BB25: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday - Oct. 1-2

 

Are we boring you, Blue?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Mice:
  • Previously on ... Cameron nominated Felicia and Mecole for eviction. He has wanted Felicia out for weeks now and wants her gone before jury. Although she promised to vote for him if he makes the final two, he doesn't trust her. He considers Mecole someone who would save Felicia if she won veto or vote for her to stay, so she's the pawn.
  • Felicia has now reconciled with Cirie and thinks that they, along with Matt, Jag and Mecole, should take down Cameron next week.
  • Um. That would be hard to do if you're gone, Felicia.
  • Meanwhile, Cameron's attention has turned to Cory. He notices that Cory's spending a lot of time with Blue and with his gal America.
  • Cameron pitched the idea of backdooring Cory to both Jag and Matt.
  • Matt was fine with it.
  • Jag not so much.
  • Cameron told Matt that he thinks Cory and Jag might have some kind of deal going. Matt said he didn't know of one.
  • Ah, but they do. It's part of Jag trying to be in good with all.
  • Now, half the house (if not more) have the idea that Cameron might be thinking of backdooring Cory.
  • So, what does Cory do?
  • Thinking he's putting himself in good graces with Cameron, he starts talking about how well he will do in the final comps which are more cerebral than physical.
  • Um. Um. Shut up, Cory.
  • Cory was talking like they would work together.
  • But I think Cameron saw red flags and more reason to get Cory out.
  • Cirie and Matt talked. Both are for the idea of getting Cory on the block. They will work on it!
  • Cirie and Felicia buried the hatchet, extended the olive and kissed cheeks to seal the deal -- let bygones be bygones, start anew and now they are The Bookends.
  • The feeds were blocked for Cameron's POV win treat of the new Exorcist movie. He invited Matt, Blue and Jag to see it with him.
  • The Veto Meeting is later today.
  • I do think Cameron just might use that veto.
  • Uh-oh. 
  • After coming out of the diary room in the wee hours, Cameron is talking to Jag and Matt about not backdooring Cory.
  • Oh, the suspense!

Bowie Jane keeps on smiling.

Mecole is me-cold.

Matt is starting to get cocky.

It's Cameron's influence on him.

At least Cirie is smiling, but not like Bowie Jane.

BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 1

 


Good evening! Tonight we get to see the HOH comp from the other day and the nominations the new HOH made. Isn't that exciting? Well, more exciting than the Zombie Week, for sure.

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!

Once again, tonight's show is scheduled much too late for my liking - 10PM ET/PT. Please note that the veto shows will now be on Tuesdays at 8PM ET/PT and, despite them earlier announcing that the live eviction shows on Thursdays will be an hour earlier, they are once again scheduled for 9PM ET/PT.

Hamster watchers ready?

Sitting through the Previously On segment much as I always do.

We pick it up with Jared walking out the door. (Good.) Cameron is ready to kick it up into high gear. Cirie feels sad about Jared going but now doesn't have feelings for the rest of the cast. Jag is happy because he, Matt and Cameron work together well. Blue is in tears. Felicia and Cirie comfort her. Blue actually thinks she can win an HOH comp.

HOH comp in the backyard with a space set-up. Cory can play as last week was skipped. The comp is a puzzle building rockets.


We get the standard "I have to win this comp" diary room bits. It's a 14-piece puzzle. Cameron gathered a lot of intel while zombified. America should be more careful. Most are having puzzling problems with their puzzles. And we go to commercial. Oh, the suspense!

Cameron is leading it, followed closely by Jag. Matt is doing well. But ... CAMERON WINS HOH ... of course he does. Matt ALMOST had it! Heh, Cirie says "of course he does" after I typed it here. Felicia is sure she will be on the block again.

Cameron tells us he hopes the groundwork he laid down last week will go well this week. Cory thinks he's safe with Cameron this week. Jared had asked Cameron to protect Cirie and he promises to do so. Will Cirie work with Cameron?

Jag tells Matt they need to talk with Cameron. He and Matt have kind of been working with Cory and America. Felicia and Mecole look miserable.

Ah, no one knows Emily Dickinson is except Cirie! Cirie has to go to the diary room just as Cory decides to ask Survivor questions. He thinks of Cirie as his Survivor Google. She is not thrilled with it!

