Big Brother 20: HoH Comp and Nominations Show Blog Party - August 26


As the show airs here, I'll be live-blogging it -- refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the discussion!

Tonight the HoH comp that didn't air on the live show Thursday nor on the live feeds will be shown. Plus, we get the nominations. Woot!

Please remember the show posts, like this one, are spoiler-free zones. While many already know the PoV winner and more, it has not played out on the show. Feel free to post spoiler comments on any of the live feeds posts, but not here ... also please don't ask for spoilers information in this post. Thank you!

Sitting through "previously on..."

Finally ... the hamsters are up to their necks in balls for the HoH comp! Fessy tells us how proud he is of his HoH reign. Tyler tells us again that he doesn't want to win this HoH. They're all in pools of balls searching for ones with a token inside. They can exchange tokens for a balls from Fessy. Then they roll a ball down a sloped and obstacled chute. They can lock in the score they get or go for more.

JC is just having fun with it all. Both Haleigh and Brett want the win. Kaycee also wants the win. Sam seems to be just collecting tons of tokens. She gives some to both Brett and Haleigh for promises not to put her up. 

Angela locks in her score of 39 out of 40. Only 40 and a perfect roll can beat her. Tyler got a 38, but it's not good enough. Brett also came close. 

Angela wins HoH!

Haleigh and Fessy hope their new "alliance" members stick with them. Of course, they're also the ones who think no one knows they're a showmance couple. 

Fessy thinks Angela will target Sam. Tyler thinks he will be able to get by without ever using his Cloud Power App -- it expires this week.  

Uh-oh -- Haleigh sees Level 6/4 members celebrating. She is suspicious of the four person alliance which she feels should be Tyler, Angela, Fessy and herself. She tells Fessy. He doesn't believe it. He's smart like that. Haleigh is sure she will go up, just doesn't know who will be on the block with her. Fessy is still confident. @@ 

Meanwhile, Brett and Kaycee are pushing Angela to put up Fessy and Haleigh. She thinks putting Sam up would get less "blood on her hands." Heh. Haleigh offered herself as a pawn to Angela (thinking Sam as the other nominee). 

Fessy wants to deal with the HoH himself -- "Haleigh, your man has this. Let me deal with it." So, he tries telling Angela what to do and it includes neither himself, nor Haleigh. Angela nodded a lot, but she'll do what she wants. He brags to Haleigh about how he told Angela ...! Now even Haleigh is ready to rise up against him. "You're not the boss of me!" She knows that Tyer and Angela owe her nothing and have reasons to target her.

She gets even more irked when he tells her she has an attitude because she told him not to talk down to her or over her. Yep, a match made in heaven! 

A segment of how JC likes feeding them since he can't win comps. He does up hot dogs for a backyard picnic and more. 

Into a segment on girls Tyler would like. Tyler tells us Angela is distracting. Angela tells us that Tyler is her best friend in the house. Tyler promises us he won't throw his game away for a showmance. Angela admits to us that she has a crush on him. Uh-oh. JC catches them snuggling.  

Tyler's happy because he can hang out in the HoH room with her. Now, he's a Have Not, so he can't sleep there. 

Tyler and Angela talk noms. She seems to seriously be considering sending Sam out with noms of Sam and Haleigh with Fessy as a renom if needed. Unlike Fessy, Tyler told her he'd support her in whatever she decides.

JC talks to Brett. JC doesn't want himself on the block, not at all. He thinks that Fessy and Haleigh need to go on the block. Brett agrees. Then JC goes to Tyler and Angela. He tells them the danger of putting Haleigh and Sam on the block is that Fessy could win veto and take Haleigh down. If both Haleigh and Fessy on the block, one would go home. When asked JC said he would indeed send Fessy packing -- the only reason he had gotten close to him was to spy on him for Tyler, Angela, etc. 

Fessy and Haleigh bicker a bit more. Fessy is so sure that Angela will make "the right move." He goes to talk to Angela. She tells him she's leaning making Haleigh a pawn. Fessy asks if Sam would go home. She told him yes. He thinks that Sam would be best to go home, no one would save her. Angela tells us that Haleigh will be safe, sitting on the block next to him. He is so clueless! 

Nominations ceremony time! Angela first nominates Haleigh, then Fessy. She says they were a day late and a dollar short -- the last minute alliance doesn't benefit her at all and raised red flags. 

