Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - August 3

"I suck at this game."

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Feast or Famine:

• Nah, I'm not talking Have Nots. I'm talking activity!
• The feeds were down for quite a time here after the live show on the East Coast.
• When they came back, Rockstar seemed beside herself and exiled herself in the storage room crying for a long time.
• Kaycee pointed out to the others that Rockstar had come so close to seeing photos of her kids; that's why she was so upset.
• JC said she cried after each HoH.
• I say, people who claim to miss their family so much should think twice about going on a three month long reality television show.
• I'm sorry. I'm mean. 
• When she finally did talk, she said she was a "math-tard."
• For the longest time, Bayleigh paced back and forth alone upstairs in the hallway, muttering to herself.
• Scottie and Fessy spent a lot of time looking confused.
• In contrast to the viewer excitement over the blindside and Rachel's Epic Exit, the hamsters themselves were quite subdued.
• By the way, all remaining hamsters have made jury.
• They are all happy with that. 
• Sam baked cookies because so many people were just moping around.
• Angela told Sam that she (Sam) can consider this week a vacation week and assured her safety.
• But Sam has a bug up her butt about Haleigh and feels that Haleigh will be all over Angela for the entire week.
• Oh. And Brett and Haleigh snuggled in the storage room. Well, after Rockstar vacated it, mind you.
• Oh, Brett! She voted for you to go home!
• Tyler told Fessy and Rockstar that Rachel told him about Bayleigh's power.
• Later on, Fessy kept saying he knew nothing about the power to Tyler. Tyler knows better.
• Remaining Level 6 plus JC sat and figured out that, no matter what happens, they will decide who leaves this week -- if the house sides vote a tie, it's Angela with the tiebreaker. Win-win.
• Scottie, Rockstar, Haleigh and Fessy all intermittently argued about who flipped. JC even got in that action and played off his part well!
• They apparently would rather think it was each other, not Tyler. Heh.
• Bayleigh ended up telling both Sam and Tyler separately all about her power -- including the fact it's good until the final eight.
• Bayleigh is still drinking Tyler's Kool-Aid. 
• The feeds cut out to BB reruns! A shot rang out! The maid screamed!
• Er, no. Okay. BB told them about the Hacker Comp in the feeds blockage.
• It seems that the Hacker winner can replace one hamster on the block and Bayleigh's power cannot override it.
• Angela thinks it diminishes her own HoH reign. I agree. Tyler pointed out to her that it also diminishes Bayleigh's power.
• Kaycee thinks the Hacker comps will be similar to the Roadkill ones a few seasons back. I would like that myself. Those were fun.
• In their talk, Tyler and Angela discussed flushing out Bayleigh's power by putting her up with Fessy. But then decided the best noms would be Rockstar and Fessy, telling Fessy he's the pawn and Scottie is the backdoor target.
• Tyler told Angela he plans to go for the win in the Hacker Comp.
• Angela did one-on-one talks and, if you just listen to it, it sounded like she and Bayleigh will be together to the end.
• I doubt it. If anything, she might try to backdoor Bayleigh this week. Her alliances are not with Bayleigh.
• So many are doing a good social/talking game this season! Tyler is going to be legendary. But JC and now even Angela are working it. And, then there's Sam who really does and says her own thing, but then makes each other hamster feel special.
• Well, I don't think she'll make Haleigh feel special this week, but ...!
• Oh, geez Sam.
• She called a house meeting and suggested they all refuse to play the Hacker Comp, let her win it and she will promise not to use it.
• @@
• Oh, that's just not gonna happen. Sam thinks it would put control of the game back in their hands. Others think it would just put it in her hands.
• Heck, they wouldn't even agree to vote on it!
• Meanwhile the Who Betrayed Whom Debate continued with Rockstar and Bayleigh. Bayleigh kept accusing Rockstar of having an alliance with Brett.
• Again, Tyler did not appear a suspect.
• Bayleigh, Rockstar and Haleigh still want their final three. Well, according to Bayleigh, that is.
• Rockstar cried some more.
• Sam tried to console Rockstar.
• Oh, but then Bayleigh and Haleigh "ganged up" on Rockstar.
• Bayleigh claims that Rockstar and Scottie are "masterminds of the game."
• So not so!
• Especially not Rockstar!
• In her one on one with Bayleigh, Bayleigh told Angela all about her power and said she wouldn't be using it unless Fessy goes on the block. Angela told her she's not going to be putting either her (B) or Fessy up -- she'll be putting up two people who have repeatedly had her name "in their mouths."
• Hmm ... is she implying Scottie and Haleigh? Scottie and Rockstar?
• Angela acted like Bayleigh's BFF. 
• Ha.
• In her talk with Fessy, she told him he's not a target and poked around for information that Scottie had been targeting her. He wouldn't say.
• In her talk with Scottie, he admitted trying to target her when talk was of putting Rachel and her on the block.
• He then said Rockstar was his real target. Angela agreed with that.
• In her (most likely honest) talk with Kaycee, Angela thinks she will put Scottie up as a pawn, Rockstar the target.
• They don't think anyone will save Rockstar with the veto.
• Angela wants the final four to be herself, Brett, Tyler and Kaycee.
• At least that's what she told Kaycee.
• And, it is all Level 6 -- if they can do it, this will be one of those legendary alliances in BB. 
• And on it goes ... 

