Daily Feeds Recaps
Day 25 - Friday - August 1, 2025
Some major overnight developments! Firstly, the HOH comp involved a balance beam race of some sort, maybe in teams and heats. Rylie fell off early, but then ended up winning. If he ever got his room and letter, it wasn't shown because the adoptable anipals came back around 2am and feeds were down until around 3.40am, and then down again a couple more hours until nearly 5am. Mickey had invoked her power, successfully, and took over the HOH. Apparently Rylie guessed Ashley's the one who did it (she'd been his target), possibly/probably helped along during his interrogations by both Morgan and Rachel who knew Mickey had that power in her pocket, and they probably worked to throw him off. There was some talk later about Rylie cussing out Mickey and Morgan about it all. Rylie and Katherine were looking cozy and 'mancy around 5am, talking about where they'd sleep and if they should share a bed or not, but Katherine said "we're not cuddling." Hamsters were still in bed in the greenlight this morning until close to noon.
Keanu told Vince and then Kelley the "best case scenario" would be for Zach to go up, and home. That's unlikely to happen but it would be funny if he went on the block and Mickey got his $10k. Later Keanu told Zach the "best case scenario" would be for Katherine to go home. Kelley said she might get a break from the block this week for her birthday, and that she's sick of playing with cowards and bullies. Interesting outlook after having volunteered to go up three weeks in a row. Zach told Mickey he's tight with Rylie and loves him, but he has to separate personal from game. He nudged for Rylie to go up, and said Rylie didn't play the game for three weeks. He pointed out viewers would love it if Mickey sends Rylie home on his own HOH, in a "good TV" sense. True! And he also told Mickey that Rylie had previously said he'd use the veto on Katherine if he wins it when she's on the block. And when Zach asked Mickey how she feels about Jimmy, both burst out laughing. Zach then checked in with Keanu who remained blissfully ignorant about most things going on. When Keanu asked who Zach would put up if he won, he said Ashley would have been his target, adding "I can't stand that girl."
Rylie stewed in the living room, with feedmasters having shady fun panning between Louise the side-eyed cat and his pouting face, and between the NOMINATIONS TODAY sign and both Rylie and Kelley. Kelley met with Mickey and pushed hard for Keanu to be the target this week, and urged Mickey to keep him off the block in order to backdoor him. Rylie talked to Katherine and implied he'd still take her down if he wins veto and she's on the block - often hamsters backtrack about that kind of thing if/when it becomes reality. Katherine may have talked him out of doing it, but I'm not sure. Kelley joined and reported that she'd cut a deal with Mickey to stay off the block this week in exchange for not changing noms if she wins veto. (I only heard Kelley offer that, not that it was an actual deal, but I didn't hear the whole convo.) And Kelley professed her love for both of them, and said they need to distance themselves for appearances.
Mickey caught a glimpse of her HOH pics at some point, but feeds went to anipals around 3pm and her formal room reveal was withheld from us. We came in as she was finishing reading her letter from her mom, who's getting married today. She asked everyone for a minute to talk to Rylie and they all scattered dutifully. Rylie cried and Mickey comforted him, both of them being equally genuine and not, in my opinion. Mickey said she hadn't used her power this week to intentionally target him (she did) and he said he hadn't decided on his noms yet when the takeover happened (he had). She then proceeded to give a masterclass in how to play BB by shmoozing him hard, saying Keanu's her target and nobody else could beat him in veto except Rylie, who eventually said "do what you gotta do." Mickey assured him he wouldn't go home this week, they said they love each other, they hope to go far in the game together, they had a very long parting hug, and stopped just short of forming a final two. Rylie then told Vince and Katherine how it played out, saying they can't tell anyone. (Saying that to Vince is about equal to saying that to Quinn: it's guaranteed to spread.)
Mickey met with Keanu, who Keanu'd his way through the meeting and said he's gotten used to having "blockitis" though he doesn't like the continual shun. Mickey met with Ashley, they did a celebration dance, and Ashley used cherries to point out Vince is playing the middle with everyone, and she soft-pushed for Katherine and Lauren to hit the block with Kelley. Mickey said if Kelley goes home, it doesn't really help their game at all, and she said she's leaning towards Keanu, Kelley, Rylie, with Katherine as a renom if needed. She sounded like she'd be fine with either Keanu or Rylie going. Meetings with Katherine, Rachel, Vince, Will followed, and were unremarkable. Mickey told Kelley she hadn't fully decided yet, which Kelley doubted, and Mickey said if she does put her up, she trusts Kelley will take herself down again. And Kelley said she's closest to Rylie of anyone, "so if I can go up in Rylie's place, I'll do that." Kelley's unpredictable in every way except volunteering for the block, which is a given. Kelley then gave a dramatic, sniffly monologue in the gym to herself/us about being bad at the game and wishing Adrian was still here instead of her. Zach came along to peptalk her, and nomination anipals finally arrived at 6.18pm.
Mickey put up Keanu, Kelley, Rylie as planned. Kelley whined and Ashley, Morgan, Rachel comforted her. Mickey shmoozed Rylie so thoroughly and so well, he was grateful when Jimmy told him he wouldn't use the veto if he wins it, as he figured that would prevent Katherine from going up. Mickey further shmoozed Rylie in the hammock, and they did a pinkyswear that they'll get Keanu out, and they'll help get each other to jury. Katherine sat by Rylie's hammock for a long time as he petted her and said things like wanting a tattoo of her lips on his neck. Ashley commented about Rachel always being in the kitchen, and Rachel said she likes it, and there's not much else to do. (Cooking also passes the time, and is the best vantage spot to keep an eye on everything and everyone.) Vince again sat out dinner, this time to play chess and soft shmooze Kelley. Rylie whined to Rachel about not knowing how he got in this position since he doesn't bad mouth anyone or cause any problems, and he cares about Katherine so much. Rachel listened patiently, tearing up at the caring part, saying "it's just like me and Brendon." Err, not quite: they clearly had mutual feelings for each other, but we have yet to hear from Katherine about all that. Kelley whined to whoever would pretend to listen that she's been on the block 21 days. Ashley finally pooped at some point. Morgan pitched an anti-Jimmy campaign to Mickey, Vince, Zach. Will had a nice day.

