BB25: Live Feeds Nominations - Oct. 20

 

One on one meetings one by one.

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

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

Hey girl. Watch your back.

Why is everyone so LOUD?

Sure, Jag. I will work with you.

BB25: Live Feeds, HOH Winner - Oct. 20

 

My gun is ready!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Rinse and Repeat:

  • The live feeds were blocked for the HOH comp and didn't return until after the West Coast aired the live show.
  • We have a winner!
  • Oh. Jag again.
  • As he was the "invisible" HOH last week, he could play again for HOH this week to maintain that invisibility.
  • It doesn't matter that he told everyone and that even Cory made a joke about it on the live show.
  • He can still play and win.
  • So he did.
  • He claims that his only choices are to put either America and Blue on the block or Blue and Felicia?
  • He said he wants to work with America?
  • He wants Blue out?
  • I have no words.
  • Laters!

I should have won!

What? Again? Weren't you already gone?

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

He's MY target but I'm not his?

BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 19

 

We were dangling on a cliffhanger in the veto show. Who will be the renoms? After all, Blue will save herself and Jag told Felicia he would take her off the block. Oh, the suspense! (Shh ... live feed watchers. I know we already know but it's a secret until it airs!)

Tonight's show is delayed due to the President's address. While I expect it to start at 9:20PM ET, that may not be the case.

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. Lifeguard SueGee updated the blog pool and here's where we stand 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
Cirie - Petals, Janice, Krysta, RJM in SC, Skyriverblue
Matt - Brenda, Helenann2k, Brent McKee, Chrob61
Jag - Barbara W, Jackie, Donna in Alabama, Mary C
Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

JURY - Cameron

Hamster watchers ready?

Previously on ... and on.

Julie's outfit tonight

 Finally ... Day 79. The houseguests are in the living room with Felicia and Blue in the nominee seats. Time for the veto meeting. Jag is the invisible HOH. Whoops. Cirie has to glide around the house and wave to her adoring fans. Blue runs the veto meeting.  She goes first and saves herself. She sits. The HOH narrator voice puts America in as Blue's replacement.

Jag saves Felicia with his veto. The mysterious voice puts Cory on the block with America. Keep in mind that we know Cory/America know that Jag is the invisible HOH because he told them. America cries. Cory understands.

America vows to go off on Jag and cries some more. Cory already sort of begins to campaign. He had only told America he would target Matt/Jag. America lies saying that they were not targeting them. Blue had told her.

Cirie is happy with the war between the duos started. She's ready to sit back with her popcorn and watch.

America is in bed with Cory, saying she knows she shouldn't just isolate herself. She knows it's her mouth that got them in trouble. Cory tries to give her advice. He doesn't want her to ruin her game. He doesn't want to go Scorched Earth on them; she does.

America turns to Blue for answers. She's hurt and betrayed. She tells Blue that Matt/Jag won't take her to the three. Blue tells her she was fighting for her life, brings up Jared.

Cirie must find a hiding place in the house and scare another houseguest. She scares Blue. Then has to stay in the pool for two hours. 100 laps in the backyard. Rescue a houseguest from their bad dream.

Cory talks to Blue. He talks about Jag putting Blue up as a target. If he stays and wins HOH, he will target Matt/Jag. In turn, Matt/Jag will target him the next week. Cory goes around pitching to all. The editing makes it look like Cory has a chance to stay. Cirie talks to Blue, then Felicia, about keeping him to fight Matt/Jag.

To the living room: BB Comic Week is over as is Cirie's punishment.

Cory: Misses Stevie, most incredible experience, thank you, must blow up one person's game (jokingly does)
America: Shout outs, OK, will go after the dumb blond and. Thanks Cory.

The votes to evict:
Matt - Cory
Bowie Jane - Cory
Jag - Cannot vote
Cirie - Cory
Felicia - Cory
Blue - Cory

Unanimous and expected. Cory goes to spend the week alone with Cameron. He expected it and hugs all. He thinks that nominating him was a smart move. He gets decent goodbye messages except from Blue.