Haleigh cries because if she stays and Fessy goes, she's an island. Fessy tells us he feels dumb that he didn't see it coming. JC laughs about his puppetmaster skillz.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday - August 26

Did horribly in comp, but had fun

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Sore Loser:
  • Before I get really started, I once again want to call out CBS ALL ACCESS for NOT showing the feeds from 12:00am ET to 1:38am ET while they aired that content on BBAD on Pop TV. We PAY for the live feeds. If new feeds content is to air anywhere, it should be on the live feeds we PAY for each month. Sure, put on both. But your paying customers for the live feeds should not be left watching rerun after rerun if live material is available.
  • ::: putting soapbox away :::
  • From what they're saying (and they're saying a lot), the PoV was a new comp done in three rounds.
  • The first round had something like an automatic ball pitching machine shooting them slimy goop and balls they were supposed to catch. The second round had four scorpions also pitching balls (or something like that). The last round had them catching squids in their mouths ... or something to that effect.
  • The participants -- at least Angela, Haleigh, JC, Kaycee and Sam keep going back and forth about how horrible and hard it was to how much fun they had.
  • What about Fessy, you ask?
  • He's too busy being miserable.
  • He lost the comp to a GIRL.
  • By one point. Kaycee scored 33; Fessy 32.
  • Haleigh got 13. But she's not as grumpy as Fessy.
  • Although, Haleigh does have more of a reason to be optimistic this week.
  • Angela told her she (Angela) has no vote and Haleigh isn't the target.
  • Haleigh tried to mix in with the rest after the comp and during the Have Not feast a bit.
  • Fessy exiled himself, barely speaking a word to anyone when he happened to pass through.
  • Well, he spoke with Haleigh in the beginning and JC went to him later on.
  • Fessy is sure he will be evicted this week.
  • He's right. He's the one they want gone.
  • He told JC he doesn't want to wait out the "long ass week" and wants to go home now. It should have been his comp to win. Everybody at home is going to laugh at him because he lost this comp. And on and on.
  • Meanwhile, Level 6/4 celebrated the win with stashed wine from Angela's HoH basket.
  • They are worried about a jury battle back and a double eviction, but it was time to celebrate.
  • Brett thinks that this week will be a jury battle back and next week a double.
  • I think he's probably right. We know he's right about the first part.
  • Oh my gosh! What if Fessy loses the battle back to a GIRL?!?!
  • Heh.
  • Both Sam and JC, who haven't played many veto comps, did poorly but had a great time nonetheless.
  • JC, of course, is claiming his poor performance on being a Have Not.
  • Sam is just saying she did poorly ... but she smiles when saying it. I think it was good for her psyche to participate.
  • That is, even if Fessy pushed Haleigh to choose Sam as HG Choice in hopes Sam might win and take him off the block.
  • From what they said, not only were Brett and Tyler tucked away in the HoH room with no spy screen access, they were each sequestered in different areas and not allowed to talk.
  • I guess that's why they were told to bring snacks just before the feeds cut out.
  • Today should be relatively quiet -- they're all exhausted and there are no comps or meetings to be had.
  • Things are kind of set in stone for the week.
  • Fessy says he just wants to go home, he will not campaign to stay.
  • Kaycee will not use the veto.
  • Yep, it's gonna be a "long ass week."
  • Then excitement will make a comeback on Thursday! 

Dropping Fessy like a hot potato?

I think she treasured being in the comp

Sulking

Level 6/4 celebrates with HoH wine

I've had it. I want to go home ... now.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Saturday, PoV - August 25


Today is just a quickie update as the live feeds were blocked much of the day -- first for the veto players pick and then for the veto comp itself:
  • The veto players in addition to Angela, Fessy and Haleigh are JC, Sam and Kaycee.
  • Haleigh got HG Choice and chose Sam because Fessy told her to do so.
  • Then she got all upset because she and Sam don't really like each other and she thinks Sam would take Fessy off the block if she wins veto.
  • You know for sure that if JC or Kaycee win it, they won't use it.
  • I actually don't think Sam would either -- JC would be the likely one to go on the block and she wouldn't want that.
  • Haleigh is so upset at Fessy that she could chew her toenails if only she could reach them.
  • Just before the feeds cut for the comp, they were told to gather in the living room and bring snacks.
  • I have no clue what's up with that. 
  • I've been playing the waiting game -- watching Live PD on television with the feeds on low on my computer.
  • Feeds went down at 4pm ET. 
  • Excuse me, CBS. Why is BBAD showing Tyler and Brett in the HoH room (sequester) while we PAY for CBS All Access and have no feeds at all -- just previously reran reruns? 
  • 1:38am ET, the live feeds finally returned.
 
