LIVE SHOW: Rockstar was evicted 5-1 (Fessy's vote was nullified by Kaycee, and Scottie was the 1 vote for Rockstar to stay). 7:10 PM BBT Feeds are back to the HOH slip-and-slide comp. Fessy, Scottie, and Tyler appear to be in the lead (in that order). Looks like JC is the only one trying to fill the smaller tube, the others are trying for the HOH tube. JC's progress isn't great anyway. 7:12 PM BBT Brett's tube is looking good too. Fessy still in the lead. Scottie still in 2nd. 7:17 PM BBT Fessy is able to grab the ball out of the tube and FESSY WINS HOH. FotH (until they get everyone inside).

10:04 PM BBT Haleigh and Scottie are on the balcony playing chess and whispering. Scottie asks Haleigh why she decided to come clean today after everything's already set, because it makes it look like a last-ditch effort to save Bayleigh. Haleigh explains that she was afraid of how it would look on the outside, and that she was in the DR crying about it. She never meant for Bayleigh to take the fall. Haleigh says she would never jeopardize Scottie's game. She says she didn't know how close he was with Tyler which is why she didn't tell him about the hacker ahead of time. Scottie says all he does is argue with Tyler. Haleigh says it terrifies her that he's working with Tyler. Scottie says he would have gone for the veto if he thought Tyler wasn't going to win it. 10:08 PM BBT FotH briefly, then feeds return Haleigh tells Scottie she doesn't want him to feel like he has to choose a side, but obviously she wants him on hers. Scottie says he didn't know Tyler was working on the other side. Bayleigh comes up to say goodnight and hugs both of them, then heads back downstairs. Haleigh says she knew Tyler was working for the other side and wasn't sure where Scottie stood. Haleigh says JC is playing a smart game. She says she would have come to Scottie if she thought he was on her side. She says she never even questioned taking him off the block though. 10:12 PM BBT Angela and Bayleigh in the kitchen. Angela says she never meant anything personal against Bayleigh. Bayleigh says she will eventually forgive Angela, but that she was so quick to turn on her and it hurt her heart. She says Angela should have given her a chance to defend herself. Angela says everyone told her they didn't win the hacker comp, so how could she believe anyone. Bayleigh says Angela said nasty things about her. Angela says she never did that. Bayleigh says that as a friendship, she's hurt. Angela says she'll always have Bayleigh's back as a friend, and anything negative she's ever said has been on a game level. Bayleigh says Angela still should have come to her and not talked behind her back. Angela says she's still not 100% sure who the hacker was and how could she come to Bayleigh if she wasn't sure? Bayleigh is dumbfounded by this and says someone has admitted to being the hacker, how could Angela still question it? Angela says she can't believe or trust anyone right now. Bayleigh says Angela has treated her badly and not talked to her the past 2 days. Angela starts to walk away and says she's not going to have this conversation right now. They argue back and forth about how Bayleigh has been treated. Angela repeats she's not going to have this conversation right now and starts to walk upstairs. Bayleigh says of course Angela hasn't done anything wrong, she's perfect (being sarcastic). 10:17 PM BBT Angela enters the HOHR and retells the conversation to Brett and Tyler.

1:58 PM BBT Tyler, Kaycee, and Angela in the HOHR. Angela says she feels bad for Tyler because he just has to sit there and take it. Kaycee says Haleigh probably thinks she's a legend now. She says they probably think the whole thing worked and no one will trust Tyler, but it didn't. Angela says this shows that they all knew who was the hacker from the beginning and this was all a set-up. Kaycee says Bayleigh is the hacker, Haleigh is just a puppet, and this was a last-minute attempt to flip the votes. Angela says it just makes Haleigh a target. The three of them all touch the HOH key for good luck in the next competition. 2:00 PM BBT Tyler says he's worried about Sam because she ran to console Bayleigh but didn't try to talk to him. Angela says that Sam just consoles whoever is upset in the moment, but that they looked out for her and Sam knows that. Tyler says that Bayleigh thinks he, Sam, and Scottie are in a final 3 alliance. They plan on using that info to make sure Sam votes Bayleigh out.

1:50 PM BBT (HN room) Bayleigh tells Brett that Rockstar told her she wants Bayleigh to stay. Bayleigh says she'll never say anything bad about Rockstar but it helps her to know she'd support her campaigning for herself. Haleigh peeks in to ask Brett a question then leaves. Brett says when he was on the block, it was hard to break down barriers. He says he just told people that they need to think about their own game. He says it's not possible to go to everyone and make a promise, but it's important to know who to target for campaigning. Bayleigh says she's not sure who she wants to talk to just yet, but that she genuinely feels bad for what happened between them, she likes Brett and won't use her power against him.

1:20 PM BBT Angela, JC, and Rockstar are in the kitchen snacking. Angela says there's nothing she can do now. They chat idly about food and Sam singing from the shower. 1:23 PM BBT Fessy and Brett are talking in the HN room. They don't know where JC stands. Fessy talks about how they could hear JC screaming in the HOHR after the meeting, when Fessy, Brett, etc were in the kitchen. Fessy wants to know what JC was so mad about. Brett says he thought the meeting was going to be a letter from Kaitlyn or something and expected it to be funny. He says JC got up to leave in the middle of the meeting probably because he realized the fight would make it on TV and JC didn't like his outfit. Brett and Fessy agree that the house meeting is definitely going to make it on TV because Bayleigh was bleeding. 1:26 PM BBT Bayleigh comes in and Brett tells her how he thinks they'll edit it to make it look like Bayleigh got hurt. Fessy walks out to let them chat. Brett asks Bayleigh what Haleigh meant at the meeting about Kaitlyn and Tyler. Bayleigh explains that Tyler told Kaitlyn his game plans and strategy, then Kaitlyn told Haleigh. Brett says it's hard to decipher what came out of Kaitlyn's mouth because she made up a lot of stories. 1:35 PM BBT Bayleigh says she wishes she got to know Brett sooner. Brett says he was trying to give her space this week because she was upset. Bayleigh says she appreciated it and didn't feel he was purposely avoiding her. Brett says it's hard to trust someone new this far in the game, but what happened in the past between Swaggy and Winston, etc, ended in both of them leaving and it isn't relevant now. Bayleigh says she and Fessy have talked about how they like Brett, but are concerned that Brett will use anything he tells them against them if he is on the block. She asks how she can trust that he won't do that. Brett says the difference now is that they would be working together. 1:41 PM BBT Brett tells Bayleigh that the one thing he learned from being on the block is that it doesn't matter who tells you they're voting for you. He's been surprised by every vote. Bayleigh says that if she leaves on Thursday, it is what it is. Brett says he always figured that he was just lucky to have been chosen to be here. Bayleigh says that no matter what, this has been a great experience. But if she stays, she's staying here with her back against the wall, because people still want her out, and she sees how it is now. They bond over how you learn that when you're on the block.

