Hi y’all!

So, as you’ve probably either heard or seen, the feeds were down for several hours today.  There was a lot of speculation that someone might have self-evicted or maybe JC had been kicked out but instead, it turned out that a bunch of former HGs showed up at the house, including Nicole and Victor.  Victor asked Nicole to marry him and she said yes.

I imagine that the majority of Sunday’s show will be taken up with the whole Victor/Nicole thing, kind of like when Jeff and Jordan returned to the Big Brother House to get engaged.  So, if you’re a fan of Victor and Nicole, you might enjoy it.  Myself, I’m just cringing because I’ve heard that Paul and Josh were among the former houseguests who showed up at the house today.

Anyway, once all that was taken care of, Kaycee made her nominations and they’re not a shock at all.  I did think that Kaycee would nominate JC instead of Sam but no.  Instead, Sam and Haleigh are up on the block together and this time, Haleigh is definitely the target.  Depending on what happens with the veto, I imagine that this week will be full of tears.  Haleigh already said that she was probably going to have a nervous breakdown if she had to go on the block again and Sam is always paranoid about being blindsided.

The veto’s tomorrow!  If Haleigh doesn’t win it, she’ll be the first one voted out on Thursday.

Hi y’all!

So, there was a lot of fanfare and excitement when Scottie returned to the house.  And now, one week later, Scottie has once again exited the house.  Every single houseguest — even Sam — voted to evict him.  By a vote of 5-0, Scottie was evicted for second time.  He entered with a bang and left with a whimper.

Before he left, Scottie used his eviction speech to make a comment about Angela giving Tyler “lots of Hilton Head.”  I’m going to guess that 1) Scottie was informed, shortly before the show, that he actually wasn’t the pawn and that 2) Scottie is probably going to be a bitter juror.  Tyler’s goodbye message to Scottie — in which he bragged about never using the power app and then asked Scottie to pass that information along to his friends on the jury — felt incredibly smarmy.  All in all, this was one of the more unpleasant evictions that we’ve had this season.

As for the HoH comp, it was won by Kaycee!  Kaycee has really been coming on strong these past few weeks.  She’s won hacker, she’s won two vetoes, and now she’s won HoH.  She’s actually putting together a pretty good resume for herself.  It’ll be interesting to see if the other members of Level 6 start to view her as being a possible threat to their own game.

Anyway, Kaycee is now HoH and, since she’s a loyal team player, I assume that her target with Haleigh.  Who will she put on the block next to Haleigh?  JC seems like the obvious choice, since he’s the only person in the house who hasn’t been nominated so far.  Sam’s the other possibility but I don’t think anyone wants to spend the entire week dealing with an angry Sam.

Now, it all seems pretty simple but you have to remember that Brett is getting paranoid about Tyler and Angela.  If he tries to make a move this week and convince Kaycee to blindside Tyler and Angela, it could get interesting but I get the feeling that Brett will probably play it safe and wait until after Haleigh’s been evicted before he tries anything.

Finally, next Thursday is going to be the season’s only double eviction!  It’s about time!

Hi y’all!

Well, despite some of the doubt that Tyler and Angela expressed about keeping Haleigh last night, it would appear that they’ve decided to just stick with targeting Scottie this week.  Kaycee was just up in the HoH room with them and she asked them point blank if they were going to blindside Scottie this week.

Tyler replied, “I guess.”

“It’s what we’re good at,” Angela agreed.

So, it would appear that Scottie is about to head back to the jury house.  He’s been told that he’s just the pawn this week and that Haleigh is the target but Scottie is still campaigning to be kept in the house.  From what I’ve seen today, he’s been focusing most of his efforts on Brett and JC.  Scottie has been telling both of them about how Haleigh had deals with everyone in the jury house and that, if she manages to get to the end, all of the former members of the Hive will vote for her.  He has a point but I think everyone feels that they can get rid of Haleigh any time that they want.

(Angela is also convinced that, even if Haleigh wins HoH on Thursday, Sam will be Haleigh’s target.)

