4:45PM BBT: Felicia and Cirie are talking with each other outside. They’re discussing all the events of the last few weeks, why Meme was evicted, and making other (mostly correct) observations based on all the intel Cameron gave them today. Cirie feels he really gave it all up to them today. They begin a serious strategy session. They feel they’re being used as “perpetual pawns” to keep backdoor options open, with no one getting too much blood on their hands or showing their hand too soon. Felicia says maybe they should just let them “knock each other out while we hang in the background.” She says she “may sit down with Cory, or Cory and America” and tell them, “you know y’all are prime pickins” next. Cirie says it’d be ideal to “pull Blue over to them,” but they both question whether they can trust her. Cirie says says Bowie is “now riding with them,” referring to Matt and Jag. Cirie says she’s going for HoH, and Felicia agrees, saying “you can’t lay low this late in the game.” Felicia says if there’s another double eviction that “can take out both Matt and Jag, it would be ideal.” Cirie says Jag has spearheaded everything, and mentions Jared leaving, then Meme. She says Jared was a physical competition threat, and that’s why they got rid of him. [I’ve heard a good bit about another double eviction, but not a Battle Back competition. Some players haven’t positioned themselves well - and that’s an understatement - if this unfolds. Even if Cameron leaves this week, I wouldn’t count him out permanently. I can’t imagine this season without a Battle Back competition, they’re usually tough physical competitions, and it could be epic! ~Angel411]

11:50PM BBT: Matt had joined Jag, Blue and Bowie I’m the HoH room. They’re very loud and likely a little hammered from the alcohol; Jag tries to quiet them a couple of times. 11:55PM BBT: DRINKING AND CRYING IN THE HOH AT MIDNIGHT. Cameron has joined Bowie, Blue, Jag and Matt in the HoH room. They’re discussing past events in the game, talk about Izzy’s eviction, and how cut throat it all becomes. The camera on Bowie shows her looking up at Matt, then suddenly jumping off the floor saying “Oh Matty!!” and rushing over to him. Matt has broken down in tears apparently, and the feeds immediately show Cameron, Bowie, Jag and Blue all engulfing him in a giant group hug. They come apart, with Jag staying close to Matt with his arm around him, and Matt’s eyes tell it all. [I always think of this as the BB House alcohol effect, it tends to provoke the conscience in a select few ~Angel411]

11:07PM BBT: Cameron and America are talking alone in the hammock. They’re revisiting the entire game, talking about the pressure cooker competition and many different things that happened in the game. Cameron seems aware that he’s going on the block as a replacement nominee at the Veto Ceremony. [It sounds like he’s beginning to campaign, maybe knowing America is his best shot ~Angel411] 11:10PM BBT: Jag, Blue and Bowie are enjoying a charcuterie board and what seems to be alcohol (beer?) from Bowie’s HoH basket, general chit-chat mixed with game talk. 11:30PM BBT: Cameron and America are still talking in the hammock. To summarize, he seems to know the plan is for him to be the replacement nominee, and he seems to believe it’s Jag’s and Matt’s idea; he references a talk he had with Jag earlier in the day. He discusses a plan involving “four votes” [I believe those four votes would be to keep him, and would be Cory, America, Felicia, and Blue ~Angel411] He tells her he believes Cirie will remain on the block this week, because anyone sitting next to her would go home. He tells America he “knows those two weren’t going to take him to final two” and that he was just doing whatever he could to stay in the house another week, another two weeks. She’s taking it all in. He tells her they will steamroll all of the remaining players one by one, once he (Cam) is out of the house. She fishes around for a name of their alliance (The Fugitives) and Cameron gives up absolutely nothing, telling her she just wants a name so she can go back to the others and name-drop. He points out to her that he’s told her, week by week, exactly what would happen, and that’s exactly what has happened. He goes over some examples. They’ve been talking in the hammock for at least 45 minutes at this point. She whispers “I want to believe you,” and he tells her, then do. They go inside. America stops to brush her teeth, then goes to Cory who is waiting in bed in Scrambleverse, and begins to relay the conversation to him. Cam heads up to the HoH room.

