BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - Aug. 28

 

One is studly, the other is Red.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blue's Clues:

• I know, I know. I didn't tell you whether Red used the veto or not.
• Of course not.
• Why would he?
• So, Blue and Jag remain on the block.
• The yard is open today.
• So, there has been a lot of lazing around.
• There seem to have been a lot of Diary Room calls. I don't know if they have anything to do with the America's vote Power of Invincibility or not.
• Do you think America got America's Vote? Heh.
• Felicia is cooking the supper tonight.
• Red seems to think it's his right to life in the house -- cooking.
• Waffling started rather early this week. Perhaps it's because everyone figured that Red would not use the veto.
• Red and Cameron still want Jag out.
• Cirie and company decided they would prefer Jag stay.
• But then they circled back around a bit to maybe keeping Blue.
• Izzy pointed out that if they keep Blue, they might lose Cory.
• Cirie mentioned that, if Red wins HOH this week, they could use a stronger player in the game. Red and Cameron kept talking about taking out the stronger players.
• Jag, Cory and Matt are considered stronger players even though Matt has yet to win a comp. Cory and Jared have come close to winning.
• Blue, with the exception of her dancing through several hours of the Pressure Cooker, is in no way a comp beast.
• Jag, Cory and Matt would be good competitors to go against Red and Cameron in comps.
• Hmm.
• Then there's that pesky Jared/Blue thing.
• I swear she can't that oblivious to a huge thing like Jared's mother in the house.
• I'm thinking that maybe she thought he was joking and didn't realize he spilled huge beans.
• When Blue was talking to Felicia and Cirie (his moms), she said ... get this ... she would send Jared packing on her HOH.
• Say what?
• Okay, more ammunition to keep Jag.
• The votes they have for sure to keep him: Cirie, Felicia, Mecole, Matt, Cory ... they need one more. 
• Cirie is working on Jared. It's possible that America might go for it.
• They are afraid to ask Bowie as she seems pretty solid with Red/Cameron.
• Of course, it's only Monday.
• Lots of waffles could be served before Thursday.
• Plus, that America's Vote thing will come to play Thursday night.
• Izzy did get one guess right ... she thinks that Bowie is lying about her age and has to be over 40!
• Hmm. I might be wrong about Blue. All of a sudden she's spending more time with Cirie and Felicia, talking about how good Jared was raised and all. Red flags there, Cirie!
• Laters!

What am I doing in this handbasket?

Cirie herself is safe as Red & Cam adore her.

Making friends and influencing people.

Doing much better than his Survivor brother.

Look! No bangs curler!

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - Aug. 28

 

Getting dolled up for the dinner party.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mama Mice:

• Just a reminder, Cameron is the HOH and his henchman Red won the Power of Veto.
• Cameron wants Jag out. 
• He nominated Jag and Blue for eviction, telling Blue she has nothing to worry about.
• Ah, but is that the case?
• Should Blue worry?
• It seems so.
• Cirie told Jared it looks like they might very well switch things up and keep Jag.
• Jared, "But she's my plus one!" and wah-wah-wah.
• Had Cirie known that Jared had already blabbed that his mother was in the house to Blue, never mind that she thinks it's Felicia, in addition to the sloppy sex in a public area ... she'd be leading Jared by the ear away from Blue.
• Right now it appears Blue has no clue what to do with the information about Jared's mother. She doesn't realize it's a big deal.
• In other news, the dinner party that Mecole won was had. She chose Cirie, Felicia and America to attend. She told Cirie that it was between Matt and America and she couldn't think of a good justification to take Matt. With America, she had stayed in the comp so long and hadn't won anything.
• The Cory/America showmance continues.
• As they are not all lust for lust's sake, I don't mind them.
• But, as of late, they have garnered the distrust of just about everyone else in the house.
• Red cooked dinner. He does cook and bake a lot and is apparently good at it.
• I think I'm just a bit squeamish about that much hair around my food prep.
• Matt joked that he would date a blonde but marry a brunette.
• Notice he left redheads out of it!
• The veto meeting is later today.
• I doubt that Red will use the veto.
• Then it will all be down to a campaign game between now and Thursday.

Dolling up wouldn't help him.

Why do they not realize the threat?

Matt's hat and sunglasses are expressive.

C'mon Jag ... you need to stay!

