If they cared a whit about fairness, absolutely.  But, they care not.  They have extra days to account for since CBS lost the football package.  CBS needs draaaaaama.

They likely will have a jury buyback instead, and then a possible reset week.

I wonder if they went straight into the HOH comp?

Is this extended Kait interview on the feeds?

Probably. I dont think they would have had them changed already if the comp was later tonight.

Nope. It's worse. They're making us sit through an episode of BB15.

[gunderda]

I have a feeling kaitlyns interview will be uploaded by tomorrow.

You're right - they give zero fucks about fairness. But lack of sequester - - - > severely reduced drama / hilarity in future seasons, because the houseguests will know they have to be "on" at all times. 

[kellog010]

Guess I can go to sleep at a decent hour for work tomorrow. Can't wait to see who wins HOH.

 There have been strict Rules about this since it caused someone to lose the game, because of their Diary Room sessions. All potential returnees must be sequestered. 

Poor Danielle.  She was robbed!  

[peachmangosteen]

LMAO what a huge letdown. I'm gonna need Haleigh/RS/Scottie/Fessy or possibly Bayleigh to win HOH

[Katesus7]

I guess I didn’t want what I thought I wanted, because when Kaitlyn lost that easy ass puzzle, I cackled my ass off. When Julie informed her JC was her only vote, I cackled even more. And when she sees the good-bye messages? Oh, man.

Honestly, my issue with Kaitlyn was I enjoyed her for the entitled, drama queen, needy, crazy person she was on the feeds. But the show trying to pull off her being noble and loyal and true, and wronged? Nah, I have no time for that. 

And agree with @Ceeg and others that it was bullshit that apparently Brett was the mastermind of this, when I know damn well it was Angela doing the legwork with L5. 

So, I guess an athletic HOH off the feeds? Usually there’s an announcement made if we get to watch the comp. 

[Callaphera]

NICK!

*cries uncontrollably into a baseball hat*

[Cutty]

I forgot what a douche Nick was.

How could youse guys evict him? HOW?!

[SiobhanJW]

They usually do 2 DE's a season. WIth how long the season is- they needed 2 people to come back for 2 DEs. So Kaitlyn coming back and there is another scenario- a rewind week- Jury Comp or whatever. So either they will just have one DE- which they would still need either the Rewind- Jury Comp or whatever. Or they have another plan- I know they usually like 2 DEs because they get the most ratings. But they didn't have 2 DEs in BB18 because no one that left had the Return Ticket .So they just did the one DE. 

So I guess we will see. 

[Lady Calypso]

So, seeing as the feeds haven't come back, it's likely that they're doing the HOH comp. It'll take them some time for them to get outside and have the rules explained, and since they're in athletic gear, there's an endurance/physical portion to it, so it'll probably be a couple of hours until feeds come back.

Maybe I'll just head to bed instead. 

LOL, nah, I'm gonna go to bed once I find out who HOH is. I don't know who I want, but it's bound to be exciting, since it's the last eviction before jury starts, which means Tyler may have to use his power this week to ensure he makes jury.

I don't know why, but I actually liked Nick. God knows why, since that was my first full season with the feeds.

[IndyMischa]

Any guesses for the HOH comp? My money is on "maneuver this thing through a mile of chicken wire," for the following reasons:

* They're in athletic clothes, so not mental. 

* We always get slip & slide on the feeds. (Bless them. And I don't usually get into slapstick.)

* You know TPTB thought the evictee would finish the puzzle, and you KNOW they wanted her to win HOH for max drama. Chicken Wire Extravaganza favors women.

I hope so. That one is always a bit of a drag to sit through in real time. Someone almost always pulls ahead and stays ahead and it's just dull to watch. It's much more enjoyable in clip form.

If they REALLY wanted them to win, they could have added a little more time, but yeah, they definitely thought she would pull it off. It's quite embarrassing that she didn't.

Oh well, I guess it turned out to be a good move by JC! Still bad thought process, but good result!

[Maverick]

 Thanks Kaitlyn.  We get one less DE thanks to you.   One less chance at Clown Shoe Redux.  

 Could it be anymore obvious they weren't expecting her to fail?  No chairs on stage, no time for an interview/goodbye messages, no start of the HOH comp.   They have to be kicking themselves for not rigging this better.

They were probably debating on how much time to allot and they were like come on 2:30 will suffice lol.

I guess Kaitlyn's Julie interview will be up at midnight.

