BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 12

 

Good evening! Tonight, we will get the conclusion of the big cliffhanger we were left with on Wednesday night. Will Jag save either Cirie or Felicia with the veto? And, if he does ... who will Bowie Jane put on the block to replace the person coming down? Oh, the suspense! (Shh ... live feed watchers. I know we already know but it's a secret until it airs!)

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
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? 

Julie is casual again tonight.

Sitting through the Previously On ...

Day 72. Julie tells us that Jag and Matt have been working all week to get Cameron on the block. Tonight's evicted is the first member of the jury.

To the action. Cameron has bad feelings about this one, he tells us. He tries talking to Jag. He thinks himself and Blue going after Cory/America would be best. He doesn't think he's convincing Jag.

To the veto meeting. Jag uses the veto to save Felicia. Bowie Jane nominates Cameron. He tells Bowie Jane that this move shows her character and he hopes she can live with that. Whoa, Cameron is really bitter about it. Hey, he was already evicted before and wouldn't even be in the house without a twist. He knew it would happen.

Cameron decides to turn everyone against Matt and Jag. He starts with talking to Blue. He tells her she will be next to jury next week. She is not buying what he's selling. Then he talks to Cory, telling him he needs to get Blue and Felicia aboard. Cory doesn't trust Matt and Jag but is not willing to throw his own game away for Cameron.

A segment about Matt and the whispers in the house. He can't read lips in groups. This actually happened on the live feeds maybe two weeks ago. He was in tears and Jag consoled him.

A filler segment about Cam's manfan crush on Kevin Costner. He tells Cory and Felicia about it. 

Cory talks to Jag and they both think Blue would be the next one to target. Cory wants Blue out as she has been after him for weeks now. Cory knows that Matt and Jag want Blue to do their dirty work.

Cirie is sitting pretty now. Cam decides to help Cirie and set up Matt and Jag for defeat. He volunteers to set her up with Cory, America and Blue. Cirie actually sees what he's saying. Cirie talks to Blue about her talk with Cam about Matt/Jag bulldozing their way through the game. She tries to get Blue to cut down on targeting Cory so much.

Are they EVER going to get to the eviction?

Jag tells us his final five would be himself, Matt, Cirie, Felicia and Bowie Jane. He talks to Cirie. Cirie is in the hammock with Cory now. She thinks she and Felicia will be perpetual pawns. Now she wants Cory to confide in her about going after Matt/Jag ... while Cirie sneaks her way to the end.

Finally, to the living room.
Cirie - Julie looks exquisite, shout outs to family, HG extraordinary days in the house.
Cameron - Also exquisite praise, family shout outs, if you keep me I will be loyal to all of you, won't vote anyone out, will throw all comps. Cory, thank you.

Exquisite is the word for tonight. They are all saying it to Julie tonight.

The votes to evict:
Matt - Cameron
Blue - Cameron
Felicia - Cameron
Jag - Cameron
America - Cameron
Cory - Cameron 

He knew it was coming. He hugs all. He tells Julie he screwed up. He feels most betrayed by himself. He says Cirie told him that he doesn't always have to tell people what someone else told you. 

Julie tells us that (after commercial) BB Comic Week crashes the house and takes everyone by surprise.

Unleashing super powers into the game. BB Power of Invisibility shields the HOH, then MultiPlicity confuses the Power of Veto. Something crashed in the HOH room and Julie tells them to all go up there. 

This is what crashed into the HOH room.

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - Oct. 12

 

On the block yet having fun.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whirling Dervishes:

  • Well, they made it through Waffle Wednesday without one hint of a flip.
  • Cameron was already unanimously voted out of the house and is only back in due to a twist in the game.
  • They still want him out.
  • He should be voted out once again in a unanimous house vote tonight.
  • Cameron knows the jig is up, the news is out, they finally found him. The renegade is accepting his fate.
  • He even told America that, no matter what they do next week, please do NOT send Felicia into jury with him. He doesn't want to be alone with her for a week in the jury house.
  • The others have all moved on and act almost as if he is already gone.
  • They're all trying to guess the comp. Slip and Slide is still a mention as is BB Comics.
  • Cirie and Felicia think a spelling comp is coming up. They practiced their spelling with M&Ms. Unfortunately, the spelling comps of the past have all been dependent on what letters could be found.
  • Technotronics! 
  • America, Bowie Jane and Jag did a makeover on Cory. Jag did the makeup.
  • Cory is a good sport about these things!
  • It was funny.
  • As for game, Blue is planning to throw the HOH comp. I guess she wants Cory/America and Jag/Matt to duke it out.
  • But, instead ... it could very well trigger her own demise in the game.
  • Matt and Jag think keeping Cirie rather than Felicia will be better for their end game.
  • Much will be decided depending on who wins the HOH tonight.
  • Laters!

M&M strategies.

And Bowie Jane keeps smiling.

Jag does Cory's makeup.

He keeps cornering America.

Is it Thursday yet?

The Amazing Race 35: No Sleep and a Million Dollar Dream - Ep. 3 - Blog Party

 

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 updated 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
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
Morgan & Lena -- Bizaro22, Debbie in FL, Krysta
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!

Sitting through the Previously On segment.

They are flying to Vietnam. Take a long bus ride to Can Tho (a city). The first two teams -- Jocelyn/Victor and Rob/Corey -- end up with the same flight. Morgan and Lena only have to leg four to use the express pass. So they will probably use it today. Morgan/Lena and Greg/John are also on that first flight.

Whoa ... six hours difference with the next flight! Joe and Ian ended up with an earlier flight than the others on a second flight! Same with Joel/Garrett. Ohh ... trouble at the airport as some of the later teams have an early flight. Uh-oh ... the first flight is now 3PM instead of 1:45.

The first flight has arrived in Vietnam. They need to take taxis to the bus station. Interesting -- it's a sleeper bus and they have to take their shoes off upon entering. Teams arrive in Can Tho at night. They take time slots for the next segment of their trip. The dock doesn't open until 5:45AM.

It's a bunching point as teams arrive. But in the morning the teams are going out 15 minutes apart.

The 5:45 group is heading towards the Mekong Delta to a floating market. Dragonfruits, tangerines and golden melons must be delivered. Second group heading out. And the third. As they finish each delivery, they get a third of a clue.

Morgan and Lena decide to use their Express Pass.

Joel/Garrett through with the fruit delivery first and have all three parts of the clue. Then Steve/Anna Leigh. Joe and Ian forgot to take their clue.

Joel/Garrett - Detour - Paper or Plastic. Making rice paper 12 sheets. Or, customizing the wrapping on one body part of a moped. Lena/Morgan get there and choose Plastic.


Uh-oh, Greg/John are going around in circles with their boat deliveries.

More teams are hitting the Detour. Paper seems the more popular. As soo as I say that, two teams pick Plastic. Uh-oh, only five ovens available at the Paper. The Plastic does seem to be harder.

Steve/Anna Leigh finish the Detour first and are on their way to the Pit Stop.

Pit Stop Order: 
1. Steve/Anna Leigh - still racing, leg not over.
2. Joel/Garrett ... still racing, of course.
3. Rob/Corey - they get the clue
4. Todd/Ashlie
5. Robbin/Chelsea
6. Morgan/Lena
7. Joe/Ian
8. Greg/John
9. Andrea/Malaina
10. Jocelyn/Victor
11. Liam/Yeremi

All teams still racing. 

Survivor 45: No Man Left Behind - Ep. 3 - Blog Party - Oct. 11


 Good evening! Are you ready for our big three-hour reality extravaganza? Well, only 90 minutes of it are Survivor. Hopefully a different tribe will lose tonight as Lulu is in a sad state of affairs.

A separate post for The Amazing Race will magically appear at about 9:25PM ET. So, please shift over to that post for that show. Merci!

I will be live blogging the show the best I can. Keep in mind that these castaways are still very new to me, and I may have issues with the names! Refresh this page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. You can refer to my cheat sheet casting post that has photos to check on your pick!

Belo – Blue Tribe – Fijian word for Heron

Brando --- Jasonuwp, Marthalight, MikesGirl
Bruce --- Krysta, Skyriverblue
Jake --- Donna in FL, TS14Fan
Katurah --- Donna NY, April W
Kellie --- Michelle, Bizaro22
Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC

Lulu – Yellow Tribe – Fijian word for Owl

Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie
Kaleb --- CherylNY, Cookie Jar
Sabiyah --- Cheryl in NC, cctru
Sean --- Auntie Leigh, David

Reba – Red Tribe – Fijian word for Goshawk

Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N
Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee
Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924
Maya --- Petals, Glenn Allen, Nickelpeed
Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready?

We go on a bit of a whirlwind tour of the tribes and what previously happened on them.

Lulu Night 5 - Returning from tribal without Brandon. Sabiyah said in the Marines they have a saying "no man left behind" but Brandon had to go. She says Emily must continue to prove the trust. She gave Emily her shot in the dark back. Emily thinks there may have only been three votes because Jeff only read two votes. She brings it up. Sabiyah couldn't vote but wasn't about to discuss it with Emily!

Belo Day 6 - Weird, Jake seemed to have a seizure of some sort and almost fell in the fire. He has no clue what it was. Dehydration? Kellie(or Kendra?) talks to Jake and bonds with him. 

Reba Day 6 - The crab they caught to eat ate the earthworms they were going to eat. Austin goes off with Drew looking for the idol. Julie and Dee have noticed that Austin and Drew are a bit too close. They watch Drew digging. He makes up a story about seeing Sifu hanging over there and thought maybe something was there. They are four strong. Dee doesn't trust them.

Already to the Reward Challenge. Start in ocean, race to beach, throw ball into overhead track and run to catch it, make basket to raise ring target, toss rings, three to win. First tribe to finish wins large fruit platter, second smaller one. Winning tribe can send one person to another tribe to steal one tribe item or just get intel. 


LULU wins first place! Reba wins second place! Kaleb wants to go and is backed by the others. Emily says he's perfect, smart and personable.

Kaleb heads to the boat. In addition to stealing an item he can forge a relationship with someone - that gift is an advantage to recover a lost vote. Kaleb heads to Reba. Drew thinks Kaleb is running the Lulu tribe. He does start schmoozing them. Kaleb tells them he wants the entire fishing gear set, leaving them the spear. They are impressed with him. 

Kaleb gives Drew the Good Will Advantage. He explains the advantage and Drew thinks it's perfect to give to his ally Austin who has lost the vote. Drew tells Austin and Dee about it.

Lulu Day 5 - The four are feasting! Sean likes "this" Emily as does Sabiyah now. Sabiyah thinks that Kaleb would be dangerous to sit next to at the end. Should she and Sean get him out? (Yikes! Not pre-merge!) They talk to Emily about it. Now, Kaleb is the only one who was nice to her at the start. She tells them she will do whatever they want.

Belo Day 7 - The guys take the raft out and go fishing. The women talk. They don't think Jake is a threat even though he's a lawyer. However, they do think Bruce is annoying and Katurah wants him targeted. Kellie talks to Brando as he's her ally.

On Reba, Austin tells Dee and Julia about the advantage which points to the flag and a hidden clue. The four (Drew is with them) go off digging. One keeps Sifu and Jaye (Maya) occupied while the others dig. They find a buried rope and follow it. Julie and Dee find a hammer which directs them to break a rock near the water well. All four head to the water well. It's an Immunity Idol! Only good for one tribal council, though. If you sacrifice your vote, it will last to merge. If you sacrifice again, until final five.

Day 7 - Immunity Challenge. Race out with a cart, release two keys, release heavy puzzle pieces, massive puzzle one player calling. 


REBA wins Immunity! Belo takes second Immunity! And, for the third time, Lulu has to go to Tribal. (They still don't have flint.)

Poor Lulu. The four are so saddened. Kaleb thinks Sean and Sabiyah will go after Emily. Sabiyah suggests to Kaleb they have stories so Emily won't use her shot in the dark. Sabiyah does not have a vote and wants Kaleb out. She wants to melt the idol's covering in the campfire at Tribal. Sabiyah tells Emily about the idol. Now Emily is suspicious of Sabiyah and wants to tell Kaleb. She tells him to vote Sabiyah. Kaleb thinks Emily is telling him what's been told to her or vote out Sabiyah.

Tribal Council time. Sabiyah puts her wax-covered idol near the fire. Jeff asks what's up. She tells him she needs her vote tonight. Jeff reviews the past few days with them. Kaleb talks about his "raid" on the other camp. Emily says her game is on the line. Sabiyah says it remains in the back of their minds what Emily said at the start. A scroll was showing after the fire burned away the wax. Jeff is asking what Emily could have done behind the backs of others.

Time to vote. Emily votes Sabiyah. Sabiyah does indeed have an idol -- it's got the same rules as the one just found by the other tribe. She doesn't vote so she can keep it until merge. (Or so it seems.)

The tally - Sabiyah, Kaleb, Sabiyah ... three votes, not four. She's shocked.

Next week, the tribes switch! 

BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday - Oct.11

 

Showing some leg to gain house favor.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Waffle Wednesday:

  • Gee, they might just have toast and eggs today.
  • It's not that Cameron's not trying to campaign, mind you.
  • It's more the glazed look of indifference in the faces of the others as he constantly retells events that happened, how people have done him wrong, how great he would be to leave in the house to fight for all that is good and glorious ... whatever.
  • Cory, called Skeezy by Cirie and Felicia and knows it, found out that Cameron has been calling him "that kid."
  • So, now in addition to saying that he is like "America's father," he can expect Cory to call him Daddy.
  • Cameron has been successful in making many of the others suspicious of each other.
  • However, that won't help him stay in the house.
  • It will, of course, possibly create chaos which is one of Cameron's take the page from Russell Hantz bits this season.
  • THE most unflappable person under Cameron's interrogations is Smiling Bowie Jane. "You pushed too hard for Cory, that's that."
  • They keep trying to figure out what comp is headed their way -- slip and slide, comics, spelling?
  • I do like that the show has switched up some of the comps a bit. 
  • Although today is Waffle Wednesday and this bunch waffles EVERY Wednesday, I think they will stick with the Cam eviction.
  • It should be another house vote.
  • Yeah, like the first time they evicted him.
  • Laters!

Well, she does cook.

Maybe the half-Audrey will help.

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

Maybe this approach will work!
