Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday - July 27

This is for Swaggy!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Weight Off Their Shoulders:

• Yep, with Kaitlyn gone everyone seems to be breathing a sigh of relief.
• Even Rockstar is more mellow.
• After all, she got nine votes to stay. What could be better?
• During a long live feeds block, they played out the HoH comp.
• Bayleigh is the new HoH.
• From what they said, it was a comp with more luck than skill.
• Now, before we get into the actual doings, let's review Bayleigh.
• She has a tie with Fessy due to Swaggy. She's in a secret alliance with Kaycee. She adores Sam. She is an advocate of an All Girls Alliance. She's had cross words with JC albeit resolved with apologies. She's not thrilled with Rockstar but Rockstar is female and one of her original allies. 
• Hmm.
• What will she do? 
• Unlike Sam, she is having one-on-one talks with her fellow hamsters.
• Unlike Sam, she is indicating who will be on the block.
• Like Sam, she's being fiercely loyal to those hamsters she likes.
• No way will she put Fessy, Sam or Kaycee in peril. Not as a pawn, nuthin'!
• She knows that many of the problems in the house were due to Kaitlyn.
• They all realize that now.
• They also noticed that Kaitlyn didn't get the huge round of applause when she went before the live crowd.
• Of course, JC's hinky vote has the rumor mill going. But it's not like it was a close vote or anything.
• JC and Rachel both think someone must be trying to frame Tyler. (Yeah, JC, for reals.) Fessy thinks it was a sympathy vote.
• Y'see ... before the live show, it was agreed by everyone that Kaitlyn would go.
• In her talk with Tyler, Bayleigh told him that she didn't want to put him on the block as he's a very loyal player. The problem is that his loyalty isn't to her.
• Oh my!
• Tyler did his Tyler self -- convinced her that Kaitlyn was solely behind the Swaggy eviction and he would be loyal to her.
• He's safe!
• Rachel also said the Swaggy eviction was all Kaitlyn's doing.
• Bayleigh thinks Scottie might be a problem and warned Tyler to be careful around him.
• Now, Scottie is someone Bayleigh can't predict. He's flipped and flopped and isn't loyal to anyone.
• Sam is super-relieved it all went down the way it did. She didn't have to break a tie; everyone seems happy with the results. Her HoH was a success with as little pain as it could have. Plus, she knows she has built a bond with Bayleigh.
• Both Haleigh and Rockstar are worried that if Sam gets HoH again, she'll put them up. 
• But no way will Bayleigh even entertain the thought of putting Sam up!
• So there.
• However ... Bayleigh did tell Haleigh that she needn't stop her flirting. Hey, even try to get close to Tyler to see what's in his head.
• Bayleigh and Angela formed a new alliance -- The Amazon Alliance. They want to expand and be the all girl alliance eliminating the guys one by one.
• In her talk with Fessy, she told him she thinks Scottie is evil, but "evil on our side." Hmm. She also told him she wants to give Tyler this week to recover. Um. Okay.
• She told him that she's thinking of putting JC and Brett on the block with Rachel as a back-up in case of a veto save.
• Fessy wasn't too keen about JC being on the block.
• Bayleigh pointed out that he doesn't vote with them.
• Yet they all are claiming the sides in the house are over.
• She told him that for sure Brett will be a nominee. If JC wants to stay off the block, he needs to stop running around all over the place and be loyal.
• She knows that it's more likely Rachel would be loyal than JC.
• She seems to be wavering on the "pawn" but Brett is definitely her target.
• When Bayleigh talked to JC, she asked who he is working with.
• He told her Sam. Good answer.
• He told her he'd like to work with her, Fessy, Tyler, Haleigh and Sam.
• Hmm.
• She pressed for a promise of loyalty.
• She also told him he's not her target this week, but did not promise not to put him on the block.
• Both Bayleigh and JC said that Fessy is dumb (definitely dumb about the game), but can win comps on their side and be controlled now without Kaitlyn around.
• In her talk with Rachel, Bayleigh told her that Brett is the target but she has a "pawn problem."
• In her talk with Scottie she made him swear loyalty and that he wasn't the vote for Kaitlyn to stay.
• So, the target will be Brett. The pawn is in doubt right now.
• OH WAIT!
• Then Kaycee and Bayleigh talked about getting JC out of the house!
• They think he needs to go before jury.
• The drama continues ... without the Kaitlyn-induced drama. 

