Big Brother 20: HoH Winner, Nominations and Slur Show Blog Party - July 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!

Please remember that the show blog posts are spoiler-free! While the PoV has already happened in the house, that won't air until Wednesday. Also, while I watched the "slur" conversation unfold between JC and Bayleigh, I didn't post on it mainly because I wish to keep this blog slur-free. I don't even like "masked" slurs. Please keep that in mind while commenting.

Oh my. We got the warning that the hamsters don't reflect the views of CBS and on and on. Have I just missed that before or is it for tonight?

We start off with the recap.

Okay, we're to the HoH endurance comp left off on Thursday night. We keep reliving the Rockstar rant over Brett. Instead of the comp, we see more of the chaos from the Brett/Rockstar feud. Back to the comp.

Goop is falling on them, as well as rain. Tyler is still hiding that his vote was for Winston to go. Sam tells us she wants to win to have some kind of control over her power app. 

Rockstar is out of the comp first. She cries on Scottie. Fessy is out next. He doesn't cry on Scottie. Then Brett is out to Rockstar's delight. Byaleigh, Rachel, Angela and Haleigh all gone. JC gone. 

Sam, Tyler, Kaitlyn and Kaycee still in the comp. Kaycee wants Kaitlyn to fall before she will. Kaitlyn down, then Kaycee jumps. Sam is urging Tyler to jump and promises she won't put him up. Tyler jumps down.

SAM is the new HoH!

Rockstar is still upset. Sam tells us that she's already made her mind up what she will do. Rockstar cries some more and insists to Bayleigh that Brett lied. Now she just wants to go home. Wah. Wah. Bayleigh is good with her, but tells us Rockstar needs to pull herself together.

Oh, we get a segment with JC and Tyler planning on setting up Kaitlyn as the Winston vote. He convinces Fessy of Brett's lie. Fessy is SO gullible!

Then Kaitlyn kidnaps Fessie. She tells him that she only trusts him and Tyler. She cries. She cries some more when he tells her the numbers don't add up. 

And we're into the HoH room reveal. Her dog Hogan is amazing-looking. Sam tells them they don't need to freak out, no one-on-ones, she knows what she wants to do, rules say she doesn't tell anyone, no one allowed in her room this week unless she lets them in.

Now Kaitlyn is thinking Sam's power changed the votes. Tyler just acts confused and like she might be right when she told him! 

Into Rockstar harassing Brett again. She wants to show the house how ridiculous it is by herself being ridiculous. Girl needs mental help. She bangs on pots and pans and makes a fool of herself. Meanwhile Brett (whom I really don't like all that much) takes it all in stride. In a DR bit, he tells us she wasn't just bothering him ... she was annoying the whole house and the person who does that is more likely to go home.  

Onto the slur talk. Bayleigh asks if JC is a dwarf. He says that's a genetic condition. She asks him about "midget" after he says he's just short. He says that term is as bad as the racial slur for black folks. She gets upset that he said the full word. They smooth it out after much circular talk on both sides. 

Nominations time -- Sam nominates Haleigh, then Kaitlyn. Because they take the most from the house and contribute the least, don't care how they treat the men in the house -- opposite of female empowerment -- and they don't respect themselves. In the DR she tells us she doesn't like them hanging all over the guys to use them.