Kaycee won the Power of Veto

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Saturday - August 25

Will she be someone's Victoria?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Drama Llamas:
  • At least it now has dawned on Fessy how much he sucks at the game.
  • He thinks everyone (at home) is laughing at him because he's been so dumb.
  • But, to his credit, he's even laughing at himself (and his alliance) now.
  • That is making Haleigh even more miserable.
  • After all, they're now on the block together.
  • Every time Fessy laughed at himself or the way they've played the game, Haleigh would complain that it's not funny.
  • Oh, but it is!
  • Of course, no one thinks they're a couple (wink, wink), so the only reason they're on the block together is because they're the last two from their side ... after getting rid of their own third person this past week.
  • Haleigh thinks that, of the two, she has no real chance of winning the game and Fessy should be the one who remains.
  • Fessy is willing to give it all up for her to have the chance.
  • Perhaps because he's been so active in sports, he's definitely treating things more like a game to be won or lost, then move on.
  • In the Level 6/4 land, Brett told Angela, Tyler and Kaycee his big job lie.
  • None seemed all that shocked or impressed that he actually works in cybersecurity.
  • I personally still don't understand the need he felt to lie about it.
  • I think they just might feel the same way.
  • Level 6/4 did a lot of days studying.
  • They talked about comps they expect.
  • Haleigh wants the chicken wire/egg comp because her fingers are small. Fessy thinks he would do horrible at that one.
  • Veto is later today.
  • Angela would prefer no changes in nominations. If someone gets saved, she will have a dilemma with renom. Whomever is put up at that point wouldn't be the target at all -- they want it to be either Haleigh or Fessy going.
  • We know that whichever one stays, their force will be up to two still after Thursday due to the jury battle back. All jury members are from "that side."
  • But, if Fessy remains and Scottie comes back, he just might gun for Fessy.
  • Level 6/4 talked about how impressed they are with JC -- how smart he is, how he's taught himself English within six months and still asks about different words to learn more.
  • Brett says he's never met a gay guy like JC who's just himself, no way stereotypical, etc. Kaycee mentioned a lot of gay people are like that. Brett said he's probably known some, but they've never said they were gay.
  • Angela has to decide Have Nots today. Tyler, Sam and JC will be eating well at midnight and a new three will take their places. 
  • Before nominations, Angela was saying she was going make Fessy, Haleigh and Brett the Have Nots.
  • It would be such a shame that Haleigh and Fessy are both on the block AND Have Nots!
  • Heh.
  • JC tried to reassert himself in the standing with Tyler, telling him that Angela and Kaycee have a final two deal and beware.
  • JC also tried to reassert himself with new best friend Brett, telling him that Brett is lowest on the Angela, Tyler and Kaycee totem pole and that Brett should not discuss game with Angela.
  • JC is the only hamster who's never been on the block.
  • Will he end up there if Angela makes him a renom after veto?
  • And ... what has Sam been up to?
  • Well, her first try of the nicotine patch resulted in sleeplessness and a vivd nightmare, so she will sleep without them.
  • She cleaned the whole house hoping to tire herself so she could sleep well before today's veto.
  • She didn't curb-stomp anyone, but did make a weird comment to herself (and us) about if they thought she was crazy before, they haven't seen anything yet.
  • Oh my!
  • Tyler and Sam talked. She told him that she gave Haleigh tokens during the HoH comp so she wouldn't go on the block if Haleigh won. Tyler told her that she was never a thought to go on the block this week -- that was all Fessy and Haleigh talking.
  • Will today's veto comp throw an iron in the works?
  • In the long run, no.
  • It seems they would prefer Haleigh out more than Fessy, but they'll take out who they can. 
  • On a reality television note, it was 18 years ago this past week that America watched Richard Hatch win the first season of Survivor. Many fans of both Survivor and BB aren't even that old!

Excitement as Brett tells his real job

Reassuring Sam ... again and again.

