BB25: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Sept. 19

 

Jared tells all to her. She tells Matt and Jag.

Once again, my apologies. I have really been whammed with some kind of super cold/virus thing. I did test negative for Covid, so that was good. But now that I've stopped constantly coughing, I can type once again! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of A Deranged Despot:

• The tides have turned in the house.
• It started with the Cory/Jared brouhaha-ish on the Izzy eviction day in which Jared's outright lies were exposed.
• And it continues, exposing lies of Cirie's now as well.
• How did that happen?
• Well, the fool Jared tells everything that Cirie says to him in confidence to Blue who, in turn, tells Matt and Jag.
• Also, due to Jared being "with" Blue, Cirie trusts her to an extent, as well.
• For example, Cirie and Jared talked about how they think Matt and Jag have been throwing comps and they're likely to throw the HOH comp Thursday.
• Now they won't throw it! Blue told them they were expecting them to throw it.
• Felicia has now turned on Cirie as she found out that she (Felicia) is being blamed for saying a lot of things that actually came from Jared and Cirie.
• The main target after Cam goes will be Jared. If they can't get Jared out, they will settle for Cirie out.
• Although a few days ago, Felicia brought up the idea of a double eviction this week with Cirie, that thought seems to have passed and no one has mentioned it lately.
• The plan for the next HOH (in which Jared can't play), is to get Jared out.
• I think that would be the best thing for Cirie's game at this time. However, the damage her kid has done might be irreparable.
• Of course, with the double it could be Jared and then Cirie.
• The only comp thing in Cirie's favor is that she studies people and the house. She knows the comp wins, etc. But in a physical comp, her only real competition for a loss is Felicia.
• On a sad note, I was watching when Matt was in the bathroom talking with America, Cory and Jag. They kept whispering. At one point, he just came out saying that he couldn't take the whispers. "It's so annoying," he said, abruptly leaving the bathroom.
• He ended up going to the HOH room alone for a good cry in frustration. That was last night.
• He told Felicia today that all the whispering in the house was just too much. He's getting headaches and can't concentrate on everyone's lips at the same time.
• On good Matt notes, Felicia told him that it's a great thing he's doing by being on the show and perhaps attracting other deaf people into trying out for reality shows. Plus, Cirie gave him praise and told him he would do well when he told her he'd like to get into modeling.
• Cirie has been going around trying to mend fences with others. But can she keep up when Jared bulldozes those fences right down? I don't know.
• Oh? What about Cam?
• Well, he did start CAMpaigning (get it?) today.
• For what good that will do.
• Everybody except Mecole just nodded and didn't say much at all.
• Mecole talked to the camera (us) about it. She would rather America go. But she was trying to figure out the votes. She would need five votes to flip it. Since there are eight voting, Jared would have the tiebreaker if 4-4.
• Other than just trivial non-game talk today, most of the talk was who would win HOH and what would they do.
• It's as if Cameron is already gone and they've moved on.
• At this time, the most solid two in the house are Matt and Jag.
• The showmances not so much.
• I don't think we will have much of a Waffle Wednesday tomorrow.
• Laters!

The Minutemen

Will he go out in the double?

Cory! Your mother is watching!

Home alone if America goes out first.

Cam knows Thursday will be POW to him.

BB25: Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting Update - Sept. 18

The Unreliables with a cast change.

You'll have to excuse the short update, please.

• It was (of course) determined that Jag would use the veto to save either Cory or America.
• Jag left it up to them as when Cameron went up as the renom, he would definitely be voted out.
• Jag said if they can't decide, he will remove Cory because Cory chose him as Houseguest Choice to play the veto.
• After imbibing wine last night, America told Jag to take Cory down.
• Cam knew the minute that Jag won the veto that he was sunk.
• Other than several times sitting alone looking pensive, he's been okay.
• He said he will try to stay but will go out with dignity. I guess we will see.
• The live feeds were blocked for the veto ceremony.
• Cameron is on the block and it seems like it is indeed against America.

Dead man eating pizza.

 

BB25: HOH and Nominations Show Blog Party - Sept. 17

 

Good evening. Just to give you a heads up -- I'm not feeling well tonight. I seem to have caught some kind of bug. As a result, my live-blogging of the show won't be up to its usual self. I'm also not thrilled that the show isn't starting until 10:30PM ET, either.

My apologies in advance. Oh, and now I'm hearing 10:50PM ET for the start of the show. Sigh.

At least the show tonight is the wall comp which I did cover on the live feeds a few days ago.

We will get to see part of the blow-up between Jared and Cory the day Izzy got evicted.

