BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - Oct. 18

 

I swear he's gotten paler all season.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother house of Waltzing Matildas:
  • My apologies for not posting an update yesterday. Blogger updated and my computer decided to argue with the update. By the time it was straightened out, it was time for the show.
  • Back to after the renominations, I have a few things to say.
  • First off, America went crying under the covers.
  • Cory, who told her he would sacrifice his game for her to stay, went off trying to talk to people and start campaigning.
  • America eventually talked to Cory telling him he should stay.
  • Jag wanted to talk to both of them. As a matter of fact, he wanted both of them to talk with himself, Blue and Matt.
  • When America went to the bathroom where Matt and Jag were lounging, Jag said, "When you're ready, I'd like to talk to you."
  • All America said was, "Eff off." and walked away.
  • She did say a different word, but I try to keep this blog family friendly.
  • She avoided all for hours.
  • Felicia and Cirie went to talk to her on separate occasions to console her a bit.
  • Cory cuddled with her in between his campaign efforts.
  • Both think Cory is the target. And ... he is.
  • Felicia and Cirie, despite their issues with each other a week ago, are back together as a not so power-duo. 
  • Although often Matt's champion, Cirie pointed out to Felicia that Matt and Jag will always be most faithful to each other. After all, Matt saved Jag in the game.
  • Cory told America he is definitely the target this week and she should work on building relationships with others to strengthen her game.
  • She, of course, thinks he's the target and it's all her fault.
  • Well, in a way it is. She started the showmance and, if she could win comps, she would be the target. 
  • Her mouth and attitude are problems. But they worry more about Cory's game knowledge and sneakiness.
  • They did get the smaller table. That was long overdue.
  • Cirie had a few superhero tasks assigned -- she had to spend two hours in the pool to test the suit and almost immediately after getting out had to take 100 laps around the yard.
  • She made them walking laps.
  • Cirie talked to America, misting her for the vote if she makes it that far.
  • Plus, Cirie has been making comments about how nasty everyone is getting and how she just wants to keep away from it.
  • She offered America her shoulder to cry on or if she just wants some down time, she's always welcome.
  • That's about it.
  • Laters!


I SO won't miss the showmance!

Cirie - 100 laps around the backyard!

And Bowie kept smiling.

Like Cam before, Jag CANNOT win all the comps!

Cirie mists America

BB25: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Oct. 17


Good evening! Make sure you have your beverages and snacks nearby. Tonight's show is supposed to run 15 minutes longer than usual. My apologies for not posting live feeds today. Blogger had some kind of update and caused me issues. I'm lucky to get here now!

We have Blue and Felicia on the block. The twist has two veto comps with two separate veto holders. Will someone or some two win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees or even both? Live feed followers already know, but shhh ... not here until it airs.

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!

Sitting through the Previously On segment.

The action picks up after nominations. Jag tells us that he didn't want to go after Cory/America because he and Matt would be the only "couple" left in the house. Felicia and Blue are both angry. Felicia is on the block for the 5th time and says this is a wasted HOH.

Jag wants Blue to think the invisible HOH is Cory. Blue thinks Jag is the only one who could have done the comp so fast. Cory and America were told by Jag that he's the HOH. Matt also knows. No one else does. Felicia approaches both Cory and Jag and asks if she or Blue is the real target.

Felicia's gut tells her Jag is the HOH. Cory says if he wins next week, he will put Matt and Jag on the block. They think they are safe for this week and trust Matt/Jag. 

America doesn't want Blue to go this week. She tells Blue she's the target. Blue does not think Matt/Jag would ever go after her and does not believe America.

The Comic globe is lighting and making a whomp-whomp sound. Another transmission. The BB Power of Multiplicity, multiplying the number of veto players - 8 playing. Two veto comps being played. Two different houseguests will win a POV.

Matt talks to Blue. She wants him to save her, so rats out Cory and America for trying to recruit her. She tells all. Matt tells us he doesn't want to work with C/A if they are not going to protect them. Blue tells him she's loyal to him and Jag. Then she goes to Jag and tells him.

Now Jag is reconsidering. He wants to win the veto. Blue wants to win the veto. Felicia wants to win the veto. There are two vetoes to be won, not three.

The comp is BB Superhero Academy. An endurance competition with them standing on a small disk suspended by a rope and spun around while being battered. There is a cash bonus for winning, too.


Felicia down first. Bowie Jane down. Cirie down, threw it because she doesn't want to decide between saving Felicia or Blue. Cory down. Matt down. America throws it because she is sure she's safe. It's down to Jag and Blue. To commercial after a Jag DR session saying he wants to win because he doesn't want to expose himself as the HOH -- despite Matt, America and Cory already knowing because he told them.

