BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Aug. 15

 

Is it a throuple?

Before we get started, I'd like to mention that I've been putting tons of hours so far into this season's coverage plus I still have ongoing medical issues and bills from my hospital and nursing home stays last year. I do have a Buy Me a Coffee and PayPal donations links on the sidebar. If you would be so kind, it would definitely be appreciated. Merci!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of It's Not Even Waffle Wednesday:

• Okay, it's only Tuesday.
• A lot has changed since yesterday.
• A lot could change by Thursday.
• However, at this moment in time, Cirie is (as is her thang) changing the tide.
• It turns out that Hisam had a meeting with Jag and Blue. They formed a new alliance.
• This is without Hisam knowing what we all know about the plan to flip.
• When Cirie asked Jag about it, she asked if they had a name for the alliance.
• Jag said Hisam said they needed one.'
• Cirie is really irked that Hisam's new plans don't include her, Izzy or Felicia.
• Hisam went and told only Mecole about the new alliance, not Cirie or Felicia or anyone else in their alliance.
• Oh my. He claimed it was because they're Professors.
• Hmm.
• Izzy, Cirie, Matt and Reilly met up.
• Izzy claims it's better to work with sloppy (Reilly) than it is to work with unhinged (Hisam).
• Well, we know Izzy knows sloppy and unhinged! She wrote the book on it.
• Of course, Izzy didn't say that to Matt and Reilly.
• The four agreed to work together with Reilly supposed to be still acting like she's desperate and expecting to leave.
• No one is letting Red in on the new boot Cameron plan as he is closest to Cameron.
• They are working on wanting his vote to be the only one to keep Cameron.
• Or, letting him know last minute for a unanimous blindside.
• I don't care for unanimous house votes. But I certainly do like a good blindside!
• After they spoke to Mecole, she's still not jumping for joy about the plan but wants to vote with the majority.
• I'm sure the maths still aren't really mathing for her. But maybe it's more calculusing.
• Bowie wasn't initially in the plan. But since told, she will go along with it.
• Jared and Cory don't seem totally in on it.
• But Jared will do Mom's bidding and Cory will follow.
• Jared did tell Izzy that Jag and Blue are playing them.
• But we know Moms.
• Cory seems to be of the mind of "as long as it's not me."
  
• He doesn't like Cameron anyway although he's a bit leery of Reilly's crew. He will vote with the majority.
• Meanwhile, while looking at the Memory Wall, a comment was made by Jared to Felicia about how much he looks like her -- cheekbones, dimples. Felicia said looks like she could be his mother.
• Bwahaha! Then Denzel must be his uncle!
• Cirie told Izzy that if they do end up having a meeting with Hisam, she (Izzy) needs to take a seat and let her (Cirie) do the talking.
• Also, there's a pneumatic tube thing going on with four message deliveries today.
• I don't understand that one.
• One message was Cirie #17, one was about the HumiliVerse, two about the Nether Region.
• Hmm. Don't ask me. My crystal ball says UNCLEAR.
• So, right now the plan is Reilly stays, Cameron goes and we will have a SHOW to see Thursday!
• That is, unless it changes tomorrow.
• Laters!

Incognito couple?

Maths not mathing or are they?

Interesting camera angle for sure.

Thinks she has America's Vote!

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - Aug. 15

 

What? Izzy lost her animation? Nah, never.

Good morning! What's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Flipflopping Foolishness?

Well, I don't normally do this, but this might explain things in a nutshell --

• It's basically been a night of flipflopping with Izzy and Cirie.
• One minute they go with the idea of voting out Reilly, the next they want Cameron out.
• Apparently Hisam's veto speech was bad enough that the whole house -- both sides -- want him out sooner rather than later.
• Most are thinking that chance is next week as he cannot compete for HOH this week.
• Hisam himself must think he crossed a line as he has been apologizing to everyone.
• Cory has been fueling the Get Cameron Out bit by telling Cirie and Izzy that Hisam mentioned their names.
• Cory thinks he has a final two with Jared.
• We all know Jared's final two.
• Mecole has turned time alone in the storage room into live feeds gold as she rants in there.
• She thinks Izzy and Cirie are playing emotionally.
• And yes, they are indeed.
• I can't help but think Cirie is wiser than to believe that if they keep Reilly and Reilly and her minions get Hisam out next week, they aren't going to turn on their side.
• Sure, I do think if Reilly had her way, Cirie and Felicia would be the last of that side picked off, but ...!
• Meanwhile, as creepy as Cameron can be, he is a number for their side. I think Red can keep him in line.
• Oh, I don't know.
• It's chaos.

Gotta love Jag's color coordinating turbans.

These are not normal people.

Cirie tells Matt everyone loves him.

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?

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

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.