Cam, Matt and Jag share beers in the HOH room. The Fugitives are together again! Cameron decides his target is someone he doesn't want in the jury house. Cam thinks Cory might be dangerous.

Lots of filler bits. Cleaning and America's kissing history.

Cameron talks to Cory. Cory thinks he has a great relationship with Cam. He has never betrayed him. Cameron tells us no one should be comfortable.

Cameron talks to Blue. Cam likes to gather the information on the others during his talks. Blue wants Cory out. Then it's time to talk to Felicia. She tells him they have never talked game. He tells her he never felt like there was an invitation for game talk. Her gut tells her he is putting her on the block. He tells her she is the greatest persuader in the house. She throws Cirie under that bus. He asks if he has her vote if he is sitting in the finals. She promises him her vote.

Cam talks to Mecole next. He tells us he needs to sit his target next to a pawn. Cam tells her it's just a situation, she knows the vibe and she is not a target, no malice, etc. In other words, she's going to be a pawn. She tells us that she will go after Cam.

Time for the nominations ceremony. Cam nominates Felicia, then Mecole. He tells Felicia her conversations have made her a competitor. He apologizes to Mecole. He tells us Mecole cannot win the POV and save Felicia.

BB25: Live Feeds Power of Veto Winner Bulletin - Sept. 30

 


The feeds were blocked FOREVER for the comp! In addition to Cameron, Mecole and Felicia, chosen to play were Matt, America and Blue. Cirie is now holding the record for most veto comps not played.

The veto comp itself is supposedly tying in with the release of the new Exorcist movie. Last night while the feeds were blocked, "ghosts" appeared in the windows. Of course, they couldn't do that with the week of absolutely nothing last week, huh?

Feeds back at over six hours gone. I see Blue, America, Cameron and Matt talking ... none are wearing the necklace. None are saying who won. They had to crawl through tunnels in the dark. Hmm. Neither Felicia nor Mecole are on screen, then we got blocked again. Now Felicia and Mecole are in the background in the living room, neither SEEMS to have the necklace ... then blocked again.

From what they have said NON-winners are: Blue, Mecole, Matt and America. So ... it has to be Felicia or Cameron. Again, no one is wearing the necklace. Of those two, you can guess who PROBABLY won but I don't want to post a guess!

Confirmed ... CAMERON won the Power of Veto.

Update ... 


"Lies, lies, all lies. It wasn't that dark in there. You could see. My mistake was going in the same room twice. This was my veto to win and I lost. Now I'm going home."

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday, Veto Players Picks - Sept. 30

 

Felicia decided to talk to me ... to correct me.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Devious Dormice:

  • Not all that much has happened since I last reported.
  • Cameron seems to have tunnel vision in his quest to get Felicia out of the house this week.
  • He has said since before the double eviction that he wanted Felicia out before jury as he thinks she will be a bitter juror.
  • At least towards him, he thinks!
  • He plans, if Mecole wins the veto, to replace Mecole with Blue, thus making sure it's Felicia voted out.
  • Hmm.
  • Now, Cameron doesn't get a vote. What if (since they all like to play what if) the others decide keeping Felicia would be best for their games?
  • I doubt it will happen because voting out Mecole would be a tougher decision for some of them.
  • But, hey ... Felicia does a lot of the cleaning and cooking! While Cameron, Blue and Cirie can cook, even Matt can cook some, her kitchen knowledge is great, especially if she can get "Mr. B" to give her supplies!
  • Speaking of her cooking, Mr. B finally gave them oxtails. Jag had never seen or even heard of them. He thought the package was a single oxtail. Heh.
  • Back to the Cameron/Felicia thing -- they're at the point where the slightest thing about the other gets them going. I'm talking the both of them.
  • It's like if you have a neighbor you don't like, every teensy bit of noise, etc. you notice.
  • This morning Cameron was sitting on the counter in the kitchen as he always does. Instead of saying good morning back to him Felicia asked him if he sat on his kitchen counter at home. 
  • So, they ended up having minor words about it. He went and retold it to Matt, America and Bowie Jane saying how she can't just be pleasant to him.
  • They had the veto picks early (for them) this morning.
  • I don't know who randomly picked whom or whether someone got houseguest choice. Cam said beforehand that if he got HC, he would pick Matt.
  • In addition to Cameron, Mecole and Felicia, we have Blue, America and Matt playing for the veto.
  • The veto comp will be later on today.