BB25: Pressure Cooker HOH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 27

 

THE SHOW IS DELAYED ON THE EAST COAST DUE TO GOLF. 60 MINUTES IS STARTING AT 7:36PM EDT, SO I EXPECT BB TO START AT 8:36PM EDT. I AM POSTING THIS ON TIME BUT WILL NOT BE UPDATING UNTIL THE SHOW STARTS. HAVE I MENTIONED I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN GOLF?

Good evening! I'm still recovering from covering this one on the live feeds! I will say, spoilers aside, this group of hamsters surprised me and we had ourselves a real pressure cooker, kind of sort of.

That aside ... 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 ... the show is about to start. Previously on segment starts us off.

We get to see Hisam get evicted again and the Kaysar appearance warning the hamsters of the Pressure Cooker. Day 23. They are in there in pitch black -- we have night vision views so we can see. They see nothing. Felicia is in the living room watching the action on the screen in there.

America is thrilled it's the Pressure Cooker. She knows BB's Pressure Cooker was the longest comp in BB history at 14 hours. We get a bit on the many alliances of Cirie.

At 36 minutes, Izzy starts some scat singing bits. They all look painfully bored.

At 1 hour in, Felicia is comfortable snacking and watching. Both her and Cerie have mentioned they don't want Cameron or Red to win. Cameron starts a boring Cameron story. Jared hears something.

Whoa! 1 hour 17 minutes, Jared is out. He gets a card that reads "New Friends." The cover lifts off the enclosure of huge beautiful live snakes! Then the lights go out again. Cirie switched hands and had her shirt sleeve on the button, slipped. She gets a six-pack of beer. Kaysar is announcing the prizes each time.

America talks of her interest in Cory.

Izzy is making noises to throw the others off. At 3 hours 33 minutes, her hand slips as she is having her music in her head dancing her body. She wins a concert. Heavy metal techno club music blasts at them.

In the house, Jared is surly about going out. Izzy is crying. Meanwhile, 5 hours 2 minutes, 6 hours 35 minutes. It goes on. Bowie is out at 8 hours 35 minutes. She wins a pressure cooker for her kitchen. Matt out at 9 hours 40 minutes. He threw it. Matt releases the flies to torment them. (Just to note on the live feeds the flies were all dormant due to the cold in the room. They only lived up later.) 

Red out 10 hours 8 minutes in. He wins a home theater system and a year subscription of Paramount+. Bowie, Matt and Red can now head into the house.

It's down to Cory, Jag, Blue, Mecole, America and Cameron. Cory out, throwing it. He wins Have Not. Must choose two houseguests to join him, old school PB&J. 12 hours 44 minutes and Blue is out. She wins $1,000. 12 hours 50 minutes, Jag snoozed and slipped. His prize is "perfume" that smells of sewage. It wafts into the comp.

Mecole gets attacked by a fly. 13 hours30 minutes and she's out. She wins a dinner party for herself and three houseguests of her choosing. It's down to America and Cameron. Cameron is telling her she's safe. He promises Cory is safe, too. 14 hours 49 minutes, America is out. That's four minutes shy of the BB6 record.

Cameron wins HOH.

The last three come into the house. Cameron gets his key and lots of fake love. He tells us Jag and Blue are dangerous loose ends. Red noticed Izzy didn't seem happy that Cameron won. He doesn't trust her.

Cory and America talk. She tells him she made a deal to protect Cory and herself. Jared and Blue cuddle as they talk with Jag.

Cameron talks to Jag. Jag makes promises. Cameron tells us Jag is the target. He tells Jag that he's the target but it's all about the game. Then he talks to Blue, tells her that he's leveling the playing field by putting her up.

Red still has mistrust in the group as he was left out of the Hisam ouster decision. Now he is leery about Izzy due to her reaction to Cam winning HOH. Backdoor plan? Hmm.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Cameron first nominates Jag, then Blue. He says he loves them both and they are both tremendous multi-faceted players so they can play in the veto.

We got the typical Diary Room bits from Blue and Jag.

BB25: Live Feeds into Sunday - Aug. 27

 

My mother is on the show.

