Maybe they're setting her up for some kind of whiny girl becomes self-actualized, inspired leader woman story arc.

Going by that last episode, it’s just as well we didn’t see a lot of her. Ugh.

Previously! David Tribe had a setback! Natalie rubbed people the wrong way! Angelina took a shot at Jeremy and got him out! 17 are left -who will be voted out tonight!? Day10 - Bi’s knees are still looking bandaged and terrible, while the tribes arrive for the comp. She (shockingly!) announces that she has made a decision to leave the game because of her being an athlete and her injury. Sad, tinkly music plays while Jeff asks what the other people think. Bi says that her band of misfits are amazing human beings and that they will rock it. And thus, she hobbles off to a waiting boat somewhere. And.... tribe swap!!! There are now THREE tribes! TWIST!! Even twistier, Carl doesn’t have a buff, and thus not a tribe. The tribes are mixed up approximately the same with three Goliaths and two Davids. Carl however, is going to Exile Island, and will return to the next TC and will replace the next person voted out on whatever tribe loses immunity. That all make sense? I hope so, because I’m not saying it again! Christian notes that each tribe as a minority of Davids, so they’re at a disadvantage all around. We have a whole sequence of “get to know you” as the dispossessed Davids try to fit in with the Goliath majorities. Natalia starts freaking out as her friend Kara starts to make friends with Elizabeth. Kara doesn’t think there’s anything to worry about. (Foreshadowing!!) Carl on Exile Island suddenly finds a note which has a clue to finding an advantage. He thinks it’s hidden inside a coconut on the beach - but as it turns out there are tons of coconuts there, some out in the surf. There is one however, which is VERY OBVIOUSLY stitched together with bright blue cord. The advantage is an “Idol Nullifier”, which blocks the use of an Immunity Idol. He has to play it by writing the person’s name down on his voting card during TC. Back to the “Jabeni” tribe, of whom Mike thinks are the Davidiest of Davids. Natalie feels weird about having the Davids in her camp and she wants them GONE. And she of course is great at giving orders on building on fire, but doesn’t do a damned thing. Angelina looks like she wants to cut a bitch during the whole thing (i.e. Natalie). Nick thinks it’s a great thing because she’s creating such a target on herself, and starts to work to try to make an alliance with Mike, and they come up with an alliance name of “The Rockstars”, and what the hell is it with these names this season? Is Grodner really on the production team now? Yeesh. On Team Tiva, Christian discusses the “stylistic differences” of chopping bamboo. Dan thinks that Christian’s openness to instruction is nice. At least in the area of chopping bamboo. Christian says he needs to bring on his “Charmpocalypse” and John humours him by discussing Slamtown. They do seem to hit it off. Gabby is worried, and as the light dims, and the heartfelt music plays, Christian encourages her that everything will be fine. She blubbers that Christian is fitting in with the cool kids at the lunch table and she is going to be left out. The pitch of her voice rises to almost dog whistle levels as she cries that’s she’s going to get voted out. We’re back on Day 11 for the Immunity Challenge, and someone has to ride a wheelbarrow while two other blindfolded people wheel them through over some bumps and then through a maze. The person riding has to tell them instructions. Blindfolded team members then have to guide a ball through a tilting table maze. Tiva Tribe is to the maze first and is working through it slowly but surely. All three teams are now on to the maze, but Tiva is almost there. And... Tiva wins immunity! They also win the reward, which is basically coffee and danishes. Jeff keeps calling the other teams, “Orange” and “Purple”, and I can’t remember which actual tribe name goes with which colour. And neither can Jeff, apparently. The remaining two tribes are basically neck and neck, but finally “Purple” team comes in second for immunity (the one with Nick and Natalie, and someone has told Jeff that’s Jabeni.) We’re back with the Vuku tribe (formerly known as “Orange”). Elizabeth is worried that she is going home and rather than trying to save herself by relating to the tribe, she drags Dave off to go find the idol - who of course already has it, so good luck on that. He immediately goes back to Kara and Natalia and blabs everything. Natalia kind of freaks out because she hears that she is a target by Elizabeth. Elizabeth approaches Alec to try to get him to flip alliances. He doesn’t seem all that hot on the idea. She suggests putting up Dave. Alec goes back to suggest the idea to the girls who think it’s a terrible plan. Natalia is adamant they get out Elizabeth and Alec feels a bit annoyed by her bullying. She tells others to shut up during one discussion, and the editing would suggest they are considering voting her out. Dave basically tells Alec that he will do whatever people are doing, just let him know. We’re back at TC on night 11, and the iguana looks unimpressed. Vuku arrives along with Carl, who is back from Exile Island. Elizabeth was so concerned about her fate she almost “pooped her pants” today, and ew. Dave makes it clear that he is throwing Elizabeth under the bus. Natalia goes on to say the the game is in gear and she wants to play the game hard, while Alec looks askance at her. Jeff challenges Natalia that making big moves and building your resume is exactly what Elizabeth is suggesting. SUDDENLY, Alec whispers something in Elizabeth’s ear. Natalia starts freaking out because she of course thinks she’s being targeted and she is NOT okay with that! Alec then whispers in Kara’s ear, who whispers in Natalia’s ear. A bunch of whispering goes on and then it’s time to vote. Natalia votes Elizabeth (no surprise), but we DON’T see Elizabeth’s vote. Interesting. Dave doesn’t play his Immunity Idol, and Jeff reads the votes. Elizabeth, Dave, Natalia, Natalia, Natalia. HAHAHAHA! Welcome to playing Survivor, and also, bye. Alec says sorry as she goes by, and classy as always, tells him to shut up. She is shocked that Alec is smiling and “can’t handle him right now”. He rightly says, “It’s a game!” She storms off because I guess it’s not fun playing Survivor when you get outplayed. Next time! There’s no where to run, no where to hide, and the storm is coming! Natalia is pissed because she didn’t make the big moves when she should have made the big moves and blah, blah, blah. Bye, dummy.

