BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday - Aug. 19

 

I sense danger ahead ... maybe.

Good morning! What are those Rascally Rabbits up to inside the Big Brother House? Here goes:

• Okay, now every single person except Hisam knows of the Backdoor Hisam plan.
• Y'see, Cameron couldn't resist telling Red, the only one beside Hisam who wasn't in on it, the plan.
• Red told him he wanted to bring it up to Felicia.
• No! No! Cameron told him to keep it to himself.
• But what if I suggested the idea to Felicia to see how she reacts? 
• No! No! Just leave it alone!
• But could Red leave it alone?
• Nope.
• He was talking to Bowie (who has been seen more in the last few days than in the last few weeks) and told her he really wanted to talk to Felicia because he felt like something was going on and he wasn't in on it.
• Bowie ran to Izzy, then Felicia to warn her.
• So, the talk went down.
• As they talked, with both Bowie and Cirie in the room, Felicia told him her plan was to evict Jag. If Jag or he (Cameron) came off the block, it would be Matt on the block.
• Red kept talking and suggested that this could be the opportunity to backdoor someone ... someone the whole house would go for.
• That was enough for Felicia to suggest Hisam.
• Red was all over that suggestion and acted all gung-ho.
• He said that Hisam was NOT in the room when the original Professors started but he (Red) was.
• He suggested bringing in Cameron in the Professors to replace Hisam. Um. Er. He still has no clue that if all doesn't work out, it will be Cameron going home instead of Jag.
• By the way, Red's hillbilly accent all but disappears unless he's playing his persona for the camera or to entertain others.
• Will Red not tell Hisam?
• I think he just might keep the secret. If he's thinking long term, Hisam is so good at comps and is a huge threat. Plus, he thinks he has the Professors plus side alliances.
• Actually, he is on the short list for eviction with many in the house, both major sides.
• I'm not sure that evicting Hisam will bring both sides of the house together as much as some of the hamsters think it will. But most are saying now that that's one goal and mini-alliances between camps are indeed forming. Will they last? I just don't know.
• Meanwhile, Hisam is as happy as a clam at high tide -- when the predators are away. He thinks it's a smooth ride this week.
• He has told others he doesn't want to play for or win the veto and feels he needs to back off winning comps for a bit. He is sure Jag will be voted out or Matt will be a replacement nomination and he will be evicted.
• Everyone wants him to keep thinking that. They need him to think that for the plan to come to fruition.
• The problem I see with the plan, other than a possible veto win by Hisam, is that too many people know and there is too much time to keep it secret. Of course, by after the Monday veto meeting if all goes down, all will be in the open. That should be very entertaining!
• In other secrets news -- Jared and Blue.
• They are getting closer and closer.
• Jared told her he has a secret but can't say it all right now. Hmm.
• Now, to his credit, he did lie in the bits he told her.
• He told her his mother lived in CT, his Pops in NJ. That much may be true. I really don't know the status of Cirie and his father.
• He went on to tell her he has 11 brothers and mentioned at least one sister. As far as I know, he has two brothers in real life, no sisters.
• Then he made comments about knowing what the aftermath of being on a game show like this would be ... as he was on one before. But then he cut off saying he can't say any more about it.
• Oh my. If he's telling her all of this less than three weeks into the show, how is the secret about his mother going to last three months?
• There is a lot of buzz going around about the Jared/Blue showmance.
• Right now, I see them growing closer and closer talking. 
• Will it go physical? With Cirie in the house, I don't think he would dare. But, then again, he is indeed a grown man even if Cirie thinks of him as her little baby boy. I personally can't see the two of them clicking after the game unless he wins. An exterminator, unless he owns the company, doesn't really jibe with a social media influencer type too well.
• I do wish he would tell her to stop wearing that stupid roller on her bangs 24/7 except during comps and the live shows. I don't even see what effect it has on her bangs!
• That's the major excitement of the feeds into the time they all bedded down.
• The POV comp is today.
• When I know, you will know.
• Laters!

Blue ain't nothin' to him. Yeah, right.

Practicing his sad face.

Backdoor Hisam? Cool, Red!

I felt left out of the loop.

BB25: Live Feeds - Nominations are in! - Aug. 18

 

The live feeds were blocked for the nominations ceremony -- at least at the start. We had a hot mic session for the start of it all! They already had adoptable animals for a good half hour or more. I had the feeds minimized and volume low when I heard, "It's time for the nominations ceremony." Say what?!? Heh. Numerous invites from Felicia trying to get the line right telling them to gather for the nominations ceremony! The producer is telling them to check their mics. Maybe he should check his! He lectured them on mic placement, then WHAM. The theme music blared. So, we know the actual ceremony started at 6:45PM ET.

