BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 1

 


Good evening! Tonight we get to see the HOH comp from the other day and the nominations the new HOH made. Isn't that exciting? Well, more exciting than the Zombie Week, for sure.

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!

Once again, tonight's show is scheduled much too late for my liking - 10PM ET/PT. Please note that the veto shows will now be on Tuesdays at 8PM ET/PT and, despite them earlier announcing that the live eviction shows on Thursdays will be an hour earlier, they are once again scheduled for 9PM ET/PT.

Hamster watchers ready?

Sitting through the Previously On segment much as I always do.

We pick it up with Jared walking out the door. (Good.) Cameron is ready to kick it up into high gear. Cirie feels sad about Jared going but now doesn't have feelings for the rest of the cast. Jag is happy because he, Matt and Cameron work together well. Blue is in tears. Felicia and Cirie comfort her. Blue actually thinks she can win an HOH comp.

HOH comp in the backyard with a space set-up. Cory can play as last week was skipped. The comp is a puzzle building rockets.


We get the standard "I have to win this comp" diary room bits. It's a 14-piece puzzle. Cameron gathered a lot of intel while zombified. America should be more careful. Most are having puzzling problems with their puzzles. And we go to commercial. Oh, the suspense!

Cameron is leading it, followed closely by Jag. Matt is doing well. But ... CAMERON WINS HOH ... of course he does. Matt ALMOST had it! Heh, Cirie says "of course he does" after I typed it here. Felicia is sure she will be on the block again.

Cameron tells us he hopes the groundwork he laid down last week will go well this week. Cory thinks he's safe with Cameron this week. Jared had asked Cameron to protect Cirie and he promises to do so. Will Cirie work with Cameron?

Jag tells Matt they need to talk with Cameron. He and Matt have kind of been working with Cory and America. Felicia and Mecole look miserable.

Ah, no one knows Emily Dickinson is except Cirie! Cirie has to go to the diary room just as Cory decides to ask Survivor questions. He thinks of Cirie as his Survivor Google. She is not thrilled with it!

Cam, Matt and Jag share beers in the HOH room. The Fugitives are together again! Cameron decides his target is someone he doesn't want in the jury house. Cam thinks Cory might be dangerous.

Lots of filler bits. Cleaning and America's kissing history.

Cameron talks to Cory. Cory thinks he has a great relationship with Cam. He has never betrayed him. Cameron tells us no one should be comfortable.

Cameron talks to Blue. Cam likes to gather the information on the others during his talks. Blue wants Cory out. Then it's time to talk to Felicia. She tells him they have never talked game. He tells her he never felt like there was an invitation for game talk. Her gut tells her he is putting her on the block. He tells her she is the greatest persuader in the house. She throws Cirie under that bus. He asks if he has her vote if he is sitting in the finals. She promises him her vote.

Cam talks to Mecole next. He tells us he needs to sit his target next to a pawn. Cam tells her it's just a situation, she knows the vibe and she is not a target, no malice, etc. In other words, she's going to be a pawn. She tells us that she will go after Cam.

Time for the nominations ceremony. Cam nominates Felicia, then Mecole. He tells Felicia her conversations have made her a competitor. He apologizes to Mecole. He tells us Mecole cannot win the POV and save Felicia.

BB25: Live Feeds Power of Veto Winner Bulletin - Sept. 30

 


The feeds were blocked FOREVER for the comp! In addition to Cameron, Mecole and Felicia, chosen to play were Matt, America and Blue. Cirie is now holding the record for most veto comps not played.

The veto comp itself is supposedly tying in with the release of the new Exorcist movie. Last night while the feeds were blocked, "ghosts" appeared in the windows. Of course, they couldn't do that with the week of absolutely nothing last week, huh?

Feeds back at over six hours gone. I see Blue, America, Cameron and Matt talking ... none are wearing the necklace. None are saying who won. They had to crawl through tunnels in the dark. Hmm. Neither Felicia nor Mecole are on screen, then we got blocked again. Now Felicia and Mecole are in the background in the living room, neither SEEMS to have the necklace ... then blocked again.

From what they have said NON-winners are: Blue, Mecole, Matt and America. So ... it has to be Felicia or Cameron. Again, no one is wearing the necklace. Of those two, you can guess who PROBABLY won but I don't want to post a guess!

Confirmed ... CAMERON won the Power of Veto.

Update ... 


"Lies, lies, all lies. It wasn't that dark in there. You could see. My mistake was going in the same room twice. This was my veto to win and I lost. Now I'm going home."

