Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 3 - Power of Veto

When we last left the All Stars:

Cody nominated Kevin and Keesha for eviction, after his original targets of Janelle and Kaysar entered the Safety Suite and both gained immunity from the week's eviction.

More alliances formed with handshakes exchanged between Cody and Nicole F....

Tonight sees the first Veto comp of the season as Kevin and Keesha look to avoid being the first All Star out

But first....

We see Cody in the Diary Room after nominations and he tells us that he nominated Keesha and Kevin because he has hardly got to know them. Straight onto the Anti Nicole (Franzel) and she says she doesn't trust Janelle. What is this woman's problem with some other women.

Back to Cody, and he explains to Kevin that he wants to work with him in the future, but Kevin is skeptical of Cody's intentions. There's a cute four letter word and Cody is full of it.

Meanwhile with Keesha, he says he hardly knows her and tells us in the Diary Room that she is the main target and wants her out.

The elusive Tyler makes an appearance next, saying the deals they all make with him just fall right into his lap.

As for Ian and Nicole being past winners, Nicole pitches they make a pact as past winners, with Ian unaware she has already decided on a possible final 2 with Cody and that Ian is only the plan B. Oh, how I would love to see the Anti Nicole go out the door early, she says Janelle can't be trusted? Pot meet kettle.

What some of you don't know, is that Ian has confessed to some of them that he self diagnosed himself as being on the spectrum. Me? I know where he's coming from as I AM on the spectrum, officially diagnosed since September 2019 and still trying to adjust the best I can

Veto picks and competition

Cody picks Tyler, Kevin picks Enzo via Houseguests choice and Keesha picks Kevin

Comp is called It's Bananas, and here is how it will work:

30 minute time limit, participants must rock their respective banana 20 times to get 90 seconds on their clock, and then must collect and stack produce on their basket. If time is short they can go and rock their bananas again to get more time, but they must not let their time run out or they will be eliminated. Whoever has stacked most produce after 30 minutes will be declared winner

After a lot of stacking collapsing stacks, Enzo manages to emerge the winner and with it gains Power of Veto

Shortly afterwards, Kevin feels confident Enzo will use the Veto on him for picking Enzo to play in the Veto. Kevin reports back to HQ aka Cody to say that if Enzo uses the veto on him, he will use his VIP pass in the next Safety Suite comp, and make sure Cody is the +1 along with promising him not to nominate Cody should Kevin win HoH. Cody mulls this over, but he seems set on one of Keesha or Kevin going

Moving on slightly, and Ian comes onto the block radar should the Veto be used as Enzo sees Nicole F and Ian talking, and again this is reported back to Cody.

Veto ceremony

It's as you were as Enzo decides NOT to use the Power of Veto, so it is guaranteed Kevin or Keesha will be the first out this season. 

To be continued in Episode 4, and the first eviction of this season. Although it does seem a formality as Keesha has done barely any campaigning to stay in at time of writing this.....But remember the old saying in the USA version, "expect the unexpected"

Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 2 - Safety Suite and Nominations

When we last left our All Stars, the dangers of live tv had left the Have not Room locked, and Julie teased the Safety Suite which we will see in due course. 

Current HoH - Cody

And already he has all but decided on Janelle and Kaysar to go on the block, and the honour of crying first in the Diary Room goes to Anti Nicole, that is Nicole F not the ever so adorable other Nicole....Go Nicole A, by the way. There is a logical question, why is Nicole F actually in there. She's already won a series, what else does she have to prove by going in again. She's weeping away in the Diary Room thanking Da'vonne for the vote which won her the series, but a short time later Da'vonne says in the Diary Room she won't let Nicole F screw her over again. Revenge is sweet, and I hope Da'vonne follows through with that.

Back to Nicole, and she is cementing an alliance with Cody. Nicole F certainly can't be trusted, if she goes early then so much the better

Safety Suite

For the next 3 weeks, the Safety Suite will be open for a limited amount of time before nominations. Inside the Suite there will be a one at a time competition where houseguests will be able to compete to be immune for that particular week. The VIP passes can only be used once, so once a houseguest uses their pass it is invalid to use again. It is up to the houseguests if or when they want to use the Safety Suite. Current HoH is not eligible to participate in their reign. Housemates who win immunity are able to name a +1, as in someone else who will be immune but the winner and +1 will have a punishment for the week

Pay attention as there will be questions later.....

