Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - July 30

The Queen has banished all from the Queendom

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Now We Wait Again:

• Oh my. Do I even have anything to report?
• Hmm.
• Well, you know Tyler did not use the veto.
• The backyard was open and much of the day was spent funning and sunning.
• Since the outcome of the veto meeting was already known ahead by all in the house, there were no hissy fits or kerfuffles.
• Tyler and Brett had a game talk. Tyler told Brett to keep sticking to Scottie for the big frame-up plan for the votes. He said he himself will work on Angela.
• Rachel and Queen Bayleigh talked. Bayleigh counted off like seven people who she thinks will vote to keep Rachel.
• Some of those ... like Tyler ... would be wrong.
• But I'm still personally wondering if Tyler can gather the numbers.
• It would be fun if Brett were to stay just for the sake of Rockstar, Haleigh and Bayleigh's reactions.
• Although, to be honest, I don't care all that much for either Rachel or Brett. 
• Brett did do one domestically smart thing today that surprised me. JC burnt the frying pan and was actually going to throw the pan out.
• Brett told him just to leave it soaking a while.
• Who woulda thunk it? Brett knows kitchen stuff and is thrifty all at the same time!
• Other than that, it's been same old, same old.
• Now we're in a circling pattern until Thursday.

Stop smirking at me!

So bored they made their own games

JC burnt the frying pan while cooking

What are my peasants up to?

Another day of slop ...

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting - July 30

Bulletin! Bulletin!
Alert! Alert!

Had this been an actual emergency ...

I called it right. Tyler did NOT use the veto.
Rachel and Brett remain on the block.
I still don't know if Tyler & Co. will have enough votes to save Brett although they think they do.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 30

Sam, the honeybee whisperer

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

• Shortly after I posted my last update, Rachel blabbed to Angela about Bayleigh's power.
• Of course, Angela told Tyler.
• And now everybody in Level 6 knows something that only a few of Bayleigh's actual allies know.
• It doesn't do more than a heads up for Tyler.
• We know that his only way not to be on the block next week, whether he uses the veto today or not, is that he would have to win HoH.
• That would be his only safety other than using his cloud.
• Now, if I were a hamster in the house, I'd probably go for a Tyler eviction -- he's too well-liked and he wins comps. I wouldn't want to be against him at the end. Would you?
• But that's not necessarily how these hamsters think. They just might vote to keep him.
• As a show voyeur, I like him. I want him to stay. He's fun to watch and really playing the game.
• Bayleigh has said she's only giving him this week's reprieve because he lost Kaitlyn, someone real close to his heart.
• Cough.
• BUT ... Rockstar and Haleigh think they should keep Brett and Tyler around to get rid of the other girls they want gone.
• And then how would they get rid of Brett and Tyler?
• They obviously aren't thinking any kind of end game.
• A honeybee landed in Sam's hair. After she brushed it away, she put it in a glass and told Tyler all about honeybees. It then crawled on her hand when she released it. I think she got stung, although she said she didn't. The bee didn't look all that healthy the last time I saw it.
• She did leave it free to go.
• I don't think Tyler will be using the veto (although now he knows he has nothing to lose by doing so).
• They THINK they have enough votes for Brett to stay.
• Some of these players are hard to figure out. For example ... is Kaycee going to be loyal to L6 or that alliance she has with Bayleigh?
• Haleigh and Rockstar seem to be the only two really WITH Bayleigh.
• Fessy is getting so ticked off at both Haleigh and Rockstar, he could align with others. But I don't know if he would abandon Bayleigh.
• Ohh ... Rachel and Tyler talked!
• But he still would prefer Brett stay.
• He wants Brett to hang around a lot with Scottie so they can blame JC's vote on Scottie.
• All said and done, I don't think Tyler will use the veto. However, I'm not as sure as he is that they have the votes for Brett to stay.
• We'll see.  

Tyler feels creative

Scottie is SO not a sunbather

Stress of being queen getting to her?

She did it. Now Orwell is dead.

Storage room strategy talk

I'm Fessy. I'm too nice for this stuff!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 29

The man with a plan?