8:25PM BBT: Cam is alone with Bowie again in the HoH room, Blue having left the HoH and going to the Scaryverse where Jag and Matt are. Cam is still trying to convince Bowie to backdoor Cory. Bowie is trying to understand why that would be good for her game. He tells her what’s good for his game is good for her game. Cam tells Bowie “that kid is forming an army with everyone in the house.” He continues on, saying that Cory makes deals with everyone in the house, but then those people end up going home. Cam tells Bowie that they are good for each other’s game, and that he “has her.” He tells her that Cory won’t hesitate to make a big move, and if he (Cam) goes up on the block, Bowie would go up next to him, saying he’s heard her name. She looks a little surprised (and dubious), and asks him “when?” He replies “days,” meaning very recently. He again says he won’t “talk circles” or pressure her. 8:37PM BBT: Felicia comes up to the HoH room. Cam leaves and goes to the Scaryverse where Jag and Blue are. Felicia says she just wants to tell Bowie she isn’t mad. She tells Bowie she hopes the veto competition isn’t OTEV. She tells Bowie again she isn’t mad, but is “in a funk.” 8:45PM BBT: Matt is talking to Bowie alone in the HoH room. He starts planting seeds with Bowie about Cam and “all the people he’s sold out.” Bowie tells Matt she does not want to put Cam up. She tells him she’d be “more comfortable doing Cory” as a backdoor. Matt throws out a few things to point out to Bowie that Cory isn’t a big threat. He says “the thing about Cam is that he wins so many competitions.” He tries to convince Bowie that Cam and Blue are a duo, and that she should get Cam out this week. [Matt sounds somewhat rambling, a little nervous, and not entirely convincing during this whole exchange. I’m wondering if Bowie is picking up on it. ~Angel411] Matt then tells Bowie that everyone wants Cam gone. Bowie asks, “Then who does Blue want out?” Matt replied that for the whole month, Blue has wanted Cam out, but something has changed the last couple of days. He tells her that after Cam, Blue should be the next target.

7:53PM BBT: Matt leaves the Scaryverse and gets Cory and America, who are in bed in the Scrambleverse. The three of them return to the Scaryverse, where Jag is still lying on the bed. The four of them talk about the fact that Bowie doesn’t want to backdoor anyone, but that maybe the four of them (Matt, Jag, Cory and America) can convince her to. The four of them discuss strategies to convince Bowie to backdoor Cam. Cory says they need to tell her “it’s not a big move, it’s a house move.” And to tell Bowie that if Cory gets put on the block (presumably by Cam), she would be put up next to him, and she’d go home. Jag says they need to tell Bowie that Cam isn’t loyal to anyone and will do whatever to make it to the end [pot/kettle? ~Angel411] Jag then says they should tell Bowie that “they’ll protect her until final five” if she backdoors Cam. Next they discuss how and when the four of them can talk to Bowie alone, noting that Blue and Cam are in the HoH.

7:25PM BBT: Bowie and Cam leave the kitchen and go up to the HoH room together. Bowie says the house is going crazy now. Cam asks, who? And asks her for specifics, names. She says, well, Blue and Cory. Bowie tells Cam she doesn’t want to backdoor anyone, saying “it’s not how I play.” Cam tells her in no uncertain terms that he wants Cory back-doored this week. She tells him she “doesn’t want the whole house on my ass.” Bowie says she thinks Cory threw the competition this week. Cam tells her no, he didn’t. Cam tells her again the best move she can make this week is to backdoor Cory. But that it’s her HoH and her decision. They both see Blue coming to the HoH room on the TV. Cam gets very annoyed, saying “Can I get a goddamn minute! She wants to be in my face all day.” 7:33PM BBT: Blue rings the doorbell to the HoH room. She comes in and asks if she can listen to some music. Bowie says sure! Bowie gets cheesecake out and offers some to Blue, who declines, saying she doesn’t like cream cheese. Bowie sits on the floor at the coffee table and offers Cam some cheesecake. He says no thanks. He’s sitting quietly, looking annoyed. Bowie says, “So, veto tomorrow.” Blue says she has a question. She says, “when it gets down to only three people, is it just three people in the house for a whole week?” Cam explains how the last week works, with competitions between the three remaining players to determine the final two for finale night. Blue says she wondered what three people would do in the house for an entire week. Cam responds, “talk, share memories.” [He still appears annoyed, and his speech is a little clipped ~Angel411] 7:44PM BBT: Jag and Matt are talking in the Scaryverse. They’re discussing veto picks for tomorrow, and different scenarios. They decide to talk to Bowie tonight about back-dooring Cam, and pitching to her the three of them (Matt, Jag and Bowie) going forward together.

