Big Brother 20: Sunday Show Blog Party - July 1

Since the schedule is out of whack right now, I'm not sure what all we can expect from tonight's episode. If they show the PoV, what will they show on Wednesday? Hmm.

Anyway ... whatever they show, I'll be live-blogging it as it airs. Refresh the blog to get the latest! And, of course, the real party is in the comments -- I hope to see you there! 

Expect the expected "previously on Big Brother ..." 

Steve is going to show them being on the block doesn't faze him at all. Meanwhile, Sam is a sad little robot. And, Tyler is now crying to Steve and Kaycee. He tells us it's an act. Steve seems to fall for it. 

SamBot is in the storage room and wants the others to come talk to her one at a time. It's rough being a Bot. Tyler doesn't want to see her go home this week. Kaitlyn has no sympathy and tells SamBot to go win the veto. Tyler was there and not into SamBot's cursing and upset reaction to Kaitlyn.

Scottie and Steve talk. Steve tells Scottie he thinks he's a beast. He tells us that Scottie's social game is lacking. He thinks his own social game is the bomb. Steve wants to be in an alliance with him. Oh my. Scottie likes Steve, too! A platonic bromance/alliance is starting!

Swags is smitten with Bayleigh and they're already cuddly. 

Oh, geez. Kaycee thinks her pinwheel punishment is so bad because she misses being with people when she's stuck in a room. Would she prefer to be a robot? 

The first numbers alliance of the season is named -- Level 6. Winston, Tyler, Kaycee, Brett, Angela and Rachel. They've already got intel that Angela's name is being thrown around as a target by Swags and Co.

I'm beginning to think this episode will be all filler segments. Sigh.

Swags isn't too pleased he's falling into a showmance. He didn't want that.

We're talking fluff filler even. 

I might just go bonkers. Kaitlyn was looking for guidance and she thinks her deceased relative showed up as a bird in the yard.

Poor SamBot. She turns back into herself but now has doubt about herself as a person. She feels like an outsider and that's not how she is in life. She might be sadder as a human than she is as a robot. 

Slop has arrived! Time for some Have Nots! Tyler must choose the first four Have Nots. He asks for volunteers. Kaitlyn, Brett, Winston and Scottie volunteer. The beds are satellite dishes. Poor little volunteers. 

Swags and Fessy want to bring in Brett and Winston to their side as a solid four to powerhouse the whole thing. Winston deliberately avoids them. Brett, on the other hand, thinks a bit friendlier approach in case the power shifts.

Tyler is thinking he might want to put up Swaggy's closest ally (that's not already safe) -- Bayleigh. 

Fessy, Swags, Rockstar, Haleigh and Bayleigh come up with an alliance name (suggested by Kaitlyn). Fotay -- Five of us together till the end.

BB App Store is open -- highest trending gets a Power App, lowest gets a Crap App. They can only get one per game -- sort of like the Temptation thing.  

Ohhh ... Fessy gets the Crap App as the Least Trending Houseguest. He gets to make a selection from several choices. He goes with Hamazon thinking at least it will be food. He finds out he has to eat ham every delivery and hopes it's fake ham. 

Sam gets the Power App! She has fewer power apps than the punishment one. She picks Bonus Life. She or houseguest of her choosing can return to house within the first four evictions.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Overnight into Sunday - July 1

Much better than being a robot!

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

• Whatever tantrum (?) Sam threw during the PoV comp still has the house abuzz. It certainly doesn't sound like something I would have expected from her. I guess the other hamsters are just as shocked.
• This was not the time to do that, Sam!
• There was also a Sam/Kaitlyn kerfuffle regarding Sam's lack of respect for Kaitlyn's esteemed career.
• Yeah, she's a child Life Coach .... bwahahaha! She doesn't want to know what I think of her!
• Rachel, who wants Sam to remain in the house, told Sam she should apologize to Kaitlyn.
• So, SamBot went to Kaitlyn and had a long talk.
• Overall, Kaitlyn didn't say she wants Sam to stay, but they should get along better.
• Other than saying he won't use the veto, only Fessy seems to know for sure whether he will or won't.
• I think he might be worried that, if he does use it, one of his and Swaggy's minions would go on the block.
• He'd rather Steve stay, Sam go.
• He told Steve that he would take him (Steve) down only if Tyler agreed to put Winston up as a replacement.
• In other words, it ain't gonna happen.
• Brett and Winston think they might be able to get Haleigh and Kaitlyn over to their side. 
• I doubt that. Kaitlyn has bonded with Fessy. Oh, not a showmance. He claims he clicked with her and she's his first ever female friend. 
• Oh my. 
• Winston is still the Level Six anti-Sam holdout.
• Scottie is still confusing people. They don't know quite what to make of him. That's probably good for him.
• JC thinks he's in with Winston and company and the other side is always spying on him.
• In reality, most think JC isn't a real part of either side. 
• But, he does seem to want Sam to stay.
• Heh. Rockstar thinks Winston is the new Dr. Will. Not by a long shot! (Nor is she a Rockstar ... delusions of grandeur.)
• Rockstar and Haleigh are already distrustful of Kaitlyn. Gotta love early large alliances!
• JC slept in the HoH room with Tyler. No. No bromance going on. He just wanted a good night's sleep.
• And, of course, it doesn't hurt to work himself more in with Tyler.
• Fessy got another middle of the night Hamazon delivery.
• As I post this, the East Coast Boys -- Steve and Swaggy -- are the only ones up for the day.
• Tonight is their BB prom. Oh, joy. 

No canoodling going on here!

Will probably be targeted before long.

Momentarily subdued Rockstar.

