Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Sunday - August 19

Oh noes! A house meeting?!?!

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

• Welp, Scottie and Sam's (along with Brett) late night plan to try to get Fessy to put, of all people, Haleigh on the block went into motion.
• Now, Scottie and Sam do have a point -- Scottie up against Haleigh would be the only possibility for him to stay.
• Sam started on Fessy first thing -- telling him it was the best move to free him to play his own game, how she would quit smoking for him if he did it ... and on and on. And on.
• "Pinky promise me you'll do it! Do it! Now!"
• Despite her pushing and pushing, all he told her is that he'd think about it.
• Remember, Haleigh has been trying to be friends (and thinks she's succeeding) with Tyler and Angela.
• When Fessy was talking to Tyler about how it's great Angela is on board with the four of them -- Tyler, Angela, Fessy and Haleigh -- becoming a foursome in the game (which we know is fake, but Haleigh and Fessy don't know), he mentioned the Renom Haleigh bit pitch he had, calling it crazy.
• Tyler played right into it, talking about how sketchy Scottie is.
• Meanwhile, Scottie is burning all his bridges, calling out Haleigh as Kaitlyn 2.0 and planning a big blow-up Haleigh speech.
• Kaycee affirmed some of the stuff Scottie was doing in a conversation with Fessy.
• (As did Tyler before her.)
• Scottie had no chance to stay before. Now, if mathematically possible, he'd have even less chance now.
• Fessy told Haleigh all about Scottie's plan to put her on the block as Brett's replacement.
• How could Scottie betray her like that? She was his only friend in the house!
• She cried to her new buddies -- Tyler, Kaycee and Angela.
• Scottie, knowing he's blown any chance he had, plans apologies to Haleigh, moped around looking sad and paced a lot.
• Fessy and JC talked -- if Kaycee, Angela or Tyler go on the block, only Sam might vote for Scottie to stay.
• He will NOT be putting Haleigh up.
• He told both JC and Haleigh that he's going to put Kaycee up.
• Level 6 probably would have jumped at the chance to get Haleigh out. However, Scottie out had been their plan first and they're fine with it.
• Once again, old Foutte will have lost one of their own due to their own lack of knowing how to play BB.
• Oh? The house meeting? Nah, not a Bayleigh-type scream-off. Have Nots have returned after a hiatus. Fessy chose JC, Sam and Tyler.  

Pinky promise me, Fessy. Do it!

Yeah, Scottie's always been sketch

Haleigh cries to her "allies."

Scottie paces all alone

Big Brother 20: HoH Comp Finish, Nominations Show Blog Party - August 19

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 the show posts, like this one, are spoiler-free zones. While many already know the PoV winner and more, it has not played out on the show. Feel free to post spoiler comments on any of the live feeds posts, but not here ... also please don't ask for spoilers information in this post. Thank you!

Previously on .... blah-blah. 

Finally ... to the actual start of the show. Heh. Fessy in the DR complaining it's the fifth time he's been on the wrong side of the vote. Now we're getting everyone telling us how much they need to win the HoH -- the slip and slide. Fessy is gliding along. JC decides to go for the easier money option. Sam is about the only one not falling. They're making this look longer and funnier than it did in the little we saw on the live feeds.

FESSY wins the HoH! 

Scottie is confident that Fessy will keep him safe. Tyler is thinking this just might be the week that Level 6's luck runs out. 

Fessy goes on about always being left in the dark. Tyler, while worried for his alliance, feels safe because of his cloud power app.  JC feels safe, Brett is a bit worried because Fessy is jealous about him with Haleigh. Haleigh seems to think she can make Fessy's decisions for him. She thinks they need to keep Scottie because he's the one who voted Kaycee out. 

Meanwhile, JC and friends came up with the plan to frame Scottie and claim Brett was to vote to oust Kaycee.

Fessy doesn't want to put Tyler on the block. Haleigh doesn't want him to put Scottie on the block. Haleigh also thought that Tyler will work with them, but Scottie is loyal to them. Hmm. 

