I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
This site is about the Big Brother 27 feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me. It's about watching hamsters: who's doing what and why. Thanks for encouraging my behavior.
Your pal, dingo

Daily Feeds Recaps

Day 9 - Wednesday - July 16, 2025

Lauren, Vince, Zach held a meeting late last night as I was closing up shop. They sounded generally smarter and more level-headed than most of these group chats, and they all agreed they felt good as a trio moving forward. Zach and Vince met with outer ring members Adrian, Ava, Will this morning to more or less solidify that. Ava suggested they call themselves The Bond "like James Bond" with everyone having a role/title like superspy, villain, mastermind, etc. Production will love that.

Early riser Adrian took advantage of morning solitude today to lay out scenarios, using strawberries as he referred to the photo wall. Usually hamsters use Skittles or other candies, cereal, or snacks for that so even if those are fake strawberries in the giant bowl, it gave a fresher, healthier looking approach to a planning session. Zae's r-word slipping out made its way to TMZ today, so I've started the "scandals outside our BB world" count in my Extracurricular Tally below. It's probably not the earliest in a season that's happened, and it seems to be a regular feature every season now.

After yesterday's super sloppy alliance stew recap, I'm hoping not to follow all the vote waffling too closely today, and I'll just hope we'll end up with an idea of how things will lie tomorrow. I like the unpredictability of going into an eviction with the Blockbuster (AI Arena) in play, but with three possible ballot combos and 14 votes, and allowing leeway for who someone's speaking to, it's just too much - for me anyway - to keep track of every chat and change of mind.



Elissa's sister led a morning yoga class (see what I did there?). Apparently Rachel defined the difference between floaters and coasters to a couple of them yesterday. Hopefully she'll repeat that, and often, since she's the reason the definitions have been so muddled and wrong all these years. Kelley spouted off more Kelleyisms like saying she thought Blockbuster/Arena had two winners. She's turned out to be quite a pot-stirrer, whether intentional or accidental, by saying things like a girls' alliance has formed but it doesn't include her or Ava, and she may have set off the (erroneous) mess about Ashley's marathon shower. Ava said she first heard it from Kelley anyway. Ava came alive in various small groups and rattled off more stellar Lines of the Day than I can list, but I included a couple highlights belows.

Waffling carried on with various vote counts being counted on various fingers, largely thanks to Morgan pushing to evict Zae, Ava pushing to evict Kelley, and Kelley pushing to evict Amy. Thanks to CattyJargon for that streamlined synopsis. Amy let Rachel know a number of people were starting to target her.

More later

Day 8 - Tuesday - July 15, 2025

In overnight news we didn't need, Zae said "I'm a retard" after making a mistake playing chess with Keanu. To his credit, he immediately "damn, I shouldn't say that word" but to his detriment, he added "that's one of the ones I was working on not saying." Keanu said "you're lucky it's late" implying few were watching, but he clearly doesn't get how this works.



As planned last night, Rylie, Vince, Will, Zach, Zae met in HOH this morning to do a hands-in and formalize Burger Boys alliance. A brojocks alliance was inevitable sooner or later, and especially since a guy won the first HOH, but it came along later than I expected. Elsewhere Rachel told various women about the BB12 Brigade as a cautionary tale. Later, Ashley and Amy agreed they'd like to keep Zae over Kelley, no matter how Rachel feels about it, partly because he'd go after Rachel rather than them. I didn't hear the conversation, but it seemed like Adrian told Keanu about some personal or family issue, and they agreed they'd be each other's safe space if they wanted to talk about anything sensitive or personal. Lauren told Morgan that she and Zach are not a thing, and the teasing about it was starting to bug her.

Adrian, Ava, Mickey, Rylie, Zae shared some conversational Spanish. Jimmy's acting as Mickey's butler today and donned a leopard bikini top over a jacket for those duties. Keanu revved back up to gripe to Vince about Kelley's horrible social game, as if his own isn't just as horrible. Vince told Keanu he's afraid Rachel will push for a unanimous vote to keep Amy, and said he wants a split vote. He said if it's an Amy/Zae tie, he'll keep Zae so Rachel loses Amy. Keanu still pushed for his mega alliance, despite Rachel telling him yesterday to stop that. Keanu and Vince described Dumbbells as being a fake "smokescreen" alliance made up of Adrian, Keanu, Lauren, Zach, Zae, but their actual Core Six is Adrian, Keanu, Kelley, Lauren, Rylie, Vince, with plans to rope in Katherine, Zach, Zae. Vince told Amy he'd like to work with her going forward and Amy agreed. That could be real or fake on either side.