1:11 PM BBT Rockstar and JC are in the geometry room. Rockstar says that she does want to stay, win an HOH, etc. She says no one from the other side has been touched at all, they walk around with their noses in the air, and those are the people she would put up if she won HOH. She says she wouldn't put up Kaycee because she won't put up a gay person. She says she would put up Tyler. She says she obvious wants to win the game. JC says it's one step at a time. Rockstar says she just wants to stay. She says if she stays, she doesn't plan on being a Victoria. JC says she hasn't been a Victoria. JC says that Bayleigh flipping out is basically asking people to evict her. JC says that if he were in Rockstar's position, he would sit quietly and keep his mouth shut (basically let Bayleigh dig her own grave). Rockstar says she will stay quiet the rest of the day, but that she was not okay with how people were talking about and treating Bayleigh. JC says he's glad they are having this one-on-one because he wanted to know if she really wanted to stay. Rockstar asks who he thinks has the last power app, and JC says he has no idea, how can anyone know anything, Haleigh turned out to be the hacker! Rockstar says she thinks people throw her on the block because they think she's weak and won't go after them, and she's offended by that. Feeds switch.

1:04 PM BBT Bayleigh joins Fessy and JC in the geometry room and says she's calm now. She says JC didn't even want to go to the meeting but he's probably glad he did now. JC says he thought the meeting was going to be Haleigh telling everyone to stop making comments about her and Fessy being a couple. Rockstar comes in and says Tyler wants to act like he had nothing to do with anything, but he had everything to do with all of this. She says Tyler knew what was happening, he was up in the HOHR putting ideas in Kaitlyn's head, etc. JC says this is too intense and he just wanted cupcakes. Bayleigh says hopefully this changes things. She says no offense to Rockstar but she hopes they will vote for her to stay now. JC laughs (uncomfortably? Because of the absurdity of all of it?). Rockstar the only thing she's mad about is if she has to meet Julie wearing the workout outfit.

12:58 PM BBT Bayleigh in LR (from DR) and says she blacked out in anger and her jaw hurts now. Rockstar says she composed herself well. Rockstar, Haleigh, Scottie, and Brett are on the couches. Rockstar says she's just an old lady with a fat ass that's about to meet Julie. She gets up to use the bathroom. 12:59 PM BBT Sam hugs Bayleigh in the WA and tells her she's so beautiful and strong. Bayleigh is laughing/crying and thanks her. Rockstar comes out of the WC. She hugs Bayleigh. Bayleigh gets some toilet paper to blow her nose. They're just joking around now trying to keep things light. Sam asks why no one questioned she was the doctor. Brett comes in and says it's because Sam's too pervy with her hands. Rockstar says that the weirdest thing about all of this is that she likes Brett now. She hugs him.

12:45 PM BBT JC and Fessy in the geometry room. JC tells Fessy Haleigh doesn't have his back. He says Fessy used the veto on Haleigh and Haleigh didn't even bother to tell Fes that she was the hacker, and put him at risk by changing the noms the way she did. Fessy says he's mad because Haleigh could have picked him to play in veto, instead of picking Kaycee. He says he still trusts her though and that she knows this was a dumb move. Fessy is trying to defend Haleigh and says this meeting was an attempt to save Bayleigh. JC asks how this will save Bayleigh. Fessy says it might sway Scottie. JC asks what will happen next week, Haleigh gets the hacker power again and does more random stuff? Fessy tells him not to worry about Haleigh. They count votes to keep Bayleigh to stay. They are counting Fessy, Haleigh, Scottie, JC, and maybe Brett. JC says he can't focus on this right now. He says he has to focus on his own game. Fessy says, "Here we go again with this speech..." He says it's not always about JC. He says that five people got called out at this meeting and JC wasn't one of them, here he is worrying about himself. JC tells him to go ahead and explain how Brett is going to vote with them. Fessy recaps his conversation with Brett last night about keeping Bayleigh over Rockstar if Bayleigh wasn't the hacker. JC says he doesn't trust Rockstar. Fessy says she's messing up Haleigh's game too. JC says that Haleigh still should have told Fessy about the hacker power. Fessy agrees on that point. 12:55 PM BBT JC says that these people (Haleigh, Bayleigh, Rockstar) are not good for Fessy's game. They are not sharing info with him. He says that there's a lot Fes doesn't know. Fessy presses him for that info. JC says Bayleigh and Haleigh were trying to convince Angela of a girl's alliance. He says that Haleigh is really close with Bayleigh, didn't tell Fessy about being the hacker, etc. He asks how Fessy thinks he's still a priority for Haleigh with all that going on behind his back.

12:42 PM BBT Kaycee up in HOHR telling Angela and Tyler that everyone in the kitchen could hear JC shouting up here. She's not sure what everyone heard but wanted to let her know. Angela says this sets them up better for next week. Now they have a reason to get Haleigh out without getting blood on their hands. They wonder how much Scottie knows and if what they tell him is getting relayed to the other side. Angela says it was so quiet for days, and then this house meeting. She jokes that Haleigh felt like she needed to be relevant. Meanwhile, Haleigh and Rockstar are diffusing in the PBR.

