BB25: Live Feeds Power of Veto Winner - Nov. 3

 

And Bowie Jane keeps on smiling.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Miserable Mice:
  • Well, the Three included Felicia in a game of cards.
  • They may have been told to do it.
  • I have seen more Diary Room intervention this season than others.
  • I recall Matt saying that the DR told him that the live feeders and viewers thought that tooth flossing thing was disgusting and I haven't seen one since.
  • So, with the live feeders aware of how the Three planned to treat Felicia going into the POV comp, I wouldn't be surprised if they squashed it.
  • They already made her look the villain in the last episode.
  • Anyway ... the Power of Veto comp took place today.
  • This is the most important comp of the season as the POV is the sole vote to take out the fourth player and get it down to the final three.
  • Matt and Felicia are on the block.
  • Oh.
  • And Jag won veto.
  • In other years I would be thrilled to have my random blog pool pick do so well.
  • And I did like him at the beginning.
  • But he changed with the comp wins.
  • He even said he has carried Matt through the game when there would be no Jag in the game at this time had Matt not brought him back from the unanimous eviction!
  • Argh.

Hopefully reading Matthew 5:38-48, King James Version

Of course.

BB25: Live Feeds into Friday, Nominations - Nov. 3

 

And Bowie Jane kept on smiling.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Alienate the Elder:

  • Unlike most weeks, the live feeds came back on not all that long after the show on the East Coast aired.
  • Poor Felicia was out in the kitchen getting together a big meal of fried chicken and mac and cheese for dinner ... for them.
  • Where were they?
  • In a room trying to decide who would go on the block with Felicia.
  • After all, the screen in the living room said "Nominations Today." 
  • That's meaning like today, like middle of the night.
  • Felicia told Matt that if he goes on the block and Jag wins veto, Jag will take him out.
  • The Three played a numbers guessing game to determine Matt would go on the block with Felicia.
  • Of course, the veto winner has all the power this week and will send one out the door.
  • The feeds were blocked for nominations.
  • Yep, Matt and Felicia on the block.
  • Power of Veto should be played later today.
  • They were told of the Sunday eviction.
  • That's about it!

Nominations Today (as in last night!)

Who will we put on the block with Felicia?

Still making dinner for them?!?!

BB25: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Nov. 2

 

Good evening! Tonight, either Cirie or Felicia will get the boot. Just having the both of them on the show this season has been a joy for me. I just wish that production had geared the comps a bit away from the ones 20-something year old comp beasts can just stomp through. After all, the game is ALSO a social game!

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
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

JURY
Cameron
Cory
Blue
America

Hamster watchers ready?

Julie's outfit tonight

Skipping out on the Previously On. Yeah, we know Jag wants Cirie out and Matt's HOH is Jag's, so ...

Day 93. Julie tells us of the final three alliance of Matt, Jag and Bowie Jane with them telling both Cirie and Felicia are the pawns.

We pick up the action after the Veto Meeting. Jag needs to get Matt on board with his plan to evict Cirie. Sure, Cirie is better for Jag's game. But Cirie staying is better for Matt's game. Of course, Matt doesn't have a vote this week. Bowie Jane joins them and agrees with Jag that they need to evict Cirie this week, Felicia next week. Jag thinks they should tell both of them they are good, then blindside Cirie.

Cirie talks to Bowie Jane who does promise her her vote. Yeah, vote to evict. Cirie feels uneasy and nervous.

They both look very nice tonight.

But first ... a visit to the jury house. Cory meets up with Cameron. All is friendly enough. Blue arrives. Then America arrives. She blames Jag for her exit. Cameron is surprised that Bowie Jane has won two HOH comps. Cory would like Matt to win.

We will find out how to vote for AFP tonight. But not yet!

Potential cracks in the Minutemen alliance? Hmm. Felicia thinks that Jag is lowkey insulting Matt regarding his Olympic status. Felicia tells him that they're insulting him, both Bowie Jane and Jag. He can't hear it. Aw. Jag knows something is bothering Matt. He talks to him and Matt tells him what Felicia said. Jag denies it. Jag is upset. He tells us that they could vote Felicia out.

Bowie Jane, Matt and Jag meet up in the HOH room. Is Felicia crossing the line? But now even Jag is saying that maybe she misinterpreted something. He still thinks Cirie should go. But now Matt is saying Felicia should go. (I call it editing!)

To the living room ...
Cirie: Shout outs. Thank you for 93 amazing but crazy days.
Felicia: Shout outs. It's been fun. Mustard seed faith.

