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!

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
America - Andi, Joanne Victoria, Willie J, Caela
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
Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

JURY
Cameron
Cory

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.

The Amazing Race 35: Yessir, the Pink City - Ep. 5 - Blog Party

 


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 graciously 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
Joe & Ian -- Cookie Jar, Michelle, Pearl
Joel & Garrett -- ChicMc, Ethan, Willie J, Jasonuwp
Liam & Yeremi -- Andi, KathyB, monty924, Skyriverblue
Malaina & Andrea -- Cheryl in NC, CherylNY, Debbie
Morgan & Lena -- Bizaro22, Debbie in FL, Krysta
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!

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.

BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 19

 

We were dangling on a cliffhanger in the veto show. Who will be the renoms? After all, Blue will save herself and Jag told Felicia he would take her off the block. Oh, the suspense! (Shh ... live feed watchers. I know we already know but it's a secret until it airs!)

Tonight's show is delayed due to the President's address. While I expect it to start at 9:20PM ET, that may not be the case.

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:

Cory - Sharon N, Nickelpeed, Indiana Jane, deaflady
Felicia - Dr Celine, Auntie Leigh, NoraM, T-Town Chick
America - Andi, Joanne Victoria, Willie J, Caela
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
Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

JURY - Cameron

Hamster watchers ready?

Previously on ... and on.

Julie's outfit tonight

 Finally ... Day 79. The houseguests are in the living room with Felicia and Blue in the nominee seats. Time for the veto meeting. Jag is the invisible HOH. Whoops. Cirie has to glide around the house and wave to her adoring fans. Blue runs the veto meeting.  She goes first and saves herself. She sits. The HOH narrator voice puts America in as Blue's replacement.

Jag saves Felicia with his veto. The mysterious voice puts Cory on the block with America. Keep in mind that we know Cory/America know that Jag is the invisible HOH because he told them. America cries. Cory understands.

America vows to go off on Jag and cries some more. Cory already sort of begins to campaign. He had only told America he would target Matt/Jag. America lies saying that they were not targeting them. Blue had told her.

Cirie is happy with the war between the duos started. She's ready to sit back with her popcorn and watch.

America is in bed with Cory, saying she knows she shouldn't just isolate herself. She knows it's her mouth that got them in trouble. Cory tries to give her advice. He doesn't want her to ruin her game. He doesn't want to go Scorched Earth on them; she does.

America turns to Blue for answers. She's hurt and betrayed. She tells Blue that Matt/Jag won't take her to the three. Blue tells her she was fighting for her life, brings up Jared.

Cirie must find a hiding place in the house and scare another houseguest. She scares Blue. Then has to stay in the pool for two hours. 100 laps in the backyard. Rescue a houseguest from their bad dream.

Cory talks to Blue. He talks about Jag putting Blue up as a target. If he stays and wins HOH, he will target Matt/Jag. In turn, Matt/Jag will target him the next week. Cory goes around pitching to all. The editing makes it look like Cory has a chance to stay. Cirie talks to Blue, then Felicia, about keeping him to fight Matt/Jag.

To the living room: BB Comic Week is over as is Cirie's punishment.

Cory: Misses Stevie, most incredible experience, thank you, must blow up one person's game (jokingly does)
America: Shout outs, OK, will go after the dumb blond and. Thanks Cory.

The votes to evict:
Matt - Cory
Bowie Jane - Cory
Jag - Cannot vote
Cirie - Cory
Felicia - Cory
Blue - Cory

Unanimous and expected. Cory goes to spend the week alone with Cameron. He expected it and hugs all. He thinks that nominating him was a smart move. He gets decent goodbye messages except from Blue.

Julie tells us it's Scaryverse's Johnny Mack Terror Dentist. Thursday is a second double eviction.

The Amazing Race 35: The Day Keeps Rockin' Here in Vietnam - Ep. 4 - Blog Party

 

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

You can check out photos and names of the teams on this post I made a while back.

Since the teams are on a continuation of the Vietnam leg, SueGee had a week off from updating this blog pool!

Ashlie & Todd -- Dr Celine, NanaintheNW, SueGee
Greg & John -- Brent McKee, Jackie, Judi Sweeney
Jocelyn & Victor -- Cherry Pie, chrob61, Nora M
Joe & Ian -- Cookie Jar, Michelle, Pearl

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!