JC, for the record, did flat out ask Scottie if Faysal said anything about who had convinced him to target Scottie in the first place.  Scottie replied that Faysal tried to blame JC but Scottie assumed that he was just lying to protect Haleigh.  Now, I doubt that Scottie really believes that but obviously, he’s trying to stay on JC’s good side.

Not surprisingly, everyone in the house has been asking Scottie about how Bayleigh and Rockstar feel towards the rest of them.  Apparently, despite all of the nasty goodbye messages, the houseguests do realize that there is a risk of getting a bitter jury.  According to Scottie, Bayleigh is okay with everyone while Rockstar is apparently still angry and still talking about spoiled and entitled Angela is.  Of course, Scottie has continually been reminding everyone that all three of the current jury members would probably vote for Haleigh to win the game.

For what it’s worth, I do think that Haleigh could still make it to the final two.  Though the plan is to evict her next week, Haleigh could always win HoH and there are some cracks starting to form in the Level 6 alliance.  As Margie pointed out in the comments under the last post, Brett is feeling threatened by the relationship between Angela and Tyler and he’s considering breaking off and forming a new alliance with Haleigh, Sam, and JC.  If Brett makes that move, it could lead to so much fighting among the members of the Level 6 that they might forget about Haleigh and she could conceivably sneak her way into the finale.

Will Scottie be blindsided or will the house realize that, even if she isn’t a challenge threat, Haleigh is a threat if she makes it to the final two?  We’ll find out soon!

Hi y’all!

Once again, due to the holiday, this is going to be a short update.  I was out for most of the day and I’ve only now really gotten a chance to get caught up with today’s live feeds.

The big event of the day was the veto ceremony.  As was expected, Kaycee did not use the veto and Haleigh and Scottie are still on the block.  Apparently, everyone knew there was no chance that Kaycee was going to use the veto so it was a pretty relaxed meeting.  Scottie and Haleigh both apparently gave “funny” speeches.  Haleigh has never struck me as having that sharp of a sense of humor so I guess we’ll have to wait until Wednesday to see just how witty she was.

Up until today, I was 99% confident that the rest of the House would stick to the original plan and that Scottie would be voted out on Thursday.  However, Haleigh is getting on everyone’s nerves.  She seems to be really worried that she’s going to be blindsided and she keeps seeking reassurances that she won’t be.  It doesn’t help that Scottie told her that Tyler told him that Haleigh was his target.

Tyler has assured Haleigh that Scottie is the target but, just a few minutes ago, he was talking to Angela and he said that Haleigh has gotten really annoying.  They agreed that if Haleigh told Scottie that he was the actual target then they should go ahead and blindside Haleigh this week.

So, as of right now, it would appear that it all depends on Haleigh.  If Haleigh keeps quiet and continue to allow Scottie to think that she’s the target, she’ll be safe.  If she tells Scottie that he’s actually the target, then she could be voted out this week.  Either way, it would appear that someone is going to get blindsided.

Speaking of blindsided, Angela and Tyler aren’t doing a very good job of hiding their showmance.  JC is getting paranoid about them.  (I also think JC, like Sam, is a bit jealous that Tyler is spending all of his time with someone else.)  So, there’s now a chance that JC might turn on Tangela.  Wouldn’t it be ironic if Tyler’s game collapsed for the same reason that Swaggy and Faysal’s games collapsed?  Showmances are the kiss of death this season!

That’s it for now!

Hi y’all!

Well, I seriously thought that I was going to take this weekend off from the blog.  I figured that it wouldn’t matter since this is a holiday weekend and we already know that Kaycee isn’t going to use the veto and that Scottie’s the target.  I figured it would be safe to not post this Sunday.

However, I just checked in with the house and I saw something that I simply have to report.  It probably won’t change the outcome of the vote on Thursday but Haleigh is campaigning hard.  In fact, she might be campaigning a little bit too hard.  She seems to be totally paranoid that she’s going to be blindsided this week and sent to the jury (where, of course, she’d be reunited with Faysal).  Remember what happened when Rachel got paranoid that she was going to be blindsided?  She got so desperate and annoying that everyone decided to go ahead and vote her out.

