Daily Feeds RecapsDay 13 - Monday - August 14, 2023 Reilly and Cameron each visited Hisam before the veto meeting, separately, to plead their cases. Reilly said she understood when Hisam told her he won't be using it, and he said there is a chance of her staying and if she does, "there's a huge possibility of us working together" in future. That would seem highly unlikely at this point (last night Reilly told her Handful cronies that Hisam was still going on about "integrity" and then she muttered "shut the fuck up"), but you never know with hamsters. Hisam's HOHitis ticked up another notch when he told her he'll likely announce that she's his target at the veto meeting, and that he'd like the others' help to evict her. Also this morning, Cirie told Jared over a game of pool about Professors and who its seven members are. Hisam did not use his veto, and it sounded like his speech wasn't well received. Matt told Cirie he gets it, it's BB, but he'll vote in Reilly's favor, adding it sucks because Reilly helped him get settled in there and has gone out of her way to make him feel comfortable. Cirie said she has no reason to want Reilly out, "she's been nothing but kind to me and Ms Felicia" but if she does go, they all love Matt and will do what he needs to be good at all times. She added "there's a lot of game left before Thursday." Hisam apologized to Reilly, and to Jag, for his harsh speech and said he felt bad. Jared told Reilly that Hisam had been "willing" to put up Blue and Jag (guaranteed that will make the round), and he said Cirie asked him (Jared) yesterday if he thought Reilly was the right target right now, and he said people were already second-guessing evicting Reilly, all of which was good for her. And he said Cirie and Felicia told him right after the meeting that they want Hisam gone sooner than later. Cameron told Red "we're the beardmance" and he said "Cirie's been here before" - technically no, but yes - and "she's like the school counselor for all of us." Jared continued being extra busy, as was Jag, as was Cory. (It should be noted along with Cory's generally good read of everything to us last night, he was in the dark about Professors.) Izzy told Mecole she thought they should boot Hisam before jury since he'll win comps the other Professors won't, and he might hold a grudge as a juror against whichever Professor(s) got him out. Mecole then paced and talked to herself/us in the pantry, saying a lot of people in there were emotionally fragile, and yes they need to get rid of Hisam but not this week, they need to stick to the plan this week. And she said she agreed, "when the time is right and before jury, we do need to take a shot at Hisam." America told Jag they all need to be careful about what they say and to whom, "because look at this last week." Those who enjoy hamster group activities were disappointed once again as majorly loud group screaming was coming from the pool, while feedmasters gave us America/Jag on one side and kitchen food prep on the other. But then we joined for various of them doing laps in different strokes, and hollering, and Olympic caliber Matt making it look like a baby pool. Reilly complained to Matt that she's had to work her ass off every day "for 12 days" while everyone else was just having fun. Never mind that many others are working their own asses off, just more quietly than her, and she brought most of hers on herself. Blue and Jared had a lengthy flirty chat about their wishes for a partner and how each does or doesn't fit those criteria for the other. I don't know if there are real sparks there or if they're just playing, but Jared's probably conscious of his mom always being nearby, and staying observant of everything at all times. Awkward. Izzy griped about Hisam some more, this time to Cirie, who surely gets tired of this kind of thing, but she puts up with it far better than most would, or could. Hisam continued making rounds on his veto speech apology tour. Cirie told Reilly to talk with Izzy and with Felicia, and coached her on what to say to win their favor (and their votes). And she stressed through gritted teeth that Reilly "not repeat a word" of she said. Then Cirie found a bug in her drink.My power blew at that moment and stayed off all evening. Hamsters lost their minds in my absence (probably unrelated): Hisam got perturbed, Cirie pointed out to Izzy that Hisam was making new alliances all over town after telling the Professors not to do that, Cameron said his biggest flaw was being too empathic as a leader (wut), and talk about keeping Reilly gained and lost and gained more momentum. It was a lot and more than I could catch up and write up but hey, it's only Monday: they'll do it all again tomorrow. SUBSCRIBE to my Patreon to get these daily recaps in your email box!

