Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening, PoV - July 1

Giving Tyler a progress report on Sam

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

• The feeds were blocked for the PoV ceremony -- everything is so off schedule so far!
• As he had said before ... Fessy did NOT use the Power of Veto.
• Sam and Steve remain on the block.
• About the second biggest game news of the day is that Rachel's advice to Sam seems to be working.
• Sam and SamBot is/are making more of an attempt to actually talk to the others, get to know them and let them get to know her.
• She previously worked herself into such a state that people thought she was ready give up and go home.
• Hopefully, this second wind will last.
• In other news, Swaggy continues to dig his own grave with his bravado and trying to be Big Man on Campus.
• Now, he does have the ability to win comps.
• But if he doesn't cut down on his Swaggyr, he's eventually going to blow his own game.
• I had to laugh when Sam came out after Robot Offline quoting an old Eminem song. She got through a few lines and production didn't seem to realize it was a song.
• Heh. Sam said to either us or just herself that the show took all these people, stuck them in a house and made them think it was middle school all over again.
• Swaggy wants to turn everyone against Winston.
• Winston ain't too fond of Swaggy neither.
• Yes.
• Middle school. I've been mistakenly believing it was high school.
• Tyler told Sam that no one other than he knows she has the power.
• They're going to make it like Brett has it.
• Cracks are appearing with the girls on Swag/Fessy side. Rockstar is getting more irked all the time with Kaitlyn's flirting because Kaitlyn said she has a man at home.
• Hmm. 
• I get irked with Rockstar shoving huge amounts of food in her face and chewing with her mouth open and gobs of food hanging out.
• EW!
• Angela wants to start a movement to call Swags by his real name -- Chris.
• Fessy thinks that if Sam finds out that she doesn't have the votes to stay, she might self-evict.
• Heh.
• First, she very well could have the votes.
• Second, as we know ... she's not going anywhere. 

Actual Sam hands mingling with the boys

SamBot is trying kinder and gentler

Guess who's back? Slim Shady or Sam

Do NOT turn that camera around!

Ew! Close your mouth when you chew!

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!
