Info on how to watch will be posted when we get there. Daily Feeds RecapsDay 32 - Friday - August 8, 2025 Morning group chat was pleasant, with talk about dream jobs. Rachel said she'd like to provide post-show liaison services for people coming off reality shows, admitting it was very niche, and Morgan said she enjoys modeling and loved seeing a billboard of hers somewhere. That led to talk of podcasts and Will said he'll stick to sports rather than BB for his, Zach mentioned Rob Has a Podcast, and Rachel mentioned Taran's show. Ava stuck to her no one-on-ones rule (bless), but she let most of the ladies know her plans. She changed her planned speech for Keanu from "you yelled at me" as she practiced last night to "you're the only person here I've yelled at." That made me wonder if Diary suggested she change that since there was no Keanu yelling on the veto show. Jimmy said in QAs this morning "there was tension in the room for sure, and it might not have looked like it in the episode, but he was throwing massive disrespect toward Ava in the moment." Things that make you go hmmm. Keanu told Morgan he was fully expecting to see his face go up at noms since he always does, and Vince was nervousing bad all morning. Ava seems to have switched her renom plan if needed from Lauren to Morgan. She continued rehearsing her speeches, and she told Mickey about the Bond alliance (Adrian, Ava, Lauren, Vinny, Will, Zach), and made a number of comments about the grown men hiding behind little girls thus far. She said she doesn't understand putting up people the HOH doesn't want to go home (as the fanbase has been wondering hard all season). Rachel dressed up for noms as if for a funeral (Vince's), and she whispered to Ashley that she knows she voted to keep Jimmy. Ashley had been denying that last night and today, convincingly, and the Week 1 hinky vote was also brought up again. (Most if not all of them don't know that was Rylie.) Rachel told Ashley it's okay, and then said playfully "Vince did what? I can't believe it was Vince!" So that finger will likely be pointed, making Vince's bad day even worse. And they agreed they probably couldn't put much trust in Mickey going forward. Ava read her letter again to herself, and said "you're supposed to pretend they just wrote in this letter, not like this is a letter from a friggin month ago," breaking through that very, very thin wall of BB illusion yet again. It's Adrian's birthday so greetings and best wishes to him. Kelley thought her birthday would be on the show this week but oops. Maybe it'll be an Unlocked segment. She also said she thinks Jimmy was the one telling people she was instigating things. (Hello? It was herself. This woman is utterly shameless, and continues adding little flavor crystals for Team Fun Feeds to snack on.) A huge loud fight broke out when Mickey discovered her leftover pizza was missing. Apparently Katherine ate it at some point but she said it was Rylie, and he got louder and louder about denying it and calling out Katherine for blaming him. It was all fake and in fun, but still set some nerves on edge out here. They posted a preview of the Goo segment from tonight's Unlocked, which was a lot more of a big deal production than I expected, so I'm surprised Julie didn't tease it. Feeds went down for noms at 1.48pm and came back a little after 3pm. Ava nominated Keanu, Vince, Zach as efficiently planned. Watching the spyscreen in HOH, she told Will that Vince was pointing at his picture on the photo wall, and said she felt bad for him. Zach ding-donged and said he was confused by his nom. Ava apologized, and said she didn't want to put up Kelley again, and she has faith that he'll be okay, and that she was surprised that he'd questioned what she'd do when she won since they're supposed to be allies. He told her to stop apologizing, he understands it's hard to put up anyone etc (and remember he has a $10k veto in his pocket.) When he left, Ava checked with Will, who was hiding in the bathroom, to ask if what she'd said sounded okay and he said it was. Vince moped to Mickey and Morgan about how the veto comp will be David versus the Goliaths Keanu and Zach. Maybe he forgot how that story ended? We'll see how it plays out. Will joined Vince and Ashley, and Vince said he hadn't wanted to go on the block "this early." Will reminded him it's part of the game and "the whole picture of it" - he did not remind Vince that he's already given two Thursday night speeches. Keanu met with Ava, and both said all the right things. Rehashes, questions, and protestations of innocence (from Vince and Zach) carried on from most. Jerry O'Connell was the Unlocked co-host this week, and he came out in a TEAM KEANU shirt. He was a good add for the show and did some fun bits including paying off "Andrew the intern" for digging up some clips to call out Derrick and Taylor for predicting Rylie and Katherine wouldn't develop into anything, one of which was the two of them kissing. Hence the "previously unseen footage" tagline wasn't just an empty promo line, and they also showed a Rachel versus Keanu fight that we didn't know about before - this one had Rachel cleaning the shower and Keanu was accused of being the shower pee culprit. They shouted at each other so it goes on the tally, but I think it might have