You're safe this week, Sam.

What is happening?

Maybe they can be Brettleigh

Come see my HoH room!

Scrambling for cover

Scottie: "I'm like a junkyard dog."

Hamster watchers ready?

Oh my ... not Julie Chen's best look -- a red top that looks boxy! But first ... let's have a recap.

Julie tells us another blindside may be in the works. But to which side?  We get a bit of Queen's attitude from the Diary Room. But, she doesn't seem to see Tyler behind anything!

Rachel is freaking. Tyler goes to talk to Bayleigh, further cementing her trust in him. Ha. She thinks she has a new ally! Ha!

Kaycee and Angela are bothered by Rachel's behavior and think keeping Brett is a better idea. Of course, that's just what Tyler wanted them to think. Brett talks about the number of girls versus guys in the house to JC and Tyler.

Sam tells Tyler she'll do whatever he says. Scottie (of Bayleigh and Co.) is counting Tyler in with their vote to keep Rachel. Tyler has them fooled pretty darn well. 

Tyler tells Brett about Rachel telling Angela about Bayleigh's power. He's trying to think of a way to use that to his advantage. 

Fessy is a bit bugged that Brett and Haleigh are hanging out together. Haleigh tells Brett that she's not a "thing" with Fessy. She tells him she's "pro-Brett." We'll see how that goes.

The next segment will be Swaggy meeting Bayleigh's parents.

Whoa! That's some house she lives in! Her mother referred to her as Queen Bayleigh. Dad asks what his intentions are. He tells them that he loves her.  They seem to like him.

WARNING -- BAD THUNDERSTORMS COMING THROUGH HERE. IF I VANISH, I'M FINE -- HOPEFULLY MY POWER WILL STAY ON! 

To the living room!
Rachel -- Shout-outs to Jesus Christ and all! Hated be on the block next to you. I hope you vote to keep me. Love.
Brett -- Knows I was target, Rachel pawn. Tells of Rachel telling about the power app. All girls alliance Maneaters. 

The votes to evict:
Rockstar - Brett
Angela - Rachel
Kaycee - Rachel
Scottie - Brett
To commercial(s) ... 
Tyler - Rachel
Sam - Rachel
Fessy - Brett
JC - Rachel
Haleigh - Brett

They did it! Rachel is out! She runs out while Bayleigh and Rockstar's mouths are still hanging open! She remains surly, confused and mad throughout her Julie interview. She can't see where she did anything wrong. Angela left her a nasty goodbye message. She's shocked her alliance turned on her.

To the HoH comp - it's full of GIFs of things happening in the previous comps. on the memory wall shown earlier to the houseguests. GIF that keeps on giving. True or False questions. Seven questions.

1. Kaycee out
2. All right
3. JC out
4. Sam out
5. Only Rockstar, Haleigh and Angela were right.
6. Haleigh out
7. Both right ... to a tiebreaker

ANGELA IS THE NEW HOH! 

