BB25: Live Undead Eviction Show Blog Party - Sept. 28

 

Tonight either Zombie Jared or Zombie Cameron will leave the house once again. Hopefully, this time for good. They have been competing in that fill the teeter-totter shovel with 30 balls (whatever) and, although in real life it has been wrapped up, we will see the end of that tonight. The winner of that (please no live feeds content in comments!) will choose to either do a puzzle himself or pass on the puzzle hoping the other zombie can't complete it. Winner of the puzzle is "resurrected." Blech.

Oh, the show is also messing with us regarding the schedule for the live shows! Tonight is back to 9PM ET/PT, then next week it's back to 8PM ET/PT. Argh!

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!

Hamster watchers ready?

Skipping Previously On, this is Julie tonight all pretty in pink ... thank goodness the bob hairstyle is gone.

Okay, we're back to Round Two in which Cameron has the lead by four balls. We are now starting the final round of the teeter-totter challenge for the Zombie Boyz. Jared has to reset. Then he has to reset again. Cameron has one ball to go. CAMERON WINS THE ROUND!

He now has the power to control his own fate. He can play in the competition on the live show or make Jared play in it. Jared is teary.

It's after the Resurrection Rumble. Cameron has to decide whether or not he will play. He wants to create a future inside the house. Cirie is down about Jared losing the Rumble. She tries to tell Jared to shake it off. Cory is happy about Cameron probably staying rather than Jared. Meanwhile, Jared is in tears with Felicia and Cirie. Felicia tells him that he should think about what his Mom would say to him now. Heh.

Cameron talks to Jag about working with him and Matt ... one week of trust and see what he can do about it. Jag tells us that he's open to working with Cameron. Jag and Matt say that if Jared is gone, Blue would work with them.

Ew. A Cory/America segment with them both in the shower to scare Felicia. It's Cory's birthday (which is actually tomorrow, Friday). He wants to make a deal with Mecole and Felicia. Mecole makes the deal but tells us she knows she can beat them. Felicia and Cory talk. Matt picks up on it and knows Cory is hiding his face so he can't read his lips. Felicia agrees to work with them. Matt catches them and tells Jag/Blue.

Are we ever going to find out which "zombie" returns?

Jared talks to Cameron asking if he will do the final part. Cameron tells him he plans to play the final part tonight.

Julie tells us Cam has not seen the competition. Jared and Cam are in the backyard. Julie will show them how the comp works. Zombie board, pulleys to maneuver a ball up the comp. It's timed. Cam decides to do it himself.

Finally back after several commercials. Cameron is ready to do the Do Or Die Comp. Three minutes. The others are watching inside on their living room screen. With 1.06 minutes left, he makes it back in the house! Jared has to go in, say goodbye and walk out the front door.

Hugs, hugs, hugs. He's out with Julie now. Jared and Cam's Memory Wall un-zombies them, Jared turns grey. Into more commercials.

Back to the interview. He's smiling. I can only hope he won't call her Bro. He hopes his mother does amazing and gets teary about it. Okay, outright tears. Julie mentions that he told Blue about the secret. He cries more. He thinks Cirie can only trust Blue. Goodbye messages time. America is happy. Cory is okay. Blue calls him Pooh Bear and a trip to Italy. Cirie is proud of him, will get Cory for him, loves him. He cries more.

Back to Julie talking to the houseguests. She congratulates Cameron. Some good news -- Scary Week over. Because of the twist, all are eligible to compete in HOH including Cory, the last HOH. Sunday at 10PM for HOH, Tuesday at 8PM Veto show.

BB25: Zombie Feeds into Thursday - Sept. 28

 

People either love or hate America

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Aimless Aardvarks:

• Yep, still boring!
• Yep, still all talk about what that one or this one will do if he/she wins HOH.
• The main targets in talks seem to be Felicia, America and/or Cory or Jag with the occasional Matt.
• Cam wants to target Felicia pre-jury because he thinks she will be a bitter juror.
• Cameron is still wanting to do the puzzle tonight that, if he completes in time, gets him "resurrected" into the house.
• That is even though both he and Jared have been allowed to be there as normal albeit with different clothes this past week and never left the house!
• They are speculating whether Cameron will be able to see the puzzle before accepting the challenge or not.
• They don't really know.
• Neither do I.
• They are acting pretty much like Jared is a Dead Zombie Walking even though Jared is trying to talk as much game as he can.
• Oh. And Jared is giving others game advice. Like he knows about the game!
• Most are talking playing with Cam but they all want him out again already even though he technically isn't in!
• At least tonight this mess will be over.

Matt has picked up saying "Bro." Stop that!

And Bowie Jane keeps on smiling.

The piggy suit gets around.

What? No in bed with Jared?

The Amazing Race 35: Season Premiere Blog Party!

 

Don't forget to sign up for the blog pool!