Kayser and Janelle are first into the Safety Suite this season

Memory game, Janelle and Kaysar will a hear a song, then have to push buttons in the correct order to re-create that song. If they get a segment wrong they have to start over. Fastest wins.

Kaysar won with a time of 7:55 and made Janelle his +1, so Janelle will get a punishment for the week. So really, a waste of time for Janelle to use her pass as well.

Janelle's punishment was revealed to be that she had to dress up as a star for the week

Nominations

Cody's plan B as he was planning Janelle and Kaysar originally, he decided to go with KEESHA and KEVIN. He tells them not to take them personally.

Coming in Episode 3, it's the first Veto comp of the season, so who joins Keesha, Kevin and Cody in the competition. Find out in the next episode, as we take a step closer to seeing who will be the first All Star out of the door.

Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 1 - Launch

It's a new day and an all new series as we hit the road from Australia over to USA and people from past series converge on a brand new looking USA house

Ranging from series 6 to series 21, and some familiar and some not so familiar faces depending on what series you tuned in from. I know some of these will be new to me as I was on and off with the USA version a few times. Series 9 and then off until 13 and it's been non stop since then.

And so we move onto the last English speaking Big Brother of this year after Canada was cut short due to a certain pandemic, while Australia managed to get through their series, even though there was a brief pause with a crew member coming into contact with someone with Covid but thankfully said crew member tested negative.

Let's hope the USA series remain unaffected, and without further ado it's over to Julie as we kick off All Stars....

She explains about the Covid situation and how all possible precautions will be taken as we proceed through this series. And now bring on the houseguests....

They will be introduced in groups of four, and outside of the house they will wear masks for everyone's safety, but the masks can be removed once they are in the house....Shall we finally see who they are, let's do this

Group 1

Nicole F (Series 16 and 18)

Da'vonne (Series 17 and 18)

Daniele (Series 8 and 13)

Christmas (Series 19)

After a brief chat with Julie, Julie informs them that there will be a preliminary competition to decide who plays in the main HoH competition

Rules: The preliminary comp starts as soon as they enter the house, where they will be faced with a question in the backyard and the answer will be somewhere in the house. Once they find the answer, it's back to the backyard where they will use their assigned maze to direct their ball to the answer. First 2 to get the ball in the correct location qualify for the main competition. 4 minute time limit.

This will be rinse and repeat for the other groups that will come in as well, and once one group is done they will hide away from the other groups, and once everyone is done for this first comp they will all meet.

From Group 1, Christmas was the only one to qualify as the rest timed out, so she moves forward to the main comp later.

Group 2

Ian (Series 14)

Tyler (Series 20)

Kevin (Series 11)

Enzo (Series 12)

Ian and Kevin qualified for the main comp

Group 3

Nicole A(dorable) because she is so adorable (Series 21)

Janelle (Series 6, 7 and 14)

Bayleigh (Series 20)

Keesha (Series 10)

Nicole qualified, rest timed out

Group 4

Kaysar (Series 6 and 7)

Cody (Series 16)

Memphis (Series 10)

David (Series 21)

Cody and Memphis qualified

And now for the big get together, complete with lots of hugging and shouting. Julie is ever so slightly irritated as she has to keep repeating herself to get them to listen.

When she finally gets their attention, she explains that 6 will compete in the first HoH comp after qualifying from their various heats

This main competition is called Star Stepping, or the ultimate shin shredder as I like to call it in reference to the Stepping Stones game from a show called Takeshi's Castle.

Anyways the rules are the participants have to cross a field of stars using balance as some of the stars are balanced and some of them are very unsteady. If a houseguest falls they have to start over. Fastest at the end of the comp will be the new HoH.

