearing a simple red dress tonight. Previously on and on. We know this stuff. Bring on the hot dogs! Weinerpalooza!

82 days ... a rather short season, but this past week lasted at least two weeks for me!

Ah, finally Day 79 and the hot dogs! Monte's arms actually fit around his hot dog to the slot on the far side. The other two have to use the hand grips. Turner tells us he gets dizzy easy. Taylor is down at 36 minutes. Monte out at 46.04 minutes. 

TURNER wins Part One of the final HOH comp! Julie promises us Dr. Will and the Roundtable.

Part Two - Zipline Veto Stage/HOH Stage. Fill in the comps in the proper order on both billboards. Festival Line Up. They can only take two "signs" across with the zipline each time. Taylor is up first. She got the order right the first time but this is a timed event, too.

Monte's turn. He gets them right the first try, too. Who was the fastest?

Taylor - 7.04, Monte - 6.41 

MONTE wins Part Two and will go up against Turner in Part Three.

Turner thinks it's a good thing. In week two, he and Monte made a final two pact. Turner tells him he will take him if he wins. Monte thinks the decision is tough and he would have a better shot at winning against Taylor.

The Round Table -- The jury thinks the smart move would be for Monte to join them, but it is indeed Brttany as they thought it would be. They talk about Turner playing a good game. Michael thinks that Monte is the one who got him out and Turner doesn't own up to things. He is quite anti-Turner. Alyssa and Terrance speak up for him. 

Joseph thinks Taylor plays with strategy as opposed to Turner. Jasmine says Taylor's big move was making through being on the block five times. Will wants to know what she did strategically. Kyle says relationships. Michael says she got others to put up her enemies.

Monte -- only on the block once as a pawn. Michael seems quite pro-Monte. Indy says he was one of her closest friends in the house. Brittany thinks he's getting sloppy socially. Terrance thinks he never really connected with him. 

Dr. Will is looking so grey. I feel so old.

Time for Part Three of the HOH Comp! Monte and Turner have a divider between them. Jury Fest. How well do you know the jurors. Jury fest video, three statements about the juror. Which statement is false. Eight videos.

1. Indy's Psychic Booth - Both right.

2. Jasmine's Muffin Truck - Both right.

3. Joseph is a security guard - Both right

4. Kyle's Dance Party - Both right.

5. Terrance's Tattoos - Both right.

6. Michael's Carnival Games - Monte right

7. Alyssa's Info Booth - Both wrong

8. Brittany's Meditation Station - Monte right

MONTE wins the Final HOH!

To the living room --

Turner - Final two, loyalty, love you, your decision

Taylor - World and moon if you take me to final two. Easy win for you to take me.

Monte chooses to evict ... TURNER. He goes out graciously. He tells Julie he is shocked, not mad. He would have taken Monte to the final two. He is very good with Julie.

Jury question time! Turner joins them. Michael and Terrance correctly guessed it would be him. Three total questions for each finalist.

Kyle - Monte - other than using Michael veto, what was your pivotal move to final two? He says evicting Turner.

Michael - Taylor - You were big target, did you adapt your game to get this far? Being who I am and played how I wanted to.

Joseph - Monte - Biggest blunder? Didn't stay true to himself in protecting Michael and Brittany.

Jasmine - Taylor - Move you orchestrated? Alliance with Michael/Brittany, joined Leftovers, protected girls the best she could.

Brittany - Monte - Where did you take a risk in the game? Make sure Nichole and Daniel didn't use veto and risked being evicted the next week.

Indy - Taylor - On the block weak game play? Resilient, blockbuster.

Turner - Monte - Biggest move was breaking our final two. Why should you get my vote? Heard you and Kyle had a final two after Dyre Fest.

The speeches --

Monte - Beautiful members of the jury. Played a strong competitive game, lists his wins and alliances. No false promises. Only touched the block twice, only one time on eviction night. Instrumental in getting two top competitors out -- Michael and Turner.

Taylor -  Likes Monte's speech. Won three comps, two of them HOHs. Sat on the block six times on eviction night. Continued to fight as a woman does. Called names, attempted all white alliance formed. I am not a shield, I am a thorn. Resiliency! Challenging you what kind of winner you want this year!

Time to vote:

Indy - One of my favorite people

Jasmine - Voting for person carrying on what I should have

Joseph - Love you both, voting for the sword of the season

Kyle - Both deserving, voting to rep the season.

Terrance - Love you both

Michael - Strongest player

Alyssa - Take our power back

Brittany - Love you both

Turner - Just made up my mind

Time for the early non-jury evictees to show up Joseph was asked about Dyre Fest, says he did everything he could to protect Taylor and Brittany. Onto profession lies. Michael is a criminal defense attorney. Joseph admits he's the second lawyer. Ameerah talks of the Monte/Taylor showmance. Taylor says he's a close friend. Monte agrees and pleads the fifth. Alyssa and Kyle ... he hopes it will work out. Pooch - you volunteered to go home, Pooch yourself new BB lingo. 

Who ate Jasmine's muffin? Turner 'fesses up and says he ate it in the Diary Room.

Time to reveal the votes:

Turner - Monte

Brittany - Taylor

Alyssa - Taylor

Michael - Taylor

Terrance - Taylor

Kyle - Taylor ...

TAYLOR WINS bb24! 

Joseph, Jasmine and Indy all voted for Taylor.

Top Three Favorite HG - Michael, Taylor and Kyle.

TAYLOR also wins that!

Congratulations blog pool winners! CherylNY, Donna in AL, Cherry Pie!
