Good evening! I guess we can totally forget the idea of BB ever having the HOH comp on the Thursday live show ever again. They have made it the Sunday show regular fodder. I guess that does give them something better than the filler stuff they used to show on Sunday nights. Unfortunately, they also block the feeds for the comp. Woe is us.
That aside ... I will be live blogging this show, constantly updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!
For a change, we're starting on time on a Sunday night. As per usual, I'm sitting out through the "Previously on."
All will compete for HOH. We pick up the action just after Jag stays. Matt is happy he's keeping two of his allies -- Blue and Jag. Matt tells Jag ahead of the eviction about the power and that he will be using it.
Red isn't thrilled that Jag is back in the house. He's a big competitor. Cirie is acting surprised but knew all along. America and Izzy think Matt may have won the power. Izzy really wants to win HOH and nominate Cameron and Red.
Jared tells us Cirie gave him the information about Matt winning and using the power before the vote. So, Jared goes and talks to Jag. Jag is wondering where Jared got the information. Now Cirie is ticked at Jared for his blabbing. She confronts him. Jag is now worried about Cirie. Can he trust her? Meanwhile, Jared is trying to make Jag feel bad.
The backyard is all done up with hearts. There are two podiums with ABC buttons. Cameron and Jared stand at them by random draw, the rest is an audience setting. BB Odd Couples comp, scramble verse is different unexpected pairings. An image will appear, hit correct button, winner chooses next two to play.
Cameron eliminated. Jared picks Red and Bowie to face off. Bowie out. Red selects Izzy and Jag. Jag eliminated. Izzy picks Red and America. Red was wrong, eliminated. America chooses Mecole and Matt. Matt eliminated. She chooses Cory and Blue. Blue right, Cory out. Blue chooses Mecole and Izzy. Mecole wrong. Izzy chooses America and Blue.
America is eliminated. Blue chooses Cirie and Felicia. Felicia wrong and out. Cirie chooses Izzy and Blue. Blue eliminated. She chooses Cirie and Jared. Cirie eliminated. It's down to Izzy and Jared. Izzy wrong.
JARED is the new HOH. He tells us he's such a competitor. Yeah, right.
Jared is acting like a kid about winning. Red and Cameron talk. Red thinks they will be nominated. Cirie, in the storage room, reminds Jared not to turn into Hisam. Izzy and Cirie both celebrate with him. Cirie tells us she will be happy with whatever decision Jared makes ... as long as it's Cameron. He told her Cameron, Red and Bowie were his thoughts.
Blue talks to Jag. He's her number one. She's nervous about Jared due to his closeness to Cirie and Felicia. Jag knows that Cirie told Jared about the power and his trust in her is diminished.
Felicia has dropped her mic three days in a row. (Not to mention her fall into the hot tub.) This is old footage!
Cory and America are cuddled in the hammock. America tells him she would put Cirie, Felicia or Izzy on the block if she won HOH. She doesn't know why everyone is playing their game. They don't even talk to her. Cory tells her if they do something bold, they could be expendable. He doesn't want America to get him in trouble.
Jared is talking to Cameron in the HOH. Jared asks him about sitting next to Red. Cameron suggests America sitting next to Red. Cameron says he won't fight for Red. Jared thought Cam throwing Red under the bus is a red flag about Cameron.
The Jared talks to Red. Jared tells Red he's leaning towards putting Cam on the block. Red thinks he will be a pawn. Jared tells him that people trust him more than Cam. He says Cameron will be his target. Jared wants Red to realize Cam is not a loyal person.
Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Jared nominates Red, then Cameron. Red is emotional about it, Cameron is cocky about it.