Julie announces a new twist -- a Hacker comp.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - August 1

Tyler IS the In Crowd

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

• Today ended up being a day with drama and studying.
• Angela went to Bayleigh and told her that Rachel told her that she (Angela) was going to be targeted if the veto was used.
• Now, remember, Bayleigh did plant that seed and demanded Rachel keep mum.
• So, then there was drama over who said what and why is Rachel telling things that were told her in confidence.
• Rachel talked to Tyler who said he never wanted Angela targeted.
• It was meant to be a kerfuffle to get people wanting Rachel to go away instead of Brett.
• I don't know. Rachel is still all over Bayleigh, Haleigh, Rockstar and Fessy.
• She definitely has alienated her own bunch yet she's way bottom and not trusted by her new "allies."
• Bayleigh and Company still think it's going to be a landslide for Brett to go.
• Tyler still has his people in action trying to flip it.
• Rachel refused to tell Tyler if Bayleigh had the power app. Now, she had told Angela and Angela told him (and all of Level 6). So, by refusing to tell Tyler, Rachel has definitely crossed to the other side.
• I'm still not sure which of the two will go.
• At the moment I think it will be close with Rachel going.
• But that's subject to change.
• The yard stayed open this morning, thus they know it's not a big set-up for the HoH comp.
• They soon learned more about the upcoming comp.
• It's one of those with video and images they'll be questioned on.
• Time for all to study!
• But, first ... Sam had a breakdown.
• Apparently the video of the HoH wall comp she won was shown. 
• She thinks JC threw the comp and the "one comp I won on my own, I didn't!"
• Oh my gosh.
• Now, I'm a Sam fan. But geez ... talk about an overreaction!
• She yelled at JC. She yelled at Tyler. Then she yelled at JC some more. Then she cried to Brett.
• Gah!
• She decided to go to bed early and hasn't been studying with any of the study groups.

Why?

Rockstar disguised as a normal human

Besties now

C'mon, Sam. Calm down.

The job was dangerous when he took it

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 1

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!

We start out with the "previously on" segment. Who writes this stuff? Hey! I was calling her Queen before the show was! Royalties, I say.

We pick things up after the nominations ceremony. Bayleigh tells us Brett is her target and Rachel is a good pawn. She thinks she will be loyal to the end with her. Rachel, though she knows she's the pawn and said okay to it, cries to us from the Diary Room. 

Now she's crying to Kaycee. She tells Kaycee that she knows Brett is Bayleigh's target. 

Fessy tells JC that it's all due to him that JC isn't on the block.

Tyler goes to talk to Bayleigh ... he wants to make sure he's not on a backdoor plan. He tells her he will do whatever she wants if he wins the veto. He denies having the power when she asks. Heh. Tyler cracks me up. He hasn't told ANYONE about his power. 

JC tells Bayleigh that Fessy is taking all the credit for not nominating him. Sure enough, JC's plan to stir up Bayleigh/Fessy problems works! He's a good little instigator. 

Bayleigh drags Fessy out of bed and tells him he screwed up telling JC that stuff. She thinks it makes it look like he (Fessy) is ordering her around. 

Then it's Rachel going to the Queen. She thinks it's her doing that Brett will go home. She's coming up with all these reasons why she's so upset. Now Bayleigh is getting irked at Rachel. Oh my gosh! Rachel brought negative energy into the room and now it's all on Queen Bayleigh!

Veto player pick time! Bayleigh picks a Sam chip. Rachel picks a JC chip. Brett gets a Tyler chip. No Houseguest Choice chips pulled this week. 

Veto comp has them waiting in separate rooms. The backyard is done up like a little city. The Goober rideshare service. They have to pave the road across town. They have to, once the streets are paved, transport the evicted BB20 hamsters (not in real life) to a party. It's basically a giant puzzle. It's a timed comp.

Heh. Sam timed out. But they did do a black and white bit of her as Godzilla terrorizing the town. JC also timed out. Rachel times out. 

Bayleigh - 14.24
Brett - 10.59
Tyler - 6.51

TYLER wins the Power of Veto! 

Both nominees want him to save them. Tyler talks to Bayleigh and she wants them to remain on the block. Bayleigh is oblivious to the fact that Tyler is the lead of the other side. Bayleigh mentions Angela as the renom. He wants to work Scottie in as the renom if he uses the veto.