It's just a game. No! It's not!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - August 24

What have they done to Tyler?!?!?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of False Foxes:
  • The same three names keep going around in nominations discussions -- Fessy, Haleigh and Sam.
  • The suspense builds.
  • We had a false alarm with the feeds gone reruns earlier.
  • BB ended up giving them a new smaller table. They were on lockdown in the HoH room for that, but we had no clue.
  • JC's new comedy pairing is with Brett.
  • Tyler and Angela thinks that's a good idea because they think Brett feels left out a lot.
  • He is the person they consider the most expendable in the Level 6/4.
  • They might even include Not Really A Member JC more towards the end than Brett.
  • Kaycee would make it because I think both Tyler and Angela think they could win in a final two with her.
  • Oh, wait. Where are Fessy and Haleigh?
  • Oh? Gone by then?
  • They are worried about a jury buy back and a double eviction.
  • Life is rough in the hamster house.
  • The Level 6/4 group is still laughing at how Fessy handled his HoH.
  • Angela told Tyler all Fessy did was hide up in the HoH room and then get his ally Scottie out.
  • She said that as she and Tyler holed up snuggling in the HoH room.
  • When Kaycee came to the door, Angela jumped. But Tyler said he thinks Kaycee knows.
  • Angela and Tyler both think they don't owe anything to either Fessy or Haleigh.
  • JC keeps pushing for both of them to be on the block -- then it's guaranteed that one will go home.
  • He even said he'd vote to evict Fessy if Fessy was the one. Hmm.
  • Yet JC is getting really antsy about Tyler's loyalty to him.
  • Haleigh has been warned she might go up as a pawn with Sam; Sam being the target.
  • If both Fessy and Haleigh go on the block together, Angela figures she has good reasons to say for the nominations.
  • Now I'm just doing one of those waiting games to watch for when the feeds come back -- they're doing nominations as I write this up.
  • Or, maybe BB is giving them a smaller couch.
  • I really don't know.
  • Hopefully soon.
  • I want to get this posted.
  • Oh ... I forgot to mention that Sam told a slew of stories of her life today.
  • That was new and different.
  • Not.
  • While I'm waiting for the feeds to come back, I'm going to grouch a bit. A. I wish they'd go back to food comps to earn foods for the week They used to show them on the live feeds. B. The feeds are too dark this year. I have to edit the screen caps so they don't all look like serial killers hiding in dark places. C. The volume on almost all is way too low -- however JC and Brett (and before this week, Scottie) often come through as shouting. D. This cast sings too much (which shuts down the feeds due to royalties issues) and is annoying. Yeah, JC and Sam -- I'm talking to you!
  • Feeds still down.
  • Maybe there was a brouhaha and we missed it!
  • Finally ... 9:02pm ET and the feeds are back.
  • Just have to figure out who's on the block now ...
  • My gosh, it's Haleigh and Fessy!

They got the smaller table today

Trying to look like the photo

JC's new best buddy for comedy

Stop it. Just stop it.

I'm sure Kaycee knows, Angela

Noms are on the wall - Haleigh and Fessy

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday - August 24

Together again? Not really.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blocked Feeds:
  • No, they're not blocked now. But they were blocked well after the HOH comp ended.
  • It was just a few minutes shy of midnight here on the East Coast when they returned.
  • Two hours for a comp that was timed to end in an hour.
  • Grr.
  • Angela won it.
  • Angela and Tyler had already discussed it before and neither wanted to win this week.
  • When the feeds returned Angela was saying the comp was all luck (a crap shoot kind of thing) while Haleigh was saying it was skill.
  • They got a booze delivery long before the HoH room reveal -- that was very late, almost 1am here.
  • Since the Have Nots can't drink and Fessy really doesn't, the rest got a bit of a buzz on.
  • After Angela read her letter, Sam asked to see it. She loves reading the letters. When Angela said it was closed and sealed, Sam looked like she was personally attacked and ready to cry.
  • But she recovered and, unlike last week, didn't immediately abandon the HoH room as soon as possible.
  • Without Scottie around, Sam has even more cleaning to do. Before the reveal, she busied herself sweeping, mopping and doing the mirrors.
  • So, who will be on the block?
  • Angela already approached Haleigh about being a pawn up against Sam.
  • Angela and Tyler had previously talked about targeting Fessy and Haleigh (before Thursday).
  • Angela told Tyler she's tired of them (her and Tyler) doing all the work and getting blood on their hands -- she just might go the easy route.
  • Hmm ... a Sam eviction?
  • That probably wouldn't be all that easy! But Angela is indeed the one least close to Sam other than Haleigh.
  • She thinks Kaycee and Brett need to step up their games and share the bloody hands.
  • She plans on one-on-ones Friday before the nominations.
  • Fessy is tickled pink his HoH went so smooth.
  • Yep, he got his big bad alliance member out and now only has Haleigh left!
  • I will give him credit over Haleigh right now for being a bit worried about Angela being HoH.
  • Haleigh is trusting their new "alliance" with Tyler and Angela.
  • Fessy is a bit skeptical.
  • They bickered again. And again.
  • Both Fessy and Haleigh think that no one realizes they're a couple.
  • Bwahahaha! Everyone in the house knows!
  • A bunch of the hamsters are sporting neck tattoos now thanks to press on tattoos in Angela's HoH basket.
  • We're going to see what happens.
  • Angela really did NOT want to win this HoH and right now she doesn't have a real clear plan.
  • But it could very well be Sam and Haleigh.
  • However ... don't quote me on that. 

