Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Wednesday into the evening - July 17

What a rebel!

Why is Jessie a rebel? After she got quite a bit of sleep in the backyard, BB finally reminded her that sleeping is only allowed in the bedrooms. Sleeping on those airplane seats in the Have Not room just isn't all that relaxing.

Here are today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Rabid Rodents:

• Spencer put more pressure on McCrae wondering about his choice for nomination since McCrae lied and said he himself was the MVP.
• Judd thinks he might have succeeded in getting GinaMarie to throw HoH tomorrow.
• That said, tomorrow's HoH isn't anything they can either throw or not throw. Online we had to vote who'd be most likely voted as different "royalty." 
• I personally thought it was poorly put together.
• Judd and McCrae think it's disgusting that Howard uses his religion as part of the game.
• Amanda added in his religion AND race.
• Amanda thinks Howard tried to make Aaryn look like a racist when she flipped Candice's mattress.
• Um, that wasn't what's caused the racial issues with Aaryn, Amanda.
• Amanda wants either Howard or Spencer out next week.
• Hmm.
• Judd advised GinaMarie to vote with the house (Jeremy) so she won't be on the outs with people.
• Jeremy is still trying to squirm, worm and deal his way out of eviction.
• That ain't happening, Ego Lad.
• Spencer actually ran laps around the yard today. His trampoline experience must have scared him into it.
• Andy thinks Kaitlin will win the next MVP because girls who win their showmance always get sympathy.
• Um, no.
• I don't think Kaitlin stands a chance at it.
• Kaitlin tried to work on GinaMarie to keep Jeremy by saying they won't last long in the house with Aaryn there.
• Heck, Jeremy would boot them both to save his own butt.
• Andy tripped over a loose board on the bathroom floor. When Aaryn said the house is a hazard, I thought, "in more ways than one."
• Judd and McCrae are worried about Jessie and Spencer getting too close. 
• She needs a buddy, y'know! And Spencer's more than willing to use her.
• Silly needy girl.
• Kaitlin tried to convince McCrae to vote out Aaryn instead of Jeremy.
• Silly desperate girl.
• I still think it's bye-bye Jeremy without a doubt.

Howard-a-Day

Finger miraculously healed, eh?

"This house is a hazard."

Big Brother 15: MVP Nomination, PoV Show Blog Party - 7/17

Ready to party? It's the MVP and PoV show blog party! 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 news. I'd like to thank the blog readers, Shannon in particular, for helping with the updates for the last episode!

As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun! Swimming suits optional, beverages a must!

Elissa got the MVP again. What a shocker!

The plan is to backdoor Jeremy. They want to put up either Spencer or Howard as MVP. McCrae and Amanda want Elissa to do the dirty work and put up Howard while she wants to go for Spencer.

PoV Players and MVO nomination -- Nominated - Spencer. Players - GinaMarie, Candice. Backdoor in motion! Judd is the host.

Veto comp time! Hmm ... works of art in the yard. They each bounce on a trampoline to see artworks "next door." Then they have to copy the wall in their own home. Famous paintings with hamster heads. This is a timed comp.

Candice - 8.46
GM - 8.56
Spencer - 12.19
Aaryn - 9.50
Kaitlin - 7.09
Helen - 8.55

Kaitlin wins PoV! But will she use it? She knows the backdoor Jeremy plan and Amanda told her that she would go home instead of Aaryn if she doesn't save herself.

PoV Ceremony time -- Kaitlin does indeed save herself. Helen does indeed put Jeremy on the block. 

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning - July 17

Thankfully this will end soon

Unlike last week's vote, this week should be fairly clear-cut. Jeremy, the self-proclaimed best BB player ever, will be going out the door. I realize you're all heartbroken. You may take a moment to compose yourselves before going on.

