Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Saturday Morning - 7/06

What a player!

The most noteworthy thing which happened in the overnight hours is that there was a Diary Room "slip" allowing the live feeds to see that Elissa once again did win the MVP vote. I'm always curious about well-timed slips like this. Intentional from the PTB to get internet talk going? Intentional on the part of a staffer to create a buzz and put his/her job in jeopardy at the same time? Whatever it is, it's surely no accident.

That out of the way, here's what's been happening in that Big Brother House of And I Don't Like Anybody Very Much:

• How many BB men does it take to lift a bed?
• Four and one to squish the spider which ran under it.
• Y'see, Jeremy has gotten one nasty spider bite (no, not from Kaitlin) on his neck and another suspected one on his elbow.
• So, when a bunch of them saw a spider, they freaked!
• Helen talked to Aaryn. She does know that Elissa is the target, but she's rightfully worried that all might backfire and she might go home. She told Aaryn she has no hard feelings with her, but might still act mad in public.
• I think she's really mad, but is too nice to act out on it.
• Helen suggested that they (her and Aaryn) should work together secretly.
• Aaryn claimed that she put Howard and Candice last in the key order at nominations because she trusts them the least.
• Eep. Howard!
• Kaitlin is still all panicky about going up on the block.
• I'd put her up there just to ease her anxiety!
• Judd said, "Mumble, mumble."
• Kaitlin talked about her father being upset watching her make out with Jeremy as she made out with Jeremy.
• GinaMarie told Helen that Elissa is probably nice but needs to go due to the MVP thing. She wants Helen to stay.
• Apparently part of Aaryn's suspicions about Howard is because he threw out Helen's name as a possible nomination even though everybody knows they're working together.
• Now, Howard and Helen WORK OUT together. Yes, they're friendly. But they don't really scheme together much at all.
• Unfortunately, Howard and Spencer scheme. Howard's all excited about visiting Spencer and his family after the season.
• Elissa told Helen (and swore her to secrecy) about getting MVP again.
• Well, that was a better choice than telling McCrae last week, I think.
• I'm really not sure why she tells anyone!
• They (Helen and Elissa) did approach McCrae with a "hypothetical" about who should be nominated if one of them were to win MVP.
• @@
• Andy thinks MVP should put up Jeremy.
• But if Jeremy won veto, that would open another can of worms.
• Aaryn said she doesn't want to be the person America hates for lying all the time.
• Oh, that's not a worry, Aaryn. Don't fret your pretty little head about that!
• You'll be remembered for something else entirely different!
• Judd said, "Mumble, mumble."
• Helen and Elissa think nominating Jeremy is the way to go. They think that Nick would go up in his place if he wins veto.
• Hmm.
• I still think Elissa would go home in that scenario. I think the only way she'll squeak through this week is to win veto.
• Your thoughts? 

Just a reminder, folks ... please keep the language as clean as you can in comments. I hate to be a damper on things, but try to keep this blog at a PG rating tops for various reasons. I know it can be hard with the topic at hand, but I'd appreciate it. Merci!

Hamsters in hats!

Howard-a-Day

Emulating Trump?

The vixen stare

Big Brother 15: Nominations are in - 7/05

As expected, Elissa and Helen are on the block.

Elissa is being much more compassionate than Rachel ever was about it. Helen is crying, but vows to play hard for the veto and remove herself from the block. Elissa told her that she knows she (Elissa) is the target, Helen should be safe.

No word on the MVP nomination.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Friday Daytime 7/05

Nah. I'm not going to do a Spencer-a-Day

I think I'll stick with the Howard-a-Day screencaps, thank you very much.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Erroneous Egos:

• Aaryn and Kaitlin are getting frustrated that GinaMarie won't listen to them when they tell her not to trust Nick.
• They're actually right about that. I don't think anyone should trust Nick. He's a very sneaky player, a bit reminiscent of Ronnie for me.
• But, better looking and not as smart.
• Amanda and McCrae are talking about McCrae moving to Florida to be with her.
• I'm speechless.
• I'll believe it when I see it.
• Spencer kept on with his misogynistic talk while Aaryn and Kaitlin kept up with slurs about Asians.
• I don't like these people.
• McCrae and Amanda made out.
• Spencer thinks Judd is sneaking around eavesdropping on everybody.
• It's actually been Andy sneaking around, getting in with the girls in the Hoh group, then reporting back to McCrae, Judd and Spencer.
• They had an outdoor lockdown.
• When they were allowed in ... it's liver and lima beans for the Have Nots!
• Woohoo.
• Helen is very happy with the lima beans, but I don't think she's ever tried liver.
• Jessie told Aaryn that she's at a point in her life when she wants to surround herself with positive people who love her.
• So she went into the Big Brother house?
• Well, that wasn't too bright!
• Aaryn is sure that she'll be nominating Elissa (we could've guessed that!), but is tossing around Helen or Candice as the other.
• If she doesn't trust Nick so much, why hasn't she got the nerve to put him up?
• Jeremy continues to stir the pot. Now he's telling Judd he heard that he (Judd) was telling Elissa everything he heard.
• Not true.
• Judd doesn't really talk all that much to Elissa at all.
• Jeremy continued with a veiled threat that Judd needs to vote out Elissa because he (Jeremy) has eyes and ears all around the house and will go after anyone who doesn't vote to evict her.
• @@
• Jeremy told Aaryn she needs to put up Elissa and Helen.
• When Howard came into the room, they asked him. He said Elissa and either Helen or Candice.
• They decided Helen.
• Grr.
• But I doubt she'll go home.
• Kaitlin doesn't like the Helen choice.
• Neither do I.
• Aaryn thinks Helen stands a better chance of winning and using PoV than does Candice.
• She's probably right there.
• When they talked to Candice, she said Nick should be put up with Elissa.
• Andy complained to McCrae that "they" -- Jeremy, Aaryn and Kaitlin -- are bullying everybody about the vote.
• Then Aaryn and Jeremy changed up and said they need to put Kaitlin on the block.
• She freaked.
• Jeremy insisted she'd be safe.
• When they talked to Nick, he told them a weak player -- Judd, Candice or Jessie -- should go on the block with Elissa.
• When they talked to Helen, she said she realizes she'll probably go on the block. She said she'd fight to win veto and has been honest with everyone in the house.
• Yes. Yes, she has. Even Howard hasn't been honest with everyone. But Helen has.
• GinaMarie told them she likes cool people and being around cool people.
• Well, THAT answers the question, eh?
• Spencer told them that Helen should go up with Elissa because she's smart enough and competitive enough to win, but won't retaliate.
• Well, yeah.
• It seems like the final decision for nominations will be Elissa and Helen.
• I've seen no clue about who might be MVP if it's already come down.
• Nominations should be sometime tonight.
• When I know, you'll know.

Future so bright, had to put on shades

Look what the house does to her!

Morning zombie

Howard-a-Day

Not only is he easy on the eyes and one of the few nice normal people in the house, he is indeed a player. He was doing this to all the photos on the Memory Wall, apparently studying their eyes for a future comp. Yes, this is the second Howard-a-Day screencap. Double the fun!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Before the Dawn 7/05

I trust no one, yet I smile

What's up with those hamsters? I mean, what kind of hilarious hijinks have been going on in the habitrail during the late night hours? Read on ...

• Aaryn told Andy that they can't trust Jessie because she went down and immediately told others what was said in HoH room.
• Of course, little does she know, but Andy does that as well.
• Aaryn said she's thinking of putting up Elissa and Candice because "no one likes them anyway." Her worry with that choice is that Elissa would win PoV.
• The live feeds were blocked for about an hour as the hamsters had their little 4th of July party.
• It must have been some party.
• Jessie was crying.
• Amanda was crying.
• Jessie seemed to be crying because she feels alone.
• Amanda was crying because people think she's with Elissa and Jessie apparently was trying to worm her way in with McCrae "after Amanda leaves."
• I don't know. They're all whacked!
• Jessie told Judd she wants to leave.
• Why?
• Because she isn't getting love!
• Say what?
• That's what she said. My, what a needy little gal.
• Spencer, Jeremy and Aaryn once again used slurs for homosexuals, targeted towards Andy.
• But Andy didn't hear them. We did.
• Amanda and McCrae have decided to try to play both sides of the house.
• Yeah, that always works so well!
• While Aaryn seems to be thinking of going with noms which would cause the least friction (in her mind) -- Elissa and Candice -- Kaitlin thinks she should target those who voted out David.
• Mind you, they're not really sure who voted him out. They only think they know.
• Howard and Candice spoke with McCrae, Spencer and Jessie about racism they've from both white and black folks.
• I don't think the talk was quite with the right crowd, the ones who need to open their eyes.
• Elissa and Helen talked. Elissa thought she would come in and play strategically, but the mean crowd won't let her. She's wondering if it was worth even coming. They said BB loves the Rachel connection, the fans apparently like it, but the house doesn't.
• Things are still going around in circles.
• I'm thinking it's almost certain Aaryn will put Elissa on the block. But I have no real idea who the second will be.
• It won't be Howard.

Howard-a-Day

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into the Evening, 4th of July

He's a grand old flag ...

