BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - Sept. 4

 

Why does he keep winning comps?

Good morning! Happy Labor Day to all who have the holiday off! For those who work, I hope you're getting some extra compensation for working the holiday. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Despots Dawgs:

• I don't know. Between the puffing that Jared is doing as HOH and the puffing Cameron is doing as the veto winner, it's making my head hurt.
• Jared is claiming no one else but him thought of the scenario of Cam winning the veto.
• Well, duh. The HOH making nominations should always have a plan in place to cover one nominee coming down!
• For someone so sure of his reign, he seems to be waffling a lot on his renom choice.
• Cirie wants him to put Jag up because she's heard a buzz that Jag is working with "the others."
  
• Blue thinks of Jag as her bestie.
• The other names tossed around are America and Bowie.
• Of course, Cam is in his ear to put Izzy up.
• But we know that won't happen.
• Throughout the day and into the night groups of two and three gathered with the pros, cons, personal issues, is Red and Cam really over, you name it.
• When the dust settled, it seems that the renom choice will be Jag.
• Cirie thinks Jag is too popular to keep.
• Hmm. If he's that popular, wouldn't he beat Red?
• How can they tell that Red and Cameron will stay broken up?
• When will Cameron realize that his alliances aren't?
• I expect the veto meeting to be later today.
• Then it's forever and a day until eviction.
• How many waffles can we take?

Jared over Jag or not?

A handshake is as good as a kiss?

Name one redeeming feature of this man!

Izzy isn't as Izzy as she was.

The bromance is so over.

BB25: HoH Comp Show Blog Party - Sept. 3

 

Good evening! I guess we can totally forget the idea of BB ever having the HOH comp on the Thursday live show ever again. They have made it the Sunday show regular fodder. I guess that does give them something better than the filler stuff they used to show on Sunday nights. Unfortunately, they also block the feeds for the comp. Woe is us. 

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!

For a change, we're starting on time on a Sunday night. As per usual, I'm sitting out through the "Previously on."

All will compete for HOH. We pick up the action just after Jag stays. Matt is happy he's keeping two of his allies -- Blue and Jag. Matt tells Jag ahead of the eviction about the power and that he will be using it. 

Red isn't thrilled that Jag is back in the house. He's a big competitor. Cirie is acting surprised but knew all along. America and Izzy think Matt may have won the power. Izzy really wants to win HOH and nominate Cameron and Red.

Jared tells us Cirie gave him the information about Matt winning and using the power before the vote. So, Jared goes and talks to Jag. Jag is wondering where Jared got the information. Now Cirie is ticked at Jared for his blabbing. She confronts him. Jag is now worried about Cirie. Can he trust her? Meanwhile, Jared is trying to make Jag feel bad. 

The backyard is all done up with hearts. There are two podiums with ABC buttons. Cameron and Jared stand at them by random draw, the rest is an audience setting. BB Odd Couples comp, scramble verse is different unexpected pairings. An image will appear, hit correct button, winner chooses next two to play.

Cameron eliminated. Jared picks Red and Bowie to face off. Bowie out. Red selects Izzy and Jag. Jag eliminated. Izzy picks Red and America. Red was wrong, eliminated. America chooses Mecole and Matt. Matt eliminated. She chooses Cory and Blue. Blue right, Cory out. Blue chooses Mecole and Izzy. Mecole wrong. Izzy chooses America and Blue.

America is eliminated. Blue chooses Cirie and Felicia. Felicia wrong and out. Cirie chooses Izzy and Blue. Blue eliminated. She chooses Cirie and Jared. Cirie eliminated. It's down to Izzy and Jared. Izzy wrong.

JARED is the new HOH. He tells us he's such a competitor. Yeah, right.

Jared is acting like a kid about winning. Red and Cameron talk. Red thinks they will be nominated. Cirie, in the storage room, reminds Jared not to turn into Hisam. Izzy and Cirie both celebrate with him. Cirie tells us she will be happy with whatever decision Jared makes ... as long as it's Cameron. He told her Cameron, Red and Bowie were his thoughts.