JC works on Fessy with the Scottie voted out Rockstar falsehood. Now JC is telling Kaycee and Angela the plan.

HoH Room Reveal. Same overdone thrills and chills. He tears up at the letter from his parents. Aw, so touching. He asks who voted to evict Kaycee, Scottie raises his hand. Then Brett claims it was himself. The plot thickens. Kaycee even playing along, claiming she's always been closer to Scottie than with Brett.

JC is setting things up about making Scottie the target even more -- going to make Fessy jealous. Haleigh tells us she and Scottie are only friends. JC is making it to be a lot more than that! Fessy already has been jealous of Scottie with Haleigh, this adds fuel to it.

Haleigh tries to convince Fessy that she can't afford to lose Scottie, one of the only people who is on her side. That's really not the way to get him to not put Scottie on the block! 

Funny Sam teaching JC southern expressions.

Haleigh advises Scottie to go talk to Fessy although he thinks it will be futile. He ends up going to plead his case about the vote. He's saying that Brett and Kaycee are working together. Fessy has never seen them together. Fessy doesn't believe him.

Haleigh tries talking to Fessy, telling him she hopes he's not just buying what JC says and that she and Scottie are only friends. Fessy thinks that Scottie talks game with her, but not him. He does his little walks like a duck bit that he just did earlier in the DR. Haleigh is getting irked that Fessy is even thinking of putting an alliance member up on the block.

Time for the nominations ceremony --
Fessy nominates Brett, then Scottie. He says it's because both said they voted to keep Rockstar and somebody's lying.

Fessy thinks he made a big move. Brett laughs at us from the DR room because as long as he's not against a Level 6, he has the votes. Scottie is incredulous that Fessy would put an ally on the block. JC is snickering because it all went down as he planned.  

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday - August 19

Scottie! You stacked the towels too high!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Clean It Up:

• Brett had a new and interesting strategy for winning the veto.
• And, it worked.
• Since the veto winner is not who finds the most vetoes in the Hide and Go, but the one whose veto card remains hidden the longest, he didn't even look for vetoes.
• He kept checking his own, hidden in the Have Not room, and barricading it with mattresses.
• At one point he even tried to barricade the door with bed frames, but he says BB yelled at him not to do so.
• Sam was taken almost catatonic over the mess.
• She kept saying it was the waste of the food that bothered her.
• I think it was the destruction on the whole.
• Sam did not participate in the clean-up. She only sorted and folded her own stuff and put it back away neatly.
• JC was livid. Apparently his clothes were stored in the hallway and someone pulled them out and poured chocolate milk all over them. He has nothing to wear.
• It turned out to be Scottie -- he admitted to being the one to throw all the liquids -- chocolate milk and vegetable oil -- all over, thinking people will slip or avoid it. He also is the one responsible for breaking glass, although that was an accident. Fessy the Follower, saw the mess and dumped sugar all over.
• Scottie, though, spent forever on his hands and knees scouring the floors with a sponge cleaning the mess.
• Everybody cleaned except for Sam, JC and Fessy.
• Oh, wait. After JC called him out and said he was a participant in the mess, he should be cleaning, Fessy went downstairs.
• He was under the impression that since he's King ... er, HoH, he didn't have to help.
• He flipped a mop a few times and stood around a lot.
• I guess his Mom has always cleaned up after him and he only knows how to clean his own body. He spent an hour preparing himself on live show day.
• @@
• Kaycee cleaned and worked as hard as anyone else (but Scottie) even though she didn't play for the veto.
• Haleigh worked hard. But I cringed when she kept rinsing and draining the mop in the kitchen sink. Blech! They have to have something in there to act as a bucket!
• But she did get mop water on Fessy's cup. Heh.
• Oh ... and the ZingBot did indeed come before the comp!
• I'm not a huge ZingBot fan -- I really don't care for personal insults.
• Of course, the ZingBot focused on Sam's sanity, or the lack there of. Umm ... I think I would go more after her crafts or something. That was kind of too mean, methinks.
• Sam was upset. She went on about it not being a real robot, but someone in a costume. At least when she was a robot, she was a robot.
• So, who will go up to replace Brett when he takes himself off the block?
• JC knows he's safe and got Fessy to promise not to put Sam up. He thinks Sam is too fragile right now and that would push her over the edge.
• Sam, not knowing that JC had secured her safety, went to Fessy and asked not to be put up as a renom with no chance to play for veto. He agreed he wouldn't put her up.
• (Later on, Sam told Scottie that Fessy might put her up as a mercy kill because she had asked to go home so many times.)
• Oh, she can indeed lie!
• Fessy told Haleigh he does not want to and won't put up Tyler.
• Now, Haleigh has been working on bonding with Tyler, Angela and Kaycee.
• Fessy has spent time sleeping and admiring himself in the HoH room.
• It's boiling down to Kaycee or Angela against Scottie.
• Fessy wants to tell whichever he chooses ahead of time that she is a pawn and Scottie is the target.
• He wants all to go smoothly during his HoH.
• He wanted noms to remain the same and Scottie to get evicted.
• Of course, that plays right into the Level 6/4 plans.
• Now Sam is bonding with Scottie.
• Hmm. She tends to drift towards each likely evicted each week. Bayleigh, Rockstar, now Scottie. Jury management? Feeling sorry for them? Hmmm.
• I don't think it's so much a big game plan. I think it might be more that she feels better when she makes other people feel worthy. She's shown that she's quite insecure herself and one thing (other than crafts) that makes her self-esteem better is helping others feel better.
• Sam wants Scottie to push Fessy to put Haleigh on the block.
• Well. Um. I can't see that happening.
• We'll have to see how Monday goes. 

