  1. The results are in! Aren’t you dying to know which HG won today’s POV competition? I was too! This house is about to get even hotter and considering it was 105 while they played that says something! Feeds return and Rachel and Tyler are talking about if Scottie were the one to come down maybe they can swing him to their side. I think that’s a lofty goal. Why do they need Scottie if they take out Soggy? This seems like one of those power has gone to your head moves! Take a breath. I really hope after the excitement of post Veto wears off Tyler sees that is great if Scottie wants to lean their way...he is a floater but they can’t try and make the Level 6 side of the house 9 strong that’s just too many people and he’s a BB superfan! This freaks me out! I’m not the only one freaking out! Oh wait you are dying to know who won and what happened aren’t you? Well...Tyler won the veto and Kaitlin is panicked! Cody was the host of the competition and Kaitlin is definitely feeling some type of way about her interactions with JOdy. Really production?! They’ve already worn out their presence as much as Mr. Pectacular! Stop that! So from what the HG are saying the comp involved putting past HG in order. Eek! That’s terrible that Tyler won! He’s done a superb job hiding the fact that he is a BB superfan and now he has to put former HG in order according to questions/statements? Wow! It doesn’t go unmissed by Soggy from the sound of things! Soggy tells Faysal when he saw the comp he thought there was no way Tyler would win this! From the way it sounds we should all get another epic gut punch shock and awe reaction from Soggy! Now that I’m looking forward to! LOL Tyler’s story is he didn’t think he would win that because he had to guess. Oh boy! I really don’t like this. We’ve seen so many amazing players really work hard and accomplish so much only to push the envelope centimeters too far and lose control of a fast moving train. I really hope that’s not what happens here. This also makes me wonder even more if he got the advantage because he pushes really hard really fast post Veto. When we see Tyler and Kaitlin he also floats the idea of maybe taking Scottie down over Winston if he’s sure they have the votes in Winston’s favor. Again explaining then Scottie owes them and floats in their direction. Problem is Kaitlin is having a complete panic attack at the idea of pissing off all of her friends if she put Soggy up. This is is where I will give her some credit. She should be thinking about how any move she makes will effect her game. As much as I am thrilled she’s drooling over Tyler’s support and encouragement she has to be ready for whatever blow back comes from her HOH. This is exactly why Level 6 was leery of bringing her into the fold too much. She’s now hovering between the two sides and could easily choose to side with Foutte. Plus we now have 2 powers in the game. I think if she has ANY desire to stay loyal to ANYONE in Foutte she really needs to think about how to manage things ahead of the Veto ceremony should she decide to follow through. Look it’s easy to say I’m gonna do this, I want to make a big move, etc...it takes a whole other type of player to actually do it. I’m not confident she has it in her and right now she’s all in her feelings. Kaitlin is convinced Jody didn’t like her and says they both just stared at her. She’s concerned about how people (fans) are feeling about this and is sure Jody’s interactions with her during the comp showed they did not want her to win. We will have to see what the edit looks like. This is Kaitlin. She’s sketched out pretty easily. Unfortunately for all the talking she’s doing about that we may never know. The only positive comes from JC of all people! Bay/Faysal/Soggy all keep discussing that Tyler isn’t with them. Soggy has said numerous times the last couple days of he wins the next HOH he’s putting Kaitlin and Tyler up. Soggy seems a little scared that Tyler is a competitor and has won 2 comps now. According to what JC told Kaitlin, Soggy was talking trash about Tyler all during the competition. JC also tells her that Soggy said he will put up Kaitlin and Tyler but not to worry because they (Level 6 side) has her back! JC couldn’t have had better timing. These are the types of RealiTea Bitez she’s needs to follow through with the plan and replace one of the nominees with Soggy. That’s it for now! Feeds should be lively tonight. Come back tomorrow so we can sip the RealiTea of how everything goes down. I’m happy Tyler won because even if all hell breaks loose, he’s safe this week.
  2. Friday was the first full day of Kaitlin’s HOH and while the morning began very slowly with a lot of tears...there was no shortage of entertaining LF’s! This week as we know is all about Kaitlin and what she can do to help her improve her own game. Or so she thinks. If I had to convey the day in simple terms? Kaitlin wants Soggy’s head on a platter because he said he runs her game (a.k.a Foutte) and no one runs her! Except then she pleas with Tyler to tell her what to do. Angie starts the morning with a meltdown. She was upset last night she didn’t shout out her BF and kids. Now she’s missing her kids and says she didn’t know it would be this hard being away from them. Angie/Bay/Faysal/Haleigh in HOH and Kaitlin in the shower in HOH. Bay/Angie talking. 9:35 am Angie needs to be careful. If it’s perceived she’s missing them too much it can become an excuse to send her home. You know when the season began and it was revealed she was not only leaving her 3 kids for the summer but a 6 month old baby many had concerns after what happened with Keisha on CBBUS. This isn’t resolving those concerns. I will tell you that there are always meltdowns, their human, but this is BB and you always ha s to be aware of what you say. Anything can be made into a reason to send you home. Just ask Vanessa Russo! Kaitlin says they (Level 6) seem way too comfortable. She wants to know why? The power is her goal. Bay says she will be able to get a good read on people during her 1-1’s. Kaitlin says she’s gonna have people come to her. It’s up to them to come to her. JC says he wants to chat but there’s always people in the HOH room. Kaitlin says she can tell people to leave for chats. Good job JC! 10:05 Tyler lets Kaitlin know nominations are today so now she is summoning people. Bayleigh sprays oils to cleanse the aura. Kaitlin is shocked nominations are happening so quickly. She has her 1-1’s before hand. Eventually she gets the dirt she digging for but...as usual these convos give us plenty of insights into how people choose to play their individual games. Kaitlin and Brett convo next up and it’s awful! Both directions these two managed their talking points horribly! 10:26 am It’s clear that Kaitlin is expecting Sam and Level 6 to be bowing at her feet for tossing that vote to save Sam. The first half of these that’s not what she gets because Brett goes up before Tyler communicates the strategy Level 6 should be using. After some tense back and forth between Kaitlin searching for gratitude and demanding it be reciprocated with details from Brett on his power (that he doesn’t have). Brett tries to dance around but a few back and forths and all he really gives her is, “I need to talk to Tyler.” This surprised me to some degree. Brett has shown to be pretty level headed. He also demonstrates through behavior management of Winston that he has a clear understanding that how you act and what you say is everything. Thank goodness for Level 6 just before Winston is about to head up Tyler grabs him and gives him directions. In the meantime Tyler goes to Sam and tells her he wants to tell Kaitlin that Sam has the power. His idea is to claim Sam just told him and she is planning on telling Kaitlin. Sam seems ok with that. Good work Tyler because this looked like it may blow up in your face. Tyler meets with Kaitlin and calms her down. He tells her about Sam and they discuss nominations. Kaitlin runs through a few options and Tyler manages to affirm her greatness and make her question her own ideas until she finally lands on nominating Winston and Scottie. I was listening to a podcast and heard a comparison that nails Tyler’s current relationship with Kaitlin. It’s very Dan Gheesling and Danielle. That nails it! Later in the day this comparison proves to be even more accurate when Faysal comes into play. Then it really reminds me of Dan/Danielle/Shane triangle! Kaycee does an excellent job with Kaitlin. This is really important because one of Kaitlin’s suggestions to Tyler was putting Kaycee up with Winston. We see her tell Tyler that Kaycee has never talked game with her so it would make sense for her to put her OTB. There is a BD plan in play and while Kaitlin wasn’t too concerned with who to put up as pawns, Tyler was. Especially when she made it clear she wasn’t nominating Haleigh, Angie, or Faysal. Oh yeah not Bayleigh either. And she really doesn’t want to nominate any of the girls. 12:15 pm Rachel/Kaitlin Kaitlin tells Rachel she’s not going to touch the block. Kaitlin brings up her VOTE went against everything Rachel plays the “I can FEEL something” happening when that vote question was going on. Kaitlin gives up what made her flip. But she’s staying tight with them. She tells Rachel they (Foute) think the power was used. No girls are going up and I’m going to do a ridiculous BD. Rachel did an excellent job of feeding Kaitlin’s ego. She lathers her in gratitude for saving Sam. She tells her that she was the saving grace and none of this was possible without her and that’s exactly what Kaitlin wants to here. Scottie’s doesn’t go quite as smoothly. He’s definitely willing to spill the most tea of anyone she talks to but very little of that is new information. Even worse is none of it was persuasive enough to keep her from telling him that she’s putting him on the block with Winston as a pawn. Once Kaitlin tells Winston the plan and that he has to go OTB to create the best opportunity to BD Soggy Winston spends the rest of the day running around like a paranoid crazy person. Stick around I will come back to this. From what I see Tyler’s looking like he could easily wind up in the same position this week that Kaitlin felt she was in last week. Kaitlin’s dilemmas began w/concerns that if Haleigh/Faysal get into showmance then she’s neither’s number 1 and that’s not good for her game. Faysal is working Kaitlin hard! He has his 1-1 and uses all his prowess to make her believe he is 100% down for whatever she wants to do. His goal really is to make her feel like she is all good with Foutte and they all trust her implicitly. There’s one comment she evenly makes, “just trust in the universe that what’s going to happen is for the common good.” You can see immediately on his face he doesn’t like the way that sounds. He asks her what does that mean. Fortunately, she starts in on the whole ‘universe gives us what we need’ Mumbo jumbo and by the time she finishes he clearly decides oh that’s just her Hippey talk. What’s more important is what happens later in the day after the BB App Store and before nominations. Now that she’s HOH Faysal is capitalizing on her obsession with him that started all the drama last week in the first place. Now that she’s HOH we find them under the covers by dinner time. This was so juicy at one point in the day that fans everywhere were trying to translate the conversation! Faysal and Kaitlin’s whispering under the covers was stealth and despite being called out by production several times makes it very difficult to hear. There is one point in the undercover convo you can clearly hear and it doesn’t look any better for Tyler than it does for Kaitlin’s boyfriend. You can decide for yourself. *this link includes explicit language Faysal can be heard mentioning they can’t get away with that in here. Going on to be heard saying he’d have to rip the cameras off the wall. After some muffled ruffling you can clearly hear Kaitlin tell Faysal she “wants to f*$# so bad!” You can listen to the clip below and decide for yourself. But from my perspective this could seriously blow up