Big Brother 20: Last Live Feeds of the Season - Sept. 26

Saying their goodbyes to wrong camera

Here's the latest (and last) news from inside the Big Brother House of Finale Day:

• But first ... I want to thank everyone who donated to the blog this season. With my back surgery and lack of timely recovery, it's both appreciated and definitely needed! Of course, if someone would like to donate ... the donation button is in the right sidebar. You guys don't know how much it's appreciated, especially this year.
• Although much of the live feeds Monday and Tuesday were a bit boring, the hamsters were more bored than us!
• They decided that Tuesday would be their BB House Bucket List Day.
• They did a house tour.
• They climbed the rock wall.
• Kaycee rode on the rotating living room couch.
• They sang (and sang again) The Real Tyler Song.
• They sang and danced to Kaycee's Peanut routine.
• They did shout-outs.
• They thanked the live-feeders.
• They rather sarcastically encouraged people to apply for BB21 -- "It will be the best summer of your life."
• JC told us that if we see Tyler on the street, put gum in his hair because he likes that.
• Kaycee and Tyler decided they'd tell JC that they were taking each other (no matter which one wins) to the final two ... before the show.
• So, we didn't see that reaction.
• Just watching him over the summer and seeing how pouty and grumpy he gets, I'm not sure if he'll behave through the finale.
• Hmm.
• This morning was a quick goodbye to the live feeders. The feeds were due to cut off at 10am their time. They finally got up and out to the kitchen to say the goodbye about ten minutes before the cut-off.
• Most of the time they were looking in the wrong camera while the camera with the best view of them was run by an idiot who thought he was doing Instagram videos or something.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds and Looking Back - Sept. 24

Sorry, Bayleigh

Here's the latest from inside the Big Brother House of Napping:

• I have practically nothing to report.
• Lots of napping.
• Lots of small talk.
• Lots of talk of being bored.
• They were given tie-dye kits yesterday.
• Kaycee and Tyler haven't told JC that neither will take him to the final two as they had a final two deal since the beginning and both a part of Level 6.
• JC still hasn't put together there was a Level 6 alliance even though he helped them all season.
• They do plan on telling him. I personally think the sooner the better -- give him a chance to cool off before exposing things on the live show.
• On a bizarre note -- the Have Not room is still open. Weird.
• And, that's pretty much that.

So, now what? Even though the season has yet to name a winner, I'd like to do my own little take on BB20:

• For me, someone who has seen both the aired shows and live feeds since BB1, this season was the best in YEARS.
• I wasn't too thrilled when the cast was revealed.
• Yet, every hamster played a part in making this such a great season.
• Well, maybe not Steve so much. We never really get to know that first one out the door. 
• This cast, despite the amount of recruits, was here to play the game -- even though some (Sam, Fessy) had no clue how to play the game.
• But ... they all played vital roles in the success of the season.
• This cast actually kept the house much cleaner than past seasons. Sam would clean so she had something to do. Scottie was an outright cleaning mania man. Angela, Tyler, Kaycee, Brett all spent a lot of time washing dishes and general clean-up. Most washed their own dishes after eating.
• Fessy wasn't into cleaning so much.
• He obviously was too busy strategizing!
• Some show fans didn't care for Swaggy -- yet he was the impetus to how the whole show played out.
• His alliance was blindsided and determined to grow stronger.
• Sure, they often won power.
• And got blindsided again and again.
• The Level 6 group was more successful mainly because they kept things secret. They didn't hang out in public as a group. 
• For the longest time Brett was pretty amazing as a double agent for Level 6.
• But, once it's known that a Level 6 member is planning on turning within the group while there are still other targets -- ZAP. Gonzo.
• They planned well and planned ahead.
• They also rolled with the punches quite well.
• The final three are all people deserving to be there.
• Sure, JC has been problematic. BUT ... he's definitely been playing the game. Despite his lack of comp wins, he's been working it.
• We can't say that every season.
• It doesn't hurt that Tyler is a cutie-patootie.
• Heehee
• At this time (judging from the live feeds), it should be Kaycee and Tyler in the final two.
• I'd personally prefer a Tyler win. I feel he's done more strategy and leadership of decisions for Level 6 while Kaycee has been more of a follower.
• However, it will be up to the jury to decide the winner. Since Kaycee has stepped up with her comp wins and she's liked by all (since she personally never nominated anyone for eviction and she's got a good personality, too), the jury just might pick her for the win.
• Either way, I'm okay with it.
• I'm certainly not going to complain about such an entertaining season!
• What are your thoughts?

Survivor: David vs. Goliath - Jeff Probst Cast Assessments

Yes! It's almost here! The season premiere is Wednesday at 8pm ET/PT leading into the season finale of the best Big Brother seasons in years! 

Entries into the blog pool will close tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon PT or 3pm ET. If you haven't signed up yet and wish to do so, please sign up only on THIS LINKED POST. Requests on this post you're presently reading or others might not be noticed.

As for this season's cast -- on a personal note I find it very interesting that Jeff Probst is mentioning one castaway as the impetus for this season's theme. Pat Cusack. No, I don't know the man. But, dang. He's from Watervliet, NY. That's family stomping grounds for me. You don't see many folks from Watervliet out and about outside of that area. My father worked for years at the Adirondack Steel Casting Company in Watervliet. Many relatives worked at the Watervliet Arsenal. I believe both are long gone these days. My still favorite fast food place ever in my life started in Watervliet -- Ted's Fish Fry. They remain there and in several locations around that area. Unfortunately, there are no Ted's Fish Fry locations where I live now.

Onto Jeff's cast assessment videos --

Big Brother 20: Memories Show Blog Party - Sept. 23

Tonight's show is running about five to seven minutes late in this area. Since this one is the walk through memory lane, I won't be live blogging all the happenings. Oh, yeah. I'm sure to comment now and then. And, as always, the real party is in the comments area!

REMINDER: The cut-off for the Survivor blog pool is coming up soon! If you haven't signed up, you need to head to the pool opening post to do so. Please don't ask elsewhere -- it could be missed! AND... no stragglers, PLEASE. Merci! 

They did the previously on segment as if this show isn't going to be mostly previously on. However, I think if you've only watched the shows and not the live feeds, some things might be new. And, we're promised the start of the first part of the final HoH comp. Woot. 

Tyler and Kaycee want to work together on the final HoH -- Kaycee do the physical, Tyler the mental. Kaycee definitely plans on remaining loyal to Tyler.

Now it's time for brunch and a visitor. It's Jeff Schroeder! Champagne toast all around! He brings up all the blindsides. We get to see all of them once again and they're still priceless, especially with Fessy DR commentary. Then it's into the house meeting by Hacker Haleigh.

Jeff asks about showmances -- Tyler mentions Bayleigh and Swaggy. So we get video clips. JC says he considers Tyler and him a showmance and Angela tried to steal Tyler from him. Sp. we see Angela/Tyler clips. JC doesn't think Fessy and Haleigh were a showmance; Tyler disagrees.

Time to reminisce over each and every departed hamster. Kaitlyn up first. "Yatus" clip is always funny. Brett throwing Rockstar under the bus with his lying speech. We did have some new classic moments this season! On my daughter's birthday!

Jeff is now curious about Sam. That leads into crying and emotional DR sessions. Into a segment on the punishments dealt out this season.

We get a whole minute or two of the start of the first part of the HoH. They have to ride their "jet-packs." It's an endurance comp. They are tilted and blasted with stuff.
