Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Sept. 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!

Previously on ... and on. 

We pick up after the nominations ceremony. Tyler would prefer Haleigh leave because she has targeted him before. The "house" wants Scottie gone because they've voted him out before and he came back.

Haleigh and Scottie talk. Haleigh has the four in Level 6 figured out.

She goes to talk to Tyler. He doesn't really want to ruffle feathers this week because he knows one will stay. Tyler tells her that he won't be voting this week and the house wants Scottie out. Haleigh gets no answers from Tyler.

JC thinks he's so much better than Tyler! He goes to the HoH room and tells Tyler he did a good job with nominations. Tyler won't be bamboozled by JC! 

Uh-oh -- Sam is straightening Tyler's hair! 

And we're into an HoH snuggle session with Angela and Tyler. Well, interrupted snuggle sessions. They make a game out of it. They deny and deny showmance.
But we do see a kiss!

Veto player pick time! Tyler draws Kaycee. Scottie draws Houseguest's Choice and goes for Sam. Haleigh draws JC. 

Sam is irritable, thus driving everyone crazy. Kaycee tells us that Sam will probably have to go sooner rather than later.

Then Haleigh makes her move on Kaycee. Oh, just friends. Haleigh tells us that, since Fessy is gone, that tie is severed game-wise. She will palm off some of her dirty deeds on her beloved Fessy. Kaycee will humor her.

Time for the veto comp! Brett is hosting in a giant inflatable smile costume. They have emojis in the backyard. They have to crawl to, then retrieve an emoji, then cross a see-saw balance beam to deposit it -- first HG to get all their emojis in wins. Then it starts raining to make it all slippery. Whenever they drop an emoji or one leaves the paddle collection end of the see-saw, they reset and have to do it all over. JC is actually doing very well. Will he win?

KAYCEE wins the PoV! 

Haleigh again tries to talk to Tyler. He again gives her no answers. All he tells her is not to go to Scottie and talk to him about being the target.

So, she goes to Scottie. He tells her that they're not worried about jury votes. Scottie tells her that he was told he's the pawn. The plot thickens and the tears start. Kaycee comforts her and tells her she's not leaving this week. 

Time for the veto meeting --
Kaycee does not use the power of veto.

She says it's best for the game.

Hmm ... from live feeds, I know both made speeches we will never see. Supposedly they were Brett-like speeches. Grrr.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday - Sept. 5

Ready to climb the walls.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Gregarious Groundhogs:

• No yard. No grill. Servin' the hard time in the BB House.
• Brett complained to Angela, Tyler and JC about how annoying Sam is from her never-ending stories to her possible Hoarder practices.
• No one can really use the table because Sam's stuff has taken it over.
• YET ... they used her Saran Wrap/Tape ball for games. I didn't see them whining about the ball!
• They wanted to get Haleigh to dump all the stuff off the table. But Haleigh decided it would just cause a fight and, since she's on the block, she doesn't need that.
• Brett and Scottie did wall-climbing.
• And then ... when most everyone else in the house turned in ... Brett and Scottie hung out with Sam.
• Yep, for all the trash talk ... Brett hung out with her to the point that he hung in the Have Not room asking her to tell and listening to her stories.
• Scottie, JC and Brett stayed up most of the night being entertained by Sam.
• JC was trying to sleep but couldn't with the lights on. He refused Sam's offer of an eye mask because he's claustrophobic and it bothers him.
• I still don't have a great read on Brett. I can never tall with him until I see him run to Tyler and talk.
• If he did that, I missed it.
• It's been pretty obvious where Sam's vote lies.
• Tomorrow, tomorrow ...

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday - Sept. 4

Thankfully not a porn-ish showmance

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Controversial Comps:

• The early evening was on the quiet side.
• For a while, Tyler and Angela hung out in the HoH room.
• Nope, they didn't do the deed and I doubt they will while on the show.
• It does seem to be a true affection kind of relationship.
• For a while, Sam exiled herself contemplating her navel. Or something to that effect. She kept whispering questions to herself. Why am I here? Where am I? How long will I be here? 
• Angela came along also seeking a bit of quiet.
• But they joined forces and went to the kitchen with everyone else.
• The backyard had been closed down and they were told it would reopen.
• Since they've been told there would be another extended lockout from the yard prior to Thursday, they want every minute of the yard they can get.
• Meanwhile, JC talked to Tyler in the HoH room while the others gathered in the kitchen.
• JC kept defending his own game play and how he reported to him (Tyler) everything Fessy said while not telling Fessy anything Tyler said.
• He seems to be getting very nervous about his final two deal with Tyler.
• He also seems to be blaming it all on Angela.
• Or, to be more precise, the Angela/Tyler relationship.
• He's like a jealous little kid.
• JC told Tyler the next move they need to make after this week is to target Angela and Kaycee.
• Bwahahaha!
• Despite all of JC's pleas, Tyler just kept saying it was too soon.
• Then Sam called a house meeting.
• Oh noes! Whassup?
• It turns out that BBAD/PopTV is putting on a big yard party for them -- complete with grill, foods and booze.
• And, the Have Nots can partake until midnight. It was 9pm-ish when they started.
• Brett and Scottie took over the grilling.
• Scottie went a bit wild with the Mountain Dew -- he's not much of a drinker.
• JC's goal was to drink as much as he could -- he even fussed when others drank wine. He wanted wine and beer. Some only like wine, yet he demanded both.
• Sam mixed and mingled all evening -- eating, playing solo badminton and having a good time.
• But, who's the one to watch?
• Brett.
• The guy is so hard to figure out when he's on his A Game.
• Often this season, I thought he was defecting from Level 6/4 but then he'd report back.
• Well, JC is in his ear with his agenda.
• Brett seems to be considering it.
• But you never can tell with him.
• Brett also had an extremely long game talk with Scottie.
• Scottie gave him all kinds of insight to FOUTTE and the talks at the jury house.
• Scottie thinks that, if he can stay, they should team up with JC and Sam.
• Brett told him that Sam is unpredictable.
• Then Scottie told him that someone (Bayleigh?) told him that Sam had a crush on Brett.
• Well, I think Sam has a crush on Tyler, too.
• That's beside the point.
• I don't think Brett will jump ship from Level 6/4, but he's so hard to read.
• Tyler has Scottie convinced he's not the target, but needs to be careful.
• Tyler has Haleigh convinced she's not the target.
• I do think they're targeting Scottie more than Haleigh.
• Either one left behind could possibly win HoH -- I mean, we're not talking JC here. 