12:23 PM BBT Everyone is gathering into the LR. JC asks if it's about Kaitlyn's clothes. Kaycee asks if Kaitlyn has sent a "message." Almost everyone has gathered now. Kaycee says she's excited. Rockstar joins them on the couches with Orwell and says he's a very important member of the house. 12:24 PM BBT Haleigh begins by saying she loves everyone, but that several owe Bayleigh an apology. She says she won the hacker comp, not Bayleigh. She says Tyler was an obvious target and lays out the reasons. She tells Angela she never wanted to take her power. She tells them that Tyler went to Bayleigh last week and asked her to backdoor Angela. Tyler interrupts and says that's hilarious. Bayleigh cuts in and backs up the story, telling Tyler to stop. Bayleigh says she tried to protect Tyler and he threw her under the bus, he's treating her like trash. She says she didn't come at him. Tyler asks why he would lie about that. They argue back and forth about what happened, voices getting louder. They go back and forth about it repeatedly. Bayleigh yells that Tyler treated her like trash, how dare he, when she protected him. She didn't go behind his back and throw him under the bus, but Tyler did that to her in front of everyone. She tells him to apologize like a man. Tyler says it's irrelevant if she's the hacker or not. Rockstar says Bayleigh's not the hacker, so it is relevant. Bayleigh says she didn't want to disrespect Angela by using her power, and she felt safe with her, so she didn't use it. She wasn't on a power trip. Tyler says tells Bayleigh congrats but he's still voting her out because of her power. Bayleigh yells at Tyler to shut up. Haleigh, still standing at the head of the LR, says, "Okay, that's all I wanted to say..." She says that if anyone has anything to say to her, they live in the same house. "Meeting adjourned." Tyler and Bayleigh keep going at it. Bayleigh says there's no excuse for how he's treated her. Tyler says he has nothing to apologize for and insists he didn't throw out Angela's name last week, that Bayleigh did it. They are really yelling at each other now. 12:30 PM BBT JC and Angela go up the stairs to watch from the balcony. Bayleigh is screaming. Tyler says she's taking it too far. Bayleigh slams the door to the BBR. Tyler, in the LR, asks how it got this far. He says he's not apologizing. Bay still screaming from BBR. Tyler goes up to the balcony with JC and Angela as they try to calm him down. Sam and Haleigh try to comfort Bayleigh in the PBR, she's sobbing.

12:09 PM BBT PBR. Haleigh just told Rockstar that she's the hacker. She told her she wants to call a house meeting and told her the whole speech she has planned. Rockstar says they should have the house meeting right now. Bayleigh joins them and they tell her that Rockstar knows now. Haleigh is giving Bayleigh the run-down of her speech. Haleigh says she's so nervous. Bayleigh says she's glad Rockstar took it well. 12:13 PM BBT Faysal is in the PBR with them now. Bayleigh yells at Fessy to put on pants so they can do the meeting. Bayleigh says the only concern is Tyler winning HOH. Haleigh says this will either be the dumbest thing, or the best thing. Bayleigh thinks it will be best thing. Rockstar is pumped and says if she was the hacker, she'd get up there and curse them all out. Haleigh practices her speech again so Fessy can hear it. Bayleigh says the speech is good and that Haleigh must have been practicing. 12:17 PM BBT Rockstar tells Haleigh to put on some lipgloss before the meeting. Haleigh hugs her and they say they love each other no matter what. 12:19 PM BBT Haleigh goes into the kitchen. Brett and Scottie are chatting. Meanwhile in HOHR, Angela is telling Kaycee about her talk with Bayleigh about wanting Bayleigh to be the first black winner of BB. She tells her about her talk this morning. 12:21 PM BBT Haleigh calls for everyone to get into the LR for the house meeting. BB asks Fessy and JC to put on their mics. Haleigh goes up to the HOHR to get Kaycee and Angela for the meeting.

10:03 AM BBT: Kaycee's song comes on for at least the fourth time this morning. She and Sam are in the kitchen, then Sam heads into the BY for a cigarette. Bayleigh is out there on the bike. Angela passes through the kitchen and goes back upstairs to HOHR. 10:06 AM BBT: Scottie is called to the DR. 10:08 AM BBT: Tyler comes out of the WA and joins Kaycee in the kitchen. FotH. 10:11 AM BBT: Feeds return. In the BY, Kaycee is now out there with Sam and Bayleigh. Bayleigh enlists Kaycee's help lowering the awnings. Sam goes inside. Meanwhile Scottie is pacing around the KT then the SR, contemplating his breakfast options.

9:40 AM BBT FotH for the last 40 minutes for a long wake-up call, but feeds finally return. Angela is doing her hair in the HOHR. Fessy is sleepily pacing around the downstairs, then hops in the shower. Kaycee is in WA putting her hair up when her peanut song comes on and she performs, though complains she can barely open her eyes. The song comes on again one minute later. Just ADL's and Kaycee dancing so far. 9:50 AM BBT Kaycee's song comes on again while she's in the BBR. Rockstar walks by. Most HG appear to still be in bed. FotH probably for another wake-up call.