But we're to the wall first. Oops, back to before the vote. Jared lies to Matt and tells him Jag said they were keeping Felicia. Cory thinks it doesn't make sense that Jag would say anything. Matt blows intel on alliances to Jared. Then Cory gets involved. There is shouting going on. Cory exposes Jared's lies to him as Jared tries to over shout him. Cory did expose Jared's lies and how he lied throwing Jag under the bus.

Back to the comp. Cirie out first in less than ten minutes. Felicia down in just under 19 minutes. America 21 minutes out. Mecole out 27 minutes. Cory 28 minutes out. Jag 35 minutes. Matt 37 minutes. Blue down 43 minutes followed by Bowie Jane. 

JARED wins the HOH! He calls his mother "bro" while hugging her. Eep.

Cameron doesn't feel as uneasy as he thinks others feel. 

Matt and Cameron's punishments are over.

Jared tells Cirie that he wants to nominate America and Cory with a backdoor plan of Cameron.

Nominations ceremony ... that's just what he does. Cory, then America are nominated.

BB25: Live Feeds Power of Veto Spoilers - Sept. 16

 

Playing for their lives.

The veto winner is at the bottom of this post. 

But, trust me, the stuff in between is good reading!

Here's what's been happening in that Big Brother House of We Gots Ourselves a Pressure Cooker Without a Pressure Cooker:

• Well, the veto picks were made this morning.
• Some of their worst nightmares came true. But, heck, the odds of people getting picked when fewer people are in the house really counts.
• Yep, Cameron was picked to play for the veto.
• Bowie Jane was a random draw by Jared (who would pick her anyway?) and Cory got Houseguest Choice, choosing Jag. Then America drew a chip -- Jag. She had to redraw and randomly picked Cameron. Matt will host.
• Oh my, that kind of throws a wrench into the works, doesn't it? She had told Jag before that the only chip she didn't want to pull was Cameron.
• Cameron told America if he wins, he will take her off the block.
• He also told her to throw the comp to him. Yeah, like she will do that with her game on the line!
• His plan is to then push for a Jag renom and work on everyone to get Jag out. After all, Jag was ALREADY voted out.
• Cam knows that America doesn't want to lose Cory and he thinks Cory stands a chance to stay against Jag. 
• Then they can work together! Like that will happen. America will cut him the first chance she gets!
• Then there was the big Cirie/Jared talk. It came about because Blue put a bug in her ear (not literally, mind you) that since Izzy was gone people were talking about how close she (Cirie) is with Jared.
• Cirie told Jared, for the good of his game, if Cameron wins and takes down America, put her (Cirie) up and she will go home.
• She thinks it would save his game to show that he is not attached to her.
• What she doesn't realize is that she sees her little boy with rose-colored glasses. Maybe it's those sunglasses she wears all the time.
• Jared has as many people after him as there are after Cameron.
• Both are obnoxious and arrogant plus they keep winning comps! Of course, people want BOTH of them out!
• Cirie thinks that Jared could team up with Blue, Matt and perhaps Jag or Cory.
• She made the offer to save his game, a game already sunk by the first chance they get to evict him whether she's there or not. She said it's purely a game move and nobody (like us) could say anything about it because she volunteered.
• Um, no. Blue has already said that if she wins HOH she will be nominating Jared. 
• Neither Matt nor Jag have any love for him.
• Cirie tried Cirie-misting Jared about it, but he did tell her no.
• Although later he told Blue (who knows she's his mother) that he was considering it.
• Supposedly Jared has a deal for safety with Cameron if Cameron doesn't go up as a nom or a renom in the next HOH since he can't play for it.
• But it's Big Brother. A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse and the entire game is just a big spool of lies!
• They still aren't even thinking that this week is a double eviction. They are too busy worrying about the veto comp.
• Jared made it apparent to Bowie Jane that he doesn't think she will win. No, he didn't come out and say it to her -- he just kept telling her how he HAS to win and Cameron CANNOT win.
• What if she wins?
• She would probably go by Jared's wishes. She just wants to last in the house until jury.
• Jag has agreed to Jared he would take America down if he wins.
• Before the veto picks, yet another new "alliance" or, at least an agreement, was made. Matt, Cirie, Jag, Jared, Blue and Felicia all agreed that what's said between them stays between them. They call it "This Thing is Not a Thing."
• Okaaay ... but they don't realize that Matt, Jag and Blue aren't really "with" the others, per se. And, what's said between them is certainly not shared with Jared, Felicia or Cirie!
• I should make a point that this is the busiest feeds season I've seen in years. Like the casting or not, some strategy, alliance (fake or real) or scheming is going on.
• The feeds got blocked around 2:30PM ET for the veto comp.
• I'm just going to wait for the theme music to stop, see who won and then get this posted.
• It could be a long wait. I don't have to watch the adoptable animals, though. I minimize the feeds on my computer with the loud theme music turned way down and do other stuff. 
• I need to catch up on my Only Murders in the Building. If I hear the music in the background stop and voices, I'll flash on back to the live feeds to see the winner and get a screen cap.
• Feeds have now been down almost four hours as I type this. Rumor on the street -- okay, Twitter -- is that the comp will be OTEV. We will see. Hopefully soon.
• At almost 7PM ET, the feeds came back on.
• JAG WON THE POWER OF VETO! It was not OTEV.
• Jag won by 40 seconds, Cameron came in second, Jared third.

