BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Nov. 2

 

Felicia vacuums while Jag eats a banana.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Final Whatevers:

• Nothing much has changed since my last update.
• Cirie knows that Jag has promised both her and Felicia his vote.
• She feels she is likely to go.
• Cirie told Felicia if she makes it to the final two, she will give her her vote and rally the jury to do the same. 
• Both women packed their bags.
• Since Felicia has been packing every week for well over a month, hers was easier.
• Cirie pointed out to Matt that Jag wants her out because she's close to Matt and, inevitably, it's a sign that Jag will soon target Matt himself once he no longer has anyone in his corner.
• While she is certainly no comp beast, Cirie has played the social game to the hilt. She observes. She listens.
• I think it's time the comp beasts stopped ruling over BB. 
• This season was a delight in so many hamsters over 40. However, the comps didn't change -- many were still geared for 20-somethings.
• The twists this season could sink or swim ... oh, they sunk for sure.
• Jared. No, he was not an asset to Cirie in the game. He was pretty much the opposite.
• The horrible Zombie Week -- worst and most boring EVER in BB history.
• Even going ahead and holding eviction of another player the week Luke got the boot. Had Kirsten stayed, things might have been different -- at least you wouldn't have so many returning players!
• Oh, well.
• Tonight we should see Cirie go.
• Sigh.

Cirie packs her bag.

I'm not cooking for them!

Sure she will make final two.

Worried Jag will go to final two with Bowie Jane

The Amazing Race 35: Driving Head-On Into Scooters - Ep. 6 Blog Party

 

Tonight we will see what happens with the mandatory blind vote U-Turn. Eep!

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

Lifeguard SueGee has once again updated the blog pool and here's where we stand going into tonight's show:

Ashlie & Todd -- Dr Celine, NanaintheNW, SueGee

Greg & John -- Brent McKee, Jackie, Judi Sweeney

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!

Sitting out Previously On ... of course.

The teams seem to be all over the map choosing teams for the mandatory U-Turn. They vote before heading out.

They have to go to a shoe store #32 and get their next clue. Hawa Mahal is where it is. Most Instagrammed building in India. Look into the windows with a telescoping monocular to look into the windows for the next clue. Steve and Anna Leigh get the clue. They have to travel on foot there.

Once there, they get a clue to choose an electric rickshaw driven by women. They have to help get it out of a jammed parking lot first.

They head to the Detour with the rickshaw, the votes are in. One team will have to do both tasks on the Detour. Anna Leigh and Steve see themselves on the U-Turn.

Detour - Bundles or Bricks. Decorative flowers bundle up variety of flowers, pack up in rickshaw, deliver two places, get receipts. Bricks have to pick up bricks, sand and gravel and get delivery receipt.

Greg and John are in 2nd place at the Detour. But, technically first place as Steve and Anna Leigh are U-Turned. Anna Leigh/Steve finish up the Bundles Detour quickly and are headed to the next one. Meanwhile other teams are still arriving at the monocular clue.

Uh-oh. Steve and Anna Leigh didn't hand in their Bundle receipts and have to go back to do it. 

Greg/John finish the Detour first and get their clue. Then Ashlie/Todd. The brothers Yeremi and Liam are lost.

Greg/John travel by rickshaw, pick a bolt of fabric and a clue. Rob/Corey are in 2nd place. Greg/John - Jaipur Mahal by rickshaw to get next clue.

Roadblock - Who likes to play with blocks? Must print nine peacocks with blocks. Greg/John finish first and must race to the Pit Stop.

Anna Leigh and Steve found out some of the teams who U-Turned them as they are at the Roadblock.

Pit Stop Order:

1. Greg/John - Also won trip for two to New Zealand

2. Rob/Corey

3. Joel/Garrett

4. Morgan/Lena

5. Todd/Ashlie

6. Malaina/Andrea

7. Steve/Anna Leigh

8. Robbin/Chelsea

9. Yeremi/Liam -- Last place, Philiminated

I will be live blogging the show the best I can. 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. Here's where we stand:

Belo – Blue Tribe – Fijian word for Heron

Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC

Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie

Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N

Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924

Lulu – Yellow Tribe – Fijian word for Owl

Reba – Red Tribe – Fijian word for Goshawk

Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee
Maya (J) --- Petals, Glenn Allen, Nickelpeed
Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready? 

