Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 9

All over the feeds this week!

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

• Not a heck of a lot has happened in the overnight hours into the morning.
• Bayleigh and Scottie still believe the lie that Kaitlyn will take Scottie off the block if veto is used and put up Angela.
• Scottie will come off the block ... but it will be Swaggy going up.
• Angela is the invisible hamster this week.
• Scottie has become like the old radio show Chickenman -- "He's everywhere! He's everywhere!"
• Okay. I know I'm dating myself with that reference.
• Rockstar's get-up makes me think of the Far Side comic ladies. 
• At least that reference isn't AS old!
• Although Swaggy doesn't really trust Tyler, he's sure Tyler wouldn't make a move to target him.
• So, Swaggy will be benevolent and keep Tyler around for a few more weeks.
• Isn't that so nice of Swags?
• Brett and Winston continue to be joined at the hip.
• Scottie thinks there may be two powers out there now.
• Y'think?
• The boy is disappointing me thus far.
• Baleigh and Swaggy, after Swaggy said their showmance is secret, made out under the covers.
• @@
• JC complained how uncomfortable sleeping in the satellite dish Have Not beds is. I can only imagine how Fessy must feel.
• As I post this, the feeds are blocked with BB reruns. 
• I'm hoping it's the PoV ceremony.
• I need some excitement.
• I will update with a bulletin if it is the PoV ceremony and let you know if Kaitlyn did according to plan. 

Might have a chance if Swaggy goes

Sports the preppy sweater tied on shoulders

A definite pick even with a swirl!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 8

Over 100 degrees and sunning? Ridiculous!

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

• I don't understand why people lay about sweating in the sun. They're having extreme heat in CA. 
• The hamsters still have the yard and some were wise enough to head out early and not cook in the afternoon sun.
• Kaitlyn hemmed and hawed over naming the Have Nots. She had so many reasons not to name people that it made it so much harder -- no one who was on it last week, no one who's having their period, no one who's sick, two of each gender, no one who's ovulating ...! 
• The Have Nots ended up being Rockstar, JC, Fessy and Haleigh. They volunteered and took the weight of Kaitlyn's conscience.
• JC will fit nicely in the satellite dish bed, Fessy not so much.
• Kaitlyn has delusions of grandeur (not as much as Swaggy, but ...) -- she thinks they're D List celebrities.
• More like the W List. That would stand for Who?
• Oh geez. Kaitlyn tells Haleigh that she plans to take Scottie off the block and put up Swaggy because of the things he said about her.
• @@
• Life coach my foot.
• Then she told Winston that she told Haleigh.
• Swaggy was already a bit worried. You know it will get back to him before the veto meeting.
• At least Haleigh was smart enough to lie to Bayleigh about it. She told her that Kaitlyn is planning replace Scottie with Angela.
• Oh, wait ... not so smart.
• Haleigh told Rockstar about the real backdoor plan.
• She told her that she cannot say anything and she was only telling her so they could regroup and plan ahead.
• For now, at least, Bayleigh believes the Angela lie and reported to Swaggy.
• Kaitlyn got eyeglasses with a camera that even has video -- the "high tech" version of the HoH camera?
• She and Fessy took selfies with them.
• Rachel screamed a lot as per her Crap App.
• For the most part, we still have doldrums. 

Invisible before, now he's everywhere

At least she's in the pool

HoH camera eyeglasses

Plain old very weird eyeglasses

Swaggy, you did it to yourself

Big Brother 20: Nominations Show Blog Party - July 8

I'll be live-blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast -- refresh this page to get the latest update! As always, the real party is in the comments area; please feel free to join in on the fun!

Just a reminder ... some folks only watch the aired television shows and don't read the live feeds reports. The Power of Veto won't air until Wednesday on the show. Please keep comments spoiler free! Thank you! 

Of course, we must sit through "previously on." Tapping my foot here. 

Kaitlyn is seeing the signs and the universe is going the way it's supposed to go. Tyler wants to use his new alliance with Kaitlyn to get a Swaggy side person out of the house.

