BB25: Live Feeds Into Sunday - Oct. 29

 

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Comp Winners Only Need Apply:

• Just a personal opinion here -- I was so happy to see a better mix of ages with the hamsters this season. I've never been one for showmances and the whole cast being models and bartenders. Putting the Cirie twist aside, if you are going to have folks 50 and older in the cast, preferably more than two or three, the playing field for comps needs to be adjusted a bit, too. Otherwise, the younger more able "comp beasts" will just plow their way to the end. BB is a social strategy game, too. Make that count just as much!
• Okay, off my soapbox.
• I shouldn't complain as my blog pool random pick is Jag this season. Unless either Matt or Bowie Jane gather the nerve to get him, he will plow his way to the win. It would be the first time I ever won my own blog pool if that's the case.
• Not all that much has changed over the last day.
• Jag has managed to completely turn Matt against Cirie.
• Of course, Matt can't vote anyway. So, it was always to be Jag's vote and Bowie Jane will do whatever Jag wants as he is in charge.
• Jag is not being a nice guy about things.
• He kept going on last night about the evils of Cirie rallying his troop of three.
• He also plans to tell both Felicia and Cirie that they are safe (separately), then vote out Cirie.
• I'm disappointed in how callous he has become. He was NOT that way earlier in the game.
• They apparently had a luxury type comp during an extended feed break early yesterday evening -- Halloween related and Matt won money.
• Felicia and Cirie are still cooking for the three!
• Eek.
• Now, Matt makes a mean scrambled egg. I don't recall ever seeing Bowie Jane cook and I've only seen Jag cook at the grill after the food is prepped by Felicia.
• Instead of calling it cook's quits, Felicia is running around checking in with Jag and Matt all the time to see if she's good.
• Heck, yes. She seems to be good going into Thursday as they are so focused on Jag's distrust of Cirie. 
• But Felicia is next and I don't see that train stopping at the station.
• That's all for now.
• Laters!

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls ...

I'm surprised he's a follower rather than a leader.

STOP cooking for them!

So happy he's HOH ... wait, he's not HOH?

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday, Power of Veto - Oct. 28

 

Supposedly not the target this week.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Is This Ever Going To End?:

• Nothing changed much in the overnight hours.
• Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag are just about certain one of them will win the veto, keeping the noms the same.
• Matt wants Felicia out rather than Cirie.
• The other two agreed to that but they vote, Matt doesn't.
• Jag would prefer Cirie out. 
• Bowie Jane doesn't care, just as long as she isn't on the block. After all, her big goal was to have fun and make it to jury.
• Felicia and Cirie harped about how Bowie Jane got to where she is by following the power each week.
• As an observer, I will say she did that. I think she also threw just about every comp she played until recently. Even a recent win or two were just flukes as she tried to throw them.
• Bowie Jane thinks that the ones who haven't won any comps have been lazy and selfish even if they have been trying.
• Say what?
• Jag, Matt and Bowie Jane have the votes so that, even if either Felicia or Cirie win veto, the remaining one on the block will go home.
• Matt told Cirie that if she or Felicia come down he was thinking of backdooring Jag.
• Oh my!
• I doubt that he would have the nerve to do that.
• Plus, unless it's a total crap shoot kind of comp, Felicia and Cirie probably won't win. The comps haven't really been too conducive for older players to win this season.
• Right now, as I type this up, the feeds are blocked for the comp.
• Once I find out who won, I will be posting.
• Jag won veto.
• Of course. They say Cirie did well.
• For what that's worth.

Of course.

Bowie Jane took a rest from smiling.

Has the forlorn look down pat.

Who woulda thunk it?

BB25: Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - Oct. 27

 

I do NOT want to know what is in the pockets!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dastardly Deception:

• Now, we all heard Matt take Cirie aside at the end of the live show. "You will never touch the block."
• Tsk, tsk.
• After the live feeds returned last night, when Matt was with Bowie Jane and Jag, he said he would probably have to put Felicia and Cirie on the block.
• Oh, the fact Felicia would go up should go without saying.
• Since we know he's too scared to put Jag up (which would be the smart game strategy move -- or at least consider a backdoor), he only has three to choose from.
• Bowie Jane, Cirie and Felicia.
• Neither Bowie Jane nor Cirie have been on the block.
• Felicia has been on the block more often than not.
• It's Jag who has more of a relationship with Bowie Jane than Matt.
• It's Matt who has more of a relationship with Cirie than Jag.
• Will Matt just acquiesce and do what Jag wants? Or will he think of his own game?
• Matt's own game plan is that he thinks he can beat Cirie in a final two. 
• No one thinks they can beat Jag in a final two. 
• Well, maybe Felicia does but she carries old food around in her pockets. Nuff said!
• In Matt's HOH room, his letter was from Reilly. Now he's in love again.
• There was also a photo of his mother with Reilly.
• Bowie Jane and Matt have talked about Jag having to go much as Cirie and Matt have talked about it.
• If Jag were to go on the block (not likely), he is the Veto King this season. Even if he's not on the block, statistically he's most likely to win the veto.
• Hmm.
• If I were Matt, I would be tempted to put Bowie Jane and Felicia on the block, keeping my promise to Cirie. If those noms remained the same, chances are Felicia would get evicted.
• But I'm not Matt. He seems like he will put Felicia and Cirie on the block. With them up, it's a toss-up but Cirie would probably be voted out.
• He's been conspiring with Bowie Jane. Sigh.
• Matt does want Felicia out instead of Cirie, but it's Bowie Jane and Jag voting.
• I'm playing a waiting game for the nominations to be made.
• Then I will post this.
• The feeds returned to them all playing pool in the yard.
• Hmm. The yard should probably be closing down for prep for tomorrow's POV comp.
• No clue other than what we already know was supposed to go down for the noms.
• Confirmed -- Cirie and Felicia are on the block.

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

Jag is happy for his Minutefriend.

Reilly loves me!

Bowie Jane will have no jury votes.

BB25: Live Feeds - New HOH Winner - Oct. 27

 

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

The live feeds returned at past 1:30AM ET, well past the end of the west coast "live show" airing.

Matt is the new HOH. 

About time Matt won an HOH!

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Oct. 26

 

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wasted Wisdom:

• The plan remains the same -- Blue should be evicted tonight.
• The only question is whether it will be unanimous or 3-1 vote.
• Oh, wait. 
• There is another question ... should they tell Blue this morning, just before the live show or ...?
• They are expecting a double eviction tonight.
• No, production did not tell them.
• They just know with the numbers and the finale date one must be done and there is never a double cutting into the final four.
• Felicia's antics as of late have now put a target on her back for eviction in the double.
• That is, if no one can get Jag.
• Although Jag might suspect that he will be targeted, just about everyone (including Matt) know he has to get the boot at the first opportunity they have.
• Otherwise, if he gets to the end, with all the comp wins, he will stand a good chance of winning it all.
• Of course, that decision would be made on comp wins when his strategy and people skills are lacking.
• But this crowd seems to only think comps.
• We know if America, who is on the target list for the second eviction tonight, wins HOH, she will put Matt and Jag on the block.
• I guess we play a game of wait and see.
• Laters!

He should be very worried.

Her actions have now put a target on her back.

Should they tell her? 

Will go with the house vote.

BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday - Oct. 25

 

What? A new couple? AmeriBowie?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Felicia in a Frenzy:

• Felicia is still running to Jag, even waking him up in the HOH room, to rat out what was her ally, Cirie.
• And she went beyond that.
• Felicia ratted out MATT, Jag's number one brobuddy ally, his "Minuteman."
• Felicia told Jag that Matt and Cirie were talking about the best time to get Jag out would be during the double eviction (which they are expecting, not that they were told about it -- the math isn't mathing any other way).
• Finally Matt told Cirie about what Felicia has been saying to Jag about her.
• Although Cirie has been trying to hmm hmmm Felicia due to her own suspicions, she never thought it was that bad.
• Now, I don't really know Felicia's motivation behind this all.
• She has to realize that, with Jag winning so many comps, he is the number one target to get out before the game hits final three.
• Hitching onto him now will probably be hitching onto a falling star rather than a shooting star.
• So, she is totally ruining her game with what should be her best ally and even burning any future gameplay with Matt.
• Well, Jag confronted Matt about the Felicia "When to get Jag out" tale.
• Matt denied it and claimed that the only time he was saying he would vote out Jag is the week he knew he was going to use the power to save him.
• Eventually Matt and Cirie both talked to Jag. 
• Although a bit of Felicia's tale telling has some truth to it, they both denied it and made Felicia appear to be in a frenzy to try to get into the finals.
• Whether Jag believes them or not, I don't know. He has never really trusted Cirie the way Matt does. But, he also doesn't want to split up with Matt.
• Blue is still the target.
• Matt and Cirie told Jag it was Felicia wanting a split vote with him having to get blood on his hands with a tiebreaker.
• Split or unanimous? What a decision.
• Like all season, they decided unanimous. Now they need to decide whether to tell Blue or not and when.
• We're getting near the final stretch.
• Thank goodness.
• Laters!

Why is Felicia saying all this stuff?