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Loose Lips Sinking Ships:

• First off, my apologies for originally posting that Cameron won the veto yesterday. Felicia and Cirie are to blame. They were saying he won, but apparently meaning that Red won and it might as well have been a Cameron win. Then I saw Red with the necklace.
• But they do have a point. Red winning is a Cameron win.
• The biggest news of the night is that Jared told Blue that his mother is in the house.
• Yep.
• She thinks it's Felicia because he said it. If she just LOOKED, she would see the family resemblance between Cirie and Jared!
• You don't have to be the brightest bulb to be a social influencer.
• Interesting ... Jared is using the fake last name of "Washington." Now, if Felicia is Denzel Washington's sister, it all makes sense!
• Bwahahahaha!
• Of course, I wouldn't think Blue could put two and two together with the name. She probably has no clue who Denzel even is!
• Stupid move on Jared's part, though.
• Remember, Felicia still does not know about Jared and Cirie -- only Izzy knows.
• Red and Cameron talked of their love for and trust in ... Cirie. Yep, both of those country boys have fallen hook, line and sinker for her act.
• BUT neither trust Felicia.
• A pretty solid four as of late is Cirie, Izzy, Felicia and Matt.
• After a night of being told this one said this and that one said that, the four decided that they should work to keep Jag and get Blue out.
• Now, had Cirie known about Jared's big mouth, she would have been even more determined to get Blue gone.
• There was also a rather interesting but kind of predictable loose lips incident.
• Predictable because it involved The Unreliables. You know, that "fake" alliance formed by Cory, Jag and America.
• "Can you keep this confidential?" "Nope, I'm an Unreliable! It's in the name!"
• Jag told Cirie of information which came to him via America via Cory.
• Now Cirie and company know that neither of those two can be trusted.
• While telling this might have played a small role in the changeover to keeping Jag over Blue, it isn't really the major reason.
• Due to the Jared/Blue showmance, both of them are a liability to the alliance.
• Jared without Blue would be forced to play the game and not be distracted by a showmance.
• To get Blue out of the door Cirie, Izzy, Felicia and Matt need one more vote. They can't depend on America and Cory. 
• So, they would need to turn either Jared or Bowie.
• Yep, issues are there. Bowie is getting closer and closer to Red and Cameron. Can she be trusted? 
• Oh, plus ... Felicia and Cirie really really don't like her.
• How about Jared? Lose Blue before jury? So, he couldn't even have a jury love bed with her if he goes? 
• Mama would have to do a lot of convincing to get him to give his showmance the boot.
• I personally would prefer Jag kept rather than Blue.
• But they never ask my opinion on these things.

Cory said that America said that Jared said ...

What should Mama Cirie do?

A two for one deal

Cory could be throwing himself under the bus.

Is anyone saying my name?

Trying to win Felicia over.

BB25: Live Feeds, PoV Comp Saturday - Aug. 26

 

Mama's Boy

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

• Remember, Cam knows what he's doing.
• The Have Nots are indeed eating PB&J this week as a throwback to early seasons. To me, that would be the week I volunteer. 
• Now I wish the old food comps would return!
• The veto picks went down this morning. In addition to Cameron, Jag and Blue -- it's Red, Mecole and Jared.
• Cameron got Houseguest Choice and chose his best bromance bud Red. Blue actually drew Jared's chip from the bag.
• Izzy is dizzy because she's heard that if either of the nominees come off the block, she'll be the renom. 
• She's even suspicious about Cam choosing her to host the comp.
• Me? I'd prefer Jag win veto, come off the block, anyone else go up and Blue goes home.
• Of the two, Jag is Cameron's target.
• Jag is my blog pool hamster. I will admit that me drawing any player in my own blog pool means that person is doomed. Sorry, Jag. 
• Matt gave up his secret, although I would think they would all assume he could -- he told Jared he can read lips.
• He also told Jared that Cameron, Red and Bowie are working together they want him to work with them.
• But, Matt now has a soft spot for Cirie and I doubt that will change.
• Cameron thinks this week is supposed to be fun and chill.
• Um. Maybe for him, but no week is all fun and chill when people go on the block and get the boot. If that were the case, there would be no point to the show.
• The feeds were blocked at around 4PM EDT for the comp and right now I'm just waiting them out so I can post the winner.
• And waiting.
• And waiting.
• At a bit after 9PM EDT, the feeds came back.
• Cameron won veto.
• Sigh.
• Apparently, Jag ALMOST won but they weren't playing horseshoes.
• UPDATE: It was RED who won the veto, not Cameron.
• When the feeds returned after the comp, Cirie and company were saying Cameron won. However, they apparently were being sarcastic because they know whatever Cameron wants Red will do.
• But Red won the veto, not Cameron.

Loyal to Cirie now?

