Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Friday Afternoon 6/28

Yard time today

If you're reading this, entry for the blog pool is closed. This season has the biggest pool ever! Woohoo! ORKMommy will be making the random picks and I'll announce the match-ups before the Sunday episode.

What's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Many Mean Girls and Their Mimbos since I last posted? Read on ...

• Andy told Judd that he's worried if they get rid of Elissa this week, Jeremy might target them (Andy, Judd) next.
• Of course, technically, Elissa isn't on the block.
• McCrae nominated Candice and Jessie. Elissa (although denying it to most of the house) was voted MVP and nominated David. McCrae won Veto. He told Elissa he was going to put her up, but said she's not the target.
• The original plan was to backdoor Elissa all along.
• Who knows? These are silly hamster games!
• Helen doesn't really drink, but claims she will drink in the house.
• I probably would, too.
• Andy is getting emotional. Didn't he say he wouldn't?
• Jeremy thinks if David stays, he'd target Amanda or Candice.
• Amanda has latched onto Pizza Boy McCrae.
• Would that happen in real life? Ha.
• Aaryn and Elissa kissed (not literally) and made up after their fight from last night. It was all over Elissa rumored (true!) to be the MVP who nominated Aaryn's shiny showmance boy David.
• Jeremy went around talking how he'd "go off" if he got nominated.
• I want him to be nominated now! Don't you?
• Helen is quite the social player. She seems to know what to say to each hamster to make them feel better. Hmm.
• David is worried that he might get evicted and tried to get McCrae to tell him.
• McCrae honestly told him he didn't really know. He doesn't plan on taking him off the block, but doesn't think he's a real target right now.
• McCrae wants Elissa to go. He thinks that she's likely to be too popular with "America" and would keep winning MVP.
• McCrae plans on taking Candice down, putting up Elissa. We'll see.
• They finally got outside today after being on indoor lockdown for more than two days.
• There's a photo booth now! You know the kind ... a strip of four pictures. An announcer's countdown voice and all.
• At least it's something for them to do!
• I'm not sure when the PoV meeting will be held, but when I find out, you'll find out!

Pretty, I'm so pretty ...

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Report Thursday Into the Night 6/28 -PoV

She does look too much like her sister!

If she didn't look SO much like Rachel, Elissa might have a chance in the house. She doesn't come across as abrasive and, obviously, there isn't the tension of a Brendon in the house for her. She did light into Jeremy for calling her out about the MVP thing, then accused him of being a woman abuser. I don't know. They BOTH came off as jerks in that one.

Anyway ... here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Happy Shiny Hamsters:

• McCrae, David, Candice, Jessie, Elissa and Howard were the veto players. GinaMarie was the host.
• The comp, blocked to the live feeds, seemed to be some sort of spelling bee with honey. McCrae, true to his life's work, spelled out "delivery."
• Elissa came up with "pot roast" but quickly found out that it's two words, not one.
• D'oh!
• McCrae came up the winner of this one.
• So, we still have David (MVP nominee) and Candice/Jessie on the block ... for now.
• Kaitlin was all over Jeremy.
• Jeremy is definitely a player. Amanda warned Jessie (another of Jeremy's playtoys) about it.
• Jessie says she knows.
• I feel like I'm back in high school with this bunch.
• Maybe junior high!
• Some of the girls took a bubble bath in the HoH tub to coincide with the BBAD show.
• Although they mention the feeds, it doesn't seem to have sunk in that it's not all about BBAD!
• Elissa told Helen that McCrae plans to use the veto and she (Elissa) will be put up in the place of a nominee. He didn't say who would come down.
• McCrae has Elissa believing she's not the target.
• He's of the mind that it's what the house wants -- if they all vote out Elissa as they wanted, fine. If they want out someone else (David?), also fine. 
• He thinks whatever the outcome, he comes out clean.
• We'll see.

With the new season on, I'm not sure when the PoV meeting will be held. But it does seem McCrae will stick to the initial plan of at least setting up for the backdoor exit of Elissa.

I personally wouldn't mind David going home, either. The Aaryn/David coupling is way too much too soon. She actually irks me more than he does. I think she's a pretty girl, but she's a know-it-all who really doesn't know as much as she thinks. One thing she's right about, though -- her coupling with David has put a target on both of them!

For those folks wanting to get into the pool, you need to add your name in comments at the SIGN-UP POST. The cut-off for joining is 6pm ET TODAY (Friday).

Already others don't really trust him

Cowgirl at heart

The pretty people

Even dressed alike!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Brief - Not PoV Yet, MVP Nom instead

Stuck in the middle with you ...

