Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Night - August 6

"They're defamating my character, Sam!"

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

• As you know from my last post, Tyler was saved. Angela put Bayleigh up in his place, emphasizing that Bayleigh is the Hacker winner.
• Too bad she's not.
• Yep, a boatload of reasons to put her up, but that one's wrong.
• It doesn't sound like Angela used the "making Scottie defend himself by swearing on the bible" angle.
• Bayleigh's BFF in the house, Haleigh, is responsible for her predicament.
• Of course, in her numerous protests outside of the Hacker accusation, Bayleigh has it in her mind that she's been nothing but a delightful, pleasant, always kind hamster.
• That just don't fly, girl.
• Haleigh is being totally mum to all about being the Hacker.
• I can't really blame her for that. Now if she talks, the wrath of ALL would come down on her.
• Of all people, it's Rockstar figuring out the Level 6/4 group.
• She took Scottie aside and told him that she thinks they were trying to get him to come to their side and tried pitting him against his own alliance.
• She thinks the alliance is led by Angela and has Kaycee, Brett and ... maybe Tyler.
• As a matter of fact, she's pretty sure Tyler.
• Scottie defended Tyler, saying that he can't be a part of it.
• In a talk with Bayleigh later, they decided the other one and mastermind is Sam.
• @@
• Bayleigh knows she's the target and there's not much she can do about it.
• She says she doesn't want to snap.
• Then she snaps at people.
• She says she doesn't want to cry.
• So she cried.
• Rockstar has been told she's safe this week, yet still worries.
• But her Jessie diet and exercise bits are keeping her busy and tired.
• I think Scottie is considering what Rockstar told him. But ... he has to think of his own game. Is it better to be the expendable hamster on the sinking ship or the expendable with two other expendable ones on the sturdy frigate?
• Haleigh seriously needs to stop touching people. I'm not a touchy-feely type person. I'd swat her hand away. She was all pretzeled with Bayleigh last night. She can't keep her hands off of Scottie or even JC. She's starting to remind me of that Christine hamster who had the husband at home although I do think Haleigh's single.
• While there have been snips, snaps and conspiracy theories, there have been no brouhahas.
• The veto ceremony with its blocked feeds must have gotten all the really good stuff. 

Safety is a good feeling

They have four - Angela, Brett, Kaycee ...

Fessy dancing. Okaaay.

Bayleigh not dancing

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds - PoV Meeting Over - August 6

The Power of Veto meeting went down as planned. Such a shame it was blocked to the live feeds!

So, Tyler saved himself and Bayleigh is on the block in his place.

Angela did accuse Bayleigh of being the hacker. Haleigh has not said a word and is still trying to deflect to others while talking alone with Bayleigh.

Bayleigh tried to get in the HoH room, but Angela wouldn't answer the door.

Sam and Tyler told Rockstar she has nothing to worry about.
I'm sure she doesn't.
More later. 

