Big Brother 20: Live Feeds, Hacker Comp. Friday - August 3

Lots of fish cam and reruns today

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

• The Hacker Comp had them taken from the house and had to do with typewriting words related to BB from available letters.
• No one admitted to winning it.
• Many think Scottie won it.
• He (like everyone else) denied winning it.
• He might have gone a bit too far in saying it made no sense for him to win. He kept saying he wouldn't be able to play for veto and a few other excuses why it wouldn't make sense for him to win and put someone in his place.
• They got called into the Diary Room one by one.
• And then we got reruns.
• I really didn't want to see Frankie.
• Oh noes!
• The Hacker winner took Scottie off the block and replaced him with ... TYLER.
• Rockstar is very upset.
• Bayleigh thinks someone from "the other side" did it.
• That other side is Tyler's side.
• Hmm.
• It's looking like Scottie to me!
• There's also talk the Hacker winner can replace a vote and another rumor about veto.
• Straight up as is, Tyler would stay over Rockstar.
• Hmm.
• JC, Kaycee and Angela think Bayleigh won it. They're trying to figure out which person's vote she'll cancel and if she will choose herself for veto (?).

Psst. I think either Tyler or Brett won

Will I be in danger?

Brett: I think Scottie has it.

Stop chewing your fingernails!

No, I didn't win it.

I just wish it was over!

Big Brother 20: Nominations are In! - August 3

After a long feeds block and a mysterious Cloud mention, the nominations are in. The feeds were blocked so long that I think the Hacker Comp had to play a part!

From the talk Angela and JC were having, it's Rockstar and Scottie on the block with a back-up backdoor of Bayleigh. 

Okay, a look at the nominations on the wall confirms it.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - August 3

"I suck at this game."

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Feast or Famine:

• Nah, I'm not talking Have Nots. I'm talking activity!
• The feeds were down for quite a time here after the live show on the East Coast.
• When they came back, Rockstar seemed beside herself and exiled herself in the storage room crying for a long time.
• Kaycee pointed out to the others that Rockstar had come so close to seeing photos of her kids; that's why she was so upset.
• JC said she cried after each HoH.
• I say, people who claim to miss their family so much should think twice about going on a three month long reality television show.
• I'm sorry. I'm mean. 
• When she finally did talk, she said she was a "math-tard."
• For the longest time, Bayleigh paced back and forth alone upstairs in the hallway, muttering to herself.
• Scottie and Fessy spent a lot of time looking confused.
• In contrast to the viewer excitement over the blindside and Rachel's Epic Exit, the hamsters themselves were quite subdued.
• By the way, all remaining hamsters have made jury.
• They are all happy with that. 
• Sam baked cookies because so many people were just moping around.
• Angela told Sam that she (Sam) can consider this week a vacation week and assured her safety.
• But Sam has a bug up her butt about Haleigh and feels that Haleigh will be all over Angela for the entire week.
• Oh. And Brett and Haleigh snuggled in the storage room. Well, after Rockstar vacated it, mind you.
• Oh, Brett! She voted for you to go home!
• Tyler told Fessy and Rockstar that Rachel told him about Bayleigh's power.
• Later on, Fessy kept saying he knew nothing about the power to Tyler. Tyler knows better.
• Remaining Level 6 plus JC sat and figured out that, no matter what happens, they will decide who leaves this week -- if the house sides vote a tie, it's Angela with the tiebreaker. Win-win.
• Scottie, Rockstar, Haleigh and Fessy all intermittently argued about who flipped. JC even got in that action and played off his part well!
• They apparently would rather think it was each other, not Tyler. Heh.
• Bayleigh ended up telling both Sam and Tyler separately all about her power -- including the fact it's good until the final eight.
• Bayleigh is still drinking Tyler's Kool-Aid. 
• The feeds cut out to BB reruns! A shot rang out! The maid screamed!
• Er, no. Okay. BB told them about the Hacker Comp in the feeds blockage.
• It seems that the Hacker winner can replace one hamster on the block and Bayleigh's power cannot override it.
• Angela thinks it diminishes her own HoH reign. I agree. Tyler pointed out to her that it also diminishes Bayleigh's power.
• Kaycee thinks the Hacker comps will be similar to the Roadkill ones a few seasons back. I would like that myself. Those were fun.
• In their talk, Tyler and Angela discussed flushing out Bayleigh's power by putting her up with Fessy. But then decided the best noms would be Rockstar and Fessy, telling Fessy he's the pawn and Scottie is the backdoor target.
• Tyler told Angela he plans to go for the win in the Hacker Comp.
• Angela did one-on-one talks and, if you just listen to it, it sounded like she and Bayleigh will be together to the end.
• I doubt it. If anything, she might try to backdoor Bayleigh this week. Her alliances are not with Bayleigh.
• So many are doing a good social/talking game this season! Tyler is going to be legendary. But JC and now even Angela are working it. And, then there's Sam who really does and says her own thing, but then makes each other hamster feel special.
• Well, I don't think she'll make Haleigh feel special this week, but ...!
• Oh, geez Sam.
• She called a house meeting and suggested they all refuse to play the Hacker Comp, let her win it and she will promise not to use it.
• @@
• Oh, that's just not gonna happen. Sam thinks it would put control of the game back in their hands. Others think it would just put it in her hands.
• Heck, they wouldn't even agree to vote on it!
• Meanwhile the Who Betrayed Whom Debate continued with Rockstar and Bayleigh. Bayleigh kept accusing Rockstar of having an alliance with Brett.
• Again, Tyler did not appear a suspect.
• Bayleigh, Rockstar and Haleigh still want their final three. Well, according to Bayleigh, that is.
• Rockstar cried some more.
• Sam tried to console Rockstar.
• Oh, but then Bayleigh and Haleigh "ganged up" on Rockstar.
• Bayleigh claims that Rockstar and Scottie are "masterminds of the game."
• So not so!
• Especially not Rockstar!
• In her one on one with Bayleigh, Bayleigh told Angela all about her power and said she wouldn't be using it unless Fessy goes on the block. Angela told her she's not going to be putting either her (B) or Fessy up -- she'll be putting up two people who have repeatedly had her name "in their mouths."
• Hmm ... is she implying Scottie and Haleigh? Scottie and Rockstar?
• Angela acted like Bayleigh's BFF. 
• Ha.
• In her talk with Fessy, she told him he's not a target and poked around for information that Scottie had been targeting her. He wouldn't say.
• In her talk with Scottie, he admitted trying to target her when talk was of putting Rachel and her on the block.
• He then said Rockstar was his real target. Angela agreed with that.
• In her (most likely honest) talk with Kaycee, Angela thinks she will put Scottie up as a pawn, Rockstar the target.
• They don't think anyone will save Rockstar with the veto.
• Angela wants the final four to be herself, Brett, Tyler and Kaycee.
• At least that's what she told Kaycee.
• And, it is all Level 6 -- if they can do it, this will be one of those legendary alliances in BB. 
• And on it goes ... 

You're safe this week, Sam.

What is happening?

Maybe they can be Brettleigh

Come see my HoH room!

Scrambling for cover

Scottie: "I'm like a junkyard dog."

Hamster watchers ready?

Oh my ... not Julie Chen's best look -- a red top that looks boxy! But first ... let's have a recap.

Julie tells us another blindside may be in the works. But to which side?  We get a bit of Queen's attitude from the Diary Room. But, she doesn't seem to see Tyler behind anything!

Rachel is freaking. Tyler goes to talk to Bayleigh, further cementing her trust in him. Ha. She thinks she has a new ally! Ha!

Kaycee and Angela are bothered by Rachel's behavior and think keeping Brett is a better idea. Of course, that's just what Tyler wanted them to think. Brett talks about the number of girls versus guys in the house to JC and Tyler.

Sam tells Tyler she'll do whatever he says. Scottie (of Bayleigh and Co.) is counting Tyler in with their vote to keep Rachel. Tyler has them fooled pretty darn well. 

