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

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. Here's where we stand:

Belo – Blue Tribe – Fijian word for Heron

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

Reba – Red Tribe – Fijian word for Goshawk

Dee --- Judi Sweeney, Brent McKee
Maya (J) --- Petals, Glenn Allen, Nickelpeed
Julie --- Andi, PDX Granny
Nicholas “Sifu” --- KelseyNY, Debbie in FL

Survivor fans ready? 

Sitting out the Previously On segment. Whoops! There goes Brando!

We start with Belo returning to the camp. Emily feels part of a team for once. Kendra was blindsided. She wants revenge on Emily but is putting a happy face on for the tribe.

Lulu Day 12. Bruce has a Beware advantage which he finds in front of the others on his tribe. He loses his vote. They all ran to camp. Bruce wants Katurah to not find the idol and is with everyone else but her. Whoops, there she comes! Jake fakes losing a ring. 

A boat arrives at Belo. Drop your buffs, they will be taken to their new home. Reba gets drop your buffs, new people will be arriving soon. Lulu also have the note. Bruce FINDS what he's looking for! He tells Kellie, Kaleb and Jake about finding it.

The two boats are on their way to the Reba camp. Dee is happy to see Drew and Austin. So many are reuniting. Kaleb is thrilled to be back with Emily and is happy that she is doing better. They are the only two Lulu left. They all get a feast!    

Kendra is acting a bit wacky about things. Is she trying to channel her inner Carolyn from last season. Kendra gets with Bruce, tells all she knows. Emily is regretting the comments she made to Bruce at the start of the game. Bruce acts like he accepts her apologies but tells us he will get her.     

Austin is still thinking sandwiches. He still wants revenge on J and the other one there. His idol will expire after this tribal council unless he loses his vote. Julie thinks J will cut them as soon as she can. Drew thinks it's time to elevate themselves to the new stage of the game.

GAH -- a Lindor CHRISTMAS AD. Too early! Too early! EEK! A Kohls Christmas commercial. Make them STOP!

Day 13 and it's pouring. Sifu loves it. He's probably the only one. Emily and Kaleb are really clicking all over again. Kaleb gets more intel from Belo. Emily tries working more on Bruce. No one is talking to him. Kendra does, though. Bruce thinks Kaleb is floating around with everyone. He tries talking to his old Belo. Then he talks to Kaleb. Kaleb does not appreciate Bruce's advice not to talk to others. Kaleb talks to Kellie who agrees with him. She's over Bruce.

Immunity Challenge time! Jeff takes back the tribal idols. There is no individual immunity yet because they haven't reached that stage. Randomly divided intotwo groups of sixc, threw mud, to cart, push cart, sandbags, top of tower, keys, slide down, work together to top of big boulder, two puzzles. First team to finish earns merge buff, merge meal and immunity from the first tribal council. One too many. That one will bet on a team. 

Blue and Red. Katurah has no color. She bets on Blue. If they win, she will join them. If they lose, she will join them.

RED

BLUE

BLUE wins Immunity and the merge meal. Someone on Red will go home tonight. They will still vote tonight at Tribal but cannot be voted out.

The Blue team is having a ball at the Sanctuary. Drew, Julie, Sifu, Bruce, Austin, Katurah. Sifu wants J out because she wrote down his name. Of course, it was Dee. Kendra thinks Kaleb is dangerous.  

On Red, Jake is nervous. J tells Jake that Kaleb needs to go. She's on high alert about him. Dee tells Jake she wants to vote out J. Kellie is happy with a J choice.

Day 13. Red people are all worried. Katurah talks to them about J. She thinks Kaleb is strong but she wants J out. Bruce thinks they should be voting out social butterfly Kaleb. Uh-oh ... Drew is up for it. Although Austin wants J out, he thinks it might be best to get rid of Kaleb. Emily wants to save her only ally Kaleb. Uh-oh.

Emily warns Kaleb. Kaleb tells Drew Bruce has an idol. He lets Austin know. They are walking off to Tribal.

Tribal Council Night 13. Jeff asks Drew about what happened yesterday. Drew says there is still a lot of instability. Emily thinks she squashed the issue with Bruce. J says yesterday was overwhelming. Kaleb says he's an optimist, may be a big threat but not a big strategic threat. Is there a Lulu curse? Ohh ... Kaleb tells them the most dangerous threat would be J. Oh my. 

Time to vote.
J votes "Caleb." Austin is not voting to extend his idol into a real idol.

The tally: Whoa! Kaleb plays his Shot in the Dark. Jeff opens it. Kaleb is SAFE! J is NOT happy.

Back to the tally: Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb. ALL the votes were for Kaleb. No more shot in the darks can play. They have to revote. J wants Emily out, Bruce tells Emily he wants J out. J is really pushing the Emily. Uh-oh.

Revote time. Emily votes J. J votes Emily.

The tally: J, Emily, J, J, J, J, J ... six is enough.

J is gone, my blog pool random pick Emily remains and they have now all made the merge.

TWO people are going home next week.


BB25: Live Feeds into Wednesday - Nov. 1

 

Boo! They had pumpkins to carve.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go:

  • In the morning, Felicia and Cirie made amends. They apologized to each other for throwing each other under various buses and everything.
  • They hugged and vowed to be true friends forever.
  • "Wait until you meet my son, he's just like Jared!"
  • Heh.
  • Much of the waking hours of the day were spent prepping for the big Halloween party planned by BB in the evening.
  • That, of course, was blocked to the live feeds.
  • They probably had music.
  • BB left them all kinds of costumes and costume accessories in the storage room.
  • Ony Cirie and Felicia really went to town with the costumes.
  • Felicia's costume gave me Geraldine (Flip Wilson) vibes. If you're old enough, you will see it, too!
  • Matt did put on a blond wig.
  • Jag and Bowie had capes on. Jag couldn't wear a wig due to his turban. I don't know Bowie Jane's excuse.
  • Jag did have a pig nose and fake glasses on at one point. I found that fitting.
  • Matt had a clown nose and fake glasses on for a while.
  • They carved pumpkins.
  • I don't know if BB is pushing the Reilly/Matt thing what with the HOH photos and letter from her or what, but Matt carved a pumpkin with R 💘 M. Give me a break!
  • When setting up the pumpkins in the HOH room for a camera shot, Jag only wanted their three pumpkins, not Felicia's or Cirie's in the shot. Grr.
  • But, on the other hand, Jag wanted to split the beers they got five ways while Bowie Jane and Matt fussed about that.
  • They got their way.
  • After so much together time, Cirie and Felicia went downstairs to spend the rest of the evening together while the other three stayed in the HOH room talking about how great they are.
  • The Operation Paranoia or Pressure Cracker plans seemed to be put on hold for the most part due to the Halloween festivities.
  • But they plan to continue tomorrow.
  • Bowie wants to tell Felicia she's going home so she will stop studying.
  • I'm looking at some of the stuff Jag, Matt and Bowie are studying. Um. I think they're getting a bit too intricate and might miss the big picture if it is a memory comp.
  • Laters. 👻

Mr. B left them costumes and accessories.

Why is Felicia giving me Geraldine vibes?

Cirie looks good in purple.

The Reilly/Matt one-week fauxmance?

Jag wore a cape, no wig.
