BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Aug. 17

 

Good evening! We know for sure there will be an eviction tonight. What we don't know is whether it will be Reilly or Cameron heading out the door. In my opinion, he irks me and she cries too much. So, it's no skin off my nose or whatever saying fits which one leaves. I have personally given up the thought that we will have a live HOH comp on the show. It seems that the producers have that set for Sunday evening show content these days. If the HOH comp plays out on the live feeds tonight, I will cover the action in a new live feeds post.

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. If your hamster gets evicted tonight, you are out of the pool. No battle-backs! Luke and Kirsten's blog folks were reassigned due to expulsion and first eviction. But no more mercy! Sure, you can hang around with us and we can all BB fake hug you as you get the boot, but Lifeguard SueGee will take your names off and might even send you to the Nether Region. Ahem. She won't do that -- that sounds too disgusting. Here is where the blog pool stands going into the show:

Cory - Sharon N, Nickelpeed, Indiana Jane, deaflady

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

Reilly - KelseyNY, Cherry Pie, TS14Fan, KathyB

America - Andi, Joanne Victoria, Willie J, Caela

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

Mecole - cctru, Lili, Marthalight, MikesGirl, quixoticelf

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

Matt - Brenda, Helenann2k, Brent McKee, Chrob61

Hisam - jo C, SueGee, David, ThunderSunflower, Pearl

Cameron- Cheryl in NC, JonMD 1267, CherylNY, Tilde

Red - DonnaNY , ChaCha, Donna in Florida ,YoDave, Ayana

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

Izzy - Michelle, Glenn Allen, Jennasmom, ChicMc

Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

Jared - Bizaro22, TBone, PDX Granny, Fred aka TwoBlackAces

Let's get this show started! Hey, it's 9:02PM here. Where is the show? Ah, finally Ghosts is ending. That's odd.

Juie has kind of a cute light pinkish slacks and jacket on tonight. She tells us one will go home forever tonight. Then we are into the recap. 

Is there trouble in paradise with the Professors alliance? We find out tonight!

It's Day 16. Julie reminds us that Hisam is ruling the game with three comp wins in a row. 

But first ... Hisam's veto speech may not have gone over as planned. Reilly sniffles in the Diary Room about Hisam singling her out as his target in front of everyone.

Jag tells us that they have six votes to keep Reilly and they need one additional vote to keep her in. Izzy and Cirie think Hisam's speech may have gotten more sympathy than she had before. Cirie feels that she and Felicia could be safe. But she doesn't know if crossing Hisam would be good for her game.

Cirie talks to Matt, tells him that Reilly has been nothing but nice to her and Felicia. Cory, Blue and Izzy talk about Hisam's speech ... he was extra according to Izzy. Cirie and Felicia say they need to decide which move is the best for their own game.

Heh. We're into Cameron's thinking that Felicia is Denzel Washington's sister. That was hoot on the live feeds. He thinks mannerisms, the way she talks, etc. Bwahahaha!

Jag is talking to Cirie trying to get her to keep Reilly. He tells her it would be a blindside. Cirie is thinking about it because Hisam alienated so much of the house.

The Professors have a little party in the HOH room complete with beverages. He talks to them about how Reilly's group will scramble post-Reilly. Jag suggest Blue and Jared on the block. Oh my. Felicia and Cirie are ticked off that Hisam thinks he's totally in charge. He tells them to be mindful that others may try to create alliances with them.

Izzy tells Cirie that Hisam is going crazy, suggests backdooring Hisam next week. Felicia doesn't want him to target Jared. Suprisingly (heh), Cirie agrees.

Still in taped bits. Hisam decides he needs to go around talking to people and asks America what will go on post-Reilly, tells her Reilly split the house in two and he was actually trying to work with the other side. America thinks she might be able to use the information. She tells Cameron. He runs to Cirie, Izzy and Felicia with the news after America told him not to tell anyone. They talk to Mecole about it. Cirie says Bowie doesn't do well with a lot of information. Hisam's talk makes them feel like they are useless. 