First, I hope everyone reading this has had a fine 4th of July holiday! However, I'm sure you've been waiting with bated breath wondering what mischief  those rascally hamsters have been up to today. Right? Right?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Broken Dreams and Half-hashed Schemes:

• I announced it on my Facebook page for the show, but I'll tell you here, too. Due to popular response, for the rest of the time Howard is in the house, I'll be posting a Howard-a-Day screencap of him at least daily, perhaps in more than one live feed report of the day.
• I do have two shots of Howard in tonight's report. One was because I found it interesting, one is classified as a Howard-a-Day.
• Speaking of Howard, he also told Aaryn he voted to evict Elissa.
• Dang, if all the people who told Aaryn they voted to evict Elissa did, David would have been super-safe!
• Aaryn didn't dispute it with Howard, but told Jeremy she doesn't believe Howard voted to evict Elissa.
• Aaryn thinks her alliance is a powerhouse.
• Yeah. Really. She thinks that! Heehee!
• She and Jeremy think Nick voted to evict David. Of course, he has said he hasn't. But he did!
• Aaryn is blaming all the problems on Elissa.
• GinaMarie told Elissa that Nick and her are just friends -- he's here to play the game, not hook up.
• She apologized for being mean to Elissa. Like that apology means anything!
• Elissa told her that she'd like for Aaryn to stop personally attacking her.
• But, if Aaryn is personally attacking Elissa, she has less time to come up with hate speech!
• McCrae told Amanda she has to work her way in better with Aaryn and the bunch as, if she (Amanda) goes on the block, she'll probably go home.
• Aaryn thinks it's fitting that she's the HoH on the 4th of July because she's "the All American Girl."
• Oh, gag me now. Please.
• Andy reported to McCrae that Aaryn and Kaitlin are getting skeptical about Nick and think he's playing them.
• Aaryn is also skeptical of her buddy, GinaMarie.
• GinaMarie tired to worm her way in with Helen and Elissa.
• They're a bit skeptical of her, too.
• I'm skeptical about practically everyone in the habitrail. Don't I count?
• Amanda told Aaryn she's worried about going up on the block.
• Aaryn and Kaitlin told her both her and McCrae are safe -- their names hadn't even really come up as any kind of target.
• Aaryn and Jeremy are both still big on an Elissa ouster.
• Oh gee, Aaryn had to run to the bathroom because she's ill.
• I feel so bad for her.
• See. I can lie, too!
• McCrae tried to work his way in with Aaryn, claiming that everyone threw him under the bus by voting David out.
• Since he didn't have a vote, his hands are indeed clean on this one.
• As far as she knows, anyway.
• Using makeup, Amanda painted a flag on McCrae's face.
• Since it's the 4th of July (and there's a big thing going on at the CBS lot), the hamsters are on indoor lockdown for the evening. 
• The good news is that BB is giving them a holiday feast.
• The even better news is that the Have Nots will be able to eat at the feast!
• Jeremy told Aaryn that Candice told him that Amanda was the mastermind of the plan to get out David.
• Y'know, he reminds me a bit of Russell Hantz wanting to stir the pot.
• He wants Aaryn to nominate Elissa and Amanda, with Elissa being the main target.
• Kaitlin got sick and supposedly had blood in her urine. Now, that's a bit concerning. Aaryn was just throwing up sick, possibly nerves or stress.
• Kaitlin went off to the Diary Room.
• Elissa told Judd she will nominate Jeremy if she gets MVP.
• Aaryn is worried that she'll get death threats for messing with Elissa.
• She should be more worried about having enough quarters to collect unemployment.
• Helen had a long talk with Aaryn, trying for a "do-over."
• Aaryn wants Helen to make Elissa stop picking on her.
• Oh geez.
• Aaryn and Kaitlin think Jessie told Amanda that she was being considered for nomination.
• Oh, yeah. Kaitlin seems to have lived.
• Candice cried, telling Helen she thinks Spencer set her up with the Elissa vote snafu.
• Judd told McCrae that Nick has physically threatened him over nominations.
• Hmm.
• Spencer and Howard think GinaMarie should go on the block.
• One thing I've noticed in all of this ring around the rosy nominations possibilities ... no one is throwing Howard's name in there.
• Howard-a-Day goes on!

Still annoying

Golly gee, I AM a doofus!

Private bible study

Aw, she's sick. Too bad, so sad.

Howard-a-Day

The start

Big Brother 15: Rob Has a Podcast (featuring Ian Terry)

Although quite long, I really enjoyed Rob Cesternino's podcast from after last night's show. I love getting Ian's take on the house happenings! My one real fuss is the live-feeder. Albeit very knowledgeable, could he be any more monotone? Yikes!

Check it out!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Overnight into the 4th of July

The new HoH ... WAH!

Yeah, Aaryn cried a lot after getting the Hoh-dom. I'm sure there were tears across the nation. Or, perhaps just frustration. If you haven't already, go read my last post about the HoH comp, then come back. I'll wait.

