Did GinaMarie bust her butt?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters:

• GinaMarie's lower back is really hurting her after she lugged Judd into the pool. If the HoH comp is physical, this might hurt her chances.
• Her fellow ally boys are a bit worried about that.
• Aaryn packed her bag. 
• Aw, so sad.
• Not.
• I think I might be sad that it's not Amanda going out first.
• Judd has a fear that it's a double eviction again and wants to show people where his stuff is to pack.
• Heh.
• I think we're probably in for another double eviction next week, but not this week.
• Andy's worried about the eviction.
• Again.
• Still.
• Whatever.
• Amanda and Aaryn talked about her speech. Amanda suggested she should say, "At least I'm leaving at the hands of a white person."
• Then they all got doing Asian accents after Amanda mocked Chinese people.
• @@
• GinaMarie told Elissa that Aaryn told her that she should stick with her.
• Well, it's not the best, but at least Elissa is getting people on her side. A few weeks ago all she had was Helen.
• GinaMarie thinks the Zingbot zings might be in the HoH comp.
• Amanda continues to eat constantly. I really don't know she doesn't just explode.
• That would make good TV!
• Aaryn told McCrae that Spencer doesn't trust him.
• She's still dropping little tidbits all over before she goes.
• Aaryn predicts that unless they win HoH, Amanda and McCrae will be on the block every week.
• Well, duh. Of course.
• Elissa and Aaryn had a long talk, mostly about what could have been had Aaryn not fallen in with Amanda.
• GinaMarie protested to Amanda and McCrae about Aaryn saying she was after them.
• At least Aaryn is an equal opportunity pot stirrer if nothing else.
• She's pretty much dropped seeds of discontent all over the house.
• Not so much about Elissa, though. Perhaps because she knows many people in the house already don't like her.
• Ew. The camera just focused on Spencer with his hand down his pants.
• Ew.
• Now I have to go away.

J-U-Double D

Ew, but at least she made him shower

Always eating Amanda, always scheming

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Wednesday into the Evening - August 28

Ohh ... Jenga frenzy excitement

I wish we could come to a happy medium feeds-wise in the house. For a few days there, it was hard to keep up. Today it was hard to not fall asleep. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hazy Hamsters:

• Most napped for most of the day.
• The fish did not nap.
• The fish are coolness.
• While I didn't like the extreme behavior when Amanda was bullying Elissa, now that she's been being nice, it's way boring.
• The Exterminators Alliance -- Spencer, Judd, Andy and GinaMarie -- are determined to get Amanda or McCrae out next week.
• Well, that is unless Amanda or McCrae win HoH.
• Then they'll follow them along like the good little sheep they are.
• Aaryn discovered toys in the storage room -- Jenga with its label blacked out, a deck of cards, a Slinky and a hacky-sack ball.
• Ohhhh.
• Excitement.
• She didn't tell anyone for a long time, but then said she saw them once she joined others in the yard.
• Judd went in to check. Yup.
• Like Aaryn before him, he went looking through the entire deck of cards.
• What do they think? A Get-a-PoV free card is in there?
• Judd found out that the Slinky doesn't work well on a spiral staircase.
• He left the toys in the kitchen and went back out to the yard.
• GinaMarie claimed they were lying when they said there were toys in the storage room.
• No, Judd left them in the kitchen. Not lying at all.
• However, GM still thought it was necessary to punish him for lying and spent much time and effort in pulling him over to the pool to throw him in.
• BB voice told them to stop, but they didn't.
• They should have stopped.
• GM hurt her back messing around wrestling and lugging Judd.
• The rest of the Exterminators lamented that she should realize that she's not that young anymore.
• GAH! When I was her age, I was into some of my most physically active years of my life!
• Aaryn is resigned to leaving, told GinaMarie that Amanda and McCrae must get gone and she herself wants to mend fences with Elissa as to leave on a good note with her.
• The indoor lockdown went into effect at about 5pm their time. It will probably remain so until tomorrow night's show.
• Yawn.