After the Previously On, they travel by cab where a barista serves coffee and the next clue.

That clue is a Detour. Stand or Deliver. Inland fishery properly display seafood, their stall must match the vendors. Deliver has them delivering four mattresses (66 pounds each) and deliver to a motel.

Stand detour

Steve and Anna Leigh are rushing through the Stand, other teams are having problems with the weight of the mattresses as well as directions. Teams are working together now at mattresses and over at Stand, Anna Leigh is freaking out about live eels.

Anna Leigh and Steve make it through the Detour first. The clue directs them to a pagoda to make a wish. Joel/Garrett finish the mattresses.

Anna Leigh/Steve at the pagoda for the wish card. They wish they are number one for the day. The clue they get tells them to travel by taxi for the next clue. Aw, Garrett/Joel find notes from home as they are at the wish card.

Rob/Corey and Ashlie/Todd finish the Delivery.

Roadblock - Who wants to play matchmaker? They are at a temple. Thousands of red tiles on the stairs, only 11 of one kind. Must find one of them going around with a picture.

Morgan/Elena and Chelsea/Robbin finish the fish.

Phil and the mat are waiting in the temple with the Roadblock. More teams are arriving for the Roadblock. It turns out their clue photos differ. Anna Leigh has an issue with Chelsea as she won't work with her. 

Pit Stop Order:
1. Chelsea/Robbin - win trip for two to Madrid, Spain.
2. Steve/Anna Leigh
3. Todd/Ashlie
4. Joe/Ian
5. Rob/Corey
6. Liam/Yeremi
7. Malaina/Andrea
8. Greg/John
9. Joel/Garrett
10. Morgan/Lena
11. Jocelyn/Victor - Philiminated. Aw, I liked them. 

Survivor 45: Music to My Ears - Ep. 4 - Blog Party

 


Good evening! According to the promos tribes will be shifting some tonight, but not an actual merge. They had to do something with Lulu down so low so early.

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. Keep in mind that these castaways are still kind of new to me, and I may have issues with the names! 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. You can refer to my cheat sheet casting post that has photos to check on your pick!

Belo – Blue Tribe – Fijian word for Heron

Brando --- Jasonuwp, Marthalight, MikesGirl
Bruce --- Krysta, Skyriverblue
Jake --- Donna in FL, TS14Fan
Katurah --- Donna NY, April W
Kellie --- Michelle, Bizaro22
Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC

Lulu – Yellow Tribe – Fijian word for Owl

Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie
Kaleb --- CherylNY, Cookie Jar
Sean --- Auntie Leigh, David

Reba – Red Tribe – Fijian word for Goshawk

Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N
Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee
Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924
Maya --- Petals, Glenn Allen, Nickelpeed
Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready?

Sitting out the previously on segment. Sabiyah got the boot again.

Lulu - Night 7. The lonely three return from Tribal. Kaleb is appreciative. However, Sean was blindsided. He feels at the bottom. He certainly is with his other two tribe members.

They're going to meet up with Jeff already. Jeff says it's the most shock he's seen when they saw that Sabiyah had been voted out. They knew she was a real strong player.

"Drop your buffs. We are switching tribes."

Day 8. Say goodbye to your old buffs. Jeff passes around to all with a tray of wrapped buffs. I probably won't be able to get all the new tribes in live. But I'll do what I can. Nope, not happening. I will add to this post later tonight. Each of the Lulu ended up on separate tribes.

The new tribes

Day 8 Lulu - Bruce is not a happy dude. He has a breakdown of a sort as he's in the same place he was when he was medivac exited. Kaleb is on the tribe, Jake, too. Katurah is digging for information about the trip three took. It turns out that Jake had wanted to work with Kaleb before. It's not a full-fledged trust yet, but ...!

Day 8 Belo - Brando, Austin, Drew, Emily and one more. Emily is taking a quieter approach. Emily shares the melting idol Sabiyah bit with them. Drew thinks she's kind of normal. 

Day 8 Reba - Sean is thrilled to be with them and he has stories to tell. He is in with four original Reba members. Sifu, Julie, J Maya, Dee. J Maya goes off with Sean. The others decide to search his bag for an idol. They find nothing. J Maya tells Sean that they think Sifu might have an idol and is a blindside choice. Julie thinks Sean should be out first, but J Maya tries to convince them to keep Sean.

