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!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds, Power of Veto Saturday - July 21

Haleigh really tries to improve

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

• Before the veto players were picked, Fessy said he didn't want it. He said if he won it, he wouldn't use it.
• That's because he says his two best friends now in the house are the nominees -- Kaitlyn and Haleigh.
• Kaitlyn kept at him and at him. If she pulled HG Choice, she wouldn't choose him if he wasn't going to save her.
• He acquiesced a bit, but made no outright promises.
• When the feeds returned from being blocked for the veto players pick, sure enough ... Fessy is playing for veto.
• JC and Rockstar are the other two chosen.
• Leading into the feed block for the comp, Kaitlyn was still pressuring Fessy to save her if he wins.
• He kept telling her the house didn't want the nominations to change.
• She kept at him anyway.
• He finally told her he would probably save Haleigh.
• Heh.
• Well, guess what?
• FESSY won the Power of Veto.
• He's between a rock and a hard place on this one.
• He's had Bayleigh in his ear about the evils of Kaitlyn for days now.
• I think he knows Kaitlyn uses people (men) to keep herself safe.
• And she's a whole lotta needy, too!
• Meanwhile, Haleigh has taken Sam's words to heart and is trying to help more around the house. She's also trying to distance herself a bit from the flirting.
• Kaitlyn is running around threatening to go after Fessy if he doesn't take her off the block.
• Then she hugs him and tells him she loves him.
• Nutcase.
• Rockstar is more concerned who would go up as a renom if Fessy uses it.
• Maybe she's a bit psychic herself and know her name has been thrown in there.
• She thinks Brett should be the renom because he "hasn't acknowledged me as a person since I walked through the door."
• Well, yeah. I'm sure that's the impetus to backdoor Brett in Sam's eyes, too!
• Sam let Fessy hide alone in the HoH room listening to music behind the locked door. She won't allow anyone in there but him while he's there.
• Kaitlyn is going around telling tall tales that she and Fessy agreed this morning that she would throw the comp to him if he would save her.
• Now, that doesn't even make sense.
• If she could win and save herself, do it!
• This should be a Needy Kaitlyn Fest until the veto meeting on Monday.
• Hooray.
• Not. 

I didn't want this

I've gotta get him to save me!

Nope, no win for you!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday Night - July 20

Back in a secure place

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

• As you know from my previous posts: Sam won HoH and her nominations today were Kaitlyn and Haleigh.
• Apparently in her speech she said something about Haleigh needing to respect herself and behave accordingly.
• I thought Kaitlyn was the esteemed life coach?
• Heh.
• Rockstar and Kaitlyn sulked about Sam nominating two women. Y'know, as a woman, she should have worked to get the men out of the house! 
• (No matter whether some of the men might be better for her own game.)
• Rockstar continued to rant on about Brett.
• Now she thinks he must be related to someone (on staff?) because he gets away with everything.
• @@
• Mind you, I don't care for Brett. But, if not for jerks, BB would be boring!
• As much as I enjoy Sam in the house, if it were a house full of Sams, I'd have nothing to report!
• But it's great to have a single Sam!
• Kaitlyn told Bayleigh she would never campaign against Haleigh.
• We'll see how that goes if the nominations remain the same.
• I doubt Bayleigh will use her power this week. She is increasingly annoyed by Rockstar, Haleigh and Kaitlyn (not necessarily in that order). She's still close with Fessy, but is sorry she linked in with those girls.
• Tyler certainly won't have to use his power unless Bayleigh uses hers and puts him on the block. That's doubtful.
• Scottie told Rachel his only way to stay in the game is to win comps, otherwise he's lost. He says he's out of the loop.
• I just think he's not (A) mean enough and (B) doesn't have the people skills to deal with not being mean.
• Part of Sam's reasoning for the nominations is that neither of them contribute to the house -- they just make a mess and let others clean it up.
• The other part had to do with being disrespectful of others and of themselves.
• Oh my.
• She saw Haleigh going to Scottie "playing with his heart" and Kaitlyn doing the same when "she has a man at home."
• Not anymore, it seems! 
• But they don't know that.
• Heh. Sam said if she needs a renom it might be Rockstar because "she can't control herself so early in the game."
• Kaitlyn begged Fessy to save her if he wins the veto.
• He wouldn't commit. He gave the impression he'd rather not play for veto at all.
• Kaitlyn had a brief talk with Sam. It didn't really go anywhere.
• Haleigh had a longer talk with Sam. It may have sunk in. We'll just have to see when the next male HOH happens, will she jump in the bed and lead him on?
• Tyler and Sam had a better talk. She told him that after the veto ceremony and nominees are "locked" in place, she will tell both nominees of her power and that the evicted will have a chance to come back.
• JC said he can't deal with Rockstar anymore for now. He's been trying to calm her down. But he's reached his breaking point. He's no Sam.
• That's it for now!

