Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - August 3

"I suck at this game."

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Feast or Famine:

• Nah, I'm not talking Have Nots. I'm talking activity!
• The feeds were down for quite a time here after the live show on the East Coast.
• When they came back, Rockstar seemed beside herself and exiled herself in the storage room crying for a long time.
• Kaycee pointed out to the others that Rockstar had come so close to seeing photos of her kids; that's why she was so upset.
• JC said she cried after each HoH.
• I say, people who claim to miss their family so much should think twice about going on a three month long reality television show.
• I'm sorry. I'm mean. 
• When she finally did talk, she said she was a "math-tard."
• For the longest time, Bayleigh paced back and forth alone upstairs in the hallway, muttering to herself.
• Scottie and Fessy spent a lot of time looking confused.
• In contrast to the viewer excitement over the blindside and Rachel's Epic Exit, the hamsters themselves were quite subdued.
• By the way, all remaining hamsters have made jury.
• They are all happy with that. 
• Sam baked cookies because so many people were just moping around.
• Angela told Sam that she (Sam) can consider this week a vacation week and assured her safety.
• But Sam has a bug up her butt about Haleigh and feels that Haleigh will be all over Angela for the entire week.
• Oh. And Brett and Haleigh snuggled in the storage room. Well, after Rockstar vacated it, mind you.
• Oh, Brett! She voted for you to go home!
• Tyler told Fessy and Rockstar that Rachel told him about Bayleigh's power.
• Later on, Fessy kept saying he knew nothing about the power to Tyler. Tyler knows better.
• Remaining Level 6 plus JC sat and figured out that, no matter what happens, they will decide who leaves this week -- if the house sides vote a tie, it's Angela with the tiebreaker. Win-win.
• Scottie, Rockstar, Haleigh and Fessy all intermittently argued about who flipped. JC even got in that action and played off his part well!
• They apparently would rather think it was each other, not Tyler. Heh.
• Bayleigh ended up telling both Sam and Tyler separately all about her power -- including the fact it's good until the final eight.
• Bayleigh is still drinking Tyler's Kool-Aid. 
• The feeds cut out to BB reruns! A shot rang out! The maid screamed!
• Er, no. Okay. BB told them about the Hacker Comp in the feeds blockage.
• It seems that the Hacker winner can replace one hamster on the block and Bayleigh's power cannot override it.
• Angela thinks it diminishes her own HoH reign. I agree. Tyler pointed out to her that it also diminishes Bayleigh's power.
• Kaycee thinks the Hacker comps will be similar to the Roadkill ones a few seasons back. I would like that myself. Those were fun.
• In their talk, Tyler and Angela discussed flushing out Bayleigh's power by putting her up with Fessy. But then decided the best noms would be Rockstar and Fessy, telling Fessy he's the pawn and Scottie is the backdoor target.
• Tyler told Angela he plans to go for the win in the Hacker Comp.
• Angela did one-on-one talks and, if you just listen to it, it sounded like she and Bayleigh will be together to the end.
• I doubt it. If anything, she might try to backdoor Bayleigh this week. Her alliances are not with Bayleigh.
• So many are doing a good social/talking game this season! Tyler is going to be legendary. But JC and now even Angela are working it. And, then there's Sam who really does and says her own thing, but then makes each other hamster feel special.
• Well, I don't think she'll make Haleigh feel special this week, but ...!
• Oh, geez Sam.
• She called a house meeting and suggested they all refuse to play the Hacker Comp, let her win it and she will promise not to use it.
• @@
• Oh, that's just not gonna happen. Sam thinks it would put control of the game back in their hands. Others think it would just put it in her hands.
• Heck, they wouldn't even agree to vote on it!
• Meanwhile the Who Betrayed Whom Debate continued with Rockstar and Bayleigh. Bayleigh kept accusing Rockstar of having an alliance with Brett.
• Again, Tyler did not appear a suspect.
• Bayleigh, Rockstar and Haleigh still want their final three. Well, according to Bayleigh, that is.
• Rockstar cried some more.
• Sam tried to console Rockstar.
• Oh, but then Bayleigh and Haleigh "ganged up" on Rockstar.
• Bayleigh claims that Rockstar and Scottie are "masterminds of the game."
• So not so!
• Especially not Rockstar!
• In her one on one with Bayleigh, Bayleigh told Angela all about her power and said she wouldn't be using it unless Fessy goes on the block. Angela told her she's not going to be putting either her (B) or Fessy up -- she'll be putting up two people who have repeatedly had her name "in their mouths."
• Hmm ... is she implying Scottie and Haleigh? Scottie and Rockstar?
• Angela acted like Bayleigh's BFF. 
• Ha.
• In her talk with Fessy, she told him he's not a target and poked around for information that Scottie had been targeting her. He wouldn't say.
• In her talk with Scottie, he admitted trying to target her when talk was of putting Rachel and her on the block.
• He then said Rockstar was his real target. Angela agreed with that.
• In her (most likely honest) talk with Kaycee, Angela thinks she will put Scottie up as a pawn, Rockstar the target.
• They don't think anyone will save Rockstar with the veto.
• Angela wants the final four to be herself, Brett, Tyler and Kaycee.
• At least that's what she told Kaycee.
• And, it is all Level 6 -- if they can do it, this will be one of those legendary alliances in BB. 
• And on it goes ... 

