BB25: Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting Over - Aug. 14

 

It was a tense time ...

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Blasting Adoptable Pets Feed Block Music:

• Yeah, turn that stuff DOWN, BB Production!
• The Veto Meeting was held today, blocked to the live feeds, of course.
• And with deafening blaring theme music.
• It went down result-wise as expected -- Hisam did not use the veto and Cameron/Reilly remain on the block.
• What most didn't expect, nor did it go over well, was that Hisam apparently was needlessly cruel in his speech declaring Reilly the target.
• Cirie feels that he kicked Reilly while she was already down.
• With the exception of Cameron, all seemed a bit set aback by Hisam's harsh treatment of Reilly.
• That just makes the target on Hisam, even from his own alliance, that much bigger.
• I do think most, perhaps everyone except Matt, will cave in and vote out Reilly.
• Sure, NOW Hisam apologizes to her and tells her that it was never his intent to be unkind. @@
• I personally would rather Reilly stay over Cameron.
• But they don't ask me what to do!

On his hair alone, I would vote him out.

Reading the Bible

He thinks they can't do without him.

BB25: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday - Aug. 14

 

How would he play on his own?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Long Feed Blocks:

• The mess continues to get messier.
• Jared thinks Cirie is playing too hard and fast. After all, Survivor would be half over by now yet BB has just started.
• Cirie went into a deal with Jag and Reilly.
• Or she didn't.
• Hisam's game of "integrity, inclusivity and trust" is rubbing his own people the wrong way.
• Like Reilly before him, he has developed a severe case of HOHitis.
• Izzy, not one to want to "obey" any man, is really irked at him. She feels he is using his principles as a weapon.
• She thinks he doesn't even give Mecole or Bowie a moment to talk before shutting them down.
• No respect!
• Jag and Reilly tried to make a deal with the devil, er ... Cirie
• Actually, Cirie would prefer Reilly stay over Cameron. But if voting to keep her will put her in a spot, nope.
• The Professors had a party with Hisam's HOH wine -- the first alcohol imbibing I've seen this season.
• Hisam is so good at judging other people that he should realize the tide is changing in the way they are thinking of him.
• Jared thinks it's too soon for Cirie to target Hisam. They have a lot of days left to play and he will be a larger target than them.
• Jared, on a personal level, is worried about Matt and how Matt pretty much only talks to Reilly and Jag.
• Cory talked to us.
• Or to himself.
• He is really clicking with Jared but feels it would be dangerous for Jared to go to the end -- he's too good a player.
• Cory still doesn't see the family resemblance between Jared and Cirie.
• While the Reilly side of the house has definitely imploded, I see cracks appearing on the Professor side.
• No one else went to the Nether Region after Bowie returned.
• We don't know what consequences Bowie has.
• Jared and Cory call others "bro" and "dude" too much regardless of gender.
• Yeah, that last one is my personal irk.
• Anyway, it still looks like Hisam will not use the veto and that Reilly will be out the door on Thursday.
• Veto Meeting later today.
• Laters!

On a side note -- I'm so old. (How old are you?) I'm so old that I recognized the houses in last night's episode. The one on the left was the set of the last Douglas family home in My Three Sons. So the BB hamsters never made it off the lot.

What if you gave a party and no one had fun?

Wants Character of the Season award.

Has friend updating her Instagram with daily outfits.

Always watching and listening.

What did she bring back from the Nether Region?

Making a deal with the devil?

BB25: HOH Competition Show Blog Party - Aug. 13

BB IS DELAYED ON THE EAST COAST. RIGHT NOW IT IS 7:55PM EDT AND GOLF IS STILL ON. AFTER GOLF, WE WILL HAVE TO SIT THROUGH 60 MINUTES. I WILL UPDATE WHEN I KNOW THE TIME THE SHOW WILL START. 

UPDATE: 60 MINUTES STARTED AT 8:13PM EDT. EXPECT BB25 AT 9:13PM EDT.

Whoa! So much has happened on the live feeds (except for really long blockages) that I have forgotten where the show is at! But it's all coming back to me now ...

I will be live-blogging, constantly updating this post as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! The real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

But first ... this is the third and final version of our blog pool. When Luke got the boot, his blog folks were reassigned. At least one was reassigned to Kirsten who went out immediately after. So, in the interest of fairness to all, those assigned to Kirsten have been reassigned. From this point forward, when your hamster is out, you are out of the pool. Well, you can hang out at the pool, but ...!

Let's go! Okay, it's now 9:11PM EDT and 60 Minutes has ended. Bring on BB!

We begin with the traditional recap going over the many alliances and happenings.

Where did the houseguests go? We will find out tonight. Day 09 has them in a neighborhood in the Nether Region of the ScaryVerse. One will become HOH, one will be left behind in the Nether Region. Reilly cannot play. She can escape now or remain for eternity there.

