Info on how to watch will be posted when we get there. Daily Feeds RecapsDay 18 - Friday - July 25, 2025 Overnight there were many, many more meetings about today's noms, and Rachel fell out of a Have-not bed and moved to the bunk bed room. I don't know why she was still sleeping in the crime scene room - maybe she just felt settled after two weeks in there. Lauren's nom plans this morning were still Keanu, Kelley, Will but as meetings carried on, she started having doubts. A lot of them. And several breakdowns because she didn't know what to do, and she said that to most of them. Kelley told her she has to be okay with any of her nominees going home, and she again said she was okay being one of them, adding she liked the idea because it would throw people off about how close they are, and because it's a potential tie week. ![]() Will found out last night he was an option and naturally he didn't like hearing that. When Lauren approached him today to let him know he was probably her pick for the third spot, she was surprised that he already knew. After their talk, Lauren went to HOH and cried, and Ashley joined to comfort her and remind her it's the game, somebody has to go up, etc etc. Back downstairs, Ashley gave yet another shockface when she found out why Lauren was crying, that Will was probably going to go up. ![]() Keanu, the only certain block candidate, told Vince that Lauren would be dumb to put him up and he sounded like he didn't think she would. Lauren told Mickey she didn't want anyone to feel like a perpetual pawn, even as she planned on nominating three people who'd already been on the block. Meetings raged on and included Mickey pushing Lauren to put up Ashley, Ava pushing for Ashley, Zach pushing for Ashley (after originally pushing for Adrian), and Kelley pushing for Jimmy. Lauren summoned Ava for advice, but Ava said she'd be okay with Will as it was Lauren's HOH and her decision, and she comforted Lauren having yet another breakdown. (Last night Ava said her "Long Island will come out" if Will goes on the block.) Lauren also sought counsel from her bestie Katherine about being undecided between Will and Adrian for the #3 spot, but Katherine didn't have much solid input either. Feeds went to adoptable anipals a little before 3pm. It could be a long one, between having to give Diary an actual decision so they could have the pics ready to pop up, and maybe breaking down during the ceremony. But *record scratch* no, they came back around 4.30pm, which is pretty quick for this early in a season. Lauren put up Keanu, Kelley, Will as painfully planned, and virtually decided by 10pm last night, so all the angst overnight and today was for nothing, except to wind everyone up. Will looked grouchy in the backyard and a couple of people told Lauren "don't go out there" yet, but then Will grinned and told Mickey he was putting on a show, adding "I ain't going nowhere." Points. I watched BB Unlocked and thought it wasn't bad, especially with guest host (and longtime Hamsterwatch Twitter follower) Bobby Moynihan on the panel. Some sports guy did a pre-season fantasy draft with Chelsie, Taylor, Derrick that ran too long (for me), but he dropped some trivia like the first-in curse and historical odds for the first HOH and cowboy hat wearers. Amy was also a guest to review her season and eviction, and Nicole F had a taped Wine or Whine segment. A lot of people have strong opinions about both Derrick and Taylor but I thought both did a good job. They kept things moving along and struck a good balance between serious and casual/fun. "Unseen footage" included a montage of Diary comments about sharing a bathroom and shower. Bingeworthy or Cringeworthy was a fun segment, especially the montage of Ava shockfaces to John Philip Sousa music. And they also had Ava's reaction in Diary to Rachel pitching a ride-or-die F2 to her - she was less than enthusiastic. Kelley tried to stir up some more trouble by telling half a dozen or more of them that Rachel and Keanu had a spat early this morning, but nobody cared. Morgan and Vince had a marathon hammock chat about the game, and their lives and backgrounds. Adrian asked Lauren her thoughts about him playing veto if his chip is drawn, or if he's picked for a Houseguest Choice. He said he didn't think it would benefit him to use veto on Kelley if he wins, and not doing so would take the focus off those two being close. And he said he'd like to use it on Will, but either would require another nomination by Lauren. She didn't offer much input to his potential dilemma. And they mentioned that another power's still floating around out there. Adrian said he hasn't heard anything specific but he suspects Mickey has it, and Lauren agreed. Ava said she had a dream that didn't have any BB references but the entire cast was going to take a roadtrip and they couldn't bring their phones. That used to be a real show, called Road Rules. Adrian talked a lot about wood. Ava and Morgan had a lengthy gametalk. Rylie and Keanu said Rachel tried to cheat the HOH comp by taking notes, but had to turn them in. Katherine complained a lot about being a slopper, after less than 24 hours. Quite a contrast to Rachel who did two weeks without a peep, and she's also been prepping slop and other things for Katherine and Jimmy, plus garlic bread and other food for the rest. Ashley, Mickey, Rachel, Zach had a silly session with a lot of laughing. Lauren told Zach she'll put up Ashley if a renom is needed, but we can be sure it won't be as simple as that if/when the time comes. Rylie and Vince had a lengthy gametalk about this and future weeks, with Rylie wanting to target the women who aren't named Katherine.Reminder, subscribers to my Patreon get my daily write-ups via email every night.

