BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 5

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Mecole or Felicia will get the boot! And yeah ... back to the 9PM ET/PT time slot, apparently CBS had their own waffling going on.

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

Mecole - cctru, Lili, Marthalight, MikesGirl, quixoticelf

Cirie - Petals, Janice, Krysta, RJM in SC, Skyriverblue

Matt - Brenda, Helenann2k, Brent McKee, Chrob61

Cameron- Cheryl in NC, JonMD 1267, CherylNY, Tilde

Jag - Barbara W, Jackie, Donna in Alabama, Mary C

Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

Hamster watchers ready? 

Skipping the Previously On and here's what Julie looks like tonight --

Will Cory be backdoored? And confirmation that the HOH comp is live on the show tonight.

Julie tells us it's Day 65 and talks about Cameron's conquests of the week. But first, we see Felicia throwing Cory under the bus at the veto meeting. Well, AFTER the veto meeting. Felicia thinks that if she stays she can go after Cory because Cory/America are the biggest threats.

Whoops, America starts it telling others that Felicia approached her and Cory about a final four. Yes, America tells us she's lying and Felicia KNOWS they're lying. Felicia tells America that Cory is carrying her. Ohh ... she's going outright mad. Cory leaves and America feels deserted by him in her moment of need. Cam likes the idea that she's putting a big target on Cory and America -- hey, it's not him.

Cirie says she's just going to mind her own business this eviction. Meanwhile, Cameron tells Cory that Blue wanted him to backdoor him. Of course, Cory tells America about Blue. Then he goes to Matt. Matt wants him to think that he and Jag didn't think it was much. Matt tells us that Cory/America and Blue taking shots at each other is good for his and Jag's game.

Felicia asks Cam and Matt how bad she blew up her game. Cam responds, "What game?"

Felicia and Mecole look very nice tonight.

A segment about Mecole flying under the radar and Felicia wanting to stay and take the shot at Cory. She talks to Jag. He tells us it could be tricky to get people to keep her but it would be good for his and Matt's game. Jag talks to Matt and Bowie about keeping Felicia. Jag tells us they don't want to draw lines in the sand and should try to convince America/Cory to keep Felicia.

Cory thinks it would be funny to save Felicia and Felicia doesn't know it. He thinks Mecole is a bigger threat to their game. He lists all of Mecole's almost wins. Jag tells us it's Minuteman time. Cory thinks only Cirie and Blue would vote for Felicia to go.

To the living room. 

Felicia - First shoutouts. It's been 65 days, hope not end of the journey. 

Mecole - Shoutout to her family. I play the game with intention and integrity, you can trust me.

The votes to evict:

Cory - Mecole (Meme)

Cirie - Meme

Blue - Meme

To commercial ...

Matt - Mecole

Jag - Meme

America - Meme

Bowie Jane - Meme

Yep, another house unanimous vote. They must have told Blue. She passes hugging Cory/America but hugs everyone else. Blue looks like she's going to cry. She tells all that Cory, America and Bowie Jane have an alliance and points out who they are after - Cirie, Blue, Matt.

She's handling the interview with Julie well. The Cirie/Jared reveal ... she guesses Cameron/America. She is shocked over the truth! Goodbye messages - Matt nice, America truthful, Cirie told her she should have kept Jared. Next week's evicted will be the first jury member.

HOH time! HumiliVerse sent down its newest app. HumiliGram. It appears on the nomination screens with previous houseguests' images and captions. They see this before the show, obviously going to be a memory test.

They are in booths in the backyard. Cameron can't compete. Julie will ask True/False questions about the images. Seven questions, most points win HOH.

1. Points given to All but Cirie

2. Points given to All but Blue and Jag

3. All right, points

4. All right, points

5. All right, points

6. Points to Blue, Bowie Jane, Felicia and Cory

7. Bowie Jane and Felicia both up to seven points each.

Bowie Jane and Felicia perfect scores to a tie breaker. How many minutes was Jared a zombie from the time he reentered the house until booted.

Bowie Jane throws it with 27, adds in a six to make it 627. Felicia said something like 40,000 (didn't quite catch)

Bowie Jane is the new HOH!

Julie tells them that they have made jury. The ZingBot will be there for veto.

