Survivor 45: Following a Dead Horse to Water - Ep. 8 Blog Party

 

Good evening! Tonight we will see the return of the Survivor auction. I can't even tell you when we last saw that. But, unlike ZingBot on BB, I always enjoyed the Survivor auction.

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, constantly updating it. Refresh this page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N

Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924

Bruce --- Krysta, Skyriverblue

JURY

Kaleb

Survivor fans ready?

Sitting out the Previously On segment.

They're returning from Tribal. Was Sifu the right choice? What about Bruce? The second group returns and tells them they voted out Kaleb. Jake has some amends to make as he actually wanted to go to rocks to save Kaleb. Julie is a bit irked that Jake voted for her. The Kaleb vote was understandable. Now she feels she can't trust Jake. Lines have been drawn.

Day 15 - The girls realize they are in the majority -- 6 to 4. Is it time for them to make a move? The six all want Bruce out. Kellie is very pleased with the thought of the women banding together to get him out.

A boat is arriving. The boat has a table with attached serving plates. The crew puts the names of each castaway at a plate. Who's ready for a blast from the past? The Survivor auction where they can bid on food items. They have to find the cash in bamboo tubes in the forest. Once they find a tube, they have to go put it on their plate, then go find more.

Everybody is running around gathering them except Bruce. The rest all have multiples; he has nothing. He's barely trying. Ohhh ... he found one! Now they are opening the tubes. All have different amounts. Dee has $900.

Time for the auction! 30th season, 2015, was the last time it was done. No advantages this time around. 15 items for the auction -- only the first five guaranteed. Auction will end without warning. The person with the most money left loses their vote. Bruce only has $80. Jeff draws the stone for the number of total items. Bidding is $20 increments. Beer and pretzels to Kendra for $360.

French fries, ketchup and a soda. $500 to Kellie. A covered item -- Emily $440 and it's a charcuterie platter and a glass of white wine. Chocolate milkshake Dee for $900. Covered item Katurah $480 -- Jeff offers to trade for another covered dish. She sticks with the first one -- two giant fish eyes. That was all her money. Austin buys them for $100.

The covered item from before goes to Drew for $520 -- candy bowl. A slice of pizza goes to Austin for the rest of his money. Toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash sold to Julie for her complete $420. Covered dish bought by one, shared by three. Jake buys for his whole $340. No utensils. He invites Julie. Reluctantly chooses Bruce. 

Three people still have money -- Kellie with the most $200. One item -- covered dish. All her money, PB&J, potato chips and a margarita. Bruce has $80 and Emily has $60. Oops! Bruce loses his vote. The auction is over.

Back at camp, the women are having fun talking about the auction. Oh, and we get a backstory about Kendra reuniting with her biological father.

Emily is more partial to Drew and Austin than the women. She warns Drew about the six women. Drew thinks it will be great to flush the idol, plus targeting Bruce for his own needs. Austin and Drew talk to Katurah and Julie. Bruce is the target with Jake as a backup.

Immunity Challenge time. Hold onto a rope containing a log with one third their pregame body weight, move down knots on the rope. Jeff also has a bag of rice. Four people need to sit out of the challenge to get the rice which would last. Dee, Emily, Drew, Katurah all under pressure as Jeff cut a hole in the bag and let rice out of it.

Kellie is the first out. Then Kendra out. They move down to the final section with no knot. Julie, Austin, Jake and Bruce still in it. Austin out. Jake out. It's between Bruce and Julie -- the two oldest in the game. Julie drops. BRUCE WINS IMMUNITY!

Bruce knows so many want him out and he had no vote, they thought it a done deed. He has an idol in his pocket, too. Kellie is really irked. Emily says it put a wrench in the plans. Will they vote out Jake? Can they get Bruce to use his idol to save Jake? Kellie is with Jake and even Bruce. Emily and Kellie tell Jake not to use his shot in the dark and he will be safe. They didn't give him an alternate name. So, he searches for an idol.

Drew has a plan to flush the idol and go after Kellie because she has so much power in the game. It seems to be between Jake and Kellie as targets as they head off to Tribal Council.

Tribal Council - Night 16. Kaleb sits alone in the jury box looking all clean. He looked shocked at Bruce's Immunity necklace. They talk about the rice and the four who sat out of the challenge. Jake makes a pitch. He loses track of his thoughts. He talks about them dogpiling onto him and was willing to go to rocks last Tribal. Kellie thinks Jake went into it too fast. Jake gets quite defensive if it's a unanimous vote tonight. Is it a ploy because he's a lawyer?

