Big Brother 20: A Night Of Firsts

Hi y’all!

If you haven’t seen tonight’s episode of Big Brother, everything below this sentence is pretty much going to be a SPOILER!  So, if you don’t want to know what happened tonight before you actually get a chance to see it for yourself, stop reading now.

Okay?

Okay!

So, tonight was a night of firsts.

We got our first HoH.  Tyler won the Head of Household competition.  Only the 8 houseguests who were eligible for eviction — Bayleigh, Tyler, Winston, Angela, JC, Steve, Kaitlyn, and Sam — were allowed to compete.  It was basically one of those competition where the houseguests had to run across a narrow beam and drop balls into plastic tubes.  Each tube represented a different player and if that tube got filled up with balls, the houseguest was eliminated.

(Big Brother always leads to me writing the most interesting of sentences.)

During the competition, Winston and Angela teamed up.  Bayleigh and Tyler teamed up.  JC specifically went out of his way to try to get eliminated.  Kaitlyn was pretty much a nonfactor.  Sam felt that everyone was working against her.  As for Steve, he kept falling off of the beam.  Ultimately, Tyler won HoH.

(Bayleigh was not happy about Tyler winning, largely because he started putting balls in her plastic tube before they had eliminated JC.  Bayleigh should be thankful.  The first HoH always gets a huge target on their back.)

Not only did we get our first HoH but we also got our first two alliances.

The Five bonded over Kaitlyn’s “life coaching” sessions and are made up of Chris, Angie, Kaitlyn, Haleigh, and Faysal.  Chris is also known as Swaggy C and Angie wants people to call her Rockstar.  I think I’ll continue to call them Chris and Angie.

The other alliance — which doesn’t have a name yet — is made up of Winston, Rachel, Brett, Angela, and Kaycee.  It’s basically a pretty person’s alliance.  Winston and Brett appear to have a pretty strong bromance going so we’ll have to see how long that lasts.

Both alliances immediately started to try to work on Tyler and, as of right now, Tyler seems more likely to join with Winston’s group than with Chris’s.  Chris was hoping that Tyler would take out a potential power player like Angela or Winston but, instead, Tyler nominated…

STEVE AND SAM!

I’m not surprised to see Steve nominated.  He’s the oldest guy in the house and he doesn’t seem to have much of a social game.  I feel bad for Sam because she had to spend the majority of the episode rolling around in robot form.  As a result, Sam has not been able to make any alliances or really even get to know anyone else in the house.  Her punishment seems totally out of proportion with Kaycee’s.  I mean, Kaycee is basically having to wear an ugly costume.  Sam, meanwhile, can’t even socialize.  Doesn’t seem fair.

So, to recap:

Our first HoH is Tyler.

Our first alliances are The Five vs. Winston’s group.

Sam and Steve are our first nominees.