43 minutes have gone by and they are still up. One hour now. One hour and 17 minutes. One hour 32 minutes. One hour 44 minutes. Two hours. Blue down at 2 hours 6 minutes. JAG wins veto!

Jag must test his power of flight and hold onto a bar flying around the academy. The others must guess the flight time with the winner closest to the actual time. The two furthest from the time will receive punishments. Every 15 seconds he wins $500 dollars. He wins $3,500.

BLUE wins veto!

Felicia and Cirie get the punishments. Felicia can choose the first crystal. She gets 24 hours solitary. Cirie gets Superhero Quick Change. Every time the academy asks she must change into her superhero outfit in the phone booth.

Jag tells us he will have to change the nominations. Cory and America should be scared.

Matt and Jag talked. Jag tells Matt they need to get out either Cory or America. He doesn't know if he wants one up or both. Plus, he has to talk to Blue because he's lied to her about being the individual HOH.

Felicia gets sent to her isolation. She has a tarped over toilet, water bottles, PB&J sandwich makings. She isn't happy not being able to talk to people or campaign for safety.

Cirie gets her punishment. She has her costume. Her first test is rolling from one side of the yard to the other and rolling back. She has a week of this. Super balance tested standing on one leg in the living room for 30 minutes, standing under the outdoor shower, x-ray vision guessing what's under the cover on the tray. They put all kinds of things under it, including condoms. She kept guessing fiber gummies.

Jag talks to Cory/America. Cory suggests Cirie going up. Then Jag tells Matt he wants to put up both Cory and America up. He won't be telling them because he will be breaking their trust the minute he does it anyway.

Felicia cleaned the whole comic room in isolation is done and she is released after her 24 hours. Jag talks to her. He tells her that he's the HOH. He tells Cirie, too. He tells Bowie Jane. He tells Felicia he will save her and put up Cory and America. He tells everyone except Cory/America. Oh ... and Blue.

He talks to Blue, telling her that Cory/America poisoned him against her. She accepts it well and hugs him in joy about them going on the block.

And ... we end on a cliffhanger ...

BB25: Live Feeds Monday Veto Meeting - Oct. 16

 

Matt's Breakfast of Champions

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of What's a Secret?:

  • By the time the veto meeting was held (it's going on now as I get this written up), everybody except Cory and America were told of the plan to renom said Cory and America.
  • Even they seemed to sense something was afoot.
  • Jag told Felicia the plan when she got out of isolation yesterday.
  • She jumped for joy and did a whole lot of hugging.
  • Felicia and Blue mended fences.
  • They want the final five to be themselves, Matt, Jag and Cirie.
  • Cirie continues to just listen a lot, nod her head and stay out of drama.
  • However, America is going around saying how worried Cirie is that she will be going on the block and get evicted. She's begging them in her campaign to stay ... according to America, that is.
  • In reality, nothing of the sort is occurring.
  • Unlike Jag, Cirie knows to keep quiet.
  • I'm actually surprised that Jag didn't feel the need to "warn" Cory and America.
  • The plan, of course, is that Blue will save herself with her veto and Jag will take down Felicia with his veto.
  • The plan is to renom America first, then Cory.
  • Of the two (America and Cory), Cory is the target because they think he has more game knowledge than America. They think she will sink without him.
  • Now I'm just waiting out the feed blockage to make sure it did indeed go down as planned.
  • Yes, he did it.
  • After a two-hour feeds block, we're back.
  • Cory and America seem to be hiding under the covers.
  • Blue, Matt and Jag are talking rehashing events leading up to the move and Cory/America's protests.
  • Cory and America are on the block.
  • Waffle Wednesday won't matter much. One or the other will go home. 

Block boy toy.

He actually did it!

Both of us?!?!

BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Oct. 15

 

Good evening! Tonight we will see the HOH comp and its new HOH winner with the power of Invisibility. I'm thinking we should also be seeing the nominations as well. However, they are messing around with stuff this season. I could be wrong.

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!

Just a quick programming note -- Tuesday's POV show, scheduled at 8PM ET/PT, is expected to be an hour and 15 minutes long.

Tonight's show in some markets isn't starting until 10:12PM ET due to football. Grr.

Hamster watchers ready?

Skipping to my lou through the "Previously On" segment. 

Julie mentions the ComicVerse and we see the thing crashed into the HOH room. BB Comics, always a veto comp, will have its first run at an HOH comp. Cirie tells us with Cam gone they can say goodbye to the Kumbaya.

They get a message; a space crystal has crashed into the house. It will change the course of events in the house this week. The first power is the Invisible HOH. No one will know unless the winner divulges. Since no one knows, the HOH will be able to play in the next HOH comp.