Okay, moment over. Here are the happenings from the late night hours inside that Big Brother House of Boisterous Buffoons:

• BB has a new reminder announcement - "Elissa, please respect your microphone."
• Well, that's different!
• Jeremy is trying to wheel and deal to stay in the house. He's willing to throw his alliance under the bus. Heck, he's willing to drive the bus right on over them!
• Aaryn too is working to keep him in the house. Oh, not to get herself voted out, for sure. But she'd rather Spencer go.
• Aaryn and Kaitlin made a point of eating food in front of the Have Nots.
• Stupid cruel Mean Girls!
• McCrae has been feeling sick. Could it be the slop?
• Although GinaMarie is still pining for her lost love, the others still discussed the possibility that Nick is gay.
• In talking with Jeremy, Helen was foolish enough to list her fellow Knockout alliance members as those she wants protected.
• Now Jeremy, thus Kaitlin and Aaryn, know the alliance.
• McCrae went on about how broke he is. Perhaps his career choice of pizza delivery guy might need to change?
• They all played an impromptu volleyball game with a beach ball and no net.
• They said that Helen had to re-do the line announcing it was time for the nominations ceremony because she seemed too happy when she first did it.
• Oh yes, it's a solemn occasion indeed.
• They talked about putting on a little BB News/Talk show.
• Apparently they don't recall that's been done before.
• I remember.
• Helen thinks the house wants Howard out.
• They do. He's lied and not covered or stuck with the lies much too much. Only Dr. Will can get away with that and only because he told everyone he'll always lie.
• Judd thinks GinaMarie should go before jury because she'd be a bitter jury member.
• Y'think?
• Aaryn thinks the definition of a homophobe is someone who hates men.
• @@
• Kaitlin thinks she's asexual. Well, gee, you can tell by how she's all over Jeremy.
• @@
• They talked about the book 1984 and Big Brother. Judd hadn't read the book and said he reads about a book a year.
• Oh my.
• Judd said he'd be willing to vote GinaMarie out, but couldn't put her up if he was HoH. He said he's already lied to her too much and feels bad about it. But if someone else were to put her up, he'd definitely vote to get rid of her.
• McCrae and Amanda made out. Argh.
• All are still asleep as I get this posted.

Talking Knockout

Let's see how long this lasts outside

Howard-a-Day

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Tuesday Into Early Evening - July 16

What? Me worry?

Now, today was a day I could have been away and not missed a heck of a lot. Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers ... er ... Hamsters:

• Helen is almost scary with her daily exercise routine. I would definitely be dead if I were to do that.
• Jessie said her shoulders are both hurting a lot; she has trouble rotating her arms.
• "It hurts when I do that."
• "Don't do that!"
• Okay, you can tell I bored with these hamsters today!
• Judd is working on Aaryn. He told her he doesn't think she'll go this week and that he'll tell people that he doesn't think she's a big threat for a while.
• I don't think she's a big threat now, either.
• Once her little group is broken up, she actually stands a chance to get towards the end of the game as she's one you know won't win the popularity contest at the end.
• She's not great at comps unless she's with Jeremy for the win.
• Judd and Jessie decided that Kaitlin is a much bigger threat in comps.
• Jessie and Judd made a final two pact. They think they'll call themselves 2013 Bonnie and Clyde.
• Um.
• Well.
• To win, they really need a better name!
• Howard will the minister for Nick's "funeral." It won't be held until Friday as GinaMarie is still so upset about his exit.
• Did you know GinaMarie really liked that kid? A shame he died, isn't it?
• Jeremy is very full of himself and how great he's playing the game.
• Cough.
• But you knew that anyway.
• Elissa plans on trying to say her goodbye message to Jeremy in German.
• The Andy, Judd, Elissa, McCrae, Amanda and Helen alliance now has a name -- The Knockouts.
• Jessie is not a part of the alliance, but Amanda mentioned that they would protect her until jury.
• Well, she didn't mention that to Jessie, but ...!
• GinaMarie, Aaryn and Kaitlin think they have a chance if they stick together.
• Bwahahahaha!
• Aaryn tried to plea with McCrae to keep both her and Jeremy.
• Bwahahahaha! Like that's gonna happen!
• That's about it.
• Yawn.

Her shoulder needs kneading

I vote Judd for best player!

Howard-a-Day

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Tuesday, July 16

Will she get MVP next week?

Oh geez ... I don't think I can ever go away for a weekend again during the summer! It's much too much to catch up on! For those wondering where I was, it was a landmark high school class reunion and cousins reunion weekend away -- I hadn't seen any of those folks for many, many years. It was fun. And, now I'm back.

I want to thank everyone for being so fantastic while I was gone! A special shout-out to Shannon who pretty much transcribed Sunday's show blow by blow on the show post. Y'all rock!