Sam will be safe this week

Come see my HoH room!

One will be nominated for eviction?

Back up against a wall? Nah.

The Amazon Alliance forms

This is perfect!

For those who wish to see it, here's the Kaitlyn exit interview with Julie Chen --

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds HoH Winner Bulletin - July 27

I was right -- they played the HoH comp after the live show aired here on the East Coast. And, they kept the live feeds blocked throughout the comp.

But it's over now. The feeds came back on shortly before 1am here.

Bayleigh is the new HoH.

Big Brother 20: Live Eviction and HoH Comp Show Blog Party - July 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!

Either Kaitlyn or Rockstar will be evicted tonight. But this is the week that Sam's power kicks in. Whichever one is evicted will have the opportunity to do some sort of short comp and win her way back in. Sigh. For me, that takes a lot of the fun of Rockstar and Kaitlyn on the block away.

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
Bayleigh Dayton - Ayana, Margo, Krysta Gibson, KelseyNY
Kaitlyn Herman - Chantel, Michelle Carpintero, Donna in Alabama, Auntie Leigh
Angie Rockstar Lantry - Merilee, Babs, Jean in Tampa, Chauncey
JC Monduix - Brenda, Delee, T-Town Chick, Willie J
Brett Robinson - Judi Sweeney, Lovelakexo, Ed in Ohio, JonMD1267
Angela Rummans - Janice, Chacha, QuixoticElf, Tilda
Scottie Salton - Lili, Chrob61, JO C, DonnaNY
Faysal Fessy Shafaat - Caela, Marthalight, Cheryl in NC, Marina Tatum
Rachel Swindler - PDX Granny, Jackie, CherryPie, Dr_Celine

Evicted:
Steve Arienta
Chris Swaggy C Williams
Winston Hines

Hamster watchers ready?

Recap, recap ... who needs a recap?

Julie is dressed in black. She talks of the blindsides and how tumultuous the house has been this season.

So, we get Kaitlyn and Rockstar crying. And more crying. Crying to anyone who will listen. Fessy got Kaitlyn's wrath while Tyler is thinking he'd prefer her to stay because he can use her.

Finally to the living room? Nope. We get a segment going on about the eviction choice. Now we have Kaitlyn crying at Fessy ... again. Meanwhile, Haleigh and company are talking about working to get more votes to save Rockstar ... including Fessy. After all, he promised Haleigh he would vote the way she asks. JC is avidly against Kaitlyn. So is Sam. They seem to be the only two who have totally made up their minds.

The waffling back and forth is just a bit of what I saw on the live feeds. They need to get to the live show stuff! Sheesh.

FINALLY ... to the living room!
Rockstar -- Shout outs, HG all awesome, honored to be with you, love to stay. accomplish the mission I've charged many of you with. Even love Brett, Kaitlyn is amazing. On and On.
Kaitlyn -- Thanks people, HG -- follow intuition, whatever you decide is for the highest good, etc.

The votes to evict:
JC -- Rockstar !!!
Bayleigh -- Kaitlyn
Haleigh -- Kaitlyn
Fessy -- Kaitlyn
To commercial ... several of them.
Brett -- Kaitlyn
Tyler -- Kaitlyn
Angela -- Kaitlyn
Kaycee -- Kaitlyn
Rachel -- Kaitlyn
Scottie -- Kaitlyn

Heh. Rejection! She is evicted, but before she can leave the Bonus Life app comes up on the living room screen. Julie explains the power and tells Kaitlyn to go to the BB App Store room to do her challenge. And then ... more commercials!

She has to take a puzzle of herself apart, push it through an opening, reassemble. She has two and a half minutes to do it to rejoin the house.

