Big Brother 20: Live Eviction, Battle Back Show Blog Party - August 30

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!

A programming note for those in the NYC viewing area -- Big Brother will air at its regular time on WLNY 10/55 instead of WCBS2 due to football.

Tonight either Fessy or Haleigh will be evicted. And, whichever goes, will join the other jury members in a battle back comp to reenter the house. No, not my decision. It is what it is.

Also, the HoH comp will be on the live feeds after the aired show. I'll be setting up a new post to cover live updates on the comp. It will be linked at the bottom of this entry and should be up by 10pm ET. 

What's a party without a pool? Here's where we stand going into tonight's show:

Sam Bledsoe - Shayne McCaslin, HowSad, tbc, Sharon C
Haleigh Broucher - Brian, Sharon S, Monty924, Buzzmaam
Kaycee Clark - Sharon N, Skyriverblue, Indiana Jane, Jenna G
Tyler Crispen - SueGee, Glenn Allen, Jessica Underwood-James, JennasMom
JC Monduix - Brenda, Delee, T-Town Chick, Willie J
Brett Robinson - Judi Sweeney, Lovelakexo, Ed in Ohio, JonMD1267
Angela Rummans - Janice, Chacha, QuixoticElf, Tilda
Faysal Fessy Shafaat - Caela, Marthalight, Cheryl in NC, Marina Tatum

Jury:
Bayleigh Dayton
Angie Rockstar Lantry
Scottie Salton 

Hamster watchers ready?

Julie reminds us of the battle back and we're into "previously on." 

Julie also now reminds us Level 6 has been watching the other side implode.

But first ... is there such a thing as one Final Two too many? Fessy is still fussy. Haleigh isn't sure what she should do. They talk. She talks about his attitude. He fusses because she's hanging out with "them." He's worried that she'll leave him after they get out of the house. He isn't sure it's real. I think their "real" differs, though. He says he has an eviction speech planned which might keep her safe for three weeks.

Brett talks to Tyler about a final two. We know that Tyler has deals with just about everybody in the house. Now it's Brett's turn. Brett tells him that Kaycee and Angela need to go because they would take each other. Tyler denies a showmance with Angela.

Julie tells us it's time for allies to turn on each other if they want to win. JC tells us Fessy is probably leaving and has no brain, so he goes to Tyler. While he's been working with them, he isn't a part of them. He tells Tyler that Angela or Kaycee need to go. He says one of them before Haleigh. Tyler ain't buying it.

So, he goes to Brett, says he'll be his new BFF. Brett tells him he's on board. Brett is worried about a battle back because he's made enemies with everyone so far on jury.

Into the live vote and eviction (already) --
Fessy -- Shout outs, love and respect for Haleigh, talks trash about Angela and throws her under the bus.
Haleigh -- Compliments Julie, shout outs, grateful to know everyone, great cast, not ready to leave, you all mean so much to me.

Votes to evict:
Tyler - Fessy
Brett - Fessy
Sam - Haleigh
JC - Fessy
Kaycee - Fessy

Rather predictable for us feeds watchers. Fessy is evicted. 

The interview went well. He couldn't answer the question about whether he would have saved Haleigh or himself with the veto. He also admitted he lied in his speech about things Angela said about Tyler. 

She told of the battle back and we're into commercial. 

Julie tells the hamsters about the battle back. They will not be allowed to watch. We get a segment on the jury house. Bayleigh and Rockstar watch the video of Haleigh winning HoH and the Hacker nominating Rockstar then the infamous veto comp. Scottie arrives. They watch those videos.  Scottie says he's dumb. They get a notice to pack their bags and there will be a battle back. Bayleigh wants to target Tyler.

In the yard, Fessy surprises them all. He first apologizes to Scottie.

Comp is called Big Top Drop -- race to retrieve their balls, drop into a tube, then race across the yard. Fessy was leading, but now Scottie. SCOTTIE returns to the house!  

Ooooh! Scottie says to Julie he's going to try to work with Tyler!

BB19: Battle Back Episode Blog Party - July 21

As the show airs here, I'll be live-blogging and constantly updating this entry -- refresh the page to get the latest! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun! 