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - August 6

One will off the other for sure

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

• First off, a mention of Brett's InstaGranny punishment -- like the Yell bit with Rachel, the feeds get cut. "Granny" makes Brett do things like mess up the beds, rampage the storage room, make meals for her then demand he eats them. It should be funny when they air it.
• The Backdoor Bayleigh plan is still in effect, although based on the wrong criteria at least in part.
• Angela plans to call out Bayleigh as the Hacker winner in her speech.
• She's adamant that Bayleigh is the hacker.
• Um. We know that's wrong.
• I wonder how Haleigh is going to take offing her buddy Bayleigh even if unintentional?
• Of course, the other criteria for Bayleigh on the block is spot on -- her meanness, power tripping and, in general, how she treats others.
• Level 6/4 is really rocking it. 
• While Tyler is the head mastermind of the alliance, others outside of the alliance including those who work with them (Sam, JC and now Scottie) really think Tyler is out of his element, bewildered by the game and only good in comps. 
• He's hidden the superfan status and his power app from all, including his alliance.
• We're seeing some of the best social games we've ever seen this season, some directed by Tyler, some on their own.
• For example, Tyler told Brett he needs to work Scottie. Brett did indeed do that and is still working him. Brett has Scottie convinced that he really doesn't talk or know Tyler that well at all, but would like to work with him.
• Even JC, who's not a part of Level 6/4 doesn't know how close the four are working. But he's helping them anyway. 
• The ONLY one JC actually likes with Bayleigh and Company is Fessy. He adores Fessy and Fessy adores him. It is sweet. But they all know Fessy is clueless when it comes to the game.
• A side note -- When JC was talking with Angela and Kaycee about how evil Bayleigh has been to people, JC said she yelled at him when he was in his bed jiggling. Heehee! It took them a moment to realize he meant giggling!
• Another peripheral to the Level 6/4 bunch is Sam. Although she loves the whole house, she has a special love for Kaycee and Tyler. She wants to be in a final three with them, then drop things and let them take first and second place.
• Nah, that's not the way to WIN Big Brother, but I do think she's being honest about it.
• Tyler and Sam had earlier pinky-sweared to eliminate the bad vibes and get to the end.
• What Level 6/4 is doing right is keeping their mouths shut and not seeming to be THAT close to each other.
• IF Tyler, Brett, Kaycee and Angela make it to the final four as they hope, it will be anyone's game at that point. I can see Tyler being a target as they know his charisma and talents. 
• Back to the present day -- Fessy is more worried that he's going to be the renom if Angela saves Tyler.
• Everyone knows that Angela told Tyler and Scottie that they will NOT be on the block. She will save Tyler and Scottie will not be the renom.
• Even Brett, though he would love Rockstar to go away, has said he'd vote out Bayleigh over her because Rockstar really can't do much other than annoy him.
• The veto meeting later today will be blocked to the live feeds, but the aftermath should be epic! 

Fun in the kitchen

Punishment has been good for her

We'll see this look again

Big Brother 20: Hacker Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - August 5

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 will finally answer the question -- Who is that Masked Hacker? Even on the live feeds, no one has 'fessed up to it. It's pretty amazing that the Sunday shows have started on time here on the East Coast all season so far. Watch ... I probably jinxed it now. 

I'm sitting out the "previously on" segment. If you don't know by now ...!

Brett is giddy over his speech and staying! Rockstar cries because she wanted the HoH win so bad. She cried so much that her eyelash fell off in the Diary Room. Angela wants to out Bayleigh's power app. Angela is still smug about Rachel going. Tyler went to Bayleigh just before the vote to tell her he HAD to vote out Rachel because she told him Bayleigh had the power app and other lies. 

Bayleigh confronts Brett. He insists he threw Rachel under the bus, not her. Bayleigh is firm that he wanted her to look like an idiot. Of course, Brett was her target -- she needn't get herself so worked up about what he said or did.

Fessy frustrated that he's voted "wrong" four times and is clueless. JC throws out names other than his own for the vote. Bayleigh needs to "get to the bottom" right now over the flip votes. Rockstar cries more. She didn't need Bayleigh being nasty to her! How to alienate your own alliance ...!

Tyler, Kaycee and JC celebrate their victory. Tyler puts his befuddled look on for a time with Fessy and Rockstar.

They're all called to the living room with the Hacker Comp on the screen. The BB Hacker can hack the noms after the nomination ceremony, removing one nom and replacing. Can pick a veto player. Can eliminate one hamster vote on eviction night. 

Sam calls a house meeting. She has a plan to knock down the Hackers Comp crisis. She suggests all make sure she wins, all go in and refuse to participate. She will win and vow to not use it. She means to give control back to them, but no one is buying it. (It is a silly plan.)

Level 6 down to four, are amazed they're doing so well. Angela suggests putting up Rockstar and Scottie, maybe a backdoor Bayleigh. If one of them get the Hacker win, they could even put up Bayleigh anonymously.

