A flip is underway (of course) — this time for a split vote
Tuesday was Red‘s birthday and his fellow “Big Brother 25” houseguests gift to him was to vote him out.
In news that will shock absolutely no one, vote-flip shenanigans started to keep Jag and boot Red instead on Thursday. This was partially prompted by suspicions that Red was mending his relationship with Cameron, which Jared, unbeknownst to them, had severed over the weekend by suggesting to Red that Cam had thrown him under the bus, leading to the most dramatic breakup this side of a soap opera. Seriously, it was like “Brokeback Mountain” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” had a baby. Upon being told that Red had tossed out her name, Felicia pushed for them to stick to their original plan of one of Red or Cameron going.

Later, Cirie, plotted a vote-flip with her real child, Jared, and newest child, Matt. And unlike the past four weeks, she wants this one to be a split vote at 6-4. She, Matt, Cameron and Bowie would evict Jag, while Felicia, Cory, America, Izzy, Mecole and Blue would evict Red. They could really just do 8-2, but this gives her and Matt the option to pin their votes on Cory and America. It’s overly complicated and unnecessary, but Cirie is going to Cirie, and this plan will change about 13 more times before Thursday. America gave Jag a heads-up that he might have the votes to stay this time but advised him not to tell anyone and to casually campaign on Wednesday.

Since last week, Matt has really become Cirie’s new fave kid between this scheming and then imploring him not to tell anyone, especially Felicia, about it. Cirie appears to be turning on Felicia, who cannot keep a secret and blurts out plans and convos to anyone and everyone. Cirie spent some time Tuesday warning Cory that he is high on Felicia’s hit list and that she is OK with Felicia leaving after Cameron and Red. Cirie is probably annoyed by Felicia’s loose lips, but she likely does not want to actually lose one of her closest allies that soon. Instead, she’s trying to build trust with other people and break their trust with Felicia (or whoever) to maintain her 360-degree protection. This is what you do when you’re a social game queen.
So the current plan is for Red to go with a split vote, but there’s a lot of time left before Thursday, and based on the past month, there’s a greater chance of them circling back to evicting Jag unanimously (again).