Who will make it back into the house? Cameron? Jillian? Cody? Or Dominique?

Three battles ahead of us. we're getting a brief recap of each of their exits.

Oh my ... they just said they have to win an "epic showdown" against someone in the house to return. We'll have to see how "epic" we think it is! 

Julie is wearing pants, but not jeans tonight.

No guarantee anyone is returning to the house (according to Julie). 

They are in Evictionville, must win three competitions. Top two advance, two go home. Next round, one goes home. Third comp, challenger from the house. The house will vote to send someone. If house challenger wins, all go home. 

Cameron has been studying the table maze in front of him as Julie talked. The others are looking at Julie. Hmm. 

Maze Race, rope and pulley system to move ball through the maze. 

Cody wins the first spot to move on! Yay! Cameron is going to the next round! He deserves a shot in the game. Dominique and Jillian are going home.

Second Battle - Billboard Bashers - catapult balls at the ten panels of their billboards. First one with all ten bashed wins. Cody wins. Cameron will be going home. Sigh. He really deserved to have more than 12 hours in the house. I didn't care for him, but he got screwed.

Cody gets to pick one of the two challenges they just did, but with changes, to compete against the house challenger. He picks Maze Race (with a different maze). Had he taken the tougher Basher challenge, the billboard would have been rotating. 

Julie gathers all the hamsters in the living room. She tells them it's the Battle Back Showdown and that the four haven't gone home. One has earned the opportunity. She tells them they'll find out in due time who it is. 

Jessica tries to tell an upset Mark that he's fine if Cody comes back. Paul isn't happy. Alex isn't happy, either. 

Julie calls them all together again. She tells them the twist -- they can stop the evicted houseguest from returning. Diary Room vote to elect House Challenger. She isn't telling them it will be up against Cody. After the vote, she'll tell them. They cannot vote for themselves.

Alex -- Paul
Elena - Paul
They're all voting Paul. 

Veteran against veteran, they say.

Heading to the backyard. Cody appears in a huge puff of smoke. 

Cody wins the Battle Back Showdown and he's back in the game.

Cody tells us he wants to take Paul out. 

Julie tells them the HoH comp will start soon.

BB18: Battle Back to BB Special Blog Party - July 22

The Live Feeds will be down until after tonight's Battle Back episode. They should return late tonight at 9pm PT/ 12am ET

Will it be Glenn, Jozea, Victor, Bronte or Tiffany returning?

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be constantly updating this entry. Refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun!

We first get to see all five get evicted once again. Win or go home in four head to head competitions. 

Glenn takes on Jozea. The comp has them doing an identical one we saw earlier in the season. Balance beam logs, one short tough path, one longer easier, retrieve berries one at a time. They each have a poison berry that they can use to destroy a column of berries of the opponent. 

Heh. Jozea is rushing to prove how great he is and fell, twice. Glenn is going really slow. Now it's raining. Jozea is in the lead. Glenn failed to get Jozea with the poison berry. Jozea successfully got his poison berry in. Jozea wins over Glenn. Glenn has to go home.

Jozea will battle Victor next. Must knock down five face of their opponent targets with tennis balls and huge rackets that work like a trampoline. Victor wins! Jozea is going home. (Yay!)

Victor will battle Bronte next. That should be interesting. Bronte is already annoying on intro to the yard. Ohh ... she tells Victor not a single person in the house likes him (but her). They have monitors with photos of hamsters still in the game and answer six questions. Victor wins!

Victor will battle Tiffany next. The winner of that battle will return to the house. They have glowing wrist and ankle bands. Search through bins for puzzle pieces, listen for clues to complete band's schedule. (Puzzle is a band.) Climbing and suspended kind of thing. Victor wins and makes all kinds of ape noises.

Victor will be returning to the house, Tiffany goes home. She tells him to trust Frank, don't trust Da'Vonne.

Julie tells the hamsters about Battle Back. The doorbell rings. Victor enters, testosterone raging.  

Another twist has clues to a secret room only in play for the next four weeks. Finding the room can change the game of the winner.