2:32 PM BBT Kaitlyn is curled up on the couch in the WA. Fessy comes in and sits on the other end of the couch. They sit in silence for a minute. Fessy: “Talk to me.” Kaitlyn: “I don’t know what to say.” Fessy: “This is the position we’re in.” Kaitlyn: “We?! I’m the one on the block. I’m the one that might have to go home.” Fessy: “We’re all gonna have to ‘might go home’ sometime.” Kaitlyn says Fessy is being insensitive. Fessy says he just wants her to be strong. Kaitlyn says she was strong, but he scared her. Fessy says he’s scared too, that he might go on the block. Kaitlyn rolls her eyes. Kaitlyn starts to get upset and asks why he wouldn’t want to save her. She says she just wants to go home, she’s sick of this. Fessy tells her not to give up. Kaitlyn says that Fessy can’t look at her in the face and tell her what he’d do with the veto. “How is that supposed to make me feel?” Fessy says he doesn’t know how he’s supposed to feel either. Kaitlyn keeps pushing him, asking him to say that he’ll use it on her if he wins. She says he could tell her that yesterday, as she was in his arms crying, and now he can’t even look at her. She says again that she just really wants to go home. She leans against the WR door crying. Fessy gets up to hug her. They hug for a long time, then Kaitlyn breaks away and says, “Why? Like, why? What changed?” Fessy says he’s not saying either way if he’s saving her. He doesn’t know. He says he’s been real since he walked into this house and he’s not going to be fake now. He has so many thoughts in his mind and he won’t lie to anyone’s face. In the middle of Fessy talking, Kaitlyn’s had enough and walks out of the WA. 2:48 PM BBT Kitchen. JC says Kaitlyn wants to talk to Fessy in the geometry room. Fessy peeks his head in there, where Kaitlyn is now curled up. He says he'll be in there in 2 minutes, he's making food. She doesn't respond. As he leaves, the camera operator pans over to a lone hand print on the pin wall. [I'm out for a little bit, but you look like you've got it covered Goldylucks! -NotFornia]

12:33 PM BBT Kaitlyn confronts Rockstar in the PBR. “Did you tell JC this morning that you don’t believe my theory?” (her theory about Sam’s power being 2 votes, used at the last eviction) Rockstar denies it and says she didn’t know. She asks if it even matters, because they’re still in the position they’re in. Kaitlyn says it’s not a theory, it’s the truth, and she told people about it to defend Rockstar. Rockstar says she didn’t need defending. Kaitlyn tells Rockstar that she overheard Rockstar and Bayleigh talking about her (Kaitlyn) backdooring Swaggy a few minutes ago. She says she heard every word and is hurt. Rockstar asks what she’s hurt about. She says Kaitlyn changed the trajectory of the game and called her out in front of the whole house. Kaitlyn says she’s not proud of that part, but she’s proud of what she did. She says she didn’t try to change the trajectory of the game, she was just standing up for herself. Rockstar argues, “Your words were, ‘I’m changing the trajectory of the game!’” Rockstar says she’s glad Kaitlyn stood up for herself, but it was stupid and she told Kaitlyn that to her face when it happened. Kaitlyn says that’s the only thing she’s done against them. Rockstar argues that Kaitlyn also believed Brett over her. Kaitlyn says she’s not the only one who believed Brett, and that Rockstar can’t just throw that out as another reason to vote against her. She says she never said she didn’t believe Rockstar, she just wasn’t sure who to believe. [They go back and forth about Brett for a minute, and how Kaitlyn took his side when Rockstar tried to tell her he was a liar] Rockstar says it’s not a game of ‘I told you so.’ Kaitlyn says that it is, apparently. Kaitlyn says that if she stays, she’s not sure of where to go moving forward, she thought they were still cool. Rockstar says, “Are we cool, or are you cool with Tyler?” She says she’s never been Kaitlyn’s confidant. Kaitlyn says no one is her confidant. Rockstar says that maybe Kaitlyn works better with guys. She says Kaitlyn never has one-on-one conversations with her. Kaitlyn counters and says that she doesn’t have one-on-one conversations with anyone. Rockstar says she doesn’t know how Kaitlyn’s friendships work, but for Rockstar, it means they trust her and she trusts them and they listen to each other. Kaitlyn again says she wasn’t the only one who didn’t listen to Rockstar about Brett and it’s not fair to pin it on her. Rockstar says she’s sorry that she had a higher expectation of Kaitlyn, as an intuitive person. She expected Kaitlyn would catch on faster. Rockstar says that she still hasn’t forgotten that Tyler was going to target Bayleigh in the first week. [They go on for a while arguing about trust and believing each other about things] 12:56 PM BBT Kaitlyn left, Rockstar tells Bayleigh about the whole conversation she just had with Kaitlyn. Fessy comes in briefly and they talk to him about it too. Bayleigh is annoyed that Kaitlyn will confront Rockstar about what she overheard, but she won’t approach Bayleigh about it. Tyler comes in after a while and Rockstar retells the whole thing to him too. 1:13 PM BBT Rockstar is in the middle of telling Tyler about the confrontation with Kaitlyn. Suddenly Kaitlyn comes in and asks what they’re talking about. Rockstar quickly switches topic and says they were talking about Brett. 1:23 PM BBT JC and Fessy are talking in the SR. JC says he knows Fessy won’t use the veto if he wins because it would be stupid to do so. He asks what Fessy is thinking of doing with the votes. JC says Kaitlyn told him Fessy promised her his vote, but JC wanted to hear it from Fessy. Fessy says, “That’s what I told her…” He implies he would actually vote out Kaitlyn. 1:28 PM BBT Brett and Angela in the HNR. Brett is saying how funny it is that everyone thinks he’s lying about the votes, and they all think Sam used her power to cast 2 votes. He says everyone hates him now because they think he’s a liar, but they’ll see. Angela tells him that Sam’s power is going to be used automatically this week. They’re confused about the details (what it is and how it will work “automatically”), but their timing is correct, at least. 1:33 PM BBT Rockstar and JC are talking in the PBR about her talk with Kaitlyn. JC goes to retrieve Kaitlyn from the kitchen for a little meeting. Haleigh joins to watch. JC confronts Kaitlyn to clear things up. He says he never told Kaitlyn that Rockstar didn’t believe her about the power. Kaitlyn says she didn’t claim that’s what he said. [Reminder that one hour ago, Kaitlyn started her conversation with Rockstar by saying, “Did you tell JC you didn’t believe me?”] Kaitlyn says she just wanted to make sure Rockstar believed her, and doesn’t know why she wouldn’t. She asks Rockstar how she’s feeling. Rockstar says she wants to nap so she can win this thing, then she’ll talk to Sam. Kaitlyn asks JC if he’d keep noms the same. JC says that he believes everyone should respect the HOH’s wishes, so that’s what he’ll do if he wins.

