BB25: Power of Veto and Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Nov. 5

 

Welp, we're getting down to the wire here (finally). Tonight, the final four become the final three. Bowie Jane won HOH. It's likely she will nominate Felicia and Matt.

Although the eviction itself is live, we will have a whole bunch of previously taped material in the show. All four hamsters play for veto. That comp was indeed taped. However, the veto meeting will be live on the show tonight.    

The winner of the veto comp has all the power this week as he or she will be the sole vote to evict. If either Matt or Felicia win the veto, they would take themself down and Jag would be the only one who could go up. Then the veto winner would vote to evict. If Jag wins veto, he cannot use it as he is the only option to go on the block. If Bowie wins it, she can either keep noms the same or replace one with Jag.

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. Here's where we stand ...

Felicia - Dr Celine, Auntie Leigh, NoraM, T-Town Chick

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

Day 96. Soon Bowie Jane will make her nominations. We travel back in time to Day 93 and Bowie Jane winning HOH. She tells us since she's in a final two with Jag and doesn't want to put him up. Matt tells us he would like to keep his record of not going on the block. Felicia knows she will be nominated. Jag proposes Bowie Jane think of a number between 1 and 100 and whoever is closest (him or Matt) will stay off the block. Little does Matt know that Bowie Jane and Jag set this up beforehand.

Nominations Ceremony time. Bowie Jane nominates Matt, then Felicia. She tells them there is no one left to put up (Jag?) and go after the veto.

Jag wants to win the veto and decide who is there with him and Bowie Jane. Felicia knows her days. She asks Mr. B for a days comp.

Cirie joins the jury house. Cirie blames Matt and Jag for her eviction. She's right, of course. She shows them the video. She points out to them that Jag wanted her out, not Matt. Cam is impressed with Jag. Cirie says she would like to see Matt win the game.

Taylor Hale, BB24 winner, is on with Julie now. She's been working with Entertainment Tonight. She and Joseph are just good friends now. Julie asks about the long season. Taylor is an advocate for the social game. Julie asks her about why each of the four should/could win.

Veto comp time! (Taped, of course.) A space theme. They go into individual rooms with planets on the walls. The ScrambleVerse has scrambled the timeline. It is a days comp!

The veto comp

Jag wins the Power of Veto! (Of course, he does.) 

Felicia wants to try to convince Jag to evict Matt. We'll see how that goes. She talks to Jag and points out that Matt is his biggest competitor. She points out that relationship wise, Matt might be better.

To the living room. 

Matt - Shout outs. Love Mama Fe, thanks for keeping us well-fed. Love BJ and Jag.

Felicia - Shout outs. Houseguests, has been my pleasure. Tried to play the game with truth and trust, the ones in here did it best. Love all three.

Jag votes his vote to evict Felicia. He was very nice about it.

The final three are yelling MAFIA and giving their M hand symbols.

Felicia talks to Julie. She says that Jag really had a loyalty to Matt and understands it. She doesn't think he made the right choice for his game.

Julie talks to the final three. She tells them that the battle for the three-part final HOH begins shortly. Julie hints that the BB universe has a holiday surprise in store. I'm thinking it could be the rumored Legends season.

BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Nov. 2

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Cirie or Felicia will get the boot. Just having the both of them on the show this season has been a joy for me. I just wish that production had geared the comps a bit away from the ones 20-something year old comp beasts can just stomp through. After all, the game is ALSO a social game!

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!

But first ... let's get that blog pool posted. Lifeguard SueGee updated the blog pool and here's where we stand going into tonight's show:

Felicia - Dr Celine, Auntie Leigh, NoraM, T-Town Chick

Bowie Jane - Jasonuwp, Sally, Rachel C, Jessica U, Joyce Johnson

Cirie - Petals, Janice, Krysta, RJM in SC, Skyriverblue

Matt - Brenda, Helenann2k, Brent McKee, Chrob61

Jag - Barbara W, Jackie, Donna in Alabama, Mary C

Hamster watchers ready?

Julie's outfit tonight

Skipping out on the Previously On. Yeah, we know Jag wants Cirie out and Matt's HOH is Jag's, so ...

Day 93. Julie tells us of the final three alliance of Matt, Jag and Bowie Jane with them telling both Cirie and Felicia are the pawns.

We pick up the action after the Veto Meeting. Jag needs to get Matt on board with his plan to evict Cirie. Sure, Cirie is better for Jag's game. But Cirie staying is better for Matt's game. Of course, Matt doesn't have a vote this week. Bowie Jane joins them and agrees with Jag that they need to evict Cirie this week, Felicia next week. Jag thinks they should tell both of them they are good, then blindside Cirie.

Cirie talks to Bowie Jane who does promise her her vote. Yeah, vote to evict. Cirie feels uneasy and nervous.

They both look very nice tonight.

But first ... a visit to the jury house. Cory meets up with Cameron. All is friendly enough. Blue arrives. Then America arrives. She blames Jag for her exit. Cameron is surprised that Bowie Jane has won two HOH comps. Cory would like Matt to win.

