About time Matt won an HOH!

BB25: Live Double Eviction Show Blog Party - Oct. 26

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Blue or America will get the boot! Then we have the whirlwind of an entire week done in a night with a Head of Household comp, a veto comp and then two more will be on the block and one of them will get the boot! (And I'm not talking the Have Not Room door boot!)

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:

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
Cory

Hamster watchers ready?

14 days left in the house.

Julie's outfit for the double eviction

Sitting through the Previously on and all the I must win bits.

Cirie would like to see Blue to stay as she doubts Blue would ever target her. She proposes a split vote to Felicia. Fe does not agree and thinks that Cirie is doing it for jury votes. Felicia wakes up Jag in the HOH room. She thinks Jag must start thinking of her for the final two -- then she throws both Matt and Cirie under the bus, telling Jag they were talking about when to take him out.

Jag is all confused as to whether it's the truth or not. Now, Cirie did tell Felicia in confidence that Matt said at some point Jag would have to go. Matt and Cirie are talking about it but not with Felicia. Cirie doesn't want to wait until the final four like Matt wants.

To the living room. Julie tells them about the double. And Bowie Jane smiled.
America - Shout outs, jokes about Jag being a menace. She will set them free from Jag's evil wrath.
Blue - Shout outs in Korean and English, loves all, I'm Kitty Kitty Purr. 

Blue is all dressed up, America is in comp clothes. Hmm.

The votes to evict:
Matt - Blue
Bowie Jane - Blue
Cirie - Blue
Felicia - Blue

Bye-bye Blue. She was not surprised. Another blindside not a blindside, par for the course this season. Julie mentions she was told just before the show. She feels betrayed by Jag and Matt.

HOH Comp time. In booths in the backyard. Jag cannot play. ScrambleVerse, three franchises dominate. Triple Feature. Seven rounds. Shown three BB movie posters, question about poster. A, B or C answers.
1. All wrong
2. Felicia wrong
3. Cirie ONLY one right
4. Cirie and Bowie Jane get points
5. Matt and Felicia get a point
6. Matt and Bowie Jane get a point
7. Only Cirie doesn't get a point.

Tiebreaker between Matt and Bowie Jane.
In seconds, superhero training academy part one last.
Matt 10,000 BJ 5400
Bowie Jane is HOH!

To the living room. Bowie Jane nominates Felicia and America.

Veto comp time!
Making candy cola.


It's a bit like clown shoe, must get four candies on pole

MATT WINS THE POWER OF VETO!

America begs him to save her. Felicia comes in, they hug. Jag comes in. Bowie comes in Cirie comes in. Looks like he will probably leave the noms the same. But we will see.

To the living room. Matt does NOT use the veto. America and Felicia remain on the block.

America - Now she is nervous, apologizes to Jag for her joke speech.
Felicia - Trusting and believing, mustard seed will carry me further.

The votes to evict:
Cirie - America 
Jag - America
Matt- America 

Unanimous, America goes on to jury. Tears but hugs. The final five go crazy celebrating. She composes herself pretty well for the Julie interview.

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Oct. 26

 

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wasted Wisdom:

  • The plan remains the same -- Blue should be evicted tonight.
  • The only question is whether it will be unanimous or 3-1 vote.
  • Oh, wait. 
  • There is another question ... should they tell Blue this morning, just before the live show or ...?
  • They are expecting a double eviction tonight.
  • No, production did not tell them.
  • They just know with the numbers and the finale date one must be done and there is never a double cutting into the final four.
  • Felicia's antics as of late have now put a target on her back for eviction in the double.
  • That is, if no one can get Jag.
  • Although Jag might suspect that he will be targeted, just about everyone (including Matt) know he has to get the boot at the first opportunity they have.
  • Otherwise, if he gets to the end, with all the comp wins, he will stand a good chance of winning it all.
  • Of course, that decision would be made on comp wins when his strategy and people skills are lacking.
  • But this crowd seems to only think comps.
  • We know if America, who is on the target list for the second eviction tonight, wins HOH, she will put Matt and Jag on the block.
  • I guess we play a game of wait and see.
  • Laters!

He should be very worried.

Her actions have now put a target on her back.

Should they tell her? 

Will go with the house vote.

The Amazing Race 35: Yessir, the Pink City - Ep. 5 - Blog Party

 


I will be live-blogging and updating this post constantly as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real blog party is in the comments. I hope to see you there!