Do we know her?

Ha! Rockstar's girl alliance, huh?!?!

To cry or to mediate, that is the question

Will surely be a target again

Will she listen to Sam's advice?

The loving HoH

I will haunt your dreams. Nitey-nite!

Big Brother 20: Nominations Bulletin - July 20

Welp, the nominations are in. Sam, who made up her mind and didn't want to be swayed by one-on-one meetings of any kind, has spoken.

Kaitlyn and Haleigh

Let the tears (and cheers) begin.

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

And Kaitlyn cried ...

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

• As you know, the new HoH in town is Sam.
• While everyone cheered on her win, some are really worried now.
• Since Kaycee and Tyler dropped for her, they're not so worried.
• Rockstar ranted on and on about Brett's speech at the eviction.
• And on and on.
• No, Rockstar ... you don't have one of those to suck. Stop being an idiot!
• She even threatened self-eviction.
• Go ahead. 
• Do it.
• Argh ... Kaitlyn talked her out of it.
• The HoH Reveal was different from most.
• Sam laid down the ground rules -- It's HER HoH room, she already knows who she will nominate, no one-on-ones, no one in her room without her permission, no one in her room without her and (as per the rules) she won't tell the nominees ahead of time.
• Good for her!
• About time someone followed the rules about not telling the nominees!
• She said once the comps start, things can happen then.
• She got James Brown for her music. Dang, I like her!
• Although one of her stated reasons for winning HoH was to get off slop, Sam says she won't eat until her fellow Have Nots can ... but she will drink alcohol and sleep in the comfortable bed.
• Rockstar is not only ticked off over Brett's speech, she ranted about both Sam and Brett being recruits for the show and shouldn't be there.
• AND ON HER DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY!
• And Brett doesn't even need the money! Nor does Sam!
• Sam tried her "it's a game" speech to little avail.
• Meanwhile, Bayleigh is doubting her choice of alliances. She told Fessy that she only went with them because of him and Swaggy ... but cannot deal with "those girls."
• There is still controversy over who flipped. Kaitlyn told Fessy she doubts that Tyler flipped and maybe Brett was right in his speech.
• Heh.
• Fessy told her two people had to flip because JC voted for Brett to go.
• Heh.
• Meanwhile, Brett kept up his eviction speech scenario with Kaitlyn and has her really thinking Rockstar flipped.
• Kaitlyn told Rachel that if Tyler flipped, she would kill herself.
• Now, now ... no need for that. Just leave. That would be enough.
• She thinks Haleigh was the other flip vote.
• Foute (whatever) if finished.
• Maybe if they had given their alliance a better name?
• Naw.
• Rockstar's over-reaction is doing her more harm than good.
• Even JC tried to tell her it's only a game.
• Now Bayleigh and Haleigh are wishing they had flipped.
• A bit late for that!
• Now Bayleigh is thinking she's the low man on the totem pole AND that Tyler must have flipped.
• She could very well be right! Heh. Then she changed her mind again.
• Scottie is confused.
• Tyler hinted more to Kaitlyn that Rockstar and Haleigh flipped.
• Bayleigh told Fessy (the only one who knows of her power) that she wanted to use it for her game, not to get out a bullying girl.
• Hmm ... I believe she means Kaitlyn.
• They do think Kaitlyn has everyone wrapped around her little metaphysical fingers.
• Meanwhile, now Kaitlyn is thinking Sam's power was to flip two votes.
• @@
• Rockstar went to pots and pans to harass Brett. How original!
• Sam told her that she would prefer she stop doing that. Sam wanted this week to be "chill."
• After much fussing, Rockstar stopped banging the pots and pans and just started shouting things at Brett.
• Brett maintained his cool, saying later he didn't want to react and get blamed for anything.
• Nominations are later today. No real indication, but I feel Bayleigh and Haleigh, perhaps Rockstar, should worry. 

Sam's coming down to cheers from all

It's MY room!

I'm done! Take me out, Big Brother!

Worried

Not his best look!

Hamster watchers ready?

Ah, Julie is wearing a simple red dress with matching shoes ... much better than last week's outfit! She hints (again) at Sam using her power to save a bro and now we're into the "previously on ..."