And as an added bonus in this competition, there are envelopes at the side of the course. Some of which contain good or not so good prizes which will be revealed after the comp. Once each competitor finishes the course, they will each pick up one envelope, which are only to be opened on Julie's say so

Order of participation:

Memphis - 1:12.22

Cody - 22.06

To cut a long story short, Nicole, Christmas, Kevin and Ian timed out

Winner and first HoH of this season goes to Cody

As for the envelopes:

Christmas - $5,000

Everyone else as in Nicole, Kevin, Memphis and Ian are Have Not's

Julie directs the Have Nots to where they will be staying, but due to the dangers of live TV the Have Not door is locked, so they will have to wait a little while. For those who haven't got the pleasure of the feeds, will see them finally go in the Have Not room on Sunday

Back to the main area, where Julie comes back and tells them about the new Safety Suite room which will be revealed in due course and will be elaborated on come the next highlights show, everyone will get VIP passes but only two will get immunity from the first eviction. Then there is a tease about other rooms which will be revealed over the course of the series

Usual plug about how the series will work as in Nominations on a Sunday, Veto on a Wednesday and Eviction on a Thursday

To be continued in Episode 2 when Cody makes his nominations and we get to see the have not room along with the Safety Suite

And there we have it for the launch, thankfully only one part this time. A few notes in that there will be no live audiences this season for obvious reasons, and also that since most of the houseguests have partners on the outside, the chances of a showmance happening are slim to none which I can totally live with

A solid start I would say, but how many times have we said that over the years and then shortly afterwards the wheels come flying off because of some controversy..... Hopefully a series which will be talked about for the right reasons this year, as 2020 has been pretty much lousy all over the board for most.

And may I just say before the shout outs, COME ON, NICOLE A!!!!!!!

Big Brother Australia 2020 - Finale

And so the end is near, and it's time for this series to face it's final curtain

Perhaps not the final 3 everyone wanted, as the show was hell bent on pushing Bromance v Slowmance on us every other episode, and everyone not involved found their way to the door, and for Kieran some money to go with it.

So it's either Daniel (bully), Chad (dumbass), and Sophie (insert your own description here) who will take home the grand prize of over $230,000. I know, the agony of choice. Fill your

Maybe Sophie should just win as, and I've just seen this myself on Twitter by the way, 3 female winners out of 11 series. She would make a welcome addition to an otherwise male dominated role call of winners.

On to the show, and given the current events in the world it does feel very flat in the studio, and alarmingly social distancing is very hit and miss throughout

All housemates present and correct, with the exception of Laura and Zoe due to Covid restrictions preventing them travelling to the studio.

This is where it gets a bit, oh I don't know the words, meh I think would an accurate description as it's basically best bits of the housemates we have already seen in some form, and then conversation with said ex housemate, and rinse and repeat for the next ex and so on, and so on, and.....think you get the picture. Few examples:

Allan - https://twitter.com/bigbrother_au/status/1285873545923317761

Ian - https://twitter.com/bigbrother_au/status/1285878001821839360

Angela - https://twitter.com/bigbrother_au/status/1285879228605464582

This is only my opinion, and I'm not being bitter, but as soon as Angela left the wheels did come off gradually. She warned the non alliance members in there about a possible steamroll, but they chose to ignore the warning. 

For a lot of people, no matter what the BB Australia history books will say, Angela is and always will be this series People's Champion. Just a shame they don't have an Australia Favourite Housemate kind of vote.

Diary Room banter best bits - https://twitter.com/bigbrother_au/status/1285885003222548482

Hold your excitement, here come the final 3.....

https://twitter.com/bigbrother_au/status/1285887789851193345

Just feels like dummy Chad is getting the most promotion here, a pity that a slowmance which is unlikely to go the distance gets the most promotion, given how much him and Sophie were shoved down our throats at the expense of some non alliance members being given valuable airtime. 

Sophie is such a sweet girl, just hope she doesn't get her heart broken by that dummy

Anyway, back to the show and now the final 3 have to plead their cases to win and are then joined by loved ones. Daniel reunited with his ex Anna, Chad with his mum and Sophie with her mum and sister.

