BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Aug. 17

 

A rare Bowie Jane sighting!

Good morning fellow hamster voyeurs! Before we get going with this, I would like to thank those who donated to the blog. I did notice an issue with the Buy Me a Coffee system. They apparently don't accept payments from credit cards outside the United States. I had two CC payments for $5 each, one from Brazil, the other Belgium, that failed. (Yes, my statistics show I have readers from pretty much all over the world which I find very cool.) I do appreciate the efforts of those two readers, though. I believe PayPal does accept bank payments outside the US, plus makes it easier for me to thank folks. Thank you all again!

So ... what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Drama Llamas?

• Cirie is trying to backpedal to Jag and Reilly over the flip. She has Izzy with her for the talk but told her to be quiet.
• Just on Tuesday it looked like the Save Reilly campaign might result in a near unanimous vote.
• But then common sense and the long game plan came to Cirie and Izzy.
• Why would they get Hisam, the condescending King of Comps on their side, mad at them this early in the game?
• As Mecole so wisely put it the other day -- the math is not mathing up.
• Sure, everybody is upset with Hisam and he put a huge target on his back.
• Hisam cannot play for HOH this week.
• But if nominated, he CAN play for veto. Although odds are against someone winning four comps in a row, it could happen. He's that good at both physical and mental comps.
• Now, if he just had a social game!
• Cirie is trying to convince Jag and Reilly that their own side is lying to them and will vote Reilly out, so she and Izzy must follow suit.
• "It's not my doing and I can't control it. People want to vote with the house."
• Hmm. Actually, right now, it looks like there won't be a house vote this week. Things will probably split along the battle lines of the two sides.
• That leaves people like Cory and Jared stuck.
• Both have been playing both sides of the house and they will have to show their cards.
• Reilly's bunch claims they want to target the floaters (after Hisam).
• But they do consider Cirie a player.
• They seem very unsure of Cory, Mecole, Bowie and Red.
• America seems way iffy. When she's with Reilly's bunch, she's with them. When she's talking to Izzy and Cory, she's with them voting out Reilly.
• I can't figure the truth although I'm leaning towards her voting out Reilly as she just formed a little alliance with Mecole.
• But, then again, America is the one who planted the seed with Blue and Jag that Cirie and Izzy are the leaders of that side.
• Cirie thinks it was Reilly calling them the ringleaders.
• Cirie told Red that the other side was going to go after him, Bowie and Mecole as they were "middle players" AKA floaters.
• Red went to Hisam telling him that Matt was upset with him (Hisam) over feeling that he threatened him, and America was playing both sides. They both agreed the next target should be Matt.
• Jared and Blue's continued friendship continues to grow.
• Eventually that will clash with Mama Cirie.
• At the moment, it looks like Reilly will be voted out.
• But even for me, it's hard to tell the concrete votes other than a few to do that.
• Laters!

No one is targeting Matt ... for the moment.

Why does she even talk to him?

Felicia's laugh is infectious!

Will the friendmance go showmance?

We aren't the ringleaders!

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 16

Good evening! I hope everyone is well. I want to thank those who have recently donated to the blog. With my medical bills and ongoing health issues it's deeply appreciated!

Tonight is the Veto comp episode. We have Reilly and Cameron on the block. Will one be saved? Some of us might already know, but ... shhh. Let them show it on the show!

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!

Sitting through the "Previously on" segment. We know this stuff!

We finally pick up with a teaser about who gets sent to the Nether Region next and the PoV comp which has them spinning records. There's an article out there about how the comp was adapted for Matt's deafness.

Hisam tells us Reilly is his target. He's putting Cameron next to her to see the other side "splinter and crumble." We get both nominees telling us how they feel about being nominated. We get Hisam treating Reilly in a real condescending patronizing manner. I can't blame her for being upset.

They are looking at the pictures on the Memory Wall (which just showed up this week). The Scary ball in the living room is flashing red. Jag returns. Jag has no message for them. He's safe for the week, doesn't know what the Nether Gorgon will ask him to do.

Hisam tells Matt he thinks Matt and Reilly are in a showmance. Hisam wants Matt to think saving Reilly would be dangerous to his game. Matt doesn't take too kindly to being threatened. Matt tells Reilly if he wins the veto, he will take her down.

