BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - Oct. 12

 

On the block yet having fun.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whirling Dervishes:

  • Well, they made it through Waffle Wednesday without one hint of a flip.
  • Cameron was already unanimously voted out of the house and is only back in due to a twist in the game.
  • They still want him out.
  • He should be voted out once again in a unanimous house vote tonight.
  • Cameron knows the jig is up, the news is out, they finally found him. The renegade is accepting his fate.
  • He even told America that, no matter what they do next week, please do NOT send Felicia into jury with him. He doesn't want to be alone with her for a week in the jury house.
  • The others have all moved on and act almost as if he is already gone.
  • They're all trying to guess the comp. Slip and Slide is still a mention as is BB Comics.
  • Cirie and Felicia think a spelling comp is coming up. They practiced their spelling with M&Ms. Unfortunately, the spelling comps of the past have all been dependent on what letters could be found.
  • Technotronics! 
  • America, Bowie Jane and Jag did a makeover on Cory. Jag did the makeup.
  • Cory is a good sport about these things!
  • It was funny.
  • As for game, Blue is planning to throw the HOH comp. I guess she wants Cory/America and Jag/Matt to duke it out.
  • But, instead ... it could very well trigger her own demise in the game.
  • Matt and Jag think keeping Cirie rather than Felicia will be better for their end game.
  • Much will be decided depending on who wins the HOH tonight.
  • Laters!

M&M strategies.

And Bowie Jane keeps smiling.

Jag does Cory's makeup.

He keeps cornering America.

Is it Thursday yet?

The Amazing Race 35: No Sleep and a Million Dollar Dream - Ep. 3 - 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!

That wonderful Lifeguard SueGee has updated 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
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!

Sitting through the Previously On segment.

They are flying to Vietnam. Take a long bus ride to Can Tho (a city). The first two teams -- Jocelyn/Victor and Rob/Corey -- end up with the same flight. Morgan and Lena only have to leg four to use the express pass. So they will probably use it today. Morgan/Lena and Greg/John are also on that first flight.

Whoa ... six hours difference with the next flight! Joe and Ian ended up with an earlier flight than the others on a second flight! Same with Joel/Garrett. Ohh ... trouble at the airport as some of the later teams have an early flight. Uh-oh ... the first flight is now 3PM instead of 1:45.

The first flight has arrived in Vietnam. They need to take taxis to the bus station. Interesting -- it's a sleeper bus and they have to take their shoes off upon entering. Teams arrive in Can Tho at night. They take time slots for the next segment of their trip. The dock doesn't open until 5:45AM.

It's a bunching point as teams arrive. But in the morning the teams are going out 15 minutes apart.

The 5:45 group is heading towards the Mekong Delta to a floating market. Dragonfruits, tangerines and golden melons must be delivered. Second group heading out. And the third. As they finish each delivery, they get a third of a clue.

Morgan and Lena decide to use their Express Pass.

Joel/Garrett through with the fruit delivery first and have all three parts of the clue. Then Steve/Anna Leigh. Joe and Ian forgot to take their clue.

Joel/Garrett - Detour - Paper or Plastic. Making rice paper 12 sheets. Or, customizing the wrapping on one body part of a moped. Lena/Morgan get there and choose Plastic.


Uh-oh, Greg/John are going around in circles with their boat deliveries.

More teams are hitting the Detour. Paper seems the more popular. As soo as I say that, two teams pick Plastic. Uh-oh, only five ovens available at the Paper. The Plastic does seem to be harder.

Steve/Anna Leigh finish the Detour first and are on their way to the Pit Stop.

Pit Stop Order: 
1. Steve/Anna Leigh - still racing, leg not over.
2. Joel/Garrett ... still racing, of course.
3. Rob/Corey - they get the clue
4. Todd/Ashlie
5. Robbin/Chelsea
6. Morgan/Lena
7. Joe/Ian
8. Greg/John
9. Andrea/Malaina
10. Jocelyn/Victor
11. Liam/Yeremi

All teams still racing. 

Survivor 45: No Man Left Behind - Ep. 3 - Blog Party - Oct. 11


 Good evening! Are you ready for our big three-hour reality extravaganza? Well, only 90 minutes of it are Survivor. Hopefully a different tribe will lose tonight as Lulu is in a sad state of affairs.

