Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Friday Night Late - July 12-13

Well, that's new!

I usually close my browser without signing off of the feeds. When I did this earlier, I returned and saw this screen. I thought I was signed out, went to sign on again and realized I was already signed in. I've seen disclaimers about adult content over the years with Superpass, but never anything about "prejudices and other beliefs." Gee, I wonder why that is? Heh. CBS is trying to cover their butt.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Prejudices and Other Beliefs:

• Helen had a long heart to heart talk with Spencer in which he sucked up appropriately. He vowed to never vote her out.
• She once again brought it to America's attention on the cameras.
• She really needs to stop crying when she has these talks. She's a strong smart woman and the tears hurt her game, methinks.
• Amanda told Aaryn she needs to be cool, Jeremy is the ultimate target.
• Helen told Kaitlin she's the pawn.
• Grr. I'd like to see one of the Mean Girls actually out of there! I was so happy with the Mean Girls Nominations.
• McCrae told Aaryn that Jeremy wanted both her and Kaitlin out.
• Ah, good ... mess with her head! Do it some more!
• Jeremy's scrambling a bit -- he knows he's in trouble even though he's not on the block.
• Helen is still wanting a Howard backdoor. She doesn't like people lying to her and she saw through his lies.
• Aaryn said she did some things she shouldn't have done in the heat of the moment. Y'think?
• But, what she said had to come from within. In my opinion, no matter the situation, you don't just spout off racial etc. slurs without possessing those thoughts in the first place.
• Now the whole house knows about the Moving Company and Nick being the mastermind behind it.
• GinaMarie found it hilarious when Judd told her that Nick was a "professional roller skater" who had attended Yale.
• She didn't believe it at first, but then enough people agreed that was his profession.
• Well, at least she stopped crying. She's still wearing the hat and cradling the cup, though.
• Howard apologized to Helen for lying to her. She cried ... said now she looks like such a fool for trusting him and Spencer.
• STOP CRYING, HELEN!
• Elissa got the MVP for the third week in a row.
• This time McCrae is going to pretend he's the MVP so the other side will think someone other than Elissa got it.
• Interesting ... the Diary Room apparently steered them away from putting Howard on the block as the MVP nomination. Helen told Elissa, "The show doesn't want us to put up Howard."
• I guess it wouldn't look too good for the black guy to be voted out with all the racial brouhaha in the media.
• That's okay with me. I'll keep going with my Howard-a-Day screencaps!
• Back to Jeremy being the target. I'd prefer that anyway.

I will be without Internet access for a few days -- I have a post scheduled for 5pm ET so that readers can post live feeds updates in my absence. I will be checking those out on my return and cleaning up any spam, erroneous, etc. comments. I also have a blog party post scheduled for Sunday evening 8pm ET. This will be the only time I do this this summer, but I gotta. Behave yourselves! :-)

Future Santa Claus?

Howard-a-Day

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Friday - Have Nots, Nominations - July 12

Howard-a-Day

After last night's brouhahas, today was a lot quieter. But we still have some powder kegs just waiting to go off in the house. Here's what happened today inside that Big Brother House of Future Failures:

• Judd, Andy and Helen pretty much have Howard and Spencer figured out, but don't know which one voted to keep Nick.
• They agree not to mention it to Candice because of her relationship with Howard.
• All three agree Jeremy really needs to leave.
• Helen did question Jessie about the hinky vote and believed her when she said she voted to keep Elissa.
• Jessie already seems a teensy bit more comfortable in the house since switching sides. Now she has friends! Woo.
• Helen and Elissa marveled about how calm Judd remains while chaos is all about him.
• He continues to work his way into becoming my favorite hamster.
• Andy and Candice talked about the racism in the house. Candice said it's malicious.
• Yep, you got that right. She's suffering now, but she'll have a pleasant surprise about the media back-up for her case when she leaves the house.
• The feeds were blocked for the Have/Have Not Comp. It was definitely another gooey one as they had stuff on them and the house had plastic covering everything.
• The plastic is probably because they know these hamsters wouldn't bother cleaning up a mess.
• Unlike last week when Aaryn (HOH) chose the Have Nots, this time they were split into teams.
• The Yellow Team lost, making Judd, Jessie, McCrae and Amanda the latest Have Nots.
• Rats. I was hoping for different ones.
• You know who.
• Helen told Candice not to trust Howard, but didn't go into detail why.
• Helen talked to Jeremy and offered to keep him safe if he kept her safe.
• He agreed.
• She turned to the camera and called on America as a witness.
• Jeremy told Helen about the Moving Company.
• She's probably sick of hearing about it by now!
• But he gave her a new tidbit -- He told her Spencer and McCrae betrayed the Moving Company and voted to keep Elissa while he and Howard voted to keep Nick.
• Helen told Jeremy that she had wanted to try to work with Aaryn, but thinks after last night, she just can't.
• Good.
• Then McCrae went and told her about the Moving Company.
• Enough already!
• Will Nick make a special appearance on their video screen to tell her about the Moving Company next?
• She told McCrae that, thankfully, Amanda had already figured it out and told her before last night.
• Howard continues to lie to Helen about the vote. Finally he admitted the vote, then lied about the MC ... which Helen already knew about.
• Oy, Howard.
• Helen's tossing around the idea of either an Aaryn/Kaitlin nom or a Spencer/Howard one. She's also still talking about backdooring Jeremy.
• Helen told Kaitlin she won't be going home.
• But ... but ... but ... Kaitlin is EVIL MEAN! 
• Helen definitely wants to put Aaryn on the block. That way, if the MVP isn't someone in their group, they have a good stand-by for eviction.
• She's also really lost her trust in Spencer.
• And, me?
• I'm just sitting here typing away waiting for the feeds to come back from nominations ceremony block.
• So, I'll bop my head to the bad BB music a little while longer.
• I suppose it would be too much to crank the BB music and dance with the cat.
• Anytime now the feeds should be back.
• What this BB house needs is a Sharknado to blow through it!
• Heehee.
• It looks like Howard and Aaryn are indeed on the block.
• Just waiting for better confirmation.
• Wait ... wait ... Aaryn's definitely up. Could it be Kaitlin up with her?
• Yes! Yes, it is! The MVP nomination, if it goes to Elissa, will probably be Howard.
• Aaryn and Kaitlin are on the block. It's a Mean Girls Nomination Night! 

Another messy comp

Guacamole and grapefruit

Still pining for her lost "love"

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Thursday Night into Friday - 7/11-7/12

I loved that kid!

Oh my. It was some night in the house. Celebrations! Catfights! Long talks. Tears. Jeers. Screaming. Hurt feelings. High school mean girls times ten. Where to start? I guess I'll start from the beginning. Here's the overnight escapades from inside that Big Brother House of Pitiful Pet Rats:

• Helen and the group don't suspect Howard of the hinky vote. Helen says she doesn't like disloyal people.
• They suspect the hinky vote was Jessie. Howard and Spencer have a lot to do with the suspicion cast her way.
• Helen danced a lot, as did Elissa.
• The house seems to be changing Helen. She's using the F word an awful lot as of late.
• GinaMarie, wearing Nick's blue cap, cried hysterically on and off all night. When she wasn't crying, she was sniffling. When she wasn't sniffling or crying, she was fighting.
• She used a pair of red shorts to blow her nose on, as well as whatever was in reach. Ew. Biohazard, I say!
• She honestly thinks she and Nick were going to be this great couple while admitting they hadn't even kissed.
• At over 30, she's acting about 14 and referring to Nick as "that kid."
• Most people at 30ish aren't kids in their own minds anymore. Sure, they can be kids to me because I'm older, but ...!
• Jeremy was the surprising one. Although, thinking of his gameplay, not all that surprising.
• He congratulated Helen and even told Elissa he admires her gameplay and strategic moves.
• He kept leaving his two concubines to hang out with the rest of the house.
• He acted duly mocking of his own self for getting the boot at the first question in the comp.
• He didn't threaten anyone.
• While he was around during the catfights, he neither got involved nor helped quell them.
• He was almost likeable and mature. Then I remembered he's Jeremy. Ew.
• Then there's Aaryn and Kaitlin -- the nightmare mean girl bullies of our junior high/high school days. It almost kicked me into PTSD over the mean girls who tormented me in my teen years to watch them ... especially Kaitlin.
• Aaryn did dumb girl stuff. She tipped over Candice's bed and just doesn't have a clue.
• Kaitlin claimed Jessie's bed that Jessie has slept on since entering the house.
• I still can't get the look of glee on Kaitlin's face off my mind as she tormented both Candice and Jessie. Even Jeremy distanced himself a bit from her.
• When Kaitlin heard at one point that Candice was crying, she burst into laughter and raised a power fist.
• Who does that, I ask? What kind of person thrives on upsetting another person just to upset them? 
• Howard ended up carrying Candice (who was oh-so-ready for a knock-down drag-out hair-pulling claws out catfight with GinaMarie) out of the room.
• Judd rescued Jessie, prompting cat calls from the mean girls about how she couldn't get anyone else, so she went for Judd.
• To be honest, although Judd seems to like the female attention, he doesn't seem like he's there for a showmance.
• Judd has moved up almost daily in my own personal hamster rankings. I don't think he'll win the show, but at least he's a halfway decent person.
• Judd told Helen he'd like to host the next PoV comp if he doesn't play. She said okay.
• He thanked her, "Mumble, mumble."
• I pick on that mumbling, but he can speak up and be understood when he wants. When he's talking game low, he's so hard to understand!
• Aaryn whined about the game not being fair. Heck, was it ever fair?
• Amanda again told Aaryn about the racist talk keeping people from wanting to get close to her.
• Every time Amanda mentioned the Diary Room questioning them about Aaryn's racist comments, we got fish.
• Aaryn is in disbelief. How can people say that about her?
• I say, "Pot, kettle, black." 
• I do think the race issues with this cast are a horrendous representation in today's world. I live in an area where more people are black or Hispanic than white while I'm white. I have friends of all kinds from all walks of life and from several different countries. Good people are good people, no matter race, color, national origin, etc. 
• Bad people obviously get recruited to be hamsters on Big Brother.
• I was dismayed that after Howard carried Candice away from the catfight, he told her that he's had to be tapdancing and shucking and jiving to keep in with the others. Now, is he doing that with his talks with Spencer? I don't think so.
• Dang. I just can't believe race is such an issue! My friends and I have good-natured joking occasionally about our differences, but nothing deep malicious. I recall a discussion on the train with a black male friend about great white egrets after we saw one out the window. He said he thought that egrets were black. I asked him why they'd be called great white egrets if they were black. Another black male friend nearby said, "Yeah, it's always about color, isn't it? And they're 'great', huh?" A nearby woman looked at us like we were all crazy. But it was all just in fun. If everyone was alike, this would be a boring world indeed. Around this area, I like to think most of us cherish our differences and we all bring something to the table of life.
• < / soapbox>
• Candice and Jessie were told by their friends they didn't want them sleeping in the room with the mean girls (and Jeremy).
• Helen offered to put them both up in the HoH room.
• Aaryn told Kaitlin that the way Jeremy is acting is going to push people away.
• Um. No. It might push the mean girls away, but he's acting the best of his side. 
• Amanda knows it was either Howard or Spencer voting the hinky vote even though those two are trying to blame Jessie.
• GinaMarie hysterically cried some more while saying she cooked and cleaned ... NO MORE!
• Jeremy giggled and said he never cleaned anyway. But we knew that.
• Aaryn told Kaitlin that Jeremy only thinks of himself.
• Yup. And right now Jeremy thinking of his own game is doing better than them being so horribly mean and vindictive.
• He will surely be a target, but they're both drawing bigger targets on themselves with their bad behavior.
• Jeremy told the Mean Girls that he was disgusted with America for voting Elissa MVP twice.
• He doesn't realize that, when the time comes that the votes don't go through for Elissa, they won't go their way. 
• GinaMarie said that Nick made her feel smart.
• Well, that's pretty dumb, I say. One should "feel smart" on their own merits, not with some sort of hyped-up pseudo-relationship.
• Aaryn and her crew figured out that Howard voted with them to save Nick.
• Unfortunately, Candice keeps telling her side that no way did Howard vote to save Nick.
• Candice is building her own personal pseudo-relationship with Howard, albeit a bit more real (just a bit) than the GinaMarie/Nick charade.
• Thankfully, Andy, McCrae and Amanda are pretty sure either Howard or Spencer made the hinky vote.
• I have to give Jessie kudos for going down from the HoH room reveal quickly to jump in her bed and defend her territory from the Mean Girls. I didn't think she had that much spunk.
• The game is getting to Howard. He broke down and cried after trying to calm down Candice for the longest time.
• That was very sad.
• Candice told the live feeders that whoever Aaryn's parents are, they did a horrible job raising her. Helen assured her the cameras see everything.
• I personally would say the same of Kaitlin. While Aaryn is pretty much just a pretty face dumb racist, Kaitlin has an unbelievable mean streak and takes too much pleasure in the suffering of others. She's mean just to be mean and then laughs about it.
• Jeremy won't defend his gals. He said they're all being catty.
• Meow.
• Aaryn is sure she's being called racist because she's from Texas with blond hair and blue eyes.
• @@
• Since Candice really really wants to sleep downstairs, not in the HoH room, Elissa and Jessie join her. Power in numbers, I guess.
• Amanda and McCrae join them.
• Aaryn says that because she's from the south, it's easier to portray her as a racist.
• @@
• Keep coming up with excuses, girl.
• McCrae told Aaryn her gameplay sucks because she won't make an effort to get along with others at all.
• Amanda told Aaryn that both David and Nick are gone because of her (Aaryn's) actions.
• McCrae told Amanda about the Moving Company.
• Helen still thinks Spencer was the vote for Nick to stay, not Howard. That's because Candice is in her ear about it and believes Howard.
• Kaitlin made some apologies to those she yelled at.
• I doubt her sincerity.
• Judd told Amanda that they'll need to vote out someone, but not necessarily the real obnoxious ones.
• Apparently he either feels the real obnoxious ones will have bigger targets on their backs or, if they make it to the finals, no one will like them enough to vote them the winner.
• Have I said Judd might be the best playing hamster in the habitrail?
• Howard lied to Helen again about the vote.
• Helen told him she doesn't like liars.
• I say, "Hey, it's BB!"
• Jeremy and Aaryn talked about karma.
• Yeah. Really.
• BHAHAHAHAHAHA!
• All are in bed now.
• What a night. Gotta say, the best live feeds in years!
• RIP -- The Moving Company, age 2 weeks.