The link to the blog pool sign up is right here. Please sign up ONLY on that post, not this one! The cut-off is Friday but do it now! There are supposed to be no non-Philimination legs this season, so one team should be out tonight. That team will not be in the blog pool. However, there will be no reassignments with the boot next week!

For a cheat sheet with photos and names of the teams, check out this post of mine! Oh ... and deaf people are making a mark on reality TV this year. Rob, the father on the father/son team of Rob/Corey, is deaf. TAR has not had a deaf contestant since Season 14.

I will be live blogging the action the best I can as the show airs here on the East Coast. I say the best I can because it's hard to keep track with new teams AND we even have two more teams than usual this season! They will no longer have the Covid-era private jet and will have to scramble at airports again. Woohoo! As usual, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

The teams start off at the Hollywood sign (its 100th birthday). Like with Survivor, we're getting sound bites from the different teams. Phil welcomes them to Hollywood. Each team introduces themselves. He tells them no non-elims. Express Pass will allow them to skip a challenge. U-Turns are a mandatory vote to slow down another team. Airports are back in play. Clues are inside the cars down the hill. They have to get to the Biltmore Hotel.

We're getting bits and pieces of each team.

Joe and Ian are the first to the Biltmore Hotel. Roadblock, on a tightrope high above the city, unscramble the clue to the next destination, Derek and Claire will give them the clue, two flights, six teams on the first one, 90 minutes apart.

Joe first at the clue. Other teams are arriving to the tightrope. Greg sees of and gets it. He thinks City of ... Angels and gets the clue. They have to go the LAX and fly to Bangkok, Thailand. Heh, in a hearing group all working together on the clue, Rob gets it alone.

The teams are arriving at LAX. It turns out Greg of brothers Greg and John has been learning sign language. He can communicate with Rob. So, a bond is forming with those teams. Six teams have lined up for tickets and more are arriving. Uh-oh, the second flight is getting tickets.

14-hour flight connecting through Taipei before getting to Bangkok, first clue is at the giant Buddha. Taxis. Victor, husband of Jocelyn, speaks Laotian which is similar to Thai and can communicate with the driver.

Morgan/Lena (sisters) first to clue, have to travel by boat and tuk-tuk. Express Pass chance. Clear a plate of exotic fried insects ... EACH. Ew. They are having issues with it. (But doing better than I would do!) Another team decided not to try when they saw the bugs. Rob and Corey head there. Lena has ONE bug more! And we go to commercial. They finish. Morgan/Lena have the Express Pass.

Some teams are still thinking of trying the Ezpress Pass. Others are boarding the marked river boat. Meanwhile, the second plane with seven teams is arriving. 

The first teams are getting into the tuk-tuks. Jocelyn/Victor Detour clue first. Sword Play, 30 seconds of a routine. Spa Day, painful (?) massage. Only five pairs of therapists. If you stop, you must go to end of line. Malaina and Andrea are the only ones going for Sword Play so far. Eep, Todd and Ashlie had to start over on the massage because he inadvertently stopped the masseuse.

Malaina and Andrea are having trouble with the Sword Play as they practiced with wooden sticks, not real swords. They give up and go to the massage.

Jocelyn/Victor through the massage first followed by Corey/Rob. It's a race to the Pit Stop for them at a Temple.

Pit Stop Order:

1. Jocelyn/Victor, trip to Patagonia won.

2. Corey/Rob

3. Greg/John

4. Morgan/Lena

5. Todd/Ashlie

6. Steve/Anna Leigh

7. Joel/Garrett

8. Liam/Yeremi

9. Joe/Ian

10. Malaina/Andrea?

11. Robbin/Chelsea? (10 and 11 may be reversed)

12. Elizabeth/Iliana

13. Alexandra/Sheridan - Philiminated

Survivor 45: Season Premiere Blog Party!

 

Don't forget to sign up for the blog pool!

The link to the blog pool sign up is right here. Please sign up ONLY on that post, not this one! The cut-off is Friday but do it now! If there is a boot tonight, that castaway won't be in the pool.

Tonight is the night! We get our first 90-minute show with the all-new castaways. Well, one is one from last season -- Bruce, the one with the head injury knocking him out of play the first day. All the others are new. And, as such, I am bound to have trouble with their names for a few weeks. So, please bear with me! For a cheat sheet with photos and names, check out my post on the cast.

I will be live blogging the events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page for the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments. I hope to see you there.

Survivor fans ready?

We have three boats heading to the shore. We're getting brief soundbites from the castaways. No way can I keep up with the small talk! Once again and as always, they are in Fiji. Well, the boats aren't heading to shore. They are heading to a huge boat where Jeff Probst is standing.

They already have buffs on for their tribes. Yellow, Blue and Red. Jeff comments on their energy. Brandon is emotional. He's on the Yellow tribe. Bruce from S44 is introduced -- Blue tribe. Red is Reba. Yellow is Lulu. Blue is Belo.

