Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday - August 24

Together again? Not really.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blocked Feeds:

• No, they're not blocked now. But they were blocked well after the HOH comp ended.
• It was just a few minutes shy of midnight here on the East Coast when they returned.
• Two hours for a comp that was timed to end in an hour.
• Grr.
• Angela won it.
• Angela and Tyler had already discussed it before and neither wanted to win this week.
• When the feeds returned Angela was saying the comp was all luck (a crap shoot kind of thing) while Haleigh was saying it was skill.
• They got a booze delivery long before the HoH room reveal -- that was very late, almost 1am here.
• Since the Have Nots can't drink and Fessy really doesn't, the rest got a bit of a buzz on.
• After Angela read her letter, Sam asked to see it. She loves reading the letters. When Angela said it was closed and sealed, Sam looked like she was personally attacked and ready to cry.
• But she recovered and, unlike last week, didn't immediately abandon the HoH room as soon as possible.
• Without Scottie around, Sam has even more cleaning to do. Before the reveal, she busied herself sweeping, mopping and doing the mirrors.
• So, who will be on the block?
• Angela already approached Haleigh about being a pawn up against Sam.
• Angela and Tyler had previously talked about targeting Fessy and Haleigh (before Thursday).
• Angela told Tyler she's tired of them (her and Tyler) doing all the work and getting blood on their hands -- she just might go the easy route.
• Hmm ... a Sam eviction?
• That probably wouldn't be all that easy! But Angela is indeed the one least close to Sam other than Haleigh.
• She thinks Kaycee and Brett need to step up their games and share the bloody hands.
• She plans on one-on-ones Friday before the nominations.
• Fessy is tickled pink his HoH went so smooth.
• Yep, he got his big bad alliance member out and now only has Haleigh left!
• I will give him credit over Haleigh right now for being a bit worried about Angela being HoH.
• Haleigh is trusting their new "alliance" with Tyler and Angela.
• Fessy is a bit skeptical.
• They bickered again. And again.
• Both Fessy and Haleigh think that no one realizes they're a couple.
• Bwahahaha! Everyone in the house knows!
• A bunch of the hamsters are sporting neck tattoos now thanks to press on tattoos in Angela's HoH basket.
• We're going to see what happens.
• Angela really did NOT want to win this HoH and right now she doesn't have a real clear plan.
• But it could very well be Sam and Haleigh.
• However ... don't quote me on that.

ANGELA won and is the new HoH.

Hamster watchers ready?

Before the "previously on" Julie Chen tells us that Level 6 might have the last laugh on the ZingBot. Ah, they will be showing the oven fire that happened yesterday, 

Julie is wearing simple black and white. She tells us that "they" have managed to mismanage the HoH once again.

Fessy is in a quandary. He will not put Haleigh on the block. But he tells her that Scottie threw her under the bus. He tells her the Kaitlyn 2.0 and that Scottie wanted her to be the replacement nominee. Haleigh cries.

Tyler, Kaycee and Angela are discussing about how one of them will go up when Haleigh goes crying to them. Kaycee feels bad for Haleigh, but can't believe the other alliance is throwing each other under that bus. She finally talks to Scottie. Now he feels bad. He's teary while they talk. Now he feels his idea was stupid and regrets it. He goes to Fessy. In his talk with him, Scottie confesses to have a "relationship" or a thing for Haleigh. Fessy doesn't like that. 

Scottie suggests putting Sam on the block. Fessy isn't sure he wants to deal with that craziness, maybe he will figure a pawn. He wants his ally Scottie out anyway.

Veto Meeting -- Brett gives Scottie a speech chance. Scottie -- Sam is playing us all and no one can beat her with the jury. He thinks Sam should be the replacement. Brett saves himself with his veto. Fessy tells all that Scottie wanted him to put up Haleigh, then Sam. He then names Kaycee as the replacement nominee. She's a pawn and not worried at all.

Level 6 thinks it might be the first unanimous. Brett is snickering about the other alliance crumbling. 

Ohhh! The fire! SAM was the only one to think fire extinguisher when there were flames going wild in the oven.

Fessy pitches a deal with Tyler and Fessy -- Fessy, Haleigh, Tyler and Angela get rid of the ones coasting along. Sure, they'll play along. Tyler has a deal going with everyone in the house now. He's worried it might backfire. JC presses Tyler about being loyal to him. He says he will never betray Tyler. Tyler tells us his ideal Final Four is himself, JC, Angela and Kaycee. His ideal Final Two is himself and Kaycee because he thinks he would win. Tyler does NOT want to win HoH this week.

FINALLY to the living room! 
Kaycee -- Shout-outs. Thanks CBS. Beyond thankful. Love Scottie, would love to continue this journey.
Scottie -- Didn't see it coming. Apologies for his immaturity.

The votes to evict are:
Angela - Scottie
JC - Scottie
Tyler - Scottie
Haleigh - Scottie 
Sam - Scottie
Brett - Scottie

It's unanimous. Scottie is evicted. 

He knew it was coming and hugged all. He tells Julie the Haleigh plan was actually a ploy to get Sam on the block because he feels he can beat Sam. Except for Fessy's, the goodbye messages were nice. Fessy repeated his duck line ... for the millionth time. 

HoH time ... at 9:55pm ET. Sweet shot, rolling a ball .. a copy of one from BBOTT. Search for tokens, buy balls from Fessy, can give tokens to others, can lock in best score. At the end of an hour, highest score wins.

I don't think it's playing out on the live feeds. There has been no banner. But I'll watch and get the winner posted if nothing else.