You're back? Good! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hateful Hamsters:

• Just to recap a bit -- Jeremy and Aaryn won the HoH comp. Jeremy gave the HoHship to Aaryn. That's probably a fairly smart move on his part. He can still "advise" her on nominations, yet his hands remain clean.
• Or, as clean as they can be when he wipes hats belonging to other people on his butt.
• Aaryn got to choose the Have Nots. She chose Helen, Andy, Candice and Elissa.
• McCrae apparently volunteered to be a Have Not, but she didn't take him up on the offer. All of the Have Not choice stuff was blocked to the feeds.
• Aaryn said that Jeremy and Kaitlin can spend the first night up in the HoH room.
• As per the MC plan, the "hinky" votes have the house in an uproar.
• Both Spencer and David repeatedly lie and even embellish some on how loyal they were to voting out Elissa.
• Aaryn cried. She has no clue who can be trusted and who betrayed her.
• Poor hateful little baby. My heart goes out to her. Not.
• Andy admitted to Aaryn he voted to send David home. She respects that (she says) because he's being honest with her.
• Candice, on the other hand, did vote to oust Elissa yet is one of Aaryn's chief suspects in voting David out.
• Aaryn cried some more.
• Candice told her that she wanted to vote with the house and was told by (will not tell Aaryn) that someone would come to her and tell her how to vote. (That someone who told her someone would come was Helen.)
• The someone who came to her was Spencer. He told her they were all voting Elissa out. So, because she wanted to be with the house vote, she voted to keep David in, get Elissa out.
• Aaryn told Candice she believes her.
• But she really doesn't.
• Yet Aaryn is so sure that both Nick and Spencer voted to evict Elissa! So, those two votes in her mind had to be others betraying her!
• Jessie ran into the photo booth crying that she was sure she was going home.
• GinaMarie fussed with her paw, saying she hurt it in the comp when she fell. It turned out she sprained her claw finger.
• I think they're all bearing new bruises and scrapes when they already had some starting out in the comp.
• Helen told Howard that Spencer told Candice to evict Elissa. Howard told her he was supposed to tell her to evict David. They both think Spencer is playing them all.
• He is.
• Helen told Elissa they need to put on brave fronts and not let Aaryn get any satisfaction about making them Have Nots once again.
• Elissa told Helen that if they're together on the block, she'll volunteer to go home so Helen can stay.
• Hmm. Not QUITE like her sister although the editing on the show makes her seem very much like Rachel.
• Of all people, Jeremy seems to be running around trying to do damage control with crying women.
• GinaMarie told Aaryn that she's sure Nick voted with them to keep David in the house.
• Once again, the shocker is that Jeremy kept saying "That was last week. It's over. This is this week we need to think about."
• Oh my. I'm not going to let him worm into my mind that he might have a lick of common sense. The last time I thought that he stole wine and wiped Elissa's hat on his naked butt.
• Candice told Andy and McCrae that she knows Spencer had to vote to evict David despite his act.
• She's right.
• Aaryn thinks if she weren't HoH this week, she'd be going home.
• She's probably right. Little does she know her mouth has cost her not one, but two jobs. Oopsie!
• Aaryn is worried that if she puts Elissa on the block and Elissa is once again MVP, she'll put someone weak up that she can beat in PoV.
• Jeremy tried to tell Aaryn they should all sleep on things overnight and make nominations decisions when everything has calmed a bit.
• Hmm.
• Oh, but then he claimed that McCrae got "Jew'd" because Elissa stayed.
• Okay, he's still a jerk. I feel better now.
• Candice told Helen she heard the audience boo when she made her vote.
• Helen told Candice that she thinks Spencer and Jeremy might be working together and having them (Helen, Candice) do their dirty work by giving them conflicting voting target information.
• They then end up thinking it's Spencer, Nick and Jeremy ... perhaps Howard in on it.
• Smart cookies, those gals. Now, what are they going to do with their suspicions? What can they do?
• Spencer told Helen he told Candice IF ASKED to say she voted for Elissa to go, not to actually vote for Elissa to go.
• Yeah, right.
• Who wants to see my HoH?
• No one. Go away.
• Er. Ahem.
• They all put on the traditional fake act.
• Her letter started out with "My dear little princess ..."
• No wonder she's so whacked.
• GinaMarie cried because Elissa is still in the house. Now she's saying she has an eating disorder and BB is making it worse. @@
• Jeremy told Aaryn she could put him on the block because he'll surely win PoV. He pushes her for a Helen/Elissa nomination.
• I thought he said "sleep on it" before?
• Kaitlin told Aaryn the fact that the audience boo'd her when she voted to evict Elissa is scary.
• They really should soundproof that place a bit better, I say!
• Heh. Aaryn thinks she "better get a good job" after all this. BWAHAHAHA!
• BB gave them booze. There was no wine-gate this time.
• (Sidenote: Argh. My upstairs neighbor is either running in place or jump-roping up there. Who does he think he is? Helen?)
• Kaitlin is sure that if Elissa wins MVP again, she'll put her on the block because she (Elissa) called her a "whore" on national television.
• Um. Okay. I think Elissa might have bigger fish to fry. But maybe.
• Aaryn called America "stupid" and tossed out an expletive at us.
• How to win friends and influence people, eh?
• Aaryn also said that GinaMarie doesn't even realize that Nick is a "queer."
• Now, in my mind, I see her flitting about singing, "Pretty, I'm so pretty ..." But she'd probably gag when the line about "Pretty, and witty, and gay" came up.
• Aaryn is a bad example of today's youth. I don't know what else to say about her. A pretty package, but ugly within.
• They're all sleeping as I get this posted.

