This site is about the Big Brother 27 feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me. It's about watching hamsters: who's doing what and why. Thanks for encouraging my behavior.

Daily Feeds Recaps

Day 16 - Wednesday - July 23, 2025

In overnight news, after Ashley told Vince yesterday that his and Zach's late night snacks and meetings between the two of them and/or with Morgan were becoming known, which Vince denied but later told Zach about, Ashley and Mickey caught the three of them doing it again last night. They didn't confront them about it, but I'm sure they tucked it away for later ammo.

Rachel told Jimmy while cycling she doesn't think Amy has the votes to stay. Jimmy agreed and said he was surprised to have heard that from several people. Rachel asked why they want to get rid of her, as if she's not fully aware SHE is why. Later Rachel asked Lauren if it's true Katherine doesn't like Amy, and wants to go after her and Rachel? Lauren denied it, saying she hadn't heard that (cough). Rachel smoothly dropped Jimmy right into it by saying she'd heard Lauren was there with Jimmy and Katherine when Katherine said it. They were in the bathroom getting ready for something when Ashley came along, and may have said something to the effect of yes it's true, but it's not worth getting involved. I couldn't hear her clearly but no matter, drama kicked off when Rachel asked "how many times have you played Big Brother, Ashley?" Ashley responded "you thought you could trust the whole house the other day!" Unfortunately whatever they were getting ready for sent us to WBRB and kept us there for over three hours. Maybe something for the HOH comp, or the inaugural Unlocked show? There was no indication why when feeds came back.

Adrian told us he doesn't like being isolated, his only hope is to win Block Buster, and "they're all a bunch of liars." He said he wants to stay and win HOH, and nominate Keanu and Jimmy because they lied to him, and Morgan because she was honest but told him she's voting him out. Katherine told him "I still don't know what the fuck I'm doing, I don't really have anything to say" when he asked about her vote. He said he can be beneficial to her game (the most valuable campaign pitch in BB, or life, but rarely used) because people will put her up with Rylie "regardless if you're a showmance or not," and he said he'll fight to prevent that from happening. She agreed to let him teach her to play chess, reluctantly it seemed. It didn't help her enthusiasm when Adrian made the common mistake of trying to explain chess strategies right off the bat when she was just learning how the pieces move, but she kind of settled in and they played for awhile.

The leafy jackets and hats we saw were just part of the veto comp costumes: players were actually potted plants. They were camouflaged against a hedge background, with only their faces visible, where they had to hold two buttons. Felicia appeared in videos with an overabundance of words starting with CR and when she said the word CREEPER players had to hop down lanes to hit a button. The only mystery theme tie-in was that Felicia was supposedly a mystery celebrity hiding out in Hotel Mystère. The best video was the last one, where she rattled off one of her famous shopping lists to Mister B, this time for lasagna. It was a nice throwback and reminder of how fun she was on feeds. The drawn player was Ava and Kaycee was the mystery alum player for Keanu, which we knew. Kelley and Ava went out on the first and second rounds for finishing last, Jimmy and Keanu went out in the next two rounds for letting go of their buttons, and Kaycee beat Adrian in the last round in a photo finish.

 

Kelley completed her puzzle within her two-minute time limit, which we also knew. She did it in the gym while the others watched on the living room monitor. It wasn't difficult. Jimmy put up Will as his second renom "with a lot of sadness" even though he said he hates that stuff when he watches the show, and said he wouldn't do it as HOH.

Amy said all the gametalk in there is crazy and she didn't expect that. She didn't do much of it to save herself, and Vince told Lauren that Amy wants to go home. I didn't see Will do a lot of campaigning but Adrian put in a lot of work which was good to see. Lauren surprised many by announcing she's a horror movie fan and she proved it by rattling off a number of obscure titles along with well known ones. She also dropped a number of hints about not wanting to be a Have-not next week, saying she couldn't afford to lose any weight. Rachel told Ava she doesn't have anyone and she pitched a ride-or-die-to-the-end F2. Ava was surprised and asked "are you serious?" but we didn't get an answer because Jimmy came along just then. Kelley (messy chaos queen) told Jimmy that Ashley said she'd put him up if she wins HOH. Jimmy then told Morgan he was upset about that, and he should have put her up this week. (It's not like he didn't have several chances to do so.) Then he asked Mickey if Ashley's been trashing him and Mickey said she didn't know, and he should ask Ashley. And Jimmy started calling Ashley and various others "power flockers" which is as good a term as any for floaters, since Rachel confused that one all those years ago.

