Info on how to watch will be posted when we get there. Daily Feeds RecapsDay 30 - Wednesday - August 6, 2025 Late night developments included a marathon rehash with Ashley and Mickey that was chock full of accusations, denials, justifications, and clarifications on both sides, mostly about Mickey having heard Ashley was working to keep Jimmy. Ashley said she's not voting to keep him, and said she was upset she and Mickey weren't the close friends they were before. Ashley cried, and they did a few rounds of her saying she knows Mickey's mad and Mickey saying she wasn't. A side effect of all that was Ashley telling Mickey about Ava knowing about Vince and Zach's votes last week, and possibly having had a hand in that. In the hammock, Zach gave Lauren a cohesive and fairly accurate recap of all the goings-on, and they did some major giggling and laughing as well. Morning brought Jimmy and Rachel drilling days as they worked out. Jimmy said he'd made a mistake by sending Amy home since she was an ally - that might be part of his nominee speech, as a fact but also a dig at Mickey. Will joined Mickey in HOH to say he thinks Vince is advocating for Jimmy to stay, and that he was expecting a pitch today. Ashley joined, and Will said "it's my two daughters." Mickey was called to Diary, and Ashley told Will "do not trust Jimmy," Will agreed, and Ashley said she's keeping Rylie over Jimmy, but "Jimmy's still better than Kelley." Will told Ashley he still feels okay about their trio with Mickey, "as long as it lasts." Out here, comments are swirling about Rylie's bulge (see Links of the Day below for that), and Mickey's targeting of Jimmy maybe having some homophobic overtones.Speculation about the HOH comp continued, like it does. I've learned tomorrow is a knockout comp, which could be interesting, dramatic, or comical with this crew (maybe all three), and next week is the Wall. Either Kelley or Jimmy are likely getting the boot as of now, depending on Block Buster, but campaign pitches and voting waffles happened everywhere, as usual on a Wednesday. Kelley and Vince had a marathon planning session in the wine nook to save Kelley, when Rachel came along in one of her red dresses to dust the many wine bottles. She climbed on furniture, and apologized for crashing their talk, and they said it's fine. Later Rachel planked mermaid-style on the reception desk to clean the mirror behind it, before finally getting a "stop that." Vince met with Lauren after his Kelley talk, and Lauren then met with Katherine to discuss the options. Rylie and Katherine made friendship (or whatever) bracelets for each other. Both Ava and Morgan spent much of the day in their beds, Morgan possibly with a sore back from carrying Vince around the yard last night. Jimmy asked Rachel her thoughts on yelling at people on his way out if he goes, and she said "calling people out is not ever a bad idea, but yelling at people is probably in poor taste." The day dragged on with endless meetings and pitches. Jimmy met with various voters, as did Kelley, and Keanu did some jockeying to be in more loops going forward than he has been. Rachel pitched on Jimmy's behalf to Ashley, who said if Lauren votes to keep Jimmy she will too, but otherwise she'll vote him out. Ashley suggested the two of them pull in Keanu, probably unaware that Rachel and Keanu already had (another) clear the air convo, and agreed they probably should work together, even though neither particularly wants to. If Rylie did any work to secure votes I missed it, but there was a lot of campaigning by others on his behalf. Lauren, Vince, Zach met and agreed they're all planning to vote out Jimmy. Mickey let Will know that she's starting to turn against Morgan, and then she brought up concerns about Ashley again. Ashley was summoned to HOH where Mickey launched HOH Interrogation #27 for the week about things Ashley's said to others that she shouldn't, which Ashley denied, and repeat ad nauseum. Ashley told them Jimmy had told her Zach said he'd put her up but then backtracked on that, but Will confirmed that Zach had said that.Despite hours and hours of waffles and pitches, nothing changed. Kelley's still likely to go if she doesn't win the Block Buster, and if she does, it'll probably be Jimmy who meets Julie.