Julie tells us it's Scaryverse's Johnny Mack Terror Dentist. Thursday is a second double eviction.

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Oct. 19

 

Facing the tragedy due to befall them.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bad Romances:
  • Well, Cory TRIED to make it a Waffle Wednesday, but it seems to no avail.
  • In his campaigning, he told different people different things almost as if he has forgotten they compare notes and retell everything.
  • He even put on his finale suit, walked around claiming to be an attorney needing three clients (votes).
  • Despite all of his endeavors to stay, it sounds like he has now totally given up.
  • He had a long camera talk with us.
  • He's tired. He's an introvert playing an extrovert's game. He's ready to go to jury.
  • He thinks Matt is playing the best game in the house.
  • Of course, America thinks it's all her fault that Cory is likely to go.
  • Well, yeah.
  • I do think the showmance put the spotlight on him.
  • America told him she wouldn't be putting up either Cirie or Felicia if she wins HOH.
  • Cory told her that it would be best to get Matt out before Jag.
  • America talked to Jag and apologized for her expletive thrown at him on Monday.
  • No, they aren't besties, nor will they be.
  • They each remain each other's biggest targets.
  • In other news, Bowie Jean got all upset hearing her name mentioned as a possible pawn.
  • You KNOW how Felicia reacted hearing that news.
  • She sat on the block five times, y'know.
  • Both Felicia and Cirie are not having it!
  • America and Cory sat around together for a good part of the day, refusing to join in with the rest of the house.
  • The rest of the house was once again who said what to whom, who I will target when I'm HOH and ad nauseum.
  • Cory should be evicted tonight, probably another unanimous vote.
  • Tonight's show is supposed to start at 9:15PM ET.
  • Laters!

Thinks he's a mastermind?

Not the comp beast people think he is.

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

Dynamic duo?

The Amazing Race 35: The Day Keeps Rockin' Here in Vietnam - Ep. 4 - Blog Party

 

I will be live-blogging and updating this post constantly as the show airs here on the East Coast. I do ask for your patience as I am still getting used to the teams. Refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real blog party is in the comments. I hope to see you there!

You can check out photos and names of the teams on this post I made a while back.

Since the teams are on a continuation of the Vietnam leg, SueGee had a week off from updating this blog pool!

Ashlie & Todd -- Dr Celine, NanaintheNW, SueGee
Greg & John -- Brent McKee, Jackie, Judi Sweeney
Jocelyn & Victor -- Cherry Pie, chrob61, Nora M
Joe & Ian -- Cookie Jar, Michelle, Pearl
Joel & Garrett -- ChicMc, Ethan, Willie J, Jasonuwp
Liam & Yeremi -- Andi, KathyB, monty924, Skyriverblue
Malaina & Andrea -- Cheryl in NC, CherylNY, Debbie
Morgan & Lena -- Bizaro22, Debbie in FL, Krysta
Robbin & Chelsea -- Indiana Jane, KelseyNY, MikesGirl
Rob & Corey -- marthalight, PDX Granny, Sharon N
Steve & Anna Leigh -- David, Donna in FL, Glenn Allen

Are you ready? Let's GO!

After the Previously On, they travel by cab where a barista serves coffee and the next clue.

That clue is a Detour. Stand or Deliver. Inland fishery properly display seafood, their stall must match the vendors. Deliver has them delivering four mattresses (66 pounds each) and deliver to a motel.

Stand detour

Steve and Anna Leigh are rushing through the Stand, other teams are having problems with the weight of the mattresses as well as directions. Teams are working together now at mattresses and over at Stand, Anna Leigh is freaking out about live eels.

Anna Leigh and Steve make it through the Detour first. The clue directs them to a pagoda to make a wish. Joel/Garrett finish the mattresses.

