BB25: Live Feeds into Sunday Afternoon - Aug. 6

 

Hey women, we're single!

Good afternoon! I've been having intermittent internet outages here, not sure what's happening. Yes, the bill is paid! I just hope it doesn't go out when I'm trying to live blog the show later this evening.

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Talkative Terrapins:

• The backyard was opened to them at about 11pm their time last night. Mind you, that's 2am my time!
• They were told not to go into the hot tub because it wasn't ready yet.
• Well, thankfully it had water in it as Felicia pretty promptly fell in it.
• That's at least the second mic I've seen her drown and I believe there was another. She dropped one in the toilet by mistake.
• This hot tub mic actually made cool gurgling sounds as it drowned.
• Once the backyard opened, a lot of the game talk cooled as it's all too public.
• Hisam is opening up more to people than he did in his first few days.
• He's very good with talking to people who are upset. Knowing that he's a psychiatrist you can definitely see it in use.
• Cirie is talking to him a lot more. I can see that she's paying more attention to his observations than she is to Izzy's.
• After all, Izzy is an excitable girl.
• Today was the cast photo shoot with the feeds shut down.
• I like how they warned them last night about it and told them to shower.
• Like they had to be told?
• I will like it when there are fewer in the house and everyone doesn't talk at once.
• Right now you can be listening to two talk and the background noise from the others makes it hard to hear.
• Oh, well ... nothing all that much is happening. Kirsten is trying to save her butt we know that's not going to happen.

Mecole is NOT available, recently married.

I honestly thought those curlers were in the past

Has a girlfriend. How, I don't know.

America is quieter than most. Hmm.

Luke does not manscape.

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday Night - Aug. 5

 

Start trying to make friends ... check!

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

• Rats ... no fisticuffs. No brouhahas. Not even a kerfuffle.
• After she came out of her initial upset about losing the PoV, Kirsten has been trying to fit in better.
• Too late, of course.
• However, the others were nice giving her pep talks and such.
• Reilly had a long talk with her advising her to campaign and get closer with others.
• Of course, Reilly also talked to Felicia and Cirie (and separately to many others) about how Felicia's definitely safe this week.
• Although Hisam didn't tell Kirsten and felt so bad she cried at the Veto comp that he hasn't worn the necklace at all, he won't be using it.
• Jared is now officially adopted into Reilly's Eight. 
• He's still their most expendable, though.
• Izzy has been going a bit bonkers. She's saying stuff I can't back up on the live feeds -- that Cory knows Jared is Cirie's son, that Reilly was throwing the PoV comp, that Reilly planned on backdooring Cirie.
• Sorry, I'm not seeing any of that stuff on the feeds.
• As a matter of fact, tonight Jared and Cory talked about Cirie. Cory told Jared what a fantastic Survivor player she was and how strong her game skills except comps are. Jared acted like it was news to him.
• Izzy is campaigning that they draw Cory into Cirie's group.
• Hisam dislikes Cory and, had he pronounced Cory's last name right talking about him to Cirie, she might have caught onto the Survivor connection.
• Cameron told Reilly they have nothing to worry about because they have a solid eight while the rest of the house is broken down to two and three people alliances.
• Little does he know.
• Cameron is a bit suspicious because both Izzy and Hisam talked to him at length today, the first time since they entered the house.
• Tomorrow should be fairly quiet.
• That is, until the show.
• While we know the HOH and some of the material we will see on the show, we need to find out more about the Nether Region (ew!).
• Cory has been forbidden by BB to talk about it.
• He did make one slip up saying it might be where evicted ones sequester to reenter the show in a comp.
• BB cut the feeds quickly on that speculation.
• And, I should add, it was just speculation on Cory's part.
• Laters!

Felicia doesn't need to campaign.

Reilly assures that Felicia is good.

I think she could be called Tall Tale Izzy

Cirie needs to know Izzy is a bit extra.

Get that necklace OFF the mic!

Scared of being targeted next week.

BB25: Power of Veto Winner Bulletin - Aug. 5

 

And ... we finally have a winner after a really long, long live feeds block! 

We did see cute adoptable pets

HISAM WON THE POWER OF VETO!

He set the veto necklace on a dresser. If he puts it on I will get a screen cap for you here and update.

He told Cory he didn't know what to do with it as he set it down. Cory told him to wear it ... but he's not. He said he feels bad because someone cried. I'm guessing that would be Kirsten but that's just my guess.

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday Pre-Veto - Aug. 5

 

ZZ Top with cheap sunglasses

Good afternoon! We have some pre-Veto buzz going on in the house, including the Veto player picks. So, let's get to what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Loquacious Losers:

• Okay, they aren't losers. I'm thinking this is one of the better casts we've seen.
• The house split is in full motion even though they've been in the house for just a few days.
• Reilly's group, The Handful, definitely has Blue although Blue initially gravitated towards Cirie and her buddies.
• But Cirie's group, the Bye-Bye Bitches (thanks, Janelle), has drawn in Hisam while Reilly considers him a possible ally.
• Blue may have put a target on Hisam, though.
• In a conversation with her, he said he thinks the heterosexual white males are in an alliance.
• He did say it and when Felicia was telling Cirie about it, the feeds cut.
• But Blue told Cory about it. Uh-oh.
• Cirie told Hisam they should pull Luke and Red into their group so they have the numbers. (Cirie already has Red.)
• Cirie was iffy when Hisam mentioned that he thought Jared was part of the Reilly group. She said she thinks he's bottom of the totem pole there.
• The Handful is considering pulling Jared in.
• If he gets in on both groups, will he be adaptive enough to pull an Ian playing both sides? My jury is out on that. 
• But if he follows Cirie's advice, he might be capable. She has been advising him whenever she sees him doing something that isn't good for his game.
• The Cirie/Jared connection is still only known by Izzy. 
• The Handful doesn't realize that Cirie's group has solidified. They think several are still independent free agents or just in mini-alliances. 
• But Cirie knows their group has solidified. She's like that. She is super observant and people talk to her. That's how she did so well on Survivor.
• Reilly said that she's talked to everybody and their mother.
• She doesn't know how right she is!
• Heh.
• The feeds were cut for the Veto player picks.
• When they returned -- Reilly, Felicia and Kirsten (of course) with Hisam, Blue and Bowie with Cirie hosting.
• Hisam apparently wasn't a Houseguest Choice pick.
• I doubt anyone winning except Felicia or Kirsten will change the nominations. 
• Kirsten would HAVE to save herself and she knows it.
• Felicia already told Cirie she would have to save herself just because it would be dumb not to do so.
• Right now the feeds are down for the Veto comp. When they return and I see who has the necklace, I'll post a bulletin and then an update on the aftermath this evening.
• Laters!

Blue has loose lips about Hisam

Cirie tells Hisam they need Luke

Doesn't know Jared is in the alliance

I predict a pre-jury eviction for Cory
