WARNING SPOILER ALERT
While President Trump continues to search for the anonymous author of that New York Times article from a couple weeks ago, CBS now has their own anonymous leak issue to deal with.
With controversy swirling around Big Brother host Julie Chen, and her possible departure from CBS next week, the production of the reality TV show has allowed a significant leak regarding tonight’s episode.
Typically we would not publish a spoiler, especially with just a week to go in the game. However, with so much attention on the future of Big Brother it is worth noting that production either sloppily, or deliberately, allowed tonight’s results to be leaked to a Twitter user named @RealVegas4Sure. It is an account that has had insider information on the game this year.
This Twitter user has not only known the results of challenges that have not been available on live feeds, but also personal details on private DR sessions inside the house. The tweets also have featured specific rules about the various competitions that can only come from someone with an inside source.
Examples:
Information only production could confirm.
More inside information about production.
Clearly RealVegas is someone closely associated with the show.
Late Tuesday night the account was suspended by Twitter, although the author has since reopened a similar account at @RealVegasBackup.
If this Twitter source is correct, and we have reason to believe it is,
WARNING SPOILER ALERT

Sam was evicted on a 2-0 vote.
If that’s accurate it’s probably good news as Sam’s mental stability has been crumbling for weeks.
Sunday night Sam was recorded on the live feeds talking to herself:
“I guess that would be really hard to explain if I just got up, got dressed, put my boots on, grab the lead pipe that I took off the locker in the bathroom and smash every single one of these glass TVs across here from me and then shredded these f*cking drawers, pick one of these saucers up and threw it through that f*cking window right there. That probably wouldn’t be that good. It would take me about 45 seconds to get up and get everything that I needed. And the door to the parking lot is right there. I wouldn’t call that a voluntary exit but…”
That’s when the feeds cut off. How she finished the conversation we will never know.
But we do know that Sam has spoken of various acts of violence all summer long.
HOH Comp
Long ceremony, had to re-take more than usual. Probably will be subtitled. Oh boy.
Noms are: Tyler & Angela.#BB20 #FreeVegas @realvegas4sure #SaveBBUSA #Tangela #BBJC #BBVegas #BBTyler #BBAngela #BBKaycee

According to the Twitter source, JC won his first Head of Household of the summer. Still reeling from the blindside of Brett last week, JC has nominated Tyler and Angelia for eviction. Their fate will be determined tomorrow night, along with Kaycee’s as the veto winner will cast the only vote.
Former BB20 contestant Chris Williams, or Swaggy C as he was known on the show, tweeted that he trusted the Twitter source:
I KNOW I SAID I WAS OFF TWITTER…..

If this information is correct, and many Big Brother fans on social media believe it is, then this show has had a serious breach.
The person behind the Vegas4sure account either works on the show directly, or has a source in production. Without the live feeds on, there is no way anyone could have this type of information if it were not coming directly from production.
This is not an issue for journalists passing along whistle-blower information, or even the person behind the Twitter account. This is an internal issue for CBS, and specifically, Big Brother.
It is unclear whether any information from the outside is getting inside to the contestants. It is assumed that the remaining house guests and the jury members have no idea that Julie Chen’s days at CBS seem numbered.
On Tuesday, she resigned for her role as moderator of The Talk, and there are growing rumors she’ll leave the network following the season finale of Big Brother next week.