Where am I? Why am I here?

BBAD is giving us a party!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds, PoV Meeting Monday - Sept. 3

Plays well with others

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Voyeur's Voles:

• Is it Thursday yet?
• It can't come too soon.
• Hmm ... let's see, let's see ...
• Sam got creative again, making things that I'm not sure the purpose, other than to keep her busy.
• JC is in his slop mode grump.
• He's mad because others got a bit of alcohol last night.
• He's mad because, although he's the best fit for the satellite dish beds, they're so uncomfortable.
• He's mad because he can't eat whatever he wants.
• He's mad because he thinks Tyler targeted him as a Have Not because he kept warning him about Angela -- remember, the Have Nots were the first three down in the HoH comp, decided this week by BB, not Tyler. Don't kill the messenger!
• You'd think he was the only Have Not now or ever.
• Scottie and Sam are also Have Nots. Scottie is taking it in stride. Sam says at least now she won't be wondering what to eat for dinner.
• They got word that the yard will be shut down for an extended time frame once again this week.
• So there was a lot of sunbathing and exercising. 
• They complain how hot it is, yet remain out there baking their skin in the sun.
• (Sorry, I'm a fair-skinned redhead and never had the urge to sunbathe. I just turn red, then pale again.)
• Haleigh is now focusing on her friendship with Kaycee.
• Lucky Kaycee.
• They had the veto meeting with the live feeds blocked.
• No surprises -- Kaycee didn't use the veto.
• Apparently both nominees for eviction gave speeches.
• Like a Brett speech, I guess both were very inventive.
• Wasted because she was never going to use that veto, but ...!
• The Angela/Tyler showmance continues.
• They're still trying to hide it, but it's rather hard.
• Mind you, they just cuddle, small talk and I know there was at least one kiss. It's not the soft porn we've seen with others when they've known each other two weeks.
• It's kind of cute. But I don't want it to ruin their gameplay.
• JC had the nerve to ask Tyler how he knows that Angela isn't working with Haleigh.
• @@
• But, the interesting note is that Angela is the only one not in a Final Two deal with Tyler other than Scottie and Haleigh.
• Brett is continuing his pseudo-alliance with JC, telling JC if he wins HoH, he'll put up Angela and Kaycee with Angela being the target.
• They seem to have decided that Scottie is more dangerous to leave in the game and it's likely they'll vote him out this week, target Haleigh next week.
• That, of course, is subject to change. 

Solitary slop, greeting bugs and birds

Me? I'd rather stay pale than to bake

Nobody puts Sammy in the corner!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday - Sept. 3

They all still love him.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother house of Kool Kats:

• But first ... I hope you're all enjoying a fine Labor Day weekend ... despite any weather woes.
• Yesterday and last night were pretty much without any real suspense.
• Neither Scottie nor Haleigh expect that Kaycee will use her veto to save either of them at the veto ceremony (later today).
• Haleigh continued her strategy from last week -- mix and mingle and be friendly to everyone.
• Well, not Sam. She's not friendly with her still.
• Scottie is also trying hard to fit in. Perhaps a bit too hard. 
• I'm beginning to remember how annoying he can be, even when he doesn't mean to be.
• They got the yard -- something they always enjoy.
• They got the yard -- something which often makes the live feeds boring.
• Why? Because they lay about in the sun, exercise and run.
• Sam remains confused about how to actually play the game. She had a talk with Brett telling him she didn't quite understand how to "work together" with someone.
• @@
• She also had a talk with Scottie and Angela saying she wasn't trying to complain as much as she had been doing.
• Hmm.
• Weird.
• But that's Sam for you.
• Kaycee reaffirmed with Tyler that she's his final two deal. He told her it's the only one.
• Hmm. Love ya, Tyler. But all these deals might bite you in the butt down the road.
• Tyler decided the Have Nots will be the first three to drop in the HoH comp -- JC, Sam and Scottie.
• JC is angry about being a Have Not again.
• What else is new?
• Haleigh got into a crying jag about her predicament.
• Who cheered her up and got her to laugh?
• Scottie.
• He proposed all kinds of creative ways for her to campaign against him.
• It's looking like Scottie will go this week now.
• But it's a long time until Thursday. 

Sam's back to trusting only Tyler

Will win ... Most Obsessed Nailbiter

Pushing his Scottie Out agenda

Was she throwing comps until recently?

Will he ever win another comp?

Trying hard to fit back in ... too hard?