Sitting out the Previously On segment. Whoops! There goes Brando!

We start with Belo returning to the camp. Emily feels part of a team for once. Kendra was blindsided. She wants revenge on Emily but is putting a happy face on for the tribe.

Lulu Day 12. Bruce has a Beware advantage which he finds in front of the others on his tribe. He loses his vote. They all ran to camp. Bruce wants Katurah to not find the idol and is with everyone else but her. Whoops, there she comes! Jake fakes losing a ring. 

A boat arrives at Belo. Drop your buffs, they will be taken to their new home. Reba gets drop your buffs, new people will be arriving soon. Lulu also have the note. Bruce FINDS what he's looking for! He tells Kellie, Kaleb and Jake about finding it.

The two boats are on their way to the Reba camp. Dee is happy to see Drew and Austin. So many are reuniting. Kaleb is thrilled to be back with Emily and is happy that she is doing better. They are the only two Lulu left. They all get a feast!    

Kendra is acting a bit wacky about things. Is she trying to channel her inner Carolyn from last season. Kendra gets with Bruce, tells all she knows. Emily is regretting the comments she made to Bruce at the start of the game. Bruce acts like he accepts her apologies but tells us he will get her.     

Austin is still thinking sandwiches. He still wants revenge on J and the other one there. His idol will expire after this tribal council unless he loses his vote. Julie thinks J will cut them as soon as she can. Drew thinks it's time to elevate themselves to the new stage of the game.

GAH -- a Lindor CHRISTMAS AD. Too early! Too early! EEK! A Kohls Christmas commercial. Make them STOP!

Day 13 and it's pouring. Sifu loves it. He's probably the only one. Emily and Kaleb are really clicking all over again. Kaleb gets more intel from Belo. Emily tries working more on Bruce. No one is talking to him. Kendra does, though. Bruce thinks Kaleb is floating around with everyone. He tries talking to his old Belo. Then he talks to Kaleb. Kaleb does not appreciate Bruce's advice not to talk to others. Kaleb talks to Kellie who agrees with him. She's over Bruce.

Immunity Challenge time! Jeff takes back the tribal idols. There is no individual immunity yet because they haven't reached that stage. Randomly divided intotwo groups of sixc, threw mud, to cart, push cart, sandbags, top of tower, keys, slide down, work together to top of big boulder, two puzzles. First team to finish earns merge buff, merge meal and immunity from the first tribal council. One too many. That one will bet on a team. 

Blue and Red. Katurah has no color. She bets on Blue. If they win, she will join them. If they lose, she will join them.

RED

BLUE

BLUE wins Immunity and the merge meal. Someone on Red will go home tonight. They will still vote tonight at Tribal but cannot be voted out.

The Blue team is having a ball at the Sanctuary. Drew, Julie, Sifu, Bruce, Austin, Katurah. Sifu wants J out because she wrote down his name. Of course, it was Dee. Kendra thinks Kaleb is dangerous.  

On Red, Jake is nervous. J tells Jake that Kaleb needs to go. She's on high alert about him. Dee tells Jake she wants to vote out J. Kellie is happy with a J choice.

Day 13. Red people are all worried. Katurah talks to them about J. She thinks Kaleb is strong but she wants J out. Bruce thinks they should be voting out social butterfly Kaleb. Uh-oh ... Drew is up for it. Although Austin wants J out, he thinks it might be best to get rid of Kaleb. Emily wants to save her only ally Kaleb. Uh-oh.

Emily warns Kaleb. Kaleb tells Drew Bruce has an idol. He lets Austin know. They are walking off to Tribal.

