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.

Big Brother 15: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - 7/03

Ah, they're going to show part of the brouhaha over the wine. Showing the showmances and the idea of keeping Elissa to "weaponize" her with the power of the MVP nom each week.

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.

The vote:
Amanda - David
Aaryn - Elissa

Spencer - David
Kaitlin - Elissa

More after commercial ...

Helen - David
Howard - David
GinaMarie - Elissa
Judd - David
Jeremy - Elissa
Andy - David

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.

Packing the HoH room

Howard a day screen cap

Ouchies!