Rachel cries some more to Bayleigh. Bayleigh lies to Rachel about who Tyler wants up as a replacement. Rachel tells Angela. Angela knows that can't be real. She tells Kaycee, who also doesn't believe it. Kaycee goes to Tyler who truthfully denies it. Then he talks to Angela. They all think Rachel is lying when it was actually coming from Bayleigh. Now they want to maybe use the veto on Brett and think Rachel is blowing up their games.

Ooohhh! Rachel tells Angela of Bayleigh's power. Angela's lips are sealed ... NOT. She tells Tyler. Now he's in even more of a quandary over using the veto or not.

Veto meeting time. He does NOT use the veto.

Brett and Rachel remain on the block. 

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday Night - July 31

I didn't realize Sam's ears are gauged

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

• Please. I remind you all that I do NOT report on every little thing that happens in the house nor every breath they take.
• So, don't bother calling on me for leaving something out in anonymous comments. 
• Especially in anonymous comments. 
• Yeah, I'm a bit ticked. I am having some severe health issues and I'd rather not deal with it.
• If you've noticed, I don't keep a running tab on all the various alliances that come and go.
• That out of the way, again I report that "I SAW" little of any real substance in the house over the last 24 hours.
• Maybe "YOU SAW" more than I did.
• I'm sure you'll let me know and not by hitting that donate button.
• Sorry. I'm really off my regular self today.
• And I do thank the few who have donated this year. This season, it's especially needed and appreciated.
• Anyway ... back to the house ...
• Bayleigh continues to think the vote will either be unanimous or almost unanimous for Brett to go home.
• I'm thinking he might get sent packing, but no way will it be unanimous.
• Apparently the Diary Room dropped hints to Fessy and Bayleigh that Fessy was controlling her HoH.
• Um. No. She's quite controlling enough on her own, thank you. That just doesn't make sense.
• Rachel is still antsy roaming around confirming that she still has their votes.
• BB woke the hamsters up about an hour earlier than normal today even though it's a doldrums day with nothing to do.
• Maybe they just wanted to mess with them.
• JC continues to play up to Bayleigh's side while his actual loyalty seems to be with Tyler and Company.
• He's kind of playing with fire there.
• But Fessy likes him a lot.
• Fessy likes him more than he likes Haleigh these days.
• Fessy doesn't like the attention that Brett is giving Haleigh.
• But then, apparently before the feeds started up, Haleigh had some kind of thing with Swaggy? Oh my.
• If Rachel stays this week, Tyler considers her lost to Level 6.
• Oh my gosh. Sam was talking about Rockstar telling her that she misses looking at herself naked in the mirror. Just the thought burns my eyes.
• BB let Fessy talk for a good five minutes with a blanket bundled up against his mic while with JC and Bayleigh. The first time he said something I thought it was a muffled weird DR leak or something.
• Bayleigh and Brett actually talked. He promised not to come after her if he stays. She gave him a story about sincerely killing him if he does and hinted she might be changing her mind about wanting him out.
• I think we can say "lie."
• Sam is still a wild card for both groups as far as the vote goes.
• Scottie and Bayleigh think they're carrying both Rockstar and Haleigh as neither has won anything.
• Welp, they're their people!
• Tyler still has both Scottie and Bayleigh fooled. They think he's a lone wolf and they might be able to swing him over to their side.
• BWAHAHAHA! He's the one RUNNING the other side, fools!
• Scottie and Bayleigh think Rockstar and Haleigh have no clue how close they are with Tyler.
• Snicker.
• Fessy and Haleigh talked. They're still at odds. 
• And there ya go. 
• My apologies for snapping at y'all. Back surgery complications aren't an easy thing and make me grouchy at times. 

Scottie won't lose his virginity in this place

Brett and the Queen talk

Haleigh has little to do with Fessy now

Stop obstructing your mic!

