BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Aug. 8

Dreaming of 750K in the hammock.

 Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hospitable Hamsters:

• Tuesdays, like Sundays, are pretty much a nothing day.
• The hamsters have the yard, no comps are scheduled and the Veto meeting is history.
• Historically, this is a day of heavy campaigning by the nominees.
• Not so much today.
• Felicia has been guaranteed by all that she's safe.
• Kirsten has noticed that and, while she wants to campaign for herself to stay, knows that campaigning against Felicia would not be a good way to go about it.
• She plans to tell the others in her speech that if they are on the block with Felicia it means they are the target and going home.
• So, we need other hamsters for the drama.
• Hmm.
• Reilly! Cameron! Izzy! Cory! And sometimes Blue!
• Perfect!
• Reilly has been crying to just about everyone. Whatever will she do if she wins HOH and has to make her own nominees?
• Her latest is that she is seen as a ringleader even though we know it was her pushing the most for a big alliance?
• It was hilarious to watch Cirie console her and walk away with Reilly absolutely loving her.
• Such a Cirie thing to do.
• I guess no one, including super Survivor fan Cory, remember that that is Cirie's own form of mist -- friendship, trust and understanding.
• We couldn't see the wheels in motion so much on Survivor, but it's so fun to watch it on the feeds now!
• Jared has been calling Ma Felicia and Ma Cirie by such and no one other than Izzy knows the secret.
• Then there's Cameron. He wants to jump ship from Reilly's alliance (Family Style) and get aboard Cirie's alliance (The Professors).
• Izzy thinks he's a snake.
• And, he is.
• But he's a snake no one in either alliance is as trusting of now.
• The way he Cameron-splains the game to Reilly is so annoying. 
• The others just kind of let it go in one ear and out the other.
• Let's talk Excitable Girl Izzy.
• She also thinks Red is a snake.
• She thinks that she's Cirie's right hand gal. I think Cirie will have no issue cutting her when the time is right. The only pesky thing about that is that Izzy knows the secret.
• But if Izzy keeps getting antsy it won't be long before someone nominates her.
• Then Cirie will be her best friend until she isn't.
• Y'see, Cirie doesn't need to win a comp to play the game.
• Cory is STILL trying to get in on Cirie's circle of buddies.
• How long will it be until he tells Cirie his brother was on Survivor? He already told Reilly.
• He talks too much.
• Then comes Blue. She is dropping dimes on Jared without thinking it through.
• Jared has really created a Cirie-type bond with Reilly. Things Blue has said about him just don't sit right with her.
• The Professors -- Cirie, Felicia, Izzy, Hisam, Bowie, Jared, Red, Mecole -- don't keep all in the loop about Jared. And, they have a bit of a growing mistrust of Red because he seems to be getting too close to Cameron.
• Meanwhile, Family Style is slowly imploding as Cameron and Cody want to jump ship, Blue is saying questionable stuff and we know Jared is a double agent.
• On a funny note, Cirie was trying to take off her fake nails with a nail clipper and actual shards (as Jared called them) were flying. Jared called for BB to tell her to STOP THAT.
• BB did so.
• Laters!

Sorry, but she does look older than 34!

Mecole is playing very well.

Hisam's game knowledge will get him targeted.

Does no one realize Cirie is ALWAYS your friend?

Mad Dog Jared! Ok, toothpaste.

Next out?

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Evening, Veto Meeting - Aug. 7

 

The Odd Couple

Good evening. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Allied Anteaters:

• Yeah, I have ants on my mind. I'm waiting for the BB ants to show up with an actual exterminator in the house!
• No, I didn't post right after the end of the veto meeting feeds cut.
• I figured the entire world knew what would happen.
• Of course, Hisam didn't use the veto.
• No one wanted him to ... well, except Kirsten. And even she knew it wouldn't happen.
• The names of the two big sides of the house have changed.
• The Reilly group is now Family Style but still includes The Handful and such.
• The older group, now instead of Bye Bye Bitches, is The Professors.
• They're going to take Family Style to school!
• Luke suddenly awakened and realized he should be playing the game.
• He started talking to everyone like he was the HOH about to make a decision!
• Jared continues to double agent fairly well.
• The Handful doesn't have him in with the others at all.
• As a matter of fact, The Handful still doesn't realize the other side is solidified and organized.
• Hisam continues counting and memorizing.
• Felicia, Izzy and Cirie memorized stuff in the Have Not Room today.
• I don't expect much action until the eviction is over.
• They all still talk too much and too many at one time!

She's laying low for now.

We don't see much of Bowie Jane.

Mecole's got them cheap sunglasses.

Everybody else already started playing?