We will find out how to vote for AFP tonight. But not yet!

Potential cracks in the Minutemen alliance? Hmm. Felicia thinks that Jag is lowkey insulting Matt regarding his Olympic status. Felicia tells him that they're insulting him, both Bowie Jane and Jag. He can't hear it. Aw. Jag knows something is bothering Matt. He talks to him and Matt tells him what Felicia said. Jag denies it. Jag is upset. He tells us that they could vote Felicia out.

Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag meet up in the HOH room. Is Felicia crossing the line? But now even Jag is saying that maybe she misinterpreted something. He still thinks Cirie should go. But now Matt is saying Felicia should go. (I call it editing!)

To the living room ...

Cirie: Shout outs. Thank you for 93 amazing but crazy days.

Felicia: Shout outs. It's been fun. Mustard seed faith.

The votes to evict:

Jag - Cirie

Bowie Jane - Cirie

Cirie is gone. It's been great having her on this season! She hugs them all and is gracious. The final four hug after she leaves. Goodbye messages -- Felicia loves her, Matt will miss her, love. Bowie Jane - a pure game move. Jag -- convinced Matt to target her.

HoH comp time!  ChenBot comic. Will show two pages, ask questions, show two more, ask more ... seven questions total.

1. Jag gets one point.

2. All get a point

3. Bowie Jane gets a point

4. Jag/Felicia get a point

5. Jag/Bowie Jane get a point

6. Bowie Jane gets a point

7. Jag/Bowie Jane get a point

Tiebreaker - In seconds how long was Trick or Treat luxury comp? Bowie says 1690, Jag 1500. 

BOWIE JANE wins HOH!

AFP - 50 grand ... cbs.com/bbvote

The Amazing Race 35: Driving Head-On Into Scooters - Ep. 6 Blog Party

 

Tonight we will see what happens with the mandatory blind vote U-Turn. Eep!

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

Lifeguard SueGee has once again updated the blog pool and here's where we stand going into tonight's show:

Ashlie & Todd -- Dr Celine, NanaintheNW, SueGee

Greg & John -- Brent McKee, Jackie, Judi Sweeney

Joel & Garrett -- ChicMc, Ethan, Willie J, Jasonuwp

Liam & Yeremi -- Andi, KathyB, monty924, Skyriverblue

Malaina & Andrea -- Cheryl in NC, CherylNY, Debbie

Robbin & Chelsea -- Indiana Jane, KelseyNY, MikesGirl

Rob & Corey -- marthalight, PDX Granny, Sharon N

Steve & Anna Leigh -- David, Donna in FL, Glenn Allen

Are you ready? Let's GO!

Sitting out Previously On ... of course.

The teams seem to be all over the map choosing teams for the mandatory U-Turn. They vote before heading out.

They have to go to a shoe store #32 and get their next clue. Hawa Mahal is where it is. Most Instagrammed building in India. Look into the windows with a telescoping monocular to look into the windows for the next clue. Steve and Anna Leigh get the clue. They have to travel on foot there.

Once there, they get a clue to choose an electric rickshaw driven by women. They have to help get it out of a jammed parking lot first.

They head to the Detour with the rickshaw, the votes are in. One team will have to do both tasks on the Detour. Anna Leigh and Steve see themselves on the U-Turn.

Detour - Bundles or Bricks. Decorative flowers bundle up variety of flowers, pack up in rickshaw, deliver two places, get receipts. Bricks have to pick up bricks, sand and gravel and get delivery receipt.

Greg and John are in 2nd place at the Detour. But, technically first place as Steve and Anna Leigh are U-Turned. Anna Leigh/Steve finish up the Bundles Detour quickly and are headed to the next one. Meanwhile other teams are still arriving at the monocular clue.

Uh-oh. Steve and Anna Leigh didn't hand in their Bundle receipts and have to go back to do it. 

Greg/John finish the Detour first and get their clue. Then Ashlie/Todd. The brothers Yeremi and Liam are lost.

Greg/John travel by rickshaw, pick a bolt of fabric and a clue. Rob/Corey are in 2nd place. Greg/John - Jaipur Mahal by rickshaw to get next clue.

Roadblock - Who likes to play with blocks? Must print nine peacocks with blocks. Greg/John finish first and must race to the Pit Stop.

Anna Leigh and Steve found out some of the teams who U-Turned them as they are at the Roadblock.

Pit Stop Order:

1. Greg/John - Also won trip for two to New Zealand

2. Rob/Corey

3. Joel/Garrett

4. Morgan/Lena

5. Todd/Ashlie

6. Malaina/Andrea

7. Steve/Anna Leigh

8. Robbin/Chelsea

9. Yeremi/Liam -- Last place, Philiminated

Survivor 45: I'm Not Batman, I'm the Canadian - Ep. 6 Blog Party

 

Good evening! According to the promos, we are expecting the merge tonight!