Lifeguard SueGee has graciously updated the blog pool and here's where we stand going into tonight's show:

Ashlie & Todd -- Dr Celine, NanaintheNW, SueGee
Greg & John -- Brent McKee, Jackie, Judi Sweeney
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!

Skipping through the Previously On segment.

Robbin and Chelsea are the first to get the clue to fly to India. They are going to a city nicknamed the Pink City, Jaipur. All teams are on the same flight.

Once in Jaipur, the teams all race to marked taxis to head to the Amber Palace. Pick up a bundle of sugar cane, carry it up to somewhere to get the next clue. Since they were at a bunching point, anyone can get ahead on this one.

At the palace there is a walking band and elephant in costume, as well as painted. (That would never fly here.) Teams arrive and get their bundles of cane. 

Roadblock - Who is feeling balanced? Pots of water balanced on head following a choreographed routine.


That's my blog pool random pick team in last place! Wah! All the teams are having trouble with this one. Anna Leigh made it through! Greg and John moved up to second place!


Teams will have a Detour decision ahead of them at a place with all kinds of small staircases leading to the water. The stairs look like an Escher etching!

ACK CBS NEW SPECIAL REPORT! Mass shooter in Lewiston Maine. Maybe more than 20 killed.

Greg/John are working with Morgan/Lena to get to the Detour clue.

Detour - Puppet All Dolled Up, make two puppets and make them dance. The Big Picture, wear costumes and imitate art in a mural or large painting. Uh-oh. Corey and Rob are the only ones left at the Roadblock!

Most of the teams seem to be choosing to do the Big Picture. Corey FINALLY made it through the Roadblock! At the puppet station there are camels all dressed up like they did to the elephants. Some of the bulls/cows they passed on their way there looked malnourished. You can tell they are no longer in Kansas!

Anna Leigh and Steve get through Puppet Theater first, taking their rickshaw to the next Pit Stop. Greg/John get through the Big Picture and are on their way. Uh-oh, the sisters change tasks after being at Big Picture for two hours.

Pit Stop Order:
1. Anna Leigh/Steve - Won $3,000 each
Phil warns them that there is a Mandatory U-Turn vote ahead.
2. Greg/John
3. Joel/Garrett
4. Andrea/Malaina
5. Todd/Ashlie
6. Corey/Rob
7. Robbin/Chelsea
8. Liam/Yeremi
9. Lena/Morgan
10. Joe/Ian -- Philiminated 

Out of the blog pool -- Cookie Jar, Michelle, Pearl

Survivor 45: I Don't Want to Be the Worm - Ep. 5 - Blog Party

 


Good evening! Let's see if the new Lulu tribe is just as cursed as the old one was. They seem to be heading a better direction winning Immunity and getting flint after nine days without it.

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. I may have issues with some of the names as there are some we've rarely seen. 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 with the tribe switches. Here's where we stand:

Belo – Blue Tribe – Fijian word for Heron

Brando --- Jasonuwp, Marthalight, MikesGirl
Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC
Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie
Austin --- Pearl, Nora M, Sharon N
Drew --- Dr Celine, monty924

Lulu – Yellow Tribe – Fijian word for Owl

Bruce --- Krysta, Skyriverblue
Katurah --- Donna NY, April W
Kellie --- Michelle, Bizaro22
Jake --- Donna in FL, TS14Fan
Kaleb --- CherylNY, Cookie Jar

Reba – Red Tribe – Fijian word for Goshawk

Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee
Maya (J) --- Petals, Glenn Allen, Nickelpeed
Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready?

Keeping in with my way of doing things, I'm sitting through the Previously On segment.

We pick up with Reba returning from Tribal. Sifu comments about his name coming up in the vote. Dee agreed she was surprised to see hers name. Dee, of course, was the vote for Sifu. She thought others would vote for him, too. Sean told Sifu he didn't vote for him on his way out. Julie is shocked. Now Sifu knows that someone is lying about writing Sean. He's suspicious but can't figure who wrote his name.

Belo Day 10. They have no food, no energy. Emily spots a worm. Kendra picks it up. The others encourage her to eat the worm. She does. Kind of, sort of. It doesn't stay down. The others talk about Kendra's energy.

