Houseguests faced the return of the Yankee Swap equivalent of the Power of Veto competition this weekend in the Big Brother 25 house and as always, that delivered some ridiculous punishments plus a few nice prizes. We’ve got your round up of everything won, good or bad, for the BB25 HGs.
Cameron was playing as HOH along with his nominees Felicia and Izzy, so they were already destined to get something here, but then Matt, Jared, and Jag were selected to join in as well. When the dust settled there were some winners and loser.
Prizes – Veto Week 6:
First up are the good parts! There were some nice prices from what we’ve heard (official details coming in Wednesday’s episode) as there usually are.
- PoV – Jared
- $5,000 – Jag
- Europe trip – Cameron
From what we’ve heard described, Matt may have earned the top spot in the competition but he said he was trying to figure out if he should take the Veto from Jared or leave it with him. There was a reference by Matt to Jared of “since you had already done all the dirty work” which I would guess meant Jared had taken the Veto already from other HGs. Matt isn’t on the prizes list though. He took something he thought might be good. Well, I guess it’s not “bad” per se.
Punishments – Veto Week 6:
Matt – Duhamel-a-maniac:
Matt got a woodsy/lumberjack themed outfit and a life-size cardboard cutout of Josh Duhamel (cross promotion by CBS for “Buddy Games”). When BB announces it Matt has to go take a selfie with the cutout using a Polaroid camera. HGs have been allowed to join in with Matt for the photos.
Flashback to 9:26 PM BBT 9/9 to see Matt’s new outfit & cardboard Josh arrive.
Felicia – Tandem Kayak:
Felicia got it a little worse and she’s bringing Cirie down with her. The duo received life vests, helmets, and paddles. Anywhere they want to go in the house will have to be done together walking in the kayak (cut out so they can stand). When they move somewhere where they need to get out (like the bathroom) they have special towels to lay down and treat as their dock.
Flashback to 7:20 PM BBT 9/9 to watch the arrival of the kayak costumes.
Izzy – Piggy Pals:
Izzy’s was probably the worst, but it also lasted the shortest time overall. Like Felicia, Izzy had to select a partner and Cameron earned that spot. The pair were dressed in piggy costumes (pajama onesies) and then set up in the backyard for a long night. Izzy and Cameron had to carry dirt from one side of the backyard to another with a collective 2,000 trips between them (when walking together each lap counted as two trips). They each had to use a small mug to scoop dirt from one pile and walk back towards the house, toss it in a trough, and then head back to do it all again.
Flashback to 11:25 PM BBT 9/9 as Izzy and Cameron begin their task.
The pair had just twelve hours to complete the task of 2,000 laps (the amount of dirt transferred wasn’t the part that counts). No sleep for these little piggies. The pair stayed with it, taking occasional breaks, and then finished Sunday morning just after 7AM BBT. We don’t know exactly when because once Cameron and Izzy were down to just a few laps left production cut the Feeds as a big “screw you” to Feedsters who had been watching. When the Feeds returned much later the piggy pair was back inside, HGs were still asleep, and the challenge was completed.
We’ll get to see all of these prizes and punishments, along with the Power of Veto competition, play out on Wednesday’s Veto episode (8/7c).