She does NOT finish in time. ACCESS DENIED. She goes back in the house to say her goodbyes.

Obviously, they won't have time for the HoH comp on the show. Julie is going to have a talk with Kaitlyn. They won't even have time to start the HoH. I'll watch to see if it's shown on the feeds, but I bet it will be blocked.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 26

A simple dress? Is Rockstar ill?

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

• Despite the waffling between which one will be evicted, we're still in the doldrums.
• I still have little to report.
• There were no brouhahas, not even a real kerfuffle.
• Kaitlyn didn't even cry much.
• Yes, she gurgle-talked a lot, though.
• In the waffling department: Kaycee and Angela think they could keep Rockstar and do that All Girls thing. They think Rockstar would target Tyler and Brett, then use JC as a backdoor if needed.
• Now, there's one flaw with that -- how is Rockstar ever going to win a comp?
• Even Sam is waffling now. She was adamant that she wanted Kaitlyn out and would vote a tiebreaker evicting her if need be. Now she's saying she'll put two "dots" in a cup and make a random draw.
• @@
• JC has NOT waffled. He still wants Kaitlyn gone ... gone like three weeks ago!
• Then Angela realized that there's no way that she could deal with Kaitlyn if they were both in the jury house together.
• Oh no!
• Back to waffling!
• Bayleigh is also on the Kaitlyn Go Away Train. She says Kaitlyn can't be trusted because she's lied so much and gone back and forth between sparring alliances.
• Well, yeah.
• Tyler would rather Kaitlyn stay because he knows Rockstar would target him and he can work Kaitlyn for cover and advantage.
• And on it goes ...
• Of course, it's very likely whichever goes tonight will come back. The comp to return must be short because the time they've saved in previous weeks is just about maybe five minutes.
• We'll see which waffle wins! 

"Gurgle, gurgle ..."

Brett and Haleigh

Volleypillow ... or something like that

I can't contain my excitement

Won't be like this for the live show

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.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morn - July 25

"Gurgly, gurgly ..."

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Gurgly Gerbil:

• I thought other BB hamster voices were annoying over the years.
• I did not know the meaning of annoying.
• We're still in a bit of doldrums with the only excitement being the waffling between who should be evicted.
• Toss in the fact that the evicted will have a chance to come back (and everybody in the house knows it) and the waffling increases.
• JC is on a mission to get Kaitlyn evicted ... still.
• Not only is he personally irked by her, he has a Sam thing going on -- both Fessy and Tyler told him that Kaitlyn told them (individually) that she's never felt that way about a man, special to her and blah-blah-blah. It bothers JC that she's messing with their minds and hearts.
• Oh, and I must add in that Kaitlyn and Brett played sex games yesterday morning.
• Meanwhile, Bayleigh has increased her own standing in the house. Good for her!
• Bayleigh told Sam to just give her an indication before the eviction if she needs her to vote to her liking.
• Bayleigh also bonded more with Tyler, not letting on that she and Kaycee have an alliance.
• Neither Bayleigh nor JC want for Sam to have to break a tie -- whichever way the votes go.
• Sam told Fessy she doesn't want to be HoH again and have to make nominations for eviction. She wanted it this week only because of feeling she wanted some kind of control over her power.
• Kaitlyn is very confident that just about everybody will vote for her to stay.
• @@
• So confident that she claims (often) that she won't be talking game on Wednesday, not at all.
• I'd like her not to talk at all about anything today. My ears hurt from her voice. They might start bleeding.
• In addition to individually telling Fessy and Tyler how special they are to her, Kaitlyn told Haleigh she's her best friend in the house.
• Gah! Now she's trying the same mind games with the girls!
• And on it goes ... 

Bayleigh has definitely redeemed herself

"But Kaitlyn told me she has feelings ..."

But sometimes the evicted come back!

JC: She told both Tyler and Fessy the same thing!

Yep, Angela is around!