Mecole tells us she's stressed. She doesn't know if getting Hisam angry at them is best for the house.

To the living room. 

Cameron - Reilly is amazing and incredible, Mom, love and solidarity with houseguests thanks all

Reilly - Compliments Julie, shout outs, built a family with houseguests, she is teary, hope to all remain friends.

The votes to evict:

Red -- Reilly

Bowie Jane -- Reilly

Jag -- Reilly

Cory -- Reilly

To commercial ...

Matt -- Reilly EEK!

Blue -- Reilly

Cirie -- Reilly

Felicia -- Reilly

America -- Reilly

Mecole -- Reilly

Izzy -- Reilly

Jared -- Reilly

Second unanimous vote. Reilly is expecting it. She hugs Cameron. Hisam hugs Matt and thanks him for voting her out. We see the BB fake hugs abound. Last and deepest hug went to Matt. 

After she goes out, Hisam runs around hugging all with a rather smug look on his face. 

She tells Julie that she told her alliance not to risk their games (Hisam fear) to save her if it looks like she won't have the vote. She is shocked when Julie tells her about Cirie/Jared. She is handling the interview very well and held up with the goodbye messages from Izzy and Matt, looked disappointed at Jag's goodbye.

Julie tells us the ScaryVerse is back next week. We got a sneak peek at what must be the HOH comp tonight. Pressure Cooker next week. But if the comp is on the feeds, I'll cover it. If it isn't I'll report on the winner. That's the next post!

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Aug. 17

 

A rare Bowie Jane sighting!

Good morning fellow hamster voyeurs! Before we get going with this, I would like to thank those who donated to the blog. I did notice an issue with the Buy Me a Coffee system. They apparently don't accept payments from credit cards outside the United States. I had two CC payments for $5 each, one from Brazil, the other Belgium, that failed. (Yes, my statistics show I have readers from pretty much all over the world which I find very cool.) I do appreciate the efforts of those two readers, though. I believe PayPal does accept bank payments outside the US, plus makes it easier for me to thank folks. Thank you all again!

So ... what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Drama Llamas?

• Cirie is trying to backpedal to Jag and Reilly over the flip. She has Izzy with her for the talk but told her to be quiet.
• Just on Tuesday it looked like the Save Reilly campaign might result in a near unanimous vote.
• But then common sense and the long game plan came to Cirie and Izzy.
• Why would they get Hisam, the condescending King of Comps on their side, mad at them this early in the game?
• As Mecole so wisely put it the other day -- the math is not mathing up.
• Sure, everybody is upset with Hisam and he put a huge target on his back.
• Hisam cannot play for HOH this week.
• But if nominated, he CAN play for veto. Although odds are against someone winning four comps in a row, it could happen. He's that good at both physical and mental comps.
• Now, if he just had a social game!
• Cirie is trying to convince Jag and Reilly that their own side is lying to them and will vote Reilly out, so she and Izzy must follow suit.
• "It's not my doing and I can't control it. People want to vote with the house."
• Hmm. Actually, right now, it looks like there won't be a house vote this week. Things will probably split along the battle lines of the two sides.
• That leaves people like Cory and Jared stuck.
• Both have been playing both sides of the house and they will have to show their cards.
• Reilly's bunch claims they want to target the floaters (after Hisam).
• But they do consider Cirie a player.
• They seem very unsure of Cory, Mecole, Bowie and Red.
• America seems way iffy. When she's with Reilly's bunch, she's with them. When she's talking to Izzy and Cory, she's with them voting out Reilly.
• I can't figure the truth although I'm leaning towards her voting out Reilly as she just formed a little alliance with Mecole.
• But, then again, America is the one who planted the seed with Blue and Jag that Cirie and Izzy are the leaders of that side.
• Cirie thinks it was Reilly calling them the ringleaders.
• Cirie told Red that the other side was going to go after him, Bowie and Mecole as they were "middle players" AKA floaters.
• Red went to Hisam telling him that Matt was upset with him (Hisam) over feeling that he threatened him, and America was playing both sides. They both agreed the next target should be Matt.
• Jared and Blue's continued friendship continues to grow.
• Eventually that will clash with Mama Cirie.
• At the moment, it looks like Reilly will be voted out.
• But even for me, it's hard to tell the concrete votes other than a few to do that.
• Laters!