Some are happy

Some are glum

She's worse than Aaryn, methinks

Big Brother 15: Live Eviction and HoH Comp Show Blog Party - July 11

Well, this is it! Tonight all the speculation in one of the hardest to predict evictions will be over. It could go either way as far as the vote. As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest! However, as always, the real party is in the comments! Bring your beach towel and a beverage, settle on in ... it's party time!

After some scheming, Julie talks to the houseguests. She goes into the showmance and want showmance topic ... talking to Jessie first. Loved the pause when Julie asked Aaryn if she was aware of the cameras at all time. Onto race issues ...again focusing only on Aaryn when we know she might be the worst, but isn't the only one!

The three nominees make statements -- Elissa - hoping not to be judged when she came in, America thank you, I'm a target, Nick a bigger threat. Nick - Great company, talks to some, odd speech. Helen - Blessed to be there with all, can't campaign against either Nick or Elissa.

The vote:

Jeremy - Elissa
Kaitlin - Elissa
Andy - Nick
GinaMarie - Elissa
Judd - Nick
Spencer - Nick WHOA!
Jessie - Nick
Howard - Elissa
McCrae - Nick
Amanda - Nick
Candice - Nick

Cool. Spencer flipped! Nick is gone! He took it well. GinaMarie freaked.

HOH comp -- Up in the middle of the night, memorizing items on an airport baggage carousel thing. It's called Overnight Delivery, true or false questions.

Out by question:
Judd
Jeremy

GinaMarie
Andy
Spencer
Andy
Elissa

To a tiebreaker --

McCrae out

2nd tiebreaker --
HELEN IS THE NEW HOH!!!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Overnight Into Thursday 7/11

Helen leads study class

It's been an active night for the hamsters in the habitrail. Well, for most of them anyway. Here's the overnight happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Frazzled Frenzy:

• Judd tried to talk Jessie into voting out Nick, telling her there's a guy alliance and they need to get them out before jury.
• Spencer told Howard that Helen isn't used to people lying to her. Howard agreed that she's naive.
• I have to agree with both of them. If Helen was a bit more leery of liars, she's smart and I think she could be a physical powerhouse in comps. Her daily workout almost gives me a heart attack to watch!
• Alas, now that Howard has been flirting with Candice, both Helen and Candice trust him.
• And he's loyal to Spencer (of all people!), MC or not. Those two are like a mini-alliance within MC.
• McCrae is thinking of jumping ship and moving to an Amanda, Judd, Elissa, Andy, Candice and Helen alliance.
• With such, they could run the house!
• The real shame is that two of the people on that alliance are on the block.
• They seriously think they can get Jessie to vote with them.
• So -- to vote out Elissa: Jeremy, Kaitlin, Spencer, GinaMarie and Howard. To vote out Nick -- McCrae, Amanda, Judd, Andy, Candice and possibly Jessie.
• The gap is closing.
• Howard told Nick that the last minute, he'll tell Andy that McCrae and Amanda flipped so that Andy and Judd will vote Elissa out "with the house."
• Howard's sure that it's going to be a landslide to keep Nick.
• Howard is wrong. 
• If Elissa goes, it's going to be very close.
• Both Aaryn and Kaitlin talked about previously wanting to be homemakers and now they want some kind of careers.
• Jeremy told them he'd love to be a stay at home husband.
• Why doesn't that surprise me?
• Then all heck broke loose as an air raid kind of alarm went off!
• A shot rang out!
• The maid screamed!
• (Sorry, I got caught up in the drama of it all.)
• The BB voice came over the loudspeaker telling them the lockdown was over.
• Now, that wasn't expected until the live show later tonight.
• Whassup?
• We got trivia on the feeds as we would intermittently throughout the night.
• BB sent them back in the house for another lockdown.
• It turns out there's some sort of airport luggage carousel thing in the yard.
• They're all studying the items passing through.
• Sometimes we have audio with trivia for it, sometimes we just have trivia and music, sometimes we have audio and visual -- but we can't see what the items passing through are.
• This kept up until past 8am my time here here on the East Coast!
• Hence, this late report. I kept thinking something more might happen.
• After a handful of times overnight, Jeremy apparently gave up and headed in while the rest of the house kept studying the items.
• They kept rehashing the items in little study groups.
• Except Jeremy.
• He either thinks that he knows it all or, more likely, is crushed because the comp will be memory and not something physical that he can win. Apparently if he has to work his mind, it just might go BOOM.
• Howard told Judd and Jessie that he has a photographic memory.
• We'll see about that!
• Jeremy does actually remember a lot of what he saw ... before he called it a night. Nick isn't good at it at all. Nor is Aaryn (but she can't compete anyway as outgoing HoH).
• Spencer tried to get information about Elissa from Judd.
• Judd said, "Mumble, mumble."
• Nick is worried about the vote.
• He should be.
• Candice told Amanda that Howard is voting out Nick, for sure.
• I wouldn't be so sure about that, Candice. You've been taken in by a hunky SEEMINGLY honest dude.
• While Spencer agreed with Andy that Elissa should stay, I don't believe him.
• I call this vote still up in the air.
• We won't know until the fat lady sings.
• And I don't know if I can sing until it actually goes down.
• So there!   