Oh geez. Cover your mouth while yawning.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - July 30

The Queen has banished all from the Queendom

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Now We Wait Again:

• Oh my. Do I even have anything to report?
• Hmm.
• Well, you know Tyler did not use the veto.
• The backyard was open and much of the day was spent funning and sunning.
• Since the outcome of the veto meeting was already known ahead by all in the house, there were no hissy fits or kerfuffles.
• Tyler and Brett had a game talk. Tyler told Brett to keep sticking to Scottie for the big frame-up plan for the votes. He said he himself will work on Angela.
• Rachel and Queen Bayleigh talked. Bayleigh counted off like seven people who she thinks will vote to keep Rachel.
• Some of those ... like Tyler ... would be wrong.
• But I'm still personally wondering if Tyler can gather the numbers.
• It would be fun if Brett were to stay just for the sake of Rockstar, Haleigh and Bayleigh's reactions.
• Although, to be honest, I don't care all that much for either Rachel or Brett. 
• Brett did do one domestically smart thing today that surprised me. JC burnt the frying pan and was actually going to throw the pan out.
• Brett told him just to leave it soaking a while.
• Who woulda thunk it? Brett knows kitchen stuff and is thrifty all at the same time!
• Other than that, it's been same old, same old.
• Now we're in a circling pattern until Thursday.

Stop smirking at me!

So bored they made their own games

JC burnt the frying pan while cooking

What are my peasants up to?

Another day of slop ...

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting - July 30

Bulletin! Bulletin!
Alert! Alert!

Had this been an actual emergency ...

I called it right. Tyler did NOT use the veto.
Rachel and Brett remain on the block.
I still don't know if Tyler & Co. will have enough votes to save Brett although they think they do.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 30

Sam, the honeybee whisperer

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

• Shortly after I posted my last update, Rachel blabbed to Angela about Bayleigh's power.
• Of course, Angela told Tyler.
• And now everybody in Level 6 knows something that only a few of Bayleigh's actual allies know.
• It doesn't do more than a heads up for Tyler.
• We know that his only way not to be on the block next week, whether he uses the veto today or not, is that he would have to win HoH.
• That would be his only safety other than using his cloud.
• Now, if I were a hamster in the house, I'd probably go for a Tyler eviction -- he's too well-liked and he wins comps. I wouldn't want to be against him at the end. Would you?
• But that's not necessarily how these hamsters think. They just might vote to keep him.
• As a show voyeur, I like him. I want him to stay. He's fun to watch and really playing the game.
• Bayleigh has said she's only giving him this week's reprieve because he lost Kaitlyn, someone real close to his heart.
• Cough.
• BUT ... Rockstar and Haleigh think they should keep Brett and Tyler around to get rid of the other girls they want gone.
• And then how would they get rid of Brett and Tyler?
• They obviously aren't thinking any kind of end game.
• A honeybee landed in Sam's hair. After she brushed it away, she put it in a glass and told Tyler all about honeybees. It then crawled on her hand when she released it. I think she got stung, although she said she didn't. The bee didn't look all that healthy the last time I saw it.
• She did leave it free to go.
• I don't think Tyler will be using the veto (although now he knows he has nothing to lose by doing so).
• They THINK they have enough votes for Brett to stay.
• Some of these players are hard to figure out. For example ... is Kaycee going to be loyal to L6 or that alliance she has with Bayleigh?
• Haleigh and Rockstar seem to be the only two really WITH Bayleigh.
• Fessy is getting so ticked off at both Haleigh and Rockstar, he could align with others. But I don't know if he would abandon Bayleigh.
• Ohh ... Rachel and Tyler talked!
• But he still would prefer Brett stay.
• He wants Brett to hang around a lot with Scottie so they can blame JC's vote on Scottie.
• All said and done, I don't think Tyler will use the veto. However, I'm not as sure as he is that they have the votes for Brett to stay.
• We'll see.  

Tyler feels creative

Scottie is SO not a sunbather

Stress of being queen getting to her?

She did it. Now Orwell is dead.

Storage room strategy talk

I'm Fessy. I'm too nice for this stuff!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 29

The man with a plan?

