Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV Winner - August 17

Oh my gosh ... we have a new PoV winner.

ELISSA WON SOMETHING.

To be a bit more clear, she won the Power of Veto. She thinks it's because she wore her sister's colors. It was the Otev comp.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Saturday into the Evening - August 17

Turn that frown upside down! Bouncy, bouncy.

"O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive ..." - Sir Walter Scott. Obviously he had no premonition about the Big Brother house, eh? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Deceptive Dawgs:

• With Elissa and Helen on the block, the plan remains the same -- Helen is the real target but they're telling her Elissa is the target.
• I'm still kind of shocked to see that she's falling for their lies. I thought she was more shrewd than that.
• Aaryn even told Spencer that Helen wanted him out ... that will help secure his vote.
• I don't think anyone would be nervous if they thought Elissa was gunning for them.
• Bwahahaha!
• Andy asked not to be picked if they choose a "houseguest's choice" tile from the PoV players box.
• Hmm ... have we even seen one of those this season? I think not, but my memory might just be bad.
• But then he said he'd go for slop the remainder of the season in PoV if that could send Helen home.
• So, who knows? He either wants to play or not. Fine.
• EWW! Aaryn told GinaMarie that John Mayer was the "Frank Sinatra of our time." Oh, that's just so wrong.
• More trashtalking previous hamsters on and off all day, as well as talking about previous seasons. Yawn.
• Amanda told Elissa that if she (Elissa) wins veto, she can't give it to Helen or they'll vote her (Elissa) out no matter the replacement.
• As if Elissa could even win the veto! And, if she won it, dippy as she is, I think she'd be smart enough to use it on herself.
• However, she (Elissa) is talking about how she wants to leave.
• When Elissa told Amanda that Helen told her that she (Helen) was told she was safe, Amanda said that Helen should use the veto to save her (Elissa) then (if she wins it).
• Follow that?
• Now, if Elissa isn't a complete bobble-head doll, she should realize that she and Helen are being told each other is safe and that Helen is the target.
• Amanda quickly told her that she and McCrae always wanted her (Elissa) to stay.
• @@
• Meanwhile, they now want to convince Helen that Spencer is the target.
• Wake up, dammit, Helen! Smell the coffee and win that veto or you're gone!
• Ahem. That was me virtually trying to shake some awareness into Helen.
• Heh. Spencer told Aaryn that her agency must be getting tons of offers for her. Little do they know ... that just ain't gonna happen!
• The BB voice in the house has a new line: "Houseguests, remember to enjoy yourselves today. These are the good old days."
• Okaaaay ...
• McCrae lied to Helen some more.
• And, she seemed to believe him.
• How could she even think he'd buck the trend, not vote her out and work with her to get rid of Amanda?
• The PoV comp trivia started about 9pm ET. We'll see who wins when the feeds come back.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Friday into the night - August 16

Who woulda thunk she'd still be here?

While it's been a day of activity in the house, not so much here on this end as the feeds get blocked for both the Have Not comp and nominations. Here's the day's happenings inside that Big Brother House of Misanthropic Misfits:

• As I previously mentioned, the 3am Alliance has decided that Helen and Elissa will go on the block. Helen will be told that Elissa is the target and she's only on the block as she would be a vote to keep Elissa.
• What? The HoH? Silly you ... it's the alliances who make the decisions these days, not the HoH! Where have you been? Under a rock?
• That said, Aaryn does personally want Elissa out. But, since Elissa isn't really the target -- said target is Helen -- this is not her decision at all.
• As good as Helen is at playing people, shame on her that she seems to be falling for the lies everyone is telling her. Shame on her. 
• Before the nominations went down, Elissa apologized for her comment about not wanting to sit next to GinaMarie and Aaryn during the live show.
• So ... Aaryn tells her that she (Elissa) isn't the target. The target is Spencer.
• (Personally, I'd rather Spencer or Elissa leaving rather than Helen. I think those two, particularly Elissa, have a lot less game in them than Helen.)
• Amanda told Aaryn that she (Aaryn) needs a vocal coach to strengthen her vocal chords. She needs something. That gurgling almost like it's underwater voice drives me bonkers!
• Amanda told Helen that Aaryn was going to put her (Helen) on the block with Elissa so that Elissa won't be saved with the veto. Amanda said she wasn't sure if the plan was to backdoor Spencer or what.
• Now, Helen is buying all these lies.
• Shame on her. She should know better.
• Helen is leery enough that she went to Aaryn and promised if she won the veto, she wouldn't use it to save Elissa.
• Nope, that ain't gonna work because YOU are the target, Helen!
• All the ongoing lies were put on hold for the Have Not Comp. Woohoo.
• GinaMarie, Elissa, Helen and Amanda are the new Have Nots.
• I'd love to see Spencer and McCrae given a stint with this. Wouldn't you?
• America chose head cheese and habaneros for them. Oh my. If it were me, all I would eat would be the slop!
• They think head cheese is gross.
• So do I.
• Apparently Spencer was the shining star of the comp. Um. Okay.
• Aaryn told Amanda she really wants Spencer out.
• So, nominations time came.
• She nominated Elissa and Helen as per plan.
• Helen's only chance to save her game would be to win the veto.
• We'll see.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds After Hoh Into Friday - August 16

Amanda crying behind the garbage can

Gee, apparently we missed at least one crucial behind the scenes happening during the live show last night. It now gives the green light to put something in motion which was bound to happen anyway. However, now it's easier for the parties involved. What am I talking about? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Tears and Fears:

• What we missed is that Elissa said something about not wanting to sit so close to GinaMarie and Aaryn on the couch for the show. They say she made some kind of comment about not wanting to be associated with "girls like that" or something to that effect.
• Both GinaMarie and Aaryn felt that she was putting them down and acting like she is so much better than them.
• Uh-oh.
• But let's get back to right after the show ended ...
• Both Aaryn and McCrae admitted to trying to throw the comp to Amanda.
• Yet Amanda couldn't win. In her own words, she sucks and isn't good at anything.
• So, she cried.
• She even ran to the storage room and hid behind the garbage can crying.
• She cried even more when McCrae said something about it.
• Elissa thinks she can't win anything.
• So, Elissa cried.
• Helen went around trying to cheer everyone up.
• If she said, "Turn that frown upside down," one more time, I might have screamed.
• Aaryn, once again, isn't particularly happy that she won. She likes being safe, but hates to be the one making nominations.
• The 3am Alliance is going strong -- Amanda, Andy, Aaryn and McCrae.
• Their plan is for Aaryn to put Elissa on the block because of her offending hurtful comment ("can't sit next to these girls" bit) and then, put Helen up with her "as a pawn." 
• They (Aaryn, being stuck with the deed) would tell Helen she was on the block because Elissa was the target and that way she (Helen) wouldn't be in the position of voting her friend out.
• Yeah, right.
• Helen will fall for that.
• I really wish I didn't know Aaryn's beginning of the game with her racial slurs and all. She IS proving to be strong in comps. And, although she's being used by Amanda, at times she's almost likable.
• But, the past and the fact that she has throughout the game let others make her decisions and even affect her behaviors, do her in.
• But I just can't be in her camp because of that. 
• Amanda is SO jealous of Aaryn. She freaked because Aaryn once again sees photos of her family and all.
• @@
• Aaryn did point out to Amanda that whoever stays (of Helen and Elissa) will come after her (Aaryn), not Amanda.
• Hey, that's what Amanda and McCrae want!
• Unfortunately, if Elissa stays, she's not capable of doing much in comps. She's not a Rachel gone wild with fury. She's just a bit ... um ... odd.
• 3am talked of Aaryn making a deal with Spencer just for show -- tell him he's safe this week if he keeps Aaryn safe the next.
• But Spencer's all but off the radar this week with them. 
• They want the blood of HELEN!
• Oh my.
• Aaryn was upset to know people could tweet them (from Julie on the show) and how could "they" know what it's like in the house?
• Heck, we who follow the feeds technically know more about what's going on in the house than most the hamsters as we see all sides of the conversations while they're just privy to their own and rumors.
• No, we don't know what it's like to be IN the house.
• Most of wouldn't want to be there ... especially with this crew!
• When Amanda told Helen that Aaryn's target is Elissa, it must have clicked with her.
• Helen, probably fearing her fate is sealed and that she's a target, turned on the tears once again.
• She's spent so much effort protecting Elissa and she can't do it anymore.
• She's spent so much effort protecting Andy and she can't do it anymore.
• Cry, cry.
• Real tears.
• All to shift the focus off of herself.
• I don't think the tears are working this time.
• Elissa told Helen she just didn't want to sit with Aaryn and GM because she just doesn't like them.
• She claims that only Amanda and Helen knew she said that.
• So, who told the two wayward blondes?
• Probably Amanda, I would think. 
• Helen cried some more, realizing that Aaryn will be siding with McCranda and Elissa isn't any kind of good partner at all.
• Meanwhile, Elissa would just as soon go home.
• But that's not going to happen unless they can't get Helen out due to a veto win.
• The writing is on the wall, Ms. Helen.
• If Helen does indeed survive this, she will be -- in her own words -- amazing.

Big Brother 15: Live Eviction, HoH Show Blog Party - August 15

Even those who don't follow the live feeds probably have a good idea who will be walking out the door tonight. But, who's going to win Head of Household? It's getting near the point that one of the power factions in the house might try to take down a member of the other. We're getting a bit low on expendable players.

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. As always, the real party will be in the comments area. I've heard rumbles that the drinking phrase for this week will be "the house" as in voting with the house, doing what the house wants, etc. I refuse to be held responsible for drunken couch sitting! So, please ... don't fall out of your chairs. If need be, put big pillows around you. ;-)

Okay, nearly a quarter of the show on the Jessie finding out that she's the target thanks to a fight with Helen in which Helen threw her under the bus. Julie promised another "game-changing" announcement before commercial. Jessie eavesdropped and found out EVERYONE lied to her and they're voting her out.

Hurricane Jessie is about to hit the house.

Speeches: Jessie, promises loyalty if she stays, second family, loves all. Spencer -- brother's birthday, amazing dream come true, hopes to stay.

The votes:
Amanda -- Jessie
McCrae -- Jessie
Aaryn -- Jessie
Helen -- Jessie
Elissa -- Jessie
GinaMarie -- Jessie

As expected, it's unanimous, Jessie is out. And, out with class.

HoH comp -- Going way off Broadway, songs used to identify comps, in rounds with a face-off set-up.

GM/Helen -- GM wins, chooses Spencer/Elissa next.
Spencer wins, chooses McCrae and GM.
McCrae wins, chooses Spencer and Aaryn.
Aaryn wins, Amanda and McCrae last two.
McCrae gave it to Amanda, it looks.
Amanda/Aaryn -- AARYN WINS HOH!

Julie tells us a juror will return to the game next Thursday. It sounds like the Survivor bit where they had them compete to return.