the plan’s Tyler had secures with Kaitlin for the week. I mean kudos I guess do Faysal because he clearly knows how to manipulate Miss Namaneedychick. Tyler cannot allow Faysal to be alone with Faysal too much and that’s not going to be an easy mission. Kaitlin does tell Tyler about some of Faysal and her’s conversation. She tells him enough for him to see Faysal is going to be an issue. Kaitlin share that Faysal told her how much he cares about her which is a plus to his game management (that everyone pretty much tells him everything). On the flip side this also concerns Tyler and his association with Kaitlin and that drawing Faysal’s attention to Tyler. The fact that players like Tyler. Winston, Scottie’s lives in the game are dependent on coo coo for Cocoa Puffs is terrifying! This has quickly turned into a Dan/Daniel+Shane situation. Tyler has been marvelous as steering things directly in an indirect manner but I’ve already seen a couple situations where it could go really badly for him and he just barely manages to escape complete catastrophe with Winston. As if that development isn’t concerning enough for a player like Tyler, I’m VERY concerned with Winston as a ‘pawn’ in the scheme to BD Soggy. Winston is as irrational as Soggy. It’s mind blowing how similar these two players are on opposite ends of the house. Winston is told the plan is to nominate him to appease the other side (Foutte). She wants to keep them feeling like Kaitlin is still on their side. The end goal being wait until Veto is over, hope Soggy doesn’t win it, then BD Soggy. The problem is Winston is the crazy uncle in the house! This guy is unstable and relying on him to keep his cool and not muck up the plan is a HUGE risk I think isn’t worth the reward. They should have chosen someone else. Use Brett! Throw Angela up there. Put Kaycee up with Scottie!!! Sadly the rest of the day we see Winston spiraling. He’s flipping out all day and what concerns me is I don’t think even Brett can stop this runaway train. We’ve watched Winston repeatedly talk about things they group has agreed not to. Last week as soon as he found out Sam had the power he immediately started doing and saying things in front of others that if paying attention were obvious indicators Sam was staying in the game. Winston tells Angela that Sam is a wild card. She’s volatile, doesn’t know the game, isn’t that smart, doesn’t understand strategy and he knew they shouldn’t have kept her. He’s going to tell her to shut up and then convince her to use her power on him. Look, this made for such an entertaining day of feeds. He rambles on and on all day. He’s at a 10 about being nominated week 2 and between his crazy eyes and aggressive whispering LF’s had to be laughing and glued to the feeds to see just how extreme his outburst would become. I hope we see Winston working out 24/7 with Brett all week. I think that may be the only chance antics won’t lead to a complete meltdown. This also increases the odds of Winston actually ending up making himself the real target amongst his own team. I know I wouldn’t want someone as volatile and irrational as he is on my squad. That being said there should be no shortage of entertaining feeds. After the Level 6 workout crew uses the LR to get their fitness on Bayleigh has her own meltdown. She’s feeling very insecure and allowing her own body issues to ruffle her feathers. For all of Winston’s faults and OTT perceptions of things in the house Winston is really trying to be sincere and encouraging to Bay last night. However it starts she is having an emotional day (all players have them) and he tries to encourage and empathize on a human level with her and it’s actually nice to see him extend the olive branch to his known enemy. Click here to view Winston attempting to console Bayleigh. After all of that Bayleigh decides that for Winston’s kindness he deserves a good old fashion read! Bay handles this terribly! I understand she’s upset but her reaction is absolutely the exact opposite from what any player in this game should do She suddenly starts waiving her finger and telling him that she doesn’t like him. He’s not nice. Blah blah blah. We see this upset him enough because he runs back to Brett and later Angela and replays how she twisted a genuine moment into an attack on Winston. In this game we always see certain stages where HG’s begin to unravel. They were in sequester prior to entering the house. Then they were there for a week before feeds went live. Now we are two weeks into the broadcast season. A month in is typically when we see the first signs of players feeling emotions very strongly. They miss their families. They’ve been locked inside for 4 days straight again. The first person has been evicted and the reality of what this game involves hits them. My point is I understand why some are have meltdowns. However, a great player knows when, where, and how to have a meltdown. That’s alone in the DR or secluded with that one person that has their back and they can vent to without worrying too much about being vulnerable. Players should never let the whole house see them meltdown it’s a quick way to become the target. Rachel does mildly better after be BB App Store reveals she’s the least trending HG. Rachel chose the “Yell” app. We find out during ‘family dinner’ when someone decides everyone should share their highs and lows for the day. Rachel’s response? “My low was finding out I’m the least trending HG. I don’t have a high. When the feeds had returned from the filming of this segment Rachel can be seen crying. She suspects she got it because of last week’s incidents that led to her and Angela being reminded they are being filmed 24 hours a day. I was happy to see by last night she decides not to let it affect her too much and just roll with the punches. She plans to be a good sport about it, but you know this brought back that same level of emotions the warning had. We still don’t have confirmation on who got the power app. Based on what I saw...Soggy’s likely not the recipient. He had plenty of private moments with Bayleigh and it’s more likely than not he would have told her. Same goes for Bay. What do I think? Based on last week and the show’s edits I would be surprised if Tyler didn’t get it! He had a very good 1st HOH. He’s very likable on the show and he did save Sam who got last weeks power. Also, with Kaitlin flipping and then getting HOH fans (especially the casuals) are likely to have been worried that Tyler could be in trouble if she goes back with Foutte. This morning we had the veto drawing. The veto players are: Kaitlin-HOH, Winston/Scottie-nominees, then Tyler, Rachel, and Faysal. That’s not a bad draw. We will have 5 players playing to help Kaitlin make her plan come to fruition versus Faysal. Faysal of course gets himself all pumped up sure he’s going to win. Haleigh tries to tell him that winning POV two weeks in a row may not be the best look. Angie tries to back up Haleigh and tell Faysal that if he wins again it makes him a bigger threat. Haleigh tells him that if he wins again he will be seen as a bigger threat than Soggy and that’s not good for his game. Faysal’s response? Oh no, when I win again I am going to be seen as a POV beast and no one will want to target me! They will be terrified and never dare put me up. HAHAHAHAHAHA! This guy! He’s all over the place and one of the worst strategic minds in the house. His social game isn’t all that strong either so he’s relying on his physical presence to carry him. He’s in for a rude awakening. Why? Let’s talk about Kaitlin’s strategy right now. Foutte is overlooking the swing vote for now because she’s HOH. Kaitlin wants them to believe she is still 100% Team Foutte for now. She wants Soggy’s butt gone because of the things he’s been saying about her being on the bottom of the totem pole. She also wants to stick it to him because he said he runs things on that team and they all do what he tells them to do. Tyler certainly performs like a GPS for her. She doesn’t know exactly how to get where she wants so he’s happy to give her some indirect directions. He does is subtly enough that it’s her saying it and not him but we can all see that like Dan used Danielle’s worship, Tyler is using her vulnerability to manage her. Soggy is finally pretty sure that Tyler is with Level 6. Took him long enough! Really the only reason he finally clings to this is because he overheard Angela talking about Foutte wants to face off with US we are ready bring it on. Then she goes on to list the people on her side and Tyler’s name was included. Let’s fast forward to later today. Soggy is unraveling after veto draw. He’s pissed he’s neither playing or hosting. He has various rants which eventually lead to him (while with Bayleigh) telling us (America): “ if they give me a power next week I don’t even want it. ‘F’ you America!” Yep! That’s a direct quote ladies and gentlemen. (sigh). I swear this is going to be such a long wait to the veto ceremony. Winston is going bananas threatening to blow the house up if he’s still OTB come eviction night. Soggy is giving the finger to fans because it’s the first time he realizes that HE’S NOT running the house. Kaitlin is such an emotional spaz! I need Jesus this week to endure all these whiny self absorbed unaware characters that are at the center of it all this week. The one consolation is that because of all the insanity the feeds have been non stop entertainment! I mean I just crack up at Winston’s crazy eyes and empty threats. Soggy’s delusions are a little less comical but entertaining just the same. There you have it! That’s the RealiTea from yesterday and this morning. It’s early in the week and if you know anything it’s that how the weeks begins and how the week ends is rarely the same. Just ask Steve? Feeds have been down a while so watch for an update once we know who won! That’s going to have the biggest push in what direction we are headed into the Veto ceremony. If Kaitlin is able and willing to do what she says the latter half of the week should be EXPLOSIVE! Either way the ball bounces.

  4. Just a quick RealiTea Bite before the sun sets on the first full day of Kaitlin’s HOH. Check back tomorrow for the full rundown of her 1-1 convos and what they revealed. We had BB App Store open for business this afternoon. I can’t confirm which HG got the power yet but based on dinner conversation Rachel seems to be the recipient of the crap app and she says that was the worst part of her day and she has nothing good to share. Feeds just returned and the nomination ceremony has happened. Sounds like Kaitlin went ahead and brought up the suspicion about Winston being a doctor. Winston of course was one of her nominations and Scottie was the other. Winston supposedly put up to appease Foutte and keep them feeling comfortable. Scottie is a seat filler, easy to target the guy with no friends you don’t have to worry about his allies coming for you. Ultimately by the time the nominations ceremony began she planned these noms with the goal of taking a BD (backdoor) shot at Soggy. What? Yep! Tyler had a great chat with her but this was all her. She feels like he is the problem in Foutte and he is the one saying she’s dispensable so she wants to fire the first shot! I’m not getting excited about this plan. This is BB and this is, like I said, the first day of her HOH week. Anything could change that plan. Veto plauers were drawn Saturday morning. Faysal, Tyler, and Rachel along with HOH-Kaitlin and nominees-Winston and Scottie. Soggy is having a private temper tantrum with the camera because he is neither playing in Veto not hosting the comp. Faysal is certain he should win veto again this week and it will make him such a beast no one will dare come for him. LOL. Haleigh and Angie try to explain he doesn’t need to win 2 vetos back to back and that would make him a bigger target than Soggy! It’s Faysal he won’t listen. There you have it! If I sniff out the RealiTea on which HG was trending and received the BB app I will come back and update you here. Otherwise join me tomorrow for the full scoop on all of today’s events.
