Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - August 17

Who wants to see my HoH room?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Sucky Slip and Slides:

• Oh, I'm not complaining about the winner -- Fessy looked amazing in his effort and deserved the win.
• I'm just saying that, compared to past years, this was a walk in the park and the easiest slip and slide ever.
• You could tell by how long it took. We had it on the feeds for less than ten minutes after the feeds came up!
• Shorter tracks, lesser incline, smaller containers to fill, larger cups to bring it and seemingly less slippery than past years.
• They're going to need a lot of filler for the show now.
• Now that I have that grouching over ...
• Sam continues to be strange. She didn't weep or curb-stomp anyone.
• But she also kept her comp outfit on, had a talk with Brett about being honest with her from now on, and fussed about having to make an appearance at the HoH reveal.
• She also didn't want to shower.
• Um. Weird. Everyone else jumped to get the goo off (although there wasn't much falling that I saw other than JC).
• She didn't know if she wanted to take a cold shower or hot shower. Mind you, she had greasy goo on!
• She was the only one in HoH reveal with the comp outfit on, stayed a few minutes to hear his letter (her favorite part) and then left. Everybody else stayed for a while.
• JC is totally in Fessy's ear.
• Fessy is angry that he's always on the wrong side of the vote and no one lets him in on things.
• Welp, he had NO vote this week.
• But, yeah. He would have been on the wrong side of it.
• JC is already pushing the Brett voted for Rockstar to stay and Scottie didn't.
• JC's own vote? JC is saying he changed last minute because Rockstar threatened to put him on the block.
• Haleigh is deadset that Tyler and Angela need to be nominated.
• JC is pushing a Scottie/Brett noms knowing that Haleigh would vote out Scottie over Brett if it came to that.
• And, of course, everyone else would, too.
• Hey, Fessy and Haleigh would be on the right side of the vote!
• Tyler is safe although if he is in danger, he might have to use his Cloud power.
• In the end, the plan seems to be a Kaycee/Brett nomination with a backdoor Scottie plan.
• That, of course, is subject to change.
• Wait! It changed! Now it's Brett/Scottie!
• But now Scottie is the target.
• Oh my.
• JC finagled a deal with Fessy/Haleigh that Tyler is safe this week and, if he wins the veto, he won't change the nominations.
• Haleigh doesn't want Tyler coming after them.
• Well, he won't this week ... especially if they do his wishes (which would be Scottie out before Brett).
• Haleigh and Fessy think Tyler and Scottie are best buds.
• But, like so many things, they're wrong about that.
• BB gave the hamsters glow sticks and fun was had by all.
• Well, maybe not Sam. She was in bed asleep.
• I think, when the noms come down, it will indeed be Brett and Scottie.  

Fessy's advisory committee - JC and Haleigh

We're busy. Go away, Scottie.

This will make good TV. Um, nah.

Sure, he voted for Rockstar to stay.

Indeed an odd one, but no murders.

Big Brother 20: HoH Endurance Comp Updates - August 16

Once the live feeds return, this post will be regularly updated with screen caps and standings. Oh, and, of course, the eventual winner. 

10:04pm ET - Feeds still not up 
10:08pm ET - Audio, but fish cam 

10:09pm ET

 Haleigh is actually doing well cheering everyone on ... including Angela. Possibly Angela a bit less, but ...!

Fessy in the lead at 10:14pm ET

10:18pm ET FESSY WINS HOH!
 

If someone won the money, they did it before the feeds came back. I don't think anyone was going for it. When Fessy won HOH, JC asked if they keep going or is it over. Then the feeds cut out.

At 10:46pm ET, feeds returned. JC WAS trying for the money. No one got that, it seems.

Hamster watchers ready?

Previously on ... yada, yada, yada ... 

Ohhh, Julie's shoulders are showing -- white top, black slacks and SHOULDERS!

Kaycee is confident her Hacker vote take and her Level 6 alliance will keep her in the game. She will act sad, though. Rockstar is sad. 

Rockstar isn't only sad, she's mad. She thinks she has the votes. Tyler tries to apologize a bit to her, telling her it's Bayleigh. She kicks Tyler out of the room so she can talk to Kaycee alone. She tells Kaycee that Angela is so entitled and it wasn't meant for Kaycee to go home.

Kaycee talks alone to Angela and thinks it will be five to one with her staying. 

