Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Saturday - August 25

Will she be someone's Victoria?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Drama Llamas:

• At least it now has dawned on Fessy how much he sucks at the game.
• He thinks everyone (at home) is laughing at him because he's been so dumb.
• But, to his credit, he's even laughing at himself (and his alliance) now.
• That is making Haleigh even more miserable.
• After all, they're now on the block together.
• Every time Fessy laughed at himself or the way they've played the game, Haleigh would complain that it's not funny.
• Oh, but it is!
• Of course, no one thinks they're a couple (wink, wink), so the only reason they're on the block together is because they're the last two from their side ... after getting rid of their own third person this past week.
• Haleigh thinks that, of the two, she has no real chance of winning the game and Fessy should be the one who remains.
• Fessy is willing to give it all up for her to have the chance.
• Perhaps because he's been so active in sports, he's definitely treating things more like a game to be won or lost, then move on.
• In the Level 6/4 land, Brett told Angela, Tyler and Kaycee his big job lie.
• None seemed all that shocked or impressed that he actually works in cybersecurity.
• I personally still don't understand the need he felt to lie about it.
• I think they just might feel the same way.
• Level 6/4 did a lot of days studying.
• They talked about comps they expect.
• Haleigh wants the chicken wire/egg comp because her fingers are small. Fessy thinks he would do horrible at that one.
• Veto is later today.
• Angela would prefer no changes in nominations. If someone gets saved, she will have a dilemma with renom. Whomever is put up at that point wouldn't be the target at all -- they want it to be either Haleigh or Fessy going.
• We know that whichever one stays, their force will be up to two still after Thursday due to the jury battle back. All jury members are from "that side."
• But, if Fessy remains and Scottie comes back, he just might gun for Fessy.
• Level 6/4 talked about how impressed they are with JC -- how smart he is, how he's taught himself English within six months and still asks about different words to learn more.
• Brett says he's never met a gay guy like JC who's just himself, no way stereotypical, etc. Kaycee mentioned a lot of gay people are like that. Brett said he's probably known some, but they've never said they were gay.
• Angela has to decide Have Nots today. Tyler, Sam and JC will be eating well at midnight and a new three will take their places. 
• Before nominations, Angela was saying she was going make Fessy, Haleigh and Brett the Have Nots.
• It would be such a shame that Haleigh and Fessy are both on the block AND Have Nots!
• Heh.
• JC tried to reassert himself in the standing with Tyler, telling him that Angela and Kaycee have a final two deal and beware.
• JC also tried to reassert himself with new best friend Brett, telling him that Brett is lowest on the Angela, Tyler and Kaycee totem pole and that Brett should not discuss game with Angela.
• JC is the only hamster who's never been on the block.
• Will he end up there if Angela makes him a renom after veto?
• And ... what has Sam been up to?
• Well, her first try of the nicotine patch resulted in sleeplessness and a vivd nightmare, so she will sleep without them.
• She cleaned the whole house hoping to tire herself so she could sleep well before today's veto.
• She didn't curb-stomp anyone, but did make a weird comment to herself (and us) about if they thought she was crazy before, they haven't seen anything yet.
• Oh my!
• Tyler and Sam talked. She told him that she gave Haleigh tokens during the HoH comp so she wouldn't go on the block if Haleigh won. Tyler told her that she was never a thought to go on the block this week -- that was all Fessy and Haleigh talking.
• Will today's veto comp throw an iron in the works?
• In the long run, no.
• It seems they would prefer Haleigh out more than Fessy, but they'll take out who they can. 
• On a reality television note, it was 18 years ago this past week that America watched Richard Hatch win the first season of Survivor. Many fans of both Survivor and BB aren't even that old!

Excitement as Brett tells his real job

Reassuring Sam ... again and again.

It's just a game. No! It's not!

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. 

Put tokens in her sports bra

"They" wanted him to win HoH

Shouldn't be a pawn this week

They got booze

His Cloud App will expire unused

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds HoH Bulletin - August 23

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.
