I know it's already been said that the producers obviously didn't expect someone to fail the puzzle, but it's hilarious hearing audience accounts of the producers telling the audience there will not be an evicted HG to see. Also realizing that they didn't set up the interview chairs because they didn't expect an evicted hg interview that much. Apparently they did more of an eviction interview after the live show ended.

Also they said on RHAP that someone wanted to yell out that Kaitlyn's BF dumped her but the producers said he would die if he said it. lol

The interview is up


She seems quite likeable in this, just like it happened with Winston. The Chen effect.

She was but she was also basically responsible for 90% of the content of the show.

I could see things going down a boring corner at this point just because there is a significant less amount of chaos in the house now.

the rockstar and brett feud should make for some fun tv.

it's also good to see when big alliances implode. it's only a matter of time before level 5 starts turning on each other.

Yeah but the Rockstar/Brett thing is already diffused. Only chance of us seeing more of that is if one of them directly puts the other one up.

Level 6 is just too reserved. Brett could get angry at someone like Tyler down the road, but Angela and Kaycee barely have emotion at all, Rachel enjoys having fun with people too much, and Tyler's just not stupid enough to blow up unless its planned. I could see them diffuse but I definitely don't see them having any kind of blow up that causes any drama.

Only drama I'm looking forward to is Fessy blowing up and having a meltdown when he realizes eventually he's been being played by JC, and to some degree Tyler.

I wish the Identity theif power was in the hands of someone like JC, or even Scottie. I feel like they would try to use it to just cause chaos because they'd have no real reason to save themselves right now. With Bay, I think she's holding on to it too much just to save her or Fessy. It will end up being obvious at least to a small group of who used it. With JC they could almost do anything just too cause drama and it would never fall back on him.

If Bayleigh was smart, she should use her power this week and put up Tyler and Scottie (or other threats in house). That way she can take a shot at someone and make it seem it wasn't her choice since the announcement of the power being used will cover up her own selection. The others will start to tear each other up figuring out who done it and Bayleigh should be able to slide for weeks

That's certainly be neat, but strategically I feel like it has less of a payoff than just playing it straight and having that available to save yourself.

Guess it depends on the situation you're currently in. The current position doesn't need that to happen, but if you did have the focus on you at the time, it should turn the focus elsewhere if that card was played in that way.

There was a whole lot of bonding over Kaitlyn hating in the house last night.

"If he[Joe] existed, he doesn't exist anymore!"

It goes a little overboard in some spots, but it seems like there was a lot of frustration toward Kaitlyn that was finally able to breath once she left.

That's actually not how it works
The power is invisible. Bayleigh makes the nominations in the diary room, and when the HoH unveils the nominations, hers pop up instead. Bayleigh's side actually has a chance to run the table now if they can get another HoH win next week.

They talked about two separate things on RHAP for sure, but I'm assuming those are from the same person. Then last night before the extended interview got posted there was a comment thread on Reddit of someone talking about the interview, I'm trying to look for it now, but there's been so many posts concerning Kaitlyn I'm not sure what thread it was in. Just took it at face value cause it seemed to line up with what was said on RHAP. Could have even been the same person.

Seeing how the extra life power popped up last night, I'm guessing there will be some sort of similar pop up for the Identity Thief as well. I doubt it will just come off as the HOH's regular noms.

HoH has to own them as their own. It's a way way way way better conception of "America's Player".

Though...
Bayleigh apparently just told Angela about the power... who immediately told Rachel. She's blowing up her own game.

What? No. What HOH would sit through the nominations ceremony and be perfectly fine with different names coming up? lol You'd have to be stupid to be ok with all of a sudden your nominations coming up differently. Even if they told you before hand they'd have to go a far way to try and convince the HOH to accept them or not out right say they're not their noms. With America's Player the person is being rewarded or going with the knowledge of where the decisions are coming from. With this you're supposing that the player just gets screwed and just has to be ok with it during the ceremony? The only way it works is if the HOH is in the same position as the rest of the house and is just as confused and angry.

There is going to be some kind of acknowledgement that they're not the HOH's noms. There's just no way. In no way does it make sense to just change the noms and nothing is said about it.

Demanding loyalty from people? Acting this way with Fessy over JC? All the makings of a person who is going to make themselves a target very quickly.

This the damn season of HOH going to people's heads.

"Don't question my moves" shortly before "I have the right to question anything." Sounds perfectly rational.