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - Aug. 7

 

Cory: How do you use an ice cube tray?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of How Dumb Can Cory Play? --

• Cory may be playing the dumb act just a bit too much. He goes on about how he's a wee little lad lost in the world.
• Yes, he really told Red that.
• Hisam is so onto him.
• Cory knows Hisam is onto him but what can he do about it?
• Felicia killed another mic. 
• One was the toilet (I think they have a bidet in there as well this year), then falling in the hot tub, now the toilet again.
• Now her mic is wrapped in plastic!
• They had the HOH camera yesterday in addition to having the photo shoot by the show.
• Izzy is still the Energizer Bunny hopping all over the place. 
• Cirie told her that she needs to calm down.
• Izzy cried. Izzy laughed. Izzy made me dizzy.
• Hisam seems to be one of the most shrewd players on the show.
• He's already memorizing details of the house.
• While Cory was just "brought in" to the Cirie alliance (BBB), he's also targeted for eviction by both Hisam and Izzy.
• Meanwhile, Cory is head over heels happy that Cirie likes and trusts him.
• Heh. That's what Cirie does and he should know that!
• Red, like a few before him, laid out Reilly's alliance (The Handful) directly to Reilly.
• Oh, my.
• Reilly came to the realization that people can see and hear!
• She went on a crying jag to Jag. Oh, and Matt.
• She told them she is being bombarded by all, hasn't had a chance to listen to her music.
• Hey, there is no rule HOH HAS to stay in the HOH Room 24/7.
• It looks like the plan remains the same -- Hisam will not use the Veto today and Felicia/Kirsten remain on the block.
• Kirsten will probably try to befriend everyone more but has said she doesn't want to campaign against Felicia.
• And the beat goes on ...

Red lists Reilly's alliance to her.

They want to target each other.

Hisam adds a lot to the team.

Thankfully he has swim shorts on.

Killer ... of microphones.

BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Aug. 6

 Come one, come all! It's time to watch the HOH comp, find out what the HOH will do this week and what's going on with nominations since the show itself already put four on the block and, last but not least, where did Cory go? The Nether Region sounds like a not too pretty place to be!

I will be updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh your page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments section. Please feel free to join in on the fun!

We start off with a recap. Yawnsers! Okay, they're entering the house to find Cirie. No, they won't be telling people. Izzy pulls Jared aside. She knows who he is from Cirie's social media. Izzy promises to keep it secret.

They're checking out the rooms. The Scary Room, Scrambled Room, etc. Jag and Reilly have already clicked. Red and Cameron talk. Cameron refers to himself as the Space Cowboy. Mecole thinks that Red and Cameron are hilarious.

Cirie meets up with Izzy and Jared in the storage room. Cirie tells us that she will make Izzy totally trust her.

They have all gathered to introduce themselves. OOHH! The ScaryVerse room has Cory reenter the house. He has a message. "Thankfully Cory was only there a short time, one of you won't be so lucky next week." The introductions continue.

They get a message from the HumiliVerse asking for volunteers for Have Not. Luke, Cory, Jared and Hiram volunteer. They have to spin the dial to find out how many times their butt gets kicked to leave.

Cirie is already advising Jared on gameplay. She's in tears talking to us about him.

Early alliances (or not) are forming. Luke, Reilly, Jared, Matt and Kirsten become the Phalynx Five Alliance. Cirie bonds with Kirsten. Cirie tells us her main goal is to stay in the house day to day. While Kirsten bonds with Cirie, Jared tells her he doesn't trust Kirsten. Felicia talks to Cirie Then Felicia talks to us telling pointing out that Kirsten is just trying to save herself, doesn't care about her or Cirie.

Finally, comp time. The four nominees -- Cory, Felicia, Jared and Kirsten -- have to sit out the comp. The HOH will take two nominees off the block. Balance beam course to button avoiding swinging obstacles. "Crash Course in Comics" is the name. They are called one by one with the rest downstairs and not being able to watch.

Blue is first and gets bonked by a Pow graphic sign. 1.36 is her time. Cameron is next. He tells us he doesn't want to win. 53.11. Red is up next. 50.56. America's turn. Ran out of time. Hisam up - 22.49. Bowie Jane - out of time. Reilly - 16.03. Izzy out of time, Cirie too, Luke, Matt, Mecole, Jag throws it.

Reilly is HOH!

Reilly thinks that the two people she takes off the block may be good for her game in the long run. Felicia throws Kirsten under the bus to her. Then Jared does, too. He tells her if she helps her she will also end up with Cirie and Felicia. Cirie talks to her about Kirsten being a loose cannon. 

She tells Cirie that Kirsten is her target and she needs a pawn of one of the other two. Cirie tells Reilly she thinks Jared is a good kid. Cory also talks to Reilly. 

Nomination Ceremony time! Reilly takes off Jared first, then takes off Cory. That leaves Kirsten and Felicia remain on the block. Reilly thinks highly off both and says the decision was difficult, wishes them well with Veto.

Kirsten cries, feels betrayed. Reilly tells us her target is Kirsten. Felicia tells us she's devastated but promises us they won't be saying "Bye, Felicia" on eviction night.

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.

Sharp dressed man in cheap sunglasses.