  5. Last night’s eviction episode was a LF’s dream! Want drama? Excitement? Twists and turns that leave you wondering what will happen? Well, this was what we got! When the feeds went down we knew Kaitlin was leaning towards voting as Tyler wanted which would make it 7-6 to send Steve home and save Sam. But she told Angie and Haleigh the whole scenario and with 2 hours to live eviction anything could happen. When the votes come in Steve says goodbye to all the HG after being evicted by a vote of 7-6 it sent as shockwaves across BB fandom as it did across Soggy and Bayleigh’s faces! Faysal, Soggy, and Bayleigh were completely blindsided. Of course the only HG out of 16 I can’t stand to listen to takes center stage again this week. Why do the BB gods punish me so? The girl who has spent the first two weeks always making herself the center of attention betrays her team (Foute) which in BB typically is the next person to be targeted. No instead she will be the center of attention all day every day for the next 7 days! I need a vacation from the feeds already this week. 7:01 pm Feeds return Tyler/Fay/Soggy in SR discussion about the vote/power. Bros walk in, Tyler slides his way out as soon as the Bros walk in and Winston says, “cool meeting.” Soggy is like what? What did you say? Fays is giving Soggy looks like what is that? W-I said cool meeting, with what ya’ll are trying to... S-with what’s up? W-repeats “I said cool meeting. With what ya’ll are doing.” S-we can’t talk to Tyler? What we can’t talk to Tyler? W-You can do whatever you want bro. S-alright then. Soggy and Winston are the same player type on opposite sides of the house. String arrogant dominant males who think they are the best guy in the room (both would be wrong). This exchange increases the tension for the night with Bay/Rockstar trying to calm Soggy down, telling him to just chill and reel him back in. Brett on the other side is telling Winston to chill but to Angela he’s like Winston needs to realize it’s early and he can’t be giving them a reason to put him up this early. This exchange becomes the focus as the nights continues. These two measuring themselves against each other doesn’t bode well with either team. Tyler was very smart to exit and keep it moving. If you ever play BB don’t leave yourself in the mix when people are butting heads. Kaitlin is seen with Team Foute for about 20-25 min after the live show ends and feeds return. She exclaims she’s going to find out about the power. Kaitlin repeatedly tells everyone she will be holding 1-1’s in the HOH room. She says it over and over and I see my own future through her aura! Wow what power because I foresee myself with feeds on Mute 22 hours a day this week while she’s HOH! 7:18 pm Kaitlin tells Angie, Haleigh, and Faysal they are not an option. Scottie goes to Soggy to tell him he voted for Steve to stay. Soggy tells Scottie he knows that he wasn’t the swing vote while Bayleigh tells others she’s certain Scottie was. By 8:50 pm Soggy is climbing the walls. Literally he’s rock climbing his frustrations away in the living room as Faysal sits on the couch being his audience. Then he starts demanding the cameras look at him. Foute is chasing their tails trying to figure out where the vote came from...Scottie? Angie? Faysal is like there is no way Kaitlin did it...”she wouldn’t flip on us this early. (Now remember Angie and Haleigh know who did it.). Kaitlin is seen asking Tyler who she should target? Tyler plays this well. He asks her who she wants? She says Tyler is smarter than she is. I wish I could report that Kaitlin has the house figured out and is using that to manipulate Tyler and infiltrating Level 6 so Foute can use Tyler to make Level 6 believe she’s with them to get as much info as possible. That’s not the case. Kaitlin winning HOH was the best case scenario for her game. Foute is chasing their tails trying to determine where the swing vote came from. Soggy seems pretty convinced it’s Angie because she was the one that proposed voting for Sam to pin votes on the Bros. Remember Foute was positive the vote was going to be 13-0 or at the very least 9-4. They NEVER thought Steve would go home. Had Kaitlin not won HOH those suspecting it may have been Kaitlin would be paying a lot more attention to that. Since she has the HOH this week they will let it go and part of them wants to believe there’s no way she would flip. Here’s where they are their own worst enemies. 90% of the time they are talking game and planning things but they have a terrible read on the house most the time. This is why they were able to be blindsided. 9:09 pm HOH reveal. By 11pm Foute has claimed the HOH as their own and while Kaitlin is clearing Scottie’s chakra outside the HOH Foute plans ‘their’ HOH without her. They have no confirmation of who the rogue vote was. Some say Scottie, others questioned if it was Kaitlin, and Tyler is convincing them that he’s convinced it was Brett’s power that somehow switched the votes but this one is the only idea shot down because Scottie and Soggy both say Julie would have told the HG the power was used. For now. Tyler can play dumb for now because no one thinks Tyler knows the game. I don’t see this lasting all week.Someone will Spill the beans that Tyler swayed Kaitlin because Angie and Haleigh both know the truth. Soggy overhead Angela talking about her ‘squad’ and Tyler’s name was included so NOW all of a sudden he’s had a come to Jesus moment and realized Tyler is with Level 6 and he can’t tell him things anymore. These players need to be a lot more careful of who’s around when they talk! It happens a lot they didn’t see someone in the room when they start talking or don’t check the surrounding rooms. Great feeds because it’s messy but terrible for the game. Way to go mastermind King of the BB house. Bayleigh has been trying to tell you for two weeks! Her read is way better than his but it’s not a bad idea for her to keep him out front because as the days pass Soggy is a shield. It’s a tightrope walk for her though because she’s also easily seen as a means to target Soggy by going after her if they can’t get him. Prior to the new HOH happening Level 6 all said they would nom Bay/Faysal and make Soggy choose between his BF and his GF if he managed to win the veto. If he doesn’t then they can consider BD Soggy. That’s the smartest play! I don’t see Tyler having enough influence to sway Kaitlin to do that. Kaitlin has done a decent job of playing off the vote. She acted shocked and questioned who the vote came from. I don’t think it would have deflected from her as well if she wasn’t HOH. Foute plans to have one member in the HOH with Kaitlin at all times so she is never alone with anyone else in the house. Too bad Kaitlin has already asked Tyler what she should do because he’s smarter than her and asked him to sleep in the HOH with her tonight. They expect the Bros or Angela and one of the bro’s to be Kaitlin’s targets. I don’t see that happening either. This won’t last because Tyler has already volunteered to be a HN along with Haleigh, Angela. The way that comp played out with so many zero’s it doesn’t seem likely the losers can be made HN’s this week and likely she will be given the task again. Brett is laying it on thick with Kaitlin. It’s clear she needs tons of attention and physical contact and both he and Tyler know it and are playing that to keep her feeling good about Level 6. After midnight Faysal tells Bayleigh and Soggy that if they want to keep Haleigh and Kaitlin with Foute Brett needs to go soon. Now he’s not all wrong here. He correctly identified that’s the one real personal connection Haleigh (especially) and Kaitlin both have on the opposite side. Oh yeah and Tyler but his name isn’t mentioned. My take is Faysal’s sudden revelation has more to do with his jealousy than the game. This is exactly why Tyler knows to distance himself a bit from Haleigh. Every thing Faysal sees and interpret is screened through his obsession with Haleigh and that will be what ends his game. Kaitlin gets drunk so there’s no real discussions about nominations. She made it clear to everyone she will be holding court in the HOH to have 1-1’s with everyone tomorrow. What will be interesting to see is how she manages Foute’s goal to ALWAYS have one member in the HOH with her at all times. If they try to wiggle their way in and be present while she talks to people will she allow it? If she doesn’t how will she manage telling/explaining they need to go? Will she ask Tyler to sit in? I think she’s likely going to want to be alone with people because this is her chance to hear what they say and make her own assessments. She’s already said her goal is to figure out the power. Will Sam tell her? Will the others tell her? If they do that could swing her further Level 6’s way. Right now she’s able to hover between the two sides. Both teams are aware of that. Both teams will Want her to prove which team her allegiance is to now. How she handles that will have a huge influence on her potential longevity heading into next week. Foute is back to 6. Kaitlin being HOH regardless of which side of the house she ultimately lands with she’s not a vote for Foute this week. Fortunately for them with Steve gone they have Scottie to fill that number loss. Angie and Haleigh really seem to be waivering on the Foute team. We see them talking a lot! Sorry their whisper game is STRONG! They have the best handle on things out of that group, especially Angie. They won’t jump ship yet, but it’s gonna happen and I need to see Angie collecting some more allies in the house like Haleigh has. Level 6 however don’t lose a number in Kaitlin being HOH. In fact they gained Sam! This gives them 7+JC so even if 2 of them were to go up votes could tie and Kaitlin would break it. My impression is Tyler has more pull right now. The major factor will be what’s told to her today before nominations. The one takeaway I got from all the aftermath of the live show is Scottie has a better read on the house than anyone in Foute and most in Level 6. He goes to Soggy right away. Scottie shows anger towards the Bros for voting Steve out. He shares his displeasure with Foute and says he would target those two for lying to his face. He also acts just sad enough about losing Steve. Scottie played this very well. You can tell by the convos others have. We hear the bro’s talk and they believe Foute thinks Brett had the power and used it. To their credit it was discussed and that is what Tyler shares he thinks happened. However Foute knows the show and dismissed the chance that’s what happened. Winston says Foute still thinks they have Kaitlin. Brett points out its to easy for her to still jump back to the other side. They both agree Scottie is a rat and neither feels bad for voting Steve out. They say they will never trust Scottie. Bayleigh wants Winston gone and feels like Brett would be cool without Winston here. Scottie points out that Brett is the more dangerous of the 2. He’s exactly right! Scottie also tells Bay that he doesn’t trust Haleigh. She’s too flirty with all the guys and they both realize she’s covered at all angels because she flirts with Brett, Tyler, and Faysal. This makes Scottie suspect Haleigh flipped. He’s wrong there but every other thing out of his mouth is spot on. This is the most I’ve heard him talk. Usually it’s just him running information he’s heard back to Soggy. Problem is Foute doesn’t see Scottie to be as valuable as he really is. I will pay attention to these ‘chats’ today. I think for today Kaitlin is still under a strong enough spell of anything is brought to light about Tyler she will dismiss it and probably even run it back to him. That would be great for him because it identifies who he needs to watch out for. Foute is so far off the mark on many things the dirt they will try to bring Kaitlin pretty much already knows thanks to Tyler reeling her in. That’s all the RealiTea on the blow back from the glorious blindside last night! I love the fact we don’t have a whole ‘house vote’ happening. This was a fantastic start to the season and it should only get better from here!

  7. Julie has told us that if Sam is evicted she and the power come into play Sam will have to complete a task Julie gives her to re-enter the game! I had to jump in and spill the RealiTea! If the vote comes down to Sam being evicted, Sam stands up and says not so fast! I have a +1 power. She is given a ‘task’ by Julie (sounds like what they did in BBOTT). If she completes the task she’s right back in the game! It’s good to know what to expect heading into tonight! You can hear it from Julie in the video below. Not sure how much of a ‘power’ this is? It’s an advantage but not a power if she has to ’earn’ her way back in the game, but I will take it! I have already said the chance she won’t be able to is slim to none. That would be a flop for the show but then again production does seem like they want to troll us sometimes, can you imagine them blindsiding us?! Tune in tonight and come back here for how this crazy week ends.