Anna Leigh/Steve at the pagoda for the wish card. They wish they are number one for the day. The clue they get tells them to travel by taxi for the next clue. Aw, Garrett/Joel find notes from home as they are at the wish card.

Rob/Corey and Ashlie/Todd finish the Delivery.

Roadblock - Who wants to play matchmaker? They are at a temple. Thousands of red tiles on the stairs, only 11 of one kind. Must find one of them going around with a picture.

Morgan/Elena and Chelsea/Robbin finish the fish.

Phil and the mat are waiting in the temple with the Roadblock. More teams are arriving for the Roadblock. It turns out their clue photos differ. Anna Leigh has an issue with Chelsea as she won't work with her. 

Pit Stop Order:
1. Chelsea/Robbin - win trip for two to Madrid, Spain.
2. Steve/Anna Leigh
3. Todd/Ashlie
4. Joe/Ian
5. Rob/Corey
6. Liam/Yeremi
7. Malaina/Andrea
8. Greg/John
9. Joel/Garrett
10. Morgan/Lena
11. Jocelyn/Victor - Philiminated. Aw, I liked them. 

Survivor 45: Music to My Ears - Ep. 4 - Blog Party

 


Good evening! According to the promos tribes will be shifting some tonight, but not an actual merge. They had to do something with Lulu down so low so early.

A separate post for The Amazing Race will magically appear at about 9:25PM ET. So, please shift over to that post for that show. Merci!

I will be live blogging the show the best I can. Keep in mind that these castaways are still kind of new to me, and I may have issues with the names! Refresh this page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. You can refer to my cheat sheet casting post that has photos to check on your pick!

Belo – Blue Tribe – Fijian word for Heron

Brando --- Jasonuwp, Marthalight, MikesGirl
Bruce --- Krysta, Skyriverblue
Jake --- Donna in FL, TS14Fan
Katurah --- Donna NY, April W
Kellie --- Michelle, Bizaro22
Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC

Lulu – Yellow Tribe – Fijian word for Owl

Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie
Kaleb --- CherylNY, Cookie Jar
Sean --- Auntie Leigh, David

Reba – Red Tribe – Fijian word for Goshawk

Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N
Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee
Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924
Maya --- Petals, Glenn Allen, Nickelpeed
Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready?

Sitting out the previously on segment. Sabiyah got the boot again.

Lulu - Night 7. The lonely three return from Tribal. Kaleb is appreciative. However, Sean was blindsided. He feels at the bottom. He certainly is with his other two tribe members.

They're going to meet up with Jeff already. Jeff says it's the most shock he's seen when they saw that Sabiyah had been voted out. They knew she was a real strong player.

"Drop your buffs. We are switching tribes."

Day 8. Say goodbye to your old buffs. Jeff passes around to all with a tray of wrapped buffs. I probably won't be able to get all the new tribes in live. But I'll do what I can. Nope, not happening. I will add to this post later tonight. Each of the Lulu ended up on separate tribes.

The new tribes

Day 8 Lulu - Bruce is not a happy dude. He has a breakdown of a sort as he's in the same place he was when he was medivac exited. Kaleb is on the tribe, Jake, too. Katurah is digging for information about the trip three took. It turns out that Jake had wanted to work with Kaleb before. It's not a full-fledged trust yet, but ...!

Day 8 Belo - Brando, Austin, Drew, Emily and one more. Emily is taking a quieter approach. Emily shares the melting idol Sabiyah bit with them. Drew thinks she's kind of normal. 

Day 8 Reba - Sean is thrilled to be with them and he has stories to tell. He is in with four original Reba members. Sifu, Julie, J Maya, Dee. J Maya goes off with Sean. The others decide to search his bag for an idol. They find nothing. J Maya tells Sean that they think Sifu might have an idol and is a blindside choice. Julie thinks Sean should be out first, but J Maya tries to convince them to keep Sean.

