Thank you! Yes I have 10 days until I’m back to school. Have a terrific school year!

I was just pondering that issue last night. When it comes to finale and Tyler says I flipped Kaitlin to vote Steve out, I’m the one that convinced Kaitlin to put Soggy up...will these Foute people believe him? He’s done such a great job of making himself seem like the beta and Kaitlin the alpha. However, it’s jury house so the level 6 people that have gone out will spill on all the work they did as a team including what Tyler has accomplished so...

It’s time to get fully up to speed before the tsunami of rage hits the BB house tomorrow post veto ceremony. I am sorry it’s taken a few days to get all caught up but I’m going to give this my best shot! Things have been picking up pace since the most recent Foute blindside that sent Rachel storming out of the game! Add the new Hacker twist and by Sunday’s episode tonight the game has made so many twists and turns we all have whiplash! Here we go! The reactions on Thursday night when Rachel leaves are all over the map! L6 is dancing and celebrating secretly. Foute turns on each other now convinced it must be one of their own flipping week after week. Bayleigh goes on a rampage accusing each member of Foute of voting to evict Rachel. Faysal thinks it’s Angie. Haleigh is lost. It’s messy and glorious feeds! Before the night progresses to much the feeds for down and the new Hacker Twist is released to the HG. HG were informed of a new twist after the live show (feeds were down). The Hacker App will last for two weeks. It sound like a mix of the road kill twist and diamond veto. As far as we can tell from listening to the players discussing the reveal: An individual competition will happen after nominations are made, but before veto it played. The winner will be informed anonymously that they won the hacker app. Then the power holder can: Change one of the nominations naming the replacement (includes replacing themselves if they are a nominee). Name one person to play in the veto Nullify one eviction vote on eviction night As we eventually see on Sunday’s episode Haleigh ultimately won the hacker comp! She removes Scottie and replaces him with Tyler OTB! According to Haleigh she is in fact targeting Tyler because she says he floats and hasn’t felt any heat and it’s time he did. We will come back around to my analysis of her decision. What’s important to note now was everyone’s reactions to him being nominated anonymously. Basically the entire house reacts by wanting to rescue the lifeguard for a change. The good news is this only lasts two weeks. The bad news is this lasts the same period that both Tyler and Bayleigh’s apps are still valid. Homey say what? Yes! To me it almost feels like it’s meant to basically make Bayleigh’s power significantly less powerful. In the event she were to use it while hacker app is in play the hacker could then potentially put Bayleigh OTB. What she doesn’t realize is the hacker app will in fact play a key role in sending her home this week. Too bad she didn’t use it this week. With Haleigh winning Foute would have had more power than the current HOH Angela. Post eviction night Bayleigh stomped around the house aggressively accusing people in her own alliance of being the mole. After 4 blindsides you’d think they would figure out their four are strong it’s the miscellaneous floaters flipping their votes. Why is it easier for Bayleigh and Faysal to believe the rat is someone inside the alliance and not outside? It’s absurd! Here’s the clip of Bayleigh going in on Angie. Bayleigh absolutely should have used her power app this week. She knows it’s been exposed. She has to at least speculate this could make her a bigger target. If she had used it, Haleigh won the hacker app they literally could have controlled the week. The problem is there is so much dissenting among Foute they don’t even bother working together. It was a HUGE missed opportunity. Especially now when we know Bayleigh is going to be the BD target to eliminate her power app and her tyrannical presence in the house. When you’ve devolved so much that you’re picking fights over pita chips that aren’t even yours...you have to realize that people don’t want you around. She literally snaps on JC when he attempts to take a chip from ANGELA’s bag of pita chips. She snatched the bag and barks at him, “ASK first!” Bayleigh you aren’t the keeper of all things in this house and you have zero power you need to take a seat and check yourself at this point. Bayleigh and Angela have a convo where Bayleigh leaks that she can only choose nominations before the HOH makes theirs. As if telling Rachel and leaking her advantage wasn’t bad enough, now she’s mapping out the exact path to eliminate herself to the new HOH. Bayleigh admits she change the HOH nominations but then the hacker app winner can change one of her nominations, select a veto player, and then even if nominations change post veto again (where both Bayleigh and/or the hacker) are eligible to be the re-nom at the veto ceremony. Sounds like production figures since Bayleigh ruined the depth of her power by yapping about it, let’s just go ahead and ruin it even more. To make things worse when she actually should use it this week she doesn’t! Despite knowing every single HG now knows she has it. This gives Angela the green light to ask Bayleigh if she would use her app to protect Angela next week. Bayleigh’s answer should have been a quick yes of course! It’s us girls to the end! Even if it’s not true when the current HOH proposed a deal you agree! Lie! Nope! Instead Bayleigh replies telling Angela that doing that would be bad for Bayleigh. Always better to ask for forgiveness than permission in this game and Bayleigh is on such a power trip she fails to see what a horrible game move this was. Of course she’s made so many identifying this one is like finding a needle in a haystack. Bayleigh’s reply revealed to Angela that the hacker can put Bayleigh up. She doesn’t want to be in danger. This also confirms to Angela that Tyler shouldn’t fear Bayleigh changing anything during veto ceremony. At this point, Sunday, Bayleigh is scared and Angela smells the fear. That only confirms that Bayleigh’s power app is useless during the veto ceremony. This was Tyler’s only fear. That perhaps Bayleigh could hijack the renom at Veto as well. Why? Likely because his own app is valid for both the nomination and veto ceremonies. Now that has been eliminated as a problem there’s nothing to prevent Angela from putting Bayleigh OTB! Alternatively Tyler’s app is also powerless against the hacker app. As we find out this week it’s near impossible for him to guess if the hacker would target him. All of the things described above could happen. He can’t technically be BD by the hacker because the hacker nomination happens before veto. To be BD a player is not given the opportunity to save themselves with veto. The one advantage of his app he does still have is he can sit on the cloud app prior to veto ceremony. That would squash any efforts people coordinate to make sure he doesn’t play Veto and can be sent out completely impossible. So that’s still a thing and he’s also managed to keep his absolutely secret. His power app specifically says he can use it prior to HOH nominations and Veto ceremony there’s no mention of any ceremony that involves nominations. He’s powerless against the hacker app. Did this amazing season of blindsides, back doors, drama, and angst need a nudge? NO! We’ve had no showmances (Chris left week 2). We’ve had no house votes. We’ve had 4 people walk out on eviction night with no hugs of goodbyes. ALL of these things have culminated into the best season of BB probably in history at this point! Powers have been useless thanks to some extraordinary game play and they want to mess it all up! Production needs to STOP THAT! They won’t but I am a purist and don’t like the interference of such powerful twists like the Hacker app. Let them play the game! L6 has worked hard enough in the weeks prior that they managed to evade any major catastrophes this week. Foute is really screwed! I mean Angela is already HOH. So one week will lean to the L6 side this week as it is. Bayleigh is made to feel safe enough by Angela. She fails to use her her power. The hacker hacks the nominations...Tyler is then saved by the veto. Now, chances are another Foute ally has an even higher likelihood of being sent out week 6. Back to Thursday night. Once the new twist is revealed Sam calls a House Meeting KIT with Sam after the house learned about the hacker comp was entertaining! The Sunday episode didn’t do it justice. Angie makes herself an even bigger target really being the most negatively vocal HG arguing against Sam’s plan. Meanwhile JC is hilariously trolling Sam throughout her proposal! Post live eviction the player taking it the hardest is Angie. She’s dumbfounded Brett managed to escape eviction once again. She’s exasperated with the fact she’s yet again on the wrong side of the vote being blindsided by Rachel’s unexpected eviction. Now she’s being screamed at by Bayleigh and accused of being a traitor by basically her entire squad! Her head is spinning and she’s clueless as to why it’s all happening. 11:30p Thursday Angie having a full meltdown . She’s being accused of flipping and decompressing onto Sam and Kaycee. Kaycee & Sam console her. Kaycee asks if that’s what alliance members do? Accuse each other of thighs and turn their backs on each other? Change their votes? Kaycee’s advice call them out! Say, ‘why the F would I DO THAT!’ Kaycee encourages Angie’s outrage saying I’d go ham. That’s what I would do. From my perspective this is great work Kaycee. Now as far as Angie goes if anyone is encouraging you in this game to blow up its the most obvious clue they are not riding for you. But I like Kaycee’s efforts to both console and gaslight Angie all in the same breath. Once Angela got her HOH room and the traditional reveal events are complete Bayleigh stays behind to be the first one in her girl Angela’s ear. My issue here is Bayleigh still behaves like the HOH is her room. Angela tells Bay she’s safe. Bayleigh is like good. So Bayleigh is immediately disarmed and less likely to use her power app to hijack Angela’s nominations. I honestly feel as though Bayleigh buys this so easily because she’s so overwhelmed by the events of being exposed and losing Rachel not Brett. Angela and Bayleigh are both using the strategy of keep your friends close and your enemies closer this week. Bayleigh was talking with a lot of head bobbing and rehashing like she’s thankful they voted out Rachel (she’s not). It’s a sad little sight. Especially when Angela knows way more than Bayleigh realizes. From Brett’s speech alone she should assume Angela knows everything Rachel knew and you have to remember exactly what you actually told Angela versus what you told Rachel. Bayleigh leaves to send someone else in. Faysal, Scottie, Faysal all on the sky lounge waiting in line for their turns with the HOH! I’m dead serious. Haleigh springs out of her chair where she was playing chess with Scottie and practicality lunges in the door the moment Bayleigh exits. I’m not even sure the HOHBR door had even closed yet. Thirst anyone? How is it possible that these idiots don’t see how BAD this looks? Every single member of Foute is waiting at the door like puppies begging to be let in. Well, except Angie, she’s finally in the DR doing her best Josh impersonation, This is why they are so bad! How desperate are you all? Meanwhile L6 has been able to have little meetings all over the house uninterrupted. FOOLS! L6 is all talking about how Foute is so obvious in their alliance because they are ALWAYS together. Fortunately L6 once again reaps rewards from Foute stupidity and has the time to meet here and there and get their celebrations in while plotting how to capitalize on the palpable tension between Foute. 12:35a Friday early morning after Bayleigh leaves her 1-1 with Angela she goes on her apology tour. First stop? Bayleigh puckers up in the HN room. Again doing all the talking to Brett. Yep, it’s been 6 hours and she’s already kissing his a%$! Bayleigh explains why she “slipped” to Rachel then: -Says didn’t give any details just that she had an app Brett says she must have gotten that somewhere else (he’s hinting at Faysal) -Bayleigh says she didn’t tell anyone because she didn’t plan to use it. Why would I? I’m like I’m good with everyone I don’t need that.” Then after offering truce, Bayleigh starts telling him how it’s going to be. She’s gonna start treating him like those HS boys at her school. They are gonna tell each other the truth. Friends? Bayleigh goes on to remind Brett, Oh but remember we have 2 months in the house. Don’t cross me I will take your head off. You don’t want to make me mad if we go to jury you don’t want to see angry Bay. WHAT?! Wait. Wait. Wait. Hold up! Are you listening to yourself right now? Bayleigh since you won HOH you’ve consistently sabotaged your own game! You went from being in the perfect spot in the game the end of week 4 to now being enemy #1 week 6! I have zero sympathy for her at this point. When Chris left and she was stuck with Foute I did feel a little bad for her. At this point she’s dug her own BB grave. I didn’t watch Haleigh’s full 1-1. She has barely spoken to Angela all season. We know it. She knows it. Angela certainly knows it and Bayleigh’s conversation with Brett was far more interesting than anything Haleigh had to say. What she did say didn’t have any value. Her game really has zero value until she wins the hacker comp this week. Faysal was up next. He’s fumbling around trying to find a common ground with Angela who he also never speaks to. Sam interrupts this was a great break that allowed Angela to shew Faysal out. Scottie 1-1 Says something random and then the only other thing is any of questions you have for me? She says I heard from several people that you said you were going to put me and Rachel OTB. Angela pushes Home the point by telling Scottie, “I mean not one person but multiple people.” Now this is really quite a performance by Angela. Watching Angela’s 1-1’s where she listens far more than she speaks is refreshing after Bayleigh’s week of nonstop yapping. Angela is relaxed, welcoming, seems interested in what people want to say even if she really isn’t. I took a picture of Bayleigh during her HOH 1-1’s and Angela during her 1-1’s and they are polar opposites! Angela gives Scottie a heads up that if she does put him OTB (meaning when she puts him OTB) just know you’re not the target. Scottie leaves with a clear understanding he’s going OTB. Friday arrives and Angela nominated Angie and Scottie. No surprises here. Then the hacker comp is played. Haleigh wins and nominates Tyler. We do see Tyler sweating but he goes into over drive like Dan in his 24 hours of isolation and starts playing scenarios in his mind and creating moves for all the different possible scenarios. Haleigh better pray Tyler doesn’t confirm it was her next week. Not that he’s not going to target Haleigh and Angie next. He will. Since the RealiTea is this will cover Thursday to Sunday night let’s put a pin in this because as you will see the events of Friday are explained as I outline Saturday. Saturday began with Sam getting her weekly, “don’t worry about anything you hear just know we are doing what needs to be done to save, insert level 6 player name here, just know it’s all for the greater good,” speech. Angela and L6 plan to make it seem as though they don’t like Tyler right now so anyone like Scottie is picked to play they may use the veto to save him. Level 6 understanding a key element of game play here. Make sure you have who you need to have on board to execute a plan. This is where Haleigh fails in attempting to make a big move! Winning the hacker app was fantastic for her game! I actually respect she was willing to make her own move and take a big swing! Even though I doubt she would have taken the swing were she not doing it anonymously. Those are players we typically love! The problem for her is she didn’t consider if I do this...do I have the pieces in place to pull it off? She didn’t and that’s why her swing will be a whiffer! Week after week I outline which paths Tyler has created or capitalize on. The longevity and abilities to be successful when making plans and moves is reliant on having allies throughout the house that you can easily slide in and out of rotation when needing help to accomplish a goal. It’s no accident everyone in the house is wanting to ‘save’ Tyler or upset he hit the block! He’s done all the leg work to set it up to be that way. While he couldn’t prevent the hacker from taking a shot he certainly has the strong relationships in place to avoid falling victim to it! Saturday morning Veto players were drawn pretty early. Week 6 Veto players: Hacker veto player: Kaycee veto players drawn: Scottie Brett HOH: Angela nominees: Angie Tyler Haleigh chose Kaycee to play in Veto. I have no idea why? It makes no sense. I. Know we heard Scottie say after the nominations are changed by the hacker he wants to play so he can take Tyler off the block. Maybe she feared naming Scottie for that reason? The only logic I can identify for selecting Kaycee is that she is the only one close to Tyler that we haven’t seen her comp abilities when she’s actually trying to win? So Haleigh chose the ally of Tyler’s she felt was least likely to be able to win? Was her goal to try to make it look like someone from their own side did it? I have no idea. You know why I have no idea? I think it’s because Haleigh has no idea why? The veto player selection was a poor move after a strong move nominating Tyler. Haleigh absolutely gets props for knowing he’s a threat and taking a swing. I think where she fails is planning it out with details. You can’t put someone up you will never have to votes to get out. Even with the ability to eliminate one vote there still wouldn’t be enough votes to evict him. Then she should have considered what nomination to make by evaluating who would be eligible to select for veto. The only people from her own side would be herself. Nope terrible idea. Bayleigh nope if she wins and takes Angie down Haleigh or Faysal May go up because Bayleigh now has safety. Faysal has done well but if he’s safe and happens to take either down (he’s reckless in his game play) then Haleigh or Bayleigh could go up. Angie is already OTB. That left some slim pickings. After the Hacker removes Scottie from the block and before veto players are drawn he is clinging to this terrible notion that he’s being set up for a BD. In his theory he was taken down so he can’t play in the veto and then be put back OTB. Which makes absolutely no sense. That should give you a clear view of how much all of this chaos has made him completely twisted in his entire view of the house dynamics. Scottie is primarily focused on the fact people are pinning everything on him. The plus side for L6 is at this point when he does get drawn he’s thinking he will take Tyler off to prove he’s to be trusted. Remember Tyler took Scottie off the block weeks ago when Kaitlin was HOH. Haleigh is really making it blatantly obvious she’s the hacker. She is continuously denying she’s the hacker in every conversation. Now granted this wouldn’t seem odd. Except she’s doing it when no one is talking about the hacker. While nominating Tyler was a FABULOUS game move for Haleigh, it’s also a very dangerous one. Foute seemed just as mad Tyler was nominated as L6 is. Many of them talking about voting Angie out over Tyler. Veto plays out before any of this information really becomes relevant. Everything will change now based on Angela winning the veto. Odds are in Tyler’s favor. He had, Kaycee, Angela, Brett, and Scottie essentially playing to remove him from the block. While he’s in danger at the moment all of the work he’s done the first 5 weeks will be what saves him this week! Tomorrow Angela will pull Tyler off the block. There were prizes/punishments and Jesse hosted the veto competition. This creates some controversy within L6. Brett is really annoyed Tyler didn’t take the veto. Instead at Angela’s prompting he took Brett’s prize which was a Hawaiian vacation! Lol! Don’t worry I will come back to this. Here’s the breakdown of winners and losers from the veto comp: Winners: Scottie $5k Tyler Hawaiian vacation Angela power of veto Losers: Kaycee Peanut costume Angie Jesse’s fitness hack she must cook meals and perform fitness tasks assigned by Mr. Pectacular Brett Granny punishment You can get a sneak peak of Kaycee and Angie’s punishments here: Even though Haleigh can cancel a vote there’s a high likelihood Tyler would have stayed. That’s irrelevant now. Angela plans to put Bayleigh OTB tomorrow at the veto ceremony! Can Bayleigh survive eviction? The fact Foute isn’t working together really makes Haleigh miss the mark and Faysal is the one most vocally suspicious that Haleigh is the hacker! Haleigh does still have the ability to cancel one vote come eviction night. Let’s run the numbers! Heading into week six there would be 8 HG’s casting votes this week. Thanks to the hacker there’s no chance of a tie because Haleigh can eliminate one vote. That leaves 7 total. L6 will all vote to evict Bayleigh. That’s Kaycee, Brett, Tyler, Sam. So Haleigh is most likely to eliminate one of their votes. That’s 3 locked to evict Bayleigh. Scottie will evict Bayleigh! That’s four and that’s all they need. Faysal, Haleigh, and JC can all vote against Angie in the worse case scenario and voila! Level 6 manages another blindside (BD Bayleigh) and evades the entire Hacker twist this week! BOOM! I think before the hacker nominated Tyler Angela would have found a justification for not targeting Bay. We saw Thursday evening and early Friday she was more focused on Scottie or Faysal. Brett, Kaycee, and Tyler pushed for Bayleigh but it wasn’t until the hacker took a shot at Tyler that Foute was laser focused on her! Even Haleigh could have been in more danger than Bay. Now that all of L6 is absolute in their convictions that Bayleigh is in fact the Hacker Angela WILL BD Bayleigh. Haleigh is actually going to manage to get Bayleigh evicted because she won the hacker app and no one on the L6 side can be persuaded it wasn’t Bayleigh based on the Tyler nomination. Bayleigh goes on on Angie after the HOH competition. Bayleigh and Haleigh make their way to the HOH room throwing Angie and Scottie to the wolves! Today, Sunday Faysal and Haleigh made another trip upstairs individually. They may as well have gone together since they both said almost the exact same things. Like Bayleigh they are selling that Angela leaving Tyler up or replacing one of the nominees with Scottie will be the ‘biggest’ move and go down in BB history. Remember I mentioned that Angela asked Bayleigh if she keeps her off the block will Bayleigh promise to use her power to protect Angela as well? Remember how I said Bayleigh said no she can’t it would be bad for her game? Well she circled the wagons and ate some crow today doing anything she can to protect Faysal. Bayleigh back peddled and told Angela hey btw I will actually use it to help you. My bad. Now I’ve had time to think and realize saying no was a horrible game move so can you just buy what I am selling now? Bayleigh and Haleigh also tried to reignite the AGA. I mean they are doing work they’re just clueless to what they need to be doing and wasting energy because Angela has their numbers and their numbers are up! Angela isn’t buying it! Too little too late! Not only that but around 10 pm Sunday night she is in the HOH with Tyler, Kaycee, and Scottie and she reveals what Foute is proposing which is make a BIG move send Scottie home. Scottie has been sucking up to L6. Now normally I wouldn’t give this much weight. It’s Scottie he’s a coaster. However Scottie has said and done some things that makes me wonder if he really is finally jumping ship on Foute? He told L6 about the “Hive” alliance. He explained about Bayleigh making him literally swear on a bible and how that made him mad. Well Bay making him swear on the Bible must have annoyed him because he’s been holding onto that for a week! Angela confirms that Foute all threw him UTB the same way Bayleigh spilled to Angela that Rachel threw them UTB. The irony of that isn’t lost on me. I think that about brings you up to speed on the happenings in the house since Thursday’s live show! Let’s talk about some lighter game intel. As you know three veto players ended up with punishments. BB is handing out punishments this season like candy on Halloween. Angie received a punishment where she has to constantly perform workout tasks as delivered by Jesse. Such things as arm curls, running, jumping jacks, etc are to be performed either during or after making a healthy meal/snacks ordered by him as well. She’s been a great sport about it so far. I wouldn’t hold your breath though. It’s been less than 24 hours. She’s OTB. Her body will start to feel the shock of so much exercise. She’s volatile anyways so by Monday night I expect her to start complaining. She made pancakes this morning and had to do jumping jacks while each side cooked. Last count she had done about 750. Prior to that last night she made muffins and had to do arm curls for the entire 20 min they were baking. This is no easy punishment. Can you imagine if she were to end up a HN this week on top of all of this? Kaycee is now in a peanut costume and when prompted she has to use these ridiculously oversized dumbbells and sing some kind of song. If you remember her stint in the pinwheel costume she is always a great sport no matter where she is or what she’s doing when she’s called to task. Brett has a granny punishment and being given random tasks. Sounds like someone dressed as a granny comes in the house and harassed him similar to the guy that yelled at Rachel for her crap app? Feeds keep going down when his happens so I haven’t seen this yet. The only insight we get is HG talking about what happened when feeds return. Brett’s punishment may drive Sam over the edge though. Today he had to mess up all the beds. Just before 10 pm Sunday, I saw Sam still remaking all the beds in the house. Sam is one that makes her bed every day so no chance she’s going to like this very much. Speaking of which can you imagine Sam has if she’s still in the house when they play hide the veto? Omg! She’s going to lose what little sound mind she has left! I just keep picturing her cleaning when it’s her turn to be looking for a Veto! Captain Camo better be grateful he wasn’t on the same season as Sam! LOL Ok, back to the current activity in the house. When feeds returned from Veto Brett was visibly pissed. Eventually it comes around as a plan to seem pissed so he can now be the wounded bird Foute clings to. Although my perception is he was seriously mad Tyler took the Hawaii trip from him and not the veto. Tyler is OTB after all. Some of that was because they didn’t want to make it too obvious that Angela is aligned with Tyler but after Monday that will all be out in the open anyways. Brett doesn’t understand why Angela would insist on winning the veto when Brett could have just won a trip. I say this because even when he was alone with Kaycee he was acting mad? If he wasn’t genuinely angry why keep a facade up when he’s alone with an L6 member? Tyler and JC had a discussion where Tyler pushes the narrative he already created. Remember JC is in fact playing the middle. JC has consistently pushed for an even elimination where one Foute goes one week then a L6 the next. His strategy is to allow the two sides to pick each other off while never allowing one side to have greater numbers than the other. Tyler has explained this is JC’s strategy to people on both sides of the house. Now that we’ve made jury Tyler wants to go ahead and wipe out Foute, the time has come. This required he sell the idea that the time to take two shots at the opposing side has come, don’t worry I know you like to keep the numbers even but we need to take out two of their numbers next. Tyler understands now that L6 is down to 4 members they cannot lose any more because his effectiveness at playing double agent between both teams is about to expire. He won’t be able to hide the fact he’s team L6 side of the house now that numbers are dwindling and they have the hacker app to deal with. Also once this week plays out and if Bayleigh does go out Foute is dead in the water even if they win HOH. Foute has fallen! They don’t have the numbers to make what they want to happen especially if a L6 member wins the next Hacker comp. With Bayleigh gone and Scottie jumping ship it’s not looking good for Haleigh and Angie. JC may be able to preserve Faysal but if Veto forces another nominee JC won’t sacrifice himself for Faysal. Tyler is the first to admit after week 7 there will be no more teams and the real game begins! Brett wants to position himself into the danger zone this week. As we know Faysal is already not a Brett fan because of the amount of Haleigh time he dominates. Brett tells Angela he plans to buddy himself up to Bayleigh (just before they BD her) so when she leaves he can then mourn Bayleigh’s end of her BB life and win Faysal over. LOL! Brett you are taking the wrong approach here, Bayleigh is not the one dividing you and Faysal. Haleigh is your road block and you’re intentionally driving yourself into a dead end by not seeing that and enjoying making Faysal jealous. Faysal will target you so he has Haleigh to himself. Tyler is going to now start setting you up to fall because you are stepping on his toes and he can’t afford for you to redeem yourself with the Foute side giving you the numbers necessary to survive the next few weeks. He’s their pet not you. I feel like these little things Brett is doing also are his attempts to diffuse Foute’s disdain for him since they’ve now targeted him and missed twice. He’s been seen doing some very minor things of his own volition not specifically part of the L6 plan. The problem for Brett is he thinks Tyler being OTB makes him too busy saving himself to notice. Trust and believe Tyler notices. I imagine he’s annoyed as much as threatened game wise because Tyler worked his butt off to save Brett both of those weeks. Expect Brett to be the next Level 6 sacrificial lamb with Angela not far behind him. While as a team mate having an Angela who plays fearlessly vicious is a short term asset she’s a long term liability. I mean she had a F2 with Rachel and look what she did to her. Ouch! Now she’s been close with Bayleigh and is methodically drawing her in closely and disarming her before stabbing her in the heart while looking her directly in her eyes. That’s not a player I want running out of targets and looking at me like a hyena. Tyler, Kaycee, Scottie, and JC can now join forces and pick off Brett and Angela. Brett and Angela win week 8 they may still be more likely to aim at JC and Faysal. That’s great news for Scottie. Brett is to Foute this week as Scottie is to L6. Lol. Both are playing the roles of innocent victims being scammed and left in the dust by their respective sides. Scottie was seen crying and delivering a lengthy apologetic hug with Brett yesterday post veto. Going on and on about how his side tricked him into hating Brett. He feels so bad can you ever forgive me? They’ve been lying to me to make us hate each other I’ve seen the light. While Brett is telling Faysal and Haleigh that he’s alone on and island. Which has them discussing wow maybe we were wrong and Brett has really been on his own all this time. Yeah sure Faysal and I have the most amazing beach front property in Kansas I want to sell you! While Foute at the very least is pondering if this could absolutely be true, L6 is still suspicious of Scottie and carefully using his new allegiance found for a vote this week. Oh Scottie you want to prove to Tyler you’re grateful that week he saved you with veto? Sure then shows us by doing a, b, c this week. It’s funny to watch because there are several of these parallel players in the game. Bayleigh and Angela are actually both savage and unforgiving. Each wishes to make people squirm and then deliver a death blow. They just approach how they go about it differently but make no mistake both a power hungry mean girls with a taste for blood. Bayleigh is going to be feeling like she’s been hit head on tomorrow. She and Haleigh absolutely believe they have Angela wrapped around their fingers and have convinced her to replace Angie with Scottie. What we don’t know for certain is how vicious Angela’s actual renomination will be. We are in jury. It’s one thing to send Rachel home with a bad taste in her mouth. It’s another to start slaying jury members. She may have a taste for blood she can’t resist not that she finally has some power but I would hope for her sake the things she’s been proposing are pure fiction because if not she will never have a chance at winning. No matter who she would sit next to. Paul anyone? Bayleigh isnt the innovent victim in all of this. She dug her own grave and hasn’t been doing herself any favors this weekend. Today she was talking to Faysal as they planned what to say to Angela. Bayleigh says, “I was like, you Scottie, don’t care about anyone but yourself. You got Greece. You got $5k and you’re safe this week!” Faysal of course says she should bring that up to Angela. I of course am like Bayleigh you have a lot of nerve since YOU are most guilty of being the most selfish player in this house. Meanwhile Angela is telling Tyler what she plans to say at the veto ceremony tomorrow. Angela says she’s going to be like, “I’m sick and tired of everyone trying to pin everything on Scottie! The fact that you (Bayleigh) had him put his hand on a bible and swear to God is dirty, wrong, and bullying. I will not stand for bullying.” Haleigh is busy trying to deflect from her hacker moves and is heard repeatedly saying they HG’s like, “Tyler is a lamb being thrown into the lion’s den.” Well that brings us up to speed! Sunday night is almost over and tomorrow is the Veto ceremony! Expect Tsunami Bayleigh to make landfall once she’s put OTB in place of poor easily manipulated Tyler is saved with the veto. I’ve cleared my morning to prepare for the storm that is sure to make landfall at the CBS Studios when Bayleigh’s time in the game comes to an explosive end! The RealiTea is BB20 is never short on excitement!

It’s Sunday morning and it feels like we’ve already had an entire week of BB in the last two days since eviction night! I took one day off and BOOM! The entire game took a hit! So let’s just have a quick rundown until I can come back a deliver the full plate of action. Thursday night Brett did in fact deliver another spectacular speech! Rachel was evicted by a vote of 5-4 and she was SHOOK! She sprinted to the door snatching up her bag and bolted out of the door! No hugs, no goodbyes, no game bombs dropped! She practically stampeded her way to Julie. HOH was a question competition based on season .gifs. This came down to a tie breaker between Angela and Angie! Yes I said Angie! You could feel the anticipation of both teams on the sidelines through your tv. In the end Angela won the tie breaker and became the week 6 HOH. Everyone has officially made jury. There was tons of action throughout the house when the LF return. Most significantly was the rumble after hearing about the new Hacker twist. Remember both Bayleigh and Tyler still have their apps but this new twists diminishes their value significantly. Like the road kill competition a third comp will happen the next two weeks. The winner of this comp will be able to ‘hack’ the game between the nominations ceremony (happens first) and the veto (happens last). From what we understand the hacker will earn the ability to: 1. Replace one nominee post nominations ceremony and choose the replacement nominee. (Veto will be played after this so the nominations can change yet again after this). 2. Hacker may choose one person to play in the veto competition. (Remember if hackers are sniffed out they CAN be the replacement nominee during veto ceremony). 3. The Hacker is allowed to eliminate one vote on eviction night! This is what I see as the most dangerous part of the twist. Even if one side manages to actually get their target OTB this vote elimination can seriously prevent someone from ultimately falling victim on eviction night. WOW! That’s some serious power! This is more powerful than any of the apps at this point. Sam realizes this and calls a house meeting to discuss her proposal on how to navigate the new twist. It’s pretty funny to watch so here’s the clip! This should help tide you over until I post the full details of happenings in the house! Nominations occurred and Angela chose to nominate Angie and Scottie. I think this was a decent plan for L6. They put Scottie up originally not as a target but as a veto player who could pull himself off and open the BD for someone else. Angela has been keeping Bayleigh very close to her. Bayleigh is also all up in Angela’s grill for similar reasons. Both want the other to feel comfortable and it seems at least for Angela it’s working because Bayleigh DID NOT use her power. L6 is pushing hard for Angela to BD Bayleigh. I’m not 100% Angela would do it but she’s talking a good game. She says and does things that definitely leave her in a spot where she can actually target Bayleigh so this could be very interesting once Veto plays out because of what happens next! The Hacker Comp happened Friday and we have it on good authority that Haleigh won the Hacker power. Seems to fit considerably she’s only one of two people that may target Tyler! Yep, she took Scottie off the block and replaced him with TYLER! BOOM! The house is rocked again! While we know Haleigh won, the house is mistakenly laser focused on a Bayleigh being the #1 suspect. I feel like that’s because it fits their narrative of why Bayleigh needs to go. If they were really paying attention strictly to evidence they should be side eyeing Haleigh. She hasn’t told anyone but her behavior is questionable. Plus Haleigh is the closest person to Scottie! Now all of a sudden Bayleigh is on board with voting Tyler out. So much for I love Tyler right? Honestly I think this is worse possible scenario for Bayleigh and Haleigh. Haleigh can not afford to lose Bayleigh and everyone is blaming Bayleigh! If the veto is played today and Tyler comes down...Haleigh is screwed she will likely lose either Scottie or Bayleigh regardless of the vote cancelling. At best it would come to a tie and Angela breaks the tie. If Veto doesn’t remove Tyler from the block then things get sticky! Just to recap: HOH-Angela Nominees: Angie and Scottie Hacker-Haleigh Replacement nom-removes Scottie and Tyler hits the BLOCK! Tyler was absolutely blindsided! Finally Foute was the force behind a blindside and by Foute I mean Haleigh because the rest of them are still a hot mess even in this perfect spot! Veto will happen today and that will determine the trajectory of the rest of the week! This could keep the excitement of one of the best seasons of BB rolling for at least two more weeks and then we are at F9, if Bayleigh is still there her power will still be in play. If Tyler is still there his will have expired. That’s the current RealiTea of this glorious season! Tyler is finally in trouble so let’s see what he can do! His feet are finally being held to the fire and this may be the most important veto of the season so far!

