BB25: Live Feeds into Friday - Oct. 6

 

Bowie Jane reads her HOH letter.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Vegemite Sandwiches:

• Okay, not sure if Bowie Jane did get any vegemite.
• Also, not sure who she will nominate.
• I honestly think by low-balling the tiebreaker, she thought she was throwing this comp ... like all the other comps I think she's thrown.
• I know who OTHERS are telling her she should target or not.
• But Bowie herself is a bit of a wild card.
• It's hard to tell who she is aligned with other than herself.
• Jag went off on one of his too-long schpiels about how the two sides of the house can target each other and they will be safe.
• He talked to her as if he, Matt and Bowie Jane are a thing.
• He said Felicia and Cirie will target mostly Cory, but also America, or Cam. He proposed a Blue target.
• Bowie Jane told Jag and Matt that Cirie never talks game with her.
• Matt commented she hasn't talked game with hardly anyone at all since Jared left. Gee, I wonder why?
• America and Cory also think they are working with Bowie Jane.
• And, we know that, after all -- Bowie Jane is Cameron's person (as he says).
• The feeds came back on late and the HOH room opened up even later.
• Nominations will be later today.
• Maybe we will know more then!

Is what Jag wants what Bowie Jane wants?

And Bowie Jane keeps smiling.

Everybody's target for another week.

Does America have a game without Cory? 

BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 5

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Mecole or Felicia will get the boot! And yeah ... back to the 9PM ET/PT time slot, apparently CBS had their own waffling going on.

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. Lifeguard SueGee updated the blog pool and here's where we stand 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

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

Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

Hamster watchers ready? 

Skipping the Previously On and here's what Julie looks like tonight --

Will Cory be backdoored? And confirmation that the HOH comp is live on the show tonight.

Julie tells us it's Day 65 and talks about Cameron's conquests of the week. But first, we see Felicia throwing Cory under the bus at the veto meeting. Well, AFTER the veto meeting. Felicia thinks that if she stays she can go after Cory because Cory/America are the biggest threats.

Whoops, America starts it telling others that Felicia approached her and Cory about a final four. Yes, America tells us she's lying and Felicia KNOWS they're lying. Felicia tells America that Cory is carrying her. Ohh ... she's going outright mad. Cory leaves and America feels deserted by him in her moment of need. Cam likes the idea that she's putting a big target on Cory and America -- hey, it's not him.

Cirie says she's just going to mind her own business this eviction. Meanwhile, Cameron tells Cory that Blue wanted him to backdoor him. Of course, Cory tells America about Blue. Then he goes to Matt. Matt wants him to think that he and Jag didn't think it was much. Matt tells us that Cory/America and Blue taking shots at each other is good for his and Jag's game.

Felicia asks Cam and Matt how bad she blew up her game. Cam responds, "What game?"

Felicia and Mecole look very nice tonight.

A segment about Mecole flying under the radar and Felicia wanting to stay and take the shot at Cory. She talks to Jag. He tells us it could be tricky to get people to keep her but it would be good for his and Matt's game. Jag talks to Matt and Bowie about keeping Felicia. Jag tells us they don't want to draw lines in the sand and should try to convince America/Cory to keep Felicia.

Cory thinks it would be funny to save Felicia and Felicia doesn't know it. He thinks Mecole is a bigger threat to their game. He lists all of Mecole's almost wins. Jag tells us it's Minuteman time. Cory thinks only Cirie and Blue would vote for Felicia to go.

To the living room. 

Felicia - First shoutouts. It's been 65 days, hope not end of the journey. 

Mecole - Shoutout to her family. I play the game with intention and integrity, you can trust me.

The votes to evict:

Cory - Mecole (Meme)

Cirie - Meme

Blue - Meme

To commercial ...

Matt - Mecole

Jag - Meme

America - Meme

Bowie Jane - Meme

Yep, another house unanimous vote. They must have told Blue. She passes hugging Cory/America but hugs everyone else. Blue looks like she's going to cry. She tells all that Cory, America and Bowie Jane have an alliance and points out who they are after - Cirie, Blue, Matt.