McCrae and Amanda memorize

Jeremy walks away, the rest stay

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Wednesday July 10 Into the Evening

My, Amanda has large feet!

Of course, that's in relation to McCrae's feet. My own feet are probably the same size as hers. Sigh. Here are the happenings from today inside that Big Brother House of _______ ________ (fill in the blanks; I'm pulling a blank):

• Argh! I can't really get a handle on this group. Usually it's clear-cut who will be evicted. This time not so much.
• I'm thinking it will indeed be Elissa.
• One moment people are saying they're going to vote for Nick, the next they're saying they will vote for Elissa.
• The real key is, for example, with Howard. He's been having all these really sweet heart-to-heart talks with Helen, Elissa, Candice ... they're lies!
• He goes right back and reports to Spencer!
• He certainly doesn't tell the girls of his talks with Spencer.
• So, that's the key right there.
• Jessie is wishy-washy and could go either way.
• I think Judd does have a soft spot for Elissa and just might vote to keep her.
• McCrae will probably vote with the MC, Amanda (not privy to the MC) might not. At one point, Amanda told McCrae he needs to vote Helen!
• Amanda tried to talk Jeremy into a Helen vote, as well.
• But then she tried to talk Howard into voting out Nick.
• Of course, Spencer and Howard have been on a Get Rid of Amanda kick the last few days. Her days in the house may be numbered right along with all the other women in the house.
• Hey, at least we don't have that pesky problem of unanimous votes so far this season!
• McCrae told Spencer that Andy and Judd are onto the MC.
• Not IN it, mind you. Onto it.
• Amanda told Nick she's voting for him to stay.
• He played her like a fiddle.
• Gah. There's so much possible waffling and lying going on that it's making my head hurt.
• MAKE THEM STOP!
• Right now.
• I want them to each take a turn privately talking to the live feeds so my head can stop hurting.
• Snap to it, hamsters!

Big Brother 15: July 10 PoV, MVP Show Blog Party

I hope you didn't go looking for the show last night! Remember, tomorrow's live eviction show is scheduled to begin at 9pm ET/PT. Well, PT isn't quite as live, I guess.

As the show airs here tonight, I'll update this post with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest. However, as always, the real party is in the comments area ... come join the fun! (But I do ask that things be kept on a PG-ish type level, thank you very much!)

Yup, Elissa got MVP again! It won't save her from the block, but she can put someone else up.

MVP nomination ... Jeremy!

Veto players: Elissa, Helen, Jeremy, Aaryn, Amanda, Nick, The host is GinaMarie.

Elissa told Nick she'd put him up in Jeremy's place if he doesn't throw the comp.

Time for the veto comp. Britney has a special message ... she's having a baby! They have to help her get her nursery together. They're wearing onesies. They have to each put together a giant mobile.

Jeremy wins. Sigh.

Time for the veto meeting. Jeremy takes himself off. MVP choice to replace him: Nick.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Tuesday Into the Night - 7/09-7/10

Howard-a-Day, bonus (?) McCrae

Yesterday, these hamsters bored me. That's not a good thing. It's the same repeated scheming over and over again. But, loyal feeds reporter I am, here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Goofus and Gallant:

• Judd told Andy and Spencer that he likes Nick better than he likes Elissa. But he thinks Nick is too shady to keep around when they have a chance to get him out.
• Actually, from what I've seen of Judd and Elissa together, he honestly seems to like her.
• Not in a lecherous sort of way, mind you.
• I just wish he'd move his lips when he talks. It would make the "mumble, mumble" better if I could add in lip-reading.
• Andy said that they'd be dumb not to keep Elissa.
• Of course, neither Andy nor Judd are a part of the Moving Company, nor do they have suspicions about it.
• It's Candice who's pretty much figured that out.
• Jeremy wondered if Helen would be upset if they called her H-bomb, thinking of Hiroshima.
• Um. Um. Wrong national origin in the first place, dude! I'm sure some exist by immigration, but I've never met a Japanese Korean.
• But, even more ... Helen is American. To me, one of the great things about America is that our ancestries span the globe. 
• Howard told Andy that Amanda's a nutcase and he doesn't trust her.
• That's part of the Spencer/Howard campaign against Amanda.
• I do think McCrae is letting Amanda bring whatever personal game he has down. That's basically Howard and Spencer's problem with Amanda.
• That said, as I mentioned before, Amanda has highs and lows for me in the game.
• Yesterday Amanda actually approached Aaryn warning her to cool it with the racist talk. While she fluffed it off a bit saying she knows Aaryn is just joking, she made her point. 
• Naturally, Aaryn thinks it's all much ado about nothing.  She ended up thinking that Amanda told her that there is a minorities alliance in the house.
• @@
• Kaitlin is now (too late!) worrying about her mother watching BB. "I'm with Jeremy and he has tattoos. She hates tattoos."
• I don't know. I think my own mother would have been more upset that I was jumping into bed with ANYONE on national television and the Internet after knowing the man two weeks.
• I'd be upset with myself.
• Wait. I wouldn't do it. Problem solved!
• The HoH camera came out. Aaryn posed a lot.
• Andy said that the MTV reality shows just pick people who do drugs and screw each other.
• Well, look at this BB cast, Andy!
• A good long discussion with Jeremy, Spencer and Nick went on and on about smoking pot and drinking with a bit of coke thrown in!
• Although I had my own personal wild days in my yute (ala Joe Pesci) and now, decades later, I feel okay mentioning them a bit, when I was young and doing stupid stuff ... I never broadcasted it! Sheesh! This declaration here is about as much broadcasting as you'll ever see me doing.
• It's called common sense.
• The statute of limitations is well over for me! :-)
• As for Andy's other part: BB is famous for folks hopping into bed with each other. Not my favorite part of the action, but it's there every season.
• Interesting -- When Amanda told Nick he gets called into the Diary Room more than anyone else, he told her he gets called because he's the "narrator" for the season. The BB voice told him to stop talking about DR sessions.
• I think he's right. Let's watch the show tonight and see how much Nick narrates.
• McCrae told his MC boys he has no problem with Amanda going.
• The MC think their votes are solid to keep Nick.
• Amanda, Andy and even Aaryn think there's something going on between Spencer and Jeremy.
• No, not a bromance.
• Aaryn went to Howard complaining about Candice being the root of Amanda's racist discussion with her.
• "I'm not a racist."
• If the shoe fits, wear it, girl.
• I said that, not Howard.
• Howard, more diplomatic than I am, told her they were good and he knows she's not a racist.
• We all do know that Howard isn't against lying in the house.
• Helen thinks that Spencer needs to be backdoored. 
• McCrae lied to Amanda when she questioned him about there being a boys alliance in the house.
• Somehow, the Have Nots are being allowed to sleep in beds.
• They just have to decide which beds.
• Candice went to bed early and went to the Have Not room.
• Elissa worked on Jessie for the vote. Jessie told her that she's scared.
• As it stands, Elissa does have a solid group wanting her to stay, but then comes in the Moving Company. While, technically they're only four votes (Nick can't vote as he's nominated), Jeremy has been going around intimidating people.
• Unfortunately, though I'd rather she stay and I actually have very little against Nick other than the company he keeps ... I think it will probably be Elissa going.
• I'd rather it be Jeremy, Kaitlin, Aaryn or Jessie on the block. 

May the good times roll

So, it's the wee hours of the night. Of course some of the hamsters are still running in their wheels. Usually that will get them nowhere quickly. What's been happening in that Big Brother of Going to Hell in a Handbasket? Read on ...