I honestly don't know what they could have done to make it easier. Three pieces only? Have them pre-super glued together so all she had to do was put it back on the stand?

Yeah, they know they screwed up big time. However, as Peach notes, how much time could it really take someone to do that easy puzzle? Very embarrassing on Kaitlyn's part.

[vb68]

The only one I absolutely do not want getting HOH is Fessy.

As loony tunes as Kaitlyn was, Fessy was a complete douche in the way he handled that all week.

 Very disappointed he gets no blowback on it.

Plus I still think he's the biggest DUD in a great cast. 

[gunderda]

I love the chicken wire comp and hate it when we can’t watch it :( 

but that’s usually done in an hour so that’s good

I decided to look up week five comps from the last few years, to see if they were endurance or not.

BB19 had a quiz comp (but the week before had that press the button with a stick comp that started in BBOTT). BB18 had an endurance comp where you held your hand above your head, and I remember that one lasted six hours. BB17 had a quiz comp. 

So the comp could really be anything, but since they only shut the yard down yesterday, it's not some comp that took long to set up, so it could be the BBOTT Sword comp.

Having the legs stand on their own would have made it waaaay easier. 

[Lonesome Rhodes]

i honestly do not understand why they didn't just make it an automatic nullification of the eviction.

Oh, good call! Button Sword and Still Hands would both favor our self-proclaimed yogi too.

I'm still in shock. I wanted vengeance!!! I wanted crazy!!! Sigh

I agree. Especially knowing that they don't have enough people to go the 99 days and do the 2 DEs. So stupid on their part.

Someone on another board mentioned that JC might pin his vote on Rachel since he had that weird fixation on her for a minute and now I'm scared that's gonna happen. She's already low man on the F5 totem pole.

[RagePaige]

Somewhere backstage, a 25 piece puzzle of Rockstar is collecting dust.

Yes! He said something yesterday or today about Rachel voting for Kaitlyn, but I don't remember who he told that to

I'm legit bummed that we don't get another Kaitlyn HoH and the continuation of the Joe Picture Saga. I wanted to see what was going to happen when she unlocked her HoH room for the first time and there were absolutely no pictures of Joe around. 

Thanks, Kaitlyn. Thanks, Big Brother. You're crushing all my hopes and dreams tonight.

[Wings]

Good old STFU Helen is a treat.

And it would be easy because Rachel was pushing against the vote flip for a little while.

I think we could get two DEs if they have a jury buyback and a reset week. 

Though yeah, it may only be one DE now, depending on how they handle the second half of the season.

He would have been screaming for Brett the entire time. 

Imagine if, instead of a cardboard of himself, it was of Brett. That would have motivated him to win it.

That being said, I can't imagine how livid the producers are. They just lost Kaitlyn, the one that gave them some really good feeds. I don't think this season is going to suddenly sink now that Kaitlyn's gone, but I think they could be worrying about what kind of drama will give them things to put in the episodes. They also lost Paranoia Winston and Cocky Swaggy.

So, who do they have to fill up their episodes? Tyler? JC? Sam? Bayleigh? Now they'll have no choice but to showcase Angela and Kaycee. Let's hope that this season can remain its crazy awesome self without the epitome of the crazy.

If Tyler goes next week, I think production might actually have an aneurysm.

[RagePaige]

Julie : "I'm sorry Kaitlyn... You have failed the Bonus Life challenge and-"

JC : "I don't think thats a good idea..."

Julie : "Okay... Congratulations, Kaitlyn!  You can return to the Big Brother household!" 

[Katesus7]

But...I mean...they had to think this WAS a slam dunk. I guess they could have said - OK, when we say go, turn the figure around and tell us who it is. You only have 5 minutes to give the correct answer.

We were literally joking about a Brett head 25 piece puzzle. THIS WAS EASIER.

There are so many good memes from these first few weeks.

I hope they didn't use all their memes up in this first half of the season.

Aaaand I'm visualizing a Tyler surprise boot this week now. C'mon HGs, manifest this for me.

I have a feeling the feeds will be off until BBAD.

[peachmangosteen]

This probably ensures that Tyler stays for a bit now.

Don't hurt me like that. Like losing Kaitlyn wasn't bad enough?

I'm hoping L6 backdoors Fessy.

Even if its not logical, I blame him for tonight.

[zenithwit]

Why do I have the feeling that somebody is getting fired tonight?