She's handling the interview with Julie well. The Cirie/Jared reveal ... she guesses Cameron/America. She is shocked over the truth! Goodbye messages - Matt nice, America truthful, Cirie told her she should have kept Jared. Next week's evicted will be the first jury member.

HOH time! HumiliVerse sent down its newest app. HumiliGram. It appears on the nomination screens with previous houseguests' images and captions. They see this before the show, obviously going to be a memory test.

They are in booths in the backyard. Cameron can't compete. Julie will ask True/False questions about the images. Seven questions, most points win HOH.

1. Points given to All but Cirie

2. Points given to All but Blue and Jag

3. All right, points

4. All right, points

5. All right, points

6. Points to Blue, Bowie Jane, Felicia and Cory

7. Bowie Jane and Felicia both up to seven points each.

Bowie Jane and Felicia perfect scores to a tie breaker. How many minutes was Jared a zombie from the time he reentered the house until booted.

Bowie Jane throws it with 27, adds in a six to make it 627. Felicia said something like 40,000 (didn't quite catch)

Bowie Jane is the new HOH!

Julie tells them that they have made jury. The ZingBot will be there for veto.

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - Oct. 5

 

Has Waffle Wednesday decided her fate?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Fractured Follies:

• Okay. Yesterday was Waffle Wednesday.
• Although there was a hint of it on Tuesday, things waffled a lot yesterday.
• Will it stick?
• After all, we've seen this happen just about every week this season.
• Have a set target and decide the day before eviction to change it ... then change back on Thursday.
• As the dawn is on the horizon, it looks like this week the change of target just might stick.
• Mecole may possibly, could very well be, going home instead of Felicia.
• I personally wanted to like her. But I think she waited too long to play the game if she had game in her to play.
• How did this happen? 
• Well, it's not due to Cameron. He personally wants/wanted Felicia out before jury. He has no power and no vote tonight as HOH.
• Felicia talked to Jag who talked to Matt and then they talked to Cameron.
• Felicia would target Cory and America if she stays, not Matt, Jag and Cameron.
• That got the ball rolling.
• Talks went on all over the house for most of the day about it.
• Blue vehemently wanted to keep Mecole. Perhaps a bit too much.
• By bedtime for them, it looks like the flip is in and partially due to Blue pushing Mecole enough to raise suspicion of Jag, Matt and Cameron.
• Cameron gave Bowie Jane a heads up about it. He has to keep her in the loop as she is his person, of course.
• In other news, it was Bowie Jane's 46th 35th birthday in the house. 
• Funny hats were worn by most and many had multiple little hats.
• Blocked by the live feeds, the hamsters were shown photos or clips of previously evicted hamsters.
• I would think this was in prep for the HOH comp this week -- a memory one.
• They all split into various study groups trying to group-remember what they saw.
• If it is a memory comp, it just might play out on the show tonight.
• If it does, what will happen on the Sunday show? Just nominations like the olden times?
• If Mecole does go tonight, I want BB to focus on Felicia's face finale night when the Cirie/Jared connection is announced.
• I will say she's done more in the house to deserve to make it to jury than Mecole.
• I'm at the point where I consider Mecole wasted potential in the game.
• Even though it seems Bowie Jane is doing little, she's getting around talking with people and I do think she will bring game out when she needs it.
• Mecole hasn't strayed out of her own little group. Even Jag told her yesterday when she tried to campaign for herself with him ... you haven't talked game with me for 64 days!
• They still will have much of the day to waffle back to Felicia going home. 
• We'll have to see if the Mecole waffle sticks when thrown up at the ceiling.
• Laters!

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

America straightened his hair YESTERDAY!

Hot diggety dog talk.

Matt's hair starting to look Bertha-ish.

Let's blame it all on Blue!

The Amazing Race 35: You Don't See That at Home, Ep. 2 Blog Party - Oct. 4

 

Hi, there! Although there will be no non-Philimination legs in the race this season, we're still in Thailand. Well, they are in Thailand. Chances are we are at home in our comfy chairs and not in Thailand.