Onto the happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Ill Repute:

• I must regress a bit just to remind myself of what's happened since Friday night, if nothing else.
• Okay, so Helen nominated Kaitlin and Aaryn. Too bad, so sad. Ha!
• The MVP (Elissa, influenced by others) nomination was Spencer.
• Kaitlin won the PoV and took herself off.
• Helen put Jeremy (the target this week) on the block in Kaitlin's place.
• I think that's all it.
• Oh! And the Have-Nots are McCrae, Amanda, Jessie and Judd.
• Poor Judd. If I'm remembering right, he's been a Have Not every week!
• Aaryn really seems to be trying to fit in more with the majority of the house. I think she's realized that she's pretty much alone in many ways -- Kaitlin and Jeremy are probably going to be broken up this week with Jeremy's eviction and Kaitlin is a sinking ship.
• Alas, Aaryn's words still resonate. If she turned an angel in the house at this point, she'd still be on the outs due to her mouth.
• Kaitlin still has the hate on Candice, but it's not important because she is indeed a sinking ship.
• Amanda, Judd and McCrae formed their own little alliance.
• They decided it would be the Goof Troup and invited Andy in.
• Amanda decided to take all of GinaMarie's Nick stuff and scatter it amongst everyone so she would freak.
• GinaMarie freaked. They all pointed to Aaryn.
• But Amanda did 'fess up.
• All in fun and all that.
• Judd and McCrae are a bit upset that they kept Elissa safe for two weeks and she made her own mind up about the MVP nomination.
• I think they're worried about all the guys going one by one.
• Amanda agrees with them that Elissa should probably go sooner rather than later.
• Helen, who's really trying to include everyone, held a nail party.
• Jeremy attended with the girls. He and Andy went for the food.
• Amanda advised Aaryn not to call people like Judd "shady."
• Aaryn went to Judd and told him she's only joking when she calls him shady.
• Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. She's only joking with her racist comments too. What a jokester!
• Spencer thinks McCrae just said he was MVP and that it's really Elissa.
• Spencer's right. What's he gonna do about it? Neener neener!
• Ahem.
• Helen told Aaryn she always forgives people, even her (Aaryn).
• Okay. I'd probably ignore such a jerk forever, but that's just me and I'm not stuck in a house with her.
• GinaMarie told people she doesn't live in the city, she lives in a house.
• Um, I believe she really means she lives in Staten Island, not Manhattan. Staten Island is more like a suburb that a city, per se.
• Thankfully, not everybody in this area (Greater NYC Metro) puts on that fake hip-hop gangsta boy chick persona.
• Judd said that GinaMarie sleeps with Nick's Chapstick.
• Oh, I could say some raunchy stuff, but I won't!
• Candice and Howard told GinaMarie they'll have a memorial service for Nick so GinaMarie can go on with her life.
• Amanda asked GinaMarie if she realizes that Nick really isn't dead.
• They're all in bed as I get this posted.

I will be regularly posting now that I got my trip out of the way and caught up some on the live feeds. I felt SO lost when I started to delve into what happened while I was gone. But I'm back now and we'll go forward. Thank you for your patience! And a huge thank you to those who have donated via the Paypal link!

It's really appreciated, especially since I got home to find my power apparently went out on Saturday and I lost all the food in my refrigerator and freezer once again (Sandy killed my refrigerated/frozen goods last fall). The huge circuit breaker thing by my electric meter was flipped off either due to a local outage at one point (there was one Saturday) or vandalism. Grr. But I'm going out today to get a few things and I have a grocery delivery set for tomorrow.    

No, we won't call her Cappy

"Mumble, mumble."

I miss Ian's hammock rocking!

She actually took off Nick's cap!

Big Brother 15: Nominations and Food Comp Show Blog Party - July 14

I will be without internet access until really late Sunday night/Monday morning. However, that can't stop this party! I won't be able to update this post, but the comments area should have the happenings.

Be wary of ANY hyperlinks. I'm taking off the word verification, so there will probably be some spam -- do NOT reply to the spam comments, please! I'll be going through cleaning it all up sometime Monday.

Have fun!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Updates Saturday/Sunday July 13-14

I will be without internet access until really late Sunday night/Monday morning. If you have live feeds, please feel free to put updates in the comments section of this post. Please don't post speculation ... only things you've seen on the feeds! Also, be wary of ANY hyperlinks. I'm taking off the word verification, so there will probably be some spam -- do NOT reply to the spam comments, please! I'll be going through cleaning it all up sometime Monday.

I'll also have a show blog party post scheduled for 8pm ET on Sunday.

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! :-)

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!

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 --
# of BB cola cans delivered --
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!

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.