The fish were more lively than the hamsters

Big Brother 15: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 28

Come one, come all ... get ready for the Zingbot. Now, I bet we could have written better material, but it's always fun to see the hamsters fume about the zingers anyway.

A programming note before we start -- tomorrow night it seems like football has taken over much of the CBS primetime block. I'll set up a post prior to tomorrow's live show so people can share any programming information in their areas -- when it's scheduled, if there's an alternate channel. I myself am thankful that here in the Greater NYC Metro area, WCBS bought WLNY out on Long Island and that my cable provider carries it. It's most likely to be found on either channel 10 or 55 if you're in this area. WLNY be airing the CBS primetime shows tomorrow night as WCBS will air football. No more middle of the night not-live shows here! Woohoo!

As the show airs here tonight, I'll post the major happenings in real time. Refresh the page to get the latest! But, as always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Elissa's plan to target Aaryn has morphed into a "Let's backdoor Amanda" plan. She brings in both Judd and Aaryn on it. Of course, Aaryn is for it as it would save her butt. However, veto is still to be played. All just might change.

Time to pick veto players -- Elissa gets Amana (eek), MCrae got GinaMarie, Aaryn got HG choice and chose Judd.

The Zingbot arrives while they're all sleeping.

Time for the PoV comp, a party theme with cake and robots. It's Baby Zingbot's first birthday. They have to roll a ball through a teeter-totter type thing bent in the middle, run to the other side, catch it, roll it again ... to charge "batteries." Judd got really sick from the heat and dropped out. Amanda wins with GinaMarie right on her tail.

Amanda goes onto a path of havoc trying to bully Amanda into putting GM on the block instead of Andy after she saves McCrae with the veto.

Veto meeting time. Amanda saves McCrae. Elissa puts Andy on the block.

Morning meeting

Y'know, it was a lot more interesting to watch when they were all quibbling with each other. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of It's A Long Time Until Thursday Night:

• They all keep thinking a Pandora's Box is due. Hey, there just might not be one. They seem to forget that there was a time that the seasons had no Pandora's Box.
• I'm just wondering when they'll get the dollar store arts and crafts or get to tie-dye t-shirts.
• Now, there's the real excitement every season!
• In the past week or so, the ants have rediscovered the house. I don't know why they waited so long this year.
• Maybe they were afraid of the hamsters.
• Judd and Elissa continue to get along well. A lot of their time talking is spent about Amanda (horrible woman) and McCrae (doesn't take a shower for two weeks), peppered with small talk about television and family.
• On the other hand, Amanda and McCrae spend a lot of their time talking about Judd (can't be trusted) and Elissa (needs to go!).
• Today (well, Tuesday), most of them spent the day either napping or lounging around.
• B-o-r-i-n-g!
• The HoH camera came out and a good time was had by all.
• @@
• Amanda said that it's fun to just laze around and not worry about bills.
• Spencer said it's like living at home with parents.
• Hey, McCrae should feel right at home then!
• Amanda said she feels happier because she took her meds.
• Hmm.
• Andy, knowing he's safe, keeps asking people if he's safe and saying how, of course he's mad at Elissa for putting him on the block.
• Amanda would still like to keep Aaryn for the comp wins and target value, but agrees with McCrae that they never know what she'll do. She's shown that she isn't loyal while Andy has had constant loyalty.
• Spencer and Andy think Judd is only being nice to Elissa as she's HoH.
• While I'm sure that has something to do with it, I've also noticed that he gets very quiet and doesn't take part in it when the others are trash-talking Elissa. 
• I think Judd really doesn't trust anyone and probably thinks that Elissa is the least likely to target him.
• Oh! I was mistaken! McCrae pays all of $100 a month to live with friends. His parents even canceled his phone and stuff.
• Hmm.
• Aaryn keeps trying pretty much anything to convince people that they should keep her.
• Some truths, some lies.
• It's just digging a deeper hole for her to crawl into on Thursday.
• Some of what she's saying sounds like she's saying it to instigate problems between others.
• They got a paltry amount of alcohol -- everyone can drink this week as there are no Have Nots.
• They played beer pong.
• A thrill a minute.
• Amanda put herself in charge of the beer pong.
• Spencer called her a control freak.
• Well, yeah!
• Aaryn told the others that Elissa said Judd is the best-looking man in the house and that Elissa wants Aaryn out because she's jealous of her relationship with Judd.
• @@
• While Judd IS the best-looking guy in the house at this time, it's not like there's much competition going on in that department.
• And, no. Elissa hasn't any interest in that manner towards Judd.
• Amanda ran and told Elissa about it.
• Elissa laughed.
• They all laughed because it kind of shows Aaryn is grasping at straws.
• It could very well be a unanimous vote out of Aaryn on Thursday.
• Nah, not "very well." It will be unanimous.

