BB25: Last Live Feeds of the Season - Day 100

They bid the live feeders adieu.

But had to add their silly M

Here's the last and latest from inside that Big Brother House of Finally Finale:
  • Once again, not too much to report.
  • Yesterday Bowie made pitches to both of the others.
  • She knows she would lose to both, so she's pitching for second place.
  • When she talked to Jag, she actually made some excellent points -- if he wins Part Three and takes Matt to the Final Two, he's throwing away the 750 grand.
  • However, she thinks he's sure to win against her and she would be satisfied with second place.
  • Jag did seem to ponder it for a bit.
  • However, he and Matt met up in the bathroom and compared notes on Bowie Jane's talks.
  • Her talk with Matt had been more along the lines of an assured win against her, iffy against Jag.
  • In the end, it looks like Jag and Matt will stick together in the final two.
  • In other news, Matt trash talked America/Cory again.
  • They went through all the other players and decided most were overrated.
  • They napped ... at one point the guys cuddled together with Bowie Jane awkwardly atop them.
  • They each played Solitaire ... solitarily.
  • They have not done much housecleaning as of yet. You know Felicia would be going with the vacuum!
  • I'm waiting to see if they do something for the feeds close before I post this.
  • Live feeds ended at 1:00PM ET.

The Amazing Race 35: Like Two Cats Fighting in a Car - Ep. 7 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 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
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.

Greg/John get their clue -- leaving India and heading to Frankfurt, Germany. All teams will be on the same flight. So, there will be a bunching point again. Once there, they will have to do the driving for the first time. Ashlie and Todd lived in Germany for a while as did Robbin.

Teams hit the ground running and find their cars. They have to drive to a ferry which will take them to a castle. They need to spend five euros on board to exchange for historical coins to pay their way at the Roadblock. Already a few teams are not following the directions right.

Three teams hit the Roadblock -- Must pay off a robber baron to pay the toll. The hard part is to figure out what the witten (coins) are worth. The coin values are the issue. They get the clue and rappel down the side of a mountain. Morgan and Lena are through first.

After the Roadblock they will head to Cologne. 

Uh-oh, Malaina and Andrea are on the wrong ferry. They think they're in first. They never got the historical coins because they never got on the right ferry.

The teams hitting Cologne are having directional issues. Even father/daughter are arguing.

It's time to horse around. It's a carnival. One team member has to ride a carnival bike horse while the other throws flowers.


They have to go on foot to get the next clue.

Malaina and Andrea are totally lost, haven't even found the castle yet. When they did find the castle, they had to head back to the right ferry for the coins. Other teams are having trouble finding the right place to park in Cologne.

Roadblock - They have to unlock a marked love lock on a bridge. The lock combination is the oldest cologne made in Cologne -- 4711. Greg got the lock first. They are in first place again. Ashlie helped Rob out with the number.

Detour: Just for Kicks -- Velcro soccer balls on dartboard. Matter of Taste -- identify nine mustard seed flavors by taste. As a person who HATES mustard, I could never taste the mustards! Greg and John finish first. They can head to the Pit Stop which is at a chocolate museum.

Pit Stop Order
1. Greg/John - won $4,000 each
2. Robbin/Chelsea
3. Todd/Ashlie
4. Rob/Corey
5. Steve/Anna Leigh
6. Morgan/Lena
7. Garrett/Joel

Uh-oh ... the carnival has packed up and Phil is waiting for Malaina and Andrea there. They are Philiminated.

Survivor 45: The Thorn in My Thumb - Ep. 7 Blog Party

 

Good evening! Tonight's show should be interesting. The promos have two people getting their torches snuffed. 

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. 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. Here's where we stand:

Kendra --- Cherry Pie, EthanC
Emily --- ChicMc, Donna in AL, Jackie

Survivor fans ready?

Sitting through the Previously On segment.

