Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Wednesday into the Evening - July 31

A thrill a minute

What's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Hate?

• Nothing much today, nothing much at all.
• They've been on indoor lockdown since 5am for the building of the HoH comp in the yard.
• Helen did a lot of housecleaning, including cleaning the mirrors in the house.
• BB thanked her.
• Other than Helen, no one was up before 1pm (their time).
• Gah.
• Last night's discarded Save Howard Plan by Aaryn, Jessie and GinaMarie caused more unrest while Candice thought that others were scheming to evict her.
• And, Andy's trying to throw the blame for all the rumors on Judd.
• Needless to say, in the house of discomfort, there's even more discomfort.
• So, they napped some more.
• Aaryn is positive that Judd is the MVP.
• Helen told McCrae that Judd wants to evict him once they hit jury, figuring McCrae would vote for him to win.
• Andy wants Judd out.
• Things aren't looking too great for Mumbling Man.
• But, at least he's not up on the block.
• This week.
• Aaryn really thinks it would be better for her own game for Candice to go home instead of Howard.
• Where are Candice and Howard?
• Exiled together napping, cuddling and talking all day.
• I'd say that's not helping either of them. But they do seem to have more problems when they try talking to people in the house.
• They think, as I do, that tomorrow's HoH comp will be an endurance one.
• Yet they nap most of the day and probably will be awake for most of the night.
• The big excitement of the day so far has been Jessie Drama.
• She hid under the covers in one room and refused to talk to anyone.
• Everyone except Howard and Candice even tried an intervention telling her they love her and it didn't work.
• Knowing how she's been about seeking friends, I bet she actually smiled under the blankets.
• "They like me! They really like me!" -- credit to Sally Fields.
• But, nah.
• She finally told Andy (alone) that she was scared to talk to anyone because everything always gets so twisted.
• So, there's the day in the house. 
• It sucks to be them, huh?

A bible and a banana

Big Brother 15: MVP Nomination, PoV Show Blog Party - July 31

Everybody got their beverages and snacks at hand? The party's starting! As tonight's show airs here on the East Coast, I'll post the major events right here. To get the latest news, refresh the page.

But, if you came to party and discuss the show with others ... head to the comments! Please, though, I do ask that things are kept to a PG-level. Thank you in advance!

Amanda is the MVP nomination -- of course, she blames Howard. The additional veto players are Candice and Jessie. Helen is the host.

Veto comp time! Mad scientist Helen is in the time lab. They must travel back in time to solve a puzzle in prehistoric backyard times. Spencer wins PoV!

Aaryn is leaning towards Candice as the replacement nominee. But we all knew that would happen.

Veto meeting time. Spencer saves himself and Aaryn puts Candice on the block. No surprises there.

Mumble, mumble, toil and trouble

I think this might be the first season ever I've felt this uncomfortable with pretty much the whole group of hamsters in the habitrail. While the game has always been about backstabbing and deceit, it's taken on an outright evil tinge this year. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Cringeworthy Crazies:

• Aaryn's upset that Candice is once again "buddy buddy" with Helen and Elissa.
• Aw, that's too bad, isn't it?
• Amanda thinks Aaryn is being too paranoid. In other words, Amanda's paranoid that Aaryn might leave her little group of minions.
• Even McCrae is getting tired of how Amanda bullies treats others.
• As a matter of fact, he looks more miserable than not at almost all times he's with Amanda lately.
• As a superfan, McCrae should have known better than to get into a major showmance.
• After McCrae admonished her for treating Aaryn badly, Amanda went and apologized to her.
• Aaryn, not the sharpest stick in the woods, probably accepted it. It's hard to tell sometimes.
• Aaryn is still on her anti-Candice shtick.
• Amanda is still on her anti-Howard shtick.
• Every time the alleged Howard sexual threat is brought up, we get fish.
• I think that's something Amanda created to sway others against Howard. It seems very out of character for him and I find it totally unlikely. Plus, there is no evidence -- we saw him whisper something, but it didn't seem like that and we couldn't hear it.
• If she did indeed make it up, shame on her. That's evil.
• If she didn't, shame on him.
• I still personally think it's totally manufactured by her.
• Both GinaMarie and Aaryn would prefer Candice leave this week. Only GM can vote (unless there's a tie).
• Jessie is upset that she's tried to make up with Candice and Candice isn't accepting her.
• Jessie still comes across as some sort of annoying needy little sister.
• That is, if I had an annoying needy little sister.
• Jessie told Helen that she thinks GinaMarie and Judd are closer than she (Jessie) and Judd.
• Jessie cried.
• Helen consoled her as Helen often does ... everyone. That Mom complex must just kick in or it's in her strategy.
• There seems like there might be some movement with the plan to vote out Candice instead of Howard. Jessie and GinaMarie are talking about flipping the vote. If they, Spencer and Judd vote for Candice to go, Howard would stay.
• I'd prefer Amanda go, thankyouverymuch.
• GinaMarie is SURE the MVP is Elissa.
• My, my ... so much this season is all based on dislike for perceived and supposedly real reasons.
• Aaryn told GinaMarie that she just "can't" vote out Candice if there's a tie this week.
• That would be due to either her word to Helen/Elissa or fear of Amanda. Take your pick.
• Helen thinks the vote will be split and Aaryn will have to vote.
• Amanda said she'll make "damn sure" Aaryn votes out Howard.
• How? Threaten to kill her like she did Candice?
• Judd told Andy that he's getting a bit scared of how attached to him (Judd) that Jessie is getting. He said if he gets HoH, he'll put her on the block just to show they are NOT working together.
• Of course, by now, people are realizing that they can use Andy to transmit messages.
• Aaryn thinks that people will take Jessie to the final two because it would be a sure win against her.
• Probably.
• They're worried because Candice seems to know there will be votes for her to leave when supposedly the original plan was for an almost unanimous Howard exit.
• Amanda started talking about the plan to get Candice out.
• Her minions are shocked that she's actually thinking of it.
• When half of them were already thinking of it.
• @@
• I still think Howard will go, but it just might be Candice.
• What would be super cool would be if they all turned on Amanda.
• But I don't see that happening.