Proud of his win

Let them clean it up, I'm not doing it.

Our clothes are all mixed together

Why should I help? I'm HoH.

They ruined everything. They wasted food.

Scottie got down on hands and knees

Fessy cleaned his drink cup

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Saturday, PoV - August 18

Something is horribly wrong

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Messy Fessy and Friends:

• The big news of later last night was that Sam had to leave to be medically treated for anaphylactic shock.
• She had no clue what was happening as she's always prided herself on not ever being allergic to anything.
• Hemp seeds.
• It was hemp seeds in the tuna dish they had prepared.
• She returned, as did the live feeds, and all was just hunky-dory with her once again.
• Fessy has repeated (again and again) that he loves everyone in the house and didn't want to really put anyone on the block. He only chose Brett and Scottie because both claimed to be the vote to keep Rockstar, so one was lying.
• In other words, he put one totally innocent hamster on the block.
• And, that would be Scottie.
• But the Scottie Villainization Plan has been in full effect. Scottie is the target.
• Fessy continued to pose a lot for the mirrors/cameras in the HoH room.
• @@
• Haleigh more than Fessy has been working on relationships in the house -- mixing and mingling with Tyler, Angela and Kaycee.
• That's nice.
• But, only winning comps (or Fessy winning them) will keep her in the house longer than them.
• Kaycee thinks the veto will be the Hide and Go Veto -- the one where they hide Veto chips/cards with their names on them, tear apart the house looking for them and the one whose veto is not found (or found last) wins the Power of Veto.
• We already know for sure that ZingBot will be there because Julie said so.
• Internet rumor also puts it at Hide and Go.
• It will either put Sam over the edge or keep her really busy tidying the house.
• Which will it be?
• Haleigh, Tyler and Angela will be playing for veto along with Brett, Scottie and Fessy.
• They're bargaining on the five to one odds against Scottie.
• But, I don't know. Scottie can do well at times.
• Kaycee told Angela and Tyler that they should tell each other where their vetoes are hidden so they don't knock each other out of the comp.
• Angela already has a plan to hide hers in ice cream. We'll see if she can do that.
• Since nothing really earth-shattering has been happening today, I'm just kind of waiting out for the feeds to return from the veto comp.
• It's a long wait.
• But I do it all for you.
• I did get to see the dancing punishment on the season with the Brigade. That was fun to relive. Miss that Meow. Wonder what Enzo's up to these days?
• I actually prefer the old feeds blocks with the loops of the theme song. I could set it on low, do other things around the house and when I heard voices, I would know the feeds had returned.
• Now the big hint is background music to the voices and it's not as clear.
• Waiting ... waiting. Now we're to season 8 and Evel Dick/Jen wars. So many have tried to emulate him since.
• Waiting, waiting ...  
• Wah. Wah. I'm seeing Wahmber. Call me a wahmbulance!
• They're rerunning all the OTEV comps on the feeds.
• We're at about 5 1/2 hours blocked.
• Waiting ...
• Six hours down now at 8:46pm ET.
• 9:00pm ET -- feeds return.
• BRETT won the Power of Veto.
• Bye-bye, Scottie. But who will be on the block against him?
• Hmm. 