Ever since Faysal was voted out, Haleigh’s been telling everyone that she never had any idea what Faysal was going to do before he did it and that he and she never really discussed strategy.  I can understand her logic here.  After the previous three weeks, there’s nothing to be gained from being linked to Faysal or any other member of the Hive.  The only problem is that Haleigh isn’t as convincing as she thinks she is.  She’s repeated this story so many times that it’s just reminding people that she can’t be trusted.  (Fortunately, for her, no one trusts Scottie either.)

When I got home tonight and turned on the feeds, the first thing I saw was Haleigh in Tyler’s HoH room.  Haleigh was, not surprisingly, saying that she was freaking out and asking Tyler to assure her that she wasn’t the target.  She also told him that Scottie is bitter and can’t be trusted and is plotting on targeting Tyler and Angela.  In Haleigh’s telling, Scottie is basically the most dangerous person to ever enter the Big Brother House.

Then suddenly, Haleigh blurted out that, after Angela won HoH, Haleigh spotted Tyler, Angela, Kaycee, and Brett celebrating together.  Haleigh went on to say that it made it look as if they had a four-member alliance.  Tyler just played dumb but, being the type of player that Tyler is, I imagine that there are alarm bells going off in his head.  What if Haleigh were to go to Sam and JC and tell them that Tyler in in a final four deal with Kaycee, Angela, and Brett?

In short, I don’t know what Haleigh’s thinking.  Right now, she should be trying to lay low and let Scottie dig his own grave.  Instead, she’s running upstairs and giving Tyler an excuse to target her!

Now, to be clear, I don’t think Tyler’s necessarily going to change his mind.  I imagine that Scottie will remain the target but still, if something does happen and Haleigh’s voted out on Thursday, it’ll be because of what she said tonight.

We’ll see what happens!

Hi, y’all!

Because of the holiday weekend, I’m going to have to keep this post short.  Fortunately, there’s really nothing new to report, beyond the veto comp results.

They played for the veto earlier today.  The players in the comp were Tyler, Haleigh, Scottie, Kaycee, Sam, and JC.  The feeds just come back from the comp and the winner of the Golden Power of Veto is … KAYCEE!

(So, by the standards that were earlier set by Faysal, Kaycee is now officially a comp beast.)

I’m not sure what the comp was exactly but Haleigh was just saying that JC came very close to winning.  What comp could JC win?  I guess it could have been the one where they have to unscramble the faces but that veto usually takes a lot longer than tonight’s did.  I guess we’ll find out soon.

Anyway, what does this mean for the House?  Not much.  Kaycee isn’t going to use the veto, which means that Haleigh and Scottie will remain on the block and Scottie will probably return to the jury house on Thursday.  I think Scottie is the first houseguest since Kaysar to return to the house and then get voted out just one week later.

Have a safe holiday weekend, everyone!

Hi y’all!

Okay, so here’s what happened after Scottie reentered the house.

The HoH comp was that thing where they have to hold onto a robe while being spun around and hit by random objects and whoever was the last person to fall off would be the new HoH.  It ultimately came down to Tyler and Haleigh.  While the two of them were spinning around, Sam started to cheer for Tyler and encouraging him to hold on.  This massively ticked off Haleigh, which would have been bad news for Sam except that Haleigh finally ended up falling before Tyler.

So, Tyler became the new HoH.  Level 6 continues to hold all the power in the house.  As soon as Tyler won, he let his alliance know that he was going to nominate Haleigh and Scottie for eviction, with Scotttie as the main target.  (Tyler feels that Scottie can’t be trusted and he also thinks that Haleigh can be easily manipulated.)

They did the nomination ceremony earlier today and Haleigh and Scottie are both now officially on the block.  Scottie is handling it a better than Haleigh, which is interesting since Haleigh isn’t even the target this week.  When last I checked, Haleigh was in the HoH room, telling Kaycee that she’s on the verge of “going off” on Sam.  Haleigh, of couse, has been angry at Sam ever since Sam’s nomination speech way back during week 3.  Haleigh says that Sam keeps making little comments about her and the fact that she cheered for Tyler while Haleigh was fighting for life in the house was apparently the last straw.

So, I imagine that as soon as Haleigh gets her hands on a bottle of wine, we’ll have another fight in the Big Brother House.