• Jeremy told Kaitlin and Aaryn that, once Elissa's gone, they should be winning MVP ... or Howard might.
• Now, I think Howard might have a chance. Aaryn or Kaitlin? BWahahaha!
• Jeremy also told Aaryn he'll be winning all the comps and MVP because "America loves a showmance powerhouse."
• Possibly, but not when it's Jeremy, I don't think!
• Nick pinky-sweared with GinaMarie again, telling her he's not playing her.
• Ha! He's playing everyone! I honestly don't think Nick is loyal to anyone unless they can be used for his gain. If he were a bit better at it, he could be a real player in the house.
• But his lies have caught up with him a bit.
• Not that he'll go home this week, mind you.
• Candice and Helen are working on Jessie to bring her around to their side.
• It might not work -- they're not male.
• But Jessie so desperately needs friends that it's possible she'll make the jump.
• Aaryn is still bothered with the thought that her alliance, Jeremy and Kaitlin, can't be trusted.
• Andy told Amanda that Nick is targeting Candice.
• Amanda told McCrae she'll go along with his decision in the vote.
• Gah. I thought she was an independent thinker!
• Andy is worried about Spencer and Howard.
• He probably should be. Spencer and Howard are always scheming.
• Amanda confirmed with Aaryn that she will vote Elissa out because she's in an alliance with McCrae and that's what he wants.
• Kaitlin told Elissa that she's not really dating Jeremy because he's too immature.
• Really, now. Why is she having sex with him in front of the world?
• Howard thinks Amanda is onto an alliance of the guys.
• He apparently doesn't know that Candice and Elissa suspected it long ago.
• The guys are on board for an Elissa ouster as of now. 
• Spencer continued his anti-Amanda talking. You can bet he'd go for her eviction if he ever were to win anything.
• Nick and Spencer talked about how faithful they are to the Moving Company, yet McCrae lets Amanda influence him.
• Candice is upset because when she asked Aaryn her middle name, she said, "Shaniqua." 
• Howard tried to soothe her ruffled feathers.
• Meanwhile, Amanda was saying she gets upset when someone (I'd say JEREMY) use the expression "Jew'd" to imply cheated.
• Howard talked about Aaryn's previous conversation about the fish being segregated by black and white.
• Candice, Amanda and Howard are right. I say it's called hate speech for a reason. But, in this case within the house, a lot of it is hurt speech. It hurts the others around the person saying it. It hurts deeper than Aaryn or Jeremy will ever know. In the long run, it will hurt them themselves.
• Nick told Aaryn he can't really get a handle on Spencer.
• Nick lies.
• Aaryn told him that Jeremy has a deal with Spencer.
• Well, duh. So does Nick!
• Alas, it still looks like Elissa will go.

Rub-a-dub-dub, extensions in the tub

Likes the white fish best

Play, Helen, play!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday daytime, PoV Meeting - 7/08

On the block

Today's big news from inside the house is that the Power of Veto meeting was held. Jeremy, of course, used the veto to save himself. Elissa went through with putting Nick up in his place. I personally think she just might have sealed her own fate with that choice. Now, I'm privy to alliances she's not, but I can't see him getting voted out by house majority. I also think people will tend to keep Helen over Elissa -- she's better liked.

Here's the skinny on what else happened today inside that Big Brother House of Grade School Bullies:

• McCrae told Amanda she's the only one he trusts.
• Yet he hasn't told her about the Moving Company.
• Last night the MC dudes were going on about their alliance being better than the Brigade.
• @@
• Amanda really wants Elissa to stay. McCrae won't commit.
• Amanda told Nick she refuses to be bullied by Jeremy.
• Amanda runs hot and cold for me as a feeds watcher. There are times I really like her, other times she makes me cringe.
• But Aaryn, Kaitlin and Jessie make me cringe all the time.
• She's really, really pushing the keep Elissa bit with: "She's like the queen in chess, we control her moves." and "If Elissa goes, Jeremy will have all the power in the house."
• Judd says he's good with Elissa staying. He gets along well with her, but they don't talk game that much.
• Well, maybe he mumbles game with her and I'm just not catching it.
• Amanda told Judd that Jeremy is lying when he tells Judd his name is being tossed around for nomination.
• Jeremy is lying. It's part of his entire bullying bit.
• Judd said Howard is shady; McCrae agrees. Amanda thinks Howard is on the level.
• I love me my Howard eye-candy and, while he's not a mean person or a bad person, he is indeed a bit shady. He's playing the game. That I totally understand.
• But Howard does pray before every meal!
• Amanda and McCrae made out under the blankets. Sigh.
• Helen did her morning workout with yard laps and hand weights.
• Howard watched her. He can bench press her, but can't keep up with her routine.
• Then the PoV meeting went down.
• Spencer warned McCrae that Amanda is becoming a target and he (McCrae), by extension will be one too if they don't cool it a bit.
• McCrae pretty much admitted to Jeremy that he can't control Amanda.
• Good for Amanda.
• But bad for Amanda because it makes her a bigger target.
• Andy hasn't been called to the Diary Room for two days. He wonders if he has to start a fight or something to get called in.
• Meanwhile, Jeremy used a derogatory slur for homosexuals and got called in the Diary Room almost immediately.
• It's going to be a long three days before the eviction.

Big Brother 15: Julie Chen addresses Aaryn's racism on The Talk

Other than the fact that Helen is Korean, not Chinese, Julie calls it right. It's a shame that the others involved in the slurs aren't mentioned. Aaryn is the worst, but far from the only one.