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday, Veto Players Picks - Sept. 30

 

Felicia decided to talk to me ... to correct me.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Devious Dormice:

  • Not all that much has happened since I last reported.
  • Cameron seems to have tunnel vision in his quest to get Felicia out of the house this week.
  • He has said since before the double eviction that he wanted Felicia out before jury as he thinks she will be a bitter juror.
  • At least towards him, he thinks!
  • He plans, if Mecole wins the veto, to replace Mecole with Blue, thus making sure it's Felicia voted out.
  • Hmm.
  • Now, Cameron doesn't get a vote. What if (since they all like to play what if) the others decide keeping Felicia would be best for their games?
  • I doubt it will happen because voting out Mecole would be a tougher decision for some of them.
  • But, hey ... Felicia does a lot of the cleaning and cooking! While Cameron, Blue and Cirie can cook, even Matt can cook some, her kitchen knowledge is great, especially if she can get "Mr. B" to give her supplies!
  • Speaking of her cooking, Mr. B finally gave them oxtails. Jag had never seen or even heard of them. He thought the package was a single oxtail. Heh.
  • Back to the Cameron/Felicia thing -- they're at the point where the slightest thing about the other gets them going. I'm talking the both of them.
  • It's like if you have a neighbor you don't like, every teensy bit of noise, etc. you notice.
  • This morning Cameron was sitting on the counter in the kitchen as he always does. Instead of saying good morning back to him Felicia asked him if he sat on his kitchen counter at home. 
  • So, they ended up having minor words about it. He went and retold it to Matt, America and Bowie Jane saying how she can't just be pleasant to him.
  • They had the veto picks early (for them) this morning.
  • I don't know who randomly picked whom or whether someone got houseguest choice. Cam said beforehand that if he got HC, he would pick Matt.
  • In addition to Cameron, Mecole and Felicia, we have Blue, America and Matt playing for the veto.
  • The veto comp will be later on today.

And Bowie Jane smiles on.

Blue critiques the wake-up music.

Matt, PLEASE lose that flosser thing!

Mecole relieving stress after noms yesterday.

Cory tells Cirie she is good with him.

BB25: Nominations Today Live Feeds - Sept. 29

 

Cameron does his hair.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Snaky McSnakefaces:
  • As you know from my last post, Cameron won HOH because, well, of course he did.
  • While he has schmoozed most of the house, we all know that the first time he can get got, he will get got.
  • So, he's back into the having to win competitions to remain.
  • However, he did make jury by winning this HOH. The 30-something year old father kept going on about how he needed that jury stipend money. 
  • Well, he has it now.
  • He schmoozed talked to all between last night and earlier today.
  • Continuing the practice they are doing this season (that I thought was not allowed), he went and told Felicia he thought she was "too persuasive" to have in the jury house and he needed to get her out before jury.
  • She tried to throw Cirie under the bus to him as the best persuader, but to no avail.
  • While that is sort of consistent with what he's been saying for a few weeks now, although he termed it more along the lines of a bitter juror, I always thought the nominees couldn't be told before nominations.
  • And I remember as early as Hisam's HOH, they've been telling them this season.
  • Cameron plans to put Felicia up with Mecole.
  • Right now, Bowie Jane is probably the safest one in the house. Bowie Jane might just smile and laugh her way to a win.
  • Think about it. Bowie Jane IS a lawyer, so she must have smarts. Plus, looking at her performances in the Pressure Cooker and on the Wall, she can do comps ... she just doesn't want the win. She hasn't needed to win, nor the attention drawn by winning comps.
  • I wanted to like Mecole and I do like her as a person. But, for someone who talks so much game ... her game isn't gaming!
  • Cameron wants to work with Matt and Jag. That will last until it doesn't.
  • Cameron does still have the weird cringy "father" leery bit going on with America.
  • That doesn't bode too well for Cory. I can't see the thruple going on there. Ew.
  • Blue, while in with Matt and Jag, seems very expendable.
  • As for Blue and Cameron, they both told each other that they don't like each other. But, as long as their interests in the game align, it could work.
  • Oh ... what about Cirie?
  • She's just so darn likable. And now she won't really have anyone in the game ... right? What kind of threat could she be?
  • Heh.
  • The feeds have been blocked a while now for the nominations.
  • I don't expect any surprises.
  • And I got none except the backyard is open.
  • Felicia and Mecole are on the block.
  • Mecole is trying to do deep breathing and pep-talking herself in the storage room.

Surrounded by liars! Well, it IS BB.

Bowie Jane smiles on.

The Bible probably won't save Felicia.

Maybe I can be incognito without the pink cap.

BB25: Live Feeds HOH Bulletin - Sept. 29

 


Well, that took forever. The feeds were blocked for the duration of the West Coast airing of the show and beyond.

Then nobody was wearing the HOH key and no one was talking about it. 

Now they are. Some kind of puzzle? Anyway, seems like Cameron won it again. I would guess it's BYE, FELICIA if he has his way.