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 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 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
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 go on a bit of a whirlwind tour of the tribes and what previously happened on them.

Lulu Night 5 - Returning from tribal without Brandon. Sabiyah said in the Marines they have a saying "no man left behind" but Brandon had to go. She says Emily must continue to prove the trust. She gave Emily her shot in the dark back. Emily thinks there may have only been three votes because Jeff only read two votes. She brings it up. Sabiyah couldn't vote but wasn't about to discuss it with Emily!

Belo Day 6 - Weird, Jake seemed to have a seizure of some sort and almost fell in the fire. He has no clue what it was. Dehydration? Kellie(or Kendra?) talks to Jake and bonds with him. 

Reba Day 6 - The crab they caught to eat ate the earthworms they were going to eat. Austin goes off with Drew looking for the idol. Julie and Dee have noticed that Austin and Drew are a bit too close. They watch Drew digging. He makes up a story about seeing Sifu hanging over there and thought maybe something was there. They are four strong. Dee doesn't trust them.

Already to the Reward Challenge. Start in ocean, race to beach, throw ball into overhead track and run to catch it, make basket to raise ring target, toss rings, three to win. First tribe to finish wins large fruit platter, second smaller one. Winning tribe can send one person to another tribe to steal one tribe item or just get intel. 


LULU wins first place! Reba wins second place! Kaleb wants to go and is backed by the others. Emily says he's perfect, smart and personable.

Kaleb heads to the boat. In addition to stealing an item he can forge a relationship with someone - that gift is an advantage to recover a lost vote. Kaleb heads to Reba. Drew thinks Kaleb is running the Lulu tribe. He does start schmoozing them. Kaleb tells them he wants the entire fishing gear set, leaving them the spear. They are impressed with him. 

Kaleb gives Drew the Good Will Advantage. He explains the advantage and Drew thinks it's perfect to give to his ally Austin who has lost the vote. Drew tells Austin and Dee about it.

Lulu Day 5 - The four are feasting! Sean likes "this" Emily as does Sabiyah now. Sabiyah thinks that Kaleb would be dangerous to sit next to at the end. Should she and Sean get him out? (Yikes! Not pre-merge!) They talk to Emily about it. Now, Kaleb is the only one who was nice to her at the start. She tells them she will do whatever they want.

Belo Day 7 - The guys take the raft out and go fishing. The women talk. They don't think Jake is a threat even though he's a lawyer. However, they do think Bruce is annoying and Katurah wants him targeted. Kellie talks to Brando as he's her ally.

On Reba, Austin tells Dee and Julia about the advantage which points to the flag and a hidden clue. The four (Drew is with them) go off digging. One keeps Sifu and Jaye (Maya) occupied while the others dig. They find a buried rope and follow it. Julie and Dee find a hammer which directs them to break a rock near the water well. All four head to the water well. It's an Immunity Idol! Only good for one tribal council, though. If you sacrifice your vote, it will last to merge. If you sacrifice again, until final five.

Day 7 - Immunity Challenge. Race out with a cart, release two keys, release heavy puzzle pieces, massive puzzle one player calling. 


REBA wins Immunity! Belo takes second Immunity! And, for the third time, Lulu has to go to Tribal. (They still don't have flint.)

Poor Lulu. The four are so saddened. Kaleb thinks Sean and Sabiyah will go after Emily. Sabiyah suggests to Kaleb they have stories so Emily won't use her shot in the dark. Sabiyah does not have a vote and wants Kaleb out. She wants to melt the idol's covering in the campfire at Tribal. Sabiyah tells Emily about the idol. Now Emily is suspicious of Sabiyah and wants to tell Kaleb. She tells him to vote Sabiyah. Kaleb thinks Emily is telling him what's been told to her or vote out Sabiyah.

Tribal Council time. Sabiyah puts her wax-covered idol near the fire. Jeff asks what's up. She tells him she needs her vote tonight. Jeff reviews the past few days with them. Kaleb talks about his "raid" on the other camp. Emily says her game is on the line. Sabiyah says it remains in the back of their minds what Emily said at the start. A scroll was showing after the fire burned away the wax. Jeff is asking what Emily could have done behind the backs of others.

Time to vote. Emily votes Sabiyah. Sabiyah does indeed have an idol -- it's got the same rules as the one just found by the other tribe. She doesn't vote so she can keep it until merge. (Or so it seems.)