But first ... it's a house divided. One vote could make the difference. Which bro will go? Again, pushing the idea of a power app. We get Winston and Brett's ideas on who would/should stay. Kaitlyn is still all upset about Brett's speech mocking her. I doubt she represents her "field." If she does, they're in deep doodoo.

Level 6 is weighing out the pros and cons of the bros. They seem to think Brett is more likely to win comps. The other side gals think Brett is more threatening of the two bros. So, they prefer he goes. The Level 6 gals think work on Sam.

Heh. Rockstar is stuck on the climbing rock wall in the house.  Kaitlyn is still "obsessed" with Tyler. He now realizes he's created a monster. Tyler is in a predicament with both sides thinking they have his vote. Winston wants to tug on Sam's heartstrings for her vote to stay. Again, another Diary Room bit with Sam contemplating using her power app. I really think production prompts those.

We're going to go visit Sam's family in Virginia before they finally get to the live eviction. Aw, Sam's parents are nice. She's very creative and her local people love her.

Finally to the living room!
Brett -- Nervous in front of pretty girls. Shell of a man, broken heart. All of you have repaired that heart. Apologizes to Kaitlyn, says Rockstar was going to flip the vote and blame it on Kaitlyn.
Winston -- Had a poem. Goes on about great duos and leads to the bros. Hard to campaign against Brett, would appreciate staying.

The votes to evict:
Kaitlyn -- Brett
Rachel -- Winston
Kaycee -- Winston
Rockstar -- Brett
Fessy -- Brett
Bayleigh -- Brett
... into commercial ...
Angela -- Winston
Haleigh -- Brett
JC -- Winston
Tyler -- Winston
Sam -- Winston

Six to five, Winston is out. Sam does NOT use her power. Rockstar is lighting into Brett. I thought we might have a brouhaha but she stomped away.

He's not happy. He threw Sam's homemade friendship bracelet to the ground. He's upset that his whole alliance voted against him. Julie let him know that Sam and JC did, too. 

HoH Comp -- Out on a Limb -- standing on a tree in the BB Forest. It's a wall comp indeed. Here comes the rain!

All still up doing shout-outs as the show ends. My live feeds post will be up shortly.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 19

Just playing ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Get Your Schedule Right:

• My apologies for the late show blog post last night. CBS really needs to stop screwing around with the Wednesday night show schedule. They claimed the new schedule is 9pm. It was listed in TV listings at 9pm as late as Monday when I last looked. Then they switched it to 8pm AGAIN. 
• Now, tonight's show will end at the start of an HoH endurance comp. I will post a show post immediately followed by a separate post to follow the comp on the live feeds.
• Be there or be square.
• If the comp is a wall, I wonder how Rockstar will do. She climbed the rock wall in the living room the other day then panicked and couldn't get down. Of course, if she freezes and panics, she just might win a wall comp!
• Oh noes!
• BB used to have strict rules about sending messages to the outside world and writing. Why can Rockstar leave a message for her kid on that one wall? I'm sure the kid appreciates her mother who left the family for three months in search of fifteen minutes of fame sending the message, but ...!
• Okay, that was my Pick On Rockstar segment. I'm over it now.
• Or not. 
• Angela told Brett that she thinks that if Sam doesn't use her power this week, it's automatically played next week. She said she isn't sure.
• I am sure.
• When Bayleigh asked Scottie to describe the game play of others, he said Winston is irrelevant and Sam is sneaky.
• SNEAKY? Sam is one of the un-sneakiest BB players ever! He called that one wrong.
• Scottie is still wanting Brett to go this week.
• Tyler and Company still would prefer Brett stay.
• Lots and lots of "what if" talks about HOH wins and who they'll nominate.
• I, for one, am very happy Bayleigh put herself right in the mix and is playing the game after Swaggy went. I had feared more crying.
• Bayleigh is saying that Kaitlyn has the third power when indeed it's Bayleigh herself who has it. I believe she only told Fessy and he hasn't told anyone else.
• Tyler has remained mum about his power. Good.
• Everyone knows of Sam's power, but the details are sketchy for most.
• A lot of them think JC has the second power.
• When Tyler asked JC if he had a power, JC said he would have told him if he did. But, otherwise, he's just letting the rumors fly!
• Bayleigh and Tyler talked about how possessive others are with friendships in the house. Specifically mentioned were Kaitlyn and Fessy. Yep, they got that right.
• That said, Bayleigh would like to target Tyler. Nothing personal, all game.
• She didn't tell him that, though!
• They played games and did little improv bits to amuse themselves. They played Never Have I Ever.
• It's all a waiting game until tonight.  