He talks about if he pulls out my ... er an idol tonight or play shot in the dark. Time to vote.

The tally. Jake plays his shot in the dark. He is NOT Safe.

Jake, Jake, Jake, Kellie, Kellie, Kellie, Kellie, Kellie.

9th person voted out is Kellie, second member of the jury. She is mad.

BB25: Live Season Finale Blog Party

 

We made it! We lived through this too long season of 100 days in the Big Brother house. While the first half of the season was good, once we hit the Zombie week it was like the season itself jumped the shark. But we stayed. And, yeah ... there were some gems here and there. I would never have predicted the final three to be Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag.

Tonight, on the two-hour finale, we will see:

• The rest of Part One of the final HOH comp which had its start aired on the Tuesday show.
• Part Two of the final HOH comp which is taped.
• Part Three of the final HOH comp which will be live.
• The Jury Roundtable with Dr. Will (which sounds great!)
• Live eviction down to the Final Two
• Jury questions
• Final Two speeches
• The voting and winner of BB25
• America's Favorite Player
• Whatever "holiday surprise" Julie was talking about. I'm in fear because I've seen promos for it with Britney, Frankie and Danielle in holiday pajamas.

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

Before we get started, Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. I find it hard to believe I'm still in my own blog pool! Here's where we stand ...

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

Matt - Brenda, Helenann2k, Brent McKee, Chrob61

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

JURY

Cameron

Cory

Blue

America

Cirie

Felicia

Hamster watchers ready?

Julie tonight

I sat through the Previously On segment.

We go to the Part One of the HOH in which they are hanging on suspended balls crashing into stuff. We get diary room bits on why each needs to win. They are getting hit with goo, hair and ice-cold rain. They have to move down from the disk to the bubble. Bowie Jane out at an hour 24 minutes. Jag and Matt want to do rock-paper-scissors. Jag goes down. MATT is the winner of Part One!

Bowie Jane and Jag will compete in Part Two. Julie tells us the Dr. Will Roundtable is up next.

Here we go! Felicia comes in to join them. They talk about Bowie Jane and her non-game. America thinks floating worked as a strategy for her. They talk about control. Cory thinks Jag was more in control. Cirie thinks he manipulated so many. This is really good. I'm not able to keep up with each statement. They say Matt has a better social game than Jag. Lots of positive talk about Matt. His worst moves were not owning up to his moves in the game.

Bowie Jane's parents are in the crowd from Australia.

Part Two of the HOH Comp! Competitions have to be sent back to their proper universe. Zipline back and forth, chronological orders for the comps in the correct universes.

Jag studied hard but never paid attention to what universe each comp came from. He's having all kinds of problems. Finally gets it. He thinks his performance was horrible. Then it's Bowie Jane's turn. I wish she would stop shouting in the Diary Room. Like Jag, she didn't pay attention to which universe each comp was from. She seems to be doing worse than Jag. Finally she finishes. JAG wins Part Two! 1 hour 2.56 minutes vs. Bowie Jane's hour and a half.

Jag has final two deals with both Matt and Bowie Jane. Now, that can't happen, right?

Time for Part Three HOH comp! Meowmeow Enterprises sends them Jury Verse. How well do they know the jury? Videos, three statements about the jury person, one is false. Six videos.

1. Both right

2. Both right

3. Both right

4. Both right

5. Both right

6. Both wrong

To a tiebreaker. How many minutes was the When Universes Collide Part One comp from the start to when Jag went down?

Matt 140 Jag 163 -- 176 is right.

JAG wins Part Three!

To the living room. 

Matt - Jag, my boy. Love you, had each other's back. Let's keep it real.

Bowie Jane - Good buddies, would like to be in the final two, lots of money on the line.

Jag chooses to evict ... he tells both good things about them. He chooses to evict Bowie Jane. He has to take Matt to the final two. She's good about it.

Bowie Jane tells Julie she told Jag he had to do what is right for him. Short and sweet interview.

Jury questions time. Three questions for each finalist.

Cirie - Matt - Through game Jag leader, you follower. What moves were your own? Saved Jag's game. We did everything together, why we're here.

Cory - Jag - You and Matt working together, did you carry Matt to final two? I made it happen, I was the leader.

Felicia - Matt - 2 occasions you told me you were thinking of evicting Jag, real or lie? I was loyal to Jag, told you what you wanted to hear.

America - Jag - Goodbye messages you took credit before you never said anything? I finished the job and can own up then.

Cameron - Matt - Lying a big part of the game, strategic lie? Telling people I would take a shot at Jag, telling people what they wanted to hear.

