Big Brother 15: PoV Show Blog Party - August 14

Yeah, yeah ... I know we already know (at least those who follow the live feeds), but it should be fun to watch anyway. Or, at least the party here can be fun even if the show isn't! As it airs, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest!

As always, if you're here for the party, head to the comments!

The 3am alliance is formed -- Aaryn, Andy, Amanda and McCrae. Helen is finally getting worried about Andy. Amanda decides that McCrae should form a fake alliance with Helen and Andy. Helen falls for it.

Power of Veto players picked -- Helen, Elissa, Amanda. Andy chooses McCrae to host it. With show fans aboard, they've figured out it might be the numbers counting hold/fold comp. They decide that everyone but Helen will fold so she can last out and Jessie just can't win. Spencer isn't thrilled.

The veto comp is indeed the counting hold/fold done in movie theater style ... BB Movie BLOOD, BOLTS AND BANDAGES! They have to earn three movie tickets. The plan got whupped when Spencer decided to actually play. Andy wins it, making himself happy as he won't have to decide a third nominee and get more blood on his hands.

Veto meeting ... Andy doesn't use it. Spencer and Jessie remain on the block.

If I have to suffer, so do you

The storm clouds have cleared and the habitrail is once again all sunshine and lollipops. Well, not quite. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Rorschach Rejects:

• Did McCrae only bring one pair of socks? A rather ugly bizarre pair at that? If they do the burn clothes thing, his plaid pajama pants and those socks need to go.
• Helen remains very concerned about her actions which may or may not be seen on television. 
• I'm just glad that there are a few people in the house not willing to jump in bed at the first sign of showmance.
• Jessie, after her extended thorny snit the night before and well into yesterday, stopped her tirade.
• Even GinaMarie, the one person Jessie told nice things to, thinks that Jessie looked psycho.
• Jessie, in her now subdued and somber state, told GinaMarie she was bored and depressed. The every day down time and routine on the house is hard for her to take.
• She's said before that she lives for the comps.
• Amanda and McCrae discussed trying to backdoor Helen within the next few weeks.
• No, that's not because of anything Jessie said in her snit.
• There's been talk in both camps about getting each other out for some time now. 
• The big "wedding" for McCrae/Amanda went on as planned.
• Although they had an initial fear that BB would give them a lot of booze and Jessie would act out and crash the party ... neither happened.
• First off, BB only gave them one bottle of wine for the event.
• Oh, my a couple of ounces of wine each!
• The Jessie storm?
• Nope.
• Nada.
• She's over it all. She went around apologizing to people and accepted that she will be voted out on Thursday.
• She even took part in (not as in crashing) the wedding.
• Me? I don't want to ever see another fake wedding in the BB house.
• Do something new and different, hamsters.
• Heh. When Jessie asked Amanda if they will really marry after BB, Amanda told her that McCrae would need to get a better job first.
• I've said all along that this isn't going to work out. McCrae, other than his BB fixation, really has no career ambition and I doubt Amanda will change his ways.
• Andy fussed that the girl's wedding party preparations "girlified" his HoH room.
• Amanda questioned Jessie some more, digging for information.
• Jessie continued to mingle and even Elissa accepted her apology (on the surface, at least).
• She will be voted out tomorrow night.
• No doubt.
• But, at least now, she's in a place where she's accepting it better without going utterly mad.

Hurricane Jessie all worn out

Oh my. I don't even know where to start. Here's the lowdown on what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of 10,000 Maniacs:

• As I mentioned in my last post, Jessie eavesdropped and heard something that she didn't really want to hear.
• While she's been the target this week, they had been assuring her she would stay and was but a pawn.
• She found out that was SO not so.
• So, she's decided to be a hurricane running amok through the house trying to turn everyone on each other.
• The only one she trusts or likes at the time of this posting is GinaMarie.
• @@
• With the exception of damage she did with the Aaryn/GinaMarie relationship, it seems like she's only solidified the McCrae/Amanda/Helen/Elissa camp.
• As the day wore on, the truths she was sprouting got mixed with some lies or exaggerations and the others knew it. 
• Andy is disgusted with all of them because this is exactly what he didn't want to happen.
• Jessie is chain-smoking. Unfortunately, though she is indeed chain-smoking and said she's doing it, she doesn't know the meaning of the phrase. She told Spencer it was smoking when you wanted to. Um, it's actually one after another, hence the word "chain" in there.
• McCrae keeps joking that he wants to tell her he'll vote to save her if she gives him her cigarettes.
• Throughout the day, Jessie deliberately did things to annoy the Have Nots -- Helen, Aaryn and Elissa in particular. She cooked bacon, she loudly smacked food, talked about food.
• It's obvious her original goal was to get McCrae and Amanda to vote to keep her. If she could get them and GinaMarie. That would at least bring it to a tie.
• Amanda is using the situation to keep prying for information.
• But even Amanda is finding that not everything Jessie is saying is indeed the truth and that the truths kind of have to get extracted from the anger exclamations.
• As the tirade/rant/hurricane/whatever continues, Spencer is getting more and more smug.
• While I realize that Jessie, as an underdog, has fans ... overall her social game in the beginning desperately looking for friendship blew her chances.
• She keeps going on about people lying to her. 
• She's in the Big Brother house. What game did she think she was playing? It's known for deceiving, lying, backstabbing and then, upon returning home, it's even worse on the Internet.
• Yes, she probably is too "nice" for this game. That's probably a good thing in the game of life.
• But in the game of Big Brother, it's a shame that she didn't play with a smidgeon of the toughness she's showing now from the beginning.
• Too much, too late.
• Gah. We have two more days of this.

