BB25: Live Feeds, HOH Winner - Oct. 20

 

My gun is ready!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Rinse and Repeat:

  • The live feeds were blocked for the HOH comp and didn't return until after the West Coast aired the live show.
  • We have a winner!
  • Oh. Jag again.
  • As he was the "invisible" HOH last week, he could play again for HOH this week to maintain that invisibility.
  • It doesn't matter that he told everyone and that even Cory made a joke about it on the live show.
  • He can still play and win.
  • So he did.
  • He claims that his only choices are to put either America and Blue on the block or Blue and Felicia?
  • He said he wants to work with America?
  • He wants Blue out?
  • I have no words.
  • Laters!

I should have won!

What? Again? Weren't you already gone?

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

He's MY target but I'm not his?

BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 19

 

We were dangling on a cliffhanger in the veto show. Who will be the renoms? After all, Blue will save herself and Jag told Felicia he would take her off the block. Oh, the suspense! (Shh ... live feed watchers. I know we already know but it's a secret until it airs!)

Tonight's show is delayed due to the President's address. While I expect it to start at 9:20PM ET, that may not be the case.

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
Jag - Barbara W, Jackie, Donna in Alabama, Mary C
Blue - monty924, Judi Sweeney, Jennifer, Don

JURY - Cameron

Hamster watchers ready?

Previously on ... and on.

Julie's outfit tonight

 Finally ... Day 79. The houseguests are in the living room with Felicia and Blue in the nominee seats. Time for the veto meeting. Jag is the invisible HOH. Whoops. Cirie has to glide around the house and wave to her adoring fans. Blue runs the veto meeting.  She goes first and saves herself. She sits. The HOH narrator voice puts America in as Blue's replacement.

Jag saves Felicia with his veto. The mysterious voice puts Cory on the block with America. Keep in mind that we know Cory/America know that Jag is the invisible HOH because he told them. America cries. Cory understands.

America vows to go off on Jag and cries some more. Cory already sort of begins to campaign. He had only told America he would target Matt/Jag. America lies saying that they were not targeting them. Blue had told her.

Cirie is happy with the war between the duos started. She's ready to sit back with her popcorn and watch.

America is in bed with Cory, saying she knows she shouldn't just isolate herself. She knows it's her mouth that got them in trouble. Cory tries to give her advice. He doesn't want her to ruin her game. He doesn't want to go Scorched Earth on them; she does.

America turns to Blue for answers. She's hurt and betrayed. She tells Blue that Matt/Jag won't take her to the three. Blue tells her she was fighting for her life, brings up Jared.

Cirie must find a hiding place in the house and scare another houseguest. She scares Blue. Then has to stay in the pool for two hours. 100 laps in the backyard. Rescue a houseguest from their bad dream.

Cory talks to Blue. He talks about Jag putting Blue up as a target. If he stays and wins HOH, he will target Matt/Jag. In turn, Matt/Jag will target him the next week. Cory goes around pitching to all. The editing makes it look like Cory has a chance to stay. Cirie talks to Blue, then Felicia, about keeping him to fight Matt/Jag.

To the living room: BB Comic Week is over as is Cirie's punishment.

Cory: Misses Stevie, most incredible experience, thank you, must blow up one person's game (jokingly does)
America: Shout outs, OK, will go after the dumb blond and. Thanks Cory.

The votes to evict:
Matt - Cory
Bowie Jane - Cory
Jag - Cannot vote
Cirie - Cory
Felicia - Cory
Blue - Cory

Unanimous and expected. Cory goes to spend the week alone with Cameron. He expected it and hugs all. He thinks that nominating him was a smart move. He gets decent goodbye messages except from Blue.

Julie tells us it's Scaryverse's Johnny Mack Terror Dentist. Thursday is a second double eviction.

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Oct. 19

 

Facing the tragedy due to befall them.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bad Romances:
  • Well, Cory TRIED to make it a Waffle Wednesday, but it seems to no avail.
  • In his campaigning, he told different people different things almost as if he has forgotten they compare notes and retell everything.
  • He even put on his finale suit, walked around claiming to be an attorney needing three clients (votes).
  • Despite all of his endeavors to stay, it sounds like he has now totally given up.
  • He had a long camera talk with us.
  • He's tired. He's an introvert playing an extrovert's game. He's ready to go to jury.
  • He thinks Matt is playing the best game in the house.
  • Of course, America thinks it's all her fault that Cory is likely to go.
  • Well, yeah.
  • I do think the showmance put the spotlight on him.
  • America told him she wouldn't be putting up either Cirie or Felicia if she wins HOH.
  • Cory told her that it would be best to get Matt out before Jag.
  • America talked to Jag and apologized for her expletive thrown at him on Monday.
  • No, they aren't besties, nor will they be.
  • They each remain each other's biggest targets.
  • In other news, Bowie Jean got all upset hearing her name mentioned as a possible pawn.
  • You KNOW how Felicia reacted hearing that news.
  • She sat on the block five times, y'know.
  • Both Felicia and Cirie are not having it!
  • America and Cory sat around together for a good part of the day, refusing to join in with the rest of the house.
  • The rest of the house was once again who said what to whom, who I will target when I'm HOH and ad nauseum.
  • Cory should be evicted tonight, probably another unanimous vote.
  • Tonight's show is supposed to start at 9:15PM ET.
  • Laters!

Thinks he's a mastermind?

Not the comp beast people think he is.

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

Dynamic duo?

The Amazing Race 35: The Day Keeps Rockin' Here in Vietnam - Ep. 4 - 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!

You can check out photos and names of the teams on this post I made a while back.

Since the teams are on a continuation of the Vietnam leg, SueGee had a week off from updating this blog pool!

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

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!

