11/06/2023 Big Brother 25 Live Feed Spoilers and Updates!!!

gardenman — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 12:18:49 GMT

Last night we saw Jag vote out Felicia and keep Matt. Overnight they had part one of the three-part HOH comp and Matt won, so now Jag is rethinking the wisdom of keeping Matt. Duh! A little too little and too late dude.

It was an endurance comp of some sort and apparently hair was thrown at them as Matt said he used the hair they threw at him to keep himself warmer. So, on to part two either today or tomorrow (probably tomorrow) with either Bowie or Jag winning that. If Jag loses part two, he'll really be sick.

And it looks like we will be getting a winter season of BB of some sort as Julie promised us a holiday surprise at the end of the show and that she'll tell us more on Thursday. A celebrity version? That had been ruled out, but the actor's strike dragging on opens up that possibility. BB doesn't count as strike-breaking. A regular season just in winter? Also possible. They started casting for BB 26 back in June or July. Maybe another BBOTT with us being allowed to watch more? Probably not. With the strike they need stuff for the TV airings. A "Legends" season? Maybe. They have to overpay the "legends" to appear though and BB is typically a pretty cheap production. We'll find out more on Thursday.

So, now we kill time until we know who wins part two of the comp, (go Bowie!) and then we'll see the two "winners" conspire to take one another while the third person tries to convince them to take them instead. It looks like Matt will either win or finish third. It all depends on if he wins the third part of the HOH comp and we won't know that until Thursday. Both Jag and Bowie think Matt will win if they take him to the final two, so it's first or third for Matt. I don't see anyone taking him to the end now. He's got to get there on his own.

I think he has the best chance. I'm not sure anyone in the jury would vote for Bowie. Cirie and Felicia have pretty much hated her all season. Blue is with them in that regard. Bowie voted out America for no sane reason other than to make Jag happy. That could cost her both America and Cory's votes. Cameron might vote for her.

Jag could make a good argument to win, but his jury management was horrible. He lied to and backstabbed many of the jurors when it wasn't necessary. He won comps, but BB is as much a social game as a competition and his social game wasn't the best.

Matt also won comps and had a better social game. Given that Jag had been voted out and was only still in the game due to Matt using his power on Jag, helps Matt's case also. Cirie loves Matt and she'll influence the rest as much as she can.

If Matt makes the final two, he'll likely win. It's hard to see a way he doesn't win if he gets there.

@gardenman I wonder if any juror will hold it against Cirie when they find out that she had "help" in the first half of the season, and then perhaps won't consider her backing of Matt. In other words, will they feel "betrayed" by her and no longer want to listen to her influence??

Or, has it already come out that Jared is Cirie's son and I missed it? Thanks!

Only Blue knows and as far as I know, no one has told anyone. Blue never really told Cirie that she knew. I doubt that it would impact things now. If Jared was a finalist, it would matter a lot, but I'm not sure it would matter now. Production wants to save that tidbit for the finale, so Cirie and Blue have probably both been advised not to tell the jurors. Cirie might tell Felicia when they meet up but that will only be at the round table, and then they'll be separated afterward.

Cirie has this whole "Jared was like a son to you, but he is my son" routine worked up that she's been planning to use for weeks/months with Felicia. It was going to be her goodbye message to Felicia when Felicia left and Izzy stayed, but the vote got flipped on Cirie, and Felicia stayed.

That relationship will only likely come out after the jury votes, and they're reunited with the rest of the cast. Julie will then drop the bomb. You can expect something like, "And here are the rest of the houseguests starting with Reilly, Hisam, blah, blah, blah, and Cirie's son Jared." "Hi Mom!" They want to drop that bomb on the jurors on the live show. If Cirie or Blue spill the news before then, they'll both be ostracized by production. BB set that narrative up from day one, and they won't be happy if it gets destroyed now. They'll have cameras on the jury's faces as the news is delivered. They want shock and awe.

Does anyone know what the amount of the stipend is for the "losers"?

It's supposed to be around $1,000+ per week. Some players get more, likely Cirie got more this year, but in general, it's believed to be somewhere in the $1,000+ a week range. BB tends to recruit some players and sometimes they have to offer more if they really want that person.

Players also win cash through the season. Matt won $5,000 about a week ago. Someone else whose name escapes me now won $5,000 earlier in the season. Was it Jag? Cory? Maybe. I don't remember now. And we have America's Favorite Player award coming up for another $50,000. I believe they also get some spending money during the casting process for meals and whatnot when they're flown out to LA for interviews, physicals, and media stuff. Former players tend to get offers to host events at local clubs/bars and other opportunities also.

I have to disagree with @gardenman saying Blue never really told Cerie she knew the "secret".

I do remember hearing/seeing Blue tell Cerie she knew that Jared was her son. It was on an eviction night and was the CBS show episode where Blue went home. The show showed a clip of the events that ocured before the live show.

The clip was Cerie giving Blue the heads up that she was the one being evicted that night. Blue then tells Cerie she knew the "secret", that she figured it out for herself and didn't tell anyone. Cerie said "Thank you".

If I'm remembering wrong, then I must have been hallucinating...LOL.

@Lovestheshores You are correct. In the bathroom I think (where else!?), Blue told Cirie that she knew Cirie's secret; that she "figured it out" by putting "things together" but hasn't & won't tell anyone. Cirie then told the camera that she appreciated Blue's not telling anyone her secret.

I must have missed that.

Seeing that we're almost to the end of another season, I'd like to sincerely thank Gardenman for all his updates. This is a very time consuming favor to us all and I for one am very appreciative. God Bless you Gardenman.

For a celebrity BB one way around the actor's strike would be to use actual people known for being tops in their field. Retired or off season athletes, well known authors, celebrity chefs, musicians/singers, fashion designers.

My ideal would be a house of mystery writers. I can only dream.

Of course those are people that actually work for a living and probably wouldn't be interested in the confinement or time away from their careers.

I agree with the thank you for @gardenman.