Wacky Wednesday inside the BB20 house today. From the wee hours of the early morning well into the evening there’s a lot of moving and shaking going on. Even a twist no one would have predicted preseason. Get comfortable because you will want to sip all of this RealiTea why it’s still hot! Faysal and Tyler chat it up in the HM room around 1:20am. I actually heard something astute from Faysal! There was a convo about JC (who just exited). Faysal points out that JC talks a lot of crap all the time. Faysal tells Tyler with JC you have to weed out the b.s. with him. He also accurately speculated that you always have to be cautious of him because he goes to everybody all the time. He may be telling you all of this stuff but then you have to wonder what’s he saying to all the others. Wow! Is Faysal actually paying attention to someone other than Haleigh? Then he and Tyler go in to discussing who would target whom. Who does Tyler think would target him? Faysal clarifies of Tyler thinks the 3 girls (Kaycee/Rachel/Angela) would really nominate him. Tyler says yeah. He’s always good at listening more than he speaks and being very careful with what he does say. Tyler then goes on to reinforce the idea that Rachel was the rogue vote last week. Faysal says he knew it wasn’t Tyler. That would be such an obvious and stupid move. Tyler and Faysal eventually circle around to discussing Kaitlin and her declarations to each of the guys on Day 1 (Tyler) Day 2 (Brett) and Day 8 (Faysal). Time to check in with Bayleigh and Rachel’s sleepover in the HOH. Tyler and Faysal are essentially doing the same things here. They are feeding each other little bites to see what gets a nibble. Tyler just does is more effectively because he’s always 5 steps ahead. I give Faysal some credit for his efforts to sniff out where Tyler’s head lies. 1:40 am HOH Bayleigh is thanking Rachel for keeping her secret. LOL! Rachel is playing right along about how she wouldn’t do that she’s OTB and she’s gonna spill about Bay’s power? Nah she Would never do that. Good job Rachel. She let Bayleigh talk about the evolution of Bay/Chris in bed in the HOH room for a good hour prior. Rachel appears to be sleeping up there with her. Once Bayleigh gets nice and comfy and brings up how she freaked out on herself after she told Rachel her secret. Eventually Rachel confirms the power expires after F9 week ends. This is true. The power says when 8 HG remain the identity theft power is no longer in play. Eventually we see them proceed to study days and events. 1:55 am Tyler/Brett talk in passing. Tyler asks Brett if he told/asked Scottie about the only he might stay is if he can make Rachel blow up. Brett says no, Scottie said to me that the only way Brett could stay at this point is if Rachel has a major blow up. Brett is annoyed Scottie lied to Tyler about that convo. Scottie did lie, just to clarify. He was the one to tell Brett that. 11 am HOH Bayleigh Bay says she (Rachel) has no idea about anything that is going on. Like she has no clue. Bay tells Angie that Rachel was like why would Tyler win this veto i’m so confused? I am laughing at this point. The irony of these two who are the most clueless on the game thinking they are boss b*txhes calling shots and actually making fun of someone else saying they are clueless is HILARIOUS! Bay says “she has no clue.. poor thing.” Oh no it didn’t stop there! LOL! Angie tells Bay that “A lot of people have no clue what’s going on. A LOT of people (LOL)” Ok Angie you kinda are right here. A lot of people don’t have a clue. However all of those clueless people are on your own team! You are the one that knows the Least! HAHAHAHHA I’m sorry but Foute is just so bad! Later you will hear Kaycee and Angela’s take on this topic as well. Bayleigh does show that she is not 100% all in on Scottie. Clearly JC, Brett, and Tyler’s efforts to grow the mistrust she has is working beautifully. Bayleigh tells Angie “we got to watch Scottie. He’s sneaky! They don’t see targeting him as a priority right now because they believe Scottie is on everybody’s radar so those people can take him out. Let’s see if they still think that come Thursday! Angie keeps regurgitating the fact she believes ‘the odds are in our favor’. She does point out that things have gone so terribly bad, but finally they are going to be on the right side of an eviction. Bay is so delusional her attitude is ‘finally we get something we just need to keep it.’ Well considering your side of the house has owned every HOH except Sam’s and you are blindsided week after week...hmmm seems to me having ‘something’ doesn’t mean squat when you’re Foute! Bayleigh asks Angie about DE. Bayleigh has no idea really how the night plays out on a DE night. She needs to because Bayleigh’s goal is to wait and use her power during the DE. I’m highly doubtful her power will make it to a DE. Pretty unlikely Bayleigh will either but she has better odds of being there than being there with her power. Bayleigh is showing some mild concern about Brett trying to make Rachel pop off and shift the target. She mentions it briefly but then like most things glosses over it and doesn’t address the potential problem. This is a very Foute way of viewing the game. They see or speculate potential twists and turns every week but it’s like they think because they thought of it their jobs are done! Last week when Haleigh was worried about Kaitlin staying she made a plan and went to work. She made some real strides and secured Kaitlin’s eviction. That’s how L6 works week after week. Whereas Foute says what if this happens and then drops it. Every week the exact same strategy they never bother to problem solve or eliminate a threat they just sit back and get slapped up side the blindside heads week after week! I credit some of that to Tyler and JC always being 5 steps ahead to make them feel secure enough to not be motivated to do anything. But come on. One blindside I can see it. Maybe even 2 but considering the comp stats and casualty counts by this point Foute should be over playing to make sure nothing gets by them. Instead to this moment (Wednesday) the day before eviction they are lounging comfortably in the HOH all morning and afternoon talking about how they are all knowing and all seeing and confident just because they want something this week they’re going to get it. One thing I’ve failed to touch on is Sam’s mood this week. She’s had some meltdowns about feeling isolated again. She says to Bayleigh she feels like she is dismissing her again. Sam is back to feeling like people ignore her. They do actually until they need her. Except for Kaycee and Tyler for the most part. Some of that is Sam is always finding quirky things to entertain herself and occupy her time. I’m guessing her feeling isolated led to her other meltdown on Monday where she’s crying over feeling fat and being surrounded by all of these fit and perfectly statuesque women in the house. I’ve heard people shade same for wanting to hug people all the time. Especially in reference to their perception that Sam lingers in her hugs with Kaycee. From my point of view this is Sam’s way of both connecting with people and getting some comfort with physical contact. Not in a sexual way but a human contact kind of sensation. Sam is vulnerable again this week. This comes into play a little later in the day. I will tell you this, if I’m playing survivor or naked and afraid I want Sam on my team. This gal can create anything out of nothing. She’s always crafting. Making loofa’s out of old T-shirt’s. Creating bubbles. Making hooch. Capturing spiders and bees and keeping them in jars and caring for them. It’s happened so much the others have encouraged her to sell her stuff in on Etsy. Around noon Angie and Bayleigh are in the HOH. This gets interesting real quick! Last week Bayleigh kept mentioning she hadn’t gotten her period yet. We all know there was some tickle me Elmo action happening with her and Soggy. Primarily because we heard him telling Faysal about it in great detail. Suddenly Bayleigh asks Angie how she knew she was pregnant? Angie says because she threw up. Bayleigh says she wishes Soggy were there. Bayleigh is in her robe in bed (looks like she's maybe not feeling well). Bayleigh says she doesn't know what pregnancy symptoms are. Angie told Bayleigh for her she just felt pregnant. She went on to explain that meant she felt crampy but something just felt different. Oh Jesus take the wheel! Please tell me this young woman didn’t get pregnant during BB20 playing hide the cucumber with a guy she’d known for 6-14 days. More importantly why is she talking about it on the LF! I felt the same way about Soggy revealing details to Faysal. It never happened on the actual LF that we saw so had he kept his mouth shut (a problem clearly both he and his last have in common) we wouldn’t have known! This could actually explain her sudden erratic behavior I suppose. I mean it doesn’t excuse all of her bigoted and culturally insensitive commentary but the mood shifts and tyrannical outburst could easily be coming from hormones. I genuine hope that this isn’t the case. She is young and finding out your pregnant on national tv by isn’t a moment you want to commemorate in this way. Or maybe she does? Either way now you have that RealiTea to sip on. 12:28 pm Haleigh walks into the HOH while Bayleigh is talking with Angela. When Haleigh just walks into the HoH room Bayleigh yells "KNOCK!" Haleigh goes back out and knocks, then comes back in. Hmmm. I guess the real question is...Is Bayleigh just really a b*tchy girl that has been holding back until she stupidly won power? Or is she b*tchy all of a sudden because of hormones? This is exactly the kind of tyrannical behavior I was referring to. Guess we will find out along with her eventually. I mean two more months in the game or the jury the answers will become clear whether she likes it or not. 12:40 pm Angela arrives in the HOH with H/B/A to ask about what Bay told Rachel about Tyler bringing up her name. Bayleigh doesn’t tell the whole truth but she does admonish Tyler of any wrong doing. She reassured Angela Tyler isn’t coming for her. It was more Bayleigh shutting Rachel up for being annoyed. However, now Bay is furiously on the hunt for Rachel. How dare she tell Angela what she said!? I mean she said someone was targeting Angela and Rachel telling Angela doesn’t seem like a major violation but in Queen Bay’s kingdom, like Faysal, you are clearly expected to ask her permission before speaking to anyone else. I’m so over her power trip. I didn’t dislike Bayleigh before this week. Now I’m HERE for someone sending her arrogant tail out the door with it stuck between her legs. Bayleigh finds Rachel campaigning to Sam in the BA. She curtly summons Rachel. Bayleigh yells at Rachel for telling Angela what she said about Tyler and Angela. Bayleigh says that didn't need to get around. Rachel goes back to the bathroom area. Sam asks what was that all about? Rachel says she was asking about something I said. Sam says she appreciates Rachel. Sam says we can talk more. They hug. Sam says don't walk on pins and needles it doesn't help. Rachel leaves. Even I am feeling a little bad for Rachel at this point. I mean once she volunteered to go OTB she backed herself into a no win situation. Neither side was ever going to put their necks on the line to save her and that’s a hard pill to Swallow. Especially when you thought you were positioning yourself to be golden between the two sides. She just can’t win this week and I’m not talking about BB. I mean no one will throw her a life line after her self sabotage. 1pm HOH Angie and Haleigh continue their ‘planning’ once Bayleigh heads downstairs. They run through who they think would target whom. Angie points out that JC is just going to skate by. Who else will actually put him up? She’s hesitant to nominate him because she doesn’t want the LGBTQI people coming for her because she targets the only G guy in the house. Angie gnaws on this issue for a while. She keeps dragging on about how she doesn’t want her LGBTQI people to drag her for evicting him but no one will beat him at the end. I can’t sit next to JC and no one else is gonna take the shot. Then they discuss who in the house would be mad? Faysal. For sure but he can’t say anything because he hasn’t done anything. Maybe Sam. But Sam almost put him up. I went up instead so that gives me the perfect excuse to nominate him. Like hey buddy it’s really your fault I went up Sam’s week so take a seat. Really Angie? You are not someone that should be rationalizing anyone doesn’t matter because they haven’t done sh*t because WTH have you done? NOTHING! You’ve actually just outlined the reason people should be looking at you! When Bayleigh returns we hear her say for the millionth time she hopes Soggy comes back this week. UGH! Shut up no one is coming back pre-jury! Kaitlin was the one who had a chance how do you not realize this! Haleigh talks about they need to win this next HOH. Bayleigh says the only thing that would better is if Soggy comes back. She says she would literally jump on him. Haleigh had a dream he came back. GIRL! Stop! Enough he’s not coming back! I know you want to tell him how worried you are but don’t fret I’m sure the LF grabbed the video clip and tweeted it to him. I mean isn’t that how every man wants to hear he may be having a baby? Imma need you to STOP THAT Bayleigh. I told ya’ll last week that I hoped she’d stop after the power app played out but she hasn’t! Omg! It’s just pathetically annoying how oblivious to RealiTea she is this week! Maybe it is baby brain. That is a thing you know. Rachel is still running around every 30 minutes checking she still has their votes. Sadly by their I mean Foute which are actually the only votes she goes have. When she checks in with Scottie he tells her she’s good with him. Scottie says, “be prepared because Brett threw Rockstar under the bus in the last speech so to be prepared”. Rachel is reading Bible verses out loud to Scottie. Shut up Scottie! You’re the one that said to Brett the only way you think the vote could flip is if Rachel flips out. Do ya’ll hear that? That’s the sound of Scottie’s stock crashing this upcoming week. 2pm Wednesday Angela and Kaycee are discussing how Bay’s side is always walking around like they run the house but L6 always controls the votes. They agree they need to win the next HOH. Angela accurately points out that look what we’ve done and haven’t won. LOL. Kaycee drilling on the fact that Foute meets openly all the time. She pointed out that they talk so much that they are cocky and drop the ball all the time. Versus L6 that has quick check ins and rarely meets as a group and have most the control over how each week plays out. They’re so stupid. Tyler makes a similar point later in the day. Both ladies also discussed how happy they will be to not have to tolerate Rachel and her need for attention all the time. Also the fact that one thing made her turn on the group. They also discuss the fact that JC won’t have to compete for attention against Rachel anymore. We’ve been hearing this same type of conversation all over the house the last 24 hours. Almost every time you pop in on a conversation in any room where allies are together they as brainstorming which HG will target which people? They’ve also been creating their target line ups as well. Everyone on Foute says they will target Rachel/Angela/Kaycee except Angie. She plans to target Brett/JC and perhaps if the opportunity presents itself BD Tyler. What’s humorous is that Foute is so overly confident they’ve run through most of the other HG’s and genuinely believe people like Tyler and JC will also target the women on the ‘other side’ of the house. While ridiculous to us, what this reveals is they are seriously falling hook, line, and sinker for JC, Brett, and Tyler’s smoke and mirrors. It’s conversations like these that are very telling about what people really believe. Meanwhile the team that can actually get stuff done is playing a coo. They are prepared in case Bayleigh changes the nominations if they win the next HOH. They are prepared to flush her power out. They are prepared to take shots at Bayleigh that’s for sure. My only concern within L6 is Angela. In her conversations with Kaycee she keeps saying that they need to win this next HOH because Bayleigh will change the nominations and then they won’t have to get blood on their hands. This is cryptic to me. She’s been 100% loyal to L6, but she also flipped on her ride or die Rachel this week. If she will flip on her if I’m in the house I’d be wondering who she will flip on next. Put a pin in that. It’s definitely something to pay attention to. The good news is Rachel told Angela today to brush up on her days for the competitions ahead. This information tells us she still isn’t suspicious and is in Rachel’s mind still a situation where she and Angela are straight. Trust me she wouldn’t be saying this to her if she really thought she may be going. Later this afternoon JC checks in with Faysal about the votes. Faysal assures JC by his count there will be 8 votes to evict Brett and tells JC not to worry. Again Foute is as in the dark today as Rachel. He then later tells Rachel not to worry it should be unanimous tomorrow. Brett has been practicing his eviction speech. He plans to say something along the lines: “I know everyone's nervous I'm gonna say something crazy, but I'll keep it heartfelt. Rachel told me all about the all girls alliance. She also told me all about Bayleigh's power app. She has the ability to replace nominations.” This could seriously cause a major shake up in the house heading into the next HOH. The primary goal of course is to set the stage for the vote flip that will send Rachel out and keep Brett in the game. The secondary fallout could be far more exciting! I mean they want Bay to not be so angry when Brett stays by justifying (Angela/Kaycee/Tyler/Sam) for targeting Rachel. However, remember Faysal is the only person on Foute that knows Bay has a power and what it is. So picture Haleigh and Angie’s faces and reactions to learning their teammate has this extraordinary power and she didn’t tell them? Not only didn’t Bayleigh tell them but they are finding out from BRETT of all people and learning he knows because Bayleigh told Rachel and Not them! I suspect this is where the focus will remain. Exposing Bay’s power is a risk v. Reward situation. While I’m not convinced this part of the speech is the best move, I do believe this fun fact will distract from the vote and create some dissension among Foute heading into the next HOH. My guess Haleigh could likely flip on Foute week 6! She’s over Faysal and his dramatics. Now Bayleigh the anchor of the team and her closest ally trusted Rachel over her?! I’m here for it! Foute will be fuming Brett stays. Bayleigh will rake slaps to both sides of her two faces. First being her target stayed (again)! Secondly the blindside that Rachel spilled her secret, Brett outed her, now the whole house knows! Finally the likely backlash from her allies! Listen the higher you rise the harder you fall. Her treacherous reign of over inflated ego as HOH will result in her game blowing up! Angie is going to be pissed too! She’s going to be more focused on how the hell shes always the last to know anything and gets screwed by THAT GUY winning again. She will forgive Bayleigh quickly because she has no where else to go. But...I expect to hear another week of whining out of her. Faysal is going to be dumbfounded and run to Bayleigh and then JC. He’s going to be like a chicken with his head cut off. Bayleigh is gonna snap so hard on him in her own frustration his head may actually come off. LOL. Don’t worry Faysal JC and Tyler will be there to direct you while you vent. Angela did circle back around to Tyler today about Bayleigh’s power. He’s now clear that she only names original nominations-voiding the HOH nominees but she doesn’t have control over replacement. She also confirms Bayleigh’s power is good for at least 2 more evictions not just next week. That’s key information because it seemed like maybe he was under the impression they just needed to worry next week. This is great because he did attempt to ask Rachel about it. She shut him down refusing to say anything to him. Her talk she wanted to have...had nothing to do with the power. It was just her rationalizing why she believed Bayleigh about the Angela renom thing. I will be shocked if the damn light bulb doesn’t go off in this girl’s head. Tyler wasn’t supposed to know about Bay’s power. Rachel told Angela. Now she knows Angela blabbed. Plus the HG were shown a video this afternoon in preparation for the HOH competition. People scrambled to varying rooms in small groups to study. People are studying with Brett. This HAS to finally make her suspicious you would think. Seems as though Brett actually recalled the details the best after the video was over and people began studying. That would be amazing don’t you think? Brett being on the block the last two weeks, lost Winston, hasn’t won anything and turns around and wins the HOH! Plus he knows about Bay’s power so he and Tyler could surely make the best move to try and flush it out or BD Bayleigh! Needless to stay despite Foute spending the majority of their time hold up in the HOH together today we did actually have some new events develop between the HOH comp video preview, Bayleigh solidifying how naive she really is after her HOH reign, Sam/JC arguing, and Rachel withholding details saying she will share it when it’s pertinent. Rachel telling Angela was almost as dumb as Bayleigh telling Rachel about the power. A more emotionally stable and strategic player would have used this intel to propel her game not tank it. The minute Bayleigh told her and Rachel decides she doesn’t want to be a pawn she should have held that secret over Bayleigh’s head to get her to not make her a nominee. Rachel could have hinted to knowing and played it like keep me and I have a sure fire way to get over on Bay. Instead she impulsively reacted and fumbled any chance to use this information to her advantage. This is where we see that just because you know the ins and outs of this game doesn’t mean you can play it. Sorry Rachel but...your time in the BB game is about to come to an end and you aren’t even going back to Vegas able to proclaim you outlasted your good friend Jackie from BB17. I mean at least she made jury. Sam and JC had a heated exchange today! Sam was livid to hear JC say he threw the HOH endurance competition. She was angered because that implies she didn’t win it on her own merits but by default because people threw it. I’m confused by the whole idea her ego is bruised by realizing maybe JC threw it (he didn’t he slipped on accident). I mean Tyler threw it to her and that was ok? What difference does it make? My take is she didn’t care for feeling like JC was minimizing her comp abilities and she’s just spent. She’s tired, it’s almost week 6 people are starting to be annoyed by each other and she’s been feeling very insecure. Just a perfect estrogen fueled storm. We will see if anything comes from it but it got pretty tense. The only other new development was something Tyler mentioned that surprised me. Tyler said he didn’t think that Bayleigh was aligned with Haleigh and Angie but the way they’ve all been snuggled up in the HOH together today now he sees she is 100%. There you have it! Some new developments in the house today now that they are finally on LD. Being cooped up in the house always produces some movements because people are confined with less distractions or outlets. It still appears Brett will stay. Foute is still the dumbest alliance in history. Tyler and L6 still manages to win even when they lose. Check back tomorrow for the full breakdown of winners and losers in week 5. I will also be back with the results of the eviction and new HOH. Until then, the RealiTea is this season has no shortage of fun feeds and messy HG’s which means #teamgoodfeeds is still winning!

The last couple of days in the house have seemed like a reel that just keeps being played over and over. For the most part it’s been Rachel going to Bayleigh and Angela having her meltdowns. Tyler and Brett pushing the Scottie is our BFF and we’re like a F3 to sew distrust by Bayleigh. A couple HG creating some controversy but no real shifts in the weeks targets and victims. Bayleigh has set herself up for a blindside for the fourth week this summer. Rachel is checking in frequently about the vote but with all the wrong people. JC planting seeds to easily pin the upcoming flip vote on Scottie. Faysal being jealous. Bayleigh’s implosion of her own game talking too much and being both culturally insensitive and revealing her tendencies to be mean and intentionally messy. JC raising some eyebrows with his persistent OTT behaviors. This is basically on a reel that plays the same scenes over and over for the last 3 days. JC’s singing and perpetual need to identify various HG as gay, lesbian. Or most recently trans is causing a buzz inside and outside of the house. He is going get him nominated for breaking the rules all the time if Sam wins HOH. Not only for his defiance in following rules of the game but for repeatedly suggesting she’s a lesbian. She’s had enough of that nonsense. For Sam that’s just disrespectful in her mind. I see it coming. He’s ALWAYS getting called out for singing and 75% of the fish we get is because he’s always singing! In my best BB voice: STOP THAT! Last night he was irritating Rachel. He told her he’s been hearing she’s Trans. When asked who said that he replied, I did! Hahahaha” then told her she has an Adam’s apple and kept poking at her throat. She told him to stop and was dead serious. He being JC thought it was ok to keep doing it. The LF’s had a field day with this. People don’t embrace players that snub the rules of the game. Especially when we are the ones enduring all of the down feeds because he can’t follow the no singing rule!! Fans don’t appreciate people that mock the game. JC is definitely wearing out his welcome work HG and fans. People will begin to look around and decide okay 5 weeks is long enough. I don’t want to spend 2 more months with them. This is the stage of the game where people are quick to anger and slow to forgive. Sounds a lot like Foutte doesn’t It? This week they finally won power. Power by the one person in their alliance who appeared to have a brain and some common sense. Scottie technically gave them the power week 3 by taking out one of their targets in the bro’s but he’s never really been a part of their crew. Just an asset. Kaitlin was part of their crew and flipped when they thought they had power week 2. They thought Tyler was their crew week one and he didn’t do their dirty work. Let’s recap their stats. A Foutte ally has won 3/5 HOH’s A Foutte ally has been 3:5 evictees Blindside count: 4 (includes this week) Week 1 Steve evicted not Sam Week 2 Soggy BD’d and evicted wearing Soggy t-shirts week 3: Winston is evicted not Brett Week 5: Rachel is evicted not Brett How many blindsides does it take before you consider it might be time to find a new Squad? Identify the rat? Exterminate the problem. Oh wait they thought Kaitlin was the problem not their inability to control anything in the game. Bayleigh is about to be blindsided as both the outgoing HOH and a member of Foute. It’s looking pretty certain Brett will be staying Thursday night. She kept complaining for weeks how Chris stuck her with these people. She saw the problem but never looked for a solution. The reaming Foute players finally brought Scottie in on a new alliance. Scottie named in the Hive. Queen Bayleigh of course immediately says its her Bay hive. As for me the only hive I see is the ones I get all over my arms. I’m allergic to stupid so Foutte has been carrying my epi pen on the regular these days. Scottie is the only one of any of them that has actually accomplished anything successfully! He is responsible for separating the Bro’s. Not the Bro he wanted but still a win in the end. Scottie’s short lived success is about to come to a screeching halt this week. Scottie’s asinine attempt to make himself trend by wearing Soggy tee while voting him out is stuck to him like a wad of gum to a shoe. This is what will make pinning yet another vote flip on him when eviction night comes. Scottie definitely chose the wrong side of the house to ride hard for. Bayleigh has spent the majority of her week as HOH either purposefully stirring the pot between people for her own entertainment or constantly making both racial and culturally insensitive comments making her the most offensive HG in the game. Foute has always been a hot mess but Foute fans have always STAN’d hard for Queen Bay. They all were riding hard for the one member who they believed was smart and had the killer instinct to elicit undying loyalty to her fandom. That is until she won HOH and showed all of us exactly who she is. Bayleigh has shown herself to be one of the most controversial HG of the season. I mean that should tell you a lot considering Kaitlin was there for four weeks. Faysal wins when he shouldn’t and can’t win when he should. You know not winning an HOH when 3/5 HOH’s have been females doesn’t drive him insane. He’s competitive by nature but vastly overrated his ability to beast comps. He’s also still obsessing over Haleigh so we also know he really wants that room to himself to spend some 1-1 alone with Haleigh. Haleigh is well good at talking. The problem is after flexing some lip muscles last week she’s put back on the Foute blinders this week. She’s alienating herself from Faysal for his boorish tendencies. She’s spread her wings and is back to fluttering around with Brett and some degree Tyler and that’s not a good look as far as both Bay and Faysal are concerned. We’ve heard Bayleigh make numerous negative comments about Haleigh stepping up her flirt game again. Which is confusing since Bayleigh told her to work her flirt game? Why are you now trash talking her for executing the marching orders you gave her? What I’ve come to realize about Bayleigh is she is a messy messy gal. This week it seems her priority is to drive a wedge between players on her own side. She’s spent the majority of her time talking crap to Haleigh about Faysal and to Faysal about Haleigh. I don’t see where she benefits from this but she did the same thing week one and that didn’t turn out well for her. If that’s not bad enough she spilled all the tea on her power to Rachel. What’s sad is that isn’t even the worst of her actions this week. Bayleigh has managed to make at least 2-3 culturally sensitive or out right racially/ethnically insensitive comments a day since winning HOH. Here’s just a short list of some of the worst comments. These are on top of the myriad of little person insults that have been overflowing out of her mouth in reference to JC. Sunday’s episode barely scratched the surface. Things Bayleigh says: To Faysal: “I don’t think Haleigh understood the magnitude of doing that (using veto). This stays between me and you. Haleigh is kind of back to her old little ways. She was being all over Tyler today. I need you to focus. I need her to stick to the plan.” “The last thing I need is her (Haleigh) getting closer to Tyler and making our 6 person alliance a five person alliance.” To Haleigh: re: Faysal being displeased with drinking alcohol and her twerking in the jacuzzi... “That’s because he has a crush on you. He wants his ‘girl’ to be a good girl, he wants his girl to be a ‘wife’. He doesn’t want his girl to be running around doing anything. So Fessy can suck it! Because that’s unrealistic. Unless you want to go find a virgin. He probably does. Go to Pakistan and get you one. That’s what they do.” Re: convo w/Rachel to Sam: “you’re not the only one playing this game. Yeah your (Rachel) life is in jeopardy but...(if I have to name a replacement) You’re not worried about me! You’re just worried about taking yourself down. You want me to throw a comp to you? No! I’m just really annoyed she would even be doing that.” Yeah I mean how dare Rachel do everything possible to try and save herself? Even more shocking is why would she ever want you to actually keep your word when you told her that it’s ok if someone takes her off the block with the veto! I mean the nerve of people. To Rachel about possibly having to name a replacement nominee if Rachel comes down...Bayleigh says Rachel is backing her into a corner “you are by acting the way you’re acting. I want you to play your game. You know too much about my game (power) and all you’re thinking about is YOU! You’re not thinking about me!”....”this was a waste to tell you because now you’re panicking.” Rachel says she’s not freaking out now. Bay says, “well now I am because of the negative energy you brought in...” Well Bayleigh is half right. It was the worst possible move to tell Rachel about your power! Now all of L6 knows about it. The ONLY real advantage to it was it being anonymous nominations. Not anonymous anymore! Clearly Bayleigh doesn’t know how to play well with others. She’s spent too much time on the pageant circuit because she’s constantly stirring the pot to get people arguing so she can just sit back and watch. I don’t know how she ever won Miss Congeniality! That’s for damn sure. I used to think Bayleigh was the only sane one on Foute. I used to feel kinda bad she’s lumped in with people who don’t trust each other, argue constantly, and can’t follow through on anything. Now I’m beginning to wonder if maybe she wasn’t a key part of their problem. Tuesday afternoon Faysal and Rachel were having a conversation in the HOH and Bayleigh enters the room and says: “Are you two having a meeting in my room?” Faysal responds, “ I’m giving her advice.” Bayleigh This is MY ROOM! You can’t have a meeting in MY ROOM! Rachel- We’re not having a meeting? She’s perplexed Then Bayleigh hands her room over to Faysal and Haleigh Tuesday night to hash out their differences. I honestly feel as though much of her aggression about being in her room stems from her DR’s. Let’s not forget how pissed she was when they asked her who’s HOH this is...hers or Faysal’s. Since then she’s been riding him like a jockey at the Kentucky derby! As the week as played on Rachel campaigns with Foute a lot Monday. Tyler didn’t use the veto so Rachel and Brett remain OTB. She’s repeatedly trying to make sure she has the votes which would be great. It would be great if she realizes it’s her own team she needs to be working on. Foute are all voting to keep her and like Rachel believe L6 will be too. Angela is Rachel’s ride or die and she’s doing almost as much leg work to get her out as Tyler and Brett are. You could see on her face post veto meeting that she’s feeling it. She has a rational fear that Brett is going to stay over her. She’s sitting in the HOH looking sad and disheveled with an occasional tear escaping from the corner of her eye as Bayleigh revels in Tyler not using the veto. Rachel seriously could have prevented this week’s vote from going against her. All of the signs were there. She should have realized she was legitimately in danger and gone to work to save herself. She hasn’t thus far and I don’t see any signs of that changing. Meanwhile Angela went to Sam and explained Rachel threw them all UTB trying to get them OTB. She explained that Rachel was acting erratically and that’s not the kind of player she wants to align with. Too much drama. Sam agrees. This is the first week we’ve seen some of L6 finally crack. Fortunately for them they quickly identify the problem and plan to eradicate it this Thursday by voting Rachel out. Level six really is a cohesive unit that makes a plan and just never looks back. It’s why they are so effective. Angela and Kaycee check in frequently over the weekend. Repeatedly confirming they are in fact voting Rachel out. They also are working a plan to explain the flip to Bayleigh after the eviction to cover their tails with her. The plan is to tell Bayleigh she was throwing them UTB. Rachel made F2 with each of them and they found out. Then to top it off she told them about Bayleigh’s power. Angela pulled Tyler aside Monday and told him all the details she learned from Rachel. The only information he may not have a complete understanding of at this point is when it actually expires. Tyler then told Brett and Kaycee. Rachel casually mentioned she needed to talk to Tyler after she made ammends with him on Monday. It hasn’t happened yet but I fully expect Tyler to circle back around and find a time to talk to her so he can ensure he has all the pertinent details. This is important to do before she can figure out that she’s going home! That will be key! Brett and Angela has decided Brett will reveal that Rachel told him about the AGA during his eviction speech. They’ve decided to use that opportunity to set up a staged scenario that will justify why they vote to keep Brett to Bayleigh. Again well oiled machines. We have arrived at Wednesday morning and it’s still looking Brett is most likely going to be the one staying. The only real news is Bayleigh has stepped up her mean girl game to match her bigotry but against her own people. Haleigh is heard telling Angie early this morning she’s over Faysal. F$#*% him. Why is he not spending time with me? He hasn’t spoken one word to me in 24 hrs and can’t figure out why but says she’s not sure she can work with someone like that anymore. This comes on the heels of Bayleigh’s racist Muslim comments yesterday. Not only that but all of this has been created by Bayleigh to begin with. She is the one that told Haleigh bourse after she won Veto during their 1-1 that she needs to step up her flirt game again and get to work hustling the guys again. Then Bayleigh complains to Fessy that she’s spending too much time with Tyler. She’s constantly saying and doing things to feed the green eyed monster in him where Haleigh is concerned. I’ve seen her tell Faysal over and over he needs to keep her in check. He needs to essentially manipulate her into being what he wants. Now as recent at 3 pm she’s back in the HOH complaining to Faysal how Haleigh is tripping. They can’t afford to lose her. She’s worried about how much she is hanging with both Tyler and Brett. It’s Very reminiscent of what she’s done over and over. She talked crap and stoked the flame when the love triangle drama happened week 1. She and Soggy fueled that small spark turning it into a wild fire. Which inevitably sent Soggy Home. As soon as Bayleigh and Faysal compare notes Bayleigh is going to be without anyone. Rachel is the worst off this week of course. Don’t feel too bad for her. She volunteered to go up as a pawn. She then proceeded to wig out and question her own team that’s been united and consistent all season. Sorry not sorry girl! You choreographed your own eviction. Bayleigh could have actually used this HOH to get a more accurate read on the house. Instead she elected to expose her power and never shut up! She talked more than anyone during her 1–1’s. She persistently has spilled gallons more tea than she’s been served. Listen she was infected with a severe case of HOH-itis and has voluntarily quarantined herself to the HOH room much of the week. How are you ever supposed to know who is talking to whom and where people are if your locked away in your princess tower. Listen if ANYONE from L6 side wins this next HOH Bayleigh will be the target. They all know about her power. If it were me I would reveal I know about it. I would agree to nominate two people if she doesn’t use her power and promise her safety. Then I would make sure Veto is used and BD her! Problem solved and there goes another power put in play by production without ever being used. Worse case she does use it to change an L6 HOH nominees and can still be BD’d. Burning her power will be critical since she’d hoped to use it during a DE when everything happens at a pace and people won’t have time to speculate who invoked their power! That’s out the door since all of L6 knows already. What could make that more interesting? Let others from Foute discover she told Rachel and not them! Lol. Fortunately for her, for now, L6 I trying to hide the fact they know about it. Even if she did use it. I would team up with the nominees she puts up and still BD her! She can’t be trusted. She has zero value as an ally. She creates a lot of the drama. Bayleigh has made herself into a huge target with her big mouth and like Rachel has no one to blame but herself. The only other loser this week is Scottie. Brett is likely to stay. JC, Brett, and Tyler have spent the week setting him up to fall and fall hard. That stupid plan to trend was a move that set himself up to be the fall guy of BB20. Tyler hatched the plan to paint Scottie as his BF to try and persuade Bayleigh to make him the re-nom with veto. While that didn’t work the time he and Brett both have invested in hanging out with him has reaped rewards. Bayleigh sees them and doesn’t like it. She’s already sketched out by him so this makes her even more suspicious. That’s great for them! Tyler got JC to promise he would vote out Brett if Tyler didn’t use the veto. Remember JC was on her short list. No pun intended. JC agreed but ends up piggy backing Tyler’s plans and wants to pin his vote that will be the swing vote onto Scottie. JC has done a magnificent job of planting small seeds and watering them the last few days. Small comments here and there sowing doubt in Bayleigh and Faysal’s minds should do just that! Scottie is sure to be blamed! If I’m in the game and someone who never talks to me suddenly wants to be my shadow...that’s cause for pause. What’s the motive? Why all of a sudden do you want to kick it with me? This would have my alarm bells ringing but Scottie seems oblivious. As we head into Wednesday there are Just a few more details worth mentioning. Bayleigh feels as though she’s gained soooo much information being HOH. She told Scottie Tuesday that, “it’s amazing how things become so clear when you’re HOH and can see what’s going on.” Well that would be true if she was actually paying attention. Based on what she believes plans are being made. The problem is they are still making plans based on bad information. She genuinely believes she’s pulled Rachel to her side. She genuinely believes Tyler is a sweetheart and isn’t coming for her. She genuinely believes she did some great work this week and has made Rachel/Angela everyone’s targets heading into next week. Foute+ Scottie genuinely believes Brett will be voted out. That’s not going to happen. Bayleigh/Haleigh said tonight that it seems everyone in the house will be targeting Rachel & Angela next week. They all agree the next three they need to eliminate are Rachel/Angela/Kaycee! Boy they are really going to be surprised come Thursday! LOL Well considering all three ladies are L6 and Rachel will be going home this week that’s also wrong. Bayleigh genuinely believes Angela and Kaycee are on their own with Brett out. She’s now loving Tyler and every plan discussed doesn’t include targeting him. That’s great for him! Especially is she does end up blaming the flip on Scottie. Haleigh and Faysal dominate the day Tuesday. Again thanks to Bayleigh. This morning Haleigh woke up mad. She’s annoyed Faysal hasn’t spoken to her. Faysal is annoyed with the twerking, alcohol, staying up with Brett until 5 am in the hammock. He’s obsessing over the fact Brett was rubbing Haleigh’s leg. He’s pissed at Tyler for hanging with her as well and Bayleigh spends the day stoking the fire. He’s really isolated himself away from her this week. The positive is he’s spending more time with Brett and Brett will be there next week. The guys are looking primed to form a side alliance to combat the growing concerns over an AGA. By Tuesday night Haleigh and Faysal have it out in the HOH room. He’s saying he has no interest in her inside or outside at this point. She agrees but is also annoyed he feels that way when she has been telling him they can see what happens outside the house. Now he says he doesn’t want to look at her but he can play the game with her. She says knowing he feels that way she doesn’t want to play with him in the game. Bayleigh continues to create the drama between her teammates. Then proceeds to complain about being stuck listening to the drama. However she continued to talk to one then runs right to the other and plays telephone game. I have not empathy for her. That and she physically threatens everyone when interrogating them. Tonight it was Brett. She has a chat with him about the votes and if he were to stay, pretending she hasn’t decided which she prefers goes. She told him “Going forward we need to have better communication. If it doesn’t then I will literally kill you.” When he laughs it off she’s says, “no in all sincerity.” Later Bayleigh shares with Scottie that she’s convinced Brett and Sam are aligned. When Sam was questioned about her vote Bayleigh asserts that Sam Is likely to vote personally. If that’s the case she does realize Sam is more likely to want Brett to stay. Finally she did get something right! Let’s see she’s threatened to gut Scottie and spread out his intestines. She’s physically threatened Tyler. Threatened JC. Threatened Brett. So yeah that’s her great social game. Tyler is not trusting Bayleigh. He sees her. We here him explain to JC that Bayleigh is always complaining about Faysal to him. Tyler feels like she’s trying to get him to say something so she can run to Faysal. So yeah Tyler has Bayleigh all figured out! This week’s winners are Brett if he does in fact stay. Tyler for navigating the Kaitlin exit as well as the Bayleigh HOH. JC for getting away with last week’s hinky vote and very methodically maneuvering Scottie to be set up to take the fall for this week’s vote. Right into Tuesday evening he was still planting seeds with Bayleigh and Faysal. The one I think doesn’t see the likely danger she’s created for herself is Angela. Angela was a key player in flipping their own alliance against her ride or die Rachel. Brett isn’t much of an ally since he’s really not strongly linked to anyone since Winston left. She’s helped set up Tyler to be good on all sides. Angela may be thinking Rachel is easily replaced by Kaycee but she has no idea that Tyler and Kaycee are a F2 Bun-mance. There you have it! The RealiTea is Bayleigh may get one of her future targets out with a Rachel exit but she’s going to be on the wrong side of the vote for the 4th week. There’s still time for something unexpected to derail Rachel’s eviction. I mean this is BB and nothing is a sure thing until the final votes are tallied. Either way I think Bayleigh’s HOH was a complete failure due to her own actions and behaviors and I wholeheartedly expect yet another gaping mouth reaction to this week’s outcome! I will let you know how this all shakes out with the pre-eviction blog on Thursday.

