BB25: Nominations Are In Bulletin! August 4

 

After a lengthier than needed live feeds block, the feeds have finally returned. About time!

As predicted in my last post, Reilly removed Jared and Cory from the block. Remaining nominated are Felicia and Kirsten. Reily was in tears when the feeds came back on. Jag comforted her, telling her she did what had to be done. She told him she didn't even know where Kirsten is. He told her that they will have a chance to win Veto. Maybe we will have a brouhaha later on!

UPDATE: People are talking about how wrong Cory was for being so smug about the nomination ceremony. Kirsten just came out of the Diary Room in tears. Mecole saw her, hugged her and told her to take a deep breath. Now Jag and Blue are trying to comfort and pep talk her.

BB25: Live Feeds Friday Morning - 8/04

 

Nominations Today!

Going into the Nominations later on today, there have been some changes. Well, one big one, at least.

• After talking to more people, Reilly found out that not one person would vote for Felicia to go.
• She thinks that if she leaves Cory or Jared on the block, it might split the vote.
• She thinks everyone will vote Kirsten out unanimously if she was up against Felicia.
• So, instead of a Cory pawn, we should see a Felicia pawn.
• That will probably work out. They all do like Felicia.
• But Reilly's other plans? The alliance plans? 
• Oh my. 
• Very complex stuff going on there.
• Final Two: Reilly, Jag
• Core: Reilly, Jag, Blue
• Handful: Reilly, Jag, Blue, Cameron, Matt
• The Eight: Reilly, Jag, Blue, Matt, Cameron, Cory, America
• Safety Bubble: Cirie, Felicia, Izzy, Hisam and maybe Luke
• Gee, why doesn't she go for everyone except Kirsten?
• As close as Reilly made it seem with Cory last night, note how far down he is in the alliance(s) she made.
• In other news, Izzy told Cirie that she knew who Jared was the second she saw him on stage. She recognized him from the visit from home on Survivor and photographs.
• Then when she saw Cirie in the house, she was just so excited that she had to grab him by the arm and tell him that she knew but all was good.
• Unlike many of Cirie's basic likes, I think she does really like Izzy.
• The Cirie/Izzy/Felicia group has now added in Blue. 
• ONLY Cirie, Jared and Izzy know that Jared is Cirie's son.
• Kirsten feels that Reilly is breaking her word regarding a womens alliance made before they all went to bed on the first night.
• She's betraying not only Kirsten but all of womenkind!
• They all got excited today when they saw the Nominations Today screen up on the monitor.
• This is basically just an update.
• I will post again when the nominations are in and the feeds return from that.
• They just cut the feeds and went to adoptable animals, so we should know in a bit more than an hour.
• Laters!

Reliving hooking up the wires in the comp

Reilly is betraying me!

No one will vote for her ... 

Still Mr. Popularity, Reilly's first final two buddy

Minimal blood on her hands

Playing charades

The blog pool sign-up cutoff is TONIGHT Midnight Pacific Time! Sign up ONLY on the blog pool opens post!

Good morning! My apologies for no post last night. The BB House time difference and a real-life weekly hospital appointment wreaked havoc on my sleep (or lack thereof). I decided to take a brief nap which ended up being a "power nap" of about seven hours! In other words, a really bizarre time to go to bed! Once I get used to staying up BB hours, I'll do better. Of course, once I woke up, I had to catch up with the feeds. Be warned -- get your breakfast and coffee because this report will be a LONG one!

So, what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Rascally Rodents?

• As you know from my last post, Reilly won HOH.
• Apparently, Luke ALMOST won it, coming in about 4 seconds late.
• With four already on the block, what will the HOH do?
• I'm glad you asked!
• The HOH will remove two from the chopping block. Just a reminder -- on the block we have Felicia, Cory, Jared and Kirsten.
• What if one the final two nominees wins Veto?
• In that case, from what I understand, one of the two removed will return to the block, HOH choice. 
• At least that's what most of them think. A few think the replacement could be anyone.
• I just don't know because THEY don't know for sure.
• While I napped there was the HOH Room reveal with way too many hamsters crammed in that room. It was too early for the things from home. But she did get treats and music.
• Reilly's music gift wasn't a good one for making friends and influencing people in the house -- Morgan Wallen, a country singer banned from the CMA Awards for racial slurs.
• They celebrated her birthday.
• They also played charades and Simon Says, and fun was had by all.
• So ... let's get to the gameplay!
• Reilly talked to some of them while planning to talk to the rest today.
• To cut to the quick, it sounds like her current plan is to target Kirsten (as many have mentioned her) and have her up there with a pawn, most likely Cory.
• That MAY backfire on her as she doesn't know that Cory is just about as iffy with others as is Kirsten.
• She appears to sincerely like Cory, told him she wants to work with him.
• Cory told her that his brother was on Survivor. Well, that secret didn't last long, did it? He did tell her it was a secret, but ...!
• (However, when talking with Jag, she made a final two pact.)
• Cory told her she needs to save Felicia. He claims he doesn't want to be on the block with her and "responsible for sending her home."
• As if!
• Both also think if Felicia were to be evicted, the Wrath of Cirie would come down on them.
• Cory thinks Cirie really likes him. Bwahahaha!
• Cory thinks Jared really likes him. Bwahahaha!
• Of course, we know that if Cirie and Jared don't like someone, that means Felicia and Izzy don't, either!
• Reilly told Cory that she doesn't really want to work with a women's alliance (an issue about Kirsten as she claimed there was a guy's alliance after just a few hours in the house). She thinks that a mix with both genders would be better for winning comps. She is pushing for a large alliance, eight is her goal. Eep.
• She really likes Matt and Luke and would like to bring them in on her side.
• When she talked to Cameron, she also said that she wants to work with him.
• She told him she plans to take Jared off the block because he is loyal and has no one else to really work with ... bwahaha!
• Can you say Cirie? I thought you could!
• Cameron told her he could work with Jared as they are both football guys.
• Outside of the Reilly talks, I have some observations to make.
• Some of the people in the house are so likable or fun that no one wants to target them, at least right now -- Felicia, Jag, Matt, Jared, Red and even Cirie to a point.
• Not one person other than Izzy knows that Jared and Cirie are son and mother. She guessed it and approached Jared about it right on opening night.
• Cirie and Izzy have also talked about it.
• Jared is already making plans for the day he slips up and calls Cirie "Mom." He's calling Felicia and Cirie Momma F and Momma C. Good thinking. Probably Cirie's thinking.
• Cirie continues to advise Jared on gameplay and it's cool watching her do her Cirie Thing on BB as she did on Survivor. 
• She watches, she knows, she decides who goes.
• And, it looks like her choice to go will be Kirsten or, perhaps to a lesser extent, Cory.
• Nominations should be today with POV tomorrow.
• I predict that Kirsten and Cory will be nominated.

