Big Brother 20: Live Eviction and HoH Comp Show Blog Party - July 26

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!

Either Kaitlyn or Rockstar will be evicted tonight. But this is the week that Sam's power kicks in. Whichever one is evicted will have the opportunity to do some sort of short comp and win her way back in. Sigh. For me, that takes a lot of the fun of Rockstar and Kaitlyn on the block away.

What's a party without a pool? Here's where we stand going into tonight's show:

Sam Bledsoe - Shayne McCaslin, HowSad, tbc, Sharon C
Haleigh Broucher - Brian, Sharon S, Monty924, Buzzmaam

Hamster watchers ready?

Recap, recap ... who needs a recap?

Julie is dressed in black. She talks of the blindsides and how tumultuous the house has been this season.

So, we get Kaitlyn and Rockstar crying. And more crying. Crying to anyone who will listen. Fessy got Kaitlyn's wrath while Tyler is thinking he'd prefer her to stay because he can use her.

Finally to the living room? Nope. We get a segment going on about the eviction choice. Now we have Kaitlyn crying at Fessy ... again. Meanwhile, Haleigh and company are talking about working to get more votes to save Rockstar ... including Fessy. After all, he promised Haleigh he would vote the way she asks. JC is avidly against Kaitlyn. So is Sam. They seem to be the only two who have totally made up their minds.

The waffling back and forth is just a bit of what I saw on the live feeds. They need to get to the live show stuff! Sheesh.

FINALLY ... to the living room!
Rockstar -- Shout outs, HG all awesome, honored to be with you, love to stay. accomplish the mission I've charged many of you with. Even love Brett, Kaitlyn is amazing. On and On.
Kaitlyn -- Thanks people, HG -- follow intuition, whatever you decide is for the highest good, etc.

The votes to evict:
JC -- Rockstar !!!
Bayleigh -- Kaitlyn
Haleigh -- Kaitlyn
Fessy -- Kaitlyn
To commercial ... several of them.
Brett -- Kaitlyn
Tyler -- Kaitlyn
Angela -- Kaitlyn
Kaycee -- Kaitlyn
Rachel -- Kaitlyn
Scottie -- Kaitlyn

Heh. Rejection! She is evicted, but before she can leave the Bonus Life app comes up on the living room screen. Julie explains the power and tells Kaitlyn to go to the BB App Store room to do her challenge. And then ... more commercials!

She has to take a puzzle of herself apart, push it through an opening, reassemble. She has two and a half minutes to do it to rejoin the house.

She does NOT finish in time. ACCESS DENIED. She goes back in the house to say her goodbyes.

Obviously, they won't have time for the HoH comp on the show. Julie is going to have a talk with Kaitlyn. They won't even have time to start the HoH. I'll watch to see if it's shown on the feeds, but I bet it will be blocked.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 26

A simple dress? Is Rockstar ill?

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

• Despite the waffling between which one will be evicted, we're still in the doldrums.
• I still have little to report.
• There were no brouhahas, not even a real kerfuffle.
• Kaitlyn didn't even cry much.
• Yes, she gurgle-talked a lot, though.
• In the waffling department: Kaycee and Angela think they could keep Rockstar and do that All Girls thing. They think Rockstar would target Tyler and Brett, then use JC as a backdoor if needed.
• Now, there's one flaw with that -- how is Rockstar ever going to win a comp?
• Even Sam is waffling now. She was adamant that she wanted Kaitlyn out and would vote a tiebreaker evicting her if need be. Now she's saying she'll put two "dots" in a cup and make a random draw.
• @@
• JC has NOT waffled. He still wants Kaitlyn gone ... gone like three weeks ago!
• Then Angela realized that there's no way that she could deal with Kaitlyn if they were both in the jury house together.
• Oh no!
• Back to waffling!
• Bayleigh is also on the Kaitlyn Go Away Train. She says Kaitlyn can't be trusted because she's lied so much and gone back and forth between sparring alliances.
• Well, yeah.
• Tyler would rather Kaitlyn stay because he knows Rockstar would target him and he can work Kaitlyn for cover and advantage.
• And on it goes ...
• Of course, it's very likely whichever goes tonight will come back. The comp to return must be short because the time they've saved in previous weeks is just about maybe five minutes.
• We'll see which waffle wins! 