I will be live blogging the show the best I can. Refresh this page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. Here's where we stand:

Belo – Blue Tribe – Fijian word for Heron

Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC

Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie

Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N

Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924

Lulu – Yellow Tribe – Fijian word for Owl

Bruce --- Krysta, Skyriverblue

Katurah --- Donna NY, April W

Kellie --- Michelle, Bizaro22

Jake --- Donna in FL, TS14Fan
Kaleb --- CherylNY, Cookie Jar

Reba – Red Tribe – Fijian word for Goshawk

Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee
Maya (J) --- Petals, Glenn Allen, Nickelpeed
Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready? 

Sitting out the Previously On segment. Whoops! There goes Brando!

We start with Belo returning to the camp. Emily feels part of a team for once. Kendra was blindsided. She wants revenge on Emily but is putting a happy face on for the tribe.

Lulu Day 12. Bruce has a Beware advantage which he finds in front of the others on his tribe. He loses his vote. They all ran to camp. Bruce wants Katurah to not find the idol and is with everyone else but her. Whoops, there she comes! Jake fakes losing a ring. 

A boat arrives at Belo. Drop your buffs, they will be taken to their new home. Reba gets drop your buffs, new people will be arriving soon. Lulu also have the note. Bruce FINDS what he's looking for! He tells Kellie, Kaleb and Jake about finding it.

The two boats are on their way to the Reba camp. Dee is happy to see Drew and Austin. So many are reuniting. Kaleb is thrilled to be back with Emily and is happy that she is doing better. They are the only two Lulu left. They all get a feast!    

Kendra is acting a bit wacky about things. Is she trying to channel her inner Carolyn from last season. Kendra gets with Bruce, tells all she knows. Emily is regretting the comments she made to Bruce at the start of the game. Bruce acts like he accepts her apologies but tells us he will get her.     

Austin is still thinking sandwiches. He still wants revenge on J and the other one there. His idol will expire after this tribal council unless he loses his vote. Julie thinks J will cut them as soon as she can. Drew thinks it's time to elevate themselves to the new stage of the game.

GAH -- a Lindor CHRISTMAS AD. Too early! Too early! EEK! A Kohls Christmas commercial. Make them STOP!

Day 13 and it's pouring. Sifu loves it. He's probably the only one. Emily and Kaleb are really clicking all over again. Kaleb gets more intel from Belo. Emily tries working more on Bruce. No one is talking to him. Kendra does, though. Bruce thinks Kaleb is floating around with everyone. He tries talking to his old Belo. Then he talks to Kaleb. Kaleb does not appreciate Bruce's advice not to talk to others. Kaleb talks to Kellie who agrees with him. She's over Bruce.

Immunity Challenge time! Jeff takes back the tribal idols. There is no individual immunity yet because they haven't reached that stage. Randomly divided intotwo groups of sixc, threw mud, to cart, push cart, sandbags, top of tower, keys, slide down, work together to top of big boulder, two puzzles. First team to finish earns merge buff, merge meal and immunity from the first tribal council. One too many. That one will bet on a team. 

Blue and Red. Katurah has no color. She bets on Blue. If they win, she will join them. If they lose, she will join them.

RED

BLUE

BLUE wins Immunity and the merge meal. Someone on Red will go home tonight. They will still vote tonight at Tribal but cannot be voted out.

The Blue team is having a ball at the Sanctuary. Drew, Julie, Sifu, Bruce, Austin, Katurah. Sifu wants J out because she wrote down his name. Of course, it was Dee. Kendra thinks Kaleb is dangerous.  

On Red, Jake is nervous. J tells Jake that Kaleb needs to go. She's on high alert about him. Dee tells Jake she wants to vote out J. Kellie is happy with a J choice.

Day 13. Red people are all worried. Katurah talks to them about J. She thinks Kaleb is strong but she wants J out. Bruce thinks they should be voting out social butterfly Kaleb. Uh-oh ... Drew is up for it. Although Austin wants J out, he thinks it might be best to get rid of Kaleb. Emily wants to save her only ally Kaleb. Uh-oh.

Emily warns Kaleb. Kaleb tells Drew Bruce has an idol. He lets Austin know. They are walking off to Tribal.

Tribal Council Night 13. Jeff asks Drew about what happened yesterday. Drew says there is still a lot of instability. Emily thinks she squashed the issue with Bruce. J says yesterday was overwhelming. Kaleb says he's an optimist, may be a big threat but not a big strategic threat. Is there a Lulu curse? Ohh ... Kaleb tells them the most dangerous threat would be J. Oh my. 

Time to vote.

J votes "Caleb." Austin is not voting to extend his idol into a real idol.

The tally: Whoa! Kaleb plays his Shot in the Dark. Jeff opens it. Kaleb is SAFE! J is NOT happy.

Back to the tally: Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb. ALL the votes were for Kaleb. No more shot in the darks can play. They have to revote. J wants Emily out, Bruce tells Emily he wants J out. J is really pushing the Emily. Uh-oh.

Revote time. Emily votes J. J votes Emily.

The tally: J, Emily, J, J, J, J, J ... six is enough.

J is gone, my blog pool random pick Emily remains and they have now all made the merge.