Thursday night went until about 6am for Bayleigh and Faysal. Last we left off time Bayleigh had fumbled through her 1-1’s and started to create some concerns for her longevity in the game. That train didn’t stop at the station on Friday. Sam didn’t have a 1-1 with Bayleigh Thursday night. We start the day with these two In the HOH finally having some alone time. Nothing too important comes from this except Bayleigh was considering nominating JC. This is when she calls him a munchkin to Sam, asserting she doesn’t need that little munchkin running around with her name in his mouth. After that Bayleigh has a conversation with Rachel. Bayleigh reveals she’s considering using Rachel as a pawn next to Brett. Rachel responds by throwing out everyone else’s name both in her own alliance and Foute’s. Bayleigh’s like nah you’re the best choice. It’s clear Rachel isn’t happy to hear and this. We watch Rachel unravel and be very dramatic the rest of the day. Later you’ll never guess what Bayleigh does later to soften the blow? Friday has me grappling with mixed emotions all day long. Bayleigh makes these horrible mistakes just one after another. As a fan of the game watching someone who has the tools to be a great player it’s crushing to watch her devolve. Conversely as a Tyler fan I’m over the moon because more often than not her mistakes benefit his game. Bayleigh says don’t worry it’s ok because guess what? I have the 3rd power app! Not only that but proceeds to explain exactly what it is and how it works. She even tells her when it expires! I’m floored! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Why? Why? Admittedly Rachel plays out Friday horribly after realizing she’s likely going to be a pawn. However despite promising Bayleigh she won’t tell anyone...Rachel goes the the HN room and tells Angela. Yeah Tyler! Angela will tell Kaycee and or Brett who will tell Tyler and that’s a huge advantage. If Tyler gets a hold of this information Bayleigh is dead in the water. What was Bayleigh’s motive for telling Rachel she has a power app? It seems to console and reassure her that when she uses it she won’t put Rachel up then because she’s using her now. While Rachel is reeling at the fact she now knows Bayleigh’s secret and can plot how to use it to her advantage looking ahead she’s still not dealing well with being a pawn. I blame being nominated on Rachel. She did tell Bayleigh at one point if she needed to use her as a pawn she could. You never volunteer to go OTB! Never! Ever! Never! Rachel tries to walk it back but she’s already started the ball rolling down hill. Nothing will prevent Bayleigh from doing it now. Rachel tells Angela about the new information about Bay’s app. They decide they can use it to trick Bayleigh into burning her app. If they get HOH they will feed her imaginary nominations so Bayleigh is compelled to use her power to change them. Then they need a veto to be used and Bayleigh will be prime pickings for a BD exit. Did you think that was bad? Bayleigh takes her reveal a step further. She says it’s anonymous! She lays out the fact that no one will know it’s me. I plan to put up Scottie and Tyler. It’s perfect because no one will know it’s me! Even spilling she plans to use it to protect Faysal. If neither Rachel nor Faysal win HOH she plans to use it. Sure Bayleigh. It would be a great plan if you hadn’t just shown ALL of your cards to Rachel! You know the Rachel who is in an alliance with Tyler and Brett! There is absolutely no logical or justifiable reason for Bay to have shared this. It’s mind blowing! Later she clarifies she’s not able to name the replacement nominees, the actual HOH will have control over those. There is some debate whether she fibbed on the expiration timeline but Bay’s app is good up UNTIL F8. Bay explains when Rachel tries to confirm her understanding that it will be valid another 3 evictions which for me, lines up. Week 5 will be the 5th evictee and she’s not including this week of course because she’s HOH. So by Bayleigh’s estimation in this situation then 6th, 7th, 8th evictions it’s valid which lines up with the actual timeline. At that point we’re at F8. The one thing about Bay’s app-that was most dangerous Tyler is it really renders his ability to maneuver his way around her app with his. Tyler has to believe he’s in danger. Tyler’s app is really only most useful during a Veto ceremony. If he used in during an HOH nomination he wouldn’t then also he safe from being a re-nom. There is a 99% chance Tyler will get this new info. Angela has proven she cannot ever keep anything to herself. If he does and he knows he’s going to be nominated by Bayleigh’s power when one of his closest allies is HOH he can actually avoid hitting the block all together against her power. This was absolutely a disastrous move for Bayleigh. On the other hand it is likely to be a colossal benefit for him.! Now imagine Bayleigh once Rachel leaves the room. She immediately says to herself why can’t I shut my own mouth! As much as she kicks herself in the butt for a moment. That doesn’t last too long because she does not demonstrate she really grasps magnitude of concern she should in admitting it was something she shouldn’t have done. I wish I could tell you now that’s the end of astronomically preposterous moves by Bayleigh on Friday. It’s not. Despite the fact she’s solid in her decision to put Brett/Rachel OTB she has another conversation with JC. She’s been dissuaded by Faysal from doing so but she wants to squeeze JC a bit. Because it’s always a good idea to go ahead tell someone you’re not nominating them that you planned to do so. This was not a negotiation situation as I described yesterday. Hey if I don’t put you up I need you to xyz. Nope. Not what this is. I mean it is on the surface but her motives here were more to make sure he knows he was a consideration. In this convo Bayleigh plays like she’s not locked yet. Once JC hears Rachel is at the top of the list he’s ecstatic. He HATES Rachel the way Bayleigh hates him. Bayleigh says to him if she does nominate her (over him) she has JC’s word he will vote Brett out. JC doesn’t lie well here, we know immediately he will vote out Rachel over Brett but I don’t think his circular answer gives her pause here. Bayleigh goes on to say this also means JC won’t come after her and he says, don’t worry there’s other people I’m targeting BEFORE you. Oh JC. His responses and how he walks people around his actual motives is always amusing to watch. I don’t know how someone who has been as insightful and watchful as Bayleigh doesn’t know this. The only rational explanation is she’s clinging to what she wants to hear over what he’s actually saying both verbally and non-verbally. The Rachel convo where Bayleigh leaks her app intel happens when she goes and finds Rachel crying about being nominated. She’s left the HOH because there’s been a blow out between Bayleigh, Faysal, and Haleigh. Bayleigh and Haleigh go all in on Faysal! Bayleigh was in the HOH. She now summons Faysal to come upstairs. She’s asserting that Faysal needs to trust her. Neither likes the fact that Faysal is being so loyal to JC! How dare he! Bayleigh is again mirroring Sam’s approach to HOH. She tells Faysal to stop freaking out about JC! He’s not going OTB. She clearly is unhappy with how hard Faysal has been riding for JC. She tells him he needs to be more loyal to Haleigh (and herself) over JC! She again tells Haleigh she needs to spend more time with Faysal. This loyalty that Faysal and JC have to each other is what leads Bayleigh to say, “If I don’t nominate JC that little thing better be loyal!” Wow! There we go again with the little people slurs. Yet another slip that gets fans crashing the stock market in their rush to dump Bayleigh stock. Someone needs to check Bayleigh’s ego the way she used to do to Soggy. Although she’s HOH right now these comments will come out. Sam is likely to eventually tell JC that Bayleigh called him a munchkin. Faysal is not high on being able to keep information to himself. With the exception of Bay’s power there’s nothing he doesn’t run to someone else. If these controversial comments are revealed in the house it won’t be good for Bayleigh. It’s already not good for her outside the house. Fans do not like this. Even fans who have been STAN’ing for her are aghast at some of her comments as well as her treacherous game play as HOH. They aren’t sympathetic to her turning around and making these types of comments after dismissing her reaction to what JC said last week on the Sunday episode anymore. This tide is turning and the more she does it all day Friday (calling Scottie and albino and then the support of Sam’s comments and shaming Haleigh) the less chance she has to redeem herself. I knew that winning HOH was bad for her game but no one could have imagined her sharp tongue would make her the week’s villain. Like Sam Bay’s telling everyone how she thinks they need to be playing the game. We’ve already heard Bayleigh l. last night, tell Haleigh to be more grateful to Faysal for saving her. This is all a growing tumbleweed of angst among the three! Its not even 3 pm! What is happening! ? This sermon from Bayleigh is trenchant! I mean nominations have not even happened at this point in the day Friday. On top of the fact that these 3 are the power in the HOH this week and fighting again within their own alliance! Definitely something you may want to flashback to shortly after 2 pm Friday when it all begins. Faysal’s doesn’t allow him to be told what to do by women so you know he doesn’t take this lying down! He bites back with clarifying he doesn’t take orders from them. You don’t tell me what to do! This escalated into a fight with Haleigh which is what sends Bayleigh back into the actual game emerging from her HOH in a rare sighting downstairs. This is when she finds Rachel and all of that unfolds. Faysal also doesn’t heed any of the warnings the ladies bestowed on him. Not long after his talk with Haleigh and Bayleigh he goes to JC. Faysal tells JC in no uncertain terms that HE is solely responsible for keeping JC off the block. No one else just him. He tells him everyone else said nominate him. Everyone! Bayleigh wanted to and he alone prevented it and JC better recognize it. Now for us much as Faysal’s bravado here is a bit over the top. The one 1-1 that influences Bayleigh the most the night before was Kaycee. She really reinforces why JC needs to go in between others from L6 suggestions of either Scottie or JC being the biggest targets right now. So I will give Faysal all of the credit for taking the heat off of JC. But listen at this point Level 5/6 could actually let Foute have the power every week! Foute just persistently implode on each other. They are the most maladjusted team we’ve seen on BB. Faysal and B/H’s argument about his loyalty did also do some damage. They are in fact their own worst enemies. Left to their own devices Foute would probably just pick each other off while Tyler and L5 sit on the balcony snacking on puppy chow mix Sam makes. I mean seriously! I mean Bayleigh was the only one we all saw with any sense! Faysal comes off his tussle with Bayleigh and Haleigh and has a quick chat with Tyler. I am actually pleasantly surprised to see Faysal making some of his own moves. This new found confidence after last weeks veto has him branching out more and more which is why the ladies are annoyed but it’s good for him. Faysal confirms to Tyler that he is safe this week. Don’t worry you aren’t going up. This is music to Tyler’s ears. Faysal and Tyler reaffirmed that they have to stick together, these guys, because the women are going to take shots at them to get to the end with all females. Yet another example where Tyler playing 3-5 steps ahead of everyone really positions him well week after week. Tyler brought this up to Faysal last week. Bayleigh actually inadvertently reinforces Tyler’s theory when she told Faysal about the all girls alliance that Kaitlin didn’t. Tyler has also branded the connection they have both being victims of Kaitlin’s ways. Faysal is putty in Tyler’s hand. It’s literally a talk about how it’s crazy Kaitlin was trying to pit them against each other and now jokes on her she’s gone and they’re actually going to work together. It’s true Tyler controlled much of the actions in the game the first two weeks. The marks of an exceptional player really are made when they can overcome obstacles when things aren’t in their control when they have someone like Scottie or Sam that they can’t convince to make a specific move. Tyler even when he’s not writing the story line of events he finds a way to make lemon drops out of those lemons. He’s quick on his feet. Pivots unnoticed and has created so many paths for himself over the first weeks he really can change his direction up and turn a roadblock into a private road that leads to a bridge where he can now work the global view of the game. I’m so dazzled by his game play! He has almost the same amount of macro control over the game as Paul did but has endeared himself week after week with whoever he needed to. This is the type of game play I admire the most! You can play this game and lie and manipulate without being a jackass. You can macro manage and stay on top. I expect Tyler to be there at F6. I still see a clear path to F 3. Especially if he continues to shape the direction of the game week after week so magnificently despite being seen as a threat by people. No one hates him and with only one more HG leaving pre-jury that is huge considering the ones left will be the jury picking the winner. This is the polar opposite of how Rachel is playing. All day she’s emotionally unraveling. While Rachel does have some strengths through her knowledge of the game she has just as many weaknesses. Rachel does not perform under pressure. She can plot ahead. She can make some moves to set herself and Angela up when she sees a potential problem. Rachel cannot pivot. When things don’t go as planned she comes unglued. She frequently curls up in a ball and cries. She’s not happy about being nominated. She’s been on slop. She’s worked this female alliance angle but not which guys to target enough. Bayleigh then wavers in her original agreement that if veto is used Scottie will be the replacement and now she’s going to melt back into a mess. Bayleigh walks back her original assertion. Telling Rachel that if Rachel wins the veto Scottie will be the likely renom. However if Brett comes down then someone else would need to go up because she doesn’t actually want Scottie to go home. This of course freaks Rachel out she’s OTB! Level 5’s hope has been to get Scottie or JC OTB to potentially prevent losing another number. Rachel also hears that both Scottie and JC suggested she go on the block so she’s even more motivated now. She’s absolutely incensed when she learns this. It’s these moments where we see she can’t act in the moment or when under pressure. Pressure on Rachel doesn’t produce a diamond it’s fat more reflective of a smash cake. 4:44 pm SR Tyler/Brett confirming Brett isgoing to go up. Both discussing how absurd it is that Rachel has told Bay she can put her OTB next to Brett. Brett is puzzled why he’s her target. What did he do to her? Tyler says he already lost Winston. Really? Hey best friend Brett you were always a target! The eviction speech gas lighting Angie didn’t shrink the target on you! Why wouldn’t you be her target? Did you seriously think because you spent a few days in the HN room with Bay she’s gonna ride for you? I can see being upset she’s coming for you but to act indignant about her reasons is foolish. Rachel does eventually persuade Bayleigh to agree to put Scottie up as a replacement nominee. Only in the event veto is used. We actually get a full day of events with a very late nomination ceremony. Bayleigh does in fact nominate Brett and Rachel. Haleigh/Rachel chat in HN room post nominations 7pm Ish. Haleigh clearly doing damage control. Rachel says they need to know who has the other power app. She says they know it’s either Scottie/JC (it’s not). She’s fuming after hearing both JC/Scottie threw her UTB to Bayleigh via Bayleigh. Haleigh says well we need to know who has the last 2 (Sam’s is out). This is key for Rachel to file away. Haleigh doesn’t know about Bay’s power. Rachel does. That’s a great advantage. She needs some confirmation that Haleigh isn’t pretending she doesn’t know but I expect this to have some recourse. I should also briefly mention that Faysal has a conversation with Tyler about the apps. It’s very surface at first. Remember to our surprise he has managed not to leak he knows Bay’s power. Let’s also realize who he is talking to! Tyler! Tyler already suspects Bayleigh has one and Faysal gets a tad more specific in a non-committal way. Faysal says what if a power is where someone can change the HOH’s nominations? Tyler is savvy. He may not know right away but...it’s Faysal who doesn’t know the game. Saying it to Tyler who does know the game. Who does know 100% Faysal is with Bayleigh. It may not take Rachel/Angela spilling for him to put these pieces together at some point. Rachel does make one smart move Friday. She pulls Sam aside as inquires about what the other apps were because she got hers the first week. Ironically Sam specifically remembered the Identity Theft and the You Cloud or something app. That’s funny because those are the only other two selected. These results in them trying to determine how the powers work. The ‘girls alliance’ makes a quick pit stop with Bayleigh. Angela uses this opportunity to push the getting Scottie or JC agenda but it doesn’t seem to stick here. JC doesn’t do himself or Faysal any favors when he goes to Bay after Faysal credits himself with saving JC. JC tells Bayleigh what Faysal says. He is so wrapped up in his own agendas he has no idea that Bayleigh hates him as much as she does. This bomb dropping that Faysal just told him he was the sole reason Bay doesn’t target him won’t have the desired effect. In fact it only infuriated Bay with Faysal more. JC is another one that has suddenly lost his advantage in this game. JC is immovable. We know that. But since last week we’ve seen him like a dog with a bone in his own head. He’s completely failing to see that what he wants and what’s actually happening don’t align. JC is convinced Tyler was Kaitlin’s b*#%$. He’s convinced his F5 goals with making it there with JC/Faysal/Haleigh/Tyler/Bay is an actual guarantee and he’s not working on other paths. He swears it was his own words that convinced Bayleigh and doesn’t credit Faysal at all. Yet another player, like Kaitlin that’s shaping up to be the driving factor in his own demise. Bayleigh has another convo with Tyler. This is where Bayleigh asks him to play Veto if she gets HG choice she Wants to pick him. She tells him she suspects either JC/Scottie/Tyler has a power. Which Tyler hilariously responds to by casually saying ha ha that’s funny because I think either YOU/Scottie/JC have the other powers. So we see them getting a bit more comfortable in their exchanges. I think Bayleigh wants to test Tyler. I think she wants him to win and not use it to prove to her he’s with her now. Or at least not with ‘them’. Unfortunately this will become an issue later on Saturday. In case your not aware people still don’t identify Tyler as being part of the team on the other side of the house. Tyler does not need to be in this veto. Especially now that Bayleigh is getting annoyed with Rachel’s dramatics. This is playing into JC’s desires. JC will be working to get Rachel voted out if Brett/Rachel nominations don’t change. From what I see Angela and Rachel are a duo. They’re next next loyalty lies with L6. Then the girls alliance if that fails. From what we know by the end of Friday is Bayleigh wants Brett/Rachel to stay OTB. She doesn’t want Veto used but if Rachel wins she’s likely to consider using Scottie as a pawn. I know she’s mentioned Sam/Angela but I think her desire to guarantee a guy goes out will win. The real mystery is will she go ahead and throw JC OTB if Brett comes down. For now that’s the most likely scenario. Before I wrap up Friday there’s one more pressing controversy to share. Bayleigh’s diarrhea of the mouth stirred up some trouble in conversations with both Faysal and Haleigh. Bayleigh has a conversation with Haleigh where she insists Haleigh needs to be nicer to Faysal for saving her. Haleigh’s noticeably taken aback saying I feel like I’ve been nice to him. Bayleigh basically says she needs to be nicer to him because he saved her. Haleigh replies she feels like she’s been nice to him...the conversation gets more and more awkward from there but essentially Haleigh better pay more attention to him. Remember Faysal said things of a similar nature before using it alluding to the fact Haleigh needed to pay more attention to him and only him if he saved her. Bayleigh’s comments here are very reminiscent of that. Bayleigh spoke to Faysal late last night after a DR session where she was asked who’s HOH is this? She wakes him up after midnight. Bayleigh rips him for saying anything to JC. She tells him that he’s making her look stupid and like he’s running her HOH and she’s not having that! She demands Faysal not tell anyone anything in the house if it’s not been approved by her first. She’s accusing him of very comments which he repeatedly denies. Eventually she tells him nobody likes JC but him which we all know isn’t true. When she doesn’t get any more from that interrogation she pivots to his relationship with Haleigh. This is where things now get disturbing to me. Bayleigh tells him that the issues between them are messing up her game up the game. Remember she already stirred the pot with them earlier and goes in on him then. Problem is after that JC throws Faysal UTB . She says she doesn't think he is getting the opportunity to rely on Haleigh. She goes on to say that Haleigh said that Faysal needed more attention from her. Baleigh says Haleigh should be his ride or die, but she is not giving it to him. Actually Haleigh asked Bayleigh because of things she was saying that if she thinks she needs to give him more attention. Really Bayleigh? Who are you to again tell people how they should be playing the game when you had a hissy fit because how dare Rachel he concerned about her own safety! How dare Rachel want to come off the block because you then have to nom another person! Who are you to tell Haleigh she needs to fall on a sword for Faysal for using the veto on her. The way Bayleigh words that sounds an awful like how Faysal worded it at 3 am when he said she ‘owes’ him and should only be paying attention to him. It’s gross! Now I’m getting annoyed. Faysal’s Head is spinning. He’s like a deer caught in the head lights. It’s clear whatever was talked about in the DR just twisted her little power trip into a category 5 tornado now! Faysal keeps telling Bay she’s wrong. Over and over and she tells barreling down on him telling him he’s wrong? Now Bayleigh questions him about using the veto on Haleigh. She’s saying he WAS (he was) expecting something from Haleigh in return. Faysal talks about the fact that he and Haleigh don’t talk much. He again says she’s busy hanging out with other guys and he’s done what he can do prove himself to Haleigh so ….. Bayleigh says Haleigh pops off and says things, (still insisting they are a pair). Now this is all also after she rips Haleigh earlier in the evening saying she does owe Faysal. She should be at his feet begging to be his ride or die. Bay needs her to go ahead and do what she’s supposed to and keep Faysal on a leash while she’s at it. It literally sounds like she’s pumping Haleigh out for her own benefit with no regard for how Haleigh feels or what Haleigh wants. Now Miss all knowing is laying out how exactly he should manipulate (handle) Haleigh. Since he’s older he needs to ‘teach’ her. His orders are to be the mature one in this relationship. Actually telling him stroke her, compliment her, give her attention, then tell her what you want. What is happening with her? Did Kaitlin leaves some crystals and oils that have transformed her into the new all knowing all seeing player in the house? I’m seriously shocked. Bayleigh thinks Faysal should ‘teach’ Haleigh how to have a relationship. Faysal says these circumstances aren't real in the house. Bayleigh insists he has feelings for Haleigh outside the game, no matter what his worries are. Faysal is sitting on the bed, arms crossed, staring towards his feet, and Bayleigh has leaned over into his sight line. Bayleigh says if you find someone young, coach them. Ew! This is toxic. Faysal tries repeat what Haleigh has been saying since day one that a relationship with Haleigh will interfere with the game. It’s almost as if he hears how ridiculous he sounded talking to Haleigh and doesn't want to do that. If it would work out later after the game fine. Faysal explains he wanted to express his opinions in the house by showing her when he uses the veto on Haleigh. He has also asserted that regardless using the veto was a good game move. At the end of the day for him it was a game move. Bayleigh instructs him not to tell Haleigh that Bayleigh asked about Haleigh. This is one of the sharpest turns I’ve seen a player make in the game after winning HOH. She’s all over the place. Bayleigh is showing way too many cards. She is running her mouth like there are no secrets in this house. She is being way too pushy and demanding over things she really has no business talking about nevertheless making demands about. She’s acting and speaking in vile ways that will 100% hurt her game even more than they have. This is a player that was sitting pretty the end of week 4. Perfectly situated between the two sides. She really essentially had a free pass for a couple weeks and then her power in her back pocket a couple weeks into Jury to easily glide into F5 or F6. I just don’t understand how she’s now acting like a day one player who comes in too hard too fast and blows up their own game! Imagine she does all of this and doesn’t end up sending out one of her own targets? Imagine Brett stays a renom she thinks is the perfect pawn like her pal Angela ends up going home? At this point she’s made jury but she went from the top plunging to the bottom in many ways so far and it’s only day 2 of her HOH. After the last 36 hours I’m kinda thankful we are five hours into Veto comp. I needed a respite from the insanity of it all. Clearly it’s likely an individual comp with everyone separated based on how long this is taking? Southern California is experiencing a heat wave and they were warned and told to stay hydrated. The veto players were drawn this morning. I will be back tomorrow with all of Saturday’s events but for now I will leave you with the veto players since it is currently under way! HOH-Bayleigh Nominees: Brett/Rachel Tyler JC Sam The only one I see here as an issue is Tyler . He would have to either use it as Brett/Rachel want which means some heavy lifting on Bayleigh. Or he upsets someone on his own side not using it to earn more trust from Bayleigh. I hope he just throws it. At one point Bayleigh did say she wanted the veto winner to use it in Rachel but that’s not what she really wants. I think she may have a coronary if JC wins though. LOL. The RealiTea is this season of BB there’s no shortage of drama, excitement, and shocking twists and turns most organically created by the players. This isn’t forced by production! I’m here for that! **Feeds return around 6:30pm and of course Tyler won Veto. LOL!

The drama didn’t stop at Thursday’s eviction! With Kaitlin’s shocking exit we thought we would be able to exhale along with the remaining 12 HG’s. The bad energy is gone! People can chill and play the game without so much tension. Think again! The HOH competition was another chance comp. Bayleigh went first. We quickly learn no one that followed her was able to bump her from the winner’s circle. This is one the benefit of the doubt I will toss her. As you read in my week 4 analysis of the winners and losers at the end of the week Bayleigh was in a phenomenal position in the game! From that stand point alone winning was the last thing she should have wanted to do. Bayleigh is now HOH and NO ONE could have predicted just how bad this would be for her game! Feeds return and the first thing I see is Tyler with Bayleigh in the geo room. He’s working his misty magic! Tyler understands that the house sees him as Kaitlin’s victim. As a result that means Foute all see him as a free agent prime for the picking. They’re wrong. As usual. However, this is fantastic for Tyler! Bayleigh doesn’t trust Tyler. In this situation she sees him as vulnerable. She’s projecting here because how she felt when Soggy left and he knows this. Tyler has invested in pre-eviction post eviction work on Bayleigh. Prior to eviction Tyler went to Bayleigh crying. He made himself appear vulnerable and elicits empathy from her when her showmance went home. Then as soon as feeds return we find Tyler alone with Bayleigh in geo room. He’s again working on Bayleigh and she is definitely subscribing to his edition of how he’s lost now without Kaitlin. He’s lying next to her as she is now playing with his hair! Tyler has done some GREAT work here with Bayleigh. I’ve said over and over these two ‘see each other’ when they talk. They also see where the other is a possible asset down the road. I do think she’s fallen for the emotional manipulation he uses capitalizing on her own experience when Soggy left week 2 and says as much! She says it’s his chance to reset this week. With Kaitlin gone they can now actually talk and develop their own relationship. While Bay/Tyler exchange sympathies for all the carnage Kaitlin left behind others are speculating about the hinky vote that JC cast. This is getting a lot of attention despite the excessive drama surrounding tonight’s live show. Again the universe is working for the higher Good (LOL) where Tyler is concerned. I expect this to continue to be discussed as the week plays out. Some HG’s are throwing around names of people like Rachel. Most suspect Scottie. Everyone is certain that vote was done to try and pin it on Tyler. That’s perceived as trying to kick him while he’s down. Which is exactly why most suspect Scottie. Scottie throwing that vote onto Soggy wasn’t the shocking part of his decision week 3. What is following him from that is the assumption that he’s sneaky and evil in his game play and that makes him the prime candidate regardless of what he says. In this game you must analyze every move. You have to evaluate gains and losses. Players should never do something just because in that moment it has a purpose. This game requires you consider moving forward what are the potential pitfalls and is that short gain worth chancing long term losses. This is where the average player typically fails. Bay gets her HOH room just after midnight. Now Bayleigh gives a HOH speech once the excitement settled down? She tells everyone she will be having 1-1’s but she won’t have people disrespecting her room the way people (Foute actually) did week 1. Bay goes on to say people are welcome to visit her. Just understand they won’t be using it as their hang out spot. Seems Sam’s approach has had some residual effects. I’m already seeing signs that the new found power is going to her head. I am NOT exaggerating with what I am about to share. Bayleigh took possession of the HOH room and as soon as she crosses the threshold all decorum and common sense is essentially excommunicated from her game! It starts with her HOH speech. As you see it is parallel to Sam’s. This mistake keeps building steam late into Friday evening. Go ahead and get comfortable because this is going to be a bumpy ride. Bayleigh opens her organic bottle of wine and downs most of the bottle while preparing to hold court. She did share a few sips but that left her most of the bottle and the LAST thing any HOH should do is have 1-1’s when they’re tipsy. Bayleigh says she wants to let others come to her. She says she plans to let other people do most of the talking. That’s not what we see happen. Bayleigh dominates most of the convos that follow and talks right over and through everyone saying way too much! Haleigh has the first 1-1. While they begin talking Faysal wanders in. This doesn’t sit well with Haleigh. She is like get out it’s my 1-1! Haleigh and Bayleigh both point out they are having their 1-1. They tell him he should leave to not make it look like they’re conspiring as a group. Faysal lingers clearly annoyed at Haleigh’s responses. He VERY slowly putting on socks to the point they stop talking and watch him. It worked he was uncomfortable enough he does exit. Haleigh starts to talk about Sam and Bayleigh stops her w/I LOVE Sam! You can see the shock on Haleigh’s face. Haleigh shares her surprise after what Sam did to her. Then Bay very directly say, Well she wasn’t wrong...from here Bay feels emboldened to ‘school’ Haleigh why Sam said what she said. Bayleigh roasts Haleigh here with some not so subtle shade. Bayleigh does say it slightly more politely although very directly. She conveysn that what Sam meant wasn’t wrong. Hmm! I didn’t see that coming. From Haleigh’s reaction neither did she! Haleigh although shocked asks why Bayleigh thinks that? Bayleigh explains how Sam said it, no that wasn’t right. But...you are a flirty girl. All the guys are in love with you. I mean Sam wasn’t wrong. This sets up her approach to most of the 1-1’s that follow and I’m growing more and more concerned as the time passes. Bayleigh lays out week 1 Tyler liked you until Kaitlin got her claws into him. Faysal is clearly in love with you. Brett has a thing for you. Scottie low key likes you. Sam’s not wrong in her perception that you being 21, beautiful, flirty is an unfair advantage to her because she can’t play that way. Haleigh is clearly panicking at Bayleigh’s assessments. She start questioning if she should just not look at any of the guys? Should she distance herself? She points out she doesn’t want her and Faysal being perceived as a pair and even though she’s refusing his desire to be in a showmance people are still unfairly lumping them together. Haleigh is talking very strategically before Bay says this. Bayleigh is talking just as much! Bayleigh essentially tells her no you’re 21, pretty, and single unlike Kaitlin! In the end Bayleigh tells her “You keep using that girl. I’m just saying Sam’s old fashioned I get why she sees it that way.” So now Haleigh has her marching orders from the new HOH. This conversation becomes even more relevant Friday night. While Bayleigh and Haleigh chat, Bay also tells us that she’s very suspicious of Scottie. I was a bit taken aback by this. She tells Haleigh she’s thinking Brett/JC as nominees with Scottie as a BD if Veto comes into play. Last week we watched Bayleigh buddy up with Scottie. They had legitimate strategy talks. It appeared she was positioning herself to pair up with him. Clearly Bayleigh was imitating some of Tyler’s acting skills. Bayleigh says Scottie isn’t trustworthy. He threw that vote savagely while wearing Chris’ T-shirt. Someone who throws rogue votes independently is dangerous. Scottie’s not someone she can work with long term. I think this shocks Haleigh again. Bay affirms he’s evil but for now she can use him as a pawn (not target him) because in this moment he’s using his evil for our benefit. Later when she and Scottie have their 1-1 Bayleigh grills Scottie. Everything she says with Scottie solidified what she told Haleigh. Bayleigh suspects he has a power. She even makes his swear on the Bible. If I’m Scottie it’s now clear to me that Bay is NOT in my corner. Bayleigh talking SO MUCH in 1-1 with Haleigh is an omen for how her HOH will play out. I laughed hysterically when Bayleigh talks about Tyler being passive. She tells Haleigh Kaitlin was the dominant one and running him! Bay keeps telling Haleigh that Tyler deserves a reset week. I got one when Soggy went out. He deserves that. He was crying to me already this is tough for him and I don’t want to kick him when he’s down. No one should. Oh Bayleigh you’re so pretty...that’s what I tell my daughter when she says something overtly absurd. Thank you though. I’m thrilled she’s made up her mind to leave Tyler alone. She’s read him completely wrong for the most part. We have to give Tyler all the credit for that! Later Bayleigh actually gets to a place of comfort where she says she may just choose him to play in Veto? Yeah, so that happens. The week Kaitlin was HOH Tyler was the wizard behind the curtain. He with JC’s leg work that week made everyone believe it was all Kaitlin’s mastermind idea. Don't forget that. Don’t forget JC told everyone that week that Kaitlin was using Tyler and manipulating him. In fact JC has said it so often last week he believes his own lies. Now it’s week 5 and this narrative continues to be the belief. This week of safety will really let him pivot this week! I don’t want to hear anyone say Tyler doesn’t have a role in Bayleigh and other’s perceptions of his relationship with Kaitlin. That is entirely because he and JC have worked hard since week 2 to create this narrative. I know many of you are wondering what is Bayleigh thinking?! Why isn’t she planning to at least BD him? Why is Bayleigh not pouncing on Tyler? I was seriously wondering if she was trying to make him comfortable so he wouldn’t want to play or win Veto. Is she really planning to BD him? I mean disarming him so she can then BD him would be a great move! Then I remember this is a Foute HOH! LOL! Only Tyler could actually come up with and execute a plan this diabolical. Eventually by Friday Bayleigh gets to a place where she’s actually considering picking Tyler for HG choice. I see two reasons why Bayleigh has suddenly been yet another HG miraculously misted by Tyler based on last night’s 1-1’s so let’s just address the elephant in the room. Thankfully Kaitlin helped Tyler’s game with her inability to see the forest through the trees! Kaitlin did nothing but the exact opposite of what she should do this last week. That included going directly to the people he said don’t say anything to. Kaitlin’s inabilities to just sit down and shut up the last few days may be what saves him this week. Kaitlin was running around confronting people. This played a huge role in solidifying L6 flipping their votes against her. Kaitlin and Tyler had a conversation where Tyler told her that she shouldn’t trust Haleigh and Faysal. He pleas with her to see that they’re against her. He also tells her that Bayleigh was the only one on her side she can trust! Kaitlin can trust Bayleigh because she wants to vote to keep her. As per usual Kaitlin ran this right back to Bayleigh trying to throw Tyler UTB. In RealiTea this ends up in fact doing him a HUGE favor. She essentially is telling Bayleigh that Tyler says to trust Bayleigh. This didn’t seem like anything to me when it happens. For weeks he’s told Kaitlin things and said don’t say anything. To which she runs right back and spills all the tea. That and the fact the vote has already flipped and Bayleigh was now voting to evict her. In the current situation, Kaitlin is now gone. Tyler is seen as vulnerable now, and Bayleigh BELIEVES she can trust Tyler because he told Kaitlin she can trust Bayleigh! Everything happens for the higher good in this situation that’s for sure! Sorry I can’t resist! The second reason Bayleigh is not focusing on Tyler we hear her explain later to Angie. Remember Bayleigh’s app is VERY powerful. She suspects Tyler has the 2nd power app. She says that vote happened coming off his HOH it’s most likely he was the most trending that week coming off his HOH. This is great that she’s thinking logically. Of course as is everyone else assuming Bay got the 3rd app because Chris went home. What’s bad for Bayleigh is there seems to be a part of her afraid that his is just as powerful as hers because HER’S is SO POWERFUL. This is a huge advantage for Tyler. She will be afraid his power will tank her HOH. The other advantage is Tyler is the only app winner that hasn’t told one person he has a power. Remember Bayleigh told Faysal and as her arrogance grows over the next 18 hours she makes a tactical error that is an undeniable horrible game play. I am conflicted with Haleigh in her 1-1. The fan in me is LOVING hearing the accurate reads Haleigh has. She’s sharing her mindset moving forward telling Bayleigh they need to think about who THEY want to sit next to final 3, by considering the same for F4, F5, F6 and make moves to set those positions up. This is wonderful to see from her. It’s also good Bayleigh initially assert things that lets us know Bayleigh is looking out for Bayleigh. As she analyzes who to put up this week she reveals more and more how she see’s everyone relative to her own game. More importantly the people Bayleigh won’t touch helps get a clear view of her game. She wont put certain people OTB because doesn’t think they will come for her. Bayleigh lays out these are people that wouldn’t vote against her moving forward. She misses the mark on Tyler more often than not but the rest of the players she’s actually pretty spot on. It’s now close to 1:30 a.m. and Angela is up next! We quickly learn from general chit chat that this HOH came down to Bay/Rachel. Bayleigh is the HOH and she’s having these 1-1’s but she’s doing to majority of the talking. OMG! Bay needs to reel in her excitement and her sushi/wine high. Come on! The advantage of being HOH you gain intel, make some deals, position yourself for the next week! It is not to throw up everything you haven’t been able to say for 4 weeks. Angela and Bay (like others throughout the house tonight) discuss how everyone breathing finally with Kaitlin gone. They point out they don’t have to stay so divided socially or be afraid of Kaitlin interrupting convos or being fearful of how she’s twisting things or targeting people when they talk to Tyler. Angela and Bayleigh reaffirm their day one bonds. She’s geeking out over being able to be BFF’s with her again. They agree they need to target the guys which means a guy HAS to go this week. They want to get to the end with all women. Which is exactly what Haleigh said as well. Bayleigh told Angela, ‘I just want to keep my mouth shut’ and let others come and do all the talking tonight. The RealiTea she’s doing exactly the opposite of that. It’s not just because it’s Angela and they had to be opposed to the other’s sides because of the situation. Bayleigh says to Angela “can you imagine if we came in here and acted like these other girls in the house?” I don’t think Haleigh cared for her perspective on that but Angela certainly does. The majority of this convo they are bonding over similar experience. Both having been through dealing with other women in competitive environments (pageants/modeling). Some more Kaitlin bashing. Angela doesn’t stay more than 15-20 min and Bayleigh says she can send up whoever she wants next. Faysal enters. She immediately jumps around and says I won HOH before you! Hahahaha! I LOVE this moment because Faysal came in assuming he was going to be Victor and beast his way through the game. He comments that it was again a chance comp and he will win when it’s a physical one. The strike to his ego is enjoyable to watch. Especially when you consider that 3/5 HOH’s have been won by women! LOL! Bayleigh tries to ask Faysal what he thinks? What does he want to say? Yet again she talks 95% of the time. Scottie is finally trending in the game. Unfortunately, it is because of that savage vote against Chris that he tried for a power app but not the way he’d hoped for. Faysal asks who she’s thinking? She says Brett/JC with Scottie as a replacement nominee. Faysal says, not Tyler? She says no, maybe if replacement nom happens. Tyler needs the week off and he’s a free agent now. This is one of the moments that aligns with my initial suspicions she may try to BD Tyler. Faysal tries to deflect from JC saying he and JC are really close. Bayleigh says she doesn’t trust him. She says JC has never said Bayleigh ‘I’m good with you’ or ‘I wouldn’t put you up’. In this moment she says it’s not because of the fight we had. Its just he has never once come to me like we’re good. Bayleigh says this time the only people she has in mind is Brett/JC/Rachel. Bayleigh makes a very strong argument re: JC. She says JC would pick you over me. JC would pick Tyler over me, Sam over me, but Rachel would pick me! Faysal warns her to be prepared for JC to be a maniac. Bayleigh makes it clear she does not like JC! Her comments are accurate about his behaviors but she also comments about him ‘saying things he shouldn’t’ so she is still harboring some feelings about what he said. This claim that it’s not about that is foreshadowing the rest of Thursday and Friday’s series of events. Faysal continues to ride hard for JC in this convo. Bayleigh is being direct and honest but still talking way too much! Note to all future HG’s if you win HOH don’t drink almost an entire bottle of wine in 90 min and hold your 1-1’s. By the end Faysal seems to make a little headway with Bay here. Eventually she says maybe it’s better to do Brett/Rachel. JC is in some danger here. She doesn’t trust him at all but like Scottie she sees where his sneaky ways can be a short term benefit. When JC talks to her later he is a bit too extra for her but he also assured her he wants his F5 to be Bay, Haleigh, Faysal, Tyler, and himself. He manages to affirm Faysal’s talking points. I know it’s A LOT! This is still only Thursday night! Let’s lighten the mood for a moment while you digest all of that. Bay was holding court in the HOH with Haleigh we have a group in the BA talking about how nice it is with Kaitlin gone. They are all discussing her antics with the men. Eventually this moves to the geo room when Suddenly Brett reveals in BA that Kaitlin also took her mic off hid behind the pillow with him. He explains day 2 and she told him if she didn’t have a BF she would totally ‘F’ him! The theme of the night is a weight as been lifted with Kaitlin gone and let’s all put out Kaitlin cards out for all to see. The crowd (Rachel/Angela/JC/Faysal erupt in shock! NO WAY! Faysal asks if she actually tried something with him too? Brett says she didn’t touch him (not what we saw) but she kept trying to back up into him to the point he had to keep backing away. Faysal shares during her HOH she wanted to ‘lock the door’ and he wouldn’t. The whole house finally united on something (evicting Kaitlin) and this also leads to everyone bashing Kaitlin openly to each other and unanimously celebrating the clean energy in the house upon her exit. That energy doesn’t last long though. After these new revelations they are all commenting how there is no Joe. Where’s Joe in all this femme fatale behavior she used? Eventually the camera breaks away when it’s clear they are going to chew on that bone for a while. Ok, back to the Thursday night 1-1’s. Angie has a quick and dirty chat for her 1-1. Bayleigh tells her she has no intention to put Tyler OTB. Angie says she’s glad to hear that. She doesn’t think he should go up. Bayleigh also shares her plans to target Brett and you know that’s music to Angie’s ears! That’s about the gist of their entire 1-1. JC’s 1-1 is a train wreck. JC’s bull in a china shop doesn’t work with Bayleigh. This exchange and some conversations that happen Friday really leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. It’s obvious to me that Bayleigh is still harboring some serious anger towards JC re: the controversial conversation that happened between the two. I hadn’t seen any signs this level of animosity was brewing until she gets a little power. I knew she didn’t care for him but her HOH is revealing more about her game in her 1-1’s than anyone else’s. As HOH, or anyone with a power over the game, you use your position to gain intel and make deals. I won’t put you up if you promise me safety next week. I will not put you up if you promise when you win HOH I won’t hit the block. If I use this veto to save you then you have to vote this way. Forget the basket of goodies! Forget the room to sleep alone! An HOH is always your best opportunity to propel yourself. Sadly as the night transitions into Friday Bayleigh’s reign only worsens. There are a million reasons for Bayleigh not to like or trust JC. We’ve heard some throughout these 1-1’s with people like Faysal, Haleigh, even Scottie. He’s loud. His personality is over bearing. She sees that he’s everywhere all the time. He’s in everyone’s ears constantly. Bayleigh recognizes JC is good with basically everyone. Plenty of people if they had to pick between Bayleigh or JC down the road in this game would pick JC over her because they have relationships with him. JC is a bull in a china shop 85% of his time in the house. Those listed above are all valid, clear, genuine reasons to fear his placement in the game. This is true from both a personal and a game perspective. So I’m really disappointed with her as she continues to harp on the argument they had. She mentions it numerous times. She’s holding onto to that as if drinking poison means her enemy will die! When the show aired the convo I knew she wasn’t satisfied with her 1-1 they had to resolve the issue when it happened. I think regardless of your stance on who was right and who was wrong when that happened we all saw that Bayleigh talked way more than she listened. As an outside observer that’s what I saw. That’s true now as HOH as well. I’m as shocked as anyone by this unexpected development. This is why it leaves me at a loss for any justification for what happens Friday morning. Bayleigh is having her 1-1 with Sam finally. Bay made it clear to Sam she wants to put JC OTB. She tells Sam that she’s probably going to put up Brett but she’s unsure who exactly to put OTB next to him. As far as nominating JC is concerned her only hesitation, “I don’t want that little munchkin running around the house with my name in his mouth!” Whoa! Wow! Did she really just say that? Well thanks for showing us how you really feel! JC has never talked about getting Bayleigh out! JC wants Bayleigh at the end with him!!! That’s been the case for a while. His plan was always to stoke the fires between the two sides so they take each other out leaving him in the middle waiting to go to the end with Tyler, Faysal, Haleigh, and Bayleigh. Bayleigh makes numerous controversial comments throughout Friday. We will get to in the next blog as Bayleigh’s standings in the game spiral. I will say that Bayleigh’s alter ego’s emergence from HOH-itis has fans dumping Bayleigh stock. I want to be VERY clear. If Bayleigh was targeting JC purely for the myriad of personality traits or shady game play I’d be 100% supportive of her choice. She has plenty of ammo. He is brash. He is over bearing. He is aggressive and people do let him get away with way too much. Now it’s crystal clear that annoys her! I said this with Sam’s decision making, how people perceive you in the game matters! Before Bay’s HOH I didn’t think she was holding on to her anger about the incident between herself and JC. Now I realize that’s not the only reason she loathes him. I think the fact he gets away with all he does infuriates her because she feels she can’t behave the way she normally would. She says ALL THE TIME she’s not allowed to react to things because she doesn’t want to be portrayed as the ‘angry black woman.’ Is it possible she’s secretly mad because she feels he’s able to play aggressively and she can’t? In other circumstances with people like Rachel I’ve seen this as an irrational fear. At times she perceives Rachel as reacting in a way that makes Bayleigh feel like Rachel is waiting for her to explode. We saw Bay’s meltdown in the HOH last week with Tyler and Sam. I’ve skipped over it because it wasn’t effecting her actual game moves. Now Bayleigh’s internal dialogue is actually sabotaging her own game. I’ve always understood that’s Bay’s perception. We can all experience the exact same moment in time and have completely different views on what happened. Our experiences shape what it’s important and not important. What each individual remembers is influenced by internal points of view. In this game how people perceive things is everything. Bayleigh’s language and actions throughout the night reveals her sudden power has made her drop all common sense. As you will soon learn Friday she goes on to refer to Scottie as an albino. She tells Faysal, if I don’t nominate JC “that little thing better be loyal to me.” WHAT?! If all of these highly inappropriate comments weren’t bad enough what she tells Haleigh late Friday makes Bayleigh’s stock crash in the eyes of many fans. Bayleigh talks more than anyone during the 1-1’s she has with people and nothing she’s saying is helping her game. Quite the contrary in fact. Sadly sleeping in a room alone overnight doesn’t hit Bay’s reset button. This unraveling continues to be the case on Friday. I said it before and I will say it again she was in a great spot. She shouldn’t have won this HOH. However, I don’t think any of us could have speculated just how bad this becomes. Come back later to sip the RealiTea of how Friday escalates. You won’t want to miss this!