11:23 AM BBT Kaitlyn comes up to the foosball table where Fessy is. She’s angry. Kaitlyn asks Fessy what’s wrong with him – why did he tell Haleigh to pick him for HG choice? “You told her the same thing you told me!” Fessy looks caught off-guard. He says, “So we're not playing foosball?” Kaitlyn is pretty upset because Fessy told both her and Haleigh to pick him for HG choice. Fessy says he’s in a stupid-ass position and asks what he’s supposed to do. Kaitlyn wants to know why he would do that to her. She’s mad that Fessy told Bayleigh that Kaitlyn planned on picking him. She says they had that conversation privately. She’s upset that Fessy won’t come sit next to her and says he’s being weird. She says he’s deflecting. She says that if noms stay with her and Haleigh on the block, Rockstar will vote to keep Haleigh. Fessy is quiet and Kaitlyn asks if he will use the veto to save Haleigh if he wins. Fessy says everyone is so paranoid. Kaitlyn tells him to stop deflecting. He says that the house wants him to keep nominations the same. Kaitlyn can’t believe he wouldn’t save her after he promised he would. Fessy says that before she starts freaking out demanding answers, he wants answers. He says Kaitlyn knows about things she’s not sharing with him. Kaitlyn denies that she’s keeping things from Fessy and she swears on her life and her brother’s life that she doesn’t know anything. Fessy insists there’s something she’s not telling him [he’s hinting about the girls alliance, but Kaitlyn isn’t budging]. Fessy says that Kaitlyn was shaking her head ‘no’ at the veto picking meeting, and he thought that meant she wouldn’t pick him. Kaitlyn is annoyed by this and says she was just scared, didn’t realize she was shaking her head. He says now she’s deflecting. He says he knows Rockstar and Bayleigh won’t want him to use the veto, because they could go up as replacement noms. Kaitlyn says it will look stupid if he doesn’t take her off the block, why wouldn’t he save his number one alliance? She says that if wins veto and either doesn’t use it, or uses it to save Haleigh, Kaitlyn will not trust him in this game if she ends up staying. Fessy says, “That’s what you wanna say to me right now? 'How can I trust you after that?'” He says he managed to get past all of the things Kaitlyn hid from him. Kaitlyn says she’s never gone back on her word. She says she sent his friend home, who was an ass to her (Swaggy). Fessy says Swaggy said one comment, that’s it. He says, “Oh, in a game of strategy, he called you shady? Kaitlyn. Come on.” He says, look where it’s gotten them -- Swaggy’s gone, now Haleigh and Kaitlyn are on the block, and Brett is still here. Kaitlyn says defensively, “It’s all my fault, sorry.” She says that if he didn’t want to win the veto and save her, he shouldn’t have asked to be picked. Fessy asks Kaitlyn if she has a power. He says someone close to him must have the power, there are 2 more unused. Kaitlyn can’t believe that’s what Fessy is thinking about right now. [The conversation goes on like this for a while] Kaitlyn tells Fessy to let her have her moment, and tells him not to make “that face” at her. She says she can do whatever she puts her mind to. Fessy says he can feel how he wants to feel, and he feels he’s in a tough position. Eventually, Kaitlyn says she will support whatever he decides to do.

10:50 AM BBT Fessy and Tyler are playing foosball upstairs. Tyler says that if a guy goes up next to a girl, the guy will go home. He says he wanted to talk to Fessy and JC about this supposed girl's alliance. He's not sure where Sam stands with it but doesn't think she's in on it. He says he's going to try to talk to her. Fessy says that if JC finds out about the girls, he'll go nuts. They think they should wait to tell the other guys. Tyler says he's trying to build a good relationship with the other side of the house to keep Kaitlyn safe. Fessy says that if Kaitlyn stays, she has to be on board with him and Tyler. He says that Kaitlyn hasn't told them anything about the girls alliance, even though he tried to bring it up to her. Tyler is surprised Kaitlyn or Haleigh didn't tell Fessy about it. He doesn't understand why Kaitlyn would keep it from them if they are her number ones. Fessy says that they just have to get past Monday. He says they have to put up 2 girls again next week, because the girls are comfortable watching the guys pick each other off. 11:10 AM BBT WA. Rachel asks Kaitlyn what she thinks about the theory that a power was used in the last vote. Kaitlyn says it's not a theory, it's accurate. She says they all compared stories and the only thing that made sense was that a power was used for an extra vote. Kaitlyn says Sam has the ability to redeem herself, if Kaitlyn or Haleigh is taken off the block. She says Sam had a laundry list of personal attacks against her. Rachel says she's heard murmurs of Sam having a power. Kaitlyn tells Rachel the whole story about flipping the first week to vote out Steve, then winning HOH right after. She's basically giving Rachel a recap of the last few weeks from her own perspective. She says that at the last eviction night, Sam was looking at Tyler the whole time and Tyler was shaking his head 'no.' She says she knows that Sam used her power that night to cast 2 votes and send Winston home. Rachel says she had no idea about any of this. Kaitlyn lists out all of the things she's done in this game for female empowerment and is mad that Sam feels Kaitlyn has done the opposite.

7:07 PM BBT Scottie: "And with this competition, my 'reign' is over" (he says, as the fake rain pours down in the BY) Kaitlyn says her feet are soaking and eyes are watering. Angela says she's about to pee herself to get warm, a couple of the other girls say they will if she will. Scottie is trying to keep them entertained. They just got covered in honey. JC says the honey is helping them stay warm. Scottie says it's not honey, it's warm urine. He's trying to tell them stories about warm things, like fire and the sun. They're all still up there, but we're only about 15 minutes in now. Feathers are floating around the backyard. They just got shot with "bird poop," Scottie got some splash from it. 7:16 PM BBT Rockstar is first to come down. Scottie is hugging and comforting her, she's crying. She says she's sorry, Scottie says everything is okay. Looks like Scottie has a little bonfire set-up in front of the bench, not sure if they're going to use it or not. Scottie says Kaycee is getting hit the worst. Rockstar says, "Everybody but Brett, you're doing awesome!" Looks like there are no blankets to towels for the fallen, they just have to shiver on the logs/bench. 7:22 PM BBT Fessy comes down. Rachel is struggling, Scottie is cheering her on. He tells Tyler to keep digging. Kaitlyn says, "Oh, we're talking teams now, bitch!" (Scottie is pretty much cheering all of them on individually throughout the comp) 7:25 PM BBT Brett falls off. Rockstar cheers when he falls and says everyone else is doing great. Bayleigh falls off quickly after Brett. 7:32 PM BBT Sam says no one is cheering her on, which earns her some cheers from the others. Brett says she's the only one not struggling. Angela comes off. Rachel comes off immediately after. JC, Tyler, Sam, Haleigh, Kaitlyn, and Kaycee are left. FotH. 7:38 PM BBT Aaaand we're back. No one else has fallen yet. Scottie says, "We got some feather weather!" (Feathers are flying as they get shot with "bird poop") Haleigh really looks like she's struggling. 7:41 PM BBT Haleigh is off. 7:43 PM BBT Just as Scottie is saying how strong JC looks... JC slips off! He was looking the strongest up there. I think he just slipped. Only Sam, Tyler, Kaitlyn, and Kaycee remain. You can hear the fallen competitors shivering on the logs. Still no blankets or towels for them to warm up with. 7:48 PM BBT FotH for no discernible reason. We're back 2 minutes later. They got towels. 7:52 PM BBT Cheering is getting LOUD. Everyone is hyped up. Kaitlyn comes off. I missed it, but Kaycee is down too. Only Sam and Tyler remain. Tyler asks Sam if she's going to put him up. She assures him she's not and tells him to jump down. "Jump down, damn it! TYLER! Jump! Down!" Someone says, "Remember when you were a robot?" Tyler jumps off. SAM WINS HOH. Everyone is hugging and congratulating her. Sam asks if she's allowed to smoke a cigarette. FotH presumably for them to transition to the inside of the house.

7:04 PM BBT Feeds are BACK. Winston was evicted 6-5 (Rachel, Angela, Kaycee, Sam, Tyler, JC vs. Rockstar, Kaitlyn, Haleigh, Fessy, Bayleigh) HOH comp is endurance, they are standing on tree-like perches that tilt (they look like telephone poles), with wind and rain every so often. So far, none have fallen.

1:30 PM BBT Scottie and Haleigh are in the kitchen crafting fictional tales of their home life. Haleigh has two adopted children with ridiculous backstories, Scottie owns a petting zoo he keeps underground, etc. Rockstar and Kaitlyn are listening idly. It’s kind of cute. They’re trying to one-up each other’s silly stories and play off each other. No game talk here, feeds switch after a while of their "yes, and"-ing. 1:53 PM BBT Rachel and Brett in BY. Rachel suggests that before the next HOH competition, she could try to gain Faysal’s trust by letting him know he’ll be safe if she wins it. She says it could help Brett’s cause. Brett says it’s a terrible idea because Faysal is one of the number one people who are gung-ho about him leaving. Winston comes up briefly. Brett says it sucks being on the block, but he and Winston can hang out outside of the house. Winston says he hopes they will, then leaves. Brett says he was nervous about his delivery (during the veto meeting). He says he wanted to be funny, but also wanted to push the idea that “she” is only here for her personal agenda. He says he lined it up perfectly. He didn’t want to give away too much and have it be used against him this week, but it will go with what he’s going to say on Thursday. Rachel asks if he’s going to say anything about the swing vote, and Brett says he will. She asks what his plan is going forward. Brett says he just wants Scottie to know he’s not an emotional player. He’s not going to let someone blowing up ruin the game. Rachel asks who he would put on the block. Brett says he would put up Rockstar and try to backdoor Faysal, and then slowly pick off that entire side. Rachel asks if he plans on trying to regain Scottie’s trust, since Scottie wants Brett out. Brett says he will, slowly. Rachel says they need to talk about not throwing HOH comps. She wants to make sure everyone in their group is on the same page. She says she didn’t throw the last one, even if it was bad for her personal game to look strong, it was for the alliance. She says it’s not safe for any of them to be throwing comps at this point. They start stretching/working out and not much talk after that.

1:05 PM BBT JC and Faysal in PBR. JC tells Faysal this is the perfect scenario. He says Kaitlyn and Rockstar are making themselves big targets, and if any of the four gets HOH, they’re not thinking about coming for Faysal. He tells Faysal the only thing he needs to do this week is sit back and eat popcorn, and not to check in or share anything with Kaitlyn that doesn’t involve her. 1:08 PM BBT JC is now in the BY on the couch with Winston. Winston says he’s not going to campaign against Brett, but he needs to sit down and tell everyone he wants to stay here. He asks what JC thinks he should start doing. JC tells him he should just go with the flow, talk to people. He says he’s in a tough position. JC says he feels bad, it must be tough being on the block next to his good friend. Winston asks JC to keep him in the know. He says he’ll do a one-on-one with JC tomorrow at some point. JC asks Winston if he threw the most recent HOH comp. Winston says he didn’t. JC says he knew the bro thing was a bad idea and he couldn’t keep up with “you guys” (Winston/Brett). Winston says that he and Brett would have been targets even if they didn’t hit it off, because they’re both physical threats. JC explains that they’re just as threatening as a showmance, because everyone knows they have each other. It makes them a target. He says he likes both of them a lot so it’s hard.