  8. It’s Eviction day! There’s a lot happening in the house this morning. This vote is still swinging back and forth the last 24 hours. I’m thrilled with that! It’s so much better than the standard ‘let’s vote with the house.” Definitely better than, “we need to do what the HOH wants...it’s so and so’s HOH so we should vote how they want.” The floaters have really been the center of the game this week. With Foute committed to vote for Steve to stay. He’s buddied up with that side of the house all week long and by the end of this first week Steve is trash talking the Level 6 side of the house. Up until last night Steve has really worked hard to make a connection with the Bro’s. So well in fact Tuesday night Winston and Brett have a whole convo about still not liking the idea of voting for Sam to stay because Steve has buddied up enough to make them feel like they can pull Steve when they need him and they have no real connection with Sam. That, ‘I’m thinking about MY game not the group’ mentality leads Brett/Winston to go to Angela and Rachel yesterday and start making the arguments to why the girls should vote to evict Sam as well. Tyler has put in so much work all week and done it very well. So when we start to see the Bro’s waiver in one room while Tyler is in another room really pushing the envelope with Kaitlin to swing her vote secure a 7th vote he thinks they need is riveting feeds but cringeworthy for Tyler and Sam nonetheless. Steve is a floater. He doesn’t belong to a team and he’s OTB. So, he’s the eldest of the cast, no ‘team’ technically, and OTB. This week wasn’t looking great when it began if you’re a long term BB fan because this typically is a position this player is certain to be the first one voted out. The one fault I see is Steve was verbally overconfident frequently and this got people talking. He should play his cards a tad closer to his chest. All in all up until Tuesday night he’s made sure to socialize with both sides. Appear swayable to players on both sides of the house and created a duo with Scottie which by appearances makes other HG’s see saving Steve as a +2 in voting next week. Scottie has not been as invisible as he perceives he has been. He’s on Level 6 radar as a rat that runs everything back to Soggy C. Problem is despite everything that’s happened this week, Soggy C tells Tyler everything all the time! I mean he walked in the HOH just yesterday and tells Tyler which HG are 100% in his group. Where the votes are. This morning Soggy goes to Tyler complaining about how he can’t trust Kaitlin (who is supposed to be team Foute). He goes on to say she’s at the bottom of the totem pole, no one in the group knows if they can trust her, that he’s at the top and she’s at the bottom. He tells Tyler that Soggy makes all the decisions and everyone does what he says. Point. Blank. And the period. I will circle back to this in a few. So all week it’s looked more likely than not it would be a 6-6 vote where the teams are involved and either side needed to secure one vote from a floater to control who goes home and as we’ve seen that has made all the floaters centers of attention. Foute focuses on Steve/Scottie with Scottie being the vote to keep Steve. They’ve been counting Haleigh as one of their side but she’s isn’t actually involved in Foute and isn’t completely aware there is a 5 person alliance within what she perceives a 6 person Team. Foute is actually Kaitlin, Faysal, Angie, Bay, and Soggy. Tuesday Soggy finally tells Haleigh about team Foute (original 5 shes neither aware of nor a part of). We don’t immediately see any consequences to this revelation but it will come back into play this morning. So with floaters Steve and Scottie leaning FOUTE. Haleigh believing she is Foute but also working Tyler, Brett, getting in right with some players on the other side she has set herself up with the potential to have some people to float over to should the other side, Level 6, get power or if something happens with Foute. This is the right way to play the game. Her flirting has caused some drama but she’s still shaped some personal connections throughout the house and you never want to be naive enough to put all your hopes in one basket, especially this early in the game. I’ve seen a nice difference this season with most of these HG this season. Most are not not getting so boxed in by week 1 decisions where they have no where else to look for safety or a vote when the situation comes they need it. This is BB that situation always comes! Haleigh has mended her friendship with Kaitlin. These Two have mutually said they should vote the same way every week. No matter what. She’s seen as a plus for Tyler as much as she sees Tyler as a plus for her. The flirting and showmance love triangle has calmed down since Monday night. Haleigh is friendly with Brett and although she worries Winston doesn’t like her she realizes the opportunity being friendly with Brett could result in a Brett +1. The Bro’s are so tightly intertwined. Brett and Winston in fact are the only sure thing in the house! These two are 100% a duo, ride or die, I can never see anything even slightly penetrating the pair. Tyler is technically hovering the line and could be considered a floater. He is Level 6. He is a part of this ‘team’ but hears where his floater tendencies prevent him from locking himself into just a team. Tyler used the HOH to gain information and then through that was able to identify which HG are fluid. Which he sees can be a valuable asset, that can be potentially swayed through a connection with him and feed enough to both teams that both sides see him as leaning more to their side than the other. That’s no easy feat! Early in the week with the game he and Haleigh were playing with each other he thought she may be the easiest to swing a vote from. We saw he invested a lot of time and energy into her. That changes up after all the love triangle drama happened. He was smart to see that for what it was. Tyler sees the love triangle as a clear indication that she’s not going to be easily enough swayed. Also that the involvement with Foute is much deeper than she was wanting him to believe. The most important thing Tyler takes away from it is that he needs to create some subtle distance from Haleigh because hanging out with her is drawing some uncomfortable attention to Tyler by Faysal. Tyler says he does not want a target on his back because Faysal is jealous. Very well done Tyler! Tyler regroups. His relationship with the last floater in the house which is JC. JC is clearly more fond on Level 6 for now. JC’s been overconfident he could secure the 7th vote, continuously telling people don’t worry about it. I have the 7th vote. You don’t worry, don’t ask questions just know ‘hey I got this!’ This was so overpowering that his confidence has many believing JC has the power or at the very least knows who has the power. There’s no other explanation on Level 6 side of the things. JC has nothing but I like his willingness to play the game. He has a decent mind for strategy when you listen to him. He doesn’t have as many ‘confusing’ moments as I would have expected in conversations about the game with others. JC/Tyler/Haleigh are each all still pretending their trio alliance is a thing despite everyone involved knowing it’s not. JC/Tyler talk about Haleigh. Tyler/Haleigh talk about JC. Tyler uses all that information to nudge each floater in a direction he needs them to go to help his goal which is to get 7 votes so Steve goes. Again that way Sam stays without having to use her power and the power stays in play which could potentially be used to Tyler’s advantage over the next couple weeks if need be. Tyler’s relationship with Sam has continued to blossom. This friendship makes her a potential number for Level 6 because she should be grateful to the players who save her. It also shows Sam that Tyler can be counted on which benefits his individual game. This is so important! Tyler has really done a brilliant job all Week working all angles of the house. The down side is that has resulted in balancing a lot of plates all at once. You have to remember what you said to who, who knows what info, being careful to remember what each player and team says and does. He has to be exhausted and it’s really arduous to continue to do so without something or everything come crashing down around you. I love watching it! However, I’m cautiously optimistic because a power change creating a threat to someone like Winston, Soggy, Faysal, Haleigh, Angela could result with people spilling everything they know. If they get power and seek out information or become the new HOH target they would quickly spill Tyler’s tea from their side and immediately blowing all that hard work up in Tyler’s face. Which ends up happening to less degree last night. Sam has a convo with Scottie trying to swing his vote and she reveals too much! She tells Scottie that she just needs one swing vote to stay and it’s coming down to either Scottie Or Kaitlin. That’s news to Scottie and to Foute! Which of course in true rat form Scottie runs Right back to Soggy and tells him. Hey the votes are 6-6 with one swing vote which shocks Soggy and Steve! Steve was so cerain he had at least 9 votes to stay. Now the night before eviction to there are potentially 6 against him? Steve immediately gets pissed at Winston and Brett! He walks by Winston this morning and makes a comment along the line “wow good job bro! Bravo you had me!” and keeps walking. Real subtle on EVICTION day Steve. As I told you a few days ago Angie/Haleigh discussed throwing 2 hinky votes from Foute so the Bro’s look like they didn’t vote to keep Steve because that side was so sure there were plenty of votes to evict Sam and they don’t want Steve to think the Bro’s have his back! Foute discusses the idea and agreed as long as they feel like they have all the votes they need Angie and Haleigh could throw the hinky votes and that would have much for such glorious TV and a huge blindside! I rarely get excited about how a vote appears because after 20 seasons of BB there is really one sure thing the votes can and often do change right up until eviction voting happens! We Lose feeds mid day, some wheeling and dealing or a blow up happens and BAM! So now Scottie telling Soggy blows any chance Foute screws up their own plans. Sam tells Tyler what was said and he knows Scottie ran that right back to Soggy and tells Sam about Scottie being a rat for Foute. Tyler knows the work he started after the love triangle blow out with Kaitlin is his only hope of getting that 7th vote. But wait! Winston and Brett have now made their own plan and go to Rachel and Angela last night like hey, we need to keep Steve. We don’t want to vote Sam. So we are back on the hamster wheel! SO much work has gone into trying to get the votes to keep Sam and it looked like there were 3-4 scenarios where it could actually happen and in a couple of seconds Two floaters threw all of that work out of the window! I’m screaming at Sam like NOOOOO! Didn’t your mama tell you that just because someone tells you they’re your friend doesn’t mean they are! Scottie’s little bit of effort to befriend the robot and make her not feel so isolated just paid off huge for Scottie because Foute is up in the wee hours saying everyone votes Sam out! It gets intense enough that Faysal/Soggy tell Kaitlin if their is a Rogue vote we will know it was you and we will target you! Meanwhile Tyler is doing damage control up in the HOH last night just after midnight trying to snuff out any talks of voting to keep Steve without having to give up too much info. It volleys back and forth and back and forth and you can see on Tyler’s face he is ready to lose his mind because Winston is throwing out his ridiculous perceptions and still convinced the other side has a power. Tyler finally breaks and says SAM has the POWER WE have to vote for Sam to stay!!!!! BOOM! The whole room erupts with excitement (except Angela) and now they will all vote to keep Sam and pray Tyler can swing Kaitlin. Angela is sitting on by bed quietly while everyone else is jumping up and down and bursting with excitement at the news. So what does she say? Mmmm now I don’t know. I don’t trust Sam because she hid this power from me a little too well. The night ends with Tyler telling Level 6 if his hair is down vote to evict Steve. If he wears his hair up vote to evict Sam. I say there is not chance we won’t get to admire those beautiful blonde locks tonight! As far as Angela. Tyler manages to explain away Sam keeping it a secret just enough. When I heard her say it I was like, ‘Omg! I’m beyond annoyed with that! She rarely opens her mouth and that’s what she takes away from this news! Jeez.’ So now it’s eviction day! Soggy heads to the HOH and spills more tea to Tyler about how his side isn’t trusting Kaitlin. They don’t know she’s with them. She’s on the bottom of the totem pole, yada yada yada. Thank you Soggy for always managing to do exactly opposite of what you should in nearly every single situation. Hahahaha. Tyler of course tells Kaitlin and the waivering shifts immediately. While he tells her not to say anything she runs straight to Haleigh like I’m out! There is a power in play. Anyone that votes for Steve to stay is in danger. Soggy told Tyler I’m unreliable and no one on Foute trusts me. I trust Tyler we need to vote to evict Steve. Eventually Angie joins the convo and Kaitlin tells Haleigh and Angie she’s voting for Sam to stay. Kaitlin says they can do what they want but Soggy isn’t loyal to her. She’s encouraging those two to vote for Sam to stay as well but regardless she is. It’s about that time we lose feeds. Will this hold until the live show and eviction votes? Who knows. It was exciting feeds. We are left with the hope it’s possible but either way there’s a really strong chance Sam won’t go home if she is evicted. If the power is nothing more than a ‘chance’ it’s unlikely production would build all this up to make her do some task and then go home anyways. What’s really on the line is will Steve go? I don’t think Steve leaving hurts anyone’s game. I mean Scottie will be sad and have to do some work, but he’s not a real threat to anyone alone in the game so it won’t put him in immediate danger and Tyler made sure to tell Sam not to trust Scottie. Tonight could be a blindside either way. Worse case is Sam gets voted out and she will likely return and it’s like a complete reset. It’s mind blowing of all the conspiracy theories about the power all week not one person considered America would vote the Robot has most trending. This week 2 HOH will be huge. I could see Scottie winning it if Steve leaves tonight just so he feels safe and allows him opportunities to make some alliances. It’s been an exciting first week and one thing is certain EVERY single player in the game is here to PLAY! Come back after eviction to get all be RealiTea on event from the eviction and the fallout after.

  11. Level 6 The social drama in the house is off the charts and as always it begins to effect the foundations of teams. Yesterday I introduced Foute as a team and dished on the players both individually and collectively are playing the game. Level 6 is today’s focus and why this team seems much more stable to me than Foute but still has some ripples that have my attention. Level 6 is comprised of: The Bros (Winston/Brett), Angela, Rachel, Tyler, and Kaycee. Currently the Bros are the two of this group that are the wild cards. Winston is a loose canon and he’s lucky to have found a ‘ride or die’ in Brett because he keeps Winston from making game ending mistakes for the time being. These two are so comical to watch. I mean granted I never in a million years would have thought in a pairing of these two Brett would be the voice of reason but he tends to be just that. I don’t want it to make Brett sound stable, just of these two he is the one more co conscious of how actions are perceived in the game. To his credit, Winston is playing for Winston despite being in this Level 6 alliance for now. Not to say he’s playing well, lol, he’s just making decisions based on he he wants his game to play out before Level 6 goals. The rest of the group was easily persuaded by Tyler to vote to keep Sam but he took a little more cajoling and I’m still not completely confident whether he and Brett will vote how their team has collectively agreed to. I mean this guy is certain there will be a double eviction this week. The two of them together can’t keep track of the days or even what day of the week it is nevertheless how many players are still in the house! They had a 20 minute circular conversation over the weekend trying to count how many guys there are in the house and kept coming up with 7! They are attached at the hip bro’ing it up 24/7! Even though they spend the majority of their time just the two of them, Brett manages to carve out some social time with others, mutually flirting with Haleigh as well as some suspect interacting with Rachel. Rachel is aggressive in her flirting and I can’t quite determine if she’s genuine or it’s just her personality she’s using to keep Brett locked down with Level 6. That’s another thing to watch. Beyond the Bromance every other player on Level 6 has managed to allow themselves to fade into the background in an effort to make Foute feel as powerful and comfortable as possible during Tyler’s HOH. While we are on the subject. As I said Tyler is attempting to ensure all of Level 6 and JC vote to keep Sam without telling them why. He’s been great at keeping Sam’s power a secret and using that intel to help his game as well as Level 6’s position heading into the next HOH. If 6 players vote to keep Sam and they fail to flip one vote from somewhere else in the house when Sam does use her power Tyler can secure Sam with, “ see I told you these people here we’re going to vote to keep you and I’m loyal to my word.” Tyler is the main reason that Level 6 is far more cohesive than Foute. This literally couldn’t have played out more perfectly if Tyler had scripted it himself. While Foute isn’t 100% certain Tyler is on their team they see him as an asset this week and have been willing to overlook some obvious signs he’s not. Which is amazing for Tyler at the moment because damn near everyone in the house feels they can confide in him. It’s more than he’s the HOH and they are kissing up, although that’s what set him up for it. Tyler has made everyone feel comfortable and managed week 1 HOH to be the least threatening HOH I’ve seen in several seasons. JC gravitates to him and believe he has a strong enough bond to consistently be over confident in his abilities to guarantee he can secure the 7th vote needed to save Sam. JC is overconfident but in a non-threatening way and as I’ve mentioned everyone knows to be cautious of what they talk about in front of him because he has no sensor as many of you that saw the TMZ report are aware. Saving Sam would be best case scenario for Level 6 but Tyler can’t tell them why. If she is voted to stay they eliminated a floater (Steve) who leans towards Foute and give the proverbial finger to Foute. I’m not sure that scenario is best for Tyler’s game this early because it will insinuate Tyler is with the other team not Foute. Level 6 is really focused on how to save Sam. As we know Sam has the +1 Life power. She may use it after an eviction within the next four weeks for a player who is evicted to have a ‘chance’ to return to the game. If it isn’t used by the 4th week whichever HG is evicted that week will automatically receive ‘the chance’ to return to the game. So I was surprised by Sam’s sadness and frustration after losing the veto. She tells Tyler “I’m getting evicted for sure”. I mean I understand her being upset she didn’t win, apparently she went balls out. But hours earlier she confides in Tyler that she’s safe no matter what and this didn’t seem orchestrated. She cried a lot! I am happy to report since then Sam has really stepped up her social game and is taking to everyone about the fact she wants to stay. Tyler knows if they can flip the vote so she isn’t forced to use her power this week that +1Life could come in handy down the line. We will circle back to Tyler in a little while. Angela and Rachel are the same type of player for now as far as breaking down Level 6 team members. Rachel is far more social and crass where Angela is far quieter and more reserved. Both are middle of the line players that aren’t putting themselves in the middle of any drama in the house or directly creating enemies through behaviors an actual house guest shouldn’t be doing from what I see. Rachel is the flirt one and seems to have an affection for Brett of all people? There’s already been some discussions between Brett/Rachel and then of course Brett/Winston about what will happen if/When has the HOH to himself and Rachel wants to come and join him. I’m not sure how much is strategy with Rachel versus actual attraction but it’s something to watch for as the weeks play on. Rachel is still a question mark for me. She has an aggressive personality and she makes mountains out of mole hills all day every day. But she has maintained a level temperament the majority of the time and when she does get heated retreats until she regains composure. That’s the smart play. She’s been social and does talk game often, but only privately and despite some serious tension between the men collectively and the women collectively she’s surprised me. I’m not confident she can keep that up for 99 days but I’m happy to see her playing a smart strategy. Kaycee was more difficult to get a read on. That’s actually a good thing. She doesn’t talk a lot but when she does we see glimpses of her abilities to identify where she needs to be applying her efforts. She is friendly and although not as talkative as the others when she speaks its with a purpose. By Saturday we see her using commonalities to make connections in very casual ways. She’s always around and paying attention which is nice to see. Kaycee uses workouts as opportunities to build personal connections. This morning Haleigh and Kaycee are talking. Kaycee is discussing the end of HN’s early this morning and all the food she ate last night. What’s interesting is Kaycee says she feels like being involved in the weekly binge feast at the end of HN’s is something she feels like you have to do. What we do know is Kaycee is very conscious of her eating habits and regimens as an athlete. This convo and her understanding that moving outside of her comfort zone to make connections and participate in ‘house events’ will require she eats on those nights and just accepts it’s a sacrifice she will have to make to her routine. Bravo Kaycee! She may not want to be doing this but sees the benefits in the game and makes the adjustments as needed. That willingness to be flexible and her ability to identify where she can create inclusiveness with all the players moves her up in my rankings this week. No one is talking about Kaycee! No one! Kaycee’s spinning wheel punishment does get her removed from a lot of the socializing and happenings around the house at times but honestly I think she enjoys the quiet room to herself it provides without anyone asking why isn’t Kaycee out here with the rest of us. Yesterday Angie/Bayleigh discussed their mutual dislike of Winston and common like for Brett/Rachel (particularly Rachel) so if they get rid of Winston in their minds they have a better chance of Rachel forming some other allegiances. Angie suggests she is willing to target the Bro’s. Winston did something in the first 24 hours we may never know what but whatever someone perceived it to be turned all of Foute against him. So we have all the players on the team except Winston and Angela constantly creating interpersonal connections with people outside their teams and after the last few seasons (BB19/BBOTT) this is a breath of fresh air! Sam’s work to forge some connections seems to have had an effect on Angie. Angie actually feels like Sam would be on their level (side) if this hadn’t happened but keeping Steve brings Scottie and they need Scottie. Angie goes so far to suggest she would keep Sam over Steve if Scottie wouldn’t turn on them. Winston still waffling because he likes Steve in the sense that he can see his casual friendship with Steve being a benefit. Steve is now vocally overconfident. He keeps saying repeatedly he’s not worried he has 7 votes locked. He is not worried at all. Despite this he does continue to maintain his convos with W/B and eventually tells Haleigh and That he now has the Bros votes which makes 9 so even if someone from Foute does flip he would still have the votes to stay. Later I will tell you what happens when Steve brings this up. brings this up to Angie/Haleigh. But first.... LOL sorry I couldn’t resist a nod to JC with all his CBS promo takes! Look traditionally the older player isn’t given much favor in this game. So I say good job Steve! We see season haven’t season where players create these strongholds on themselves and feel too secure so they get cocky and don’t continue to interact with players positioned throughout the house. Or they feel like they are being voted out and give up. Not Steve. While I do think he should be a bit less vocal about feeling safe, I like seeing him not ride a guarantee no one can really rely on in this game. What I find most perplexing is that Winston isn’t in danger this week. He is aware the other side has him in their sights but no imminent threat. However, Winston seems to be behaving irrationally and this continues to generate the most ridiculous theories and completely inaccurate assessments. He and Brett have collectively decided this week will absolutely be a DE. The Bros, Winston especially, have wanted to vote to keep Steve this whole time but Tyler has been able to get the other members of Level 6 to persuade the Bros to vote to keep Sam in the event someone from the other side does throw a sympathy or rogue vote Sam’s way. Steve has a conversation with Brett and it makes him feel as though he will definitely have the Bros votes. Good job Brett! In Steve’s mind that means even if someone from Foute does flip he will still have the votes to stay. The problem is Steve talks a little too much. Angie and Haleigh find this to be potentially problematic. Their discomfort could be a problem for Steve he’s oblivious to. They actually discuss voting for Sam to stay if they continue to find hints that the bro’s will in fact vote for Sam to leave. Angie and Haleigh’s logic is if the Bro’s do flip they can blame their two votes for Sam to stay over Steve back onto the Bro’s...I couldn’t make this stuff up! If this weren’t enough to make you scratch your head wait until I tell you what Foute did to help Sam’s cause yesterday. You would think after Dom’s talk show implosion last season anyone that watches BB and even claims to be an expert would know never participate in any scenario that even resembles a ‘talk show’. Listen, if you are ever fortunate enough to become a HG...DO NOT actively participate in anything that involves Q&A in a group setting! Foute decides to of course have a talk show and Kaitlin eventually asks Soggy C which HG he wants to leave next? Soggy true to form is overconfident in his position and freely says that he would target Winston. Ok there’s no surprise there. The majority of Foute have consistently expressed their desire to get Angela and Winston out of the game. The problem is Soggy says he’s wants to Winston out because...”Winston is all throwing my name around, targeting me but to my face he’s like what’s up with our deal?” Kaitlin immediately fires back with, “what deal?” Soggy C tries to skirt around it but that doesn’t fly with Kaitlin she’s positive now that Soggy is lying to her and there is a deal. Bayleigh pipes in that Faysal should have told Kaitlin about the final four deal and this makes it even worse! Here’s another tip for future HG. Don’t get involved in conflicts or arguments that you are not directly a party to! Stay out of fights! Walk away! Watch from the nose bleed seats somewhere outside of the area where the conflict is happening and just take notes! Soggy and Bayleigh play this horribly! They stoke the aren’t you and Faysal besties? We assumed he would have told you? Feeding into Kaitlin’s manic obsession with Faysal and she runs off to him. This creates a scenario where she’s now once again throwing up all over Faysal about how his relationship with Haleigh will prevent them from being each other’s number one’s. On and on and on. For the last three days I feel like I’ve been watching the same reel over over of the love triangle between these three. Faysal is telling her what she wants to here and swears she’s his number one regardless of Haleigh. Look, as in life, in the BB house if what people are saying and what you see them doing conflict...the person involved is lying and you shouldn’t have any problem knowing that! Kaitlin eventually runs crying to Tyler. This is where all of Tyler subtle work manifests another opportunity for him to manipulate Kaitlin. Tyler plays this perfectly. I haven’t seen such a masterfully choreographed 1st HOH ever! Tyler has really avoided his reign making him the biggest target. He has convinced Foute he’s with them (again they fail to admit that his actions clearly indicate at the very least he is not a sure thing (being absolute in his decision that if veto were used Bayleigh would be his replacement nominee). This morning Kaitlin is back in the HOH grateful to Tyler and the girls in Level 6 for their comfort and support last night. She’s also trying to spin what she did and shift the blame to her teammates. I’m watching after Tyler leaves and ironically Kaitlin is complaining to Angela of all people! These people have done nothing but talk about wanting Angela’s blood all over their hands and now Kaitlin is explaining she’s upset (but non game related). She just doesn’t like the fact people are talking behind her back. People saying things about me that aren’t true. Angela sits there listening empatheticly and then gives a well timed affirmation to her feelings. I love that she calmly and politely says to her face that, “you begin to question everyone’s motives. No matter what is said you wonder if there’s a motive behind anything they say because people are coming to you saying this person is coming for you this person doesn’t like you?” Kaitlin is so self involved she misses the irony in her saying this to the one girl Kaitlin and Foute have been doing to her since night 1. This makes Kaitlin so comfortable she throws up all drama with her team and the love triangle to Angela. I’m like ok, so Kaitlin you thought that telling your team’s biggest target every little issue and conflict between your team mates? HAHAHAHAHHAHA I’m sorry but if I’m in the BB house and this happened to me I would use every single detail to feed each and every small fire Foute has. Planting seeds discreetly. I mean seriously would there be anything better than your greatest enemy delivering every location of their bases? This is something I will continue to monitor Kaitlin’s direction. If Foute sees the potential or threat of a shift in her they could go to work to turn that around. She’s a messy player and although you want her vote she can also be a huge liability. Level 6 listened and comfort her enough for her to start oozing with gratitude and appreciation despite her being on the other team. What’s important beyond the drama and spilling of secrets is that right now the teams are even 6-6 with Steve, Scottie. Sam and JC floating around the middle. Sam and JC for the moment are leaning towards Level 6 while Steve and Scottie for the moment more towards Foute. This talk show also leads to yet another convo between Haleigh and Faysal where he’s still trying to persuade her to accept she’s his soul mate and she molds him like a chuck of clay. Haleigh conveys once again she is not getting into a showmance with him, they are not ‘bed mates’ and for the LF we can clearly see her repeatedly denying all of his advances. She uses this opportunity to tell him that Kaitlin has told her that Faysal has told her he’s Kaitlin’s number one even if he gets into a showmance with Haleigh. It’s like you can see her trying in her own mind while they’re talking to see how far she will have to go to keep Faysal on the hook. Faysal tells Haleigh that she will be his number one if they are in a showmance of course and I’m watching this like wth are you doing man? Haleigh sees what I see looking in from the outside and it’s like you can see her calculating how much she will have to pretend to get Faysal to be loyal to her. It’s like watching a bad soap opera! Last night Level 6 sat in the HOH watching Haleigh/Kaitlin waiting to talk to Faysal as soon as he returned to the house from the DR. They were loving every second of the soap opera on the spy cams. Winston starts jumping on the bed and Tyler has to tell him to chill before someone downstairs hears him. This whole drama played right into their plan. Sit back and let Foute implode from the inside while making them feel like they are running the game. There you have it! While Winston and Brett have their own deals in their minds for now they realize they need the numbers and hopefully that will allow for the group to grow stronger next week if one of them wins HOH. That’s my only note in the back of my mind is what will Winston do if the other team wins HOH and comes for him? Beyond that Tyler is the standout from this side. I’m not confident how the vote will go but if we’ve learned nothing else the eviction vote is always questionable down to the last minute before going live. Tomorrow I hope to have an idea of where Winston, Kaitlin, Angie, and Haleigh have their minds set. I will also spill the RealiTea on how the floaters are fairing in the middle of these two teams.

  13. Every year we have some super fans enter the house and tell us (preseason) all the reasons why this makes them the best player coming in. Each one has a recipe for using their BB knowledge and they always have declarations about mistakes or things they’ve seen on past seasons they will or won’t do based on being a BB historian. This season is no different in that respect. Now that the feeds have gone live and the HG’s have had 12 days in the house we already see the same rookie mistakes we see year after year after year. There is so much to catch up on since the HG’s were together for a week before we see them in the house I think it’s best to split my analysis into the ‘teams’. Team yoga has officially named themselves Team Foute and this is where I will begin. The last RealiTea I spilled over the ended with Veto having played out. As I reported last time Faysal wins. Tyler has made it abundantly clear if another nominee has to be put OTB it will be Bayleigh. So Faysal has no plans to use the veto. Soon after everyone is back in the house Faysal and JC have a private convo in the HOH. He tells JC that he doesn’t want JC to be a renom so he won’t use the veto as long as JC keeps 100 with Faysal they are cool. He also warns JC the only thing that can change that is if JC tells anyone Faysal isn’t going to use it. I laughed as I listened. I even considered a betting pool on how long it would take him to spill that to someone but then I realized by the time I set it up JC would have already told someone. The idea Faysal has is a good one. Buying some favor from those that could be a renom. His other goal is to let the nominees and potential replacements sweat it out. His hope is that will have those HG talking and worried and he can use this to gain some intel and identity targets moving forward. Great strategy and seems Faysal can take some initiative to play his own game without Soggy C handing out direct marching orders. Don’t get me wrong, Faysal is not a mastermind strategist. He is bro’d up with Soggy and following Haleigh around like a rescue puppy that desperately needs a home. However, in this specific situation I think his path of choice regarding how to use his veto win to his advantage (especially knowing he won’t use it) is the right play here. If he were able to do it, this would be a great move. This is Big Brother! There are very few secrets that remain a secret. Even worse, JC has a condition that prevents him from ever being quiet. He leaks it within an hour and Faysal reads him for it. JC has a tendency to write checks he can cover and if he doesn’t settle down and take a step back this could expedite his exit. For now Level 6 needs him for a vote and there are much bigger targets drawing aim so they are aware he talks too much and are more careful about what they talk about with him. I would hate to see JC or Sam say something that switches the attention on to them. JC may be little but he gets around! While he appears most loyal to Tyler, team Foute sees him a easily manipulated. To his credit despite his boisterous personality JC seems to have created a social connection with nearly all the HG. At the very least some people from each side that genuinely like him and see his value in voting numbers but Tyler is the only one that appears to really see a real potential asset in JC. Soggy C does tell us that pound for pound JC is the strongest guy in the house as he continues to marvel at his abilities when lifting weights and working out. That being said we see JC pitch a trio team to Tyler and Haleigh who both in the moment agree. The big picture goal is to slowly pull her over to their side as the Yoga alliance crumbles. I like the idea but there’s a key problem. Haleigh. I think Haleigh sees JC’s trio idea as an out to jump ship as much as a way to gain acceptance and have some influence over members of Level 6 who are in fact the opposing team. Technically this isn’t a bad strategy. But, like Scottie, Haleigh is already seen as a floater that is trying to influence several guys in the house with her flirting and she fails to do so covertly and it’s already causing problems in all corners of the house. Flirting and using social is a legitimate strategy players have used but it’s all about the execution and Haleigh’s no sly at all. It’s hurting her game more than helping it because Faysal and Kaitlin aren’t liking it at all! Faysal, as the first Veto winner, has provided some great entertainment on the feeds. Listen it doesn’t always have to be ‘good things’ happening to be entertained. Faysal and Soggy C spend the entire weekend slapping each other on the back and burrowing deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. All they do is talk about being the BEST competitors in the house and how they are guaranteed to plow through all these people. They feed each other’s egos and constantly go all in on some ridiculous point of view they’ve completely accepted as fact when it’s all fiction. It gets annoying after a while but that is so much better than watching two players lay in bed secluded all day making victim or other noises. I’m here for it. Trust me I would much rather be amused by Faysal wearing or carrying around his Veto all day every day even sleeping with it! LOL If he wasn’t THAT GUY then Kaitlin’s prank last night wouldn’t have happened. Kaitlin is thirsty for Faysal’s attention. She decides to hide the veto and while Faysal is looking and concerned about where it went they egg him on with conspiracy theories convincing him that perhaps it was taken and now he no longer holds the power. This makes him paranoid and he buys what they are selling. Yes, that must be it! There’s a saboteur in the house and now that they hold the physical Veto THEY have the power. This kid is so easily manipulated it’s kinda sad but entertaining none the less. Speaking of Kaitlin and Faysal. Where there is smoke there is fire. There’s troubling brewing already over both Haleigh’s strategy to flirt with all the guys and Faysal is not here for that. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look much like he or Kaitlin are here for BB either. Faysal is crushing HARD on Haleigh and it’s somewhat reminiscent of Beast Mode (Caleb) and the Amber situation. If that weren’t bad enough while Faysal is jealous Haleigh openly flirts with Brett and Tyler right under his nose Kaitlin makes it clear to Haleigh she is just as jealous that Haleigh and Faysal are flirting at all. In Kaitlin’s mind Haleigh, being her best friend of all of 11 days should ceased any flirtmance with Faysal because she has BF and can’t go for Faysal. No you didn’t read that incorrectly. The old ‘if I can’t have him you can’t either’. This stirs up a kind of dust from the new construction of the Foute team. I would say someone needs to nip this in the bud real quick but....this team was never going to last so why not enjoy the insanity to pass the time. The funny thing is Haleigh doesn’t find Faysal appealing at all but his obsession with her has sparked some concerns throughout their alliance. Angie and Haleigh discuss concerns they have with the staying power of the alliance. In the end they agree to keep their options open and let it play out for now but if Bay/Soggy end up being a showmance (they already are) then that’s the deal breaker and the two of them will jump ship and form a new group. Angie sees that there is a storm brewing between Kaitlin and Haleigh and that Faysal is obsessed and everything he’s focused on is Haleigh related. Last night Haleigh and Faysal has another chat and to her credit she made it clear she has no interest in him like that while he went all in on a bad hand and declared his feelings for her. Guess it’s good Faysal didn’t have the chat with Kaitlin that Soggy suggested to tell her he sees her like a sister. Yeah Soggy cause that’s working so well for you! Soggy had a plan for Faysal and others to tell the house that Bay/Soggy are like Brother/sister that’s why they spend so much time together and there’s nothing gong on. Delusional Soggy once again believes his own lies and thinks he has the whole house believing this and eating out of his hand. Wrong! Everyone except maybe Sam knows or believes they are a couple and it’s week 2 and anyone associated closely to Soggy (Bay/Faysal) are targets because of him. Soggy shares with Haleigh that when he was in school he bounced back and forth between two states changing schools 16 times. Wow. That actually explains a lot about his personality. You would think having gone through that he would be a little more considerate towards Sam. What we all have to remember and the players should too is in this house perception is fact. The only reason Sam may not know is she’s been absent or in robot form 85% of the time so she still has no idea really who is with whom still. Tyler fills her in when they do actually have a few Moments alone. The hardest part of this punishment for Sam is this is not a considerate kumbaya cast. We saw this briefly on last night’s episode with Kaycee. These people are out of sight out of mind and even when Sam is in the house they blow past her and she does have a legitimate right to feel alienated. Tyler and JC have made the most efforts towards her and that’s great to see. Not just from the human perspective (compassion/empathy) but from a game one too. Tyler and JC have created a bond so when she does stay she will be loyal to them the entire game. It’s how she’s built and good or bad I see that being the case. Everyone else believes in all likelihood Sam is leaving so they have not invested any energy in her no wonder she’s having mini meltdowns all the time. I know. I know. Look I agree you have to play the hand you’re dealt in the game. Just like in life my advice is be sad have a good cry then keep it moving. Experiencing your emotions is a place to visit don’t take up residence there. Sam got this awful punishment which was one of the biggest disadvantages BB has ever dished out. That’s bad enough being a robot most the time and it drastically limiting your ability to move around the house freely. But then realize while she’s a robot she’s likely isolated locked away by herself in a literal sequester type environment for 2 whole weeks! I don’t expect her to be a Dan and invent this elaborate plan on how to guarantee she makes it to the end. I’m willing to cut her some slack and wait and see how she does next week and moving forward. Even the best BB player would be shook. Are you wondering why I haven’t mentioned Bayleigh very much? Well I’m watching her and while she’s wrapped her game up on Soggy I have seen her attempt to fall back and blend it a bit more after having a major meltdown at the possibility of being nominated before the Veto comp played out. The best thing that’s happened for her is Faysal winning veto. Now she’s confident she’s safe (she should be be) so she’s made a conscious effort to chill. She pisses Tyler off early into the game with her rankings and attitude. She freaked out when she was told to her face that if someone uses Veto Tyler planned to replace whichever HG comes down with her. Beyond that we see her kissing Soggy whenever she’s alone with him and not letting her dominant side run her game understanding that her connections to Soggy make her a viable target. The Foute team is confident Sam is going and they see Steve as a puppet so they’ve really stopped paying attention to her at all. Even on the rare occasions we see her trying to socialize or insert herself into a group convo they see it as an annoyance. Faysal for example will stand in the kitchen listening to her as a robot but shows little interest and then as she leaves will use hand gestures to show her yapping and roll his eyes. That really sums up how Foute sees Sam. Rachel and Tyler encourage Sam to talk to them throughout the next few days and made it clear they are working behind the scenes trying to send Steve home. Rachel suggests Sam start with Kaitlin and Angie because those are the two that have personal beef with her. Sam makes the effort and while Kaitlin is impossible in the end I felt like she at least managed to apologize for upsetting them. Kaitlin thinks the smart approach with Sam is to lay all the blame on her likely eviction on Tyler. Kaitlin goes all in on this approach telling Sam they want her to stay. They all would love for both Steve and Sam to stay but Tyler is the one that clearly wants her gone. They wanted Faysal to use the veto. Faysal wants to use the veto! But Tyler won’t agree to put up a big target. If he would just agree to put up Angela then Sam would stay and so would Steve and that’s what they all want. Two things here. First Kaitlin is oblivious to the closeness of Sam/Tyler. Im this game knowledge is power. Two Kaitlin pushed it even further trying to sell this that she says a that Tyler is afraid of the secret power and that’s why Sam will go home and he won’t target Angela because he believes Angela has the advantage. Ding! Ding! Ding! Tyler is the only one that knows Sam has it. He has not told anyone. Sam knows Kaitlin is full of it and seems the personality type that won’t soon forget that Kaitlin both lied and will vote against her as a team. What Kaitlin should have done was listen, empathize, and maybe walk the line of saying, “I’m working hard for you to stay. I’m hoping Tyler can be persuaded to put up a bigger target so both you and Steve can stay. Kaitlin is the least Zen person in the house. Miss namaste is also the most negative person in the game so it’s not a surprise she takes the negative approach possible. Kaitlin/Faysal/Soggy C are the front of this team. They have set themselves up to be the big targets on that side and by extension of Soggy Bayleigh is a path to cripple Soggy if they can’t get to him. Soggy, to his credit, makes a point to talk to the LF’s and tell us how wonderful he is and why we should love him and give him a power to F things up in the house. While LF love both of these things what they don’t love is a clear and blatant attempt to scheme them. I don’t see this helping him. However, yesterday’s LF chat was a bit confusing with regards to his true allegiances. He tells us about his ‘team’. He goes on to say that Bay is his first priority. Then his second is Tyler, Scottie, and Soggy. Those are his boys and after that alliance then he is loyal to the big team. Hmmm. We’ve all been watching feeds and there’s been zero indications of these 3 having any kind of deal. Not only that. Hg everything he plans and says relies on the team backing him with their numbers. He’s in for a rude awakening on Thursday if Sam comes right back into the game after eviction. It’s possible this trio happened before feeds went live but neither Scottie or Tyler seem to have any loyalty to Soggy. I will make a mental note but my impressions are this is another delusional idea that only exists in his own mind. Maybe Angie can use her Piegan witch powers to cast a spell on the others in her squad to bring them back to cohesive group she originally created them to be? At least she is close to her character she sold us preseason. Angie is the quietest in her group and from what I’ve seen the most logical. Unlike Kaitlin who uses her whole meditation, yoga, crystals, oils, and as a gimmick Angie has found her center and will likely be the first to jump ship which is smart on her part. You never want to be the head or the tail of an alliance. Those are the players that go first! There you have it! A 360 degree view of Foute team and all of their team members from my point of view! They are great for entertaining live feeds but neither the team as a whole or as individuals have staying power except maybe Angie and Haleigh if she can avoid any further attention for her flirting as a strategy because she has created some personal connections all over the house. I hope you’re not too invested in this team because the minute Level 6 takes the power again I see them turning on each other and the whole thing falling apart like these big groups the first week usually does. Want to know about Level 6 players/team? Are you cheering on one of the floaters? Don’t worry, I will be back with more RealiTea Bites on them soon!