Last night’s live show absolutely shook everyone! From the HG’s to the fandom and even production we were all shocked at the turn of events! This had to be one of the most epic live shows in BB history! It was sensational! I am not exaggerating when I say that every week we think this season can’t get any better and BAM! It does! When the episode begins I’m confident Kaitlin must know she’s about to be evicted which is the first surprise for me. Angie isn’t dressed for an exit interview but Kaitlin is. Angie is wearing athletic gear like everyone else ready for week 5’s HOH comp. When feeds went down she did not have confirmation she was about to be voted out. I am skipping everything else aired prior to voting because it’s irrelevant to the marvelous real time story line that’s unfolding right before our eyes! The first voter is JC. You know the Napoleon Dynamite that spend all week feverishly conspiring to get Kaitlin out. This should be a no brainer no one loathes Kaitlin more than JC. So imagine my reaction when JC votes to evict Angie! WHAT!?! What just happened? OMG! Wait did the vote flip while feeds are down? Why would JC vote out Angie?! JC’s vote is only the 2nd surprise of the night. One by one everyone else enters the DR casts their vote to evict Kaitlin! Julie announces by a vote of 9-1 KAITLIN you are evicted from the BB house. Kaitlin is seriously stunned. Even if she suspected she was going to be voted out she clearly didn’t anticipate a 9-1 vote. BB fans everywhere should really appreciate thy week after week the vote has been a question mark to some degree right up until votes are cast on eviction night. This is the first vote all season where the house votes together. I’m possibly too thrilled about this outcome but the ego shattering near unanimous vote stuns Kaitlin. As people are hugging her the monitor in the LR sounds off and as Julie reveals Kaitlin has a chance to solve a puzzle and prevent herself from leaving the house tonight. Everyone else is standing around eagerly listening to Julie as she explains the power app. Kaitlin however is huddled in a ball at the center of everyone sobbing. She’s literally not listening to Julie. Kaitlin is sent upstairs to the App Store room where she will be given the chance to remain in the game. The other HG’s are able to watch her on the monitors in the LR so We are ALL glued to the screens. She enters to find a 6 piece puzzle (emoji version of Kaitlin). She’s told she has 2 1/2 minutes to take the pieces apart, move them less than 5 feet and reattach it then hit the button and she can stay in the game. If she fails she will have to say goodbye to the HG and exit the house immediately. Now listen, we’ve speculated all week that the odds of someone NOT completely whatever task is given is less than .00001%. The HG debated among themselves whether sending Kaitlin out with a chance to win her way back was the right move. They all agreed Kaitlin is a much bigger comp threat than Angie. I agreed that if they wanted the best odds of someone not being able to complete the task Angie was a sure bet! One, because she’s performed horribly in every comp so far. Two, one compounded by the stress and pressure of having to perform on live TV after just being evicted would likely make her crumble. So now. Kaitlin’s literally facing herself (puzzle) with 2.5 minutes on the clock and she begins! Kaitlin takes each piece and moves it through a piece of plexiglass in seconds with ease. I thought to myself she didn’t really study how they were assembled she just grabbed and slid them to the other side. But hey it’s 6 pieces so...how hard can it be. We get down to 90 sec she’s been trying to assemble this mannican of sorts standing up right. The legs keeps falling she’s getting frustrated but keeps working. She gets down to 60 sec before she lays the pieces out on the ground in order and then returns to assembling it but this is where she’s cracking. She sits down and CRIES!!! She wastes a good 20 sec crying before she jumps back into action. I myself and perched up watching now thinking OMG, is she going to tank this? Is she seriously so panicked that she won’t be able to stack these SIX 3-D puzzle pieces on top of each other?! No way! There’s NO way she fails this! I am not exaggerating when I say BB NATION is flipping out! Twitter is afire with exclamations about what we’re witnessing here. There’s no way she can fail this! She gets her 30 sec warning and is feverishly struggling with this one smaller middle piece that she cannot figure out what she’s doing wrong! All while fumbling with the two legs she needs to attach it to and EVERYONE watching realizes SHE’S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT! OMG! Kaitlin is going to and actually GO HOME! What did we do to be so lucky that this chick is going to blow the easiest task ever given to a player in the history of BB! 10, 9, 8....she’s almost figure it out put can’t get the pieces to lock! 7, 6, she’s holding them all up in the right order but they aren’t fully attached! 5, 4, IM SCREAMING, LAUGHING, and CLAPPING all saying KAITLIN IS OUT! She’s gone! OMG! I never have to listen to her on the feeds again! They almost saved her she screwed up her own votes with her big a$& mouth and NOW she’s failing a GIMME puzzle! This is unbelievable. Times up! Kaitlin is out of the game!!! Watch Kaitlin’s ‘chance’ slip through her fingers here: https://twitter.com/tooms_bb/status/1022663799097061376?ref_src=twcamp^share|twsrc^ios|twgr^other|twcon^7100|twterm^3 Julie is heard telling her she failed. She’s evicted head downstairs say goodbye and exit! She walks over to a corner sits down and proceeds to sob uncontrollably again! All the while all Of the HG are downstairs clapping for her (or maybe for themselves because she’s out). Kaitlin practically sprinting out of the house. No hugs, no goodbyes she bolts! Word on the street is that CBS production informed the live studio audience before the live show began that NO one will be exiting the house tonight. There won’t be any interviews with Julie, that the evicted HG tonight will simply go do a quick puzzle and head right back downstairs staying in the game! THEY NEVER anticipated someone wouldn’t complete the puzzle. Alison Grodner (Executive Producer) is seen backstage shaking her head in disbelief. Julie gives a brief goodbye announcing we can view her complete exit interview on CBS.com later tonight. This is because they NEVER planned for a live exit interview. There was zero chance anyone would actually leave the game! The irony here is that BB producers failed to #expecttheunexpected!!! Shock waves were felt across America with one of the MOST shocking eviction episode Big Brother has ever had! The HG’s are in shock! Julie is floored! Production is scrambling! While I am throwing a solo dance party because I never have to listen to her on the live feeds again this season! We are ALL WINNERS this week! Check out the exit interview posted later last night: That’s it! It’s a wrap! Kaitlin was evicted and no one was prepared for this except Foute because they absurdly speculated this ‘chance’ would be a battle back and Soggy was more likely to be the HG returning! Wow! This season exceeds the last 5 seasons combined! Week 4 ends with as big of a bang (pots and pans) as it began and all the week after Angie’s DAUGHTER’S BIRTHDAY!!!! Lol That’s the RealiTea of this wild and crazy game we all love! Anything can happen. You never know what will be your demise and you can rise and fall all in the same week! Whew! I hope my recount at least gives you some small measure of the same exhilaration that watching it unfolding delivered. Come back later to get the full scoop on how the house reacted to that climax and where week 5 is headed with the new HOH that’s finally reveal when feeds return HOURS later just after 9:30 pm.. Yet again we have an HOH winner. who was in one of the best positions in the game at the end of the week, wins when they had no businesss doing so! This is the 3rd week in a row where someone sitting pretty with ZERO reason to win takes the key to the HOH room when they didn’t need to! Bayleigh is the new HOH after winning a chance comp! No need to put the popcorn away this week will bring plenty of good feeds I’m sure.

It’s week 4 eviction day which means that someone will be evicted. Tonight’s eviction almost means Sam power app will finally be put out of its misery. As we head into week 5 tonight (most likely with the same number of players in the game that we started week 4 for with it’s a great time to breakdown which players benefited the most and which the least in a week that basically has zero value with regards to getting anyone one HG closer to making it to jury. What’s most absurd to me is Foute doesn’t grasp the fact that Kaitlin will come right back into the game. They heard ‘chance’ to return from Sam and that’s code for there will be a battle back and Soggy can beat Kaitlin. They joke what if Steve comes back? WHAT!? So they do understand someone will be coming back in but absolutely dismissive of any possibility it’s going to be Kaitlin! I could overlook to deep ignorance if they weren’t stacked with fans of the game! Bayleigh, Haleigh, Angie, Scottie all know this game! It should make sense that this app replaces the usual pre jury battle back comp. It doesn’t and that’s the greatest deficit for them in all of this. Haleigh actually played some game beyond Faysal be more loyal to me than Kaitlin. Well not really because ultimately she’s lying to get Kaitlin out so Faysal can be most loyal to her but this was a little more self preservation at least. Remember when I explained that Tyler told Kaitlin that Faysal and Haleigh were planning to vote her out? I also shared that Tyler told her not to say anything to Haleigh. After the incident Tuesday when Kaitlin brow beats Tyler about campaigning for her to stay and he told her not to talk to people about their votes, because it’s counterproductive. Well of course Kaitlin doesn’t listen. Kaitlin does go to Haleigh and Haleigh feeds her ginormous ego by saying she thinks people are trying to fool her and working to get her out? Well technically Haleigh is telling the truth, she and Faysal are trying to get her out but Kaitlin runs with the idea it’s L6 side working against her (they weren’t). Kaitlin gets confrontational with Angela about trying to flip the vote against her which doesn’t go over well with Angela and Angela goes to work now saying Kaitlin needs to go. Haleigh and Faysal are the blind spots in her game at the same level that Haleigh is Faysal’s blind spot. I seriously cannot convey the level of stupidity that both nominees have demonstrated. Each of them literally manages to talk people out of voting for the to stay every time they open their mouths which is how Wednesday plays out all day. L6 had been unified in their desire to send Angie out and keep Kaitlin this week thanks in most to Tyler’s leg work but Kaitlin manages to annoy people enough to unravel her own chances of not being evicted. I have whiplash from how much back and forth L6 were with send Kaitlin out wait no we need to keep Kaitlin we don’t want a unanimous vote because we want it to be clear that Haleigh and Faysal CHOSE to vote her out. This all happens of course after Haleigh has done some work on Brett the day before which compounded JC’s arguments all day and has Brett Tuesday wavering on who to evict. Haleigh played some great game here. Listen when you remember that L6 agrees to tell everyone that they are evicting Kaitlin so Foute doesn’t sniff out their real game plan which they predicted would prevent Foute from campaigning. Haleigh shows us that she’s a player we’ve all thought she would be. When she has a clearly defined goal in her mind she has the ability to manipulate people to achieve her goal. Haleigh does understand that she needs Kaitlin to believe she’s still riding for her in the event she does go out and come right back in the game. For me Haleigh’s position at the end of this week solely lies on whether Kaitlin does go out regardless of whether she returns or not. I’m happy to see her follow her instincts and have a smart enough read on the temperature of the game to not sit back and let the runaway train come to a stop on its own. Haleigh is over Kaitlin. That’s certain this week. If Kaitlin goes out and doesn’t return Haleigh’s standing rises significantly. If Angie goes then there’s really no gain for Haleigh this week there’s actually a loss because Angie will remain loyal to the ladies in the house. If Kaitlin goes out and doesn’t realize Haleigh and Faysal we’re voting against her and continues her irrational loyalty to F/H then again I think Haleigh rises slightly but not of any real significance because she ends the week where she began. However, if Kaitlin uses the revolving door this week and finally realizes Haleigh was playing her I think Haleigh’s position makes some significant drops on the ladder in the game. Once Kaitlin is confrontational with Angela accusing her of trying to flip the vote to evict her, Angela then goes to Kaycee and says she has to go. The most surprising part of the day is we find out Angela actually has a voice! Kaycee who has been steadfast in her loyalty to Tyler over anyone else and Angela manages to eventually flip Kaycee! It’s the worst possible game move for Angela but the furniture comes to life like Belle has entered the BB house. For this reason regardless of the outcome I think Angela lost any commodity she did have going into week 4 by infuriating Rachel. Also if Kaitlin stays and still holds onto this belief that Angela was campaigning against her she’s as much of a target for Kaitlin as Sam is next week. Angela and Kaycee then talk to Rachel who is not falling for any of these shenanigans and firmly plants her flag on sending Angie out this week! Rachel is adamant that Angie needs to go, Kaitlin needs to stay she’s a shield and rightfully so. So of course Kaitlin walks in to the middle of this convo and again behaves counterproductively! What’s most ironic is Kaitlin started the morning saying she’s not talking game today. She wants to have a fun day and just kick back. Which is exactly the opposite of what she ends up doing! Kaitlin is EVERYWHERE all day like a gnat vigorously buzzing around you at sunset. You swat her away only for her to be right back in your face again. This only reaffirmed Angela and Kaycee’s latest position that Angie needs to stay. The one point of argument I will give Angela in her justification is that Angie will stay loyal to the idea of an all girls alliance . Angie will target guys before them. The biggest blind spot for Kaitlin is despite the fact Faysal swore he would save Kaitlin and then he used the veto on Haleigh Kaitlin still wants to believe that Faysal and Haleigh would never go against her. This makes zero sense! Faysal basically peed all over Kaitlin and told her it’s raining and Kaitlin believes him! What’s not so surprising is this entire game Foute has been slapped in the face with truths and every time they manage to twist the truth into a fantasy and does exactly the opposite of what they should. Kaitlin is no exception to this counterintuitive game play. Faysal’s position at the end of week 4 despite being the main character this week has slipped down in my rankings even lower than he was for his insanely terrible game play surrounding his handling of the veto. Faysal saving Haleigh didn’t deliver any gains where Haleigh is concerned. In her mind even if she had stayed OTB Kaitlin would have left over her. Faysal may appear to be ok with Kaitlin despite flagrantly planting his flag on Haleigh’s pillow. I’m confident he’s not. If Kaitlin stays she’s a spiteful little nugget of craziness and the mood will strike her to teach him a lesson. Let us not forget Tyler did manage to convince Kaitlin to evict Soggy week 2 and what happened that week isn’t any were near the betrayal Faysal has delivered to her. Of all of the flip flopping I was most surprised by Kaycee. Once this all happens she goes to Bayleigh (who has actually been on board with voting to keep Kaitlin with L6) and tells her that they are now considering voting Kaitlin out. Kaycee is the most disappointing to me in all of this nonsense. This is the first time I’ve seen her counteract a plan she and Tyler have agreed on and while you have to play in your own best interest at a certain point in BB this is not one of those moments. BB is an individual game in the long run. If Kaycee had broken from the alliance to make a move in her own best interest I would co-sign her initiative. Kaycee not only has nothing to benefit from flipping on the original plan she actually has a lot to lose. It wasn’t a well planned conscious move to propel her game. Kaycee goes to Bayleigh who was in fact on board with voting against Foute this week until Kaycee prematurely tells her hey I think we are going to go ahead and vote Kaitlin out. This was a premature move on Kaycee’s behalf and ultimately has Bayleigh coming out better. Bayleigh now doesn’t have to draw a line in the sand with Foute by voting with L6. She’s managing to infiltrate L6 in the process. Bayleigh is now freely invited to participate in L6 strategizing even after the decision to flip happens. At one point Wednesday Bay’s lounging in the HN while Kaycee, Angela, Rachel, and Brett debate the vote. You can see on Brett’s face he’s uncomfortable with how freely the ladies are talking about it in front of Bayleigh but does nothing to stop it. Bayleigh is by far the winner this week overall and her standing in the hierarchy of the house rocketed up the ladder. Bayleigh has successfully layered herself into the L6 social dynamic. She also has nurtured her game relationship with Scottie and made herself a path defecting from Foute without them suspecting anything. Bayleigh has spent a lot of time casually bonding with Sam. She’s done an excellent job this week! After L6 gifts her the ability to stay good with both sides she slyly returns to Faysal to address her annoyance with him yelling at her. Faysal is so dumb that he was oblivious to the fact he’d even angered her. The only potential deficit I see for Bayleigh now that everyone is voting out Kaitlin is her consideration of using her power app next week. This is insane! Bayleigh is in a great position. She says of one of L6 wins next week, like Brett she’s thinking about using her incredibly valuable powerful app to nominate Angela and Rachel!? REALLY?! Ok, listen girl you have been standing too close to Kaitlin this week because you’ve lost your damn mind! Save that for jury! Save that for when you NEED a power move to shift the house in your favor. This benefits everyone else on Foute but not yourself. No one is coming for you! Let them continue to take out each other on the sides sit on the fence between to the sides with your edamame and jug of Gatorade and chill! This is where we see a tiny little glimpse of possible power separate the minor league players from the all stars. With all the chaos of the vote ping ponging back and forth all day Tyler has made the best move he could in this position. From my point of view Tyler has not moved in the position he has in the game. The dissension he and JC have had is a wash in the loss column because both he and JC have equal losses here. I will say there’s great irony this week in Kaitlin likely being saved by the bonus life tonight is mind blowing! Tyler created this paradox by his own hands! LMAO! Remember week 1 Tyler flipped Kaitlin to vote Steve out. That flip saved Sam. Saving Sam meant Tyler could preserve the availability of her bonus life app. So now it’s Sam’s HOH and Sam desperately wants Kaitlin out! As does Tyler. So how crazy is it that Sam’s app will be what prevents Kaitlin from actually being evicted and sent home? I mean if that’s not karma I don’t know what is. Tyler was more likely to vote to keep Kaitlin regardless and that will keep him in her good graces. His eventual waving of the white flag within L6 prevents him from pushing too hard and leaving a bad taste in their mouths. If by some miracle Angie goes out and doesn’t return he could make some gain because she’s gunning for him and Brett. That’s a long shot at best. If Kaitlin goes that appeases Sam. All the way around Tyler has exhausted his tolerance of Kaitlin and will work to get her out before Jury. This morning Faysal pulled Tyler aside to presumably leak the facts that Kaitlin told him the same things she told Tyler. This is terrible timing by Faysal at Haleigh’s urging. This would actually give Tyler a viable scenario to confront Kaitlin and justify voting her out with the rest of the house if it’s actually unanimous. Kaitlin has plummeted in the game this week. You know it’s bad when the only real ally you have left is the one who has been using your for selfish purposes and has zero true allegiance to you. Kaitlin has eliminated any real motivation for L6 to continue pretending they want her on their side. Haleigh and Faysal want her out as much if not more than Tyler. Kaitlin campaigning for herself is riddled with quick blasts of people who are actually planning to keep her and she’s the greatest detriment to her own game this week. Kaitlin even manages to infuriate Tyler last night with her egregious claims that she’s getting hits and she’s hearing from Tyler’s deceased father again. I do not know how he manages to keep himself from unleashing the wrath of God on her when she does this. This is the most deplorable action I’ve seen to date in the BB house. Tyler mentioned Thursday is her father’s birthday and she pounces! She goes on to say his dad is talking to her and he’s telling HER that he wants KAITLIN to stay. You can watch the clip here. Listen we’ve all admired Tyler’s unwavering ability to tolerate her. It’s seriously been a miracle to watch because anyone else even Dan Gheesling would have thrown in the towel and just leveled her with his slithering tongue. Tyler demonstrates why he should be petitioned for Saint hood in this scene. I would have chewed her up spit her out and lit the remains on fire. By last night Faysal shares with Haleigh that Kaitlin told him she has feelings for him and she wants to be with him. Haleigh is dumbfounded. Faysal also shares that he learned Kaitlin has told Tyler the same things she’s told him. Now the majority of the house is aware that Kaitlin has been running the game emotionally manipulative game on the guys and this will not fare well for her a f she’s evicted and then returns. This is basically the locker room talk of the house at this point. Kaitlin isn’t the only one undermining her own game. Angie has also created the losses she experienced this week. Her reaction to Brett’s eviction speech definitely hurt her value in the game. While the women will see her as a short term asset because she wants to get guys out no one wants to play with her. Brett now has laser focus on Angie. Angela has laser focus on Angie and I would not be surprised at all if this HOH is the first one that Angela actively tries to win. Faysal, Haleigh, Bayleigh, Scottie are not enough numbers to help keep her safe if anyone on L6 wins week 5 HOH, especially if she’s sitting next to another Foute member. Rachel lost some standing with me. Under pressure she just threw up her hands and surrendered for the most part when L6 shifts their target. While she has a strategic mindset this shows me she can’t go into action on the fly when her feet are over the fire like Haleigh did. Kaitlin going out and returning is horrible for Rachel since Kaitlin perceives Angela as one of the people turning on her. Rachel will now be in the line of fire because of her association with Angela. This is the time she needs to stage a fight and visibly cut ties with Angela or Rachel could be an innocent bystander falling victim to Kaitlin’s fury. Once Haleigh gets her claws into Rachel last night I don’t see any scenario where Rachel wants to flip the vote back. She realizes that the entire motivation for voting opposite of Foute was so Kaitlin would flip on them and she knows with certainty now Kaitlin will NEVER see the votes as L6 saving her because she wants nothing more than to believe Haleigh and Faysal votes to keep her. JC’s overly dramatic behavior may result in some gains on the Foute side. I’m not absolute in my belief that will absolutely happen but it’s possible after his vigorous efforts to secure an outcome that Haleigh and Faysal want. Tyler does eventually go to JC and uses L6 stupidity to flip against Kaitlin to feed JC’s ego and concede that ok you’re right we need to vote Kaitlin out. I like that he takes lemons and makes lemonade with both JC and Sam after the others seems unmovable. The problem is JC’s plummeting in his value with Tyler. If JC doesn’t redeem himself quickly with Tyler week 5 I feel like he’s lost major power in the game. Tyler has to see the potential for JC to use his worthiness for evil and will more likely than not invest far less in him after this week perhaps even coordinating JC untimely exit as soon as we reach jury. Kaitlin will discover that JC was the one working the hardest against her when next week rolls around. This only lengthens Kaitlin’s list of people she must avenge herself against. Faysal suddenly had some cojones this week with JC and I think he also lost a lot of influence over him that he’d worked so hard to have. Scottie hasn’t hardly been visible this week. Bayleigh’s desire to join forces with him is a HUGE gain coming off his HOH last week. There are so many other targets exposed this week I think he’s dodged a bullet mostly thanks to Sam who managed to make her HOH even more explosive than his. Scottie is good with Sam. He has Bayleigh and moving into next week could be right back to landing in the middle depending on who wins the HOH and be the swing vote once again. Brett and Tyler are in the most vulnerable positions if a Foute member (other than Kaitlin) wins this next HOH. That means Brett is the most vulnerable because Tyler has the cloud power app. If Tyler suspects he will be BD’d he will be able to save himself and Brett could be the casualty. Tyler kept Brett for this exact reason. Just like Kaitlin, Brett is a shield for him and if all else fails Tyler can save himself by choosing to sit on his cloud of safety. I fully expect the vote to make a few more full revolutions before tonight’s live eviction. Best case scenario either one leaves and fails the task. #Teamgoodfeeds should be rallying for Kaitlin to be evicted and lose the challenge so we can all revel in some savage GB message from Tyler to Kaitlin. If he did in fact destroy her in his message to her I almost feel like even production would be ok with her failing just so they can air it! The RealiTea is if Kaitlin is evicted the best case scenario for L6 is its a unanimous vote so she returns without question that Haleigh and Faysal voted against her. I haven’t seen them discussing throwing any kind of sympathy votes by this time to cover themselves just in case. Again, I think that’s because they’ve subscribed to a ridiculous edition of the game where someone else battles their way back not Kaitlin. Regardless of what happens tonight we are all guaranteed an explosive eviction episode! #teamgoodfeeds for the win! The competition from from everyone except maybe Scottie and Kaycee to win this next HOH should be fierce. I will be back tomorrow with all of the escalating motivations to be the ones determining who the last two HG leaving before they make it to jury!

I am seriously overjoyed with all of the chaos this week! Sam winning HOH on Thursday was still a horrible game move but...she’s managed to make it one of the most enthralling week of feeds in years! Sunday was the only somewhat calm day and the rest of week 4 has been a G force roller coaster ride! Go ahead and get comfortable because there’s A LOT to cover! JC and Tyler went round and round Tuesday. I know JC has a meltdown Monday after fearing he was about to hit the block. He’s played a much better game than I think any of the fans could have ever expected. As I watch him get more and more aggravated and his aggression grow with each conversation it strikes me. JC has been so marvelous at manipulating people all over the house and lying without skipping a beat. He’s actually gotten so good at this point he’s believing his own lies! JC genuinely believes Tyler is being misted by Kaitlin! JC has spent weeks telling people this so they don’t suspect Tyler is manipulating her. Now not only does he legitimately believe Tyler is under Kaitlin’s spell but JC has also convinced himself that he himself in fact has been the one running the house not Tyler. Tuesday every two hours or so we see JC corner Tyler in a room and yell at him. Throughout the day the aggression grows to the point last night after 8 pm JC whisper screaming at Tyler that he’s so f’ing stupid, Kaitlin’s manipulating him. That Tyler’s thinking with the wrong head. Kaitlin needs to go! From a #teamgoodfeeds perspective these repetitive arguments between the two are so funny! Tyler grows increasingly frustrated with JC. At one point in the evening Tyler says with some frustration and annoyance that no she’s not! I’m controlling her! I can’t stand that f’ing girl! I can’t wait for her to leave but not this week! I don’t want anything to do with her. I’m the one manipulating her! She does WTF I tell her to do! I’m the one that got her to turn on Soggy! Listen Tyler may coddle Kaitlin but with JC he’s had enough of trying to patiently rationalize and defend his logic to JC and just loses it on him. They both say the other is being an idiot! JC says we need to vote the same way and initially Tyler agrees but says they need to keep Kaitlin just this week then he will kick her out! Eventually late in the evening 12:30 am he tells JC maybe they don’t need to vote the same. He tells JC it’s fine vote how you want. It may actually be better we don’t vote the same way. JC of course is not disarmed by this and while chomping on an apple the last 30 min continues to berate Tyler while he brushes his teeth and washes his face. Bayleigh and Faysal also tangle Tuesday afternoon. Faysal’s sudden new found confidence has quickly devolved into arrogance. At one point they are talking and he’s frustrated with people asking about his vote and tells Bayleigh she’s the only one he’s told he’s voting out Kaitlin and she better keep her f’ing mouth shut! Whoa. First Bayleigh hasn’t said anything to anyone and had made this clear. Second of all who the heck does Faysal think he is talking to Bay like this? She’s FUMING the rest of the day. Each hour that passes this week Bayleigh is less and less on board with keeping this F2 relationship with Faysal because of their ties to Chris. She’s over it. Over Foute. Over Faysal. Eventually around 4:30 pm Tuesday Bay talks to Faysal about yelling at her and his ‘sassy mood swings’ but I don’t see where this is anymore for her than keeping Faysal in her pocket the way Tyler does with Kaitlin. While we are on the subject...this was resonating with me yesterday. It’s looking more and more like Faysal is to Bayleigh what Kaitlin is to Tyler. When you look at it from this perspective you can see how similar Bayleigh and Tyler are. What’s even better to me is where each is weak the other has that strength and if they would stop targeting each other long enough to be REAL with each other they could easily dominant the entire rest of the game together. The only one I’ve seen her have any real legit strategy sessions with since Soggy left is Scottie. Let me say this right now. Scottie and Bay duo is a very lethal pairing! They both genuinely seem down for it. Bayleigh has done some marvelous work gaining social capital with Scottie and Sam while Tyler has been distracted by Kaitlin and JC. It’s impressive. Ironically I still can’t get behind Bayleigh. She was the first to walk into the house on premier night so there is virtually no chance she wins. I enjoy watching her now but I don’t see myself ever being team Bay. I’ve said it since the game began. That first one in the house never wins curse is very real! She’s not a Janelle or a Rachel Riley that would prompt me to speculate she could be the one that breaks the curse. What’s funny is Tuesday there’s a casual convo in the BY on the couches with Scottie, Kaycee, Rachel I think with Bay working out nearby. They are trying to figure out who was the first one in the door this season. Bay admits she was the first one and you can here Scottie audible response to that information, “oooooooaah...”. Scottie knows this random fact about the game and is now working towards a F2 type position with her only to realize she’s has zero chance of winning in his mind.’ Now if I’m Scottie I may be more likely to keep her to the end! I mean he’s pretty certain based on this curse he wouldn’t lose to her. Just sayin’. Kaitlin really got Tyler fired up. She comes out to the pool and demands to know why he isn’t out campaigning for her. She wants to know who he spoke to and why he isn’t working harder to help her stay by securing votes for him. Listen I’ve said numerous time he has the patience of a saint but between JC’s ‘in your face’ approach trying to strong arm Tyler to send Kaitlin home and her constant badgering about the votes he’s bound to snap! JC is still going on and on about how Kaitlin has to go. He wants her gone and Tyler is being stubborn. They go round and round and round. Tyler tells JC he can vote however he wants. They don’t have to vote the same way but regardless Kaitlin’s not going home this week. Point. Blank. To the period. JC leaves the BA when Bayleigh enters to use BA. Next we find him in the geo room with Brett. JC starts with I really want us all to vote the same way. JC says understand with Angie causing all the problems with him with the bullying and stuff. Brett says let me stop you right there, I want Kaitlin gone! JC squeels! OMG! Brett you are being so smart right now! Then JC starts with the whole Kaitlin has been lying to both of them. She’s telling Tyler and Faysal both that she has feelings for them. She’s a liar and I want her out. Now JC is on to Rachel. JC throws Tyler UTB. Rachel defends Tyler and points out Tyler is not mystified by her. She’s made it clear she’s voting Angie out. Rachel says over and over Kaitlin doesn’t have Tyler. Geo room 1:08 p Angela/Brett/Tyler Brett telling Tyler about convo with JC. We catch Brett later in the evening again back in the geo room with all the people above plus Kaycee suddenly seriously wavering on switching his vote and targeting Kaitlin over Angie. At one point Rachel comes in and Angela exits so it’s not all of them alone in the room together. Tyler, Kaycee, and Rachel are all still telling Brett that Angie needs to go first this week. She’s told Angela that she will target Brett/Tyler. Now when Brett agrees with JC earlier in the afternoon I thought he was just placating JC. Remember they’ve all agreed JC is a lost cause and they will be telling everyone they’re voting out Kaitlin but really going to vote for Angie. When this later convo in the evening happens it’s clear Brett really has flipped his thinking?! Now listen I had not planned to mention some under the sheets questionable movements between Brett and Kaitlin the night before. There’s clips of it flying around all over social media. While we all assume and have commented that if that is in fact what’s happening (happy ending for Brett at Kaitlin’s hand) the irony that last week when Brett was leaving she HATED him and now she needs votes and there’s some ‘more than cuddling’ happening she’s doing EVERYTHING she can to secure her votes. I didn’t really give it any thought beyond that until this sudden change of heart by Brett to send Kaitlin out. I don’t see any other rational reason based on the feeds why he would want her to go now? However it’s looking more and more to me that he did take advantage of her desire to be ‘friendly’ that night and he can’t have Tyler or Faysal targeting him if Kaitlin spills this. You can decide for yourselves but seems very suspect to me. Monday afternoon Tyler tells Kaitlin that Haleigh and Faysal aren’t voting for her to stay. Haleigh was in fact actively campaigning against Kaitlin (which is fact). Kaitlin has a difficult time believing it but seems Tyler does a good job of making it clear he’s heard it with his own ears, there’s no question. His biggest point is he has 5 votes to keep her but she needs to stop asking people how they’re voting because it’s pissing people off. He tells her not to talk to Haleigh or Faysal they are NOT on her side. Of course this is Kaitlin and she leaves this and basically goes straight to talk to Kaitlin. Haleigh and Kaitlin have a long talk and Haleigh is pretending to still be BFF with Kaitlin here. There’s some exchange about Angie v Kaitlin, but Haleigh knows Kaitlin well enough to know how to step around her psycho tendencies. Faysal has done the same with her today but not as effectively as Haleigh because he’s Faysal and just hmmm’s and hawww’s which should be enough to prove Tyler is right but I don’t think she wants to believe it. Rachel has been all over the house tallying votes since Monday afternoon. L6 agreed early on this week to just tell everyone they are voting for Kaitlin to leave. They don’t want the other side working against their attempts to secure the last vote they need. Rightfully they’ve focused on flipping Bayleigh (who keeps saying she will vote with them) and Scottie. JC is a lost cause. However Rachel constantly checking in with people is one that is irritating others like Sam and Bayleigh. By Tuesday afternoon Sam has told people that if it comes to a tie she’s putting two dots in a hat and picking one and that’s the person she will evict. Sam’s exasperated with people asking her. This really frustrates Rachel. She’s like this is a $500k game you cannot choose with dots in a cup! Sam tells Angie the same thing. Tyler is speaking to Sam in the HOH Wednesday 3:15 pm but Angie knocks. Sam tells him to hide/ Tyler hides behind the HOH bed so no one knows he’s in there. He stays there for the 7-10 min Angie talks to Sam. Sam is 100% ok with Tyler listening. In the convo Angie tries to convey she’s done all she can do. She’s talk to everyone. More than anything here the moment Tyler arises from behind the bed when Angie leaves is Fabulous! So comedic! Definitely FB 3:20 Ish and watch! Back to Angie/Sam convo where Tyler is present but unseen. Sam tells Angie she’s been telling people flat out if it comes to a tie she’s putting two dots in a hat and that’s the one she will evict. Angie is obviously not happy to hear this. What’s key is Sam’s motivation for telling people this. Sam hopes people will be so afraid of her doing that and stop going back and forth and just decide how they are gonna vote. Sam’s point is actually a good one. She’s tired of people running up taking to her about the vote. She doesn’t want to break a tie and hopes this forces people to work it out! However if she does break the tie we will be sure that it’s going to be Kaitlin she’s sending out. She really can’t stand Kaitlin she rightfully sees her as the bigger threat. Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t think sending Kaitlin out over Angie this week is the best strategy. But she’s reading the pulse of this house and is absolutely spot on that if people believe Sam will leave her decision to a dot again they are going to work much harder to make sure it is not a tie! These are the moments I love Sam! Once Sam not so subtly dismisses Angie from her room, she and Tyler returned to their discussion about which one should leave. Sam’s perceptions are based on who she sees as a bigger threat. Tyler points out Angie is coming for him! Sam says he doesn’t need to worry she won’t win anything and even if by some miracle she does they will protect him. Tyler asks what if Kaitlin comes right back in? Sam says I will kick her a$$ right back out again. Then Sam makes me LMAO by saying with some vigor, “I will stomp a mud hole in that B*%#&es chest!” She quickly covers her mouth and says I can’t believe I just said that! That’s the competitive part in me. They both laugh hysterically. That happens because Sam has made it clear both dots in the hat will be the same color but they don’t need to know that. Tyler says Kaitlin? Sam says yeah. Tyler knows Sam well enough that he’s shared his thoughts when she asks but doesn’t push back when Sam says how she feels. At this point they exchange their I love you’s to head downstairs and Sam quick wittily follows up with, “not like that though.” As they decide to exit Tyler says she should open the door and he will roll out to the left so no one sees him. This makes Sam Question how many times Tyler has hidden behind the bed and listened. He swears it was the first time and he only did it because SHE told him too. Ninja Tyler rolling out of the HOH and slithering onto the futon upstairs when Sam exits HOH so no one sees him leave the room. Again the exchange between them when he suggests she opens the door and he will crawl out to the lounge when she opens the door and then actually does it made listening to all of the back and forth the last 36 hrs worth it! 3:34 pm cam 4 Sam did point out to Tyler, like many others Tuesday that she doesn’t think these people realize when they made these 5 person alliances while she was a robot that they weren’t seeing the realness of the people in the house. She’s aware that people come in wanting the portray themselves a certain way but that’s can’t be maintained in the long term and now week 4-5 the real person is coming out. Sam tells Tyler that Tyler, Sam, JC, Kaycee, and Scottie is the 5 she’s comfortable with. She’s not saying she doesn’t think that an all Girls alliance is a bad thing but she’s not playing so ONLY a woman wins. She wants the best player to win and won’t decide things because they’re woman. She loves Tyler is he was there she’d want him to win. If Bayleigh is there she’d be happy if she won. Tuesday Angie is pretty sure she’s the one being voted out. She says she heard Rachel having a conversation about who next week’s HN should be and said Kaitlin’s name. Clearly Rachel believes Kaitlin will be here. I’m not as sure as she is anymore. Tuesday Brett has wavered. By Wednesday we hear Kaycee and Angela discuss the fact that Angela wants to vote what’s best for her game. She’s speculating that voting to keep Angie is better for her. That they want Angie to believe she’s responsible for bringing together an all female alliance but she’s targeting Brett and Tyler not the girls and that’s good for them. Listen this is the first week where L6 isn’t necessarily on the same page which is way more than we can say about Foute. Kaycee is agreeable in this conversation and they agree not to say anything to Rachel until just before eviction because she’s a maniac and they don’t want to give her details in advance. Angela finished with she will tell Angie minutes before eviction night that she’s voting to keep her. I’m unclear whether Kaycee is really on board with this or just agreeing for appearances sake. What I do know is Kaycee and Tyler made a F2 before feeds went live. We were given this information by the production leak. Days after we learn of their F2 Kaycee went to work buddying up to Angela and Rachel so she and Tyler planted themselves into the foursome (Bro’s/Angela/Rachel). So when things are said or occur we always see Kaycee at some point run the details back to Tyler. If she’s not truly planning to jump ship we won’t see her warn him about Angela’s. Let’s all remember Kaycee did tell Tyler about the all girls’ alliance when it happened but this is more about the vote. What is HAPPENING?! I’m so confused. I mean is all of JC’s badgering effective all of a sudden? That’s what the last 2 days of campaigning and strategizing to seize the majority vote has felt like. Monday it was a clear divide down the middle Foute voting for Kaitlin to leave while L6 voting for Angie to leave. Both knowing they needed one more vote to prevent a tie. Now by Wednesday afternoon JC and Tyler are in a power struggle. JC is adamant about flipping sides in the vote this week for the first time this season believing Kaitlin has to go and then he will control Foute side. Tyler is battling JC’s Napoleon complex and Kaitlin’s dramatic emotional terrorist attacks. Faysal started the week planning to take one off the bloc but finding a way to save them both. Now that JC has told him that Kaitlin’s been saying the same things to Tyler as she has to him he’s on board with sending Kaitlin out. What’s most puzzling to me is the fact all of these players are battling so hard when they know there’s a chance either one is likely returning. Tyler is the only one in the house that’s playing from the perspective it’s likely that if Kaitlin is voted out she comes right back in and all hell will break loose! Whereas Angie going out is the best odds of the evictee possibly failing to accomplish whatever task. He also sees that Angie going and coming back is likely to secure Kaitlin firmly on the L6 side of the line in the house and they can count on her to target Faysal. So it’s Wednesday evening now. The Veto episode is underway and we have no clear indication which nominee will actually go out tomorrow. I do believe Tyler is smart enough to not keep pushing his personal agenda aggressively. Even if he can’t swing the vote to send Angie out he will vote to keep Kaitlin so she will still ride for him and she will target Faysal and Haleigh for evicting her. That’s the end result he needs and if his alliance doesn’t see his desire to help position L6 the best possible way. JC doesn’t see he’s burned a huge chunk of his social capital in a week that really means nothing! The veto ceremony, Bro Fund Me, is similar to kick, slap, punch from last season. Players are going to be kicked, hit on the head (bonk) and chopped in the waist in a sequence and they must be able to identify when a certain action happens. This one is always fun to watch and poor JC the chopping action was leveled straight at his micro penis and needs an ice pack once the comp is over. As we know Faysal wins. As we saw Kaitlin corners Faysal before the comps and says she’s winning this and he has a choice. She can win and save herself or she can throw it to him so he’s safe and he can save her. He agrees yeah throw it to me and I promise I will save you. Then Faysal goes to Haleigh tells her about what Kaitlin just said but just know she said this but he’s going to save Haleigh he just wants to make sure if Kaitlin can throw it to him she will. Listen we all know Faysal was always going to save Haleigh. It’s time for the veto meeting! What we’ve all been waiting days to see! No pleas or speeches shown. Faysal saves Haleigh now Sam steps up. Sam says, “Fessy won the veto and chose to use it. Now I have to put a 2nd person. I haven’t really thought about it. Right now I’m going to put up someone I don’t think will leave. This person is well liked by everyone and is actually my best friend.” JC says Sam this isn’t a good idea. I don’t think you should do this. Sam says ok. I guess I will put up Angie (R.S.). and that’s all they showed. Very anti climatic compared to explanations when feeds had returned post veto ceremony but it did seem to get the point across. Sam tells us in her DR she really thought putting JC up was the safest move to ensure Kaitlin went home but when he reacted and spoke up she lost her nerve. Well good job JC. I’m not mad at that. Most people wait until they are OTB to save themselves but he took a stand right then and there and said Sam don’t do that and she folded like a Hamazon delivery box. There you have it! You cup runneth over with the RealiTea the last few days heading into eviction day tomorrow. I will be back tomorrow post eviction with all the RealiTea Bitez of details leading up to the vote and how this +1Life app plays out for the evictee! Faysal better pray it’s not Kaitlin because she’s crazy on a good day I can’t imagine her fury if she is sent out and comes back to win HOH!