Belo Day 9 - Emily is worried about her spot in the tribe. Austin and Drew talk. They have an idol, good will advantage and a vote advantage. Austin doesn't want Emily voted off first. He wants her on their side. She is the swing vote, so popular. Drew hopes to work with Julie, Dee, Austin and Emily after the merge.

Lulu - Kellie feels okay with her new tribe. Bruce tells her she is his number one. They want to pull Kaleb in with them. Katurah is suspicious. She gets Kaleb only mainly so she can tell him how dangerous Bruce is. She is really annoyed by Bruce. Kaleb is eating up the intel. Now he must decide which trail to take.

Day 9 Immunity Challenge time! Swim to cage, climb, leap in, haul heavy cage back, dig one person out of cage, first tribe with three balls in their three baskets wins. Lulu in the lead.

LULU wins Immunity (and gets flint for the first time). BELO wins 2nd place! Reba will go to Tribal Council.

Lulu is hugging and celebrating. Kaleb is thrilled. Bruce tries to trick them that he lost the flint, but he didn't. He's glad he's not Sean.

On Reba, Sean is crushed that they lost. He's deflated. He talks to Sifu. He tells him he is loyal. Sifu tells us he thinks they have to be Reba Strong. He thinks if Sean stays, the target will shift to him. Meanwhile, the women talk. J Maya is still pushing for a Sifu exit. Dee agrees. Julie is hesitant to lose someone so strong right now. She hates the idea.

The women talk to Sean about blindsiding Sifu. They will tell Sifu that they are voting out Sean. Sifu is worried that he might be being played. They head off to Tribal. Sean has been to every Tribal Council so far this season.

Tribal Council Night 9. Jeff brings up the four of them on the tribe. (The women warned Sean they would talk Reba Strong.) Jeff points out that Sean would be an easy vote. Julie thinks Sean tried but they have family. Sean tries to plead his case. Sifu says he feels Sean has positive energy. Sean tells Jeff he has experiences a ton of failure, but failure helps one grow. He tells the tale of growing up Mormon (he's gay) and Survivor has helped him regain his lost time. Uh-oh. He says his dream is at home and asks them to write his name down. He wants to be with his husband.

Time to vote.

The tally: Sifu, Sean, Dee, Sean, Sean.

He gets his wish.

BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - Oct. 18

 

I swear he's gotten paler all season.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother house of Waltzing Matildas:
  • My apologies for not posting an update yesterday. Blogger updated and my computer decided to argue with the update. By the time it was straightened out, it was time for the show.
  • Back to after the renominations, I have a few things to say.
  • First off, America went crying under the covers.
  • Cory, who told her he would sacrifice his game for her to stay, went off trying to talk to people and start campaigning.
  • America eventually talked to Cory telling him he should stay.
  • Jag wanted to talk to both of them. As a matter of fact, he wanted both of them to talk with himself, Blue and Matt.
  • When America went to the bathroom where Matt and Jag were lounging, Jag said, "When you're ready, I'd like to talk to you."
  • All America said was, "Eff off." and walked away.
  • She did say a different word, but I try to keep this blog family friendly.
  • She avoided all for hours.
  • Felicia and Cirie went to talk to her on separate occasions to console her a bit.
  • Cory cuddled with her in between his campaign efforts.
  • Both think Cory is the target. And ... he is.
  • Felicia and Cirie, despite their issues with each other a week ago, are back together as a not so power-duo. 
  • Although often Matt's champion, Cirie pointed out to Felicia that Matt and Jag will always be most faithful to each other. After all, Matt saved Jag in the game.
  • Cory told America he is definitely the target this week and she should work on building relationships with others to strengthen her game.
  • She, of course, thinks he's the target and it's all her fault.
  • Well, in a way it is. She started the showmance and, if she could win comps, she would be the target. 
  • Her mouth and attitude are problems. But they worry more about Cory's game knowledge and sneakiness.
  • They did get the smaller table. That was long overdue.
  • Cirie had a few superhero tasks assigned -- she had to spend two hours in the pool to test the suit and almost immediately after getting out had to take 100 laps around the yard.
  • She made them walking laps.
  • Cirie talked to America, misting her for the vote if she makes it that far.
  • Plus, Cirie has been making comments about how nasty everyone is getting and how she just wants to keep away from it.
  • She offered America her shoulder to cry on or if she just wants some down time, she's always welcome.
  • That's about it.
  • Laters!