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

• Rachel okayed being a pawn.
• Then she didn't want to be a pawn.
• She started throwing people under that reality TV bus and making up a thing or two.
• Don't be like Rachel.
• The beginning of yet another blindside is afoot.
• Or on hand.
• Something like that.
• Bayleigh isn't doing herself any favors by threatening people to work with her.
• Many still believe Scottie is the hinky vote this week. JC is working that for all it's worth.
• The people who don't think Scottie was the vote think that Rachel did it to frame Tyler.
• Angela is upset with Rachel. She told Tyler her loyalty is to him, not Rachel. Rachel is annoying her and saying things to Bayleigh about her.
• Brett, Fessy, JC and Tyler all talked about the girls alliance.
• Sam told Kaycee that she wants to protect her and Tyler "at all costs." According to her, Angela and Scottie could be replacement nominees.
• Sam would like the final three to be herself, Kaycee and Tyler.
• Some (Angela, Tyler and Kayxee) are scheming to frame Rachel to Bayleigh just before the veto ceremony.
• They think they can get Scottie's vote because he knows Rachel is after him.
• They think they have enough votes to save Brett.
• Hmm.
• The Have Nots for this week were the ones who did the worst in the last HoH comp -- Fessy, Tyler and Scottie.
• Fessy's best line of the day while talking to Haleigh and Bayleigh -- "I have no strategy."
• Heh. Really? We couldn't tell!
• The only hitch in all this planning is that Tyler would prefer not to use the veto and stay in good graces.
• About the only thing that Rachel hasn't blabbed is Bayleigh's power. 
• No matter who gets nominated next week, unless he's HoH, Tyler is in trouble if Brett doesn't go this week.
• Bayleigh would use her power to put him on the block. 

I should be queen!

We need a pool net. I can build one!

Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon.

Big Brother 20: HoH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 29

As the show airs here, I'll be live-blogging it -- refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the discussion!

Tonight we will see the HoH comp done after the live show (and blocked to the feeds) on Thursday night as well as nominations. Feed watchers already know the results and who won the Power of Veto. I ask that no one comments on those as this post is a spoiler-free zone. I will remove spoiler comments. You can talk about them on the live feeds posts as much as you wish.

We will patiently sit through the "previously on" segment. Now we get to hear Rockstar gloat over the results of the vote. Fessy is relieved. Tyler wants to know who did the hinky vote and he wants to clear his own name. He's on a mission! Fessy is upset that Haleigh thinks it was him. JC isn't owning up to it.

JC and Tyler try to deflect the vote controversy over onto Scottie. They seem to succeed.

HoH comp time! Information Superhighway. "Perfect Timing" Sit on top of your email, from out box to in box. The goal is to get there in eight seconds. It's a sliding thing. Closest to that time wins.

Bayleigh goes first. 8.08 uh-oh!
Tyler 10.98 
Haleigh 9.50
Brett CABLE WENT OUT
BACK ON
Fessy threw it and flew it - 4 seconds and a crash
Bayleigh is in the lead
Rachel is the last one - 10.04

BAYLEIGH is the new HoH

So, now she's the "queen of the house." We hear more than once that it was all for Swaggy. @@

Tyler is acting almost lovelorn and lost because Kaitlyn left. Bayleigh is buying it. Heh. Now she wants him on her team, thinks he's a free agent now and wants his loyalty. Heh.

Good, no more queen for a bit -- we get a fun segment on The Short and Tall of it with Fessy and JC.

The one-on-one's start. Haleigh thinks that Brett and JC might be good nominees. Bayleigh says Scottie is shady, maybe him. When Bayleigh talks to Scottie he denies the hinky vote and tells her he thinks it was Rachel. She treats him roughly (verbally) but tells us she will let him slide for now because she doesn't think he is after her.

Bayleigh talks to JC. She tells him that she won't put him up if he won't target him. He promises he has her back. (Lies.) She told him that she had been considering him as a pawn because everyone likes him.  He's worried and tells Fessy he needs to talk to Bayleigh. He tells her that JC would be loyal to her if she doesn't put him up. She told Fessy that his neck will be on the line if JC doesn't buck up and follow.

She seems to be on a real power trip. Dang ... she's big on threatening! Poor Fessy! And Haleigh backs her up! Sheesh. 

Bayleigh told Rachel that Scottie was blaming the vote on her. But she doesn't want to put him up. She tells her she wants Brett to go home. Then she tells her about her power app! Silly Bayleigh! Rachel agrees to go up as a pawn if she must.