Howard-a-Day

GinaMarie has an ouchie

Why did I do this? I'm not her!

I'm surrounded by weirdos, must smile

Big Brother 15: First Endurance HoH Comp of the season - 7/03

Well, it's actually more like a slip and slide than an actual endurance. It's going to be a LONG comp ... so, it's endurance on our part!

As I type this, the feeds are still blocked. But when they come back up, I'll keep up with the comp posting screencaps and the eventual winner. It's going to be a long night, for sure.

The feeds are still blocked at 9:14pm ET, but here are the pairs:

Nick/Judd
Spencer/Helen
Andy/Elissa 
Kaitlin/Amanda
Jeremy/Aaryn
Jessie/Howard
Candice/GinaMarie

9:25pm ET and still no feeds for the comp. What's up with that?

9:29 and we have audio ...!

9:32pm ET and we lost the audio. We never had video except for trivia. Someone (Nick?) said something about "exactly halfway." But since we had trivia, I don't know.

Up and running at 9:34pm ET

Amanda/Kaitlin doing well

Nick and Judd filled the smaller jug to get the bigger scoops. But will they catch up?

Nick and Judd

We're back to blocked feeds and trivia. I couldn't see all the hamsters. But it appeared that Amanda and Kaitlin were doing quite well.

9:49pm ET - Feeds back. Andy and Elissa also doing very well! Uh-oh, so are Aaryn and Jeremy. Eep.

9:53pm ET

9:55pm ET - Feeds are blocked with trivia again. Grr.

OH NOES! 10:01pm ET -- JEREMY GOT THE BALL. Rats. Andy was SO close! Either Jeremy or Aaryn will be the new HoH. When I know, you'll know.

ARGH!

There's bound to be some controversy because Jeremy used his hands instead of a cup, but I imagine they'll remain the winners.

Wah.

Aaryn, who's almost lost her voice, is trying to get people to confess to voting out David. Jeremy, for once showing smarts, says that was last week, this is this week; time to move on.

Somehow, Elissa, Helen, Andy and Candice are Have Nots. McCrae volunteered to be one, but didn't get chosen. I guess Jeremy or Aaryn named the Have Nots.
Spencer is denying voting for David to leave way too much.

I just heard Jeremy say "if I got HoH." Uh-oh. I think he gave it to Aaryn.

Yes, CONFIRMED ... AARYN is HoH.

The three noms get a brief statement. Jessie, happy birthday dad, great week. Elissa - target since day one, keep target around, no one comes between me and my BB game. David - stand up guy, will wear pink dress again.

Julie tells them David is evicted ... Aaryn is stunned. She looks like a zombie.

David did his interview with Julie. The dude is SO clueless.

BBMVP voting is announced.

HoH comp time! Tomorrow is the 4th of July -- BB BBQ, picked balls out of a bag to pick a partner. Fill cup of BBQ sauce, down lane to partner, first one to remove ping pong ball from jug wins. Small jug has two cups for the team to remove the ball more quickly. The winning pair must decide amongst themselves which will be HoH.

Ah, an endurance. I'll post an update post when the feeds come up and keep you updated!  

 

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Pre-Eviction and GinaMarie fired, too

Today's Howard-a-Day screencap

Today's one of those days that more interesting stuff about Big Brother is coming from outside the house rather than inside it. I told you about Aaryn getting fired from her talent agency in my last post. Now GinaMarie has also been fired from her pageant gig. I feel the need to mention just yesterday in her breakdown she was saying how much she hated her job. Well, now she won't have to deal with it!