I SO won't miss the showmance!

Cirie - 100 laps around the backyard!

And Bowie kept smiling.

Like Cam before, Jag CANNOT win all the comps!

Cirie mists America

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 17


Good evening! Make sure you have your beverages and snacks nearby. Tonight's show is supposed to run 15 minutes longer than usual. My apologies for not posting live feeds today. Blogger had some kind of update and caused me issues. I'm lucky to get here now!

We have Blue and Felicia on the block. The twist has two veto comps with two separate veto holders. Will someone or some two win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees or even both? Live feed followers already know, but shhh ... not here until it airs.

I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. I'll be updating regularly -- please refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Sitting through the Previously On segment.

The action picks up after nominations. Jag tells us that he didn't want to go after Cory/America because he and Matt would be the only "couple" left in the house. Felicia and Blue are both angry. Felicia is on the block for the 5th time and says this is a wasted HOH.

Jag wants Blue to think the invisible HOH is Cory. Blue thinks Jag is the only one who could have done the comp so fast. Cory and America were told by Jag that he's the HOH. Matt also knows. No one else does. Felicia approaches both Cory and Jag and asks if she or Blue is the real target.

Felicia's gut tells her Jag is the HOH. Cory says if he wins next week, he will put Matt and Jag on the block. They think they are safe for this week and trust Matt/Jag. 

America doesn't want Blue to go this week. She tells Blue she's the target. Blue does not think Matt/Jag would ever go after her and does not believe America.

The Comic globe is lighting and making a whomp-whomp sound. Another transmission. The BB Power of Multiplicity, multiplying the number of veto players - 8 playing. Two veto comps being played. Two different houseguests will win a POV.

Matt talks to Blue. She wants him to save her, so rats out Cory and America for trying to recruit her. She tells all. Matt tells us he doesn't want to work with C/A if they are not going to protect them. Blue tells him she's loyal to him and Jag. Then she goes to Jag and tells him.

Now Jag is reconsidering. He wants to win the veto. Blue wants to win the veto. Felicia wants to win the veto. There are two vetoes to be won, not three.

The comp is BB Superhero Academy. An endurance competition with them standing on a small disk suspended by a rope and spun around while being battered. There is a cash bonus for winning, too.


Felicia down first. Bowie Jane down. Cirie down, threw it because she doesn't want to decide between saving Felicia or Blue. Cory down. Matt down. America throws it because she is sure she's safe. It's down to Jag and Blue. To commercial after a Jag DR session saying he wants to win because he doesn't want to expose himself as the HOH -- despite Matt, America and Cory already knowing because he told them.

43 minutes have gone by and they are still up. One hour now. One hour and 17 minutes. One hour 32 minutes. One hour 44 minutes. Two hours. Blue down at 2 hours 6 minutes. JAG wins veto!

Jag must test his power of flight and hold onto a bar flying around the academy. The others must guess the flight time with the winner closest to the actual time. The two furthest from the time will receive punishments. Every 15 seconds he wins $500 dollars. He wins $3,500.

BLUE wins veto!

Felicia and Cirie get the punishments. Felicia can choose the first crystal. She gets 24 hours solitary. Cirie gets Superhero Quick Change. Every time the academy asks she must change into her superhero outfit in the phone booth.

Jag tells us he will have to change the nominations. Cory and America should be scared.

Matt and Jag talked. Jag tells Matt they need to get out either Cory or America. He doesn't know if he wants one up or both. Plus, he has to talk to Blue because he's lied to her about being the individual HOH.

