BB25: Season Nearing the End Clips Show Blog Party - Nov. 7

Good evening! Before we get started, I want to remind everyone that Thursday's live two-hour season finale begins an hour earlier than usual. The show will be from 8PM ET/PT to 10PM ET/PT.

Since tonight's show is the clips from over the season, I won't be live blogging quite like normal here. I will give commentary now and then, for sure. As always, the party is in the comments area where everyone can comment on the clips. I hope to see you there!

Just in case it isn't shown on the show, here are the family videos for the jury members --

 Despite clips show, we have a Previously On segment. Okay, Jag evicted Felicia again. Let's get on with the show. We will see HOH Part One and the videos from home. Yes, I will live blog that stuff.

They drink their champagne after celebrating final three and they get a feast complete with lobster tails, crab cakes and more. And we are into clips of Felicia asking Mr. B for groceries and other demands. So, the Three are now nicely reminiscing about Felicia. (Unlike they tend to do on a normal basis.)

Now Jag is saying how wild the house is. Matt brings up Red. So, we get Red clips. Then Matt brings up Cirie, cue Cirie clips. Matt must be the starter as he next brings up Hisam. Hisam clips!

Matt mentions great connections. Bowie Jane brings up Cory and America. We get showmance clips. Matt brings up that he misses Reilly. Jag says he's his bromance. We get Matt/Jag clips. Then into Reilly/Matt/Jag clips, back into the bromance.

Bowie Jane says it's like living with family there. We get a few clips of Jared/Cirie. Oops, Izzy Fields came along in the clips.

They're still at the table. It's 8:38PM. They won't have much time to air the video messages or HOH comp Part One. Now they are talking Mecole. Talking about the Diary Room and crying in there.

Now they're talking about house secrets and Cameron's Denzel Washington is Felicia's brother. C'mon, we have ten minutes left!

Finally, videos from home time. Jag's family first. His brother-in-law and sister. Bowie's parents. Matt's mother.

It looks like they will leave us on a cliffhanger with the Part One. Yep, the comp. Big balloon bags suspended, all the multiverses have collided. Ride the BB comic verse bubble. The other verses slam them around and get them messy. The last one on the bubble wins. We see the start.

BB25: Live Feeds HOH Part Two Winner - Nov. 7

 

Don't they even toast the English muffins?

As they have every morning, Matt's scrambled eggs, bacon and an English muffin. Now, I do like that breakfast. But every single day? They don't seem to know how to cook anything else. Hmm ... cereal?

The live feeds went down at about 12:30PM ET. They came back up at about 6:30PM ET.

JAG won Part Two. Part Three of the HOH comp will have Matt versus Jag on the live show Thursday.

BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday - Nov. 7

 

How do you cook raw chicken?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of The Trashtalking Three:

• I really don't have much to report.
• There were a couple really long feeds blocks with adoptable animals.
• Maybe they had the reminisce the season bit in one.
• They apparently did not get their videos from home or play Part Two of the HOH comp as not a word was mentioned about either.
• Well, other than Jag and Bowie Jane fussing that Matt won Part One.
• Jag is definitely regretting his choice to send Felicia packing instead of Matt.
• Most of the day was spent trashtalking the jury and pre-jury players.
• Matt seems fixated on the Cory/America showmance and thinks they will be jealous of him and Reilly. @@
• Bowie and Jag are glad the manipulators are all gone from the house. @@
• While they were fussing about food (no Felicia to cook for them!), I was thinking there had to be a good supply.
• I was right.
• They decided to make a chicken dish for dinner.
• That was after Matt made a late lunch of his One Dish Wonder -- scrambled eggs while Bowie Jane cooked bacon.
• I cringe every time I see Matt crack open eggs. He mushes them. I can't imagine how many little crunchy bits are in the scrambled eggs!
• Oh. The chicken is raw. Oh noes! What do we do with this? How will we know it's done?
• Now, I realize they can't Google recipes and such. But, at her real age -- not her BB age -- Bowie Jane should have some kind of basic kitchen knowledge! 
• I get the feeling that neither Matt nor Jag have ever moved away from Mom's home cooking.
• Still, mid-20s should have some kind of idea.
• I guess the juror's roundtable with Dr. Will was last night. Of course, that is taped so we don't see it on the live feeds.
• You'll notice that Bowie Jane is not wearing her winter parka. BB gave them space heaters a week or two ago and they finally have them working to their satisfaction.
• I'm thinking they will HAVE to have Part Two of the HOH comp today for editing purposes.
• Oh ... I posted in comments yesterday that I saw in a Felicia interview that her brother died the week she was on the block with Mecole. Production let her speak to her family and her family wanted her to continue on with the show. She told none of the others about it.
• That's about it!