And, so is Rachel.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 24

In some kind of zone

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dipsy Doodles:

• Ew. In the early morning hours, we had undercover porn starring Kaitlyn and Brett.
• Wait. She's a life coach. Perhaps she was just coaching him?
• Ew.
• I find it interesting that Rockstar, the only mother on the show, does hardly anything in the kitchen. She is either thinking it's a vacation from her daily tasks or her children are starving.
• Tyler told Kaitlyn he didn't think she has Fessy's vote to stay.
• WHAT?!?! She's shocked! Where did he hear that?
• Tyler didn't say.
• It couldn't be those bridges she burnt, could it?
• Heh.
• Now Kaitlyn is telling Fessy she would have voted for Swaggy to stay had there been a tie.
• Um. Well. Had she not put him on the block, he would have stayed, too.
• Fessy might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but he knows that much.
• While there's much waffling now, Kaycee is still pushing Kaitlyn out and bring Bayleigh into Level 6.
• Of course, Kaycee and Bayleigh have their own little alliance of two. 
• If things keep going on course, there won't be an other side before long.
• Who have they got left? Fessy, Haleigh, Bayleigh, Rockstar and Kaitlyn.
• Of that group, Rockstar is the only gun-ho member. Kaitlyn has no boundaries, so she doesn't count. The first three are having regrets.
• Of the others -- Scottie, Sam and JC -- the latter two work with Level 6 more often than not. Or, at least via Tyler. Scottie is close to both Fessy and Tyler. 
• It's very hot there today and the children frolicked in the kiddie pool.
• JC jumped in and hurt himself, not realizing it was that shallow.
• I believe it's three feet deep. Better than no pool, but ...!
• Waffle time! Now Angela and Rachel (who recently decided Kaitlyn should stay) are now saying "Change of plans!" -- they think Rockstar wants to target Brett and Tyler.
• How many more times will the target change before Thursday evening?
• Heehee -- Fessy told Rockstar she should say something about Kaitlyn's boyfriend at home in her speech Thursday.
• Is Thursday ever going to get here?  

Will not be using her power this week

Cooking and cleaning and being Sam

Kiddie pool

Yeah, right

Ready to pirouette now?

Hey, turn that frown upside down!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday - July 24

Waiting for Thursday

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of The Crying Game:

• Once again I don't have a heck of a lot new and interesting for you.
• There was crying.
• When Kaitlyn wasn't crying she was entertaining the girls with fart stories.
• Some are still talking of voting with the house, but it's still a house divided.
• So, how will that work?
• Some think if Rockstar stays, she will target them.
• Some think if Kaitlyn stays, she will target them.
• We might have the scenario that both stay.
• Hmm.
• Sam is still wanting Kaitlyn to be voted out. She's also thinking Kaitlyn would be likely to return.
• Oh, and now Kaitlyn is cuddling Brett.
• @@
• Rockstar has decided she's a free agent.
• That's probably good as her alliance really really sucked.
• And, that was more Kaitlyn's doing than anything Rockstar did.
• I don't like Rockstar. I cringe when I see her.
• BUT ... she hasn't really played sneaky and she was loyal to her sucky alliance!
• Fessy told Rockstar he will vote to evict Kaitlyn, but not to tell anyone.
• Well, duh. After she went all berserk and with all of her now exposed sneaking around, what else would he do but vote to evict her?
• He's a big lunk when it comes to the game. Fessy's gullible and soft-hearted. But he has had it with Kaitlyn's antics.
• He thinks Kaitlyn is a liability. Y'think?
• Rachel and Angela think there may be some pros in keeping Kaitlyn over Rockstar -- they can mold Kaitlyn while Rockstar has her own mindset.
• It still looks like it will probably be Kaitlyn.
• Today is bound to be another cryfess. And, tomorrow, too. 

How DARE he reject Kaitlyn!?!?!

That's Fessy's colorful sock.

I don't know what to do.