Big Brother 15: Sunday Night Into Monday Pre-dawn - 7/07-7/08

So pretty, so ugly

As I get this posted, most are still up. Now, I know today BB isn't going to let them sleep in. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Foolish Follies:

• GinaMarie talked about her nose job.
• Andy told Nick the house wants Elissa out.
• No surprise there.
• GinaMarie hates slackers and fat people. Um. Okay.
• Aaryn fussed about Kaitlin and Jeremy always making out.
• Huh. For once I agree with Aaryn about something! The Jeremy/Kaitlin bit is just over the top!
• Aaryn pondered the thought of getting Kaitlin out of the house.
• She told GinaMarie that Kaitlin was bullying people to vote Elissa out.
• Um. No. That was more Jeremy.
• Jessie thinks Amanda has a lot of money -- she must because she's Jewish.
• @@
• Judd asked Aaryn what she thought about putting Kaitlin up.
• Aaryn turned that around to asking Judd what he thinks about her putting Nick on the block.
• Aaryn told Nick and GinaMarie that she thinks Kaitlin is ruining their chances (her alliance) of winning MVP by bullying others.
• Nope, that's not exactly why, Aaryn!
• Amanda went around wearing band-aids on her nipples.
• I didn't really need to see that.
• The BB voice told Amanda to clip her mic to her shirt, then ZING.
• Jeremy and Kaitlin went beyond making out. Great, now they've had sex on the internet. 
• Candice told Helen and Elissa that Howard is getting too close to Spencer.
• A little late to worry about that, I say.
• Howard convinced Elissa that they would have enough votes to vote Nick out if she were to put him up.
• That's not true. It would probably be curtains for Elissa.
• Helen and Candice said Jeremy is like Evel Dick. Elissa said he isn't. She said Dick was clever.
• And Jeremy not so much.
• Nick asked Elissa if she wanted to make a deal to keep him off the block.
• Elissa told him she was going to do what the house wants.
• Little does she know, but half the house is lying to her.
• GinaMarie cried when Nick told her he was probably going to be the replacement nominee.
• Nick told her that they'll just charm the others into submission and he'll stay.
• Of course, the Moving Company might have a little to do with the result.
• But GinaMarie doesn't know that.
• Aaryn thinks if Elissa goes, she might get MVP.
• Keep dreaming, Aaryn 

Mumble, mumble

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Sunday Evening - 7/07

Sleeping in on quad cam

Sundays are generally rather boring in the house. The hamsters are in limbo -- the nominations and PoV have already played out and the PoV ceremony probably won't be until tomorrow.

Here's what's gone down today inside that Big Brother House of Hateful Hussies and Despicable Dudes:

• They slept in past 10:30 their time.
• That's past 1:30 where I live. 
• Of course, most were up past 4am (their time). Nick and Judd were up well past 6am.
• So, 10:30ish isn't a really long night's sleep for the hamsters.
• Andy thinks they should keep Elissa because America obviously likes her.
• Helen thinks they should keep Elissa, backdoor Nick.
• Alas, Spencer was in on the conversation.
• Helen and Andy are unaware of the Moving Company.
• Nick is a part of that alliance, so I don't see a Nick backdoor plan going well.
• Spencer said that he's worried about a McCrae/Amanda flip to the other side. He also said that Amanda is close to Elissa.
• Elissa told Judd she's going to put up Nick.
• Uh-oh.
• I hope this doesn't backfire and get Helen out of the house!
• Although I think Elissa is coming across as one of the nicer, more normal people in the house, I'd rather see Helen given a chance to keep playing the game as she didn't get there due to connections to the show.
• Judd said, "Mumble, mumble."
• Elissa told Helen that she thinks Nick is related to Dan.
• I actually thought that Nick wanted to emulate Dan's game when he started.
• But he's messed that up.
• Spencer keeps pushing for an Amanda nom.
• Helen keeps saying that Nick might be related to Dan.
• And on it goes.
• Aaryn told Andy that she thinks Spencer's word is good.
• Yeah, right. Bigoted and gullible, that's Aaryn!
• They played with the photo booth.
• They played pool.
• They played in the pool.
• They laid out in the sun.
• Kaitlin and Jeremy made out.
• Kaitlin hung all over Jeremy.
• Gah. 
• Amanda said she's a botox junkie. Well, Dr. Will might like that.
• The highlight of the evening so far was Andy scaring Jessie awake with Aaryn's clown doll and using a scary voice.
• Ho-hum
• I still can't tell exactly what Elissa will do for a replacement tomorrow. I fear she might put up Nick.
• Knowing what we know, the bells will probably toll for her or Helen for sure if she does that.