1:20PM BBT: Matt and Bowie are talking in HoH room. [came in at end of this conversation, didn’t catch much ~Angel411] It sounds like Bowie’s nominations have been firmed up, and it’s Felicia and Cirie. They discuss her reasoning for this, and that it’ll be the not too bloody for Bowie or the game going forward. Matt leaves to let her finish her nomination talks with others. 1:25PM BBT: Felicia comes into the HoH room to talk with Bowie. She tells Bowie that Bowie isn’t a target for her, and if she wins HoH next week, Bowie is safe. Bowie responds fairly quickly, and does tell Felicia that she isn’t really a target for her, either. Bowie hesitates for a moment and says “Am I supposed to do this?” (meaning tell who her nominations are, BB rules), and Felicia tells her yes, she can. So Bowie tells her she’s going to put her and Cirie on the block. She tells Felicia she feels like she’s been “out of the group since the Red thing” and basically this is her best option at this point. She tells Felicia “I’m sorry to have to do this” in a nice, genuine way, and tells her there won’t be any nastiness at the nomination ceremony. Felicia accepts it, and leaves the HoH after only a few minutes. 1:30PM BBT: After Felicia leaves the HoH room, Bowie sticks her head out the door and says “anyone else?” The Fugitives (Matt, Cam and Jag) are sitting on the bench in the upstairs lounge area. They tell her to come out to them, so she does. She tells them essentially the deed has been done (the talks are over), she seems relieved. She chats with them for a moment, they talk about how rude some of the HG’s were to Bowie as well as them, actually telling them to leave the room if they walked in on conversations. Bowie mentions that it was also that conversation (among her own alliance) would just stop if she came into a room. The Fugitives have relief written all over their faces, and Cam says “Let’s just have fun!” Bowie then says she needs to get dressed, and that she “looks like shit.” One of them says, “no, you don’t.” She leaves them to get dressed. 1:35PM BBT: WBRB on feeds.

9:25PM BBT: Live feeds still on RCHS.

6:15PM BBT: All ten houseguests are eating dinner (meatloaf) together. 8:00PM BBT: Live feeds are on RCHS.

1:05PM BBT: Cory, in the hammock with Jag and Matt sitting next to them, gets up to go inside because he’s hot and overdressed for the sun. Felicia has wandered over to them, and takes Cory’s place on the hammock. She does a little campaign pitch to Jag and Matt. She tells them she’ll vote with them (maybe anticipating the potential for a backdoor?) and then mentions that the mental comps are coming, and says she’ll help them study. She then says she can see the two of them (Matt and Jag) in the final two. There’s a short awkward silence. She then tells them she has “no ill will” against Meme, and will never speak badly about her. 1:24PM BBT: Cam and Cory are talking at the bar in the kitchen, across from each other. Cory is chattering away and seems a little nervous. Cory mentions numbers, how few of them are left. Cam just says it should be a simple week. Cory replies that next week should be, too (after just suggesting to Jag moments before that Cam should be next week’s target). [This is turning into a full-on poker game convo, really interesting. Cam is super chill, Cory is babbling away ~Angel411] Cory continues to talk game and strategy, Cam replies he’s not thinking too far out. Cory appears to be on an entirely different track. Cam tells him that in any scenario, he (Cam) is probably the target next week. Cam is skillfully arguing with some of Cory’s game strategy talk, without appearing the least bit argumentative. [Cory continues with more philosophical game talk, and Cam’s having none of it ~ Angel411] Cam finally tells Cory that his (Cory’s) anxiety is from trying to control unpredictable outcomes that’ll happen in the future. They discuss big game moves vs “happy moves.” Cam points out that those who make “the happy move” end up out of the house. Cory then questions, with certain game moves, whether or not “the time is now.” Cam replies “You’re asking the wrong guy. The time is now.” Cory tries to reframe his point, and Cam again says “The time is always now.” [This convo got deep with the unspoken, and I’m pretty sure they were feeling each other! ~ Angel411] Cam then says to Cory, “this week can be boring. Let it be boring. Then Thursday, bear down.” He then leaves the kitchen and walks outside to the patio.