A feast was prepared for Amy, Mickey, Rachel to come off their week of slop (Rachel's second week), with Jimmy and Morgan dressed up to serve as waiters Jeeves and Garçon. Ava and Ashley sang a Slop Queens song at midnight and most were present for the occasion, including us which was surprising and refreshing after another day with way too much WBRB. Jeeves and Garçon made a loud show of quitting (mostly Jimmy/Jeeves) partway through the meal. Kelley came along to complain about the noise, and said the two who have to compete tomorrow need their sleep. This while Amy was right there - oof. It was discussed later by Vince and Ava, among others.

I'm still not actively counting votes til there are fewer of them but I think Adrian or Will will stay over Amy. If she wins Block Buster and it's Adrian versus Will I'm not sure, and I don't want to think about it as I don't want to lose either of them yet, but Amy's not bringing much so she can go and be home by July 31 to get her job back.

Day 15 - Tuesday - July 22, 2025

Adrian told Kelley there are people who transcribe feeds convos and he tried to come up with funny things to say to (further) complicate that task, like the 'Adrian said X said Y said Z said such and such' lines that already make our heads spin, adding "imagine that for like a whole hour." This the kind of thing that makes me hope he survives the week. He finally got his get-around going, adding Ashley to his gametalk rounds along with Kelley. They're arguably the two least influential hamsters in there, but baby steps. Fortunately Mickey joined him and Ashley. Ashley said he should talk to the big fish and it will trickle down to the little fish, and Mickey said to talk to the people who voted with him last week. He also met with Morgan who said there are five people she'd put up before him, and that she'll probably keep Adrian over Amy but not over Will. Later Adrian met with Katherine and gave a good pitch asking for at least a hint which way she's leaning, but she didn't give him much. And Kelley and Morgan had a hammock gametalk. Kelley said she didn't appreciate everyone saying she threw comp(s). Morgan said she hopes Rachel stays awhile, as a shield, and she threw in some anti-Katherine comments. Kelley said she likes Katherine.

Cheering sections gathered for Adrian and Will lifting weights, and Elissa's sister led another yoga class. Unexpendables (Keanu, Rylie, Vince) met in the pantry with a lot of bravado and not much substance. Heavy Hitters less Rylie (Jimmy, Morgan, Rachel, Vince, Zach) met in HOH and made it sound like Rylie might be permanently excluded from that alliance. They discussed the vote at length, but we know from Zach telling us yesterday that he's adamant about keeping Adrian, and Morgan's unaware of that. Zach is very good about not cross-spilling his alliances and thoughts with various people, and Vince is very good about whoever he's with believing he's 100% with them, so it's hard to be sure if anything really came from this meeting besides Rylie's expulsion. Jimmy and Morgan probably talk the most of that group, and neither is very careful about covering their tracks. Rachel's also doing well game-wise (other than everyone knowing she's the ultimate target), and she knows which convos are likely to make the episodes, and dresses for them. Later Zach told Morgan that Jimmy should move way up their target list (to the top) as evidenced by his many lies this week. Keanu told Vince and Zach "Morgan's got to go," Zach said he has a good relationship with her, and Keanu said "yeah but do you really talk much game with her?" Keanu's cluelessness is supreme high comedy.

Evening brought some comedy, most of it unintentional, and a lot of it at Katherine's expense. She and Lauren had a power players meeting in HOH about who they'd like to work with, but I don't think anything was decided. Lauren's more allied than Katherine but I don't think Katherine knows that. Later Katherine launched into a hula-like dance while gametalking with Jimmy, which was different. Kelley and Rylie had a gametalk in the yard, with Kelley asking how he feels about Katherine, adding "nobody trusts her." Rylie seemed surprised, and Kelley added Morgan doesn't like Katherine at all and is coming for her. The funny part is they were shouting this across the backyard, Kelley on the balcony and Rylie in the hammock. Yep. Ashley, Mickey, Will grumbled about Katherine staring across the yard at them, and when Morgan joined, the four of them did some Showergate retells and reminiscing about that. They decided Katherine was the one who turned that into a big thing but really that was Kelley, and Katherine just caught more strays.