You're safe this week, Sam.

What is happening?

Maybe they can be Brettleigh

Come see my HoH room!

Scrambling for cover

Scottie: "I'm like a junkyard dog."

Hamster watchers ready?

Oh my ... not Julie Chen's best look -- a red top that looks boxy! But first ... let's have a recap.

Julie tells us another blindside may be in the works. But to which side?  We get a bit of Queen's attitude from the Diary Room. But, she doesn't seem to see Tyler behind anything!

Rachel is freaking. Tyler goes to talk to Bayleigh, further cementing her trust in him. Ha. She thinks she has a new ally! Ha!

Kaycee and Angela are bothered by Rachel's behavior and think keeping Brett is a better idea. Of course, that's just what Tyler wanted them to think. Brett talks about the number of girls versus guys in the house to JC and Tyler.

Sam tells Tyler she'll do whatever he says. Scottie (of Bayleigh and Co.) is counting Tyler in with their vote to keep Rachel. Tyler has them fooled pretty darn well. 

Tyler tells Brett about Rachel telling Angela about Bayleigh's power. He's trying to think of a way to use that to his advantage. 

Fessy is a bit bugged that Brett and Haleigh are hanging out together. Haleigh tells Brett that she's not a "thing" with Fessy. She tells him she's "pro-Brett." We'll see how that goes.

The next segment will be Swaggy meeting Bayleigh's parents.

Whoa! That's some house she lives in! Her mother referred to her as Queen Bayleigh. Dad asks what his intentions are. He tells them that he loves her.  They seem to like him.

WARNING -- BAD THUNDERSTORMS COMING THROUGH HERE. IF I VANISH, I'M FINE -- HOPEFULLY MY POWER WILL STAY ON! 

To the living room!
Rachel -- Shout-outs to Jesus Christ and all! Hated be on the block next to you. I hope you vote to keep me. Love.
Brett -- Knows I was target, Rachel pawn. Tells of Rachel telling about the power app. All girls alliance Maneaters. 

The votes to evict:
Rockstar - Brett
Angela - Rachel
Kaycee - Rachel
Scottie - Brett
To commercial(s) ... 
Tyler - Rachel
Sam - Rachel
Fessy - Brett
JC - Rachel
Haleigh - Brett

They did it! Rachel is out! She runs out while Bayleigh and Rockstar's mouths are still hanging open! She remains surly, confused and mad throughout her Julie interview. She can't see where she did anything wrong. Angela left her a nasty goodbye message. She's shocked her alliance turned on her.

To the HoH comp - it's full of GIFs of things happening in the previous comps. on the memory wall shown earlier to the houseguests. GIF that keeps on giving. True or False questions. Seven questions.

1. Kaycee out
2. All right
3. JC out
4. Sam out
5. Only Rockstar, Haleigh and Angela were right.
6. Haleigh out
7. Both right ... to a tiebreaker

ANGELA IS THE NEW HOH! 