Do not put huge rollers in their hair.

She thinks she's such an influencer

Uh-oh. Blue has been an influence!

BB25: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - Aug. 25

 

If you're Blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.

Due to my foolishness in blogging for more than 15 hours straight through the live show and the Pressure Cooker comp, this one is going to be a bit abbreviated. Here's a bit of what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Up a Long Time Loons:

• As you know from my HOH comp post, Cameron won HOH when all was said and done.
• He's far from a favorite of mine, but I have to give him credit for hanging in there so long. He really, really wanted a photo (or more) of his little girl. And, he got them, breaking down into sobs after the others left his HOH reveal. I felt touched.
• But then I snapped back and came to reality!
• Reality TV, that is!
• I'm really surprised Mecole didn't win. As I watched the comp, she was the most rock solid until a fly attacked her and she let go of the button. At least, that's what it looked like happened to me.
• The prizes/bad schtuff for the comp that I know went like this: Jared unveiled the snakes, Cirie got a six-pack of beer, Izzy opened up the "music" which blared at the comp, Jag got rotten smelling perfume he has to spray, Blue got $1,000, Red got a home theater and year of Paramount+, America got a dinner party with three houseguests, Cory got Have Not with two hamsters of his choice (Bowie and Izzy volunteered), Matt got to open the box with flies to torment the comp -- they appeared dead, but it was just due to the cold and they came to life to torment, Bowie got a pressure cooker.
• I'm not sure what the others got.
• There was talk of the Have Nots having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (like the old pre-slop days) but I don't know if they were just saying it or if it will happen.
• Cameron nominated Jag and Blue with a backdoor plan of Izzy if needed.
• And the band played on ...
• Laters!

I just want to make jury.

Matching Cam's nominee stats.

Let me tell you a story about HOH ...

Looks like the Wicked Witch feets!

BB25: Live Feeds Pressure Cooker HOH Comp Updates - Aug. 24

 

The BB6 Pressure Cooker

Welcome everyone! Once the live feeds get going, I will constantly be updating this post with screen caps and commentary. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! Please join in with your own observations and be a part of the party we'll be having after hours in the comments section! Bring snacks and adult beverages, perhaps even coffee if the BB25 hamsters have any staying power.

All the times I post will be East Coast times. Any times on my screen caps are also EDT. Rules are: Finger on button, no sitting, no kneeling, can squat, no bathroom breaks, must wait for three to be eliminated to leave the enclosure, take numbered card when eliminated, last one remaining is the new HOH.

10:07PM no feeds yet.

10:19PM Feeds are on, all still in.

10:22PM - Felicia is in the house gathering snacks. It seems she is not allowed in the enclosure?

Cameron has one foot up on the bar. Hmm. 

Jared is doing the one foot up thing, too.

They are doing a whistle scat bit.

Cam looks like a clown without his hat on!

10:30PM - Looks like Felicia is preparing some sort of feast inside the kitchen. All still in.

Matt says he's in his own world.

10:35PM - Matt says he's in his own world. They can't see anything in the dark. We know he can't read lips in the dark. He can only hear if someone, especially on his left, speaks loudly.

10:39PM - All feeds go to Felicia in the kitchen for a minute. She's sorting all kinds of bags of food.

10:42PM - Cameron is NOT bald on top. They showed a close-up. It's a bandana.

10:51PM - Felicia is eating in the living room. The monitor is showing her the comp.

10:57PM - At about the one hour mark, all still in it. All bored. I'm bored. So far, nothing showering on them or anything. All just standing there holding their buttons down. No talking even for a while.

11:00PM - Into a quieter scat rhythm. Finally talking. Cirie took her hood down. They think they are at about 20 minutes. Felicia looks bored. Cory thinks Kaysar won the BB6 one. He did tell them the 14 hours right, though.

11:11PM - The a/c is on. Felicia is in the storage room. The light thing in the middle is swinging but they can't see it. Cam decides to tell a story. I will not bore people with the story.

11:15PM - They keep hearing something in the wall. They dismiss it and Cam's boring story continues. Felicia is back in the living room. I feel bad for both Matt and her in this comp. Heck, right now I feel bad for me. All feeds on Felicia now. She's talking to herself -- four more to jury.

11:18PM - Feeds go to adoptable animals. Prior to that it looked like Felicia was about to clean the shower.

11:30PM - Feeds still down. Maybe production didn't like Cam's boring story.