America, America ...

Bowie Jane and Felicia

Nobody doesn't like Matt!

Jared is sure to stay this week.

Cirie is fitting in much better than I expected.

Hey, Cory. The pawn sometimes isn't!

Blue got a booboo in the HOH comp ... or blublu?

BB25: Live Feeds HOH Winner Bulletin

 

Yes, we do have an HOH winner! The feeds were down for more than a couple of hours and, when they returned, it was indeed for the HOH comp. Now, what the HOH will do this week with four hamsters already on the block is unclear. I will be posting a more complete report tonight and hopefully have some answers to those issues!

Reilly is the first HOH winner, wearing the key!

BB25: Live Feeds Report into Thursday 8/03

The "Nether Region" screensaver blockage

The blog pool sign up cutoff is TONIGHT Midnight Pacific Time! Sign up on the Pool Opens post ONLY!

Good morning! Welcome to my first live feeds report of the season! It was a bit loud and chaotic for sure. No ... no brouhahas or fisticuffs, not even a sign of a kerfuffle. So, what happened in that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters? This did --

• Too many are talking at once and it hurts my ears.
• Cory is back in the house.
• Reilly can juggle and Jag tells the others he taught her.
• Jag cannot juggle.
• Izzy and Kirsten seem to have bonded. Izzy started talking (bad) about Cameron, but Cirie and Felicia came in the room.
• Hisam's work lie is that he works as an aide in a nursing home and does burlesque on the side.
• Apparently Hisam had some sort of brain tumor removed that has affected one of his ears.
• Cirie and Felicia seem to have clicked.
• The feeds cut music is too loud.
• So far I haven't heard anyone with a really annoying voice on the feeds.
• Hardly any game talk.
• The camera numbers are messed up. If you hit Cam 1, it's actually Cam 3.
• Matt is telling them that he has trouble hearing with crowds but has some hearing left and uses hearing aids.
• He's been deaf since birth. He mentions taking speech therapy but doesn't tell them he reads lips.
• Matt has to wear a bandage to cover up a trademarked tattoo on his shoulder.
• First long feed break and the graphic shown reminds me of nether regions.
• Red is already known as "TikTok famous" by the others. He does look less country and more hippie without the overalls on.
• Mind you, he does have pants on.
• Kirsten has an annoying laugh.
• Kirsten also has an allergy and had a bad reaction to a ham sandwich ... not any fun on the first night!
• Have Nots are in the Humili-Verse room with the kicking machine.
• Luke and Jared are Have Nots. They both volunteered. Hmm. 
• The other two Have Nots are Hisam and Cory -- not sure if they volunteered or not.
• Jared, Red and Hisam are bonding about others already playing too hard.
• Meanwhile, Cory told Luke that Hisam is already playing too hard.
• Kirsten and Jared are talking about who they distrust. She says Luke, he says Bowie.
• So far I have not seen any reference to Cirie being Jared's mother.
• Cory talks to Cirie about fanboying her but hasn't mentioned his brother was on one season.
• Nor was anything said about Cory in the Nether Region ... although I did hear one person say he might have a special power now. Hmm.
• Cirie is already talking to Mecole about teaming up with Felicia and they each need a Plus One.
• Cirie tells Mecole that she doesn't really trust Cory and thinks he's a genius.
• Kirsten has mentioned her husband a few times. No showmance for her! She has quite a few prescriptions put away in her drawer for a young woman.
• Izzy told Jared that she knows he's Cirie's son. But the rest don't seem to have a clue.
• She also told him that she thinks Cameron looks like a serial killer, something she shared with Kirsten earlier in the night.
• Me? I don't think he looks like a serial killer.
• Jared and Cirie talked about their thoughts on their fellow hamsters. They will be working with each other, but not so obviously. Jared did tell her that Izzy knows.
• Jared told Cirie that he doesn't trust Cameron or Cory. He thinks Cory is a snake!
• Most are asleep or trying to sleep as I post this.
• Felicia and Bowie Jane bumped into each other in the bathroom and some whispers were exchanged.
• But they are not an early bonding pair.
• Now Red and Bowie Jane talked a moment, but no game talk.
• That's all for now!

First screencap of the season

Cirie is already on the case

The two with the most buzz against them

Quite the promising contender in the game

Jared so doesn't want to be first out

Chaos. Loud chaos. But friendly chaos.