Blue talks to Jag. He's her number one. She's nervous about Jared due to his closeness to Cirie and Felicia. Jag knows that Cirie told Jared about the power and his trust in her is diminished.

Felicia has dropped her mic three days in a row. (Not to mention her fall into the hot tub.) This is old footage!

Cory and America are cuddled in the hammock. America tells him she would put Cirie, Felicia or Izzy on the block if she won HOH. She doesn't know why everyone is playing their game. They don't even talk to her. Cory tells her if they do something bold, they could be expendable. He doesn't want America to get him in trouble.

Jared is talking to Cameron in the HOH. Jared asks him about sitting next to Red. Cameron suggests America sitting next to Red. Cameron says he won't fight for Red. Jared thought Cam throwing Red under the bus is a red flag about Cameron.

The Jared talks to Red. Jared tells Red he's leaning towards putting Cam on the block. Red thinks he will be a pawn. Jared tells him that people trust him more than Cam. He says Cameron will be his target. Jared wants Red to realize Cam is not a loyal person.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Jared nominates Red, then Cameron. Red is emotional about it, Cameron is cocky about it.

BB25: Live Feeds into Sunday - Sept. 3

I'm a BB genius. Just ask me. I'll tell you.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Inflated Egos:

• Jared is still on his not trusting America kick and wanting her out.
• Cameron is on his own separate America is bad for the game kick.
• Since Cam has a tiny veto, the comp had to be the one stacking tiny things with tweezers.
• The tiny veto would explain why I didn't see anyone wearing the veto necklace when the feeds returned after the comp yesterday.
• Cirie told Jared to chill about America while Jared got more and more wound up about wanting her out.
• Meanwhile, America and Jag are putting together the puzzle of various alliances.
• Cory is willing to go to war to defend America. He tells her he will tell his secret (Survivor brother) to Cirie, Izzy and Felicia to get the heat off of her.
• America had her talk with Jared in the HOH room. 
• There were no fisticuffs.
• When all was said and done, Jared decided to turn his attention to Bowie Jane because she would be the easiest nomination.
• Cory did go ahead and told Jared about his brother being on Survivor. No huge reaction. Jared did ask if it was a Cirie season.
• Why he told him, I'm really not sure. Maybe to divert attention away from America being nominated? Cory has been off the rails about the way Cameron has talked about and treated America. 
• Cameron is still trying to get Izzy in as the renom.
• Cameron went as far as to tell Jared that there was a power three with Cirie as president, Felicia VP and Izzy defense.
• While Izzy can annoy the Fields family, she's a part of the Fields family. She will not go up on the block under a Fields family watch.
• Red has been going around trying to clear his name in connection to Cameron -- saying they were only final two because an early friendship formed, how he never said anything bad about America, how his bromance with Cam is over ...
• Then Felicia claimed Jag is the second snake below Cameron and should go. Bowie, Red and Cirie agreed.
• The Veto Meeting isn't until tomorrow.
• The revolving door of renom possibilities will keep revolving until then.

But ... but ... Cam. We're the Chillers!

What did BB do to Mecole?!?!

She was so pretty before BB got to her.

Cory will defend her to the end.

Waste a power just to send him out again?