Sunday was relatively low key day after 48 hours of some of the best feeds we’ve seen in years! I was grateful honestly I think LF deserved a break as much as the HG’s. Kaitlin did lay off her emotional terrorist attacks for a large portion of the day. Don’t worry the feeds turn up Monday once the explosive veto ceremony plays out. Before I share the juicy details of Monday’s post veto ceremony juicy RealiTea Bitez there are only a couple of interesting things happen on this Zen Sunday. The first being Scottie taking credit for convincing Faysal to secure his safety in veto during a convo between he and Kaycee in the BY. Scottie has spent the last two days going from player to player asking how they are voting. He’s desperately trying to gain intel and no one is really talking to him. While he has been very lucky, like Tyler, following week 3’s explosive ending, Scottie has attempted to transform himself into the submissive character but I don’t see any gains beyond the side effects of the house imploding with another unexpected outcome by Foute and Angie’s overly dramatic reactions to Brett’s imaginary back room deal with her. This should be a danger sign to sign to Scottie. Prior to his HOH despite knowing he was a Foute snitch people saw value in talking with him. This week he’s trying to sell he wants to vote with the house but so far I haven’t seen anyone bite. I suspect that will shift after the veto ceremony but you won’t believe why! Before I get to that here are the other two things Sunday brought us. While Kaitlin is a bit calmer Sunday morning I’ve already seen her working on Faysal in the bed while JC tries to sleep. Faysal has created his own drama this weekend winning the veto. Not only did he win but before Veto is player he promised Kaitlin he would use the veto on her. After he wins the veto he promised Haleigh he would save her. Kaitlin’s early morning whining continues until Sam calls everyone for the HN picks. This week’s HN-Rachel, Kaycee, Bayleigh, and Scottie. I think Bayleigh volunteering to be a HN with Rachel, Kaycee, and Brett was a very smart strategic move. Making herself a HN allows her a forced opportunity to weave herself into the good graces of Rachel and Kaycee. I’m so impressed with the majority of what Bayleigh has done to pad her social resume since Chris was sent home. Outside Sunday morning just when we think Kaitlin is going to pause her dramatics we find Kaycee is enjoying her morning beverage while Sam smokes and Rachel applies sunscreen. Kaitlin is off to the other side of the yard tanning and the second Rachel heads to the pool and Sam inside Kaitlin makes a bee line over to disrupt her solitude and start running her game on her. Complaining about Faysal. Kaitlin’s painting Faysal as a liar and someone not to be trusted and trying to elicit sympathy from Kaycee in hopes of luring her vote for Kaitlin to stay. Kaitlin points out that if he doesn’t use it on her everyone will know he’s a liar. 12:12 pm Monday Angie apologized to Brett for the way she reacted. Yeah so that happens. Sam spoke with Angie and encouraged her to make peace with Brett for her own sanity. Angie approaches Brett initially and he shuts her down! Then Sam talks to Brett and tells him Angie just wanted to apologize and he should let her so if she goes home she’s made amends. The apology took as long as it took for you to read that paragraph. It was awkward and swift. Had Savage Sam not been HOH and Veto ceremony had already occurred I don’t think this would have happened. Angie and Brett following their HOH dictator’s commands it seems to me for no other reason than I don’t want Sam to nominate me if I don’t do this so... The most interesting thing that happened all day happened in the early morning hours Monday. Haleigh and Faysal have a convo on the BY after 3 a.m. at the pool table. Faysal’s goal was clearly to save himself from being the renom but now it becomes crystal clear his intentions are to use this as a bargaining chip to lock down Haleigh and force her to stop having a social game. Faysal tells Haleigh he needs to know it’s worth it to him if he saves her from the block. Haleigh is like ok...what does shag mean? Faysal says if he uses it then that means Haleigh is his ride or die. He repeatedly says she KNOWS what he wants. He can save her but...Haleigh gets straight to the point and asks him flat out to describe what being his ride or die means to him. Faysal has the audacity to tell her from then on and he doesn’t want to use it on her and he ends up looking like an idiot so she has to stop playing with other guys’ hair, and flirty behaviors in general with anyone but him. I STAN for Haleigh in this moment because she’s livid he would even think about trying to control her with this veto! She makes it clear she’s having none of this b.s. and basically says fine then don’t use it on me. It was both nauseating (Faysal’s manipulation) and glorious (Haleigh absolute fury). If you have the feeds you want to FB and watch it. That’s it for Sunday. Nothing else of any real consequence happens, lots of tanning, eating, and a very long bubble session filled the day with the relaxing vibe Sam had hoped her entire HOH week would create. Monday morning is very low key prior to the veto ceremony. We see Kaitlin crying to Faysal still. Pleading for him to use it on her. But leading up to the ceremony it almost feels like everyone is hung over (they’re not). 12:24 pm Bay still attempts to massage Faysal’s decision about which to use the power on. Sam wanders over and asks if he knows If he will use it? She says he doesn’t have to tell her who or anything she’s just asking if he’s decided whether he will or won’t so she can focus on what her re-nom will be. Faysal doesn’t give her anything and pretends he still hasn’t decided. Feeds go down for the ceremony and LF are all anticipating their return because we are relatively certain Faysal will use the veto on Haleigh. We also are hunkered down awaiting hurricane Kaitlin’s torrential downpour of tears making landfall again in the BB house. What we got NONE of us could have predicted! Feeds return and Angie’s crying. Ok we were pretty confident that she would be the re-nom so no surprise here. Kaitlin’s unleashing her gale force winds on Faysal which confirms that Faysal did in fact use the veto on Haleigh. However we are not prepared for Sam talking about not wanting for her best friend JC to go home and JC is indignant saying he has the votes to stay? Huh? Wait! What? Did Sam nominate JC?! It seems like time stood still here for me for a little while. I’m in the car when feeds returned and thinking ok I must have missed something. Why is JC so pissed off? Sam’s an emotional mess and I hear her say she had to nominate 5 people this week? WHAT!? Did she try to nominate Tyler and he used his cloud app? All I can think is I need to get home and focus because this is insanity! Eventually things start to come out in bits and pieces. Apparently once Faysal uses the Veto Sam stood up and was looking directly at JC saying I was thinking about nominating my BF. How and why this happens is still unclear from the retells but Sam began sounding like she was about to put JC OTB and JC flips out on Sam and is like NO! You can’t put me OTB! What’s wrong with you? Eventually Sam does in fact end up nominating Angie but from what we are hearing this veto ceremony went off the rails! It’s impossible to completely understand what happened with JC and the veto ceremony until we see it air on Wednesday but it’s shaping up to be as explosive and shocking as the rest of Sam’s reign as HOH has turned out to be in a week we expected to be pretty meh. Sam also reveals the details of her power app. She explains she didn’t use it so now whoever leaves this week will automatically receive the advantage and have a ‘chance’ to return after the live eviction. Kaitlin starts some very interesting conversations when it is discovered that she’s been telling both Faysal and Tyler she has ‘feelings’ for them separately. This spreads quickly and will play into some of the shifts that are likely to find roots this week. Faysal is aware of this and he’s not feeling too sympathetic for her at this point. JC has been explosive today! He goes all in on Faysal for using the veto and not telling him. Really it’s Faysal used the veto and JC told him not to. Look what happens when you don’t listen to me! I’ve been loyal and honest with you and you’re not showing me you appreciate it. In fact your showing me you aren’t a good ally to have. This transpires in the HOH room after Sam says they can go up and talk privately. For me the only effective arguments JC makes with Faysal in this exchange is when JC tells Faysal what Kaitlin has told Tyler she has feelings for him. This gives Faysal justification for wanting Kaitlin out but that’s not what really drives the nail in Kaitlin’s coffin. When JC tells Faysal that Kaitlin told Tyler that Faysal said he has feelings for her and she just doesn’t want to hurt his feelings...that’s when you literally see Faysal’s poker face break! This blows Faysal’s mind. As the day wears on we see conversations throughout the house about this truth bomb re: how Kaitlin has been playing all sides. There’s tangible evidence now. This all comes about because there is some serious jockeying happening for this weeks vote. We find JC and Tyler in the geometry room strongly disagreeing about whether Kaitlin is the one that should be voted out. We know JC has been working all week to ensure Kaitlin is voted out. Tyler has a better sense of the likelihood of how this power may work, although no one knows for sure. This is the first time we’ve seen them really disagree. JC is absolute in his desire to evict Kaitlin. Tyler says hmmm hold on I’m not sure that’s really a good plan. Kaitlin’s easier to manipulate of the two. Tyler understands that Kaitlin is more likely to just come right back into the game and knows it’s not in anyone’s best interest to vote her out and have her using the revolving door to come right back in. They don’t finish this conversation but it seriously sets up the rest of the day. JC rallying to get Kaitlin out while Tyler works his angle. JC goes to Haleigh and she is 100% on board with evicting Kaitlin. That’s no surprise considering the swelling issues Foute has worn Kaitlin’s disloyalty and the Faysal triangle between she and Kaitlin. Neither can really be his ride or die (on the surface) so long as they both remain in the game. The most annoying part of the entire day is the absurd speculations about the vote last week and how this ‘chance’ will work we listen to the better part of the day. Haleigh asks JC if he was the hunky vote and to my surprise JC says he absolutely wasn’t but maybe it was Kaitlin and Tyler! Sam does have a brief chat with Brett. As we know last weekend Brett was told by Angela that Sam had a power that could have saved Winston and he was not happy about this news. Clearly Sam has enough game instinct to realize she needs to do some damage control with Brett. Sam explains she really thought about it. What’s key for me here is that Brett appears to Sam like it’s ok, no biggie, don’t worry about it which is the smart move whether that’s the case or not. We will see as time in the game passes after this week whether he really has let it go or if he will target Sam later because she didn’t save his Bro. Sam’s explanation of the power being used by default this week has sparked some interest in uncovering the hinky vote now that they all know that Sam didn’t use her power to eliminate votes as Kaitlin you remember swears is the only explanation for it all. However, Foute has not magically metamorphosized into a team that has any sense whatsoever. We are reminded of this when the speculation now becomes, Brett must have been the other power and he saves himself by switching votes. That’s really my only reason for mentioning any of this ridiculous speculation. Foute is still one of the worst alliances we’ve seen in a very long time and will likely make history with how awful they are. They don’t trust each other. They’re always on the wrong side of the votes. They flip on each other like Denny’s kitchen making pancakes on Sunday morning. Look we’ve known since week 2 that people in the game do not want Kaitlin there. They all can agree on that. I don’t think there’s one person that wants Kaitlin here much longer. Tyler has said she’s horrible for his game and unlike JC I haven’t forgotten that Tyler has only remained attached to her for their own (L6) benefit. Haleigh has been done with Kaitlin initially since the love triangle soap opera drama that unfolded week 1 which only solidified the following week when Kaitlin’s responsible for Chris getting voted out. All of Foute mistrusts her and sees her erratic behavior as a liability but have allowed her to hover among them for the same reasons Tyler and JC have. Tyler has a conversation with Faysal where he says he thinks Kaitlin should stay this week. Faysal of course says yeah yeah yeah initially. What I’ve seen this week since Faysal won Veto is he’s had this little taste of power and he seems to be attempting to actually play the game. Problem with Faysal is he has no idea how to really do so. I’m not counting him out in a rare possibility he could actually turn this crazy week into some advantages for himself but as we saw with his demands of Haleigh even his best efforts are ridiculous. Faysal turns the conversation on Tyler and begins to speculate ‘hypothetically’ what would happen if Kaitlin was the one to go home this week? This is NOT what Tyler wants to hear at all and he’s quickly deducing he has a long few days ahead to try and guarantee Angie goes out and potentially fails the chance comp that would allow her to return. Listen Faysal is trying to pitch a final 3 to Tyler here. The best way I can describe this exchange is a 14 year old boy who has never has a girlfriend trying to tell some girl he likes her and wants to make it official. It’s so awkward, hesitant, and just a dash of I’m wanting to do something so bad because I think it would be so good. Eventually Tyler, who is clearly puzzled by what Faysal is about to do but he eventually basically tells him to spit it out. Faysal asks Tyler what it would look like if Faysal, Tyler, and Scottie were work together. I mean how would it look if the 3 of us, IDK work together until like IDK maybe F3? Listen Faysal is terrible at this game, as JC has said in his DR and to Faysal’s Dave today he’s not a brainer. He thinks emotionally and plays that way and not a brainer player. I find it hella entertaining because he’s just so bad it’s good to watch! LOL. What is good about Faysal’s delivery is he reveals he’s concerned about the women turning on the guys. What’s bad is Faysal still, like most of Foute, believes 100% that Kaitlin is Tyler’s only ally, she’s his ride or die and she tells Tyler what to do. Tyler uses this to his advantage and while not solidifying an actual final 3 he plays into Faysal’s fears and perceptions and uses them to his own advantage as we’ve seen him do remarkably well week after week. Tyler does suggest the guys working to ensure the girls don’t pick them off is something he’s open to. Tyler goes to Kaitlin assuring her he thinks they can and almost do have the votes for her to stay. He explains they need one vote and he thinks she should go to JC. JC is pissed at Faysal. She needs to make the house believe she wants to target Faysal for betraying her. I’ve seen all of the myriad of fan conversations about who should stay and who should go. I can’t stand Kaitlin, the HG know unequivocally that she should not be on the jury. We can all agree on that. I am of the mindset that what we know is regardless of who they vote out they have a chance to return. Like Tyler I believe Kaitlin would absolutely complete the puzzle task and 99.999% chance she comes right back in. On the other hand Angie is a hot mess in competitions. Of the two it is far greater odds that Angie may actually fail to complete the task. Tyler has done a remarkable job at hiding the fact he is a super fan. In fact Tyler is the only one in this house that can actually keep a secret! He still hasn’t revealed to a soul that he won a power app. If I’m Tyler, and I know the game as well as he does, if the chance doesn’t actually bring a HG back then it’s possible either one less DE (less likely) or it may set up the season where a battle back would have to happen in later weeks and that’s another potential safety ring in my game. That’s all in addition to the fact that Tyler can and will continue to map out Kaitlin’s moves the next week and then they can send her out with no chance to return before jury. There are technically only two more HG they have to eliminate to make it to jury. I don’t think it hurts Tyler at all if Kaitlin gets voted out and returns. She trusts him and would keep riding for him and provide a shield to some degree for others thinking like Faysal. However if there’s even the slightest chance they can actually end the week with one number less because Angie is so bad at comps that’s a chance worth taking. By the time the night ends we are looking at a 5-5 split on the vote. Bayleigh does tell Rachel, Brett, and Kaycee she plans to vote with the house in the HN room. This is nothing more than a smoke screen because we then watch Bayleigh go to work to secure the votes to evict Kaitlin despite hesitantly agreeing to vote Angie out with L6. I want Bayleigh to slow her Roll here. Bayleigh has made tremendous strides slowly integrating herself into the hearts of some of the members of L6 like Rachel and Kaycee. Is it worth losing that momentum to try and control a vote that has the potential not to wash out clean in the end? I would hate to see her not do what she told them and burn her social capital over Kaitlin?! I don’t like the conversation later in the day with JC and Tyler. They’ve tag teamed this house brilliantly and for the most part have been transparent with each other. JC is well aware of the fact that Tyler has been manipulating Kaitlin. He’s been a part of doing so by reinforcing things Tyler does with her or to her all around the house. Until he was threatened with the block this morning. JC goes into a full spiral. It’s something we see nearly every season. When I person in a group is tasked with making it appear they are aligned with someone or some opposing team to benefit them as a group. What inevitably happens is at some point the player who was willingly doing the dirty work gets accused of being a double agent and working against the primary team. That’s what I see happening in this convo with JC. I expected this from Brett, Angela, Rachel at some point but not JC! JC is flat out telling Tyler he is being misted by Kaitlin. That Kaitlin is in fact the one pulling Tyler’s strings and he does whatever she tells him. Tyler’s reaction to this is exactly like mine! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Tyler’s the one who is five steps ahead of her he tells her to jump and she says how high! JC is like NO! She has to go. You’re blinded by her. Wow! The only value I see in this entire scenario is now Tyler is aware that JC is seriously believing what he’s saying and that will allow Tyler to hopefully get in front of JC’s insanity in the game. This is horrible for JC! He’s about to flip over to Foute and that will turn everyone else in the house against him. He’s been able to magnificently ride the line undetected and this could drastically diminish his position in the game. It’s also a little dangerous for Tyler but it could have been far more destructive if Tyler were not hearing this for himself. Fortunately for us JC goes to Angela on the L6 side and insists they need to vote Kaitlin out. He’s trash talking Rachel to Angela in this exchange which is another fatal error on his part. JC later runs to Bayleigh. Now this is where I’m thrilled! JC is insisting that Tyler is under Kaitlin’s spell. He has feelings for her and Kaitlin’s telling him she has feelings for him to manipulate Tyler and Kaitlin has to go! This is what leads to Bayleigh talking about the fact that Kaitlin has told Tyler the same things she told Faysal. Listen if I’m in this crazy house and something sounds to good to be true is be doing my own work to determine where the facts lie. JC tells Bayleigh what she wants to hear with regards to how she’s been trying to convince Faysal that Kaitlin is playing him. This rampant game of telephone continues all day and we’ve returned to exciting glorious feeds but not necessarily good game play in the big picture. Personally I think there is a higher chance that Kaitlin stays over Angie. This is despite the fact that right now the votes are a clear 5-5. This can’t end up in a tie. Sam had apologized to JC, she said it was all a ruse she never planned to actually put him OTB. I’m not confident in that story but what does happen is she told JC if it does result in a tie she will vote however JC wants and that would be to evict Kaitlin as of Monday. I’m sure Sam will leak this to Tyler at some point this week. Whether Kaitlin goes out and comes back honestly doesn’t harm Tyler because it will be L6 voting to keep her. I don’t think Foute has the tools to play that it was the other team that flipped on her. We will continue to see how things shift as the next few days play out. That’s the RealiTea of the game a couple days leaves the possibility for something to change.

Every LF was anxiously awaiting this start of Saturday morning. HG are up early to draw for veto players. Kaitlin’s of course shadowing Faysal at this point and demanding Tyler convince Faysal to save her over Haleigh. Eventually the Veto players were drawn. Week 4 Veto players: HOH-Sam Nominees-Kaitlin/Haleigh JC Faysal Angie The most spectacular part of the veto draw is the fact that Haleigh chooses Faysal to play in the veto. This sends Kaitlin spiraling after the draw. She’s furious that Faysal told Haleigh to pick him to play. She asks Why would he do that after he promised Kaitlin he would use the veto on her last night? Did you tell her to pick you? But you promised me! Granted Friday Faysal did tell Kaitlin that he would use the veto if he won and Kaitlin did in fact say to him, even if Haleigh draws your name? This was insanely stupid on his part. He did tell both of them to pick him. Faysal in those moments was more concerned about getting picked to play to prevent himself from going up of one of them comes off the block. Horrible game play! Although it has created a day filled with dramatic feeds. There wasn’t really any direct threat of him being the re-nom so if you look at the big picture this is building up to potentially be one of the worst game moves in BB history. Kaitlin has been moving and shaking leveling her emotional terrorist attacks all over the house since feeds returned from nominations yesterday. As much as I can’t stand her and count the seconds until she’s off the feeds, she’s hustled her little 4’ 9” tail off. Now let’s be real here she’s been way too aggressive. She knows how to adjust her approach if it’s a guy but with the women she’s always more aggressive, antagonistic, and argumentative. The other thing is she NEVER lets anyone talk! It’s infuriating. Guilt isn’t working and never does because people just get resentful. We see how this works out when Kaitlin tries to persuade Angie to keep her over Haleigh. Angie and Kaitlin faced off Saturday morning and I was LIVING for Angie’s refusal to back down and tell Kaitlin flat out why she’s not the one of the two she would keep. Kaitlin hears that Angie is still salty about the Chris eviction and she’s scrambling now that she realizes her own ‘team’ that she’s been actively playing against for 2 weeks is mad at her and she could go home! Angie calls Kaitlin out for betraying the group flipping her vote, sending Chris out without any consideration for how other Foute people felt. Kaitlin tries to twist turn and wiggle her way out of all the valid talking points Angie has but Angie holds her own with her and it’s one of the few times she speaks that I’m cheering her on. It’s annoying to me that more people don’t refuse to engage Kaitlin’s nonsense. Later in the day it gets even better when Bayleigh and Angie decided to wear Swaggy t-shirts which sends Kaitlin over the edge! From Kaitlin’s point of view this is a clear slap in her face. They are wearing them because they are still mad about the Chris eviction? In her mind how dare they still be mad and holding some sort of grudge when she stood in her truth! I LOVE that they did this! I love that Kaitlin is completely traumatized by it! All feeds gold! Angie did not back down and counters every single self serving egocentric excuse Kaitlin tries to twist in her justification for being the worst member of a team! This gets worse for Kaitlin later in the day when Faysal is using some facts to justify his potential distrust of Kaitlin. But first... Angie has exhausted her fury over the Brett situation. People in the house are just as tired of listening to her as LF’s are at this point. Angie did finally say something that made me laugh. Faysal was asking Bay to repaint in pinky nail black explaining he’s had it that way the whole game he wants it fresh for Veto. Angie says maybe he should change colors then because that hasn’t been going so well for us. LMAO I also love a convo between Faysal and Kaitlin later after this veto comp is played and Kaitlin is trying to now play the, “but my family needs the money, I’m doing this for them” and Faysal counters her with the fact Chris tried to plead with Kaitlin along very similar lines and she didn’t give him any consideration for his desire to improve his current financial concerns. She instead offered to write him a check for $5k! Omg! This was so glorious! Kaitlin’s latest ploy this afternoon has been telling people her father’s bank vault was robbed and she needs this money to help him regain what was lost. Yes, she went there. This story is so asinine I wasn’t going to bother with it except it shows how her desperation grows as the day ticks on. Crying hasn’t worked. Threatening isn’t working. Baby talk hasn’t been effective nor has guilt. So now she’s trying to spin the most ridiculous story she pulled out of this air which is apparent by how unbelievable it is. Your dad has a bank vault? I think you safety deposit box. And all banks are federally insured you fruit loop dingus so any loss would be covered. Bayleigh and Foute are still sure there will be a battle back next week. I will be happy when this twist happens maybe they will stop talking about it. What am I saying this is Foute they will keep talking about it anyways. (Me sighing) 12:30 pm PBR Angie is spitting some truth to Kaitlin and makes it clear she will keep Haleigh over Kaitlin’s traitorous self. Kaitlin does not manage this well. Thank you Angie! Feeds go down and Veto is underway. Veto has been played! Of course the one player who should not win is dumb enough to WIN! Yep, Faysal wins veto! I’m hoping that the only reason he won it was because it was down to him and Kaitlin. Otherwise this was one of the dumbest moves I’ve seen in a LONG time! Of course we quickly learn that Kaitlin did in fact throw it to Faysal because moments before they started Faysal tells her to throw it to him so he can save them both. He needs it for safety. Feeds return and Kaitlin is in full interrogation mode! Initially she was on cloud 9, her day one has won and she’s safe because he told her he wants to be her super hero. Then she came out of her daydreaming and see’s his seen face and knows he’s avoiding looking at her. She corners him and she says you are going to save me right? Faysal’s response his well....I need to think about it... Let’s just pause here for a second. Let me convey to those who maybe don’t have the live feeds and can’t fully comprehend the torture it is to listen to and watch Kaitlin all day long that this moment...right here...is like a unicorn for live feeds! We always say, oh wouldn’t be great if this happened? Most of use are enduring this and thinking there is no way Faysal is dumb enough to want to play in this Veto. Tyler knows he doesn’t need this in his BB life so as dumb as Faysal is he won’t. Then he does! We get the one thing we know will create the MOST drama! Now we all laugh and discuss the fact this kid has to throw this now. He does not want to win this. He knows he would have to pick between the girl he loves and the girl who gives him all the attention the girl he loves doesn’t. Faysal knows he can’t put himself in this spot. Right? He has to? No one can be that stupid? Feeds return and another unicorn sighting! LF’s get exactly what we wanted but were certain would never happen. It happens again! Only this time the unicorn (feeds) is rolled in some glitter and has rainbows shooting from its butt! When I say #teamgoodfeeds this is what I am talking about! Game wise every move Faysal is making is exactly the opposite of what he should. As LF’s we are NEVER lucky enough to get the most ridiculous outcome possible and here we’ve had almost a full 48 hours of it. This week was a perfect storm and blindsided LF’s in a week that wasn’t going to matter, predicted to be mildly boring because we know, Sam knows, Tyler and Kaycee know that this week is a reset week. Week 4 the heavens opened up and we have a crazy Sam as HOH. We get crazy drama from crazy Kaitlin as a nominee. Only to be gifted a lunatic winning the power of Veto being the only person really in the game that shouldn’t have won it! At this point in the weekend Kaitlin is full stage 5 alert going on and on. She’s torturing Faysal with her unrealistic demands and for me of all things I wouldn’t care for the fact she’s made every thing about her. What would be smarter is to take Haleigh’s approach which is empathizing with him for being in an impossible position. Kaitlin doesn’t even know how to chill! She swings uncontrollably from behaving like a toddler to a middle schooler with Faysal. It’s insane. Baby voice and you know I’m you day one if you did this I won’t be your friend. Quickly escalating to a hormonal pre-teen threatening if you don’t do what I want you to do I’m done with you! You’re dead to me and you don’t want that so you better save me! Listen BB summer is like research for teaching middle school. I get to take notes on how these behaviors come about what certain people need to see or hear to manage them! Most of the conversations and behaviors are mirror images of what I see and hear all day at work. Fortunately watching from a fat allows me to enjoy the entertainment of it all and collect valuable tools for behavior management. Hmm. Maybe I should deduct the cost of the live feeds as a business expense? LOL I’m just kidding but you see my point? I’ve never watched a more mentally unstable player in the game in 20 seasons and we’ve had plenty of loon’s over the years. I’m guessing Faysal and Tyler will share an Lyft to the courthouse to request their restraining orders post BB. Faysal does try to negotiate some answers from her. His questions about why she’s withheld so much from him between the flipped vote for Steve and no warning about Chris. He’s cleverly (unintentionally) taunting her with why should I trust you? You didn’t tell me about the girls alliance. Nothing you’ve done shows me that I’m your #1! Again I love every millisecond of this exchange but horrible strategy by Faysal knowing how erratic Kaitlin is. Just know this goes for about 16 rounds by days end. Which has us wondering ok, this horrible recruit has done every single thing he shouldn’t will he ACTUALLY SAVE KAITLIN? As the day ticks by we see witness Faysal talking to nearly everyone at one point or another behaving so torn. I however am thinking there is zero chance he will use this on Kaitlin over Haleigh. Now that he can’t go anywhere and he can use this in his courting of Haleigh the rest of the season dangling the, I saved you! You should be falling into my arms finally. Well, honestly if Kaitlin leaves the house I wouldn’t be surprised is Haleigh does actually submit to her attraction to Faysal later in the game. For now Haleigh’s approach is to give Faysal all the attention possible, cuddling, flirting, touching, feeding his need for her attention. Thank goodness (around 8:30 pm) Faysal finally told Haleigh he plans to use the veto to save her. This seems reliable because since feeds returned he’s danced around Kaitlin’s demands for his sworn dying loyalty and guarantee that he will save her. Listen if Kaitlin really could have won this and threw it to Faysal she had motives. Kaitlin’s ego would want to make him stand in front on Haleigh and profess his loyalty to Kaitlin over her in front of everyone. That’s the nasty vile kind of who maniac she is in this house. I HOPE she threw it! I hope they vote her out! Kaitlin isn’t the type of person that would throw it to guarantee her day one’s safety. No way! The same way she demanded Brett apologize to her on live TV, she wants Faysal to fall on the sword for her as well. For the remainder of the day Faysal wanders around with his woe is me story for everyone that will listen the rest of the night. Even after he’s already told Haleigh he’s bringing her down. I think 10% wants to hear what people are thinking but not to hear which person they want to stay but to gauge where he will stand with the house when he makes this move. He wants to save Haleigh. 100%. I feel like he genuinely feels the pressure of now having to choose between his two ‘girls’. Kaitlin accurately points out to Tyler and Kaycee in the geometry room that her biggest fear in the love triable between herself, Faysal, and Haleigh week one was that with those two they would always choose each other over Kaitlin and now that’s what is happening. I need Faysal to realize that if he leaves Kaitlin up there and she doesn’t win her way back in on eviction through Sam’s power app he becomes the hero in every single players eyes! No one wants Kaitlin there and he’s one of the few that doesn’t realize this. 9:50 pm Sam/Tyler/Bayleigh eventually interrupts a private chat between them. Tyler has been trying to see if Sam will confirm to him who she use as the replacement nominee. Sam is having no part of that at first. She very absolute in her resolve to not tell anyone anything until the veto ceremony. Tyler tries to adhere to Sam’s desire to follow the word for word rules the HOH gets. He says ok, you can’t tell me who you will...are you willing to tell who you won’t? Eventually with enough verbal massaging it does seem Tyler gets a little insight but definitely not as much as he was hoping for. Sam had told Tyler and Rachel that Angie would go up next if need be. Now In this post veto conversation Sam says she won’t bother with Angie. People want her out, she can go next week, she’s not a threat she can’t win anything. Now Tyler is really seeming internally concerned. I think he gets enough to know it won’t be him. She does allude to Rachel. My thinking here is Sam wants to sit someone next to Kaitlin that would never be voted out over her. She wants Kaitlin to be evicted. That’s perfectly clear. Once Bayleigh interrupts crying and appearing highly stressed and emotionally vulnerable (she absolutely knows that how you appeal to Sam) this turns into a you’re ok pep talk for Bayleigh. Listen without going round and round with exactly what was said Bayleigh walks into this room with an agenda. She wants to break up the Sam/Tyler 1-1. She wants to sniff out whether Sam may be considering nominating her. She wants to seem done with her group. Bayleigh does all she can to minimize herself as a threat by focusing on the similarities she can draw between Sam having been isolated socially by a robot twist and Bayleigh being isolated because of her association with Chris. I won’t downplay that several HG have hit the wall that happens every season about week 4. Emotions run high, paranoia grows, people are missing their families. It’s all been building up and bubbles over year after year in this point of the game. I do know Bayleigh’s been frustrated with her team. She’s mad there’s so much information she wasn’t aware of. I also know Bayleigh is a warrior princes in this game and NEVER makes a move that isn’t defined and pre-meditated. You go Girl! I see you! I’m pretty sure Tyler sees her to some degree as well he’s just as careful with what he says to her while delivering just the right combination of empathy and encouragement. I started watching Tyler Sam convo about 9:45 pm and finally left about 10:20 once the 1-1 talk between Sam after Tyler’s exit. Bayleigh does a amazing job at playing the “I’m a lone wolf in this game...just like you Sam and shares some personal facts to reel Sam in. The only other moment Saturday that exceeds all of the rest of them is when Kaitlin goes full dragon mode when she feels personally attacked by Angie and Bayleigh electing to wear Swaggy C shirts when she is on the block. Kaitlin’s infuriated that they don’t stand behind her decision to evict him. She’s appalled they are still holding a grudge over and it and she’s seeing this as a gauntlet being thrown down where they will evict her over some (in her mind) petty revenge move. Um kind like what she did to him. Kaitlin is the victim in any given scenario. I love the shadiness of it all! I think the decision to wear them was outstanding entertainment. Unfortunately, for them, if they do vote her out and she does come right back this is a bad game move because Kaitlin won’t forget it. Who knows maybe if they all lead her to believe they will vote for her to stay and then flip at the last second she will be such a wreck she won’t be able to complete the given puzzle. From what I’ve watched of her she will more likely take her rage and use it to boomerang back into the game. By midnight the have not’s end and the traditional midnight food fest commences. I stop watching once we see Kaitlin now laying all over Faysal in round 16 of why he owes her. It eventually leads to Kaitlin reverting back to middle school girl desperately seeking any kind of male attention because all of her girlfriends get it effortlessly and she must find any way possible to achieve it. Kaitlin tells Faysal that she’s secretly in love with him. Isn’t that bad! I’m so naughty because I love you. I want to have sex with you! I’m done! I throw in the towel. I can’t watch anymore. She’s done this with both Tyler and Faysal various times throughout the last four weeks. I know Faysal has zero interest in actually falling for this but he loves that she wants him. He’s the kind of guy that will now throw this at Haleigh like look she wants me...I mean if you don’t want me I could easily go over there. In this aspect of emotional manipulation Faysal and Kaitlin are exactly alike. This truly has been the most exciting re-set week in the history of the game. All of this knowing there’s a very likely chance whoever goes out will solve the preschool level puzzle task and walk right back in. I suspect we see much of the same on Sunday. I do hope Tyler finds a path to prevent Sam from announcing her power on Monday. At the very least he really needs to get her to wait until eviction day. Brett and Angela now know about it but Sam has a lot more to lose than gain by leaking this detail. Can you imagine all of the build up production has made leading into the final week of Sam’s power and she destroys any semblance of the shocking reveal to HG when the power is actually activated. Nothing about spilling this is a good idea. That’s the RealiTea! Savage Sam has been a loose canon all week so far so there’s no telling what she will do! I will however be back to spill all of the details after the veto ceremony tomorrow.

