Hi y’all!

So, with Faysal pretty much guaranteed to be voted out of the house on Thursday and the backyard closed off, the houseguests are doing what they can to keep themselves entertained.  Last night, that meant watching Sam straighten Tyler’s hair.

That’s right!  Tyler’s hair has been straightened and I personally don’t care too much for it.  Tyler’s curly hair was wild and sexy and fun.  His straight hair, on the other hand… well, let’s just say it’s not a great look for him.  His straight hair has no personality.  JC says that it makes Tyler look like a “40 year-old, independent woman.”  Some people think that Tyler, with straight hair, looks like Angela.  Personally, I think that straight-haired Tyler kinda resembles Sam with long hair.  Either way, it really doesn’t work.  Supposedly, Tyler was called to the diary room and told that he would have to go back to his old hair style, just for continuity reasons.  I’ve never been so happy for production interference.

(This entire season, I’ve been saying that I like Tyler because of his game play.  Now, I understand that it was just the hair.)

After Sam had straightened his hair, Tyler sat in the HoH with Brett, Angela, and JC and they all talked about how sick they’re getting of Sam.  Angela said that Sam was crazy and needs to go next.  Tyler said that he got so annoyed with her earlier that it was a struggle not to yell at her.  Brett said that he’s come close to going off on her.  What they didn’t realize is that, for some reason, an intercom in the HoH room was turned on and, as a result, their muffled voices could be heard downstairs.

And who happened to be downstairs when they were talking about how tired they are of Sam?

Sam, of course!

Now, there’s been a lot of speculation online about just how much Sam heard.  She definitely heard what Brett said about her because, earlier today, she talked to Brett about what he said.  He told her that he was sorry and that he was just frustrated at that particular moment and, of course, he’s not sick of her.  Sam and Brett shared a hug and everything seemed to be okay.

Then, a little bit later, Angela talked to Sam and assured her that they’re friends.  Sam said that she knew that and was very friendly but then, as soon as Angela looked away from her, Sam looked straight at the camera and kind of rolled her eyes.  Was Sam rolling her eyes because she heard Angela last night or just because she dislikes Angela in general?

It’s hard to say!  What I can say is that Sam doesn’t seem to be particularly upset about anythng tonight.  In fact, when last I checked, she was doing Brett’s hair while the rest of the house watched and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

While we don’t know for sure what Sam heard, we do know that Faysal will definitely be voted out on Thursday.  The only question is whether or not he’ll win the battleback and promptly return.

We’ll see what happens!

Hi, everyone!

Since all of the houseguests pretty much knows who is going to be evicted this week, it’s been a pretty lazy day in the Big Brother House.  They did have the veto meeting earlier today but it was mostly a formality.  Both Faysal and Haleigh knew that Kaycee wasn’t going to use the veto and that they would both still be on the block after the meeting.

Faysal has not been campaigning to stay in the house.  Instead, he’s spending most of his time sulking in the Have Not Room.  Realizing that she needs to improve her standing in the House if she’s going to avoid being voted out next week, Haleigh’s been a lot more friendly and social today.  Faysal isn’t particularly happy that Haleigh is talking to the other side of the house while Haleigh isn’t happy that Faysal’s been isolating himself.  They had their daily argument about it earlier today.

Haleigh has been attempting to ingratiate herself with both Brett and Angela.  In fact, Haleigh and Angela just had a long conversation about Sam.  Both Haleigh and Angela agreed that Sam is unpredictable and that her crush on Brett makes her difficult to deal with.  Apparently, Sam made some sort of comment about Angela always following Tyler and Brett around the house and Angela took it personally.  Haleigh, meanwhile, is still mad about what Sam said in her nomination speech, way back in week 3 of the game.

It’s kind of obvious that Haleigh is hoping to shift the target off of her and onto Sam.  At the same time, I think that Angela is hoping that, if Haleigh does win HoH, Haleigh will also target Sam.

Finally, the backyard is now closed.  The houseguests have been told that it will be closed until Thursday.  They all now know that something is going to happen on Thursday’s show.  Faysal told Haleigh that he thinks it’s going to be a battleback but I don’t know if the rest of the house has figured that out yet.  If they do, would that cause them to rethink evicting a challenge threat like Faysal?

As always, we’ll see what happens!

Hi y’all!

So, after spending most of today pouting because he not only lost the veto but he lost it to a girl (at least, I think that’s a part of what’s got Faysal so upset), Faysal finally approached Kaycee and tried to convince her to use the veto on either himself or Haleigh.

Unfortunately for him, it didn’t really go that well.  Even though Faysal has finally figured out that Tyler, Kaycee, Angela, and Brett are all in an alliance, he still doesn’t seem to understand just how close the four of them are.  Earlier today, he and Haleigh agreed that Kaycee was probably on the “outside of the alliance” and at the lowest end of the totem pole. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.  Kaycee is not only close to Angela but she has a final two deal with Tyler.

(Of course, Sam, Angela, and Brett all have final two deals with Tyler as well.)