Winston is taking the credit with Brett and Rachel over Kaitlyn's vote to keep Sam. But Tyler wants it to remain a mystery. Swags is ticked that Winston accused him of having a meeting with Tyler and Fessy. Bayleigh thinks Swags should control his mouth a bit better.

Scottie is bereft without Steve. Poor baby. 

Nine hours before the eviction Tyler told Kaitlyn that her alliance doesn't trust her -- Swags called her a cannonball and bottom of their alliance. Tyler told her she needed to vote for Steve to be evicted. And, as we know, that's what she did. 

Swags and Bayleigh have decided they're Swayleigh. Blech. Both know the showmance isn't good for their individual games.

Heh. In a shaving JC's back segment, Rachel was using the shaver upside down.

Tyler tells us Swaggy must go as he's the leader of the other side. He wants to get Kaitlyn thinking it's her own idea. He tells Kaitlyn that Sam has the power to have her not put Sam on the block. She wants to put Brett and Winston up. She's keen on a Backdoor Swaggy plan. 

Sam is using the idea that she has the power to keep her off the block with Kaitlyn. Winston is receptive to going on the block as a move to backdoor Swaggy. She tells Scottie she wants Winston out and she wants to put him up as a pawn. He thinks it's a dumb plan. They don't realize she's working with Tyler and Company. She also tells Swaggy her target is Winston. 

The App Store is about to open! Rachel gets the Crap App and chooses YELL. She will get feedback on her game and YELL! 

Yep, I guessed it right! TYLER got the Power App. He chooses The Cloud. Keep himself from going on the block during any one nomination or veto meeting, he sits on the cloud. It's good for two months. 

Kaitlyn tries to console Scottie about putting him on the block. She promises him he won't go home.

She's worried that whoever has the Power App might influence her nominations or HoH. Tyler is remaining mum about his win. 

Nominations Ceremony time --
Scottie, then Winston. Loves Scottie but could have gone on the block if he could save Steve. 

Wednesday's show will be 8pm ET/PT, not 9pm ET/PT

Off Topic: Plainfield NJ Fourth of July Parade

I've been absent from my off topic photography posts due to needing back surgery, having back surgery and now slow recovery from back surgery. I haven't been able to really get around much. However, the local parade goes right by my apartment building. Even so, I had to give up sitting in a hard folding chair after more than two hours and missed the end of the parade. (I certainly heard it, though!)

Here are some of the photos I took ...

BIg Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 8

Needs to get her own game on

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

• As you (should) know from my last brief update, Tyler won the Power of Veto.
• The comp, blocked to the live feeds, had them individually timed running back and forth trying to put up the right answers concerning previous hamsters.
• Obviously, they were able to read something during the comp as half of the hamsters don't know anything about previous hamsters.
• Cody made an appearance and was the "special guest."
• Swaggy told Fessy he's worried about how tough Tyler is with two comp wins.
• He should worry.
• Me? I like Tyler better anyway!
• Tyler thinks if he takes Scottie off the block, Scottie will switch to their side.
• He might have a point. Scottie has only really hit it off with Kaitlyn and Steve so far. And, of course, Steve is gone.
• Tyler told Kaitlyn he really didn't want to win the veto and just guessed right.
• Kaitlyn is more worried by the minute that, if she backdoors Swaggy, the other side will come after her.
• Well, that is the game, girlie!
• She also thinks Cody doesn't like her.
• Why should she even care about that? After watching Cody last season and her this season, no ... I bet he doesn't. She would drive him up the wall. But, what difference should it make to her?
• Heh. Winston apparently picked Tyler for the PoV comp as Houseguest's Choice. And, if all goes as planned, Tyler will pull Scottie off the block and leave Winston sitting there.
• Fessy is still working on his Kaitlyn alliance. He told her that although Swaggy and him are close, he will always come in second with him due to Bayleigh. Kaitlyn is his Number One.
• Oh my.
• Swaggy is feeling quite insecure right now. He feels that backdoor coming, probably sooner rather than later.
• Winston knows of the plan to take Scottie off the block. He's a bit antsy because no one knows who has the power.
• We know that Sam only has this week and next to save a hamster until the power just goes to whoever is evicted in the fourth week.
• Nah, she ain't gonna use it on Winston!
• In her renom speech, Kaitlyn is going to mention Swaggy calling her a liability and the bottom of the pack in the alliance. She's also looking for new dirt and has people listening for more.
• JC continues his caring about Sam despite the absence of SamBot.
• Rumors keep flying because no one knows who got the Power App.
• I personally think, with no confirmation on the feeds, that Tyler might have it. I can see him keeping it a secret.
• They got the backyard after 1am their time. Commence just hanging out, using the hot tub, using the gym equipment and catching up on laundry.
• They will surely sleep in this morning. 