happened some time ago as Rachel and Keanu have had a truce for awhile now. When Jimmy came out, he shunned Jerry for the first hug because of his TEAM KEANU shirt, but Jerry later taped over Keanu's name with a handwritten Jimmy. BB Bluesky made the show with not one but two highlighted posts, one from @chad2725.bsky.social and one from @purplejordan.bsky.social. They had a cute segment of Brendon at home with the kids, a great Ava fancam edit, and of course Rachel got gooped, which we already knew. Kelley's birthday was not mentioned. Zach and especially Vince kept wondering why them, as if nobody could have possibly noticed all their double- and triple-dipping these past weeks. Zach rallied a little better than Vince, but he might still come around. Discussions about the veto and the eventual vote continued, but I didn't follow those because of Zach's butt veto, which I fully believe (and hope) will be pulled out on Monday. Mickey pitched some roundabout new alliance plans to include Ava, Katherine, Rylie, Will plus Keanu, as well as Ashley, Ava, Rachel, Will plus Katherine, Rylie. Katherine and Rylie already agreed they'd stick with Mickey after she kept them safe last week, and many of the people mentioned in the other groups weren't aware she was counting them in. Katherine and Lauren spent some time with Ava in HOH, chit-chatting and asking questions about her life, her boyfriend, and her cereal preferences. It was extremely transparent, but they had a pantry check-in afterwards and acted like they'd done something. Ava told Mickey that she was pretty much set on Morgan for renom now, if needed, and said she almost regretted not putting her up today. Rylie told us in the gym he didn't know what he'd do if he wins veto, and said he might have to throw it to prevent having to choose between his bros. Vince continued whining to whoever would pretend to listen, including Keanu, who said it'd be crazy if he wins veto and uses it on Vince, and then he wins the Block Buster. Yes it would be crazy. Keanu also went around trying to revive his huge alliance dream, without letting most of the people in his nine-person plan know about it. And he showed off his "brilliant invention" of using a measuring cup for cereal, bragging how he had an entire conversation using it, without spilling a drop. In the space of two minutes, Mickey said she's tired of talking, and she wants a house meeting because somebody ate her cake and her pizza. (She didn't stop talking, and she didn't call a house meeting.) Rylie told his handmaids Katherine and Lauren he was annoyed about not knowing Ava's renom plans, saying "she needs to come out of her shell and talk, maybe stop hiding in that room." Meanwhile Ava was just luxuriating in her room, enjoying the peace, and flopping onto her bed. Morgan complained to whoever would pretend to listen to her about thinking she might go up as renom, and how she's been "fighting for my life since Week 1 to not feel like a number." Please. She talked at Will a lot about it, but Will gave her nothing. The loops kept looping, the paranoia kept parannoying, and the lack of entertainment kept lacking - after the novelty of how many of them are totally inept at this game wore off, anyway. Ava told Lauren she'll keep her safe this week, so that means Morgan probably will be the renom if needed. Katherine told Rylie she's figured out Mickey's game but he said she's overthinking, and that the only thing that matters is getting "that 750 fucking thousand" at the end.If you missed what came before, click "Previous Hamsterwatch episode" up top, or hit my season index page.

Day 31 - Thursday - August 7, 2025 Kelley started her (potentially last) day muttering to herself in the kitchen, and Katherine laughed to Ava from the shower that she's "just here for Rylie's storyline now." Presumably she picked that up from the things Diary asks her about, which is pretty sad that they're that transparent about it, but also she hasn't done much on her own to stand out or be more of a player in the game, or a main character in general. And she further joked to Ava that she's Rachel's side character. Ashley told Jimmy, then Rachel, that Jimmy will be going tonight if he doesn't win Block Buster, and that they were right about Zach, and they'll target him if they win HOH. Jimmy asked Rachel that he not go out unanimously, and he said "if I stay, nice is out the door." Julie posted a preview of tonight's Block Buster which is a rolly-ball variation using a round table, that she didn't complete, so maybe they'll add a time limit on it tonight. Ava expressed concerns to Will about Ashley and how flip-floppy she is, specifically campaigning to keep Jimmy one day and to boot him the next, and going from crushing on Zach to saying she'll put him up. She said she wants to keep Ashley in the house but said she'll be wary about saying much in front of her game-wise, especially when meeting with their new foursome alliance with Ashley and Mickey. Will agreed throughout, adding choice comments here and there, like he does. Rachel and Jimmy did a house tour and season review in character voices, that perturbed some of them. Jimmy left a condom wrapper inside the pantry trash can, telling us "let's give them another mystery to solve, shall we?" (Kelley suggested the