Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 25

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!

Is the show starting at 8pm? Yep, again! Why did they ever make a big deal of the schedule change to 9pm on Wednesday, then air it starting at 8pm every week? What's up with that?

Previously on starts with Sam's power app and gives us the recap of the shows so far. At least they leave off Swaggy these days. We're told that Rachel is coming into the house (for the veto hosting). Yes, that Rachel, not this season's Rachel.

Sam defended her choice to us. And Kaitlyn cried. Haleigh got defensive to us and vowed to play the game. Fessy is not a happy dude -- his two best gal friends in the house are on the block. What if he gets chosen to play and wins the veto? Oh, no! 

Heh. Sam shut Kaitlyn down telling her actions speak louder than words. 

Haleigh is crying, but in private and in the Diary Room. She's worried what her family will think.

Sam tells Tyler she will put up Rockstar if she has to do a renom. She also says she will let the nominees (after veto) know that the evicted will have a chance to come back (thanks to Sam).

And Kaitlyn cried. Now she's crying to Tyler.

Kaitlyn talks to Sam in the HoH room. She's upset about what Sam said about her. Her defense is she is an affectionate girl. @@ Sam tells us that she herself commands and demands respect as a woman and also gives respect. That is female empowerment, not batting eyelashes. I do like her values! 

Fessy goes to talk to Sam. He's stressing. She tells him to follow his heart and do what he wants. She tells him he's a beautiful person. They hug. He doesn't want her to put him on the block as a renom, so he wants her to keep thinking he's such a nice guy.

And Kaitlyn cried ... this time when Fessy tried to talk to her. She tells him if she can, she'll pick him for veto and he can save her. Then he talks to Haleigh and now he wants to save Haleigh more.

Veto players pick time! Sam randomly pulls HG Choice and chooses JC. Kaitlyn picks the Rockstar chip. Haleigh gets a second HG Choice and goes for Fessy.

The doorbell rings and it's Rachel being Rachel all over the place. 

Kaitlyn cornered Fessy and told him she would throw the comp to him and he can save her. That way both would be safe. He did shake hands on it. But you could tell he was flustered.  

Veto comp they have short outfits on, each member will get spanked, bonked and and chopped, then have to answer questions about the order of the punishments.  

Sam and Fessy are ahead in the second round. Whoops, now Fessy is in the lead on the next round. Fessy still in the lead after five rounds. Next round, Fessy in the lead and Kaitlyn in second. Fessy wins! 

No Fessy is in a dilemma. Kaitlyn is sure Fessy will save her. However, no way did she throw that comp to him. And, that's part of the deal she made!

Fessy talks to Haleigh and tells her to trust him. He confirms he will save her. 

Oops, then he talks to Kaitlyn. He mentions what she did to Swaggy. He gets abrupt with her and her Spidey-sense goes off. She goes on about the handshake and he says she didn't throw the comp to him. He tells her he needs to have time to think. Then, as they argue, he accidentally calls her Haleigh. Heehee. And then Kaitlyn cried. 

Time for the veto meeting. Fessy saves Haleigh. No speeches. Sam puts Rockstar up in her place. She hinted she would put up her best friend (JC). He said he would never do that to her. Sam, "Okay, so then I'll put up Rockstar." Sam then tells them about the power. 

Kaitlyn promises revenge against Fessy if she is evicted and comes back.

And Kaitlyn cried.
