BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 30

 

Good evening! I hope those blog readers in Florida have made it through the hurricane okay!

Tonight is the Veto comp episode. We have Jag and Blue on the block. Will someone win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees? Ohh ... the suspense! (Well, if you don't follow the live feeds, there is suspense!)

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!

Once again I will sit through the "Previously on" segment. I mean, how many times can we see Hisam evicted?

Hints that Jared may spill his big secret as well as a duo round-up and mistrust of Izzy. We pick up the action as the Nominations Ceremony ends. Cameron tells us that he has a plan if the veto is used. Would that be Izzy? Cirie is thinking Cam is staying in with the fake alliance they set up.

Blue is teary speaking to Jared about being on the block ... especially with Jag. Cory tells America that he has a secret. The fact that his brother was on Survivor and voted out in 17th place. Heh. America decides to tell him her secret ... Brown University, biology. Cory decides he wants to go deep into the game with her.

Red and Cameron talk about (the fake) Legend 25 Alliance. Cameron thinks that he and Red are the low ones on the power totem pole. Again, Izzy is the target of their conversation. Cameron tells Red that Izzy is his backdoor option. Cam doesn't like the trio of Cirie, Felicia and especially Izzy.

Jag's chicken costume punishment is over. He takes the costume off in the backyard in a fun chicken strip show.

To Jared and Blue now. (Ew.) He tells US that he wants to give Blue a half-truth to test her trust. He tells her ... what if I'm related to Mama Felicia? He refuses to promise or pinky-swear. She tells us that someone might be related. She thinks it's more likely that it could be Cirie. He has dropped many clues, even his mother has been on Survivor four times.

Cameron tells Matt that he's his boy and he will never leave him behind. He wants to test Matt's level of trust. He talks of three people being very tight and "we're" expendable. Cam tells Matt not to tell about his proposed new alliance. Matt runs to Cirie about Cam's new alliance plans. Matt really wants to work with Cirie.

Cory and America's flirtmance continues. They went under the covers and Izzy thinks they should throw condoms at them. But the condoms have are missing. They know someone must have used them! Jared ...? Blue ...?

Time to pick the Veto players! Cameron draws Houseguest Choice and goes for Red. Blue draws Jared. Jag draws Mecole. Mecole tells us she wants both of them to stay on the block. Cirie doesn't want Jared to use the veto if he wins because she thinks one of them will go on the block.

Time for the veto comp! It's all set up as the Temple of Power. It's a ComicVerse comp. Ancient riddle, balance artifacts on the pillars to match the artifact weights to reveal letters and unscramble the letters revealed to solve the riddle. Fastest time wins.

Blue is up first. She gets the word Golden and is happy with her time. Cameron up next. He tells us he doesn't want to win due to increased target; he wants Red to win. Mecole next. The letters kept falling off the wall costing her time. Jared next. He has trouble coming up with the word "golden." Red next. He goes through it quickly. Jag is up. He went through with one hiccup on the artifact weighing bit.

The results: Top Three times -- 3. 3:18 Cam, 2. 2:41 Jag, 1. 2:20 Red.

RED wins the Power of Veto!

Blue and Jag are both sad. They decide they each have to advocate for themselves. Blue is teary-eyed in the Diary Room and thinks highly of Jag. They hug.

Meanwhile, Cam and Red are celebrating in the HOH room. Cam thinks they can keep the noms the same or take one down to shake up the house. Cam tells Red putting up Izzy would be "one hell of a move."

Time for the veto meeting. Red doesn't use the veto. Jag and Blue remain on the block. We get the obligatory Diary Room bits from Jag and Blue. Jag will unleash the Turbinator. Cam thinks not using it keeps them in the favor of their larger alliance.

We get a teaser for the Super Power to be revealed tomorrow on the live show.