Girl talk

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening - June 30

Foosball is a high tech thing?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wayward Girls and Boys:

• Here's a hint -- the more screencaps I have in an update, the more boring the day was.
• It's doldrums time, that eternity between comps and action.
• They got the backyard today. Thus, a lot of exercising and lazing about.
• They played beauty salon.
• They played Jenga.
• They played foosball.
• They played pool.
• At least they didn't play chess.
• They planned a BB prom.
• Sam is hoping not to be SamBot for the prom. 
• There had been a long feeds block with previous BB. Maybe BB decided they needed a prom.
• Well, this crowd is certainly young enough. Grodner would get high school kids in if she could. @@
• Haleigh seems to have picked up some kind of bug. It will be no bueno if the entire house catches it.
• I think of Kaitlyn and Fessy as the Odd Couple.
• Angela thinks that Scottie is Swaggy's little rat.
• Nah, he's just his hamster!
• Kaycee and Angela had a long discussion about whether Swags is bisexual or not.
• Who cares?
• It sounds like some are taking to heart whatever Sam did yesterday (cursing out production during the comp?) and are waffling on keeping her.
• Oh, wait. Now they want to keep her again.
• Sheesh. How many more times will they change their minds?
• Both Swags and Fessy are full of themselves and think they're running the house.
• Ha. It's too early in the season for that!
• It's interesting that Fessy claims he saw Hayleigh's Instagram before the season. He wanted to showmance her, but finds he's vying with Tyler for her attention.
• Kaitlyn fussed about slop to everyone she could, including us.
• That's all for now!

Why did I sign up for this? Am I nuts?

Jenga is always a thrill a minute.

At least Rachel acknowledges SamBot.

Jealous of Kaycee's weight-lifting?

I got this, dude!

I love Star Trek!

Big Brother 20: Blog Pool Match Ups!

Yes, the random match-ups are in! Apologies go out to many of you -- it seems like we have some rather slim pickings this season.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Saturday Morn - June 30

A new punishment?

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

• As you know from my late bulletin, Fessy won the Power of Veto.
• For someone who's supposedly a fan of the show, he should realize you don't wear that necklace for hours -- it tends to rub it in to others that they did NOT win the PoV.
• Oh. And, just so you know -- the green garb in the leading off screen cap is not a punishment.
• They say it's cold in the house this morning.
• After the comp last night I barely recognized Steve without his hair greased and slicked back. He looked ten years younger.
• As for the comp -- blocked to the live feeds -- it was apparently very rough on those poor little hamsters and the win came down to a ball. I mean, we're talking snakes (nothing new in the BB house), some kind of electrical shocks. ice baths (not combined with the electrical shocks I hope), paintball guns and more.
• Sam told Tyler that she's going home. Tyler told her she isn't. But it does make me wonder more about whether she was bluffing about possibly having a power to stay.
• I'd keep my fingers crossed here but it makes it hard to type.
• Bayleigh told Swags that America should vote her for a power because she cried all over the place yesterday. 
• Yeah, let's vote to call her a wahmbulance!
• Rachel, Kaycee and Angela want to give Sam a sympathy vote. They also think that JC has a power of two votes.
• I guess no will will really know until they know.
• If Sam does have a power, her bluffing is professional -- she cried a lot about going home.
• Hmm.
• Rumors are it that JC will vote for Sam to stay. If he has a power of multiple votes ...?
• Oh, the suspense!
• Rachel doesn't like Rockstar.
• I don't care that much for either of them.
• So, how's them apples?
• But ... Rachel seems to want Sam to stay. So, I will tolerate her.
• Apparently Little Miss Sam was very potty-mouthed during the comp.
• Oh, my.
• The newest alliance name is Level Six -- Tyler, Rachel, Kaycee, Brett, Winston and Angela. Handshake and all.
• Fessy has said he won't use the veto.
• Level Six wants to keep Sam. Winston definitely needs convincing.
• Then, why the heck did Tyler go ahead and put her on the block in the first place?
• Bayleigh is upset with Swags and thinks he threw the veto comp.
• She told him she deserves a power because she cried all over the place yesterday and America votes sympathy votes.
• Hmm.
• Sam remains upset and isn't doing her own cause any good if she doesn't have a power to stay somehow.
• Rachel told Tyler that JC said the other side wants to backdoor Angela.
• That is so very true.
• But Level Six isn't really sure where JC stands.
• I do think he wants Sam to stay. But he's trying to be a mini-Andy working both sides. We all know how that usually turns out in the end. Well, except for Andy, I guess. Usually it doesn't work out too well.
• Heh. Tyler likened the hamsters to piranhas as he watched the fish tank. I thought he knew what he was getting into!
• JC thinks he's working with Tyler and Hayleigh. I don't think Tyler is actually working with either of them. Tyler said before that he thinks Hayleigh is the weak link of the other side.
• Hmm.
• I'm so confused. Does she or doesn't she? Now Sam is telling Tyler that she's scared if she uses "it" someone else will have to be a robot.
• I say, if that's the case, go for it.
• Maybe Rockstar would be a robot. That would be more tolerable!
• The rift thickens -- Winston is the one in Level Six holding out on keeping Sam. Meanwhile, Sam tells Tyler she thinks Winston is a "predator."
• I think she just may have called that one right!
• She also told Tyler that she admires Swag because he's so driven, but she can't be a part of that.
• There was yet another Hamazon delivery in the wee hours of the night for Fessy.
• It's looking quasi-possible there might be votes enough to keep Sam.
• But, if she has a power, it would be a sure thing.
• We won't see until we see. 

After the veto comp

An hour later

Two hours later. Will he sleep with it?

Sam as herself this morning

I should get a power. I cried!