It feels like we’ve had an entire season of BB in one weekend this week! This Sam HOH and nominations has delivered by far the most dramatic and exciting feeds and LF could hope for! Kaitlin is at defcon 5! Sam is harsh, tight lipped, and in her mind telling everyone exactly what they need to know to make this a calm chill representation of good sportsmanship and an honest clean game. The outcome of Sam’s extreme case of HOH-itus is exactly the opposite of what her intentions were. So much has happened this RealiTea has been brewed in a Friday post nominations edition and Saturday veto’s edition. Sit back relax and let me take you on a ride through the series of events from Friday late afternoon through about 2 a.m.. Friday 5:10 pm Rachel/Angela have officially made a F2 and named their alliance the ‘Vixens’. Why do these people have to name everything?! Drives me batty. Ok back to this conversation. They decide they are going to stage a fight between the two of them to make people believe Rachel is open to Girls alliance or Foute. They agree they could do it now and fight over Brett. Rachel goes to work on trying to connect more with Kaycee and weaves in some grievances about Angela/Brett as pre planned. Rachel/Angela make fun of Sam. Angela spills tea that before or during live show Sam looked at Brett/Winston and said you both are going to be ok. So they thought Sam was gonna save them both. I am finally going to wave the white flag where Angela is concerned. It’s week 4 and not only can’t she remember what her own alliance is doing but she’s managing to share information she shouldn’t without any thought. I concede she’s just a little gnat buzzing around doing absolutely nothing but annoying us LF’s. Angela you have been evicted from my rankings because Orwella contributes more game than you do! 7:45 pm Kaitlin/Faysal Kaitlin noticeably uses a completely different tone and voice in conversation with Faysal. How she speaks to him is worlds different than with Tyler. Granted Faysal is a beta so he’s the kind of player that needs tough love. The other side of this is while Tyler has the patience of a Saint with Kaitlin and seems very passive in the house he is not a beta and he does put his foot down with her in a way that’s makes it clear she can’t talk to him the way she does with so many others. As I watch her you see Kaitlin kisses Faysal on the cheek today numerous times. I say this because Faysal has kissed Haleigh on the cheek several times post nom’s. Kaitlin wants everyone to use the veto if they compete and she’s stepping up her worship of Faysal to massage his ego enough to persuade him to promise to use the veto on her even if Haleigh was the one to draw Faysal’s name. At this point we all know Faysal’s entire residence in the BB house revolves around concurring Haleigh. I mean while the rest of the house was reeling from the live eviction and blindside or Brett’s speech re: Angie...Faysal is desperately trying to get confirmation that Haleigh likes him. Bayleigh is the only one who says straight up-she never talks to me about you like ‘I like him’ she’s never said that. My point here is Faysal does little else besides pine for Haleigh. So there is no chance in BB hell that he would EVER choose to save Kaitlin over Haleigh in this veto. When Kaitlin is asking if he would use it to save her he pauses and fumbles his words. If I’m the HG asking this question in this situation his knee jerk response and hesitation tells me everything I need to know. Conversely, Tyler handles this Kaitlin says she thinks she would stay. I am dead serious here. She tells Faysal, “All these people know what I did for them week 2.” Kaitlin has pretty much gone to everyone trying to secure their allegiance for Veto. She’s made Faysal swear he Would use it on her if he won even if Haleigh pulled his name in the veto draw. Faysal actually swears! Now I know he won’t keep that promise but I think like us he’s so tired of listening to her he would rather ask for forgiveness than permission. 7:52 pm K/F BA Faysal wants to know what the other alliance she was in was? He’s dangling his Loyalty for some truth bombs and she swears she never had another alliance outside of Foute. When he points out that her and Tyler are a pair she’s like “No, we are just there for each other I mean it’s not even that serious. For me I go in chronological order. So I may have an agreement with someone but if it was made after the one with you then that’s the order I will be loyal. WHAT?! Listen I know Faysal is absolutely clueless in this game. I don’t care how much of a buffoon you are there is zero chance you can’t clearly hear that her loyalties blow where the wind does and Faysal has dealt with her enough to know if he or Tyler or Haleigh ever said this same thing to her she would go full Tasmanian devil on them. 8pm Tyler/Sam HOHBA Sam says she talked to Haleigh/Kaitlin so now there’s nothing else to talk about until Veto is played. Then she will talk to them but nothing else until nominations are locked. At some point Tues/Wed I will tell them both ‘hey no matter who it is that is evicted has a chance to come back because my power gives you that chance’. Sam tells Tyler she’s interested to see how the ‘campaigning’ will change between veto ceremony and when I tell them. She goes on to explain her thinking on how to reveal the power and chance. She does tell him unless that messes up your or Kaycee’s games because everyone has been told the power expires or whatever. I don’t want to mess up anyone’s game or someone else’s power. Sam also reveals she’s smarter than anyone has given her credit for. Sadly after she’s said enough consecrated and wildly narrow minded comments to have all of BB Twitterdom unleash full out war on Sam. Sam eventually explains to Tyler the reason she chose Kaitlin and Haleigh is because she sees them as the weakest players with the least chance to actually win the ‘chance’ to return after this week’s eviction. This is the one thing Tyler hears that I think gives him enough information where he doesn’t feel like exerting any further pressure at this point will be of value to him. For me, I wish she had led with this. I’ve said before, the LF in me LOVES all the drama and chaos Sam’s renegade HOH has manifested. As a gamer, she would have been much better served to withhold her holier than though moral police speeches and simply say, Kaitlin you’re a threat to my game. Haleigh you are her BF and in this game duos are a liability. That’s it! Nothing else! My only real comments on what Sam did this week will relate to how I see this from a game play perspective. I have NO desire to debate either side of what specifically was said. It’s not relevant in this context beyond a game standpoint. Sam has made a lot of HG’s distrustful of her now and caused quite a rumble within the BB fandom. When she takes personal issue with how they are playing the game and points out in her speech that she doesn’t care for the way these ladies use flirting as a strategy it’s an unnecessary attack. Sam clearly made a point specifically about Kaitlin laying all over several men when she has a BF at home (or did before this season began). Is Sam wrong? Well not in her analysis of how both are playing their games. We’ve all talked about the fact Kaitlin has portrayed herself as thirsty with the sexual proclivities with both Faysal and Tyler. It’s been like a tsunami of disgust by the majority of BB fans who take great pleasure in joking about the fact she’s now been excommunicated by her fiancé. We’ve all seen Haleigh deny Faysal’s advances and assert her right to flirt with Brett, Tyler, Scottie. Is it how I would play? Nope! Have plenty of previous HG used these same tactics as strategy? Yep! Plenty of times. How I see the problem is...Sam has every right to perceive their games as shady and hurtful. This is a social game let’s not forget this. A huge part of staying power in this game is how people perceive you. Sam’s acting on how she personally sees things and that’s ultimately what every player is meant to do in this game. It’s how they do or don’t do it that matters most. The smallest joke, comments, glances, Over celebrations, excessive snoring, grating laughter can make you a target in this house. You do always have to be aware of how you are being perceived. Kaitlin and Haleigh know that they were annoying Sam, whether that was a rational feeling in Sam’s part of not they were both very well aware she had a stick in her craw prior to her winning this HOH and neither bothered to do one damn thing to troubleshoot the potential problem. Kaitlin and Haleigh both have a lot of knowledge about BB. Sam is a recruit found on Instagram by casting. She’s country, she’s demonstrated she has a very narrow point of view when it comes to how people should treat each other. Whether you agree with her or not she’s a player in the game. They diminished the knowledge they had, just like they both have many many times in this game so far and like every other time or came back to bite them in the butts. You remember Jerry? Renny? Monte? Cody? Danielle R? Jen? Dick? Natalie? Frank? Ragan? Donnie? I mean we’ve had no shortage of players in 20 seasons that judged or were harshly judged on a plethora of small and large personality traits that didn’t run people the right way based on their personal moral compasses. What frustrates me the most about Sam’s HOH this week is she’s completely steered her game into a ravine. No one was talking about Sam! She could have kept cooking and cleaning and telling everyone she loved them, only won if she really needed to and coasted her way to the last 30 days of this game with ease. Now people are looking at her like I don’t want her rogue type of play to lambaste my game. Moving on. While Sam’s explaining her thought processes and logic behind these moves JC has been leaning on the doorbell for 5 min! You can see it’s driving Tyler insane but Sam just keeps insisting they need to ignore him. Once she’s done and Tyler wants to say something she says you can let him in now. You can see Tyler’s annoyance when he tries to politely shew JC away so he can finally plant the seeds he wants but this is JC. He’s always a bull in a China shop. Fortunately for us, this trio alone in the HOH BA now is really funny. The banter between Tyler who’s trying to get things organized with Sam, JC, and Sam. Sam says Angie tried to sell something about votes for Brett and people flipping. Tyler asks if she knows who were the 6 that voted for Sam to stay. She doesn’t. She says she thinks some people said they were voting for Winston to stay and didn’t do what they said. Sam goes on to say she thinks JC/Rachel flipped. JC immediately defends himself saying he voted how he wanted to and didn’t lie, he never lies in this game. Now if people assume I was voting a certain way and I didn’t that’s on them. I’m always going to vote how I think is best for my game and who I like the best. Sam is so funny here because she’s says “that’s how you should vote. You need to work on your poker face though.” I about died laughing when she says this. I’m telling you Sam has an excellent read and is very aware of what and how all of these playing move. The only thing that made me laugh harder was JC’s response. The term Poker Fave in translation for JC but Tyler and Sam have a good laugh. Then JC and Tyler share some witty banter. This gives some small Bitez into how all 3 are thinking but the real value is in the comedic relief they offer after far too many hours of Angie whining about Brett and Kaitlin holding everyone hostage to her excessively annoying game play. Later at 8:40pm Bayleigh is talking to Rachel about how she’s over those people (her own team). She’s over it. This week she’s just voting with the house. Bayleigh is laying it on pretty thick. Ironically I think she’s doing to Rachel what Rachel and Angela just talked about doing to Foute. Pretend to be mad at your own alliance so we can gain inside information and make it appear we aren’t as tight as we are. I see YOU Bayleigh! She’s been doing the same thing with Tyler. She finds moments to seem vulnerable seeking a well developed storyline that allows her to seem separate from Foute since she’s watching them go down like flies and fail to execute any plan week after week. They both feed each other some BS here. It’s interesting to me to watch Bayleigh. She’s done a phenomenal job of integrating herself into the house as a whole since Chris’ exit. The problem I see for her is she’s still missing some key information. She’s using old insights to gain some footing in game where things change so fast she has no idea she’s playing off back issues of newspapers not the current edition. We will see her use this tactic even more obviously on Saturday. There was another conversation later in the night with Rachel/Angela. Listening to their conversations today was equally painful and insightful. Rachel is showing how she sees the game and what moves she and Angela need to make to keep themselves set up with some staying power. I enjoy seeing her mind work. Rachel is no slouch and for the most part she just relies heavily on her social abilities. There are people throughout the house who see that she is going to be a force to be reckoned with but in this current moment in the game she’s not an immediate threat. Underestimating Rachel is going to be something they will have to deal with. That’s if being attached to someone like Angela doesn’t blow up in her face. Angela is telling Rachel she thinks Angie did talk to Brett. Rachel’s face is everything during this convo. Rachel is like what are you talking about? We know that Brett made this up. “He’s on our team, It was the plan this never happened you know this right?” Of course Angela being the most boring HG in history continues to say that yeah but I think that Angie really did approach Brett. Rachel also talks about Brett being a threat to their games and that they need to keep him for now as a shield then they can cut him. Angela’s follow up is “yeah! Maybe Brett can take us all the way to the end? At this point I’m just dumbfounded. WHAT? Omg! Rachel really needs to consider her F2 with her! Later Kaycee/Rachel/Angela Have similar convo where Kaycee is asked if she thinks Angie did talk to Brett and she’s like ‘yeah I mean that’s what he said.’ I give Kaycee a little more credit. First of all, Brett pulled this out of his magic hat in the final minutes. This wasn’t planned ahead with all of Level 6. At this point I’ve watched Kaycee enough to think It’s possible Kaycee is covering because she doesn’t want to say anything to these two that she shouldn’t. Or she isn’t completely up to speed with why all that went down. This idea gets shot down Saturday when Kaycee tells Angela that Sam’s power doesn’t expire until this week. Then Angela runs right to Brett who is appalled to hear Sam could have saved Both the bro’s last week! Kaycee is beginning to do more and we are at a point where she needs to remember that herself, Tyler, and JC are not part of the original four and act accordingly. I make no secret of the fact that I like Kaycee. I think she stays invisible on purpose. I love her social game and I think we will see the hard core competitor come out in her the last leg of the game if she’s there. I hope she is. The remainder of Friday night is Kaitlin running from person to person sniffing out whether she wants them to play in the Veto. Also already trying to secure votes. I had to laugh watching her asking Brett of all people after last week “you are going to vote for me to stay right?” We also have now endured a good 48 hours of Angie going on and on and on about Brett. Honey people stopped listening about 36 hours ago and stopped caring about 4 hours before that. We get it! He hurt your pride. You’re furious this white kid got one over on you. It’s clear you have some past circumstances that have seriously skewed your perceptions and your projecting that onto Brett. What he did was strictly a game move and your excessively over dramatic response to it has done more harm to your game than his despite your best efforts. Let sleeping dogs lie already you sound petty and irrational. I made sure to stock up on all essential goods and be home Saturday after veto so I don’t miss a second of the highly anticipated results and after math of the veto. This dose of RealiTea should have you as excited about Saturday as the rest of the LF nation! Head over to Saturday’s break down to binge on all of the juicy Bitez from post veto.

I think it’s important for all of you to know that I am all about great game play. That comes in many shapes and forms but I love seeing players aware of the hierarchy of the players, make a plan, and execute it to propel their game. That being said I’m also team good feeds! I don’t care how terrible the game play. My disclaimer here is in this is I’m especially here for it if the excitement doesn’t burn others games whom I like. By all means blow up your own game. With all of that clear last night’s post live eviction party was incredibly fun feeds! No one except Scottie was free of some kind of drama or scandal and escalated as the night ticked on! Today as we head into nomination day Sam has adamantly been asserting she will not be chatting it up with anyone she knows what she’s doing so leave her alone! Sam leaks this morning a few people we won’t see OTB but otherwise she’s ready to make her own moves. Between last night’s full Foute implosion and Sam’s savage approach (which I love) to her HOH I have all of my snacks at hand and plenty of tea to sip all day long! Before I reveal the nominations let’s enjoy a all of the RealiTea from last night’s live episode fall out! To keep things simplified here’s a summary of how Kaitlin reacts to hearing Angie flipper her vote. How she responds to an accusation she herself flipped. Finally how she responds to have no idea what happened with the vote. Kaitlin argues with Haleigh Kaitlin argues with Faysal Kaitlin argues with Tyler Kaitlin argues with Bayleigh Kaitlin plays victim crying to Scottie Kaitlin plays victim crying to Tyler Kaitlin plays victim crying to Faysal The highlight of all the arguments was with Bayleigh for me so you can check that out below. That’s all I am covering of Kaitlin. We’ve all seen and read enough about her to imagine exactly how she behaves. What is important about Kaitlin’s cycle of aggression and victim noises is that Tyler seems to come away unscathed. The rest of Foute was already over her but saw her vote as a benefit and that’s currently no longer enough of an incentive to hang on to her. They are all DONE with her. Sam’s HOH 11:45 Savage Sam has been unleashed and she’s gives zero f’s about how anyone receives her HOH reign. Prior to getting her key she tells everyone that she is not holding 1-1’s. They can come for the room reveal but then they have to get out and leave her alone this week. No one is allowed in her room. She’s locking her door and people can’t be in there unless they ask and she’s in there. From a game perspective this is a horrific social game move. No one can really say much this week but next week and moving ahead I expect this to be talked about a lot. It’s obvious from Sam’s point of view she’s tired of people laying up under the HOH all week. It’s been a stressful few Weeks and hopes people use this week to take a step back, relax, no stressing this week. See Sam knows her power plays this week but no one else other than Tyler and Kaycee know this. For now people make a few comments here and there but there is so much other action going on it’s easily overlooked for now. I don’t think this works out well for her after this week. HN B/A/T Angela encourages Brett to play up being affected by Angie’s ‘bullying’. She’s called him white trash and is personally attacking him. Angela explains that Sam is sensitive to being kind to people and they can use what Angie is doing to gain sympathy for Brett in hopes Sam will target Angie. This gets deflated this morning when Sam announced to Level 5 crew that Angie won’t be going up. I share this because there’s some valuable insight into how Angela moves. Considering she’s silent 95% of the time hearing her describe to Brett how she perceives Sam and the best way to encourage Sam to do what they want is to appeal to her emotions. Angela is accurate in her assessment of Sam and her advice on how Brett should behave (Sad/wounded) is actually good advice were this any other week. I don’t expect to see anything from Angela for at least 3 more evictions because she is playing the silent out of sight out of mind after seeing how hard Foute was coming for her by day 3. She’s trying to float and while not my favorite type of game play, in her situation an affiliation to the bro’s it is the best move for her. After Kaitlin and Bay have their battle of strong wills Bayleigh leaves the geometry room and hears back to find Tyler trying to damage control her blow up with Kaitlin and I think sniff out where he really stands with her. Bayleigh goes and asks to speak to Tyler pulling him from Angela. Brett. Kaycee. Rachel in HN. They head to the PBR and she just vomits all of her frustrated emotions with Kaitlin all over him. Bayleigh downloads on Tyler that she’s about to snap on Kaitlin. She’s done with Kaitlin ‘bullying’ and tells Tyler she just can’t any more. Listen these two are on to each other. Neither is positive the other is on to them but each is very careful with every word they speak. Tyler does a magnificent job of empathizing with Bay’s frustration without saying anything directly negative about her. That’s the best move for now. Emotions are running high and the last thing he needs is someone like Bayleigh running back to Kaitlin revealing he has no intention of protecting her. Tyler also gives Bay a pep talk about not letting people (Kaitlin) get to her. Ignore it. Don’t explode it’s bad For your game. He sees exactly what’s happening he’s not blind to it. Eventually JC joins and backs up what Tyler has said about it’s a game you can’t let it push you. Don’t worry. I can see Bay’s wheels turning and it’s clear she’s very suspect of Tyler but I didn’t see where he showed his cards at all. He ends the convo with emphatically saying he will not share this convo with Kaitlin this stays between them and any time she’s about to blow and needs to talk she can come talk to him. Later in the evening Bay can be heard telling both Faysal and Haleigh (individually) that Tyler is behind this somehow and she can’t trust him. Faysal doesn’t buy it but Haleigh jumps right on the anyone but me train. Angie just completely lost her sh*t after Brett throw her UTB on the live show during his eviction speech. In the last blog I explained she cries for hours after this and trolls Brett calling him names, saying he’s white privilege attacking a working class mom just trying to get a down payment for a house. He’s an 80’s bully character slandering her good name. I was over it about 30 min after the HOH comp ended and said already this is yet another instance of horrific game play by her but it’s still important to report after crying for about 4 hours Angie starts banging pots and pans! 1:45 am after Faysal/Bay/Hal/JC encouraged her to express her truth. May as well since she’s already been crying and screaming in front of everybody. You can watch a clip where the best part for me is seeing Tyler dancing behind the door eating up every second of the chaos Brett caused (of his own plan) and Tyler is benefiting from ten fold for the time being. Tyler dancing behind the door is just a gift from the BB Gods at this point. This whole night works out for him perfectly. After a bit we find Angie (beet red in the face) sitting in the living room banging a pan with a spoon yelling at Brett upstairs playing Foosball with Angela with JC looking on. He’s ignoring her while she’s flushed and clearly losing her sh*t. Brett laughed at this all night until Angie literally sits on him. That he wasn’t down for but the rest is even more than he ever expected with his speech and he loves she’s showing the entire house just how crazy she is. Again I am HERE for all of this! People from various rooms listening from a distance while laughing. I’m here for Angie only further blowing up her game. I’m here for Brett playing it well which is only going to infuriate her more! This was Feeds gold! Fans everywhere were glued to their screens until well after 3 a.m. before the house calmed down at all. Awful game play but every twitter followers dream! 2:48 Brett tells Tyler Angie needs to go she cannot be in jury. Tyler agrees saying she will never vote for any of them to win. Me: they better get Angie and Kaitlin out back to back next week. Wouldn’t it be AMAZING if Kaitlin went out this week and failed the ‘chance’ challenge to return to the game? Kaitlin is really at the center of 85% of all the drama in the house every week and isn’t even really playing the game. From my perspective thanks for some Telemundo Level feeds but you’ve exceeded your entertainment factor and every player in this game should absolutely want her out before jury. The one unexpected turn of events last night was Scottie is virtually invisible all night. I mean he’s eating up the fact there’s chaos everywhere because that’s a perfect distraction away from him but you hardly ever see him anywhere and he’s the quietest he’s been since Steve was in the game. This is the BEST case scenario for Scottie coming off his HOH. The house is shooketh and I kept looking for him in a corner with popcorn enjoying the show like a LF. Based on the outcomes of his HOH all of the drama and chaos couldn’t have benefited anyone else more than him. It would be a disservice to JC to not mention is outstanding performance tonight. He plants a seed with Bayleigh right before the vote telling her Kaitlin is turning on them, he’s knows it. She’s gonna flip her vote. He flutters from room to room accurately telling each player/group exactly what they need to hear and because he’s so tight with Faysal at this point in the game Faysal absolutely vouches for JC insisting he’s certain JC voted to evict Brett. He and Tyler really come out on top by the end of the night but tomorrow morning could be a different story once all the HG have a good night’s sleep and some new perspective so they need to be very purposeful in each move they make the remainder of this week. Especially if Kaitlin goes on the block! We have numerous people in the house FUMING most of not all of the night. Bayleigh and Haleigh are so furious I half expected Kaitlin to burst into flames from their death stares. Angie is laser focused on her own feelings and making Brett miserable and her venomous response to his little plan is glorious to witness. Kaitlin runs from person to person being mad at them. Angela is pissed at Angie’s personal attacks on Brett to the point she’s telling him to go to the DR and complain. Bayleigh is WAY over FOUTE and cursing Chris and Faysal dragging her into the worst team in BB history when she could have been on the winning side of the house. Last but not least Faysal is indignant about the fact Haleigh and none of the women want to be in a showmance with him. Yes, he is literally more worried about whether Haleigh likes him. I stayed up until people finally went to bed and the only people still moving around (Faysal/Haleigh/JC/Scottie) eating raw cookie dough because they were going to take too long to bake. Sam/Kaycee/Angie in KIT 10:45 a.m. Sam in her HOH robe says the reason she’s not letting anyone in her room all week. If you want a place to have some privacy you gotta earn it. A few minutes later she said she’s not using the camera system this week she brought the remote is down here (kitchen) so no one can use to. I don’t need to watch people talking in the kitchen I can be down here and see that. She does go on to say that she will let people take a poop alone in her HOH when they want. Angie starts to try to say that she would let people in her room but that’s a personal thing. 11:15 Kaitlin/Angie arguing about Brett’s speech. Kaitlin is still insisting she’s the real victim not Angie. Angie should be feeing bad for her. Angie tells Kaitlin she doesn’t think Kaitlin should be running around kissing up to Brett, it’s not a good look but Kaitlin can play her game how she wants. 10:37 Sam tells Angie (in the kitchen) she can relax she’s not going OTB. Just sit back and chill this week. Sam gives her a lecture/pep talk and suggests Angie take a cue from Kaycee and Angela on how to lay back and chill. This doesn’t go over well and Angie of course responds let’s see how chill they are when their game is under personal attack. 11 am Kaitlin goes to Tyler and tells him she knows no one flipped the vote. She believes all of them and she knew Something was wrong 5 min before they began last night. She saw Sam come out of the DR cackling and now she realized that was her gut telling her something was wrong. She says she questioned Sam about it and now that’s proof, her intuition is never wrong, Sam used her power to change the votes. If you want to watch another insane Kaitlin manipulation of the present and twisting it to the past so she can claim she sees the future check out the clip below. https://twitter.com/bbmattyg/status/1020386445192818688 Feeds went down just before 12:30 and been down longer than usual. Feeds finally returned and Savage Sam unleashed her quiet fury! Kaitlin is OTB! Sounds like Haleigh and Kaitlin were nominated and Sam called them out for playing the ‘flirt’ game. Sam says they are the opposite of ‘female empowerment’ They concentrate on flirting from guy to guy and makes a point of commenting on Kaitlin especially considering Kaitlin has a BF at home! Kaitlin is a puddle because of what Sam said and everyone is making their mandatory rounds sympathizing an acceptable amount for her. She’s already asked Tyler is he would save her if she has HG choice should she pick him? What’s his position. Tyler plays this well and says of course she can choose him. It would be weird if she didn’t. He swears if he were to win he would be her knight in shining armor. Which tells us pick him so he can throw the comp to Sam. There you have it! This was a huge jug of RealiTea after one of the best night of feeds in years! I LOVE that Sam called Haleigh and Kaitlin out! Thanks for putting them both up which puts Faysal in a horrible position and Haleigh is already on her apology tour. I will be back tomorrow with the full rundown of how the day of Kaitlin’s pity party festival plays out. I’m guessing attendance will be low.

You know what’s great about this season? EVERYTHING! For years we’ve endured knowing exactly what was gonna happen, never ending ‘house votes’, and predictable power houses dominating the game. This season really should take any long time BB fan back to the days when 16 people went in the house wanting to win the game! Not make it to jury. Not just begging for followers. This season, this cast, is full of ‘sleeves rolled up, ready to battle’ players week after week and I love it! Tonight’s live eviction episode was packed! When the feeds went down it did look like there would be a likely 7-5 vote to evict Winston. As I mentioned yesterday Tyler had conceived some plan to pin his and JC’s votes on two people from Foute (one being Kaitlin). Remember I said I couldn’t begin to guess how he thought he was going to pull that off? Well if you saw Brett’s eviction speech alleging Angie tried to strike a deal and plans to vote Winston out and pin it on Kaitlin, that is exactly how these two plan to divide Foute and keep them all feeling like they can’t trust anyone in their own group. When feeds return we have the HOH, which I really expected to be a battle of wills between Foute and people like Brett, Rachel, Angela. Imagine my shock when 35-40 min in we are suddenly down to Kaitlin, Kaycee, JC, Sam, and Tyler! What? Really? Foute you just got screwed in the voting for the 3rd week in a row and Haleigh and Bayleigh couldn’t cling to those trees like wolves were chomping at their feet! JC falls, hard to tell in that moment if he threw it or slipped. Now I’m ready for a long night. Kaitlin is many many things and stubborn is at that top of that long list. She’s built for comps like this and since not one other Foute was still in the running it’s easy to assume it would be a while. Then Kaitlin falls within minutes of JC and Kaycee practically jumps on top of her for as fast as she bailed once Kaitlin is out. Remember the last 4 from the Level 5 side all know about the power. They know this week it is automatically played. Any reasonable BB player wouldn’t want to put people up and make waves in the house when it will all be for nothing! The problem is now Tyler once again dominates another competition and you have to think he’s running scenarios. Winning this comp is bad for his game. Letting Sam of all people win could be equally as bad considering how unpredictable she can be. Sam can be volatile and she doesn’t like the part of playing where people have to go home. I know for Sam she’s thinking I was a robot and now I am gonna win this HOH. She’s also likely thinking if she wins this week, knowing the power is going to be used she doesn’t want to have her power screw up anyone else’s HOH. If I’m Tyler here I am seriously running through everything in these moments as Sam as screaming at him to let her have it. She points out he’s already had the room. I think Tyler ultimately does the best thing. He doesn’t need any more attention on him or Kaitlin in the HOH under him all week betting to play hide to cucumber. He hung in long enough to look like he was trying and possibly worried after the vote. He always gives Sam what she wants. As long as he can work with Sam to make this week as beneficial as possible he should be fine. Sam wins the HOH! The scene the ladies from Foute made was a little embarrassing you would think one of them won. But again that’s a great sign that the work Brett. JC, Kaycee, and Tyler put in to inspiring fear and dissension is working. When HG re-enter the house we see Angie is still reeling from Brett’s attack on her character. She’s sobbing for a good long while and eventually mid sob she is summoned to the DR. Meanwhile is anyone surprised to see Kaitlin acting like a junk yard dog trying to nail down who flipped. We see her sucking up to Brett the second she gets the opportunity. It’s nauseating to watch her tell him that she’s so glad he stayed. She didn’t want to vote against him but just so he knows she apologized to his family when she did it (no she didn’t). She gushes with gratitude for apologizing to her on national TV (like she demanded he do). Eventually Tyler joins the HN room where Kaitlin has been holding court with Brett in front of JC, Rachel. Angela. Haleigh has come in and Kaitlin demands for Haleigh to confess who she really voted for which doesn’t go over well with Haleigh at all. She’s doesn’t appreciate being grilled or called out about her vote in front of people and Kaitlin is basically insisting she knows Haleigh was the one that flipped there’s no way Angie did that. Tyler finally coasts into the room and the others quickly scatter when Kaitlin starts attacking Tyler. I was happy to see Tyler swat (figuratively) at the annoying little gnat telling her she can’t be putting him on the spot in a room full of people either. She rightfully interrogates Tyler. I mean he is doing all the things she’s worried about but Brett and Tyler tag team the Angie approached Brett story. Brett told Kaitlin that Tyler saw Angie approach him. Tyler confirms this and he takes it a step further saying why do you think I kept acting so worried!? There are definitely some small tells here but Kaitlin is so involved in herself and believing she is the BB police and the case of the rogue vote is her only one to solve at the moment I don’t think she catches things we may have. Listen this house is in chaos tonight! Bayleigh is heated! She hates this team of Girls! She tells Faysal that she’s sick and tired of being out of the loop every week and it’s Chris’ fault she’s stuck with these losers. I’m paraphrasing but that’s pretty close to what she said and absolutely what she meant. Faysal is mad he keeps getting kicked out of rooms. Angie is livid this self righteous entitled rich white kid got his way and not only stayed but comes for her game on her daughter’s bday of all days! Look I get she’s mad. She has every right to be mad. However this is a game! Every word. Every action. Every moment has consequences in this game and she’s already not on the winning side of things she has to real this in. JC and Sam are two people who really give her the affirmation and the kick in the pants she needs telling her that it’s one competition that doesn’t define her and that her kids are watching and she doesn’t want them to see her this upset. I appreciate the humanity here especially after BB19 where the running theme was to stomp on people when they were down. Scottie is prancing around like a crazy uncle. Angela and Rachel are pretty quiet but stand by their votes. Kaycee is literally flying under the radar during all of this scrambling. JC is JC. He’s either cheering someone up making them laugh or whispering in the corner planting seeds like it’s the first sunny day after the ground isn’t frozen. Haleigh and Faysal are certain they will be the targets. Bayleigh is ready to kick some a%$ and take names later. This is going to be a wonderful magical exciting night of feeds! Sam has decided she will sleep in the room and drink alcohol of they give it to her (she requested Whiskey) but she is not going to eat until her fellow HN can. Tyler pushes that she needs to enjoy her win and go ahead and eat but she is insisting she finish the HN run with those she’s been with on slop all week. This is seriously where some of these people should be very concerned with Sam’s Social game. She’s proven she’s a force to be reckoned with when she wants and is kind and sincere with everyone pretty equally. Sam has also announced she will not be holding 1-1’s when she gets her room. She goes so far to say when the HOH reveal happens everyone can come up and then she is just going to tell the people she plans to put on the block right there and then and that will be the end of it she’s locking her HOH door after that! The fan in me so wants to see this! I’m with Scottie at this point his mind is blown and he just keeps saying wow! That’s thug! She’s Thug! That’s a thug move! Imagine how glorious a moment like this would be on the feeds?! Sadly we are realists and we rarely get what we want so I won’t hold my breath. Besides I am hopeful that Tyler reels her in and explains why that isn’t a good idea or that production gives her the run down and she’s a rule follower so she wouldn’t dare discuss her nominations prior to tomorrow. Bay has said that she will use her power this week if she HAS to. Her Faysal Went round and round and he’s 100% certain Sam will put him up. If Tyler is as good as we hope he is he will talk to Sam and realize with the +1 life app in play this week strategically the smartest thing to do is target the people they think have the other apps (app since Tyler has the 2nd one but no one knows that). I mean I love Bayleigh but her power has to go. Tyler and Brett are totally convinced Bay won last week and drawing that out in a week where whoever walks out comes back is the best possible scenario. There you have it! I was elated to see that Brett and Tyler managed to keep Brett. While I felt a little bad for Winston who genuinely believed he was staying. That is until he stormed out of the house like a 2 year old and acted a fool in his exit interview. Don’t get me wrong I love the entertainment of it all but his logic is so absurd right down to his final moments. His rage is so ridiculous when you consider he said all week he wouldn’t campaign against Brett and his own alliance had to vote to keep one of them so why is he so dang salty it wasn’t him? He should be angry at himself for believing Foute was going to help save him when they haven’t controlled one vote yet this season. I will return with the overnight scoop and serve you a piping hot cup RealITea on how this rogue vote plays out and what Sam will actually do tomorrow for nominations. Until then channel your best self and keep insisting the spirit guides remove the negative air by sending Kaitlin out next week! If we all put that in the universe we can make it happen! She will be so proud of us.

This week had some unexpected highs and lows. Heading into tonight’s week 3 live eviction there are some key shifts to understand why Brett is more likely to stay than Winston. Even more important is to understand why Foute was actually in power and still can’t manage to send out their own target. Scottie headed into this HOH with a couple of goals. First he tells us that he knows he’s on the bottom of the Foute pecking order and his hope was throwing the vote onto Chris would allow him to pin it in someone else in Foute ultimately helping Scottie rise from the bottom of the totem. This was a terrible plan. Don’t forget it took minutes for Foute and Level 6 to deduce Scottie was the rogue vote. While we did see some positive moments in Scottie’s reign as HOH he lost more equity than he gained in the house. Level 6 still saw him as a potential ally until this week so he’s blown any chance to keep playing both sides when necessary. From what I saw all week the only thing Scottie gained was knowledge that Tyler is far more Level 6 side of the house than the middle of the house like he originally believed. Considering all of Foute had already come to this conclusion that wasn’t much of a gain. Becoming HOH after voting Chris out while wearing his T-shirt helped Scottie redirect attention. That was lucky for him because had he not I think it would have played out very differently. With his HOH he wanted to have conversations with each HG to set up his preconceived plan to nominate the bro’s. He tells people he wants to know 2 things. Who voted to send Steve home. Which he does eventually find out from Kaitlin it was her. The other question (more relevant) who are the biggest threats according to others. The RealiTea is Scottie didn’t give two cents about those details. He was using that as a cover to nominate the bro’s and push the narrative that players on both sides said the Bro’s needed to go. At the beginning of the week I saw Scottie doing a decent job of trying to create some paranoia in the bro’s. Scottie was also trying to create some rifts. Like Foute when the week began Scottie vastly underestimated his opponents. By the end of the week his perceptions do change and he does start to see some HG as greater threats than he began but his original goals failed miserably. Scottie’s problem was that the first few days he only saw the opposing team made up of Bro’s/Rachel/Angela/and perhaps Kaycee. Scottie saw Tyler and Kaycee to a lesser degree as free agents and shares way too much information with them. Also, to Scottie’s deficit is that he subscribes far too easily to some of the absurd assumptions people like Angela, JC, Faysal believe. By the time Scottie starts to wonder if Tyler is with the other side he’s already shown his hand. He’s so excited to now be one step above Kaitlin in the pecking order he misses some key details. Foute’s side now knows that Sam has a power. I know It’s shocking that they all didn’t already suspect that but again Kaitlin rats out Sam’s power. The bad news is Tyler, Kaycee, JC, and Sam saw that and were effective in making them all believe this week her power expires and therefore no one needs to worry about that power after this week. Once we hit the halfway point of week 3 his efforts became too shady to be effective. Most significantly was his attempt to start a war over Bro’s trying to strike a F3 deal. Scottie has shown he is a potential threat that many in the game were not aware of. Winning both the HOH and the Veto didn’t help. Those wins are a huge deficit to his game. Scottie will be really worried once Brett stays. Listen this early in the game you don’t want to win back to back comps like this. I understand what Scottie was thinking but as far as playing this game that’s not something you should ever find yourself doing until you get down to F8 or F6. Perceptions are everything in this game! Kaitlin and Scottie will be the two who come out the worst at the end of week 3. I saw Scottie easily making it to the halfway point on the game with a real chance to have staying power before his HOH now he’s gone from a 7 to a 3 this week in my rankings of HG games. Yes Level 6 will finally lose a player. Winston leaving isn’t perceived as a hard hit. Winston is terrible at this game. He is terrible at comps. He does nothing but spend time with Brett. Winston really truly should have been on the Foute team based on his terrible reads and ridiculous strategies. To Level 6’s credit the outsiders still haven’t realized that Level 6 is much larger than they want to believe. They can afford to lose Winston. Winston blowing up on Scottie did make it easier for people on his own side to choose to keep Brett over him but it wasn’t the main reason. Brett will be a shield, a bigger target than Rachel, JC, Kaycee, and right now even Tyler believe it or not. I think Brett will also be very thirsty for this next HOH and while he’s muscular he’s also smaller and that’s the body type that tends to win wall comps. Not the Faysal, Angie’s and Tyler’s of the game. I have zero doubt Tyler could but unless it’s him and a Angie I don’t see that happening. The one disadvantage heading into this type of endurance comp is HN’s like Kaycee, Angela, JC especially are tired and hungry. That really effects stamina. On the flip side JC knows he can eat if he gets HOH. Lol. Brett brings some competition strength in numbers where Winston would not. Brett also has Kaitlin’s venom leaking out of every orifice so that’s great for Tyler. Foute fears Brett. They still have the misguided notion that Brett is the brains behind Level 6 and he’s a master at manipulating people so they will target him before Tyler at this point. If a Foute member wins this next HOH I can certainly see them nominating Brett/Tyler or Brett/Angela now that the ladies of Foute think they have an all girls alliance. What they don’t know is if Sam’s power isn’t used this week, Brett or Tyler would come right back into the game. The plus for this scenario is Bay would not burn her power if a Foute wins HOH week 4. Bayleigh needs to really be hoping one of them does win for this aspect alone. Tonight’s Veto will be a Wall comp. We have confirmation of that and the comp can be viewed on the live feeds. I could see Bayleigh or Haleigh giving everyone else a run for the their money but I’m not sure Haleigh feels threatened enough to stay in if it’s a long night. Conversely JC has the best odds of winning a comp like this. Angela could do very well she has the upper body strength. I don’t know that JC will gun for it knowing Sam’s power is in play. Bayleigh’s greatest disadvantage is that all of Level 6 is pretty definite in their belief she got the 3rd power app. Players like Tyler and Kaycee are very conscious of having as many players in week 5 HOH as possible. It will be interesting to see if they try to prevent an L6 win because Rachel has been running around insisting they MUST win this next HOH. Tyler, Sam, JC, and Kaycee all know it automatically gets activated so I think they are savvy enough to not stress over winning it. Angela, Rachel, and Brett like Foute do not. If another level 6 were to win they will certainly be told at that point but again I think having one less competing week 5 would be a needless mistake. Bayleigh did of course tell Faysal she won the app. Brett asked Bayleigh directly and she denies it but he isn’t convinced. Brett knows that Jessica won last year after Cody went home so he’s certain she has it. So is Tyler. Knowing that what would be bad for Bayleigh is if she fears Faysal will be nom’d she’s said she will use her power. She’s said she wants to save her power for DE or once they make it to jury unless she suspected herself or Faysal were going to be nominated. Tyler, Brett, Rachel, and JC are all strong enough players and strategic enough to try and flush her power out. That could mean that Bay could potentially burn her power on a week that makes no difference because after the eviction of the player she would put on the block (if they could even pull off the votes) that player comes right back in! Imagine Bayleigh hijacks the nominations with her power. The possibility of finally evening the numbers in the house is within reach and Sam’s power is revealed eviction night and that target comes right back into the game! Now Bayleigh has no more power app. Tyler would then be the only one left with a power. I mean with 3 powers in play Foute is in for a 3rd week in a row blindside vote where the person they were sure was going stays. Foute really wants to keep Winston for all the same reasons Level 6 doesn’t. Foute also wants him to become the BB20 resident pawn if he stayed this week. That’s terrible for players like Scottie, Faysal, and Tyler because no one views him as a threat and with Brett gone those three move up the ranks as strongest competitors. Imagine Winston coasting to the end because everyone thinks they can beat him. No thank you! Scottie earned some general respect from Foute because he showed he’s head to play. Problem is like Foute his perceptions are only 20% accurate. As a fan it’s good to see he isn’t counting on playing the innocent harmless nerd like Steve or Ian. That’s terrible for his game though. He was not on anyone’s radar prior to this week beyond Level 6 knowing he was Chris’ snitch. Now, his willingness to make big moves puts him under a microscope. Scottie also helps Kaitlin plunge down the longevity ladder in the game. Not that she really needs much help. Listen there is not one things anyone in this house has told Kaitlin that she has not immediately turned around and told someone else. It’s universally known by every player she is untrustworthy and in this game that’s enough to make you expendable. So when Scottie reveals the private pitch the bro’s made and confirms that they wanted her to go up she starts spiraling. Look, Foute already didn’t trust her after she sent Chris home. She had been clinging to Tyler which also left a salty taste in the members of Foute’s mouths (except Faysal). When she confronts Brett in front of everyone the incident was disappointing for LF’s who just appreciate messy excitement on the feeds. More to the point Kaitlin spends the week playing victim and exhaustively shoving her sense of self righteousness down everyone’s throats. When it came to the whole ‘Brett was rude to me and insulting my gifts’ people are sick of listening to her. This week nearly every single HG has a conversation daily about Kaitlin needs to go and she needs to go before jury. Kaitlin’s entire game revolves around betraying those she’s aligned with (Chris/Foute/Tyler). Add to that she’s emotionally unstable and sucks the life out of the house with her drama. On top of the fact she can’t keep one word to herself. This is BB. It’s week 4 after tonight’s eviction and Kaitlin has pretty much done everything you shouldn’t do in this game. Both sides see her as more of a liability than an asset. Yes, once Brett stays Foute will want to hold onto her this week but next week (#5) I see Kaitlin going out by possibly the first unanimous house vote of the season. Even Faysal won’t want to spend social capital to try saving her moody unpredictable self. Kaitlin went from middle of the road ranking to bottom of the pile this week and the only thing better than that to me as a LF is she has zero ‘hits’ showing her that. Kaitlin will go out pre-jury with a 98.9999% odd. I mean Tyler volunteered to be a HN just to have some peace from her! My biggest concern heading into this week is for Tyler. Kaitlin ended up being the train wreck we all saw coming for his game. Fortunately, what I see of Foute he has a pretty strong chance of making it to jury and I think at that point he will be most vulnerable during the second eviction. I’ve seen a lot of fans discussing why Tyler wants to show his hand to save Brett. He isn’t. Everyone at this point knows Tyler is with Level 6 at least from a voting stand point. From Tyler and L6 point of view Scottie and Foute think Brett is pulling the strings even if Tyler is better than they realized. If Brett were to go attention turns to Tyler. However this whole idea he has about telling Foute and Kaitlin he is voting with them against Brett seems like a pointless lie. Tyler keeps saying he plans to pin the two votes (expecting 7-4) onto girls in Foute like Kaitlin and another. He’s been saying all week he will vote how Kaitlin tells him to. I’m sure he has a goal in mind but from my perspective this isn’t his best strategic move. He could have easily said IDK then explain after the fact why Brett is better to keep. Everyone but Kaitlin could accept that. Why thinks he and JC can pin 2 votes on Foute is a mystery to me? Even if he could do it (don’t think he can) what is there to gain? I don’t see his risk v. reward here but we will see. Once eviction happens and HOH plays out there’s no telling where attention turns to. Before we head into eviction there is only one other bite to leave you to nibble on. Angie and Haleigh have talked since week 2 about branching out and making an all girls alliance. With the 3rd guy leaving the house this week it would be stupid of the ladies not to looks around and consider they could unite against the remaining guys. Unfortunately it’s Angie who takes the lead. Her approach reminds me of a guy in a nightclub at last call desperately stalking any woman unattached trying to find one that is DTF. It’s not a good look. She talks to Bay about it and they agreed Rachel and Kaycee would be good to pull into this. Rachel then inquired if they’ve approached Angela? This was smart on Rachel’s behalf. I know if I were Haleigh and she didn’t ask about Angela (knowing how close they are) I would be suspicious. However by the end of the week Sam’s been told they have an all girls alliance. Angela is awkwardly invited into the fold, Kaitlin is begrudgingly a walk on. Bayleigh especially should have vetted who to try and work with in this scenario. She’s really the only one on Foute with any sense and she’s still about 1/2 wk behind in her knowledge of the players in the game. I mean what in the last 3 weeks would make Angie/Haleigh believe all the women in the house would abandon their team (which is dominant) to join Angie who talks way too much, Haleigh who snuggles up to whoever is in power, and Bayleigh who they finally had their first conversations with since they entered the house? It’s so absurd. Listen this is not a thing. Kaycee and Rachel agree to lead them to believe it is for now in case they win HOH next or at the very least to infiltrate secrets from the enemy. Angela only agrees because Rachel tells her to play along. Kaycee goes right to Tyler and tells him. Not that she needed to because Brett and Faysal are already aware. This secret girls alliance is anything but a secret. What I did find valuable in all the craziness this week is Kaycee and Tyler are definitely a F2. She brings him info and most of the time he shares just as much with her. Kaycee is the most underestimated player in the game at this point. While Tyler being exposed by Kaitlin dropped him slightly in my rankings from an 8 to a 7, Kaycee remains the highest for me. She’s got everything she needs to succeed. No one sees her. She’s very strategic as we see in her convos with Tyler and JC. She’s incredibly adaptive in her social game, and physical she’s hiding her abilities. As of now I don’t see a scenario where she doesn’t make to final 6 whether Tyler does or not. They are a great Duo, and T/JC/KC make an incredible trio but she’s managed to develop her own game where it’s not reliant on Tyler. That’s the player I love to watch morph into a credible threat to win the game! This week could be an opportunity for some real strategic placement of players in the house by the right kind of mindful game play. Line them up to take them out or use them to make moves you need to eliminate others just one or two steps ahead of them. JC and Tyler are definitely more visible but all they need to do is create a distraction moving the target from them to someone else and they will outlast Kaitlin, Angie, Scottie, Brett, and maybe even Rachel. Either way tonight should be filled with twists and turns and I’m always here for comps having live on the feeds. You can watch the HOH endurance Comp live post live show EST. I’m really curious to see how Level 6 plays this one if Sam doesn’t use her power (which is unlikely she would). I’m always here to see Foute’s shock when once again things don’t go as planned. I will be back tomorrow with all the night’s RealiTea including eviction results, HOH results, and the length of Kaitlin’s emotional meltdown once Brett stays.