Julie announces a new twist -- a Hacker comp.

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - August 1

Tyler IS the In Crowd

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Mice:

• Today ended up being a day with drama and studying.
• Angela went to Bayleigh and told her that Rachel told her that she (Angela) was going to be targeted if the veto was used.
• Now, remember, Bayleigh did plant that seed and demanded Rachel keep mum.
• So, then there was drama over who said what and why is Rachel telling things that were told her in confidence.
• Rachel talked to Tyler who said he never wanted Angela targeted.
• It was meant to be a kerfuffle to get people wanting Rachel to go away instead of Brett.
• I don't know. Rachel is still all over Bayleigh, Haleigh, Rockstar and Fessy.
• She definitely has alienated her own bunch yet she's way bottom and not trusted by her new "allies."
• Bayleigh and Company still think it's going to be a landslide for Brett to go.
• Tyler still has his people in action trying to flip it.
• Rachel refused to tell Tyler if Bayleigh had the power app. Now, she had told Angela and Angela told him (and all of Level 6). So, by refusing to tell Tyler, Rachel has definitely crossed to the other side.
• I'm still not sure which of the two will go.
• At the moment I think it will be close with Rachel going.
• But that's subject to change.
• The yard stayed open this morning, thus they know it's not a big set-up for the HoH comp.
• They soon learned more about the upcoming comp.
• It's one of those with video and images they'll be questioned on.
• Time for all to study!
• But, first ... Sam had a breakdown.
• Apparently the video of the HoH wall comp she won was shown. 
• She thinks JC threw the comp and the "one comp I won on my own, I didn't!"
• Oh my gosh.
• Now, I'm a Sam fan. But geez ... talk about an overreaction!
• She yelled at JC. She yelled at Tyler. Then she yelled at JC some more. Then she cried to Brett.
• Gah!
• She decided to go to bed early and hasn't been studying with any of the study groups.

Why?

Rockstar disguised as a normal human

Besties now

C'mon, Sam. Calm down.

The job was dangerous when he took it

Big Brother 20: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 1

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 start out with the "previously on" segment. Who writes this stuff? Hey! I was calling her Queen before the show was! Royalties, I say.

We pick things up after the nominations ceremony. Bayleigh tells us Brett is her target and Rachel is a good pawn. She thinks she will be loyal to the end with her. Rachel, though she knows she's the pawn and said okay to it, cries to us from the Diary Room. 

Now she's crying to Kaycee. She tells Kaycee that she knows Brett is Bayleigh's target. 

Fessy tells JC that it's all due to him that JC isn't on the block.

Tyler goes to talk to Bayleigh ... he wants to make sure he's not on a backdoor plan. He tells her he will do whatever she wants if he wins the veto. He denies having the power when she asks. Heh. Tyler cracks me up. He hasn't told ANYONE about his power. 

JC tells Bayleigh that Fessy is taking all the credit for not nominating him. Sure enough, JC's plan to stir up Bayleigh/Fessy problems works! He's a good little instigator. 

Bayleigh drags Fessy out of bed and tells him he screwed up telling JC that stuff. She thinks it makes it look like he (Fessy) is ordering her around. 

Then it's Rachel going to the Queen. She thinks it's her doing that Brett will go home. She's coming up with all these reasons why she's so upset. Now Bayleigh is getting irked at Rachel. Oh my gosh! Rachel brought negative energy into the room and now it's all on Queen Bayleigh!

Veto player pick time! Bayleigh picks a Sam chip. Rachel picks a JC chip. Brett gets a Tyler chip. No Houseguest Choice chips pulled this week. 

Veto comp has them waiting in separate rooms. The backyard is done up like a little city. The Goober rideshare service. They have to pave the road across town. They have to, once the streets are paved, transport the evicted BB20 hamsters (not in real life) to a party. It's basically a giant puzzle. It's a timed comp.

Heh. Sam timed out. But they did do a black and white bit of her as Godzilla terrorizing the town. JC also timed out. Rachel times out. 

Bayleigh - 14.24
Brett - 10.59
Tyler - 6.51

TYLER wins the Power of Veto! 