11:31PM - Feeds return - all four on Felicia watching the comp. Her screen is lighter than ours. Looks like all still in but hard to tell.

11:33PM - Wait. Feeds on comp now. Someone is out ... Cirie is out! Looks like Jared is out, too. It's lighter in there now. I'm also lightening the screen caps I post.

Cirie and Jared out when feeds came back on.

11:41PM - All feeds cut to Felicia. Ack, she left the living room and I can't watch on her screen!

11:42PM - Feeds blocked momentarily. Return. All still in except Jared and Cirie. We don't know which one went out first as the feeds were blocked when they were eliminated.

11:45PM - Cirie tells America not to use her shirt under her hand -- "That's what happened to me."

11:58PM - Two hours. Cirie, Jared out of the comp, all others remain. Felicia still snacking watching them on the living room monitor. She's making me feel all kinds of snacky. The lights just went out again.

12:00AM - Cold blasts of air are hitting them.

Live snakes in the middle. 

12:08AM - Izzy started making noises the scare them, then the cold air blasted a few times on them. Bowie can't stay still and is annoying me.

12:27AM - 2 1/2 hours in. No one out of the comp except Cirie and Jared -- they both seem very cold. Izzy bopping to a song in her head which is more entertaining than Bowie's continued movements. Red looks asleep while squatting. Cameron, Cory, Jag and Mecole look like rock solid. Blue looks a bit iffy at times as does America. Matt looks sleepy.

12:37AM - Lights back on.

Snakes with the lights on.

12:53AM - Cam starts another story, this one about Cory. I hope it's better than the last story. Short story, good. Now Cory is telling a story.

12:57AM - Three hour mark. Into a feeds block with the WBRB screen, not animals. All in the comp still except Cirie and Jared. None of the snakes are venomous. BB should set them loose. That would stop the boredom that Cam mentioned just before the feeds block.

1:01AM - Feeds returned. No one new out of the comp. Lights still on.

1:27AM - Three and a half hours in. No one new out of the comp. I swear Mecole hasn't moved at all except for her head. Red is standing but still looks asleep. BB needs to liven this group up!

1:37AM - In the dark again. Then into a feeds block without animals.

1:41AM - Feeds back. No changes, still in the dark. Cold air blasts a minute later. We need ACTION!

1:54AM - Feeds cut at near the four hour mark, then return almost immediately. Izzy out while bopping right before the feed cut again!

1:59AM - Four hour mark. Izzy, Cirie and Jared (the Fields family minus adopted son Matt) out. Feeds still blocked.

2:02AM - Feeds came back for about a minute. Izzy, Cirie, and Jared gone from the room. Kaysar was on a screen in the room. Then strobe lights started and odd not music noise. It's kind of like that techno club music a bit ... or an MRI with echoes.

2:06AM - The out of the comp three are in the house with Felicia.

2:11AM - Lights came back on with a spotlight on the snake enclosure. "Music" still playing. In the house Jared is telling Cirie and Izzy that Hisam told him to never trust Cirie and Felicia.

2:14AM - Music stopped and all feeds went to the house for a moment, then back to the comp.

2:24AM - Now all four feeds on the house hamsters. The are in the living room, the rest are still in the comp.

2:25AM - Feeds back to the comp, lights still on. The house discussion is largely about not trusting Bowie Jane. Cirie is ticked at Jared not sharing intel from others concerning them in a timely manner.

3:15AM - Gah. My internet went down. All still in the comp except for Cirie, Jared and Izzy.

Blogger issues! Trouble updating. Check comments if no recent updates here.

3:56AM - Six hours in. All still in the comp except for Cirie, Jared and Izzy.

More after the page break --

BB25: Live Eviction Show Live Blogged Blog Party - Aug. 24

 

Good evening! Tonight either Hisam or Cameron will get the boot! I'm sure that the show editing will try to deceive us ... as it always does. Will there be a blindside? Will the evicted hamster already know his imminent demise? Maybe. I guess we'll see.

CBS Big Brother has announced that the epic return of the 'Pressure Cooker' competition will indeed air on the live feeds. I took a nap and will be posting a constantly updated HOH endurance coverage post for it. Just refresh the blog right after the East Coast show airs (10PM ET, 7PM PT) to catch the post! I doubt we will see a 14-hour comp like we did in BB6. But, again ... we will see!

