Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday Daytime - PoV Meeting, MVP re-nom 7/22

Howard-a-Day

For us, it was just another Monday. For the hamsters, it was a day of intrigue. Who's the mysterious MVP? What's the twist Julie promised? Who will be the replacement MVP nomination when Elissa takes herself off the block? Here's what's happened today inside that Big Brother House of Nervous Nancys:

• Aaryn thinks Elissa is too judgmental. Um. Okay.
• Kaitlin, Spencer, Judd, Aaryn and GinaMarie have come up with a ton o' lies (or is it a spool of lies) they believe Elissa has told ranging from where her husband is from/lives, what Rachel does, how old her kids are and more.
• I officially denounce GinaMarie as a local to me. She lives perhaps ten miles away and now you know where they got the cast of Jersey Shore. 'Nuff said.
• Kaitlin is riding Amanda's target Howard train. She's worried he's going to start winning comps after throwing them all along.
• Kaitlin thinks the PoV was set up for Kaitlin to win.
• Several seasons ago (seasons five and six), I was friends with the comp producer for the show. He told me that all of the comps were decided long beforehand and they had no clue even who the cast was when they designed and scheduled them. I believe him. Folks always jump on the conspiracy wagon, but sometimes it's just how things happen.
• Kaitlin and Spencer trashtalked Amanda.
• Not to her face, of course.
• There's yet another new alliance -- The Grasshoppers --GinaMarie, Judd, Spencer, Kaitlin and Howard.
• Yeah, let's see how that one does!
• Jessie told Candice that she's over Amanda because she's been so obnoxious.
• Jessie is a bit of a slow learner. Though, considering how desperate she was for friends, to shun Amanda's friendship speaks volumes.
• Elissa wants to give a threatening speech when she saves herself, but Judd told her she should cool it a bit and not make herself a larger target.
• Elissa STILL thinks Howard is the MVP.
• Judd admitted that he knows he can't always be understood.
• Mumble, mumble back at ya, Judd!
• Andy and Helen think that either Kaitlin or Howard need to go home before Aaryn.
• I understand the thinking about Kaitlin going home. She's almost won many comps. Plus, she's really a mean girl. The last is my own opinion.
• Howard's good to look at, but his social game is woefully lacking.
• Aaryn, despite the bigoted racist comments, isn't all that bright and isn't likely to win a comp by herself. Plus, if she's still standing at the end, whomever is up with her will win.
• It pretty much wouldn't matter who the other person was.
• I will admit I'm wanting to see the Aaryn/Julie interview, though!
• Feeds were blocked for the veto meeting and ...
• ... drum roll ...
• GinaMarie is on the block in Elissa's place!
• She claims the three prettiest girls are on the block.
• I claim three Mean Girls.
• GinaMarie went off on some sort of berserk mannish, gal gangsta, "I'm from New Yawk" rant.
• She says people know they can't beat her, so they want to send her home.
• @@
• Delusions much, little girl?
• Judd tried to tell GinaMarie to lay low and not ruffle any feathers.
• She said, "What?"
• Kaitlin claims she got a "serious vibe" from the Diary Room that Elissa is the MVP and nominated herself.
• That shows how much they read into everything there.
• GinaMarie referred to Candice as both an "Oreo" and "MilliVanilli" today, although not in the same sentence.
• Also, not to her face because that's how the tough gal rolls.
• @@
• Andy, alliance roamer he is, is trying to work himself in with Spencer and Howard.
• Gah! Stupid McCrae told GinaMarie that if she goes home, he'll give her his five thousand dollars. Stupid boy. He's been really disappointing for a superfan.
• It's looking like it's most likely going to be Kaitlin leaving this week.
• But things could always change.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Wee Hours - July 21-22

Yikes! Scary hair!

