Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 31 - Final 5: Eviction

 Off we go again, chums, as Nicole's HoH reign comes to a close and the worst final 5 become the worst final 4, as Memphis or Christmas will be heading to jury shortly

Sadly, Princess Tippy Toes aka Nicole has all the power as in HoH AND Veto. I know, lucky us eh?

So whoever survives tonight has to win HoH, anyone but Cody you could say. But as seen in previous weeks it's all sheep together in there.

My predictions whoever wins HoH, and this is soley on who survives this episode

Cody - Christmas and Enzo
Memphis - Enzo and Nicole
Enzo - Christmas and Nicole
Christmas - Cody and Nicole

Nicole can't play this week as outgoing HoH, but she can play Veto

Wonder what oh so wonderful filler we will get tonight given nobody is likely to campaign to stay in there until we hear their final pleas

Well there is the jury house and Tyler arriving, and a new experience for him. He shows them how he came to end up in the jury house.

Day challenged him about the BLM nonsense and him threatening to self evict, and Tyler gets tearful about this saying he was serious, and that Christmas talked him out of it. In reality Aunty Alison talked him out of it, saying he wasn't allowed to go.

Mostly jury tonight, seeing the remaining players haven't talked game much. Next we see the jury get videos from home.

Dani sees her husband and daughter, and Day gets to see her kids amongst other things. 

Thankfully not much filler from the main house, which can only be a good thing.

Eviction vote

Memphis was evicted 2-0, and then there were 4. To be fair it was always going to be Memphis.

Christmas guaranteed to go up I would assume, so she really needs to win this next one, but remember it's not the HoH that's crucial in the final 4. It's the Veto, as that holder has the sole vote to send 4th place to jury.

So anyway, the comp is called Knight Moves and we get to see Kaysar again, but were the final 4 so happy to see him, like hell they were.

Brief description of the comp, all houseguests will be on a life size chess board, and move in any direction turning the tile they have just been on. Once a tile has been turned, they cannot go on that tile and so on and so forth. Elimination occurs when a house guest can't move in any direction. Last houseguest standing is new HoH.

But that will have to wait for episode 32, but on the plus side we got to see Kaysar so not all bad I guess.

Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 30 - Final 5: Power of Veto

Two more weeks of this, as we take another step towards the end with another Veto competition which is of particular importance to Memphis and Christmas, seeing as they are on the block.

Princess Tippy Toes aka Nicole won HoH, much to viewer and Christmas disappointment. Obviously we didn't shed too many tears, as most have zoned out from this season given how it's all gone up to this point, but Christmas...Just wow, she really let loose with her tears, some may crocodile tears given how OTT she was going.

Anyways, as above her and Memphis have been put on the block pre-Veto. Not much point putting game talk up as there practically wasn't any. We are all aware how much Nicole feels about other women and besides she is in full 'how dare Tyler and Christmas even think about trying to get me out' mode. Tyler's now gone and Christmas, well, it was coming wasn't it.

Nicole and Cody a step closer to that final two, the houseguests were fully aware what that wall yeller said about Nicole and Cody playing everyone, and they've only got themselves to blame.

As per with these ones left, nothing much of interest as usual after the noms ceremony. Oh, Christmas is talking to a rubber duck, seriously. That's how short of game talk they are with the motley crew. And it just gets better now with talk about teapots.....

Let's throw in a flashback from series 19 as well where Josh evicts Christmas and takes Paul to final 2, one of the worst series ever but this one is pushing that one pretty close.

To say it is all too easy for Cody and Nicole right now would be a huge understatement

Veto comp

The return of a fan favourite as in the comic books, but wish they could have done this earlier in the season when the season was more livelier rather than now when it's just completely flat

The name of the game is to collect the comics that are identical to the ones they view as they zipline past the window, there are a few red herrings with not so viewable differences. Fastest houseguest wins the Veto

Little note that Cody actually trashed Keesha and Kaysar in a Diary Room segment during this comp. To that I say, screw you Cody. At least they didn't resort to cheating before coming into this season

*sigh* And it's Princess Tippy Toes with all the power as she takes another comp win and wins Veto. Let me guess, she's not going to use it.

Veto ceremony

And would you look at that, Nicole does not use the Veto and it will be Christmas the convicted criminal or the racist Memphis who will be going to jury.

Tune into Episode 31 to find out who is next to jury, and who possibly will be the final 4 HoH

Who goes to jury or wins overall.....Who the hell cares

Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 29 - Final 5: HoH conclusion and Nominations

So it's bye bye to Tyler, who makes his debut in jury. Christmas still hanging on in there, as the worst final 6 become the worst final 5 for this season

Just all too easy for Cody and Nicole right now, despite the wall yeller tipping everyone off a few weeks that those two were playing everyone, and there they are heading into final 5. Imperative to split these two up, but given the sheep mentality of the biggest alliance, and the fact said alliance have been too chicken shit to make big moves all season, who is going to have the balls to do it if/when the time comes.