Not really playing chess

Kissy kissy with Fessy

Orwell sees all, judges all

Can't chew fingernails with busy hands

Brett won the Power of Veto

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds, Nominations Friday - August 17

Hungry hamsters

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Not Too Cool To Fool:

• Um. It's been an odd day.
• Haleigh told Fessy that she needs to make friends even though she'd love to hide in the HoH room all week.
• He sees nothing wrong with hiding and the others can come up and visit.
• Nope -- Tyler and Angela won't come up here! -- according to Haleigh.
• So ... she wants to make nice with them? Yep!
• Angela had told her that she knows she lost her best friend when Rockstar went. If she ever needs someone to hang with or talk to ...
• Kaycee apologized to her for her outburst when nominated.
• Oh, boy! Let's all be FRIENDS!
• Heh. 
• Then there's Sam.
• I have no clue what's going on with her.
• We know she has a longstanding final two deal with Tyler.
• She might as well have one with JC, too.
• So, she goes after Brett.
• Sam thinks the nominations will probably be Scottie and Angela.
• She told Brett she knows he's all alone in the game, same with her. Rockstar had been her Plan A, now he's her Plan B.
• Brett eats it up, saying he's been alone all along, but didn't want to bother her. He's worried he'll go on the block!
• They agree it's to the end. They will confide in each other honestly, observe and report.
• Then JC walked in.
• So, Sam told him about all her and Brett.
• She declared that Brett would always be second to JC.
• Huh?
• She also is irked that people are making the Have Not room a meeting space when she wanted to make it her personal space. She should know by now there is no personal space in BB!
• Sam confuses me.
• JC is still doing the Scottie frame.
• Even Kaycee got into it, telling Fessy and Haleigh that she thinks it was Brett who voted her out because she's always been close to Scottie.
• Fessy still has the "always on the wrong side of the vote" bug up his butt.
• Fessy said he won't send Tyler home -- it's the 6th anniversary of his father's death.
• He made a deal with both Angela and Tyler that neither would use the veto if they won it.
• Both Brett and Scottie denied being the one who flipped the vote.
• With all the talk about Sketchy Scottie, Haleigh and Fessy think he's most likely the culprit.
• After all, Brett wouldn't lie and Scottie has flipped votes before.
• Fessy wants Scottie and Brett on the block.
• Haleigh thinks ... what if Scottie wins the veto?
• Hmm.
• Scottie was the closest to winning HoH next to Fessy on Thursday.  
• JC even pushed a bit for backdoor Scottie.
• JC is still working it. 
• He pointed out to Fessy that his back was sore before the HoH comp and more sore now.
• But all are complaining of aches and pains.
• They'd be calling ambulances if they had had a real slip and slide comp!
• Of course, if Scottie does go up and doesn't win veto, Fessy will (for the first time in the game) be on the right side of the vote!
• That would be like winning the whole shebang! 
• The feeds were down for nominations.
• They're back now.
• Scottie and Brett's photos are on the Nomination Wall.
• Scottie is balking at whatever Fessy said in the ceremony about hinky votes. 
• He's already campaigning. 