Here's the latest from inside the Big Brother House of the Rapidly Unemployed:

• My gosh, Helen trains like a prizefighter. 
• The live eviction days in the house are usually full of housekeeping and primping.
• Although this is the first live eviction show for these hamsters, they're following tradition.
• The more I see of Howard, the more I like him. I believe I respect him, too.
• I don't say that of many hamsters, past or present.
• Elissa thinks that if she gets voted out, BB will think of a way to put her back in because "they worked too hard getting me in here."
• Hmm. I don't like that.
• I have nothing against Elissa as a player in the game. At least she's not coming across as stupid and bigoted. BUT ... are they paying her more than the others? What will they stoop to to keep her in the house?
• Inquiring minds want to know.
• That said, BB seemingly has nothing to do with David being the target this week.
• About the only BB connection is that they think Elissa will keep getting voted MVP and they can use that as a back-up plan for a backdoor.
• Howard had a long talk with Helen about using her head not her heart in the game.
• Jeremy told Spencer that he (Jeremy) has a secret alliance with Helen until the fourth eviction.
• Does Helen know this?
• Lots of small talk, lots of "what if" scenarios about HoH winner.
• Typical.
• Remember -- tonight's live eviction show is at 8pm ET. Next week it moves to Thursday 9pm ET. We'll be losing the Tuesday night show next week for Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Big Brother 15: Aaryn fired by her modeling agency

Poser

Tons of articles out there, here is but one. While in looks, she's quite pretty, she's not pretty when she's tossing out the gay, Asian and black slurs. Not at all.

If you do a Google search for "aaryn big brother" -- you'll find many more.

Do you think she deserves the shun from her agency? Do you think she can in any way redeem herself?

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Tuesday Night into Wednesday 7/02 - 7/03

Stupid is as stupid does

So, Momma proud of you now, Jeremy?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Disgusting Behavior:

• Okay, since I led off with the shot, even though it's a bit out of order, I'll go there first.
• Not that I really want to go there, mind you!
• Just when Jeremy was starting to redeem himself a teensy bit with me, he took Elissa's cap and wiped his butt with it.
• That's just nasty. I guess he thought of Shannon with Hardy's toothbrush and wanted to make more of a name for himself.
• It even tops Spencer's odd flashing while going down the stairs yesterday.
• He did get into trouble with BB for it and had to confess and apologize to Elissa.
• He said it was stupid and immature.
• Y'think?
• He told her BB is dry cleaning her hat (I still wouldn't wear it!) and that he will buy her a new hat from his BB stipend earnings.
• @@
• He claimed to be very sorry.
• I don't think he came across as all that sincere.
• Elissa is concerned about his lack of respect for women.
• Hey, he's a Mommy's boy! :::looking towards his Mom, wherever she may be:::
• He told the others it wasn't a big deal. He also downplayed exactly what he did when apologizing to Elissa.
• Back to the other happenings ...
• Helen said her husband told her not to take the phone call from home if it's offered as a prize. I guess he wants her to concentrate on the game at hand.
• Nick and Andy talked about Trader Joe's. Mmm.
• GinaMarie thinks Candice's voice sounds "too white."
• Say what? I'm speechless.
• Thankfully I can still write.
• Behind blocked feeds, they rehearsed for the eviction show.
• While McCrae is very antsy as he'll be losing his safety, Spencer and Howard think they're smooth sailing as they get along with all.
• Howard told the guys that Helen's workout almost killed him. It did. I saw. That Helen's one tough physical cookie. Who woulda thunk it?
• Aaryn finally apologized to Candice about her fit over the bent hat. Candice alluded to the fact that had she actually sat on it, it would be more than bent.
• They're all worried about the lack of beds situation.
• The Have Not comp will solve that one.
• Nick told Elissa he's "voting with the house." We know that means David.
• Elissa, on the other hand, does not know for sure that means David.
• Aaryn said that Elissa would look better if she didn't have a man's bone structure.
• Oh, come on now. My only personal problem with Elissa's looks is that she reminds me too much of Rachel and Rachel annoyed me to no end. She doesn't have a "man's bone structure." She's not unattractive.
• Aaryn needs to realize a pretty face means nothing if it covers an ugly soul.
• Or something like that.
• Helen thinks she's the only one who's not an actor, actress or model in the house. She's not that far off, but I give you: McCrae, Spencer ... who else?
• Amanda, not knowing about the MC, wants Nick out before Aaryn.
• In a way, she has a good point -- Nick is more popular and good in comps. If Aaryn ever made it to the end without her Bieber Fever buddies, she wouldn't get even one vote to win.
• Amanda also said that the Diary Room has been hinting to Aaryn that David might be leaving.
• Now, that's just not right! We've been through this before with the DR steering hamsters. Stop that, Big Brother.
• BB must have really come down on Jeremy (as they should). He told Judd that he didn't know a HG could be expelled from the house.
• The plan is still for a majority vote to evict David.
• They're all sleeping as I post this.

Howard a day screen cap

Ouchies!

Big Brother 15: Nominations, MVP Show Blog Party - 7/02

Hamsterwatchers! Are you ready? Tonight is the nominations show blog party! Come one! Come all!

