Big Brother 15: Live Feeds After Nominations, Friday Night into Saturday - August 30-31

Inconsolable. Too bad.

After the rush of excitement, the waters calmed ... a bit. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Tearful Tizzies:

• As I posted in the bulletin, GinaMarie kept true to her plan, putting McCrae and Amanda on the block.
• During her nominations speech (blocked to the live feeds) she said they were a power duo while everyone else was alone in the game. She also said that Amanda took the fire out of McCrae's eyes once he settled in with her.
• I hate to say it because I'm not a GinaMarie fan, but the girl is on a roll with competitions and she's spot on with her nominations and the reasons behind them. Good for her.
• Amanda cried and headed to bed with McCrae ... naturally.
• McCrae actually said hardly anything.
• Perhaps he's thinking about how he might have done as a lone wolf in the game. I don't know.
• It wasn't long before Amanda went wild -- screaming that Judd and Spencer are working with Elissa, it's not FAIR, GinaMarie is DUMB for nominating her, everybody is gonna hate GM ... rant, rant, cry, scream.
• When she confronted GinaMarie in the HoH room, it was kind of funny with two grown chicken men roaming back and forth like winged security guards.
• No one spoke up for Amanda in that brouhaha and GinaMarie held her own on her own just fine.
• As Amanda screamed about how not right the noms were -- when one of them came off the block with the veto, her re-nom will go home, Judd quietly mumbled, "So we all should just pack our bags, right?"
• Like the old song went, she got no satisfaction and went back to crying all over McCrae, first in the Have Not room, then in their bed.
• Now that I've mentioned their bed, I must get this off my chest: No one has ever lived in their bed like McCranda! It's ridiculous. They canoodle constantly, eat, sleep, lounge about in the bed. Heck, I'm surprised they haven't asked for diapers so they can truly live in that poor abused bed!
• Phew. I feel better now.
• I hope BB burns that bed after this season. It's way tainted!
• Amanda is sure she's the target.
• She's not.
• McCrae is GinaMarie's target as she thinks he's more dangerous.
• She's right. It would be better for McCrae to go as, if he were alone, he'd probably team up with Spencer, Judd and Andy or a combination thereof.
• Also, without Amanda dictating the moves of puppet HoH winners, McCrae just might scramble back to his ways at the start of the season when he was honestly in fear he would be voted out.
• With all the Amanda outbursts, I think McCrae thinks if the noms remain the same, it's Amanda out the door, not him. So, in a way, he still feels personally safe this week. In the past he has talked with Spencer about Amanda having to go before him.
• Now, GM's not telling her boys that she fears a hook-up with a boys crew and McCrae.
• Although Elissa isn't a part of the Exterminators, there are mini-deals being made. Spencer told Elissa he'd keep her safe if she did the same for him.
• It's weird to once again see Elissa mingling about the house, probably with more hamsters than she has all season. In the past, she was pretty confined to hanging out with Candice and Helen.
• Amanda went into a fit of feeling sorry for herself and giving up, wanting to go home.
• Oh, save the drama for your mama, Amanda.  It's the premise of the game. You played so many others, it's time for you to get played for a change!
• On a side note, after the "love" is gone, I wonder if McCrae will be singing this tune from his heart over Amanda.
• Throughout all of this, GinaMarie's foot continued to swell from her fall on the stairs Friday morning. Like an idiot, she forced her sore foot into heels for the nominations ceremony.
• Now you have two guys in chicken suits, McCrae in his stupid filthy pajama pants and you need to wear a cute black dress and heels when your toe might be broken?
• @@
• Amanda did go around apologizing to people for her outburst, but she still thinks that GM is being stupid not getting Elissa out.
• McCrae and Amanda then became unwatchable for most of the rest of the night, just hanging out in bed cuddling and crying.
• GinaMarie made up Chicken Parmesan for all.
• I cry CANNIBALISM!
• Amanda had the cojones to ask GM if she and McCrae could have a night in the HoH room. GM said okay.
• Ew.
• @@
• Spencer and Andy will tell Amanda what she wants to hear all week, then vote as planned.
• Andy and Spencer talked about how they feel Elissa shouldn't win because she doesn't need the money.
• @@
• However, Elissa not winning will be part of the Exterminators plan anyway.
• They do want the final four to be their newly minted just in time for the numbers alliance -- GM, Andy, Spencer and Judd.
• There's no Elissa in there, nor an Amanda (or McCrae, but he will go this week unless he wins PoV).
• Amanda gave both McCrae and Andy all kinds of advice for "after she's gone." Don't trust Spencer. Elissa and Judd are the biggest targets.
• Oh, silly girl. You'll be stuck staying! :-)
• I really hate to say this, but if this all goes down as planned this week and the Exterminators stick together, GinaMarie (of all people) just might be deserving of the win.
• Well, if anyone from this season's cast of losers is "deserving" of the win, that is.
• PoV comp will be later today. We'll see what happens. Whatever happens, either McCrae or Amanda is out the door this week.
• Yay.

