Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday into Tuesday - July 23-24

Andy's here

So, what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Fools since I last posted?
  • The daytime itself yesterday was a bit boring.
  • The highlight of the day was the HoH photo taking time.
  • Ho-hum.
  • But, by late afternoon/evening the MEOWS were starting to come!
  • Elissa said that she didn't like how Howard was always swearing on the bible. She said she's religious and doesn't think that's right (especially when lying!).
  • Then Elissa got ticked at McCrae and Andy because they "mocked" her religion.
  • Andy and McCrae felt bad as they really didn't mean to mock her religion at all.
  • No apologies accepted!
  • Amanda lamented the lack of alcohol. She thinks past seasons got more.
  • Wah-wah-wah
  • Elissa still wouldn't give up about the religion-mocking.
  • Helen once again told Aaryn she's safe.
  • As the night developed, it doesn't seem so much the case.
  • Elissa is really starting to live up to her sister's reputation ... to a point, anyway.
  • They're starting to think she's a crazy woman.
  • Amanda told Aaryn that Judd/GinaMarie/Howard/Spencer/Kaitlin were in a fake alliance.
  • Heh.
  • Judd claimed he wasn't loyal to that alliance!
  • Amanda told Judd that she thinks things are out of control.
  • Yep and I like it that way!
  • On a side note, GinaMarie texts while driving. Idiot!
  • Hmm ... Amanda told Judd his eyes were dilated and he should get his medicine. He told her not to tell anyone. I wonder what's going on there.
  • Judd really wasn't himself for a while. He was searching in zipped pillowcases and called both Candice and Elissa names (to McCrae, not to their faces).
  • Elissa told Kaitlin that people were lying about her to flip the vote and get her out.
  • Kaitlin ran to Andy fussing that Elissa told her she was getting voted out.
  • Aaryn was right there in the bathroom and overheard.
  • Then Aaryn was freaking out to McCrae and Amanda over the conversation.
  • Aaryn confronted the whole house (sans Candice who was either sleeping or showering and McCrae/Amanda -- we don't need to know what they're doing) about the conversation.
  • Elissa continuously lied, saying she never asked.
  • It was a brouhaha with words. Aaryn kept twisting it to people blaming things on her while Elissa claimed innocence.
  • While Aaryn really looked bad in the room, the after effect was that Elissa looks bad. She pretty much threw everyone under the bus and came across as a crazy liar.
  • Elissa is still on the anti-Aaryn kick, even more so now.
  • GinaMarie, of course -- the most strategic and strong player on the block -- managed to actually come across as the sensible one. Oh, by the way, that description of her is in her mind, not mine.
  • The whole evening only served to muddle the vote a bit, but in the big picture it put a HUGE target on Elissa's back.
  • Now everyone in the house thinks she's a loose cannon and want her out.
  • Amanda wants Elissa out before Howard goes.
  • You know that's bad.
  • Even Helen says she has to go.
  • Elissa claims she's the scapegoat, blamed Kaitlin, then Aaryn.
  • @@
  • Poor Judd. He's just dazed and confused at this point.
  • Mumble, mumble.
  • Amanda didn't escape the issues. Kaitlin thinks she's running the house and instigating a lot of the rumors.
  • Now everyone is buzzing about alliances, real and fake.
  • Elissa and Amanda are likely to be the next targets on the block.
  • I still think Kaitlin will probably go home, but it's a bit muddier now. If they could impeach Elissa, they would.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Late Night Monday - July 22-23

Looking tired

Wake up and smell the hamsters! Ew. Never mind, that sounds just a tad bit disgusting. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Shomances and Nomances:
  • Jessie thinks it's like a human zoo there.
  • Well, yeah. That's the point!
  • Amanda, still on her "get rid of Howard" kick, along with Andy, tried to convince Elissa that Kaitlin is aligned with Howard and must go.
  • Elissa still wants Aaryn out.
  • Gee, no one seems to be after that HUGE threat, GinaMarie.
  • Hahahahaha!
  • I crack myself up.
  • Elissa seems to be going along with the evict Kaitlin plan as of now.
  • We'll see. I think she realizes that the numbers are there to get Kaitlin out, not to get Aaryn out at this time.
  • On the other hand, Candice wants to get Aaryn out. I think that's more personal and I really can't blame her.
  • Amanda and Elissa, both anti-Howard hamsters, both think that it's likely that Howard got the MVP this week.
  • Silly hamsters.
  • Amanda's paranoid because she heard someone called her "shady." She suspects Spencer or Howard.
  • Aaryn told Amanda she would do, vote, nominate whatever they wanted if she gets to stay this week.
  • Elissa gave Howard the third degree, questioning him about just about anything she could think of house-related.
  • He pretty much calmly answered her questions.
  • Spencer thinks that Aaryn will throw the HoH comp.
  • Meanwhile, Amanda had Aaryn promising to put Spencer and Howard on the block if she wins HoH.
  • Of course, the big IF is IF she wins it. I personally don't think she's good at comps.
  • We'll see.
  • Still looking like Kaitlin's heading out the door on Thursday.

You're all scared of me!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Monday Evening - July 22

He hopes his parents are proud of him

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Suspicious Minds (or lack thereof):
  • Elissa really wants Aaryn out while most of the house is leaning towards a Kaitlin eviction.
  • While she insists her decision isn't personal, it most definitely is. Kaitlin is a much bigger threat to win comps and mingle with others than is Aaryn.
  • It's harder and harder to get Howard screen caps without Candice in them.
  • Candice has been giving him a lot of good advice to improve his social game.
  • But will he listen?
  • She also told him not to repeat anything she says about Elissa or Helen to Spencer.
  • But will he listen?
  • Even with her sister's history with the show, Elissa doesn't seem to understand the concept behind the live feeds. She thinks, if America indeed has the MVP nomination, how could they truly judge from the TV show edit?
  • Oh my.
  • She also thinks America hates her.
  • Yeah, that's how she got MVP for three weeks.
  • @@
  • Then she cried because she thinks people will be mean to her and her son.
  • Oh geez. She should be Aaryn! Now, THAT is someone who should worry!
  • Judd thinks that Aaryn is less of a threat than is Kaitlin. He's probably right.
  • Candice and Howard said they'd vote whatever Judd wants.
  • Helen, along with others (including me, not that they care), thinks that Amanda and McCrae need to be broken up. She thinks Amanda is too controlling and venomous when you cross her.
  • Yup.
  • GinaMarie has been sleeping most of the time since the PoV ceremony.
  • Yeah, she's a tough gal.
  • Aaryn is sure that Candice wants her out and will convince Howard to vote for her, too.
  • Amanda and McCrae took a bubble bath together in Judd's HoH tub.
  • @@
  • Not much real action; no brouhahas.
  • Laters!

Call the fashion police!

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.

Again with this camera angle for Judd

Photo shoot time?

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?