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday Afternoon, PoV Winner - Sept. 2

 

I can only shake my head at Jared.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Froot Loop Dinguses:

• Now, this should have been a simple week.
• But, no. If they don't have chaos, they apparently have no clue what to do.
• First off, we have Jag, Cory and America wanting to quietly create an uprising against the powers that be.
• Jag told Matt about that one.
• Then, with Cameron and Red on the block, the latter all teary eyed and miserable about it, the veto players were chosen.
• Playing veto, we have Jared, Red, Cameron with America, Matt and Felicia. Blue will host.
• Jared is freaking out to Cory about America playing veto. He's sure she always throws comps -- yeah, that's how she lasted over 13 hours in the Pressure Cooker while he was first out at an hour and something. 
• He thinks she will throw it and Cameron might win! Oh noes!
• If he's that worried about it, he should be determined he himself will win.
• And he needn't go off on Cory about her.
• He even called America a slur used towards people with diminished mental capacity.
• Nope, she's a heck of a lot brighter than Jared. We're talking Brown University versus a high school education. Not that I make assumptions about smarts with college backgrounds. But Jared does not come off as Mr. Intelligent to me and to be casting slurs about America? So out of pocket on that one.
• Anyone Jared can complain to about America, he does. 
• Last night he got all kinda comfy talking with Cameron in the HOH room. I honestly think if Cirie weren't in the game, Cameron would be Jared's main man in the house. They seem to think alike on a lot of matters. I don't find that a good thing.
• Cirie is doing up Cameron, Red and Matt's hair for the comp. Oh my.
• As I write this up, the feeds are blocked for the veto comp.
• I will get the winner's name and hopefully a screen cap of the necklace and then post this.
• It could be hours.
• I have the feeds minimized with the theme music low. Once the music stops and I hear voices, I know they're back.
• Uh-oh ... sounds like Cameron won the Power of Veto!
• Yep, it's Cameron.
• Cirie wants to get Cam to save Red with the veto (remember, they have Cam convinced that he's a pawn) because it's Red's birthday and he's all kinds of depressed and such. Then, Jag would go up in Red's place and go home (like he should have gone last week).
• But in actuality, they really just want Cam to save Red with the veto so that Cam himself remains on the block and gets voted out.

The more they make her the enemy,
the more she will be the enemy.

Trusts Cirie but hasn't reported back on all.

I like what Cirie did to his hair.

BB25: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - Sept. 1

 

Cirie comforts a teary nominee.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wayward Boys and Girls:

• As expected, Jared put Red and Cameron on the block.
• The backup renomination if needed would be Bowie Jane or America.
• Matt would like it to be America.
• Bowie Jane just wants to make it to jury. After all, she has her house rented out. She needs a place to stay.
• Red is in tears even though he has been told that Cameron is the target.
• Mama Cirie was there to comfort him.
• Meanwhile, Cameron thinks that he's the pawn.
• Jag told Matt he can't trust Cirie.
• Matt trusts Cirie but not enough to tell her that Jag, Blue and America all have told him not to trust her.
• Jared continues to talk way too much.
• He's trying to convince Cameron that he's his best bud in the world.
• That's about it for now.
• Sort and sweet.
• I can't take listening to Jared any longer.
• Laters.

Everyone trusts Matt

A new showmance! Or not.

Will the walls come crashing down?

I wouldn't mind these two out!

Izzy Izzy Izzy

BB25: Live Feeds Into Friday - Sept. 1

 

Yeah, I'm a BB legend now!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Sand Through the Hour Glass:

• You know that the new HOH winner is Jared.
• You also know the comp couldn't be a spelling bee.
• Nope. It was one of those knockout types of competitions. You know the kind I mean. It pits two contestants against each other each round and they choose the next two to compete.
• In a way, it tells a lot about the hierarchy of the house, who is probably a target and who might be liked dependent on the match-ups.
• It was done like speed dating.
• The first three out were Red, Cameron and Bowie Jane.
• No, we did not see the comp on the live feeds. 
• But they all have loose lips and those ships are going down!
• Cirie and Matt celebrated the success of using the power. Cirie told Matt no one could know he used it. Let them think Jag saved himself.
• Cirie told Matt that the only one who might suspect he had/used it is Cory.
• But Cirie told Jared that Matt was one of the four. Later Matt told him he had it and used it.
• Matt told Jag about it.
• How long will it be before the whole Fields Family is in the know?
• Meanwhile, there seems to be a revolutionary movement afoot.
• All of a sudden, Blue has game.
• Where has she been hiding it?
• Remember, her best bud -- not her boytoy -- is Jag. She told Jag that it looks like Cirie and company were trying to set America up for the blame about the house vote and lying to him.
• She thinks that she, Jag and America could work together with a Tiffany type Plus One thing with Jared, Matt and Cory to target the evil empire in the house. Is she forgetting Jared has his mother there?
• But the immediate plan Cirie/Matt discussed was to target Cameron, put Red and Cam on the block.
• Cameron already told Jared that he expected to go up as a pawn against Red.
• Yep, he's already ready to jump ship from his bromance buddy.
• Jared also talked the same Cam/Red plan with Cirie and Matt.
• I think we are in for another week of chaotic shenanigans, though. There is some trouble waiting in the wings, but it might not be implemented until the next HOH.
• Oh? Did Jared's HOH have photos of his mother?
• Of course not. He got photos of his dogs and a letter from his brother.
• He made several jokes about things like "if the HOH room is rocking, don't come knocking" and implications that it was his wild sexy bachelor pad.
• Then he said, "Nah, I have to behave. My mother is watching this."
• Cut to Cirie.
• Heh.
• Felicia was trying to grab his snacks for herself. When she said Cameron gave her some of his, he said, "Cameron didn't LIKE his snacks! I like all of mine!"
• In other news, Matt is SO embarrassed that he called Julie "Julia" when voting. Felicia told him nobody probably noticed. She obviously doesn't know BB fandom that well. It was noticed, but everyone could tell it was just a mistake and he knows her name.
• Matt told Cirie he thought he might have done something wrong with the power because Jag was almost out the door when it kicked in.
• Nominations are later today.
• I expect no surprises.
• Neither do Red or Cameron.

We can take down the Empire!

Who wants to see my photos of my ... dogs?

All of a sudden girl got game.

Really thought he was gone!

Don't tell anyone, Matt!

BB25: We Have a New HOH - Aug. 31

 

The live feeds came back on at 1:19AM EDT. No Cam, Red or Jag on cameras.

Oh my. JARED won HOH. I have no words. It must not have been a spelling bee.

BB25: Live Eviction Invincibility Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 31

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Blue or Jag will get the boot! Or ... maybe one won't. We will be seeing the reveal of America's Vote. (I hope I'm not the only one wishing Hamster America had a different name.) We will find out the top four vote getters -- shhhh ... I know feeds followers already know those four -- who won with the most votes and whether the power will be used tonight. It's only good for either tonight or next live eviction, then it goes away.

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 the latest update from Lifeguard SueGee with 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

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

Hamster watchers ready? Hmm ...not sure about what to say regarding Julie's outfit tonight.

We get a pep talk on the power that one will win tonight. Will it be used? Who won? Oh my ... the suspense!

Day 30, Julie tells us Cameron and Red think they have all the power. She teases us about the power, too.

But, first ... she tells us having your son in the house has advantages and disadvantages. We pick up the action after the veto meeting ends. We get Diary Room sessions from Red and Izzy. Fake hug time for Jag. Cam is dead set on Jag going. Blue calls Jag her bestie ... that dates back to the Reilly days. Cam tells her she's safe.

Jag talks to Cirie, Felicia and Izzy. He knows he's the target this week. Matt arrives. He promises them loyalty. Izzy says she's willing to take the shot and keep Jag. They know he would target Red and Cameron. They come to the decision that keeping Jag makes more sense. Cirie is worried about talking to Jared.

She talks to him. He seems shocked. Jared is not on board with the plan. He doesn't trust Jag and now he tells her that he won't trust the group. He tells us he won't play the game based on others or even his mother. To me, he seems blinded by his own desire to be "great", and he just isn't that.

