Big Brother 20: Hacker Comp, Nominations Blog Party - August 12

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 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.  

Uh-oh. I did indeed jinx it last week when I said I was shocked there have been no East Coast delays. Golf. Gah. It will start about 8:20pm here. I can't talk about it until it starts!

Finally, we're to the "previously on" segment (which I refuse to write up).

We pick up where they said goodnight to Julie. Haleigh is pumped, she expected to be the target this week. Tyler isn't a happy camper that she won, but knows he has his Cloud power. Fessy was tired of being "on the wrong side of the vote" and felt he had to vote with the house last week. He's all over Haleigh, of course.

Haleigh thinks either she, Rockstar or Fessy must win the Hacker comp. Sam is all sad, telling Rockstar she didn't vote against her but for Bayleigh. Tears and more tears. After all, she and Bayleigh were some sort of soulmates after one week of friendship. 

Tyler and Kaycee are over Sam. Tyler tried to get her to vote Bayleigh out all week and even told her of his power. In a DR bit, she tells us that she thinks it's a lie and, if it isn't, he should have told her sooner. (She is the ONLY one he told!) Tyler is thinking Sam is dangerous for his game.

Sam is crying more. Kaycee and Angela think that she needs to be a nominee. They also want to not have two Level 6 members on the block.

Brett is planning to infiltrate the other side, gather info and flirt with Haleigh.

Haleigh and Rockstar talk -- Tyler is Haleigh's target but she feels he would need to be backdoored. Thinking of Sam, he tries to tell Haleigh she needs to think of the jury and make the least amount of "splash." Angela also pushes for a Sam nomination. Haleigh, in the DR, tells us she will consider putting Sam on the block next to her (Angela).

Then a teary Sam talks to Haleigh, crying that others are making fun of her. Sam cries to us in the DR about how mean everyone is (for playing the game of BB) -- she wants to make friends. @@

A segment on Fessy and Haleigh. He's definitely more into her than she is him. She's trying to play the game. He's clueless about so much BB. 

Oh my gosh, Sam is talking crazy stuff about maiming and killing people to JC. Tyler is eavesdropping. Eek!

Tyler and Haleigh talk. Tyler tells us that, if he uses the power at nom, he could still be backdoored. He wants Haleigh to not put him up in the noms, but if she backdoors him, that's okay. She is confused by him, but would love to backdoor him. Tyler told her if he wins veto, he'll do what she wants with it. 

Time for the nominations ceremony. Tyler tells us he's taking the chance of not using his Cloud app. Haleigh nominates Angela, then Kaycee. She says Angela because of the Bayleigh thing and Kaycee because she doesn't speak. From the DR, Haleigh tells us her target is Tyler.

Tyler tells Kaycee and Angela the plan is to backdoor him. They need to win the Hacker comp and veto to get both off the block.

Haleigh trusts Brett. She wants him to keep the noms the same if he wins the Hacker comp. Heh. Brett lets us know he won't abide by any wishes of hers.

Hacker comp time! Same hotel hallway scene. Same desks and computers. Hack the cameras in the BB house. Identify the room the camera shown is in each round.

Tyler is as bad as JC at it! Thankfully for Tyler, Kaycee is good at it. Kaycee wins the Hacker comp! Scottie was one point behind her. 

Unlike Bayleigh, Kaycee tells her alliance. They decide only the four -- Brett, Tyler, Angela and Kaycee -- will know, no peripherals like JC or Sam. 

The Hacker screen calls all to the living room. Kaycee is removed from the block. Rockstar is placed on the block in her place.