Although it does feel somewhat irrelevant, who wins? Who the hell cares. Let's just get this season done and brushed under the carpet.

HoH comp

In case you missed the end of the last show, this competition involves stacking pumpkins in a basket at the end of each houseguests balance beam. If a pumpkin falls out of the basket, or the houseguest falls off their beam then they have to start over again with their stacking. The first houseguest to stack all pumpkins and then push the button will be the new HoH. Cody is ineligible to play as outgoing HoH.

And would you believe it, Nicole finally gets her first HoH win, lucky us eh? When she should have been out of the door in the triple if not for Enzo, now she's HoH, and you know the old saying about hell hath no fury. Just a question of who's going to go up with Christmas, I would guess. 

Of all the people to win HoH, and at this stage in the game as well

Christmas is absolutely wailing out the tears, we know she feels when it comes to this season, but she is just so hysterical it would be a bit mean to laugh out loud. Be Kind protocol and all that.

And yes it will come as no shock, Nicole settles on Memphis and Christmas for the block.

Just why oh why didn't this imbeciles just listen to that wall yeller CODY AND NICOLE ARE PLAYING EVERYONE.

A rare who wants to see my HoH room segment, rare as in we hardly see them these days in the USA version, and even when she gets a letter from her other half, Nicole still finds something to complain about. Ungrateful little....

Why Enzo why, you could have made a big move in getting rid of her, and you blew it you coward.

Seriously, peeps, the footage tonight is dreadful hence the short bursts tonight. They are THAT short of game talk with this lot.

Nomination ceremony

No great shock, it's Christmas nominated along with Memphis. The convicted criminal or the racist, whoever goes if they are still on the block for the eviction episode, will anyone shed any tears or be disappointed. I certainly won't

Next up in episode 30, we have the final 5 Power of Veto where everyone plays. Two weeks of this season left, and a series that is going to be talked about for all the wrong reasons no matter who wins. Something which us in the UK are used to, especially when it came to the Five era of Big Brother.

Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 28 - Final 6: Eviction and Final 5: HoH begins

Cody's looooooong week as HoH finally comes to an end and it will be Tyler or Christmas off to jury. Tyler looking like hot favourite to go to jury, but Christmas would be a neat consolation prize

Obviously some still watching are hoping this coming week that Cody or Nicole will find their way to jury, hopefully they will get it right this time if that is the case of those two being in those seats this time next week

Anyway back to the present, and Julie welcomes us in and she gets ready to greet Tyler or Christmas from a distance once one of them leaves

In case you missed it, the post is out there in the archive if you did, Cody won Veto.....I know, yawn. Good thing he can't play in the next HoH comp but there is still Nicole and Memphis and if one of them win you can be sure it will be whoever survives tonight and Enzo saying hello to the two seats this coming week.

Just please no more recaps of last week's triple disaster, there's only so much one can take. But then again, god knows what filler we are likely to get as there hasn't been much game talk on the feeds.

Argh, and it's ANOTHER recap of last week's disaster, thankfully a little shorter this time. Jury house finally making an appearance, so at least we'll see the non alliance members who, in my opinion, got screwed out of playing this game properly. Oh and Dani as well before Tyler or Christmas arrive.

Nicole or Christmas seem to be targets next week, but we know Cody won't allow Nicole to go on the block as their final 2 seems to be locked in as per what the wall yeller said a  few weeks ago about Cody and Nicole playing everyone.

Jury house

So far it's Ian, Day, Kevin, David and Dani

Ian finds out about Nicole's rogue vote from Day, and looks really gutted even though he says he isn't. Will be interesting to see where his vote goes in jury. On a side note, Day did apologise to David in the house about being mad at him, yes in the house as a wall yeller revealed the truth about Nicole's deceit. Wall yellers are not something that are talked about in these episodes, so may be a bit confusing to the casuals who only follow the episodes. But also, listening to a few podcasts David did admit in some interviews he didn't do any homework as in not watching previous seasons before going in.

Back to the jury house, and enter Dani. She immediately says she played a much better game than Nicole. Then why is she in jury house then and not Nicole.... Seriously, Dani, so so bitter just because you went out. Accept it, and stop saying you are not bitter when you really are.