Rachel and Mickey made chicken salad, and did a Rachel and Mickey's Cooking Show skit as they did. It's probably just the chancy quality of screenshots, but it looks like Amy's giving the BB16 Christine glare in the background, as Rachel and Mickey were having a great time. New alliances continued to be pitched, usually in small groups with various members being tasked with notifying whoever wasn't present. Combos included Jimmy pitching to Ashley, Mickey, Morgan, Vince, and bringing in Amy, Katherine, and maybe Rachel, Will. That one was defined by Jimmy as "nothing official" but tentatively good for the next two or three weeks. Mickey pitched Ashley, Ava, Morgan, Vince, Will. And Ashley, Lauren, Mickey had a lengthy meeting to discuss votes and future plans, and then Lauren stepped out and Amy stepped in. There are probably more.

Vince shared his HOH beers in the backyard, which made most of them happy. Ava floated around the bikini groups in what I saw described as a moo moo nightgown, and a Victorian child look. A steak dinner was planned for Will's nine-year wedding anniversary tomorrow, and Vince planned to wish his girlfriend a happy seven-year dating anniversary on next week's live show. Jimmy fell asleep in the yard and got himself a royal sunburn - day drinking problems. Kelley applied aloe and later he said it didn't hurt much. Zae also got sunburned. Rylie discovered a leaking watermelon and was momentarily annoyed about living with slobs, and said something about people who have probably had everything done for them all their lives. He cleaned it up, but Team Ants got into formation just in case he missed a spot. Rachel retold the setting for her famous floaters comment (by request). Juggling lessons happened, with pool balls - a risky choice.

They got some or all of their confiscated clothing back, which made them happy. Kelley showed her finale outfit, and Will said "don't save it for finale" - ouch and oops. Someone else said they all go to finale anyway so she can and should save it. Kelley mentioned Taylor's stunning finale outfit, and that reminded me of how all the anti-Taylor mess pretty much started when she showed the sequin jumpsuit to the girls at this point that season. Will told Morgan "I'm buggin' that Zae said that to you" which referred to Zae saying if he stays and wins HOH next week, he wouldn't nominate whoever voted him to stay, and that he was offering that deal to everyone - except Will, apparently, so far. Will asked Morgan if that's why she'd been crying and she said no, that was because Keanu called her a snake, and she launched into that again. Later she did it yet again for Amy and Rachel. Zae eased up his manic fast-talking campaign rounds (whew) but he'll probably get back to it.

Kelley sobbed on her own, a lot and for a long time, saying she thought she could do something cool and different, but now she thinks she fucked up.. yep! Later she brought up Tucker so maybe the "something cool and different" was trying to emulate his reckless moves? That would make sense, or could, if she had his social skills and charisma. Dinner happened for most of them, and most ate at the counter or standing up. The dining table remains largely unused, with place settings still in house tour position.

Kelley made it to the yard and the hammock group of Amy, Ashley, Rachel (who might be formalized as Girls Girls alliance, I'm not sure). She told her tales of woe and confusion, and cleared up some things, which went over well. They did some vote counting (two potential nominees present!) and Ashley told her she thinks it's 50/50 that Kelley's going.

They said they'd heard Kelley volunteered for the block, which she denied, saying that would be stupid. Quite a bit later she asked who said that, but got no names. (Obviously it came from Vince, but via whom I didn't know until later, when someone said Keanu was spreading that tidbit.) Amy asked Kelley if she'd told Vince to put her (Amy) up, Kelley said no, and all three said they'd heard she did. Kelley said if she stays, she does not want HOH but when pressed in case she does, she eventually said she'd put up Jimmy and Keanu "and let them duke it out themselves." She cried some more, and some girltalk, personal stories, and bonding happened. When Kelley left, all three agreed they'd decided to keep Kelley over Zae after this talk. (They'd still keep Amy over Kelley.) Kelley reported to Vince, saying they made her promise them safety if she stays and wins HOH, and he said with Zae gone, "that's zero risk/all reward for them." Kelley said "they got in my head, [Rachel] got in my head so easy!" Vince said that's her game, that's her reputation. (It's not her reputation, but it is her game this year.) Kelley later said she'd wanted to play like Tucker, so I guessed right on that one. Zae got back on his intense, breathless campaign trail, after Adrian told him he might not have the votes to stay.

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 has first week immunity and is automatic Have-not. The other HNs (Ava, Will, Zach) also have immunity.