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - Oct. 5

 

Has Waffle Wednesday decided her fate?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Fractured Follies:

• Okay. Yesterday was Waffle Wednesday.
• Although there was a hint of it on Tuesday, things waffled a lot yesterday.
• Will it stick?
• After all, we've seen this happen just about every week this season.
• Have a set target and decide the day before eviction to change it ... then change back on Thursday.
• As the dawn is on the horizon, it looks like this week the change of target just might stick.
• Mecole may possibly, could very well be, going home instead of Felicia.
• I personally wanted to like her. But I think she waited too long to play the game if she had game in her to play.
• How did this happen? 
• Well, it's not due to Cameron. He personally wants/wanted Felicia out before jury. He has no power and no vote tonight as HOH.
• Felicia talked to Jag who talked to Matt and then they talked to Cameron.
• Felicia would target Cory and America if she stays, not Matt, Jag and Cameron.
• That got the ball rolling.
• Talks went on all over the house for most of the day about it.
• Blue vehemently wanted to keep Mecole. Perhaps a bit too much.
• By bedtime for them, it looks like the flip is in and partially due to Blue pushing Mecole enough to raise suspicion of Jag, Matt and Cameron.
• Cameron gave Bowie Jane a heads up about it. He has to keep her in the loop as she is his person, of course.
• In other news, it was Bowie Jane's 46th 35th birthday in the house. 
• Funny hats were worn by most and many had multiple little hats.
• Blocked by the live feeds, the hamsters were shown photos or clips of previously evicted hamsters.
• I would think this was in prep for the HOH comp this week -- a memory one.
• They all split into various study groups trying to group-remember what they saw.
• If it is a memory comp, it just might play out on the show tonight.
• If it does, what will happen on the Sunday show? Just nominations like the olden times?
• If Mecole does go tonight, I want BB to focus on Felicia's face finale night when the Cirie/Jared connection is announced.
• I will say she's done more in the house to deserve to make it to jury than Mecole.
• I'm at the point where I consider Mecole wasted potential in the game.
• Even though it seems Bowie Jane is doing little, she's getting around talking with people and I do think she will bring game out when she needs it.
• Mecole hasn't strayed out of her own little group. Even Jag told her yesterday when she tried to campaign for herself with him ... you haven't talked game with me for 64 days!
• They still will have much of the day to waffle back to Felicia going home. 
• We'll have to see if the Mecole waffle sticks when thrown up at the ceiling.
• Laters!

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

America straightened his hair YESTERDAY!

Hot diggety dog talk.

Matt's hair starting to look Bertha-ish.

Let's blame it all on Blue!

The Amazing Race 35: You Don't See That at Home, Ep. 2 Blog Party - Oct. 4

 

Hi, there! Although there will be no non-Philimination legs in the race this season, we're still in Thailand. Well, they are in Thailand. Chances are we are at home in our comfy chairs and not in Thailand.

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!

That wonderful Lifeguard SueGee has made the random picks for the blog pool. You can check out photos and names of the teams on this post I made a while back.

Ashlie & Todd -- Dr Celine, NanaintheNW, SueGee

Elizabeth & Iliana -- Donna in AL, DonnaNY, Nickelpeed

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!

As usual, I'm sitting through the Previously On segment.

They have to travel by taxi to Nakhon Paton (sp) in the nearby countryside and find their next clue at a temple.

Jocelyn and Victor arrive first at the clue box. Roadblock. The lotus flower, grown in ponds. Who has a green thumb? Ten bulbs, leaves and wrapped together. Jocelyn does it. Rob does it for Corey and Rob. Jocelyn is familiar with the Buddhist flower bundling. Greg and John got a bit lost but are back on track.

The task is harder than it seems on the surface -- very precise. Jocelyn finally makes it through. Rob finishes! John (or was it Greg) finished and they are on their way.

Travel by taxi to an elephant statue, coin in slot, cross under it three times to the next clue.

Yeremi and Liam make the same wrong destination as Greg/John did.

Jocelyn/Victor - Detour- Stock up or Scoop up. 1st pick up ingredients, deliver to restaurant. Pomelo fruits load up on boat and fill five buckets of them. The ingredient list is phonetic but Victor plans to say it with a Thai accent. He actually recognizes the items on the list.

Steve finally made it through the Roadblock. Then finally ... Ashlie!

Jocelyn and Victor deliver the ingredients. Uh-oh ... missing an item! They are delivering again. They get the clue for the Pit Stop. Suan Sampran. Rob and Corey head to the Pit Stop.

Pit Stop order:

1. Jocelyn/Victor - Won $2,000 each

2. Rob/Corey

Many teams are still stuck on the lotus flower arrangements. Garrett and Joel have to turn around because they left the fanny pack back at the clue.