Tribal Council Night 13. Jeff asks Drew about what happened yesterday. Drew says there is still a lot of instability. Emily thinks she squashed the issue with Bruce. J says yesterday was overwhelming. Kaleb says he's an optimist, may be a big threat but not a big strategic threat. Is there a Lulu curse? Ohh ... Kaleb tells them the most dangerous threat would be J. Oh my. 

Time to vote.

J votes "Caleb." Austin is not voting to extend his idol into a real idol.

The tally: Whoa! Kaleb plays his Shot in the Dark. Jeff opens it. Kaleb is SAFE! J is NOT happy.

Back to the tally: Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb. ALL the votes were for Kaleb. No more shot in the darks can play. They have to revote. J wants Emily out, Bruce tells Emily he wants J out. J is really pushing the Emily. Uh-oh.

Revote time. Emily votes J. J votes Emily.

The tally: J, Emily, J, J, J, J, J ... six is enough.

J is gone, my blog pool random pick Emily remains and they have now all made the merge.

TWO people are going home next week.

BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday - Nov. 1

 

Boo! They had pumpkins to carve.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go:

• In the morning, Felicia and Cirie made amends. They apologized to each other for throwing each other under various buses and everything.
• They hugged and vowed to be true friends forever.
• "Wait until you meet my son, he's just like Jared!"
• Heh.
• Much of the waking hours of the day were spent prepping for the big Halloween party planned by BB in the evening.
• That, of course, was blocked to the live feeds.
• They probably had music.
• BB left them all kinds of costumes and costume accessories in the storage room.
• Ony Cirie and Felicia really went to town with the costumes.
• Felicia's costume gave me Geraldine (Flip Wilson) vibes. If you're old enough, you will see it, too!
• Matt did put on a blond wig.
• Jag and Bowie had capes on. Jag couldn't wear a wig due to his turban. I don't know Bowie Jane's excuse.
• Jag did have a pig nose and fake glasses on at one point. I found that fitting.
• Matt had a clown nose and fake glasses on for a while.
• They carved pumpkins.
• I don't know if BB is pushing the Reilly/Matt thing what with the HOH photos and letter from her or what, but Matt carved a pumpkin with R 💘 M. Give me a break!
• When setting up the pumpkins in the HOH room for a camera shot, Jag only wanted their three pumpkins, not Felicia's or Cirie's in the shot. Grr.
• But, on the other hand, Jag wanted to split the beers they got five ways while Bowie Jane and Matt fussed about that.
• They got their way.
• After so much together time, Cirie and Felicia went downstairs to spend the rest of the evening together while the other three stayed in the HOH room talking about how great they are.
• The Operation Paranoia or Pressure Cracker plans seemed to be put on hold for the most part due to the Halloween festivities.
• But they plan to continue tomorrow.
• Bowie wants to tell Felicia she's going home so she will stop studying.
• I'm looking at some of the stuff Jag, Matt and Bowie are studying. Um. I think they're getting a bit too intricate and might miss the big picture if it is a memory comp.
• Laters. 👻

Mr. B left them costumes and accessories.

Why is Felicia giving me Geraldine vibes?

Cirie looks good in purple.

The Reilly/Matt one-week fauxmance?

Jag wore a cape, no wig.

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 31

 

Good evening! Happy Halloween!

We have Cirie and Felicia on the block this week. Will they still be on the block by the end of the show? Hmm ... (live feed followers, don't tell!) 

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!

Skipping out on the Previously On even though the narrator is doing it in a Halloweeny voice. We're up to Jag wanting to target Cirie. It's time for Halloween on Big Brother.

We pick up the action after Nominations. Matt wants Cirie to still be here next week even though he thinks his path to the end is with Jag and Bowie Jane. Cirie is suspicious of Matt.

Felicia has been on the block seven times now. Jag, of course, would rather her stay over Cirie. Felicia meets up with Matt who tells her she is not his target. Ah, but she is his target. He lies to Felicia and tells her Bowie Jane is his target.

Matt doesn't like lying. He tells Jag the only one he really trusts in him. Oh, they need a name with the Bowie Jane added in -- the Mafia. They create hand signals. Mafia versus the Mamas.