Retells about Keanu claiming he's running the house and that he ran this HOH made the rounds, making everyone who heard it laugh or groan. Vince told Zach that Ashley told him Kelley had been pitching new alliances, and quoting Rachel, and that Vince and Zach are close and working together because they have cereal together late at night. Both guys were resentful about that which is rich, since they are close and working together, but rather than deciding to be stealthier, they made plans to get Ashley out. (Maybe that was also Kelley's handiwork, I don't know.) Rylie continued professing his love (but not explicitly saying so, that I heard) to Katherine, and she continued not reciprocating, and not responding directly to various questions or comments. Jimmy washed Mickey's feet in the HOH bathtub and then rubbed them afterward, while gossiping about Ashley, among others. General complaints making the rounds included Adrian going through too much bread with his multiple PB&J sandwiches every day, a lack of chips, and ongoing Amy gripes about being a Have-not.

Day 14 - Monday - July 21, 2025

Adrian stayed up alone overnight for a very long time talking to himself/us. He said he's worried about this week's outcome (obviously) but he plans to win the Blockbuster. He said he wants Rachel to go and he'd take that shot, but he doesn't want to win this HOH. I still don't know if he's a serious fan or feedster, or a casual, or a recruit who focused only on comps when he watched some seasons or episodes but regardless, his social game is absent and he's going to need to step that up in a big way if he hopes to be here after Thursday. I hope he does. It's great to talk to us about the game, but he needs to talk to them.

Jimmy met with Amy to give her the bad news she'd be going up, which she already knew. He assured her she'll be safe against Adrian or Kelley, and he reran his tired spiel about five nominees and how he doesn't want more blood on his hands by putting up someone new to the block. Obviously that didn't go over too well with Amy and she did attempt a little pushback, but it wasn't enough. And he told her he has another target (Will) in mind for Kelley's spot if she comes down. Amy asked if that's the case, why not put up that target first rather than her? A very valid question, which brought Jimmy back to his feeble bloody hands excuse.

Feeds went to adoptable anipals around 11.15am for almost two hours for the veto meeting, which turned out to be just the regular one. Keanu took himself down with Kaycee's veto and Jimmy replaced him with Amy, as planned. Kelley hadn't played her challenge yet so maybe that and/or the second veto meeting if she wins will be held over for Thursday's show. Kelley said "wouldn't it be funny if I won, and I took Amy off?" Yes, yes it would.

Rachel started cleaning the filthy bathroom, wearing a skirt and heels. Jimmy joined in, along with Zach who didn't seem overly familiar with a broom, and Keanu who cleaned the toilet. Rachel led some griping about Ashley not doing anything household-wise, adding "it's giving princess, and I thought I was the princess." Ashley came along and conversation turned to childhood chores. She said she didn't have any other than to clean her room and bathroom, and she seemed surprised to hear others did. Rachel said it's surprising she cleaned her bathroom sink since she doesn't do that here, and she always leaves hair in it. Ashley wasn't happy to hear that, but she attempted some swiffering, probably leaving the floor looking like it had a giant asterisk on it. Cleaninggate retells ensued of course, and Keanu pushed Jimmy to put up Rachel if/when Kelley comes off, calling her conniving "for lack of a better word." Multiple psst-psst gatherings about the second renom, the vote, and next week carried on. Rachel found a magnifying glass and started hunting for clues, and discovered the phone has a dial tone.

Anipals amused us for another hour and change for Kelley to do her challenge, which she won. It was some kind of puzzle assembly with eight pieces, maybe Kaitlyn-style? A second veto meeting was held, Kelley took herself off the block, and Jimmy put up Will in her place. That's three nominees heading into Thursday who Jimmy explicitly guaranteed safety to at the start of his HOH, whew. Will wasn't surprised but he wasn't pleased, and he commiserated with Amy about it, and how silly it was for either of them to be considered threats to the youngsters. There was a lot of angry whispering here and there by various people in various convos that I didn't really tune in to, but I think I also heard some talk about Kelley's instigating and stirring up trouble? I'm not sure about that though - maybe wishful thinking on my part.