The tally - Sabiyah, Kaleb, Sabiyah ... three votes, not four. She's shocked.

Next week, the tribes switch! 

BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday - Oct.11

 

Showing some leg to gain house favor.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Waffle Wednesday:

  • Gee, they might just have toast and eggs today.
  • It's not that Cameron's not trying to campaign, mind you.
  • It's more the glazed look of indifference in the faces of the others as he constantly retells events that happened, how people have done him wrong, how great he would be to leave in the house to fight for all that is good and glorious ... whatever.
  • Cory, called Skeezy by Cirie and Felicia and knows it, found out that Cameron has been calling him "that kid."
  • So, now in addition to saying that he is like "America's father," he can expect Cory to call him Daddy.
  • Cameron has been successful in making many of the others suspicious of each other.
  • However, that won't help him stay in the house.
  • It will, of course, possibly create chaos which is one of Cameron's take the page from Russell Hantz bits this season.
  • THE most unflappable person under Cameron's interrogations is Smiling Bowie Jane. "You pushed too hard for Cory, that's that."
  • They keep trying to figure out what comp is headed their way -- slip and slide, comics, spelling?
  • I do like that the show has switched up some of the comps a bit. 
  • Although today is Waffle Wednesday and this bunch waffles EVERY Wednesday, I think they will stick with the Cam eviction.
  • It should be another house vote.
  • Yeah, like the first time they evicted him.
  • Laters!

Well, she does cook.

Maybe the half-Audrey will help.

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

Maybe this approach will work!

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 10

 

Good evening! Make sure you have your beverages and snacks nearby. I hope everyone remembers this Tuesday night change! 

We have Felicia and Cirie on the block. Will someone win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees? Tonight, we are scheduled to have the ZingBot appearance. As I said before, not a fan of it. I often have issues understanding what is being said with that weird ZingBot voice -- how is Matt going to understand?!?! Plus, I just find it mean. It could be just me.

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!

As my norm, I'm sitting out the Previously on segment.

We pick up the action at the end of the nominations ceremony. Bowie Jane tells us that Cirie is her target. Cirie tells us she wanted to go longer not on the block and needs to win her first time playing for veto. Felicia tells MR. B that she needs to win a veto.

Cory suggests a Cam backdoor to Jag and Bowie Jane. He is sure that Cameron will win again and target him. Bowie Jane tells us that Cameron never did anything to her and her noms are made. Jag also thinks that Cameron needs to go.

Bowie Jane talks to Cameron. She goes and tells him about Cory suggesting he get backdoored. Cam tells her she needs to backdoor Cory. She doesn't want the blood on her hands, nor problems with America. She thinks Cory and Cam should just go after each other and leave her out of it.

Jag tells Matt he needs to talk to Bowie Jane about targeting Cameron.

Time to pick veto players! Bowie Jane draws Matt. Cirie draws Jag. Felicia draws America. Oh my, Cameron is NOT drawn for veto!

Jag and Cam talk. Cam is all suspicious that Mecole's warning about Cory, America and Bowie Jane being in an alliance were true. He's building up the scenario and wants Cory out as a backdoor. Jag tells us he will use all the stuff Cam is saying about Bowie Jane.

Jag goes to Bowie Jane telling her how Cameron doesn't trust her. Now she's suspicious of him!

Uh-oh. The ScrambleVerse globe is lighting and it's ZingBot. It's ZingBot9<3<3<3. It claims it's nice because of the ScrambleVerse. Head to the backyard for the veto comp.

It's OTEV. OTEV is the Zinging Robot and gives out the zings. America robbing the cradle. Bigger wrinkles to this game multiverse twist or Felicia. Jag your gameplay reminds me of a sportscar, not a Jaguar but Aston Moron, Lame Bhorginhi. Blue fashion insult. (I'm not getting all of these.) Bowie Jane - Scary white teeth that terrify people, pigtails. Mecole - me-bored to six week me-coma, so under the radar forgot evicted. Matt - Cardboard Josh, similar intelligence. Cirie - You're alone, can finally lose well on an island. Cameron - Lt. Loser to Major BLEEP Tool. Song about Cory set to America the Beautiful, tiny man, can't kiss, etc.