Cirie and Felicia know their games are in danger. Cirie is very upset with Matt and wants to avoid him while she's upset. The other three are hiding up in the HOH room away from him. Felicia mentions how Bowie Jane throughout the game has just followed the power. What happened to the final four with Jag, Matt, Cirie and Felicia?

Uh-oh. A segment on Felicia's feet. EW. She's on Cirie's bed messing with her toenails and callouses. "Did I give you an indication that was appropriate ... on my blanket? You know I hate feet!" Toenail dust on her spread.

Jag and Bowie Jane talk ... one of them this week, the other next. Jag tells us he would have a better chance to win with Bowie Jane rather than Matt. Bowie tells us she doesn't think she would win sitting next to Matt.

Felicia thinks if either Matt or Jag win the veto, one of them might be saved. Cirie doesn't think that's the case. She doesn't know whether she or Felicia is the target but knows one of them must be.

Once again, Jag talks anti-Cirie with Bowie Jane. He thinks he has a better chance with Felicia. Now they must change Matt's mind ... although he has no vote this week.

The veto comp -- Camp Veto. Terrifying abandoned summer camp. Build an antenna to call for help. Go through swamp, stack 25 pieces vertically on the base. When done, make a call.

JAG wins the Power of Veto! (Of course.)

Cirie and Felicia talk about the comp. Felicia didn't want Bowie Jane to win the veto. She thinks that Jag will save her with the veto and Bowie Jane will end up on the block. Cirie knows the veto will not be used. She just hopes that Matt will keep his word and she will be safe this week.

Matt, Jag and Bowie Jane talk. Matt still thinks that Felicia will go this week. Both Bowie Jane and Jag think Cirie gone would be better for their games.

Matt again promises Cirie that she's safe. But Cirie knows it's up to Jag and Bowie Jane will determine her fate in the game.

The Scary globe in the living room is glowing. They get mail -- a luxury comp, one will win $5,000. They each have stations throughout the house, give a treat or take a treat from any player in rounds. Most candy in the bucket wins a treat.

1. Remove 2 pieces of candy. Jag is taking from Cirie/Felicia. He wants Matt to win.

2. Give five pieces. 

3. Remove three pieces.

4. Give 4 treats.

5. Remove 2 pieces.

Felicia and Bowie Jane both have 9 pieces. Cirie has 10, Jag 12?, Matt 17.

Matt wins the five grand.

Jag once again lies to Cirie and says she's good. Her Cirie mist doesn't seem to be working. 

Time for the veto meeting. Surprise, surprise. Jag does NOT us the veto. Cirie and Felicia remain on the block. Jag is determined to get Matt on board with Cirie going this week.

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday - Oct. 31

 

That's right. Hide!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Is It Ever Going To End?:

• Nothing much has changed since yesterday's post.
• Matt and Jag joked about the "Pressure Cracker" or "Operation Paranoia" -- the plan to drive Felicia bonkers before the HOH so she will do poorly.
• Apparently, Mr. Comp Beast Jag can't go into the HOH comp with confidence that he will do well.
• Although it seems that Cirie deep down inside knows she will be leaving on Thursday, a part of her is clinging to the fact she might stay.
• She's looking forward to finale night and revealing the big Jared secret. "Hey, Felicia ... your favorite son is mine."
  
• Both Felicia and Cirie know that whichever one doesn't go this week is gone next.
• Of course, they both been told they're pawns.
• Cirie told Jag and Matt that Reilly had told her to trust them.
• Oh, boy ... how right was she?
• Not.
• Cirie also had kind words to Bowie.
• Jag saw right through it -- it's a ploy! It won't work with him!
• Felicia also confronted the group in the kitchen. She said she felt more like an outsider than she did before.
• Oh, no. Everything is okay. Wink-wink.
• They had the yard yesterday, maybe for the last time this season.
• Jag and Matt talked at length about how great the Minutemen alliance is and how they will be remembered in BB history.
• Well, mainly for other meanings of the name, but ...!
• They certainly are no hitmen. Unlike Cody taking Derrick to the end, Jag plans to cut Matt and go there against Bowie Jane.
• They divvied up Halloween candy.
• I would guess BB will do something for them today for Halloween.
• Laters!