Haha!

Yay!

I expect that a full half of the people I will never have heard of before.

Seriously. Has she never watched this show before?

Well, that was the lamest thing ever. Or at least second lamest, if you count the version from BB2. Good thing that approach has such a great track record of success.

Right back at ya, Magpie! Couldn't ask for a better group to work with! An extra special thanks too to everyone who helped contributed to this forum this season. Whether a commenter, recapped, or even a reader, you're what makes this place worthwhile.

"And now, the end is near And so we face the final curtain. My friends, I’ll say it clear I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain We’ve watched the feeds, and read the ‘caps We’ve judged the hamsters, and all had our say and more, much more than this We did it our way!" A big thank you to all our readers and recappers this season! And so we close this final HOH thread of BB20, and look back fondly (or not) on a season that has given us some pretty good entertainment. For Big Brother, I mean. Because, you know, we can't be TOO nice to these hamsters. ~ FIN ~

9:54 am HT Kaysee says to us that we're amazing and it's been a fun season, but they're ready to get the heck out of there. JC tells us that it was his pleasure to give the feeders entertainment, it was so fun, and something, something that's hard to understand. Something about naked pictures, which is in character, I suppose. He says it was the best summer of their lives! Tyler says that WE are the real MVPs and the real die-hard fans. They know we're here but they try to ignore us. He says they still love us even when we probably hate on them. *coughs* They all says their good byes and thank yous and for tuning in to be part of their lives. Kaysee says to keep watching BB!! They throw us all kisses, and then realize they have 4 more minutes. They suggest we try out for BB (No), and that it will be the best Summer of our lives! (No.) They acknowledge it was a wild ride, and that we (the feeders) are still here!! More thanks, as they realize how awkward saying goodbye and then not actually leaving is. Tyler: "You're all still here? Why are you still here??" Then -

9:53 am HT Tyler says to KC that the live feeders will get 15 more minutes, which results in us immediately going to fish briefly. I think they are about to go tell JC about their plans!! Or not.

9:51 am HT While Tyler futzes in the SR, JC and KC do their morning ablutions in the BR. Exciting to the end! Some more breakfast chatter.

9:47 am HT They chat about the next season being a celebrity theme, and as Tyler makes his bed he wonders who will be sleeping there. "Justin Bieber?" Ha! That's why I like Tyler. Also, I hope the hell not.

9:45 am HT After a brief round of fish while they tell them to GTFU, we have some stirring hammies. After a brief breakfast discussion, JC mentions that they can sing now and they won't care. He proceeds to do so, and they don't. JC: "And just like that, we woke up for the last time in the Big Brother house!" Kaysee agrees that this is the last day, and they all sound like they're more than ready for this to be over. Just like us!