Belo Day 9 - Emily is worried about her spot in the tribe. Austin and Drew talk. They have an idol, good will advantage and a vote advantage. Austin doesn't want Emily voted off first. He wants her on their side. She is the swing vote, so popular. Drew hopes to work with Julie, Dee, Austin and Emily after the merge.

Lulu - Kellie feels okay with her new tribe. Bruce tells her she is his number one. They want to pull Kaleb in with them. Katurah is suspicious. She gets Kaleb only mainly so she can tell him how dangerous Bruce is. She is really annoyed by Bruce. Kaleb is eating up the intel. Now he must decide which trail to take.

Day 9 Immunity Challenge time! Swim to cage, climb, leap in, haul heavy cage back, dig one person out of cage, first tribe with three balls in their three baskets wins. Lulu in the lead.

LULU wins Immunity (and gets flint for the first time). BELO wins 2nd place! Reba will go to Tribal Council.

Lulu is hugging and celebrating. Kaleb is thrilled. Bruce tries to trick them that he lost the flint, but he didn't. He's glad he's not Sean.

On Reba, Sean is crushed that they lost. He's deflated. He talks to Sifu. He tells him he is loyal. Sifu tells us he thinks they have to be Reba Strong. He thinks if Sean stays, the target will shift to him. Meanwhile, the women talk. J Maya is still pushing for a Sifu exit. Dee agrees. Julie is hesitant to lose someone so strong right now. She hates the idea.

The women talk to Sean about blindsiding Sifu. They will tell Sifu that they are voting out Sean. Sifu is worried that he might be being played. They head off to Tribal. Sean has been to every Tribal Council so far this season.

Tribal Council Night 9. Jeff brings up the four of them on the tribe. (The women warned Sean they would talk Reba Strong.) Jeff points out that Sean would be an easy vote. Julie thinks Sean tried but they have family. Sean tries to plead his case. Sifu says he feels Sean has positive energy. Sean tells Jeff he has experiences a ton of failure, but failure helps one grow. He tells the tale of growing up Mormon (he's gay) and Survivor has helped him regain his lost time. Uh-oh. He says his dream is at home and asks them to write his name down. He wants to be with his husband.

Time to vote.

The tally: Sifu, Sean, Dee, Sean, Sean.

He gets his wish.

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 17


Good evening! Make sure you have your beverages and snacks nearby. Tonight's show is supposed to run 15 minutes longer than usual. My apologies for not posting live feeds today. Blogger had some kind of update and caused me issues. I'm lucky to get here now!

We have Blue and Felicia on the block. The twist has two veto comps with two separate veto holders. Will someone or some two win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees or even both? Live feed followers already know, but shhh ... not here until it airs.

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!

Sitting through the Previously On segment.

The action picks up after nominations. Jag tells us that he didn't want to go after Cory/America because he and Matt would be the only "couple" left in the house. Felicia and Blue are both angry. Felicia is on the block for the 5th time and says this is a wasted HOH.

Jag wants Blue to think the invisible HOH is Cory. Blue thinks Jag is the only one who could have done the comp so fast. Cory and America were told by Jag that he's the HOH. Matt also knows. No one else does. Felicia approaches both Cory and Jag and asks if she or Blue is the real target.

Felicia's gut tells her Jag is the HOH. Cory says if he wins next week, he will put Matt and Jag on the block. They think they are safe for this week and trust Matt/Jag. 

America doesn't want Blue to go this week. She tells Blue she's the target. Blue does not think Matt/Jag would ever go after her and does not believe America.

The Comic globe is lighting and making a whomp-whomp sound. Another transmission. The BB Power of Multiplicity, multiplying the number of veto players - 8 playing. Two veto comps being played. Two different houseguests will win a POV.

Matt talks to Blue. She wants him to save her, so rats out Cory and America for trying to recruit her. She tells all. Matt tells us he doesn't want to work with C/A if they are not going to protect them. Blue tells him she's loyal to him and Jag. Then she goes to Jag and tells him.

Now Jag is reconsidering. He wants to win the veto. Blue wants to win the veto. Felicia wants to win the veto. There are two vetoes to be won, not three.

The comp is BB Superhero Academy. An endurance competition with them standing on a small disk suspended by a rope and spun around while being battered. There is a cash bonus for winning, too.


