Season 25 Episodes Live Chat: What Just Happened?

[Michichick]

Unanimous, that’s got to hurt.

[Guest]

OMG.  I think I just heart beats off someone's mic.  It was beating fast. hee

 

[Lady Calypso]

I wish one of these days, an evictee would leave out the first door and then slam it shut and run out the main door before the others can open it back up.

[FlyingEgret]

Thank goodness Bowie Jean just abbreviated her Shout Out to "everyone in Australia" instead of actually naming them all...

Did that not ever happen in earlier seasons?  There were some vicious evictions in the past.  Probably more than one who didn't hug anyone on the way out.

[jsm1125]

Cory came the closest to not shouting anyone out, though his one shoutout was a little understandable. 
 

I think it’s a good sign for Matt that Hisam named the others in the Handful (Riley, Blu, Jag, Cameron) but not him, in terms of who is in the other alliance. 
 

CBS couldn’t spring for closed captioning for Matt in the DR? That was appalling on their end

Ugh Tyler and Alyssa next on the challenge. I am looking forward to 90 minute survivor episodes though. 

[Lady Calypso]

LOL, Kirsten going on a minute tangent and Julie's look on her face is hilarious.

I thought Cody did it when he jumped the table and also thought Michael did last season.

[Lady Calypso]

And that completely eliminates a pre-jury battleback.

[enchantingmonkey]

Welp, Kirsten definitely isn't going to be a part of a BattleBack if she knows about Cirie and Jared.  

[dizzyd]

Just now, Lady Calypso said:

Yeah, I thought there was going to be a battle back from the netherworld.

I thought LC meant the doors that open into the studio so the remaining houseguests can't see out.

[enchantingmonkey]

Oh, they could still do a BattleBack with whoever goes after Kirsten.  But they aren't giving her a chance to get back in.

That would be so incredibly unfair if they did that.

I'm very worried, with this unanimous first boot, that it's a sign of how votes will go for the rest of the season.

Even with this tease of a split house, and they all vote together? Is this a sign it'll be unanimous/near unanimous all season? Yawn, if so.

Are you suggesting that Production is playing the game with honesty and integrity?  

[Lady Calypso]

So teases but no concrete answers on what the next twist is.

Boring, this was boring.

Oh, wait, never mind, what is this?

 

[enchantingmonkey]

No HOH comp???  Sheesh. That was the only reason I watched this nonsense.

Wasn’t an hoh last week.

E05: HOH #2, Nominations #2

[Lamb18]

Well I just clicked onCBS to watch Big Brother, and . . . Golf? What the ???? So golf has to finish up, the 60 Minutes before we can watch Big Brother? I was thinking about this happening with football in a few weeks. But now?

I hope they're done soon. My luck they're on Hole 2.

Me too!  This-Episode-Live-Chat may end up being a nothing burger.

[Lady Calypso]

It looks like 60 Minutes just started for the East Coasters so Live Chat will be open for live chatting once the episode starts in roughly an hour. 

[Lady Calypso]

Episode has started and, uh, weird new DR background.

But also kind of cool?

Wait, are they actually in a new studio place? This isn't the typical other studio they use.

Wait, BB got an increase in their budget.

Wait, this is really cool.

[Guest]

I can't understand the Nether Gorgon (NG).  Also?  I think NG is on stilts or he has bad knees.  One of those.

[Lady Calypso]

So, this is almost a Hide and Seek meets Clue situation. 

It's a different comp than they've ever did, so kudos for the show for actually creating a new creative competition.

[Lamb18]

There's the garage with the chainsaws from that one commercial with Nashville's avatar. 

This is quite a set. It really looks like they're put in a neighborhood somewhere.

[Thalia]

They sure as hell better have written instructions for Matt.  I can barely understand what the Gorgon is saying.  

The shed with the chainsaws reminds me of the insurance commercial with the teenagers running around "Let's go hide there!   Good idea!" 

Edited August 14, 2023 by Thalia
Lamb18 beat me too it.

[Lady Calypso]

I do appreciate them flinging on a red light to indicate that you're in the wrong spot and have lost.

[Lamb18]

They are doing a replay of that commercial.

"Why don't we leave in the running car?"

"Are you stupid? Let's hide behind the chainsaws!"

Nashville shakes his head.

[dizzyd]

Is the nether in the back yard ir off campus? It’s been a while since they’ve done an off campus comp, no wonder it took so long and a lot of budget went into it. Yeah, idk how Matt would have understood anything; I think he just followed someone else. Should have at least used captions for us, even my tv caption didn’t understand the gorgon.

That HOH was a lot of fun.

Off campus. This is not the backyard but it's ALSO not the typical alternative space they've used before. This is an entirely new studio because it's bigger and seems to be more open, as far as I can tell.

 

Jared: I got this! I saw the number four, I know EXACTLY which door to choose!

Me: But both doors have the number four? 

Nether-Gorgon: You chose the wrong door, Jared! Sucks to be you!

Jared was so cocky, yet he was so wrong.

That's really funny.

[Guest]

Jared counted his chickens before they hatched.

[Thalia]

Cirie just cried out "we love you Boo," or whatever her nickname for him is.  

[Guest]

Ok.  I like the cheesy use of the portal screens

[Lady Calypso]

Cirie: Is he returning or lost forever in the Nether?

Yes, because he's stuck on a vacant studio lot, never to return. What a stupid line they fed Cirie.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh look, a Matt/Reilly segment.

And Jared's back on the TV lol

[Thalia]

"SHE SAID MY NAME"

[Lady Calypso]

Weird, Hisam asks her and Reilly does confirm she said it....but Hisam's like "SHE SAID MY NAME, I HAVE TO RESPOND!" Except she admitted it to you instead of lying to your face like other people probably have so....why?

[Lamb18]

Matt really doesn't look like Tyler except for his hair.

[Guest]

Safe even from a replacement nom?  

[Lady Calypso]

So Jared returns but now someone else goes in his place.

Oh, and it'll be all week.

[Guest]

Can Jared choose himself?

[Lady Calypso]

Ooof, Jared just lied to Reilly's face.

This IS hard, knowing Reilly is spot on and Jared won't even entertain the idea. He isn't showing any signs that he'll keep her safe, despite her begging. And I hate that Jared is lying to her and saying "trust me", knowing she's Hisam's target. 

[Lamb18]

Funny if Jared sent Hisam.

[dizzyd]

How do they not understand that Jared has to protect himself not them?! They already knew they were in trouble the moment Hisam won HoH so why are they surprised with his noms?

Edited August 14, 2023 by dizzyd

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, that's REALLY funny, Jag is there for the ceremony, just in the Nether lol

[FlyingEgret]

If Jared is supposedly working with the Younger Side, why would Cirie suggest he save Felicia? She eventually switched it to Jag but still that was uncharacteristic of her brilliant strategic game play

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, and Hisam's all about LOYAL AND INTEGRITY.

Jesus, this guy is insufferable.