Also telling Rachel about your power is a hall of fame level dumb play. Now that people know you have it and what it does they can game around it. You can easily be blindsided now if one of Tyler's group wins HOH. Automatic threat plus I have a feeling this week her stock is going to go down with the way she's being edited tonight...

They left out all the times she called JC a little thing and saying she'd step on him and stuff, so she's at least getting a somewhat nice edit lol

Yikes, the way she is treating people, even her own alliance, seems awful. That whole alliance seems like it's unraveling, at least that's the way the show is portraying it. Fessy getting so annoyed by Hayleigh and Bayleigh treating Fessy like shit.

Bayleighs time in that hoh competition was incredible though, not saying it was skill or anything but getting that time must have been so deflating for everyone else. Game was over 8 seconds after it began.

Bayleigh is an idiot, the way she's handling this HoH is stupid. That said, from her perspective, her nominations are fine. Telling Rachel she had the power app and what it does was fucking stupid. Why? Why through away your greatest strength for no reason? At this point, I'm hoping for a Tyler win, no one else really seems interested in playing this game in any capacity.

This. I was like what are you saying there. And then she repeated it. After they both talked about it to still do it but be angry he used the n word as an example says it all. She wants other people to learn not to use certain words but she doesnt have to follow her own rule.

Yeah, her nominations were good. Tyler is the real threat but no understands that, so going after Brett with Rachel as a consolation prize is good strategy.

Thinking more about it, she's in an alliance that is outnumbered. So beyond using her HOH to even the numbers, she should be using it to solidify another member - either JC or Scottie. I get that she doesn't trust Scottie, so the way she's handling JC is really poor planning.

Bayleigh is a big damn hypocrite. After the whole conservation with JC (where she kept on using the words he said were offensive to him while lecturing him about what he did), she continues to do stuff like this.

I've done a 180 on Bayleigh. When Swaggy was in the house I thought he was terrible and she was too by association. The fight with JC didn't help her at all. But now I'm impressed by her social game big time. She's not a floater and most in the house seem to genuinely like her. I could also just be crushing really hard

She was doing really well socially until she won an unneeded HOH. She not only wasn't a target, but was getting closer with L6. She blew that all up, let HOH go to her head, and with safety from the block has kinda of gone over the top on running her mouth.

Definitely. Like Sam's HOH, these people are really power tripping when they get in the room.
'If I don't put you up, you have to be loyal to me.'
What? Get bent girl. Your power lasts one week and then you get targeted for being a power hungry jackass.
The way she is handling JC, Fessey, and Scottie is the exact opposite of what she should be doing. Instead of strengthening alliances, she's power tripping her way out of everybody's favor.

I wonder if production is altering the schedule now that Kaitlyn choked on that easy puzzle challenge. I don't think they expected to be down a houseguest. Perhaps they'll eliminate a double eviction?

Right now I'm expecting some kind of battle back or something with the next 4 evictees. I don't think they would want to lose a double eviction, or whatever else is planned.

This cast has some kind of weird mob mentality going on this week with the noms.

All of a sudden everyone just turned and no one can stand Rachel. It's the weirdest damn thing. She's getting blamed for shit for no reason, even Angela is shitting on her every time she can. It's like a weird mob mentality of everyone sees her down so everyone is going to pile on.

I know we usually see this eventually in the house, but this early and with Rachel of all people just seems weird. Before this week I would have said she was in an amazing spot.

So JC is in the news again.... He asked Rachel if she was a real girl. Then said he heard a rumor she was "a trans" and then poked her in the neck saying she had a big adam's apple.
video: https://www.reddit.com/r/BigBrother/comments/93elwi/jc_asks_rachel_if_shes_trans_because_she_has_a/

article: https://www.usmagazine.com/entertai...mmed-for-asking-rachel-if-she-is-transgender/

Whats wrong with these people? I agree absolut mob mentality. Saying stuff like this is f** insulting. BB should show this on tv so everybody sees the ugly face of many of the HG.

Bay is absolutely driving me insane at this point. Nothing she says makes any sense whatsoever.

"It makes me question why I'm protecting you." You aren't protecting her, you literally put her on the block. You telling her about your power is not protecting shit.
"I'm supposed to be your number 1 priority" No, think that would be himself.
"You're going to come out of this HOH looking better than I do." Yes, but that's all 100% your fault.
"You put me in a box now." What are you even talking about?! Because she came to you to complain? You put her on the block, sorry you have to deal with complaints about that.
