Info on how to watch will be posted when we get there. Daily Feeds RecapsDay 23 - Wednesday - July 30, 2025 Katherine participated and played along as Rachel talked about her and Rylie's showmance and suggested ship names. We really need a Katherine Diary to find out her thoughts on this situation. Rachel got dressed up and camera-ready so she may have something up her sleeve for a segment on tomorrow's show? We'll find out. Morgan dressed up like Vince and they walked through the kitchen, with Jimmy introducing them theatrically "it's Vince and Vince!" The kitchen crew didn't seem amused. Adrian told himself/us he'd an epiphany, which he explained to Vince as everyone wants to take Rachel to the end for a win, and some talk about big fish, and Keanu, and he said everyone sees Morgan, Vince, Zach as a trio. Vince said he didn't understand why they would. Will may have relapsed a bit, hinting that he won't be able to win the Block Buster and he might be okay with leaving. Kelley said her social battery was (finally) depleting.Vote whispers and waffling continued unchecked. As of now, Kelley would probably go if she's on the block. If she wins the Block Buster, Adrian would probably go versus Will. But that could also be a tie and poor Lauren doesn't want to have to break it. Nevermind that she put all three of them on the block, and whoever stays would likely be grateful to her for keeping them. Me, I'm hoping for a tie because I want Julie to put on her stern voice and tell Lauren she needs an answer. While the marathon veto/movie episode was on, Ashley, Mickey, Will formed yet another new alliance: Peach Cobbler, and Keanu talked at Rachel for a very long time in the gym. Ava went to do some elliptical in there while Keanu was still "heavy breathing" (per himself). He asked if she knows how she's voting and she said she'll go with the house. (She's definitely keeping Will.) Keanu asked who is the house, and she said everyone changes their minds all the time. Ava left, Adrian arrived, and Keanu told him it's looking good for him, that he'd talked to Rachel for a long time and "opened her eyes to what's going on." He said he thinks he got both Rachel and Jimmy to vote with them. In the bunk bed room, someone asked who was upstairs having an ice cream party and Rachel said "Katherine, Rylie, Zach, Lauren, Morgan and Vince.. it's a triple date - oh wait, did I say that out loud?" Yes, yes she did. It sounded like Ashley still hasn't pooped. Afternoon rolled into evening, with vote talks breaking out regularly but remaining undecided - or unspoken, anyway. Keanu laid out his master plan to Vince and Jimmy, who let him talk, and when he left Vince said "he's so wrong about so much." Zach and Ashley did some flirting. Rachel made lasagna and burgers, which I thought was for a midnight feast when Have-nots end, but it was served around 9pm. Mickey, Morgan, Rachel watched from HOH and said Keanu took gobs of lasagna then put some back, and messed up the tray, and he took the heart-shaped burger that Rylie made for Katherine, but he was told to put that back. I think all the lasagna disappeared and just this sad greasy burger patty was left. I don't know if it's supposed to be the heart-shaped one or not. Jimmy griped once again about people who don't clean up, and threatened to hold a house meeting about it. But like most things this season, that led to nothing. Kelley told Lauren she'd go to bed early without campaigning, but Lauren suggested she make a few pitches at least. As far as I can tell, not much changed since this morning, even after 100 discussions. Kelley will likely go if she doesn't win the Block Buster. If she does, the vote could be 8-4 Adrian goes, or a 6-6 tie for Lauren to break. Vince and Zach are the two undecided votes, or at least the declining-to-say since both are straddling multiple alliances on all sides. Ava gave Zach a whispery smackdown in the pantry, questioning why Katherine, Keanu, Kelley, Rylie would vote together this week, and asking why he and Vince would vote with the house targets, adding "let them vote to keep Adrian and they'll be the first four on the block." They agreed to talk it over tomorrow. Midnight finally arrived among much kitchen silliness. Ashley, Ava, Rachel sang the Slop Queens song, Jimmy started snacking, and Katherine came downstairs a couple minutes later to do the same.If you missed what came before, click "Previous Hamsterwatch episode" up top, or hit my season index page.