Jag, I said I wanted you out the week I saved you.

All is backfiring with Plan Tattletale.

Still believes she's the pawn.

Talking about Felicia's tales with Matt and Jag.

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - Oct. 24

 

Mr. B! We have a problem! Out of propane!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of 100 Days is an Eternity:

• For the most part, this day was a whole lotta nuthin'.
• After two days of grilling with the new grill, no one was burned.
• However, they did run out of propane while food was on the grill, thus putting Felicia into a demand mode with "Mr. B."
• Felicia talked with Bowie Jane, telling her that they have to trust someone.
• Um, not Felicia for sure!
• While she spoke with Bowie Jane about how Matt/Jag have to go in order for anyone else to win, that's the same talk she ratted Cirie out on to Jag!
• And Felicia has been dismissive of Bowie Jane all season.
• Not just dismissive, but derogatory! Bowie Jane has the nickname FBJ on the internet due to Felicia. That F does NOT stand for Felicia!
• The other female problem child is America.
• Didn't the love of her life Cory just leave less than a week ago?
• She is flirty heavy with Jag.
• At one point, they were playing pool and she pointed at her breast telling him to notice the stain there.
• Say what?
• He did respond with, 'I don't want to see that. Why are you telling me that?"
• However, I can see her continuing to flirt.
• He will continue to push for her to stay. Then, IF she can manage an HOH win, he will be on the block with his bromance buddy Matt.
• Cirie and Felicia talked about deliberately splitting the vote this week to force Jag to "get blood on his hands" with a tiebreaker.
• Matt/Bowie vote out Blue while Felicia/Cirie vote out America.
• That would be fun.
• But you know that Jag would cut Blue, someone who has been very loyal to him.
• Felicia continues to cast suspicion on Cirie with Jag. She hinted to him that Cirie might have a final two plan with America.
• Really now.
• Felicia also said to herself/us that Cirie won't make it to the final three.
• Cirie seems to be picking up on some of Felicia's shenanigans, but I'm not sure what she will do about them. She's hmmm-ing a lot more when talking to Felicia.
• Laters!

You have to trust someone. (Um, not you!)

Grill mates. 

Jag, look at my chest!

Such a dangerous player. Yeah, right.

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday, POV Meeting - Oct. 23

 

She just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of We Need a Shake Up:

• Bowie Jane, since she is no longer in tears about being a possible pawn on the block, broke out the vegemite she received in her HOH basket.
• She made vegemite on English muffins rather than vegemite sandwiches.
• Nevertheless, the song is stuck in my mind.
• Felicia continues to talk to both Jag and Matt about Cirie.
• Felicia told Jag that Cirie told Blue she is the target. Of course, Felicia thinks America is the target. Cirie knows Blue is the target. From what I saw, she didn't tell Blue outright, just a word to be careful.
• They got the outdoor grill yesterday. "Mr. B" was kind enough to supply aprons when Felicia asked for them.
• Neither Matt nor Jag think the Cirie would put them on the block if she wins HOH.
• Meanwhile, Felicia told Jag that Bowie Jane talked about getting the guys out.
• Yeah, one of them won't put her on the block because she cries!
• And Jag is taking all Felicia is bringing to him, patting her on the back for being the only one telling him stuff and confirming her place in the final three with him and Matt.
• Apparently to stay on her good side, Jag told Felicia he was thinking of targeting Blue instead of America because Blue is more of a comps threat.
• Oh my. I have no clue how that argument even works! 
• The ONLY comp Blue won was the veto in which she wrote numbers on a piece of paper.
• Both Blue and America have had solid second and third places in more physical comps. I would call them about even.
• Jag just wants Blue out just like he did last week until she saved herself.
• Felicia edged the bus over Cirie some more placing doubt that she is rocking with the final four of Felicia, Matt, Jag and Cirie.
• She told Jag that Cirie is good at talking to people and getting others to do her dirty work for her.
• Yet, when talking to Cirie later, Felicia told her all is set with the final four deal.
• Hmm.
• Felicia told Cirie in a double (which they are thinking will happen this week) they need to get America (since Blue will be out first) or Bowie Jane out.
• Cirie, foolishly trusting her bus driving ally, told her that they really needed to get Matt or Jag out.
• Which, of course, makes more sense. I have no clue why Felicia is even entertaining the thought of being at the end with Matt or Jag.
• The feeds were blocked for the veto meeting.
• Jag did not use the veto.
• America and Blue remain on the block.

Can she survive a double?

Will have to get back to swimming weight.

Just throw your ally Cirie under that bus some more.

Once again targeting Blue, who is loyal to him.

