BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 10

 

Good evening! Make sure you have your beverages and snacks nearby. I hope everyone remembers this Tuesday night change! 

We have Felicia and Cirie on the block. Will someone win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees? Tonight, we are scheduled to have the ZingBot appearance. As I said before, not a fan of it. I often have issues understanding what is being said with that weird ZingBot voice -- how is Matt going to understand?!?! Plus, I just find it mean. It could be just me.

I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. I'll be updating regularly -- please refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

As my norm, I'm sitting out the Previously on segment.

We pick up the action at the end of the nominations ceremony. Bowie Jane tells us that Cirie is her target. Cirie tells us she wanted to go longer not on the block and needs to win her first time playing for veto. Felicia tells MR. B that she needs to win a veto.

Cory suggests a Cam backdoor to Jag and Bowie Jane. He is sure that Cameron will win again and target him. Bowie Jane tells us that Cameron never did anything to her and her noms are made. Jag also thinks that Cameron needs to go.

Bowie Jane talks to Cameron. She goes and tells him about Cory suggesting he get backdoored. Cam tells her she needs to backdoor Cory. She doesn't want the blood on her hands, nor problems with America. She thinks Cory and Cam should just go after each other and leave her out of it.

Jag tells Matt he needs to talk to Bowie Jane about targeting Cameron.

Time to pick veto players! Bowie Jane draws Matt. Cirie draws Jag. Felicia draws America. Oh my, Cameron is NOT drawn for veto!

Jag and Cam talk. Cam is all suspicious that Mecole's warning about Cory, America and Bowie Jane being in an alliance were true. He's building up the scenario and wants Cory out as a backdoor. Jag tells us he will use all the stuff Cam is saying about Bowie Jane.

Jag goes to Bowie Jane telling her how Cameron doesn't trust her. Now she's suspicious of him!

Uh-oh. The ScrambleVerse globe is lighting and it's ZingBot. It's ZingBot9<3<3<3. It claims it's nice because of the ScrambleVerse. Head to the backyard for the veto comp.

It's OTEV. OTEV is the Zinging Robot and gives out the zings. America robbing the cradle. Bigger wrinkles to this game multiverse twist or Felicia. Jag your gameplay reminds me of a sportscar, not a Jaguar but Aston Moron, Lame Bhorginhi. Blue fashion insult. (I'm not getting all of these.) Bowie Jane - Scary white teeth that terrify people, pigtails. Mecole - me-bored to six week me-coma, so under the radar forgot evicted. Matt - Cardboard Josh, similar intelligence. Cirie - You're alone, can finally lose well on an island. Cameron - Lt. Loser to Major BLEEP Tool. Song about Cory set to America the Beautiful, tiny man, can't kiss, etc.

Okay, it starts. Typical OTEV. A Crapbook of the Most Pathetic Losers of BB25. Each round one loser who has been evicted, retrieve, up the flowing water hill, kneel, one less place to kneel each time. We get the DR blurbs from those who have to win.

1. Photos of 2nd and 3rd evicted. Cirie has the wrong answers - Reilly and Kirsten, should be Reilly and Hisam. She goes back while Felicia and Bowie Jane are still searching. She makes it up last and is eliminated first.

2. Photos of loser who finished last in the Kicking Butt comp. Kirsten is the right answer. America drops her photo by the ramp and Felicia takes her place. America is out.

3. Loser who had to wear a piggy costume for the week ... Izzy only because Cam is still in the game. Felicia last up.

4. Loser eliminated 1st in the Pressure Cooker. Jared is the answer. Matt up last, eliminated.

5. Losers who were evicted with 8 votes to evict. It's down to Jag and Bowie Jane. Izzy and Red are the answers. 

JAG WINS THE POV! 

Cirie thinks her game life is in the hands of a LameBorghini. She doesn't think Jag will use it so that either Cory or Cameron will be backdoored. Little does she know that that is exactly Jag's intention.

Bowie Jane is approached to Cameron because he is having weird feelings. She tells him that it sounds like Jag wants to use the veto. He doesn't want to be on the block. He pushes the Cory renom idea. Cameron tries to guilt trip her for even considering putting him on the block.

We are left on a cliffhanger. 

BB Comic Week kicks off on Thursday.

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - Oct. 10

 

Giving unsolicited game advice to all.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Toodles to Poodles:

  • Although Cameron is surprised and confused that Cirie was left on the block with him, he knows he will be voted out.
  • No sense even campaigning to stay.
  • What to do? What to do?
  • Well, he can go around giving unsolicited game advice to others, right?
  • He warned Blue about wanting to be with the "cool kids," Matt and Jag.
  • After all, Bowie Jane fell for them!
  • He gave Cirie game and people advice.
  • BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
  • Cirie was already having reservations about Matt and Jag -- Cameron confirmed them.
  • She talked to Blue about how they will always be at the bottom of any alliance.
  • Of course, Blue's dislike for Cory keeps her from being at the bottom of that alliance.
  • However, the house has two power alliances -- Matt/Jag and Cory/America versus Felicia, Cirie, Bowie Jane and Blue.
  • If the four women could band together, they might have something.
  • Mind you, they would have to win comps.
  • As for the physical comps, Bowie Jane might be the best competitor IF she WANTS to win. She can't play for HOH this week.
  • Cameron thinks he has the record for nominations. He's not even close.
  • Cameron told Bowie Jean her true character showed now.
  • "Thank you, mate! That makes me proud."
  • Heh.
  • In between lecturing and questioning who's working with whom rounds, Cameron generally sat with his sunglasses on staring into the netherland.
  • Jag might be being a bit extra. He thinks he and Matt should make a fake final three with Cirie the same way they did with Bowie. (And possibly Blue before that!)
  • I'm actually unsure what all these final three, etc. deals will do.
  • If Cory or America win HOH, doubtful as it may be, will they make the move to target Matt or Jag?
  • Throughout the house, the Cameron advice/lectures are going through numerous retells.
  • Hey, he got them all talking to each other!
  • Hmm.
  • Laters!

I like Blue better without Jared.

And Bowie Jane smiled some more.

Oh my, having skin issues under the makeup.

Bereft without his flosser.

BB25: Live Feeds into Monday Morning, POV Meeting - Oct. 9

 

Cirie! America and I are officially
girlfriend/boyfriend!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the HOH from Down Under:

  • All is in motion.
  • Jag will be using the veto later during the Veto Meeting.
  • As per Cirie's offer, he will save Felicia. Cirie volunteered saying that this way Felicia won't have to pack again and it will be less stressful for her.
  • Bowie Jane will replace Felicia with Cameron.
  • Cameron and Cirie will be on the block and Cameron will probably be unanimously voted out. (Like he already was!)
  • Now, if nobody tells Cam, all should go smoothly.
  • Yeah, right. This is BB25.
  • Cameron did confront Bowie Jane and Jag asking if he was going on the block. He told them he just wanted to know, he would be the same old friendly Cameron and all. (??!!) He says that if he goes on the block, he knows he will be evicted.
  • Y'think?
  • Sure enough, while Bowie Jane, Jag, and Matt are celebrating upstairs, out in the hammock America is talking to Cameron.
  • And telling all.
  • Every alliance, every word she's heard, that Jag is using the veto, that Cam will be the renom.
  • Cameron definitely gets upset that his fellow Fugitive is betraying him.
  • But then he goes on to tell America everything about his own game.
  • Not that she will get it all right on a retell to Cory, mind you.
  • But as Blue said to him, "You got voted out unanimously for how you were playing the game. So, you come back in and play the same way again."
  • Meanwhile, America and Cory are now officially named as boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess I underestimated the depths of their endying love for each other.
  • It's Monday morning and Cameron is once again talking to America. She seems to be the only one who will sit and listen to him.
  • He's telling her that he personally saved Bowie Jane and was there for her when she was in tears and this is the thanks he gets.
  • Cameron told America that he went to Bowie Jane about Jag using the veto and what she will do. He said she just said it's up to Jag whether he wants to use the veto or not (and avoided what she will do).
  • Meanwhile, in the house everyone else is gathered in the kitchen. Bowie Jane says to all what a bad game player Cameron is.
  • Cameron went from friendly non-game talk with Matt directly to: "How long have you known about the backdoor plan?"
  • Oh my.
  • He goes on to Matt about how hurt he is by Bowie Jane.
  • He is putting Matt on a mighty guilt trip. He's really putting Matt on the spot. He tells him that he gave Jag and Bowie a chance last night and they let him down.
  • Cameron thinks the move was intentional all along.
  • Matt tells him it wasn't.
  • It actually wasn't. Bowie wanted Cirie out. They pretty much assumed Cameron would play for veto and win it.
  • Technically, it isn't even really a backdoor because it was not planned.
  • The pieces fell in place once Jag won the veto.
  • Cory went to quick work making a sandwich and had just started to eat and Cam accused him of knowing what's going on when ... adoptable pets and the loud music started. 
  • Veto meeting in progress. 2:05PM ET.
  • Feeds returned at 3:36PM ET.
  • It went as planned. Cameron is up in place of Felicia.
  • Blue tells Matt that Cameron is just being dramatic. She doesn't think he will pitch to stay.

That's a back brace, silly Jag!

Let's party!

America tells all to Cameron
who tells all he knows to her.

So, this is really happening?

Felicia must have the record for Bible reading.

BB25: Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 8

 


Good evening! Tonight is Nominations and probably a lot of filler material. Yes, I am so excited.

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?

After the show start being delayed about five minutes, we are into the Previously On segment. Okaaay ... we have Mecole getting evicted again. Soon Bowie Jane should win HOH.

We pick up the action after Julie tells them good night. Bowie Jane admits to us that she tried to throw the comp. America feels good. Cameron thinks of her as his person. Cory is all stressed out with both Mecole and Felicia calling him out. Cameron thinks Cory is obsessed with being the smartest in the room. Oh, wait ... Mecole is still there! Dang, stale filler material!

Okay, now Mecole is gone. Felicia is angry at herself for losing the tiebreaker. Cirie thinks she has had Bowie Jane issues dating back to the Red vote.

We get a bathroom victory dance with Bowie Jane, Jag, Cory, Matt, America. Jag tells us Bowie Jane is a good choice for the final three with himself and Matt. Cory and America want to work with her now, too. Bowie Jane tells us she wants to play her own game.

Cirie and Blue talk about Jared leaving. Blue knows she can trust Cirie. Blue thinks that Bowie Jane will put up Cory and America. Cirie thinks right now the person she can trust the most is Blue.

Cameron told Cory that Blue is after him. Matt tells him that Cam said that so Blue and Cory would go after each other. Cory tells Jag he would like to see Blue and Cam nominated. They think they all need to talk to Bowie Jane about it. Matt is worried that the survivor of such a plan will be mad coming after them. Jag and Matt aren't really in on the Cory/America proposed plan.

We get a lesson in turbans.

Blue talks to Cirie and Felicia. Blue wants Bowie Jane to put Cory and America on the block. Cirie thinks her best way would be to influence Matt and Jag that Cory and America should be the targets. They try with the "Minutemen."

Jag thinks that he would like Cory around as a shield. He tells us that, not Cirie or Felicia. Matt and Cameron talk. Cameron, once again, is pushing a Cory ouster.

More filler -- talk with Felicia about going into the service. She had domestic violence problems which actually inspired her to go in. Cameron tells us he respects her because of that.

Jag and Matt talk. Jag thinks that Cory/America are good to keep in the game. Is the best outcome Cam leaving? Matt tells us that Cam is the biggest threat in the house. Well, duh! They go to talk to Bowie Jane.

Matt lists all the possibilities for noms. Bowie Jane tells us she doesn't want to do anything crazy for her game. She thinks Cirie and Felicia need to go. Matt tells her that Felicia is not a threat. Jag thinks because the whole house is anti-Cory, he should stay. Bowie Jane is resistant to the suggestion of putting Cam up.

Cirie talks to Bowie Jane. She tells her she hasn't been against her. Bowie Jane is talking with all to see where she is in the game and solidify relationships. Cory suggest Cameron and Blue, America suggests them, too. Bowie Jane is more concerned with who doesn't like her rather than the big targets. She doesn't want to do the dirty work of others. Blue tells her to target Cory/America. Bowie Jane thinks she'd rather put up Felicia and Cirie.

Cameron talks to her. She tells us people are spilling who they want out to her and she never knew them like that.

Nominations today and it's time for the ceremony. Bowie Jane first nominates Felicia, then Cirie. She apologizes and tells everyone to BLAME CORY. She quickly said she's joking.

BB25: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - Oct. 8

 
Smile while you can, Blue.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Squirrely Snakes:
  • As you know from my last post, Jag won the power of veto.
  • Now, Cameron is sure that is a good thing. Since he wasn't picked to play, a win by Jag just has to be the second best thing.
  • That is until it's not.
  • Cameron is sure he's working with Matt and Jag with the target being Cory.
  • He's also sure, since he's been telling her so since he returned after being evicted, Bowie Jane is his person.
  • Of course, if the nominations remain the same -- Cirie and Felicia -- that's no skin off his nose, so to speak.
  • But is that's what's happening?
  • Nope. Nosirreebob! Nuh-uh!
  • Y'see ... separately Bowie Jane was approached by Jag, Matt and Cory.
  • They all pushed gently for the renomination of Cameron.
  • Cirie and Felicia approached her together. Their pitch is that all three are the underdogs and that Cameron is wanted out by most/all of the house.
  • It worked.
  • Bowie Jane agreed and told Cirie and Felicia she will take one down when Jag uses the veto and put Cameron up.
  • With this cast this season, obviously nothing is written in stone until they vote at the live eviction.
  • But this is looking pretty solid.
  • Cameron's pitch to Bowie Jane to get Cory out didn't bode well because Bowie Jane knows that part of the house will be mad at her and, while Cameron is telling her to focus on a win, the big win just isn't that important to her.
  • They have toyed around with telling Cam at the veto meeting that he said he just wanted a week so he could make jury!
  • In other news, Felicia pronounces the silent L in salmon. That drives me bonkers. Also, when they were talking about movie stars and crushes, Felicia said "Denzel Washington" much to the laughter of others. When told about Cameron thinking she was Denzel's sister, she said she'd like to sit and talk to Denzel about that.
  • Also, the OTEV comp brought out a lot of comp stories.
  • One thing we were never shown on television is that when Felicia ended up outside the house with the Exorcist comp, she did go back in. She did have to climb through the chimney, "sewage" and all. However, she did seem to time out because she was convinced she was looking for more hair.
  • With OTEV, Cirie was apparently out on the first question and had the question itself wrong, too.
  • After Cirie was out, it was then Matt and America out of the comp.
  • Felicia was out next, then Bowie Jane threw the comp to Jag.
  • Laters
Admits to Matt that he has thrown comps.

Let your hair hang down.

Tells Cory he only threw the Nether comp.

Cam thinks he's safe.

What? We're both staying?