3. Greg/John

4. Lena/Morgan

5. Todd/Ashlie

6. Steve/Anna Leigh

7. Joe/Ian

8. Yeremi/Liam

9. Joel/Garrett

10. Andrea/Malaina

11. Robbin/Chelsea

12. Elizabeth/Iliana -- Philiminated

Survivor 45: Brought a Bazooka to a Tea Party, Ep. 2 Blog Party - Oct. 4

 

Good evening! Are you ready for our big three-hour reality extravaganza? Well, only 90 minutes of it are Survivor. A separate post for The Amazing Race will post at about 9:25PM ET. Be there or be square! Yeah, that's the hipster in me talking.

I will be live blogging the show the best I can. Keep in mind that these castaways are still very 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 made the random picks for 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

Brandon --- Indiana Jane, SueGee
Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie
Kaleb --- CherylNY, Cookie Jar
Sabiyah --- Cheryl in NC, cctru
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?

We start off with Previously On. My blog pool pick is highlighted, of course.

Lulu - Night 3 - The tribe feels bad that Hannah is gone, quit the game. Sean laments missing flint and Hannah. Emily apologizes to both Kaleb and Sabiyah, as well as Sean. She claims to feel like they gaslighted her and her game blew up. She tries to explain to Sabiyah that she felt it as do or die. Her tribemates have issues with her behavior. Emily is the blog pool pick I received. This is going to be a tough one.

Reba -Day 4 - Sifu is out there doing tai chi or something. Now he's punching trees and machete chopping branches. Okay. Maya thinks there is a clue hidden in the tribe flag. Drew and Austin are also looking. Austin has the advantage clue and tries it with the flag. He thinks it says "dig in the fallen palm tree x." He has no vote due to the advantage.

Belo - Day 4 - Bruce is working hard and they're calling him Uncle Bruce. They say he's hilarious as well as helpful. Of course, Bruce calls it Crazy Uncle Bruce. He feels his tribe is working way too slow. Katurah thinks he's acting like a Dad. She sees right through him. She says he is a threat and she thinks she's the only one who sees it.

Lulu - Day 4 - Emily is out there looking for an idol or advantage. The rest of the tribe decides to follow her. Brandon says she is now Public Enemy #1. He thinks he himself should search for it. He approaches her and says he will search with her. Kaleb also offers to search with her. Brandon finds something along with Sabiyah. Brandon thinks it is the Beware advantage and he didn't want to lose his vote. He gives it to Sabiyah. She loses her vote and it's a clue to lie the clue over the map to their camp. It lines up with a tree. Brandon and her can't find it. She tells Sean and Kaleb. They can't find it.

Reba - Dee's toes segment. Um. Okay. The tribe is bonding. Julie's knees are all scraped up. She decides to work with Dee and Drew ... also Austin. Drew's knees are also rough.

Lulu - Day 4 - Emily tries to talk to Kaleb. He thinks he understands her. He is trying to help her. They bond. Quite surprising. She seems to really respond. Now she's making up with Sabiyah. And Brandon. And Sean. She's really upset with her own attitude. Her knees are a wreck, too. A boat is arriving.

All tribes get a boat. One person from each camp, will return this afternoon. Brandon goes from Lulu. Bruce rock paper scissor to go as does Drew.

The three boats let the three castaways off on a beach. There is a table. Use the time to get to know each other, the game centers around relationships. They need to get to know each other, then they will go off on separate paths. Drew thinks Bruce kept too much to himself while Brandon was open.

They each come upon a puzzle box with a combination lock on a case to earn an advantage. They can choose to play or leave. Bruce doesn't do it, doesn't want to risk his vote. Brandon plays. Drew plays. 

Drew gets his. Brandon runs out of time. Drew gets safety without power, can last get played when there are ten players in the game. Leave before Tribal, come back after.

The three return to their tribes. Brandon arrives on Lulu. He tells them he didn't complete the challenge and lost his vote. Drew arrives at Reba. He tells them the truth. He suggests that if he can hang onto it until the merge, he might give it to someone. Austin tells Drew about his advantage. Drew thinks Austin is his ride or die.

On Belo, Brando is mixing in very well with the girls in the tribe. Bruce and Jake think the girls will work together. He tries to talk to Brando. Brando thinks he's good with Bruce. Bruce thinks he is good with Kelli, Brando and Jake.

Day 5. Immunity Challenge. One at a time climb tower, smash ball in the water, retrieve keys, balance beam,  all three keys a puzzle. Reward fishing gear, second tribe lesser fishing gear. Losing tribe will go to Tribal and lose flint. New sit out rule, must play in the next challenge.