He has the necklace!

Jared, put me up.

Frenemies or fake friends, real enemies.

The latest new "alliance."

BB25: Live Feeds into Saturday - Sept. 16

And the cheese sits alone.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loquacious Louts:

• Oh my. 
• It seems all this season has been nothing but a spool of lies! Spool of lies is, of course, copyrighted to Janelle Pierzina and credited mostly to Howie Gordon on BB All Stars -- 

• Since the big Cory/Jared shouting match pre-eviction show day, Cory's bridges are pretty much burned with everyone except America.
• Since that big almost brouhaha, yet more than a kerfuffle, Blue heard an awful lot about her pseudo-love Jared.
• That's why she's in tears.
• So, now she's hooking up (no, not THAT way) with Jag and Matt to work against Jared and the Cirie Machine.
• But, she wants to still pretend to be with Jared.
• Is she good enough to be a double agent? She doesn't really know the game but he ain't too bright neither.
• She is still sitting on the big secret. While Izzy would never have given it up, I can see Blue spilling it in anger or tears.
• Yes, she knows Cirie is Jared's mother, not Felicia.
• Yes, Jared told her.
• Now, Jared is worried and actually went to Cirie and told her he thinks Izzy told Blue.
• Cirie isn't dumb. People may think she's a lot of things, but dumb is not one of them. She knows it had to be Jared telling Blue.
• Can Matt and Jag actually not blab and are their acting skills good enough to convince Cirie and Jared they are working with them?
• Technically, right now with Cameron being a backdoor target, pretty much everyone in the house is working with them.
• But what happens once, if that goal is achieved this week and Jared cannot compete for HOH ... who is going to take the step to get him out in the double eviction? Which, they have no clue is coming.
• America, for sure, would take that shot at him.
• In other news, the latest final two deal in the house is Mecole and Felicia. That's cute, but they will need to step up their games when the numbers dwindle. I don't think anyone wants to be sitting next to Felicia in a final two as her age and credit for lasting that long might give her a win. Mecole, on the other hand, needs to show more leadership and spunk.
• The Brown Sugar Babes are still fairly solid as a final four pact - Jared, Cirie, Felicia and Mecole.
• But if Jared gets the boot, the others might be like fish in a barrel.
• Cameron is extremely disappointed to hear the jury will only be seven. He's been telling everyone he needs to make jury for financial reasons. It will give him even more incentive to win veto if he's picked to play. His first goal coming in was to win. It seems he's given up that dream and just wants to make jury stipend -- $1,000 a week.
• Jared kind of agreed to a deal not to nominate or renom him. But there goes that spool of lies again.
• Jared and Cory have talked. The tempers have cooled down, but the burnt bridge is barely passable.
• Now that fight happened because Cory spilled all he knew about Jared to Cameron and then to most everyone.
• The Power of Veto comp will be later today. 
• If Cameron wins the veto and saves America or Cory, whichever one remains on the block will go.
• Jared has told everyone that, if they win veto, they need to use it so Cameron can be backdoored.
• Oh. And Bowie Jane keeps bowieing around the house for a summer camp experience with the jury goal in mind.
• And, that's where we stand.
• Laters!

Cory is no Ian playing both sides.

Did she come to play the game even?

Knew she would be on the block.

More solid with Jag/Matt than Jared now.

But she will pretend.

The latest final two deal.

ADDED UPDATE: The veto players were picked -- in addition to Jared, Cory and America we have CAMERON, Jag and Bowie Jane. I'm sure Cameron was a random draw. Matt will host the comp. This should be good with Cory, America and Cameron playing like their BB house lives depend on it as well as Jared playing so Cameron doesn't win.