Day 29 - Tuesday - August 5, 2025 Morning brought streamers going up and a re-set table for Kelley's birthday. It's tomorrow, but they're celebrating today. She's going to be 30, but she's acting like it's the event of the season, as if she's turning 8. Morgan started working on Will to say Jimmy has to go, but he and Rachel will be working hard today to keep him, and they should try to separate them. Will met with Mickey, who said "Ashley's playing the middle" and she rattled off some of the hoops she jumped through this week to end up where we have. Will said he trusts Ashley, which seemed to get Mickey's attention. Recall that yesterday Will and Ashley agreed Jimmy has to stay, and that Mickey and Morgan were only keeping them (Will and Ashley) for jury votes. Ava told Ashley about flipping Vince and Zach votes last week. Incidentally, it was nice to see Sunday's episode give her credit for that - they often don't bother with things like that for hamsters outside of the main storylines.Feeds went to adoptable anipals for two hours for Rachel to get gooped from the worst dressed viewer vote, for Unlocked. As if it would be anyone else, even if they all wore nothing but potato sacks. One vet in a cast of rookies problems. Rachel or someone else may have also gotten or will get a reward, new clothes or something. It will all be clarified on Friday's Unlocked, if not before. Campaigning kicked off and got chaotic quickly. Ashley told Will she thought Zach and Vince tried to flip the vote last week. Jimmy pitched to Vince for his vote, wearing his "business jacket" and Rachel's top, saying he thinks he has four but needs Vince and Lauren. Vince asked if Jimmy's close with Lauren and Jimmy replied "close enough" but he's seen others talking with her a lot lately, who normally don't. Rachel met with Mickey, and told her she thinks putting up Jimmy was a mistake. They agreed Heavy Hitters is dead, at the same time as Vince and Jimmy agreed it might be salvageable. Ashley pitched keeping Jimmy to Will and Ava, and said she's decided he's not a tennis coach. Ava reported to Mickey that Ashley's being "mischievous" and "shady shade" and working against their interests. Will joined to say "there's some stuff going on on the other side of the house that we don't even know about" and Mickey said "it's Rachel." Mickey also said Ashley has picked a side and it's not theirs, and suggested the three of them work with Rylie and Katherine. They agreed to work as a trio but Keanu arrived before they settled on a name. (Some of that from Ava and Will could be planned to throw Mickey and Morgan off. It's become really hard to tell who's being sincere with whom, since there's so much double-dipping everywhere.) Will pitched a duo to Keanu, who was agreeable to the idea. Rachel and Vince had a very lengthy clear-the-air chat, with Vince putting on his uncertain/naive shmoozing persona. They ended with a hug, but I couldn't see if Rachel was rolling her eyes this time. Rachel reported to Jimmy, and said he owes her one, and he agreed. Morgan suggested to Zach they get people who are going to vote Jimmy out to tell him they're keeping him, so he won't feel has to try so hard to win the Block Buster. (That's what we call a harebrained scheme.)Kelley changed into her birthday/finale dress and everyone cheered, Ava decorated her cake, and Katherine said BB cakes usually look awful but this is a top tier one. (Fact! I've got the receipts.) Everyone donned their tiny party hats, dinner was served, and Kelley gave a (no champagne) toast to them all, including the three evictees, saying this is the best experience of her life despite some down days, and she's grateful to have met each of them. They presented her gift that was "from everyone" and she opened it to find an avocado. ![]() After dinner they had a nearly unprecedented second booze delivery for the week, which overjoyed all of them. Most went out to the backyard, Ashley passed out, Rachel had a hammock dump, and Mickey and Morgan griped in HOH about Kelley enjoying her birthday and Jimmy and Ashley having "toxic mindsets." Mickey and Morgan joined the backyardigans and they all had a loud, fun time with pool tournaments, backflips, pratfalls, and improv skits. Mickey and Morgan went back upstairs to gloat, gossip, and plan their way to the finalist chairs, and Jimmy told Ashley that Zach said he wants to put her on the block and make her a Have-not. Rachel later scolded Jimmy for that and said he had to do damage control, which he did shortly after (with Rachel backup), telling Ashley he was just playing and Zach wouldn't do that. If there's more tonight, I'll catch it up tomorrow. If you missed what came before, click "Previous Hamsterwatch episode" up top, or hit my season index page.