Challenge - two from each tribe unload bags, key. Next pair, swim to boat, boat to key. Next pair, swim, use keys. Get supplies by unrolling bags through a huge spring thing, not much but a flint, pot and machete! Eep. Brandon is having trouble with the ladder getting up, losing Yellow's lead. Reba wins the supplies!

The other tribes have to choose two people for Sweat versus Savvy to get supplies.

Reba is celebrating their win. They do introductions. Julie the lawyer is lying about lawyering. 

The four Belo members are on their beach. Bruce brings up "mean girl Emily" lighting into him on the boat. Bruce claims to be the fun uncle, not the father of the tribe but then starts running everything. Brando and Jake went on the Sweat vs. Savvy. 

Meanwhile, on Yellow Lulu, Emily is bringing up how two volunteered to go on the trip and she's suspicious. Brandon, who had to be treated by medical arrives at the camp. Kaleb and Sabiyah went for their tribe.

Sweat has them moving 40 logs across the beach and then do Savvy - a puzzle in 40 minutes. Both tribes have sweat done are trying to figure out the puzzle. Both tribes are running out of time. They return.

Brando and Jake tell their tribe neither tribe got the supplies. Kaleb and Sabiyah got Emily ticked when they said they got nothing. She does not believe them at all. One of the guys tell them that Emily thinks they took an advantage. Meanwhile, Hannah and Brandon are bonding.

Belo Day 2 - The women are already talking final three. Kendra wants Jake out because he's a lawyer when one of the women is a lying lawyer. She's claiming office manager.

Lulu Day 2 - No machete. But they are working hard. Emily is being pessimistic about everything it seems. Her tribemates are wearying of her. She knows she isn't mixing well and risks being voted out.

Reba Day 2 - Sifu is looking for idols. His tribemates want to find him. He thinks he's playing a Tony game while Dee says he's trying to play a Tony game. They catch him. Austin finds an advantage which he must do if he reads it. Series of tasks, decipher message on their tribe's flag. If he doesn't do it, he loses his vote.

Day 3. We have the first Immunity Challenge. Up over ramp, into mud pit, heavy bag of coconuts, shoot into basket get set of keys, all go up tower, to puzzle. First two tribes get Immunity. Loser also loses flint. The two tribes without flint will have it back at camp unless they lose.

Uh-oh. Yellow Lulu is running behind again! Austin once again is having issues.

BELO wins Immunity! REBA wins Immunity! 

Lulu has to go to Tribal Council. Brandon feels bad that he will have to vote for someone who performed better than he did in the challenge.

Lulu Day 3 - Hannah is having ups and downs. She tells Brandon she wants to go. She knows they all want Emily out. Brandon tries to convince her to stay. Brandon feels he's a zero so far in the game. He physically feels awful with reflux. He tells others (not Emily) he is playing his shot in the dark because he feels like a liability. Sabiyah says they were all planning on voting out Emily. Meanwhile Emily tells Brandon and Hannah that they need to break up Kaleb and Sabiyah as they are so strong. Brandon tells Kaleb that Emily is targeting him. The vote seems to be between Brandon and Emily.

Time for Tribal Council. 

Jeff asks his Probsting questions. Will they keep the strongest? Emily throws Sabiyah and Kaleb under the bus. Sabiyah tells the others that Emily has isolated herself. Then it's to Brandon's struggles. Hannah still wants to go. She begs them to send her home but offers to quit. Jeff picks up on it. Is everyone on the same page? They all feel bad but they will all vote her out.

'Hannah, grab your torch." The tribe has spoken.

BB25: Zombie Feeds into Wednesday Morning - Sept. 27

 

No, the live feeders did NOT send these!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Fire the Person Who Came Up With This "Twist" --

• No, hamsters.
• The live feeders did NOT send you those baskets of goodies.
• Production, stop telling them we did.
• What most of us would send them is a kick in the butt to actually get up and DO something other than retell the retelling of retold stories and "what if" scenarios
• Now, technically, it isn't the hamsters' fault.
• They voted to evict three players that production thought it was best to keep the numbers in the game.
• Before ANYONE goes on about it being rigged to keep certain players ... all of this was planned before the season started.
• The No Veto Show this week was listed from the start of the season!
• Yeah, someone PRE-PLANNED this disaster week!
• The snacks baskets and minor booze deliveries were the big excitement in the house this week.
• Now, they COULD have had fun with it -- not letting the two "zombies" sleep or eat with the living, having actual scary things happening, make the zombies get up in the middle of the night to terrorize the house ... anything!
• I'm including screen caps to show you everyone is still there.
• I don't have much more for you.
• Tonight is the big Survivor and Amazing Race debut night. Be there or be square.

Cirie and Felicia, still alive ... check!

Cameron, still undead ... check!

Pooh and Blue, still undead and alive ... check!

Jag, still alive ... check!

Bowie Jane, alive and smiling ... check!

Mecole, still alive ... check!

Matt, still alive ... check!