No one is targeting Matt ... for the moment.

Why does she even talk to him?

Felicia's laugh is infectious!

Will the friendmance go showmance?

We aren't the ringleaders!

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 16

Good evening! I hope everyone is well. I want to thank those who have recently donated to the blog. With my medical bills and ongoing health issues it's deeply appreciated!

Tonight is the Veto comp episode. We have Reilly and Cameron on the block. Will one be saved? Some of us might already know, but ... shhh. Let them show it on the show!

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. We know this stuff!

We finally pick up with a teaser about who gets sent to the Nether Region next and the PoV comp which has them spinning records. There's an article out there about how the comp was adapted for Matt's deafness.

Hisam tells us Reilly is his target. He's putting Cameron next to her to see the other side "splinter and crumble." We get both nominees telling us how they feel about being nominated. We get Hisam treating Reilly in a real condescending patronizing manner. I can't blame her for being upset.

They are looking at the pictures on the Memory Wall (which just showed up this week). The Scary ball in the living room is flashing red. Jag returns. Jag has no message for them. He's safe for the week, doesn't know what the Nether Gorgon will ask him to do.

Hisam tells Matt he thinks Matt and Reilly are in a showmance. Hisam wants Matt to think saving Reilly would be dangerous to his game. Matt doesn't take too kindly to being threatened. Matt tells Reilly if he wins the veto, he will take her down.

Scary globe lights up again and they get a message. Jag has returned but the Gorgon Monster wants more souls. Jag must pick, that person cannot compete in the veto comp. Jag tells us he wants to confer with Hisam so Hisam thinks it's his idea. Hisam doesn't like Jag's Red idea. He decides to ask for volunteers. Everybody is telling him no. Bowie says she's good to whatever. Reilly wants Red to go because he would take Cameron down, Matt would probably go up.

Jag tells us it's not an easy decision. He goes with Bowie Jane. No one seems thrilled except maybe Bowie. She tells us she wanted to keep Red to possibly play for the veto. 

Now Reilly feels betrayed by both Jared and Jag. Hisam ain't happy either and says that Jag is lucky he's safe this week.

Veto comp playera pick time! Hisam draws first - Matt. Heh. Cameron gets America. Reilly draws Houseguest Choice, chooses Blue. All from the other side has Hisam hanging his head while Reilly's allies dance.

Cirie, Izzy and Hisam talk. Hisam is fussing about the picks. Cirie says it's "balls to the wall" and everybody is gunning for this veto.

Veto time. Hottest music store in ScrambleVerse. Have to spin a record to get three clues to find the task they need to accomplish. Three tasks in fastest time wins. The backyard is done up like an old record/music store.

They do the comp individually. Cameron is up first. The piano is a toilet seat! Eep. America is up next. This is a strange and different kind of comp than we've seen before. I do hope they sanitized that tuba between players. Matt is now up. Matt has trouble finding the peeano toilet. He also had to read the sign on the tuba because he had no idea what a tuba is. Blue is next, more confusion. Hisam time. He seems to be going through it fast. Reilly time. And into commercial when she finishes!

Results: Top three times. 3rs place is Blue 2.36. Second 2.10 is Cameron. 1st is Hisam with 1.45. (Thise are minutes and seconds.) HISAM wins the Power of Veto. Lots of fake hugs going around. No, they are NOT all happy he won!

ScaryVerse globe is lighting up -- the return of Bowie Jane. She says she has nothing to report. 

Hisam talks to Reilly. Well, she went to him. He tells her he doesn't want to "get any more blood on his hands." He will probably tell the others she is his target, and he wants them to vote her out at the veto meeting. Not a good talk for Reilly.