"Gurgle, gurgle ..."

Brett and Haleigh

Volleypillow ... or something like that

I can't contain my excitement

Won't be like this for the live show

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 25

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!

Is the show starting at 8pm? Yep, again! Why did they ever make a big deal of the schedule change to 9pm on Wednesday, then air it starting at 8pm every week? What's up with that?

Previously on starts with Sam's power app and gives us the recap of the shows so far. At least they leave off Swaggy these days. We're told that Rachel is coming into the house (for the veto hosting). Yes, that Rachel, not this season's Rachel.

Sam defended her choice to us. And Kaitlyn cried. Haleigh got defensive to us and vowed to play the game. Fessy is not a happy dude -- his two best gal friends in the house are on the block. What if he gets chosen to play and wins the veto? Oh, no! 

Heh. Sam shut Kaitlyn down telling her actions speak louder than words. 

Haleigh is crying, but in private and in the Diary Room. She's worried what her family will think.

Sam tells Tyler she will put up Rockstar if she has to do a renom. She also says she will let the nominees (after veto) know that the evicted will have a chance to come back (thanks to Sam).

And Kaitlyn cried. Now she's crying to Tyler.

Kaitlyn talks to Sam in the HoH room. She's upset about what Sam said about her. Her defense is she is an affectionate girl. @@ Sam tells us that she herself commands and demands respect as a woman and also gives respect. That is female empowerment, not batting eyelashes. I do like her values! 

Fessy goes to talk to Sam. He's stressing. She tells him to follow his heart and do what he wants. She tells him he's a beautiful person. They hug. He doesn't want her to put him on the block as a renom, so he wants her to keep thinking he's such a nice guy.

And Kaitlyn cried ... this time when Fessy tried to talk to her. She tells him if she can, she'll pick him for veto and he can save her. Then he talks to Haleigh and now he wants to save Haleigh more.

Veto players pick time! Sam randomly pulls HG Choice and chooses JC. Kaitlyn picks the Rockstar chip. Haleigh gets a second HG Choice and goes for Fessy.

The doorbell rings and it's Rachel being Rachel all over the place. 

Kaitlyn cornered Fessy and told him she would throw the comp to him and he can save her. That way both would be safe. He did shake hands on it. But you could tell he was flustered.  

Veto comp they have short outfits on, each member will get spanked, bonked and and chopped, then have to answer questions about the order of the punishments.  

Sam and Fessy are ahead in the second round. Whoops, now Fessy is in the lead on the next round. Fessy still in the lead after five rounds. Next round, Fessy in the lead and Kaitlyn in second. Fessy wins! 

No Fessy is in a dilemma. Kaitlyn is sure Fessy will save her. However, no way did she throw that comp to him. And, that's part of the deal she made!

Fessy talks to Haleigh and tells her to trust him. He confirms he will save her. 

Oops, then he talks to Kaitlyn. He mentions what she did to Swaggy. He gets abrupt with her and her Spidey-sense goes off. She goes on about the handshake and he says she didn't throw the comp to him. He tells her he needs to have time to think. Then, as they argue, he accidentally calls her Haleigh. Heehee. And then Kaitlyn cried. 

Time for the veto meeting. Fessy saves Haleigh. No speeches. Sam puts Rockstar up in her place. She hinted she would put up her best friend (JC). He said he would never do that to her. Sam, "Okay, so then I'll put up Rockstar." Sam then tells them about the power. 

Kaitlyn promises revenge against Fessy if she is evicted and comes back.

And Kaitlyn cried.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morn - July 25

"Gurgly, gurgly ..."