Sam still does most of the dishes.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - July 23

Poor Bayleigh

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother house of Hapless Hamsters:

• Everything prior to the veto ceremony is moot at this point.
• As expected (well, by me, feedsters and Fessy himself), Fessy kept his promise to Haleigh and saved her with the veto.
• As I also expected from Sam's conversations although she never came out and directly said it ... she put Rockstar in Haleigh's place.
• Oh my.
• The tears came down!
• Actually, Sam was right -- Fessy would be better NOT using the veto.
• Now he has to deal with Kaitlyn crying at him, accusing him of all sorts of things and being a nightmare.
• Sam explained to the nominees and all the other hamsters all she knows about her power -- the evicted will have a chance to return.
• No one really knows what that means. 
• Some keep bringing up a Battle Back but Tyler shot that down because if more than one has a chance to come back, it's no power at all.
• They've decided it's either an America's Vote or perhaps a single comp pf some sort.
• Rockstar is very upset. Why her? Sam mentioned she's a mother and has an example to set, plus she had to put up someone! And, it's her. It's a game. It's a TV show game.
• Rockstar cried.
• Both Rockstar and Kaitlyn cornered anyone they could and fussed.
• Sam apologized to Brett for not saving Winston last week. She said that, if she could win (and did win) HoH this week, she'd have a say in the nominations.
• Brett was fine with it.
• Sam cried.
• Right now it still looks like Kaitlyn will be the one voted out.
• And she knows it.
• She feels REJECTED!
• Huh. Wait until she gets out of the house. She'll know rejection then!
• Meanwhile, Kaycee and Bayleigh seem to bond more by the day -- and neither of them are really on the radar, especially as a duo.
• I can't get all excited about this eviction. I don't like either of the ones on the block. But I feel it's very likely that if Kaitlyn (the planned eviction) goes, she will win her way back in. Rockstar? Who knows? If it's anything physical, she might fail. 

Poor JC, also stuck with Rockstar

Fessy escapes the drama ... for a moment

And Kaitlyn cried ... and cried

Sam cried, too.

Big Brother 20: Veto Ceremony Results - July 23

I'll be submitting a full feeds report later tonight. Unfortunately I have to catch up a bit as I had a hectic late afternoon.

As I expected, not necessarily what anyone in the house with the exception of Haleigh and Fessy expected ... Fessy saved Haleigh and Sam replaced her with Rockstar.

Lots and lots of crying.

More later!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday - July 23

Not anyone's target

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of The Waiting Game:

• Sunday, for the most part, was the calm after the storm.
• Yet, of course, another storm will come today at the veto meeting.
• This week's Have Nots are Kaycee, Bayleigh, Scottie and Rachel.
• Never before and never again will Scottie sleep with three girls!
• Heehee.
• Sam is already thinking of slop recipes she can try to cook for them.
• Kaitlyn once again professed her love to Tyler, trying to pry for information.
• Tyler, still holding with the now accepted Brett vote lie, insists he has no idea what will go on.
• Kaitlyn continued to pressure Fessy to save her with the veto.
• That is, until she realized how well Haleigh is doing NOT pressuring him
• So, she also told Fessy she'd understand if he didn't use it to save her.
• "But I love you!"
• Despite what she says, she's still trying to influence both Tyler and Fessy.
• And both are uncomfortable about it.
• JC, thinking he was doing a good thing, kept pestering Fessy about the veto. 
• Since he's not privy to Level 5 doings, he thought that's what Tyler wanted.
• Tyler finally had to pull him aside and tell him to knock it off -- with Sam's power it's likely no one will go this week. Tyler doesn't want JC to put a target on his back if one of them wins HoH.
• They had the yard yesterday and it's a doldrums day, so they did a lot of lazing about.
• Scottie told Kaycee he will vote "with the house."
• He has no real clue who that would be for, nor even who "the house" is.
• Fessy is still upset that his side has been blindsided three times with hinky votes.
• I think both he and Bayleigh have been negatively affected by Swaggy in the house.
• Bayleigh is bouncing back quite well. Fessy not so much.
• Rockstar talked to Sam, telling her she's not ready to go home.
• Rats.
• Rockstar decided to say something nice about everyone, even Brett.
• It was rather sickening.
• She's obviously trying to get in good graces because she fears she will be the replacement nominee if Fessy uses the veto.
• Rachel had a missing family cry.
• Sam and Fessy talked. She told him if he uses the veto he protects one person. If he doesn't use it, he's trying to protect two.
• Sam tried to get Fessy to tell her whether or not he will use the veto. But she refused to tell him her potential renom.
• Haleigh now thinks that Fessy will use the veto to save her, but expects her to be loyal to him ... gamewise and showmance-wise.
• Uh-oh.
• I still think he'll probably use it to save her. 