Woe is me

With grace and elegance

I wonder if he has a security blanket at home

After a few days of manic problems, the hamsters have quieted down now. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Stormy Seas:

• GinaMarie talked about Staten Island.
• McCrae wondered if Nick lived in Times Square.
• @@
• GinaMarie doesn't seem to know much about New York State outside of downstate (which she seems to think is upstate),
• Aaryn tried to convince GinaMarie that if she stays, she'll go after Amanda and McCrae.
• Elissa told GinaMarie not to believe Aaryn.
• Elissa told Aaryn she feels bad for the kind of person she is.
• Oh my.
• McCrae made the attempt to mend fences with Elissa.
• Not because he really feels it deep within (although he's ticked at Amanda's behavior) -- it's all in the game.
• I'm getting almost as tired of him saying "like" every third or fourth word as I am of him chewing on his fingernails all the time. Oh ... and those plaid pajama pants!
• McCrae and Elissa's long talk aired out a lot of the issues between them.
• Of course, now that everyone seems to have accepted Aaryn going home this week, things are a bit easier for all.
• Even Amanda admits she's given up the fight. She felt she should try because Aaryn's done so much for them, but the time came to stop.
• Oh, it did take a while more with Amanda, though.
• She resisted McCrae's coaxing to go talk to Elissa for hours before she buckled.
• McCrae told Amanda that any more acting out on her part will further alienate GM against them.
• Amanda decided her social game is over, it's all about comps now.
• Hmm. She won one so far. 
• Amanda is dead-set against Judd, Elissa or GinaMarie winning the game. She says that she won't vote at the end if it's any of them.
• @@
• Spencer and McCrae trash-talked Aaryn.
• They claim that Aaryn is saying anything she can to stay.
• Well, a lot of what she's saying is the truth and they just don't want her saying it!
• Despite all the anti-Aaryn sentiment, Andy is worried that he might be in for a blindside.
• No, Andy, you're not that important. Everyone knows what you are. 
• Spencer told Judd and Elissa that McCranda needs to be split up.
• D'oh!
• But then he solidified his bond with McCrae. When Spencer says they need to be split up, he means Amanda must go.
• Aaryn again apologized to Judd for her part in getting him evicted.
• Oh, I believe Judd has tucked his grudges away for future reference.
• Judd told Aaryn he doesn't know how he'll vote yet.
• Aaryn said she doesn't want to be blindsided.
• I say -- Hey, Aaryn, when you know it's coming, it's not a blindside!
• NOW Aaryn claims she wants to play on her own, not be Amanda's puppet.
• A bit too late for that!
• Elissa and Amanda had a long, long talk. If you didn't know Amanda like we do from the live feeds, you might feel there was actual remorse and a fresh start between the two.
• But it's all in the game.
• Amanda knows that, strategically, she needs to amend somehow for her outrageous behavior and Elissa pretends to accept it.
• So, it looks like it will be Aaryn out Thursday without a doubt ...

Talking to Amanda, believe it or not

The big apology session

That behavior really wasn't me ... she says.