It sounds like she's planning to keep the secret.

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

Close enough to slug him, Felicia!

Swimming is easier.

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday, Veto Meeting - Oct. 30

 

She who cried to stay off the block ...

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

• Okay, I'm irked.
• Particularly at Bowie Jane, but also at Jag. I'm just disappointed in Matt.
• Keep in mind, Bowie Jane CRIED to not be put on the block as a pawn.
• CRIED. Like real tears.
• So, what does she and Jag want to do?
• Well, their target to vote out this week is Cirie.
• According to Bowie Jane, Felicia is "acting too comfortable" and needs to be shaken up.
• They plan on basically gaslighting Felicia, keeping her awake and driving her crazy.
• And they're laughing at it.
• Matt is following right along with them.
• Jag is running Matt's HOH.
• Oh, but the three continue to let Felicia and Cirie cook for them.
• There is a mean-spiritedness that goes beyond what we usually see in the game.
• It's especially tough as they do have them cook for them, clean after them, refer to them as Mama C and Mama Fe.
• Is that the treatment they would want for their own mothers?
• Push them to the edge. Drive them crazy. Keep them awake. Then laugh about it.
• I know Jag is my blog pool random pick person.
• But I'm ready to disown him.
• He could have just continued to be good at winning comps without this meanness coming out. It's unnecessary.
• The feeds returned after a long block for the veto meeting.
• No one is talking about what happened.
• I'm sure Jag did not use the veto and Felicia/Cirie remain on the block.
• Both have been told they are not the target.
• Cirie is the target.

Matt the Follower

They are going to try to gaslight Felicia.

Not happy times.

Better off playing cards by themselves.

BB25: HOH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 29

 

Good evening! Tonight we will see the HOH comp that was held after last Thursday's double eviction. Due to football, the show will be starting ten minutes late.

I will be live blogging this show, constantly updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Finally, it's starting. I really don't care for the 10PM slot on Sunday nights at all. And, when it's delayed for sports coverage, I hate it even more. As per my usual, I'm sitting out the Previously On segment. Oh goody, we will get to see all the scrambling before the double. Dang, that's way old news by now!

Back to Blue pre-eviction. She knew she was being evicted. Well, we knew that because of the way she was dressed. Felicia told her. She went to Jag. He makes the excuse that he knew she wouldn't take him to the end. @@

Matt tells us they had to pull the trigger first as they knew she would be coming after them. She talks to Cirie, claiming she figured out that Jared was her son (even though he told her), and how honored she was to play with her.

Now we are up Bowie Jane being HOH. ALL OF THIS IS PAST HISTORY! I can't believe I have to be posting ridiculously late stuff that happened before last week's live show. Matt wins the POV again. The plan is to vote out America. She begs ... again. To no avail ... again.

Matt tells Jag and Cirie that Felicia must go next. Jag tells Matt that Felicia said Cirie and Matt were after him to get him out. Matt claims that Felicia and Cirie must want to drive a wedge between them. Matt and Cirie did discuss it. Cirie is shocked that Felicia talked when Felicia is the first one to mention Matt going up against Jag. 

Jag doesn't believe Felicia and can't trust Cirie. Matt tells us he now thinks Jag will take him to the final two.

HOH comp. The set has storefronts. Another cosmic crystal. Chaos turning heroes of BB Comics against each other. One at a time must roll energy orb at the target icon they say is a target.

Jag targets Felicia and misses. Felicia targets Jag, misses. Matt targets Felicia, misses. Cirie targets Jag, hits his first target (out of three). Jag misses Felicia. Felicia aims at Matt, gets him. Matt aims for Felicia, misses. Cirie gets Jag's second target. Jag once again misses Felicia. Felicia aims for Jag, gets herself. Matt gets himself. Cirie goes for Felicia, misses. Jag gets Felicia's first target. Matt gets Felicia's second target down. Jag goes for Cirie and we go to break.