REBA wins 1st! BELO wins 2nd. Lulu lu-looses again. Brandon did horribly on the puzzle.

Lulu - Brandon has no vote and his voice shaky as he tries to tell them he wants to stay. Emily and Brandon know it will be between them. Sabiyah doesn't have a vote either. They go looking for the idol again. Sabiyah spots the coconut in the tree with the idol. It's encased in wax and they must melt the candle to get it. They have no flint. Emily gives Sabiyah her shot in the dark to earn trust.

Night 5 Tribal Council. Jeff brings up the "heat" between Sabiyah and Emily. He asks Sean the tribe dynamics. Sean says Brandon and Emily are in trouble. Brandon says it's his first team. He says the puzzles are just bad days and he's Lulu Strong. Kaleb says Emily is trying as does Sean. Jeff tells Brandon he's likable. Emily says she has to tone down and show them trust. She mentions giving Sabiyah her Shot In The Dark.

Time to vote. Emily votes Brandon of course. Sabiyah can't vote, neither can Brandon.

The tally -- Brandon, Brandon. He's gone!

My pool pick Emily stays in the game.

BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday - Oct. 4

 

New birthday hats for Bowie Jane's "35th."

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Miscreants:

• The Cory/Felicia battle of words continues.
• Felicia is determined to throw him under that bus on her way out the door.
• She is going around telling tales on him, accusing him of eavesdropping on others.
• Wait. Eavesdropping is one of the regular practices in the BB house every season! It's right up there with lying and backstabbing!
• Cory told Cirie that Jared told him about the Brown Sugar Babes alliance, one thing Felicia is claiming he sneaked about to find out.
• Okay.
• Although Cory definitely has blabbed too much, especially to America, some of the things Felicia was accusing him of were totally off the wall.
• Today is Waffle Wednesday. Some waffle attempts were made yesterday, but I guess they were only flapjacks.
• A brief Evict Mecole thought wafted through the house. But I doubt it will stick.
• Of course, Matt, Jag and Cameron had to think of the "who will cook for them" angle once Felicia is out.
• They decided that Cirie and Blue both cook well.
• However, I should note that no one brought up "who will clean once Felicia is out."
• Mr. B (as Felicia calls him) will probably be happy not to receive daily grocery demands.
• While BB didn't give them any booze except in HOH goodies baskets for most of the season, lately they have been getting wine and beer every three days or so.
• Mind you, BB doesn't give them enough to get drunk on unless one hamster drinks most of it.
• Oh. Today is Bowie Jane's birthday. She is sure to smile about it.
• Laters!

And Bowie Jane keeps smiling.

Well, something needs to be done with it!

"I guess maybe it's time for me to go."

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 3

 

Good evening! Make sure you have your beverages and snacks nearby. I hope everyone remembers this Tuesday night change! We have Felicia and Mecole on the block. Will someone win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees?

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 out the Previously On segment.

We pick up the action after the nominations. Cam tells us he really wants Felicia out and Mecole would be likely to take her off the block if she wins veto. Cam doesn't want Felicia in the jury house.

Felicia tells us that Cam can win comps but he's not good with people. She thinks she is the other way around. Mecole is worried about her own safety as a pawn. 

Eek. There are ghostly figures in the windows. We could have used them during the absolutely dead week. The apparitions are little girls. Oh, great. We're into America loving for Cory to be nerdy over history. Give me a break. They must really need the filler material.

Felicia talks to Cameron. He tells us he has nothing to hold back. Cam tells her he doesn't see them working together down the road and doesn't want her in the jury house. She throws intel that Cory approached her about a final four with America, Mecole and Felicia. She tells us Cory instigates a lot of the gossip.

Cam tells us that he knows Cory is a dangerous player. But he wants Felicia out. He tells her that her "conversating" is more dangerous than Cory's game.

Blue wants Cory targeted rather than Felicia but doesn't want to spoil her newfound working with Cam.

Time to pick veto players! Cam draws Houseguest's Choice -- Matt. Mecole also gets Houseguest's Choice and chooses Blue. Felicia draws America.

Whoa! Already time for veto. Jag says they will find out why they were visited by two possessed girls last night. They get a promo trailer for the new Exorcist movie. The veto winner will choose three people to join him/her for a private screening of the movie.

It's in the ScaryVerse. Only way to save girls are to find word clues on the walls, perform a ritual to complete the exorcism. Fastest time wins. Blue is up first, finds hair. Then has to look for candle. Then wind chime. Walking, crawling through dark, through a "sewer." Pendant is the next word. She saves the girls. Next up is Mecole.

