Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 12

The bros ... for what they're worth

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Tonight, Tonight:

• For people at each other's throats, this bunch gets along too well.
• Rockstar is trying to convince people that Swaggy needs to stay because he's a superfan of the show and it wouldn't be fair for him to be the second eviction of the season.
• "He would miss out on so many things!"
• Um. That's more of an argument to get rid of him, methinks.
• So ... he's very good at comps AND a superfan!
• Nope, I don't want to keep going against him! Evict while we have the chance!
• Kaitlyn told her that her long talk with him the other day changed her mind about him.
• However, it looks like her latest mindset is that he will be evicted this week.
• (Not that she said that to Rockstar. I'm saying it to y'all.)
• She did hint to her that Swaggy will probably go, though.
• Kaitlyn is sure she will get a power next week.
• I really hope not.
• She'd probably tell everybody and ask others what to do with it.
• And then cry about it.
• Meanwhile, Winston is worried that Swaggy has the power and will save himself this week.
• Darn, that boy is dumb as a rock. IF Swaggy had a power, he definitely wouldn't be scrambling to stay. 
• Swaggy thinks he's worked the vote up to a tie.
• It's possible.
• I predict that Kaitlyn will cry when voting Swaggy out if it's a tie vote.
• Swaggy told Kaitlyn the "other side" can't win comps like his side can. 
• He also thinks no one could beat him or Fessy in an endurance comp.
• Well ... Swaggy might do okay in one, but Fessy's bulk is bad news in such a comp. Swaggy is tall, but slim. Still, some of the girls could do better. I bet Angela would be fierce in endurance.
• Swaggy thinks only a few in the house know he and Bayleigh are a couple.
• Um, right. Keep thinking that.
• Swaggy wants all his supporters to wear SwaggyC t-shirts for the eviction.
• @@
• Haleigh says she won't wear one and will vote according to Kaitlyn's wishes.
• Swaggy thinks he has five definite votes to keep him -- Fessy (well, sure), Haleigh (doubtful), Scottie (doubtful), Rockstar (well, sure) and Bayleigh (well, sure).
• I think that's likely to be THREE votes.
• In a move to protect his own game more than anything else, Tyler told Kaitlyn if she talks to Swags, he needs to be there.
• Tyler thinks Scottie is waffling and needs attention.
• Haleigh really doesn't want to wear the SwaggyC shirt during the eviction.
• I think the show shouldn't allow those shirts during the eviction anyway. After all, voters at polling places are protected by laws keeping the politicians and their supporters from influencing them as they step into the voting booths.
• The backyard is closed for HoH comp prep. Swaggy said he saw there were booths, possibly a true/false set-up.
• Both Haleigh and Kaitlyn think that Rockstar is a "ticking time bomb" and they're trying to distance themselves from her.
• Okay, I buy that. Rockstar tends to be the most brazen about things.
• Swags told Bayleigh he loves her. Aw, ain't that just so sweet? Less than a month! I must be true love!
• ...cough...
• Swaggy is worried that if he gives a mean save plea at eviction, he might lose Sam's vote because "she likes nice people."
• Actually, I always think it best to not give "mean" speeches when you want people to keep you in the house no matter who is there.
• Maybe that's just me.
• It looks like Swaggy will indeed be voted out tonight, but not unanimously.
• I don't think Kaitlyn will have to break a tie, though. 

So, they think they can dance

Kaitlyn's zombie power is on

Sam does talk a lot

Fessy - "I liked you because you're weird."

My last BB20 Swaggy screen shot???

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 11

I'll be live-blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast -- refresh this page to get the latest update! As always, the real party is in the comments area; please feel free to join in on the fun!

I will be quiet as we sit through "previously on ..."

Kaitlyn reminds us that her target is Swaggy, not either of the nominees. We will now hear from all those who feel they must win the veto. Tyler is thrilled. His Swaggy plan is in motion. Fessy is happy because he thinks Winston is the target. Kaitlyn wants to convince her alliance that she's still with them (not with Tyler).

Veto players pick time -- Kaitlyn got HG Choice and chose Fessy. Scott randomly picked Rachel. Winston randomly got Tyler.

Kaitlyn tells Fessy she doesn't want him to win. We know why. But she tells him it wouldn't look good to win two weeks in a row. Fessy still wants to win it anyway.

The doorbell rings! It's Jessica and Cody. Exciting, exciting. They get a house tour from the hamsters. And, they announce they're getting married. They also tell the HG there is a new site only for previous hamsters to connect.