I will be live-blogging and updating this post constantly as the show airs here on the East Coast. I do ask for your patience as I am still getting used to the teams. Refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real blog party is in the comments. I hope to see you there!

That wonderful Lifeguard SueGee has made the random picks for the blog pool. You can check out photos and names of the teams on this post I made a while back.

Ashlie & Todd -- Dr Celine, NanaintheNW, SueGee

Elizabeth & Iliana -- Donna in AL, DonnaNY, Nickelpeed

Greg & John -- Brent McKee, Jackie, Judi Sweeney

Jocelyn & Victor -- Cherry Pie, chrob61, Nora M

Joe & Ian -- Cookie Jar, Michelle, Pearl

Joel & Garrett -- ChicMc, Ethan, Willie J, Jasonuwp

Liam & Yeremi -- Andi, KathyB, monty924, Skyriverblue

Malaina & Andrea -- Cheryl in NC, CherylNY, Debbie

Robbin & Chelsea -- Indiana Jane, KelseyNY, MikesGirl

Rob & Corey -- marthalight, PDX Granny, Sharon N

Steve & Anna Leigh -- David, Donna in FL, Glenn Allen

Are you ready? Let's GO!

As usual, I'm sitting through the Previously On segment.

They have to travel by taxi to Nakhon Paton (sp) in the nearby countryside and find their next clue at a temple.

Jocelyn and Victor arrive first at the clue box. Roadblock. The lotus flower, grown in ponds. Who has a green thumb? Ten bulbs, leaves and wrapped together. Jocelyn does it. Rob does it for Corey and Rob. Jocelyn is familiar with the Buddhist flower bundling. Greg and John got a bit lost but are back on track.

The task is harder than it seems on the surface -- very precise. Jocelyn finally makes it through. Rob finishes! John (or was it Greg) finished and they are on their way.

Travel by taxi to an elephant statue, coin in slot, cross under it three times to the next clue.

Yeremi and Liam make the same wrong destination as Greg/John did.

Jocelyn/Victor - Detour- Stock up or Scoop up. 1st pick up ingredients, deliver to restaurant. Pomelo fruits load up on boat and fill five buckets of them. The ingredient list is phonetic but Victor plans to say it with a Thai accent. He actually recognizes the items on the list.

Steve finally made it through the Roadblock. Then finally ... Ashlie!

Jocelyn and Victor deliver the ingredients. Uh-oh ... missing an item! They are delivering again. They get the clue for the Pit Stop. Suan Sampran. Rob and Corey head to the Pit Stop.

Pit Stop order:

1. Jocelyn/Victor - Won $2,000 each

2. Rob/Corey

Many teams are still stuck on the lotus flower arrangements. Garrett and Joel have to turn around because they left the fanny pack back at the clue.

3. Greg/John

4. Lena/Morgan

5. Todd/Ashlie

6. Steve/Anna Leigh

7. Joe/Ian

8. Yeremi/Liam

9. Joel/Garrett

10. Andrea/Malaina

11. Robbin/Chelsea

12. Elizabeth/Iliana -- Philiminated

Survivor fans ready?

We start off with Previously On. My blog pool pick is highlighted, of course.

Lulu - Night 3 - The tribe feels bad that Hannah is gone, quit the game. Sean laments missing flint and Hannah. Emily apologizes to both Kaleb and Sabiyah, as well as Sean. She claims to feel like they gaslighted her and her game blew up. She tries to explain to Sabiyah that she felt it as do or die. Her tribemates have issues with her behavior. Emily is the blog pool pick I received. This is going to be a tough one.

Reba -Day 4 - Sifu is out there doing tai chi or something. Now he's punching trees and machete chopping branches. Okay. Maya thinks there is a clue hidden in the tribe flag. Drew and Austin are also looking. Austin has the advantage clue and tries it with the flag. He thinks it says "dig in the fallen palm tree x." He has no vote due to the advantage.