However, the feeds came back at 7:20PM ET. As expected, Felicia nominated Jag and Cameron. No fireworks, no fisticuffs. Hisam thinks just about everything is going as planned. Um, yeah, Hisam. We'll know more about going to plan after the veto comp tomorrow. Wink, wink.

If you are unaware of the plan, check out my last post.

BB25: Live Feeds Pre-Nominations - Aug. 18

 

Whatever will Felicia do?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Geriatric Gerbil HOH:

• As you know from my last post, Felicia won HOH.
• Yes, really.
• Of course, Cirie and Izzy are in her ear.
• But the plan is in motion and, so far, she's handling the HOH one on ones so much nicer than did Hisam.
• Oh? The plan?
• Put up Cameron and someone else from the other side, someone wins the veto, Hisam gets backdoored.
• If it goes to fruition, we're likely to see another unanimous vote, hopefully the last of the season.
• Matt, bereft and teary last night over the loss of Reilly, did cheer up when, in his talk with Felicia, she assured him she won't put him on the block no matter what.
• She says she knows she herself is an underdog as is he due to his hearing issues. No way will she put his game in danger.
• (At least, not at this time.)
• She also told him of the backdoor Hisam plan.
• She talked to Jag telling him she will most likely put him up as a pawn with Cameron. If no one uses the veto, Cameron is the one who has rubbed folks the wrong way, not him. Cam would be evicted.
• She told him of the Backdoor Hisam plan.
• Jag brought up Hisam winning the veto and taking Cam off.
• In reply, she told him her replacement would be Red and Red has less folks backing him than Jag.
• Jag told her he would rather the sides dissipate and everyone each play their own games. She said that would be a lot less stressful.
• Even though all were ticked at Jag yesterday for apparently going around shortly before the live show saying the vote had flipped trying to get people to keep Reilly, he is not the target this week.
• Matt, America and Jag compared notes. All believe Felicia is being honest.
• Now, is this her real plan?
• I actually think so. I'm a bit irked at BB production people who keep switching off feeds when I'm trying to follow a conversation.
• So, there's always a chance I might miss something.
• However, even though Hisam is back to nice guy again, he had every single person in the house angry at his HOH reign -- and that had only a bit to do with nominating Reilly. It's the way he treats people when he has power, plus the fact that he's made himself a huge threat in comps. There may not be another great opportunity.
• Hisam has been told Jag is the target. He pushed for her to put Matt up with Jag just as Cirie said he would.
• Nope. Not gonna happen, Hisam!
• He's thrilled to death that Felicia won. He may change his mind Monday.
• Red has not been told of the Backdoor Hisam plan.
• Jag will play sad and campaign. Everyone plans to play along.
• Mecole is thinking the maths are mathing a bit better this week, will probably play along with the plan. Last week it would have just made a mad Hisam in the house. This week, if he goes, it doesn't matter how mad he is and it does break down the two sides in a combined effort.
• In other news, Matt and (I believe) America are Have Nots.
• Plus, BB is taking turns slime-showering all of them.
• Ew.
• In yet other news, Felicia got spices she requested in her HOH basket. She has a point -- garlic salt is NOT as good as garlic powder. Not the same at all.
• I will update after nominations come in, I'll post a bulletin.
• But I expect the noms to be Cameron and Jag.

Don't get REAL comfortable Bertha!

Can Jared look any more like Cirie?

She just started appearing yesterday.

Poor Matt was bereft last night.

BB25: We Have an HOH Winner Bulletin - Aug. 17/18

Hisam must have hosted

 Yes, we have a new HOH in the house! No, we didn't see the comp play out on the live feeds.

FELICIA IS THE NEW HOH!

Really ... she is. I wouldn't lie to you. 

Felicia has the key!

BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Aug. 17

 

Good evening! We know for sure there will be an eviction tonight. What we don't know is whether it will be Reilly or Cameron heading out the door. In my opinion, he irks me and she cries too much. So, it's no skin off my nose or whatever saying fits which one leaves. I have personally given up the thought that we will have a live HOH comp on the show. It seems that the producers have that set for Sunday evening show content these days. If the HOH comp plays out on the live feeds tonight, I will cover the action in a new live feeds post.