BB25: Live Feeds into Waffle Wednesday - Aug. 30

Who's that cool dude? Oh. Cory.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blocked Feeds Gone Rampant:

• I don't have all that much to report since my update in my last report.
• If you didn't see my report, the America Votes invincibility comp went down.
• No, we didn't see the comp.
• In alphabetical order, each hamster was called and left, presumably to somewhere outside the house (not the yard).
• They were each gone for 25 minutes.
• They don't know what the power is but do know it's an America Votes thing -- so basically a popularity contest with the fans.
• All lied upon returning, saying they didn't make it. But they know and we know four did.
• The winner was supposed to be told last night, probably why the feeds went down for good until they were all in bed.
• Throughout the whole latter part of yesterday, we would have about three minutes of feeds, then blocked for 15 minutes.
• It was very annoying and really uncalled for!
• The only two who won as part of the four that I can confirm are Cirie and Matt. They told each other they were in the four. Neither seemed real confident about how they did.
• Cirie also told Izzy and Felicia, but not Jared. Heh.
• Both Jared and Blue obviously didn't win as both are out of sorts and downplaying the whole America Votes thing.
• There is a lot of speculation that America won into the four, as well as Cory. I believe this is due to the various hamster popularity polls.
• America did seem to react too happily upon her return to the house.
• But I haven't seen her tell anyone.
• As for Cory, I just don't know.
• Then there's Jag. He's acting much like he did about being Sad Jag on the block, but let a smile slip to the camera.
• In other news, all of a sudden Blue wants to play the game.
• Izzy, of all people, had a long pep talk with her.
• Blue even started fussing about how Jared tells her how to play the game and such.
• Trouble in paradise, I guess.
• I expect the feeds blocking to be rampant again today as the show TRIES to keep its secret winner.
• Remember, the winner can remove one person (including themself if on the block) from the block either this live eviction or the next. If not used by then, it goes away.
• Laters!

Sad act for real or for effect?

Nope, Izzy. 

 

BB25: Live Feeds into Invincibility! - Aug. 29

 

Jared says I have no personality.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Invincibility Secrecy:

• Well, they are each getting called into the Diary Room alphabetically, spending 25 minutes in there and then returning.
• The first rule of invincibility is you don't talk about in invincibility.
• So, far as I write the start of this post, most aren't saying they played.
• They do know the top four will play and it's most likely an America (not the hamster) Votes thing.
• Jared has it right in a way. Although he thinks it's underdogs, he's saying a popularity contest with the fans.
• He's SURE he's on that list.
• He told Cory that he (Cory) has no chance to get any of the America Votes things because he doesn't have any personality.
• Say what?
• Yeah, Jared has a personality. So far, it seems to be mainly bad!
• He has a girlfriend at home, says misogynistic things, had sex with a girl on the show while his mother is in the house and they are supposed to be working on the goal of final two together and so much more.
• Plus, he calls EVERYONE, sometimes even his MOTHER, "bro." I hate that. 
• I enjoy Cory on the show. He seems like a smart sweet kid. (At 21, he's definitely a kid to me!) I enjoy his sense of humor, too.
• Cirie said a rather abrupt, "Thank you, America, for nothing." -- while wearing her sunglasses. She made it clear she meant us, not the hamster.
• Is she acting? I think a definite maybe for her.
• Lots of feeds cuts today as any specific mention of the happenings gets blocked.
• Blue looks upset and commented to Cirie, "We have no idea what they're showing of us." Sounds disappointed to me!
• Of course, all are acting like they weren't chosen to compete, and a few are being very vague about it.
• They know it's for some kind of power but don't know what the power is.
• Right now Matt is getting ready to go in.
• After Matt, it's just Mecole and Red.
• I will put up an update if anyone spills the beans.

UPDATE: 9:48pm EDT -- Cirie tells Matt she won/is one of the four. She said won, but it could just be one of the top four who will compete. She swore him to secrecy. Matt told her he did, too. So, it must be one of the four.

Is he the Jag Invincible?

I doubt she was chosen.

I'm just sayin' what I'm sayin'!

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday - Aug. 29

 

I tell you, Cirie. Izzy is a problem.