Veto Meeting time! Hisam doesn't use the veto. Says he loves Reilly but she is his target, she mentioned his name, caused the house to split early and wants everyone to vote her out.

Oh my. Cirie is not happy with her buddy Hisam. Most seemed rather shocked he was that blatant.

BB25: Live Feeds Overnight into Wednesday - Aug. 16

Okay, it's Wednesday

Did y'all read my live feeds report from yesterday (this here link)? Go read it, please. I mistakenly labeled it as Monday evening, but it was last night, Tuesday.

Now, forget about it. Well, except for maybe the witty screen cap captions! And my humble asking for donations, please!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Welcome to Waffle Wednesday:

• Before Tuesday night was out there, but it was Wednesday here on the East Coast ... WAFFLE TIME.
• Izzy and Cirie realized that if they make Hisam that angry at them for flipping to keep Reilly he could win the veto, then HOH the next week and guess who his targets would be?
• Instead of those on the other side of the house, it would be those who betrayed him.
• Yet, if Cameron wins HOH, he would put Hisam on the block.
• Or, pretty much anyone else would do it.
• As both Cory and Jared (two who were reluctant to be in on the boot Cameron plan) pointed out, Cirie was thinking Survivor 30 day time mode while BB is a long game of 100 days. It's too soon to hit that!
• And, we all know that Mecole, who is called MeMe in the house, says ... those maths just ain't mathing!
• Cirie and Izzy decided to sleep on it and tell everyone in the morning that the plan is off.
• Instead, they told everyone ... including Reilly ... before bed.
• When they talked to Hisam, not telling him of the flip or the flop either, he told them how happy he was to have people around him he could trust.
• He also spoke of a fake alliance he set up with Blue and Jag.
• So, the plan is back to evicting Reilly this week.
• Everyone is onto Hisam issues, though. The target on his back really couldn't get much bigger.
• While his interrogations were fun to watch, he became the poster boy for HOHitis.
• One thing this mess did was getting some who hadn't talked to each other talking.
• Of course, things may change by tomorrow.
• Laters!

We never liked that plan anyway.

We'll sleep on it then tell everyone it's changed.

I said the MATH ISN'T MATHING!

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Aug. 15

 

Is it a throuple?

Before we get started, I'd like to mention that I've been putting tons of hours so far into this season's coverage plus I still have ongoing medical issues and bills from my hospital and nursing home stays last year. I do have a Buy Me a Coffee and PayPal donations links on the sidebar. If you would be so kind, it would definitely be appreciated. Merci!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of It's Not Even Waffle Wednesday:

• Okay, it's only Tuesday.
• A lot has changed since yesterday.
• A lot could change by Thursday.
• However, at this moment in time, Cirie is (as is her thang) changing the tide.
• It turns out that Hisam had a meeting with Jag and Blue. They formed a new alliance.
• This is without Hisam knowing what we all know about the plan to flip.
• When Cirie asked Jag about it, she asked if they had a name for the alliance.
• Jag said Hisam said they needed one.'
• Cirie is really irked that Hisam's new plans don't include her, Izzy or Felicia.
• Hisam went and told only Mecole about the new alliance, not Cirie or Felicia or anyone else in their alliance.
• Oh my. He claimed it was because they're Professors.
• Hmm.
• Izzy, Cirie, Matt and Reilly met up.
• Izzy claims it's better to work with sloppy (Reilly) than it is to work with unhinged (Hisam).
• Well, we know Izzy knows sloppy and unhinged! She wrote the book on it.
• Of course, Izzy didn't say that to Matt and Reilly.
• The four agreed to work together with Reilly supposed to be still acting like she's desperate and expecting to leave.
• No one is letting Red in on the new boot Cameron plan as he is closest to Cameron.
• They are working on wanting his vote to be the only one to keep Cameron.
• Or, letting him know last minute for a unanimous blindside.
• I don't care for unanimous house votes. But I certainly do like a good blindside!
• After they spoke to Mecole, she's still not jumping for joy about the plan but wants to vote with the majority.
• I'm sure the maths still aren't really mathing for her. But maybe it's more calculusing.
• Bowie wasn't initially in the plan. But since told, she will go along with it.
• Jared and Cory don't seem totally in on it.
• But Jared will do Mom's bidding and Cory will follow.
• Jared did tell Izzy that Jag and Blue are playing them.
• But we know Moms.
• Cory seems to be of the mind of "as long as it's not me."
  