This is it then, the moment some have been waiting for as in finding out the winner of this series......after Sonia has mentioned there have been 700,000 votes.

Brace yourselves, folks.......The winner is CHAD!!!!!!

Stupidity wins out in the end and I'm not talking about the voters by the way as they can vote for who they like, and certainly a mixed response to that result. The dumbest player in BB Australia history wins.

With Sophie in very close attendance, he drops a very loud F bomb which Sonia has to apologise for, and then says he is going to spend the money on a boys trip and help his mum out. That's got to sting for Sophie, not one mention there. Is there really any point in her pursuing this slowmance with Chad.

And so that's it as Sonia signs off this year, and for me summing that series up with one name or word......ANGELA

Best there is, best there was and the best there ever will be and guaranteed to put smiles on faces for some in this year of constant bad news.

THE END

And so my friends, that is the end of the line for BB Australia, and now we move back over to North America and Big Brother USA, if it eventually goes ahead. Looks like it's going to be an All Stars version, and looking at some of the names..... One hint, one who I always think is so adorable to this day may be going in.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read these posts, and thank you all for the comments, shares, likes and retweets for this series.

Big Brother Australia 2020 - Episode 20

It's a new day yes it is, the battle of the ages. If you are a fan of the Bromance or Slowmance that is, as they are the final 4 for the BB Australia 

For the neutral it's pretty much meh, as everyone who didn't fit into this storyline have unfortunately found their way to the door, or in others cases a bunker or a white room.

This is what we have to work with, thankfully brief, but just a shame the two factions have come out on top.

Back to the present, and we open with messages from the former housemates, a sad reminder of what could have been in this series if more of the people outside of said factions had been allowed to shine some more rather than being pushed into the background. 

Another treat awaits the factions as in a champagne breakfast, as the last day in the house is dawning and once the final evictee is announced, everyone is out and it's off into the wild blue yonder.

Mat knows the challenge today is crucial, as Chad and Sophie will be gunning for him if one of them win....Sorry, but if Chad had used his pea that he calls a brain Mat would have already been out, and it would have been Daniel taking a walk.

Anyway, we move towards the final challenge of the series....But first, we look at some game talk from the two factions, both agreeing the opposite faction should be broken up.Tell us something we don't know.

On to the final challenge, labelled 'winner takes all'. In simple english, whoever wins gets the final vote and stamps their ticket to the final and the other 3 are on the block. Got it? good.....

4 long descending tracks are laid out, and housemates have to put a ball on the track, run down the stairs, and catch the ball. At random times, BB will instruct housemates to put another ball on the track in addition to the one or more they already have. If any of the balls hit the ground, then that housemate will be eliminated.

Order of elimination was Sophie, Daniel and then Mat. *Sigh* Chad wins. He can't fumble the ball this time. Daniel knows his or Mat's time is up, more likely Mat, and he and Mat get in Chad's ear about making the right choice.

But they are not the only ones wanting a word, as Chad is called to the Diary Room where he gets a call from his mum. Staying with Chad, after his shower, he talks things over with Sophie in terms of who to take with him. The agony of choice between Daniel and Mat.

Fast forward to eviction time for the final time this series, and the ever so lovely Sonia who congratulates Chad on making it to the finale, but the time has come to rubber stamp 4th place for one of those on the block.

And taking that particular honour will be Mat, the bromance FINALLY broken up. Shame it took this long to be honest, when it should have been ages ago. 

Sophie - My pick to win, and she can do a lot better than Chad on the outside

Chad - Prize money chicken feed to him, especially when any modelling contracts come calling

Daniel - Must have made a few bucks in his sporting career to tide him over

And so we move to the sad occasion of Big Brother saying goodbye to the housemates, as they all make their way to the exit and lots of fireworks.

Can Sophie be the first girl in 12 years in terms of BB Australia win? Or will the bully (Daniel) and bear in mind I don't throw that word around lightly, or the dummy known as Chad take the honours.

Australia, it's all down to you as tomorrow you decide which of these three not rights takes home the $235,000 prize

To be concluded in the Big Brother Australia 2020 finale, same BB time and same BB channel

Big Brother Australia 2020 - Episode 19

G'day citizens as we head into Finals Week, and we have our final 5 for this year.