What the heck is Sam up to?

Sure, Sam, I'll be in your alliance.

JC, Brett is my final two with me.

Chewing nails and making friends

Let's stay up here all week!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - August 17

Who wants to see my HoH room?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Sucky Slip and Slides:

• Oh, I'm not complaining about the winner -- Fessy looked amazing in his effort and deserved the win.
• I'm just saying that, compared to past years, this was a walk in the park and the easiest slip and slide ever.
• You could tell by how long it took. We had it on the feeds for less than ten minutes after the feeds came up!
• Shorter tracks, lesser incline, smaller containers to fill, larger cups to bring it and seemingly less slippery than past years.
• They're going to need a lot of filler for the show now.
• Now that I have that grouching over ...
• Sam continues to be strange. She didn't weep or curb-stomp anyone.
• But she also kept her comp outfit on, had a talk with Brett about being honest with her from now on, and fussed about having to make an appearance at the HoH reveal.
• She also didn't want to shower.
• Um. Weird. Everyone else jumped to get the goo off (although there wasn't much falling that I saw other than JC).
• She didn't know if she wanted to take a cold shower or hot shower. Mind you, she had greasy goo on!
• She was the only one in HoH reveal with the comp outfit on, stayed a few minutes to hear his letter (her favorite part) and then left. Everybody else stayed for a while.
• JC is totally in Fessy's ear.
• Fessy is angry that he's always on the wrong side of the vote and no one lets him in on things.
• Welp, he had NO vote this week.
• But, yeah. He would have been on the wrong side of it.
• JC is already pushing the Brett voted for Rockstar to stay and Scottie didn't.
• JC's own vote? JC is saying he changed last minute because Rockstar threatened to put him on the block.
• Haleigh is deadset that Tyler and Angela need to be nominated.
• JC is pushing a Scottie/Brett noms knowing that Haleigh would vote out Scottie over Brett if it came to that.
• And, of course, everyone else would, too.
• Hey, Fessy and Haleigh would be on the right side of the vote!
• Tyler is safe although if he is in danger, he might have to use his Cloud power.
• In the end, the plan seems to be a Kaycee/Brett nomination with a backdoor Scottie plan.
• That, of course, is subject to change.
• Wait! It changed! Now it's Brett/Scottie!
• But now Scottie is the target.
• Oh my.
• JC finagled a deal with Fessy/Haleigh that Tyler is safe this week and, if he wins the veto, he won't change the nominations.
• Haleigh doesn't want Tyler coming after them.
• Well, he won't this week ... especially if they do his wishes (which would be Scottie out before Brett).
• Haleigh and Fessy think Tyler and Scottie are best buds.
• But, like so many things, they're wrong about that.
• BB gave the hamsters glow sticks and fun was had by all.
• Well, maybe not Sam. She was in bed asleep.
• I think, when the noms come down, it will indeed be Brett and Scottie.  

Fessy's advisory committee - JC and Haleigh

We're busy. Go away, Scottie.

This will make good TV. Um, nah.

Sure, he voted for Rockstar to stay.

Indeed an odd one, but no murders.

Big Brother 20: HoH Endurance Comp Updates - August 16

Once the live feeds return, this post will be regularly updated with screen caps and standings. Oh, and, of course, the eventual winner. 

10:04pm ET - Feeds still not up 
10:08pm ET - Audio, but fish cam 

10:09pm ET

 Haleigh is actually doing well cheering everyone on ... including Angela. Possibly Angela a bit less, but ...!

Fessy in the lead at 10:14pm ET

10:18pm ET FESSY WINS HOH!
 