Day 14 - Tuesday - August 15, 2023 The yard was closed so hamsters puttered around inside again. Reilly said she'd told herself she'd keep her hair and makeup done in there but laughed that she'd been rolling into Diary looking ratty and wearing the same sweatshirt for a week. Vote whispers carried on, with Hisam asking around if people had heard anything about the vote and most told him "not really" - ha! Izzy asked Matt if they could meet later with Cirie and Reilly. Cirie met with Jag to discuss another coalition setup to boot Hisam next week to include Reilly, Blue, Izzy, Felicia, Jared, America, plus probable votes from Mecole and Cory. Cirie said if Reilly doesn't go this week, "Hisam's gonna implode, you're gonna see him like tornado" and she twirled an arm tornado-style. Cirie said she'll loudly say she's going to take her medicine as a signal to meet later. Cirie retold that to Jared and Izzy, and that Jag had included Jared in his plans. And she was big mad to Izzy about Hisam having told Professors not to form any new alliances, but everyone knew about the one he formed with Blue and Jag. (She may have been acting angry but if so, it was a good performance.) Hisam told Cirie, Felicia, Jared that he wasn't sure Reilly will go because people were talking to him about "a post-Reilly world or a post-Cameron world." He said if Reilly does stay, she'll be gunning for him next week so he'll need their protection. (He has no idea most everyone's ready to gun for him, including his own squad.) The Cirie/Izzy/Matt/Reilly meeting happened in the Have-not room, and Reilly agreed to target Hisam if she does indeed stay. She promised adamantly she'd never stop wanting him out, and she agreed to play dumb and continue to act like she thinks she's going. Cirie said she wants a unanimous vote to blindside Hisam and take him down a few pegs. They agreed to work on Mecole, Jag, Blue, Red, Bowie, various of them unaware that some of those were already onboard, and all of them unaware of Mecole's extreme reactions to herself/us yesterday about the possibility. Cameron peeked into Have-not as they met, adding that extra layer of awkwardness we've come to expect with hamsters. The four of them broke up their meeting with a hug and Reilly thanked them, and they lined up to get their ass kicks to leave the room. Jag told Blue their alliance with Hisam was done, that he'd ratted them out to Cirie and friends, and Reilly would be staying (as of now). And Jag laid out the plus-one side alliances for her: Blue has Jared, Jag has America, Reilly has Matt, Cirie has Felicia, Izzy has Mecole. Reminder, these were obviously a cover story for Jag's sake, and to accomplish the immediate goal of blindsiding Hisam (and Cameron of course). Izzy and Cirie planned to talk with Mecole about it all, and Izzy was giddy about the whole thing: "we're making this happen!" Cirie let Izzy share that credit even though she orchestrated the whole thing, with others' help. That's how you do it. But Izzy ranted the anti-Hisam/keep Reilly/target Hisam agenda to Cory, fending off his legit questions about the plan and about their team losing Hisam's comp skills. They were joined by Cirie who explained it better, including telling Cory to "stop underestimating our abilities," and Felicia also joined. (Note this pic is irrelevant to this section, it was just a random snap that had a Wackstreet Boys vibe.) Cirie and Izzy presented the plan to Mecole, and she seemed to come around to it somewhat. They talked about having a Professors "office hours" meeting to let Hisam know he'd stepped way out of bounds with his nasty veto speech about Reilly and nobody was happy with him, (and possibly to confront him about his alliance with Jag and Blue). Mecole seemed to be a little more accepting about keeping Reilly. Izzy said she wanted to go off on Hisam but Cirie told her if the meeting happens, Izzy would need to "have a seat" and keep quiet. Bowie popped in and said she'd be happy to go with the majority, whatever. Felicia pitched the plan to America, and later Jag told Felicia he had a crush on America. Hisam popped into one of the Have-not meetings plotting his demise and talked about details of various decor items in there for a memory comp he's sure is coming. Cory told Cameron all the scrambling today was about a plot to go against Hisam next week, and said as far as he knew, Cameron's still good for this week. Cameron said he trusted Cory. Reilly celebrated in the pantry after Felicia told her everything was set, and Jag and America celebrated in the upstairs lounge about having pulled off this flip. (They didn't do it.) Hisam joined Mecole in the pantry and said he'd noticed a lot of scurrying around today. She asked him how he knew Cameron would stick with them going forward, and Hisam ran his reasons: military, frat, loyal, and he said he had no doubts about Cameron. Hisam told her about his alliance with Blue and Jag and while he also said he couldn't tell her everything on that (red flag), he did say he was still loyal to Professors, and that the same us versus them split was still in place as before. (Uhh, no.) If Mecole had another countertop-pounding solo rant in the pantry afterwards, we didn't see it. Bowie said the day had been a non-event so far, which indicates her involvement in the game she's there to play. A bumper pool tournament kicked off. Mecole retold her Hisam chat to Izzy, Red announced his gut was still in turmoil, and they finally got real butter delivered.  