In case you missed it:

Kieran left the house with $15,000 of the prize money after he pushed the button in the White Room, while Sophie went back to the house to resume her slowmance with Mr Modelling Career, Chad. Lucky us eh?

Bromance v Slowmance, oh and Sarah is still there as well. A little ray of light in the gloom, and one would think our only hope of stopping the seemingly inevitable battle of the alliances in the final four. Sorry to sound like a broken record here, but if only Chad had done his job a few days ago as in putting up both of the bromance, then we wouldn't be sitting here having these same thoughts on what might of been and what direction this series could have taken.

But that is the way the icecube crumbles, and why things are the way they are. You had one job, Chad, and you blew it.

Anyway, back to the present and the slowmance is back in all it's glory as we get a few shots of Chad and Sophie. Never a bucket around when you want one. Although if it upsets the Bromance, then all the better, as they are not happy about this recent development.

As Sophie states:

“I had two dreams. One was going to the Olympics and that never happened. The other was Big Brother. To be able to stand there on the last day, it would just complete me,”

Meanwhile, Sarah is really happy that Sophie is back. She could do with some backup in the female, but how loyal will Sophie be so close to the end, and that prize money in sniffing distance.

But wait, we have an intruder and I'm not talking about the two legged kind, more four legs and as cute as a button. Welcome Banjo the golden retriever to the house, even if it's only for an hour. He's so ridiculously cute. A nice little segment, 'nuff said.

Back to house business, and we start the first of today's challenges where the housemates have to collect falling grain in their buckets and run up some stairs and put it back in their respective funnels, before the funnels ran dry. Whoever's ran out first would be the first on the chopping block, and the unlucky housemate turned out to be Sarah.

It also turns out that since Mat had his vote from the White Room left over, as in he would have had the casting vote if Kieran or Sophie hadn't of pushed the button. This vote has carried over into today, so he gets an extra vote come eviction time.

Disappointing outcome on both counts, they (BB) really are pushing for this Bromance v Slowmance final four and the outcome of today's vote seems all but certain. But stranger things have happened....We'll just have to wait and see.

As in the second challenge of the day, which does look strangely intriguing. Basically, the premise is that everyone except Sarah will be locked in a cage that rapidly fills with water. First stage they have to open a combination lock, then get a set of keys which will open their 5 padlocks. First to do so gets to pick the other nominee to sit alongside Sarah.

Lose lose with this one given it's the potentially preliminary Bromance v Showmance, and on this occasion it's the inept and clueless Chad who takes the honours and no prizes for guessing which alliance he will gun for, and in saying water is wet he chooses Mat to sit beside Sarah.

Sarah takes everything pretty well, and hopes to talk Daniel around into getting rid of Mat. But realistically he won't do that. She does her best plea to Daniel, imploring him to think about the game rather than the bromance.

Fast forward to eviction time, and the usual appearance from the ever lovely Sonia, looking pretty in pink today I may add.

Sarah's pleas to Daniel fell on deaf ears as expected, and with Mat's advantage of an extra vote we have a Bromance v Slowmance final 4....Yawn, 'nuff said. One of these alliances is going to win unfortunately.

Angela warned the neutrals what would happen, and nobody listened

Before closing time, the final four are told it is 'winner takes all' and 3 will face the chopping block and the winner of the challenge gets the sole vote.

Really does feel now like, who wins who cares.....

The last step before the live finale is looming, who will be the 3 on the block and who will get the sole vote.....Find out soon, same BB time, same BB channel

Big Brother Australia 2020 - Episode 18

And so we go into the final episode before Finals Week, and there are two occupants of the White Room in Kieran and Sophie. Each with an equal chance of winning some of the prize money, with the person who doesn't steal some of the money to go back into the house, both with axes to grind with the bromance.

At the moment it's down to Sarah to stop the worst possible scenario in those three, but hopefully some backup will arrive when Kieran or Sarah get back.