And Bowie Jane smiles on.

Blue critiques the wake-up music.

Matt, PLEASE lose that flosser thing!

Mecole relieving stress after noms yesterday.

Cory tells Cirie she is good with him.

BB25: Nominations Today Live Feeds - Sept. 29

 

Cameron does his hair.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Snaky McSnakefaces:
  • As you know from my last post, Cameron won HOH because, well, of course he did.
  • While he has schmoozed most of the house, we all know that the first time he can get got, he will get got.
  • So, he's back into the having to win competitions to remain.
  • However, he did make jury by winning this HOH. The 30-something year old father kept going on about how he needed that jury stipend money. 
  • Well, he has it now.
  • He schmoozed talked to all between last night and earlier today.
  • Continuing the practice they are doing this season (that I thought was not allowed), he went and told Felicia he thought she was "too persuasive" to have in the jury house and he needed to get her out before jury.
  • She tried to throw Cirie under the bus to him as the best persuader, but to no avail.
  • While that is sort of consistent with what he's been saying for a few weeks now, although he termed it more along the lines of a bitter juror, I always thought the nominees couldn't be told before nominations.
  • And I remember as early as Hisam's HOH, they've been telling them this season.
  • Cameron plans to put Felicia up with Mecole.
  • Right now, Bowie Jane is probably the safest one in the house. Bowie Jane might just smile and laugh her way to a win.
  • Think about it. Bowie Jane IS a lawyer, so she must have smarts. Plus, looking at her performances in the Pressure Cooker and on the Wall, she can do comps ... she just doesn't want the win. She hasn't needed to win, nor the attention drawn by winning comps.
  • I wanted to like Mecole and I do like her as a person. But, for someone who talks so much game ... her game isn't gaming!
  • Cameron wants to work with Matt and Jag. That will last until it doesn't.
  • Cameron does still have the weird cringy "father" leery bit going on with America.
  • That doesn't bode too well for Cory. I can't see the thruple going on there. Ew.
  • Blue, while in with Matt and Jag, seems very expendable.
  • As for Blue and Cameron, they both told each other that they don't like each other. But, as long as their interests in the game align, it could work.
  • Oh ... what about Cirie?
  • She's just so darn likable. And now she won't really have anyone in the game ... right? What kind of threat could she be?
  • Heh.
  • The feeds have been blocked a while now for the nominations.
  • I don't expect any surprises.
  • And I got none except the backyard is open.
  • Felicia and Mecole are on the block.
  • Mecole is trying to do deep breathing and pep-talking herself in the storage room.

Surrounded by liars! Well, it IS BB.

Bowie Jane smiles on.

The Bible probably won't save Felicia.

Maybe I can be incognito without the pink cap.

BB25: Live Feeds HOH Bulletin - Sept. 29

 


Well, that took forever. The feeds were blocked for the duration of the West Coast airing of the show and beyond.

Then nobody was wearing the HOH key and no one was talking about it. 

Now they are. Some kind of puzzle? Anyway, seems like Cameron won it again. I would guess it's BYE, FELICIA if he has his way.

BB25: Live Undead Eviction Show Blog Party - Sept. 28

 


Tonight either Zombie Jared or Zombie Cameron will leave the house once again. Hopefully, this time for good. They have been competing in that fill the teeter-totter shovel with 30 balls (whatever) and, although in real life it has been wrapped up, we will see the end of that tonight. The winner of that (please no live feeds content in comments!) will choose to either do a puzzle himself or pass on the puzzle hoping the other zombie can't complete it. Winner of the puzzle is "resurrected." Blech.

Oh, the show is also messing with us regarding the schedule for the live shows! Tonight is back to 9PM ET/PT, then next week it's back to 8PM ET/PT. Argh!

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!

Hamster watchers ready?

Skipping Previously On, this is Julie tonight all pretty in pink ... thank goodness the bob hairstyle is gone.


Okay, we're back to Round Two in which Cameron has the lead by four balls. We are now starting the final round of the teeter-totter challenge for the Zombie Boyz. Jared has to reset. Then he has to reset again. Cameron has one ball to go. CAMERON WINS THE ROUND!

He now has the power to control his own fate. He can play in the competition on the live show or make Jared play in it. Jared is teary.