• He doesn't like Cameron anyway although he's a bit leery of Reilly's crew. He will vote with the majority.
• Meanwhile, while looking at the Memory Wall, a comment was made by Jared to Felicia about how much he looks like her -- cheekbones, dimples. Felicia said looks like she could be his mother.
• Bwahaha! Then Denzel must be his uncle!
• Cirie told Izzy that if they do end up having a meeting with Hisam, she (Izzy) needs to take a seat and let her (Cirie) do the talking.
• Also, there's a pneumatic tube thing going on with four message deliveries today.
• I don't understand that one.
• One message was Cirie #17, one was about the HumiliVerse, two about the Nether Region.
• Hmm. Don't ask me. My crystal ball says UNCLEAR.
• So, right now the plan is Reilly stays, Cameron goes and we will have a SHOW to see Thursday!
• That is, unless it changes tomorrow.
• Laters!

Incognito couple?

Trying to channel his inner Ian.

Maths not mathing or are they?

Interesting camera angle for sure.

Thinks she has America's Vote!

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - Aug. 15

 

What? Izzy lost her animation? Nah, never.

Good morning! What's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Flipflopping Foolishness?

Well, I don't normally do this, but this might explain things in a nutshell --

math aint mathing #bb25 part 2 pic.twitter.com/riEhvJeHcx

— BB Lion🦁 (@BBLionOteV) August 15, 2023

• It's basically been a night of flipflopping with Izzy and Cirie.
• One minute they go with the idea of voting out Reilly, the next they want Cameron out.
• Apparently Hisam's veto speech was bad enough that the whole house -- both sides -- want him out sooner rather than later.
• Most are thinking that chance is next week as he cannot compete for HOH this week.
• Hisam himself must think he crossed a line as he has been apologizing to everyone.
• Cory has been fueling the Get Cameron Out bit by telling Cirie and Izzy that Hisam mentioned their names.
• Cory thinks he has a final two with Jared.
• We all know Jared's final two.
• Mecole has turned time alone in the storage room into live feeds gold as she rants in there.
• She thinks Izzy and Cirie are playing emotionally.
• And yes, they are indeed.
• I can't help but think Cirie is wiser than to believe that if they keep Reilly and Reilly and her minions get Hisam out next week, they aren't going to turn on their side.
• Sure, I do think if Reilly had her way, Cirie and Felicia would be the last of that side picked off, but ...!
• Meanwhile, as creepy as Cameron can be, he is a number for their side. I think Red can keep him in line.
• Oh, I don't know.
• It's chaos.

Gotta love Jag's color coordinating turbans.

These are not normal people.

Cirie tells Matt everyone loves him.

BB25: Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting Over - Aug. 14

 

It was a tense time ...

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Blasting Adoptable Pets Feed Block Music:

• Yeah, turn that stuff DOWN, BB Production!
• The Veto Meeting was held today, blocked to the live feeds, of course.
• And with deafening blaring theme music.
• It went down result-wise as expected -- Hisam did not use the veto and Cameron/Reilly remain on the block.
• What most didn't expect, nor did it go over well, was that Hisam apparently was needlessly cruel in his speech declaring Reilly the target.
• Cirie feels that he kicked Reilly while she was already down.
• With the exception of Cameron, all seemed a bit set aback by Hisam's harsh treatment of Reilly.
• That just makes the target on Hisam, even from his own alliance, that much bigger.
• I do think most, perhaps everyone except Matt, will cave in and vote out Reilly.
• Sure, NOW Hisam apologizes to her and tells her that it was never his intent to be unkind. @@
• I personally would rather Reilly stay over Cameron.
• But they don't ask me what to do!

On his hair alone, I would vote him out.