I'll never figure out why people with dark natural hair go in as blonds on the show. It always becomes a real rootsy affair. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dye Jobs Needed:

• McCrae voiced his concerns to Helen that Amanda might be in trouble due to Elissa.
• Helen told him she'd be fine -- they just need to keep all their votes together this week.
• Both McCrae and Helen think Howard might be the MVP as he was in the Diary Room an extended time.
• We know they're wrong.
• McCrae and Helen's plan is to get Aaryn, Kaitlin, then Howard out. Candice and Spencer would go on to jury.
• Several think that Elissa is just trying to stir up drama with accusations of being MVP.
• McCrae and Amanda had a fake wedding with a ring he made.
• GinaMarie, still stung by unrequited love for her kid Nick, was all ticked off about said fake wedding.
• @@
• Andy, McCrae and Judd have figured out that Spencer is a good liar.
• If he was a bad liar like Howard, they would have figured it out long ago.
• Spencer told Andy he'll be a great wife to someone someday.
• @@
• Amanda told Judd he has an accent combined with mumbling.
• She's right. He can speak clearly at times, but it's often hard to understand him!
• Judd snagged Nick's (McCrae's) hat and a towel, went running through the house as others screamed the twist is that Nick's back.
• GinaMarie cried.
• @@
• Spencer called Helen Kim Jong Il. Not to her face, mind you.
• Amanda keeps telling people that she thinks Howard is MVP.
• Howard keeps getting ticked because Amanda keeps telling people he's MVP.
• And on and on it goes, where it'll stop no one knows. 

Are we boring you, Candice?

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 21

Fun with camera angles?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Suspicious Sillies:

• Candice told Helen that she thinks Amanda might have faked the tears after the Amanda/Elissa MEOW over the "stripper club" birthday for McCrae.
• When asked, McCrae said he'd like a date night with Amanda for his birthday.
• Didn't they have one of those in Judd's HoH bed last night?
• There are continuous rumblings amongst the girls -- no way will there be any sort of solid decent-sized girl alliance.
• Kaitlin is mad at Howard.
• Elissa is mad at Amanda.
• Kaitlin and Aaryn are warring.
• And Andy just pops up everywhere.
• Judd got released from his solitary confinement.
• He shouted, "Mumble, MUMBLE!" with glee.
• Candice again reminded Howard to be mindful of his social game.
• Judd reminded Aaryn to try to be cool. She said she's learning to keep her mouth shut.
• Yeah, right.
• Amanda is worried about becoming the third nominee.
• Spencer told Amanda that people have been comparing notes and found out she and McCrae have multiple deals going with others in the house.
• Oopsie!
• When Amanda asked him why it's her taking the heat and not McCrae, he told her that it's because she's the leader of the two.
• Candice doesn't want Aaryn in the house.
• Shocker, I know.
• Helen's in for the night on her curfew.
• So she can't weigh in on any of this.
• Andy really really thinks America has the MVP vote this week.
• He's really really right.

Big Brother 15: Nominations, Food Comp Show Blog Party - July 21

Ready to party out there, folks? It's time for a blog party -- the water in the pool is just right, drinks will flow and snacks will abound. Opinions are bound to abound, as well! 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!

However, the real party is in the comments area. Put on your party hats and join on in!

After the recap, they're all worried about the twist Julie promised. Judd's HOH reveal and letter from home. Aw. GinaMarie's lack of proper vocabulary bit was funny. Onto the Howard and Candice relationship.

Have Not time ... three teams, frozen yogurt cafe - disgusting yogurts. The team gaining the most weight from it wins, least weight will be Have Nots. The Have Nots are Andy, Candice, Spencer and Jessie.

Have Not vote is for brussel sprouts and bananas, raisins and ramen, mushrooms and marmalade.

After much pushing for an Aaryn and Howard nomination when he's thinking Kaitlin and GinaMarie, it's time for nominations. Key order: Spencer, Jessie, Elissa, Candice, McCrae, Andy, Helen, Howard, GinaMarie, Amanda.