I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. As I will constantly be updating, refreshing this page will give you the latest happenings. As always, the real party is in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

But first ... let's get that blog pool posted. If your hamster gets evicted tonight, you are out of the pool. No battle-backs! Luke and Kirsten's blog folks were reassigned due to expulsion and first eviction. But no more mercy! Sure, you can hang around with us and we can all BB fake hug you as you get the boot, but Lifeguard SueGee will take your names off and might even send you to the Nether Region. Ahem. She won't do that -- that sounds too disgusting. Here is where the blog pool stands going into the show:

Cory - Sharon N, Nickelpeed, Indiana Jane, deaflady

Felicia - Dr Celine, Auntie Leigh, NoraM, T-Town Chick

Reilly - KelseyNY, Cherry Pie, TS14Fan, KathyB

Let's get this show started! Hey, it's 9:02PM here. Where is the show? Ah, finally Ghosts is ending. That's odd.

Juie has kind of a cute light pinkish slacks and jacket on tonight. She tells us one will go home forever tonight. Then we are into the recap. 

Is there trouble in paradise with the Professors alliance? We find out tonight!

It's Day 16. Julie reminds us that Hisam is ruling the game with three comp wins in a row. 

But first ... Hisam's veto speech may not have gone over as planned. Reilly sniffles in the Diary Room about Hisam singling her out as his target in front of everyone.

Jag tells us that they have six votes to keep Reilly and they need one additional vote to keep her in. Izzy and Cirie think Hisam's speech may have gotten more sympathy than she had before. Cirie feels that she and Felicia could be safe. But she doesn't know if crossing Hisam would be good for her game.

Cirie talks to Matt, tells him that Reilly has been nothing but nice to her and Felicia. Cory, Blue and Izzy talk about Hisam's speech ... he was extra according to Izzy. Cirie and Felicia say they need to decide which move is the best for their own game.

Heh. We're into Cameron's thinking that Felicia is Denzel Washington's sister. That was hoot on the live feeds. He thinks mannerisms, the way she talks, etc. Bwahahaha!

Jag is talking to Cirie trying to get her to keep Reilly. He tells her it would be a blindside. Cirie is thinking about it because Hisam alienated so much of the house.

The Professors have a little party in the HOH room complete with beverages. He talks to them about how Reilly's group will scramble post-Reilly. Jag suggest Blue and Jared on the block. Oh my. Felicia and Cirie are ticked off that Hisam thinks he's totally in charge. He tells them to be mindful that others may try to create alliances with them.

Izzy tells Cirie that Hisam is going crazy, suggests backdooring Hisam next week. Felicia doesn't want him to target Jared. Suprisingly (heh), Cirie agrees.

Still in taped bits. Hisam decides he needs to go around talking to people and asks America what will go on post-Reilly, tells her Reilly split the house in two and he was actually trying to work with the other side. America thinks she might be able to use the information. She tells Cameron. He runs to Cirie, Izzy and Felicia with the news after America told him not to tell anyone. They talk to Mecole about it. Cirie says Bowie doesn't do well with a lot of information. Hisam's talk makes them feel like they are useless. 

Mecole tells us she's stressed. She doesn't know if getting Hisam angry at them is best for the house.

To the living room. 

Cameron - Reilly is amazing and incredible, Mom, love and solidarity with houseguests thanks all

Reilly - Compliments Julie, shout outs, built a family with houseguests, she is teary, hope to all remain friends.

The votes to evict:

Red -- Reilly

Bowie Jane -- Reilly

Jag -- Reilly

Cory -- Reilly

To commercial ...

Matt -- Reilly EEK!

Blue -- Reilly

Cirie -- Reilly

Felicia -- Reilly

America -- Reilly

Mecole -- Reilly

Izzy -- Reilly

Jared -- Reilly

Second unanimous vote. Reilly is expecting it. She hugs Cameron. Hisam hugs Matt and thanks him for voting her out. We see the BB fake hugs abound. Last and deepest hug went to Matt. 

After she goes out, Hisam runs around hugging all with a rather smug look on his face. 

She tells Julie that she told her alliance not to risk their games (Hisam fear) to save her if it looks like she won't have the vote. She is shocked when Julie tells her about Cirie/Jared. She is handling the interview very well and held up with the goodbye messages from Izzy and Matt, looked disappointed at Jag's goodbye.

Julie tells us the ScaryVerse is back next week. We got a sneak peek at what must be the HOH comp tonight. Pressure Cooker next week. But if the comp is on the feeds, I'll cover it. If it isn't I'll report on the winner. That's the next post!

HOH comp backyard

The BB Blog fake hugs go out to those out of the blog pool -- KelseyNY, Cherry Pie, TS14Fan, KathyB