TWO people are going home next week.

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 31

 

Good evening! Happy Halloween!

We have Cirie and Felicia on the block this week. Will they still be on the block by the end of the show? Hmm ... (live feed followers, don't tell!) 

I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. I'll be updating regularly -- please refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Skipping out on the Previously On even though the narrator is doing it in a Halloweeny voice. We're up to Jag wanting to target Cirie. It's time for Halloween on Big Brother.

We pick up the action after Nominations. Matt wants Cirie to still be here next week even though he thinks his path to the end is with Jag and Bowie Jane. Cirie is suspicious of Matt.

Felicia has been on the block seven times now. Jag, of course, would rather her stay over Cirie. Felicia meets up with Matt who tells her she is not his target. Ah, but she is his target. He lies to Felicia and tells her Bowie Jane is his target.

Matt doesn't like lying. He tells Jag the only one he really trusts in him. Oh, they need a name with the Bowie Jane added in -- the Mafia. They create hand signals. Mafia versus the Mamas.

Cirie and Felicia know their games are in danger. Cirie is very upset with Matt and wants to avoid him while she's upset. The other three are hiding up in the HOH room away from him. Felicia mentions how Bowie Jane throughout the game has just followed the power. What happened to the final four with Jag, Matt, Cirie and Felicia?

Uh-oh. A segment on Felicia's feet. EW. She's on Cirie's bed messing with her toenails and callouses. "Did I give you an indication that was appropriate ... on my blanket? You know I hate feet!" Toenail dust on her spread.

Jag and Bowie Jane talk ... one of them this week, the other next. Jag tells us he would have a better chance to win with Bowie Jane rather than Matt. Bowie tells us she doesn't think she would win sitting next to Matt.

Felicia thinks if either Matt or Jag win the veto, one of them might be saved. Cirie doesn't think that's the case. She doesn't know whether she or Felicia is the target but knows one of them must be.

Once again, Jag talks anti-Cirie with Bowie Jane. He thinks he has a better chance with Felicia. Now they must change Matt's mind ... although he has no vote this week.

The veto comp -- Camp Veto. Terrifying abandoned summer camp. Build an antenna to call for help. Go through swamp, stack 25 pieces vertically on the base. When done, make a call.

JAG wins the Power of Veto! (Of course.)

Cirie and Felicia talk about the comp. Felicia didn't want Bowie Jane to win the veto. She thinks that Jag will save her with the veto and Bowie Jane will end up on the block. Cirie knows the veto will not be used. She just hopes that Matt will keep his word and she will be safe this week.

Matt, Jag and Bowie Jane talk. Matt still thinks that Felicia will go this week. Both Bowie Jane and Jag think Cirie gone would be better for their games.

Matt again promises Cirie that she's safe. But Cirie knows it's up to Jag and Bowie Jane will determine her fate in the game.

The Scary globe in the living room is glowing. They get mail -- a luxury comp, one will win $5,000. They each have stations throughout the house, give a treat or take a treat from any player in rounds. Most candy in the bucket wins a treat.

1. Remove 2 pieces of candy. Jag is taking from Cirie/Felicia. He wants Matt to win.

2. Give five pieces. 

3. Remove three pieces.

4. Give 4 treats.

5. Remove 2 pieces.

Felicia and Bowie Jane both have 9 pieces. Cirie has 10, Jag 12?, Matt 17.

Matt wins the five grand.

Jag once again lies to Cirie and says she's good. Her Cirie mist doesn't seem to be working. 

Time for the veto meeting. Surprise, surprise. Jag does NOT us the veto. Cirie and Felicia remain on the block. Jag is determined to get Matt on board with Cirie going this week.

BB25: HOH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 29

 

Good evening! Tonight we will see the HOH comp that was held after last Thursday's double eviction. Due to football, the show will be starting ten minutes late.

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, it's starting. I really don't care for the 10PM slot on Sunday nights at all. And, when it's delayed for sports coverage, I hate it even more. As per my usual, I'm sitting out the Previously On segment. Oh goody, we will get to see all the scrambling before the double. Dang, that's way old news by now!

Back to Blue pre-eviction. She knew she was being evicted. Well, we knew that because of the way she was dressed. Felicia told her. She went to Jag. He makes the excuse that he knew she wouldn't take him to the end. @@

Matt tells us they had to pull the trigger first as they knew she would be coming after them. She talks to Cirie, claiming she figured out that Jared was her son (even though he told her), and how honored she was to play with her.

Now we are up Bowie Jane being HOH. ALL OF THIS IS PAST HISTORY! I can't believe I have to be posting ridiculously late stuff that happened before last week's live show. Matt wins the POV again. The plan is to vote out America. She begs ... again. To no avail ... again.

Matt tells Jag and Cirie that Felicia must go next. Jag tells Matt that Felicia said Cirie and Matt were after him to get him out. Matt claims that Felicia and Cirie must want to drive a wedge between them. Matt and Cirie did discuss it. Cirie is shocked that Felicia talked when Felicia is the first one to mention Matt going up against Jag. 