Whoa ... a new game announcement and the Comic sphere in the living room is lighted. Cam reads a note saying there has been an America's Vote with a secret power prize. Best time with the top four wins the power. They will each be called individually to compete ... or not.

America first, not selected. Sorry, Bowie Jane, Cameron. Cirie gets to compete! They are in the same thing as the last POV comp. It's one of those wooden wavy things they need to roll a ball (orb) down to the end to win. Cirie is thrilled. She has tears in her eyes with joy about making it to the top four. She is having trouble with rolling the orb down without it falling.

Cory is next and he too is top four. They are going in alphabetical order. It looks like he did better than Cirie.

Felicia not selected, Izzy, Jared, Mecole, Red not chosen. 

Matt in the top four. He seems to have done pretty well. 

Blue not selected in the top four. 

Jag got the congrats note and will compete. He seems to do well.

We're into commercial now.

Who won and what will they do with it. The four get called to the DR individually. MATT won! He can save one of the next two evicted houseguests. He can keep it secret or not. Poor Jag.

Matt tells us he wants to tell Cirie for advice and to buy trust with her. She tells us that the power is great and the fact Matt trusts her, now she wants to work with him. She tells him that everyone wants Jag out. He tells her he would rather Blue go. 

Matt thinks the whole eviction is canceled. Both Cirie and Matt worry about Red and Cameron (who Matt thinks can play for HOH again) coming after them. But they both agree on Jag. Julie confirms to us that no one would go home tonight if it's used to save one.

Time for the live vote and eviction.

Blue - Shout outs, she says her mother told her not to come home not being the winner. She tells the world her mother's age -- 59.

Jag - Shout outs, congrats BB family, the friendships, want to share more laughs and memories, thanks all, love.

The votes to evict:

Red - Jag

Jared - Jag

Cory - Jag

America - Jag

To commercial ...

Many commercials, that is.

Matt - Jag apparently not using the power?

Cirie - Jag

Felicia - Jag

Izzy - Jag

Mecole - Jag

Bowie Jane - Jag

Have I mentioned how much I hate whole house votes? They need to stop this!

Julie tells them the votes are in. By a vote 10 to 0, Jag is evicted. He looks so sad. Hugs time. 

WAIT! There is dramatic noise and Comic sphere lights! a MESSAGE COMES THROUGH! MATT SAVED JAG! Of course, we know it's Matt, they don't!

YAY! JAG is safe!

Everyone including Cam will compete for HOH!

Jag seems shocked. Cam is shrugging it off. 

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Aug. 31

 

On the Anti-Bowie Jane bus

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Chaos Cats:

• Okay, the most recent waffle is that, once again, Jag will be leaving.
• And, once again, by a house vote even though they've talked about how much they hated house votes back when watching the show.
• Then don't do it, I say!
• They are all lying to Jag.
• He has been going around campaigning to each and every one of them.
• Heck, he even campaigned to Cameron.
• America and Cory have had a never-ending debate on whether to tell Jag or not about the votes.
• America thinks someone should let him know and people should stop lying to him.
• Cory thinks they should stay out of it and just nod their heads and go along with it.
• Cory, if I recall correctly, has gained recognition in college for debate and public speaking.
• America talks to Jag. She nods and gives him encouragement.
• Sigh.
• Izzy too wants to avoid Jag.
• Izzy was supposed to have a makeover from America and Blue with Jag hosting last night.
• Nope. That was mysteriously cancelled.
• Oh. Where is Blue, the other nominee for eviction?
• She's with Jared, of course.
• Jared told her he can't say whether she will stay or not. He claims he doesn't know. 
• She hasn't been campaigning but is definitely sad that there is a possibility she will go. She would just like some encouragement from him.
• Nope. Ain't gonna happen. Instead he talks about how they can get together after the show ends.
• Some boyfriend she's got there, eh?
• The other big thing is that Invincibility Power stuff.
• The top four chosen to compete by America's Vote (not the hamster, they should never put another "America" in the house!) are: Cirie, Matt, Cory and Jag.
• Cirie told Jared (and maybe some others) that Matt won.
• I actually haven't personally see Matt say that he won the comp itself. I have heard him say he won to be in the top four vote.
• Will it change things?
• Heck, Cirie may have won it herself and not want to be on the hook if it's used to save Jag. That's a long shot, but you never know.
• The bromance with Red and Cam continues as they spend a good portion of the time together in the HOH room.
• Thank goodness I have not witnessed any hanky-panky between them! Neither my eyes nor my mind could take that abuse!
• They did have an end of the week's Have Not feast last night. In my opinion they had it easy with the PB&J this week instead of slop.
• But Cory, Bowie Jane and Izzy got back to their normal beds and that had to be so much better!
• Bowie Jane continues to be totally clueless about what to do. She told Cameron she doesn't want to win HOH and will vote whichever way they want. She just wants to make it to jury.
• On the show last night, we saw in Diary Room segments that Blue is more in tune with things happening than she is showing on the feeds while dealing with the others.
• Maybe she has some game in her? I just don't know. I was just shocked that on the show she made the Cirie connection while on the feeds talking to Jared, she thought the mother in question is Felicia. Hmm.
• I don't know if the power will be used tonight.
• I personally would like to see Jag stay. I think it would be a better game move to keep him rather than Blue.
• We will see ...

This could be my last Jag screen cap

Cam thinks he's diabolical and cunning.

Someday your face will freeze like that!

Tell him. You tell him. No, you tell him.

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 30

 

Good evening! I hope those blog readers in Florida have made it through the hurricane okay!

Tonight is the Veto comp episode. We have Jag and Blue on the block. Will someone win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees? Ohh ... the suspense! (Well, if you don't follow the live feeds, there is suspense!)

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!

Once again I will sit through the "Previously on" segment. I mean, how many times can we see Hisam evicted?

Hints that Jared may spill his big secret as well as a duo round-up and mistrust of Izzy. We pick up the action as the Nominations Ceremony ends. Cameron tells us that he has a plan if the veto is used. Would that be Izzy? Cirie is thinking Cam is staying in with the fake alliance they set up.

Blue is teary speaking to Jared about being on the block ... especially with Jag. Cory tells America that he has a secret. The fact that his brother was on Survivor and voted out in 17th place. Heh. America decides to tell him her secret ... Brown University, biology. Cory decides he wants to go deep into the game with her.

Red and Cameron talk about (the fake) Legend 25 Alliance. Cameron thinks that he and Red are the low ones on the power totem pole. Again, Izzy is the target of their conversation. Cameron tells Red that Izzy is his backdoor option. Cam doesn't like the trio of Cirie, Felicia and especially Izzy.

Jag's chicken costume punishment is over. He takes the costume off in the backyard in a fun chicken strip show.

To Jared and Blue now. (Ew.) He tells US that he wants to give Blue a half-truth to test her trust. He tells her ... what if I'm related to Mama Felicia? He refuses to promise or pinky-swear. She tells us that someone might be related. She thinks it's more likely that it could be Cirie. He has dropped many clues, even his mother has been on Survivor four times.

Cameron tells Matt that he's his boy and he will never leave him behind. He wants to test Matt's level of trust. He talks of three people being very tight and "we're" expendable. Cam tells Matt not to tell about his proposed new alliance. Matt runs to Cirie about Cam's new alliance plans. Matt really wants to work with Cirie.

Cory and America's flirtmance continues. They went under the covers and Izzy thinks they should throw condoms at them. But the condoms have are missing. They know someone must have used them! Jared ...? Blue ...?

Time to pick the Veto players! Cameron draws Houseguest Choice and goes for Red. Blue draws Jared. Jag draws Mecole. Mecole tells us she wants both of them to stay on the block. Cirie doesn't want Jared to use the veto if he wins because she thinks one of them will go on the block.