Go through the BB Dating Pool, dive through to find what the previous HG would like to do on a date after reading information on that HG. They are all sequestered and will play individually, go over 20 minutes and eliminated. 

Rachel 5.49 leads
Tyler 5.29 now leading (Scottie and Winston out)
Fessy out
Kaitlyn out

Tyler wins the Power of Veto!

Now Kaitlyn's getting "really nervous" because it's such a "huge move" she's about to do. Poor Kaitlyn. 

Tyler thinks he should use the veto to save Scottie rather than Winston. Kaitlyn gets more scared. She thinks the others will all be after her. Now Tyler needs to get her back on track. 

Kaitlyn tells Fessy that Tyler is going to use the veto to save Scottie and she will put Angela on the block.

Kaitlyn cries to us. She says she could use the "best friend I ever had." Oh my. In her 24 years of life, her best friend ever is some guy she's known for three weeks? @@

The doorbell rings! A man acting like SNL's Chris Farley comes in screaming at and insulting Rachel. They run through individual screaming incidents.

Kaitlyn cries to Haleigh and tells her of the backdoor Swaggy plan. That puts Haleigh on the spot. She can't really go tell the others because she herself might end up on the block.  

But Haleigh runs and tells Rockstar. She tells her not to tell anyone, not even Orwell. But Rockstar hints around that there might be problems to Fessy. He still thinks Angela is going on the block. 

Kaitlyn goes to Fessy before the meeting, apologizes for what she's about to do and tells him she hopes he will still trust her. He looks befuddled -- he does that look quite well. She didn't tell him specifics. 

Veto meeting time. Tyler uses the veto to save Scottie. And, Kaitlyn goes through with putting Swaggy on the block as planned, crying all the way through it. Bayleigh needs to close her mouth before flies fly in. Fessy is mad. Swaggy is mainly stunned. He promises to make everybody's life a living hell.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 11

Well, her real boyfriend dropped her ...

REMINDER: TONIGHT'S SHOW IS 8PM ET/PT

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Waffling Weasels:

• Not necessarily IN the house, but -- word on the internet is that Kaitlyn's real boyfriend at home has dropped her and rescinded his waiver with the show that allows her to talk about him.
• At least I have the satisfaction that, if I went in that house, none of my friends would drop me like a hot potato. Since I'd be hiding around crying to go home, they'd all feel sorry for me!
• Swaggy is trying so hard to stay this week. I don't think I've ever seen anyone work so politely and thoroughly as he is doing.
• He's talking long deep sincere kind of talks with EVERYONE .. except Winston and Brett.
• Meanwhile, Winston isn't campaigning at all. He claims he'll campaign tomorrow (today) just in case of a twist. I haven't seen him start that yet.
• My only concern if Swaggy stays is that he'll target Tyler and I personally like Tyler in the house.
• We know Swaggy can win comps.
• Winston hasn't stepped up to the plate with comps. Maybe he's just holding out.
• But I see a mean streak in him that I don't really see in Swags.
• I do think Sam hit the nail on the head when she told Tyler that Swaggy is "pliable." 
• Kaitlyn pouted about people not hanging around the HoH room with her like they did with Tyler the week before. She wants friends! She needs friends! Where are her friends?!?!
• Heehee
• Of course, most of the ones who hung out with Tyler up there were the Level 6 alliance and she's not a part of that. Nor does she know it exists.
• Rockstar is just realizing now that everything she confided with Kaitlyn on, Kaitlyn told Tyler.
• So, Kaitlyn might be getting the trust of all the guys, but she's not doing so well with the girls!
• Kaitlyn told Bayleigh and Swags they can use the HoH room for sex any time they want between now and Thursday.
• @@
• I just don't know what to say anymore about that. My dead parents would rise up from their graves and kill me.
• Then Kaitlyn forgot to give them the room last night.
• Good.
• Nothing report-worthy has happened thus far this morning.
• It still looks like Swaggy might go, but maybe not.
• Heck, it's so much better than knowing the whole house is going to vote for the same person every week! 

Kaycee looks like such a kid!

