Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - Sept. 17

Sam spent a long time under the foosball table

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Final Five:

• Strategy-wise, there is very little going on.
• JC has been told he's safe this week. But he knows that unless he wins the next HoH, he's next on the hit list.
• Sam hasn't really been told either way, but is certainly not helping her own case at all.
• Unlike previous seasons when we've watched hamsters actively isolate a single hamster, Sam is isolating herself.
• She spent an inordinate amount of time under the foosball table on the skywalk. 
• Now, a more savvy player might do that to eavesdrop on what's going on in the HoH room.
• She remained there long after the HoH crowd went downstairs.
• Sam also spent a lot of time in (what looks like) her stairs jail. She has coffee there. She eats there. She almost sent Angela for a header down the stairs there. She also told Angela a long convoluted dream story about hummingbirds carrying a baby bunny from there.
• Plus, Sam is still being mollycoddled by BB and allowed her own private room in the Have Not room -- yeah, the one that is always locked down once the Have Nots stop. But not this season!
• Kaycee hasn't told Sam that she won't be using the veto although Sam did go at her about it. 
• I will say that Kaycee is a very kind and patient person.
• I would have blown up at her and told her to leave me alone.
• In other news, Level 6/3 took a bubble bath (wearing their bathing suits) together.
• While Angela proposed it, I would guess the idea came from the Diary Room. I'm sure they'd consider it "good tv."
• In yet other news, after socializing, Spanish lessons, eating and generally boredom-driven conversations, there was a whipped cream fight.
• It graduated into other foodstuffs like mayonnaise and cereal as time went on.
• Everyone except Sam was involved in it.
• Sam would be horrified at the wasted food and mess.
• They likened it to the slippery mess from the Hide and Go Seek veto comp and it was just as slippery.
• The BB voice told them to be careful as Tyler fell, Kaycee almost fell.
• They cleaned up the mess, then themselves.
• What was Sam doing during that?
• She was self-exiled in her private room talking about busting everything and breaking out. 
• She is getting increasingly strange as time goes on.
• For what sanity she might still possess, she definitely needs to get out of there.

Big Brother 20: Nominations Show Blog Party - Sept. 16

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!

Please remember the show posts, like this one, are spoiler-free zones. While many already know the PoV winner and more, it has not played out on the show. Feel free to post spoiler comments on any of the live feeds posts, but not here ... also please don't ask for spoilers information in this post. Thank you!

Tonight's show is scheduled to start at 8:30pm ET, a half-hour later than usual. Oh. And tonight the hamsters will be entertained by Bebe Rexha. Um. Okay. Better them than me. 

We're running about six minutes later even due to the schedule change. Bear with me! 

8:37pm ET and we're finally on "previously on."

We pick up after Brett goes. JC isn't happy. He's upset that Tyler didn't fill him in ahead of time on the move. Now he's questioning trust. We're getting inside info on Tyler (fake) scheming with Brett to backdoor Kaycee and Angela ... Brett bought it. Tyler tells JC to trust him (knowing that Brett will probably go up). Tyler also reaffirms Sam's trust even as she badmouths Angela. Then Angela and Tyler planned Step One Ahead and Two Steps Ahead bit. 

Sam apologizes to Angela about calling her the B-word. Angela hugs her and accepts the apology but tells us she will be sending Sam out the door. Tyler lies to Sam, telling her Brett was coming after her and she accepts that. Tyler is just trying to cover his bases if one of them wins -- it's on to JC next. JC isn't as gullible as Sam. JC tells us that if he wins HoH, he will put Tyler on the block.

But, first ... he'd have to win HoH. He's the only one in the house who's never won any comp.

HoH Comp is a movies theme. They're in a home theater with movie posters of themselves. BBFlix and Chill. It's question and answer based on clues to each movie. Seven rounds.

Round 1 - All got it right, Angela first so she gets a point.
Round 2 - Angela gets a point.
Round 3 - JC gets a point.
Round 4 - Sam gets a point.
Round 5 - Sam gets a point.
Round 6 - Angela gets a point.
Round 7 - delayed by commercial break 
Round 7 - JC gets a pont

ANGELA wins HoH! 

Angela tells us she wants Sam out because she is friends with everyone in the jury house and there's no way any of them can win against her. Tyler is worried because he knows both Sam and JC have trusted him throughout the game ... but they're not Level 6.

Ohh ... from separate beds, Angela makes Tyler pinky-promise not to tell anyone and then tells him she's in love with him. He feels the same. Angela DR session has her thrilled with him. Tyler in his DR tells us he's the happiest person in the world and is in love.

JC corners Tyler about being on the block. He says Brett wasn't a good game move, if Tyler wins veto he needs to use it on him so Kaycee would go on the block, the girls have been using Tyler ... and on and on.

They have to gather in the living room. Angela reads off a card that BB is giving them a Bebe Rexha concert in honor of making it to the top five. They seen to know who she is. I had to Google her. 

Not so much my cuppa, but the hamsters are thrilled with the private concert. It had to be weird for her and her band. 

Time for the nominations ceremony --
Angela nominates Sam, then JC. She says she has had to get so much blood on her hands so far and they've had none -- if she sits next to either in the final two she will lose.