  17. Feeds went live after last night’s part 2 of BB20 premier! We learn a lot very quickly and all at once. Conversely this leaves some huge questions that have taken a bit longer to find out. I will be back with a complete summary of players and events but this game moves quickly so there are some facts I want to share so you are up to date on the actual state of the ‘game’. HOH: Tyler Nominees: Sam and Steve We have an almost complete divide down the middle much like season 6 and BBOTT as soon as the feeds are live the house is divided both by ‘teams’ and physical proximity. Team Bros (for now) Winston Brett Angela Kaycee Rachel Tyler Team Yoga (for now) Chris Bayleigh Kaitlin Angie Faysal Haleigh There are no ‘official’ team names yet and I expect there to be some serious shifts a couple weeks into the season. That being said, for now I labeled them based on what the majority of fans are going to easily associate them to. We have four HG’s Floating to varying degrees: Sam -who is currently following Tyler but be robot punishment has put her at a huge disadvantage. It’s painful as a fan to watch and this has really limited her ability to make serious social connections with anyone other than Tyler. Steve-currently infiltrating Team Yoga relying on them for his safety in his mind. For being the eldest player and on the block the fact he found an ‘in’ with the large alliance is impressive but by no means a concrete assimilation into that group. It’s all about the numbers! Notable is that both Steve as well as Team Yoga seem to be miscalculating to a small degree the size of the other alliance thanks to Tyler. Team Yoga believes they have the ‘numbers’ advantage with 8 or 9 because they are including Tyler, Steve, and Scottie which is not the case. JC has a lot going on all by himself but he appears to be walking a tight rope between the two sides well enough for now. Despite this it seems to me he is leaning a bit more toward Tyler based on all of conversations. The good news for him is that he socializes with everyone but has a propensity for both Sam and Tyler. Scottie is completely playing both sides. He is openly ‘ spying’ on both teams and running intel back to both in varying degrees (Team Bros sweat he’s with them). What we do know is that Steve and Scottie have a close bond and appear to be a duo for now. Kaitlin has blabbed to Tyler (this morning) that Scottie is team Yoga’s secret team member infiltrating the other side to bring them all the details from team Bros. Scottie needs to slow his roll before this in his name being thrown into the hat a replacement nominee. We have some pairs mixed in between the separate alliances of course. Chris and Bayleigh clearly kissing their way into the BB20 Showmance board. Worse thing possible for both these dominant personalities already drawing a lot of attention individually. Kaitlin and Haleigh want you to know they are BFF’s and have a final 2. Tyler and Kaycee have a final 2. Steve and Scottie are a duo. Brett and Winston are a duo and let me tease that of these two I NEVER would have expected Brett to be the more calm level headed cautious player but that’s the way it appears for now. Based on what I have seen the last 18 hours Brett would be the HG that surprises me most in comparison to my preseason analysis. The most interesting observation I’ve made with this house already split is we have pretty even teams! Both have strong competitors. Both have more brainy strategic minds, and both have even numbers unbeknownst to team Yoga who believe Tyler is more on their team or in the middle than he actually is. These are very evenly distributed teams and I love that aspect! Tyler has been a wonderful surprise for me which I will share more the next blog! Haleigh and Tyler have a ‘flirt’ mance where both are on opposite sides of the house trying to sway the other. Lol. Neither is getting any where. There’s some serious tension between the two sides. and I’ve already seen a lot of road blocks and attempted infiltrations. Beyond that there is really no socializing over the lines drawn between the two big alliances except for Tyler. I will tell you that IMO, Tyler is managing this first (typically most difficult) HOH. We have another week to go until the first eviction but this first week so far actually is shaping up to be one of the best (least explosive) first HOH BB has seen in many years. The first have nots of the season are: Brett Winston Kaitlin Scottie From the sound of things Winston and Brett volunteered but no confirmation of all 4 volunteered or just the Bros. Veto Players were drawn this morning. Two of the 3 already playing (Steve and Tyler) drew HG choice. So Veto players are: Tyler Sam Steve Faysal Scottie Chris It sounds like Steve chose Scottie. Tyler tells JC he chose Chris Tyler says he chose Chris because he swore he would do what Tyler wanted as HOH if he picked him to play. It’s Chris of course so as soon as Veto players were drawn Chris flipped the script and Tyler isn’t feeling that at all but he’s played it cool thus far. Let me say the convo in the HOH that followed was painful to endure. JC will host veto which is happening now! I really hope Sam wins, saves herself! The BB App Store rewards and punishment was released into the game prior to feeds going live. Faysal was the ‘least trending’ and chose the Hamazon Punishment. That requires he eats and entire Vegan Ham every time there is a Hamazon delivery and he’s already losing it over having to eat it so often by today. It was crazy trying to navigate all of the speculation and paranoia about which HG received a ‘power’ for the most trending HG. Chris is using this to continue trying to push Tyler to put Angela up swearing he’s positive Angela has it. Team Yoga all following Chris’ lead. While the ladies on Team Bros were convinced by JC that he had the power (by their interpretation). Meanwhile after alcohol was delivered last night JC goes to Tyler and says Brett has it for sure and JC is the only one that knows so don’t say anything! Not sure if it’s what JC is certain based on observation or if he’s intentionally lying (although I am doubtful of that). It could just be he’s drunk and escalating his own ideas at this point. It wasn’t until around lunch time today that we realize during a 1-1 with Tyler and Sam (offline for a while finally) that Sam is “safe” no mater what Tyler decides so do what is in his heart and not what these 14 other people are trying to get him to do. I was ecstatic to hear this! We also have a leak from a credible source that in fact Sam did win the first power (thank you America you finally got one right!) Her power is safety! She can save herself anytime in the next 4 weeks/evictions. I seriously would love to see her win Veto for her own safety and to rebuild her confidence a bit. This would mean that advantage stays with her a couple more weeks. Sam was the target by default but Tyler seems relieved she won’t be the one going home on his HOH. Tyler knows Steve is malleable so his current mindset is if someone uses veto (or safety) Bayleigh will be the replacement nominee which I am completely in support of. No tears would be shed on my part it eliminates an annoyance, delivers a blow to Chris (whose ego rivals Paul and Paulie at this point and he doesn’t even have any power). There you have it! Noms, alliances, duos, showmance, conflict, Veto players, HN’s and the first week of advantages and disadvantages all in about 14 hours. The feeds only have me more excited about BB20 and there is plenty more RealiTea to sip but for now you are up to speed on the key points and current status of the game!