McCrae looks miserable a lot lately

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Tuesday into the Evening - July 30

Oh,no! Jeremy!

So sad. The big flying beetle the hamsters named Jeremy (as a tribute, naturally!) self-evicted at the Big Brother House earlier today. Otherwise, it's been yet another day of confrontations, scheming and unhappiness. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Spools of Lies:

• Aaryn told those who rule the house that GinaMarie said Spencer and Howard were campaigning to get Amanda out this week.
• She said that "they" said that once that crew goes, then go all the peripheral players until it's just Amanda, McCrae, Elissa and Helen as the final four.
• I personally kind of want to say, "So what? It's Big Brother. The nature of the game is to target people you want to beat and be the last hamster standing."
• But, no! It's like this is some kind of grand machinery working against them that they never suspected!
• @@
• Interesting ... before BB cut to fish, Aaryn mentioned that (while in sequester) they didn't allow Elissa to watch Rachel's season. They always let the sequestered people view a few seasons while they're in exile.
• They think that Judd (a) is MVP, (b) might be related to a past hamster, (3) might be flipping to join Spencer and Howard.
• Aaryn's worried that if there's a tie this week, Spencer will create a scene during the live show.
• Aaryn thinks that if Helen is at the end, she will win.
• Probably.
• Amanda thinks Helen wants to be in the final two with Elissa.
• Maybe.
• Amanda wonders why Judd referred to her and McCrae as a "power couple" and why people think they're running the game.
• I don't even have a witty retort for that one.
• Andy told Judd they should tell Spencer last minute that it will be Howard voted out. (I think he knows it already and is just holding onto the dream it might be Amanda or even Candice instead.)
• When Helen asked Judd why he snapped at her yesterday, Judd told her he was actually mad that Howard was "pulling on heartstrings" to stay.
• Helen told Judd that Elissa is bad for her game and she will have no problem voting her out when the time comes. She also said Howard does nothing for her game.
• They all can't believe how slowly they're going through food since Jeremy left. He ate more than several people. Amanda mentioned he never watched the show (before sequester) and his mother sent in his application package as she's a fan.
• Then we finally got some drama ... Amanda and Spencer smackdown! Well, no fisticuffs, but lots of words between the two!
• Spencer told her she was a bully.
• She said he was a liar.
• Back and forth, up and down ... and nothing got resolved.
• I was just happy that someone (anyone) called Amanda out for what she is.
• Spencer definitely wants Candice voted out instead of Howard, but obviously knows that's not what Amanda wants.
• He'd prefer Amanda get voted out but knows the followers will continue to follow.
• Now, I'm not a Spencer fan. He's kind of a creepy disgusting guy. But I give him kudos for TRYING to shuffle the house.
• Spencer said Howard has all but given up and is talking about self-evicting.
• Amanda said her approach to the game isn't winning comps, but building relationships.
• BWHAHAHAHA! McCrae is a strategy? Build relationships by being a controlling so-and-so? I scoff her strategy!
• Well, I should take back my scoff. It's working for her.
• For now.
• Then the drama continued with Keepin' It Real with Candice.
• She lit into Spencer for campaigning against her.
• She ranted about him leaving if she stays in the house!
• Wham! Rant! 
• Done and over.
• Then Howard defended his actions saying that if he couldn't be who he is in the house, he'd rather go.
• He claims he isn't self-evicting, but that's how it is. He will not compromise his own goals.
• All of this is making Aaryn feel very secure with her relationship with Helen and Andy. She said that they (Spencer, Howard) think she's an outsider because she doesn't show her cards.
• Little does she know, she's way low on their totem pole.
• Helen told Candice her speech was great today. Gosh, that Helen gets around.
• McCrae told Andy he thinks Judd already tipped Spencer off that they were voting Howard out and that fueled the confrontation with Amanda.
• Um, NO. Spencer, creepy as he is, isn't dumb to the game.
• Aaryn and Amanda think that Candice's rant put a bigger target on both her and Spencer. Her as in Candice herself.
• GinaMarie told Aaryn she agreed with Howard about the four people running the house -- Amanda, McCrae, Helen and Elissa.
• I'd actually say it was two -- Amanda and Helen.
• Amanda insists that Howard threatened her sexually.
• We have no evidence of this on the feeds. None at all. He whispered something to her and her reaction was laughter. We couldn't hear what was said.
• She's telling everyone he said it and thinks she should tell the producers.
• Hmm.
• GinaMarie said Asian people are called "gooks." Spencer (of ALL people) corrected and told her that's bad.
• I'm just in shock at the idiots in the house this year! And, IDIOTS isn't a slur. It's just nuthin' but the truth!
• Aaryn wants Howard out as, in his speech earlier, he referred to her as an Indian and not a chief.
• So she thinks she's a leader?
• Oh, but now she hates Candice again! She said Candice lied to everyone about her being a racist and told Amanda to confront her about it.
• To her credit, Amanda denied that Candice told her to confront Aaryn about the racist talk.
• So, now it seems she wants Candice out.
• Mind you, Aaryn only votes in the case of a tie.