Leave it to America to mention no HOH wine. Jag, Cory and America agree to tell each other if they win. But Jag tells us he thinks otherwise -- it may be the week to go after Cory and America. Cirie and Felicia think they are both probably safe. They think bigger targets will be targeted.

Cirie really wants to win this one. Um, okay. She doesn't know how physical the comp ahead will be.

To the comp! Felicia is up first. It is the traditional zipline comp. The times will be announced but only the winner will know he or she won. Matt up next. His time not said. Blue up next. No time said. Cory up next. Then to commercial. So far only Felicia's time was announced. I listed it below.

Cirie's turn. She is having a rough time of it. Jag's turn. America is up next. Commercial time again.

Felicia -18:40

Everyone was told their times during the comp but we weren't. The winning time was 8:30. Immediately after, no one is admitting it. Blue tells America she got 15:24. America doesn't believe her. Cirie thinks it's Jag or Matt. Felicia thinks either them or Cory.

Bowie is also suspicious of Blue. Matt enters the room with Blue and Bowie Jane. He tells them he thinks it might be him and Jag going up on the block.

Jag and Cory are suspicious of Blue, too. Matt, too. Heck, no one is even telling us on the show! Ah, finally Jag tells us and Matt! Jag is the HOH. He tells Jag that if he puts up Blue and someone else, then tell America/Cory they will be loyal to him. He can play in the HOH comp next week because he's "invisible." He thinks if he breaks them up, then the only targets will be himself and Matt.

He tells America/Cory about it. They are a bit leery because he kept it secret overnight. He tells us his only choices are Felicia, Blue and Cirie. Hey ... what about Bowie Jane, I say?

Time for the nomination ceremony. They sit in the kitchen with a voice over the PA system. Nominated are Felicia and Blue. Felicia is tired of being on the block, even if a pawn. She thinks the invisible HOH had such a chance to make a big move. Blue thinks the HOH is either Cory or America.

BB25: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - Oct. 15

Jag tells Cirie the plan.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lines Will Be Drawn:

  • Remember ... there were two veto comps with two individual veto winners.
  • Blue and Felicia are on the block with Jag being not so invisible HOH winner. 
  • Blue is Jag's target.
  • Blue, Cirie, Felicia and Bowie Jane do not know Jag won HOH.
  • Blue is CERTAIN that either America or Cory won it. After all, she has undying loyalty to Matt and Jag.
  • She went to Matt and Jag (and Cirie and Felicia) throwing Cory/America under that good old reality bus, telling them all that C/A have been saying about them.
  • In effect, she probably blew up her own game.
  • Both Cirie and Felicia think it might be Jag who won HOH but aren't certain.
  • Matt/Jag are working with Cory/America. Don't ask me why.
  • Back to the veto stuff! ALL houseguests played in the first veto comp. 
  • I'm not sure how they handled who would play in the second comp.
  • The first comp had them spinning. Blue won the first one.
  • I'm not sure of the second comp but I know Jag won it.
  • In the first comp it sounds like the first two out got punishments.
  • Who were the first two out? Why, Cirie and Felicia, of course. The physical comps really don't favor older players!
  • Felicia got 24 hours isolation, confined to the Comic Room with a portable toilet covered in a blue tarp. She can eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 
  • Keep in mind that the same sort of isolation punishment set Dan Gheesling's famous funeral speech in motion!
  • Cirie has to wear her superhero suit and, on command, roll the length of the backyard and back.
  • It sounds like (or they think) that the first veto winner will use (or not) the veto first, then the second veto winner.
  • So, Blue will first use her veto to save herself, leaving Felicia on the block.
  • Whatever will Jag do next?
  • Matt is adamant that Cirie cannot/should not go on the block.
  • Jag agrees.
  • What to do? What to do?
  • Neither Jag nor Matt is keen on leaving Felicia on the block.
  • Hmm.
  • After much consideration, Jag finally makes the right decision.
  • Break up the showmance -- get Cory and America on the block together.
  • He tells Cirie that he won HOH and that America/Cory poisoned him against Blue, his original target in the nominations.
  • He tells her the plan was never to send Felicia out the door.
  • Later on, Matt confirms it with Cirie.
  • Then it's the tricky part ... telling Blue.
  • He once again blamed Cory and America for turning him against her with lies and admitted he was the HOH.
  • Now, if all goes down as planned, at tomorrow's veto meeting, it will be America and Cory on the block.
  • They know that Jag is HOH.
  • The target is Cory.
  • He (finally) said he doesn't care. He will get the "blood on his hands."
  • As a side note, the Tuesday episode will 45 minutes instead of a half-hour.
  • Laters!

Blue feels vindicated.

Felicia's isolation room with porta-potty.

Jag lets his hair down and makes a move.

This should be over by Thursday! Yay!

Drop and roll Super Cirie!
