BB25: Live Eviction (or not) Show Blog Party - Aug. 10

 

Good evening! Will there be an eviction tonight? Well, no one (including me) really knows. With Luke getting expelled from the house for a racial slur, it may or may not happen. I have seen BB let the two nominees remain and I have seen the eviction go on when someone unexpectedly left. Even the professional outlets who do the exit interviews are basically on hold over this. The feeds have remained off since yesterday. I'm also unsure if the HOH comp will be on tonight's show. It should be, but who knows? We have a hot mess a'goin' here this week!

Anyway ...

I will be live blogging the show in East Coast time, constantly updating this page. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there.

But first ...

Hamster watchers ready?

Julie, dressed in red, opens like nothing happened this week and it's a normal eviction show. We're into the recap.

All seems "normal" still. For now.

Julie tells us it's Day 9, split house, alliances ... hmm. What does the BB Multiverse have in store for everyone this evening?

We are back to taped after veto happenings. Hisam tells us he didn't use the veto because he felt his ally Felicia was safe this week. Reilly tells us everyone wants to send Kirsten home. Felicia wants to be certain she will stay.

America seems to be having doubts and thinking Kirsten should stay and Felicia should go. But the older alliance is growing stronger. Hisam tells the others they need to rope Red into the alliance. Cirie is just as happy that Hisam seems to be taking the lead. They snag Red in the yard. He tells us he is happy to be in a stable older group. The call themselves The Professors.

Julie gives the first mention of one has left early leading into commercials.

Back to Julie. An emotional 24 hours as one broke the BB Code of Conduct and was removed from the game.

Back to taped Kirsten in the Diary Room. She talked to Luke, who she has never talked to before. He seems to try to console her about being on the block. Ah, to the room with Jared, Cory, Hisam and Luke when they play the replay of what was said leaving the offensive word out. Jared tells us he couldn't be aggressive. Luke says he was going to call him a narwhal. Jared handles it with maturity. The clip ends with Luke saying he's in trouble now.

Morning comes and Luke is called into the Diary Room.

Reilly comes out, calls everyone. She has a card in hand, reads that due to the racial slur, Luke has been removed, the game goes on and the eviction will go on as scheduled. Cory explains it. Hisam says he didn't hear it. Jared says he doesn't confuse ignorance with malice. He wishes Luke the best.

Back to taped content. Red wants to fish for information from Reilly. He tells her he isn't in any alliance. He names off her alliance one by one to her. Heh. Says it was just an observation. Reilly is stunned. She tells him they are just friends not an alliance.

Izzy talks to Reilly. She tells us she will target Reilly first chance she gets. She tells Reilly she won't beat around the bush and knows what's up, will look out for her. Yeah, right. Reilly is in tears. Reilly tells us she's worried people are thinking of her as the ringleader. Izzy goes to Cirie to tell her about the conversation. Cirie tells us she loves Izzy but Izzy needs to calm down. She wants to be careful because Izzy knows the mother and son secret.

Reilly meets us with most of her allies. Should they save and use Kirsten? We get Diary Room segments edited to make it seem like Kirsten would be safe. Up next, first eviction of the season and beware ... the BB Multiverse is just getting started.

To the living room and Julie talks to the nominees, tells them all it's time for the first live vote of the season.

Kirsten - Enjoy working with them, ability, trained to be here, best person will get ahead, you're all great people, here to play the game.

Felicia - Love to Kirsten, you guys have become my new family, way more game in me, I want to keep playing, love you all.

Time for the live voting to begin. The votes to evict are:

Hisam - Kirsten

Jag - Kirsten

Izzy - Kirsten

Cameron - Kirsten

Into commercial ...

Matt - Kirsten

Blue - Kirsten

America - Kirsten

Mecole - Kirsten

Cirie - Kirsten

Bowie Jane - Kirsten

Cory - Kirsten

Red - Kirsten

Jared - Kirsten

It's unanimous (as we knew it would be from the live feeds). Julie announces that a vote of 13 to zero, Kirsten is evicted. She handles it well and looks like she was actually expecting it. Hugs all around.

