Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 8

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!

I will be posting a live feeds post later tonight -- I realize that things happened in the house today. But they got up so darn late this morning and then had the nerve to do stuff while I was out doing pool therapy!

As per usual, I'm sitting out the "previously on" segment. Oh, joy. We get to see Jessie "Mr. Pectacular" again. Like I've missed him!

After the hacker puts Tyler on the block, all are abuzz over who the hacker might be. Bayleigh and Company, including Hacker Haleigh, seem to want to point the finger at Scottie as the Hacker. Scottie himself is worried because he can't play veto and might end back up on the block. Tyler is sure that Bayleigh is the Hacker because he told her last week that Scottie was his best friend oin the house.

Now Level 6 is sure the Hacker is Bayleigh. They want her to think the nominations will remain the same and hope she'll pick Kaycee for the Hacker pick. Angela tells Bayleigh that she won't go up on the block. Of course, Level 6 wants Tyler OFF the block. But Bayleigh thinks Kaycee is her buddy. 

Veto player pick time! Hacker screen shows up. Hacker chooses Kaycee. That makes Angela even more sure that Bayleigh is the Hacker. Angela pulls two chips. She gets Scottie. Second chip herself and she chooses Brett.

Doorbell rings and it's Jessie, the veto host. Space Pecs, series of rounds to generate power, rolling an orb (ball) up a ramp. It's the gifts for all, punishments and rewards, trade comp for this season. 

Round One - Rockstar is eliminated, gets the Golden Power of Veto 
Round Two - Anglea out gets Jessie's Fitness and Food Program, trades for the Veto 
Round Three - Kaycee out, gets Healthy Honolulu -- a trip to Hawaii. She keeps it. 
Round Four - Brett out, gets Health Nut punishment, trades for the Hawaii trip.

Meanwhile Scottie promises Tyler that he will take him off the block if he wins the veto. 

Round Five - Tyler wins the round against Scottie. 
Scottie gets Space Bucks, $5,000. Keep or trade? Angela promises him safety if she can keep the veto. He keeps it.
Tyler gets "InstaGranny" - 24 hours of taking care of Jessie's dear Nana. Again, Angela begs to keep the veto. Promises safety.  Tyler ends up taking Brett's trip to Hawaii and giving him the InstaGranny.

Angela has won the Golden Power of Veto!

Bayleigh and Haleigh are flabbergasted. 

Level 6 is still sure Bayleigh is the Hacker and say she will go on the block.

Kaycee gets her big barbells and peanut costume. She has to sing and dance every time the working out song comes on.

Rockstar has to cook healthy food and exercise as per Jessie's voice direction each time she hears him.

Veto meeting time ... Angela saves Tyler and tells them she knows who the Hacker is BAYLEIGH. She nominates Baleigh. Bayleigh basically looks dumbfounded. She has no clue who the Hacker is, but it's not her! Haleigh feels guilty, as she should.

Bayleigh tells Angela that she needs to take Rockstar off and put Scottie back on the block. Um ... well, BAYLEIGH would like that ...!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday Night - August 7