Day 24 - Thursday - July 31, 2025
Last night after Ava gave Zach her whispery smackdown about not voting with house targets Katherine, Keanu, Kelley, Rylie, Zach and Vince tentatively agreed to vote out Adrian over Will, bringing us back to 8-4 rather than a tie. This morning Ava followed up her convo with both Vince and Zach, as planned. They again did that in the pantry with various people trotting through, and I didn't hear if there was any resolution or not because feeds switched to Jimmy helping Mickey wax her upper lip. We did see Vince sit down to whisper with Keanu, and Vince also whispered with Lauren, who fell back on her usual "do whatever's best for your game." Hamsters agreed to wear denim tonight, or blue, but if they have an endurance comp that Julie starts on the show, they'll need to be in athletic clothes. We probably won't know about that for sure until we see what they're wearing when the show starts.
Ava happily told a camera that she "did a thing" and maybe influenced someone, which was cute and genuine, and further discussions indicated that she probably had done exactly that. Vince wondered if he should give Rylie and Katherine a heads-up, indicating he could be the designated blindside-spoiler this season, boo. Julie again posted a demo of tonight's Block Buster, again using Adrian's podium: they'll have two minutes to count how many differences there are between two rooms.
The show recaps included a lot about Mickey and Morgan disagreements and suspicion about each other, largely driven by Adrian and Zach, which was unnecessary and cluttery in my opinion. They could have had some comedy about Lauren's inability to form or state any decisions but instead she was portrayed as being decisive and confident, again. And they did a segment on Adrian's dinner date with his little loaf of bread.
The Block Buster was cut down to one and a half minutes rather than two minutes in Julie's demo, but all three were back at their podiums with guesses up after one minute. The answer was eight differences between the rooms, giving Kelley another BBBB win and another save with her guess of seven, and the foreshadowing of Julie using Adrian's podium didn't return. Julie finally dropped telling them to go strategize when the players re-entered the living room, and it was mostly hugs all around.
Nominee speeches were a teary affair with Will first getting choked up and boosting Adrian in his - no lemon drop jokes tonight, and Adrian also had trouble getting his speech out. Julie turned somber and then called for the vote. Vince went first and acted like he didn't know what to do but he finally voted to evict Adrian, along with Mickey, Morgan, Zach, Jimmy, Ashley, Ava, Rachel, and Adrian was evicted 8-4. Keanu, Katherine, Rylie plus Kelley stuck to their plan of voting out Will and time will tell if there's any bitterness or "who flipped" reactions to that, or if they'd gotten a heads up. Adrian went out with his loaf of bread which Jimmy ran to hand to him, and he sat with it for his QA with Julie. Hamsters were left in teary shambles inside, wearing their coordinated denim outfits so if tonight's HOH is a physical one, we won't know until later when the feeds return.
Feeds didn't come back until almost 12.30am, and Rylie had won the HOH. I'll catch up the room festivities and Have-nots tomorrow.

2nd evicted - Day 17
She didn't do as much as some in the 'older woman' casting slot before her, but she got away with being the move-in Accomplice by doing a few tasks without being caught. She and Rachel bonded quickly and tightly as fellow moms, but their closeness made a target of Amy and she got the boot to weaken Rachel's game. She was generally liked in there, and she cried a lot but she handled slop well. She got out by the July 31 deadline to get her job of 20 years back, if she wants it.

1st evicted - Day 10
It's nice to get a brojock out early, especially first, and between constantly exhibiting his muscles and his smarts, he didn't do much to help prevent that. He didn't lay down to die when he hit the block so that's something, but he campaigned repetitively and relentlessly, holding voters hostage for hours at a time and talking 100 mph at them without pausing for breath. He landed himself on TMZ and tangled with Rachel, and that's about all he'll be remembered for.

GAME TWISTS
Day 1: Rachel joined the cast and the game.
Day 1: Amy was a secret accomplice. She wasn't identified by a majority of players (or any of them) so remained in the game.
Day 1: Zach won $10k in Find Julie move-in comp. If he's on the block after veto meeting any week before jury, he can buy safety. HOH will get the $10k and have to name another nominee.
Day 1: Rachel had first week immunity and automatic Have-not. The other HNs (Ava, Will, Zach) also had immunity.
Day 10: Keanu won Mystery Competitor in HOH comp: an alum will play veto on his behalf if he's on the block, before jury.
> Used Day 12: Kaycee played for him, and won.
Day 10: Kelley won Mystery Veto in HOH comp: can play an individual challenge to win a second veto to save herself or someone else on the block, before jury.
> Used Day 14: won her challenge and took herself off the block.
Day 10: Mickey won HOH Interrogation in HOH comp: can anonymously dethrone reigning HOH, who can interrogate everyone and make an official guess who did it. If correct, they're back to HOH and if not, she reveals herself and becomes HOH, before jury.
>: Used Day 24/25: took over Rylie's HOH.