Sunday shaped up to be exactly the opposite of what it normally is. People have been wheeling and dealing all over the house to secure the ‘bro’ they prefer to stay and as the day progresses the wheels just fall off! JC finds himself in hot water. Kaitlin throws herself a not so surprise party. Bayleigh gets a peak into the actual game not her obstructed view of it. Brett becomes the center of a tornado in the house! If all that wasn’t enough Sam has a complete meltdown and goes off half cocked after a trip to the DR to have a check in with the resident therapist. The morning starts off happily for me because Angie and Haleigh have a convo where they’ve clearly had enough of Kaitlin. You can watch the convo below where they are not buying any of Kaitlin’s b.s. and there is some animosity bubbling up to the surface which continues to widen the cracks in Foute. This seems to have a lot of weight thrown into why Kaitlin ultimately ‘calls a house meeting’. But first...Rachel/Bay also have a convo in the BY around 11am. This is one to watch because Bay is warning Rachel about the fact that Foute’s plan is to wipe out her group of four. It’s just one of many indicators that 1. Ladies are trying to pull together all female alliance. 2. Bay is sharing insider info that helps Rachel. Let’s dive into the meltdowns that begin happening when Sam decides she needs to have 1-1’s. Sam basically kicks Scottie out of the HOH to interrogate HG’s. Initially she starts with Brett and I’m suspecting at this point she’s just trying to determine if she should use her power this week. That goes LEFT very quickly. This becomes important after Monday morning. Instead we realize Sam is having a bit of a paranoid meltdown letting her lack of understanding drive her talking points. I have no idea where this originates from but Sam accuses Brett of trying to BD her and by the end she’s proclaiming she wants to work with him and have a 5 person alliance. Then she sends Brett to bring Angie/Haleigh up for their good old fashioned tongue lashing. Not too long after Faysal/Kaitlin interrupt. Listen this whole situation doesn’t have an effect on what’s happening at this point in the day, this will however plays a role in what happens with Kaitlin by Monday morning. Kaitlin seeing Sam in the HOH freaks her out believing some deal to BD her is in the works. Of course it isn’t but this is the most unstable girl in the house. It does seem, to the LF watching from the outside, that is Sam may be trying to figure out if she she use the power. Is Sam possibly saving Brett is he’s the Bro ultimately evicted? However it’s feeds gold just the humor of it all. Sam is so even keeled and kind to everyone so much so that seeing her go completely off the rails for a while is comical and entertaining at the very least. Eventually Sam talks to Tyler and by this time she comes back down to reality. The problem is now Kaitlin is paranoid and asks Tyler why Brett, Scottie, Sam all upstairs talking. Are they talking about targeting me?! Tyler tries to calm her down but as we all know he hasn’t been spending enough time with her and she goes into full spiral mode. A conversation begins with Bay/Kaitlin where they begin to question JC’s actions and what he’s saying to one isn’t what he says to another. This is beginning to spell trouble for JC. It’s this conversation that motivates Kaitlin to go all the way back to the Steve flip. 4:33 pm HOH Kaitlin’s tells Bay that she’s untouchable because Sam owes her. Oh yeah also tells her “she owes me because FYI I’m the vote” that flipped on Steve. If you STAN for Foute this is amazing. Bay knows Sam has a power. She could easily tell Scottie, Veto ceremony they decide to throw her up to flush out Sam’s power. Fortunately, Kaitlin spilled so much more after this that Bayleigh should leave very suspicious of Scottie. Kaitlin stresses she feels Tyler is more loyal to Kaitlin/Bayleigh than Rachel/Angela which isn’t true but by the end of the word vomit session Bayleigh is on information over load. Two key things I see by the end. Bayleigh now knows Scottie was the rogue vote against Chris. Kaitlin also inadvertently reveals that both Haleigh and Faysal knew about Kaitlin This is important because as I’ve said Bayleigh has been really investing time and energy into Scottie because he was so loyal to Chris. Now she’s going to be completely sketched out with Scottie. That’s really a key perception to have as the alliances all around the house are beginning to shift and people are beginning to try to select more long term groups moving forward. The next thing, more importantly, that Bayleigh appears to walk away with is she seems to maybe trust Tyler more? Yes, I said it. With all the rapid fire information coming at her from Kaitlin with everyone else Kaitlin’s perceptions of what’s been happening actually has the opposite effect I think many of us were on pins and needles waiting to see happen which is Kaitlin spilling to much tea about Tyler’s roles in recent events. We get confirmation of my suspicions about that result when Bay talks to Kaycee in a little while. There are many downfalls for Tyler on pulling Kaitlin into his fold. However, the one positive is Kaitlin really is clueless and interprets information based on her desires and she places a lot of blame onto Brett manipulating her, not Tyler. By the time it’s over it feels like Bayleigh sees Tyler as less of a threat than before this information download began. Bay then talks to Haleigh after she leaves Kaitlin. Not ideal at this point but as the night progresses it certainly could be if Bay played this correctly. After questioning why Haleigh didn’t tell her that she knew these things you can see where Bay is now even more skeptical of Haleigh/Angie as well she should be. If you STAN for Bay this should be celebrated. Bay needs to cut Angie loose. She also needs to really distance herself from Haleigh because Haleigh is all about Haleigh. Kaitlin goes to Tyler after this convo and spills that Bayleigh told her that Brett said JC was trying to get Kaitlin out. Tyler tries to smother the flames saying he doesn’t believe that. Brett could have made that up. Again emphasizing she’s trusting Foute people too much. They are not looking out for Kaitlin. I like that he focuses on incentives here. However as we all continue watching Kaitlin is spiraling all day. Bay talks to Kaycee and initially I’m feeling like all these convos have been strictly to gauge people, collect some intel to help her use her power the best way and identifying which HG are her biggest threats. As this convo happens I begin to feel like Bay finally is seeing how insane the people in her group are and is looking for the best avenue she should take at this point. When Bay approaches Kaycee to have a chat this seems like a more genuine strategy session where Bay see’s Kaycee as someone she can work with. Bay reveals to Kaycee she’s concerned about Kaitlin/Tyler/JC after asking Kaycee who she is looking at and Kaycee says she’s concerned about Faysal (he may target Kaycee) and Kaitlin. What’s interesting is then Bay says she’s feeling a little better about TYLER. Bayleigh seems to see Kaycee as neutral and a potential ally because of that. She pitches that maybe they should be working together because with Chris gone, she doesn’t really have anyone now. Kaycee seems receptive to Bayleigh’s suggestions that they should work together. I’m happy to see all these people creating enough drama that Tyler is slowly moving down the ladder and he needs this. This week was looking like a runaway train for him but now, in part thanks to Kaitlin’s insanity, so many other people are being thrown under the bus he looks less and less threatening. Now look he’s not off the radar. But where he was easily moving towards be the next big fish to fry there are sharks emerging in the BB waters and they’re not named Tyler. Kaitlin gets more and more confrontational as the day ticks on.Ironically she sits there with Bay telling that “Kaitlin wants to say ....but ‘game Kaitlin’ needs to stay quiet.” Listen right here Kaitlin’s future self needs to take advice from her past self around 10 pm later tonight. Just sayin’! Kaitlin now runs around insisting that Scottie is going to put her up. She now goes to Bayleigh and then to Angie like what’s happening? Scottie is going to put me up. He told me if the veto is used he’s putting me OTB. This begins a giant game of telephone game. This is the key moment that sets up the rest of the day. The others go to Scottie and ask what’s going on? Did you tell Kaitlin you were using the veto and putting her up. Scottie of course is as surprised as the rest of us and denies saying that. Kaitlin eventually goes off half cocked on Scottie. She confronts him and when he drives home that he didn’t say that we see again that Kaitlin’s mind’s eye need some Lasik surgery stat! She ultimately says to Scottie that he doesn’t have to say he’s gonna throw her up there for him to make it clear to her that’s what he’s planning. Tyler again tries to reel her in but he’s unsuccessful. From this point Scottie pulls the rest of Foute (minus Bay) to the HOH to explain to them that he never said that he was throwing Kaitlin OTB. This is where Scottie has been a LF’s dream because they want to see some hard and fast moves to shake up the house. Scottie is playing like he has way more social capital than he does. People see exactly what he’s doing. They are making mental notes and riding his HOH but he’s tried to do too much and gets bloody as hell! Eventually Foute tells Scottie he must tell Kaitlin about the deal the bro’s proposed. In Scottie’s version not only did they make this absurd F3 pitch to him but they suggest Kaitlin be BD’d. Scottie really drives this home with some umph! Now she’s shook! She says she should confront Brett right now. She’s been trying to save him all day! He’s lying to her face. Scottie and Angie are now gas lighting Kaitlin and encouraging her to call a house meeting or go call out Brett. Look you know you are a complete idiot (Kaitlin) if Faysal is the one telling you not to blow up because it’s bad for your game because Faysal is horrible at BB. Angie, Haleigh, and Scottie have an agenda here and it’s not in Kaitlin’s best interest. If you ever decide to play Big Brother and people are encouraging you to call and house meeting or start a fight you should be 100% certain those people are not with you! Especially if those people are superfans! YOU NEVER call a house meeting! NEVER! Clearly Faysal sees not so much it’s bad for Kaitlin but it’s bad for him and his group but she ignores him because she is like an attention addict who is desperate for a fix! Fortunately the whole scenario falls flat because the kitchen crew doesn’t take the bait. I was actually shocked at how well the bro’s handled it but especially Winston! Calm cool and collected. You can watch how it begins and the ‘power’ move Kaitlin thinks she’s making here: This doesn’t have the effect that Scottie and Angie were looking for but it does start multiple arguments across the house. It left LF’s who are team Good feeds disappointed to because we love a ‘house meeting’ even though if you’re a HG you should never want one. Kaitlin is mad at everyone saying no one checked on her after. Which both Tyler and then Faysal follow her to the BU and are the ones taking to her about why she can’t do things like that. Because they aren’t seeing her as a ‘victim’ makes her go full spiral. Eventually JC joins the BY and reinforces this is a game and she can’t melt down every time someone lies. Angie eventually joins and after 15 min people are all surrounding a sobbing Kaitlin listening to all her victim noises. What’s interesting is Haleigh heads into the HN room with Rachel/Bro’s for quite some time. This not only angers Kaitlin but makes Faysal suspicious of Haleigh’s loyalty. Haleigh blows up on Faysal telling him NEVER to question her loyalty and storming off. Bayleigh and Haleigh agree they are not getting involved in any of that drama. They think Kaitlin is an idiot for taking the bait. While JC is already showing up more on radars around the house today it worsens when he gives Kaitlin tough love. Kaitlin unleashes on JC. Haleigh however is in fact in the HN siding with Bro’s and Rachel despite telling Faysal she was listening for the betterment of Foute. The other outcome in all of this drama is everyone is talking about Kaitlin. Much like the fan base does. She’s nuts. She’s a loose cannon. She’s UNTRUSTWORTHY was a common thread in all corners of the house. Now these were murmurs prior to her meltdowns yesterday but once she spills she was the vote to keep Sam and there are some incidents where Angie, Haleigh, Bayleigh catch her telling people things they told her or where Kaitlin didn’t tell them important details she was privy to it all takes on a life of its own. I share that perspective because no one wants to work with her and she’s still not seeing that because she’s so self involved. Listen all of this begins really unfolding around 4:30 pm and the fallout continues until about 3 am. Kaitlin does know she needs to work because prior to all the drama yesterday she had been campaigning for Brett to stay. Whereas JC was very much team vote Brett out. The votes were looking very even as usual. Team Foute plans to vote Brett out. Remember despite Scottie’s goal to cut down the numbers on the power voting block he doesn’t see he still is very likely not to have the votes send Brett out who they all believe is the brains. So Angie. Bayleigh, Haleigh, Faysal all will vote for Brett to leave. Level 6 however wants Brett to stay for a myriad of reasons. They would rather work with him. Keep Brett as a shield. So that’s a lock right now for Angela/Rachel/Kaycee/Tyler/Sam with 5 to keep Brett. After last night now JC went to Brett and tells him he appreciates that Brett didn’t throw JC’s name around in that argument and now he wants to keep him which gives them 6-5 if Kaitlin does in fact lean Foute’s way. The veto ceremony happened Monday afternoon and nominations don’t change. However, Kaitlin is still convinced that Sam/Brett were trying to get Scottie to BD her. She heads up to the HOH and confronts Scottie. I’m the process warns him not to do it because Kaitlin is untouchable. Sam has a power and if you send me out she will save me! This is so dumb! Kaitlin you’re freaking out because you think there’s a plan to BD you where Sam agrees to use the power to help that plan. On the other hand you threaten Scottie with Sam’s power! No sense at all. Sadly Kaitlin has now spilled the RealiTea that Sam has a power that Scottie should be worried about. Kaitlin then goes to Tyler and tells him how she just screwed everything up and he manages to keep his cool. I was worried when I saw this that maybe Scottie would try to flush it out by going ahead and nominating Kaitlin! Thankfully the meeting came and went with no change. We do see Scottie and Faysal sharing fears about Sam’s power. What if Brett stays? What if someone else goes? Faysal points out he heard it expires this week if she doesn’t use it then it’s void. Foute doesn’t have a clear understanding of the power. They are pieces but those lead them to fear it’s more powerful than it is and for Level 6 and Sam that’s not a bad thing. Faysal and Scottie decide they need to send Kaitlin in every time Sam talks to someone she needs to be the next to go right to that person and get in their ears. That’s a terrible idea! Kaitlin? Really! Then Faysal imply Scottie needs to threaten Sam not to use the power. Also not a good idea. Finally Scottie says he will lean on Sam and kinda threaten her but waiting until Thursday to do it. Wow! Right? I mean 99% of this happened in a less than 12 hour time period Sunday. We are seeing it overflow into today. For now let me leave you with the current voting appears to be sending Winston out. Sam is very unlikely to waste her power on Winston. You could argue using it and not using it being good or bad equally. If the vote is changing you can find out here where we can sip all of the RealiTea together.

Last we were here, I left you with Scottie winning HOH in week 3 and nominating The bro’s being the likely plan. Friday despite lots of efforts to redirect the targets by JC, Scottie did in fact nominate the bro’s! More interesting to me than that is the fact that Chris’ exit alone has allowed players all over the house to begin socializing with everyone and building some new social capital that’s critical in this game! Winston following nominations on Friday ends up along his mind and unleashing his irrational fury onto Scottie. I’ve realized I could never describe this well enough to convey the actual event so below you can watch Winston make the dumbest move possible for himself and the bro’s. Let’s keep this moving at a reasonable speed because I have 2 days of feeds to brew and serve. Veto drawing Saturday morning. Veto players are: HOH-Scottie Nominees-Winston/Brett Rachel Angie Tyler Tyler has NO intention of winning but if they can throw it to the Bro’s that would be ideal. At one point Scottie tells Kaycee that Rachel better not use it if she were to win because if anyone changes his nom’s he’s throwing their BF up. This spreads through the house pretty quickly and since it aligns with Level 6 plan for neither Rachel/Tyler to go after veto they let that rumor stick. Veto went down early this afternoon. Comp involved spinning (like the dizzy bowling comp) but sounds like cups/blocks (stacking perhaps) were involved. As a superfan Scottie and Tyler both had to be geeked out. They’re playing a comp that repeats yeah after year. Not quite OTEV but the comps have really been more inventive and to this point a few new ones they could never prepare for based on their extensive BB knowledge. That’s cool for them. Oh and who won? Scottie did! Winston and Brett aren’t deflated or pissed immediately when feeds return. However it doesn’t take long for Winston to go full crazy eyes. They strategize (being generous here for times sake) early this evening in the storage room. Winston wants to threaten him without being ‘threatening’ like last night. Brett wants to go right up and talk to Scottie. Winston says he needs to cool off first. Brett heads upstairs and the saddest most hilarious moment with Winston ensues. Winston is sitting alone in the geometry room assuming Brett would follow. Brett however is already up the stairs ready to talk to Scottie 1–1. Winston sits there continuously calling for Brett. Brett. Hey Brett. BRett. I need to talk to Brett. BRETT! Hey Brett! I need Brett! Where’s Brett, I need to talk to Brett”! It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. Also terrible for Winston. This only reassures Foutte that Winston is lost without Brett and Brett is the mastermind, I mean look Winston is paralyzed without him! The Bro’s still want to push the narrative that he could BD someone else who is a threat to Scottie and avoid having 3 people mad at him (Brett/WinstonRachel). This of course will never work. All of their conversations do strictly revolve around the foursome (W/B/A/R), which is interesting to note and great for Tyler and Kaycee actually! Lol. Late night last night they take a mildly different although equally as horrible approach. They corner Scottie in the HOH once the BY reopens to deliver their genius master plan. Take one of them off the block and send Kaitlin home. This would appease both sides? I will get to this eventually. But first.... Tyler/Kaitlin upstairs loft discussing what the voting looks like. Brett is definitely looking like prime meat ready to be BBQ’d. Tyler tells Kaitlin he has an equal relationship with both so he just wants to vote with the house. Kaitlin boo hoo’s over not being able to vote against him but agrees it may be the only shot they have. 8:55 pm Saturday They can hear Scottie and his haram in the HOH room. Tyler tells her to go socialize. She’s immediately annoyingly reactive saying, “I don’t want to socialize. I just WANT TO BE WITH YOU! Why don’t YOU UNDERSTAND THAT! (Me gagging). Scottie is in the HOH bed. Faysal is there but he looks more like Scottie’s bodyguard because there are most of the female players (no Sam, Kaitlin, or ) are lying I almost a perfect circle around him in the HOH bed. They are having fun with rapid fire questions that rapidly progresses from PG 13- NC17. I am unsure if Scottie see this as more of a blessing than a curse. He definitely never seems comfortable with all the ladies. But they are showing him with their undivided attention before the BY reopens. JC and Tyler have discussed the fact that Kaitlin stalking Tyler all day every day is horrible and Kaitlin has to go soon. We see JC and Tyler having a myriad of quick and dirty strategy chats the last few days. Last night they were talking in HN room and had just discussed Kaitlin needing to go and Kaitlin of course walks in. Ty and JC pick up there convo a little later in the SR. JC is constantly telling Tyler that he needs to get away from her as soon as possible. She’s terrible for his game. Tyler exhaustively says I KNOW! Basically explaining he’s 100% on board with Kaitlin going out soon but for now he needs to keep her misted and then she can go out and he doesn’t care! Today is Rachel’s bday so there was some celebratory activities happening last night. She was an annoying OTT crazy person but it eventually stirs up a bit of drama. At one point Rachel is using the intercom in the HOH to solicit Tyler to come give her a bday kiss. It’s all in good fun and everyone is being playful around the house after working together to create a surprise cookie bday cake for Rachel. Tyler eventually runs up to the HOH where she is (alone) and dramatically grabs her kissing her cheek. Yep! I know what you’re thinking! You are thinking what every LF’s across BB nation was thinking. Where’s Kaitlin? This is gonna send her spiraling! It does of course but in a way that has her running around demanding people tell her 3 things about herself. Needy. Messy. Jealous. Insecure little Kaitlin rummaging for affirmation. She does make it clear she didn’t know how jealous Tyler kissing Rachel would make her. Put a pin in that! This will come up again as time passes. This is Kaitlin after alI! She’s a leech Tyler cannot burn off his jock. Let’s get back to Brett leaving (assuming Sam doesn’t use her power). Terrible move for Tyler’s game and Faysal’s game as well. Both move up in the ranks as next biggest targets. That’s an angle Tyler should be discussing with Faysal on the low. Also Foutte perceives Brett as the puppeteer master mind which is the perfect shield for Tyler. Faysal is not who I would want to tell about a secret power. This kid can’t lie. He’s got loose lips and if Tyler or anyone is smart enough to regularly invest time into drawing him in he will likely spill the RealiTea that Bayleigh has a power that will change the game! As of Sunday morning, Scottie’s side wants Brett gone and keep Winston as the season’s pawn. He volatile and has zero strategic game so he’s the lesser threat. Plus they keep insisting Winston can’t win comps. That’s Faysal, Bay, Haleigh, Angie and they still kinda believe Kaitlin would vote with them. I’m not so sure so that’s only 4 votes. Level 6 side however understands keeping Brett over Winston is the more beneficial play. They know to some degree that Brett is the bigger threat to Foutte, although I hope at some point Tyler gets the low down on his oppositions misconceptions about Brett being the ‘mastermind’. That would help him understand he needs Brett to stay a little longer 1-2 more evictions until Faysal and Angie go out. Otherwise people will being looking his direction more and more. The only other informative event that I saw was Angie Haleigh Scottie’s convo HOH 7:55pm Friday. Angie ponders why ‘they’ never talk to her? Is it because I’m so different? Haleigh says yes because you’re so different from them and I think they’re scared of you because you’re so abrasive Ding! Ding! Ding! You are not approachable to them at all Angie. It’s a two way street you have nothing in common with them so you are abrasive like ‘you don’t need to talk to me!” air about you. You also spend a great deal of time talking crap about people. Unlike them. Haleigh’s analyzing various people. Relatively accurately for Winston. She points out she thinks he lives a very isolated life and doesn’t know how to socialize. Work, home, dog , sleep. Says she’s not surprised he’s single. He’s very self centered and doesn’t interact with you unless he needs something. Haleigh is a front runner to make it further in the game down the line. She needs to stay out of drama and scenarios where her abilities are exposed but as it is now I could easily see her make F8 if not F6 depending which players make it to eight with her. Haleigh goes on to say she thinks Rachel is up there more and talking more because she knows the ‘ship is sinking’ and she’s looking around like I better get off this ship’ I’m like WTH? Then I immediately remembered they are only seeing the foursome: Bros/Angela/Rachel so that I can overlook but really you get one HOH that looks like it’s finally going the way you want and the 8 person voting block is sinking because one person may go home? These people! I swear. Rachel and Angela talk in the hammock last night about 11:30 pm. They discuss that they are people in their Level 6 alliance (JC/Tyler) working outside the alliance. They realize this means they leave the foursome to take all the heat for L6. Good for you girls. I’m glad they are woke enough to see that is what’s happening. What they will do with that knowledge, if anything, is anyone’s guess. 12:35 pm hammock Glen Close/Bay/Angie Discussing girls sticking together want to get Haleigh so Glen Close (Kaitlin) leaves to use BA and grab Haleigh and a tissue for Bay who is doing the annoying thing with her nose. Later the three decide ‘Team This’ is perfect name for this new alliance because there’s 4 of them? Gone are the days of legendary team names. Last year we couldn’t get anyone to name an alliance thanks in most part to Paul. This year two are in the BA, fart and name their fart duo! I swear. As soon as Kaitlin leaves Bay tries to change subject to Sam saying she needs to go soon. Angie asks Kaitlin? Bay’s like no jeez. Come on. Lol. Remember Bay knows Sam has a power. She has no idea right now that Sam’s has an expiration next week. The bad news is Kaycee tells Angela that it expires next week. Angela was not aware of that. Angela and Bay have been hanging out A LOT. Angela doesn’t know Bay has the latest power and if she casually mentions Sam’s power has a deadline this is a HUGE advantage for Bayleigh to preserve her power. Then Bay says we can’t forget Tyler. Angie says are we just not talking about it with Kaitlin? Angie says she’s not forgetting about Tyler. They discuss putting K/T up then Angie says so he can just win veto and pull himself down? Bay’s in agreement saying he needs to be a BD. Since Chris has left and power has shifted there is a ton of crossover talking happening in the house. It’s great because we actually see and hear players like Kaycee/Angela come out from the shadows more and more. I heard more from Angela the last 3 days than last 3 weeks combined. I love finally getting to hear more from Kaycee as far as game goes. She actively social across the house. This weekend we see her and Tyler meeting. They confirm their F2 we heard about prior to feeds. This is in fact a F2. They are both smart and have a good sense of the house and the game. Kaycee’s engaging more in the groups and both Kaycee/JC and Kaycee and Tyler have had game strategy talks. Kaycee and Tyler joked they’re in an alliance playing complete opposite games. I am here for a Tyler/JC/Kaycee F3. I wouldn’t be mad at that. Much better than a Winston/Brett/Scottie F3 that’s for damn sure! Definitely better than a Brett/Angela/Rachel or a Angie/Faysal/Haleigh F3. I like Haleigh but the other two are HORRIBLE at this game. I do not want to watch and listen to them all summer with their ridiculous hypothesis and complete lack of strategic minds. Even common sense for that matter. At least that’s how I feel this week after all we’ve seen. I like Bay. She’s smart and she observes a lot more than she speaks. She’s been socializing a lot throughout the house now that she’s free of the ball and chain. She’s spent a lot of time with Angela. She’s STANing hard for an all girl’s alliance and keeping Faysal closest at the same time. We all know Chris ordered Faysal to look out for Bay and for now she’s taking advantage of that. We know because she told Faysal about her power. We watch Bay make various visits with Scottie. As I listen to them talk I think she’s underestimated him a bit. She’s digging for information to get a better read on Scottie but he doesn’t give her much. She has to keep switching up her questioning. She’s definitely fishing and from what I see and hear Scottie is aware and hesitant to give much of anything specific. Scottie doesn’t know about Tyler’s power or Bay’s power but as a Superfan he’s very aware there are unknown powers. Not to say I don’t think Scottie doesn’t like Bay. He does and he’s definitely all in on the Foutte side at this point. He’s also showing the entire house that he is a person people need to watch. That’s where I see Scottie making some mistakes here winning this HOH. He’s putting the battle between ‘teams’ before his own individual game. The BY opens last night some time after 10 pm. BY is open the Bros take the opportunity to speak to Scottie alone in the HOH. Winston is doing most of the talking when I pop in. Essentially they are proposing that this is a change for them 3 To work in secret. Since Winston blew up on him they can play out the rift. Scottie could send Kaitlin home appeasing both sides of the house so he’s straight with everyone. This goes on for a bit. Winston is doing a decent job with Bret interjecting briefly on occasion. Then Winston goes just a step too far in both my eyes and Bret’s. He goes on to say that Winston can use Scottie for a pawn every week (playing up the rift) to get a real target out. WHAT? Brett’s body language makes a quick shift and he attempts to cut that path off. Brett says let’s wrap this up we’re trying to keep this secret. Again trying to prevent Winston from continuing to talk about the whole weekly pawn thing (this time inferring Winston can be Scottie’s pawn and vice versa. When Brett does this Winston says, “Calm down they’re in the BY”. Sigh. Really dude? When Scottie does finally talk he says he has some reservations. Not least of all in a F3 scenario they propose he knows “you 2 are always taking each other.” Winston interrupts. I mean he can’t even sit back for a second and listen. He counters immediately with some insane explanation about F3 HOH it’s a completely different competition scenario where Scottie will smoke them and choose who he wants to take. Then tries to say it doesn’t matter. Once you get to F3 it’s every man’s game. WHAT? Wow! This guy is awful even when he’s trying really hard to be good. Who willingly wants to face off F3 with 2 people who would take each other? Brett again tries to redirect the convo. Says o don’t want to patronize you. Just think about it. We need to get out of here before anyone comes inside and we ruin the element of secrecy. And Winston again says no! I want to hear his thoughts. Everyone is outside. No one is coming in yet. And keep talking! I’m wanting to slap some damn industrial duct tape on his mouth at this point. Brett, I admire you not wanting to campaign against your bro but bruh...its time to save yourself! Tap out! Plead for votes and let Winston go home! That’s actually the best outcome for all involved! To save us from summer of pawn Winston. Scottie finally speaks again and says as far as being ‘blood free’ this week. I mean your guys’ names came up a lot this week. From both sides of the house. I mean when I talk to people your names came from people on both sides of the house. (Not true he is totally lying and planting a paranoia seed here). I hear BB fandom all collectively saying they are shocked by Scottie! Me too! I was confident he gets the game and he’s played the fly on the wall strategy up to now. I think winning this for the team was a mistake but he’s showing us he has some chops! Let’s not forget Steve! Steve won those well times HOH’s to take out a big target and then falls back into the background so it’s possible. I think his chances were better had he landed on the other side following Chris’ eviction vote that rocked the fan base. Picking off Angie and Faysal, as well S Kaitlin leaves the Level 6 players to take aim at each other while he hides in the corners. Scottie would be well aligned heading to the end with an Angela/Winston/Kaycee F4. Or a JC/Scottie F2. Scottie and Tyler are both showing themselves as triple threats. They have all three ingredients to a perfectly balanced game in many respects. Tyler should have considered just coming clean to some things with Scottie and could have easily misted Scottie and I see that as a missed opportunity. For those who are against Level 6 this season the Scottie HOH and Foutte boost in confidence has given them a week of feeds that’s their dream come true. This is where I am unlike Scottie. I am here for the player(s) not the teams. I hate the teams and I loathe that year after year recently the fans laser focus on the teams and create just as much drama, animosity, and exclusive behavior as the HG more often than not. Maybe if they liked who they liked and not choosing sides the narrative of the game outside the house would be much less exhausting. Well, there you have it! Lots of cross contamination happening. Tyler has been much more laid back this week than I think he should be. Bayleigh has finally entered the game! Scottie is shocking all of us and the Bro’s are OTB with virtually no chance of Scottie changing nominations since he won the power. And yes Kaitlin is still crazy stalker chick. That’s all the RealiTea for today! Unless something very unexpectedly exciting happens I will be back tomorrow after we see the fallout from the veto ceremony.

Week 3 of BB20 has started off with a bang! Scottie voting to evict Chris while wearing a Swaggy t-shirt has rocked the BB nation! All in all it’s perfect timing for Scottie to win the week 3 HOH because those who accurately suspect him can’t touch him if they were so inclined. He’s actually able to use it to his advantage more than anything. Feeds returned quickly post live show and as I said last night people were in all Corners discussing potential nominations from the “evil genius” that Angie has now dubbed him. It’s key to realize for now it’s good for his game that Level 6 side of the house believe he’s the rogue vote because that means he leaned their way and creates a false sense of security heading into HOH 1-1’s that begin just after midnight of you care to FB. What’s most important to note is how horrifically Foutte responds to Chris having one less vote than they all expected. Faysal is fuming and certain it was Haleigh. She denies it then turns it around on him saying she’s annoyed he doesn’t believe her. This goes round and round for about 90 min. Eventually Kaitlin joins the convo and flat out asks Haleigh who she voted to evict. Haleigh asserts that she voted to evict Winston throwing a sympathy vote to Chris. Now Kaitlin is annoyed because Haleigh told Kaitlin she would vote for Chris to go. All while this is going on Angie has her finger on the pulse of what really happened. Angie tells Haleigh that Scottie wore that t-shirt and then went in there with it on voting to evict Chris! This prompts her to refer to him as an “evil genius” to damn near anybody that will listen. Eventually she runs to Kaitlin reveals Scottie is an evil genius and that she just found out something about Tyler from Bay. Angie is clinging to Chris having told Bay that he had an alliance called the COR with himself, Scottie, and Tyler they made day 3. Angie is so hyped with her brilliant assessments and is giddy for the evening pretty much. First of all, Angie why are you still talking to Kaitlin and asking her to promise not to tell Tyler and believing her? Kaitlin is NOT loyal to you over Tyler. She’s proven it over and over. It’s parallel with Chris always talking to Tyler! Stop that! As we all know Kaitlin did run this right back to Tyler. Only giving him more motive to target her. I’m sorry but I need Angie to take a seat this week or she’s never going to make it to jury. This week is where Tyler could have enough threats of exposure that he will have to earn his stripes! He’s been amazing without any real resistance. Now that he is likely to feel his back against the wall how will he manage to stay off the block until Monday post veto meeting? The greatest players in this game that have so much control around the house and survive the first half of the game are the ones that can step up and still maintain the events or direction when their feet are over the fire. I’m anxious to see how he potentially performs under pressure. If Tyler does manage to extinguish wild fires in his game along then we really do have to credit him with greater admiration for his abilities. If not he ends up being a target. The only advantage here is Sam has her power and this is the last week before it’s forced to be used on next week’s evictee who may not be someone they want to return to the game. Tyler also has his power in play so we shouldn’t have to worry about him remaining this week but his chances of longevity in the game decreases significantly. This is the time in the game that the player who’s had the most control typically gets got. My greatest concern is none of these apps so far have been too powerful. This in my mind, based on productions habits, leaves me worrying one of the remaining apps still to be chosen could be a co-HOH, name a third nominee, something that actually can change the trajectory of the game. If something that significant is released today and the person who wins it actually uses it this week could get crazy really quickly. For now based on last night Tyler hasn’t been exposed. Angie is still a Tyler hater but the efforts to redirect her main focus into the bro’s may have been too effective. In fact by the end of the 1-1’s Scottie is CERTAIN he knows which player has been calling the shots. One by one HG make their way upstairs. Everything is pretty hum drum as far as 1-1’s for a while. Scottie has told Tyler he intends to reduce the numbers on ‘the other side’ of the house and hints that the bro’s are his targets. You can watch Tyler with Scottie at 2:30 am after the 1-1’s are over attempting to still push for Angie. Scottie is adamant that Angie will not see the block. He’s also unwavering in his plan to Target Tyler’s side of the house. Scottie doesn’t waiver on this all night regardless of what he hears. All of the non-Foutte players push Angie as a threat in varying ways and she’s their suggestion for a target. Scottie wants to know who flipped on Steve. He wants to break up that 8 strong voting block and blow some sh*t up! I’m not surprised at all. It’s been difficult these last few days to nail down where Scottie lands post Chris eviction and he’s clearly drawing a line in the sand between Foute and the alliance he sees on the other side of the house. What’s interesting is neither Tyler or JC are included in his perceptions. That’s not so good for Scottie’s game but amazing for Tyler’s since he and Scottie have the COR alliance in Scottie’s mind. Look there were 12 different 1-1’s most resulting in nothing shocking or implicitly valuable. I will focus on the few that did have a wow factor and contribute to where the nominations are likely to land today. Here’s where my mind started spinning last night. We saw Kaitlin and Tyler talking prior to HOH reveal. Kaitlin later volunteered to be a replacement nom after debate with Tyler. Prior to this Kaitlin told Tyler she expects to be a nom. She nom’d Scottie so it makes sense. Tyler’s like no. She’s pushing that it’s a valid reason for me to be nom. Tyler still pushes they don’t want her on the block. If it does they have the votes but we don’t want that. He tries to propose Angie needs to go. In her 1-1 Kaitlin volunteered to be a replacement nominee, if Scottie needs to use her. Now, from watching Kaitlin I almost feel like she did it so Tyler will have to rescue her and she retains his attention. Let my knight rescue me. I swear to you she has this narrative in her head that she was an easy choice anyways and this way if she purposefully goes up she’s guaranteed Tyler will gallantly ride in and rescue her from the tallest tower. Whether Tyler plants the seed or not I’m reading how she thinks and considering you NEVER volunteer to go up and she consciously does? I absolutely think this is where Kaitlin’s Head is at. She’s done everything else under the moon to force him to pronounce his love for her and get physical. Despite being nauseating to ponder, Kaitlin sacrificing herself to Scottie can potentially work in Tyler’s favor. If nom’s can’t be altered by Tyler veto could be potentially used to persuade a replacement nominee pushing Tyler to sacrifice Kaitlin, or Sam (because she has the power she’s safe). So Kaitlin voluntarily sacrificing herself to Scottie sets up a worst case scenario for Tyler if he’s confident he wouldn’t be the BD target. Based on all of last nights 1-1 Tyler is not on Scottie’s radar as brains of level 6, which by the way Scottie whole heartedly believes is only 5. Scottie reveals he sees ‘the other side’ as Bros, Angela, Rachel, and Kaycee. Let’s not forget Scottie still believes the COR (Chris. Tyler, Scottie) is a real deal. He’s convinced after all the chats that Brett is the mastermind behind all the evictions and running them. When it really gets good is when Sam has her chat with the HOH. She does her normal you do what’s best for your game yada yada. Eventually she admits to voting Chris out because she owed the people who saved her the week before. This is EXACTLY the information Scottie was searching for. Winston was up there and Sam is certain he kept her. Now remember last blog I mentioned the Bro’s told Scottie they voted for Steve to stay and pinned the rogue vote on Angie? Scottie was already suspicious that they lied to him so when Sam confirms his suspicions he now has all the rationale he thinks he needs to justify targeting them. They are liars! Shady boots! This was an unnecessary move by the bro’s but it could have worked to their favor if Sam hadn’t unknowingly exposed the ruse. Winston attempts to cover his tracks. Sam does let the boys know that the gig is up! Oops! Winston tries to explain they told Sam that for her vote this week. That was the actual lie, not what they told Scottie. Sam’s slip only furthers Scottie’s suspiciousness of Brett during their 1-1 because OMG he is a professional liar! Scottie knows the truth and Brett tries (very well) to be friendly with Scottie. Plays up the buddy routine and denies to his face that Bro’s weren’t votes against Steve! It doesn’t help that later in the night Angie shares she’s also convinced Brett is the mastermind and the bro’s are calling the shots. She accurately points out that Brett is a far greater threat than Winston is. Winston’s useless without Brett. I like that Scottie is taking aim at the other side. That’s not a horrible move for him and the game with last night’s vote being 8-4 (7-5 had Scottie not flipped). It may be better for his future game to actually keep picking off the remaining Foute and then just fade into the background when Level 6 takes shots at each other but...you can never really count on what next week will look like. I don’t believe at this point in the HOH Tyler can or should keep pushing for Angie. Back off. Plant some seeds. Let her walk into a web the next couple days and maybe try to change up nom’s with her after veto but pushing her is going no where right now. We also have new power app winner coming today and who knows what that does to the game? I would have thought Bayleigh or JC were a sure bet for the final power app. Now seeing the edit last night the casuals voting could easily have a major push for Kaitlin or even Scottie who just lost his 2nd ally in the game. If Foute fans split their votes between Bayleigh and Haleigh (favorites) there’s a higher likelihood someone else moves up to most trending. What Tyler could do, for his own benefit is push the males v females narrative. Emphasize to Scottie that hey the guys have been dropping like flies. Share that you know some of the girls are already talking about they have the majority vote and can pick off the guys one by one. He could push for Rachel/Angela over the Bros if he creates some paranoia in Scottie over those numbers. This is better for Tyler than the risk of having the Bro’s OTB. The bro’s gave far more valuable insights into Tyler’s game and could begin exposing him if they hit the block and freak out. Suggest the ladies and even hint post veto if there’s a need to target someone else there’s always that to fall back on. Enter Kaitlin. I haven’t seen him do this but from my point of view this is the best move without having to risk his own status in Scottie’s mind. With Tyler unable to puppet Scottie this early in the week he needs to be very careful how he handles things. Don’t worry though because JC and Tyler are strategizing. JC has been very effective at steering conversations on all sides of the house. This morning Scottie was still sounding pretty secure in his plans to nominate the bro’s. Feeds went down before noon. It’s likely they are all visiting the BB App Store for the last time. This typically has been happening earlier on Fridays which allows for some gaming before nominations begin later in the afternoon! Feeds just returned and we see Rachel comforting Haleigh and welcoming her to the crap app club! Wow America was not talking about Haleigh after last night’s episode. We also see JC talking with Scottie in the HN room. JC is explaining to Scottie that NO one is targeting him. He’s not on anyone’s mind so making a power move this week may not be in the best interest of his game. Pointing out that taking a swing at big player with a strong alliance leaves Scottie vulnerable and front and center next week when he can’t complete in the HOH. JC is doing an excellent job of executing this that portrays it as hey I’m your friend and I just want you to think about next week. That’s a great place to put a pin in this. Initially I was shocked Haleigh got the crap app, but once that wore off it makes sense. She was portrayed as a potential backstabber, she’s talking about Tyler with Angie, and she hasn’t done anything. This isn’t going to be a cookie cutter week. Bayleigh told Faysal she got the power app this week. She says she will wait and see what Scottie does this week and she will tell him more later. I would say this is a pretty definitive app winner. Bayleigh has the second most votes last week. She also is seen telling Faysal so doesn’t seem like a ploy or strategic move just saying she has it! Once we know more you will get that RealiTea right here! Even if Tyler does manage to set Angie up as a target it’s going to make for some excitement on the feeds. Both sides are kinda feeing safe pre-nominations so one side may be in for a big surprise compared to how they felt immediately following the live show. The RealiTea is there will be plenty to talk about as today progresses!