Perfect for a modern day Far Side comic

I guess I'm old. I like Sam's values.

Swaggy was bad for her in the house.

Haleigh is trying to play it cool.

Big Brother 20: HoH Winner, Nominations and Slur Show Blog Party - July 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!

Please remember that the show blog posts are spoiler-free! While the PoV has already happened in the house, that won't air until Wednesday. Also, while I watched the "slur" conversation unfold between JC and Bayleigh, I didn't post on it mainly because I wish to keep this blog slur-free. I don't even like "masked" slurs. Please keep that in mind while commenting.

Oh my. We got the warning that the hamsters don't reflect the views of CBS and on and on. Have I just missed that before or is it for tonight?

We start off with the recap.

Okay, we're to the HoH endurance comp left off on Thursday night. We keep reliving the Rockstar rant over Brett. Instead of the comp, we see more of the chaos from the Brett/Rockstar feud. Back to the comp.

Goop is falling on them, as well as rain. Tyler is still hiding that his vote was for Winston to go. Sam tells us she wants to win to have some kind of control over her power app. 

Rockstar is out of the comp first. She cries on Scottie. Fessy is out next. He doesn't cry on Scottie. Then Brett is out to Rockstar's delight. Byaleigh, Rachel, Angela and Haleigh all gone. JC gone. 

Sam, Tyler, Kaitlyn and Kaycee still in the comp. Kaycee wants Kaitlyn to fall before she will. Kaitlyn down, then Kaycee jumps. Sam is urging Tyler to jump and promises she won't put him up. Tyler jumps down.

SAM is the new HoH!

Rockstar is still upset. Sam tells us that she's already made her mind up what she will do. Rockstar cries some more and insists to Bayleigh that Brett lied. Now she just wants to go home. Wah. Wah. Bayleigh is good with her, but tells us Rockstar needs to pull herself together.

Oh, we get a segment with JC and Tyler planning on setting up Kaitlyn as the Winston vote. He convinces Fessy of Brett's lie. Fessy is SO gullible!

Then Kaitlyn kidnaps Fessie. She tells him that she only trusts him and Tyler. She cries. She cries some more when he tells her the numbers don't add up. 

And we're into the HoH room reveal. Her dog Hogan is amazing-looking. Sam tells them they don't need to freak out, no one-on-ones, she knows what she wants to do, rules say she doesn't tell anyone, no one allowed in her room this week unless she lets them in.

Now Kaitlyn is thinking Sam's power changed the votes. Tyler just acts confused and like she might be right when she told him! 

Into Rockstar harassing Brett again. She wants to show the house how ridiculous it is by herself being ridiculous. Girl needs mental help. She bangs on pots and pans and makes a fool of herself. Meanwhile Brett (whom I really don't like all that much) takes it all in stride. In a DR bit, he tells us she wasn't just bothering him ... she was annoying the whole house and the person who does that is more likely to go home.  

Onto the slur talk. Bayleigh asks if JC is a dwarf. He says that's a genetic condition. She asks him about "midget" after he says he's just short. He says that term is as bad as the racial slur for black folks. She gets upset that he said the full word. They smooth it out after much circular talk on both sides. 