Day 17 - Thursday - July 24, 2025 Morning kicked off with Kelley resetting the dining table, so that case is probably solved, unless someone else does it as well. Rylie startled Katherine in the bathroom, then gave her a big hug from behind. And a bit later he gave her another hug face to face. That one was reciprocated - she threw her arms around him, but then he gave her a little butt pat, and then he "adjusted" himself as he headed to the shower. We know he's head over heels for her, but we still have no indication how she feels about him. He did offer the win to her if the two of them go to the end which may or may not be a factor in how she acts with him in there. I'm hoping we get a Diary soon from her to get some clarity on the situation. Toiletries kits for each of them arrived and Thursday grooming rituals began, along with the inevitable psst-pssting and planning for the new week (all of which will start over when the new regime begins).The episode recap announcer said "Ms Jorgensen came off the blockensen" for Kelley's bonus veto, which was weird to start with but they normally don't mention last names on the show, making it even weirder. Julie wore another simple but stylish summery dress, this time in ecru, and most of the hamsters were in pinks, per Jimmy's suggestion. The edits had Lauren of all people explaining the house hierarchy in Diary (which she did inaccurately and incompletely), and they ran a complicated segment about voting plan discussions depending on who wins the Block Buster, and that was only a tiny percentage of those convos that were on feeds. Rachel acknowledged in a Diary segment that Amy was indeed her intended F2 goat, as suspected, while also making it clear they'd genuinely grown close. She should have been quieter about that, for longer, as they also showed some resentment from Amy about being targeted due to their association. The one time we would like a showmance-ish segment and related Diaries to find out Katherine's thoughts about Rylie, they didn't do it. ![]() The Block Buster comp was Puzzling Prints. They had to transfer 12 over-size puzzle pieces to assemble a fingerprint floor puzzle, as we saw earlier today from Julie's demo. Adrian won and saved himself. Julie told them to strategize after the awkward re-entry by the players, like she does, but instead it was hugs all around, and Rachel tears - once a staple of her seasons - arrived to this one. Everyone knew it was curtains for Amy if she didn't win it. Nominee speeches weren't unusual, with Amy complimenting Will and being grateful for the opportunity, and Will starting with "HEY JULIE," complimenting Amy and the rest, and giving shoutouts to his family including his wife "my chocolate drop Gwen." When he sat down, Julie surprised them and us by asking if she's his lemon drop? It was a good line. Amy was evicted unanimously, and came out with smiles and a good attitude. Julie showed her several of her farewell messages including one from the Mastermind masked dude, who said "if only you were as skilled at the game of Big Brother as you were as my accomplice." It was a cute touch. Then it was a promo for BB Unlocked which premieres tomorrow night. Derrick and Taylor joined Julie onstage and Derrick said "BB Unlocked will be your one-stop shop for everything Big Brother." RIP the days when he used to give me a nightly shoutout and talk about visiting this (one-stop shop) site regularly. Julie referred to the mystery theme and him being a former detective which yes, he was, but she neglected to mention he's been doing true crime TV for awhile now. The show sounded like it might have some fun segments, and they teased the first episode's guest as a superfan, familiar with live TV, with a red cape and a red frying pan clues. The frying pan would indicate Josh or Evel Dick, but Dick's in Ireland. Unless it's not a former player, which would be truly refreshing. I'll go with Bobby Moynihan. He did SNL, some Marvel work and some cooking shows, and he is a BB fan. And @kelsee.bsky.social came in clutch by reminding us he visited in BB19 to host a comp, banging pots and pans. Feeds came back around 9pm and Lauren had won the HOH. It sounded like the comp was questions about detailed videos, and most of them went out early. Jimmy told her he's happy to offer advice if needed, and she then met with Vince who made the same offer, and over-congratulated her and boosted her up to the sky. It was pretty transparent but she was enjoying her win so probably didn't notice. They talked tentative noms and Jimmy walked in to the room, saying he should have knocked (yep). He stayed and Keanu, Kelley, Will were the first round probable picks. Will's in the Bond alliance with Lauren, but she later told Zach she's never talked game with him once. Lauren was called to Diary and came out to read a card that outgoing Have-nots would pick the new ones for this week. Mickey picked Jimmy and Rachel picked Katherine. I'm pretty sure those two were planning on it this week anyway, as volunteers. Rachel caught Lauren for a quick moment to tell her to do what she wants or Jimmy will take credit for her HOH.. or Vince. Mickey, Morgan, Vince complained about Keanu leaving things in every room (as if he's Popup Andy and doing it so he can pop into game convos), and they said they should call him WD for Watch Dog. Meanwhile Jimmy is a legit Popup Andy, and he popped into that convo. Rachel also joined and they all laughed about Kelley claiming she's good at the game, among other things. (Yes her game is a red hot mess but she's still there after being an original nom and a renom.) Meanwhile Kelley was telling Lauren she really trusts Vince, and if her name comes up a lot in meetings she'd be okay going on the block again. She also confessed her BB Instigator career to Lauren, who said she should keep doing that stuff. Rylie continued his problematic day by killing some ants. Lauren met with Zach and said she didn't really want HOH but she's fine with having won it. And he said people have been throwing Katherine's name a lot, to which Lauren said she thought so but she couldn't put her up because they're friends, even though they aren't aligned game-wise. Ava joined and the three of them debated who the third nom should be next to Keanu and Kelley, and decided it might have to be a Bond member, likely Will. Lauren got her room around 11.40pm and everyone went up to see, including Will who'd passed out earlier. She read her letter from her mom, and shared her family pics, and went through all her food and clothes and snacks. Her music was Beyoncé and her booze was White Claw. Lauren had told Zach and Ava earlier that she'd like to have a Bond meeting but Will goes to bed too early. That meeting might have happened after the room event but several left early and then the yard opened, so most everyone scattered. Vince lingered to talk noms again, but Kelley also joined so conversation was back to Lauren's pics and smalltalk, and Kelley mentioned Rachel warning Lauren about Vince. Adrian then joined as well, and Ava, and Katherine came along to get a pillow for her Have-not bed. Noms seem set on Keanu and Kelley, with the third still debatable but chances are it'll be Will. It will become clear tomorrow. A Bond meeting may yet happen - if so, I'll catch it up tomorrow.Reminder, subscribers to my Patreon get my daily write-ups via email every night.