Gets a A for effort to save himself

Winston isn't even campaigning.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 10

Talking sports ... boring!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of W (Who?) List Celebs:

• Interesting ... somehow JC got out of sleeping in the Have Not room -- his fellow Have Nots are not happy.
• You would think it would be easier for a small person to sleep there. Maybe he has a doctor's note.
• Sam would like to stay around forever in the house if for no other reason than to offer emotional support.
• Now Scottie is in a "the only people I trust are Kaitlyn and Tyler" phase.
• Kaitlyn is still waffling on whether Swaggy should go or not despite her thinking that it was an epic legendary move and all.
• She has no vote unless it's a tie.
• JC has told her he will vote whatever way she wants.
• Hmm.
• Tyler and Sam are still in the Vote Swaggy Out camp.
• Heh. Scottie was talking with Tyler and Kaitlyn discussing whether Swaggy had the power last week and used it to save Sam.
• If Scottie wasn't so absent from it all last week, he would have realized that Sam and Swaggy barely talked until last night.
• No one (except maybe Brett) wants Winston around.
• But the plan was a Swaggy out scenario. 
• Will they stick to it?
• On a side note -- If Fessy keeps flipping his head because of his silly haircut, he's going to end up with whiplash.
• Now the men loyal to Kaitlyn are: Fessy, Tyler, JC and Scottie.
• Maybe it's voodoo.
• Oh my. Sam told Tyler she'll vote whichever way Kaitlyn wants. She thinks that Swaggy is "emotionally pliable" while Winston is a "brick wall."
• Ew. Kaitlyn said she let Bayleigh and Swags have sex in the HoH shower as a goodbye present.
• Why do these idiots have no respect for themselves, no shame, no common sense?
• Kaitlyn admitted to Haleigh that she was the vote that saved Sam last week.
• Haleigh is upset that Tyler didn't let her in on the plan.
• Say what?
• She was flirting all over Fessy at the time!
• Lots of small talk, sports talk and the like.
• They still have the yard for now. I imagine they'll be stuck inside tomorrow.
• Yawn. 

Lazing about ... boring!

A subdued Swagster

I see dead hamsters

Could he be in danger this week?

Quad Cam ... cutting staff or what?

Hot tub flirting

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Swaggy Scrambling:

• I've come to the conclusion that the two best hamsters in the house to talk to when you need someone to listen and advise you are ... (drum roll) ... Sam and JC.
• What? No Tyler?
• Nope! Although I think Tyler might be the best game player in the house, most of his consoling is part of his own game plan.
• I'm surprised about JC -- he did some obnoxious and stupid stuff around the times the feeds arrived. But I've watched and he genuinely has compassion for others. Who woulda thunk it?
• Sam and Swags had what might be a record-breaking long talk overnight.
• He told her all of his woes.
• And, yes ... he does indeed come from a rough environment. Bridgeport, CT has one of the highest rates of violent crime in the nation. I know the city. I don't blame him for wanting out.
• Sam told him that had he come in as Chris instead of all Swaggy, he probably wouldn't be in the position he's in now.
• She told she thinks he's shy and the bravado and Swaggy persona are his attempt to hide it.
• And, the way she listened and told him these things struck a chord with him. It was perhaps the best long talk about personal development I've ever watched on the live feeds.
• I think she's still going to vote for him to go.
• Even though she gave him the new nickname of Sunshine Swaggy and he told her how much the talk meant to him.
• She does seem to read people better than a certain "Life Coach."
• Ahem.
• As it stands now, Swaggy's not having much luck going after the two elusive votes he feels he needs.
• He talked to JC who, while sympathetic, told him he wasn't voting as any part of a group. His vote would be what he feels is best for his own game.
• He didn't tell Swags what that would be.
• Hmm. Kaitlyn must have worked her whatever it is she has on both Tyler and Fessy. Both have said they would never vote to evict her.
• Gah!
• The person I think I'd like to see gone the most is Rockstar. 
• Even more than Swaggy.
• Maybe it's just me. But she irks me every time I see her.
• Tyler pointed out to Swaggy that Rockstar's mouth caused a lot of the issues people had with him.
• Kaitlyn, still in her feel sorry for Swaggy epiphany, was told by Tyler that he is still voting Swaggy out and thinks more than six will be aboard that train.
• JC told Tyler and Kaitlyn that his vote would be for Swags to go. He thinks that, if Swaggy stays, that side would target Kaitlyn next week.
• I think they'd target Tyler. But what do I know?
• JC is yet another guy (in addition to Tyler and Fessy) who's soft on Kaitlyn.
• I'm just not seeing WHY. 
• Rockstar wants to win so her kids won't have to share bedrooms.
• Huh. In my family we shared bedrooms until my parents worked so much that they could buy a huge old fixer-upper. They worked for it; they didn't spend three months of their lives going on reality shows on a chance they might win money. I had to share a bedroom with my baby brother until he was two years old. I hated it!
• Even though I think Swaggy now realizes the error of his ways and attitude, I think he will probably be out this week. 

Sam and Swags have a LONG LONG talk.

Getting too much attention lately

Being next to her killed Orwell

Realizing the renom is his own doing