Julie tells us next week's evicted hamster won't go to the jury house -- jury battle back.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - August 22

In better spirits today

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Real Home Cooking:

• The biggest excitement (maybe only excitement) was they had an oven fire in the house today.
• I think it was Brett cooking. He and Kaycee were the only two in the kitchen.
• No cameras were on in the kitchen when it first ignited.
• From the living room cam watching Scottie and Sam, you could hear two thumps or bangs and see smoke bursting forth in the kitchen.
• Brett yelled, "We have a fire! We have a fire!"
• (I added the Defense bit in the photo; he was serious.)
• Thinking it was Brett, they thought he was joking.
• But then they knew it was serious.
• The feeds cut right away and stayed away for quite a while.
• One thing I noticed is that no smoke alarms went off immediately.
• Heck, I can cook bacon and set mine off with no real fire!
• In other news, Haleigh now says she always liked Angela and is glad she's closer to her lately.
• She said in the past she was just worried Angela would target her.
• Heh, heh, heh.
• Tyler let Fessy teach him all about how they should play the game from this point forward.
• Heh, heh, heh.
• I think everybody, except maybe Brett, is scared what will happen when/if Sam goes on the block.
• But Brett has other targets first.
• Sam didn't kill anyone.
• But, just the little things ... like a whole group is having fun in the kitchen and she's there, too. She's in her own little world looking at her spider in a jar.
• As we could all guess, she did spend a lot of time with Scottie.
• They're still worried it will be a double eviction tomorrow.
• Let them worry.

We have a fire! Defense! Defense!

Yes, Fessy. Thanks for teaching me the game!

Channeling his inner Sam?

Kiss, bicker, kiss, bicker

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 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!

Tonight's veto comp should be very entertaining! Grab your adult beverages and settle in a comfy chair ... perhaps you might want to wear a pancho if you're int the front seats. This could get messy.

We'll sit out the previously on. Of course, the narrator did rhyme Fessy with messy. They probably stole that from the Internet!

We pick up at the end of the nominations ceremony. Fessy is still on his "someone's lying" trip. Brett is thrilled that he got Fessy to put his own alliance member on the block. And, JC is just as thrilled that he got Fessy to put Scottie on the block.

Scottie is rightfully shocked.

Level 6 knows they have the numbers to send Scottie packing ... as long as he doesn't win veto. 

Haleigh knows that they have no one else and should keep Scottie. She's sure that Scottie was the one vote to evict Kaycee and isn't lying about it. She tries to tell him that Angela, Kaycee and Tyler are working together and now they'll pick them off. Fessy pooh-poohs the idea and says it's just a game. Haleigh vows to us if she wins veto, she'll take Scottie off the block. 

Veto players pick time --
Fessy draws Angela, Scottie draws HG Choice and picked Haleigh, Brett draws Tyler. 

JC works more on Fessy telling him that Scottie picked Haleigh because he's playing an emotional game. Fessy lectures Tyler on how to play the game -- after all, they're the only ones winning comps. Hey, Fessy ... it's not all about winning comps. Tyler plays along. 

ZingBot arrives. They all go crazy for the nasty robot. 

Calls Angela soulless, heartless and emotionless.
Haleigh, what do you call someone who's blond, blue-eyed and has a crush on Brett? Scottie!
Kaycee -- Has all the viewers shouting let's go .. to another channel.
Brett -- You're always fresh and clean because you're a giant douche.
Tyler -- Orders extra greasy, crispy and zits and it's Tyler.
Fessy -- Part time teacher? Full time moron. Every child left behind.
JC -- Only thing bigger than your accent is your back hair.
Haleigh -- Good reading Hamlet, the real tragedy was your HoH reign.
Sam -- You love to tell everyone how real you are. You are real, real _____ crazy! (They play horror music.) 

It's the Hide and Go Seek at Zing-A-Lago, It has taken a political bend hiding a compromising photo of President ZingBot and each of them. They go in individually to hide their vetos -- all in closed look alike folders. 

Haleigh hides hers in the ottoman. Fessy hides his at the back of the drawer. Brett hides his in a pillow and promises he'll keep it safe. Tyler hides his in a pair of Sam's pants figuring no one has the nerve. Anglea hides hers in the oven covered by coffee grounds. Scottie hides his under the sink in the bathroom.

Haleigh times out. So does Fessy. Brett doesn't even look -- he barricades his own with mattresses. Tyler time out. Scottie uses his time to sabotage the floors with chocolate milk and vegetable oil. Brett slips, slides and hides his veto more. Fessy threw sugar all over.

Tyler was the first one to find a veto -- it was Angela's.
 Scottie found Tyler's. 

Brett runs through yelling "Defense! Defense!" He further buries his folder.

Fessy found the third folder -- Haleigh's.
Scottie has found Fessy's folder.
Haleigh found the fifth one.

Angela out, then Tyler out, Haleigh out, Fessy out, Scottie out.

Now Fessy has to choose another nominee. He was comfortable with Brett and Scottie on the block and Scottie likely to go home. 

BRETT wins the Power of Veto! 

They played Psycho music for Sam's reaction to the mess.

JC works on Fessy to ensure Scottie goes home. 

Sam and Scottie talk. She doesn't think Haleigh was the hacker. Scottie is just confused. The thought to make Fessy put Haleigh on the block against him comes up. Sam is sure she can convince Fessy to put her up. Now she likes playing the game.

Sam pushes the idea on Fessy. He's half-awake and dumbfounded. (Dumber than usual.) She tries to get him to pinky-swear on it. He won't commit. Then Scottie hits him up for the same thing referring to Haleigh as Kaitlyn 2.0.

Now Fessy is more confused than ever -- although putting Haleigh up isn't in his mind.

For the first time ever, they're holding the renom back until tomorrow's show.
