Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Friday Night into Saturday - 7/19-20

The tides shift again

Another long and late night for the hamsters. They are indeed nocturnal little rodents! Here's the overnight happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Rambunctious Rodents:
  • Ew. Amanda and McCrae used the HoH bed and Judd's new HoH gift blanket to either do the deed or, at the very least, have a strong make-out session. Ew.
  • Judd is too nice to everyone. They're just going up there, eating all his food and using his room for whatever. 
  • I'd lock the door.
  • Elissa is still worried about possibly not having the MVP this week. That's been her only game strategy outside of being friends with Helen.
  • Spencer and Candice are already worried about what's happening in the real world as they've been out of it for about a month. Spencer saw a black band on an EMT who checked his blood pressure and wonders if there's been a disaster. Of course, that could have been something very local to that area, but Spencer doesn't know.
  • Aaryn is upset that Elissa has forgiven Kaitlin for her misdeeds and yet holds a grudge against her (Aaryn).
  • After all, Aaryn is obviously such a lovable little pretty gal!
  • Aaryn thinks the "unexpected" twist is that America will vote the MVP.
  • Ding, ding! We have a winner!
  • Howard confronted McCrae about his lie about being MVP last week. Amanda told Howard it was because the entire house wanted him (Howard) gone last week.
  • Howard now wants in on the Amanda/McCrae duo alliance.
  • There are so many alliances going on that it's really confusing at this point!
  • When Aaryn asked Amanda if she thought Elissa got the MVP again, Amanda lied and said she thought so.
  • Aaryn thinks Amanda is lying.
  • Kaitlin thinks that Elissa probably has a different contract with BB and is only in the house for a limited number of weeks.
  • Well, if she gets voted out, it's limited! I personally wouldn't doubt that BB sweetened the money pot to get her aboard as they think it's automatic ratings, but I'm pretty sure she's there until she's not there.
  • Amanda is getting scared that she will be the MVP nomination.
  • She probably should worry although her Diary Room sessions on the show might endear her to the television show only general public.
  • I think Amanda and McCrae are both destroying what could be great strategic gameplay with their showmance.
  • GinaMarie and Kaitlin keep harping on Aaryn's negativity bringing down the house.
  • Spencer, Judd, Howard, GinaMarie and Kaitlin now want to work together.
  • This week's target is now on Aaryn.
  • But the MVP nomination and PoV have yet to happen.
  • We'll see.
  • If Aaryn does go this week, it will be a very interesting conversation with Julie Chen!

Not the target

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Friday Evening, Nominations - July 19

Poufy

GinaMarie would never be able to fit Nick's ball cap (which is really McCrae's ball cap) atop that mountain! Here's what's happened tonight inside that Big Brother House of Krazy Kats:
  • The Have Not comp seems to have been the blended food icky one.
  • Poor hamsters.
  • Judd changed his mind again on his noms and he's back to Kaitlin and Aaryn, possibly GinaMarie.
  • Aaryn thinks it's like high school and they're the outcast nerds.
  • GinaMarie thinks it's because they're the pretty ones (and everybody else must be jealous).
  • They also complained that the three hottest boys were gone.
  • @@
  • Dang, it MUST be high school!
  • GinaMarie did correct herself and said all the girls in the house are pretty.
  • Too bad we couldn't say that of the guys, including the ones she thought are hot.
  • The feeds were blocked for nominations and Judd finally made up his mind.
  • Kaitlin and Aaryn are on the block.
  • So, all the votes we voted for Aaryn were for naught. 
  • Judd told Spencer he doesn't really want Kaitlin out just yet.
  • Aaryn cried and once again said people always twist around what she says.
  • Keep telling yourself that, Aaryn.
  • Elissa is getting antsy about the MVP. She told Judd to tell her if he gets it.
  • They still don't get it.
  • Amanda is worried that Judd won't backdoor Howard.
  • If she really, really wants Howard gone that bad, maybe she should have won HoH herself.
  • GinaMarie fussed about missing Nick again. 
  • The nominations went down when the planned "funeral" was supposed to take place, so I'm not sure what will happen with that.
  • They think the twist might be that the HoH can decide whether to keep the MVP or not.
  • Wrong!
  • Candice told Howard about Howie's jackshack.
  • Heehee.
  • Nothing else much going on!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds, Have Nots, Friday daytime - July 19

A smelly comp, messy too?

Here's the happenings so far inside that Big Brother House of No Jeremy:
  • Amanda told the guys there's no girls alliance.
  • Doesn't she think they can tell? 
  • Judd told Spencer he's safe this week. Not a huge surprise.
  • Amanda is still harping on getting rid of Howard this week.
  • Of course, last week Howard was harping about getting rid of Amanda.
  • Judd is worried about too many guys leaving -- all three evictions have been male.
  • Judd also doesn't want Aaryn to go this week. McCrae tried to tell him that Aaryn is working with Kaitlin.
  • Judd told his alliance he thinks he'll probably put up GinaMarie and Kaitlin.
  • Um. Okay. America will probably raise him an Aaryn.
  • They tend to think Kaitlin more dangerous than Aaryn. Aaryn causes issues in the house, but Kaitlin is smarter and can win comps.
  • I say she's meaner, too!
  • Aaryn's just kind of oblivious to right and wrong, good and bad. Kaitlin knows what she's doing when she's cruel.
  • (The above is my own observation.)
  • Judd went around talking to everybody, even those he's likely to put on the block.
  • The feeds were blocked for a long time as the Have/Have Not Comp went down.
  • When the feeds came back up, the hamsters looked a bit greasy and were complaining about the smell.
  • We should be thankful we have no scratch-n-sniff monitors or televisions!
  • Andy, Jessie, Candice and Spencer are the Have Nots.
  • Nominations will be later tonight. It sounds like he's going to put up Kaitlin and GinaMarie.
  • They think that Elissa will get MVP again and she'll probably put up Aaryn.
  • Well, they might have the latter part of that right.