Tyler tells Brett about Rachel telling Angela about Bayleigh's power. He's trying to think of a way to use that to his advantage. 

Fessy is a bit bugged that Brett and Haleigh are hanging out together. Haleigh tells Brett that she's not a "thing" with Fessy. She tells him she's "pro-Brett." We'll see how that goes.

The next segment will be Swaggy meeting Bayleigh's parents.

Whoa! That's some house she lives in! Her mother referred to her as Queen Bayleigh. Dad asks what his intentions are. He tells them that he loves her.  They seem to like him.

WARNING -- BAD THUNDERSTORMS COMING THROUGH HERE. IF I VANISH, I'M FINE -- HOPEFULLY MY POWER WILL STAY ON! 

To the living room!
Rachel -- Shout-outs to Jesus Christ and all! Hated be on the block next to you. I hope you vote to keep me. Love.
Brett -- Knows I was target, Rachel pawn. Tells of Rachel telling about the power app. All girls alliance Maneaters. 

The votes to evict:
Rockstar - Brett
Angela - Rachel
Kaycee - Rachel
Scottie - Brett
To commercial(s) ... 
Tyler - Rachel
Sam - Rachel
Fessy - Brett
JC - Rachel
Haleigh - Brett

They did it! Rachel is out! She runs out while Bayleigh and Rockstar's mouths are still hanging open! She remains surly, confused and mad throughout her Julie interview. She can't see where she did anything wrong. Angela left her a nasty goodbye message. She's shocked her alliance turned on her.

To the HoH comp - it's full of GIFs of things happening in the previous comps. on the memory wall shown earlier to the houseguests. GIF that keeps on giving. True or False questions. Seven questions.

1. Kaycee out
2. All right
3. JC out
4. Sam out
5. Only Rockstar, Haleigh and Angela were right.
6. Haleigh out
7. Both right ... to a tiebreaker

ANGELA IS THE NEW HOH! 

Julie announces a new twist -- a Hacker comp.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - August 1

Tyler IS the In Crowd

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

• Today ended up being a day with drama and studying.
• Angela went to Bayleigh and told her that Rachel told her that she (Angela) was going to be targeted if the veto was used.
• Now, remember, Bayleigh did plant that seed and demanded Rachel keep mum.
• So, then there was drama over who said what and why is Rachel telling things that were told her in confidence.
• Rachel talked to Tyler who said he never wanted Angela targeted.
• It was meant to be a kerfuffle to get people wanting Rachel to go away instead of Brett.
• I don't know. Rachel is still all over Bayleigh, Haleigh, Rockstar and Fessy.
• She definitely has alienated her own bunch yet she's way bottom and not trusted by her new "allies."
• Bayleigh and Company still think it's going to be a landslide for Brett to go.
• Tyler still has his people in action trying to flip it.
• Rachel refused to tell Tyler if Bayleigh had the power app. Now, she had told Angela and Angela told him (and all of Level 6). So, by refusing to tell Tyler, Rachel has definitely crossed to the other side.
• I'm still not sure which of the two will go.
• At the moment I think it will be close with Rachel going.
• But that's subject to change.
• The yard stayed open this morning, thus they know it's not a big set-up for the HoH comp.
• They soon learned more about the upcoming comp.
• It's one of those with video and images they'll be questioned on.
• Time for all to study!
• But, first ... Sam had a breakdown.
• Apparently the video of the HoH wall comp she won was shown. 
• She thinks JC threw the comp and the "one comp I won on my own, I didn't!"
• Oh my gosh.
• Now, I'm a Sam fan. But geez ... talk about an overreaction!
• She yelled at JC. She yelled at Tyler. Then she yelled at JC some more. Then she cried to Brett.
• Gah!
• She decided to go to bed early and hasn't been studying with any of the study groups.

Why?

Rockstar disguised as a normal human

Besties now

C'mon, Sam. Calm down.

The job was dangerous when he took it
