Big Brother USA 2018 - Episode 19 - Power of Veto 6

In our last BB USA adventure:

"The fitness model (Angela) was poised for power, and she wanted to backdoor Bayleigh. But she made the flight attendant feel safe. At the nominations ceremony Angela put up two pawns from the other side of the house (Scottie and Angie). A new twist was let loose on the game. At the inaugural Hacker competition, Haleigh decrypted the code to power, and the Texas girl decided to keep her big win a secret. With the power to hack the nominations, Haleigh anonymously saved Scottie and shocked the house with her new nominee (Tyler). Tonight, the Power of Veto is on the line. Will Tyler thwart the hacker and save himself or is the lifeguards game sunk?"

No opening credits as we get straight down to business after Haleigh replaced Scottie with Tyler in part 1 of her power. Tonight sees part 2, in that she gets to pick one player for the Veto competition.

Tyler: So the hacker announces he's taken down Scottie and is putting me up. I'm pissed, I want to find who this stupid hacker is, get myself off the block, make sure they go up there and they go home

Haleigh: I put up Tyler because he has been floating by, and not getting noticed. I personally think he has a lot more going on in this game than everyone's giving him credit for

Angela: This is really frustrating. I don't know who this hacker is. All I know is that I have to win this Veto to take Tyler off the block and follow through with my plan to backdoor Bayleigh

Brett tells Tyler there is still the Veto and to keep his head screwed on, while Scottie mutters to himself about what is going on

Scottie: I'm not really sure why the hacker decided to take me off the block, but I'm kind of glad they did. I just hope they are not trying to backdoor me by taking away my chance to play Veto

In the bedroom, Haleigh is telling Bayleigh and Angie everybody is really shaken up right now. Not for the first time this season, Scottie is accused of something he didn't do, this time for targetting Tyler. Angie points out Scottie could pick himself to play in the Veto

Haleigh: I feel bad for leaving Angie on the block, but taking her down would have made it way too obvious I am the hacker. It is so important for me to keep the fact that I am the hacker secret, because I'm still not safe this week. Just because I am the hacker does not mean I won't end up on the block

JC asks Tyler straight out if he was the hacker and put himself on the block, to which Tyler denies. Tyler then points the finger at Bayleigh, and JC wonders if Bayleigh would actually do what he asked Tyler.

Tyler: Pretty sure it was Bayleigh as the hacker, because last week I lied to her and told her Scottie was my best friend. That one backfired on me, because what better way to pit us against each other than to take him off the block and put me up and frame him to make it look like he did it.

In the HoH room, there is speculation between JC, Angela and Kaycee that Bayleigh is the hacker. JC says Bayleigh needs to be on the block against Angie. Angela suggests confronting Bayleigh, but JC warns her to wait until nominations are locked in, due to Bayleigh still having her Identity Theft power.

Angela: Originally I thought the hacker was Scottie, because Scottie immediately came down off the block, and then I realised Scottie was smarter than that. That's a little obvious. So who's probably lying? She (Bayleigh) has been acting super weird, she's on the other side of the house and it makes sense only to put the blame on Bayleigh

Still in the HoH room, the planning begins to win Veto and get Tyler off the block

Angela: Tyler being on the block is horrible for Level 6, so to increase our odds of pulling Tyler down we need Kaycee to play in the Veto competition

Kaycee tells Angela that Bayleigh will be in the HoH room just after she finishes working out

Angela: Kaycee and I definitely think Bayleigh is the hacker. The hacker has the ability to pick one player for the Veto competition. If we can convince Bayleigh we will keep nominations the same, maybe she is dumb enough to pick Kaycee to play

Angela concocts a story that she and Kaycee love Tyler and hate seeing him sad. Angela points out that Tyler is a strong competitor, and he's a good person to get out because he wins a lot of competitions. Kaycee seems very confident Bayleigh will go home if she is put on the block against Angie.

Now for the plan itself, and Kaycee is finding it very hard to keep a straight face throughout this conversation with Bayleigh

Bayleigh: Kaycee and Angela wanting to keep nominations the same is perfect for me. We have Tyler on the block. Tyler is a physical threat and everybody loves him in this house, and that would be good if he goes home. Plus if nominations stay the same, there's no chance of me going the block and that's great for my game.

Angela: Bayleigh, believing everything we are saying, but if me or Kaycee win this Veto then there is no way Tyler is going to stay on the block. I'll make sure that you wind up on there.

In the bathroom, Faysal is contemplating with Haleigh who the hacker will pick for the Veto competition

Haleigh: Right now everyone is talking about the hacker, and speculating who it is. I'm not sure who I will pick to play in the Veto, but I need to make sure I don't pick anyone who will raise some red flags for myself or my alliance members.

Bayleigh walks into the bathroom, and once again the finger of suspicion falls on Scottie, and a new name is thrown into the mix as in Kaycee.