Tyler is a good influence on her game

Dirty feets there, Sam!

Da boyz get their free gym

Hot tub time!

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Winner - July 7

Over five hours. Yes, we're talking five hours of blocked live feeds. If I wanted to watch reruns of previous BB seasons, I could watch them on CBS All Access. But we finally do have a winner and that won't air until Wednesday on the show. Spoilers ahead ...

Will the Tyler/Kaitlyn plan to backdoor Swaggy stay in effect now that Tyler has the PoV? I don't know. It's a long time between now and the PoV meeting.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Into Saturday - July 7

Haleigh gets around, doesn't she?

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

• I swear BB gave a lot of staffers time off during the holiday week. I don't think I've ever seen focus on one room as much as lately. All four cams will be on one room with Cams 1 and 3 identical shots, Cams 2 and 4 will be another angle of the same room. 
• Okay, if you missed the latest -- Kaitlyn put Winston and Scottie on the block and is hoping one will come down, Swaggy goes up and out.
• And, that's kind of where I left you last night.
• Bayleigh and Swaggy continue their showmance although both fear it could lead to ruining their games.
• I personally doubt it will last beyond the house, too.
• But they're young and foolish. 
• Lots of rumors flying about who got the Power App -- whoever it is is keeping it on the down low for now.
• We know Rachel got the Crap App and chose YELL.
• Winston and Brett think that Scottie must have it because he lost Steve.
• Hmm.
• Winston knows that Kaitlyn wants to backdoor Swaggy and that he himself is a pawn.
• Kaitlyn told Scottie that he (Scottie) is a pawn and Winston is the target.
• Kaycee and Sam are bonding a bit. Kaycee gave Sam some solid advice like not to talk game with Scottie or he'll run it right to Swaggy.
• That's spot on. But Sam feels Scottie is an ally and a friend. We'll have to see if she heeds the advice.
• Sam told Kaycee the names of the other Power Apps she saw when choosing her power. Without the actual descriptions, they can only guess at the powers themselves.
• Heh. Swaggy told Fessy he doesn't trust Tyler. And, get this ... Fessy spoke up for Tyler and said he wouldn't go against him.
• Making that stereotype of brawn and no brain an apt descriptor, huh?
• Swaggy is even sure that Tyler leaked to Kaitlyn that he said she was at the bottom of the alliance.
• Tsk, tsk. He's no fool, but he's certainly made himself a target.
• After going on about things to Fessy, Fessy told Swags that if they can get Tyler and Brett out, Kaitlyn will come back to them.
• Good luck with that, boys.
• The Power of Veto players were picked -- in addition to Kaitlyn, Winston and Scottie, we have Tyler, Rachel and Fessy.
• Kaitlyn is nervous that Swaggy might be popular and she'd look bad getting him evicted.
• Tyler thinks that America is not thrilled with Swaggy and she'd be fine.
• Kaitlyn told him that she likes Fessy, but trusts Tyler more.
• She's smarter than I initially gave her credit.   

Shower talks

The excitement is draining

"This is all a mental game."