Both nominees want him to save them. Tyler talks to Bayleigh and she wants them to remain on the block. Bayleigh is oblivious to the fact that Tyler is the lead of the other side. Bayleigh mentions Angela as the renom. He wants to work Scottie in as the renom if he uses the veto.

Rachel cries some more to Bayleigh. Bayleigh lies to Rachel about who Tyler wants up as a replacement. Rachel tells Angela. Angela knows that can't be real. She tells Kaycee, who also doesn't believe it. Kaycee goes to Tyler who truthfully denies it. Then he talks to Angela. They all think Rachel is lying when it was actually coming from Bayleigh. Now they want to maybe use the veto on Brett and think Rachel is blowing up their games.

Ooohhh! Rachel tells Angela of Bayleigh's power. Angela's lips are sealed ... NOT. She tells Tyler. Now he's in even more of a quandary over using the veto or not.

Veto meeting time. He does NOT use the veto.

Brett and Rachel remain on the block. 

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds into Tuesday Night - July 31

I didn't realize Sam's ears are gauged

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Squirrely Scamps:

• Please. I remind you all that I do NOT report on every little thing that happens in the house nor every breath they take.
• So, don't bother calling on me for leaving something out in anonymous comments. 
• Especially in anonymous comments. 
• Yeah, I'm a bit ticked. I am having some severe health issues and I'd rather not deal with it.
• If you've noticed, I don't keep a running tab on all the various alliances that come and go.
• That out of the way, again I report that "I SAW" little of any real substance in the house over the last 24 hours.
• Maybe "YOU SAW" more than I did.
• I'm sure you'll let me know and not by hitting that donate button.
• Sorry. I'm really off my regular self today.
• And I do thank the few who have donated this year. This season, it's especially needed and appreciated.
• Anyway ... back to the house ...
• Bayleigh continues to think the vote will either be unanimous or almost unanimous for Brett to go home.
• I'm thinking he might get sent packing, but no way will it be unanimous.
• Apparently the Diary Room dropped hints to Fessy and Bayleigh that Fessy was controlling her HoH.
• Um. No. She's quite controlling enough on her own, thank you. That just doesn't make sense.
• Rachel is still antsy roaming around confirming that she still has their votes.
• BB woke the hamsters up about an hour earlier than normal today even though it's a doldrums day with nothing to do.
• Maybe they just wanted to mess with them.
• JC continues to play up to Bayleigh's side while his actual loyalty seems to be with Tyler and Company.
• He's kind of playing with fire there.
• But Fessy likes him a lot.
• Fessy likes him more than he likes Haleigh these days.
• Fessy doesn't like the attention that Brett is giving Haleigh.
• But then, apparently before the feeds started up, Haleigh had some kind of thing with Swaggy? Oh my.
• If Rachel stays this week, Tyler considers her lost to Level 6.
• Oh my gosh. Sam was talking about Rockstar telling her that she misses looking at herself naked in the mirror. Just the thought burns my eyes.
• BB let Fessy talk for a good five minutes with a blanket bundled up against his mic while with JC and Bayleigh. The first time he said something I thought it was a muffled weird DR leak or something.
• Bayleigh and Brett actually talked. He promised not to come after her if he stays. She gave him a story about sincerely killing him if he does and hinted she might be changing her mind about wanting him out.
• I think we can say "lie."
• Sam is still a wild card for both groups as far as the vote goes.
• Scottie and Bayleigh think they're carrying both Rockstar and Haleigh as neither has won anything.
• Welp, they're their people!
• Tyler still has both Scottie and Bayleigh fooled. They think he's a lone wolf and they might be able to swing him over to their side.
• BWAHAHAHA! He's the one RUNNING the other side, fools!
• Scottie and Bayleigh think Rockstar and Haleigh have no clue how close they are with Tyler.
• Snicker.
• Fessy and Haleigh talked. They're still at odds. 
• And there ya go. 
• My apologies for snapping at y'all. Back surgery complications aren't an easy thing and make me grouchy at times. 

Scottie won't lose his virginity in this place

Brett and the Queen talk

Haleigh has little to do with Fessy now

Stop obstructing your mic!

Oh geez. Cover your mouth while yawning.
