Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Wednesday into Thursday - August 14-15

Put your hair in the air like you just don't care

Most of yesterday was a whole lot of nothing. While it still hasn't been a thrill a minute, here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Foolish Foes:

• Helen pep-talked Elissa, trying to convince her that she (Elissa) can win HoH.
• Of course, that would be perfect for Helen. No blood on her hands!
• Elissa thinks that she (herself) has never been able to bond well with everyone because of the vendetta against her in the beginning of the game due to Rachel.
• She's probably right.
• Both Helen and Elissa think that Jessie's lack of ability as a team player and constant need for affirmation hurt her game.
• Andy says that Jessie is a sinking ship and told Spencer the vote for her to go will be unanimous.
• GinaMarie thinks Jessie is weird.
• I say, "Look in the mirror, GinaMarie!"
• Andy predicted that Jessie will offer someone, in return for staying, that she will throw HoH to them.
• Sure enough, she offered that up to Aaryn, saying she could be nominated again ... just for another week in the house.
• Yep, Aaryn, who had just been saying how she'll never trust Jessie again.
• Jessie then made the same offer to Helen and Elissa.
• No one will take her up on it.
• Jessie cried. She doesn't want to go out "like this."
• Well, that's how the cookie crumbles.
• Always in the game, Amanda told Spencer that Helen is plotting his demise.
• In the game, mind you. Helen isn't a murderer-to-be.
• Amanda also told Spencer she trusts him more than she trusts Aaryn.
• Ha.
• McCrae, hiding any backdoor Helen scenario, told Elissa that Aaryn will have to be backdoored next week.
• Amanda is still ticked about the mystery MVP.
• At midnight the Have Nots could eat. Aaryn and Helen cooked a feast.
• The vote will probably be unanimous again this evening, this time Jessie going out the door.
• Ah, well. Next week is a new week. About the only real wild card left in the house will be Spencer.
• The only truly expendable hamsters between the two power players (Amanda and Helen) will be GinaMarie and Spencer.
• Soon it will come to real power plays.

The socks need to go!

Hands up!

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.