Felicia gets sent to her isolation. She has a tarped over toilet, water bottles, PB&J sandwich makings. She isn't happy not being able to talk to people or campaign for safety.

Cirie gets her punishment. She has her costume. Her first test is rolling from one side of the yard to the other and rolling back. She has a week of this. Super balance tested standing on one leg in the living room for 30 minutes, standing under the outdoor shower, x-ray vision guessing what's under the cover on the tray. They put all kinds of things under it, including condoms. She kept guessing fiber gummies.

Jag talks to Cory/America. Cory suggests Cirie going up. Then Jag tells Matt he wants to put up both Cory and America up. He won't be telling them because he will be breaking their trust the minute he does it anyway.

Felicia cleaned the whole comic room in isolation is done and she is released after her 24 hours. Jag talks to her. He tells her that he's the HOH. He tells Cirie, too. He tells Bowie Jane. He tells Felicia he will save her and put up Cory and America. He tells everyone except Cory/America. Oh ... and Blue.

He talks to Blue, telling her that Cory/America poisoned him against her. She accepts it well and hugs him in joy about them going on the block.

And ... we end on a cliffhanger ...

BB25: Live Feeds Monday Veto Meeting - Oct. 16

 

Matt's Breakfast of Champions

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of What's a Secret?:

  • By the time the veto meeting was held (it's going on now as I get this written up), everybody except Cory and America were told of the plan to renom said Cory and America.
  • Even they seemed to sense something was afoot.
  • Jag told Felicia the plan when she got out of isolation yesterday.
  • She jumped for joy and did a whole lot of hugging.
  • Felicia and Blue mended fences.
  • They want the final five to be themselves, Matt, Jag and Cirie.
  • Cirie continues to just listen a lot, nod her head and stay out of drama.
  • However, America is going around saying how worried Cirie is that she will be going on the block and get evicted. She's begging them in her campaign to stay ... according to America, that is.
  • In reality, nothing of the sort is occurring.
  • Unlike Jag, Cirie knows to keep quiet.
  • I'm actually surprised that Jag didn't feel the need to "warn" Cory and America.
  • The plan, of course, is that Blue will save herself with her veto and Jag will take down Felicia with his veto.
  • The plan is to renom America first, then Cory.
  • Of the two (America and Cory), Cory is the target because they think he has more game knowledge than America. They think she will sink without him.
  • Now I'm just waiting out the feed blockage to make sure it did indeed go down as planned.
  • Yes, he did it.
  • After a two-hour feeds block, we're back.
  • Cory and America seem to be hiding under the covers.
  • Blue, Matt and Jag are talking rehashing events leading up to the move and Cory/America's protests.
  • Cory and America are on the block.
  • Waffle Wednesday won't matter much. One or the other will go home. 

Block boy toy.

He actually did it!

Both of us?!?!

BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 15

 

Good evening! Tonight we will see the HOH comp and its new HOH winner with the power of Invisibility. I'm thinking we should also be seeing the nominations as well. However, they are messing around with stuff this season. I could be wrong.

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!

Just a quick programming note -- Tuesday's POV show, scheduled at 8PM ET/PT, is expected to be an hour and 15 minutes long.

Tonight's show in some markets isn't starting until 10:12PM ET due to football. Grr.

Hamster watchers ready?

Skipping to my lou through the "Previously On" segment. 

Julie mentions the ComicVerse and we see the thing crashed into the HOH room. BB Comics, always a veto comp, will have its first run at an HOH comp. Cirie tells us with Cam gone they can say goodbye to the Kumbaya.

They get a message; a space crystal has crashed into the house. It will change the course of events in the house this week. The first power is the Invisible HOH. No one will know unless the winner divulges. Since no one knows, the HOH will be able to play in the next HOH comp.

Leave it to America to mention no HOH wine. Jag, Cory and America agree to tell each other if they win. But Jag tells us he thinks otherwise -- it may be the week to go after Cory and America. Cirie and Felicia think they are both probably safe. They think bigger targets will be targeted.