Felicia down first. Bowie Jane down. Cirie down, threw it because she doesn't want to decide between saving Felicia or Blue. Cory down. Matt down. America throws it because she is sure she's safe. It's down to Jag and Blue. To commercial after a Jag DR session saying he wants to win because he doesn't want to expose himself as the HOH -- despite Matt, America and Cory already knowing because he told them.

43 minutes have gone by and they are still up. One hour now. One hour and 17 minutes. One hour 32 minutes. One hour 44 minutes. Two hours. Blue down at 2 hours 6 minutes. JAG wins veto!

Jag must test his power of flight and hold onto a bar flying around the academy. The others must guess the flight time with the winner closest to the actual time. The two furthest from the time will receive punishments. Every 15 seconds he wins $500 dollars. He wins $3,500.

BLUE wins veto!

Felicia and Cirie get the punishments. Felicia can choose the first crystal. She gets 24 hours solitary. Cirie gets Superhero Quick Change. Every time the academy asks she must change into her superhero outfit in the phone booth.

Jag tells us he will have to change the nominations. Cory and America should be scared.

Matt and Jag talked. Jag tells Matt they need to get out either Cory or America. He doesn't know if he wants one up or both. Plus, he has to talk to Blue because he's lied to her about being the individual HOH.

Felicia gets sent to her isolation. She has a tarped over toilet, water bottles, PB&J sandwich makings. She isn't happy not being able to talk to people or campaign for safety.

Cirie gets her punishment. She has her costume. Her first test is rolling from one side of the yard to the other and rolling back. She has a week of this. Super balance tested standing on one leg in the living room for 30 minutes, standing under the outdoor shower, x-ray vision guessing what's under the cover on the tray. They put all kinds of things under it, including condoms. She kept guessing fiber gummies.

Jag talks to Cory/America. Cory suggests Cirie going up. Then Jag tells Matt he wants to put up both Cory and America up. He won't be telling them because he will be breaking their trust the minute he does it anyway.

Felicia cleaned the whole comic room in isolation is done and she is released after her 24 hours. Jag talks to her. He tells her that he's the HOH. He tells Cirie, too. He tells Bowie Jane. He tells Felicia he will save her and put up Cory and America. He tells everyone except Cory/America. Oh ... and Blue.

He talks to Blue, telling her that Cory/America poisoned him against her. She accepts it well and hugs him in joy about them going on the block.

And ... we end on a cliffhanger ...

BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 15

 

Good evening! Tonight we will see the HOH comp and its new HOH winner with the power of Invisibility. 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!

Just a quick programming note -- Tuesday's POV show, scheduled at 8PM ET/PT, is expected to be an hour and 15 minutes long.

Tonight's show in some markets isn't starting until 10:12PM ET due to football. Grr.

Hamster watchers ready?

Skipping to my lou through the "Previously On" segment. 

Julie mentions the ComicVerse and we see the thing crashed into the HOH room. BB Comics, always a veto comp, will have its first run at an HOH comp. Cirie tells us with Cam gone they can say goodbye to the Kumbaya.

They get a message; a space crystal has crashed into the house. It will change the course of events in the house this week. The first power is the Invisible HOH. No one will know unless the winner divulges. Since no one knows, the HOH will be able to play in the next HOH comp.

Leave it to America to mention no HOH wine. Jag, Cory and America agree to tell each other if they win. But Jag tells us he thinks otherwise -- it may be the week to go after Cory and America. Cirie and Felicia think they are both probably safe. They think bigger targets will be targeted.

Cirie really wants to win this one. Um, okay. She doesn't know how physical the comp ahead will be.

To the comp! Felicia is up first. It is the traditional zipline comp. The times will be announced but only the winner will know he or she won. Matt up next. His time not said. Blue up next. No time said. Cory up next. Then to commercial. So far only Felicia's time was announced. I listed it below.

Cirie's turn. She is having a rough time of it. Jag's turn. America is up next. Commercial time again.

Felicia -18:40

Everyone was told their times during the comp but we weren't. The winning time was 8:30. Immediately after, no one is admitting it. Blue tells America she got 15:24. America doesn't believe her. Cirie thinks it's Jag or Matt. Felicia thinks either them or Cory.

Bowie is also suspicious of Blue. Matt enters the room with Blue and Bowie Jane. He tells them he thinks it might be him and Jag going up on the block.

Jag and Cory are suspicious of Blue, too. Matt, too. Heck, no one is even telling us on the show! Ah, finally Jag tells us and Matt! Jag is the HOH. He tells Jag that if he puts up Blue and someone else, then tell America/Cory they will be loyal to him. He can play in the HOH comp next week because he's "invisible." He thinks if he breaks them up, then the only targets will be himself and Matt.

He tells America/Cory about it. They are a bit leery because he kept it secret overnight. He tells us his only choices are Felicia, Blue and Cirie. Hey ... what about Bowie Jane, I say?

Time for the nomination ceremony. They sit in the kitchen with a voice over the PA system. Nominated are Felicia and Blue. Felicia is tired of being on the block, even if a pawn. She thinks the invisible HOH had such a chance to make a big move. Blue thinks the HOH is either Cory or America.

BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 12

 

Good evening! Tonight, we will get the conclusion of the big cliffhanger we were left with on Wednesday night. Will Jag save either Cirie or Felicia with the veto? And, if he does ... who will Bowie Jane put on the block to replace the person coming down? Oh, the suspense! (Shh ... live feed watchers. I know we already know but it's a secret until it airs!)

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? 

Julie is casual again tonight.

Sitting through the Previously On ...

Day 72. Julie tells us that Jag and Matt have been working all week to get Cameron on the block. Tonight's evicted is the first member of the jury.

To the action. Cameron has bad feelings about this one, he tells us. He tries talking to Jag. He thinks himself and Blue going after Cory/America would be best. He doesn't think he's convincing Jag.

To the veto meeting. Jag uses the veto to save Felicia. Bowie Jane nominates Cameron. He tells Bowie Jane that this move shows her character and he hopes she can live with that. Whoa, Cameron is really bitter about it. Hey, he was already evicted before and wouldn't even be in the house without a twist. He knew it would happen.

Cameron decides to turn everyone against Matt and Jag. He starts with talking to Blue. He tells her she will be next to jury next week. She is not buying what he's selling. Then he talks to Cory, telling him he needs to get Blue and Felicia aboard. Cory doesn't trust Matt and Jag but is not willing to throw his own game away for Cameron.

A segment about Matt and the whispers in the house. He can't read lips in groups. This actually happened on the live feeds maybe two weeks ago. He was in tears and Jag consoled him.

A filler segment about Cam's manfan crush on Kevin Costner. He tells Cory and Felicia about it. 

Cory talks to Jag and they both think Blue would be the next one to target. Cory wants Blue out as she has been after him for weeks now. Cory knows that Matt and Jag want Blue to do their dirty work.

Cirie is sitting pretty now. Cam decides to help Cirie and set up Matt and Jag for defeat. He volunteers to set her up with Cory, America and Blue. Cirie actually sees what he's saying. Cirie talks to Blue about her talk with Cam about Matt/Jag bulldozing their way through the game. She tries to get Blue to cut down on targeting Cory so much.

Are they EVER going to get to the eviction?

Jag tells us his final five would be himself, Matt, Cirie, Felicia and Bowie Jane. He talks to Cirie. Cirie is in the hammock with Cory now. She thinks she and Felicia will be perpetual pawns. Now she wants Cory to confide in her about going after Matt/Jag ... while Cirie sneaks her way to the end.

Finally, to the living room.
Cirie - Julie looks exquisite, shout outs to family, HG extraordinary days in the house.
Cameron - Also exquisite praise, family shout outs, if you keep me I will be loyal to all of you, won't vote anyone out, will throw all comps. Cory, thank you.

Exquisite is the word for tonight. They are all saying it to Julie tonight.

The votes to evict:
Matt - Cameron
Blue - Cameron
Felicia - Cameron
Jag - Cameron
America - Cameron
Cory - Cameron 

He knew it was coming. He hugs all. He tells Julie he screwed up. He feels most betrayed by himself. He says Cirie told him that he doesn't always have to tell people what someone else told you. 

Julie tells us that (after commercial) BB Comic Week crashes the house and takes everyone by surprise.

Unleashing super powers into the game. BB Power of Invisibility shields the HOH, then MultiPlicity confuses the Power of Veto. Something crashed in the HOH room and Julie tells them to all go up there. 

This is what crashed into the HOH room.
