Good morning! I’ve had this weird obsession all season with Kaycees hair, probably because we rarely see it. I knew it was long but since I usually see it wet, I had no idea how thick it was, gorgeous! Sam’s hair salon was a big part of the evening and I could tell by Steve’s last thread, he felt like he was being punished for something while watching it. (Poor Steve)

The battle back’s this week and I’m wondering if they’ll do a crap shoot comp or have some type of endurance, the kind that’s combined with the hoh comp. I’m hoping for endurance because the returning houseguest has a chance to win the hoh too. I’m not a fan of a juror coming back but if they’re going to, they may as well have a chance to shake things up. Otherwise, we’ll spend next week watching what we just spent this week watching.

The hg’s have figured out there will probably be a battle back. (except JC, he doesn’t think there’s time, he’s not realizing we have a week at the end when someone leaves quickly) They aren’t factoring that into the decision over who to evict this week. I heard Angela say if Fessy left and Scottie came back, Scottie wouldn’t have a target but nothing came of it. They either don’t care or had a Foutte moment and it slipped their mind. I can’t blame them because they don’t know for sure and it’s hard to play for what ‘could’ happen. Viewers (not hg’s) are torn over who L6 should get rid of this week and I can see an argument for both.

Reasons to evict Haleigh: Scottie will team with her if he returns. L6 thinks she’ll do better in the mental comps. Evicting Haleigh leaves Fessy in the house to be a target for Scottie if he returns. Unless it’s a crap shoot for battle back, Haleigh may have a harder time getting back in so she’d be gone for good. (If they’d rather have Scottie back, she’d be a good choice to evict)

Reasons to evict Fessy: They see Fessy as the biggest physical threat for those remaining comps. It’s smart to get out Fessy while JC and Sam are on board with it or when they don’t need their votes to do it, which is this week. Fessy could be tougher competition for Scottie than Haleigh in the battle back. If they’d rather deal with Fessy & Haleigh next week over Scottie & Haleigh, it’s better to send Fessy out to go against Scottie. Sending Fessy out leaves Haleigh there to go after Sam so they don’t have to do it and it leaves a target for Sam.

I didn’t mention Bayleigh and Rockstar because I think they’d work with Fessy or Haleigh, whichever is still there so that’s a wash for me. The comps are a wash for me too because we don’t know what the next few comps will be or what type of battle back comp they’ll have. (The last time I saw Fessy & Haleigh study, he knew the days better than she did so I don’t know how much more of a threat she is) Neither Fessy or Haleigh are planning to go after Scottie if he comes back so that’s a wash. Fessy can be told what to do but if Haleigh stays, she needs allies so I think she can be steered where they want her to go too. That’s almost a wash for me too but Fessy has the win for being manipulated.

I’m not convinced Scottie would go after Fessy if he returned. He’s had some time out of the house to reflect, he’s mad at Brett and according to interviews, he thinks JC is playing the best game and would target him. If Fessy told Scottie he shouldn’t have taken him out (which he’s been saying) and said the other side tricked him, they could possibly still work together, especially if Haleigh wasn’t there. Haleigh still has the win over Fessy with Scottie.

Only 1 season had a crap shoot for the jury comp (16) so the odds favor some type of physical comp for the battle back. If it isn’t a wall like in BB15, Fessy may have a better shot than Haleigh. Threfore, evicting Haleigh avoids Scottie and Haleigh working together. Evicting Fessy may give them the best chance to keep Scottie out of the house. I don’t think there’s a definite right or wrong decision this week (except for individual players) because we don’t know who’s coming back. If I were in L6 and I had to pick one, I’d want to keep Scottie out if possible because he’s more of a threat in all types of comps. For that reason, I’d evict Fessy this week and I’d roll the dice and hope the battle back isn’t a wall or something similar.

Here’s what happened yesterday (don’t get too excited):

