BB25: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - Oct. 13

Let's just keep the showmance in the house.

 Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loose Lips and Sinking Ships:

  • Okay, we know Jag won the HOH comp.
  • And he told his closest ally, Matt. 
  • I guess I can kind of understand that. Kind of.
  • Me? If I was the secret invisible HOH, I wouldn't tell anyone!
  • Instead of planning on breaking up the showmance in the house, Jag wants to target Blue.
  • Sure, she has been talking for weeks about wanting to target him.
  • BUT ... Blue has not won a comp yet. 
  • She's a lot of talk and no action.
  • Sure, Cirie is talk and no action in comps.
  • But there is a difference.
  • Cirie listens and observes.
  • She also endears them. She makes each person feel that she really likes and cares about them.
  • That's her strong suit.
  • Before the nominations were made, Jag went and told America and Cory!
  • Eep.
  • Perhaps he's thinking jury votes.
  • Or perhaps he's just not thinking at all.
  • Both Felicia and Cirie, pre-nominations, figured Jag won.
  • Jag will NOT put Cirie on the block. Matt would have a fit.
  • Jag was thinking it best to backdoor Blue.
  • Say what?
  • It's not like she's out there winning comps left and right!
  • Argh. Although Jag is my blog pool pick (randomly selected) he, like Cameron, has already been voted out and is only still in the game due to a twist.
  • You would think he would show twists some respect.
  • Nope. He's blabbed so much that just about everyone but Blue knows he won HOH.
  • And she will know soon.
  • He nominated Felicia and Blue.
  • Oh, well.
  • Oh. I'd also like to know why Blue's face always looks so greasy in the show Diary Room segments. It doesn't look like that on the feeds!
  • Laters!
Blue is the target. Um. Okay.

Cirie does her Cirie sailing through again.

Maybe I should backdoor Blue. Say what?

And Bowie Jane keeps on smiling.

BB25: Live Feeds into Friday, HOH - Oct. 13

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Mystery:
  • The live feeds were down all night.
  • I was tired last night and figured I would catch up in the morning.
  • Oh my. I woke up early, turned on the feeds and they had just switched from adoptable animals to the nethercolonoscopy WBRB screen.
  • Yay! I will find out right away who won HOH!
  • Um, no.
  • It turns out this "invisibility power" for the HOH just means no one tells they won HOH.
  • It was BB Comics, sounding like the common comp. 
  • The winning time was supposedly 8:30. The worst time mentioned was 15:44.
  • Matt, the only one remaining in the comp clothes with his cape, claims he screwed up at the end costing him about four minutes and his time was 13 minutes.
  • Is he lying?
  • Blue claims she did horribly at 15:44.
  • Is she lying?
  • How would Blue do worse than Cirie or Felicia? Remember, they had to go back and forth on a tie-line.
  • Cory was in the Diary Room for a long time. But when he came out, he also said he lost.
  • Okay, the one most likely and the one suspected because he hasn't said a time just admitted to Matt he won.
  • JAG is the new HOH.
  • He tells Matt he wants Blue gone.

Claims a 13-minute time.

It's a mystery!

But ... why is Cirie so cheery?

No one is saying.

Is that the fake Sadface Jag? Yep.

What time is it?

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.