Cirie really wants to win this one. Um, okay. She doesn't know how physical the comp ahead will be.

To the comp! Felicia is up first. It is the traditional zipline comp. The times will be announced but only the winner will know he or she won. Matt up next. His time not said. Blue up next. No time said. Cory up next. Then to commercial. So far only Felicia's time was announced. I listed it below.

Cirie's turn. She is having a rough time of it. Jag's turn. America is up next. Commercial time again.

Felicia -18:40

Everyone was told their times during the comp but we weren't. The winning time was 8:30. Immediately after, no one is admitting it. Blue tells America she got 15:24. America doesn't believe her. Cirie thinks it's Jag or Matt. Felicia thinks either them or Cory.

Bowie is also suspicious of Blue. Matt enters the room with Blue and Bowie Jane. He tells them he thinks it might be him and Jag going up on the block.

Jag and Cory are suspicious of Blue, too. Matt, too. Heck, no one is even telling us on the show! Ah, finally Jag tells us and Matt! Jag is the HOH. He tells Jag that if he puts up Blue and someone else, then tell America/Cory they will be loyal to him. He can play in the HOH comp next week because he's "invisible." He thinks if he breaks them up, then the only targets will be himself and Matt.

He tells America/Cory about it. They are a bit leery because he kept it secret overnight. He tells us his only choices are Felicia, Blue and Cirie. Hey ... what about Bowie Jane, I say?

Time for the nomination ceremony. They sit in the kitchen with a voice over the PA system. Nominated are Felicia and Blue. Felicia is tired of being on the block, even if a pawn. She thinks the invisible HOH had such a chance to make a big move. Blue thinks the HOH is either Cory or America.

BB25: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - Oct. 15

Jag tells Cirie the plan.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lines Will Be Drawn:

  • Remember ... there were two veto comps with two individual veto winners.
  • Blue and Felicia are on the block with Jag being not so invisible HOH winner. 
  • Blue is Jag's target.
  • Blue, Cirie, Felicia and Bowie Jane do not know Jag won HOH.
  • Blue is CERTAIN that either America or Cory won it. After all, she has undying loyalty to Matt and Jag.
  • She went to Matt and Jag (and Cirie and Felicia) throwing Cory/America under that good old reality bus, telling them all that C/A have been saying about them.
  • In effect, she probably blew up her own game.
  • Both Cirie and Felicia think it might be Jag who won HOH but aren't certain.
  • Matt/Jag are working with Cory/America. Don't ask me why.
  • Back to the veto stuff! ALL houseguests played in the first veto comp. 
  • I'm not sure how they handled who would play in the second comp.
  • The first comp had them spinning. Blue won the first one.
  • I'm not sure of the second comp but I know Jag won it.
  • In the first comp it sounds like the first two out got punishments.
  • Who were the first two out? Why, Cirie and Felicia, of course. The physical comps really don't favor older players!
  • Felicia got 24 hours isolation, confined to the Comic Room with a portable toilet covered in a blue tarp. She can eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 
  • Keep in mind that the same sort of isolation punishment set Dan Gheesling's famous funeral speech in motion!
  • Cirie has to wear her superhero suit and, on command, roll the length of the backyard and back.
  • It sounds like (or they think) that the first veto winner will use (or not) the veto first, then the second veto winner.
  • So, Blue will first use her veto to save herself, leaving Felicia on the block.
  • Whatever will Jag do next?
  • Matt is adamant that Cirie cannot/should not go on the block.
  • Jag agrees.
  • What to do? What to do?
  • Neither Jag nor Matt is keen on leaving Felicia on the block.
  • Hmm.
  • After much consideration, Jag finally makes the right decision.
  • Break up the showmance -- get Cory and America on the block together.
  • He tells Cirie that he won HOH and that America/Cory poisoned him against Blue, his original target in the nominations.
  • He tells her the plan was never to send Felicia out the door.
  • Later on, Matt confirms it with Cirie.
  • Then it's the tricky part ... telling Blue.
  • He once again blamed Cory and America for turning him against her with lies and admitted he was the HOH.
  • Now, if all goes down as planned, at tomorrow's veto meeting, it will be America and Cory on the block.
  • They know that Jag is HOH.
  • The target is Cory.
  • He (finally) said he doesn't care. He will get the "blood on his hands."
  • As a side note, the Tuesday episode will 45 minutes instead of a half-hour.
  • Laters!