Too busy talking trash to smile.

Matt and his one dish wonder.

BB25: Live Feeds, Part One HOH Winner - Nov. 6

 

Could he be regretting his decision?

Here's a quick update from inside that Big Brother House of What Have I Done?:

• The live feeds were down most of the night.
• When they returned, MATT won Part One of the three-part final HOH comp.
• It was an endurance in which they hung onto something and got wet and cold.
• Bowie Jane and Jag were talking about Matt holding on with just one hand at times.
• They both commented that Felicia would have fallen off soon after it started.
• I could be way off base, but the way they were talking reminds me a bit of the final HOH comp round that Evel Dick won against all odds. But that was all one-handed.
• Although they seem very confused, I'll set the record straight what happens from here.
• HOH Part Two will have Jag and Bowie Jane competing. As winner of Part One, Matt automatically advances to Part Three.
• It will be a taped comp, done probably within the next day or two.
• That one is usually a mental comp.
• HOH Part Three will have the winners of Part One and Part Two competing live on finale night.
• So, that would be Matt against the winner of Part Two -- either Jag or Bowie Jane.
• The winner of Part Three sends one person out the door and it's down to the final two.
• Then the jury votes between the two on the live finale.

Bowie Jane can't even smile.

No need to give stank face, you won it!

BB25: Power of Veto and Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Nov. 5

 

Welp, we're getting down to the wire here (finally). Tonight, the final four become the final three. Bowie Jane won HOH. It's likely she will nominate Felicia and Matt.

Although the eviction itself is live, we will have a whole bunch of previously taped material in the show. All four hamsters play for veto. That comp was indeed taped. However, the veto meeting will be live on the show tonight.    

The winner of the veto comp has all the power this week as he or she will be the sole vote to evict. If either Matt or Felicia win the veto, they would take themself down and Jag would be the only one who could go up. Then the veto winner would vote to evict. If Jag wins veto, he cannot use it as he is the only option to go on the block. If Bowie wins it, she can either keep noms the same or replace one with Jag.

I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. As I will be constantly updating, refresh the page to get the latest happenings! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

Before we get started, Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. Here's where we stand ...

Julie's outfit tonight

Day 96. Soon Bowie Jane will make her nominations. We travel back in time to Day 93 and Bowie Jane winning HOH. She tells us since she's in a final two with Jag and doesn't want to put him up. Matt tells us he would like to keep his record of not going on the block. Felicia knows she will be nominated. Jag proposes Bowie Jane think of a number between 1 and 100 and whoever is closest (him or Matt) will stay off the block. Little does Matt know that Bowie Jane and Jag set this up beforehand.

Nominations Ceremony time. Bowie Jane nominates Matt, then Felicia. She tells them there is no one left to put up (Jag?) and go after the veto.

Jag wants to win the veto and decide who is there with him and Bowie Jane. Felicia knows her days. She asks Mr. B for a days comp.

Cirie joins the jury house. Cirie blames Matt and Jag for her eviction. She's right, of course. She shows them the video. She points out to them that Jag wanted her out, not Matt. Cam is impressed with Jag. Cirie says she would like to see Matt win the game.

Taylor Hale, BB24 winner, is on with Julie now. She's been working with Entertainment Tonight. She and Joseph are just good friends now. Julie asks about the long season. Taylor is an advocate for the social game. Julie asks her about why each of the four should/could win.

Veto comp time! (Taped, of course.) A space theme. They go into individual rooms with planets on the walls. The ScrambleVerse has scrambled the timeline. It is a days comp!

The veto comp

Jag wins the Power of Veto! (Of course, he does.) 

Felicia wants to try to convince Jag to evict Matt. We'll see how that goes. She talks to Jag and points out that Matt is his biggest competitor. She points out that relationship wise, Matt might be better.

To the living room. 

Matt - Shout outs. Love Mama Fe, thanks for keeping us well-fed. Love BJ and Jag.

Felicia - Shout outs. Houseguests, has been my pleasure. Tried to play the game with truth and trust, the ones in here did it best. Love all three.

Jag votes his vote to evict Felicia. He was very nice about it.

The final three are yelling MAFIA and giving their M hand symbols.

Felicia talks to Julie. She says that Jag really had a loyalty to Matt and understands it. She doesn't think he made the right choice for his game.

Julie talks to the final three. She tells them that the battle for the three-part final HOH begins shortly. Julie hints that the BB universe has a holiday surprise in store. I'm thinking it could be the rumored Legends season.
