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.