Belo - Day 4 - Bruce is working hard and they're calling him Uncle Bruce. They say he's hilarious as well as helpful. Of course, Bruce calls it Crazy Uncle Bruce. He feels his tribe is working way too slow. Katurah thinks he's acting like a Dad. She sees right through him. She says he is a threat and she thinks she's the only one who sees it.

Lulu - Day 4 - Emily is out there looking for an idol or advantage. The rest of the tribe decides to follow her. Brandon says she is now Public Enemy #1. He thinks he himself should search for it. He approaches her and says he will search with her. Kaleb also offers to search with her. Brandon finds something along with Sabiyah. Brandon thinks it is the Beware advantage and he didn't want to lose his vote. He gives it to Sabiyah. She loses her vote and it's a clue to lie the clue over the map to their camp. It lines up with a tree. Brandon and her can't find it. She tells Sean and Kaleb. They can't find it.

Reba - Dee's toes segment. Um. Okay. The tribe is bonding. Julie's knees are all scraped up. She decides to work with Dee and Drew ... also Austin. Drew's knees are also rough.

Lulu - Day 4 - Emily tries to talk to Kaleb. He thinks he understands her. He is trying to help her. They bond. Quite surprising. She seems to really respond. Now she's making up with Sabiyah. And Brandon. And Sean. She's really upset with her own attitude. Her knees are a wreck, too. A boat is arriving.

All tribes get a boat. One person from each camp, will return this afternoon. Brandon goes from Lulu. Bruce rock paper scissor to go as does Drew.

The three boats let the three castaways off on a beach. There is a table. Use the time to get to know each other, the game centers around relationships. They need to get to know each other, then they will go off on separate paths. Drew thinks Bruce kept too much to himself while Brandon was open.

They each come upon a puzzle box with a combination lock on a case to earn an advantage. They can choose to play or leave. Bruce doesn't do it, doesn't want to risk his vote. Brandon plays. Drew plays. 

Drew gets his. Brandon runs out of time. Drew gets safety without power, can last get played when there are ten players in the game. Leave before Tribal, come back after.

The three return to their tribes. Brandon arrives on Lulu. He tells them he didn't complete the challenge and lost his vote. Drew arrives at Reba. He tells them the truth. He suggests that if he can hang onto it until the merge, he might give it to someone. Austin tells Drew about his advantage. Drew thinks Austin is his ride or die.

On Belo, Brando is mixing in very well with the girls in the tribe. Bruce and Jake think the girls will work together. He tries to talk to Brando. Brando thinks he's good with Bruce. Bruce thinks he is good with Kelli, Brando and Jake.

Day 5. Immunity Challenge. One at a time climb tower, smash ball in the water, retrieve keys, balance beam,  all three keys a puzzle. Reward fishing gear, second tribe lesser fishing gear. Losing tribe will go to Tribal and lose flint. New sit out rule, must play in the next challenge.

REBA wins 1st! BELO wins 2nd. Lulu lu-looses again. Brandon did horribly on the puzzle.

Lulu - Brandon has no vote and his voice shaky as he tries to tell them he wants to stay. Emily and Brandon know it will be between them. Sabiyah doesn't have a vote either. They go looking for the idol again. Sabiyah spots the coconut in the tree with the idol. It's encased in wax and they must melt the candle to get it. They have no flint. Emily gives Sabiyah her shot in the dark to earn trust.

Night 5 Tribal Council. Jeff brings up the "heat" between Sabiyah and Emily. He asks Sean the tribe dynamics. Sean says Brandon and Emily are in trouble. Brandon says it's his first team. He says the puzzles are just bad days and he's Lulu Strong. Kaleb says Emily is trying as does Sean. Jeff tells Brandon he's likable. Emily says she has to tone down and show them trust. She mentions giving Sabiyah her Shot In The Dark.

Time to vote. Emily votes Brandon of course. Sabiyah can't vote, neither can Brandon.

The tally -- Brandon, Brandon. He's gone!

My pool pick Emily stays in the game.