Faysal spent a lot of time making his pitch to Kaycee, telling her that she has to make her own moves if she wants to win the game.  Faysal told her, “Haleigh and me are probably not coming after you.”  (Why he said “probably,” I don’t know.  “Probably” isn’t very reassuring.)  Finally, Faysal continually told her, “You won that veto.  Not Angela.”  Kaycee nodded through most of the conversation and kept saying, “Yeah.”

Anyway, after the conversation, Kaycee promptly went to Angela and Tyler and told them all about Faysal’s pitch to her and they all had a good laugh.  As Kaycee put it, Faysal and Haliegh have a way of always making you want to do the exact opposite of whatever it is that they want.  Kaycee also said that, whenever Faysal said that Angela didn’t win the veto, Kaycee wanted to reply with, “Neither did you.”

So, Kaycee will not be using the veto tomorrow and Faysal is very much the target.  Angela and Kaycee also discussed the possibility of a battleback and agreed that they don’t think it’s going to happen.  At most, they think they might have a double eviction on Thursday!

As for Faysal and Haleigh, Faysal thinks that he might have made some headway with Kaycee.  Haleigh is pretty sure that he didn’t but then again, she’s also been told that she’s not the target so she’s cheered up considerably over the past day.

As for tonight’s show on CBS, I notice that the editors are really pushing the idea of JC as the puppet master.  The show was edited to make it appear as if nominating Faysal and Haleigh was JC’s idea.  Actually, Angela and Tyler decided on the nominations long before JC came to talk to them.  As opposed to last week, JC’s influence over the current HoH has been pretty much negligible.

The veto meeting’s tomorrow and we’ll see what happens!

Wow!

Okay, I’m not sure if that veto set a record for being the longest comp in Big Brother History or not but the feeds were down for a very, very long time.  The feeds went down in the afternoon and they were still down when Big Brother After Dark started.  For a while there, BBAD was showing Tyler and Brett sitting in the HoH room and making a final two deal while the feeds were still showing episodes from Big Brother past.

But anyway, 9 or so hours after they went down, the feeds are finally back and…

KAYCEE WON THE VETO!

Faysal is upset.  He says that he can’t believe that he “lost by 1 point.”  I’m not sure what the comp was but I do know that everyone but Tyler and Brett played.  And, of course, Kaycee won.  In all probability, that means that the noms will stay the same and I assume Faysal will be voted out on Thursday.  Of course, he’ll have a chance to reenter the house with the battle back!

Again, sorry for the short update but there were literally no feeds today.

Hi y’all!

So, Angela has pulled the trigger.  When she first won HoH, her plan was to nominate Haleigh and Sam for eviction and keep Faysal in mind as a backup but, last night, she realized that if Faysal won veto, he would take Haleigh off the block and then both of them safe for the week.

So, after assuring Faysal that she was planning on nominating Haleigh and Sam and that Sam was the target, Angela went ahead and nominating both Faysal and Haleigh for eviction.

I have to admit that I was expecting the feeds to come back with Haleigh blaming everything on Faysal and Faysal transforming into the Incredible Hulk and destroying the sink (again) while yelling, “Faysal smash!”  But no, actually, Fasyal seems to be taking it all pretty calmly.  He told JC that he knows that this is just a game.

As of right now, Haleigh seems to understand that either she or Faysal is going to jury on Thursday.  Faysal is still talking about what will happen if they win the veto.  Faysal believes that Sam will be the replacement nominee and, if she is, Faysal believes that they can convince JC and Brett to flip.  Faysal has finally figured out that the rest of the house has an alliance but he still doesn’t understand that Brett is one of the main members of the alliance.  Faysal thinks that the Brett is “the lowest person on the totem pole.’

As of right now, Faysal appears to be the target.  That’ll create an interesting situation on Thursday with the Battleback.  I’m convinced that Scottie could probably easily beat Bayleigh, Rockstar, and Haleigh but could he beat Faysal?  Though Level 6 doesn’t know it, they’re best move right now might be to vote out Haleigh.

Then again, regardless of who wins the Battleback, they’ll still be reentering a house that is divided 6 to 2.  So, unless something major happens, it’s not really a question of Level 6 getting rid of Faysal and Haleigh.  Intead, it’s just a question of whether it will take two or three weeks for them to do so.

We’ll see what happens!  The veto is tomorrow!

Hi y’all!

So, we’re sitting here waiting to find out who the new HoH is and it could be a very long wait.  The feeds are down and, according to some inside sources on twitter, the HoH comp keeps getting paused because of broken props.  So, we might be in for a very long wait…

(Or maybe not!  The feeds came on just as I was finishing my first draft of this post so read on to see who won HoH!)

So, just to make it official, here’s what happened tonight:

Scottie is the newest member of the jury.  It was a unanimous vote, 6-0.  However, Scottie will get a chance to return because next week, there’s going to be a battleback between the four latest evicted houseguests, Bayleigh, Rockstar, Scottie, and whoever get voted out next.  I’m pretty sure Scottie could beat both Bayleigh and Rockstar.  So, it’ll probably depend on who is voted out next.

(I have some issues with the battleback.  Julie let Bayleigh know the names of everyone who voted against her and also let her see the goodbye messages that revealed the existence of Level 6.  Typically, when the houseguests go to jury, they’re not supposed to know that info.)