They're returning from Tribal. Kaleb had played his shot in the dark and everyone had voted against him. Of course, he knows he has no friends there. Bruce, in front of all, calls out Katurah for being hesitant to vote Kaleb out. She tells us that Bruce is the thorn in her thumb and now a serious liability. Now Bruce is on Kendra's radar, too.

Day 14. Kaleb is bonding with Katurah. They talk about Bruce. They think they want to target him next and recruit others. Emily and Kaleb continue to want to work together. Emily talks to Austin. He has a two-way steal a vote with Kellie. He did not vote the last Tribal. His idol has reached its final form if she goes.

Kaleb talks to Jake. He wants to get in with Bruce a bit more. Bruce is saying great things about Kaleb to Kaleb. But he has an ulterior motive. Bruce is making Kaleb feel like one of his kids. Bruce has Jake and Kellie as his number ones, does he need Kaleb?

Kellie thinks that Bruce has too many agendas against others to deal with. There are five original Belo members. Jake thinks a Reba/Belo war will be coming and they need Kaleb.

Right to a classic Immunity Challenge -- holding onto a pole. Twist -- two groups of six, two people lasting longest win Immunity. Reward -- Sanctuary and the winning group gets to go second to Tribal. The loser of the first Tribal won't make jury.

Blue Team

Emily first out for Blue, Julie out for Red. Kendra and Jake both out for Red. Sifu out for Blue, Bruce out. Austin out Red. Drew out. 

Kellie wins for BLUE and is now competing for Reward. Kaleb out for Red. Katurah out. Dee wins for RED and is up against Kellie for Reward. Dee wins Reward for Red!

Blue goes to the Sanctuary. Red has to go to the old Lulu camp and make some decisions.

Dee thinks they're all voting Kaleb. Julie is worried for herself. Jake, of course, wants Kaleb as a shield. Jake thinks that Dee is dangerous but safe. However, Dee is with Julie, so he wants to go for her to leave.

Drew thinks a Sifu blindside is best He does want Bruce out but wants to work with him. Drew left his bag with his idol at the other beach. He talks to Kendra to try to get a Bruce out movement afoot. Bruce thinks Kendra is dropping his name ... and he's right. He has his idol and trusts Kellie.

Austin and Dee are talking about Kaleb. Maybe keeping Kaleb might be best? Dee says no and thinks Jake will work with them to get Kaleb out. Jake agrees with her but that's a lie. Kaleb tells Jake that Katurah should be told about Bruce's idol. Maybe she can flip them. Three votes on Julie, three on Kaleb, revote, draw rocks -- is Jake's plan. Convince Austin they don't need to draw rocks.

Katurah knows that Jake wants Julie out. Jake agrees that Bruce has an idol. Although now she knows that all of her previous alliance knew that Bruce had the idol but her. Will she vote with the Reba people? Now she can't really trust them.

Old Lulu Camp -- Sifu and Emily talk about voting out Bruce. Sifu thinks it might be him getting voted out tonight. Kendra and Kellie talk about Bruce, thinking it might not be time for him to go yet. At least that's Kellie's take on it. Maybe Sifu is an easy target? Drew thinks Bruce out would be better for his own game but doesn't know if they can swing it. 

Time to vote. The tally -- Bruce, Sifu, Sifu, Sifu, Sifu ... four is enough.

Sifu is voted out.

Red is heading in to Tribal. Dee says the group bonded today. They can't be robots but if the target is you, you can't be safe. Jake talks trust and reliance. Kaleb wonders if he is alone, must show that he can be an ally. Time to vote. Dee votes Kaleb, Kaleb votes Julie.

The tally -- Kaleb, Julie, Kaleb, Julie, Kaleb, Kaleb. 

Aw, rats. I liked Kaleb. He's the first jury member.

Kendra talks to Bruce, but he doesn't trust her. Bruce tells Kellie he will play his idol tonight. 

Tribal Council time for Blue first. Drew talks about how the one out won't be on jury and it's scary. Jeff continues asking his Probsting questions. Sifu says he knows people see him as a threat. Sifu sees the division within the six.

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.