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. Here is where the blog pool stands going into tonight's show:

Cory - Sharon N, Nickelpeed, Indiana Jane, deaflady

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

America - Andi, Joanne Victoria, Willie J, Caela

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

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

Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

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

Hamster watchers ready?

Oh my, Julie is fluffy, ruffley and flowery tonight. We'll sit through the recap.

We pick up the action after the veto meeting. Julie tells us alliances have crumbled and new ones have formed. Can Hisam handle the truth? Cameron thinks he's safe. Matt knows Hisam was campaigning against him and it will also be revenge for Reilly.

Hisam is feeling hurt. He says he is a king and should fight for himself. Felicia tells him she had an opportunity that she will probably never get again. He feels betrayed and looks confused and hurt. He tells her he's moving through the hurt. He tells us the move is stupid.

Then he talks with Izzy. He tells her he knows Cirie and her both know. Izzy tells him that she feels sick and just did her job to make him feel comfortable. She will not be told what to do and be called a leftover. She tells him that America said he said he was stuck with them.

He tells us it was a mistake and it wasn't his intention to change sides. He does admit to Izzy he was wrong. He tells us he betrayed them and needs to find a way to stay in the game.

Julie hints at a flip before we go into commercial.

Julie tells us Hisam's choices are to seek revenge or seek redemption. He tells us they are his family and he wants to work with them. He will try to earn their forgiveness and trust. He starts making his rounds with Felicia. She tells him he has some time to try to change people's minds. But she tells us "you reap what you sow."

So, the rounds have started. First Izzy. Family, have mercy, forgive me, give me a chance to be better, will let bygones be bygones. Izzy does feel bad. She accepts their apology and he asks for a hug. Then it's on to Cirie. Same talk with her. She asks about revenge. He knows if he stays, he will be the biggest target in the house. Cirie tells us teary-eyed that she has to take it into consideration ... he's redeemable.

Now Felicia, Cirie and Izzy are talking about maybe sending Cameron home instead. They decide to talk to Hisam. Felicia tells him she needs to know he won't come after her. They hug. Izzy suggests a new start. He tells us he is fiercely loyal and fiercely protective, will make sure they are protected and loyal. The flip suggestion is on. The three have to look outside the Professors to make the flip work. They believe him. Cirie says flipping would alienate so many others in the house.

We're heading to the living room.

Cameron - Tells Hisam interesting week. Shout-out. Closer to all the HG, love you.

Hisam - Shout outs, time to reflect. Multiple mistakes. Asking to have kindness, generosity and loyalty. Always on your side.

Votes to evict --

Red - Hisam

Jag - Hisam

Bowie Jane - Hisam

Blue - Hisam

To commercial ...

Matt - Hisam

Cirie - Hisam

America - Hisam

Izzy - Hisam

Cory - Hisam

Jared - Hisam

Mecole - Hisam

Yep, another unanimous vote (with cause this time). Hisam is evicted. Fake hugs all around time. But he does seem a bit sincere, hugs Izzy, Felicia and Cirie a bit more than the others. He goes to the stage with his rather annoying ha-ha-ha-ha laugh. I don't know anyone who actually laughs by going ha-ha-ha. The Scary globe goes  red. Kaysar shows up. Tells them it's their turn for the Pressure Cooker, the ScaryVerse makes it even tougher, good luck, you'll need it.

Interview time. Ha-ha-ha. He thinks he trusted the wrong people. Ha-ha-ha. Julie says his HOH was referred to as a dictatorship. He says he wanted all of them to make it. He's a doctor. Listening to what people had to say, blinded. Julie tells him about Cirie/Jared. He didn't know and says it makes sense ... they look alike. He says good for them, hope they go to the end. He thinks they are doing a good job. Goodbye messages from Cirie, Izzy, Matt, Blue. Matt's wasn't really nice, a three strikes bit but polite. To me, Blue was much more rude than need be.

We will get an America's Vote. Comic-Verse, one hamster gets a super power, top four compete, power is to save one evicted hamster (not ones already out). It will come to fruition next Thursday.

The comp is starting. They are in a large enclosure - "Revenge of the Pressure Cooker" -- finger on button, no sitting, no kneeling, can swat, can only leave box when three are out. They each have to take a numbered card on the way out, some are good, some bad. It's dark and we go to a night vision cam.

BB6 "Pressure cooker" endurance competition for HOH

The first and only time we saw the Pressure Cooker HOH comp was in BB6. It played out on the live feeds.