Veto player picks

Slightly different this week, as the hacker gets to pick one Veto player as per the hacker power. But as always the HoH and nominees (Angela, Angie and Tyler) play automatically. 

Before the two picks are chosen, the hacker graphic appears on the plasma and names KAYCEE as their pick

The other two Veto players chosen via random draw are Scottie and Brett (Angela's choice) 

Hosting the competition will be Jesse Godderz from Seasons 10 and 11

Veto competition



This competition is called Space Pecs, and here is how it works. Basically the houseguests have to roll a ball up and down ramps for a fixed number of times in each round. If a houseguest's ball hits the ground, their score is reset to zero. The houseguest in last place in each round is eliminated from the competition, but everyone gets a prize or punishment, and these can be traded in each round if the houseguest chooses. Whoever is holding the Veto prize at the end, you get the picture.......

For example if someone gets the Veto, and then someone gets cash as the next prize they can trade it for the Veto or keep their prize the same.

Understood? I hope so as there will be questions later ;)

Off we go....

ROUND 1

Target - 25

6th place - Angie

Prize: Veto

ROUND 2

Target - 35

5th place - Angela

Prize: Jessie's Fitness and Food Program

Angela trades for the Veto, so Angie now has the fitness and food program

ROUND 3

Target - 40

4th place - Kaycee

Prize: Trip to Hawaii

Kaycee declines a trade

ROUND 4

Target - 50 

3rd place - Brett

Prize: The Health Nut

Brett trades his prize for the trip to Hawaii, so Kaycee has the Health Nut 

ROUND 5 

Target - 100

2nd place - Scottie

Prize: $5,000

Scottie declines a trade

Winner - Tyler

Prize: InstaGranny

Tyler trades his prize for the trip to Hawaii, so Brett gets the InstaGranny prize

Tyler wins the competition, but does not have the Veto so Angela is the Veto holder

Prizes in full:

Angela - Veto
Angie - Fitness and Food program
Brett - InstaGranny
Kaycee - Health Nut
Scottie - $5,000
Tyler - Trip to Hawaii

Just to explain some of the prizes, as 3 of them speak for themselves


  • Health Nut - Kaycee has to wear a Health Nut costume for a week
  • InstaGranny - Brett has to look after Jesse's gran for 24 hours
  • Fitness and Food Program - Angie has to make health drinks and exercise as and when instructed by Jesse
Angela: I got 5th place, but still managed to keep hold of this little baby (Veto). I always get what I want. Now I can reclaim my place as HoH and get back at the hacker

Bayleigh: Girl, I am flabbergasted, shook and shocked. Angela is promising safety to everyone. But in my head I am like, what are you thinking, because I know Angela wants to keep the nominations the same. So let me in on the secret as I am not aware.

Haleigh: So Tyler, the person that I nominated, is sitting on the block and chooses not guarantee safety for the week, and takes the trip to Hawaii instead. Fantastic choice, Tyler, but hopefully that's your last move in the game.

Angela tells Tyler she didn't know what to do, and was scared to give the Veto to Scottie. Tyler says he is not mad at Angela. They share a hug and she says she was freaking out during that competition.

Tyler: I didn't win the Power of Veto myself, but I'm going to Hawaii and I didn't take Scottie's $5,000, so when Scottie is safe he is going to 100% trust us and the best part is the hacker is going on the block

Big Brother summons Kaycee to the Diary Room, and a short while later she emerges in her Health Nut costume which she must wear for a whole week, and also when the Space Pecs jingle sounds she must sing along to it.

We will make your bodies hard, from your pecs to your butts, when it comes to working out, I'm totally nuuuuts

Next up is Angie's punishment which is explained above, she works out with Sam

Bayleigh: I need to talk to Angela, because what I saw in that Veto competition was crazy as hell, and I want to know what she is thinking

She doesn't have to explain anything to you or anyone else, Bayleigh, it's none of your business

Bayleigh urges Angela to take Angie down and put Scottie back on the block, little knowing of course she is the primary target of Angela's

Angela: I'm not taking anything Bayleigh is saying seriously. I'm just keeping her calm until the Veto ceremony

Veto ceremony

Angela unsurprisingly chooses to use the Veto on Tyler, and replaces him with Bayleigh and cue lots of shocked faces.

Angela thinks Bayleigh is the hacker, but the face of the real hacker as in Haleigh tells a thousand words.

Bayleigh or Angie will be the first jury member for this season, either one will be VERY bitter.

And that's a wrap for this episode, and to be continued in Episode 20

Final thoughts

Haleigh has covered her tracks pretty well, but there are signs there she will crack under the guilt and get Bayleigh off the hook in terms of the accusation. Not that it will make a blind bit of difference anyway, as Bayleigh's fate is all but sealed after her massive power trip when she was HoH. Can only see this going one way, and it's probably bye bye Bayleigh.