Day 28 - Monday - August 4, 2025 Adoptable anipals arrived early for a Monday, around 9.40am. It could be an early veto meeting, or the gooping event for the Unlocked show, or a light bulb replacement or other routine maintenance.. we'll know when we know. As of this morning, Jimmy was still the planned renom.Feeds came back at 11.11am and it was an early veto meeting. Keanu took himself down, and Mickey put up Jimmy in his place, as laboriously planned. She and Morgan were justifying the move in HOH and they air-toasted and pinkyswore over the end of Triple Threat, naming their duo Tea Party, and saying at least Jimmy wasn't blindsided. Elsewhere, Jimmy said in the backyard he'd had no inclination this would happen, when Will asked him. Jimmy did have a suspicion last night, and Mickey and Morgan may have given him a formal heads-up at some point but if so, I didn't see it. At any rate, with that suspicion last night, he promised drama and fireworks if it came to pass but if there were any, they fizzled out quickly. Vince and Zach started scheming about the vote and the future. Rachel told Mickey she won't hold this against her, and "promise, swear on my life, friendship, personal, it doesn't change anything between us." And they agreed Vince is playing multiple sides, and Rachel said he's her number one target. Mickey said she still wants Katherine to "get the hell out of here." Mickey sat down with Jimmy to say she'd done what he told her, separated the personal from the gameplay, and she said he'd been withholding info from her. He said everything he's done was for them, but he did acknowledge he could have done better with his info sharing. He said he was hurt and blindsided, and they launched rehash rounds. Whispers started up about the vote, and next week (say it with me, they'll start that all over from scratch when we get there). Rachel shunned Vince when he tried to talk to her, Vince and Zach met in the pantry, Rachel peptalked Jimmy and he confessed his job lie to her, and later Rachel told Jimmy that Amy was the Day 1 accomplice. Mickey and Morgan spent a lot of time rationalizing today's decision before heading out on rounds. Ashley and Will met and agreed Mickey and Morgan are just keeping them around for jury votes, and that Jimmy can't go this week. Mickey told Will she thinks she'll have eight votes to evict Jimmy (last night it was ten, but the reality is three or four as of now), and she said Rylie has to stay at all costs. Ava was brought in, and she said she'll vote out Rylie. (I expect Rachel will work on her to save Jimmy, if the vote is Jimmy versus Rylie after Block Buster.) Rachel interrogated Kelley about her life, her background, her work, and her beliefs. Keanu gave us a recap in the gym from his own unique point of view, and then he gave Vince a kettlebell coaching session, which evolved into an entertaining Keanu monologue, with some Vince shmoozing thrown in here and there. Afternoon was relatively quiet, with relatively quiet tensions erupting here and there. Jimmy and Rachel ranted about Vince; Ashley ranted to Will, and Rachel, and Jimmy about Mickey; Morgan ranted to Vince and Zach about Keanu; and Kelley ranted to cameras about Vince. Katherine told Rylie she's aware she'd be on the block if it weren't for him putting in work on her behalf, and she leaned in for a very long hug, and then another, and another. Feedsters clutched their pearls and gakked, and Ava hammocked aggressively on the other side of the yard. Lauren, Vince, Zach played pool casually and chatted as if it's just another happy evening in a happy house. Jimmy told Kelley he knows now how it feels to be nominated, and he commended her for handling it as well as she has, for so long. (I wonder how he'd feel if Mickey had dressed up in HOH robe, jewelry, and gloves to put him up, like he did to put up Kelley.) Kelley reported much of her Jimmy convo to Vince, and they acted like they're still a duo, with a handslap confirmation. Vince might believe it but I'm pretty sure he's dead to Kelley in the game. Vince retold that convo to Keanu, with a heavy anti-Jimmy slant, some of which I think was Kelley's patented instigation exaggeration/lies. Remember, she confessed to starting the whole Keanu versus Jimmy feud way back when, which arguably led to Jimmy going on the block today, since Mickey and Morgan were swayed by Keanu's retells of Jimmy's double-dipping and other shenanigans. Morgan ran out of people to talk at so she talked at us for awhile, until Lauren came back and she picked up again with her. Ashley, Jimmy, Katherine, Rachel, Rylie, Zach had a loud conversation in the backyard about flirting and crushes, with a lot of laughter, which was a nice relief after all the endless retells and rehashes, but the feedmasters didn't let us stay with them for long and we were sent back to rehashes, and Rylie telling Katherine she's his girl.If you missed what came before, click "Previous Hamsterwatch episode" up top, or hit my season index page.