Well ... guess what?

CBS Big Brother has announced that tonight's Pressure Cooker comp will also be on the live feeds. The downside is that it is slated to start after the East Coast airing of the live eviction show -- 10PM ET/7PM PT

Not to fear! I will take an afternoon nap and I also doubt that the comp will take the 13 hours 53 minutes that the BB6 comp did. The first out, Beau, was near the seven hour mark. Will any BB25 hamsters even make it that long? I will have an HOH Pressure Cooker Comp blog post up and will constantly be updating it with screen caps and the happenings!

Here's some another bit on the Pressure Cooker ... in the video, go to the last segment --

  

BB25: Live Feeds Waffle Wednesday into Thursday - Aug. 23/24

 

Jared is a voice of reason? Oh my.

Gotta love it when Waffle Wednesday lives up to its reputation. Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of A'Waffling We Will Go:

• Okay, two people up on the block.
• Jag and Cameron.
• Thank goodness there aren't three or my head would explode.
• The plan since Felicia won HOH last week was to backdoor Hisam.
• Why? Because he was overbearing and alienated everyone in the house last week during his HOH.
• EVERYONE in the house was in on the plan.
• All went down like clockwork, a well-oiled machine.
• Jag won veto, took himself off the block and Felicia replaced him with Hisam.
• Like clockwork, I say.
• The others in the house all working together. New bonds forming. All striving for a common goal.
• Then ... BAM! The clock was wound too tight! The inner workings all went kaput! There was a trail of destruction everywhere!
• Wait, are Red and Cameron a more powerful duo to work against others?
• Are they gathering allies from the "other side" and planning to overthrow the (now ex) Professors?
• Jared pointed out that if Hisam stays and works with Red, things could be worse than if he goes.
• By Wednesday afternoon, the whole plan to evict Hisam was out the door.
• By Wednesday night, it looks like (once again) the plan is for Hisam himself to go out the door.
• Now, Cory is very leery of Red and Cameron. So, he had been willing to go with keeping Cameron but also is a bit worried about Hisam.
• What to do? What to do?
• As usual this season so far, when Cirie decides something -- that is what they end up doing.
• As I type this up, Cirie is back to the original plan.
• Despite what he said to them, Hisam is not going to play well with people he feels betrayed his trust.
• Also, his new (he thinks) friends would really only want to work with him as a number and a shield. 
• He's sunk.
• It could very well be the last unanimous vote we see for a while.
• Cameron never started campaigning and, for the most part, Hisam wrapped his up.
• In other news, both Cirie and America have mentioned the comp where you stand pushing a button. Both are sure if it comes up, Hisam would win.
• I really don't want to think that BB warned them. But no other group has mentioned that comp in the past several seasons. Hmm ...
• Felicia told Meme that she wants Red targeted next and they (Red and Cameron) had been saying Meme's name.
• Cirie told her that all of a sudden Red is all kinds of strategy, first saying he was targeting Jag. And Jag approached her for the first time this week. She thinks that he is in cahoots (my term, not hers) with Red ... who is now bringing up Meme's name as well.
• Actually, Cirie has heard her name and Izzy's brought up. As in Survivor, that pretty much means she will steer to evict anyone even thinking that.
• Cirie also told Meme that Hisam promised EVERYONE if they voted to keep him that he would fight for them. Both sides of the house, everyone. He promised it as if he was promising each individual. That would be impossible!
• Red mentioned that BB must buy their stuff at the dollar store. Hey, I said that YEARS ago!
• When talking about the food they want, Jag's slogan is "Real cheese for real people!"
• Well, BB is giving us real cheese with these comps this season!
• I have no idea if the Pressure Cooker HOH comp will play out on the live feeds. If it does, I may or may not be up all night.
• UPDATE - Overnight, after I made this post, CBS announced on the show website that the Pressure Cooker HOH comp will play out on the live feeds after the live show airs on the West Coast (10PM PT, 1AM ET)
• But we still have to get through the eviction tonight.
• For all I know, they might have a Thursday waffle after the feeds cut out pre-show. Or maybe even a breakfast waffle.
• But, as I stated before, it's currently back to Hisam being evicted.

One thing which was funny was the scat band they formed.

Meme has more game in her than shows.

The Red/Cam duo has not won a comp yet.

Being a Have Not has exhausted Matt.

Izzy has high highs and angry lows.