Looking the fool

I miss the pretty colors on her

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday Night, Nominations - July 6

Thought brawn would rule the comps

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

• Early in the day there was a pinky swear between Tyler and Kaitlyn.
• What was it?
• Well, she would put Scottie and Winston on the block with the idea to backdoor Swaggy.
• How good is her pinky swear?
• Stay tuned.
• Then Kaitlyn told Scottie that she can't put his choice of Brett and Winston on the block together because she feels Brett is a friend.
• She and Scottie talked about an Angela backdoor.
• There was no pinky swear.
• Now, earlier she had told Brett that she wouldn't put him, Tyler, Fessy, Rockstar or Haleigh on the block.
• Sam and Kaitlyn talked. Sam thanked her for the vote and promised honesty and friendship. She also told her of her power.
• Kaitlyn told Sam that she plans on backdooring a big target this week.
• In her talk with Winston, she told him she was going to have to put him and Scottie on the block but the plan was to backdoor Swaggy.
• She also asked him if he is a surgeon. Remember, she can read people and she is SO sure he's a doctor.
• He once again said he sells medical supplies and yeah, to surgeons. But, no. He is not a doctor.
• In her talk with Fessy, she said Winston is the target.
• When she talked with Swaggy, she said the same and made him promise not to use the veto if he wins it.
• She's playing this (at least for now) smarter than I thought she would.
• When JC talked with her, he told her he didn't want to know the plan now. Just tell him before the vote how to vote.
• He also hinted that "people" were after her and wouldn't name names. But he gave a nod when she mentioned Fessy's side.
• We had a long feed block with BB reruns. 
• Real long.
• It was the BB App Store. 
• Rachel got the Crap App -- she chose YELL.
• Kaitlyn promised Scottie if she can HG Choice Fessy and he wins Veto, he will pull him off the block.
• Scottie isn't any sort of real target at all ... for anyone.
• But you do know what they say about pawns.
• There was another long BB rerun feeds block and ...
• ... Kaitlyn nominated Scottie and Winston for eviction.
• Wasn't there a rule that they aren't supposed to tell nominees prior to nominations?
• Hmm. 

Whoa! That's worse than a man-bun!

But I look so good shirtless

Definitely has game

A new bromance?

SamBot didn't whisper. Sam does.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - July 6

No more SamBot!

Here the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Really? Kaitlyn won Hoh?

• I predict a lot of tears will be shed this week by our new HoH.
• How can you tell when a comp is more luck than skill? When Kaitlyn wins it.
• I know. I'm cruel.
• But, the good news is that Sam is no longer a robot and remains in the house.
• I'd prefer to watch her rather than Steve. I found him rather boring. It bugs me that I didn't care for him, though. I usually can identify more with a sole "old" house hamster. 
• Bayleigh and Haleigh think it was Scott who flipped the vote.
• Now, had Scottie made himself a bit more present with people, they all would have realized that he would never have voted for Steve to be evicted.
• Heh. Level 6 is still playing along with Swags & Co. that Brett has the power. Tyler told Winston that he told Swaggy that Brett used the power to change a vote.
• Not that Swaggy really believes him. He told Bayleigh that he thinks Kaitlyn flipped. He's right.
• Rockstar, Haleigh and Kaitlyn started a female alliance.
• Yeah ... those always work out so well!
• Hmmm ... they were discussing getting with Bayleigh and working to evict Swaggy and Fessy. Oh my. 
• Bayleigh? Yup. She knows that Swaggy called her a "liability."
• I doubt it will keep her out of his bed for long, though.
• Kaitlyn had her HoH room reveal and everyone overreacted.
• Her boyfriend's name is Bean.
• I'm not surprised.
• Swaggy thinks he's safe this week.
• I dunno. I wouldn't bet on it.
• Kaitlyn plans on talking to everyone one-on-one before making her nomination decisions.
• She probably needs to double-check their auras.
• Haleigh thinks one from their side should always be in the HoH room to keep Kaitlyn from talking to the others.
• Hmm.
• Bayleigh told Swaggy that she thinks Tyler needs to go. Remember, Swaggy thinks Tyler is his buddy.
• I can't really see Kaitlyn putting Tyler on the block anyway.
• Rockstar cried. It's all harder than she though it would be. Too bad, so sad. She should have had to been a robot for ten or eleven days!
• Brett told Kaitlyn he never had the power and was just spreading the rumor to keep the attention off of her vote for Sam to stay.
• Tyler went ahead and told Kaitlyn that Sam had and still has the power and she shouldn't put her on the block.
• Kaitlyn is still torn between the two sides and there's no real indication who she will nominate.
• After all, she has to meet with each one. 