All we need is Chicken George to join in

It's not FAIR!

BB needs to make a rule about NOT living in beds

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations - August 30

Oh my. It happened.

GinaMarie put Amanda and McCrae on the block.

Amanda is freaking, McCrae is just hanging out in bed.

Make sure you read what's brought this on in my last post. It's kind of scary that GinaMarie's thought process on the nominations is both rational and strategic.

Whole lotta shouting going on!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Friday Daytime - August 30, 2013

Oh, poor little Mandy girl

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bad Examples:

• Apparently (blocked to live feeds), BB actually played The Chicken Dance as wake up music.
• Amanda told Judd she's done with it; she doesn't care anymore.
• Promises, promises.
• Then she went to visit GinaMarie in the HoH room and cry her heart out.
• Amanda said she's going to stay away from Elissa even though she hates her.
• Promises, promises.
• After Amanda left the HoH room, GinaMarie mimed the crying into the cameras, rolled her eyes and made the crazy sign.
• Then GinaMarie almost promptly fell down the stairs.
• Oh my. I didn't know Amanda had THOSE powers!
• GM re-injured her back and jammed a toe.
• Not to be confused with toe jam.
• Ew.
• Soon there was Trivia. Ohhh ... a secret game!
• When the feeds returned, Spencer was popping some balloons and the house was a disaster.
• More of a disaster than usual, that is.
• Confetti and busted balloons all over the place!
• Apparently there were cards and confetti inside the balloons and prizes.
• But the only one who seems to have won anything is Spencer. He won $10,000.
• Amanda wants McCrae to go talk to GM. She can't because she already said it's over, she doesn't care.
• McCrae sees no need to rush to speak with her.
• @@
• He went and asked if she will be speaking with people. She told him later as Andy was due in.
• When she had Andy in the room, GM told him her target is McCrae. She thinks McCrae is more dangerous.
• Oh, yeah ... she will be putting McCrae and Amanda both on the block.
• This should be priceless!
• GM told Andy (and later Spencer) that she is NOT working with Elissa. She's repaying a favor, but Elissa is basically on her own.
• Elissa told her she wants Amanda out.
• That's not exactly surprising, is it?
• GinaMarie is telling her fellow Exterminators (Judd, Andy and Spencer) that if there are rewards in veto, go ahead and go for them.
• She's intending on going for punishments, anything short of shaving her head.
• She did ask Spencer to consider taking one punishment because he does have the money and trip. She thinks McCrae would be going for every punishment to stay.
• Of course, it might not be a reward/punishment comp at all!
• Although they're not seriously considering it will be, GM did mention that if it's a double eviction, they can get two birds with one stone.
• They're in glee that THEY have the numbers this time around, not McCrae and Amanda.
• One will go, no matter what.
• Meanwhile, there's more unrest in the showmance. Amanda sulked and pouted that she didn't care about being there anymore.
• McCrae said something about her attitude and it was on.
• Suuure, they'll get married.
• @@
• Amanda and McCrae want to push for Judd and Elissa to go on the block.
• That's not gonna happen, kiddos!
• Amanda told GinaMarie that if she doesn't put Elissa on the block, EVERYONE is going to be enraged!
• Oh my.
• So far, Judd and Spencer have lied well to McCranda. Andy said something last night about he's worried on of them might go up, but ultimately said he didn't know.
• Amanda thinks the final four should be herself, McCrae, GinaMarie and Andy.
• It could very well be Andy, Spencer, Judd and GinaMarie if they pull this off.
• At least, that second final four is a bit more on an even playing field. In the first scenario, you know the couple intend on being final two if they make it that far.
• Nominations later tonight!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Thursday Night into Friday - August 29-30

Hey chickie, chickie

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Barnyard Animals:

• To recap, GinaMarie won HoH and the chicken suits went to Spencer and Judd.
• I had mistakenly thought that McCrae had been carrying chicken feet when it was orange Converse sneakers -- he was the orange bunny in the comp.
• Oops.
• The feeds were blocked until the comp had ended.
• Now Amanda has two obsessions -- her irrational HATRED for Elissa and what Julie Chen said to her on the live show.
• She seems consumed with her hatred of Elissa and is determined to convince GinaMarie to put her on the block.
• I've never seen anyone quite so obsessed in all the years I've watched the show.
• I'm talking since Season One!
• Amanda thinks everybody is on the same page as her.
• Meanwhile ... Spencer, Andy, Judd and GinaMarie (the Exterminators) are beside themselves with joy and plan to put McCrae and Amanda on the block.
• And, nope ... Elissa, the target of Amanda's hatred, has nothing to do with it.
• But, she's surely along for the vote, I'd say!
• The boys have agreed to protect GinaMarie from McCranda.
• I actually don't think they need to worry so much about McCrae. He's turning out to be the most inept superfan I've ever seen on one of these shows.
• Spencer thinks he's going to make all kinds of money selling his BB stuff on eBay.
• @@
• Whenever they're around Amanda, everybody is just being a bit of a "yes man" to her vitriol over Elissa.
• No sense in stirring the pot before the explosion over nominations.
• Elissa is actually in the dark over this. I think she has hope that GM won't nominate her, but she has no idea that the guys (sans McCrae) are with her. She knows Judd is on their side, but doesn't really know Andy and Spencer are with them.
• Amanda's hatred of Elissa was even more fueled by Julie's questions.
• How DARE they portray Elissa as innocent and her (Amanda) as a bully!?!?!
• Amanda thinks Elissa keeps putting her down.
• @@
• At one time, when Amanda left the room, GM, Andy and Judd all started dancing around again.
• Aaryn had warned Amanda that GM would work with Elissa and put her (Amanda) on the block as a target.
• Guess what, Amanda? Aaryn was honest about that one!
• Amanda told GM that she needs to put up Elissa and either Judd or Spencer with her.
• Amanda is STILL sure that Judd was the MVP putting her on the block!
• Oh, silly little mean girl.
• The chicken suits shed. 
• I didn't know the dollar store made chicken suits, did you?
• BB gave them alcohol. I wonder how much they'll get after the nominations go down.
• Amanda told Elissa she's going on the block.
• Elissa laughed at her.
• That really irritates Amanda.
• Aww.
• Keep it up Elissa!
• (Actually, Elissa is getting very upset at the continued bullying.)
• Amanda thinks Elissa is picking on HER.
• Oh, geez.
• Amanda's behavior has McCrae trying to calm her down. He told her that GM doesn't like that kind of thing.
• No one does. It's whacked.
• McCrae told Amanda not to let Elissa bully her and to play the victim to GM.
• @@
• What world are these people living in?
• Not mine, I hope!
• Elissa thought Jessie's tirade at her was funny and not harmful, but Amanda's is hate-filled and cruel.
• Yup.
• In her HoH room, GinaMarie got another photo of Nick.
• Run, Nick, run!
• Her letter was from her mother, though.
• Spencer likes GM's HoH goodie basket better than Elissa's. GM's is full of junk food while Elissa's was mostly healthy foodstuffs.
• Amanda told GM that Elissa made her cry.
• @@
• Amanda spent the latter part of the night after the HoH room reveal crying.
• Oh, my heart goes out to her, doesn't yours?
• Heehee!
• Judd is fussing and whining more about his chicken suit than Spencer is. He says it's all hot and sweaty.
• Judd was very worried about coming back into the house with everyone still sucking up to McCrae and Amanda.
• Amanda told Elissa that she (Elissa) keeps bullying her (Amanda).
• Elissa walked away.
• Amanda chased after her chastising her for bullying poor little Amanda.
• @@
• Oh, shrink, please! We have a spill in aisle one!
• To placate her, GM told Amanda that Elissa has been her target since the first week.
• A few minutes later, GM laughed with Andy about how Amanda is playing the victim. Andy warned her not to fall for the act. She said she doesn't.
• The girl ain't too bright, but GM does have Amanda down.
• I do think that GM will stick to her guns and put up McCranda.
• Woot.
• We'll see tonight!

Gonna be a long two days, gonna be a long week

He's all ears

This seems fitting

Big Brother 15: HoH Endurance Comp Live Feeds -- August 29

Once the live feeds return, I'll update this entry with well, um ... UPDATES and screen caps from the live feeds. As I get it posted, the feeds are still blocked.

10:10pm ET - Feeds still blocked. Remember to refresh this page to get the latest news. Er, but not right now as the feeds are still blocked.
10:15pm ET - Still blocked.
It's really sad that I know the answers to all of the trivia questions. Is there a 12-Step Program for me?
10:22pm ET - Still blocked.
10:30pm ET -- Feeds still blocked. Grr!

FEEDS BACK, COMP OVER

GINAMARIE IS WEARING THE HOH KEY! 
 McCrae is carrying chicken feet.

McCrae is shaving ... in anticipation of a beak maybe? Judd might be the other chicken.

• Amanda thinks she can control GM's nominations.
• Meanwhile, GM is hugging Judd and Andy in the storage room. 
• I believe I'm mistaken -- I think that it's Judd and Spencer in chicken suits, NOT McCrae.

Julie apparently did push Amanda's buttons. She claims that now she "knows how she's being portrayed."

Amanda vows to be "on" GinaMarie until the nominations. I hope GM sticks to her guns.