Reading the Bible

He thinks they can't do without him.

BB25: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday - Aug. 14

 

How would he play on his own?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Long Feed Blocks:

• The mess continues to get messier.
• Jared thinks Cirie is playing too hard and fast. After all, Survivor would be half over by now yet BB has just started.
• Cirie went into a deal with Jag and Reilly.
• Or she didn't.
• Hisam's game of "integrity, inclusivity and trust" is rubbing his own people the wrong way.
• Like Reilly before him, he has developed a severe case of HOHitis.
• Izzy, not one to want to "obey" any man, is really irked at him. She feels he is using his principles as a weapon.
• She thinks he doesn't even give Mecole or Bowie a moment to talk before shutting them down.
• No respect!
• Jag and Reilly tried to make a deal with the devil, er ... Cirie
• Actually, Cirie would prefer Reilly stay over Cameron. But if voting to keep her will put her in a spot, nope.
• The Professors had a party with Hisam's HOH wine -- the first alcohol imbibing I've seen this season.
• Hisam is so good at judging other people that he should realize the tide is changing in the way they are thinking of him.
• Jared thinks it's too soon for Cirie to target Hisam. They have a lot of days left to play and he will be a larger target than them.
• Jared, on a personal level, is worried about Matt and how Matt pretty much only talks to Reilly and Jag.
• Cory talked to us.
• Or to himself.
• He is really clicking with Jared but feels it would be dangerous for Jared to go to the end -- he's too good a player.
• Cory still doesn't see the family resemblance between Jared and Cirie.
• While the Reilly side of the house has definitely imploded, I see cracks appearing on the Professor side.
• No one else went to the Nether Region after Bowie returned.
• We don't know what consequences Bowie has.
• Jared and Cory call others "bro" and "dude" too much regardless of gender.
• Yeah, that last one is my personal irk.
• Anyway, it still looks like Hisam will not use the veto and that Reilly will be out the door on Thursday.
• Veto Meeting later today.
• Laters!

On a side note -- I'm so old. (How old are you?) I'm so old that I recognized the houses in last night's episode. The one on the left was the set of the last Douglas family home in My Three Sons. So the BB hamsters never made it off the lot.

What if you gave a party and no one had fun?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BB25: Veto Comp is FINALLY Over! - Aug. 13

 

Is it the cast of That '70s Show?

Here's a rather brief update of Veto Comp Day House Happenings:

• The Veto players picks were done.
• We have Hisam, Reilly and Cameron plus Matt, Blue and America.
• From what they have said -- Hisam and Cameron both got Houseguest Choice chips.
• Hisam chose Matt (to put that loyalty to the test, I guess) and, to everyone's surprise in the house, Cameron chose Blue. They all thought he would choose Red.
• I could make a political joke about that, but I won't.
• Jag is safe from nomination because of his Nether Region trip but seems to have lost his vote.
• Not sure what will befall Jared and Bowie Jane as consequences for their Nether Region trips.
• I haven't seen Bowie Jane return as of pre-comp.
• The ScrambleVerse light is on in the house.
• America told Reilly who told Blue and Jag that Hisam said they have nothing without Reilly. Now, that was just after she agreed to work with Hisam. Okaaay. I don't think that was what he meant by work with him!
• The feeds went down long ago for the comp. I'm just waiting on a winner here.
• And waiting.
• And waiting.
• The feeds went down around 5:20ish PM my time (EDT).
• I gave up and went to bed thinking the hamsters will surely be sleeping when the feeds return.
• I had the live feeds open with the theme music playing figuring I would wake up when I heard voices.
• Nope.
• While I will say I wasn't in bed a full night worth, the live feeds are STILL down at going for 11AM here on the east coast!
• 12:18PM ET at the feeds return. Then go away again.
• We had Hisam and Felicia talking about the Nether Region.
• They obviously had gone to bed and now were awake.
• Jag is talking to Reilly and Matt about working from now on with Cirie, Felicia and Izzy to flip the house.
• Hmm.
• Bowie is back. The yard is open.
• Hisam won the veto.