If someone won the money, they did it before the feeds came back. I don't think anyone was going for it. When Fessy won HOH, JC asked if they keep going or is it over. Then the feeds cut out.

At 10:46pm ET, feeds returned. JC WAS trying for the money. No one got that, it seems.

Hamster watchers ready?

Previously on ... yada, yada, yada ... 

Ohhh, Julie's shoulders are showing -- white top, black slacks and SHOULDERS!

Kaycee is confident her Hacker vote take and her Level 6 alliance will keep her in the game. She will act sad, though. Rockstar is sad. 

Rockstar isn't only sad, she's mad. She thinks she has the votes. Tyler tries to apologize a bit to her, telling her it's Bayleigh. She kicks Tyler out of the room so she can talk to Kaycee alone. She tells Kaycee that Angela is so entitled and it wasn't meant for Kaycee to go home.

Kaycee talks alone to Angela and thinks it will be five to one with her staying. 

Tyler tries to bond once again with Sam. She asks if he's choosing Angela over her. Jealousy. Ouch. Tyler tells us he wants to keep his deals until he HAS to decide. He tells Sam he is still loyal to her. Sam tells us she just has to trust he's doing the best for the both of them.

The sink! WOOT! I'm glad they showed Fessy sit on the HoH vanity and thus yank it off the wall. And it shows Fessy get his smooch and possible under the cover make-out session with Haleigh. Gah.

Rockstar works on Brett. Brett is so good talking about secret alliances. Too bad Rockstar isn't in his. Although she thinks he is! Brett tells us he's going to build up all of her hopes and dreams, then take them away from her. He reports back to Level 6. 

Haleigh and Rockstar reach out to Brett for Rockstar's eviction speech. Heh.

Rockstar thinks her group is interesting, the other side isn't evil, but they're boring. Fessy tells her she's unevictable.

Tyler's family segment is next. His family is quite "normal" from Ohio. He was a bowling prodigy kind of kid. As we know, he lost his father when he was 17. His town is cheering him on. 

To the living room for the eviction -- All are dressed in outfits for the HoH comp.

Kaycee -- thanks the two failed girls alliances, wouldn't be in this position without you gals, appreciate if you keep this little peanut in the house
Rockstar -- Extended shout-outs, Sam never excluded, calls out Angela, Tyler and Kaycee. You keep Kaycee, you empower Angela and Tyler. Going on about the trio. 

The BB Hacker hacks Fessy's vote.

The live votes to evict are:
Angela - Rockstar
JC - Rockstar
Sam - Rockstar
Scottie - Kaycee (calls Julie "Mrs. Chen)
Brett - Rockstar
Tyler - Rockstar

Kaycee got the numbers right -- five votes to evict Rockstar, only one for her.
Into commercial. 

Rockstar seemed shocked at the news, but hugs and manners shined through. She just called out for the rest to "kill it!" Julie can't say much because of the jury. Rockstar thinks Sam was her one vote. When Julie asked her who betrayed her. She said whoever came up with the Hacker. Her interview is pretty good!

Angela and Brett left bad messages. Angela had nothing to lose because she knows how Rockstar feels about her. But, Brett? He announced their divorce and how he played her. As Julie said, "Doesn't he realize you're a jury member?" Rockstar, called on her lack of reading people when she always felt she could, shed a few tears at that point. 

HoH comp -- Glow and Flow slip and slide. Retrieving "glow" and filling glowstick. $5000 to the first to fill their small bowl, first to fill large bowl wins HoH. 

Whoa! Fessy looks like he's doing the best! Poor JC. We'll see if Fessy can keep up the momentum. 

Julie warns us -- Zingbot returns!