Time for the veto comp! It's all set up as the Temple of Power. It's a ComicVerse comp. Ancient riddle, balance artifacts on the pillars to match the artifact weights to reveal letters and unscramble the letters revealed to solve the riddle. Fastest time wins.

Blue is up first. She gets the word Golden and is happy with her time. Cameron up next. He tells us he doesn't want to win due to increased target; he wants Red to win. Mecole next. The letters kept falling off the wall costing her time. Jared next. He has trouble coming up with the word "golden." Red next. He goes through it quickly. Jag is up. He went through with one hiccup on the artifact weighing bit.

The results: Top Three times -- 3. 3:18 Cam, 2. 2:41 Jag, 1. 2:20 Red.

RED wins the Power of Veto!

Blue and Jag are both sad. They decide they each have to advocate for themselves. Blue is teary-eyed in the Diary Room and thinks highly of Jag. They hug.

Meanwhile, Cam and Red are celebrating in the HOH room. Cam thinks they can keep the noms the same or take one down to shake up the house. Cam tells Red putting up Izzy would be "one hell of a move."

Time for the veto meeting. Red doesn't use the veto. Jag and Blue remain on the block. We get the obligatory Diary Room bits from Jag and Blue. Jag will unleash the Turbinator. Cam thinks not using it keeps them in the favor of their larger alliance.

We get a teaser for the Super Power to be revealed tomorrow on the live show.

BB25: Live Feeds into Waffle Wednesday - Aug. 30

Who's that cool dude? Oh. Cory.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blocked Feeds Gone Rampant:

• I don't have all that much to report since my update in my last report.
• If you didn't see my report, the America Votes invincibility comp went down.
• No, we didn't see the comp.
• In alphabetical order, each hamster was called and left, presumably to somewhere outside the house (not the yard).
• They were each gone for 25 minutes.
• They don't know what the power is but do know it's an America Votes thing -- so basically a popularity contest with the fans.
• All lied upon returning, saying they didn't make it. But they know and we know four did.
• The winner was supposed to be told last night, probably why the feeds went down for good until they were all in bed.
• Throughout the whole latter part of yesterday, we would have about three minutes of feeds, then blocked for 15 minutes.
• It was very annoying and really uncalled for!
• The only two who won as part of the four that I can confirm are Cirie and Matt. They told each other they were in the four. Neither seemed real confident about how they did.
• Cirie also told Izzy and Felicia, but not Jared. Heh.
• Both Jared and Blue obviously didn't win as both are out of sorts and downplaying the whole America Votes thing.
• There is a lot of speculation that America won into the four, as well as Cory. I believe this is due to the various hamster popularity polls.
• America did seem to react too happily upon her return to the house.
• But I haven't seen her tell anyone.
• As for Cory, I just don't know.
• Then there's Jag. He's acting much like he did about being Sad Jag on the block, but let a smile slip to the camera.
• In other news, all of a sudden Blue wants to play the game.
• Izzy, of all people, had a long pep talk with her.
• Blue even started fussing about how Jared tells her how to play the game and such.
• Trouble in paradise, I guess.
• I expect the feeds blocking to be rampant again today as the show TRIES to keep its secret winner.
• Remember, the winner can remove one person (including themself if on the block) from the block either this live eviction or the next. If not used by then, it goes away.
• Laters!

Sad act for real or for effect?

Nope, Izzy. 