The votes to evict:
Jag - Cirie
Bowie Jane - Cirie

Cirie is gone. It's been great having her on this season! She hugs them all and is gracious. The final four hug after she leaves. Goodbye messages -- Felicia loves her, Matt will miss her, love. Bowie Jane - a pure game move. Jag -- convinced Matt to target her.

HoH comp time!  ChenBot comic. Will show two pages, ask questions, show two more, ask more ... seven questions total.



1. Jag gets one point.
2. All get a point
3. Bowie Jane gets a point
4. Jag/Felicia get a point
5. Jag/Bowie Jane get a point
6. Bowie Jane gets a point
7. Jag/Bowie Jane get a point

Tiebreaker - In seconds how long was Trick or Treat luxury comp? Bowie says 1690, Jag 1500. 

BOWIE JANE wins HOH!

AFP - 50 grand ... cbs.com/bbvote

BB25: Live Feeds into Thursday - Nov. 2

 

Felicia vacuums while Jag eats a banana.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Final Whatevers:

  • Nothing much has changed since my last update.
  • Cirie knows that Jag has promised both her and Felicia his vote.
  • She feels she is likely to go.
  • Cirie told Felicia if she makes it to the final two, she will give her her vote and rally the jury to do the same. 
  • Both women packed their bags.
  • Since Felicia has been packing every week for well over a month, hers was easier.
  • Cirie pointed out to Matt that Jag wants her out because she's close to Matt and, inevitably, it's a sign that Jag will soon target Matt himself once he no longer has anyone in his corner.
  • While she is certainly no comp beast, Cirie has played the social game to the hilt. She observes. She listens.
  • I think it's time the comp beasts stopped ruling over BB. 
  • This season was a delight in so many hamsters over 40. However, the comps didn't change -- many were still geared for 20-somethings.
  • The twists this season could sink or swim ... oh, they sunk for sure.
  • Jared. No, he was not an asset to Cirie in the game. He was pretty much the opposite.
  • The horrible Zombie Week -- worst and most boring EVER in BB history.
  • Even going ahead and holding eviction of another player the week Luke got the boot. Had Kirsten stayed, things might have been different -- at least you wouldn't have so many returning players!
  • Oh, well.
  • Tonight we should see Cirie go.
  • Sigh.


Cirie packs her bag.

I'm not cooking for them!

Sure she will make final two.

Worried Jag will go to final two with Bowie Jane

The Amazing Race 35: Driving Head-On Into Scooters - Ep. 6 Blog Party

 

Tonight we will see what happens with the mandatory blind vote U-Turn. Eep!

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 once again 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
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 out Previously On ... of course.

The teams seem to be all over the map choosing teams for the mandatory U-Turn. They vote before heading out.

They have to go to a shoe store #32 and get their next clue. Hawa Mahal is where it is. Most Instagrammed building in India. Look into the windows with a telescoping monocular to look into the windows for the next clue. Steve and Anna Leigh get the clue. They have to travel on foot there.

Once there, they get a clue to choose an electric rickshaw driven by women. They have to help get it out of a jammed parking lot first.

They head to the Detour with the rickshaw, the votes are in. One team will have to do both tasks on the Detour. Anna Leigh and Steve see themselves on the U-Turn.

Detour - Bundles or Bricks. Decorative flowers bundle up variety of flowers, pack up in rickshaw, deliver two places, get receipts. Bricks have to pick up bricks, sand and gravel and get delivery receipt.

Greg and John are in 2nd place at the Detour. But, technically first place as Steve and Anna Leigh are U-Turned. Anna Leigh/Steve finish up the Bundles Detour quickly and are headed to the next one. Meanwhile other teams are still arriving at the monocular clue.

Uh-oh. Steve and Anna Leigh didn't hand in their Bundle receipts and have to go back to do it. 

Greg/John finish the Detour first and get their clue. Then Ashlie/Todd. The brothers Yeremi and Liam are lost.

Greg/John travel by rickshaw, pick a bolt of fabric and a clue. Rob/Corey are in 2nd place. Greg/John - Jaipur Mahal by rickshaw to get next clue.

Roadblock - Who likes to play with blocks? Must print nine peacocks with blocks. Greg/John finish first and must race to the Pit Stop.

Anna Leigh and Steve found out some of the teams who U-Turned them as they are at the Roadblock.

Pit Stop Order:
1. Greg/John - Also won trip for two to New Zealand
2. Rob/Corey
3. Joel/Garrett
4. Morgan/Lena
5. Todd/Ashlie
6. Malaina/Andrea
7. Steve/Anna Leigh
8. Robbin/Chelsea
9. Yeremi/Liam -- Last place, Philiminated