Tyler tries to bond once again with Sam. She asks if he's choosing Angela over her. Jealousy. Ouch. Tyler tells us he wants to keep his deals until he HAS to decide. He tells Sam he is still loyal to her. Sam tells us she just has to trust he's doing the best for the both of them.

The sink! WOOT! I'm glad they showed Fessy sit on the HoH vanity and thus yank it off the wall. And it shows Fessy get his smooch and possible under the cover make-out session with Haleigh. Gah.

Rockstar works on Brett. Brett is so good talking about secret alliances. Too bad Rockstar isn't in his. Although she thinks he is! Brett tells us he's going to build up all of her hopes and dreams, then take them away from her. He reports back to Level 6. 

Haleigh and Rockstar reach out to Brett for Rockstar's eviction speech. Heh.

Rockstar thinks her group is interesting, the other side isn't evil, but they're boring. Fessy tells her she's unevictable.

Tyler's family segment is next. His family is quite "normal" from Ohio. He was a bowling prodigy kind of kid. As we know, he lost his father when he was 17. His town is cheering him on. 

To the living room for the eviction -- All are dressed in outfits for the HoH comp.

Kaycee -- thanks the two failed girls alliances, wouldn't be in this position without you gals, appreciate if you keep this little peanut in the house
Rockstar -- Extended shout-outs, Sam never excluded, calls out Angela, Tyler and Kaycee. You keep Kaycee, you empower Angela and Tyler. Going on about the trio. 

The BB Hacker hacks Fessy's vote.

The live votes to evict are:
Angela - Rockstar
JC - Rockstar
Sam - Rockstar
Scottie - Kaycee (calls Julie "Mrs. Chen)
Brett - Rockstar
Tyler - Rockstar

Kaycee got the numbers right -- five votes to evict Rockstar, only one for her.
Into commercial. 

Rockstar seemed shocked at the news, but hugs and manners shined through. She just called out for the rest to "kill it!" Julie can't say much because of the jury. Rockstar thinks Sam was her one vote. When Julie asked her who betrayed her. She said whoever came up with the Hacker. Her interview is pretty good!

Angela and Brett left bad messages. Angela had nothing to lose because she knows how Rockstar feels about her. But, Brett? He announced their divorce and how he played her. As Julie said, "Doesn't he realize you're a jury member?" Rockstar, called on her lack of reading people when she always felt she could, shed a few tears at that point. 

HoH comp -- Glow and Flow slip and slide. Retrieving "glow" and filling glowstick. $5000 to the first to fill their small bowl, first to fill large bowl wins HoH. 

Whoa! Fessy looks like he's doing the best! Poor JC. We'll see if Fessy can keep up the momentum. 

Julie warns us -- Zingbot returns!

You can follow the HoH comp on the live feeds with me over on this post.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Wednesday into Thursday - August 15/16

Not playing chess

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

• I thought they had all spoken their cases.
• I thought all of the retells and what ifs might take a day off.
• Nope!
• Kaycee held one on one meetings with her fellow hamsters.
• Obviously, with her own Level 6/4 people it was not campaigning. She knows they have her back.
• With the others? They don't really matter.
• Kaycee confirmed that she met in the DR and used her Hacker vote cancellation on Fessy's vote.
• That won't come to any surprise to anyone, including Fessy and Haleigh.
• JC, who has told Tyler and Kaycee that he will be voting for Kaycee to stay, still refuses to discuss his vote with Fessy and company.
• Fessy did NOT break anything lately.
• Fessy is so worried about being on "the wrong side of the vote" yet figures his vote will be cancelled by the Hacker.
• He should stop trying so hard with JC.
• Haleigh is getting increasingly worried that things won't turn out well for her.
• She's right to worry.
• Rockstar, on the other hand, is going between confident that she has the votes, will go on to win HoH and nominate Tyler and Angela and then worrying that she's going to be evicted.
• Thankfully her mood swings aren't quite Sammish.
• What about Sam?
• Well, she and Tyler talked. Of course, she loves everybody and would prefer everyone stay. But that's not how the game works! Tyler told her how he had been being set up by Haleigh for the backdoor plan this week and, had he not won the veto, she would have put him on the block. He can't vote out Haleigh, but has to vote Rockstar (and is sure everyone knows that's what he'll do) because she supports Haleigh. Sam ended up saying she's not going to tell anyone anything, but for Tyler to confirm what he wants her to do before the eviction and she'll do it.
• Haleigh and Fessy still think they have Fessy, Brett, Scottie, Sam and MAYBE JC. As long as they have three votes to keep Rockstar, Haleigh as HOH would vote the tiebreaker.
• We folks spying on the hamsters know that they only have Fessy and Scottie and Fessy's vote will be cancelled.
• Heck, Scottie might even flip. Sometimes it's hard to tell with him.
• JC told Tyler and Angela that they should set up Scottie as the fall guy for Brett's vote.
• They nixed that. After all, when Scottie came aboard with them before he was crying (real tears) about always being blamed for stuff from the Bayleigh/Haleigh camp.
• Yet, I did see JC planting little bits of seeds of doubt about Scottie with Rockstar and the others on and off.
• There was indeed lots of game talk yesterday and last night.
• But it's like the broken record (pardon the expression, any young 'uns on board) that we've been hearing for the last few days.
• Rockstar did tell the story of her name, though. When BB called her, they said there was another Angela (her own preferred name), so they suggested Angie. In her actual life, she's often referred to as Angela Rockstar. Producers picked up on that and decided instead of calling her Angie which might be confusing, they'd go with Rockstar.
• Now, isn't this all exciting?
• Tonight should be good TV!  