Put tokens in her sports bra

"They" wanted him to win HoH

Shouldn't be a pawn this week

They got booze

His Cloud App will expire unused

Reading her HoH letter

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds HoH Bulletin - August 23


The live feeds were blocked throughout the HoH comp. (Grr.) 

The feeds didn't return until 11:58pm ET, nearly two hours after the show.

ANGELA won and is the new HoH.

Hamster watchers ready?

Before the "previously on" Julie Chen tells us that Level 6 might have the last laugh on the ZingBot. Ah, they will be showing the oven fire that happened yesterday, 

Julie is wearing simple black and white. She tells us that "they" have managed to mismanage the HoH once again.

Fessy is in a quandary. He will not put Haleigh on the block. But he tells her that Scottie threw her under the bus. He tells her the Kaitlyn 2.0 and that Scottie wanted her to be the replacement nominee. Haleigh cries.

Tyler, Kaycee and Angela are discussing about how one of them will go up when Haleigh goes crying to them. Kaycee feels bad for Haleigh, but can't believe the other alliance is throwing each other under that bus. She finally talks to Scottie. Now he feels bad. He's teary while they talk. Now he feels his idea was stupid and regrets it. He goes to Fessy. In his talk with him, Scottie confesses to have a "relationship" or a thing for Haleigh. Fessy doesn't like that. 

Scottie suggests putting Sam on the block. Fessy isn't sure he wants to deal with that craziness, maybe he will figure a pawn. He wants his ally Scottie out anyway.

Veto Meeting -- Brett gives Scottie a speech chance. Scottie -- Sam is playing us all and no one can beat her with the jury. He thinks Sam should be the replacement. Brett saves himself with his veto. Fessy tells all that Scottie wanted him to put up Haleigh, then Sam. He then names Kaycee as the replacement nominee. She's a pawn and not worried at all.

Level 6 thinks it might be the first unanimous. Brett is snickering about the other alliance crumbling. 

Ohhh! The fire! SAM was the only one to think fire extinguisher when there were flames going wild in the oven.

Fessy pitches a deal with Tyler and Fessy -- Fessy, Haleigh, Tyler and Angela get rid of the ones coasting along. Sure, they'll play along. Tyler has a deal going with everyone in the house now. He's worried it might backfire. JC presses Tyler about being loyal to him. He says he will never betray Tyler. Tyler tells us his ideal Final Four is himself, JC, Angela and Kaycee. His ideal Final Two is himself and Kaycee because he thinks he would win. Tyler does NOT want to win HoH this week.

FINALLY to the living room! 
Kaycee -- Shout-outs. Thanks CBS. Beyond thankful. Love Scottie, would love to continue this journey.
Scottie -- Didn't see it coming. Apologies for his immaturity.

The votes to evict are:
Angela - Scottie
JC - Scottie
Tyler - Scottie
Haleigh - Scottie 
Sam - Scottie
Brett - Scottie

It's unanimous. Scottie is evicted. 

He knew it was coming and hugged all. He tells Julie the Haleigh plan was actually a ploy to get Sam on the block because he feels he can beat Sam. Except for Fessy's, the goodbye messages were nice. Fessy repeated his duck line ... for the millionth time. 

HoH time ... at 9:55pm ET. Sweet shot, rolling a ball .. a copy of one from BBOTT. Search for tokens, buy balls from Fessy, can give tokens to others, can lock in best score. At the end of an hour, highest score wins.

