Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Friday Daytime - August 9

NOT a Janelle, definitely NOT

Although Helen told Aaryn that she's like a Janelle, I don't believe that Helen believes that. That's part of her personal social strategy to build people up and make them think she values them.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boastful Bigots:

• Elissa, GinaMarie and Aaryn compared notes -- Judd told each of them he'd like a final two deal with them.
• McCrae moped some more about Judd being voted out.
• Helen apologized to him for it, saying it did have to be done.
• Eventually, as the day wore on, McCrae admitted he had as much of a part in Judd's exit as the others did.
• Andy, although still loyal to his own alliance, formed a sub-alliance with Spencer as he (Andy) knows that he's odd man out with two duos (McCrae/Amanda and Helen/Elissa).
• After Andy left, Spencer mumbled to himself that Andy must not realize being in an alliance with him is the kiss of death.
• Spencer's right -- his allies have been being evicted one by one.
• Amanda, Andy and McCrae talked about possibly using Helen as a replacement nominee (scenario: Jessie and Spencer on the block, Spencer wins veto), then blindsiding Jessie by telling her Helen is the target.
• Helen, as shrewd social game-wise as she is, is still not realizing that Andy runs to Amanda with everything she says!
• Helen told Andy she thinks time is running out to get Amanda/McCrae out.
• @@
• Andy told her that he thinks they'll be loyal to them (himself, Helen) until the end.
• Andy told Helen that McCrae should go before Amanda. Helen agrees.
• Oh noes!
• The reasoning is that McCrae is better in comps.
• Well, they have a point there.
• Then he went and told Amanda that Helen did discuss taking them down, but way down the line.
• At least he fibbed a teensy bit.
• McCrae said he'll be really upset if he gets out and finds out Judd was NOT the MVP.
• Let's send him some tissues.
• Helen told Andy she does NOT want to go on the block and, if she does somehow this week, he better not give her grief about voting out Amanda or McCrae the next.
• Aaryn is upset that Amanda told Judd on the way out that she had no idea he was going to be evicted.
• Amanda must be thinking jury votes. She also mentioned she had mended fences with Candice. In Candice's speech, she said she liked everybody but "you two." That would be Aaryn and GinaMarie.
• Andy told GinaMarie he won't be putting her on the block.
• He's still planning the Spencer/Jessie nominations with the target on Jessie because she "flips" to the power.
• He told Spencer he'd be safe and that he feared if he put GinaMarie up as a pawn, she would be too unpredictable.
• Andy told Aaryn that he wants to blindside Jessie. She's not thrilled with it because she just saved her and feels Jessie will be loyal to her.
• Andy told her not for long because she flips.
• Aaryn thinks Jessie will have a breakdown.
• Andy told her that's why he wants to blindside her, make it appear she's not the target.
• Amanda thinks their (her/McCrae) biggest obstacle to getting to the final three would be Jessie and Helen.
• Amanda is getting suspicious of McCrae.
• "Paranoia strikes deep, into your heart it will creep ..."
• She thinks he doesn't trust her since Judd went.
• Then she went onto talk about their life of bliss together after they leave the house.
• @@
• Nominations will be later tonight.
• Yawn.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Since Double Eviction, New HoH - August 8-9

Not a flattering garment!

The excitement didn't end with the show ... after all, another HoH needed to be crowned before the night was out. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of No More Frog Gigging:

• After the feeds returned ...
• GinaMarie kept going on and on about speaking up to defend herself (to Candice) about living at home with her mother because it's so expensive to live in NYC.
• It IS expensive, but Staten Island is nowhere near as expensive as Manhattan or Brooklyn.
• I'm SO tired of hearing GM say, "I'm from New York, I say what I want."
• Let's stop that stereotype right now! She is NOT representative of anyone other than her own self. Geez.
• Helen and Amanda said that Judd had to go because he wanted to work with McCrae and get rid of the girls.
• Amanda is sure Judd was the MVP nominating her.
• They all think Judd knew the game well and was good at it.
• In her going on about Candice not even knowing what she has, GinaMarie talked about her car and room, referring to them as a piece of excrement (she didn't say that, I did). She ended her tirade with "I'm the better person. I have blond hair and blue eyes."
• Argh. Fake blond and annoying knows no color!
• Amanda told Aaryn she will always be safe with them and they definitely trust her.
• McCrae actually cried. I think his Life With Amanda Show is crashing in and he realizes that the Judd eviction may have been a mistake ... especially for his own game.
• Jessie told Helen that she (Jessie) had told Aaryn that she would never target her (Aaryn) if she saved her.
• Um. That's not why Aaryn saved her. It was due to Amanda and Helen convincing her she had to put Judd up.
• They're worried about what Julie said about people coming back.
• McCrae said a jury member has never come back.
• He's right. Except for that Rachel 24-hour return, none have ever come back to actually return to the game.
• But I say "Expect the unexpected."
• The feeds were blocked for the HoH comp.
• Whoa! ANDY is the new HoH.
• He will NOT be giving up his room to others.
• Good.
• Unfortunately, he will be probably nominating whomever Helen and Amanda tell him to.
• The targets are unlikely to be Amanda, McCrae, Helen, Elissa for sure.
• He had to select Have Nots (using the mung beans and whatever we voted on a few weeks back).
• GinaMarie, Helen and Aaryn were chosen. Elissa volunteered.
• Amanda cried because she can't win anything ever.
• Andy told her that her strategic game is flawless.
• I wouldn't say flawless, but she's still ruling the roost.
• Along with Helen, mind you.
• Andy said he was hoping for a letter from his mother, but she didn't sign the release.
• Well, she apparently did sign the release and that's who sent him the HoH letter.
• McCrae told Spencer he thinks that he needs to start playing the game for himself. Apparently he had that wake-up call when Amanda "took Judd away" from him.
• Aaryn got a basket of goodies for her short-lived HoH reign.
• Andy told Amanda he will probably nominate Spencer and Jessie with GinaMarie as the back-up.
• Spencer thinks they should just put his name on one chair.
• They all could hear the applause when Judd left the house and thinks America really liked him.
• So, of course, he MUST have been the MVP.
• The backyard opened up and, as I get this posted, lots of small talk, booze drinking and cigarette smoking going on.

What have we done?

Missing Judd already

Where you go, there you are

Hmm ... I've been trying all season to read this tattoo under Amanda's right breast. Um. Okay. Weird.

The new Head of Household

Big Brother 15: Live Double Eviction, HOH Show Blog Party - August 8

Welp, it's here! The first double eviction of the season! 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.

But, as always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join us! I do ask that you PLEASE remember this is show we're watching for entertainment. The cast is not in our own personal lives -- take some deep breaths and don't let them get to you. For us, it's just a show, nothing to get all that angry about ... please!

Julie announced to us that both evicted hamsters will go to jury.

Dang, they're wasting a lot of time on the Amanda eviction possibility.

Julie tells them the jury will be nine and one of the nominees will be the first jury member. Then she tells them double eviction. And "just because you're on the jury doesn't mean you're out of the game."

The speeches -- Candice calls out GinaMarie, CAT FIGHT! Spencer, quick. Amanda, same as last week.

The vote:
McCrae -- Candice
Aaryn -- Candice
Helen -- Candice
Jessie -- Candice
Elissa -- Candice
Andy -- Candice
Judd -- Candice

Unanimous, Candice is out (as I predicted). Julie can't give her any news as she's going to jury.

HoH Comp - Summer School, items and events, answers are "more" or "less."
Elissa out.
Andy and Jessie out.
Aaryn won ... doesn't seem all that thrilled when announced.

Julie said no more worries, MVP twist is over.
Aaryn's nominations: Jessie and Spencer

Veto comp (not similar to last night's practice) -- Andy and Amanda chosen to play with them. They have toolboxes and must complete a puzzle.

Aaryn won PoV!

She decides that JESSIE comes off the block!!! Judd goes on the block. Sigh. She said that she was told she'd go home next if she didn't do that.

Spencer, same plea. Judd, love ya all loyal, vote how you want to.

The vote:
Amanda -- Judd
McCrae -- Judd
GinaMarie -- Judd
Andy -- Judd
Helen -- Judd
Elissa -- Judd
Jessie -- Judd

Sigh. Judd's gone and mostly because Amanda thinks he was MVP. 

