Big Brother fans all over are twiddling their thumbs as Sunday’s episode of the CBS reality series was delayed about 20 minutes by the 2018 PGA Championships.

After the tournament went a little long, the network continued to air 60 Minutes in full, pushing the much-anticipated eviction nomination ceremony back nearly half an hour. And while the delay doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of life, fans were disappointed that their favorite show wasn’t starting on time. Others who were unable to watch the episode live expressed concern that their DVR system would cut off the final 20 minutes of the episode.

The Big Brother house is definitely in a tense time after Bayleigh Dayton’s dramatic eviction Thursday. And now that Haleigh Broucher has taken control of the household as Head of Household, fans are on the edge of their seat to see if she can level the playing field between Level 6 and The Hive.

They took to Twitter with their gripes:

We made it so long without sports preempting #BB20 that I forgot sports could preempt #BB20, and now I’m shouting at 60 Minutes for existing.