At least he stood up to Amanda

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday Night Into Tuesday - July 29-30

Just wad that hair up in a ball

They'll spend forever doing their make-up, yet these girls have black roots in their blond hair or just gob all that hair into a ball atop their heads with pieces sticking out all over. Yeah, that was one sentence. But I had to say it.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Recruited Rodents:

• Helen is just now realizing that practically anything said to Jessie makes the rounds?
• Sheesh. Candice just stumbled on that fact, as well.
• Now, instead of thinking that Howard is MVP, most think Judd is.
• He denies it.
• Aaryn, Helen and Amanda decide that they're a "circle of trust." @@
• Yeah, that trust will last until they turn on each other and cast each other aside.
• They're suspicious of Judd because, for one thing, he stays up late every night with Spencer.
• Aaryn thinks, for her own game, she'd rather have Spencer in the jury than Elissa or Candice.
• That, of course, is due to that mutual hate thing those three have going on.
• Helen commented on the fact that Judd is not only up late, he's usually up early as she's up and exercising. He doesn't sleep a lot, but lies a lot she thinks.
• Helen thinks Judd needs to go before Jessie. Amanda claims he "snaps" a lot.
• Judd can have his moods.
• But, coming from the women in this game, I'd say "Grab a mirror!"
• Helen compared Judd's game to that of Dan Gheesling.
• Um, no. Not alike at all.
• Amanda is not only stressed about being on the block, but now her tummy hurts, too.
• Poor baby.
• Poor McCrae, who fairly silently puts up with it all.
• Aaryn and GinaMarie talked.
• Aaryn went out of that Circle of Trust, please take note.
• She told GinaMarie that whenever she's talking with Amanda and others, it seems like they have to all cater to Amanda.
• Yep.
• (As a sidenote: The girls have all complained about Candice's voice. But what the heck is going on with that gurgly underwater voice Aaryn has half the time?)
• Helen told Andy she actually really likes Aaryn now.
• How quickly they forget.
• Spencer dissed both Amanda and Helen to GinaMarie.
• He told GinaMarie that he caught Helen lying to him.
• While talking to Spencer, Howard compared GinaMarie to a guy.
• She'd probably be thrilled. That's the "tough boy" persona she seems to go for.
• Amanda told Jessie that she needs to listen to Andy, herself and McCrae and do what they tell her.
• Hmm.
• Jessie told Amanda that Candice "threatened her" in their talk in the bathroom.
• My gosh, if she thinks that's a threat ...! How is this girl going to make it through life?
• Amanda agreed with Jessie that Candice is a bully.
• I say, "Pot, kettle, black." Amanda is so much more of a bully! Sheesh!
• Amanda's new final four scenario is: Herself, McCrae, Andy and Aaryn.
• Aaryn: "Don't get me in any fake alliances!"
• Oh, no, my little sweetie ... this is REAL!
• @@
• Amanda said Spencer is a misogynistic bully.
• Well, yeah.
• Aaryn lied to Judd, telling him Amanda and Crew trusts him.
• Aaryn told Elissa that she'd never say any racist slurs because it would hurt her outside the house when she left.
• Well, yeah. A bit too late now.
• Elissa and Aaryn have made up now.
• We'll see how long this all lasts.
• It still looks like Howard will be voted out. I'm actually wondering if Candice might be able to take the stress of being there a bit better without him.
• But I don't know if the others will allow her to even try.
• Sigh.