Angry exchange? Nah.

Will we see this expression tonight?

JC attempting logic on Fessy

When I'm HoH, Tyler and Angela on the block!

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto SHow Blog Party - August 15

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's veto comp should be very entertaining! Grab your adult beverages and settle in a comfy chair ... 

Tyler has a pep talk trying to cheer up Sad Sam. She doesn't think he's been totally sincere with him. He likes her, wants things to be okay, but ... 

Tyler and Haleigh discuss the Hacker. Tyler tells her it's not him. She thinks it was Kaycee. Haleigh, of course, isn't going to tell Tyler that he's the backdoor target. She tells him he's not her target and Angela is. 

Rockstar thinks that Kaycee is shunning her and that she won the Hacker. Kaycee denies it and they bark at each other. Then Rockstar goes on a tangent about how unfair it is that she's on the block again.

Veto Player Pick time ... the Hacker chooses Tyler to play veto.Haleigh randomly pulled Rockstar, so Rockstar chooses Fessy as her player. Angela picks Kaycee. 

The Veto Comp --
The yard is done up woodsy and watery and OTEV is a big skunk. They have on antler hats. Poor OTEV has a cold and needs medicine. They have to find the right two previous hamster "medicines" on cards and return them to him.

Bring the medicine of the evicted houseguests who have been HoH. -- Kailynol with 200 mg of Bayleigh. Kaycee was right, but last up -- she's out.

OTEV Skunk even sprays them!

Evicted houseguests by a male HoH. -- Winston PM with Vitamin Steve -- Angela is eliminated, last up there.

Evicted houseguests who became a replacement in a veto ceremony. Nayleigh Gels with Extra Swaggy. Fessy last up, eliminated.

Last two houseguests evicted before jury. Whoa ... Rockstar gives Tyler an (accidental) heads up, she really was NOT thinking, his answer was wrong, he runs back. Tyler gets back first before Haleigh and Rockstar tells him he better save her, they can work with him. Racheltussin with Kaitlyn Oil. Haleigh out, last one up.

Houseguess evicted with eight or more votes. Rockstar runs up with an answer first. Jumping for joy and so are Haleigh and Fessy! Tyler finally comes up with an answer. Hey, Rockstar brought the Kaitlynol one! Tyler brought Swaggy with Kaitlyn oil. Rockstar out.

Tyler won the Power of Veto.
Rockstar cries. 

Rockstar tells Tyler not to forget it would have been her and Haleigh and he only won because of her giving him the right answer. In a DR Fessy compares his alliance to the Bad News Bears. 

Haleigh considers the renom possibilities. Fessy tells her Rockstar is a liability -- they don't want to put JC up and possibly lose him. He hinted Scottie. 

Tyler calls all inside for the veto meeting. Tyler himself gives a speech. Haleigh wanted him to not use the veto, but she was the Hacker last week, put him up on the block and he could have gone home. He saves Angela. Haleigh puts Kaycee back up on the block. Sam cries, but Kaycee doesn't.

Rockstar, in a DR, calls Angela a pretty, privileged Princess and vows she won't give up.