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

• Rachel okayed being a pawn.
• Then she didn't want to be a pawn.
• She started throwing people under that reality TV bus and making up a thing or two.
• Don't be like Rachel.
• The beginning of yet another blindside is afoot.
• Or on hand.
• Something like that.
• Bayleigh isn't doing herself any favors by threatening people to work with her.
• Many still believe Scottie is the hinky vote this week. JC is working that for all it's worth.
• The people who don't think Scottie was the vote think that Rachel did it to frame Tyler.
• Angela is upset with Rachel. She told Tyler her loyalty is to him, not Rachel. Rachel is annoying her and saying things to Bayleigh about her.
• Brett, Fessy, JC and Tyler all talked about the girls alliance.
• Sam told Kaycee that she wants to protect her and Tyler "at all costs." According to her, Angela and Scottie could be replacement nominees.
• Sam would like the final three to be herself, Kaycee and Tyler.
• Some (Angela, Tyler and Kayxee) are scheming to frame Rachel to Bayleigh just before the veto ceremony.
• They think they can get Scottie's vote because he knows Rachel is after him.
• They think they have enough votes to save Brett.
• Hmm.
• The Have Nots for this week were the ones who did the worst in the last HoH comp -- Fessy, Tyler and Scottie.
• Fessy's best line of the day while talking to Haleigh and Bayleigh -- "I have no strategy."
• Heh. Really? We couldn't tell!
• The only hitch in all this planning is that Tyler would prefer not to use the veto and stay in good graces.
• About the only thing that Rachel hasn't blabbed is Bayleigh's power. 
• No matter who gets nominated next week, unless he's HoH, Tyler is in trouble if Brett doesn't go this week.
• Bayleigh would use her power to put him on the block. 

I should be queen!

We need a pool net. I can build one!

Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon.

Big Brother 20: HoH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 29

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!

Tonight we will see the HoH comp done after the live show (and blocked to the feeds) on Thursday night as well as nominations. Feed watchers already know the results and who won the Power of Veto. I ask that no one comments on those as this post is a spoiler-free zone. I will remove spoiler comments. You can talk about them on the live feeds posts as much as you wish.

We will patiently sit through the "previously on" segment. Now we get to hear Rockstar gloat over the results of the vote. Fessy is relieved. Tyler wants to know who did the hinky vote and he wants to clear his own name. He's on a mission! Fessy is upset that Haleigh thinks it was him. JC isn't owning up to it.

JC and Tyler try to deflect the vote controversy over onto Scottie. They seem to succeed.

HoH comp time! Information Superhighway. "Perfect Timing" Sit on top of your email, from out box to in box. The goal is to get there in eight seconds. It's a sliding thing. Closest to that time wins.

Bayleigh goes first. 8.08 uh-oh!
Tyler 10.98 
Haleigh 9.50
Brett CABLE WENT OUT
BACK ON
Fessy threw it and flew it - 4 seconds and a crash
Bayleigh is in the lead
Rachel is the last one - 10.04

BAYLEIGH is the new HoH

So, now she's the "queen of the house." We hear more than once that it was all for Swaggy. @@

Tyler is acting almost lovelorn and lost because Kaitlyn left. Bayleigh is buying it. Heh. Now she wants him on her team, thinks he's a free agent now and wants his loyalty. Heh.

Good, no more queen for a bit -- we get a fun segment on The Short and Tall of it with Fessy and JC.

The one-on-one's start. Haleigh thinks that Brett and JC might be good nominees. Bayleigh says Scottie is shady, maybe him. When Bayleigh talks to Scottie he denies the hinky vote and tells her he thinks it was Rachel. She treats him roughly (verbally) but tells us she will let him slide for now because she doesn't think he is after her.

Bayleigh talks to JC. She tells him that she won't put him up if he won't target him. He promises he has her back. (Lies.) She told him that she had been considering him as a pawn because everyone likes him.  He's worried and tells Fessy he needs to talk to Bayleigh. He tells her that JC would be loyal to her if she doesn't put him up. She told Fessy that his neck will be on the line if JC doesn't buck up and follow.

She seems to be on a real power trip. Dang ... she's big on threatening! Poor Fessy! And Haleigh backs her up! Sheesh. 

Bayleigh told Rachel that Scottie was blaming the vote on her. But she doesn't want to put him up. She tells her she wants Brett to go home. Then she tells her about her power app! Silly Bayleigh! Rachel agrees to go up as a pawn if she must.

Nominations Ceremony time. Bayleigh nominates Brett, then Rachel. She says Brett is the easiest to put up, been up before, no blood. Rachel, just because we haven't talked game. All business, nothing personal.