10:16 PM BBT Haleigh and Rockstar in BY talking on the hammock. Haleigh says Tyler will have to be backdoored, and so will Kaitlyn. Rockstar asks if she’s talked to Faysal at all. Haleigh says she tried to talk to him, tried to be kind, but he pissed her off. She says she’s being petty but she’s not talking to him. Rockstar says she and Faysal talked for a long time in the geometry room before he talked to Kaitlyn. It was good. Haleigh says she’s going to let Faysal cool off because he hurt her feelings. Rockstar says this will be the season of backdooring, and Haleigh says it’s the only way. Haleigh says she’s tired of being in this house with these people and needs a day where no one talks to her. She says if she wins HOH, only Rockstar can come into the room. Rockstar says she always saw one of them winning HOH and only the 5 of them would be together in the HOH planning. Haleigh says she doesn’t want anyone up there except Rockstar. She’ll do 1-on-1’s, but she’s not going to have people hanging out talking game because she doesn’t trust anyone in this house. Rockstar says she doesn’t trust anyone either and can’t believe Kaitlyn got so confused. She says Swaggy is sad and would never have done this. Haleigh says Swaggy thought Kaitlyn was loyal. Rockstar says she feels bad because the morning of HOH, she assured the group that they needed to trust Kaitlyn. She says she’s sort of glad she did or else they all would have been screwed. Haleigh says she’s going to put in 45 minutes of social time before she goes to sleep. She gets up to go play pool, and Rockstar goes over to sit with Faysal and Sam on the couches.

9:34 PM BBT Faysal and Tyler are in the HOHR now (F2&3, while Kaitlyn and Swaggy talk in the geometry room on F1&2). Faysal tells Tyler that a few days ago, Kaitlyn told him that Tyler thinks Faysal doesn’t like him. Tyler explains that he knows Kaitlyn and Faysal were close in the beginning and he didn’t want Faysal to feel weird after Tyler got close to her. He says he loves Faysal. Faysal says that no matter what happens, he’s not going to betray Kaitlyn. Tyler agrees. Faysal says he still trust Kaitlyn, but it’s going to be in the back of his mind that she kept this from him. He says he’s never had a female friend that’s not romantic. He’s told Kaitlyn stuff he never tells his guy friends back home. He says he wouldn’t have told Swaggy if Kaitlyn said not to, but he probably would have tried to convince her not to do it and that’s why she didn’t tell him. Tyler says Swaggy thinks he’s the deciding vote, but Tyler doesn’t think so. He thinks some others have already jumped ship. He doesn’t want to tell Swaggy this and make him stop fighting. He says Rockstar knew that Kaitlyn was feeling iffy about Swaggy, he tried to warn Rockstar. He says he didn’t know Rockstar was telling Swaggy not to talk to Kaitlyn this week. Faysal says that after the awkward situation last week, he and Kaitlyn were back to normal, then she goes and does this. He says all week he was hanging out with her and she had this in the back of her mind, that’s what upsets him. Tyler tells him that Kaitlyn was worried about losing Faysal as a friend, nevermind the game. He says Kaitlyn would cry every night and Tyler would have to assure her Faysal would understand. It was tricky for him. Faysal says he would still never put Kaitlyn on the block. He wants her in his life forever and would rather get sent home early than turn on her and get further, than never be able to call her after this. He says as long as Tyler is with Kaitlyn, he would never go after Tyler. Tyler says it’s the same for him. Faysal says Kaitlyn said they’ll play a montage of Faysal saying he loves Tyler and Tyler saying he loves Faysal. He says they have so much in common, why would Tyler think he doesn’t like him? Tyler said they haven’t had a chance to talk until now. Faysal says he sees why Tyler would think that, since he was close with Kaitlyn. He says he normally gets jealous of his girl hanging with other guys, but with Kaitlyn, he doesn’t worry, she’s his best friend. He says he’s confident in his relationship with her and doesn’t worry about the others. Tyler says it’s the same for him, she’s like a sister to him and he would never go against Faysal since Faysal is Kaitlyn’s number one. Faysal says Swaggy is his boy. Tyler says he loves Swaggy and that he would believe it if someone told him they were brothers with different fathers separated at birth. He doesn’t know where the votes are because everyone is so frantic, he doesn’t know how many votes have been pulled. He says regardless, he and Faysal are here next week and people already think they don’t like each other. Faysal says they should keep it that way, let the others think that. He says as long as Tyler knows he would never put up Tyler as long as he’s close with Kaitlyn. Tyler says if either of them turned on each other, Kaitlyn would jump from both of them and probably go find Brett or something. He says he couldn’t do that to her. Faysal says he doesn’t know who anyone would put up next week after HOH. He says there’s no sides now, there’s no line, and asks who Tyler feels comfortable with. Tyler says he trusts Kaitlyn for sure, and that he’s pretty good with Sam. He says Sam trusts him so much because she didn’t go home when he was HOH, even though he didn’t have a vote. Faysal says he likes Sam too and that they’ve bonded. Tyler says he and Bayleigh finally talked tonight and he feels better about her. He asks who Faysal feels comfortable with. Faysal says he feels good with Haleigh, Kaitlyn, and Tyler. He says he has no enemies in the house. Tyler says he likes Scottie and Faysal agrees. Faysal wonders who Brett or Winston would put up if they won HOH. He says it would be messed up if they came after Kaitlyn after this, they owe her a week. He says they’re cool with Haleigh so they wouldn’t put her up. Tyler says Brett and Winston seem cool with everyone and he has no idea where their heads are at. Faysal says shit is getting real. He says one thing is for sure, that girl (Kaitlyn) knows what she’s doing. Tyler says he trusts Kaitlyn’s intuiton. Faysal says they’ll be alright as long as they stay by her. He says she’s the most iconic player in BB history. Tyler says she’ll have to get the power next week, how could she not? Faysal says this little 4’11 girl just did all of this, after all the drama last week, to turn it around and win HOH and make the boldest move of the summer. He says people watching, especially past houseguests, must be like, “Holy shit.” Tyler says, imagine if Swaggy stays on top of that! He asks Faysal if he thinks Swaggy has the power [reminder- Tyler actually has the power]. Faysal says Swaggy doesn’t have it, he wouldn’t have given a 20 minute pitch to Tyler earlier, he would be throwing it in people’s faces. Tyler says they have to play up that they’re still pissed at each other. Faysal says as long as Tyler remembers it’s not real. Tyler says he wanted to talk to Faysal earlier, but had to wait until after the veto so Faysal didn’t question the intention. Faysal says there’s a lot of fake and shady people in this game, telling people what they want to hear. He says Kaitlyn is what makes Tyler and Faysal solidified. He knows Tyler has her best interest in mind and so does Faysal. [Conversation continues but I’ve already detailed it probably a bit much, lol. -NotFornia]