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. But the real party, as always, is in the comments area. Come join us!

McCrae nominated Candice and Jessie.

Everybody thinks Elissa will be the MVP because of Rachel.

And, yes. America (Rachel fans) chose Elissa for MVP. She tells McCrae, telling him to keep it a secret. She also seeks advice on the nominee. He suggests David. He tells her he will be putting her on the block (because it's what the house wants and he needs to think of his own game) if the veto is used. Then he told her she'd still be safe.

Time to pick players for the veto comp! But, first ... the MVP nomination. The video screen stops on David's photo. So, McCrae randomlypicks - Elissa, Howard.

David is mad. Aaryn cries because he doesn't trust her. She blames him for making her cry in front of the house although HE is the one on the block.

McCrae, getting closer to Amanda, tells her that Elissa won MVP. He told her not to say anything since he's the only one who knows. Elissa keeps lying about it to others.

Veto comp time - The guy from the American Baking Competition is there. Howard says he'll get to see honeys in honey and smiles a lot. They have to go through honey, retrieve blueberry letters out of batter one at a time and spell the longest word they can spell. All are done. Well, except David. He chose too big a word. He's out of time.

The words:
Howard: sailing
Jessie: tumbled
Candice: rafts
David: didn't spell anything
Elissa: pot roast - eliminated - two words
McCrae: delivery

McCrae wins the PoV.

He feels he has to put Elissa on the block to keep himself in good graces with the house. Meanwhile, Nick thinks the Moving Company needs to get rid of David and they can use Elissa's MVP possibilities down the road. McCrae is in a quandary. Poor hamster.

Veto meeting time! McCrae uses the veto to save Candice. He puts Elissa on the block in her place. Told her better for the harmony of the house if she were to go home this week.

McCrae tells US that Elissa is NOT the target and won't be going home this week.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Tuesday Daytime 7/02

Too sexy for his shirt

Many "news" sources are picking up on the hate speech by some hamsters on the live feeds. Although I don't really think it's a "dumb" show -- I enjoy the behavior studies myself -- I do agree with a lot of what is written in this PBS article. I also think that, with the economy being the way it is, it shouldn't be all that hard to find an older bunch of folks to make for a better mix. There's a lot of laid-off people who could use a $750 a week stipend!

Remember ... the show starts at 9pm ET tonight! The blog party will be ON.

Anyway, here's what's happened so far today inside that Big Brother House of Silly Children:

• Judd, Howard and Spencer talked about the immaturity level of the young'uns.
• But, later in the day, I really enjoyed Helen and Howard's talk. Not only did they come across as adults, the conversation came off as intelligent and insightful.
• When Spencer and Judd talk, while they're definitely not Bieber Fever, they more like a couple of good ol' country boys.
• Nothing really wrong with that, mind you. But it often swings around to the misogynistic.
• Spencer talks about smoking marijuana a lot. I doubt he's talking medicinal. I don't know how his railroad would react. While they say he's a "conductor" for the show bio, he's actually an engineer if he drives the train. Around here, they random drug test engineers. 
• Surprise, surprise ... Jeremy actually tried to console GinaMarie to make her feel better and less homesick.
• To give him a bit of credit, he has seemed sincere in his interactions with Helen after he blew up at her the other night.
• Then Amanda cried. She thinks she's blown what she had with a boyfriend pre-habitral due to her lust, er ... relationship with McCrae.
• @@
• It's like it's just dawning her that they're on national television, not to even mention the internet worldwide.
• Jeremy has no love lost for Elissa even though he's showing his soft side to GinaMarie.
• Howard and Helen had an extensive backyard workout. He did all kinds of athletic crunches and such. Then they ran laps. Helen wore him out. But, then again, he did more exercise before the laps!
• If Helen is in an endurance comp, my money would be on her.
• Aaryn thinks it's funny that so many people have been on the verge of breakdowns.
• Wait until she has one!
• It still looks like David will be evicted tomorrow.

Sleeping in the Have Not Room

All that and a chip ... on his shoulder

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday Night - 7/01-7/02

What's going on?