Kaitlyn: "I'm a pretty girl."

Fessy 'fesses?

Messages to the outside allowed now?

Best comeback from a showmance eviction

Entertaining themselves

Just a country boy

Big Brother 20: POV Show Blog Party - July 18

Sorry this is late. The show was originally scheduled for 9pm!

It's the get dizzy and spin veto comp. This time, after spinning, they have to stack champagne glasses in a pyramid.

Scottie won the Power of Veto! 

Brett is kicking himself for losing the comp. He's not happy. Sam consoles him and tells us via the Diary Room that she could use her power to save him ... or save it for whomever is evicted next week.

Scottie is ready for the brodown.

Winston is all apologetic for his reactions after the comp to Scottie.

To read or not to read! Haleigh must read 'Hamlet' in costume standing on an apple crate wherever dictated by BB. The first reading is in the kitchen. 494 pages, not to be read all at once, but she must finish reading the entire play. BB is calling her all around the house for the readings.

The bros go to Scottie and propose he take Winston off and backdoor Kaitlyn. They tell him that both sides of the house will be okay with that. 

Oh, geez. Kaitlyn's visions have Brett and Winston coming after her. Scottie admits to her that they did.  Rockstar and Fessy are there, too. It fits Scottie's own agenda, so he's fine with her aura, visions, whatever. So, she confronts the bros.  

Veto meeting time! Scottie lets them talk.
Winston - Doesn't want to campaign against Brett.
Brett - An odd poem, had a vision, you must take me off. 

Mean, but funny.

Scottie didn't save either of them.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 18

Having fun yet?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Waiting For Thursday:

• As I have mentioned before -- the more screen caps I post, the less happening in the house.
• Sigh.
• When it's on the quiet side like now I tend to get irked at the smallest things.
• Rockstar's annoying ridiculous self-imposed character.
• Kaitlyn's increasingly gurgly voice.
• Oh, well. Onto the happenings (or non-happenings) of the day ...
• Brett and Tyler talked about this being the last week for Sam to use her power and she should use it on Brett.
• Hmm. Technically, it's good for another week. It's just that next week there will be no choice.
• Sam would like to build up a mobile haircut salon.
• Not in the house, of course.
• Gah! Sam, I love ya like a sister, but ... why did you tell Rockstar you have a power?!?!
• At least she didn't go into details and told her it ends this week if she doesn't use it.
• Rockstar is convinced that JC also has a power.
• At least Tyler is keeping his mouth shut about his power. Some speculate he has it, but he hasn't told anyone.
• Kaitlyn, now hanging on Scottie a lot more, needs to keep her lies straight. She is no Andy working all sides of the house.
• Kaitlyn also blew up about casting allowing people like Sam into the house when she hasn't a clue how the game is played.
• I'm ready to blow up about them letting Kaitlyn, an obviously unbalanced soul, into the house.
• She also told Scottie that she's disappointed that girls (Kaycee, Angela and Rachel) want to keep Brett when he's so disrespectful of women.
• @@
• Of course, just yesterday she was hanging all over Brett and he apparently preferred the others.
• Tyler has come to the realization that he built a monster named Kaitlyn.
• Winston still can't get JC to commit to voting to keep him.
• That's because JC isn't going to vote to keep Winston.
• JC warned Scottie about all of Kaitlyn's lies and fabrications.
• Hmm.
• JC is working both sides of the house and most know it. But, at least he keeps his stories straight.
• Interesting ... when a couple of the hamsters talked about Kaitlyn holding hands with Tyler and what her boyfriend would think, the feeds cut. Maybe he did indeed get to rescind his permission to be talked about.
• Winston worked for votes to stay. He told Rachel he threw the last HoH comp.
• Some of the hamsters are suspicious that Sam might be a plant, an America's Player sort of thing.
• The ants have come back. The Diary Room told Tyler they need to clean and not leave food sitting out.
• Heh.
• Rockstar claimed that her father once lent Donald Trump a million dollars.
• Yet she says she needs to win the money on the show for her children.
• @@
• The stress is getting to Sam. She cried, all alone.
• Kaitlyn keeps her tears for when the others can give her attention.
• It still looks like Brett will probably stay.

Suffering through Kaitlyn

Winston Bro

Brett Bro

Still a virgin, thankfully.

It's been a whole lotta Shakespeare!

Now in Scottie's hoodie?!?!
