On Big Brother Season 20, Scottie drops an unexpected bomb. Haleigh learns about Scottieâs pitch to put her on the block. Another player leaves the house.
Faysal informs Haleigh that Scottie is trying to get him to put her on the block in Big Brother 20. This is a win-win for Faysal since heâs inexplicably threatened by Haleighâs closeness to Scottie. In the DR, Haleigh breaks down. She feels stupid for defending Scottie only to learn heâs attacking her.
Faysal doesnât mention it was Sam who came to him first or all the terrible things the welder said about Haleigh. As Kaycee, Tyler and Angela try to figure out who Faysal might put up from Level Six, a distraught Haleigh interrupts their strategizing. If they arenât genuinely sympathetic, they put on a good show. They all agree theyâve never heard Haleigh say one bad thing about Scottie, and heâs just doing whatever it takes to stay.

This is bad news for Haleigh but good news for Level Six. By alienating his only ally in the house, Scottie just lost a vote, and Haleigh isnât going to try to save him.
Haleigh decides to talk to Scottie, but she doesnât want to let on she knows what heâs up to. Scottie suggests Haleigh distance herself from him. Haleigh questions why, and Scottie pretty much comes clean, stating he thinks sheâs playing him, and he referred to her as âKaitlyn 2.0.â Point for honesty, Scottie, but still such a D-bag move.
Scottie realizes how stupid his plan was, and heâs regretting turning on the one person who has (or had) his back. Scottie apologizes, and Haleigh isnât mad, sheâs hurt. She though they were friends. How is Sam totally escaping any blame???!
Scottie decides to do damage control, demanding Faysal not put him on the block (as if it was going to happen anyway). Faysal responds how stupid it was for Scottie to betray Haleigh because sheâs always been loyal.

Hereâs the real Big Brother shocker. All of JCâs assertions that Scottie has feelings for Haleigh turn out to be true. Scottie admits it to Fessy. Is Scottie in love with her? No. But itâs more than friendship on his part, and he confesses this unforeseen complication is messing up his game. After admitting to having feelings for Fessyâs girl (Fessy is such a creeper), Scottie throws out Samâs name as a possible replacement nominee.

Finally, itâs time for the Veto Ceremony. Scottie decides to go balls to the wall during his speech,and states Sam should go on the block. Nobody can beat her in the end, and Sam put Fessyâs two best friends on the block, forcing him to choose.
Brett takes himself off of the block. Faysal is even less inclined to deal with Scottie because first ,he betrayed Haleigh, and now heâs doing the same to Sam. Faysal decides to put Kaycee up as a pawn. Heâs pretty sure it will be a unanimous vote to send Scottie out. Kayceeâs confident sheâs not going anywhere.
Itâs interesting how Fessy is all over Scottie about his move against Haleigh but lets Sam off the hook. Scottie should have mentioned that in his speech.

Tyler continues to work every angle. Fessy and Haleigh really have nobody left, so they decide to try to form an alliance with Tyler and Angela. Faysalâs big plan is a Final Four deal, and then itâs every man/woman for themselves.

Angela and Tyler wonât turn on Level Six, but just in case Haleigh wins HoH, they decide to play along. They also think itâs in their best interest to not win HoH. Itâs better if Kaycee or Brett wins. Tylerâs really spreading himself thin with all these Final Two deals (Sam, JC, Kaycee, Angela). His ideal final four is JC, Angela, Kaycee and himself. He wants to go to the end with Kaycee who he thinks he can beat over JC. His goal is to let everyone else take shots at each other and hope nobody catches on to his plan.
The vote to evict Scottie is unanimous. And then there were eight.
Scottie explains to Julie Chen the plan was to get Sam to pitch putting Haleigh on the block. He figured this would result in Sam going up, and she was the best bet he had of staying. That doesnât explain why he opened his mouth instead of sitting back and letting it unfold.

It should have been an easy week for Scottie, so he figures the only reason heâs out is because Faysal is a moron, or Fessyâs been the flip vote and gunning for him the whole time.
Julie questions why Scottie didnât pitch a fit when Brett took credit for voting to keep Rockstar, and Scottie replies he didnât think he had to. Scottieâs pretty confused about how his game jumped the shark so abruptly.
As far as his feelings for Haleigh, those are real. Scottie makes no apologies for flipping the Swaggy vote because Swaggy and Fessy promised to use the veto on Steve and they didnât. Scottie calls Fessy a hypocrite who forgets he betrayed Scottie first.
The HoH competition is called âSweet Shot.â The houseguests must search through tubs of candy, searching for a piece with a token inside. Once they find a token, they give it to Fessy and roll a ball down a conveyor belt. The first houseguest to make a perfect shot by landing the ball at the red cup at the end becomes the new Head of Household.
If a player doesnât score a perfect shot, their ball will land in a score from one to 40. They can decide to lock that score in or throw it away, search for another token and roll again. The tokens are transferable, meaning a player can keep them or give them to another houseguest. After one hour, if nobody gets a perfect shot, the houseguest with the highest score wins.
Julie announces there will be a Jury Battle Back, so the next evicted houseguest will compete against Bayleigh, Rockstar and Scottie to see who returns to the Big Brother house.