Nominations Ceremony time. Bayleigh nominates Brett, then Rachel. She says Brett is the easiest to put up, been up before, no blood. Rachel, just because we haven't talked game. All business, nothing personal.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 29

Have Not feast party at midnight

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of What Will Tyler Do?:

• Here's what I could gather on the Veto Comp held during a huge feeds block yesterday -- It was strenuous with huge puzzle pieces. Sam timed out. Brett's time beat Bayleigh's time. His time was 11 minutes something. JC timed out -- Tyler said some of the puzzle pieces were just about as big as him and, while JC is strong, it definitely wasn't a comp for him.
• Oh. And Tyler won. His time was six minutes something.
• Now EVERYBODY wants to be his buddy!
• Of course, if Tyler were to save Brett, that would throw Bayleigh's plans awry. Brett is her target.
• Rachel and Brett think he'll use it to save Brett and JC will go on the block. They also think JC has a power. So, I wouldn't bet on their thoughts!
• Tyler told them he felt he had to win it because he thought he might be backdoored -- he himself needed the safety of the veto win.
• Hmm. I don't think it was to the backdoor point yet. But others have said the only way they will get him out is a backdoor.
• Tyler told them he was planning on using it and telling Bayleigh he knew of the backdoor plan.
• Hmm.
• They decide he should save Brett and get Bayleigh to put Scottie up in his place. They think Rachel would easily stay over Scott.
• When Tyler talked to Bayleigh, she told him she had no plans to backdoor him this week -- Brett is her target.
• She thinks they (Tyler and her) can work together.
• She wants him to keep the nominations the same.
• Tyler hinted around that he's close with Scottie as per the earlier plan to put Scottie in the nominations chair.
• We know Tyler is friends with everyone, but only some of them are in his inner circle.
• Bayleigh is sure that either Tyler or Scottie have the remaining power because "nobody else in the house has actually done anything."
• Tyler downplayed his relationship with Rachel to Bayleigh. (Earlier when he talked to Rachel and Brett, the plan was for him to save Brett because Bayleigh knows he's close to Brett but has no clue about Rachel's relationship to Tyler.)
• Bayleigh thinks of Scottie as a friend and would be reluctant to put him on the block. She doesn't think Scottie would ever target her.
• They discussed how close both of them (Bayleigh and Tyler) are with Sam, but how little she confides in them.
• Their talk ended with no commitment from Tyler. 
• But Bayleigh is sure he's leaving the nominations the same.
• Meanwhile, Rockstar is pushing for Brett to go because he was mean to her.
• Rockstar is getting weirder and weirder. Now she tends to sit, smiling to herself, spinning back and forth on stools and in some kind of trance.
• Eep.
• Meanwhile, Bayleigh is telling Rachel that Tyler wanted her to put Angela on the block as a replacement nom!
• Silly Bayleigh. She has no clue how close they are.
• She told Rachel that she will put up Tyler next week if he uses the veto.
• Remember, she went and spilled the beans to Rachel about her power.
• Yikes!
• Now Tyler is worried if he uses the veto, either Sam or Angela will go on the block.
• It seems that Bayleigh's lies do have the girls doubting Tyler.
• It's beginning to look like Tyler's best choice for himself would be not to use the veto and let Brett go.
• We'll see. 

How can I get in Tyler's head?

Tyler needs to save me.

What is Tyler going to do?

Everybody wants to be best friends now.

Tyler needs to save me.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds, Power of Veto, Saturday - July 28

Waiting for the comp

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Waiting on a Comp:

• Most of the waking hours of today were blocked to the live feeds so they could do the veto comp.
• The veto players picked were Tyler, JC and Sam.
• JC would like to win to keep himself safe.
• Sam says she can't throw a comp, that's just not her.
• We know Tyler will do what's best for his own interests.
• Apparently it's quite the comp -- BB warned them to make sure they're properly hydrated for it.
• Hmm.
• Now, it's hot there, but ...! 
• So, it's all been a waiting game, first for them.
• And, now we've been waiting for over five hours for the feeds to return.
• I'm stalling this post until it does!
• The feeds are back over six hours later ... TYLER is wearing the PoV necklace.

 

The feeds finally came back
