BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday - Sept. 13

Pigattude

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Headache Hamsters:

• Cameron is still blinded to the fact that he really has no allies.
• Part of that is because he lies to people and they're onto it.
• Jag went to Jared and Blue about Cam telling different people different things just to drive a wedge between them.
• Knowing Cameron, that's probably part of his Create Chaos and Be A BB Legend Plan.
• If the dude could just keep doing comps well AND have some sort of social game, he could be a contender.
• It's almost like he's determined to make just about everyone in the house hate him.
• It's not like he doesn't know they compare notes.
• Plus, he talks to everyone like he's lecturing small children. Being condescending does not make friends and influence people in the house.
• Cam thinks he has an alliance with America, Bowie, Cory and Jag as he tried to get Matt on board.
• Yeah, sure.
• Matt is getting more adept at figuring out the tomfoolery lies of the house.
• He's gotten good at nodding his head a lot.
• Heh. Cameron thinks he has all the votes (9) for Felicia to stay according to America ... who giggles about it.
• Now, Bowie MIGHT vote for Felicia to stay. But the majority of the house will vote to keep Izzy.
• BUT Cameron told Blue that he won't be fooled if Felicia does go out on Thursday and the others are dumb enough to leave a threat who everyone likes in the house.
• Um. Okay, Cam. Tell one person one thing, tell another something else. Gotcha!
• In other news -- During a conversation with Felicia and Mecole, Felicia told her she's wary of Jared because he had told her that he would take her down with the veto but didn't.
• Mecole told her she doubts Jared will vote for Izzy to stay.
• They are leaving Mecole out of the loop as they know she is loyal to Felicia.
• Now, I'm not sure how well that will go over with Mecole. She is not one who likes being left out. Hmm.
• Cirie would like for Felicia to be warned ahead of time so she is prepared.
• But, of course, today is Waffle Wednesday.
• We will have to see if it remains evict Felicia.
• Remember, tonight's show is two hours!

A bit too much love going on here.

Um. Why America gets fan grief ...

Hide, Cory, hide!

The Amazing Race: TAR35 Teams Introduction

 Good afternoon! Nope, this is not about Big Brother. Does everything have to be about Big Brother? No, it does not! I'm here to talk about the upcoming season of The Amazing Race and brief you on the teams.

The season starts on September 27. From that Wednesday forward, BB25 will be on Tuesday nights and Wednesdays will be 90-minute episodes of Survivor followed by 90-minute episodes of The Amazing Race. For the first time the show will feature 13 teams. According to CBC, the race will be a "23,800-mile adventure around the world." We will see the return of commercial flights instead of the private Covid-era flights. Plus, there will be no non-elimination legs, there will be a twist on the U-Turn and the Express Pass will be back.

Here's a cast video from Parade.com --

Here are the teams:

Alexandra and Sheridan Lichtor, brother and sister team from Chicago. She's 34, he's 29. Both graduated from Northwestern University with a Chemical Engineering degree and both currently work for the same global management consulting firm. Alex also plays tennis and has won multiple half marathons.

Ashlie and Todd Martin are a married couple living in Chino, California. They are both 38 years old. Ashlie is a hospitality account manager while Todd is a special education teacher. 

I can't seem to find much more on them other than the fact they first met at age 15. So, they should surely know each other's quirks by now!

Elizabeth and Iliana Rivera are a mother - daughter team from Tampa, Florida. Elizabeth is 52 years old and Ilana is 27. Their professions are listed as retired lieutenant and entrepreneur. Hmm. Lieutenant where I haven't a clue, nor entrepreneur in what.

Nothing like a bit of vagueness.

Greg and John Franklin are brothers living in New York City and Mountain View, California. Greg is 25, John is 27. Greg is a software developer while John is a product manager. I dunno. Both sound techy to me!

I've read that they have done quite a bit of traveling to other countries together. That could be a very good thing!

Jocelyn Chao and Victor Limary are both 49 years old and yes, they are married despite different surnames. They live in Albuquerque, New Mexico where they are both grocery store managers.

Like many others, they say reading the clue is very important. Let's see if they can practice what they preach!

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday - Sept. 12

Freed from kayak duty.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Inflated Egos:

• Oh my gosh. Cameron seems to seriously think that he's going to be BB legendary with his chaos creation and big crazy moves.
• He is still dead set on getting his evil nemesis Izzy out of the house.
• He thinks people are going along with him.
• That is despite America telling him everybody is lying to him.
• Neither America nor Cameron have made the direct correlation and bond between Cirie and Jared.
• America thinks Jared doesn't trust her.
• He doesn't.
• America also told Cam that he, not Red, was the target last week. He doesn't think that's even possible! After all, he has too many allies in the house! All they did was not inform him of the plan about Red, not target him! Heh.
• Cory, despite his knowledge of BB and his own brainy self, is starting to come across as a lost little puppy dog to me.
• He talked to Izzy. He told her he no longer trusts Cirie and Jared (yet hasn't figured out the mother/son bit).
• Izzy told him that she thinks Jag, Blue and America are again working together ... without him.
• Jared warned him that America tells a lot about him. So there goes his love life.
• Cory eventually talked to America. He told her that Blue can't be trusted and that he heard she was sharing information about him with others.
• He asked if she told anyone his Survivor secret (about his brother) and she denied it.
• Cameron is so into his thinking that he's so devious and shaking up the house so much that it's hard to watch him talk to the others one by one.
• Now, if he had something new and original and actually earthshaking, it would be different.
• But he's making an ordeal over rather mundane expected nominations.
• Izzy is his hated one and he wants her out. Heck, we know she dislikes him too.
• Cirie and Cameron talked once Cirie was released from kayak duty.
• Cameron once again professed love for her and said he was only upset with her because he was not brought in on the Red plan.
• Um, okay. I remember him telling Jared that Cirie was the president, Felicia the VP and Izzy secretary of defense.
• I do think he does indeed really like her, and I think it's blinding him a bit about how dangerous for anyone else's game it is to not take a shot at her.
• I like Cirie. But if I were in that house, she would be the first one I wanted out for my own game!
• Cam told Cirie that Izzy has to go if they expect to work together.
• Hmm. I doubt Cirie wants to work with him, but if that's his belief, carry on dude.
• At the time being, keep in mind Waffle Wednesday is still ahead, it looks like the votes are there for Izzy to stay.
• We will see.
• Laters!

Matt has Cardboard Josh for a week.

How long can she play under the radar?

But will he vote to keep her?

I'm a mad pig making big moves!

Yes, Cameron. I want to work with you.

 

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - Sept. 11

 

Matt displayed his Josh shots.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wayward Children:

• The big news isn't really big news at all.
• The Power of Veto meeting was held today.
• As we all know, Jared didn't dare use the veto to save either due to his fear that Cirie would be the renom.
• So, Izzy and Felicia remain on the block.
• Jared hasn't been able to talk to Cirie because she's all but attached to Felicia with the kayak bit.
• It seems that Cameron, even knowing that Cirie is the leader of the gang, wanted Izzy out instead.
• So, what's Cameron's big, surprising plan now?
• Well, he wants Jared to pretend that he's mad at him and vice versa. By Jared not using the veto, his backdoor plan of backdooring Blue to split the showmance up failed.
• Um. Okay. Nobody will believe that one.
• He also wants word to spread that Felicia is the target when Izzy is.
• Little does he know, but Felicia IS the target.
• Even after some TELL him, he thinks Izzy is the target.
• Oh my. 
• Matt is doing great with his Cardboard Josh companion. 
• The kayakers, not so much. Their boating ends tonight. I'm not sure when Matt's ends.
• Cam and Izzy have a week in the pig suits.
• Jared still thinks he's some kind of mastermind.
• I just can't get over him showmancing with Blue and telling the camera (his girlfriend at home) that he loves her.
• Izzy is already making the Izzy Tour, talking to Jag to make sure all their bridges have been repaired.
• With all of them on slop this week and the backyard closed, they are wanting to go to bed at 10PM.
• BB should not put so many on slop ever again.

The masks look more pig than pig costumes.

America discovers a new way to nap.

Cory made his round talking to Cam.

The new hamster is quiet and doesn't eat much.

Wants to stop kayaking, Mr. B!

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - Sept. 11

 

He thinks he has the perfect plan.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Precarious Pigs:

• With the punishments in action, there is a bit of stifling some of the gameplay.
• No one can talk serious gameplay to Cirie unless they are okay with Felicia hearing it.
• Jared has had long talks with Cameron.
• Cameron still wants Jared to use the veto to take Felicia down and to put Cirie up. He seems to think that Izzy would be voted out over Cirie but it would let Cirie know that she's in danger ... or something like that.
• Although he's acting like he will use the veto to Cam, we know it's no way.
• It seems to me that this is actually the plan Cirie has had all along, as are many of the things that have gone down this season.
• Last week she started throwing Felicia under the bus with several of the others.
• This week, it seems if the noms remain the same and it's Izzy versus Felicia, it would be an overwhelming vote to send Felicia home.
• Exactly what Cirie seems to want.
• In other news, Izzy and Cameron completed their moving cups of dirt task in the yard, so neither lost the ability to play for veto this coming week.
• They also have night pig costumes to sleep in. The costumes should last through the upcoming eviction show.
• Now, Cameron really wants Izzy out (if he can't take the shot at Cirie).
• He thinks if it's Izzy and Felicia on the block, Izzy would be voted out.
• Oh, but he's wrong there. Between Cirie throwing Felicia under the bus to Felicia's own bossy self, it would be Bye, Felicia! Izzy has calmed down a lot and gotten in better with others lately.
• Matt seems a bit fascinated with the Polaroid technology he has to use. To think, he originally thought he would be getting a trip to the set of the show and he ended up with a cardboard cutout. He even has to tuck the cardboard Josh into a bed at night.
• The kayakers, Felicia and Cirie are pretty much in a world of their own. They have ended up spending a lot of time in the living room as that's the easiest fit for them.
• Without Red, the slop has been experiment time. But they seem to have come up with a few decent concoctions.
• After many talks, it now seems that Jared has talked Cam off the idea of using the veto.
• The veto meeting is later today.
• We know Jared has no plan on using it.
• But ...?

This little piggy is on the block.

Will he keep the deal with Cam?

The pesky guest refuses to sit in the nom. chair.

Matt is having fun with a Polaroid.