12:45PM BBT: Jag and Cory are talking in the hammock. Cory tells Jag that Cam is “playing the middle” between him (Cory) and America, and Matt and Jag. Cory says he’s not really sure where Cam is. But that Cam leaving would be better for all of them. He mentions to Jag to think about going after Blue. Cory says he thinks Cam trusts Matt and Jag more, but Cam knows he’s better off with him (Cory) and America with winning comps. Cory’s been talking somewhat nervously almost nonstop; Jag is mostly taking it in, responding with “yeah….yeah….” and listening. Cory says that Cam in the house can “fuck up our shit more than anything else,” then noted that Cam can’t play for HoH next week. Cory then says they need to think about getting Cam out next, or, that they could “pussy out” and put up Blue and Cirie. Jag is noncommittal, just saying, “there’s a lot of time….” Cory finally asks Jag point blank, “do you agree with Cam being the next target?” Jag artfully skirts the question, and says (again in a noncommittal way) “maybe; dude just wins comps.” 1:00PM BBT: Matt and his plastic flosser joins Jag and Cory at the hammock, shutting down the current game talk between Cory and Jag.

12:06PM BBT: Cam and Bowie meet up briefly in the storage room. Cam tells her the plan is still the same. Bowie mentions a few comments Felicia made in reference to going after Cam. Cam kinda laughs and says, yeah (as in, that’s why she’s on the block). Cam leaves and heads immediately to the HoH. 12:10PM BBT: Matt and Cam having a serious strategy session in the HoH room. They’re discussing back-dooring Cory this week. Cam tells Matt he thinks Jag seems reluctant. Cam says it’s a team vote, and he won’t go against the team. Cam says he has a “gut feeling, the kid’s got to go.” They discuss others, specifically Blue, who want them (the Fugitives) to take the shot at Cory. Matt says he’s down with the plan to go ahead and take the shot at Cory this week (backdoor). Matt says it’ll be an awkward few days. Cam says Cory will pace and “run holes in his shoes” and they reminisce about Izzy’s eviction week (the similarity). Cam says evicting Felicia would be the “easy house” move, and evicting Cory would shake up the house, and all the relationships in the house. They return to talk about Jag’s reluctance about taking the shot at Cory. Matt mentions Cory is very nervous right now. Cam agrees and says yes, of course he’s nervous right now. Cam says he understands Cory, saying “he’s playing my game” and strategizing. He says Cory knows they (the Fugitives) can beat him in the physical comps. Cam mentions his gut feeling again about back-dooring Cory, saying “when I get a gut feeling, I’m right.” Matt tells Cam he’ll talk to Jag (to figure out where he is, and why). They both agree that if Cory is on the block with Meme, the vote would be 6-1. Cam says Cory is building coalitions in the house with everyone but them. Matt says Felicia basically sold him out yesterday, telling Matt that Cory would come after them (the Fugitives) the first chance he gets. Cam and Matt look at the TV screen and notice that Jag and Cory are going to the hammock to talk. [As a side note, I’m getting concerned about Matt’s plastic flosser addiction LOL ~Angel411]