Scary globe lights up again and they get a message. Jag has returned but the Gorgon Monster wants more souls. Jag must pick, that person cannot compete in the veto comp. Jag tells us he wants to confer with Hisam so Hisam thinks it's his idea. Hisam doesn't like Jag's Red idea. He decides to ask for volunteers. Everybody is telling him no. Bowie says she's good to whatever. Reilly wants Red to go because he would take Cameron down, Matt would probably go up.

Jag tells us it's not an easy decision. He goes with Bowie Jane. No one seems thrilled except maybe Bowie. She tells us she wanted to keep Red to possibly play for the veto. 

Now Reilly feels betrayed by both Jared and Jag. Hisam ain't happy either and says that Jag is lucky he's safe this week.

Veto comp playera pick time! Hisam draws first - Matt. Heh. Cameron gets America. Reilly draws Houseguest Choice, chooses Blue. All from the other side has Hisam hanging his head while Reilly's allies dance.

Cirie, Izzy and Hisam talk. Hisam is fussing about the picks. Cirie says it's "balls to the wall" and everybody is gunning for this veto.

Veto time. Hottest music store in ScrambleVerse. Have to spin a record to get three clues to find the task they need to accomplish. Three tasks in fastest time wins. The backyard is done up like an old record/music store.

They do the comp individually. Cameron is up first. The piano is a toilet seat! Eep. America is up next. This is a strange and different kind of comp than we've seen before. I do hope they sanitized that tuba between players. Matt is now up. Matt has trouble finding the peeano toilet. He also had to read the sign on the tuba because he had no idea what a tuba is. Blue is next, more confusion. Hisam time. He seems to be going through it fast. Reilly time. And into commercial when she finishes!

Results: Top three times. 3rs place is Blue 2.36. Second 2.10 is Cameron. 1st is Hisam with 1.45. (Thise are minutes and seconds.) HISAM wins the Power of Veto. Lots of fake hugs going around. No, they are NOT all happy he won!

ScaryVerse globe is lighting up -- the return of Bowie Jane. She says she has nothing to report. 

Hisam talks to Reilly. Well, she went to him. He tells her he doesn't want to "get any more blood on his hands." He will probably tell the others she is his target, and he wants them to vote her out at the veto meeting. Not a good talk for Reilly.

Veto Meeting time! Hisam doesn't use the veto. Says he loves Reilly but she is his target, she mentioned his name, caused the house to split early and wants everyone to vote her out.

Oh my. Cirie is not happy with her buddy Hisam. Most seemed rather shocked he was that blatant.

BB25: Live Feeds Overnight into Wednesday - Aug. 16

Okay, it's Wednesday

Did y'all read my live feeds report from yesterday (this here link)? Go read it, please. I mistakenly labeled it as Monday evening, but it was last night, Tuesday.

Now, forget about it. Well, except for maybe the witty screen cap captions! And my humble asking for donations, please!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Welcome to Waffle Wednesday:

• Before Tuesday night was out there, but it was Wednesday here on the East Coast ... WAFFLE TIME.
• Izzy and Cirie realized that if they make Hisam that angry at them for flipping to keep Reilly he could win the veto, then HOH the next week and guess who his targets would be?
• Instead of those on the other side of the house, it would be those who betrayed him.
• Yet, if Cameron wins HOH, he would put Hisam on the block.
• Or, pretty much anyone else would do it.
• As both Cory and Jared (two who were reluctant to be in on the boot Cameron plan) pointed out, Cirie was thinking Survivor 30 day time mode while BB is a long game of 100 days. It's too soon to hit that!
• And, we all know that Mecole, who is called MeMe in the house, says ... those maths just ain't mathing!
• Cirie and Izzy decided to sleep on it and tell everyone in the morning that the plan is off.
• Instead, they told everyone ... including Reilly ... before bed.
• When they talked to Hisam, not telling him of the flip or the flop either, he told them how happy he was to have people around him he could trust.
• He also spoke of a fake alliance he set up with Blue and Jag.
• So, the plan is back to evicting Reilly this week.
• Everyone is onto Hisam issues, though. The target on his back really couldn't get much bigger.
• While his interrogations were fun to watch, he became the poster boy for HOHitis.
• One thing this mess did was getting some who hadn't talked to each other talking.
• Of course, things may change by tomorrow.
• Laters!

We never liked that plan anyway.

We'll sleep on it then tell everyone it's changed.

I said the MATH ISN'T MATHING!

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?

Trying to channel his inner Ian.

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 --

— BB Lion🦁 (@BBLionOteV) August 15, 2023

• 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.