It's after the Resurrection Rumble. Cameron has to decide whether or not he will play. He wants to create a future inside the house. Cirie is down about Jared losing the Rumble. She tries to tell Jared to shake it off. Cory is happy about Cameron probably staying rather than Jared. Meanwhile, Jared is in tears with Felicia and Cirie. Felicia tells him that he should think about what his Mom would say to him now. Heh.

Cameron talks to Jag about working with him and Matt ... one week of trust and see what he can do about it. Jag tells us that he's open to working with Cameron. Jag and Matt say that if Jared is gone, Blue would work with them.

Ew. A Cory/America segment with them both in the shower to scare Felicia. It's Cory's birthday (which is actually tomorrow, Friday). He wants to make a deal with Mecole and Felicia. Mecole makes the deal but tells us she knows she can beat them. Felicia and Cory talk. Matt picks up on it and knows Cory is hiding his face so he can't read his lips. Felicia agrees to work with them. Matt catches them and tells Jag/Blue.

Are we ever going to find out which "zombie" returns?

Jared talks to Cameron asking if he will do the final part. Cameron tells him he plans to play the final part tonight.

Julie tells us Cam has not seen the competition. Jared and Cam are in the backyard. Julie will show them how the comp works. Zombie board, pulleys to maneuver a ball up the comp. It's timed. Cam decides to do it himself.

Finally back after several commercials. Cameron is ready to do the Do Or Die Comp. Three minutes. The others are watching inside on their living room screen. With 1.06 minutes left, he makes it back in the house! Jared has to go in, say goodbye and walk out the front door.

Hugs, hugs, hugs. He's out with Julie now. Jared and Cam's Memory Wall un-zombies them, Jared turns grey. Into more commercials.

Back to the interview. He's smiling. I can only hope he won't call her Bro. He hopes his mother does amazing and gets teary about it. Okay, outright tears. Julie mentions that he told Blue about the secret. He cries more. He thinks Cirie can only trust Blue. Goodbye messages time. America is happy. Cory is okay. Blue calls him Pooh Bear and a trip to Italy. Cirie is proud of him, will get Cory for him, loves him. He cries more.

Back to Julie talking to the houseguests. She congratulates Cameron. Some good news -- Scary Week over. Because of the twist, all are eligible to compete in HOH including Cory, the last HOH. Sunday at 10PM for HOH, Tuesday at 8PM Veto show.

BB25: Zombie Feeds into Thursday - Sept. 28

 

People either love or hate America

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Aimless Aardvarks:

  • Yep, still boring!
  • Yep, still all talk about what that one or this one will do if he/she wins HOH.
  • The main targets in talks seem to be Felicia, America and/or Cory or Jag with the occasional Matt.
  • Cam wants to target Felicia pre-jury because he thinks she will be a bitter juror.
  • Cameron is still wanting to do the puzzle tonight that, if he completes in time, gets him "resurrected" into the house.
  • That is even though both he and Jared have been allowed to be there as normal albeit with different clothes this past week and never left the house!
  • They are speculating whether Cameron will be able to see the puzzle before accepting the challenge or not.
  • They don't really know.
  • Neither do I.
  • They are acting pretty much like Jared is a Dead Zombie Walking even though Jared is trying to talk as much game as he can.
  • Oh. And Jared is giving others game advice. Like he knows about the game!
  • Most are talking playing with Cam but they all want him out again already even though he technically isn't in!
  • At least tonight this mess will be over.

Matt has picked up saying "Bro." Stop that!

And Bowie Jane keeps on smiling.

The piggy suit gets around.

What? No in bed with Jared?

The Amazing Race 35: Season Premiere Blog Party!

 


Don't forget to sign up for the blog pool!

The link to the blog pool sign up is right here. Please sign up ONLY on that post, not this one! The cut-off is Friday but do it now! There are supposed to be no non-Philimination legs this season, so one team should be out tonight. That team will not be in the blog pool. However, there will be no reassignments with the boot next week!

For a cheat sheet with photos and names of the teams, check out this post of mine! Oh ... and deaf people are making a mark on reality TV this year. Rob, the father on the father/son team of Rob/Corey, is deaf. TAR has not had a deaf contestant since Season 14.