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Wednesday into Thursday - August 7-8

Practicing for a comp

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whacked Wannabees:

• Helen doesn't think Amanda will backdoor her because she needs her.
• I say, for now.
• Jessie knows that she's a lone wolf at this point and is studying hard for any memory comps.
• Aaryn told Andy that he's in the best position in the house.
• He just might be.
• Jessie's attachment to Judd is wearying him. 
• Aaryn is tiring of GinaMarie and says she needs to go.
• Amanda thinks Aaryn makes up a lot of stuff to stir things up.
• Amanda is sure Judd was the MVP putting her on the block this past two weeks.
• Helen trashtalked Jessie to Amanda and Andy.
• Oh my. It looks like everyone needs to go!
• Although they're finally thinking it might be a double eviction (credit: Amanda), they don't know that we've heard Jury will start and that Julie Chen hinted the MVP twist may be over.
• After an indoor lockdown, they got a practice comp in the yard.
• They have to roll a ball down a plank and into one of two receptacles on either side at the end.
• I'm sure the real comp will look a lot fancier than the practice one.
• Uh-oh. Aaryn's doing well at it.
• Amanda caught on to the double eviction as they were told everyone needs to practice, even the current HoH. Then Judd picked up on the same idea.
• Oh my. Now Spencer's getting good at it!
• GinaMarie in her role of the Oh So Important HoH, held meetings with everyone to "make sure the vote will go the right way."
• Jessie balked. She said she knows what her vote will be and didn't want to discuss it.
• The feeds were down an extended time for the hamsters to have a pizza and booze party ... it must be the halfway point.
• Why does it feel like a lifetime already?
• Amanda is worried there will be a tie vote.
• As much as I think they should get her out for the betterment of everybody's game, I don't think so. 
• I think it will be an overwhelming Candice vote out.
• GinaMarie gave McCrae and Amanda the HoH room for the night to make up for the night originally intended. Amanda had to keep tanning that night.
• GinaMarie wants everyone to come to her at 5:30 before the show to confirm that Candice is being voted out.
• @@
• Gosh, give someone a bit of power and ...!
• Jessie really really wants to win HoH. Do you think she can?
• She pretty much needs to win it.
• McCrae once again had to try to get Amanda to cool it when she started giving Aaryn a rough time, telling her that if there's a tie it had to be Aaryn voting against her as Helen never would.
• @@
• We all know that Aaryn really really clashes with Candice. Now, if Amanda keeps it up and she votes Amanda to go ... well, that would mean Amanda's actions did herself in.
• Amanda thinks McCrae treats her like a child.
• Well, if the shoe fits ...
• Jessie told Helen she will be voting with the house since no one wants to take her up on her plan to keep Candice.
• Hmm.
• At this point, she's created enough grief for herself that she might as well vote for Amanda to go. The damage is done.
• GinaMarie dreams of marrying Nick.
• @@
• Andy told fellow Goof Troop members (Judd, McCrae and Amanda) that he was told they couldn't use that name as there's a copyright infringement with it.
• They tried to come up with a new name, but they were interrupted.
• Of course, it seems like Judd really isn't a part of it anymore anyway. Amanda is sure he's the one putting her up. McCrae thinks he's "shady."
• Amanda thinks that if she and McCrae were on the block, she would stay.
• McCrae thinks he would stay.
• I agree with McCrae.

Big Brother 15: MVP nom, PoV Show Blog Party

Well, well, well. There seems to be some scuttlebutt on the Internet that (a) the remaining hamsters will go to jury -- including the two from tomorrow night (b) the MVP twist might be ending.

As tonight's show airs, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to see the latest! The real party will be down in the comments ... come join us!

After Jessie drama and McCrae/Amanda drama, we get to the MVP reveal -- Amanda. McCrae isn't surprised. The two additional PoV players are Spencer and Judd. GinaMarie chooses Aaryn to host the comp.

PoV Comp - The yard is done up like a frog pond. It's a comp where everyone wins something, but those staying in longer can trade prizes.

GM out first, got the veto.
Amanda out, got doggy cone of shame. She traded for the veto.
After a cat fight with Amanda, Candice is out. She got a Bahamas vacation, traded for the veto. Spencer out, got 50 Shades of Orange (tanning), he traded for the vacation. Judd wins over Jessie. Jessie got $5,000, traded for the veto. Judd got a clown-itard.He traded it for the 5,000.

So ...
Amanda gets an orange tan.
Spencer goes to the Bahamas.
Judd got five grand.
Candice got a clown-itard.
GinaMarie got a cone of shame (Elizabethan collar).
Jessie has the PoV.

Veto Meeting -- Jessie saves herself. GM puts Spencer on the block.