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Gurgly Gerbil:

• I thought other BB hamster voices were annoying over the years.
• I did not know the meaning of annoying.
• We're still in a bit of doldrums with the only excitement being the waffling between who should be evicted.
• Toss in the fact that the evicted will have a chance to come back (and everybody in the house knows it) and the waffling increases.
• JC is on a mission to get Kaitlyn evicted ... still.
• Not only is he personally irked by her, he has a Sam thing going on -- both Fessy and Tyler told him that Kaitlyn told them (individually) that she's never felt that way about a man, special to her and blah-blah-blah. It bothers JC that she's messing with their minds and hearts.
• Oh, and I must add in that Kaitlyn and Brett played sex games yesterday morning.
• Meanwhile, Bayleigh has increased her own standing in the house. Good for her!
• Bayleigh told Sam to just give her an indication before the eviction if she needs her to vote to her liking.
• Bayleigh also bonded more with Tyler, not letting on that she and Kaycee have an alliance.
• Neither Bayleigh nor JC want for Sam to have to break a tie -- whichever way the votes go.
• Sam told Fessy she doesn't want to be HoH again and have to make nominations for eviction. She wanted it this week only because of feeling she wanted some kind of control over her power.
• Kaitlyn is very confident that just about everybody will vote for her to stay.
• @@
• So confident that she claims (often) that she won't be talking game on Wednesday, not at all.
• I'd like her not to talk at all about anything today. My ears hurt from her voice. They might start bleeding.
• In addition to individually telling Fessy and Tyler how special they are to her, Kaitlyn told Haleigh she's her best friend in the house.
• Gah! Now she's trying the same mind games with the girls!
• And on it goes ... 

Bayleigh has definitely redeemed herself

"But Kaitlyn told me she has feelings ..."

But sometimes the evicted come back!

JC: She told both Tyler and Fessy the same thing!

Yep, Angela is around!

And, so is Rachel.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 24

In some kind of zone

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dipsy Doodles:

• Ew. In the early morning hours, we had undercover porn starring Kaitlyn and Brett.
• Wait. She's a life coach. Perhaps she was just coaching him?
• Ew.
• I find it interesting that Rockstar, the only mother on the show, does hardly anything in the kitchen. She is either thinking it's a vacation from her daily tasks or her children are starving.
• Tyler told Kaitlyn he didn't think she has Fessy's vote to stay.
• WHAT?!?! She's shocked! Where did he hear that?
• Tyler didn't say.
• It couldn't be those bridges she burnt, could it?
• Heh.
• Now Kaitlyn is telling Fessy she would have voted for Swaggy to stay had there been a tie.
• Um. Well. Had she not put him on the block, he would have stayed, too.
• Fessy might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but he knows that much.
• While there's much waffling now, Kaycee is still pushing Kaitlyn out and bring Bayleigh into Level 6.
• Of course, Kaycee and Bayleigh have their own little alliance of two. 
• If things keep going on course, there won't be an other side before long.
• Who have they got left? Fessy, Haleigh, Bayleigh, Rockstar and Kaitlyn.
• Of that group, Rockstar is the only gun-ho member. Kaitlyn has no boundaries, so she doesn't count. The first three are having regrets.
• Of the others -- Scottie, Sam and JC -- the latter two work with Level 6 more often than not. Or, at least via Tyler. Scottie is close to both Fessy and Tyler. 
• It's very hot there today and the children frolicked in the kiddie pool.
• JC jumped in and hurt himself, not realizing it was that shallow.
• I believe it's three feet deep. Better than no pool, but ...!
• Waffle time! Now Angela and Rachel (who recently decided Kaitlyn should stay) are now saying "Change of plans!" -- they think Rockstar wants to target Brett and Tyler.
• How many more times will the target change before Thursday evening?
• Heehee -- Fessy told Rockstar she should say something about Kaitlyn's boyfriend at home in her speech Thursday.
• Is Thursday ever going to get here?  

Will not be using her power this week

Cooking and cleaning and being Sam

Kiddie pool

Yeah, right

Ready to pirouette now?

Hey, turn that frown upside down!