Eviction vote

Why do they keep trying to persuade us this is the best final 6, when it's clearly one of the worst

As expected, it's adios to Tyler and then there were 5, thankfully though none of this 5 left are in the running for America's Favourite Player, suppose that's something. Looks like that honour is going to go to Janelle or Day.

Another week at least, of smug Christmas, but unfortunately the danger of Nicole winning goes up a notch

HoH comp

Cody is ineligible to play as outgoing HoH

Balance competition which won't be finished in this episode, so it's onto episode 29. The objective is to get all their pumpkins into their respective baskets at the end of their beam and balance on the beam while loading up. If they fall off their beam or any pumpkins fall out of their basket they have to start over again

Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 27 - Final 6: Power of Veto

It's close to another episode, and the alliance drags on to the end of this week with Cody in power as in HoH

Well alliance may not be the right word now, as Nicole has decided 'how dare they even think of evicting me', as people are aware she so wants to be a two time winner, and unfortunately they may gift this to her on a silver plate. So it looks like it's Tyler, Christmas and Enzo against Cody, Nicole and Memphis.

Battle of the ages, said nobody ever

Soooooo, for anyone still interested Cody nominated Tyler and Christmas. No real surprise there now it's 3 on 3 heading into the final straight

Off we go unto the breach again

Another recap of the disaster known as the triple eviction, then we get Enzo ratting to Nicole about Tyler and Christmas's plan to get her out. Oh yeah, and Christmas is crying to Cody despite saying she hasn't taken her nomination personally which Cody can see right through. It really is nailed on for him to win the whole thing, well him or Princess Tippy Toes. Her winning would be the ending this season deserves. 

Pointless filler alert, as Memphis talks about his dead dad and also his son. Tyler chimes in as well about his dad, and also Angela. They really are scrambling for footage to show of this lot.

Christmas is saying she is suspicious about Cody and Nicole, didn't she listen to the wall yeller who gave them that info for free a few weeks ago. 

Veto competition

Everyone plays from now with so few left in the house

Baseball theme today. Houseguests, one at a time, have to put pictures of evicted houseguests at a baseball game in timeline order. Time limit of 25 minutes. Fastest houseguest win Veto

And would you believe it, Cody wins all the power again and it does seem the target has now switched to Tyler instead of Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, she self proclaims herself as a comp beast, which is a joke in itself as she barely had to do anything to win HoH a few weeks back. Even then she was like a kid on Christmas morning, saying to anyone who would listen to what she had gotten as presents.

Veto ceremony

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Cody does not use the Veto

None of this 6 have been to jury so it will be a new experience for them, just thought I would throw that in

Tyler or Christmas, who is next to meet Julie and then go to jury....Who goes, THEY decide but who actually gives a damn right now as this ship has sailed and indeed sunk.

Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 26 - HoH and Nominations

Seriously, what is the point with this final six who have basically steamrolled everyone else not in their alliance out of the house

Although they did have to give up one of their own, but that is little consolation for the rest of us and renders these last three week absolutely pointless as they can just cruise now. No PoC's left either, just a load of nasties formed before the season started.

No headaches for them in terms of gameplay, too comfortable from day one as most of them had already been teamed up by two people too chicken shit to play themselves, won't name names as their names have tainted this season whoever wins

In case you missed it, and a good thing that you did as it was thoroughly predictable from start to finish, Kevin, David and Dani were all shown the door in a triple disaster. Where do we start with this debacle, Kevin was all but out anyway, but of course then we were treated to another Memphis HoH and yet again he put David up, and this time David went. Although it should be noted, that Enzo absolutely bottled it as he had the vote which could have got out a big threat in Nicole, but noooooooo he ruined things by following orders and getting rid of David. Big mistake which will cost him, and these morons will regret it at the end if Nicole goes on to win this season. 

Finally they had to lose one of their own, and they settled on Dani. No great loss really as she was NEVER going to win.

If you also count the tech error as in them seeing the TRIPLE EVICTION on the wall behind Julie, a complete disaster of an episode, and I'm sure Julie would have had a few words to say backstage.

So a good night if you are a Committee supporter, but not if you are a neutral. One of them has to win unfortunately, so it's pretty much game over in terms of it being competitive.

Game talk is going to be in very short supply, so will be interesting to see what the filler is going to be before we get to finale night.

Was very reluctant not to write any more summaries until finale night, but the show must go on even though I am personally not very enthusiastic to see this lot pat each other on the back and be very smug all the way to the end

A coward (Enzo), Princess Tippy Toes (Nicole), Aunty Alison's favourite (Tyler), Derrick's lackey (Cody), a convicted criminal (Christmas) or a racist (Memphis)....One of these is going to win, lucky us eh? Worst final 6 ever? Probably....