Blue - Jag - Voted out week four, why do you deserve to win the game over the person saving you? Came up with BB mastership game for myself, adapted, my journey in the game is testament to that.

Bowie Jane - Jag - How did your game change for the better when you joined in the Mafia with Matt and me? Loves her.

Final statements from the Final Two.

Matt - First deaf person to play the game, had to play a social game, had to step up, lived in Have Not, almost perfect game, good social game, he worked on his social game rather than the comps, performed when needed to, backed away, team player. I played my own game. Had Jag gone out, I would have been fine.

Jag - I have willed this to be this way, I signed your eviction notices. Got Cam out. Singlehandedly sent Cory and Blue home. I convinced Matt to send Cirie home. I am the most dominant and strategic player in this house. All your blood is on my hands. I am the first Sikh player.

Time to vote.

Cameron - what a road, voting for the guy I told over a month ago.

Cory - Voting for the person I can beat in a fight.

Blue - Team brunette, team blond

America - To the slimiest snake of them all

Cirie - I am loyal, voting person most loyal to me.

Felicia - Neither of you were loyal to me, best ability to get befriended.

Bowie Jane - Keep to my word.

The pre-jury is there. Julie asks Mecole what surprises her the most -- Cameron was the hero rather than the villain. He is flattered. Hisam surprised Mecole is a political consultant. Bowie Jane admits being a criminal trial attorney specializing in money laundering and tax fraud. Felicia brings up her age. She admits being 45.

Cameron, Felicia's famous relative ... Denzel. Felicia admits not true. All are shocked that Jared is Cirie's son. That bit must be watched!

Time to reveal the vote!

BJ - Jag

Felicia - Matt

Cirie - Matt

America - Jag

Blue - Jag

Cory - Jag

JAG WINS BB25! (And JACKIE wins the blog pool for the first time!) Cameron also voted Jag.

America's favorite houseguest. Top three -- Cirie, Matt and Cameron.

CAMERON won it!

There is something going on in the BB House -- Frankie, Danielle and Britney are in laundry bins in storage. They find their doohickey to close the Multiverse. They shoot it and the universes go away one by one. Uh-oh Christmas stuff starts floating around, they have holiday pjs on now.

Brand new show BB Reindeer Gane with legendary BB players. Jordan Derek and Tiffany as Santa's elves. Premieres December 11.

 

The Amazing Race 35: Like Two Cats Fighting in a Car - Ep. 7 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 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

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.

Greg/John get their clue -- leaving India and heading to Frankfurt, Germany. All teams will be on the same flight. So, there will be a bunching point again. Once there, they will have to do the driving for the first time. Ashlie and Todd lived in Germany for a while as did Robbin.

Teams hit the ground running and find their cars. They have to drive to a ferry which will take them to a castle. They need to spend five euros on board to exchange for historical coins to pay their way at the Roadblock. Already a few teams are not following the directions right.

Three teams hit the Roadblock -- Must pay off a robber baron to pay the toll. The hard part is to figure out what the witten (coins) are worth. The coin values are the issue. They get the clue and rappel down the side of a mountain. Morgan and Lena are through first.

After the Roadblock they will head to Cologne. 

Uh-oh, Malaina and Andrea are on the wrong ferry. They think they're in first. They never got the historical coins because they never got on the right ferry.

The teams hitting Cologne are having directional issues. Even father/daughter are arguing.

It's time to horse around. It's a carnival. One team member has to ride a carnival bike horse while the other throws flowers.

They have to go on foot to get the next clue.

Malaina and Andrea are totally lost, haven't even found the castle yet. When they did find the castle, they had to head back to the right ferry for the coins. Other teams are having trouble finding the right place to park in Cologne.

Roadblock - They have to unlock a marked love lock on a bridge. The lock combination is the oldest cologne made in Cologne -- 4711. Greg got the lock first. They are in first place again. Ashlie helped Rob out with the number.

Detour: Just for Kicks -- Velcro soccer balls on dartboard. Matter of Taste -- identify nine mustard seed flavors by taste. As a person who HATES mustard, I could never taste the mustards! Greg and John finish first. They can head to the Pit Stop which is at a chocolate museum.

Pit Stop Order

1. Greg/John - won $4,000 each

2. Robbin/Chelsea

3. Todd/Ashlie

4. Rob/Corey

5. Steve/Anna Leigh

6. Morgan/Lena

7. Garrett/Joel

Uh-oh ... the carnival has packed up and Phil is waiting for Malaina and Andrea there. They are Philiminated.