  18. The premier of BB 20 pulled the greatest ratings last night and if you weren't watching there are plenty of reasons why. The night begins with an audience full of vets which we as fans usually enjoy. Chicken George, Bunky, Kaysar, Michelle, and many more were front and center for the pre-recorded premiere of BB20.The most anticipated night of the year left fans celebrating around country because we finally have a cast filled with all new players. In the episode we can get a pretty clear idea where production is headed with the "Technology is taking over the world". From intros, to friendships, to comps, to betrayals the first night was jam packed. We meet the first eight HG and immediately the game has begun. Julie of course names the first four HG that have been selected to enter. Tyler's name was first up but as we saw he truly is a superman because he lingers intentionally (it would appear) because he knows the first to enter curse and wants no external influences on his chance to bag $500k. The first HG to enter the house has never won BB. Unlike Bayleigh who practically lunges through the front door, thanks girl. You NEVER want to be the first player to enter the house. There are a couple of aha moments the second all of the HG have entered. We see the wheels turning for several players even in the first few moments. Hallelujah! We have people in the game that really came to play! Tyler is sniffing out Steve right away, who of course was the first in the house to tell a lie about his profession. I called that one before the premier. These people will never openly buy what Steve's selling. First of all, a mechanic's hands are the hallmark of their profession. Secondly, he screams COP! Within moments of entering Tyler is already suspicious. Steve tells us he will not be letting anyone know he was a police officer, nor that he teaches Criminal Justice. I understand the paranoia a police officer, especially former undercover cop, in this game people make quick assumptions and connections and Derrick won the whole damn thing BB16. Problem is that both Brett and Steve decided ahead of time that lying about what they do will prevent others from seeing them as a threat and sending them home early. Honestly, we all know that more often than not what we fear we create. The key to a good lie is there has to be an element of truth. Brett attempts to consider this when creating his cover story but then picks a job in technology that he has no idea what the job is? If it is even a job title at all, it sounded more like he just through two words together and threw them out there when asked what he does. Bottom line is these two ranked in the lowest of the players for my personal preseason ranking. Based on last night's episode I nailed that prediction. My guess would be that Steve goes home bye week 4 or 5 if he makes it through this first week. I also believe that Brett's need to be the center of attention will result in Brett blowing up his own game and he will be lucky if he makes jury. Scottie gets chased through the house by Rachel once she realizes he has never been kissed or had a relationship. Scottie is probably the one player I didn't really get a clear read on from the first appearance. He could be the love child of Andy Herren and Johnny Mack based on appearance but it will remain to be seen if you possesses the cut throat DNA required for an archetype like his to make it to the end. He interviewed well, plans t hide his super fan knowledge which is a savvy move for his own longevity. In recent years the 'nerd' has been a very early target because of Ian and Steve but Scottie appears to possess some skills and abilities those two lacked. I will keep watching to see how he decides to use or not use his athletic prowess and if he really can avoid fan boying everything BB to avoid making himself a target. Angie and Kaycee were also relatively low on the exposure train last night. The only parts of the premier relating to these two that made any real impression on me were there intro packages. Kaycee's intro did improve my initial impression. I mean I want to cheer her on, she's from my hometown and a female athlete that doesn't use it as a prop. It's her temperament and ability to not become the 'Alex" of the season I look forward to discovering. Social strategy has become a huge part of being successful the first half of every season and I just can't read which way she will go. The episode didn't really offer me any new insights other than she seems likable, her family segment was fun to watch. Angie on the other hand is as cooky and wold as we would have predicted. I was as shocked by her segment when she discusses pondering religion at 12 years old (which in of itself isn't odd) but then her same 12 year old self decided to convert to a pagan witch? None of us could have predicted than. It was the only intro segment that was more shocking than Winston kissing his gun and proclaiming he doesn't go to the movies without it. Winston's love of guns doesn't bother me, I think it was a poor choice by CBS considering our current political/social climates. People are sensitive about weapons right now and this triggered some really negative backlash from fans towards Winston when in all honesty I think is unfair. Fans should direct that frustration towards production and CBS because they chose to highly it not him. I will say had they just focused on the scrubs in the medical setting and all of his love for his dog it would have been received with a flash mob of Winston fans that had been growing by the day since the cast was released. Bottom line, he has a right to love his 2nd amendment right let's not box him he. He is not a Cody. The funniest HG's based on last night's premiere were: JC, Sam, and Winston. All three are players I like and two of them are players I believe can play smart enough to make it to the second half of the game. Remember, this is a marathon not a race. The first half of the game is all about observing, playing the middle, keeping out of drama, and only winning if you absolute have to. Winston had a very up and down introduction to America. Fans were falling all over themselves preseason over Winston. I myself, believe he will be there for the long haul and has the qualities necessary to make it to those final two seats. He's articulate, funny, humble, and seems very down to earth based on all the preseason research. The intro package production gave him stirred up some controversy over his love of the 2nd amendment and it did not help him with the fan base. I hope people will keep it moving and the uproar dies down by the end of the second episode that airs tonight. JC on the other hand stole the show last night! While my initial impression when they released the cast was like, oh no Jozae .05 after doing to background on him my feelings about his 'character' on this season quickly changed. He's energetic, sociable, and really funny! I feel like he will make it to the second half because he is not going too seem like a threat to the other players and he says he wants to lay low where the game play is involved. I don't think he has a chance to make it final 4 unless he manages to create an alliance where he is really well insulated the second half of the game and someone drags him to the end. All in all JC had most of the funniest moments of the premier. He knows his strengths and I hope he stays that path and uses that to his advantage all season because the one thing I am certain of his he will be fun to watch. He will keep the feeds interesting and that's a player I would like to have around when we have 98 more days to go! JC has already created this amazing energy with Sam and since she is the 2nd funniest character in the house these two can deliver a hilarious summer filled with one liners and clips we will cherish for seasons to come. Sam didn't rank as high for me as these two guys did but she actually climbed the ranks for me after the premier episode aired. The comments Sam makes are going to have us all LOL for weeks to come if she can now survive one of the first two punishments of the season. I may start a running record of Sam-isms for the season. Poor Samantha finished last on the spelling comp that 1/2 the house played which left her as a robot until the first love eviction, which won't happen until next Thursday. That's such a bad stroke of luck for her but I feel like ifs anyone were going to be able to not allow this to tank there game it will be her. She will make a few physical appearances over the next week (my guess would be for comps only). Otherwise she is sitting in some secluded control booth outside the house and can only navigate the robot from room to room and see through the robots eyes and talk through the control boots. Everyone seemed very sympathetic to her punishment. Thats a plus. JC ran right over and announced he's thrilled to have a robot his size, someone he can actually look in their eyes and takes her by the end telling her he loves her and they are probably going to get married now while humming the wedding march. It was GREAT! A few other HG went out of there way to include Sam and empathize for her, like Rachel. That was nice to see, but this disadvantage the first week in the game where you won't always have an actually presence in the game is going to be a real challenge. Sam is going to give us the best DR's and if you weren't already a Sam fan after her, "I'm sweating like a nun in a cucumber patch," you are now! For me, the only thing that was shown on the premier that was funnier than Sam and JC's commentary is Winston's response to Kaitlin. Kaitlin of course enters and immediately douses everyone with her essential oils and aura identifications and immediately announces she can clear all of the HG Chakra's which went over like we would predict. In the DR Winston tells us her has no idea what 'Chakra" is but "it sounds sexual and violent. I am not into that." That was it, I was in tears laughing. If premier is any indication BB20 is going to be a breath of fresh air after two of the worst seasons in the last three years. We always see one or two people playing too hard too fast or making a ridiculous spectacle of themselves the first night. I'm thrilled that we didn't. a few players had some cringe worthy moments for me. While it wasn't over the top the personality gave us a glimpse of what is likely to come. Rachel. I really don't want to dislike her. I mean it's night one. She is loud, definitely thrusts herself into the center ring in the loudest way possible. I also see s tendency to be too aggressive. This is the same fear I have about Angela. She is one of my top female picks preseason but my impressions of her downgraded significantly after the premier. What happened to laying low the first few weeks and controlling the hyper competitive side of you until the second half of the game? I think looking Shaggy in the eye and without any forethought immediately admitting if I win this face off I won't keep you safe was a HUGE mistake. She promised her group prior that she would keep them safe. I understand that, she shouldn't have said that either. Come on those were both rookie (recruits) mistakes. What they both should have done was listen to everyone. Don't give up anything but do your best to reassure people you will give their thoughts and feeling serious consideration then wait for things to play out. I don't blame Shaggy for approaching Angela and considering proposing they each keep the other safe regardless of who wins but beyond that....play it close to the vest. Don't make promises make mental notes until it has played out and you know exactly what your choices are. This is BIG BROTHER and its night one so the one thing you should expect is the unexpected. I mean I HATE that production tells the house if you win you can keep 8 people safe before it begins but not knowing the selection would require choosing two of the groups of four players that entered the game together was a gut punch. I hate it, but no way I feel bad they are both fans of the show and should anticipate twists within twists. The only player in the game I have zero interest in is Kaitlin. She was number 16 on my preseason prediction list and nothing changed with the first glimpse into the game. If she continues on as she did last night she will be sent home quickly and it wouldn't shock me if she went first. Angie is the only one that appeared to bond with Kaitlin and while she may have a little more staying power than Kaitlin she isn't a powerhouse player that can save her. The only other two HG I haven't mentioned are Bayleigh and Haleigh. Haleigh ranked in the top 1/3 for me in my rankings. I have to some underlying concerns that will have me following her first days on LF closely but when you break down her preseason research alone she could be an end of season contender. Bayleigh on the other hand made terrible first impressions in preseason and I still don't foresee her making it further than jury if she's lucky. She has a very strong personality and comes off too arrogant for me. I will admit she had a few moments last night that surprised me but not enough to swing the pendulum. I don't hate her. I do like the way she approached Swaggy after he won the comp, suggesting he dial it back and be more aware of how his words and actions are perceived by others. The problem for me is she also seems like the type to 'do what I say to what I do' kinda approach. I am going to keep an open mind. NO one on the cast drove me crazy or worked my nerves. That's a first! The one thing that seems noteworthy to me is the fact that after two hours we don't have a head of household. Instead we see two HG's are being punished, and 8 HG's are safe. I am thrilled there was not a first night eviction. As most BB fans should be. We've complained about this for years and we will actually get to watch all 16 HG's on the LF the first week they go live. I don't mind that they did a comp where someone wins and keeps 8 players safe the first week. That's a nod to Paul's twist (BB19) and the friendship bracelets. I do appreciate that at least players had to compete for the advantage. While production has stepped up their comp game and set designs in the last couple seasons (BB19 and CBB) it was boggling that they created two completely different competitions for two groups of 8 to compete. I did not care for the fact that the comps had absolutely nothing in common. One group of 8 drudged through the black box in goop and sludge to find 7 envelopes. The player who didn't get an envelope loses and receives a punishment while the player that find the envelope that says "escape and play" will be the HG that faces off the winner of the other comp. However, the other 8 HG's were hung from bungees and required to build a tower that spells out houseguest? The first of the comp to spell out the word in the tower advances (actually has to win) and the last person left (SAM) receives the other punishment. So laggy didn't actually 'win' anything he just found the random folder that advanced him while Angela actually won the spelling comp. It are these kinds of moves that production makes that lends themselves to fans discussing the influence production purposefully makes on the game. with the winners of each comp facing of on surfboards (season 6 throwback) to win the ability to chose 8 players to have safety from the first eviction. Fortunately, thanks to an inside leak we already know who won the first HOH and which two HG were nominated so that makes this a tad less annoying by the end of the episode we have 16 HG's, two suffering punishments, 8 players with safety, 1 with a huge disadvantage, and some friendships already forming and drawing attention. Tonight we will view the second half of the season premier and feeds go live after the show. This should provide much more insight. While I hear Tyler and Kaycee made a final 2 today. We also hear that BB20 has had the first kiss in the house this week. There is a lot more to learn as we are permitted inside the house tonight. I hope that was big enough sip of RealiTea for today! The second episode is minutes away and once I've had some time to observe the hamsters in their natural habitat I will make some more concrete predictions but for now it just to early to know who wins my support and who I want out!
  19. It’s finally here! Tonight is the premier of BB20 and I hope you are as excited as I am. What’s there to be excited about this season? Who are the new houseguests and how will they fair in the longest season in BB history, 99 days? What’s happening on the live feeds? These are all details you can find here each week as the season progresses. Join me here a few times a week to get all the RealiTea all season long. I will give you the facts along with my own personal assessments and analysis of everything BB20. We have 16 new faces. 8 men and 8 women are already forming alliances and enemies as they have been in the house for about a week by the time the veil is lifted for us tonight. All new players in a new house for the first in several seasons. If your a long time fan like myself that should be reason enough to be excited about BB20. This year’s theme in the house is technology and you will see symbols from apps and games throughout the house. Social media already plays a huge role in this game (outside of the house) so producers have taken that and morphed the BB house into a virtual cyberspace. One detail shared by production is that we will see a nod of some sort to each of the previous seasons of BB. I noticed the first one most of us are celebrating already. No returnees this season. The next one I observed was in the reveal of the BB house. In season 2 only glass separates the main bedrooms and this season the pink and blue rooms have a wall that can be moved to create a clear view between the two rooms. I love that! We will see how often the HG actually utilize it. CBB also seems to have left its mark because production included a fuse ball table upstairs inside the house and there is even a giant jingo in addition to the fun rock climbing wall. This is a great addition to BB proper. The lockdowns can last for days between HOH, Veto, twists, etc...so having more things to gather people together and create social environments inside the house is a welcome change. The audience on tonight’s premier (previously recorded) will be stacked with players from past seasons. Expect a lot of guest appearances by past players even if there are no vets cast this season from the premier night on I anticipate viewers being innondated with throw backs and guest spots all season long. After all this is the 20th season. We should also see some competitions and rewards brought into this season’s rotation as a nod to all the seasons that led up to the 20th. There will be some version of audience voting. From what I’ve heard so far one will include a twist on traditional voting and the ‘popular vote’ will come from how HGs are trending on social media. Here’s the down side, from my POV, CBS has a tendency to leave these types of twists in a very vague context which can frustrate us LF (live feeders). I expect greater detail on how that will work, there is said to be a reward and punishment handed out based on who is trending the highest and lowest. However, we have no idea is a player is trending the highest because they are disliked or involved in a controversy this would result in a reward? The way production likes to troll fans at times throughout the season it wouldn’t surprise me. This season is shaping up to be a fun stroll down memory lane for long time fans. It should also create some unique opportunities for an entire cast of newbies to navigate the game in new ways. One thing is certain for the next 99 days we will all enjoy the same crazy ride! Regardless of what happens in the house check back here and we can sip some RealiTea about all things BB20. Update: POV played out and Faysal won based on conversations and surprised tones this was a new comp no one was prepared for. Paint Balls, snakes, and electric shocks involved.
