Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday - July 17

Tries way too hard to be "unique"

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of An Irked Owl:

• For something new and different -- Kaitlyn talked in her gurgly almost crying voice, then cried.
• I figured out, other than thinking she's an expert at BB, why I'm bothered by Rockstar. First, she calls herself Rockstar. Second ... I really like people who are their own people, people unique and different. But when someone works too hard at being "out there" it just all comes across as an act to me.
• Obviously, we have had little going on since I'm blathering about that stuff.
• Despite the fact that there are sides in the house, we've had no really good brouhahas and barely a kerfuffle.
• I'm almost ready for them to join hands and sing Kumbaya. 
• Sure, they trash talk (whisper, write on arms) about others behind closed doors. But, when together, it's all just so peachy-keen!
• Almost everyone has taken part in Kaitlyn bashing when she's not around.
• I believe the internet has done the same.
• Yet she continues to cry and hang all over Tyler and Fessie ... and anyone else who gets stuck with her.
• I bet she still thinks she made such a big move and will go down in BB history.
• She just might go down in BB history ... beating all previous records of crying in the house.
• Rachel wants her fellow Level 6 members not to throw the HoH comp to Brett.
• So ... we know they prefer to keep Brett over Winston.
• Meanwhile, Winston and Bayleigh bonded a bit. 
• Her side would prefer to keep Winston as Brett may be harder to beat in comps. They feel they can get Winston out whenever they want to boot him.
• A rather odd alliance formed overnight -- Bayleigh and Kaycee.
• Hmm.
• Bayleigh is so much better without Swaggy. She's started playing the game!
• I've noticed that there are two people riding completely under the radar when talk of future evictions go down -- JC and Sam.
• JC isn't particularly trusted and people think he's working both sides of the house, can't be trusted. But they like him nonetheless. And, he does certainly try hard.
• And Sam is just Sam. She likes to cook for people, brighten their days, be a shoulder to cry on. No one can accuse her of scheming.
• Yet she does scheme, mostly with the Level 6 group although she's not really a part of it.
• Scottie is a bit suspicious of Sam, but not to the point of wanting her out of the house. I believe he thinks there are bigger fish to fry.
• Rockstar said that she searched for years for eyeglasses that would make her look "cool." She finally went with "ridiculous." Yep, that's the ticket!
• It's still up in the air which bro will go.
• Scottie now has Tyler's number and knows he's "dangerous" in the game.
• Sam is reluctant to use her power.
• I have a feeling production might try to influence her to use it.
• Oh, well. If she doesn't, whoever is evicted next week will get a chance to come back. Is the unknown better than the known?
• Hmm ...

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - July 16

Will he change his own nominations?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of She's a Life Coach?:

• I don't have a heck of a lot for you today.
• That's because not a whole lot happened.
• Kaitlyn cried.
• She also talked to Tyler in this odd gurgling voice like she was hiding more tears deep down in her throat.
• Tyler never really trusted her and now really doesn't trust her.
• Kaitlyn also cried all over Scottie and told him practically every breath she's taken in the game -- including her vote to send Steve packing.
• She also told Scottie about Sam's power although she doesn't know all the details.
• @@
• Perhaps she might be a good life coach for gerbils.
• But not for people!
• When the time came, the feeds got blocked for the veto ceremony.
• As expected, Scottie kept his nominations the same.
• So, unless Sam uses her power to possibly bring the evicted back, either Brett or Winston will go home.
• Right now it's looking like that would be Winston out the door.
• Once again, it won't be a unanimous vote and might only be a vote or two deciding.
• Winston is walking around asking people what he should do.
• Brett is letting girls flirt on him.
• And on it goes ...

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 15

To read or not to read ... in the shower

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Shakespearean Readings:

• Actually, the Crap App punishment for Haleigh was the highlight of the feeds today.
• She'd have to don the costume and read wherever directed on cue.
• I was a bit surprised that some of the hamsters started skipping the sessions.
• That's rude.
• It's not like they have much else to do!
• Haleigh actually read quite well. 
• JC helped fan her at times, carried her soapbox at times. I think he likes to feel useful.
• The Have Nots were selected. It's Brett (who somehow got to be Have Not due to the veto comp), Sam, Tyler and Angela. 
• Kaycee volunteered for Have Not, but Tyler out-volunteered her.
• At least they have the Slop Chef Sam in there!
• The rest of the house will probably suffer without her cooking!
• Angela is the other steady cook in the house.
• I predict  a lot of easy dishes this week.
• There are still some rumblings about the women making it an all woman house. I dunno. I can't see Kaitlyn existing without a man to hang on.
• Brett's been fussing about doing so poorly in the veto comp. He says he didn't understand the rules.
• Um. Okay.
• Kaitlyn, talking to Bayleigh, said that Sam is indebted to her for her flipped vote and if she goes up as a renom, Sam would have to save her with her power.
• @@
• Then Kaitlyn fussed to us because she didn't win a power app.
• Ha.
• After all, she says Fessie called her the best BB player of all time.
• Oh my. This girl's in for culture shock when she gets out of the house.
• Sam had a long talk with Brett. She seems to really like him. 
• I can't help but wonder if she might be considering using her power to save him. She can give it to another player.
• Hmm.
• Other than that, it looks like Scottie will keep the nominations the same.
• It's a toss-up which bro will go. Now it's looking like Winston, but give it a few more hours and it will be Brett again.