Okay, it starts. Typical OTEV. A Crapbook of the Most Pathetic Losers of BB25. Each round one loser who has been evicted, retrieve, up the flowing water hill, kneel, one less place to kneel each time. We get the DR blurbs from those who have to win.

1. Photos of 2nd and 3rd evicted. Cirie has the wrong answers - Reilly and Kirsten, should be Reilly and Hisam. She goes back while Felicia and Bowie Jane are still searching. She makes it up last and is eliminated first.

2. Photos of loser who finished last in the Kicking Butt comp. Kirsten is the right answer. America drops her photo by the ramp and Felicia takes her place. America is out.

3. Loser who had to wear a piggy costume for the week ... Izzy only because Cam is still in the game. Felicia last up.

4. Loser eliminated 1st in the Pressure Cooker. Jared is the answer. Matt up last, eliminated.

5. Losers who were evicted with 8 votes to evict. It's down to Jag and Bowie Jane. Izzy and Red are the answers. 

JAG WINS THE POV! 

Cirie thinks her game life is in the hands of a LameBorghini. She doesn't think Jag will use it so that either Cory or Cameron will be backdoored. Little does she know that that is exactly Jag's intention.

Bowie Jane is approached to Cameron because he is having weird feelings. She tells him that it sounds like Jag wants to use the veto. He doesn't want to be on the block. He pushes the Cory renom idea. Cameron tries to guilt trip her for even considering putting him on the block.

We are left on a cliffhanger. 

BB Comic Week kicks off on Thursday.

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - Oct. 10

 

Giving unsolicited game advice to all.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Toodles to Poodles:

  • Although Cameron is surprised and confused that Cirie was left on the block with him, he knows he will be voted out.
  • No sense even campaigning to stay.
  • What to do? What to do?
  • Well, he can go around giving unsolicited game advice to others, right?
  • He warned Blue about wanting to be with the "cool kids," Matt and Jag.
  • After all, Bowie Jane fell for them!
  • He gave Cirie game and people advice.
  • BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
  • Cirie was already having reservations about Matt and Jag -- Cameron confirmed them.
  • She talked to Blue about how they will always be at the bottom of any alliance.
  • Of course, Blue's dislike for Cory keeps her from being at the bottom of that alliance.
  • However, the house has two power alliances -- Matt/Jag and Cory/America versus Felicia, Cirie, Bowie Jane and Blue.
  • If the four women could band together, they might have something.
  • Mind you, they would have to win comps.
  • As for the physical comps, Bowie Jane might be the best competitor IF she WANTS to win. She can't play for HOH this week.
  • Cameron thinks he has the record for nominations. He's not even close.
  • Cameron told Bowie Jean her true character showed now.
  • "Thank you, mate! That makes me proud."
  • Heh.
  • In between lecturing and questioning who's working with whom rounds, Cameron generally sat with his sunglasses on staring into the netherland.
  • Jag might be being a bit extra. He thinks he and Matt should make a fake final three with Cirie the same way they did with Bowie. (And possibly Blue before that!)
  • I'm actually unsure what all these final three, etc. deals will do.
  • If Cory or America win HOH, doubtful as it may be, will they make the move to target Matt or Jag?
  • Throughout the house, the Cameron advice/lectures are going through numerous retells.
  • Hey, he got them all talking to each other!
  • Hmm.
  • Laters!

I like Blue better without Jared.

And Bowie Jane smiled some more.

Oh my, having skin issues under the makeup.

Bereft without his flosser.

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Morning, POV Meeting - Oct. 9

 

Cirie! America and I are officially
girlfriend/boyfriend!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the HOH from Down Under:

  • All is in motion.
  • Jag will be using the veto later during the Veto Meeting.
  • As per Cirie's offer, he will save Felicia. Cirie volunteered saying that this way Felicia won't have to pack again and it will be less stressful for her.
  • Bowie Jane will replace Felicia with Cameron.
  • Cameron and Cirie will be on the block and Cameron will probably be unanimously voted out. (Like he already was!)
  • Now, if nobody tells Cam, all should go smoothly.
  • Yeah, right. This is BB25.
  • Cameron did confront Bowie Jane and Jag asking if he was going on the block. He told them he just wanted to know, he would be the same old friendly Cameron and all. (??!!) He says that if he goes on the block, he knows he will be evicted.
  • Y'think?
  • Sure enough, while Bowie Jane, Jag, and Matt are celebrating upstairs, out in the hammock America is talking to Cameron.
  • And telling all.
  • Every alliance, every word she's heard, that Jag is using the veto, that Cam will be the renom.
  • Cameron definitely gets upset that his fellow Fugitive is betraying him.
  • But then he goes on to tell America everything about his own game.
  • Not that she will get it all right on a retell to Cory, mind you.
  • But as Blue said to him, "You got voted out unanimously for how you were playing the game. So, you come back in and play the same way again."
  • Meanwhile, America and Cory are now officially named as boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess I underestimated the depths of their endying love for each other.
  • It's Monday morning and Cameron is once again talking to America. She seems to be the only one who will sit and listen to him.
  • He's telling her that he personally saved Bowie Jane and was there for her when she was in tears and this is the thanks he gets.
  • Cameron told America that he went to Bowie Jane about Jag using the veto and what she will do. He said she just said it's up to Jag whether he wants to use the veto or not (and avoided what she will do).
  • Meanwhile, in the house everyone else is gathered in the kitchen. Bowie Jane says to all what a bad game player Cameron is.
  • Cameron went from friendly non-game talk with Matt directly to: "How long have you known about the backdoor plan?"
  • Oh my.
  • He goes on to Matt about how hurt he is by Bowie Jane.
  • He is putting Matt on a mighty guilt trip. He's really putting Matt on the spot. He tells him that he gave Jag and Bowie a chance last night and they let him down.
  • Cameron thinks the move was intentional all along.
  • Matt tells him it wasn't.
  • It actually wasn't. Bowie wanted Cirie out. They pretty much assumed Cameron would play for veto and win it.
  • Technically, it isn't even really a backdoor because it was not planned.
  • The pieces fell in place once Jag won the veto.
  • Cory went to quick work making a sandwich and had just started to eat and Cam accused him of knowing what's going on when ... adoptable pets and the loud music started. 
  • Veto meeting in progress. 2:05PM ET.
  • Feeds returned at 3:36PM ET.
  • It went as planned. Cameron is up in place of Felicia.
  • Blue tells Matt that Cameron is just being dramatic. She doesn't think he will pitch to stay.

That's a back brace, silly Jag!

Let's party!

America tells all to Cameron
who tells all he knows to her.

So, this is really happening?

Felicia must have the record for Bible reading.

BB25: Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 8

 


Good evening! Tonight is Nominations and probably a lot of filler material. Yes, I am so excited.

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?

After the show start being delayed about five minutes, we are into the Previously On segment. Okaaay ... we have Mecole getting evicted again. Soon Bowie Jane should win HOH.

We pick up the action after Julie tells them good night. Bowie Jane admits to us that she tried to throw the comp. America feels good. Cameron thinks of her as his person. Cory is all stressed out with both Mecole and Felicia calling him out. Cameron thinks Cory is obsessed with being the smartest in the room. Oh, wait ... Mecole is still there! Dang, stale filler material!

Okay, now Mecole is gone. Felicia is angry at herself for losing the tiebreaker. Cirie thinks she has had Bowie Jane issues dating back to the Red vote.

We get a bathroom victory dance with Bowie Jane, Jag, Cory, Matt, America. Jag tells us Bowie Jane is a good choice for the final three with himself and Matt. Cory and America want to work with her now, too. Bowie Jane tells us she wants to play her own game.

Cirie and Blue talk about Jared leaving. Blue knows she can trust Cirie. Blue thinks that Bowie Jane will put up Cory and America. Cirie thinks right now the person she can trust the most is Blue.

Cameron told Cory that Blue is after him. Matt tells him that Cam said that so Blue and Cory would go after each other. Cory tells Jag he would like to see Blue and Cam nominated. They think they all need to talk to Bowie Jane about it. Matt is worried that the survivor of such a plan will be mad coming after them. Jag and Matt aren't really in on the Cory/America proposed plan.

We get a lesson in turbans.

Blue talks to Cirie and Felicia. Blue wants Bowie Jane to put Cory and America on the block. Cirie thinks her best way would be to influence Matt and Jag that Cory and America should be the targets. They try with the "Minutemen."

Jag thinks that he would like Cory around as a shield. He tells us that, not Cirie or Felicia. Matt and Cameron talk. Cameron, once again, is pushing a Cory ouster.