BB25: Live Feeds into Sunday - Oct. 22

 

Felicia keeps throwing Cirie under the bus!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Where Am I and What Am I Doing in This Handbasket?

• Like stuck in a bad remake of Groundhog Day, remember ... Jag is the HOH again.
• He put both America and Blue on the block, telling them that each other is the target.
• His real target is Blue. He told everyone except Felicia (and Blue, of course) that.
• Then Jag won the Power of Veto with everyone playing except Cirie.
• Cirie was not chosen for any veto comps at all. They have checked the chips and there are Cirie chips in there.
• They are thinking that this week will probably be a double eviction.
• Yep, indeed it is!
• And then comes Felicia along ... Cirie's number one ally?
• She went and told Jag that Cirie told Blue she was the target this week.
• Sheesh! With friends like Felicia, you don't need enemies!
• And, where would Felicia get this information? Cirie surely would not say it in front of her. And, I do doubt that Blue would go and say Cirie say it.
• I didn't see it on the live feeds. I saw Cirie pep-talk Blue and tell her to win the veto. However, that's kind of regular stuff.
• But it seems like Felicia wants to flip the target to Cirie.
• Uh-oh.
• Ah, but there is more Felicia to come!
• She talked to Matt, telling him that Jag is the new Cameron and needs to go. She threw Cirie back under that bus and insisted it back over her to get the job done.
• Of course, this was to Matt. About the only thing he took away from it is that Cirie thinks he, Jag and Bowie Jane have a final three deal.
• He went to Jag with that intel.
• Oh my.
• Despite all of this, I think Jag will not change the nominations tomorrow and Blue remains the target.
• Now, that could change.
• Laters!

Rein in your buddy, Cirie.

Obviously bereft at the loss of Cory.

Not smiling quite as bright.

A three-cook kitchen.

Pro-Cirie although Jag is not.

BB25: Live Feeds, Power of Veto Winner - Saturday - Oct. 21

 

At least he can't win three HOH comps in a row!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Too Many Days:

• I really don't have much I haven't told you before.
• Jag put America and Blue on the block telling each one the other one was the target.
• His target is foolishly Blue. 
• Blue is loyal to Jag and Matt.
• America is not. She has promised one week safety IF she wins HOH.
• America has not won any comps.
• In addition to Jag, Blue and America playing for veto, we have Bowie, Felicia and Matt.
• If either Felicia or Matt win it, I can see them being worried that Cirie would go up as a replacement nom.
• Oh, about that Bowie.
• I'm just not getting her and how the others seem to act like she's not even there.
• She burst into a crying jag last week when the thought of her going on the block as a pawn was proposed.
• How come Felicia can go up there weeks on end?
• I do think that Bowie has been throwing comps. But it's time for her to realize that summer camp is over and she needs to declare loyalty to one side or another.
• Okay, feeds are back.
• Jag won Veto.
• Of course.

Of course.

Could it be one in which Felicia would rule?

I want to get you out but I want to work with you.

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

BB25: Live Feeds Nominations - Oct. 20

 

One on one meetings one by one.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Groundhog Day HOH:

• Yes, Jag won HOH again. That's back-to-back because of the invisible not invisible HOH twist.
• He's having one on one meetings with everyone. While they aren't as hard core interrogations as Hisam once held, they are a bit tiring.
• He talked to Felicia first, telling her he was considering putting her up as a pawn (for the 6th time!). He claims his target is America and he might put both Felicia and Blue up hoping for the veto or either Blue or her up with America. He asked that she tell Blue that she's not the target.
• Hmm.
• When he spoke to Bowie Jane, who when last talked to about going on the block as a pawn went on a crying jag, he told her that she is the only one beside Matt who knows Blue is his target. I have no clue why he protects Bowie Jane, but he does. He told her that Felicia threw her name out as a pawn.
• Jag also told Cirie that his target is Blue. He told her that he plans to tell Blue that America is the target.
• While talking to America, she offered a deal that if she stays this week and wins HOH, she will not nominate or renom him or Matt. Jag told her it would look suspicious if he doesn't put her on the block, but she won't be his target.
• When he talked with Blue he made the point that he needs her to win the veto to make sure America goes home. She told him she was expecting it. Okay. Expect him to betray your trust now, GRRRL.
• Both Jag and Blue talked about how they trust Cirie and how good both of them are in the game with her.
• Heh.
• Although Cory mentioned that a double eviction is due before he was evicted last week, it just seems to be a minor thought now.
• After blocked feeds, we now have the nominations ...
• ... Blue and America are on the block.

Hey girl. Watch your back.

Why is everyone so LOUD?

Sure, Jag. I will work with you.