Day 22 - Tuesday - July 29, 2025 It's a day ending in Y so Keanu and Rachel went another round in the gym. This one was mostly Keanu who pitched another big alliance to go to F6 or F7, saying Rachel's in the middle and should pick his side to roll with. She said "I think you should count your friends" and he said she should too, and she said she thinks Vince is lying to Keanu's face. Keanu said he thinks Rachel has his back so she "wouldn't be telling me that just to bullshit me." And Keanu told her "I understand the irony of what I'm about to say, for lack of a better phrase, you're in the middle, floating." He said it with a chuckle and she gave a quick eyeroll. Afterwards, Keanu told himself/us he's betting on himself rather than her as far as knowing what's going on in there, and then he gave himself a peptalk to a mirror about his muscle definition coming along, as if he was one of his training clients. Later Keanu retold his Rachel convo a few times, including to Vince, and he said Rachel's clueless about what's going on in the game. I thank Keanu every day for helping to make this season the comedy show I'd hoped it would be. Keanu's next round was with Mickey, in the pantry. There was a lot of back and forth about things she's heard that he said, including she's cooking her way to the win, which he denied, and she asked that if he wants to know if she said something to just come to her and ask. Instead of saying okay, he started up his denials again and they went several rounds before he finally apologized. Throughout this, hamsters kept parading into the pantry one by one to seek out lunch items, and Kelley listened at the door for some of it. Later Morgan told Vince she'd caught her doing that. Rachel cleaned the bathroom again, in a designer dress, and Jimmy helped. Later they were counting votes with strawberries in the bathroom, Kelley came along, and they acted like they were playing some game with the berries, taking turns. Lauren told Zach that he and Vince are her top priorities going forward. Zach said at the beginning he was attracted to her since she's exactly his type, and later he told several he'd learned about the first-in curse (in Diary I think), adding "I'm still here." Morgan had a very extended game and personal backgrounds chat with Adrian. Rachel and Adrian finally had a talk that danced around working together, but it didn't go anywhere on either side. It was awkward and cringey, and when they wrapped it up Adrian jetted out of there before any awkward post-talk hugs could happen. Ashley and Mickey had a very small spat about retelling things but they patched it up quickly and easily, and did end with a hug. Vince and Zach both mentioned the F3 pitch Lauren made to each of them, but they didn't say more on that. They did agree they want Ashley out soonish, and definitely before jury. They both seemed relieved to hear the other agreed on that. Adrian and Lauren had another awkward, stilted talk that I couldn't listen to - I still haven't recovered from the last few talks between those two. Ava and Ashley agreed paranoia in the game is the downfall of many players past and present. Also, Ashley said she hasn't pooped for five days. Jimmy and Zach talked to Mickey about bringing her into an alliance and shortly after, the three of them plus Morgan, Rachel, Vince formalized Heavy Hitters (2.0) in the gym with shadow-boxing punches rather than the usual hands-in. This is the same configuration as the original Heavy Hitters except Rylie was eliminated, and Mickey was brought in. Vince let some things slip that the average casual doesn't necessarily know in an HOH chat with Lauren and Morgan, including Victor having a crush on Nicole in their season while she was showmancing someone else, and then he went on to marry her, and how James ruined every blindside he ever met. Keanu and Kelley had a chat on the stairs and agreed Rachel doesn't know what she's doing. Vince shmoozed Lauren in HOH for a very, very long time, Mickey told a story about her cheating ex, Keanu kept acting like he's a puppetmaster, and others kept retelling his claims and plans.If you missed what came before, click "Previous Hamsterwatch episode" up top, or hit my season index page.

