Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - August 24

What have they done to Tyler?!?!?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of False Foxes:

• The same three names keep going around in nominations discussions -- Fessy, Haleigh and Sam.
• The suspense builds.
• We had a false alarm with the feeds gone reruns earlier.
• BB ended up giving them a new smaller table. They were on lockdown in the HoH room for that, but we had no clue.
• JC's new comedy pairing is with Brett.
• Tyler and Angela thinks that's a good idea because they think Brett feels left out a lot.
• He is the person they consider the most expendable in the Level 6/4.
• They might even include Not Really A Member JC more towards the end than Brett.
• Kaycee would make it because I think both Tyler and Angela think they could win in a final two with her.
• Oh, wait. Where are Fessy and Haleigh?
• Oh? Gone by then?
• They are worried about a jury buy back and a double eviction.
• Life is rough in the hamster house.
• The Level 6/4 group is still laughing at how Fessy handled his HoH.
• Angela told Tyler all Fessy did was hide up in the HoH room and then get his ally Scottie out.
• She said that as she and Tyler holed up snuggling in the HoH room.
• When Kaycee came to the door, Angela jumped. But Tyler said he thinks Kaycee knows.
• Angela and Tyler both think they don't owe anything to either Fessy or Haleigh.
• JC keeps pushing for both of them to be on the block -- then it's guaranteed that one will go home.
• He even said he'd vote to evict Fessy if Fessy was the one. Hmm.
• Yet JC is getting really antsy about Tyler's loyalty to him.
• Haleigh has been warned she might go up as a pawn with Sam; Sam being the target.
• If both Fessy and Haleigh go on the block together, Angela figures she has good reasons to say for the nominations.
• Now I'm just doing one of those waiting games to watch for when the feeds come back -- they're doing nominations as I write this up.
• Or, maybe BB is giving them a smaller couch.
• I really don't know.
• Hopefully soon.
• I want to get this posted.
• Oh ... I forgot to mention that Sam told a slew of stories of her life today.
• That was new and different.
• Not.
• While I'm waiting for the feeds to come back, I'm going to grouch a bit. A. I wish they'd go back to food comps to earn foods for the week They used to show them on the live feeds. B. The feeds are too dark this year. I have to edit the screen caps so they don't all look like serial killers hiding in dark places. C. The volume on almost all is way too low -- however JC and Brett (and before this week, Scottie) often come through as shouting. D. This cast sings too much (which shuts down the feeds due to royalties issues) and is annoying. Yeah, JC and Sam -- I'm talking to you!
• Feeds still down.
• Maybe there was a brouhaha and we missed it!
• Finally ... 9:02pm ET and the feeds are back.
• Just have to figure out who's on the block now ...
• My gosh, it's Haleigh and Fessy!

They got the smaller table today

Stop it. Just stop it.

I'm sure Kaycee knows, Angela

Noms are on the wall - Haleigh and Fessy

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday - August 24

Together again? Not really.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blocked Feeds:

• No, they're not blocked now. But they were blocked well after the HOH comp ended.
• It was just a few minutes shy of midnight here on the East Coast when they returned.
• Two hours for a comp that was timed to end in an hour.
• Grr.
• Angela won it.
• Angela and Tyler had already discussed it before and neither wanted to win this week.
• When the feeds returned Angela was saying the comp was all luck (a crap shoot kind of thing) while Haleigh was saying it was skill.
• They got a booze delivery long before the HoH room reveal -- that was very late, almost 1am here.
• Since the Have Nots can't drink and Fessy really doesn't, the rest got a bit of a buzz on.
• After Angela read her letter, Sam asked to see it. She loves reading the letters. When Angela said it was closed and sealed, Sam looked like she was personally attacked and ready to cry.
• But she recovered and, unlike last week, didn't immediately abandon the HoH room as soon as possible.
• Without Scottie around, Sam has even more cleaning to do. Before the reveal, she busied herself sweeping, mopping and doing the mirrors.
• So, who will be on the block?
• Angela already approached Haleigh about being a pawn up against Sam.
• Angela and Tyler had previously talked about targeting Fessy and Haleigh (before Thursday).
• Angela told Tyler she's tired of them (her and Tyler) doing all the work and getting blood on their hands -- she just might go the easy route.
• Hmm ... a Sam eviction?
• That probably wouldn't be all that easy! But Angela is indeed the one least close to Sam other than Haleigh.
• She thinks Kaycee and Brett need to step up their games and share the bloody hands.
• She plans on one-on-ones Friday before the nominations.
• Fessy is tickled pink his HoH went so smooth.
• Yep, he got his big bad alliance member out and now only has Haleigh left!
• I will give him credit over Haleigh right now for being a bit worried about Angela being HoH.
• Haleigh is trusting their new "alliance" with Tyler and Angela.
• Fessy is a bit skeptical.
• They bickered again. And again.
• Both Fessy and Haleigh think that no one realizes they're a couple.
• Bwahahaha! Everyone in the house knows!
• A bunch of the hamsters are sporting neck tattoos now thanks to press on tattoos in Angela's HoH basket.
• We're going to see what happens.
• Angela really did NOT want to win this HoH and right now she doesn't have a real clear plan.
• But it could very well be Sam and Haleigh.
• However ... don't quote me on that.