Well in case you missed all the glorious drama of this week’s eviction episode I have all the RealiTea right here! Tonight Winston and Chris were able to give their speeches and the insanity began there! Soggy C gets up starts rambling on about why everyone else isn’t here to play like him. He points out the HG wearing his signature T-shirts and refers to them as his ‘goons’ talking about he was running things. I won’t go into the whole ‘epic’ speech he planned because there wasn’t anything epic except how clueless he really was about the status of the game. What was exciting? The voting! We’ve been listening and watching all week Before feeds went down Haleigh had implied to Chris she was going to vote what’s best for her game. So as the voting happens and Haleigh has her turn and she votes for him to stay and the broadcast had made such a point of focusing on Sam’s power...we had to wonder? Scottie enters wearing the Soggy C T-shirt he suggested everyone voting for him to wear we are sure he’s going to say Winston when Julie asks for his vote to evict. Scottie looks at the camera wearing the T-shirt and says I’m nobody’s GOON! I vote to evict Chris. WHAT? Julie is even a little puzzled so she asks to confirm, you said Chris? Does that mean you are voting to evict Soggy? Scottie confirms yes, Chris! BOOM! Scottie, of all people makes the most SAVAGE move and fans everywhere are shocked! Chris is evicted by a vote of 8-4. On his way out he pushes Haleigh away refusing to hug her so imagine his surprise when Julie asks him who he thinks didn’t vote for him of the 5 votes he’s been certain all week he had? He says Haleigh. Julie says Haleigh voted for you to stay. His face was awestruck! He quickly says oh I didn’t hug her goodbye?! If you haven't watched Julie’s exit interview it is a must see! She trolls him over ‘running the house and calling all the shots’ when she plays back his preseason strategy. It’s AMAZING! Then she asks him what do you think happened? His answer only drives home how little he knew about what was happening still! Adding insult to injury Tyler takes a much more direct approach than Paul and tells him he’s been in Level 6 alliance this entire time. That he flipped Kaitlin to vote out Steve. Then he was responsible for flipping Kaitlin’s target to BD Chris. He owns his game! It’s glorious. But wait it can’t get any better? It gets better! After Tyler’s goodbye message Chris goes all in on a losing hand! He says Bayleigh and Angie are going to take him down! He’s in a showmance with someone who has a BF at home, and on and on! HE STILL DOESN’T get it! Most of us know Kaitlin is thirsty for Tyler we watch the FEEDS! Tyler wants NOTHING to do with her and her BF has already dumped her and pulled his release. Omg! I couldn't have asked for anything better! We have a new HOH by the end of the episode. It’s a question comp so not a random chance comp. The new HOH is...Scottie! It got down to Angie, Scottie, Faysal, and Rachel. Angie was eliminated next. Then Faysal in the next round. Rachel and Scottie eventually move to a tie breaker and Scottie wins! Let me just say there is no better outcome. Scottie is so unpredictable. He may want to avenge Steve. He voted against Chris but also makes it clear he’s playing his own game. The HG are just as unsure. When feeds returned small groups of 2-3 people are scattered in all corners of the house having the same conversation. “Who will he put up?” Followed by either I HAVE NO IDEA, or who the he’ll knows what HE will do?” That’s the shakeup we needed! There you have it! Week 2 was anything but boring. We’ve now had 2 weeks in a row with rogue votes that will have everyone on their toes. That’s already causing drama between Faysal and Haleigh. The one note I will make it Angie is on some radars and Scottie has said she and Haleigh are the only two he won’t put up. However, remember earlier this week the bro’s told Scottie that Angie was in fact the rogue vote that sent Steve home. Since they said it last week when he wasn’t in power this info will seem more reliable if the narrative is Angie is the squeeky wheel. Great luck for the bro’s. They put in time and effort with Scottie last week. But...I also heard him mention that at 8-4 is a clear indication that the other side needs to take a hit because ‘8’ is a significant voting power at this point. Check back tomorrow to get all the overnight RealiTea Bitez!

It’s finally here! Eviction day has arrived and that marks the end of the most annoying HOH in years! Thank goodness. I need decompression therapy at this point. As I think back on the last 2 weeks and the conversations happening all around the house. I see some points that may help understand why Chris is going home. As you know I surf what fans are talking about across numerous platforms. I will do my best to explain why this all came to be and why the cards have landed where they have. This at least gives me a 360 degree view of how others perceive what’s happening. I will give Chris full credit for his vigorous efforts this week. The last 3 days he has been more active and present in the game than we’ve seen him since the feeds went live. Getting into a showmance had the greatest role in his demise. He a BB historian with facts but that never translated into actions. He believed he was such a powerful player he didn’t need to do anything but sit back, let snitches and rats bring him intel and give marching orders to the troops. Since the feeds went live 85% of what we see of him is being laid up alone with Bayleigh. He took the Nicole approach. This is exactly why he thought he could tell Tyler that she’s expendable. Kaitlin’s at the bottom of the ranks, he doesn’t trust her and he’s the HBIC and his people do what he tells them to. That was his third mistake. Did he not watch Paulie BB18? When you aren’t socializing or present around the house with everyone throughout the day you miss a lot! It’s not about which players you like or dislike. Watching and observing people interacting gives a lot of valuable information. You learn how they roll. You see how they behave when they are lying and telling the truth. You see who talks to which HG’s how they interact with each other. In a social experiment like this how people behave and react is paramount to navigating this game. Chris relied on Scottie to bring him details and made his assessments mostly from what others told him. Tyler does the same except Tyler knows what to say to whom, which piece needs to be moved where because he pays attention to every detail! Trust me he’s not playing a perfect game, it’s week 3, he’s got some predators circling him but HE KNOWS where they are. The difference is Tyler cultivates those connections to people. Tyler spends time with them, Interacts, is not only present but an active observer. He then takes those connections to identify what each person needs to hear for them to be moved in a certain direction. I mean if you are watching feeds whether you like Level 6 or not you have to give him some major props so far. There’s a lot of game left though. He’s brilliant at it. People just want to tell him things because he seems genuinely invested in their well being and knows what to say and do to encourage them to see what he wants them to. It takes a lot of effort as we’ve all seen on the feeds. The Bros need to head something different than Scottie does. Scottie needs to hear something different than Haleigh or Kaitlin do. We ALL have likes and dislikes. We all have ‘tells’. This is one of the reasons I have been as successful as I have been in jobs that require dealing with lots of people. Chris thinks because he can compete and has Faysal he doesn’t need anything else. Look he wasn’t wrong about Kaitlin. He was wrong for sharing his thoughts with anyone but Bayleigh! He was wrong to trust Tyler. He was wrong to focus on how he feels about Kaitlin and NEVER considered how she’s feeling about him. So when he does get his game on and start hustling there is no where for him to turn except FOUTTE and that’s not enough. This is the only area where Winston is better off than Chris. He has Brett to go to. He can unleash all his wild thoughts and feelings on Brett who talks him down. Then he goes back out and keeps those things to himself most the time. There are plenty of players making the same mistakes to varying degrees. Angela, Winston, Angie, Faysal. All seclude themselves and have concrete perceptions they don’t see as blind spots. Faysal and Winston think they can ride with their bro’s (Chris/Brett) and that will keep them safe. Angie, Winston, and Angela are all guilty of not interacting with anyone but their small group or pair. You cannot last in this game if you have no idea what’s going on and have zero life lines in case of emergency. Not being visible hurts you with the players in the house as much as the audience outside. Chris was committed to staying visible this week. Having conversation after conversation with Sam, JC. Tyler, Kaitlin, even Rachel. He gave it a lot of effort but what he was saying was wrong 99% of the time. That’s not what that person needed to hear to be persuaded. Most of the time it was the same lines over and over, I’m a superfan. I didn’t get to play Veto. I want to stay to jury to be with Bayleigh. I will never target you. I’m loyal to people who do I what I want. I’m a bigger target. Winston can’t win anything I can and can protect you. And on and on and on with few exceptions. Then he relied on JC/Scottie to tell someone who was thinking what. Problem is JC has been with Tyler since day 2! Here’s another point I want people to consider. We’ve just adopted the narrative that this house is split down the middle. It’s level 6 v. Foutte. As I’ve watched and time has passed people need to stop limping Tyler in with Level 6. He is not with Level 6 in the sense this is a final 6 we are going all the way. Not at all. Tyler is playing for Tyler. He walked the middle last week. He saw a path this week to take out one of the biggest competitors in the game because Kaitlin love triangle and Chris’ inability to see past the end of his nose and took advantage of it. Does this move benefit Level 6? Yeah. But that’s a side effect. Tyler and JC are really the team here. They are layering themselves between Level 6 for possible safety (since the Bro’s and Angela have been all Foute talked about. But Tyler is playing for Tyler and that’s the best kind of player! These two work really well together. Each puts in constant work. Each lean in on weaknesses and potential segways into influencing outcomes. I would say JC is more level 6 than Tyler and he’s not even part of actual Level 6. Angie is playing for Angie. Haleigh is playing for Haleigh. Sam is playing for...ok well I’m not sure she actually intentionally ‘playing’ so to speak but she’s definitely focused on what’s best for her. Angie is my greatest disappointment this week. I thought I may have underestimated her preseason. Last week she showed us she’s a passive observer who has a pretty decent read in the house. She saves most of her game talk for Haleigh but she voices her thoughts diplomatically with Foutte. I was really starting to like her game. She saw some waves with Foutte coming and starts plotting with Haleigh on where to jump when they need to. Speculates about an all femal alliance with Kaycee, Haleigh, Bay and herself. She saw the problems ahead. This week between being hangry and blindsided she just went off script. She’s gone from off the radar to being one of the biggest targets in the game! Why? Because she’s can’t keep her emotions and frustrations in check or her mouth closed! I hated watching her game devolving but again she’s her own undoing. What really irks me is she is really mad at herself! Everything she’s whining and complaining about is something that happened but what happened was the EXACT same things she was already plotting and someone else just beat her to it! How you say? Well, let’s start with Kaitlin deciding Foute was a team that was gonna last and offer enough and she blew it up Hoping to create some new lines in the house. Isn’t that all Angie talked about last week? Let’s also talk about a bigger one that becomes a serious thorn in her side the last couple days. Last week Angie and Haleigh had a discussion about voting and took it to Chris. They believed they had the votes for Steve to stay so her idea was those two vote for Sam to stay then they can blame the bro’s for voting for Steve to stay and Sam to go which was what their alliance did not want. It was talked about seriously until the last day when they started to wonder if the votes were possibly to close to play with fire. Guess what? She’s mad that The Bro’s told Scottie that Haleigh and Angie were one of the rogue votes last week to try and create more dissection within that team. I mean I get her being upset they are putting a target on her but really the Bros did exactly what Angie wanted to do and was to chicken to do it! That’s really what’s at the heart of her angst! Foute wanted to use Kaitlin for her vote. They wanted the numbers to be able to control the narrative in the game. Angie didn’t like her behaviors. It made her very Leary moving forward and she told Haleigh we will stick with Foute for now but we need to start planning our exit. She’s PISSED Kaitlin did exactly what she was planning to do! She’s pissed Tyler manages to get Kaitlin to lean his way because she needs Kaitlin to lean her way. Angie is the player coming off this week that is in the worst spot. Kaitlin may be a close second with all her drama once she expires her usefulness. Angie’s made no secret of her disdain for Tyler or Kaitlin or the Bro’s or for anyone this week actually. Angie still doesn’t realize she shouldn’t be saying things to people. She goes to JC of all people with the Bros trying to pin the vote on her story and now they are her targets. Of course we all know JC tells Tyler who already knows from multiple people she wants Tyler’s Head on a platter so now he’s got something to run back to the Bros. Then of course the Bros are like she’s got to go. I mean really she’s napping Tyler’s path to the end here, advantage or no advantage. All Tyler has to do is stoke the flames on both sides to get them to target each other and let him fall back once this week is over. Tyler still has some blind spots where Rachel and Haleigh are concerned because he’s had to invest so much time and energy to ensure this vote sends Chris home. On the bright side this young man is not afraid of hard work! He has eyes and ears everywhere. If Angie were to get power and he smells a BD plan he has his power. Worst case he’s nurturing his Sam relationship as well as JC has done the same. Bayleigh has spent most of her time with Chris which is never good. I will say I see her being able to easily get herself back into the fold if she wants to. I mean her and Chris found BB love is all well and good but with him Home and her focused on the game she stands a much better chance of making it to jury. Sam has done a great job of befriending everyone but Chris who just had no interest. He makes some efforts with her but he doesn’t hear her and he also doesn’t see how ingratiated she is with Tyler for saving her. Because he has no idea really that Tyler was the one that saved her. Had he known this he could have approached it very differently and maybe a better odd of swinging her vote. At the end of this week Tyler needs to go right to the courthouse after the season and request a TRO. Seriously! He may actually need a restraining order! She’s a fatal attraction. She went so far this week to try to manipulate him to giving her ‘physical attention’ in exchange for supporting Chris being voted out. Kaitlin literally went on and on yesterday about how she needs physical contact as an affirmation and if she doesn’t get that from him how can she know he’s with her. It was really awful to watch. I don’t think I’ve even seen a male player in the game be this sexually aggressive with a female. I hope that at some point this week production is forced to reveal her boyfriend revoked his waiver. In the final Foute meeting last night Angie really ticked her off! I loved it! Angie flat out told Kaitlin if she were cuddled up with multiple dudes all over the house she (Angie) wouldn’t have a home to go home to. BOOM! Yeah she dropped that bomb on her and Kaitlin was fuming! That was the final nail in Chris’ coffin. Haleigh seems to have been persuaded not to vote for Chris over Winston. She pretty much said as much this morning explaining she can’t reveal herself in a detriment to her own game to save Chris when the votes just aren’t there. Good for you Haleigh. I appreciate she was upfront prior to eviction tonight. Bayleigh understands why Chris is being targeted even if she doesn’t like it. Haleigh being honest keeps Bay’s respect. Faysal is none to happy to hear it but he’s been hinting that line all week as well so he can’t be all that surprised. Which HG are in the best spots at the end of week 2? Well, Tyler and JC are pretty well insulated and do not plan to get HOH as long as the threats like Angie have already been eliminated they both agree to throw it. That’s smart on Tyler’s part. He doesn’t need any more visible threat moments right now. Bay is in a good place with Chris gone. Haleigh is the female version of Tyler as far as social game and people are wildly underestimating her. Angela is a shadow in the house. So unless the Foute side wins and uses her in a pawn situation she’s sitting pretty today. Sam and Kaycee are the last two I don’t think have anything to worry about. Kaycee is well liked and excellent socially. People underestimate Sam for sure so I can easily see a path to jury for her. Angie is the most likely target this upcoming week should anyone else win. She and Scottie both are expendable as far as both sides are concerned. The other bad news for Angie is according to our production leak, while Rachel won the crap app last week by a landslide...Angie was the next least trending. I know Foutte Stan’s ride hard for Bayleigh in voting. If you are one of the ones rooting on your Queen Angie you better throw some votes her way because it could be really bad if she ends up with the crap app. That wraps up week 2! It’s almost time for the live show. I will be back later with results of the eviction and HOH. I hope you are getting your fill of RealiTea for all things BB20. Head over to Morty’s and check out the weekly draft where you can win prizes. Or capture your favorite moments by entering the Morty’s meme contest. It’s on to week 3.

Wow, just Wow! All of this happened in part because of Soggy’s constant desire to tell Tyler everything. He still doesn’t seem to comprehend this fact. Since the Veto meeting three players have been chasing their own tails. Kaitlin is exhausting. She’s the most malleable player in history. Soggy makes a little progress then screws himself repeatedly. Tyler has to be at his limits trying to keep Kaitlin on track and feed her need to be worshipped and fondled which is clearly the most icky part for him. Monday Soggy wants to talk to Kaitlin and Tyler together whenever he talks to Kaitlin. Soggy goes upstairs the first time has a few minutes alone with Kaitlin before Tyler joins (as asked to). This gives Tyler all the intel he needs to manage Kaitlin on a silver platter. Soggy leaks that Haleigh/Angie continually told Soggy not to talk to Kaitlin, just let this week ride out and save the rest for next week. This is information Tyler didn’t have and it’s the exact information that will pivot Kaitlin back to sensing Soggy Home because this Foutte alliance is untrustworthy. Later Soggy and Faysal are in the geometry room. Soggy talks about trying to swing 2 votes (believing he absolutely has 5 locked with Foutte). He emphasizes he would feel better having the 7 votes to stay than just focusing on getting the 6th to make it a tie and rely on Kaitlin to keep him. This is the right approach. As a player you cannot leave your life in this game to chance if it can be avoided. Where he’s mistaken his focusing most of his energy on flipping Tyler back to him. He’s still not realizing Tyler was NEVER with him. His second problem is he needs Sam or JC to flip as well to get that 7th vote. Soggy has spent 90% of his 20 days alone with Bayleigh or in his own group with Bayleigh. I say this every season you cannot cut all ties to other people in the house and you have to be present to really have the best opportunity to read what’s happening and who’s with whom! I am not sure before Monday Soggy has ever even had a conversation with Sam. He always get like he has his large group, they can manipulate Scottie, putting all of his eggs in just securing Scottie basket and very dismissive of needing the interact with anyone else. JC is closest to Tyler and Sam. He’s not a floater that can be flipped in this scenario just because Soggy has a chat with him. In fact JC spent the better part of the day popping in and out of rooms saying he’s voting Soggy out. Right up until this afternoon Soggy is telling Kaitlin he believes JC will vote however Tyler and Kaitlin tell him to. This is actually true where Tyler is concerned but Soggy has ZERO chance of persuading Tyler or JC to flip. To the point Kaitlin gets a little pissy with Tyler feeling like he’s not even willing to consider keeping Soggy. She’s right there too but he knows how to redirect her. Kaitlin had one of her many meltdowns yesterday (Tuesday) because people aren’t under her feet in the HOH. She’s the kind of HOH that makes us laugh because she genuinely believes because she’s HOH all of these people OWE HER and will have to keep her safe, do what she wants, no matter what. She’s mad so many people were up in HOH when Tyler was HOH but not hers. She says I want friends! Whaaa whaaa whaaaa! As if all of that wasn’t enough once Tyler is given the invitation Monday to join Faysal and Soggy it gets worse. Tyler is literally coming off his convo with Bayleigh when Soggy starts in again with his pleas. Again attempts to remind Tyler that they made a personal connection. Questions why would Tyler keep Winston when you have no idea what he will do and Soggy is not just promising but swearing on his father’s grave he would never target him. Ok that’s all well and good but it’s what happens next that has me palming my face like what are you doing? This continues Monday night and as recent as Tuesday afternoon as I am watching him once again with Tyler/Scottie in geometry room. Soggy shifts slightly arguing he’s a bigger target, he will protect Kaitlin, he will aim at Winston/Brett/Angela. As recently as this afternoon Soggy is still telling Tyler which HG he thinks he persuading. Soggy is feeling like he’s going to be most able to persuade JC. Actually based on what I saw yesterday Sam was actually his best shot. Sam is just nice to everyone and cooks all day. She’s at a disadvantage because she’s still trying to figure out the current game. Before I go into the late night convo between Soggy and Sam early Tuesday morning (weee hours) there’s an important point to be made. While Soggy is putting in all this work various Foutte members have 1-1 chats with Tyler. What we wouldn’t have expected is for his own. Haleigh has said to Kaitlin she would vote Soggy out if Kaitlin asked her to. We’ve seen various shades of Faysal which creates a doubt where he will really land. Sam gives Chris (he flips back and forth from Chris to Soggy) advice that’s really intuitive. She tells Chris he needs to show his softer side and make more of an emotional connection with people. The persona he explains to her that is Soggy C is an act and pulls at Sam’s heart strings. After watching it I was even a little concerned Sam may go rogue. Soggy literally hugs Sam and makes motions of getting her on a fishing rod as he hugs her goodbye and thanks her for her advice. Soggy should have taken her advice. IMO that really was his best shot at winning over some votes and getting people to see him differently. Nope he walks away and keeps doing what he has been doing which is circular conversations. Rinse and repeat the same things over and over and telling Tyler everything. I currently see an 85/15 chance of him staying. Unless Winston looses his mind or someone exposes something drastic about Tyler 85% we will watch Soggy walk out the door. His only hope is it somehow ends in a 6-6 vote with Kaitlin as tie breaker and Tyler wasn’t the last to talk to her. Sam later shares with Kaitlin her convo with Chris. We really get our first insights into how Sam thinks in the game. Sam tells Kaitlin she bases her opinions on the ‘people’ who they are and how she connects with them. From her perspective Chris would be easier and more likely to be able to work with moving forward. You can communicate with him. He seems more open and for her game it would be better for Chris to stay than Winston. Sam goes on to explain that Winston is inflexible and like talking to a brick wall. For the 10 millionth time Kaitlin walks away from that changing her opinions again. I swear in any conversation she fully subscribes to whatever that person says. This has made Tyler’s work really difficult because he is constantly having to manager her. This also means he has less time to spend with other people. He really knows he needs to be in the mix for but she’s sucking the life out of him. The other challenge he’s faced is she’s one of the most THIRSTY women we’ve seen In the house. She is very ‘Single White Female’ and is desperate for a showmance. She’s that girl that will do anything for a man to pay attention to her. To the point after telling Faysal last week she wanted to have sex with him to the other night telling Tyler she wants to kiss him so bad. It’s gross and really creepy to watch. Poor Tyler is being held captive by his own creation because if he distanced himself from her she will flip. This is also creating a lot of whispering all day Monday throughout the house that Kaitlin and Tyler may be the new showmance. Now with Kaitlin he’s been deflecting her advances with humble flattery and his concern and respect for her and her boyfriend. Finally JC matches his little but right up to Tyler and asks, “Are you and Kaitlin in a showmance now? Because everybody in the house is running around talking about it!” I love JC. He doesn’t hold his tongue and is so look b*%#/here’s how it is and you need to.... its fun to watch! Now Tyler KNOWS he has to spend some more time downstairs. Kaitlin in seconds is like you’re pulling away from me, I feel like you are spending more time with other people! OMG! Let me just be honest. Real talk, I had to take a long break from feeds yesterday between Soggy’s horrible convos to Kaitlin’s bi-polar moods all day it got to be too much! I needed Sam’s thinking spot for a while. Lol. Tyler hints casually throughout the day Tuesday he needs to talk to Kaycee, Angela, Rachel. As the day progresses he handles this as well as he can. He solicits empathy from the other ladies in the house. Tyler says he’s freaked out and doesn’t know what to do because “I think she wants a showmance and I have to keep redirecting it telling her he doesn’t want things to look bad to her BF.” Angela correctly replies, “it already does,” (look bad for Kaitlin). Angela isn’t wrong! We also found out this morning that Kaitlin’s BF has in fact contacted CBS and complained about production zooming in on his face in the picture of he and her on the side of the bed while she’s laying in the bed with Tyler! Expect to see a lot of that in the episode. Kaitlin’s BF isn’t down for Kaitlin’s game and I won’t be surprised if he revokes his release and then BB will tell her if that happens! Can we have this please?! After eviction of course but I’m HERE for watching her completely fall to pieces if that were to happen! She’s dug herself into this mess and she’s so needy and sensitive if she hears her BF revoked his release she will absolutely lose her sh*t! Soggy is still vomiting valuable info to Tyler which allows him to circle the wagons where needed. Soggy tells Tyler that he wants his vote and feels if he votes for him giving him the 6th he’s pretty certain Kaitlin will follow suit and break the tie in his favor. A lot of reasons why Tyler should vote for him but his strategy is to try and swing JC and or Sam so it’s a 7-5 vote in his favor and that’s all he needs. Me: WHY ARE YOU TELLING TYLER YOUR PLANS STILL? If you don’t have the feeds I swear to you Tyler has some kind of “talk to me” dust he sprinkles that people just feel like they can talk to him. It’s both exciting and aggravating. It’s exciting because Tyler is playing the game. He’s constantly moving pieces around the chess board and making moves that flawlessly unfold and it’s great to watch. It’s frustrating because you have this certain group of people that see exactly what’s he doing but still hand deliver what he needs to make it all possible! It’s mind blowing how they all still manage to drop war plans for their army right into the enemies hands. Little does Soggy know (because he’s so absent all the time) Sam is one of Tyler’s closest friends in the house. Tyler tells us in the DR that Sam is the one person he trusts in the game and they’ve made a genuine friendship but she’s his closest allie. Soggy is going to work. I give him that! He had his blanket moment initially following Veto yesterday but once Bayleigh rallies the group his best bet is to try and pull on Kaitlin’s heart strings and secure at least one more vote. Tyler does eventually get to speak to Sam. He is such a committed player because he patiently listens to her tell him all of her opinions which takes about 30 min and he makes sure to seem so interested in her perceptions. By the end he’s like ok but are you gonna use your power on Soggy if he gets evicted? Sam swears she would never do that. Tyler plays the ok ok I didn’t think you would but Kaitlin was a little worried and wanted me just to check with you, but I never thought you would. You won’t right? Sam assures Tyler she will vote however Tyler/Kaitlin want. Even though she sees more potential to work with Chris than Winston she’s loyal to them so not to worry. This is the one place I see some potential for a rogue vote to get to a tie. That’s the last thing Tyler needs because Kaitlin having to break a tie in the moment live is a HUGE risk! JC isn’t going to flip. We haven’t seen Winston wig out like Sogyy hopes he could make him do. My favorite moment from the last few days happened yesterday. Tyler and Kaitlin were talking about season 16. Kaitlin says how much she hated Victoria. I can’t event remember who Kaitlin says she would be friends with from that season because what happens next was FABULOUS! Tyler is listening hanging half off the bed stroking Kaitlin’s hair says “Derrick and I would be friends.” This scene made me laugh so hard!!! It was live trolling or Kaitlin in the best possible way! Haleigh gives Faysal the 3rd degree because Kaitlin told her that Faysal said she’s his #1. Faysal replies that Haleigh isn’t doing anything for him to be her (Haleigh’s) #1. So this soap opera is still going on in the background. Haleigh is actually fairing the best in the Foutte group this week. She’s floating around and in with people everywhere so she could go in a different direction at any time. She’s also benefiting from the fact Tyler has to spend so much time stroking Kaitlin’s ego he’s not seeing exactly how good of a spot Haleigh’s manages to maneuver herself to this week. Angie is in the worst spot. She blatantly threatened to go after Tyler and he knows it. She’s been way too vocal all things considered and given Tyler someone to aim at next. I love that she sees him exactly as he is but she’s not reading other people well enough to see she needs to keep that close to her chest. Scottie is the one I can’t read. He’s telling Tyler things. He’s telling Soggy things. He’s stepped up his social interactions with everyone even attempting some mild flirting because he want America especially to see him more visibly with these powers floating around. I don’t think we will know where his true allegiance lands this week until we watch his DR’s. There has been a slight shift but...there’s no event or convo that clearly identifies what he wants. Finally. Team Foutte is saying each one will wear a Soggy C T-shirt Thursday night for the live show. Although we hear Scottie and Faysal late last night agree to do so and have lengthy conversation about the effects it will have I’m not sure whether it will happen. Haleigh told Kaitlin about it and that she’s NOT wearing the T-shirt. 100% not happening. Soggy also says his eviction speech is going to be epic! He’s going to blow up everyone it’s going to be pure TV gold. Um...if I’m Bayleigh I’m checking him. He shouldn’t do that because what typically happens when a player does something like that is it hurts the people left behind that they’re aligned with. I hope we see a Bayleigh SHUT IT DOWN because it’s the last thing she or Angie need. Not that it wouldn’t be entertaining. Right now we have Tyler/Haleigh/Kaitlin discussing votes. I don’t see anything else of value until tomorrow before feeds go down. That’s when we usually have the best possible read, but again right up until eviction happens arguments, blow ups, drama can and does unfold. There’s the RealiTea. Chris is likely to go home tomorrow and I am counting the seconds until Kaitlin’s HOH ends!

I am so disappointed! Ugh. Maybe instead of fireworks it will turn out to be a slow moving burn but...the way Foutte seems resolved to Soggy going home I’m not holding my breath.

It’s doom’s day in the BB house. The veto ceremony came and went today. Tyler did use the veto on Scottie. Scottie was especially appreciative as Tyler had hoped. To my surprise Kaitlin actually replaces Scottie with SOGGY! Wow! I had doubts all week. She’s such a swamp of emotions I just couldn’t see her following through. My confidence that had started to grow by Monday was shattered when Kaitlin spilled the beans to Haleigh. Saying that Soggy was blindsided is an understatement. Haleigh and Angie knew and didn’t leak the info which is very telling. So going into the ceremony today the only players in the house who didn’t know the plan to BD Soggy were: Soggy, Bayleigh (suspected), Faysal, and Scottie. Ouch! Soggy is really going to be PISSED when he watches back. I can say he is attacking this the right way with Bayleigh’s help. He’s appealing to Kaitlin’s heart strings. As Bayleigh asked in her DR in Sunday’s episode, Soggy is humbling himself and that is the right play here. He needs 7 to stay or 6 so Kaitlin can be the tie breaker. He does go to the HOH room later but that conversation with Kaitlin (alone at first) and then Kaitlin and Tyler was futile at best. I will say he did a lot of the right things between the wrong things. Soggy admits he said some of the things he said he said which made Kaitlin feel some type of way and lead to his nomination. However he denies some things. He doesn’t attack Tyler but he does throw Angie and Haleigh under the bus. Once tonight plays out I will be back tomorrow with complete details of Soggy’s pleas for votes. What we do know is one of the plans is to feed into Winston’s paranoia. The idea is to keep adding to Winston’s fears in hopes he blows up and shift the target from Soggy to Winston. That’s the smartest and best move in this scenario. That’s IF he can manage to do it. The fallout was disappointing. We do see Soggy fires up initially but Bayleigh smothers the flames. What wasn’t shocking was finding Kaitlin in a puddle crying her eyes out in the HOH after the ceremony was over and feeds return. Most of Level 6 is found in the HOH equally consoling and stroking her. All in all it was a bold move week 2. She abandoned her Day 2 alliance and effectively pulled off a major BD and blindside. The first couple hours that followed were eerily solemn. It’s no surprise Bayleigh handles Soggy. Not to say she didn’t do her share of crying. But Bayleigh and Soggy go into damage control mode by mid afternoon. Most surprising is that of everyone Angie is the one who reacts the worst! This is the same chick who has been plotting her’s and Haleigh’s exits from Foutte for 1 1/2 weeks. She completely blames Tyler and tells anyone that will listen that this was ALL him and he must die a miserable BB death. It’s both shocking and disappointing. She has some marvelous qualities as a player but her emotions and social isolation is going to end her game if she doesn’t tread much more lightly. Around 3:20 pm we start to see the fallout. Angie speaks with Kaitlin privately in the HOH. She’s placing all the blame on Tyler telling Kaitlin that she sees where Kaitlin got caught up in Tyler’s web. She says he plays dumb and Kaitlin fell victim to his good looks. Kaitlin does not appreciate the implications of Angie’s accusations. I was was pleasantly surprised to witness Kaitlin put her foot on Angie’s throat (figuratively) in response to Angie’s allegations. She admittedly denies Tyler having any hand in Kaitlin’s decision. Kaitlin lays out how her supposed alliance (Soggy specifically) turned on her. Kaitlin rattles off the long list of reasons Kaitlin felt both threatened by Soggy and his propensity to go after her saying she’s a loose cannon, she’s dispensable, he doesn’t trust her. She goes all the way back to the talk show incident which also includes spilling to Angie that The Bros. Faysal, and Soggy made some deal and no one told her about it. She follows up with the comments made by Bay/Soggy during the love triangle drama. I was actually kind of proud of her! She was insulted Angie would imply Kaitlin could be manipulated by a guy because he has a pretty face, she’s her own woman. Angie continues to lob accusations at Tyler. At one point they discuss when Kaitlin told Haleigh and Angie “just so you know anything you say to Tyler comes back to me.” Kaitlin again reiterated this is true and she tells Tyler everything as well and he’s been there to listen to her when her own team turned against her. It’s a must watch if you have the feeds! Angie throws up all of her viceral hate for Tyler she goes on to say she will target Tyler. She doesn’t like the kid, she sees him, and she’s not having any of his shenanigans. Kaitlin and Angie kind of finally make peace. As if she hadn’t made enough mistakes she waits until after they are done talking and Kaitlin is in the shower to say oh by the way don’t tell Tyler any of this. Kaitlin says oh don’t worry. Of course rhe second Tyler comes upstairs and they are alone Kaitlin tells Tyler everything Angie said. Here’s what BLOWS my mind! Angie has one of the best reads on the house. She’s not loud or all out in front but she is observant and generally saves her game talk and observations for Haleigh. Angie goes into this chat KNOWING Kaitlin is more loyal to Tyler than Foutte. She goes in fully aware that Kaitlin is under Tyler’s control. Knowing all she does she still cannot withhold her disdain for him? Why would she say all of this to Kaitlin knowing what she knows? Angie is the most vocal and visibly agitated by the BD and for now seems to be the only one that is creating a huge target on her back! Tyler already knew she wasn’t a fan of his but now he has confirmation that Angie is gunning for him. There are conversations unfolding after Angie has her chat she suggests Kaitlin talk to Soggy and Faysal. It’s been a slow boil today. There is lots going on but hard to point in a direction until all of these convos happen all around the house. My sleeves are rolled up and I’m prepared to be elbow deep in conversations happening all around the house. Come back tomorrow for the full breakdown of where all the balls land! The RealiTea is until everyone in the house runs to their corners and has chats with everyone else we won’t know how big of an upset it’s really going to be. So far Kaitlin is sticking to her guns (with Tyler’s help) and Tyler doesn’t seem to be in as much trouble as I feared he may be and Soggy is sitting next to Winston come Thursday.