I don't think it's playing out on the live feeds. There has been no banner. But I'll watch and get the winner posted if nothing else.

Julie tells us next week's evicted hamster won't go to the jury house -- jury battle back.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - August 22

In better spirits today

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Real Home Cooking:
  • The biggest excitement (maybe only excitement) was they had an oven fire in the house today.
  • I think it was Brett cooking. He and Kaycee were the only two in the kitchen.
  • No cameras were on in the kitchen when it first ignited.
  • From the living room cam watching Scottie and Sam, you could hear two thumps or bangs and see smoke bursting forth in the kitchen.
  • Brett yelled, "We have a fire! We have a fire!"
  • (I added the Defense bit in the photo; he was serious.)
  • Thinking it was Brett, they thought he was joking.
  • But then they knew it was serious.
  • The feeds cut right away and stayed away for quite a while.
  • One thing I noticed is that no smoke alarms went off immediately.
  • Heck, I can cook bacon and set mine off with no real fire!
  • In other news, Haleigh now says she always liked Angela and is glad she's closer to her lately.
  • She said in the past she was just worried Angela would target her.
  • Heh, heh, heh.
  • Tyler let Fessy teach him all about how they should play the game from this point forward.
  • Heh, heh, heh.
  • I think everybody, except maybe Brett, is scared what will happen when/if Sam goes on the block.
  • But Brett has other targets first.
  • Sam didn't kill anyone.
  • But, just the little things ... like a whole group is having fun in the kitchen and she's there, too. She's in her own little world looking at her spider in a jar.
  • As we could all guess, she did spend a lot of time with Scottie.
  • They're still worried it will be a double eviction tomorrow.
  • Let them worry.

We have a fire! Defense! Defense!

(If you click on the above image, you'll see a larger version.)

Using Brett's veto strategy to nap

Went from "I Angry" to Gay today

Yes, Fessy. Thanks for teaching me the game!

Channeling his inner Sam?

Kiss, bicker, kiss, bicker

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 22


As the show airs here, I'll be live-blogging it -- refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the discussion!

Tonight's veto comp should be very entertaining! Grab your adult beverages and settle in a comfy chair ... perhaps you might want to wear a pancho if you're int the front seats. This could get messy.

We'll sit out the previously on. Of course, the narrator did rhyme Fessy with messy. They probably stole that from the Internet!

We pick up at the end of the nominations ceremony. Fessy is still on his "someone's lying" trip. Brett is thrilled that he got Fessy to put his own alliance member on the block. And, JC is just as thrilled that he got Fessy to put Scottie on the block.

Scottie is rightfully shocked.

Level 6 knows they have the numbers to send Scottie packing ... as long as he doesn't win veto. 

Haleigh knows that they have no one else and should keep Scottie. She's sure that Scottie was the one vote to evict Kaycee and isn't lying about it. She tries to tell him that Angela, Kaycee and Tyler are working together and now they'll pick them off. Fessy pooh-poohs the idea and says it's just a game. Haleigh vows to us if she wins veto, she'll take Scottie off the block. 

Veto players pick time --
Fessy draws Angela, Scottie draws HG Choice and picked Haleigh, Brett draws Tyler. 

JC works more on Fessy telling him that Scottie picked Haleigh because he's playing an emotional game. Fessy lectures Tyler on how to play the game -- after all, they're the only ones winning comps. Hey, Fessy ... it's not all about winning comps. Tyler plays along. 

ZingBot arrives. They all go crazy for the nasty robot. 

Calls Angela soulless, heartless and emotionless.
Haleigh, what do you call someone who's blond, blue-eyed and has a crush on Brett? Scottie!
Kaycee -- Has all the viewers shouting let's go .. to another channel.
Brett -- You're always fresh and clean because you're a giant douche.
Tyler -- Orders extra greasy, crispy and zits and it's Tyler.
Fessy -- Part time teacher? Full time moron. Every child left behind.
JC -- Only thing bigger than your accent is your back hair.
Haleigh -- Good reading Hamlet, the real tragedy was your HoH reign.
Sam -- You love to tell everyone how real you are. You are real, real _____ crazy! (They play horror music.) 

It's the Hide and Go Seek at Zing-A-Lago, It has taken a political bend hiding a compromising photo of President ZingBot and each of them. They go in individually to hide their vetos -- all in closed look alike folders. 

