BB25: Live Feeds Into Sunday - Oct. 29

 

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Comp Winners Only Need Apply:

  • Just a personal opinion here -- I was so happy to see a better mix of ages with the hamsters this season. I've never been one for showmances and the whole cast being models and bartenders. Putting the Cirie twist aside, if you are going to have folks 50 and older in the cast, preferably more than two or three, the playing field for comps needs to be adjusted a bit, too. Otherwise, the younger more able "comp beasts" will just plow their way to the end. BB is a social strategy game, too. Make that count just as much!
  • Okay, off my soapbox.
  • I shouldn't complain as my blog pool random pick is Jag this season. Unless either Matt or Bowie Jane gather the nerve to get him, he will plow his way to the win. It would be the first time I ever won my own blog pool if that's the case.
  • Not all that much has changed over the last day.
  • Jag has managed to completely turn Matt against Cirie.
  • Of course, Matt can't vote anyway. So, it was always to be Jag's vote and Bowie Jane will do whatever Jag wants as he is in charge.
  • Jag is not being a nice guy about things.
  • He kept going on last night about the evils of Cirie rallying his troop of three.
  • He also plans to tell both Felicia and Cirie that they are safe (separately), then vote out Cirie.
  • I'm disappointed in how callous he has become. He was NOT that way earlier in the game.
  • They apparently had a luxury type comp during an extended feed break early yesterday evening -- Halloween related and Matt won money.
  • Felicia and Cirie are still cooking for the three!
  • Eek.
  • Now, Matt makes a mean scrambled egg. I don't recall ever seeing Bowie Jane cook and I've only seen Jag cook at the grill after the food is prepped by Felicia.
  • Instead of calling it cook's quits, Felicia is running around checking in with Jag and Matt all the time to see if she's good.
  • Heck, yes. She seems to be good going into Thursday as they are so focused on Jag's distrust of Cirie. 
  • But Felicia is next and I don't see that train stopping at the station.
  • That's all for now.
  • Laters!

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls ...

I'm surprised he's a follower rather than a leader.

STOP cooking for them!

So happy he's HOH ... wait, he's not HOH?

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday, Power of Veto - Oct. 28

 

Supposedly not the target this week.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Is This Ever Going To End?:

  • Nothing changed much in the overnight hours.
  • Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag are just about certain one of them will win the veto, keeping the noms the same.
  • Matt wants Felicia out rather than Cirie.
  • The other two agreed to that but they vote, Matt doesn't.
  • Jag would prefer Cirie out. 
  • Bowie Jane doesn't care, just as long as she isn't on the block. After all, her big goal was to have fun and make it to jury.
  • Felicia and Cirie harped about how Bowie Jane got to where she is by following the power each week.
  • As an observer, I will say she did that. I think she also threw just about every comp she played until recently. Even a recent win or two were just flukes as she tried to throw them.
  • Bowie Jane thinks that the ones who haven't won any comps have been lazy and selfish even if they have been trying.
  • Say what?
  • Jag, Matt and Bowie Jane have the votes so that, even if either Felicia or Cirie win veto, the remaining one on the block will go home.
  • Matt told Cirie that if she or Felicia come down he was thinking of backdooring Jag.
  • Oh my!
  • I doubt that he would have the nerve to do that.
  • Plus, unless it's a total crap shoot kind of comp, Felicia and Cirie probably won't win. The comps haven't really been too conducive for older players to win this season.
  • Right now, as I type this up, the feeds are blocked for the comp.
  • Once I find out who won, I will be posting.
  • Jag won veto.
  • Of course. They say Cirie did well.
  • For what that's worth.
Of course.


Bowie Jane took a rest from smiling.

Has the forlorn look down pat.

Who woulda thunk it?

BB25: Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - Oct. 27

 

I do NOT want to know what is in the pockets!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dastardly Deception:

  • Now, we all heard Matt take Cirie aside at the end of the live show. "You will never touch the block."
  • Tsk, tsk.
  • After the live feeds returned last night, when Matt was with Bowie Jane and Jag, he said he would probably have to put Felicia and Cirie on the block.
  • Oh, the fact Felicia would go up should go without saying.
  • Since we know he's too scared to put Jag up (which would be the smart game strategy move -- or at least consider a backdoor), he only has three to choose from.
  • Bowie Jane, Cirie and Felicia.
  • Neither Bowie Jane nor Cirie have been on the block.
  • Felicia has been on the block more often than not.
  • It's Jag who has more of a relationship with Bowie Jane than Matt.
  • It's Matt who has more of a relationship with Cirie than Jag.
  • Will Matt just acquiesce and do what Jag wants? Or will he think of his own game?
  • Matt's own game plan is that he thinks he can beat Cirie in a final two. 
  • No one thinks they can beat Jag in a final two. 
  • Well, maybe Felicia does but she carries old food around in her pockets. Nuff said!
  • In Matt's HOH room, his letter was from Reilly. Now he's in love again.
  • There was also a photo of his mother with Reilly.
  • Bowie Jane and Matt have talked about Jag having to go much as Cirie and Matt have talked about it.
  • If Jag were to go on the block (not likely), he is the Veto King this season. Even if he's not on the block, statistically he's most likely to win the veto.
  • Hmm.
  • If I were Matt, I would be tempted to put Bowie Jane and Felicia on the block, keeping my promise to Cirie. If those noms remained the same, chances are Felicia would get evicted.
  • But I'm not Matt. He seems like he will put Felicia and Cirie on the block. With them up, it's a toss-up but Cirie would probably be voted out.
  • He's been conspiring with Bowie Jane. Sigh.
  • Matt does want Felicia out instead of Cirie, but it's Bowie Jane and Jag voting.
  • I'm playing a waiting game for the nominations to be made.
  • Then I will post this.
  • The feeds returned to them all playing pool in the yard.
  • Hmm. The yard should probably be closing down for prep for tomorrow's POV comp.
  • No clue other than what we already know was supposed to go down for the noms.
  • Confirmed -- Cirie and Felicia are on the block.

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

Jag is happy for his Minutefriend.

Reilly loves me!

Bowie Jane will have no jury votes.


BB25: Live Feeds - New HOH Winner - Oct. 27

 

And Bowie Jane kept smiling.

The live feeds returned at past 1:30AM ET, well past the end of the west coast "live show" airing.

Matt is the new HOH. 

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.