Survivor 45: The Thorn in My Thumb - Ep. 7 Blog Party

 

Good evening! Tonight's show should be interesting. The promos have two people getting their torches snuffed. 

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. 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:

Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC

Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie

Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N

Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924

Bruce --- Krysta, Skyriverblue

Kellie --- Michelle, Bizaro22

Jake --- Donna in FL, TS14Fan

Katurah --- Donna NY, April W

Kaleb --- CherylNY, Cookie Jar

Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee

Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready?

Sitting through the Previously On segment.

They're returning from Tribal. Kaleb had played his shot in the dark and everyone had voted against him. Of course, he knows he has no friends there. Bruce, in front of all, calls out Katurah for being hesitant to vote Kaleb out. She tells us that Bruce is the thorn in her thumb and now a serious liability. Now Bruce is on Kendra's radar, too.

Day 14. Kaleb is bonding with Katurah. They talk about Bruce. They think they want to target him next and recruit others. Emily and Kaleb continue to want to work together. Emily talks to Austin. He has a two-way steal a vote with Kellie. He did not vote the last Tribal. His idol has reached its final form if she goes.

Kaleb talks to Jake. He wants to get in with Bruce a bit more. Bruce is saying great things about Kaleb to Kaleb. But he has an ulterior motive. Bruce is making Kaleb feel like one of his kids. Bruce has Jake and Kellie as his number ones, does he need Kaleb?

Kellie thinks that Bruce has too many agendas against others to deal with. There are five original Belo members. Jake thinks a Reba/Belo war will be coming and they need Kaleb.

Right to a classic Immunity Challenge -- holding onto a pole. Twist -- two groups of six, two people lasting longest win Immunity. Reward -- Sanctuary and the winning group gets to go second to Tribal. The loser of the first Tribal won't make jury.

Blue Team

Emily first out for Blue, Julie out for Red. Kendra and Jake both out for Red. Sifu out for Blue, Bruce out. Austin out Red. Drew out. 

Kellie wins for BLUE and is now competing for Reward. Kaleb out for Red. Katurah out. Dee wins for RED and is up against Kellie for Reward. Dee wins Reward for Red!

Blue goes to the Sanctuary. Red has to go to the old Lulu camp and make some decisions.

Dee thinks they're all voting Kaleb. Julie is worried for herself. Jake, of course, wants Kaleb as a shield. Jake thinks that Dee is dangerous but safe. However, Dee is with Julie, so he wants to go for her to leave.

Drew thinks a Sifu blindside is best He does want Bruce out but wants to work with him. Drew left his bag with his idol at the other beach. He talks to Kendra to try to get a Bruce out movement afoot. Bruce thinks Kendra is dropping his name ... and he's right. He has his idol and trusts Kellie.

Austin and Dee are talking about Kaleb. Maybe keeping Kaleb might be best? Dee says no and thinks Jake will work with them to get Kaleb out. Jake agrees with her but that's a lie. Kaleb tells Jake that Katurah should be told about Bruce's idol. Maybe she can flip them. Three votes on Julie, three on Kaleb, revote, draw rocks -- is Jake's plan. Convince Austin they don't need to draw rocks.

Katurah knows that Jake wants Julie out. Jake agrees that Bruce has an idol. Although now she knows that all of her previous alliance knew that Bruce had the idol but her. Will she vote with the Reba people? Now she can't really trust them.

Old Lulu Camp -- Sifu and Emily talk about voting out Bruce. Sifu thinks it might be him getting voted out tonight. Kendra and Kellie talk about Bruce, thinking it might not be time for him to go yet. At least that's Kellie's take on it. Maybe Sifu is an easy target? Drew thinks Bruce out would be better for his own game but doesn't know if they can swing it. 

Time to vote. The tally -- Bruce, Sifu, Sifu, Sifu, Sifu ... four is enough.

Sifu is voted out.

Red is heading in to Tribal. Dee says the group bonded today. They can't be robots but if the target is you, you can't be safe. Jake talks trust and reliance. Kaleb wonders if he is alone, must show that he can be an ally. Time to vote. Dee votes Kaleb, Kaleb votes Julie.

The tally -- Kaleb, Julie, Kaleb, Julie, Kaleb, Kaleb. 

Aw, rats. I liked Kaleb. He's the first jury member.

Kendra talks to Bruce, but he doesn't trust her. Bruce tells Kellie he will play his idol tonight. 

Tribal Council time for Blue first. Drew talks about how the one out won't be on jury and it's scary. Jeff continues asking his Probsting questions. Sifu says he knows people see him as a threat. Sifu sees the division within the six.

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 ...

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:

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

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

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 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.