The return of the live feeds ... after 18 hours.

Has he changed his secondary target?

When you're Blue ... putting on the Ritz?

BB25: Live Feeds Still Down Bulletin - Aug. 13

 I am not ignoring you. The live feeds went down for the Veto competition yesterday at around 5:20PM ET and are still down as I post this around 10:30AM ET.

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - Aug. 12

 

How is Cameron seeing Denzel Washington?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Adoptable Animals:

• Cameron was telling Jared (of all people) he's sure that Felicia is Denzel Washington's sister -- the looks, the mannerisms, a dead ringer for Denzel!
• Bwahaha! 
• To me, her only likeness to Denzel might be skin tone. Even there, it's not a match.
• And, he was saying this to Jared -- who actually looks so much like his mother -- and Cirie is right in the house with them!
• Cameron did make one right observation about Cirie, though. He recognized her as being on the show Traitors. I don't watch that one. He didn't seem to know she won that show, though.
• And Cirie didn't tell him.
• Jag returned from his Nether Region trip and he sent Bowie Jane there.
• Due to his time gone, he was safe from being nominated.
• But we know from Hisam's talk with him, he was safe anyway even though Jared sent him there supposedly for his safety.
• Apparently, the ones going there are forbidden to talk anything real about it.
• Jag told stories of a gorgon chasing him. Yeah, right.
• I personally think the Nether Region is a room off that hallway to the Have Not Room.
• I could be wrong.
• Jag seems to think there will be some sort of consequence for his safety from being nominated. Hmm.
• Upon his return, Jag and Blue made Jag's second final two pact. He made one days ago with Reilly.
• Jumping a sinking ship? Maybe.
• Cirie would still rather Cameron go. Hmm ... she usually gets her way. We will see.
• Reilly is in a spot. So far, she isn't crying as much as during her HOH reign. 
• She feels if she wins veto, Matt will be put up in her place.
• She doesn't seem to realize what most of us know -- if the noms become Matt and Cameron, Cameron would go.
• Jared and Hisam talked a lot about the HOH comp. It does sound like it's going to be fun to watch tomorrow night.
• Jared only lost right at the end when he chose the wrong door. 
• It's just as good that he lost. An HOH win for Jared would have him showing his cards.
• The POV comp will be held today.
• When I know, you'll know.
• Laters!

"Dude, I swear she's Denzel's sister!"

How I feel watching the live feeds.

Scared Matt will go if the veto is used.

Jag now has a second final two pact.

America is playing rather quietly.

BB25: Live Feeds, Nominations - Aug. 11

 

They finally have the Memory Wall

This is going to be short and maybe not so sweet. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hamster Hisam HOH:

• As he all but blatantly told them, Hisam nominated Reilly and Cameron for eviction.
• He is right now telling Jared that if Reilly wins HOH, he will replace her with Matt. Cameron would be the secondary target.
• With Cameron, Hisam told him he was thinking of putting him up as a pawn with Reilly.
• With his Reilly interrogation -- which was some sort of mix between therapist and Wicklander-Zulawski interview techniques (which I am actually certified in but that's another story) -- Hisam pretty much told her he was going to probably nominate her.
• He told her to win the veto and they can move forward and work together.
• Matt promised Hisam that if he wins veto he will not use it to save Reilly.
• And there they are.
• In other news, the Memory Wall showed up during a feeds block. Luke isn't on it at all, Kirsten is greyed-out and Jared/Cirie are featured apart from each other.
• Jared returned from the Nether Region and chose to save Jag from nomination by sending him there.
• Can I rest now?

Reilly and Hisam hug after he said she's his target.

BB25: Interrogations Continue, Jared Back - Aug. 11

 

The feeds returned. It was NOT Nominations.

• Jared returned to the house. That apparently is the big feeds block.
• Hisam is talking to Mecole now, one of his allies.
• Hisam has NOT interrogated ... er ... talked to Reilly yet.
• But now Jag is gone to the Nether Region and cannot be nominated.