More filler -- talk with Felicia about going into the service. She had domestic violence problems which actually inspired her to go in. Cameron tells us he respects her because of that.

Jag and Matt talk. Jag thinks that Cory/America are good to keep in the game. Is the best outcome Cam leaving? Matt tells us that Cam is the biggest threat in the house. Well, duh! They go to talk to Bowie Jane.

Matt lists all the possibilities for noms. Bowie Jane tells us she doesn't want to do anything crazy for her game. She thinks Cirie and Felicia need to go. Matt tells her that Felicia is not a threat. Jag thinks because the whole house is anti-Cory, he should stay. Bowie Jane is resistant to the suggestion of putting Cam up.

Cirie talks to Bowie Jane. She tells her she hasn't been against her. Bowie Jane is talking with all to see where she is in the game and solidify relationships. Cory suggest Cameron and Blue, America suggests them, too. Bowie Jane is more concerned with who doesn't like her rather than the big targets. She doesn't want to do the dirty work of others. Blue tells her to target Cory/America. Bowie Jane thinks she'd rather put up Felicia and Cirie.

Cameron talks to her. She tells us people are spilling who they want out to her and she never knew them like that.

Nominations today and it's time for the ceremony. Bowie Jane first nominates Felicia, then Cirie. She apologizes and tells everyone to BLAME CORY. She quickly said she's joking.

BB25: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - Oct. 8

 
Smile while you can, Blue.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Squirrely Snakes:
  • As you know from my last post, Jag won the power of veto.
  • Now, Cameron is sure that is a good thing. Since he wasn't picked to play, a win by Jag just has to be the second best thing.
  • That is until it's not.
  • Cameron is sure he's working with Matt and Jag with the target being Cory.
  • He's also sure, since he's been telling her so since he returned after being evicted, Bowie Jane is his person.
  • Of course, if the nominations remain the same -- Cirie and Felicia -- that's no skin off his nose, so to speak.
  • But is that's what's happening?
  • Nope. Nosirreebob! Nuh-uh!
  • Y'see ... separately Bowie Jane was approached by Jag, Matt and Cory.
  • They all pushed gently for the renomination of Cameron.
  • Cirie and Felicia approached her together. Their pitch is that all three are the underdogs and that Cameron is wanted out by most/all of the house.
  • It worked.
  • Bowie Jane agreed and told Cirie and Felicia she will take one down when Jag uses the veto and put Cameron up.
  • With this cast this season, obviously nothing is written in stone until they vote at the live eviction.
  • But this is looking pretty solid.
  • Cameron's pitch to Bowie Jane to get Cory out didn't bode well because Bowie Jane knows that part of the house will be mad at her and, while Cameron is telling her to focus on a win, the big win just isn't that important to her.
  • They have toyed around with telling Cam at the veto meeting that he said he just wanted a week so he could make jury!
  • In other news, Felicia pronounces the silent L in salmon. That drives me bonkers. Also, when they were talking about movie stars and crushes, Felicia said "Denzel Washington" much to the laughter of others. When told about Cameron thinking she was Denzel's sister, she said she'd like to sit and talk to Denzel about that.
  • Also, the OTEV comp brought out a lot of comp stories.
  • One thing we were never shown on television is that when Felicia ended up outside the house with the Exorcist comp, she did go back in. She did have to climb through the chimney, "sewage" and all. However, she did seem to time out because she was convinced she was looking for more hair.
  • With OTEV, Cirie was apparently out on the first question and had the question itself wrong, too.
  • After Cirie was out, it was then Matt and America out of the comp.
  • Felicia was out next, then Bowie Jane threw the comp to Jag.
  • Laters
Admits to Matt that he has thrown comps.

Let your hair hang down.

Tells Cory he only threw the Nether comp.

Cam thinks he's safe.

What? We're both staying?

BB25: Live Feeds Power of Veto Spoilers - Oct. 7

 

Uh-oh!

Veto players were picked this morning. Apparently no one got Houseguest Choice and it was all random picks.

In addition to Bowie Jane, Felicia and Cirie, we had Jag, Matt and America.

From about the time just after the veto players pick, Cameron knew it may be all over for him. Despite his schmoozing, he knows that chances are if he doesn't win HOH or Veto, he will be backdoored. Although Bowie Jane will be resistant, she will listen when everyone BUT Cameron pushes for it.

