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!
We're down to the Final Four and probably not ones we thought would be there had we been asked in the beginning of the season!
What's a party without a pool? Here's where we stand going into tonight's show:
Kaycee Clark - Sharon N, Skyriverblue, Indiana Jane, Jenna G
Tyler Crispen - SueGee, Glenn Allen, Jessica Underwood-James, JennasMom
JC Monduix - Brenda, Delee, T-Town Chick, Willie J
Jury:
Bayleigh Dayton
Angie Rockstar Lantry
Faysal Fessy Shafaat
Scottie Salton
Haleigh Broucher
Brett Robinson
Sam Bledsoe
Angela Rummons
Hamster watchers ready?
Previously on ... Tyler promised to throw Kaycee the first part of the HoH and then into all the other stuff that made this such a great season!
Julie Chen-Moonves is with us, of course.
But first ... it's to Part One of the final HoH comp. JC thinks he has a final two with Tyler. Tyler and Kaycee have a plan ... she will win this part, he will win the next. Goop is squirted at them in their flying jet-packs. They're tilted horizontally and vertically. Uh-oh. JC is down! Kaycee is telling Tyler to drop. He tells us he would prefer to have his fate in his own hands. Kaycee goes down. Tyler wins the first part of the HoH!
Kaycee takes the loss well and wants to concentrate on winning the second part against JC.
Part Two -- A monument of Mount Evicted. Get a clue, one at a time climb up and place the faces, laser, ring bell. They have to do three rounds. Kaycee is having trouble remembering that Sam was evicted by a unanimous vote.
Kaycee - 18.55
JC - 19.34
Kaycee wins Part Two! She will face off with Tyler in Part Three.
The Jury Roundtable with Dr. Will is next after the commercials.
They discuss the final three. Angela hasn't arrived yet. They think either JC or Angela. We know it's the latter. The jurors are thrilled about JC winning HoH. Angela tells them that Kaycee and Tyler had a final two deal from the first day. Sam piped up that she and Tyler had one on day three. Angela pushes for Tyler over Kaycee winning because she (Kaycee) rode on Tyler's coattails. Rockstar thinks JC was running things. Bayleigh doesn't think JC was the best player -- she thinks Tyler played the best game. Haleigh and Scottie also think that.
Oh my. It looks like we might not have a bitter jury? Shocker! We'll just have to wait and see!
Time for part three of the HoH comp!
"Jury Oddcasts" videos of previous hamsters, then quizzed, eight videos.
1. Both get a point
2. Both get a point
3. Both get a point
4. Both get a point
5. Both get a point
6. Both get a point
7. Both got it wrong
8. Both got it wrong
To a tie-breaker --
KAYCEE wins the Final HoH!
She must choose to evict either Tyler or JC.
JC - Love you, not blindsliding me, appreciate it, you have a deal with Tyler, you have more risk taking Tyler.
Tyler - Love both of you, I know JC you feel heartbroken, Day One Coast to Coast alliance.
(They obviously told JC before the show.)
Kaycee evicts JC.
Kaycee and Tyler hug so much that they miss JC's photo going gray.
JC tells Julie that he was loyal to Tyler all along.
And ... we're into the jury questions for the final two --
Three questions for each finalist.
Haleigh - Tyler - Aside from winning comps, strategic moves. He talks of creating a following with Level 6, Sam and JC. Won the second power app, didn't tell anyone.
Brett - Kaycee - Aside from comp wins, what moves did you make. Kaycee -- my social game priority, create relationships.
Bayleigh - Tyler - Many of us sour taste from you on eviction. Tyler - apologizes to her. Nothing personal, needed people to think I had an enemy.
Angela - Kaycee - You won vetoes and didn't use them - What else? Relationships.
Sam - Tyler - Why should you win over Kaycee? Good relationships, knew what was going to happen every week, made plans, superfan.
Scottie - Kaycee - Why should you win over Tyler? Watched always, wanted to make relationships with everyone.
Final speeches --
Kaycee - Dream come true. Social game to advantage. Level 6 plus JC and Coast to Coast. Loyal game, never made promises, was herself. Little Peanut is totally nuts about this game.
Tyler - Knew big target, keeping superfandom secret, act confused, got power app, got Sam's friendship, made big moves, explained Brett biggest move. :ove you all.
They start the voting.
Bayleigh
Rockstar - You're both winners
Fessy
Scottie - Loyalty and respect
Haleigh - Decision after speeches
Brett - Proud Level 6
Sam - Proud of both and love both
Angela - Love you
JC - Quality over quantity
The pre-jury hamsters join the stage. Julie confirms that Angela and Tyler professed their love for each other. Tyler apologizes for not telling her about his final two with Kaycee. Both are looking forward to seeing each other. Fessy and Haleigh -- they say it's the real deal. Swaggy and Bayleigh -- both say they're still interested, Swaggy spent time with her family. Oh gosh, he gets on his knees and proposes. @@ She says yes. @@
The votes from the jury --
JC - Tyler
Angela - Tyler
Sam - Kaycee
Brett - Tyler
Haleigh - Tyler
Scottie - Kaycee
Fessy - Kaycee
Rockstar - Kaycee
Bayleigh - Kaycee
Kaycee wins BB20! Although I would have personally preferred a Tyler win, Kaycee played an excellent game, too. Congratulations to her! (And I note that outside of Haleigh, there did seem to be the voting block Scottie mentioned in his second shot at the house.)
AFP -
Haleigh, Brett and Tyler top three.
Tyler wins America's Favorite Houseguest! He says he thought everyone would hate him.
Great season!
Ross and Marissa will be doing the backyard interviews on Facebook live. I'm going to leave commenting on this post open for anyone who wants to discuss the interviews. However, after three hours of constant watching and typing, I'm done in. I'll be watching but not reporting.
Thank you all for this summer of fun and a special thank you to those who donated to the blog this summer!