Jag knocks out Felicia's last icon. Matt misses Cirie. Cirie misses Jag. Jag misses Cirie. Matt gets Cirie's first icon down. Cirie misses Jag. Jag gets Cirie's second icon down. Cirie knocks Jag out of the competition. Matt knocks Cirie's last one out and MATT IS THE NEW HOH!

Felicia knows everybody was gunning for her during the HOH comp. Jag is thrilled his bromance bud won. Cirie asks Matt not to put her up -- after all, he has promised her that he would never put her up on the block. He tells her he wants Felicia out.

Felicia and Cirie talk. Felica tells Cirie that she knows they want to vote her out. She thinks Matt needs to put up Jag and Bowie Jane. (Yeah, like that will happen!) She wants Cirie to go fight her case with Matt.

Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag talk. They decide that Felicia must go and Matt has to figure out how to tell one of his allies that they will go up as a pawn. Felicia talks to Jag and wonders if their final four -- her, Jag, Matt and Cirie -- is still good. She wonders about Bowie Jane. Jag tells her Bowie Jane is not part of the final four. (Yeah, because BJ is part of the final three with Jag and Matt!)

HoH room reveal. Wait ... REILLY is in the photo with his mother! And, his letter is from Reilly. They were Ratt -- Reilly and Matt.

Cirie reminds Matt he promised not to put her up. He tells her that if he puts her up, that will cover them working together. She reminds him Bowie Jane has never been on the block. She puts him threw a guilt trip. She thinks he should take the shot at Jag because he may never have an opportunity. He tells her that Felicia would be the target. She also mentions the Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag final three.

Time for the nominations ceremony. Matt nominates Felicia, then Cirie. He tells them he spoke with them privately and gave them his reasons. He tells us that his target is Cirie. He thinks his best chance to move ahead is to work with Jag and Bowie Jane. Jag thinks keeping Felicia is better for his own game and wants to have Matt agree to a Cirie boot.

BB25: Live Feeds Into Sunday - Oct. 29

 

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Comp Winners Only Need Apply:

• Just a personal opinion here -- I was so happy to see a better mix of ages with the hamsters this season. I've never been one for showmances and the whole cast being models and bartenders. Putting the Cirie twist aside, if you are going to have folks 50 and older in the cast, preferably more than two or three, the playing field for comps needs to be adjusted a bit, too. Otherwise, the younger more able "comp beasts" will just plow their way to the end. BB is a social strategy game, too. Make that count just as much!
• Okay, off my soapbox.
• I shouldn't complain as my blog pool random pick is Jag this season. Unless either Matt or Bowie Jane gather the nerve to get him, he will plow his way to the win. It would be the first time I ever won my own blog pool if that's the case.
• Not all that much has changed over the last day.
• Jag has managed to completely turn Matt against Cirie.
• Of course, Matt can't vote anyway. So, it was always to be Jag's vote and Bowie Jane will do whatever Jag wants as he is in charge.
• Jag is not being a nice guy about things.
• He kept going on last night about the evils of Cirie rallying his troop of three.
• He also plans to tell both Felicia and Cirie that they are safe (separately), then vote out Cirie.
• I'm disappointed in how callous he has become. He was NOT that way earlier in the game.
• They apparently had a luxury type comp during an extended feed break early yesterday evening -- Halloween related and Matt won money.
• Felicia and Cirie are still cooking for the three!
• Eek.
• Now, Matt makes a mean scrambled egg. I don't recall ever seeing Bowie Jane cook and I've only seen Jag cook at the grill after the food is prepped by Felicia.
• Instead of calling it cook's quits, Felicia is running around checking in with Jag and Matt all the time to see if she's good.
• Heck, yes. She seems to be good going into Thursday as they are so focused on Jag's distrust of Cirie. 
• But Felicia is next and I don't see that train stopping at the station.
• That's all for now.
• Laters!

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls ...

I'm surprised he's a follower rather than a leader.

STOP cooking for them!

