Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Thursday - Sept. 6

Will Level 6/4 be the Final Four?

 Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dwindling Days:

• They were locked inside due to the comp build for today.
• There were quite a few strategy talks among Level 6/4 members and JC, but not all at once.
• Brett still has JC in his ear.
• But is he going to jump off the Level 6/4 bandwagon?
• It's hard to tell. 
• In a talk with Tyler, Kaycee told him that she talked to Brett and he's still good with them.
• But I didn't see said talk and I pretty much base Brett on what he says to Tyler.
• Kaycee also, not knowing all of Tyler's final twos, mentioned how they made their final two deal on Day One, maybe Day Two and have stuck together all this time.
• According to her, with Tyler agreeing, the eviction order should be Scottie, Haleigh, Sam, then JC with the four left to battle things out and all is good.
• However, a wrench might be thrown in there.
• Now both JC and Brett are on an "evict Haleigh this week" kick.
• In the long run, it would just change the order of the first two on the list.
• They think Haleigh is more dangerous than Scottie.
• I believe they're probably right. Scottie is often his own worst enemy in comps which he should do well. Once Haleigh is determined, she's a stronger competitor.
• We know that Tyler would prefer Haleigh out but acquiesced to the house feeling Scottie needs to go first.
• Angela, Kaycee, Tyler and JC had a long talk in which they all said how fake Haleigh's being -- playing up to them.
• JC and Angela snickered about pitting Sam and Haleigh against each other.
• JC likes it because a bickering two take all attention off of him.
• To be honest, there's enough dislike between Sam and Haleigh that they need to instigation to annoy each other.
• Scottie and Haleigh both think they're not the target.
• Scottie is being himself and not creating waves or coming across as fake.
• On the other hand, Haleigh is trying too hard to be buddies with people and went on yet another crying jag.
• Tyler and Sam talked. He told her to vote what she wants this week -- of course, that would be for Haleigh to go. 
• He also told her that she really needs to win HoH this week.
• She thinks that means that people want her out.
• Well, yeah. They do. They're growing increasingly annoyed with her odd behaviors, her mood swings, her taking over areas of the house, her long detailed stories.
• They all seem to have a soft spot for her, Kaycee and Tyler in particular.
• But they have limits to how much consoling and such they can do.
• Sam says she doesn't want people walking on eggshells around her.
• Yet, they're doing just that.
• No one wants to hurt her.
• Well, maybe Haleigh does.
• If Brett and JC do flip the vote to evict Haleigh instead of Scottie, along with Sam's vote, that would be the end of Haleigh.
• Only Kaycee and Angela would vote to evict Scottie.
• In the long run, it doesn't really matter -- they plan to get them out one, two anyway.
• BUT ... if whichever one stays wins HoH ... you know they'll all be Monday morning quarterbacking!
• Kaycee seems to have the schedule figured out. She thinks no double eviction this week, it will probably be next week when they don't have to do veto player picks because all play.
• I guess we'll see what happens tonight!

It will be Scottie, Haleigh, Sam, then JC out

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.