Okay, the feeds returned to a quasi-brouhaha. Apparently they had the PoV players picked (Elissa is playing) and some kind of issues about the seating arrangement for the meeting. @@

Elissa is mad at McCrae because he told her he told Amanda that she was MVP. Elissa is mad at Amanda because she knows she is MVP.
Elissa denies being MVP to all.
All suspect or know she is.

The mysterious MVP (cough::Elissa::cough) nominated Dave.  So, currently on the block -- Jessie, Candice and Dave.

They're still on indoor lockdown with the PoV being built in the backyard.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Quickie Report - MVP

Have Not beds

Sigh, silly America voted for Elissa to be MVP! Gah. She told McCrae, but no one else that I caught. The other girls are freaking out, but they were freaking out well before she actually got word about it. Of course, this might throw a wrench into the plan to backdoor the wench, er ... Elissa. My apologies. It just came out!

They want her out mostly because she's Rachel's sister. I haven't really seen enough of her on the feeds to judge her on her own merits yet.

Right now the feeds are blocked with trivia playing -- either for the PoV or the MVP, don't know which.

Although they haven't made it clear:

• It seems the MVP can be nominated as it's (supposedly) a secret.
• The PoV probably works the same for the MVP as anyone else -- they can take themselves off if nominated, another off if they wish.
• The MVP has no real power to stay in the game. They can be voted out like anyone else other than the HoH and PoV winners.

That said, McCrae is in a sticky spot. He knows she has it and, it would come off as really evil to backdoor her if she doesn't win PoV.

Laters, hamster watchers!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds First Night

Yes, it's Big Brother in all its live feeds glory! Before I get into the happenings, I want to mention a bit about the feeds themselves. In previous years, except for the first season, they've been hosted by real.com. Now they're hosted on the CBS website. I see pros. I see cons.

The player itself is better for me. However, there are glitches galore. When starting the feeds up for the first time, it was hard to get anything other than a black screen. Digging around the Internet, I found the fix -- going into the flashback calendar, then going live. Who woulda thunk it? Then there's been an ongoing problem with only one set of mics going for all four screens. Sure, they do the two cams on one room bit. But then I should be able to hear what they're saying in each room! At one point my feeds stopped and a replay button came up. Hitting it would get two seconds of feeds. I had to exit and start again.

I also checked out Big Brother After Dark for the first time as I have TVGN, but never had Showtime. I ended up turning it off because it was on a slight delay and conflicted with my feeds. Yes, the language seems censored on it. However, the feeds themselves are in line with previous seasons. Well, except for the glitches.

They've been in the house for six days already (blocked to us), so they've already had nominations and the Have/Have Not comp. Here's what's been going on:

• The house is already a pig sty.
• Jessie and Candice are on the block.
• Supposedly as pawns because McCrae told them he plans on backdooring Elissa.
• The Have Nots sleep in airplane chairs in the Airplane Room. They think the words on the wall might have to do with how to recline the chairs.
• Have Nots are: Andy, Helen, Howard, Elissa and Judd.
• They decided to put on a "fashion show" or pageant thing for the first night of BBAD and the feeds.
• Um. Okay.
• Helen won it. Woo.
• That pageant is what most of the wacky screencaps on here are from.
• The girls are all catty already!
• Jealousy abounds. That's what you get with all the kids in the house.
• Aaryn is unduly worried about being nominated and evicted when the MVP comes into action.
• If she keeps it up, she should be worried. She's very annoying about it.
• I'm actually liking GinaMarie a bit more than I thought I would.
• Maybe because so many of the other girls are acting like high school kids.
• Aaryn also made a big fuss because so many in the house don't understand how PoV works.
• While she has a point, it's definitely not a good move to keep harping about it.
• Aaryn is also sure that Elissa will be MVP due to Rachel's fan base.
• I think she's wrong.
• Candice and Jessie (nominees) had a slight misunderstanding, but made up and are still friends. BFFs, even.
• Apparently, before the feeds went live, Elissa got into two fights with people.
• I can't really say as I haven't seen a lot of her on the feeds tonight and what I've seen has actually been better than the catty jealous little girls.
• Mind you, I do NOT want to like Elissa.
• McCrae isn't all that much in favor with his nominees. They think he's weak and couldn't even look them in the eyes during the nominations.
• Aaryn also complained that one of the women had a fishy smell and needed something for it. You can take that one from there. I'd rather not go there.
• Andy and McCrae are tight, but not in a gay kind of way.
• Jessie and Candice think Amanda is super stuck-up.
• They're on an indoor lockdown, apparently for the second night in a row.
• The PoV is supposed to be tomorrow, er ... today. Thursday.
• They took the airplane out of McCrae's HoH room, supposedly because he played with it.
• The plan seems pretty solid to backdoor Elissa.
• Of course, they should know that you can never depend on plans in the house!
• Several are still up as I get this posted.