So happy he's HOH ... wait, he's not HOH?

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday, Power of Veto - Oct. 28

 

Supposedly not the target this week.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Is This Ever Going To End?:

• Nothing changed much in the overnight hours.
• Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag are just about certain one of them will win the veto, keeping the noms the same.
• Matt wants Felicia out rather than Cirie.
• The other two agreed to that but they vote, Matt doesn't.
• Jag would prefer Cirie out. 
• Bowie Jane doesn't care, just as long as she isn't on the block. After all, her big goal was to have fun and make it to jury.
• Felicia and Cirie harped about how Bowie Jane got to where she is by following the power each week.
• As an observer, I will say she did that. I think she also threw just about every comp she played until recently. Even a recent win or two were just flukes as she tried to throw them.
• Bowie Jane thinks that the ones who haven't won any comps have been lazy and selfish even if they have been trying.
• Say what?
• Jag, Matt and Bowie Jane have the votes so that, even if either Felicia or Cirie win veto, the remaining one on the block will go home.
• Matt told Cirie that if she or Felicia come down he was thinking of backdooring Jag.
• Oh my!
• I doubt that he would have the nerve to do that.
• Plus, unless it's a total crap shoot kind of comp, Felicia and Cirie probably won't win. The comps haven't really been too conducive for older players to win this season.
• Right now, as I type this up, the feeds are blocked for the comp.
• Once I find out who won, I will be posting.
• Jag won veto.
• Of course. They say Cirie did well.
• For what that's worth.

Of course.

Bowie Jane took a rest from smiling.

Has the forlorn look down pat.

Who woulda thunk it?

BB25: Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - Oct. 27

 

I do NOT want to know what is in the pockets!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dastardly Deception:

• Now, we all heard Matt take Cirie aside at the end of the live show. "You will never touch the block."
• Tsk, tsk.
• After the live feeds returned last night, when Matt was with Bowie Jane and Jag, he said he would probably have to put Felicia and Cirie on the block.
• Oh, the fact Felicia would go up should go without saying.
• Since we know he's too scared to put Jag up (which would be the smart game strategy move -- or at least consider a backdoor), he only has three to choose from.
• Bowie Jane, Cirie and Felicia.
• Neither Bowie Jane nor Cirie have been on the block.
• Felicia has been on the block more often than not.
• It's Jag who has more of a relationship with Bowie Jane than Matt.
• It's Matt who has more of a relationship with Cirie than Jag.
• Will Matt just acquiesce and do what Jag wants? Or will he think of his own game?
• Matt's own game plan is that he thinks he can beat Cirie in a final two. 
• No one thinks they can beat Jag in a final two. 
• Well, maybe Felicia does but she carries old food around in her pockets. Nuff said!
• In Matt's HOH room, his letter was from Reilly. Now he's in love again.
• There was also a photo of his mother with Reilly.
• Bowie Jane and Matt have talked about Jag having to go much as Cirie and Matt have talked about it.
• If Jag were to go on the block (not likely), he is the Veto King this season. Even if he's not on the block, statistically he's most likely to win the veto.
• Hmm.
• If I were Matt, I would be tempted to put Bowie Jane and Felicia on the block, keeping my promise to Cirie. If those noms remained the same, chances are Felicia would get evicted.
• But I'm not Matt. He seems like he will put Felicia and Cirie on the block. With them up, it's a toss-up but Cirie would probably be voted out.
• He's been conspiring with Bowie Jane. Sigh.
• Matt does want Felicia out instead of Cirie, but it's Bowie Jane and Jag voting.
• I'm playing a waiting game for the nominations to be made.
• Then I will post this.
• The feeds returned to them all playing pool in the yard.
• Hmm. The yard should probably be closing down for prep for tomorrow's POV comp.
• No clue other than what we already know was supposed to go down for the noms.
• Confirmed -- Cirie and Felicia are on the block.

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

Jag is happy for his Minutefriend.

Reilly loves me!

Bowie Jane will have no jury votes.

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

About time Matt won an HOH!