Jag doesn't believe Felicia and can't trust Cirie. Matt tells us he now thinks Jag will take him to the final two.

HOH comp. The set has storefronts. Another cosmic crystal. Chaos turning heroes of BB Comics against each other. One at a time must roll energy orb at the target icon they say is a target.

Jag targets Felicia and misses. Felicia targets Jag, misses. Matt targets Felicia, misses. Cirie targets Jag, hits his first target (out of three). Jag misses Felicia. Felicia aims at Matt, gets him. Matt aims for Felicia, misses. Cirie gets Jag's second target. Jag once again misses Felicia. Felicia aims for Jag, gets herself. Matt gets himself. Cirie goes for Felicia, misses. Jag gets Felicia's first target. Matt gets Felicia's second target down. Jag goes for Cirie and we go to break.

Jag knocks out Felicia's last icon. Matt misses Cirie. Cirie misses Jag. Jag misses Cirie. Matt gets Cirie's first icon down. Cirie misses Jag. Jag gets Cirie's second icon down. Cirie knocks Jag out of the competition. Matt knocks Cirie's last one out and MATT IS THE NEW HOH!

Felicia knows everybody was gunning for her during the HOH comp. Jag is thrilled his bromance bud won. Cirie asks Matt not to put her up -- after all, he has promised her that he would never put her up on the block. He tells her he wants Felicia out.

Felicia and Cirie talk. Felica tells Cirie that she knows they want to vote her out. She thinks Matt needs to put up Jag and Bowie Jane. (Yeah, like that will happen!) She wants Cirie to go fight her case with Matt.

Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag talk. They decide that Felicia must go and Matt has to figure out how to tell one of his allies that they will go up as a pawn. Felicia talks to Jag and wonders if their final four -- her, Jag, Matt and Cirie -- is still good. She wonders about Bowie Jane. Jag tells her Bowie Jane is not part of the final four. (Yeah, because BJ is part of the final three with Jag and Matt!)

HoH room reveal. Wait ... REILLY is in the photo with his mother! And, his letter is from Reilly. They were Ratt -- Reilly and Matt.

Cirie reminds Matt he promised not to put her up. He tells her that if he puts her up, that will cover them working together. She reminds him Bowie Jane has never been on the block. She puts him threw a guilt trip. She thinks he should take the shot at Jag because he may never have an opportunity. He tells her that Felicia would be the target. She also mentions the Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag final three.

Time for the nominations ceremony. Matt nominates Felicia, then Cirie. He tells them he spoke with them privately and gave them his reasons. He tells us that his target is Cirie. He thinks his best chance to move ahead is to work with Jag and Bowie Jane. Jag thinks keeping Felicia is better for his own game and wants to have Matt agree to a Cirie boot.

BB25: Live Double Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 26

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Blue or America will get the boot! Then we have the whirlwind of an entire week done in a night with a Head of Household comp, a veto comp and then two more will be on the block and one of them will get the boot! (And I'm not talking the Have Not Room door 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?

14 days left in the house.

Julie's outfit for the double eviction

Sitting through the Previously on and all the I must win bits.

Cirie would like to see Blue to stay as she doubts Blue would ever target her. She proposes a split vote to Felicia. Fe does not agree and thinks that Cirie is doing it for jury votes. Felicia wakes up Jag in the HOH room. She thinks Jag must start thinking of her for the final two -- then she throws both Matt and Cirie under the bus, telling Jag they were talking about when to take him out.

Jag is all confused as to whether it's the truth or not. Now, Cirie did tell Felicia in confidence that Matt said at some point Jag would have to go. Matt and Cirie are talking about it but not with Felicia. Cirie doesn't want to wait until the final four like Matt wants.

To the living room. Julie tells them about the double. And Bowie Jane smiled.

America - Shout outs, jokes about Jag being a menace. She will set them free from Jag's evil wrath.

Blue - Shout outs in Korean and English, loves all, I'm Kitty Kitty Purr. 

Blue is all dressed up, America is in comp clothes. Hmm.

The votes to evict:

Matt - Blue

Bowie Jane - Blue

Cirie - Blue

Felicia - Blue

Bye-bye Blue. She was not surprised. Another blindside not a blindside, par for the course this season. Julie mentions she was told just before the show. She feels betrayed by Jag and Matt.

HOH Comp time. In booths in the backyard. Jag cannot play. ScrambleVerse, three franchises dominate. Triple Feature. Seven rounds. Shown three BB movie posters, question about poster. A, B or C answers.

1. All wrong

2. Felicia wrong

3. Cirie ONLY one right

4. Cirie and Bowie Jane get points

5. Matt and Felicia get a point

6. Matt and Bowie Jane get a point

7. Only Cirie doesn't get a point.

Tiebreaker between Matt and Bowie Jane.

In seconds, superhero training academy part one last.

Matt 10,000 BJ 5400

Bowie Jane is HOH!

To the living room. Bowie Jane nominates Felicia and America.

Veto comp time!

Making candy cola.