We’ll see what happens!  Have a great and safe Labor Day weekend, everyone!

Hi y’all!

So, I know that some of you won’t get to see tonight’s episode of Big Brother until later because there’s a football game going on in your area.  If that’s the case, be warned that I will not only be revealing who was voted out tonight but also who won the battleback to return to the house.  Consider this to be your … (dramatic voice) SPOILER ALERT!

Anyway, to the surprise of no one, Faysal was voted out of the house.  After spending the whole week promising that he was going to set the house on fire with his eviction speech, he instead just blandly accused Angela of targeting everyone else in the House.  As for Haleigh’s eviction speech, she was cheerful because 1) she knew she wasn’t going anywhere and 2) she’ll no longer have Faysal weighing her down with his petulant social game.

The final vote was 4-1.  Only Sam voted for Faysal, though I’m sure Faysal will think that one vote came from JC.  (In JC’s goodbye message, JC was careful to avoid revealing how he actually voted.)  Faysal seemed just as confused upon leaving the house as when he entered it.  After an awkward interview with Julie, he discovered that he was going to have a chance to reenter the house because it was time for the BATTLEBACK!

And when I first learned what they were going to be doing for the Battleback, I thought that Faysal might very well win it.  Basically, they had to run from one side of the backyard to another, grab a ball, and then drop the ball into a funnel.  The first person to get four balls in their funnel would win the battleback.  Faysal was competing against Bayleigh, Rockstar, and Scottie and it seemed like something that an athlete like Faysal should have been able to win…

…however, that didn’t happen!

Faysal got off to a good start but, as the comp went on, he started to have trouble dropping the balls into the funnel.  Instead, it was Scottie who got four balls in his funnel first and it was Scottie who reentered the house!

Before reentering the house, Scottie told Julie that his original plan had been to get back together with Faysal and Haleigh.  But since Faysal is now gone, Scottie’s new plan is to try to form an alliance with Tyler.  He also said that, if he wins HoH, his targets would probably be Angela and JC.  (Scottie is especially mad at JC because, right before the battleback started, Faysal told Scottie that JC was the one who talked Faysal into nominating him.)

So, Scottie’s back in the house and, at the very least, everyone pretended to be excited.  When last I checked, he telling everyone about the jury house and being interviewed by Ross and Marissa.  JC was being very, very quiet, which is rare for him.

Production is currently setting up the HoH comp.  It probably won’t start for another two hours and it’s an endurance comp so who knows how long it will last.  I really wish that they had already done the HoH comp because that would give me an excuse to write about something other than JC but they haven’t so here we go.

JC is gross.  If you’ve only watched the CBS show, you might be under the impression that he’s just a funny little guy who is good at convincing people to do stuff.  The truth of the matter is that, from the day they first entered the house, JC has gone out of his way to make people uncomfortable and whenever he’s gotten called out, he’s responded by acting like he’s the victim.

The latest JC controversy started on Tuesday night when he climbed into bed with Tyler.  Tyler asked JC to sleep somewhere else.  JC didn’t move.  Tyler fells asleep, at which point JC caressed and kissed Tyler’s arm.

Then, on Wednesday night, JC opened the door while Haleigh was in the bathroom and then refused to close it, even while Haleigh shouted at him.  This led to the feeds promptly going down.  When they came back up, Sam was telling JC that his behavior was inappropriate and JC was once again pouting.

Today, Haleigh mentioned to Faysal that Alison Grodner had come down to the house and spoken to her personally about JC and his behavior.  JC was called to the diary room several times and apparently told that he has to respect people’s private space if he’s going to be in the house.  For their part, both Haleigh and Tyler say that they’ve forgiven JC and they don’t want him kicked out of the house.

So, while JC’s been getting the best edit of any houseguest not named Tyler on the CBS show, a lot of live feeders have been complaining that JC should have been kicked out of the house for his behavior.  Myself, I think JC’s a little creep and this is hardly the first time that production’s had to talk to him.  Personally, I’m kinda hoping that Scottie wins HoH and JC finally goes on the block.

We’ll see what happens!