condom wrapper idea/prank a couple weeks back, if you're keeping track.) ![]() The recap edits were extra misleading this time, with credit given to Vince and Zach for Jimmy's renom, rather than Ashley and Morgan via Keanu. And they only showed that one confusion day with Ashley wanting and working to save Jimmy this week, without any of the followup reversals, but that kind of paid off for them later during the vote. They didn't add a time limit to the Block Buster, which was titled Safe Crackers. Rylie won, and Katherine was happy when the players re-entered the living room but there weren't many other overjoyed reactions. Rachel actually used the hugging reunion time to strategize (even though Julie has finally dropped that suggestion from her script), and she whispered "this is the perfect time to evict Kelley" to a few of them including Ashley, and Ava. Votes came in from Morgan, Rylie, Keanu, Katherine to boot Jimmy before the commercial break, followed by Vince who also voted Jimmy out. Rachel voted to evict Kelley, and then she waylaid Ashley in the Diary hallway as she was on her way in. It probably wasn't too long but it felt like an eternity as Julie short-circuited with the empty Diary chair on her monitor, and then Ashley finally showed up in the chair. She paused and sputtered, and said she didn't know what to do, and eventually she voted to evict Kelley. On her way out, she whispered with Will in the hallway, and then she ran back into the Diary room and attempted to change her vote. Julie said "no, no, no, no" but I don't think Ashley even heard that, then she left and Will arrived to evict Jimmy, as did Ava, Zach, Lauren. It was a hilarious bit of comedy, reminiscent of Topaz's mistake on the first Canada season's finale when she voted wrong and didn't realize it until Arisa announced the tally. That changed the outcome of the final results since it was a 4-3 vote, but this one had no real effect as Jimmy was evicted 9-2. Well, it might have effects for Ashley this week, time will tell. Jimmy went out with hugs for Rachel and Ashley rather than the full circuit, and said at the door "here's something to remember me by.." making us and them hold our breaths, then he tossed his sunglasses (again), and said "love you guys." He was in good spirits with Julie, saying he would have stuck with Triple Threat all the way and Mickey made a mistake, adding "but what do I know? I'm sitting here," and he said they all made a mistake by keeping Kelley. He guessed correctly when Julie asked who he thought his two votes were, and she told him how Ashley tried to backtrack hers. Julie gave a promo for tomorrow's Unlocked, and announced Sunday's show with HOH comp and noms, then went right to the usual "catch the live feeds 24/7" lie without mentioning Wednesday and Thursday shows. I'm not aware of any scheduled changes until late August but if it was a flub, it wasn't just Julie's as the graphic on her monitor also ended with Sunday's show. The HOH comp was done by 9pm, but feeds didn't come back til midnight. What gives, BB? We came in to Vince having a clear-the-air convo with Rachel, asking to start over, get to know each other - very similar to Keanu's convo with Rachel the other day. I had posted a spoiler that Ava won the HOH, and shortly after feeds came on she hollered for who wants to see the room. She got a letter from boyfriend Caleb that was sweet, and very supportive, and included "keep focused, and don't trust anyone" which got a laugh from everyone. She got a new hat, wine, and Sgt Pepper for her music. She told everyone good night, good bye, and they scattered, with only Rachel staying behind. Ava told her she's putting up Keanu, Vince, and Zach, and she already had her nomination speeches worked out, to include "Keanu, you yelled at me, you're up" and "Vinny the Lip." Rachel laughed, and Ava said by keeping Kelley off the block they might be able to pull her in, and Rachel reminded Ava of their F2 before she too left. Vince sat down for yet another "heartfelt chat" this time with Will. He pulled out tears for this one - maybe real, maybe fake, most likely pulling on real feelings to support his game, which is unraveling rapidly. Rachel talked with Ashley about the vote and whatever happened after that we didn't see. Ashley said Mickey's only talking to her in a group setting now, and Rachel said Vince is obviously faking his sketchy BB knowledge because he's told them he applied eight times. Will joined Ava in HOH for a glass of wine, and said Keanu had popped up again somewhere. And he retold his crying Vince meeting, and how he's been having similar meetings with others, including talking about his anxiety issues. Ava said she loves him as a person and they won't mess with his anxiety or talking about that, but he is not good for their games. And Ava said she also loves Zach but he was "shaking like a leaf" earlier so if he doesn't trust her not to put him up, she doesn't trust him. (And let's not forget Zach still has his $10k to buy his way off the block, which none of them know about.) Ava said she wasn't sure who she'd put up as a renom if needed but she might go with Lauren, though she'd have a hard time doing so.No need to sit through pre-noms meetings, if there are any, which will make for a very refreshing Friday.