I will be live blogging the action the best I can as the show airs here on the East Coast. I say the best I can because it's hard to keep track with new teams AND we even have two more teams than usual this season! They will no longer have the Covid-era private jet and will have to scramble at airports again. Woohoo! As usual, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

The teams start off at the Hollywood sign (its 100th birthday). Like with Survivor, we're getting sound bites from the different teams. Phil welcomes them to Hollywood. Each team introduces themselves. He tells them no non-elims. Express Pass will allow them to skip a challenge. U-Turns are a mandatory vote to slow down another team. Airports are back in play. Clues are inside the cars down the hill. They have to get to the Biltmore Hotel.

We're getting bits and pieces of each team.

Joe and Ian are the first to the Biltmore Hotel. Roadblock, on a tightrope high above the city, unscramble the clue to the next destination, Derek and Claire will give them the clue, two flights, six teams on the first one, 90 minutes apart.

Joe first at the clue. Other teams are arriving to the tightrope. Greg sees of and gets it. He thinks City of ... Angels and gets the clue. They have to go the LAX and fly to Bangkok, Thailand. Heh, in a hearing group all working together on the clue, Rob gets it alone.

The teams are arriving at LAX. It turns out Greg of brothers Greg and John has been learning sign language. He can communicate with Rob. So, a bond is forming with those teams. Six teams have lined up for tickets and more are arriving. Uh-oh, the second flight is getting tickets.

14-hour flight connecting through Taipei before getting to Bangkok, first clue is at the giant Buddha. Taxis. Victor, husband of Jocelyn, speaks Laotian which is similar to Thai and can communicate with the driver.

Morgan/Lena (sisters) first to clue, have to travel by boat and tuk-tuk. Express Pass chance. Clear a plate of exotic fried insects ... EACH. Ew. They are having issues with it. (But doing better than I would do!) Another team decided not to try when they saw the bugs. Rob and Corey head there. Lena has ONE bug more! And we go to commercial. They finish. Morgan/Lena have the Express Pass.

Some teams are still thinking of trying the Ezpress Pass. Others are boarding the marked river boat. Meanwhile, the second plane with seven teams is arriving. 

The first teams are getting into the tuk-tuks. Jocelyn/Victor Detour clue first. Sword Play, 30 seconds of a routine. Spa Day, painful (?) massage. Only five pairs of therapists. If you stop, you must go to end of line. Malaina and Andrea are the only ones going for Sword Play so far. Eep, Todd and Ashlie had to start over on the massage because he inadvertently stopped the masseuse.

Malaina and Andrea are having trouble with the Sword Play as they practiced with wooden sticks, not real swords. They give up and go to the massage.

Jocelyn/Victor through the massage first followed by Corey/Rob. It's a race to the Pit Stop for them at a Temple.

Pit Stop Order:
1. Jocelyn/Victor, trip to Patagonia won.
2. Corey/Rob
3. Greg/John
4. Morgan/Lena
5. Todd/Ashlie
6. Steve/Anna Leigh
7. Joel/Garrett
8. Liam/Yeremi
9. Joe/Ian
10. Malaina/Andrea?
11. Robbin/Chelsea? (10 and 11 may be reversed)
12. Elizabeth/Iliana
13. Alexandra/Sheridan - Philiminated

Survivor 45: Season Premiere Blog Party!

 


Don't forget to sign up for the blog pool!

The link to the blog pool sign up is right here. Please sign up ONLY on that post, not this one! The cut-off is Friday but do it now! If there is a boot tonight, that castaway won't be in the pool.

Tonight is the night! We get our first 90-minute show with the all-new castaways. Well, one is one from last season -- Bruce, the one with the head injury knocking him out of play the first day. All the others are new. And, as such, I am bound to have trouble with their names for a few weeks. So, please bear with me! For a cheat sheet with photos and names, check out my post on the cast.

I will be live blogging the events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page for the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments. I hope to see you there.

Survivor fans ready?

We have three boats heading to the shore. We're getting brief soundbites from the castaways. No way can I keep up with the small talk! Once again and as always, they are in Fiji. Well, the boats aren't heading to shore. They are heading to a huge boat where Jeff Probst is standing.

They already have buffs on for their tribes. Yellow, Blue and Red. Jeff comments on their energy. Brandon is emotional. He's on the Yellow tribe. Bruce from S44 is introduced -- Blue tribe. Red is Reba. Yellow is Lulu. Blue is Belo.