Aaryn and Kaitlin are on the block. Kaitlin, he doesn't think is going anywhere. Aaryn is a Texas tornado and he doesn't need her twist on words anymore.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Sunday Afternoon - July 20-21

Birthday boy

I know I'm getting this report up a bit late. But, the hamsters slept ... so did I. And, dang, it felt good! Here's what's happened since my last report in that Big Brother House of Wayward Weirdos:

• Helen's curfew punishment dictates that she neither talks, nor gets talked to, from 8pm until morning.
• Judd's solitary punishment isn't in the Have Not room as in previous seasons. He's in the little settee (cockpit this year) room where they had the fortune teller last year, this year the photo booth.
• He's no Dan Gheesling trying to save his game life in there. He kept trying to sleep even though an alarm clock woke him up on a regular basis.
• Y'know, Chicken George's potato clock would have been a lot more quiet!
• Candice reminded GinaMarie that, in the slew of activity, they never had the Nick memorial on Friday night. I was hoping they'd all forget.
• But, in exit interviews, Nick professes to actually having feelings for GinaMarie and is interested.
• Oh my. I called that one wrong!
• They're all still in a quandary over who the MVP is this week.
• Heh.
• Most suspect it's America, but the fact that it's an Elissa nom and she's been voted MVP every week, they're confused.
• I'm not. I suspect Aaryn and Kaitlin (the Mean Girls) were our first two choices and they were nominated by Judd first.
• Spencer told Aaryn everybody wants her out.
• Well, that was so nice of him, wasn't it?
• He told her he'd work with her to try to save her.
• @@
• Andy, of course, ran to Amanda to tell her that Helen told him that she and McCrae can't be trusted.
• I predicted that move!
• Andy is still popping up everywhere at anytime. It's almost frightening how he zeroes in on every bit of game talk in the house.
• There was some sort of power outage in the backyard, forcing them inside but with limited space as Judd's solitary is in the cockpit room.
• Amanda dressed in lingerie while Spencer and Howard became robbers to hold down McCrae for his kinky birthday celebration.
• That all was just a bit out there.
• Elissa got drunk and melancholy. Get it together, girl. You have the PoV!
• She thinks production hates her. I think they like past obnoxious hamsters and their relations way too much.
• Elissa also lit into Amanda about the stripping party for McCrae.
• Amanda cried because Elissa made fun of her.
• Junior high, anyone?
• Andy figured out that America probably voted to nominate Aaryn and Kaitlin and Elissa was a third choice.
• Well, we'll see the fourth choice before long!
• GinaMarie made mean comments about Candice's looks.
• Candice, unlike GinaMarie, was actually Miss (Whatever state, I forgot), one year.
• Amanda and McCrae did the deed AGAIN in Judd's HoH bed.
• Ew.
• Aaryn said she cried the most when told (by Amanda, not the show) that people think she's a racist.
• Hey, her own words brought that down on her!
• Apparently, their bathroom is really rank. Why don't they clean and disinfect it instead of whining about it?
• GinaMarie told Spencer she wants a man to take care of her, more emotionally than financially.
• That doesn't surprise me seeing her reaction to Nick.
• Aaryn claims that, outside the house, she always carries a gun.
• That right there is a call for stricter gun control laws, I say!
• Judd's alarm in his solitary room kept going off. Half the time he slept through it.
• Helen told Elissa she (Elissa) needs to win HoH this week to be safe. Part of Elissa's winning of PoV this week is that she can't play for it next week.
• Candice continued to advise Howard to work more on his social game.
• She makes some good points. Because Howard shuts down and doesn't talk a lot to others, they automatically think he's up to something or sneaky.
• Judd, in solitary, asked the camera (us) if he should turn on McCrae and Amanda.
• I don't know if he should actually turn on them yet, but be very wary.
• Let the rest of the house turn on them, then join in.
• Both Helen and Spencer are turned off by real public displays of attention ... couples hanging all over each other.
• So am I.
• Candice wants a showdown between the Howard vs. Amanda crews once the Mean Girls are out of the house.
• Elissa reminded Candice that Amanda, although there are issues, kept them safe before. But then she admitted that the whole house kept her safe, not just Amanda.
• Aaryn thinks she's wrongfully blamed for anything that goes wrong in the house.
• Heehee!
• Amanda said when she's not in control, her anxiety levels go up.
• Y'think?
• Elissa and Amanda made up for the stripper club fight last night, albeit they're still a bit leery of each other.
• Howard gave McCrae a bible passage for his birthday.
• Judd's still in solitary until the evening.
• Lots more speculation about who the MVP is this week.
• Stop by later for the blog party while the episode airs here on the East Coast!