Lone wolf making friendly in HoH room

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

• The big news of the day is that Haleigh gave in, couldn't take it any longer.
• She told Bayleigh that she was the hacker.
• Surprisingly, during and after the huge tear fest between the two, Bayleigh seems more relieved that she knows it wasn't someone targeting her.
• Haleigh wants to tell everyone.
• But Bayleigh nixed that.
• Bayleigh must have said she hates everyone there twenty times today.
• It seems she might be more accepting to going to jury than being stuck in there with all those people she hates.
• Bayleigh thinks the ratings will drop if she gets evicted.
• Trust me girl, you're not all that. You showed some promise after Swaggy left, then took a dive when you let power go to your head as HoH. You treated people horribly even considering it's BB. Lately all that you've been doing is holing up with a select few and reading the bible. No great loss.
• Kaycee is genuinely upset because she truly does like Bayleigh as a friend. But that won't keep her from voting her out.
• In their talk, Bayleigh asked Haleigh whose vote she was going to cancel. Then she said she was joking. We can probably guess anyway.
• Neither Sam nor Fessy had any idea there are always double evictions each season. It had to be explained to them.
• Rockstar seems to want to give up her game (played to win money for her children's future) to Bayleigh by going whacko on eviction night.
• Say what?
• Bayleigh is playing up the "I'm pregnant" bit although it doesn't seem that she has had any kind of positive test or anything. Personally, I don't think she is. I could be wrong. But I think some kind of psychological wanting to be pregnant for some reason is more likely.
• She even got off a couch after reading a label it could cause birth defects.
• @@
• Fessy is trying harder to cozy up with Brett.
• Brett is playing the act he does so well. Nah, he isn't close to Angela or Kaycee.
• Ha.
• So, who will Haleigh tell next about her Hackerism?
• Fessy.
• He said he knew it ... and he indeed was the first to suspect her because she gave him a blank look right after the comp when he mentioned the skull and LOSER.
• She thinks if she tells at a house meeting, it could save Bayleigh.
• Fessy disagrees. He thinks it will just make her (Haleigh) a target and everyone would be mad at her.
• Fessy told her it's bad enough she told Bayleigh.
• Oh my. Fessy is actually thinking!
• He thinks Bayleigh would get evicted and she would be in a mess.
• He's right about that.
• Will Haleigh listen to him?
• Laters!  

Hasn't worn those stupid eyeglasses lately

You can almost see the wheels turning

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday - August 7

Not in complete Audrey Mode

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bye-Bye Bayleigh:

• Yeah, this is getting up late today. Don't worry -- you didn't miss much.
• Bayleigh exiled herself to bed and seclusion early (when compared to the others) last night.
• Haleigh, who knows better than to tell anyone she herself is the Hacker and it's not Bayleigh, and Fessy are determined to campaign and work for Bayleigh to stay.
• That must make Rockstar feel all warm and fuzzy all over.
• Both Haleigh and Fessy STILL think Tyler's a weak player who floats to the power each week.
• Ha.
• In the Mistaken Bayleigh Hacker arena, there was a funny conversation with Level 6/4 and JC about voting Bayleigh out because she turned their friend Kaycee (Hacker veto pick) into a human peanut.
• Maybe you had to be there.
• The Jessie Diet and Exercise punishment is really punishing Rockstar as time goes on. She ended up taking eight Advil because her whole body hurts.  That was eight in 24 hours, not at one time.
• Yesterday just one task had her doing 720 jumping jacks while cooking. It really isn't too healthy to go from roughly sedentary to that. 
• Rockstar's in no way a favorite of mine, but I do feel bad for her in that regard.
• Now, Haleigh's not my favorite either. But I found out she's a cat lover. I'll put that alone in my Pros column for her.
• Huh. Cons is still full on her.
• Oh, well.
• I can't really get a take on Scottie right now. I do think he will go for the Bayleigh ouster, though. It would be better for his own game in the long run.
• Haleigh thinks, if she got HoH, she would like to backdoor Sam or maybe Tyler.
• Grr.
• I know from watching the feeds that Tyler is a charismatic mastermind behind most of the game moves made so far in the house.
• I also know that Sam is a follower for the most part and not really a threatening to a win player unless she gets to the final two.
• But Haleigh has the roles switched around.
• Sam tried to console Bayleigh this morning.
• Bayleigh thinks the other hamsters have made her look bad and no college or job will take her now.
• Nope, did it to yourself, Bayleigh!
• That said, she certainly wasn't the most embarrassing hamster ever in the history of BB.
• She'll be fine and will have less outrage and personal destruction in her life than Kaitlyn did.
• Now I want it to be Thursday if they're going to be so darn boring!
• Still, this is the best season in years. 
• About time.

Bayleigh turned Kaycee into a peanut!

Rockstar is aching and Advil taking

We NEED a kitten!

"Tyler's a weak player."

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.