At least no copyrighted tattoos

But ... but ... he's so SWAGGY!

Sleeping arrangements

Scottie got feed time and Kaitlyn attention

Big Brother 20: Live Eviction Show, HoH Blog Party - July 5

Ah, the first live eviction of the season! Will it be Steve or Sam? Will Sam have to use her power? And, what the heck are the real details on that dang power?

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!

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

Hamster watchers ready?

Oooh ... Julie Chen is showing shoulders! Let's sit through the recap of previous episodes. Julie tells us that Sam wins the chance to come back if she wins a live challenge (if she's the one voted out).

We're into a house divided segment, along with a scramble for votes. Steve thinks his group is solid. Seven votes are needed. Of course, Tyler can't vote unless it's a tie. 

Aw, Kaitlyn and Fessy have so much in common! (Weirdness?)

Poor SamBot is still clambering about. Thankfully, if she remains tonight, that will be all over. Poor JC will be bereft without SamBot. Meanwhile, Haleigh and Fessy are falling for each other, but each is scared to act on it. For now, anyway. Kaitlyn is a bit disturbed by their "friendship."

Rachel and Kaycee are wondering why Steve hasn't even talked to them about the vote -- it bothers them that he feels so secure.

Level 6 needs one more vote to get to the magic number of seven. They want to work on Kaitlyn. 

Fessy is in infatuation while Haleigh balks. But, from what she told us, she just might go with the feeling. Sure enough, canoodling starts. Kaitlyn is not a happy hamster about the situation. She cries to Tyler about it.

Hmm ... lost the audio when Julie teased about the HoH comp. It better be back after the commercials! 

Time for the live vote (with audio even!)
Steve -- Love to family, says nice things about Sam and all, would love to stay, no ill will if doesn't stay
Sam -- Love to family, loves all and robot, too. Each touched my heart. Doesn't want it to end. 

The votes to evict:
Scottie -- Sam
JC -- Steve
Swaggy -- Sam
Bayleigh -- Sam
Rachel -- Steve
Kaycee -- Steve
And we have a commercial break.
Fessy -- Sam
Haleigh -- Sam
Angela -- Steve
Brett -- Steve
Winston -- Steve
Kaitlyn -- STEVE
Rockstar -- Sam

Steve has seven votes and he's evicted! Fessy, Swags and Bayleigh are in shock.

In his talk with Julie he kept going on about how he loves them all. 
Gag. 

Finally ... the HoH comp is starting. "Land a Job" -- Several sought after jobs, catapult a ball, hits building with the highest value wins. 

Scottie 40K
JC Missed buildings OUT
Brett OUT
Winston 12K OUT
Sam 50K -- Scott's out now
Kaycee 1K - OUT
Fessy OUT
Kaitlyn 80K - Sam is OUT
Angela OUT
Bayleigh OUT
Swaggy OUT
Rockstar OUT
Haleigh OUT
Rachel OUT

KAITLYN is the new HoH.
Amazing.
She'll probably have a nervous breakdown as HOH and will need a life coach to guide her.

My apologies to Ginnyjulie, Sally, uncartie, Karen in California -- you have been evicted from the pool. (But you can still hang out!)
 

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 5

You don't often see shirts like that.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Hamster's Hamazon:

• We're still in the doldrums -- that long stretch of down time in the house.
• Yawn.
• Steve, with his inner Eastern time zone inner clock, got up early and sat alone. He mouthed some words for a while and I thought my sound was off. Then he coughed. I heard that loud and clear.
• The least he could do is talk to us!
• BB's rule for this season is that the hamsters must be awake 10am to 10pm (their time, not mine).
• The BB voice gets quite demanding when they don't follow its rules.
• But no one is banging pots and pans.
• Tyler still wants Kaitlyn to their side to keep Sam in the house (so she can hang onto her power).
• Sam and Tyler mull telling Kaitlyn that Sam has the power.
• Gah! Kaitlyn's so haphazardly needy that I can see her blabbing to Fessy!
• Sam worked on the rather elusive (on the feeds) Scottie and even pinky-sweared to work with him if she stays.
• He remained noncommittal as far as voting goes, though.
• Despite all their worries about being in a showmance bringing their individual games down, Bayleigh and Swags continue to canoodle. 
• Not surprisingly, because you can tell he honestly seems to like her, JC committed to voting to keep Sam.
• They feel they just need to get Kaitlyn now.
• Hmm.
• Meanwhile, Scottie ran to Steve and reminded him that he's his "ride or die" and told him Sam approached him.
• And Steve talked to Kaitlyn and Kaitlyn told him that Sam doesn't realize how close she is with him (Steve).
• Fessy and Haleigh continue to canoodle a bit even though Fessy thinks she spends too much time with Tyler ... who's also sweet on her.
• Oh my.
• Tyler told Sam she needs to give up trying to get Scottie to keep her. He thinks it looks like she's going to have to use her power.
• He will act shocked when it's revealed so the others don't know he knows about it.
• And then Winston thinks it might be smart for them to split the votes.
• Froot Loop doofus!
• Angela and Winston are thinking it's best to keep Steve and swing him over to their side.
• JC told them that he can't understand why they're considering keeping a strong player like Steve in when they have the chance to get him out.
• Steve is a strong player?
• I don't know about that.
• Swaggy continues to blab all his business to Tyler.
• Tyler continues to remember all.
• Kaitlyn is still believing they will have a battle back.
• I don't know if she knows that they only did that one season. It's not like OTEV that's done every season.
• Tyler came up with a signal for the live vote -- if his hair is down, evict Steve. Up, evict Sam.
• We'll have to watch his hair!
• The votes seem very iffy right now.
• I think Sam is going to be forced to use her power.
• OH GEEZ! Tyler told Level 6 hamsters about the power!
• He told them that it would be best if she could get by without using it so early in the game.
• GAH!
• TYLER!
• WHY!?!?!
• They promised they wouldn't tell, but ...!
• Sam does not know he told, nor did she want him to tell.
• Tyler worked more on Kaitlyn to get her to keep Sam.
• While the didn't come out and say Sam has the power, he told Kaitlyn that no one on "that" side trusts her, if Sam is voted out the power will be used and she (Kaitlyn) will end up being a target.
• Kaitlyn is thinking Brett has the power.
• It appears that she has been swayed by Tyler.
• But, who knows?
• Put that in your aura and smoke it.
• Tonight should be interesting even though it appears the comp itself is a crapshoot luck with a little bit of skill one. 

It's Scottie! Remember Scottie?

I have more swag than Swaggy!

Chug that on down.

My punishment is SO horrible!

At least she doesn't make Spock eyebrows

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 4

I'll be live-blogging it as it airs. Refresh the blog to get the latest! And, of course, the real party is in the comments -- I hope to see you there! I doubt we'll have a big turn-out tonight here on the blog. Most of the other stations have firework displays for the holiday.

Expect the "previously on" to start it out. 
Finally, that's over and we can actually begin the show!

Sam tells us she will keep the power app close and will use it best to her advantage. Fessy told them he got the crap app -- it will soon be obvious anyway. Tyler tells Sam he needs her to stay there. She likes him. She tells him she has a "thing." She will stay even if evicted, no guarantee. She was very vague. Tyler thinks it's the power app but he's confused. She won't give him details.

Swaggy says he likes Tyler and thinks he can work with him. So, he takes it upon himself to tell Tyler that, if the veto is used, Angela needs to go. Heh. Angela is an ally of Tyler. Tyler tells Swags that Bayleigh would need to go up. Now, she's Swaggy's cuddle buddy even if he is getting scared of a showmance.

Hamazon delivery at the front door! Hamazon Swine for Fessy! It's actually vegetarian ham as Fessy can't eat ham due to his religion. He can't even go to bed until he finishes the huge delivery. And ... then ... more ham!

Swaggy tells Bayleigh that Tyler wants to put her on the block if he needs a replacement nominee. She feels betrayed. She also feels Swaggy will drop her at any time to save his own game. (Well, as he should. He's there to win not to find love in all the wrong places.) 