And of course we start with the VERY long triple eviction disaster recap, oh please can we just skip over this and get the HoH comp underway

Seriously, those who are not watching you are not missing ANYTHING

HoH comp

Tyler ineligible to play as outgoing HoH

Namaste off the Block is the name of the game, and it's keep buttons pressed while coming out of various Yoga attires. One button, 10x faster, two buttons 30x faster and 60x faster for three

Cody wins HoH, just give him or Nicole the cheque now so we can end this shitshow season

Note, apparently the Committee is no more as Nicole is so mad at Tyler and Christmas for trying to get her out, that it's now Nicole, Cody and Enzo against Christmas, Tyler and Memphis. A battle for the ages I must say....

Nomination ceremony

For those that still care, Cody nominated Christmas and Tyler

To be continued with Episode 27, when everyone plays in the Veto as they are down to 6

Big Brother USA All Stars 2020 - Episode 25 - Triple Eviction

Roll up, roll up. The triple eviction is upon us, and the big alliance finally has to say bye bye to some of its numbers once they dispose of Kevin, even though it does seem academic now that one of them is probably going to win this whole thing to the surprise of absolutely nobody.

Cody has all the power for a few more hours, but whoever survives out of Kevin or David will have to have a few comps of their lives tonight. Not getting my hopes up though, and it will be yet another few wins for the alliance. Changed my predictions slightly for tonight as well, as in Kevin out for sure and now I think Christmas and Dani will be out as well.

Still not caring about this alliance imploding, they should have been taken out weeks ago but they have steam rolled this house to shit, and....well you know the rest if you have been watching the show or reading these posts

Anyway, to tonight's proceedings and remember it is a 2 hour show with so much to fit in as there will be comps galore, and 3 evictions obviously. I do wonder about all the bits in between as there hasn't been much game talk in there, but there is a rumour production have, through Dr. Will, tipped them off about the triple tonight so will be interesting to see their reaction.

4 comps announced for tonight as the voiceover says

Cue the usual edit to make it look like this first eviction is going to be close when it's really not, and dam it, it is true. They HAVE been tipped off about tonight, and David of all people indirectly works it out shortly afterwards. Thanks a lot, production, some of us were actually looking forward to seeing their shocked little faces.

Eviction #1

As expected, Kevin is the first evictee tonight, and becomes the 3rd jury member for this season

HoH comp

No powers anymore, so Cody as outgoing HoH is ineligible to play in this first comp of the evening

Looks like a Q and A comp about Dr. Will, straight elimination if it's a wrong answer. Last houseguest standing is temporary HoH #1 of the evening

*SIGH* Notch another one up for the alliance as Memphis is the first HoH of this evening, oh I do wonder who he is going to nominate

Noms ceremony

Memphis nominates David and Nicole.....So predictable from Memphis. 'nuff said.

Veto comp

Joining Memphis, Nicole and David in this comp will be Tyler, Dani and Christmas

This next competition they have to go across their respective balance beams and rearrange a puzzle from Fire to Ice. First houseguest to complete the task and push the bell will win Veto

Another predictable alliance win as Christmas wins the comp and Veto. She decides not to use it. Big surprise...not. Such chicken shit in this alliance.

Eviction #2

And the honour of evictee #2 for tonight is of course David, and with that that is all the non alliance members gone. Enzo with the decisive vote to get rid of Nicole, and he screwed it right up.

HoH comp 2 of the night

An absolute clanger is dropped as production fail to take Julie off the screen, and as the houseguests flood back to the living room they see the words TRIPLE EVICTION scrolling behind Julie. You really couldn't write this....Oh wait in this season you can. I suspect Julie will be having a few words to some people backstage once this episode is wrapped up.

Memphis ineligible to play in this one

More questions and it's the traditional What Happened When, as in answering questions about past events this season. Last houseguest standing wins.

Little point in saying another alliance win now, and it's TYLER who takes the penultimate win of the evening

Noms ceremony

Tyler nominates Dani and Nicole

Veto comp

Joining Tyler, Dani and Nicole will Christmas, Cody and Enzo

Same competition as the first Veto comp, so no explanation necessary

And it's Tyler taking the final win of the evening, hmmmm wonder if he will use the Veto. In a evening of complete surprises, he does not. Dani or Nicole, who goes...THEY decide and most viewers don't care now

Eviction

As most expected, Dani is the 3rd and final evictee of this evening. Sorry, just no energy left but most have to soldier on to the end of this season.

So it's on to episode 26, and most if not everyone out here just don't care what happens now. You know whoever wins should cut that winners cheque into 3 pieces, one for themself, one part for Derrick and the remaining part for Dan