It's a bit like clown shoe, must get four candies on pole

MATT WINS THE POWER OF VETO!

America begs him to save her. Felicia comes in, they hug. Jag comes in. Bowie comes in Cirie comes in. Looks like he will probably leave the noms the same. But we will see.

To the living room. Matt does NOT use the veto. America and Felicia remain on the block.

America - Now she is nervous, apologizes to Jag for her joke speech.

Felicia - Trusting and believing, mustard seed will carry me further.

The votes to evict:

Cirie - America 

Jag - America

Matt- America 

Unanimous, America goes on to jury. Tears but hugs. The final five go crazy celebrating. She composes herself pretty well for the Julie interview.

Are you ready? Let's GO!

Skipping through the Previously On segment.

Robbin and Chelsea are the first to get the clue to fly to India. They are going to a city nicknamed the Pink City, Jaipur. All teams are on the same flight.

Once in Jaipur, the teams all race to marked taxis to head to the Amber Palace. Pick up a bundle of sugar cane, carry it up to somewhere to get the next clue. Since they were at a bunching point, anyone can get ahead on this one.

At the palace there is a walking band and elephant in costume, as well as painted. (That would never fly here.) Teams arrive and get their bundles of cane. 

Roadblock - Who is feeling balanced? Pots of water balanced on head following a choreographed routine.

That's my blog pool random pick team in last place! Wah! All the teams are having trouble with this one. Anna Leigh made it through! Greg and John moved up to second place!

Teams will have a Detour decision ahead of them at a place with all kinds of small staircases leading to the water. The stairs look like an Escher etching!

ACK CBS NEW SPECIAL REPORT! Mass shooter in Lewiston Maine. Maybe more than 20 killed.

Greg/John are working with Morgan/Lena to get to the Detour clue.

Detour - Puppet All Dolled Up, make two puppets and make them dance. The Big Picture, wear costumes and imitate art in a mural or large painting. Uh-oh. Corey and Rob are the only ones left at the Roadblock!

Most of the teams seem to be choosing to do the Big Picture. Corey FINALLY made it through the Roadblock! At the puppet station there are camels all dressed up like they did to the elephants. Some of the bulls/cows they passed on their way there looked malnourished. You can tell they are no longer in Kansas!

Anna Leigh and Steve get through Puppet Theater first, taking their rickshaw to the next Pit Stop. Greg/John get through the Big Picture and are on their way. Uh-oh, the sisters change tasks after being at Big Picture for two hours.

Pit Stop Order:

1. Anna Leigh/Steve - Won $3,000 each

Phil warns them that there is a Mandatory U-Turn vote ahead.

2. Greg/John

3. Joel/Garrett

4. Andrea/Malaina

5. Todd/Ashlie

6. Corey/Rob

7. Robbin/Chelsea

8. Liam/Yeremi

9. Lena/Morgan

10. Joe/Ian -- Philiminated 

Out of the blog pool -- Cookie Jar, Michelle, Pearl

Survivor 45: I Don't Want to Be the Worm - Ep. 5 - Blog Party

 

Good evening! Let's see if the new Lulu tribe is just as cursed as the old one was. They seem to be heading a better direction winning Immunity and getting flint after nine days without it.

A separate post for The Amazing Race will magically appear at about 9:25PM ET. So, please shift over to that post for that show. Merci!

I will be live blogging the show the best I can. I may have issues with some of the names as there are some we've rarely seen. Refresh this page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool with the tribe switches. Here's where we stand:

Belo – Blue Tribe – Fijian word for Heron

Brando --- Jasonuwp, Marthalight, MikesGirl

Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC

Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie

Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N

Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924

Lulu – Yellow Tribe – Fijian word for Owl

Bruce --- Krysta, Skyriverblue

Katurah --- Donna NY, April W

Kellie --- Michelle, Bizaro22

Jake --- Donna in FL, TS14Fan
Kaleb --- CherylNY, Cookie Jar

Reba – Red Tribe – Fijian word for Goshawk

Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee
Maya (J) --- Petals, Glenn Allen, Nickelpeed
Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready?

Keeping in with my way of doing things, I'm sitting through the Previously On segment.

We pick up with Reba returning from Tribal. Sifu comments about his name coming up in the vote. Dee agreed she was surprised to see hers name. Dee, of course, was the vote for Sifu. She thought others would vote for him, too. Sean told Sifu he didn't vote for him on his way out. Julie is shocked. Now Sifu knows that someone is lying about writing Sean. He's suspicious but can't figure who wrote his name.

Belo Day 10. They have no food, no energy. Emily spots a worm. Kendra picks it up. The others encourage her to eat the worm. She does. Kind of, sort of. It doesn't stay down. The others talk about Kendra's energy.

Lulu Day 10. Jake and Bruce start to head out. Uh-oh. Jake collapses. It's the second time he's done that. Jake weighed 287 before going into Survivor. It took him two years to lose the weight. Kellie says his blood pressure lowered before he collapsed. He vows to fight until the end of the game.