What have I gotten myself into?

Well, it was boring boring until the late evening hours, then all heck broke loose. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Chaotic Crazies:

• Might as well start where the action started -- Jessie told McCrae and Amanda that Helen and Elissa wanted Amanda out.
• Now, if memory serves, Helen never did really outright tell her that. I could be mistaken, though. She's said it to a lot of people. She's also said "down the line" and "eventually."
• I'm almost certain Elissa never said it to Jessie.
• Helen did her usual damage control, saying that Jessie was trying to make her look bad before she left on Thursday.
• Elissa wondered, with Jessie going a bit crazed over this, if she (Jessie) might possibly be on medication.
• That, of course, was the "single most hurtful thing ever said in the house," as per Jessie.
• @@
• She might not know really hurtful!
• Jessie accused Andy of not having her back.
• Andy acted bewildered.
• He does that a lot in stressful situations. He's not used to anyone lashing out at him.
• Although, he was even taken aback by Elissa asking if Jessie was on something.
• Hmm.
• Helen got upset with herself for raising her voice at Jessie. She's not upset for defending herself, but doesn't want to be seen raising her voice on television.
• Um. Okay.
• Aaryn cemented her relationship with Helen. Now she's in almost as sweet a spot as Andy is -- directly peripheral to both power players.
• Amanda believes Helen over Jessie.
• Helen tried to smooth things over with Jessie, telling her she was staying and all.
• Yeah, right.
• Jessie took to eavesdropping.
• When you do that, you often hear things you really don't want to hear.
• Jessie's grave in the house had already been dug, but she's made it much deeper.
• She lashed out and/or accused practically everyone except Spencer of lying to her, betraying her trust, leading her on.
• It's going to be a long two days until eviction.

Is Jessie on meds?

What the heck is with the hair?

I love how some of these gals spend forever popping their pimples and applying make-up, then just shove their hair up in knots. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Messy Locks:

• Heh. Amanda said you don't have to backstab to play the game.
• Yeah, Amanda said it.
• Really.
• Of course, she who hasn't won anything technically has no "blood on her hands."
• BUT ... at other times she's very quick to mention that she (and McCrae) have dictated all the nominations and evictions.
• So, she has backstabbed. Perhaps she wore a disguise, but she did it.
• Jessie feels that Helen perhaps isn't paying her enough attention. She was fussing about Elissa being wishy-washy yet at Helen's side all along while she wanted to work with her.
• Jessie noted that this morning was the first morning with a noticeable change of weather -- it was overcast. She's not used to Southern California.
• Jessie thinks that Aaryn is getting really touchy (not like touchy-feely, touchy as sensitive to things) because she's midweek on slop and it's her (Aaryn's) first time as a Have Not.
• That could be it. She went off on the BB voice in the house which directs them to Diary Room, fix their mics, etc.
• One of the new sayings this year is "Shut it DOWN!" when they're doing something they shouldn't.
• Helen likes to shop at TJ Maxx and Nieman Marcus. Talk about opposites!
• We had trivia -- example below -- while they had the PoV ceremony.
• As expected, Andy did NOT change his nominations.
• Spencer and Jessie remain on the block.
• Jessie remains the target although everyone is acting like she isn't so she won't pout for three days or be crushed.
• Helen said she told Amanda that if she wins HoH, it's too soon to go after anyone other than pawns. 
• Helen considers pawns to be Spencer, (Jessie should be gone), GinaMarie and, to a lesser extent, Aaryn.
• Both Helen and Amanda have talked to Andy about taking each other out.
• He's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
• Oh, what a quandary for everybody's friend!
• In the long run, I think it depends on which power player has the power first and makes the move. If it's Helen, he'll drift to her. He's more loyal to Amanda, but time is dwindling. He'd be happier if Amanda got out Helen, I think.
• Amanda STILL thinks Judd was MVP.
• @@
• McCrae is worried that GinaMarie and Spencer are in an alliance.
• Elissa held a yoga class with GinaMarie. 
• GM did better than I would.
• Mind you, that's not saying much. I'd be horrible at it.

 

Oh, poor little Amanda

Trivia!

Quick. Elissa, throw GM on her face!