Sam talked to Angela confirmed she did overhear some hoh talk. She (said) she mostly heard Brett and was only upset with him. We don’t know for sure what she heard because she may be keeping some info to herself. (Is production back there drinking the beer they take out of the 6 packs that they don’t give the hg’s?)
JC refused to look at Tyler because his hair was still straight when they woke up.
Sam confronted Brett, told him not to be a baby and just talk to her if he had an issue. He passed it off as them both being cranky and apologized. They made up.
Since JC ran into a wall trying to get Tyler to split up Ang/KC, he went to Brett. JC pitched they were too close and if Hay & Sam were evicted first, it left those 2 with Tyler. Brett not only listened, he participated in the convo. Brett’s a good liar so he could be faking but I’m not so sure. He hasn’t told L6 about it either. It’s common for Brett to wait days to share info with L6 so that may not be telling but it could be.
Angela & Tyler came up with ways to cover their cuddling by acting like Angela is crying if they get caught. (they think it will look like he’s comforting her) They’re both good players and this is disappointing. Leaving the hoh room would be the best thing to do, not look for cover stories. (I get it, we’ve all been there but most of us haven’t been there with 500k on the line. I’d like to think I’d tell the person “slow your roll and let me make some dough.” NO ONE gives 500k hugs, I don’t care how hot you are!) The worst part is, I think the damage is already done. If they stopped doing it now, people will think they’ve stopped for strategy because it’s already gone on too long. They may still be fine because they control the house but it’s an unnecessary risk imo. They also talked about worrying that Brett & KC would get paranoid that they’re too close.
KC & Hay hung out more. Hay told her the same things she told Ang the night before. Trust me, never wanted you gone, other people made me do it, etc. Hay’s trying and I respect it. She’s still a bad player but I’m glad she’s playing.
JC & Fessy rec’d many “wake up” announcements which they ignored. At one point, the BB voice started saying “Faysal” over and over to annoy him. They’re both assholes when it comes to listening to production.
Fessy’s eaten more food, sleeping and basically pulling a Matt. (Production may actually be drinking in the job or they just don’t care) Fessy’s not at a Matt level of defiance but it’s annoying. (I’m so ready for him to go, we’ve listened to him say he doesn’t care about the game for 2 months. Hopefully, when he gets out and wants his fame to begin, he can accept that we don’t care about him for that very reason)
JC told Tyler they weren’t done with their talk about getting out Ang or KC. Tyler told him to calm down and JC told Tyler not to be so dramatic. (Lol) He told him Fessy told JC to campaign to Tyler for him. He said Fessy would probably win the battle back but that’s all he had.
Hay told Fessy she doesn’t think either of them will leave on Thursday. He thinks she’s wrong and asks why she thinks it. She said she wants it to be true so it will be or something close to that. (Still using the Foutte stratgey, I see) She’s wearing a bun now, maybe it’s a coincidence but she was so impressed with KC’s hair, she said maybe she should do a bun too.
Sam gave Brett an Ace Ventura hair style, at least that’s what was attempted.
Sam straightened KC’s hair and even tho she was a little uncomfortable, you could tell how much she liked it. She’s never been to a salon and she loved the way it felt. (I also loved her hair before it was straightened. She’s a beautiful girl with a beautiful head of hair too)
Hay wanted KC to have a braid. (That girl’s obsessed with braids) KC liked it and they said it was very “Tomb Raider.”
JC & Tyler finished their talk. JC said if Hay was hoh and Ang was otb, they had to evict her. Tyler said no and KC wouldn’t work with them if they did that. Tyler said after Hay leaves they can go back to keeping people separated and at odds but Hay put him up so he has to get her out. JC admitted he felt he’d go out at 4 if Ang/KC stayed together. Tyler said JC needed to get closer to KC to help avoid that happening. JC suggested Sam as the 3rd but Tyler said a bitter jury would give her the win. (This should’ve been a red flag for JC imo. Tyler always tells JC that the 3rd & 4th person they take won’t win the comps so why will Sam be in the final 2 and win to a bitter jury? It should be telling him it will be KC going to the end and not himself) They agree KC is the best option for the F3 but don’t agree when to take out Angela. JC told Tyler, Brett was thinking about it too and made it sound like Brett approached JC with it. Tyler told JC that Brett was close to Ang/KC too. (I’m anxious to see who tells who between Brett & Tyler or if either one does) JC asked about the wine from the other day. He said he saw the glasses and wondered if they were celebrating and had their own thing. (Ty, Ang, KC) Tyler told him that Brett was also there and drank wine too. (Before this, Brett told JC he didn’t)
Hay, Ang & KC hung out in the hoh room. They watched Sam do the same things she’s slammed Hay for doing on the spy cam.
KC tried to pop Angela’s back. (My brother’s a chiropractor so I’m positive this isn’t a good method)
They also rolled around laughing because Angela’s boob kept popping out yesterday. I know Hay is young but she has a touch of Raven in wanting to copy what other people are doing. (She does it often)

Tyler and JC’s new battle is an example of how Tyler’s making his game harder than it has to be. He and JC have only disagreed once before (the week Kaitlyn left) and his ‘mance with Angela is what’s causing it now. JC’s insistence over splitting up Angela and KC and his recent work to make Brett his new Fessy are because Tyler’s too close to Angela. Tyler’s just gotten too comfortable in the house. He needs to be nominated by someone to wake him up. He was terrified when hacker Haleigh put him up and he didn’t even stay there that long. (I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be evicted because in almost all scenarios, he has the votes to stay) Tyler’s had the same flaw in his game from the start. He puts too much focus on one person for too long and has to do damage control with the others later. It happened with Kaitlyn. Granted, it may be for a different reason this time, but it’s the same mistake. He neglects the relationships with Sam, JC & Brett and spends his time focusing on one person. KC doesn’t need much reassurance. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s playing a great game but he’s still making mistakes. Other hg’s are making bigger ones so it may not matter.

Winston, Rachel and Kaitlyn have been enjoying themselves together since being evicted:
