BB25: We Have a New HOH - Aug. 31

 

The live feeds came back on at 1:19AM EDT. No Cam, Red or Jag on cameras.

Oh my. JARED won HOH. I have no words. It must not have been a spelling bee.

BB25: Live Eviction Invincibility Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 31

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Blue or Jag will get the boot! Or ... maybe one won't. We will be seeing the reveal of America's Vote. (I hope I'm not the only one wishing Hamster America had a different name.) We will find out the top four vote getters -- shhhh ... I know feeds followers already know those four -- who won with the most votes and whether the power will be used tonight. It's only good for either tonight or next live eviction, then it goes away.

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 the latest update from Lifeguard SueGee with where the blog pool stands going into tonight's show:

Cory - Sharon N, Nickelpeed, Indiana Jane, deaflady

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

America - Andi, Joanne Victoria, Willie J, Caela

Bowie Jane - Jasonuwp, Sally, Rachel C, Jessica U, Joyce Johnson

Mecole - cctru, Lili, Marthalight, MikesGirl, quixoticelf

Cirie - Petals, Janice, Krysta, RJM in SC, Skyriverblue

Matt - Brenda, Helenann2k, Brent McKee, Chrob61

Cameron- Cheryl in NC, JonMD 1267, CherylNY, Tilde

Red - DonnaNY , ChaCha, Donna in Florida ,YoDave, Ayana

Jag - Barbara W, Jackie, Donna in Alabama, Mary C

Izzy - Michelle, Glenn Allen, Jennasmom, ChicMc

Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

Jared - Bizaro22, TBone, PDX Granny, Fred aka TwoBlackAces

Hamster watchers ready? Hmm ...not sure about what to say regarding Julie's outfit tonight.

We get a pep talk on the power that one will win tonight. Will it be used? Who won? Oh my ... the suspense!

Day 30, Julie tells us Cameron and Red think they have all the power. She teases us about the power, too.

But, first ... she tells us having your son in the house has advantages and disadvantages. We pick up the action after the veto meeting ends. We get Diary Room sessions from Red and Izzy. Fake hug time for Jag. Cam is dead set on Jag going. Blue calls Jag her bestie ... that dates back to the Reilly days. Cam tells her she's safe.

Jag talks to Cirie, Felicia and Izzy. He knows he's the target this week. Matt arrives. He promises them loyalty. Izzy says she's willing to take the shot and keep Jag. They know he would target Red and Cameron. They come to the decision that keeping Jag makes more sense. Cirie is worried about talking to Jared.

She talks to him. He seems shocked. Jared is not on board with the plan. He doesn't trust Jag and now he tells her that he won't trust the group. He tells us he won't play the game based on others or even his mother. To me, he seems blinded by his own desire to be "great", and he just isn't that.

Whoa ... a new game announcement and the Comic sphere in the living room is lighted. Cam reads a note saying there has been an America's Vote with a secret power prize. Best time with the top four wins the power. They will each be called individually to compete ... or not.

America first, not selected. Sorry, Bowie Jane, Cameron. Cirie gets to compete! They are in the same thing as the last POV comp. It's one of those wooden wavy things they need to roll a ball (orb) down to the end to win. Cirie is thrilled. She has tears in her eyes with joy about making it to the top four. She is having trouble with rolling the orb down without it falling.

Cory is next and he too is top four. They are going in alphabetical order. It looks like he did better than Cirie.

Felicia not selected, Izzy, Jared, Mecole, Red not chosen. 

Matt in the top four. He seems to have done pretty well. 

Blue not selected in the top four. 

Jag got the congrats note and will compete. He seems to do well.

We're into commercial now.

Who won and what will they do with it. The four get called to the DR individually. MATT won! He can save one of the next two evicted houseguests. He can keep it secret or not. Poor Jag.

Matt tells us he wants to tell Cirie for advice and to buy trust with her. She tells us that the power is great and the fact Matt trusts her, now she wants to work with him. She tells him that everyone wants Jag out. He tells her he would rather Blue go. 

Matt thinks the whole eviction is canceled. Both Cirie and Matt worry about Red and Cameron (who Matt thinks can play for HOH again) coming after them. But they both agree on Jag. Julie confirms to us that no one would go home tonight if it's used to save one.