Long, long Sam and Brett talk

Exploding head time?

I can't. I just can't.

Big Brother 20: Nominations, App Store Show Blog Party - July 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!

Please remember that the show blog posts are spoiler-free! While the PoV has already happened in the house, that won't air until Wednesday.

On with the show ...but, first -- previously on. Run and get your snacks now!

Scottie thinks if someone else on his alliance -- Swaggy and Company -- gets blamed for the hinky vote, he will move up on the totem pole with them. Of course, they pretty much realize soon that he was the vote. 

Although Bayleigh is still professing her love of the Swagster, she realizes she needs to get her head back into the game. In the bromance arena, Brett thinks they need to avoid having two Level 6 people on the block. Fessy is irked over the vote. He doesn't think Scottie would flip. Rockstar clues him in. He's still sure it was Haleigh flipping. Rockstar works on him some more and refers to Scottie as "Evil Genius." She even thinks he might not be a virgin!

Fessy talks to Kaitlyn who denies knowing anything about Scottie flipping, didn't know before and doesn't know now. Poor Fessy doesn't know who to trust right now.

First rule of BB -- You can only really trust yourself!

Lucky us! We get a segment on the Brett/Winston bromance. Bros for life! 

Scottie wants to target them, either one. He wants to make it seem like it was everybody else's idea. He asks people what they voted for the Steve vote and who they're scared of in the house. Tyler notices that Scottie seemed to concentrate on Level 6. He tries to divert the attention to Rockstar, saying that she told Kaitlyn that Scottie was the vote.

Ohh ... Sam tells Scottie that Winston voted to keep her. Winston told Scottie he voted to keep Steve. More ammunition against the bros for Scottie! Heh. Winston finds out that Sam told the truth. Now he must do damage control.

Winston thinks his best approach to Scottie is to tell him he had lied to Sam. Yeah, like that's gonna work. Brett wants to cover their butts with Scottie. Brett tries to blame Haleigh and Rockstar. Scottie thinks he got misted.

We get a math lesson regarding the amount of left-handed people via JC and Fessy.

The App Store is open for the last time! 
Haleigh gets the Crap App and chooses Read It - must put on costume and read Hamlet on demand. It will end once she's read the entire book.
Bayleigh got the Power App. She chose Identity Theft -- first half of game, can steal the identity of HOH and make the nominations.

Sam is telling Tyler and Kaycee that this week is her last chance to use  her power app or the evicted next week gets it. They think all of Level 6 might be safe if she uses it.  

Brett is confident he and Winston will be safe.

Bayleigh feels she needs to check in with Scottie. She doesn't want to use her power if she doesn't have to do so. Scottie goes ahead and tells her that he thinks Brett "misted" him. 

Nominations Ceremony time is here. Scottie nominates Brett, then Winston. He says it's because of their strong relationship. 

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 15

I'm too sexy for my shirt

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

• As you know from my last post, Scottie won the Power of Veto.
• And, yeah ... now the waffling begins.
• Sam's offer to be a pawn is still on the table. If she doesn't use her power this week, next week it goes to whoever gets evicted.
• But I sincerely doubt Scottie will change the nominations.
• The latest waffling is between the original target Winston or Brett.
• It will be a bro going out the door.
• But, which bro?
• The latest logic is that Winston will always be a target because he doesn't get along with people. Yet, he can't seem to win comps for the life of him.
• Then there's Brett. The gals seem to be under his spell. He gets along with the guys for the most part, too. As for comps? Some think he's throwing them.
• Hmm.
• What to do? What to do?
• Scottie is considering keeping Winston over Brett because it would always be easy to get Winston out.
• Hmm.
• Meanwhile, Tyler and Kaycee formed more of a bond. They don't think they can really trust Kaitlyn.
• Well, duh.
• Kaitlyn will spill the beans to any guy who gives her attention!
• Rachel is pro-Brett Stays because he's a number for their side and can win comps (although he has yet to show the latter).
• JC thinks they should get Brett out now while they can.
• So, even though Winston is rather universally disliked in the house, it's not a shoo-in that he'll be evicted.
• I personally think this dilemma so much better than the predictability of previous seasons with their whole house votes!
• And, though I like Tyler, I don't mind the sides evening up a bit. I like to see Scottie play his game, too.
• I wouldn't mind seeing some of the girls step up their game, as well.
• The bros went to Scottie proposing a final three and backdooring Kaitlyn.
• Nah, I doubt Scottie would do that. He promised Kaitlyn safety.
• For all her worries about being the next target, Bayleigh is now flying under the radar. Tyler and Company are a bit concerned she'll come after them. But no one is targeting her.