You can follow the HoH comp on the live feeds with me over on this post.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Wednesday into Thursday - August 15/16

Not playing chess

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

• I thought they had all spoken their cases.
• I thought all of the retells and what ifs might take a day off.
• Nope!
• Kaycee held one on one meetings with her fellow hamsters.
• Obviously, with her own Level 6/4 people it was not campaigning. She knows they have her back.
• With the others? They don't really matter.
• Kaycee confirmed that she met in the DR and used her Hacker vote cancellation on Fessy's vote.
• That won't come to any surprise to anyone, including Fessy and Haleigh.
• JC, who has told Tyler and Kaycee that he will be voting for Kaycee to stay, still refuses to discuss his vote with Fessy and company.
• Fessy did NOT break anything lately.
• Fessy is so worried about being on "the wrong side of the vote" yet figures his vote will be cancelled by the Hacker.
• He should stop trying so hard with JC.
• Haleigh is getting increasingly worried that things won't turn out well for her.
• She's right to worry.
• Rockstar, on the other hand, is going between confident that she has the votes, will go on to win HoH and nominate Tyler and Angela and then worrying that she's going to be evicted.
• Thankfully her mood swings aren't quite Sammish.
• What about Sam?
• Well, she and Tyler talked. Of course, she loves everybody and would prefer everyone stay. But that's not how the game works! Tyler told her how he had been being set up by Haleigh for the backdoor plan this week and, had he not won the veto, she would have put him on the block. He can't vote out Haleigh, but has to vote Rockstar (and is sure everyone knows that's what he'll do) because she supports Haleigh. Sam ended up saying she's not going to tell anyone anything, but for Tyler to confirm what he wants her to do before the eviction and she'll do it.
• Haleigh and Fessy still think they have Fessy, Brett, Scottie, Sam and MAYBE JC. As long as they have three votes to keep Rockstar, Haleigh as HOH would vote the tiebreaker.
• We folks spying on the hamsters know that they only have Fessy and Scottie and Fessy's vote will be cancelled.
• Heck, Scottie might even flip. Sometimes it's hard to tell with him.
• JC told Tyler and Angela that they should set up Scottie as the fall guy for Brett's vote.
• They nixed that. After all, when Scottie came aboard with them before he was crying (real tears) about always being blamed for stuff from the Bayleigh/Haleigh camp.
• Yet, I did see JC planting little bits of seeds of doubt about Scottie with Rockstar and the others on and off.
• There was indeed lots of game talk yesterday and last night.
• But it's like the broken record (pardon the expression, any young 'uns on board) that we've been hearing for the last few days.
• Rockstar did tell the story of her name, though. When BB called her, they said there was another Angela (her own preferred name), so they suggested Angie. In her actual life, she's often referred to as Angela Rockstar. Producers picked up on that and decided instead of calling her Angie which might be confusing, they'd go with Rockstar.
• Now, isn't this all exciting?
• Tonight should be good TV!  

Angry exchange? Nah.

Will we see this expression tonight?

JC attempting logic on Fessy

When I'm HoH, Tyler and Angela on the block!

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto SHow Blog Party - August 15

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

Tonight's veto comp should be very entertaining! Grab your adult beverages and settle in a comfy chair ... 

Tyler has a pep talk trying to cheer up Sad Sam. She doesn't think he's been totally sincere with him. He likes her, wants things to be okay, but ... 

Tyler and Haleigh discuss the Hacker. Tyler tells her it's not him. She thinks it was Kaycee. Haleigh, of course, isn't going to tell Tyler that he's the backdoor target. She tells him he's not her target and Angela is. 

Rockstar thinks that Kaycee is shunning her and that she won the Hacker. Kaycee denies it and they bark at each other. Then Rockstar goes on a tangent about how unfair it is that she's on the block again.

Veto Player Pick time ... the Hacker chooses Tyler to play veto.Haleigh randomly pulled Rockstar, so Rockstar chooses Fessy as her player. Angela picks Kaycee. 

The Veto Comp --
The yard is done up woodsy and watery and OTEV is a big skunk. They have on antler hats. Poor OTEV has a cold and needs medicine. They have to find the right two previous hamster "medicines" on cards and return them to him.