Jumping jacks and jogging

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into the Night - July 18 - 19

Howard-a-Day

Jeremy's gone and the house dynamic changes even more. Soon they'll have to kill off their own. Eep. Here's what's happened since the live show ended in that Big Brother House of Manic Mumbling:
  • Judd didn't really want to win HoH just yet. He feels it's too early.
  • But he won't be offering to return the crown!
  • GinaMarie cried some more. This time it wasn't missing the faux love of her life -- she thinks, due to the question in the HoH comp, that America thinks she's stupid.
  • Well, um ... at least over the Nick thing, she is!
  • In addition to Julie's warning, there was a note in the storage room telling them to expect the unexpected.
  • Amanda thinks it means they're eliminating the MVP, possibly because Elissa keeps getting it.
  • Hey, she can be crude and crass, but she just might be onto something there!
  • Judd told Amanda he's thinking that GinaMarie needs to go on the block.
  • Amanda wants a Howard eviction.
  • She thinks he's too dangerous to keep because he can probably win comps and no one ever really knows what he's up to.
  • Everybody was pleased with the manner in which Jeremy left the house.
  • In the past, we'd call that a class exit. But, for me, using the word class and Jeremy in the same sentence is a bit of an oxymoron.
  • Amanda keeps pushing her Howard agenda on Judd.
  • Now, if she wanted to run the HoH, perhaps she should have won it herself!
  • Not that I like Kaitlin (I think she's a mean girl), but she's so much better about Jeremy going than GinaMarie was about Nick's exit. And, unlike the Nick/GM faux-pairing, she actually had a relationship with Jeremy.
  • I'm just glad I don't have to watch them all over each other anymore. Yay!
  • Judd and Elissa will work on nominations together, shunning Amanda.
  • Oh, but not to her face, mind you!
  • Elissa's allies think she's acting weird and is worried about the new twist and MVP.
  • She probably suspects it's the first time she won't have the power, but they haven't any idea America will vote.
  • Judd's letter from home in his HoH room was from his parents. They're proud of him and sound as country as he does ... but I don't think they mumbled!
  • Still locked in the house, the smokers (including Judd) are fussing about the lack of smoking. Most are Have Nots, making it even worse.
  • Aaryn and Kaitlin fussed as they were told this would be the season of no floaters due to America voting for MVP.
  • How'd that work out for you, BB? By having that twist in there AND putting Elissa in the house, the Mean Girls are right. You shot yourself in the foot.
  • Or something like that.
  • Amanda told Elissa that McCrae really makes her happy, but she's wondering how it will go with family and such when they get out of the house.
  • Aaryn thinks Howard is throwing comps.
  • Welp, another part of his strategy shot -- he lied badly and now his throwing comps is becoming obvious.
  • Judd is pondering backdooring Howard. It seems like GinaMarie, Kaitlin and Aaryn would be amongst his possible nominations.
  • BB gave them a small amount of booze and the Have Nots were able to eat at midnight.
  • Otherwise, ho-hum.

Red wine, no Jeremy

Not Rachel

King for the week

Big Brother 15: Live Eviction, HoH Show Blog Party - July 18


Greetings, hamster watchers! I'd say hamster fans, but there's not too many really likable hamsters in this year's habitrail. Tonight is the live eviction and HoH comp show. As it airs, I'll update this post with major happenings -- refresh the page to see the latest!

As always, the real party is in the comments! Come join us ...

Aaryn and Jeremy are both campaigning to stay. Spencer, not so much. Or, to be honest, Spencer's not campaigning at all.

Amanda and all hid GinaMarie's Nick memorabilia and she's freaking.

Amanda and McCrae's families will be weighing on on their relationship. That should be interesting.

They plea their cases -- Jeremy: No mystery, winner, champion (knows he's leaving). Aaryn: roller coaster ride, thank you. Spencer: Thanks employer and family, best experience.

The voting:
Candice - Jeremy
Andy - Jeremy
Howard - Jeremy
Elissa - Jeremy
Kaitlin - Spencer
GinaMarie - Jeremy
Amanda - Jeremy
McCrae - Jeremy
Jessie - Jeremy
Judd - Jeremy

Bye-bye, Jeremy!

America is the BB MVP - we will decide the third nominee. The voting opens tonight and closes tomorrow night.

Big Brother Royalty - Titles voted on for the hamsters, they need to guess A or B, most deserving of title.

Andy, Amanda, Candice and Elissa out.
Aaryn, Jessie, GinaMarie out.
Howard and Spencer out.
Tiebreaker time.

Judd is the new HOH!