Here's the latest news from inside that Big Brother House of Dizzy Izzy and Poo on Jared:

• Lots of talks going on.
• By the way, Jared's nickname on social media and in the house is Poo.
• Well-deserved, I say.
• Despite talks with all, he is hellbent on keeping Blue.
• Why give up a sex kitten?
• He keeps saying he trusts her and he can't trust Jag.
• Maybe Mama brought the wrong child aboard the show.
• Cirie has two main liabilities. Call them Izzy and Poo-Jared.
• Now, as live feeders we see/hear some things in the house that the people in the house don't see.
• I KNOW Red is loyal to a fault to Cirie.
• Both he and Cam adore Cirie.
• Now, when it comes to the end of the game, that might be a reason for them to get her out of the house for their own games (if all are still in it at that point).
• But Cirie's ally Izzy, although we know it hit off due to the Jared/Cirie relationship being known, is definitely a liability.
• Heck, Cirie would be better off rocking with Cam, Red and Jag.
• Red had a long serious talk with Cirie.
• He told her that the only reason he would never put Izzy up is due to the alliance. He's loyal to the alliance and she's a part of it. 
• He said that he'd rather work with Jag than with Izzy if not for the alliance. Izzy is all over the place.
• Cirie brought Izzy in to talk to Red.
• Once again, Red had a long serious, sincere, even a bit compassionate conversation with Izzy, like that time a few weeks ago.
• Now, I don't care for Red's made-up persona for the cameras and he's certainly not perfect.
• But he is a better ally for Cirie than Izzy is. She's too much.
• Izzy, for once, took it well.
• But, then again, she seemed to take the last talk with him well.
• Then there's Jared.
• I don't like cheap showmances with people jumping into bed with each other within a few weeks on national television and forever on the internet for the world to see.
• Jared and Blue crossed that line.
• Perhaps I'm a prude or something, but that's how I feel. I don't watch the feeds to watch soft porn.
• Poo on them, both Poo and Blue.
• Laters!

Probably not America's vote.

In another life ...

How did I get in this mess?

Red has no loyalty to her.

He is trying the game, but ...!

I'm sorry, Red.

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - Aug. 28

 

One is studly, the other is Red.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blue's Clues:

• I know, I know. I didn't tell you whether Red used the veto or not.
• Of course not.
• Why would he?
• So, Blue and Jag remain on the block.
• The yard is open today.
• So, there has been a lot of lazing around.
• There seem to have been a lot of Diary Room calls. I don't know if they have anything to do with the America's vote Power of Invincibility or not.
• Do you think America got America's Vote? Heh.
• Felicia is cooking the supper tonight.
• Red seems to think it's his right to life in the house -- cooking.
• Waffling started rather early this week. Perhaps it's because everyone figured that Red would not use the veto.
• Red and Cameron still want Jag out.
• Cirie and company decided they would prefer Jag stay.
• But then they circled back around a bit to maybe keeping Blue.
• Izzy pointed out that if they keep Blue, they might lose Cory.
• Cirie mentioned that, if Red wins HOH this week, they could use a stronger player in the game. Red and Cameron kept talking about taking out the stronger players.
• Jag, Cory and Matt are considered stronger players even though Matt has yet to win a comp. Cory and Jared have come close to winning.
• Blue, with the exception of her dancing through several hours of the Pressure Cooker, is in no way a comp beast.
• Jag, Cory and Matt would be good competitors to go against Red and Cameron in comps.
• Hmm.
• Then there's that pesky Jared/Blue thing.
• I swear she can't that oblivious to a huge thing like Jared's mother in the house.
• I'm thinking that maybe she thought he was joking and didn't realize he spilled huge beans.
• When Blue was talking to Felicia and Cirie (his moms), she said ... get this ... she would send Jared packing on her HOH.
• Say what?
• Okay, more ammunition to keep Jag.
• The votes they have for sure to keep him: Cirie, Felicia, Mecole, Matt, Cory ... they need one more. 
• Cirie is working on Jared. It's possible that America might go for it.
• They are afraid to ask Bowie as she seems pretty solid with Red/Cameron.
• Of course, it's only Monday.
• Lots of waffles could be served before Thursday.
• Plus, that America's Vote thing will come to play Thursday night.
• Izzy did get one guess right ... she thinks that Bowie is lying about her age and has to be over 40!
• Hmm. I might be wrong about Blue. All of a sudden she's spending more time with Cirie and Felicia, talking about how good Jared was raised and all. Red flags there, Cirie!
• Laters!

What am I doing in this handbasket?

Cirie herself is safe as Red & Cam adore her.

Making friends and influencing people.

Doing much better than his Survivor brother.

Look! No bangs curler!