Lulu Day 10. Jake and Bruce start to head out. Uh-oh. Jake collapses. It's the second time he's done that. Jake weighed 287 before going into Survivor. It took him two years to lose the weight. Kellie says his blood pressure lowered before he collapsed. He vows to fight until the end of the game.

Lulu Day 10 - Kaleb and Jake go off looking for crabs. Katurah realizes she's all alone and goes off looking for an idol. She bumps into the rest. The knew she was idol searching. They think Katurah is all over the place. Kaleb tells Katurah he saw her looking for an idol and tried to stop her before the others saw her. He, like he did with Emily before, creates bonds with others. He wants that bond with Kellie. He told her that Sabiyah found the idol in that camp and they bond.

Reba Day 10 - The women are upset that Sean quit and that he told Sifu he didn't vote for him on the way out. We get Dee's backstory and she doesn't come from a family that quits. Sifu is stunned by his wake-up call vote. He has made a fake idol. He tells Dee that he has an idol. J thinks Sifu thinks she put his name down. She didn't.

Belo Day 10 - Brando and Drew talk Kendra. Brando didn't have a strong connection in tribe before. Brando/Drew really bond, nerding out so to say. Nerd alliance? Drew is not for that at the merge. Brando wants to solidify the bond with Kendra. Brando thinks Emily is in the best spot as she is between the two members of the other two tribes she is in with now. She has promised both sides she's in with them. Uh-oh.

Lulu Day 10 - Bruce's Brucisms are coming out. He does seem to be always on. Katurah is on alert about him. Katurah thinks Kaleb may be seeing the issues with Bruce. He is definitely coming off as bossy. Kaleb is doing his best to please him.

Reba Day 10 - J tells Julie she will say she voted out Sifu and he doesn't need to use his idol. They don't know it's fake. She is going to pretend that she's on the outs and was desperate. Dee is thinking it might be best to vote out J if they go to Tribal again. Julie is in a quandary about it.

Day 11 Immunity Challenge. Race massive three level obstacle course, collecting keys, once they get the keys sandbags, knock down targets. Also playing for massive 10 fresh fish and cooking stuff, second half that prize.


REBA wins 1st Place Immunity! Lulu wins 2nd Place!

Belo will go to Tribal Council for the first time this season.

A twist - one person from each tribe to go on a journey. They will be back in time for Tribal. Reba, J goes. From Lulu, Kellie. Belo, Austin. The other tribes pick.

Once again, Emily is going to Tribal Council. Is that every single one this season? Hmm.

Belo is in pre-Tribal woe phase. Or will they scramble? Kendra is worried. She wants Emily on their side. She brings up Drew as he is so tall and thin. Brand offers to give Drew his shot in the dark to not write his name down. Let it be Kendra? Drew thinks he's being played. Emily and Drew talk. What? Vote out Kendra? Emily thought Brando and Kendra were together. Emily thinks Drew is lying to her. Kendra trusts that Brando and Emily will vote out Drew with her tonight.

Meanwhile, the journey. Kellie feels odd man out with two original Reba members. They have to hike to the top of a mountain. Ohh ... they find sandwiches at the top. They can choose sustenance or strategy. Food or an amulet which need to be played with all the amulets in the game. Austin wants the sandwich. J wants the amulet. If only one amulet remains in the game, it's like an idol. If two or three, steal a vote and extra vote.

Day 11. Still at the mountain. Austin is SO hungry! He relents and they will work together with the amulets. He wants to turn his amulet into an idol.

Belo Day 11 - Emily talks to Drew about the voting out of Kendra. She asks him if he's the one who started that. She tells him that she doesn't know who to trust. Austin lies to them, telling them they had sandwich or carry coconuts and they failed the task. He shows Drew the real truth on paper. Both Drew and Austin have advantages but they need to get Emily's trust. Austin shows Emily what he has. Drew or Brando? Which will get her vote to go?

Night 11 - Tribal Council. It's Belo's first time there. 


They get Jeff's Probsting questions about being there. Drew seems a bit into embellishments. Is Emily in the middle? Yep.

Time to vote. Austin sacrifices his vote to extend the life of his idol, but then restores the vote with his other advantage.

The tally: Drew, Brando, Drew, Brando, Brando ... Kendra is shocked. Emily apologizes to her. Drew and Austin briefly touch hands with Emily.

Next week is the merge?!?!