Baykeigh talks to Angela, thinking she's bonding. They talk about Bayleigh's power app -- she tells Angela she has to use it BEFORE nominations, can't change them. Angela tells us she wants Bayleigh to feel safe and works on that. Angela says she won't nominate Fessy or Bayleigh. She didn't say she wouldn't renom!

Nominations ceremony time! Angela nominates Scottie, then Rockstar. She says it's a weird week and they need to try to win safety. Rockstar cries some more. 

Finally Hacker Comp time. They're in what looks like a hotel hallway heading to their computers. Each round a scrambled BB word on the screen, must type it on keyboard, first three in each round gets a point. One with the most points after seven rounds wins.

Internet rumors were right -- Haleigh wins. She isn't planning on telling anyone.

They get called into the living room.
Scottie comes off and is replaced with Tyler.

Haleigh tells us the Tyler has been riding the fence and playing both sides.

Scottie is honestly shocked. 

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - August 5

Having a good time with her punishment

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pride and Punishment:

• Not much strategic happened in the late night/overnight hours.
• Angela will still take Tyler down and the plan is to backdoor Bayleigh.
• Last night ended up more about observing personal interactions.
• Fessy is worried that the show might be making his friendship with JC as being "weird" or stupid. Both Haleigh and Rockstar told them they're sure the show is having a lot of fun with it. (Which they are, of course.)
• Fessy quickly shut down Haleigh when she said something him worrying about seeming gay -- he said he's not worried about that at all. He just doesn't want to look stupid. (Well, he doesn't come across as the brightest bulb in the pack, but it's not due to his friendship with JC!)
• Fessy also said that, when he's evicted, he should pick up JC and carry him out the door with him! Now, THAT would be a hoot! He should do it! Of course, the show would make him give JC back, but ...!
• Rockstar is really changing and for the better. While she's still hanging some with Bayleigh, it's been Sam with her more.
• Rockstar is really working on her punishment and embracing it although she apparently has little or no chef skills at all. She says she prefers to eat healthy and exercise and this gives her the impetus to do both.
• Sam is helping her with the food prep tasks and exercising with her. She asked Rockstar if that bothered her at all and Rockstar said she loved her assistance.
• Rockstar and Sam talked well into the night about the game and life in general. No whacko self-chosen outfits and weird persona involved at all. She's bearable, even to the point of likable, when she's not trying to be so weird.
• Haleigh is completely bamboozled by Tyler. In a talk with Fessy, she went on about how Tyler was so out of his element in this game, too naive, too gullible, too innocent ... she feels sorry for him.
• BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
• Bayleigh continued to make brief appearances mimicking mingling with the others, but stayed either alone or with her crew most of the time. Sometimes with the bible, sometimes not.
• Scottie noticeably didn't hang around alone with Haleigh or Bayleigh.
• Haleigh, Rockstar and Fessy think that Sam is ex-military, perhaps a correction officer or a game warden. Rockstar had no clue what a game warden is. Haleigh told her but she definitely had parts of the job way off base. 
• Sam thinks she is going to be a great jury member -- she loves each one of them and wants to give each one special attention when they need it.
• That's really nice.
• But it's not Big Brother.
• Kaycee's peanut costume is a lot easier than many in the past.
• Brett's 24-hour InstaGranny hasn't come into play yet.
• Today will probably be on the boring side -- the PoV meeting isn't until tomorrow, the yard will be open and no real kerfuffles on the horizon.
• Tonight on the show, we'll see the Hacker winner.
• Most of them think it's Bayleigh. 
• The internet thinks it's Haleigh.
• I think it could very well be Haleigh, but if so I'm surprised she hasn't said a word to anyone. 

Mr. Gullible

Sir Bamboozle chows down

We're so good!

Becoming human

Take a picture, America! Um. Okay.

Kaycee's peanut costume better than many