Blue feels vindicated.

Felicia's isolation room with porta-potty.

Jag lets his hair down and makes a move.

This should be over by Thursday! Yay!

Drop and roll Super Cirie!

BB25: Live Feeds Saturday, Power of Veto Comps - Oct. 14

 

Sometimes the pawn goes home.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Discombobulated Donkeys:

  • Wait! Did I just call them jackasses? How rude of me!
  • Wait! What's with the "Power of Veto CompS" in the title?
  • Yep. That's the twist -- two separate POV comps, two separate POV winners.
  • Well, maybe one person could win both. Although, from what they've been saying it sounds like the winner of the first comp will sit out the second one.
  • Everybody plays in the first veto comp.
  • Not sure on the second one.
  • So, with the two comps and the probable veto player pick for the second one (maybe), the feeds are down for most of the day.
  • I won't be posting this entry until I have the results.
  • But first ... a bit from before the feeds went down.
  • The feeds went down around 2:45PM ET, enough time for a bit of drama for the mamas.
  • Blue is SURE that either America or Cory won HOH and put her on the block.
  • She's made the rounds asking Matt and Jag to save her with the veto if one of them wins it.
  • They nodded their heads.
  • Blue told Matt and Cirie that she's a better competitor than Felicia.
  • Um, well. No. Felicia did win an HOH even if it was a crap shoot one.
  • Blue hasn't won a comp yet.
  • Jag has told just about everybody except the nominees and Cirie he won the secret HOH.
  • Way to go, Jag!
  • Why can't ANYONE this season other than Cirie keep their mouths shut?
  • Meanwhile, although Jag is dead-set on targeting her, Blue had been super loyal to him.
  • She wants to target Cory.
  • Matt is getting a bit better at being devious. He told Felicia that he's worried that either he or Jag will go on the block if the veto is used.
  • Jag told Bowie he would throw the veto to her if it's the both of them at the end.
  • Like she would want that! She didn't want her HOH and tried to throw it.
  • That will just make her throw it well before the end.
  • 9:40PM ET, the feeds return. 
  • Matt, Cirie, America and Cory seen, none wearing the veto necklace.
  • It sounds like the first comp was physical, perhaps standing or swinging on ropes.
  • I THINK Matt started to say to Cory that Jag ... but the feeds immediately cut.
  • I'm not even sure both comps were played.
  • Still waiting for the feeds to re-return.
  • They're back. Neither Blue nor Bowie Jane wearing the necklace. The POV necklace is next to Blue's bed, though.
  • Jag's arm or shoulder is sore.
  • Cory made some comment that they're screwed now.
  • Oh my, could the first POV be won by BLUE?
  • Bowie Jane said to Blue and Jag that they both looked like they were never going to fall.
  • So, it's one or the other.
  • Sidenote: They use Wonder bread in the BB House. It helps a body grow 12 ways, y'know.
  • Blue won the first POV comp. I think it was the first one. I may be wrong.
  • UPDATE: Jag won the other veto comp.
  • Felicia has some sort of punishment locked in the Comic Room for 24 hours with a tent around her toilet.
  • Laters.
She finally put the necklace on.

And Bowie Jane keeps on smiling.

Matt's getting a bit better at lying.

Why don't you get a bullhorn and announce it?

Is SURE that Cory or America is HOH!