Lulu Day 10 - Kaleb and Jake go off looking for crabs. Katurah realizes she's all alone and goes off looking for an idol. She bumps into the rest. The knew she was idol searching. They think Katurah is all over the place. Kaleb tells Katurah he saw her looking for an idol and tried to stop her before the others saw her. He, like he did with Emily before, creates bonds with others. He wants that bond with Kellie. He told her that Sabiyah found the idol in that camp and they bond.

Reba Day 10 - The women are upset that Sean quit and that he told Sifu he didn't vote for him on the way out. We get Dee's backstory and she doesn't come from a family that quits. Sifu is stunned by his wake-up call vote. He has made a fake idol. He tells Dee that he has an idol. J thinks Sifu thinks she put his name down. She didn't.

Belo Day 10 - Brando and Drew talk Kendra. Brando didn't have a strong connection in tribe before. Brando/Drew really bond, nerding out so to say. Nerd alliance? Drew is not for that at the merge. Brando wants to solidify the bond with Kendra. Brando thinks Emily is in the best spot as she is between the two members of the other two tribes she is in with now. She has promised both sides she's in with them. Uh-oh.

Lulu Day 10 - Bruce's Brucisms are coming out. He does seem to be always on. Katurah is on alert about him. Katurah thinks Kaleb may be seeing the issues with Bruce. He is definitely coming off as bossy. Kaleb is doing his best to please him.

Reba Day 10 - J tells Julie she will say she voted out Sifu and he doesn't need to use his idol. They don't know it's fake. She is going to pretend that she's on the outs and was desperate. Dee is thinking it might be best to vote out J if they go to Tribal again. Julie is in a quandary about it.

Day 11 Immunity Challenge. Race massive three level obstacle course, collecting keys, once they get the keys sandbags, knock down targets. Also playing for massive 10 fresh fish and cooking stuff, second half that prize.

REBA wins 1st Place Immunity! Lulu wins 2nd Place!

Belo will go to Tribal Council for the first time this season.

A twist - one person from each tribe to go on a journey. They will be back in time for Tribal. Reba, J goes. From Lulu, Kellie. Belo, Austin. The other tribes pick.

Once again, Emily is going to Tribal Council. Is that every single one this season? Hmm.

Belo is in pre-Tribal woe phase. Or will they scramble? Kendra is worried. She wants Emily on their side. She brings up Drew as he is so tall and thin. Brand offers to give Drew his shot in the dark to not write his name down. Let it be Kendra? Drew thinks he's being played. Emily and Drew talk. What? Vote out Kendra? Emily thought Brando and Kendra were together. Emily thinks Drew is lying to her. Kendra trusts that Brando and Emily will vote out Drew with her tonight.

Meanwhile, the journey. Kellie feels odd man out with two original Reba members. They have to hike to the top of a mountain. Ohh ... they find sandwiches at the top. They can choose sustenance or strategy. Food or an amulet which need to be played with all the amulets in the game. Austin wants the sandwich. J wants the amulet. If only one amulet remains in the game, it's like an idol. If two or three, steal a vote and extra vote.

Day 11. Still at the mountain. Austin is SO hungry! He relents and they will work together with the amulets. He wants to turn his amulet into an idol.

Belo Day 11 - Emily talks to Drew about the voting out of Kendra. She asks him if he's the one who started that. She tells him that she doesn't know who to trust. Austin lies to them, telling them they had sandwich or carry coconuts and they failed the task. He shows Drew the real truth on paper. Both Drew and Austin have advantages but they need to get Emily's trust. Austin shows Emily what he has. Drew or Brando? Which will get her vote to go?

Night 11 - Tribal Council. It's Belo's first time there. 

They get Jeff's Probsting questions about being there. Drew seems a bit into embellishments. Is Emily in the middle? Yep.

Time to vote. Austin sacrifices his vote to extend the life of his idol, but then restores the vote with his other advantage.

The tally: Drew, Brando, Drew, Brando, Brando ... Kendra is shocked. Emily apologizes to her. Drew and Austin briefly touch hands with Emily.

Next week is the merge?!?!

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 24

 

Good evening! 

We have Blue and America on the block. Due to the numbers, only one person will be sitting out this veto comp.

I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. I'll be updating regularly -- please refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

As per my way of doing stuff, I am sitting out the Previously On segment.

We pick up the action after the nominations. Jag tells us neither nominee is in his end game plan. He plans to target Blue because America promised him safety. Blue thinks she's the pawn. Cirie would prefer Blue to stay due to the Jared connection.

America has been crying. And cries even more in the Diary Room. She tells us she can't trust Jag and, no matter her promises, the first chance she gets she will be going for Matt and Jag.

Jag tells Bowie Jane that Blue is going home. She thinks she is in a solid three with Matt/Jag. They say one of them must win the veto instead of Blue. 

Matt talks to Cirie. He really adores her. She reminds him of his own mother. She likes him, too. Jag talks to Felicia. He tells her America is the target. He tells us that he can't trust Felicia to not mention it. Felicia tells us that Jag should target Bowie Jane.