9:04 PM BBT Faysal and Swaggy are in the geometry room. Swaggy is talking about his earlier conversation with Kaitlyn. He says she went from saying she’ll send him home if it’s a tie, to saying she doesn’t know what she’d do. He says it’s a start at least. Swaggy says Haleigh seems down and doesn’t seem to think he’ll have the votes to stay, but he thinks she’ll still give him her vote. Faysal talks about finding out 5 seconds before the veto ceremony. He says Haleigh said she found out right before the ceremony too. Faysal told her he can’t believe the 2 people he trusts the most have turned on each other and he’s in the middle now. He said Haleigh brought up Winston’s comment about showmances and suggested she and Faysal distance themselves from each other. He says now is not the time to distance from people in their alliance when they need each other the most. He says Haleigh is doing that for her own game. Swaggy wants to get JC and Tyler to flip so it will be 7-5 and he won’t have to worry about Kaitlyn breaking a tie. He says it’s messed up that the other side didn’t even have to win HOH for him to go home, it was his own alliance. He’s mad he didn’t get to play for veto. Faysal says he should just try for the 6 vote tie and work on Kaitlyn to break it. Swaggy says he’s focusing on getting Tyler’s vote right now. He wants to talk to Kaitlyn and Tyler together so they can’t mix up their stories. He says if he stays, he’s going to start drama immediately. There’s a long silence. Swaggy says, “How hard is it to swing 2 votes? It’s very hard.” He says it’s hard to know where people stand in this game. Another long silence. Swaggy says, “All these lies and talking.” He says no matter who competes, it’s all lies and he-said-she-said. Another long silence. Swaggy plans what he will talk to Kaitlyn about when she wakes up. He wants to mention that he didn’t get to play for veto. He hopes she’ll believe he won’t go after her and says he wouldn’t lie on his father (he swore on his dad to Kaitlyn that he wouldn’t go after her if he stays). He says he’ll tell her that she can show America it’s okay to forgive, it’s okay to have a change of heart. He doesn’t want to go home from a miscommunication. He says there are 2 aspects: there’s the 500k, and there’s Bayleigh. He doesn’t want her to go to jury and he goes home now and can’t see her the rest of the summer. He doesn’t want to have to depend on there maybe being a battle-back. He says he doesn’t use the phrase “bottom of the totem pole” and believes that lie came from Winston. Tyler comes into the room and tells them he just had a good talk with Bayleigh (they were talking in the WA for a while before this). Swaggy gives his pitch to Tyler. He doesn’t care about Kaitlyn putting him on the block. If he stays, it will be in the past, and he’ll still just go after the other side of the house. Tyler says he has a lot of people he needs to talk to and a lot of stuff to figure out. He’s not sure who’s actually with him and who he really trusts. Swaggy wants to know what he’s done to Tyler personally. Tyler can’t name anything. Swaggy says he gets where Kaitlyn is coming from with the miscommunication, but he’s done nothing to Tyler. He says that if Tyler and Fessy vote for him to stay, then Kaitlyn would break a tie in his favor because her 2 best friends in the house voted to keep him. He wants to know what’s stopping Tyler from voting in his direction. Tyler says that Rockstar is the thing holding him back. He feels she’s been fake to him and that she’s blaming this whole thing on him. He says he’s heard she’s been throwing his name out there. He knows she’s a valuable number but she’s not being real with him and she’s trying to throw this all on him. Swaggy says he understands, but that Rockstar is still voting in his favor so he can’t be mad. He says Tyler knows for a fact that if Swaggy wins HOH, Tyler is safe. He says if he stays, he can talk to Rockstar. Tyler says Rockstar is the only person that hasn’t looked at him since the veto ceremony. Swaggy says Rockstar is upset, but he’s the one on the block and he’s still talking to Tyler and Kaitlyn. He said he hasn’t cursed them out. If they keep him safe, it’s over. He doesn’t want to go home because of a miscommunication with Kait and because Tyler doesn’t trust Rockstar. He would understand if Tyler felt this way about Swaggy, but doesn’t understand if it’s about Rockstar. He says he did call Kaitlyn shady, but never said she was a liability or that she was bottom of the pyramid. He admits to saying he was the leader. Tyler says he told Kaitlyn after Swaggy talked to them in the HOHR that Swaggy was telling the truth about everything. Swaggy says he just needs one more vote to have a tie. He says he hasn’t talked shit on Tyler. Haleigh opens the door, sees them talking, and decides not to come in. Swaggy says he wouldn’t risk lying on his father’s name. He says Rockstar is in his group, but he’s only close in this house with Tyler, Bayleigh, Faysal, and Haleigh. He says he doesn’t know what Winston can offer Tyler, but Tyler knows he’s safe with Swaggy. He says that if he stays, they have a chance to shake up the game. Tyler won’t even have to come into his room if he’s HOH, he’ll just know he’s safe. He says if Kaitlyn put him up as a threat, it would be different, but this is because of a miscommunication. He says boyfriends/girlfriends break up, parents separate, and they are on good terms after or get back together. He says this would be the same, he wouldn’t come after them. He says he’s strategizing left an right and the other side is over there throwing competitions. He said if he goes home, his alliance will go after Tyler’s side. Tyler’s side will go back after Swaggy’s side in turn. He says the 4 floaters will remain untouched and coast all the way to the final 4. He tells Tyler he just wants to make it to jury to be with Bayleigh fo the summer. Kaityln comes in, eating a burrito, which she shares with the others (Except Fessy because he’s a Have-Not this week). Tyler and Fessy say they’re going to talk upstairs in the HOHR, leaving Swaggy and Kaitlyn to talk here in the geometry room. [Switched feeds to the HOHR because Swaggy is probably just going to repeat all of the above to Kaitlyn -NotFornia]