Poor Bayleigh is in tears. Swags is trying to console her. She thinks they need to distance themselves from each other and she may be a target because of him. So, she goes to talk to Tyler. He tells her if she goes up, she's a pawn. He tells her that she's the safest bet. She thinks he's throwing her under the bus. "What about Angela?" Tyler hints to Bayleigh that Angela just might have the power and she needs to trust him. "Pawns go home," she tells him.

Time to pick veto players! Tyler randomly picks HG Choice and chooses Swaggy, telling us he would keep the noms the same and Steve will go. Sam gets Scottie. Steve gets HG Choice and goes for Fessy. 

Tyler tells the dudes that Steve will stay ... even though we know he wants Sam to stay. Tyler tells us he loves it that Swaggy's side tells him everything that's going on with them. Heh.

PoV Comp has them participating in viral videos. The first one has snakes. Real ones. They must retrieve three light icons from under the snakes, one at a time. The least amount of light icons done is out when time is up. Steve is done first! Sam second. Scottie is out.

Stage 2 is in the Arctic. They have to go into ice water to retrieve the light icons. Swags is out.

Stage 3 is to become a human paintball target holding positions on little teensy ramps while being shot at. Steve fell and is out. 

Stage 4 has them bring back ten balls, one at a time, with "lightning bolts" coming at them. Sam is having real problems with the shocks. Fessy is done first. Sam is out.

Tyler makes a deal with Fessy to keep the noms the same if he wins. Tyler has to throw it.

Stage 5 has them drinking bad stuff. Fessy wins the Power of Veto!

Steve thinks Fessy will take him off the block and he's in a good position. Tyler thinks Fessy will keep his word and he won't have to change nominations, so he's in a good position. 

Veto meeting time ... interrupted by a Hamazon delivery for Fessy! No speeches ... Fessy does NOT use the Power of Veto.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday - July 4

We're running this show!

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

• One thing I am liking about this season so far -- something new and different for BB -- the hamsters tend to keep their clothes on (for the most part). Now, I grew up with brothers. They rarely ran around the house shirtless. And I almost never walked around in a bathing suit unless I was going to go swimming.
• Yeah, I'm a voyeur watching these hamsters. But not for the sex appeal, I'm not a voyeur!
• The rock wall got some use yesterday.
• I prefer to watch that rather than chess but all I can think of is foolishness and falls.
• The long feeds cut yesterday was apparently practice for the HoH comp. 
• I guess the practice was yesterday not today because they didn't want to pay more for a full staff on the holiday.
• Yes, this is the show that ends up buying dollar store toys.
• They think will be able to practice more today. But, I guess the initial practice had lots of instruction. They'll have ten balls each, so it has to be one of the crapshoot comps coming.
• Tyler tried to work on bringing Kaitlyn over to his side, even to the point of hinting that Sam might have a power.
• But he didn't come out and say it.
• Kaitlyn once again cried to Fessy because ... well, she's not his only interest in the house.
• Mind you, she speaks of a boyfriend at home. Often.
• Kaitlyn is as dippy as I thought she would be from reading her bio and not seeing her in action.
• Brett and Haleigh hung out together, flirting a bit but amounting to little.
• Fessy is not happy that she's hanging around Brett.
• Poor Fessy. He knows Kaitlyn's been hanging around Tyler, even Rockstar hanging with Tyler to a lesser extent -- his harem is slinking away?
• Scottie and Sam talked. He told her that she can't play the game right when she's a robot.
• Y'think?
• SamBot, knowing that Scottie is Steve's ride or die, lied to him and told him she didn't get the power.
• Swags doesn't think Fessy's Hamazon punishment for lowest trending was all that bad. Thus, he thinks, the reward for best trending probably isn't all that.
• Heh.
• Then again, Swags thinks if they gave the girls lap dances, it would make great TV. @@
• He also thinks he's running the house. @@
• Kaitlyn continued to bond with Tyler. I don't think she's adept enough to even think of playing both sides of the house.
• We'll see how that goes.
• They never did get more practice time last night.
• Maybe today ...

A clean window is a happy window.

Femme fatale?

Domo arigato, Mrs. Roboto, domo!

Not a manscaper, obviously.

Miss Manners did not school JC.

Fessy without his hair slicked back.