Circling back to where we started the day, Jag did Blue's makeup, narrating every product and every step for the gathered audience. Most of them were surprised and said the final look was pretty good. Bumper pool broke for dinner courtesy of Cirie, Felicia, Red, and afterwards Red made donuts. It was his first attempt but they said they were great. Whispers carried on, with Jared arguing against booting Reilly/targeting Hisam in some circles, and most everyone else still arguing for the flip. Jared stood at the photo wall with several others nearby, and said how much he thought his photo looked like Felicia. She agreed and said "you could be my son!" Jared chuckled and said "that's funny." Yes, yes it is. Cirie confronted Hisam about partnering up with Jag and Blue after telling the rest of them no new alliances. He said that wasn't really an alliance and it was temporary. Mecole met with herself/us in the HOH bathroom this time, irritated at being told what to do when she didn't want to keep Reilly, and saying neither Reilly nor Hisam had her best interests at heart.  So Cameron was a goner and most everyone was lined up to take a shot at Hisam, but then Cirie and Izzy compared notes again, (including having learned that Hisam had threatened Matt if he won veto and he'd said he got stuck with the losers and leftovers), and they discussed paths of least resistance (a lot), and that Cameron was ready and willing to target Hisam, and they said maybe they should evict Reilly after all. Mecole joined them and was told the decision was 50/50 at that point. Mecole returned to her auxiliary office (the HOH bathroom) and ranted again to herself/us about the back and forth, adding "this is a very loopy place, it is a madhouse." This kind of flip and flip back isn't unusual when they start so early in the week, and here we are. Cirie and especially Izzy started spreading the word - the question anyway - even though they agreed to hold off for tonight. Cirie told Reilly that things were maybe not so set in her favor after all. Tomorrow should be a classic Waffle Wednesday so rest up hamsterwatchers, and bring (real) butter and extra syrup.SUBSCRIBE to my Patreon to get these daily recaps in your email box!

Day 15 - Wednesday - August 16, 2023 To review: Reilly was HOH Hisam's target and would have gone out with at least a majority vote, then Cirie plus Izzy orchestrated a full house flip - successfully - to boot Cameron unanimously or close to it, and blindside Hisam. Then late last night Cirie plus Izzy decided Reilly should go after all, and everyone will still target Hisam next week, and that un-flip began to make the rounds. Also last night, Izzy and Jared solidified the fanbase joke and declared themselves siblings for life. Today kicked off with Reilly rallying her Handful (less Cameron) to get out there and campaign for her as she can't do it all herself. America gave her some tips and peptalk, and then told Izzy and Mecole it makes sense to get rid of her. Jared and Cirie shared a stealthy morning hug, with Cirie telling him he's been doing great and she was taking notes.As of now, Reilly will be meeting Julie tomorrow but we know how waffly Wednesdays can be, and how this group is, so keep it in pencil.  America and Mecole agreed to work together, and to share intel from their respective sides, and they agreed they were each in a good position for this arrangement since they weren't priority targets for either side. Izzy and Matt agreed to watch out for each other going forward, and they said if they vote differently tomorrow it wouldn't be a factor, with Izzy adding she fully expects him to vote to keep Reilly. Izzy immediately retold the latter part to Cory and America, and Matt retold to Reilly including that he'd said he'd protect Izzy's crew. Hisam told Cirie and Izzy "I really see this as our HOH"(!) and he also said the energy in the house was weird. He seems to be oblivious to having become everyone's target. Hisam told Reilly he's sure there's a battle-back somewhere, it's a multiverse etc etc, and said "you are not out til Julie says you're on a plane ride home." (That would be happening approximately 16 hours later.) America told Blue and Jag that Reilly had said Cirie and Izzy have influence over everyone on that side. Blue said "[Reilly] needs to stop talking sometimes bro," specifically stop talking about everyone else and just talk about herself with this campaign. Jag said "just stop fucking talking." Later Jag told Cirie and Izzy they don't all need to keep holding visible meetings and discussions all the time, and he said Blue wanted them to meet in a room to discuss or solidify a foursome. Cirie said "facilitate that." Cirie found out Reilly said she and Izzy were calling the shots, and she said she didn't like that. Izzy said she didn't either (but Izzy loved it after they'd successfully flipped the vote the first time, with her gleeful "we did it!") Felicia and Mecole found Felicia's missing tooth under the bathroom sink (the true Nether Region). Gametalk took an afternoon break as a fruit salad committee formed. Jag talked about an immersive program he did through college where he spent various amounts of time in different countries, and each round had a different in-depth focus. He said he spent about a month in Tahiti among indigenous people, another round in Italy included Rome and various surrounding towns and villages, another in Morocco, and his last was three months in Thailand. It was a super interesting talk, and he said they were all excellent and valuable experiences. As they would be, wow! Elsewhere, Red talked about having been a river and whitewater rafting guide. Mecole talked about teaching 9th and 10th grade (which is a hamster job-lie), and said she always and still would like to become a broadcast journalist. Later Jag and Hisam compared stories about growing up in immigrant families, and how much their parents had struggled and sacrificed. It was all interesting stuff and a nice break from the ongoing onslaught of whispering, waffling, and scheming. Vote talks picked up again, of course. Reilly made a pitch to Cirie, Izzy, Felicia, but they laughed afterwards. Cirie told Red that she'd heard he didn't want to win HOH and he'd hoped to play the middle, and he said he thought it was good that people see him, Bowie, Mecole as middle players. But Cirie told him the other side had mentioned putting up him and Bowie next week. Red told Hisam that Matt wasn't happy with him (Hisam), and he said America was trying to play both sides "pretty hard." He said he figured she's closer to the Blue/Reilly side because she seemed more excited talking with them, and he said maybe she was a mole who'd been sent out to sniff around. And he added that was "kinda the same game I'm playing, with the opposite side." Cameron told Bowie the last two or three days had felt stagnant(!!) It's hard to imagine being unaware something has been going on, especially while on the block, and extra especially after preaching All Things BB as a self-proclaimed expert last week. Reilly made her pitch to Mecole, and it wasn't good. Among other things, she said "I'll tell you what I've told everyone else," and she said she hadn't had an opportunity to get to know Mecole (no, she just didn't bother), and "I didn't get to represent myself very well before" (why not?), and she said it's not true that she was trying to split the house last week. Excuse me, I clearly recall her saying she wanted to form an eight-person alliance about a zillion times, and then she did. But no matter. At least she's putting in a little work and not just laying down to die. Mecole didn't give her an answer either way (she's never wanted Reilly to stay), but she did say she understood Reilly's 24 and sometimes it can feel like the world's ending at that age, adding that she's 30 but remembers that feeling. (I suspect she was subtly saying Reilly's immature.) Cameron also started campaigning finally, also poorly. Hisam had volunteered to clean the bathroom when they divvied up weekly cleaning duties but when he got in there, he repeated the complaints of how gross it was that we hear every year. Cirie (plus Izzy) met with Reilly, Jag, Blue to say she'd worked so hard to flip the vote in Reilly's favor yesterday but now everyone was telling her they didn't know how they'll vote. Cirie got pretty riled up (which may have been acting, since she and Izzy also orchestrated the flip back to booting Reilly.) She also mentioned her annoyance at the rumor that she, Izzy, Felicia were the "head of the snake," adding damage control on that, along with it being a veiled shot at Reilly for spreading that one. Reilly, Blue, Jag did some more campaigning for Reilly, which only helped further reinforce how close they are. They spent more time talking about campaigning for her than actually campaigning. Reilly and Cameron commiserated about their plight, with Matt, and they made future plans to meet up, and they did a few rounds of trading insults.As of tonight, Reilly will be walking the plank to meet Julie tomorrow, possibly on a split vote, depending whether anyone agrees to give her and her side a heads-up tomorrow.