So we start today with Chad mooning, not like that, over Sophie. He's fooling nobody, he's really thinking of those lovely modelling contracts possibly coming his way after the show. That's all he is there for, seriously.

And it's good news for the main house occupants, as everything is back to normal as in everything is back where it should be, including the pool water. So what was the point of yesterday then? Answers on a postcard please.

Mr. Modelling Career has gone to Big Brother to tell them his plan of getting back at the bromance for getting rid of Sophie. This coming from the same guy who completely bottled out of putting those two on the block, and ridding the house of one of them.

Blockhead's first port of call is with Mat, who asks him if he is down to go to final 3 but Chad says Sarah and himself go a long way back and it will be her he goes to final 3 with. So much for keeping things subtle.

Today's first glimpse of the White Room, and Sophie is already making out her revenge list against the bromance, in writing "Revenge is a b***h" on the wall.

Sarah's still there in case anyone hadn't noticed, and she's onto Daniel and Mat as well. Who isn't? This is all on Chad, he had one job and he blew it. Sorry to sound like a broken record about this, but it's so infuriating how this series endgame could have played out if the bromance were split up. Sarah makes it her mission to make sure it's not an all male final 3, good luck to her.

For the first challenge of the day

And these tennis balls really could come at any time, as the boys and Sarah find out over time. Lots of missed shots, and the shopping budget continues to shrink. But does it really matter how much they got, as they will all be gone soon anyway

Anyways fast forward to another message from home and it's Sarah who is the lucky recipient who gets to talk to her mum, to tell her about making final 4. Our only hope, along with whoever comes back from the White Room of stopping the bromance in its tracks.

Quickly onto the nominations challenge, as there's not much else and the rules are:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ec8-3tNU8AYVwKG?format=png&name=medium

Yes, your eyes are not playing tricks, NO eviction tonight with The White Room twist taking centre stage, plus it's not the usual power obviously. That new power will be revealed in a little while.

Back to the noms challenge, and Chad is eliminated first by Daniel. He then eliminates Sarah and it's down to the bromance to which Mat wins, which as per the pre comp stipulation he gets an advantage. 

Fast forward now to a final 4 party, but it's wouldn't be Big Brother without some sort of stirring would it, and right on cue here comes the big man as he reveals the White Room. Just the look on the bromance's faces is pleasure itself.

Enter Sonia on the big screen, her announcement to the White Room in full:

“On the screen before you, an amount of money will gradually increase over one minute,”

“At any point during this minute, either of you can press your red button, freezing the total. Whoever presses the button will be allowed to keep the money. But must leave the Big Brother house for good. Whoever doesn’t press there button will receive a second chance and return to the Big Brother house.”

“Oh and one more thing – the money you’ll be tempted with will be taken out of the overall prize money,”

Said without trying not to burst out laughing, so to put it in simple terms one will get some money and do a runner, while the other can go and try and get their revenge back in the house. As in they are back in the game the moment they step back in there

The money counter will go up, not down. Whoever presses the button at whatever amount gets that amount. Did I ever say I cannot stand it when the prize fund is mucked around with no matter what version of the show it is.

Additional rule, if nobody presses their button then challenge winner Mat will have the deciding vote on who goes back in.

All academic anyway as Sophie has decided she is NOT pressing her button, leaving the field open for Kieran, who presses his button at the $15,000 dollar mark and leaves the house with that amount. 

Sophie, inevitably looking for all those lovely magazine deals with Chad, re-enters the house for her big reunion with Mr. Modelling Career. Buckets being handed out at the door, can't see this one lasting too long on the outside. As soon as that first modelling contract lands, he'll be off.

Meanwhile the bromance, still smarting from that twist probably because they couldn't get Kieran out on their terms, have the mother of all tantrums. The bullies, and I don't use that word lightly, got outsmarted and they go crying to Big Brother. Big Brother in no uncertain terms tells them to eff off and also that 'that's the name of the game'.

And there is the question of Sophie's revenge as we head into Finals week....What exactly that will entail remains to be seen, but we are back up to five now. Tune in for the endgame for this season next week, same Big Brother time same Big Brother channel