Time for the live vote and eviction.

Blue - Shout outs, she says her mother told her not to come home not being the winner. She tells the world her mother's age -- 59.

Jag - Shout outs, congrats BB family, the friendships, want to share more laughs and memories, thanks all, love.

The votes to evict:

Red - Jag

Jared - Jag

Cory - Jag

America - Jag

To commercial ...

Many commercials, that is.

Matt - Jag apparently not using the power?

Cirie - Jag

Felicia - Jag

Izzy - Jag

Mecole - Jag

Bowie Jane - Jag

Have I mentioned how much I hate whole house votes? They need to stop this!

Julie tells them the votes are in. By a vote 10 to 0, Jag is evicted. He looks so sad. Hugs time. 

WAIT! There is dramatic noise and Comic sphere lights! a MESSAGE COMES THROUGH! MATT SAVED JAG! Of course, we know it's Matt, they don't!

YAY! JAG is safe!

Everyone including Cam will compete for HOH!

Jag seems shocked. Cam is shrugging it off. 

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Aug. 31

 

On the Anti-Bowie Jane bus

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Chaos Cats:

• Okay, the most recent waffle is that, once again, Jag will be leaving.
• And, once again, by a house vote even though they've talked about how much they hated house votes back when watching the show.
• Then don't do it, I say!
• They are all lying to Jag.
• He has been going around campaigning to each and every one of them.
• Heck, he even campaigned to Cameron.
• America and Cory have had a never-ending debate on whether to tell Jag or not about the votes.
• America thinks someone should let him know and people should stop lying to him.
• Cory thinks they should stay out of it and just nod their heads and go along with it.
• Cory, if I recall correctly, has gained recognition in college for debate and public speaking.
• America talks to Jag. She nods and gives him encouragement.
• Sigh.
• Izzy too wants to avoid Jag.
• Izzy was supposed to have a makeover from America and Blue with Jag hosting last night.
• Nope. That was mysteriously cancelled.
• Oh. Where is Blue, the other nominee for eviction?
• She's with Jared, of course.
• Jared told her he can't say whether she will stay or not. He claims he doesn't know. 
• She hasn't been campaigning but is definitely sad that there is a possibility she will go. She would just like some encouragement from him.
• Nope. Ain't gonna happen. Instead he talks about how they can get together after the show ends.
• Some boyfriend she's got there, eh?
• The other big thing is that Invincibility Power stuff.
• The top four chosen to compete by America's Vote (not the hamster, they should never put another "America" in the house!) are: Cirie, Matt, Cory and Jag.
• Cirie told Jared (and maybe some others) that Matt won.
• I actually haven't personally see Matt say that he won the comp itself. I have heard him say he won to be in the top four vote.
• Will it change things?
• Heck, Cirie may have won it herself and not want to be on the hook if it's used to save Jag. That's a long shot, but you never know.
• The bromance with Red and Cam continues as they spend a good portion of the time together in the HOH room.
• Thank goodness I have not witnessed any hanky-panky between them! Neither my eyes nor my mind could take that abuse!
• They did have an end of the week's Have Not feast last night. In my opinion they had it easy with the PB&J this week instead of slop.
• But Cory, Bowie Jane and Izzy got back to their normal beds and that had to be so much better!
• Bowie Jane continues to be totally clueless about what to do. She told Cameron she doesn't want to win HOH and will vote whichever way they want. She just wants to make it to jury.
• On the show last night, we saw in Diary Room segments that Blue is more in tune with things happening than she is showing on the feeds while dealing with the others.
• Maybe she has some game in her? I just don't know. I was just shocked that on the show she made the Cirie connection while on the feeds talking to Jared, she thought the mother in question is Felicia. Hmm.
• I don't know if the power will be used tonight.
• I personally would like to see Jag stay. I think it would be a better game move to keep him rather than Blue.
• We will see ...

This could be my last Jag screen cap

Cam thinks he's diabolical and cunning.

Someday your face will freeze like that!

Tell him. You tell him. No, you tell him.

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.