Nominations time -- Sam nominates Haleigh, then Kaitlyn. Because they take the most from the house and contribute the least, don't care how they treat the men in the house -- opposite of female empowerment -- and they don't respect themselves. In the DR she tells us she doesn't like them hanging all over the guys to use them.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday - July 22

JC Two Hats

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Krying Kaitlyn:

• After I posted last night, I found out that Haleigh actually picked Fessy as HG Choice to play the veto.
• And, he promised to take her off the block if he won it.
• Now, knowing that she chose him, it quasi-explains the latest Kaitlyn Death Spiral.
• She knows that it's totally unlikely that Fessy will save her from the block.
• Supposedly, it's a secret that Fessy will save Haleigh.
• But Kaitlyn seems to have kicked up her psychic powers and knows that, even if Haleigh stays on the block, she (Kaitlyn) is likely to be evicted.
• Sam would like Kaitlyn out this week.
• Poor Fessy is getting badgered by Kaitlyn.
• A force field would be nice to bounce her away.
• She's also all over Tyler.
• Both are tolerating her Needy Nellie ways. In that aspect, both are better people than I would be.
• Kaitlyn is so frantic that she even tried to self-evict.
• Y'know, I should feel sorry for her. But I don't. 
• She uses that gurgly voice that people have said is "vocal fry." But I read up on that -- it's supposed to be low register. Her gurgle is all high-pitched and extremely annoying.
• I've noted that Sam and Tyler are a bit alike in dealing with fellow hamsters.
• Both come across as caring, even when they're working against someone.
• Sam is more sincere and will blatantly discuss the faults of a hamster to that hamster in an advice sort of way. But her mind is already made up and she will do whatever she has to do.
• Tyler plays nice and really seems to listen and console a hamster in need. But then he will manipulate and stab 'em in the back so that they never even see it coming or going.
• More hamsters are catching onto Tyler. However, he's not their focus this week.
• Rockstar continued on her Brett rant.
• Bayleigh, talking with Fessy, told him that he begged to play the veto and now he's all upset. Supposedly he wanted to play to keep himself safe. I can see that. But now he has a choice to make!
• The options are: Don't use the veto and Kaitlyn gets evicted. Use the veto to save Haleigh and (probably) Rockstar goes up against Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn gets evicted (although of the two, I might prefer Rockstar go ... on the fence with those two). Save Kaitlyn, Rockstar goes up against Haleigh and Rockstar gets evicted.
• Any way he plays it, it's his own alliance buddies and someone would feel alienated.
• Well, that's a fine pickle you got yourself into, Fessy!
• Fessy talked to Haleigh, telling her he will use the veto to save her.
• She didn't have to cry all over him to get him to say it.
• As a matter of fact, she told him that she would understand if he didn't use the veto if that was better for his own game.
• They both think that if he saves Haleigh, Rockstar will go up in her place and Kaitlyn would go home.
• Meanwhile, Sam has a plan. She knows what her plan is, but won't tell Tyler much more than she knows what she's going to do.
• No matter what she does, she will tell the nominees about the chance to come back. She hopes that will calm some hurt feelings.
• Bayleigh cried. She talked to Sam and Tyler about feeling like everyone treats her like she's not approachable and "barky." Sam told her that it's probably because of her relationship with Swaggy.
• If Bayleigh had her druthers, her choice of allies would be Fessy, Tyler and Sam. She's grown to really dislike the women in her own alliance.
• I can't really blame her there although Haleigh is definitely making strides to improve her behavior as of late.
• Thanks to Sam, that is.
• Kaitlyn thinks she's targeted because she's such a big threat -- making big moves, winning HoH, on and on.
• No, Kaitlyn. It's more because you're annoying. You hang all over whatever guy you need, you manipulate, you allow yourself to be manipulated in your need for approval, you lie and don't own up to it, you think you're some sort of calming influence when you create chaos, you're just so NEEDY. Oh. And you cry so much.
• Kaitlyn kept badgering Fessy to save her with the veto.
• Bayleigh worked on building her relationship with Sam.
• Kaitlyn got upset because Rockstar and Bayleigh were wearing Swaggy t-shirts.
• Heh.
• The backyard opened again. Oh, yay!
• Once again, Haleigh told Fessy that she would understand if he doesn't save her with the veto.
• He told her once again he plans on saving her, but keep it quiet until it goes down.
• And there ya go ... 

Well, Scottie should be safe ...

Making a point

Avoiding Kaitlyn

And Kaitlyn cried

Kaitlyn! Get off of Fessy!

Kaitlyn! Get off of Tyler!