 

BB25: Live Feeds into Invincibility! - Aug. 29

 

Jared says I have no personality.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Invincibility Secrecy:

• Well, they are each getting called into the Diary Room alphabetically, spending 25 minutes in there and then returning.
• The first rule of invincibility is you don't talk about in invincibility.
• So, far as I write the start of this post, most aren't saying they played.
• They do know the top four will play and it's most likely an America (not the hamster) Votes thing.
• Jared has it right in a way. Although he thinks it's underdogs, he's saying a popularity contest with the fans.
• He's SURE he's on that list.
• He told Cory that he (Cory) has no chance to get any of the America Votes things because he doesn't have any personality.
• Say what?
• Yeah, Jared has a personality. So far, it seems to be mainly bad!
• He has a girlfriend at home, says misogynistic things, had sex with a girl on the show while his mother is in the house and they are supposed to be working on the goal of final two together and so much more.
• Plus, he calls EVERYONE, sometimes even his MOTHER, "bro." I hate that. 
• I enjoy Cory on the show. He seems like a smart sweet kid. (At 21, he's definitely a kid to me!) I enjoy his sense of humor, too.
• Cirie said a rather abrupt, "Thank you, America, for nothing." -- while wearing her sunglasses. She made it clear she meant us, not the hamster.
• Is she acting? I think a definite maybe for her.
• Lots of feeds cuts today as any specific mention of the happenings gets blocked.
• Blue looks upset and commented to Cirie, "We have no idea what they're showing of us." Sounds disappointed to me!
• Of course, all are acting like they weren't chosen to compete, and a few are being very vague about it.
• They know it's for some kind of power but don't know what the power is.
• Right now Matt is getting ready to go in.
• After Matt, it's just Mecole and Red.
• I will put up an update if anyone spills the beans.

UPDATE: 9:48pm EDT -- Cirie tells Matt she won/is one of the four. She said won, but it could just be one of the top four who will compete. She swore him to secrecy. Matt told her he did, too. So, it must be one of the four.

Is he the Jag Invincible?

I doubt she was chosen.

I'm just sayin' what I'm sayin'!

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday - Aug. 29

 

I tell you, Cirie. Izzy is a problem.

Here's the latest news from inside that Big Brother House of Dizzy Izzy and Poo on Jared:

• Lots of talks going on.
• By the way, Jared's nickname on social media and in the house is Poo.
• Well-deserved, I say.
• Despite talks with all, he is hellbent on keeping Blue.
• Why give up a sex kitten?
• He keeps saying he trusts her and he can't trust Jag.
• Maybe Mama brought the wrong child aboard the show.
• Cirie has two main liabilities. Call them Izzy and Poo-Jared.
• Now, as live feeders we see/hear some things in the house that the people in the house don't see.
• I KNOW Red is loyal to a fault to Cirie.
• Both he and Cam adore Cirie.
• Now, when it comes to the end of the game, that might be a reason for them to get her out of the house for their own games (if all are still in it at that point).
• But Cirie's ally Izzy, although we know it hit off due to the Jared/Cirie relationship being known, is definitely a liability.
• Heck, Cirie would be better off rocking with Cam, Red and Jag.
• Red had a long serious talk with Cirie.
• He told her that the only reason he would never put Izzy up is due to the alliance. He's loyal to the alliance and she's a part of it. 
• He said that he'd rather work with Jag than with Izzy if not for the alliance. Izzy is all over the place.
• Cirie brought Izzy in to talk to Red.
• Once again, Red had a long serious, sincere, even a bit compassionate conversation with Izzy, like that time a few weeks ago.
• Now, I don't care for Red's made-up persona for the cameras and he's certainly not perfect.
• But he is a better ally for Cirie than Izzy is. She's too much.
• Izzy, for once, took it well.
• But, then again, she seemed to take the last talk with him well.
• Then there's Jared.
• I don't like cheap showmances with people jumping into bed with each other within a few weeks on national television and forever on the internet for the world to see.
• Jared and Blue crossed that line.
• Perhaps I'm a prude or something, but that's how I feel. I don't watch the feeds to watch soft porn.
• Poo on them, both Poo and Blue.
• Laters!

Probably not America's vote.

In another life ...

How did I get in this mess?

Red has no loyalty to her.

He is trying the game, but ...!

I'm sorry, Red.