Cirie talks with Jag. He tells her that Blue is the target and mentioned that he told Felicia otherwise. He trusts that Cirie won't tell Blue. Cirie points out to us that if Jag is willing to go for one of his best allies in the game, what would stop him from going after her? She thinks he cannot be trusted.

Okaaay ... Felicia has a piece of fried chicken in her pocket. Bowie Jane tells us you never know what will come out of Felicia's pockets or mouth.

Time to pick veto players! Jag draws Matt. America draws Felicia. Blue draws Bowie Jane. Once again Cirie is not drawn. That's all season. They look and find her name in the bag.

Cirie talks to Blue. She tells us she wants to tell her that she's Jag's target but doesn't dare. Cirie tells us that her life in the game will be trying to figure out how to get rid of Jag. She ends up telling Blue to really gun for the veto.

They have a BBQ grill. Matt and Jag don robes. We get a fun little grill segment.

Felicia talks to Cirie, telling her that she is sure that Jag wants America out this week. Cirie can't tell her that Jag told her it's Blue. She tells her they need to wait until after the veto is played. Felicia is ticked off that she thinks Cirie told Blue to go for the veto against Jag's wishes.

Felicia runs to talk to Jag and tell him that Cirie told Blue to fight for the veto. She tells him Cirie warned Blue is the real target. He thinks he is protecting Cirie and taking her so far in the game. Now he might have to have her go sooner rather than later.

Veto comp time. Vacationing on a Humili-Cruise. Photos to prove it, but out of order. Embarrassing Expedition. Must put the ten photos in chronological order.

Bowie Jane goes first. Then Matt is up. Felicia - the music turns to a waltz. America's turn. Jag. Blue's turn.

Top three times -- 3rd 10.36 Bowie Jane. 2nd 8.00 Blue. 1st 6.22 Jag. Jag wins veto AGAIN.

Matt and Jag talk. Jag tells Matt about Felicia's talk. He thinks Cirie sold them out. Matt wants Cirie in the final three with them. Jag tells us he has all the power this week and will decide who sits on the block. Sounds like they are leading us into another cliffhanger!

Nope ... time for the veto meeting. Jag does NOT use the veto. Blue and America remain on the block.

BB25: HOH Show, Nominations Blog Party - Oct. 21

 

Good evening! Tonight we will see the HOH comp. Since Jag was the "invisible" HOH last week -- even though he told everybody -- he can compete this week. We do have something with BB17 Johnny Mac tonight. I'm thinking we should also be seeing the nominations as well. However, they are messing around with stuff this season. I could be wrong.

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!

Sitting through the Previously On segment. Will they survive Johnny Mac, the Demented Dentist? Okay, so Cory is gone and we have America in tears, Blue happy.  Cirie thinks Cory is responsible for both Jared and Izzy gone from the house.

Jag tries to get along with America. Cirie tries advising Felicia to be careful what she says. Felicia tells us of a final four deal with Matt, Jag and Cirie. Matt talks to Bowie Jane. She tells us that she needs to win the HOH and Cory said some things that have her on edge. He tells us he's lying to her. He tells her that he thinks Matt/Jag will take Cirie/Felicia to the final four instead of her.

She confronts Jag saying that she does not want to go on the block next week. She brings up the Felicia and Cirie issues. Bowie Jane cries. 

Uh-oh! Demented Dentist time! They each have a little room with dental records -- all listed as winners from BB. Scary-Verse! Johnny has grown long hair! He can't remember which skull belongs to which patient. They have to find and identify five skulls from the teeth x-rays.

Johnny Mac, Demented Dentist

Jag wins the HOH again. Due to the twist, of course. He's still there due to a twist, of course.

Cirie has never fully trusted Jag and doubts he totally trusts her. She's hoping she doesn't go on the block. Blue thinks that America will be the target. Cirie, Matt and Felicia talk ... who will Jag put up with America? Felicia suggests Bowie Jane. Bowie Jane has never been on the block.

America cries in the bathroom. She thinks she needs to cut some sort of a deal with Jag.

HOH room reveal. Okay, lots of fake excitement going on. A nice letter from home. His sister's wedding has them using a cardboard Jag. Everyone leaves the room and Matt/Jag talk. Who sits next to America? He wants no more blood on his hands. He thinks if he puts up Bowie Jane, he loses her. She's too emotional. Felicia or Blue?

Felicia talks to Jag. She knows he doesn't want to put up Bowie Jane, but he should. He tells her she reacted badly before when it was proposed. He thinks the choice is super tough. Felicia tells him they are going to the end. He then talks to Blue, telling her that he is thinking of putting her up as a pawn.

Jag talks to America next. She tells him she's not the only one who would target him, no point in going after her this week. She promises if she wins HOH, no nomination or renom. If she wins veto, she will save him. He tells her that if she's on the block, she might not be the target.

Time for Nominations. Jag nominates America, then Blue. America - you went out of your way to cook me if you were HOH. Blue, if she wants trouble, let's make it double.

Jag tells us his target will be Blue this week.