After the Previously On, they travel by cab where a barista serves coffee and the next clue.

That clue is a Detour. Stand or Deliver. Inland fishery properly display seafood, their stall must match the vendors. Deliver has them delivering four mattresses (66 pounds each) and deliver to a motel.

Stand detour

Steve and Anna Leigh are rushing through the Stand, other teams are having problems with the weight of the mattresses as well as directions. Teams are working together now at mattresses and over at Stand, Anna Leigh is freaking out about live eels.

Anna Leigh and Steve make it through the Detour first. The clue directs them to a pagoda to make a wish. Joel/Garrett finish the mattresses.

Anna Leigh/Steve at the pagoda for the wish card. They wish they are number one for the day. The clue they get tells them to travel by taxi for the next clue. Aw, Garrett/Joel find notes from home as they are at the wish card.

Rob/Corey and Ashlie/Todd finish the Delivery.

Roadblock - Who wants to play matchmaker? They are at a temple. Thousands of red tiles on the stairs, only 11 of one kind. Must find one of them going around with a picture.

Morgan/Elena and Chelsea/Robbin finish the fish.

Phil and the mat are waiting in the temple with the Roadblock. More teams are arriving for the Roadblock. It turns out their clue photos differ. Anna Leigh has an issue with Chelsea as she won't work with her. 

Pit Stop Order:
1. Chelsea/Robbin - win trip for two to Madrid, Spain.
2. Steve/Anna Leigh
3. Todd/Ashlie
4. Joe/Ian
5. Rob/Corey
6. Liam/Yeremi
7. Malaina/Andrea
8. Greg/John
9. Joel/Garrett
10. Morgan/Lena
11. Jocelyn/Victor - Philiminated. Aw, I liked them.

I will be live blogging the show the best I can. Keep in mind that these castaways are still kind of 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!

Survivor fans ready?

Sitting out the previously on segment. Sabiyah got the boot again.

Lulu - Night 7. The lonely three return from Tribal. Kaleb is appreciative. However, Sean was blindsided. He feels at the bottom. He certainly is with his other two tribe members.

They're going to meet up with Jeff already. Jeff says it's the most shock he's seen when they saw that Sabiyah had been voted out. They knew she was a real strong player.

"Drop your buffs. We are switching tribes."

Day 8. Say goodbye to your old buffs. Jeff passes around to all with a tray of wrapped buffs. I probably won't be able to get all the new tribes in live. But I'll do what I can. Nope, not happening. I will add to this post later tonight. Each of the Lulu ended up on separate tribes.

The new tribes

Day 8 Lulu - Bruce is not a happy dude. He has a breakdown of a sort as he's in the same place he was when he was medivac exited. Kaleb is on the tribe, Jake, too. Katurah is digging for information about the trip three took. It turns out that Jake had wanted to work with Kaleb before. It's not a full-fledged trust yet, but ...!

Day 8 Belo - Brando, Austin, Drew, Emily and one more. Emily is taking a quieter approach. Emily shares the melting idol Sabiyah bit with them. Drew thinks she's kind of normal. 

Day 8 Reba - Sean is thrilled to be with them and he has stories to tell. He is in with four original Reba members. Sifu, Julie, J Maya, Dee. J Maya goes off with Sean. The others decide to search his bag for an idol. They find nothing. J Maya tells Sean that they think Sifu might have an idol and is a blindside choice. Julie thinks Sean should be out first, but J Maya tries to convince them to keep Sean.

Belo Day 9 - Emily is worried about her spot in the tribe. Austin and Drew talk. They have an idol, good will advantage and a vote advantage. Austin doesn't want Emily voted off first. He wants her on their side. She is the swing vote, so popular. Drew hopes to work with Julie, Dee, Austin and Emily after the merge.

Lulu - Kellie feels okay with her new tribe. Bruce tells her she is his number one. They want to pull Kaleb in with them. Katurah is suspicious. She gets Kaleb only mainly so she can tell him how dangerous Bruce is. She is really annoyed by Bruce. Kaleb is eating up the intel. Now he must decide which trail to take.

Day 9 Immunity Challenge time! Swim to cage, climb, leap in, haul heavy cage back, dig one person out of cage, first tribe with three balls in their three baskets wins. Lulu in the lead.

LULU wins Immunity (and gets flint for the first time). BELO wins 2nd place! Reba will go to Tribal Council.

Lulu is hugging and celebrating. Kaleb is thrilled. Bruce tries to trick them that he lost the flint, but he didn't. He's glad he's not Sean.

On Reba, Sean is crushed that they lost. He's deflated. He talks to Sifu. He tells him he is loyal. Sifu tells us he thinks they have to be Reba Strong. He thinks if Sean stays, the target will shift to him. Meanwhile, the women talk. J Maya is still pushing for a Sifu exit. Dee agrees. Julie is hesitant to lose someone so strong right now. She hates the idea.

The women talk to Sean about blindsiding Sifu. They will tell Sifu that they are voting out Sean. Sifu is worried that he might be being played. They head off to Tribal. Sean has been to every Tribal Council so far this season.

Tribal Council Night 9. Jeff brings up the four of them on the tribe. (The women warned Sean they would talk Reba Strong.) Jeff points out that Sean would be an easy vote. Julie thinks Sean tried but they have family. Sean tries to plead his case. Sifu says he feels Sean has positive energy. Sean tells Jeff he has experiences a ton of failure, but failure helps one grow. He tells the tale of growing up Mormon (he's gay) and Survivor has helped him regain his lost time. Uh-oh. He says his dream is at home and asks them to write his name down. He wants to be with his husband.

Time to vote.

The tally: Sifu, Sean, Dee, Sean, Sean.

He gets his wish.