"They" wanted him to win HoH

Shouldn't be a pawn this week

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds HoH Bulletin - August 23

The live feeds were blocked throughout the HoH comp. (Grr.) 

The feeds didn't return until 11:58pm ET, nearly two hours after the show.

Hamster watchers ready?

Before the "previously on" Julie Chen tells us that Level 6 might have the last laugh on the ZingBot. Ah, they will be showing the oven fire that happened yesterday, 

Julie is wearing simple black and white. She tells us that "they" have managed to mismanage the HoH once again.

Fessy is in a quandary. He will not put Haleigh on the block. But he tells her that Scottie threw her under the bus. He tells her the Kaitlyn 2.0 and that Scottie wanted her to be the replacement nominee. Haleigh cries.

Tyler, Kaycee and Angela are discussing about how one of them will go up when Haleigh goes crying to them. Kaycee feels bad for Haleigh, but can't believe the other alliance is throwing each other under that bus. She finally talks to Scottie. Now he feels bad. He's teary while they talk. Now he feels his idea was stupid and regrets it. He goes to Fessy. In his talk with him, Scottie confesses to have a "relationship" or a thing for Haleigh. Fessy doesn't like that. 

Scottie suggests putting Sam on the block. Fessy isn't sure he wants to deal with that craziness, maybe he will figure a pawn. He wants his ally Scottie out anyway.

Veto Meeting -- Brett gives Scottie a speech chance. Scottie -- Sam is playing us all and no one can beat her with the jury. He thinks Sam should be the replacement. Brett saves himself with his veto. Fessy tells all that Scottie wanted him to put up Haleigh, then Sam. He then names Kaycee as the replacement nominee. She's a pawn and not worried at all.

Level 6 thinks it might be the first unanimous. Brett is snickering about the other alliance crumbling. 

Ohhh! The fire! SAM was the only one to think fire extinguisher when there were flames going wild in the oven.

Fessy pitches a deal with Tyler and Fessy -- Fessy, Haleigh, Tyler and Angela get rid of the ones coasting along. Sure, they'll play along. Tyler has a deal going with everyone in the house now. He's worried it might backfire. JC presses Tyler about being loyal to him. He says he will never betray Tyler. Tyler tells us his ideal Final Four is himself, JC, Angela and Kaycee. His ideal Final Two is himself and Kaycee because he thinks he would win. Tyler does NOT want to win HoH this week.

FINALLY to the living room! 
Kaycee -- Shout-outs. Thanks CBS. Beyond thankful. Love Scottie, would love to continue this journey.
Scottie -- Didn't see it coming. Apologies for his immaturity.

The votes to evict are:
Angela - Scottie
JC - Scottie
Tyler - Scottie
Haleigh - Scottie 
Sam - Scottie
Brett - Scottie

It's unanimous. Scottie is evicted. 

He knew it was coming and hugged all. He tells Julie the Haleigh plan was actually a ploy to get Sam on the block because he feels he can beat Sam. Except for Fessy's, the goodbye messages were nice. Fessy repeated his duck line ... for the millionth time. 

HoH time ... at 9:55pm ET. Sweet shot, rolling a ball .. a copy of one from BBOTT. Search for tokens, buy balls from Fessy, can give tokens to others, can lock in best score. At the end of an hour, highest score wins.

I don't think it's playing out on the live feeds. There has been no banner. But I'll watch and get the winner posted if nothing else.

Julie tells us next week's evicted hamster won't go to the jury house -- jury battle back.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - August 22

In better spirits today

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Real Home Cooking:

• The biggest excitement (maybe only excitement) was they had an oven fire in the house today.
• I think it was Brett cooking. He and Kaycee were the only two in the kitchen.
• No cameras were on in the kitchen when it first ignited.
• From the living room cam watching Scottie and Sam, you could hear two thumps or bangs and see smoke bursting forth in the kitchen.
• Brett yelled, "We have a fire! We have a fire!"
• (I added the Defense bit in the photo; he was serious.)
• Thinking it was Brett, they thought he was joking.
• But then they knew it was serious.
• The feeds cut right away and stayed away for quite a while.
• One thing I noticed is that no smoke alarms went off immediately.
• Heck, I can cook bacon and set mine off with no real fire!
• In other news, Haleigh now says she always liked Angela and is glad she's closer to her lately.
• She said in the past she was just worried Angela would target her.
• Heh, heh, heh.
• Tyler let Fessy teach him all about how they should play the game from this point forward.
• Heh, heh, heh.
• I think everybody, except maybe Brett, is scared what will happen when/if Sam goes on the block.
• But Brett has other targets first.
• Sam didn't kill anyone.
• But, just the little things ... like a whole group is having fun in the kitchen and she's there, too. She's in her own little world looking at her spider in a jar.
• As we could all guess, she did spend a lot of time with Scottie.
• They're still worried it will be a double eviction tomorrow.
• Let them worry.

We have a fire! Defense! Defense!

Yes, Fessy. Thanks for teaching me the game!

Channeling his inner Sam?