I know the suspense might be too much. So, I'll let you know right away. No, Nick isn't the house's dog. He doesn't go "woof, woof." They're playing charades.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Rampant Rodents:

• Jessie keeps following Nick around. She thinks she's very likeable and can't understand anyone not wanting to be around her.
• Nutcase, I say.
• GinaMarie's meltdown about her clothes being taken by BB soon went into how rotten her whole life is. She doesn't like her looks. She doesn't like her job. She doesn't like her life. She wants to go home.
• Another nutcase, I say.
• Nick was the poor person listening to much of GinaMarie's meltdown. He might have been better off with Jessie hanging on him.
• Of course, if I were in the house, I'd be a bigger nutcase than either of them. But I'm smart enough to just stay here and mock hamsters.
• McCrae and Amanda are still smooching. I'm still curious what's going to happen when he's no longer HoH. Will she be as interested then?
• They still question Nick's sexuality. Aaryn started the latest by telling David that Nick wanted to sleep with him.
• In actuality, Nick said he'd sleep in David's bed if need be. He didn't say WITH David.
• Jessie thinks people are treating Elissa better than they're treating her.
• How dare they? After all, she's so darn likeable!
• Aaryn told David he should pay attention to the life lessons he learns on the show.
• I'm biting my tongue. 
• Wait until Aaryn goes back out in the real world! David is just a doofus. Aaryn has tossed slurs all around the house. I can't help but wonder what she will learn. Or, IF she will learn.
• Aaryn spent a lot of time telling David that he wasn't the right guy for her in the long run.
• In other words, she might as well have said she's using him.
• Aaryn told GinaMarie that she doesn't like David and just pretends she does.
• @@
• Jessie went on with Elissa about her good looks. Not only is she darn likeable, she's good-looking, too! What a package!
• Then, I ask ... why does she come across as so desperate for attention and friendships?
• Elissa suggested they do charades of movie titles.
• And they did.
• Oh my. The hamsters can be herded.
• Most of the Bieber Fever bunch think Elissa was brought aboard just to screw up the house.
• The MC seems to still be sticking together. But it's getting confusing who might be going home. First, it was clear cut it would be Elissa. Then it was clear-cut it would be David. Now it's getting muddled a bit.
• It should still be David walking out that door Wednesday, though.

Howard, muscles covered

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday Daytime - 7/01

Andy and Spencer, not a showmance

After last night's big brouhahas over really nothing (whether McCrae put a pizza tray in the oven, Jeremy taking extra wine, a squashed cowboy hat), today's been rather quiet. Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:

• Spencer admitted to McCrae he just said "Candice sat on it" on the spot when Aaryn went off about her hat being bent. He has no clue how the hat got bent.
• Jessie is about the only early riser in the house, but most nights the majority of the house is up until almost dawn.
• Jessie doesn't talk to us while she's up alone.
• You'd think McCrae, a superfan, would know we like being talked to. That's one fantastic thing about Evel Dick -- he'd get up early almost every morning and talk to the live feeders.
• The MC bunch think that David is a nice guy, but a very weak player.
• Well. Duh. He came to be on TV with a showmance. That's not a good strategy!
• Half the day was spent talking trash about other players.
• Howard seems to still be getting by without ruffling anyone's feathers.
• He used the gym equipment today. My gosh, you talk about MUSCLES!
• GinaMarie cried and had a huge hissy fit because BB took a lot of the clothes she brought.
• Well, she probably should have taken their rules seriously. They're very strict about clothes with logos. Colleges and states for t-shirts are about the only ones they regularly allow. I recall someone complaining a few seasons back they were told not to bring white.
• The HoH camera came into play today.
• Elissa did her yoga.
• Howard and Jessie had a big bible study session.
• All in all, whole lotta nuthin' goin' on today. 

HoH Camera time

Clueless

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Sunday Night into Monday Wee Hours - 6/30-7/01

Problems ...

Oh my. Bieber Fever is doing themselves in. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Immature Idjits:

• While there was another booze delivery, the house decided to wait until midnight to break into it.
• Why midnight?
• Because the Have Nots were allowed to eat (and drink) then.
• All is hunky-dory, right?
• Nope.
• Aaryn continues to instigate problems in the house. She seems to be at the core of most of the issues.
• Aaryn blames alcohol for her slurs.
• Yeah, right.
• And we thought Elissa was going to be the problem!
• Jeremy snagged a bottle of red wine and drank it with Kaitlin.
• Before midnight.
• Brouhaha!
• Jeremy went drunk boy obnoxious and mouthy.
• Aaryn egged him on.
• Oops. Now Kaitlin feels bad.
• Jeremy went off about Helen targeting him.
• Amanda confronted him at the pool and he told her how great he was.
• He's here to win and they're all going to bow to him!
• Helen cried.
• The Candice sitting on Aaryn's hat thing came up again.
• Kaitlin dragged Jeremy in the house and yelled at him.
• She said that he has just sent David home with his behavior.
• Then Helen talked to him (crying) and said his mother watched his behavior.
• Then he apologized and blamed the booze.
• Meanwhile, Nick says he's going crazy hanging out with the Bieber Fever group.
• Although it was Jeremy with the outburst, it's Aaryn who the others blame.
• The boys are all happy because the girls are all fighting.
• They're thrilled with Jeremy's outburst as, when David goes home, they can refer back to that.
• The plot thickens ...

Poser

Helen cried. :-(