Challenge - two from each tribe unload bags, key. Next pair, swim to boat, boat to key. Next pair, swim, use keys. Get supplies by unrolling bags through a huge spring thing, not much but a flint, pot and machete! Eep. Brandon is having trouble with the ladder getting up, losing Yellow's lead. Reba wins the supplies!

The other tribes have to choose two people for Sweat versus Savvy to get supplies.

Reba is celebrating their win. They do introductions. Julie the lawyer is lying about lawyering. 

The four Belo members are on their beach. Bruce brings up "mean girl Emily" lighting into him on the boat. Bruce claims to be the fun uncle, not the father of the tribe but then starts running everything. Brando and Jake went on the Sweat vs. Savvy. 

Meanwhile, on Yellow Lulu, Emily is bringing up how two volunteered to go on the trip and she's suspicious. Brandon, who had to be treated by medical arrives at the camp. Kaleb and Sabiyah went for their tribe.

Sweat has them moving 40 logs across the beach and then do Savvy - a puzzle in 40 minutes. Both tribes have sweat done are trying to figure out the puzzle. Both tribes are running out of time. They return.

Brando and Jake tell their tribe neither tribe got the supplies. Kaleb and Sabiyah got Emily ticked when they said they got nothing. She does not believe them at all. One of the guys tell them that Emily thinks they took an advantage. Meanwhile, Hannah and Brandon are bonding.

Belo Day 2 - The women are already talking final three. Kendra wants Jake out because he's a lawyer when one of the women is a lying lawyer. She's claiming office manager.

Lulu Day 2 - No machete. But they are working hard. Emily is being pessimistic about everything it seems. Her tribemates are wearying of her. She knows she isn't mixing well and risks being voted out.

Reba Day 2 - Sifu is looking for idols. His tribemates want to find him. He thinks he's playing a Tony game while Dee says he's trying to play a Tony game. They catch him. Austin finds an advantage which he must do if he reads it. Series of tasks, decipher message on their tribe's flag. If he doesn't do it, he loses his vote.

Day 3. We have the first Immunity Challenge. Up over ramp, into mud pit, heavy bag of coconuts, shoot into basket get set of keys, all go up tower, to puzzle. First two tribes get Immunity. Loser also loses flint. The two tribes without flint will have it back at camp unless they lose.


Uh-oh. Yellow Lulu is running behind again! Austin once again is having issues.

BELO wins Immunity! REBA wins Immunity! 

Lulu has to go to Tribal Council. Brandon feels bad that he will have to vote for someone who performed better than he did in the challenge.

Lulu Day 3 - Hannah is having ups and downs. She tells Brandon she wants to go. She knows they all want Emily out. Brandon tries to convince her to stay. Brandon feels he's a zero so far in the game. He physically feels awful with reflux. He tells others (not Emily) he is playing his shot in the dark because he feels like a liability. Sabiyah says they were all planning on voting out Emily. Meanwhile Emily tells Brandon and Hannah that they need to break up Kaleb and Sabiyah as they are so strong. Brandon tells Kaleb that Emily is targeting him. The vote seems to be between Brandon and Emily.

Time for Tribal Council. 



Jeff asks his Probsting questions. Will they keep the strongest? Emily throws Sabiyah and Kaleb under the bus. Sabiyah tells the others that Emily has isolated herself. Then it's to Brandon's struggles. Hannah still wants to go. She begs them to send her home but offers to quit. Jeff picks up on it. Is everyone on the same page? They all feel bad but they will all vote her out.

'Hannah, grab your torch." The tribe has spoken.

BB25: Zombie Feeds into Wednesday Morning - Sept. 27

 

No, the live feeders did NOT send these!


Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Fire the Person Who Came Up With This "Twist" --
  • No, hamsters.
  • The live feeders did NOT send you those baskets of goodies.
  • Production, stop telling them we did.
  • What most of us would send them is a kick in the butt to actually get up and DO something other than retell the retelling of retold stories and "what if" scenarios
  • Now, technically, it isn't the hamsters' fault.
  • They voted to evict three players that production thought it was best to keep the numbers in the game.
  • Before ANYONE goes on about it being rigged to keep certain players ... all of this was planned before the season started.
  • The No Veto Show this week was listed from the start of the season!
  • Yeah, someone PRE-PLANNED this disaster week!
  • The snacks baskets and minor booze deliveries were the big excitement in the house this week.
  • Now, they COULD have had fun with it -- not letting the two "zombies" sleep or eat with the living, having actual scary things happening, make the zombies get up in the middle of the night to terrorize the house ... anything!
  • I'm including screen caps to show you everyone is still there.
  • I don't have much more for you.
  • Tonight is the big Survivor and Amazing Race debut night. Be there or be square.