Day 21 - Monday - July 28, 2025 Lauren's inability to make a decision carried on. I came in this morning to her telling Mickey it's all so hard, she should have backdoored Keanu but instead he's saying she made a pre-noms deal with him to backdoor Ashley. Mickey said it's okay, and she pushed for Adrian renom saying he's with Keanu a lot, and something's weird there, and they prayed. Lauren was called to Diary to lock in her renom for the veto meeting but Zach got in to HOH for a final word. She told him the girls are going to believe the Keanu story if she puts up Ashley, and Zach said Ashley said Lauren told her she's safe. Lauren said "she has a way of forcing you what to say." Vince joined and both guys said they prefer Ashley go, but they have Lauren's back in their trio regardless. Vince said that Ashley said "they're guaranteeing three weeks of safety" and Lauren clarified that Ashley had offered her safety until jury, if she doesn't go up today. Lauren fell back to worrying if Ashley will hate her if she goes up or if Kelley will hate her if Adrian goes up, and the guys told her Adrian was crying about it last night (true). When the adoptable anipals took them away just before 11am, she still didn't know what she was going to do. Keanu took himself off the block, and Lauren put up Adrian in his place. I called that one wrong (oop) but I'm not surprised. Between Keanu's big self-sabotaging mouth, successful tag-teaming by Ashley, Mickey, Morgan, and neither Vince nor Zach being willing to tell Lauren what to do, she was actually and finally swayed from her original Ashley plan, after days of the biggest HOH waffling we've ever seen. By doing so, Lauren killed what was left of the Bond alliance after putting up both Will and Adrian, but Ava may have slid into Lauren's place in the (former?) Lauren/Vince/Zach trio. Fallout wasn't severe after the veto meeting but it was chaotic. Kelley guilt-tripped Lauren, and said the girls were "bullies"; Kelley told Keanu the "bully" word had been used about him which set him off; Adrian went into panic mode; Keanu went into delusional mode; and Vince went into hyperdrive Pop Up Andy mode. He finally got a bit of alone time with Lauren who said she would have put up Ashley if Vince had told her to, but he wouldn't give her an answer. Vote promises kicked off here and there, likely some truthfully and others not so much. Will wasn't seen much through all that, and then he went for a nap. Afternoon and evening slowed way down from the frantic pace of the last few days (weeks), with more general chat than we usually have, along with some whispery convos about the vote and plans for next week. But as I often say, it's only Monday and way too soon for me to track all that. Will remained more or less absent and whispers started stirring about him wanting to quit (or be voted out). He told Rachel and Ashley "I'm not gonna freak out" and they said they need him to clock back in, "something is stirring." The WBRBs started coming fast and frequently, but there were a couple of super-fast blips during those that showed him in the bathroom surrounded by Rachel, Morgan, Mickey, Ashley, all of whom have been fighting to keep him there this week. Flashback to pre-season Will who said "some of the contestants moan and complain about I want to go home, I miss my mom, I miss my family, I miss my wife, my kid - you knew all that stuff when you signed up." He's seemed more disgruntled at being the kicked-around everlasting pawn star than missing home the last few days, but same applies. Elsewhere Katherine's feet were slung over Rylie's legs in a group convo, and he picked at her knee. Will rebounded and joined a group game guessing game, then ate dinner at the balcony bistro area with Rachel and Mickey and a few ants. Jimmy came along to look at the food but Rachel shooed him away, saying it's a private dinner. The three elders talked about grownup topics like insurance, love/marriage, and home buying, and they said the kiddies surrounding them just don't understand life things like that. Rachel and Mickey were putting in effort to draw Will out some more, and it worked. Jimmy counted votes in HOH with cherries, and rattled off names to Katherine, who didn't seem interested. Vince approached Keanu in the shower, like he does, and they discussed Rachel mostly. Vince said he likes her and wants to work with her, but he's intimidated since he's a fan of the show and has seen her play. (That was all shmoozing Keanu, in my opinion.) Keanu said Rachel told him she's always looking out for him because Vince can't be trusted. (Info obtained: shmoozing successful.) And Keanu said Rachel doesn't understand the game, and her reads are always off. Vince laughed at that, and it probably wasn't because he was agreeing with Keanu. Vince also talked later to Will about Rachel. Adrian told Kelley he'll work on a pitch for Rachel that he'll help her be the first two-time winner.The WBRBs kept coming like crazy, irritating everyone. Hamsters were told the yard would close at 6am, which could indicate a big comp build for HOH, but not necessarily. Sometimes early lockdowns end up with HOH comps that have relatively simple setups - maybe it's just a matter of crew scheduling.