Bring the medicine of the evicted houseguests who have been HoH. -- Kailynol with 200 mg of Bayleigh. Kaycee was right, but last up -- she's out.

OTEV Skunk even sprays them!

Evicted houseguests by a male HoH. -- Winston PM with Vitamin Steve -- Angela is eliminated, last up there.

Evicted houseguests who became a replacement in a veto ceremony. Nayleigh Gels with Extra Swaggy. Fessy last up, eliminated.

Last two houseguests evicted before jury. Whoa ... Rockstar gives Tyler an (accidental) heads up, she really was NOT thinking, his answer was wrong, he runs back. Tyler gets back first before Haleigh and Rockstar tells him he better save her, they can work with him. Racheltussin with Kaitlyn Oil. Haleigh out, last one up.

Houseguess evicted with eight or more votes. Rockstar runs up with an answer first. Jumping for joy and so are Haleigh and Fessy! Tyler finally comes up with an answer. Hey, Rockstar brought the Kaitlynol one! Tyler brought Swaggy with Kaitlyn oil. Rockstar out.

Tyler won the Power of Veto.
Rockstar cries. 

Rockstar tells Tyler not to forget it would have been her and Haleigh and he only won because of her giving him the right answer. In a DR Fessy compares his alliance to the Bad News Bears. 

Haleigh considers the renom possibilities. Fessy tells her Rockstar is a liability -- they don't want to put JC up and possibly lose him. He hinted Scottie. 

Tyler calls all inside for the veto meeting. Tyler himself gives a speech. Haleigh wanted him to not use the veto, but she was the Hacker last week, put him up on the block and he could have gone home. He saves Angela. Haleigh puts Kaycee back up on the block. Sam cries, but Kaycee doesn't.

Rockstar, in a DR, calls Angela a pretty, privileged Princess and vows she won't give up.
  

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday - August 15

If I snuggle, he'll think I like him

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of A Sink is NOT a Chair:

• It wasn't a big evening for game talk outside of "when I get HoH" type conversations from people unlikely to win HoH.
• Right after my last report, JC coached Sam a bit on not telling everyone her vote after the eviction like she did last week when she was the sole vote to keep Bayleigh.
• He told her to keep her vote decisions quiet before and after the vote because the numbers are dwindling and people are looking for the next target.
• After he gave her all his advice, he told her that he'll let her know his vote just before eviction. I guess he's trying to let her know the way most will be voting.
• However, it seems she's likely to vote that way anyway.
• The other big thing of the night is that Fessy sat on the vanity in the HoH bathroom. When he put his feet up on the nearby tub and his full weight was on it, it ripped right off the wall.
• He tried saying he just leaned on it.
• Roll the tape, please.
• Heh.
• He tried to put it back together but BB yelled at him "Stop it!"
• Sam seemed to go to bed early and Rockstar was also missing most of the time, probably sleeping.
• Brett, Scottie and Fessy hung out a bit in the hot tub.
• Brett and Scottie tried to tell Fessy how the final three and the final HoH work as far as three-part HoH over days, last part live in the finale.
• Fessy seemed confused.
• What else is new?
• Since the yard will be shut down for the HoH comp set-up today, the die hard yard fans stayed up into the night playing pool, playing corn hole and just enjoying themselves.
• That's boring to watch!
• In a random note bit -- The only one this year even mentioning breast implants has been JC, none of the women. That's a big change from previous years! None of the women left except perhaps Rockstar (who had a child months ago) is particularly well-endowed in that part of their anatomy and they're fine with it (as they should be). JC only mentioned it because he thinks his own chest looks too flat ... I believe he was joking.
• Fessy can make his chest wiggle.
• I can't do that.
• I doubt we'll see much game action through the day today.
• As voyeurs, it will be boring.
• But tonight's OTEV veto comp show should be extremely entertaining! 

Oh noes!!! There goes the sink!

This is why we can't have nice things