Mecole completes the ritual.

America is up next. She is definitely having troubles. Then Matt. Felicia ... this should be interesting! Hmm ... better than I thought she would do. Uh-oh, she returned to the hair clue room by mistake. She went out the front door by mistake and is disqualified. Cameron is up next. Seems to be doing well.

Top three times. 3rd - 9:15 Blue. 2nd - 8:22 Mecole. 1st - 7:59 CAMERON (of course). Now he has all the power.

Blue is telling Cory it was fun. Cory tells her he wants to target Cameron when he actually wants to target Blue. She knows he's lying. She wants Cory out, so she runs to Cam to tell him. She thinks he should use the veto and put Cory on the block. He is thinking of it.

BTW - She calls all male and female "girl" just like Jared called all "bro." Maybe I'm old but, as the kids would say ... I find that hella annoying!

Cameron calls them to gather in the living room. He chooses Blue, Jag and Matt to join him at the screening of the movie. They have all kinds of snacks. Blue overdoes the screaming reactions a bit. They all have positive reactions to the scary movie.

Cam talks to Jag and Matt, telling them that Blue told him that Cory was coming after him next week. He has changed his mind, wants to put Cory up next to Mecole. Jag disagrees. After all he, Matt, Cory and America have an alliance. Cam thinks that Jag might be working with Cory.

Time for the veto meeting. Mecole says he won it, would accept his decision. Felicia says she's honest and throws Cory under the bus, saying he approached them about the final four, not the other way around.

Ohh ... and they leave a cliffhanger! Thursday at 9PM ET/PT.

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday - Oct. 3

 

Pushed to NOT backdoor Cory.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Changing Time Slots:

• As you know from my bulletin yesterday, Cameron did NOT use the veto and the Backdoor Cory plan lies sullied and abandoned in the BB gutter of time.
• The nominations remain Felicia and Mecole.
• How did that all come about when Cameron just the day before the veto meeting was gung-ho about Cory being such a threat in the game?
• No, it wouldn't be to break up the showmance, something others would focus on.
• He sincerely seems to think that Cory is a big threat to his own personal game.
• Now, according to what was said on the live feeds, Cam came to the realization that it would be better to rein in Cory to work together with him towards the end goal.
• Cam couldn't get both of his main allies -- Matt and Jag -- to go along with the Backdoor Cory. Matt was aboard.
• But Jag kept pressing for Cory to stay. Now, of course, that was for his own game needs, not Cameron's, not the house in general.
• Without the support of both, Cameron schmoozed with Cory and now they're working together. For now, that is.
• Cameron is pushing the idea to Cory that Blue is targeting him and that Blue has lied to him about Cory himself targeting Cam.
• Well, dang. EVERYONE has targeted Cam! He was voted out unanimously!
• According to conspiracy theorists, production doesn't want the showmance to stop as they think people watch just for the showmances.
• Huh. That theory didn't help Blue and Jared. (And, neither did the theory production wanted to have Jared/Cirie as the final two.)
• Cory, but of course, went to America about his talk with Cameron, telling her that Blue seemed to be targeting him and he was mostly displeased that his buddies Jag and Matt didn't let him know.
• Cameron also schmoozed with Bowie Jane, telling her she is his person. Lucky them, I guess.
• Bowie Jane kept on smiling.
• At the veto meeting, blocked to the live feeds, Felicia apparently blew up Cory's game and went on a diatribe about him.
• Felicia is determined to keep pushing to stay despite the fact that it looks like everyone has already written her out of any plans.
• She refuses to campaign against her best ally Mecole and will instead just concentrate on her strengths.
• As the talks continued among hamsters already figuring Bye Felicia, it seems the next targets will be Blue, then Mecole.
• What about Cirie? Oh, she can wait. After all, she's not dangerous and they all like her so much!
• They think the next HOH will be the slip and slide. We will see.
• Laters!

No shock and awe with noms this time.

More loyal to Jag than he is to Cameron.

Will campaign for herself but not against Meme.

And Bowie Jane keeps on smiling.

BB25: Live Feeds POV Meeting Bulletin

 

Just a random shot to throw y'all off!

The live feeds were down for a few HOURS for the veto meeting ... which probably took five minutes. Of course, now they are all talking meatloaf and hamburger and not the veto meeting. Grr.

Apparently Cory got spoken to by Felicia ... quite harshly.

Ah, finally. Cameron did NOT use the veto. It's still Felicia and Mecole on the block.

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.