Cirie and Felicia, still alive ... check!

Cameron, still undead ... check!

Pooh and Blue, still undead and alive ... check!

Jag, still alive ... check!

Bowie Jane, alive and smiling ... check!

Mecole, still alive ... check!

Matt, still alive ... check!

BB25: Zombie Feeds into Monday Morning - Sept. 25

 

Selective shaving

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boredom:
  • Boredom.
  • Same old conversations over and over again.
  • And again.
  • Blue/Jared and Cory/America still showmancing and creeping me out.
  • Cirie has heard much of the bad Jared has done but still has that motherly love going on.
  • Cameron is still set on doing the final puzzle to be resurrected on Thursday's show.
  • That's it.
  • Have some screen caps ...

Scarier than the "zombies."

Party hats are out again.

Bowie Jane still smiles.

Cameron is sure he will be resurrected.

Doesn't know how bad Jared really is.

BB25: Undead Zombie Whatever Show Blog Party - Sept. 24

 


Okay, I am not happy with this twist. I can only guess it's to spread out the show to its 100 days. Please, do NOT post comments that it's favoring one contestant or another. They will be removed. I've had it to here with them.

I'm guessing that tonight's show will be the zombie challenges that they blocked on the live feeds. If I have it right, the winner of each challenge decides whether to compete in the next challenge or hope to let the other one fail. The winner of the two challenges can decide to complete a puzzle on Thursday's live show or take the chance the other undead will fail.

I will be live-blogging the show as it airs at this horrible 10PM ET slot. Refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

Previously on segment is first. I will hum until it's done. Yay! Jared and Cameron are evicted. Boo. They are back ... as BB Zombies.

We pick up the action after Jared is evicted. Cirie wasn't expecting Jared to go so soon. Cory tells Blue he has to have Jared go and he needs to put her up so she can't save him. Cory nominates Jared and Blue. Jared chose Matt as Houseguest Choice for veto. Matt wins the veto, but does not want to use it. Cory tells Matt to not use it. Blue wants Cirie on the block with Jared. Jared keeps calling Blue BRO. Grr. Jared feels Blue has betrayed him about knowing he was a target.

Matt keeps the noms the same. Jared thinks he has four votes. Yeah, right. He begs. Mecole and Bowie Jane tell Cirie they are all voting Jared to go. Cirie is feeling alone.

They are in the living room when the ScaryVerse globe lights. Cirie gets it and laughs. Reset previous transmission. BB Zombies are coming. One will have their game resurrected.

The doorbell rings. Cameron and Jared walk in without Zombie makeup but in tattery clothes. New transmission -- no HOH, no nominations, no veto. Instead both zombies will battle.

Jared tells Felicia and Blue they did him wrong and is surly about it. Felicia speaks up about him wanting her out last week instead of Izzy. They Felicia and Cirie have angry words. The others are outside the room listening. Now Jared is exaggerating. Mecole is just looking lost. She tells us she's annoyed with everybody.

Matt tells us he loves Cirie. He tells her that had he used the veto she would have gone home. Cirie really likes him. Cory tells Matt, Jag and America he would prefer Cameron come back over Jared. Meanwhile, Jared is still fussing at Blue. Meanwhile, Cameron wants to be peaceful and calm, choosing who he would like to work with if he returns to the house.

They have to gather in the living room. The ScaryVerse says Cam and Jared can put fate in their own hands. Live on Thursday the winner of the Resurrection Rumble will decide to win or see if loser loses in the final comp.

They go to the backyard. 3 rounds over 24 hours. They have to dig graves for skulls and eyeballs, teeter-totter, 30 objects in shovel at the end of teeter-totter. First round ten minutes, most wins. They tie 7-7 in the first round.

Jag gives Cam game advice to not watch the balls to save a few seconds.

Round Two time. Ten minutes. Jared lost a ball and had to start over. Now Cam resets, too. End of the round Jared 9, Cameron 13.

Round Three is announced. They start and leave us in suspense until Thursday.