Her target is Sam.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Sunday - Sept. 16

Thinking it's the beginning of the end

 Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Caped Crusaders:

• The PoV comp, although blocked to the live feeds, was definitely discussed.
• It was a maze comp with smoke, cackling witches and other evil beings.
• The smoke/fog/whatever has really affected Angela -- she's coughing seriously enough that I think BB should have a medic check her out.
• Kaycee is also coughing a lot, but to a lesser degree.
• Tyler is even coughing now and then.
• BB should probably be a bit more careful with the stuff! 
• Kaycee won the comp (to her own surprise as she "sucks at mazes") with a time of 5 minutes and change.
• Tyler was second time-wise with less than a minute off of Kaycee's time.
• Sam timed out. No surprise there.
• With the Kaycee win, JC knows he won't be taken off the block.
• Tyler keeps telling him he's safe this week, but don't say that to Sam as they don't want Sam to freak out.
• Tyler knows that JC feels betrayed by him. He wants to tell JC about Level 6/3 but Angela doesn't think that's a good idea.
• Tyler told her about how JC has worked steady with him throughout the game, giving lots of information and such.
• Because Angela never really had much of a relationship with JC, that all came as a surprise to her.
• They planned a family dinner for themselves, complete with dessert and all.
• What about Sam?
• Well, BB continues to mollycoddle her and let her have her private room in the what should be closed off Have Not room.
• Now, I will admit that if I were in the house, I too would hide alone in the Have Not if I could. I don't do constant people well. I can understand why Sam is using it. But BB has always closed off the room when the Have Nots end. They are mollycoddling her!
• JC went to the Have Not to invite Sam to dinner.
• All of her replies were in her Baby Sam voice.
• It was four for dinner, not five.
• When she does eat, she sits on the stairs because she doesn't like to be "out in the open" as she eats. @@
• Angela thinks the practice is disgusting and unsanitary.
• I think it's just weird.
• Kaycee and Tyler reaffirmed their final two and both wondered how they would tell Sam she's going this week.
• They think, due to numbers and timing, that it might be a week with two evictions and possibly less time before the first one. They hope it's the case. They both care about Sam but don't want to deal with an upset crazy Sam until Thursday.
• Tyler and Angela cuddled and coughed together.
• I believe this is a true romance, unlike the Haleigh/Fessy one.

Her wins are L6 wins

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds PoV Comp Winner - Sept. 15

Well, they had the Power of Veto comp ... blocked to the live feeds, of course.

I'm taking a bit of a rest from the blogging today, but need to let you know the results. But first ... thank you all for your kind birthday wishes!

Okay ... Kaycee won the PoV.
Sam will not make it past the final five.
It should be interesting!

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - Sept. 14

Listening to Sam

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Gotta Be In It To Win It:

• JC isn't his loud and boisterous self.
• Being on the block last week and expecting to be on the block this week is making him a worried camper.
• He told Tyler that he felt betrayed. Apparently he had spoken to Angela and Angela didn't say anything about Brett targeting him.
• Of course, Tyler had told JC that Brett had to go because he was targeting JC.
• In actuality, Brett wanted to target two Level 6/4 members and that just can't be tolerated.
• But Tyler couldn't tell JC that.
• JC thinks Tyler isn't going to honor their final two deal and go unwisely with the girls.
• Well, yeah. But Tyler's not going to tell him that!
• Sam must have said a dozen times this morning that she doesn't know what she'll do today. Now, she's talking to others in the same predicament as herself. No one else is going around saying they don't know what they'll do. It's the BB House. Just be.
• Sure, they're saying they're bored. If someone came up with a game, they'd surely play.
• If BB gave them the dollar store arts and crafts, they'd go at it.
• Um. Wait. Scratch the last -- Sam would take them over and no one else would art and craft!
• When both JC and Kaycee mentioned how cold the house was, Sam decided to bake cookies. That will keep her busy for a few minutes!
• In Level 6/3 strategy talks, the nomination plans are Sam and JC. (Duh!) The target this week will be Sam -- she's come too close to winning comps. JC winning a critical comp is far less likely.
• Both JC and Sam fully expect to be nominated.
• So, I don't know why the feeds are being blocked so long for the nominations ceremony.
• Maybe that singer who I've never heard of that Julie mentioned would appear for the houseguests (for Sunday night show) is on.
• It's been about four hours now.
• Maybe Sam curb-stomped someone! Anyone got a police scanner going on the lot? Have ambulances responded?
• Nah ... it's probably that singer.
• But, I'm waiting for the feeds to return with nominations before I post this.
• After all, I already put nominations in the title.
• Wait, wait, wait. I'm so sick of the BB reruns! 
• Five hours 
• Six hours...
• A little more than six hours and the feeds are back.
• Apparently their noms were only about fifteen minutes before the feeds returned.
• They were doing the after noms hugging. JC supposedly feels ill.
• And, yes ... they had the concert (whatever) by whoever that was.
• Tyler is talking to JC. JC is on the block and saying that if he wins veto, Angela would probably put Tyler up. Tyler is telling him he's safe.
• Meanwhile, Sam and Kaycee are in the kitchen professing their love for each other.
• JC says that if Sam wins the veto, it's all ____ed up.
• As we knew, Sam and JC on the block.