The NetherGorgon will attack different areas but give them clues where they can be safe. There are limited spaces to hide in each spot. If he attacks "your" area, you are eliminated.

It's safe to be where crows number more than three, ax, doll with no left arm. (Odd clues indeed.) Blue is out, along with Mecole and Cameron. There were not enough crows on the porch to protect them.

Clues: Keep out sign, seven candles, rats and spiders. Those are the safe area. Jag out. America out. Cirie and Izzy out.

Clues: Any zone six bones, doll with a backwards head, ten links in one chain. Cory out (he threw it), Felicia out, Red out. Bowie Jane out. Down to just Hisam and Jared in it.

Clues: Two doors, search Nether Region for three carvings which lead them to the door. The first to the right door transported to HOH room, loser remains in Nether Region. Jared picks a door first and Hisam has to go to the other one. Hisam's door opens, Jared is stuck there! The carvings all together read "Don't choose the door that starts with 4." Jared had chosen 486 because he was missing a clue and knew 4 was a clue, just not that he wasn't supposed to choose it!

Now Jared is on the screen from the Nether Region. Cirie is worried. Hisam is the new HOH.

So, now the show suggests a showmance with Matt and Reilly. Can't they go until one actually develops? Reilly's crew knows it's a house divided and they will likely lose someone.

Jared is on the screen again. He doesn't say much of what's going on. 

Hisam tells Felicia that Reilly is a target because she mentioned taking him out. He had confronted her, and she admitted it. Felicia said if Reilly goes that whole side will crumble. Hisam talks to Matt. He tells him he knows there is a name for their alliance and Matt denies it. Matt is on the spot and not being all that honest with Hisam.

The ScaryVerse ball is glowing and Jared is back from the Nether Region. They get a clue. Cameron reads the others will be sent to the Nether Region, could be good or bad. Jared has to choose one to send -- that person will be safe from nominations as he/she will not be there. He talks to Hisam who tells him not to send Matt, Reilly or Cameron. He talks to all and is torn. Cirie suggests Jag. Reilly confronts him and begs him to save her.

The Nethergorgon wants the next soul. Jared chooses Jag. Reilly looks upset. She tells us it doesn't make sense that he didn't guarantee her safety. Jag tells us he doesn't know either.

Hisam talks to Izzy and Cirie, tells them that Reilly is his target. Does he put up Cameron or Matt with her? Both women suggest Cameron. Hisam goes on to let Cameron know he may go on the block with Reilly but that she would be the target.

Nominations Ceremony time. Jag shows on the screen. Hisam nominates Reilly, then Cameron. Hisam tells them he is playing with integrity and purpose. Jared feels bad.

BB25: Veto Comp is FINALLY Over! - Aug. 13

 

Is it the cast of That '70s Show?

Here's a rather brief update of Veto Comp Day House Happenings:

• The Veto players picks were done.
• We have Hisam, Reilly and Cameron plus Matt, Blue and America.
• From what they have said -- Hisam and Cameron both got Houseguest Choice chips.
• Hisam chose Matt (to put that loyalty to the test, I guess) and, to everyone's surprise in the house, Cameron chose Blue. They all thought he would choose Red.
• I could make a political joke about that, but I won't.
• Jag is safe from nomination because of his Nether Region trip but seems to have lost his vote.
• Not sure what will befall Jared and Bowie Jane as consequences for their Nether Region trips.
• I haven't seen Bowie Jane return as of pre-comp.
• The ScrambleVerse light is on in the house.
• America told Reilly who told Blue and Jag that Hisam said they have nothing without Reilly. Now, that was just after she agreed to work with Hisam. Okaaay. I don't think that was what he meant by work with him!
• The feeds went down long ago for the comp. I'm just waiting on a winner here.
• And waiting.
• And waiting.
• The feeds went down around 5:20ish PM my time (EDT).
• I gave up and went to bed thinking the hamsters will surely be sleeping when the feeds return.
• I had the live feeds open with the theme music playing figuring I would wake up when I heard voices.
• Nope.
• While I will say I wasn't in bed a full night worth, the live feeds are STILL down at going for 11AM here on the east coast!
• 12:18PM ET at the feeds return. Then go away again.
• We had Hisam and Felicia talking about the Nether Region.
• They obviously had gone to bed and now were awake.
• Jag is talking to Reilly and Matt about working from now on with Cirie, Felicia and Izzy to flip the house.
• Hmm.
• Bowie is back. The yard is open.
• Hisam won the veto.

The return of the live feeds ... after 18 hours.

Has he changed his secondary target?

When you're Blue ... putting on the Ritz?

BB25: Live Feeds Still Down Bulletin - Aug. 13

 I am not ignoring you. The live feeds went down for the Veto competition yesterday at around 5:20PM ET and are still down as I post this around 10:30AM ET.
