Good evening! Tonight either Hisam or Cameron will get the boot! I'm sure that the show editing will try to deceive us ... as it always does. Will there be a blindside? Will the evicted hamster already know his imminent demise? Maybe. I guess we'll see.
CBS Big Brother has announced that the epic return of the 'Pressure Cooker' competition will indeed air on the live feeds. I took a nap and will be posting a constantly updated HOH endurance coverage post for it. Just refresh the blog right after the East Coast show airs (10PM ET, 7PM PT) to catch the post! I doubt we will see a 14-hour comp like we did in BB6. But, again ... we will see!
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. Here is where the blog pool stands going into tonight's show:
Oh my, Julie is fluffy, ruffley and flowery tonight. We'll sit through the recap.
We pick up the action after the veto meeting. Julie tells us alliances have crumbled and new ones have formed. Can Hisam handle the truth? Cameron thinks he's safe. Matt knows Hisam was campaigning against him and it will also be revenge for Reilly.
Hisam is feeling hurt. He says he is a king and should fight for himself. Felicia tells him she had an opportunity that she will probably never get again. He feels betrayed and looks confused and hurt. He tells her he's moving through the hurt. He tells us the move is stupid.
Then he talks with Izzy. He tells her he knows Cirie and her both know. Izzy tells him that she feels sick and just did her job to make him feel comfortable. She will not be told what to do and be called a leftover. She tells him that America said he said he was stuck with them.
He tells us it was a mistake and it wasn't his intention to change sides. He does admit to Izzy he was wrong. He tells us he betrayed them and needs to find a way to stay in the game.
Julie hints at a flip before we go into commercial.
Julie tells us Hisam's choices are to seek revenge or seek redemption. He tells us they are his family and he wants to work with them. He will try to earn their forgiveness and trust. He starts making his rounds with Felicia. She tells him he has some time to try to change people's minds. But she tells us "you reap what you sow."
So, the rounds have started. First Izzy. Family, have mercy, forgive me, give me a chance to be better, will let bygones be bygones. Izzy does feel bad. She accepts their apology and he asks for a hug. Then it's on to Cirie. Same talk with her. She asks about revenge. He knows if he stays, he will be the biggest target in the house. Cirie tells us teary-eyed that she has to take it into consideration ... he's redeemable.
Now Felicia, Cirie and Izzy are talking about maybe sending Cameron home instead. They decide to talk to Hisam. Felicia tells him she needs to know he won't come after her. They hug. Izzy suggests a new start. He tells us he is fiercely loyal and fiercely protective, will make sure they are protected and loyal. The flip suggestion is on. The three have to look outside the Professors to make the flip work. They believe him. Cirie says flipping would alienate so many others in the house.
We're heading to the living room.
Cameron - Tells Hisam interesting week. Shout-out. Closer to all the HG, love you.
Hisam - Shout outs, time to reflect. Multiple mistakes. Asking to have kindness, generosity and loyalty. Always on your side.
Yep, another unanimous vote (with cause this time). Hisam is evicted. Fake hugs all around time. But he does seem a bit sincere, hugs Izzy, Felicia and Cirie a bit more than the others. He goes to the stage with his rather annoying ha-ha-ha-ha laugh. I don't know anyone who actually laughs by going ha-ha-ha. The Scary globe goes red. Kaysar shows up. Tells them it's their turn for the Pressure Cooker, the ScaryVerse makes it even tougher, good luck, you'll need it.
Interview time. Ha-ha-ha. He thinks he trusted the wrong people. Ha-ha-ha. Julie says his HOH was referred to as a dictatorship. He says he wanted all of them to make it. He's a doctor. Listening to what people had to say, blinded. Julie tells him about Cirie/Jared. He didn't know and says it makes sense ... they look alike. He says good for them, hope they go to the end. He thinks they are doing a good job. Goodbye messages from Cirie, Izzy, Matt, Blue. Matt's wasn't really nice, a three strikes bit but polite. To me, Blue was much more rude than need be.
We will get an America's Vote. Comic-Verse, one hamster gets a super power, top four compete, power is to save one evicted hamster (not ones already out). It will come to fruition next Thursday.
The comp is starting. They are in a large enclosure - "Revenge of the Pressure Cooker" -- finger on button, no sitting, no kneeling, can swat, can only leave box when three are out. They each have to take a numbered card on the way out, some are good, some bad. It's dark and we go to a night vision cam.