The comp was OTEV. They're all wet and happy. It seems that Matt, America and Cirie did NOT win. I'm not seeing the veto necklace on anyone yet. It sounds like Bowie Jane might have won. I haven't seen her yet. Cirie apparently did horribly and feels bad about it.

Hmm. Felicia just told Cirie that Bowie Jane threw the comp and has been underplaying all along (which I've actually been saying as well). Still not sure who won. Jag maybe? 

Yes, confirmed. JAG won the veto.

Cameron is already up being a bug in Bowie Jane's ear about what she will do if the veto is used and how she is close with Jag, he should do what she wants and keep noms the same.

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - Oct. 7

 

Feel free to caption this one!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Follow the Leader:

  • Poor Bowie Jane's HOH throw wasn't thrown enough to meet her goal.
  • She even confided on camera that she did NOT want to be HOH.
  • She told Matt she never wanted the responsibility to have to make the decisions.
  • She would have been satisfied with just making it to jury.
  • Oh, woe is Bowie Jane!
  • With the "sides" of the house both spinning their tales to her, she went the easiest route to avoid losing allies she had on all sides.
  • She put Felicia and Cirie on the block.
  • Now she has Cameron at her to take one down if the veto is used and renom with Cory.
  • After all, Cory is the most dangerous player in the game, right?
  • Well, maybe to Cameron he is.
  • If Cory were to go, America would turn to Cameron, for sure.
  • On the other hand, Cory is pushing for Bowie to renom Cameron if the veto is used.
  • Although she thinks she knows the games, when America is by herself, she shows how little she actually knows about the others and game strategy.
  • The boys -- Cameron, Jag and Matt -- seem to think it's all about winning comps. Now, that doesn't jibe with Cameron's fear of Cory remaining in the house, does it?
  • We know ZingBot is going to be there for the POV, but they don't.
  • Last week they were all thinking the comp would be slip and slide.
  • It wasn't.
  • This week they think it will be OTEV.
  • What happened to slip and slide?
  • The veto comp will be later today. Of course, ZingBot and/or veto comp play will be blocked to the live feeds.
  • I will make a note right now -- I am not a ZingBot fan. I find it mean and I often have trouble understanding what is being said due to the silly "robot" voice.
  • There, I said what I said.
  • Laters!

And Bowie Jane smiled.

BB25: Live Feeds Nomination Bulletin - Oct. 6

And Bowie Janes keeps on smiling

Well, Bowie Jane made her nominations. In her talks with others she said she wants to nominate Cirie and Felicia on the block. Oh, but she doesn't want either of them to go home. If the veto is used, Blue or cam will probably be on the block. Chances are if Blue or Matt win veto, Cirie would be saved.

Cirie, before nominations, said the only noms that would make sense would be her and Felicia as Bowie Jane works with America and Cory.

Sure enough, Cirie and Felicia are on the block.

First time on the block

Turban time.

BB25: Live Feeds into Friday - Oct. 6

 

Bowie Jane reads her HOH letter.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Vegemite Sandwiches:
  • Okay, not sure if Bowie Jane did get any vegemite.
  • Also, not sure who she will nominate.
  • I honestly think by low-balling the tiebreaker, she thought she was throwing this comp ... like all the other comps I think she's thrown.
  • I know who OTHERS are telling her she should target or not.
  • But Bowie herself is a bit of a wild card.
  • It's hard to tell who she is aligned with other than herself.
  • Jag went off on one of his too-long schpiels about how the two sides of the house can target each other and they will be safe.
  • He talked to her as if he, Matt and Bowie Jane are a thing.
  • He said Felicia and Cirie will target mostly Cory, but also America, or Cam. He proposed a Blue target.
  • Bowie Jane told Jag and Matt that Cirie never talks game with her.
  • Matt commented she hasn't talked game with hardly anyone at all since Jared left. Gee, I wonder why?
  • America and Cory also think they are working with Bowie Jane.
  • And, we know that, after all -- Bowie Jane is Cameron's person (as he says).
  • The feeds came back on late and the HOH room opened up even later.
  • Nominations will be later today.
  • Maybe we will know more then!


Is what Jag wants what Bowie Jane wants?

And Bowie Jane keeps smiling.

Everybody's target for another week.

Does America have a game without Cory?