Haleigh hides hers in the ottoman. Fessy hides his at the back of the drawer. Brett hides his in a pillow and promises he'll keep it safe. Tyler hides his in a pair of Sam's pants figuring no one has the nerve. Anglea hides hers in the oven covered by coffee grounds. Scottie hides his under the sink in the bathroom.

Haleigh times out. So does Fessy. Brett doesn't even look -- he barricades his own with mattresses. Tyler time out. Scottie uses his time to sabotage the floors with chocolate milk and vegetable oil. Brett slips, slides and hides his veto more. Fessy threw sugar all over.

Tyler was the first one to find a veto -- it was Angela's.
 Scottie found Tyler's. 

Brett runs through yelling "Defense! Defense!" He further buries his folder.

Fessy found the third folder -- Haleigh's.
Scottie has found Fessy's folder.
Haleigh found the fifth one.

Angela out, then Tyler out, Haleigh out, Fessy out, Scottie out.

Now Fessy has to choose another nominee. He was comfortable with Brett and Scottie on the block and Scottie likely to go home. 

BRETT wins the Power of Veto! 

They played Psycho music for Sam's reaction to the mess.

JC works on Fessy to ensure Scottie goes home. 

Sam and Scottie talk. She doesn't think Haleigh was the hacker. Scottie is just confused. The thought to make Fessy put Haleigh on the block against him comes up. Sam is sure she can convince Fessy to put her up. Now she likes playing the game.

Sam pushes the idea on Fessy. He's half-awake and dumbfounded. (Dumber than usual.) She tries to get him to pinky-swear on it. He won't commit. Then Scottie hits him up for the same thing referring to Haleigh as Kaitlyn 2.0.

Now Fessy is more confused than ever -- although putting Haleigh up isn't in his mind.

For the first time ever, they're holding the renom back until tomorrow's show.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - August 22

JC won't talk game with Fessy, but ...!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lonesome Loons:
  • As far as the bottom line for tomorrow's eviction, all remains the same.
  • Scottie will be voted out either unanimously or perhaps with Sam's vote for him to stay.
  • Haleigh, not knowing she'll never be a part of the group, is increasingly spending time with everyone other than Fessy.
  • When she is with Fessy, they bicker more often than not.
  • Fessy is still very proud of his big game move this week -- knocking one of his two remaining allies out of the game.
  • It reminds me of a rather juvenile saying.
  • I'll say it anyway -- smooth move, ExLax.
  • Sam turned in her cigarettes.
  • It's hard to predict her behavior hour by hour, giving them up will add fuel to the fire.
  • Plus, of course, she's on slop this week and fussing about that.
  • Scottie had his talk with Haleigh. After much wasted small talk, he apologized for his actions (wanting Fessy to put her up as the renom) which he said he did in desperation.
  • As she had discussed with Angela earlier, she accepted the apology.
  • After all, he's going to be evicted Thursday.
  • Brett and Tyler had an extended whispered strategy meeting in the bathroom.
  • In addition to other current events and catching up on spy stuff, they talked about Sam.
  • Brett pointed out that she always gets close to the one likely to be evicted and loves them so much. 
  • He thinks it's her plan for jury votes.
  • They both noted that she has final twos with everyone in the house.
  • They both think she might be America's Player.
  • They both think her alternating between begging to go home and then reverting back to how she doesn't need to be there, she's only there to show each one love and compassion ... the whole thing is getting tired.
  • Brett told Tyler that Sam told him she could leave anytime she wants. He told her to go then. But she told himm the house needs her.
  • @@
  • I actually did not see that Brett/Sam discussion, but it sounds like her.
  • In a different whispered conversation, Tyler told JC that they need to keep Brett informed and part of it all, but he (Tyler) must keep Kaycee and Angela closer to him than they are to Brett. 
  • He doesn't want to go head-to-head with Brett.
  • The Level 6/4 Plus JC group seem to be of the opinion (as long as Haleigh doesn't win HoH) that Fessy needs to go before Haleigh.
  • The talk is Sam/Haleigh on the block, tell each one they're a pawn, If one comes down, Fessy up.
  • Just based on that ... oh, and past performance ... I doubt JC will win. No way does he want to be the one to put up Fessy.
  • While I think he's jumped off the Fessy Coattails, I don't think he's ready to break his promise. 

Who is she this hour?

Kaycee needs to step up her game

Scottie finally talked to Haleigh

Whisper game talk

More whispers ... shhh ...