Jimmy ran the usual regret loops, and said he's glad to have some of the powers flushed out for future HOHs, like he made his nome for some altruistic purpose. Adrian sat down to teach chess to Kelley, continuing his reluctance to gametalk or otherwise help his cause. Kelley later called Will Pop-Pop which I haven't heard before, and then Ashley did too. I hope that doesn't stick but knowing hamsters, it will. Keanu, Rylie, Vince formalized (maybe reformalized) The Unexpendables and jumped up and down together in the pantry about it.

Evening brought a rap challenge group game, and a lot of intense gametalks, mostly from Morgan. She whispered with Mickey, and Ava, and Zach, and various others at length. Much length. I didn't listen to any of them - sorry, but it's been a solid week of feeds now and I have to pace myself, and I doubt anything permanent will come from most of it. And if it does, we'll hear about it again. And again. Lauren and Ava called themselves the Bond Girls, complete with a back-to-back gun-totin' pose. After a lengthy Morgan/Zach whisper session, Zach talked to us (a lot of that going on lately) and said he'd like to tell Morgan how close he and Adrian are, and that Adrian has to stay, but he can't because of all the intermingled alliances. Zach later told a group "we've gotten significantly less funny since the game got real." Yes, we've noticed. Feeds got to be pretty much unwatchable again with way too many cuts to WBRB that played for way too long. It's annoying, insulting, and just plain rude.

The feeds had pretty good uptime when they finally started and they stayed pretty good. WBRB blocks weren't too frequent but more importantly, they were mostly quick. Then came Thursday night when they didn't come back after the show ended in the east, or the west. They didn't come back til almost midnight. I get they had to do the HOH comp, and it turned out to be a fun one, but not fun enought to lock us out for six hours after the credits rolled. Since then, Hypersensitive Weekend Skippy has been on the button, making for a difficult and frustrating watching experience. That button-pusher should be transferred to restocking TP and band-aids duty. And yes, their main (only) priority is the air show, but they really should stop jerking us feedsters around so much.

He may have built a home version of the wall comp but he doesn't seem aware there's a lot more to BB than comps. I wanted to root for him but he's making it difficult by nearly isolating himself while on the block, and that's probably a factor in how rapidly he went from guaranteed pawn to potential target. I still hope he stays, but he really needs to step it up.

A two-time pawn star, she can go anytime, as she doesn't bring much to the game or the feeds other than a lot of complaining and being Rachel's plus-one. Rachel's made absolutely no secret of that and has gone out on a few limbs to protect Amy, which hasn't helped Amy at all since most of them know Rachel has to go if they want a shot at getting to the end. And it's all made worse because a good chunk of Amy's complaints are about Rachel.

It's been said the people who are cast are generally the focal point in their social groups, but when faced with 16 other focal points, not everyone can be in the spotlight. I have a feeling that's the case with her as she's usually quiet in big groups, but she's coming alive more and more in small groups, and when on her own with us. She's coming up with A LOT of great lines and reactions, and I hope to see more and more of that as the numbers dwindle.

He clearly missed Julie's 'expect the unexpected' tagline since he had issues with powers getting thrown into his HOH week, and he remains ignorant to the fact that there were five nominees once before, and six once before that. His HOH has been a shambles since he's now got three people on the block he explicitly guaranteed safety to, and that math isn't going to math come Thursday. I'll give him credit for being the only entertainer in there, even though he seems to do it more for attention than to entertain us, but at least he's putting some effort in here and there. Also, see Vince.

She's ruffling some feathers in there and not impressing many out here. She and Lauren probably don't realize they're 'extras' but at least they're enjoying summer camp, and it's nice to do that with a buddy. Katherine's my prime suspect in the table re-setting mystery, but I haven't caught her in the act yet.