I imagine that, after the battleback, the next week will be a double eviction.  That’s the way things usually seem to work.

Anyway, I wish I had more to add but until the feeds come back and we discover who the new HoH is, that’s pretty much it and .. oh wait.  The feeds are back.

ANGELA IS THE NEW HOH!

Now, I know that Angela was talking about nominating Sam and Haleigh for eviction so we’ll have to see if she follows through on that plan or if Tyler convinces her to do something else.  Angela was saying that she wants Sam out but I think Tyler might want to keep Sam around as a vote.

Either way, Tyler is pretty much safe this week, which means his cloud power will expire without him having had to use it.

Okay, it’s that time again!

It’s time open up the Diary Room!

It’s the final 24 hours of Faysal’s HoH and it’s time to cast your vote to evict!

Do you vote for…

KAYCEE, the pawn

or

SCOTTIE, the victim?

Hi y’all!

So, earlier today, we had some very brief excitement in the Big Brother House.  This morning, around 10:50 Big Brother Time, the houseguests were in the backyard when they heard a few people yelling something at them from the other side of the fence.  The feeds immediately went down and, when they returned, the houseguests were on lockdown inside of the house.

From what I’ve read on twitter, it would appear that a few Hive fans managed to get past security and were trying to yell to the houseguests that they shouldn’t trust JC.  This seems to happen every season and it hardly ever works.  It doesn’t appear that any of the current houseguests understood what was being yelled.

(I miss the days when people would fly banner planes over the house.  To me, that seems a lot more effective than trying to yell things over the fence.)

Otherwise, it’s been a pretty lazy day in the house.  Faysal stayed in bed for most of the afternoon.  Scottie has asked Haleigh if he could talk to her later but otherwise, he’s spent most of today talking sports in the back yard.  He knows he’s getting voted out on Thursday and, as he told Haleigh yesterday, his main plan right now is to hope that there’s a jury battleback.

Brett has told Angela that he’s feeling paranoid about the possibility of there being a battleback.  He told her that they both probably needed to stop being so mean in their goodbye messages because occasionally a juror is allowed to return to the house.  Angela replied that her goodbye message to Bayleigh wasn’t mean and, in her opinion, she wasn’t that mean to Rockstar.  Brett replied that all of his goodbye messages have been extremely mean.

(For the record, I doubt there’s going to be a battleback, specifically because Julie didn’t tell either Bayleigh or Rockstar that they would get a chance to reenter the house.)

As for what’s going to happen after Scottie’s gone, Faysal and Haleigh seem to think that they have an alliance going with Tyler and Angela.  (Faysal has also said that he thinks Thursday is going to be a double eviction.  It’s not but presumably, there should be one coming up sometime soon.)  Angela has told Tyler that she wants Sam to go next.  Her plan is to nominate both Sam and Haleigh for eviction, with Sam as the target.

(Tyler told Angela that he’s okay with that but whether or not that’s true is anyone’s guess.)

Speaking of Sam, she has decided that she is going to quit smoking this week.  She says that, tomorrow, she’s going to give production all of her cigarettes and they’re going to give her the patch.  Personally, I think that’s a huge mistake on her part.  Stop smoking in the jury house, Sam.  Seriously, the last thing that Sam needs right now is a reason to go even more crazy inside the house.

Hi y’all!

Well, there was a lot of wild speculation about what Faysal would do today at the veto ceremony.  After Brett won the veto, Faysal said that he’d probably nominate Kaycee as a replacement.  Faysal’s main goal this week is to get Scottie out of the house and apparently, Kaycee has become everyone’s new favorite pawn.

But then yesterday, Sam started badgering him to nominate Haleigh as the replacement.  There was a lot of speculation online that this could lead to Faysal nominating Sam instead of Kaycee.  Or that Haleigh might try to talk him into nominating Tyler.  There was even some speculation that Brett might feel so secure that he wouldn’t even use the veto.

The speculation was fun but, in the end, that’s all it was.  Brett did use the veto.  And Faysal went ahead and nominated Kaycee as the replacement.  As a result, it now looks pretty certain that Scottie will be going to the jury on Thursday.  Even Scottie seems to have accepted that there’s no hope.  Today, he told Haleigh that his current strategy is to go to jury and hope that there will be a jury battleback.

Sam was upset over what happened at the veto ceremony, mostly because she actually thought that she had managed to talk Faysal into nominating Haleigh.  Sam told Tyler that she felt that the rest of the house should have worked with her to get Faysal to put Haleigh on the block.  Sam went on to say that she thought she was trying to play the game but apparently, she hasn’t been playing the game.  (If that confuses you, don’t worry.  I’m not sure what that means, either.)  But anyway, Sam went on to declare that she was taking a vow of silence for the next 24 hours.  She managed to go four hours without speaking.

After the ceremony, JC asked Faysal what he would do if Haleigh voted for Tyler to stay.  Faysal replied that, if that happened, he would dump Haleigh and never trust her again.  So, don’t be surprised if JC casts a vote for Scottie, just to cause some trouble in paradise.