To the stage and Julie while everyone in the house hugs. Into commercials ...

Kirsten tells Julie she was really surprised. She says everyone told her she was good. She was told they all wanted it to be a unanimous vote. Most betrayed by Cirie due to private conversations. Julie tells secret relationship ... she is surprised! Ohh ... an hour ago Jared apparently told people his nickname and she knew it's Cirie's son. We get nice goodbye messages for her.

Since Julie told her the secret, it seems Kirsten is a SHE GONE situation not going into a Nether World to return.

What does the Multiverse have in store for the houseguests? Into commercial.

Julie returns tells us the HOH will be shown Sunday and the ScaryVerse sends another twist into the house. The live feeds will return later tonight (probably after the West Coast airing of this show).

Oh noes! The cameras go to spy on the houseguests and they're gone! Then it pans to a portal type thingee in the yard!

BB25: Blog Pool Match-Ups Redux

 

It's past midnight here on the East Coast and the live feeds are still blocked. There has been absolutely no information coming from CBS Big Brother about the duration. However, I am now thinking it will be until after tomorrow's live show ... as if America (us, not the hamster) doesn't know Luke was expelled from the show. If they happen to come up before the live show, I'll post about it. But right now, my bed is looking very good!

Since he was expelled, the blog folks who had him in the pool are being reassigned.

Here's who had him ...

Luke - Caela, Joyce Johnson, quixoticelf. T-Town Chick

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 9

 

Good evening! Hmm ... where do I start? Since it made TMZ, I will let you know that Luke was expelled this morning over a racial slur he made. Tonight's show was filmed before that happened. CBS and BB production have put out a press release saying his exit will be explained on tomorrow's live eviction show. So, you will see him tonight but he ain't there! As for the blog folks who had Luke in the blog pool, you will be reassigned to another hamster. I will post on that much later tonight.

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 per norm, we start off with a recap of the last show. I will twiddle my thumbs through this segment.

We start the action at the end of the Nominations Ceremony. Reilly tells us Kirsten jumped in doing too much and Felicia is a sweet person who will no way go home. We get Jared and Cory's take on being off the block. Felicia is "trusting in her spirit."

Izzy and Cirie try to comfort and console Kirsten. Cirie doesn't really feel safe or more that she is worried about Jared's safety with the Veto ahead. Reilly tells Felicia that she is definitely a pawn, and everyone told her Kirsten needed to be targeted. Everyone loves Felicia. Felicia tells us she doesn't like not being in control and will go for the veto.

Luke tells Cory that he didn't realize he was on the block. @@

They get to see the backyard and Felicia promptly falls in the hot tub! Cameron thinks he's close to the others in the Scary Room. Felicia is proving observant -- she knows an alliance is forming in there. Reilly, Jag, Cameron, Blue and Matt. Reilly makes a final two with Jag.

The Reilly's HOH alliance group is formed with a core group of the five. They call themselves The Handful. They are all very happy with themselves!

Cory is fanboying Cirie. She sits in the chair in the Have Not room and on a whoopie cushion. Cory tells us she's the biggest threat in the house but wants to talk to her more. Her Cirie-sense goes off about him. Of course, she won't let him know!

Jag talks about being a Sikh with Hisam. He says people see the turban instead of a person. He wants to be a good example. Hisam is of Arabic descent. Hisam also wants to be seen past the stereotype.

Felicia, Mecole, Izzy, Bowie and Cirie talk. Felicia tells them that the Scary Room has an alliance, and they need to firm one. Felicia calls them the Bye Bye Bitches after a sign on the wall in their Comics Room -- originally said by Janelle!