10:08AM BBT: Cam, Felicia and Cirie are on the patio talking in bathrobes, having coffee. Felicia tells Cam he’s on fire (doing very well in the game), he replies he’s doing his best. Felicia then says to Cam (in an accusatory, unpleasant tone), “I wanted to see Zingbot, Cam.” He replies that it would’ve been hilarious, that “Zingbot would not have been kind to you,” making no apologies or regrets of any kind. 10:09AM BBT: Cory and America on hammock, half dressed, idle talk. 10:12AM BBT: Cam, Felicia and Cirie still together on the patio. They’re looking at the mural on the outside walls of the backyard. The mamas don’t seem to understand part of it. Cam explains to them that the part on the horizon (not the forefront) is the same image, upside down (or reversed, or something). They all look at it. The mamas start to see it, then talk turn to whether one of the buildings is the Empire State Building, or another building. And exactly what city it is (is it New York, and the Burroughs, etc).

10:12PM BBT: Jared and Blue are in the HoH room, on the bed. They’re discussing game possibilities. They bring up Bowie, and who she’d put up. Jared says Cory, America, then Felicia. He seems very quiet and serious tonight. 10:23PM BBT: Matt leaves the Have-Not room. Cirie and Jag continue to talk. Cirie says she really, really wants to win HoH this week not just for herself, but also to take certain others with her to safety next week. 10:27PM BBT: Jared and Blue still talking in the HoH room. Jared says “Meme wants Jag gone.” Blue asks “why?” Jared says people underestimate Jag. He says everyone would put up Cory and America. But says Jag is “toxic” for him. Blue is listening quietly as he’s saying this. They continue to discuss different outcomes and scenarios. Jared says he really wishes he could play for HoH this week. 10:35PM BBT: A FLIP IN THE WORKS? Jared next says if he could save Cam, he’d be guaranteed safety another week. Blue responds that she doesn’t think enough people could be swayed. Blue said if things go sideways “you’ll be fucked.” He replies “I’m fucked anyway.” Blue says she’s hesitant to even talk to others about keeping Cam. Jared says there’s a way to do it, to feel things out, without actually suggesting it outright. He said if enough were willing to do it “I could just split that motherfucker” meaning break the tie. Blue says ok let’s think about it; let’s think it through. She says the only people he might convince (to save Cam) would be Cirie, Felicia, Meme, and Bowie; not Jag or Matt. But the others could possibly be swayed. Jared says “maybe Matt.” Blue says “I really don’t like that” (the idea). He chewing his fingernails and thinking seriously. He said one advantage (to saving Cam) would be a bigger target in the house next week (than him). Then says, “worst case scenario, we both go on the block next week, and Cam goes home.” Blue tells Jared that if people even “catch wind of this” and it doesn’t work, it’ll backfire and he (Jared) will go home next week for sure. She says he should’ve started “planting seeds earlier, right after veto comp,” and this is almost Wednesday. He disagrees, and says Wednesday is the best day to do it. He asks her if she’s “definitely not down to do it.” She replies, no, she isn’t. And adds that for her personal game, she’d rather “keep the salvageable relationship” (America). 10:45PM BBT: Blue says to Jared worst case scenario, Camerica win HoH this week, and Jared goes up with Cirie. They continue talking possible scenarios. Jared is still chewing his fingernails, wheels turning. 11:05PM BBT: Jared is still thinking and talking to Blue. He’s still worried about getting through next week, and keeping Cam in order to do it. Blue says again she really doesn’t think it’s a good idea. He says “ok, I’ll listen to you.” [I’m not convinced he will listen to her. He seems to be coming down off the HoH high, and genuinely considering it; likely to try to guarantee his own safety next week ~Angel411]

10:05PM BBT: Cirie, Matt and Jag are talking in the Have-Not room. They’re discussing Cam, and how he’s told everyone different stories. And that basically he did things to bring his situation on himself. Cirie says she’ll only be happy “when those doors close and he’s with Julie.” They seem anxious about a possible twist that could keep Cam in the game. They move on with conversation about other things. Jag mentions being homesick; that he really hadn’t been, until now. Cirie mentions that they’re only halfway through, pointing out that tomorrow is day 50.