Kelley Jorgensen - 29

She's the ultimate messy chaos queen who instigated virtually every storyline of the first week. I don't care that she can be annoying or bratty, or that she thinks she can play Tucker's game while lacking his social skills and charisma, never mind being blissfully unaware that he was a total anomaly for this setting. If/when she goes, the feeds will get just a little more dull, and Team Fun Feeds is already starting to look into hospice plans.

See Katherine, with the added note that Lauren's in more power alliances, but she's not the power in them. Despite that, it's just a matter of time til both of them start getting furniture memes.

She's proving to be one to watch since she's active in the game but not enough to draw negative attention, she's shown she's got brains and strategy, and she's enjoying herself in there more often than not. She got the best power in the HOH comp and while she should have kept it to herself, she only told Morgan as far as I know, and I don't think it's spread much further. I hope she ends up using it because the really great powers usually flop, and it'd be nice to see one play out as intended.

Some think she's driving the game but I think that's giving her a little too much credit. She does well with the seeds that get planted with her, and she's well-allied, but I think she inserts too many catty comments and personal background analogies to her gametalks, and she says too much and talks too long, for her game to be sustainable for the long term. And she really needs to get over Keanu calling her a snake and leave that back in Week 1. It's time to move on.

Hoover, AL (orig Concord, NC via Las Vegas, NV)

Her growth since she played before is huge, and impressive. She still brings in the diva sometimes but it's more in a campy way as a character now, which makes it fun. Her social game has been really good (extremely good compared to old Rachel), but between Amy and Keanu, she didn't choose her goats/mentees/sidekicks well and it might be too late to reassess now. Adrian's just sitting there waiting to be scooped up, but he might not be there for long.

I know for a fact the main allegation against him out here isn't true, but it's in the lore now anyway, and it's non-game and none of my business, so 'it is what it is.' Meanwhile he represents that peculiar situation that happens more often than seems likely: he's largely despised out here but mostly liked in there.

He nominated and sent an ally home on his HOH when there were umpteen others to choose from, but like Jimmy this week, it's hard to target anyone when you're allied with everyone. Also like Jimmy, he's a very good liar but he doesn't stress his (false) honesty as much as Jimmy, so he's getting away with it better. As of now.

He's arguably playing the best game at the moment but like many of them, I don't know how sustainable it is to be in so many interwoven alliances with practically everyone. But he's better about keeping his mouth shut about those many alliances than most, and he's the only one who hasn't spilled about the power he's sitting on. I'm not sure if he's still smitten with Lauren or not, but he's shown he doesn't feel the same about Morgan as she does about him, so we'll see how all that plays out. Either way, production is almost guaranteed to make more of his showmance life than what's really there.

1st evicted - Day 10

It's nice to get a brojock out early, especially first, and between constantly exhibiting his muscles and his smarts, he didn't do much to help prevent that. He didn't lay down to die when he hit the block so that's something, but he campaigned repetitively and relentlessly, holding voters hostage for hours at a time and talking 100 mph at them without pausing for breath. He landed himself on TMZ and tangled with Rachel, and that's about all he'll be remembered for.

GAME TWISTS

Day 1: Rachel joined the cast and the game.

Day 1: Amy was a secret accomplice. She wasn't identified by a majority of players (or any of them) so remained in the game.

Day 1: Zach won $10k in Find Julie move-in comp. If he's on the block after veto meeting any week before jury, he can buy safety. HOH will get the $10k and have to name another nominee.

Day 1: Rachel had first week immunity and automatic Have-not. The other HNs (Ava, Will, Zach) also had immunity.

Day 10: Keanu won Mystery Competitor in HOH comp: an alum will play veto on his behalf if he's on the block, before jury.
 > Used Day 12: Kaycee played for him, and won.

Day 10: Kelley won Mystery Veto in HOH comp: can play an individual challenge to win a second veto to save herself or someone else on the block, before jury.
 > Used Day 14: won her challenge and took herself off the block.

Day 10: Mickey won HOH Interrogation in HOH comp: can anonymously dethrone reigning HOH, who can interrogate everyone and make an official guess who did it. If correct, they're back to HOH and if not, she reveals herself and becomes HOH, before jury.