Cameron has a Mickey Mouse hairdo. The Handful want to bring in Jared, Cory and America into their alliance. Cory is now confident. Jared tells his mother about the alliance. He is about to become a double agent. She is nervous that she's being left out and doesn't want to be a target.

Kirsten talks to us. She tells us that she will keep her enemies closer and ally with Reilly if she wins the veto.

Veto players pick time! Reilly draws Hisam. Kirsten draws Blue. Felicia draws Cameron. 

Cirie wants to tell Hisam about the alliance because Felicia is cool and she doesn't want her coming off the block. Hisam is upset that there's an 8 person alliance and he's not in it.

To the backyard for the Veto Comp! From the Humiliverse ... all get an "atomic wedgie." They have to set 35 flowers on a base -- if one falls, they get pulled in the air by their "underwear." Cirie is hosting. They all get whipped up into the air, then get sprayed with water. Cameron almost had it but knocked his stack down.

HISAM WINS THE POWER OF VETO!

Kirsten is trying to talk Hisam into saving her. He tells her he won't be making a hasty decision.

Time for the Veto Meeting. Hisam does NOT use the veto. We don't get speeches from either nominee. He says he could never decide between the two of them.

BB25: Luke Removed from the BB House Bulletin - Aug. 9

 

STATEMENT FROM CBS AND THE PRODUCERS: “Luke violated the BIG BROTHER code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur. He has been removed from the house. His departure will be addressed in Thursday night’s show.”

See my last post for details on what happened.

Those who have Luke in the blog pool will be reassigned to a new hamster. Right now, the house is in adoptable animals mode probably telling the others that he's gone.

BB25: Live Feeds Overnight into Wednesday - Aug. 9

 

Luke did NOT say that word, did he?

Here's what's been happening in the overnight hours inside that Big Brother House of Nasty Narwhals:

• Okay, we have what will probably be the first TMZ mention of the season.
• I am going to go out of order here, bear with me.
• Luke said the n-word while in the room with Hisam, Cory and Jared.
• He tried to correct it to "dude" and the feeds quickly went to the Nether Region colonoscopy screen.
• Hisam and Cory were shocked and pretty much immediately left the room.
• He used the word as an expression, not really targeting. But that's something white people cannot and should not do. I personally don't like hearing it when black people are referring to each other.
• How did Jared react?
• Very graciously. 
• As Luke apologized over and over again, even to the point of saying that he meant to say "narwhal," Jared told him not to worry.
• Jared told him that white people (like Cory and Hisam) get more offended over that kind of mention than black people.
• All does seem good with Jared about it ... but the others and the internet might hold a different position.
• Hisam came back in and seemed over it. 
• Both Hisam and Jared advised Luke to really watch himself, but they did it friendly-like.
• In other bad news, Cameron continues to browbeat and gaslight Reilly.
• He has told her he thinks of her as a daughter.
• He has twice told her that that if they weren't on television, he would hit her.
• It's like watching a wannabe David Koresh get his start. (If you don't know who that was, look it up.)
• He has broken Reilly.
• And Kirsten is broken as well.
• Cory wants to throw a sympathy vote for Kirsten.
• Everyone feels sorry for her.
• But ... Jared has a good point. It's a game and she did it to herself.
• She thinks (and could be right) that she will be going to the Nether Region and may have a chance to return.
• Mama Cirie is understanding and consoling to both Reilly and Kirsten.
• She even told Hisam they need to offer her consolation and understanding.
• Cirie told him it's the right thing to do; it goes beyond the game.
• Of course, she will vote out Kirsten in a heartbeat.
• But Kirsten will leave with only love in her heart for Cirie.
• In other news, Jag took off his turban for the evening and the Have Nots were able to feast at midnight their time.
• That's the interesting stuff in a large nutshell.
• Laters!

This game changes people.

All fun and games until ...

Jag shows up to the party without his turban.

Cameron is toxic for Reilly! Get him away!

She's going to break!
