Big Brother 15: PoV Show Blog Party - Sept. 4

Are you ready to party? As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings in real time. Refresh the page to get the latest news!

But, as always, the real party is in the comments area -- come join us!

We like snacks.

Amanda is on a rant. Oh. Okay. I'm not sure how newsy that is! Meltdown time.

Veto players pick -- GM gets Elissa, Amanda gets Houseguest's Choice and picks Spencer, McCrae gets Andy.

The veto comps have them in tutus with bowling lanes. They have to challenge each other in head to head matches. Amanda chooses Elissa to challenge. Amanda beat Elissa in the first round. Andy chose Amanda to challenge. Amanda wins, Andy eliminated. GM chooses Amanda. Amanda wins, GM out. McCrae chooses Spencer. McCrae wins, Spencer out. It's McCrae vs. Amanda. Whoa! McCrae JUST won it by a second! BTW -- I didn't mention they had to spin first before bowling.

Veto Meeting time -- He actually lets Amanda do a speech. She cries. She says she won't ask him to use it on her. McCrae saves himself. All he says to Amanda is, "I'm sorry." GM puts Spencer on the block in his place.

Going over to the dark side

Oh my. My apologies for my lack of posting last night! I came home from work, caught up on the happenings (all were napping), so I decided to take a nap myself as I'm totally exhausted these days. Gah. I slept ten hours! I do know I needed the sleep as I've been running on empty between my day job and BB coverage, but I really didn't want to sleep that long! So, now I've been up for a few hours, flipping through the flashback on the live feeds and catching up. And, here you go ... the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Losers and Louts:

• When I last left you, McCrae had suggested to Amanda that she work on working with Elissa for the vote. Of course, they're sure they have Andy. So if they can get Elissa, Amanda would stay (as far as they know).
• Elissa drank the Kool-Aid.
• While she announced it shortly after a Diary Room session, going back in flashback, it is McCrae's idea.
• In a way, although they have no clue about the Exterminators, it's the best move for Elissa right now. If Amanda stays (in their thinking, she will), they'll have a strong alliance of four (because they think Andy is aboard). 
• Now, it's likely that Amanda will actually go.
• But even then, she'd have McCrae to work with and they think Andy.
• I give her credit for agreeing to work with someone that has caused her so many problems, but I couldn't do it. Someone who bullied and hated on me so much? I couldn't work with them! Not even for a half-million dollars.
• Of course, Elissa also doesn't like Spencer. So if she votes him out, that will work for her, too.
• Meanwhile, on the Exterminator front, Spencer and Andy have grown real tight. They plan to knock out Amanda, Elissa, GinaMarie and Judd ... not necessarily in that order.
• Andy knows if he's in a final two with Spencer, he's likely to get the win.
• A lot of napping and laundry was done all day. Yawn. That's what I came home to from work.
• GinaMarie got the HoH camera and went wild with it.
• Elissa and Amanda traded their rings on their deal.
• In their deal, Elissa will be protected if it's a double eviction.
• Hmm ... they don't realize that only McCrae and Elissa will be vying for that, do they?
• Elissa might not do that well if it's physical. She's complaining that her leg has nerve pain, thinks she might need surgery because she CANNOT HAVE PAIN in the line of business (the yoga).
• Huh. What's she going to do when she gets older and has real pain?
• She thinks it's from sleeping on the airplane seats during Have Nots.
• She claims she will outright refuse to do it if they have Have Nots again.
• @@
• Elissa thinks Andy might be shady. She thinks he's telling GM things about them.
• Amanda insists that he's loyal.
• Ha.
• Amanda and Co. keep confiding in Andy. But he is indeed running and telling the Exterminators -- the opposite of what he was doing in the beginning of the game. He's not saying anything about the Exterminators to Amanda and Company.
• So, I do think his loyalty to Amanda and Company is in the past.
• Judd made an attempt to play it like he's willing to work with McCrae.
• Amanda asked Andy to give her his organ shirt as collateral that he'll vote for her to stay.
• He did.
• At least she didn't ask for his cat shirt!
• Amanda profusely apologized to Elissa for all her vileness.
• Elissa forgave her.
• @@
• Here's where I would think too personal to play the game. I'd think "Off with her head!"
• Meanwhile, back at the Exterminators, Spencer is worried about solid Judd may or may not be with them.
• Andy insists Judd will vote out Amanda.
• Judd, who really was working on working with Elissa on the side, is really ticked off about her switching to the dark side.
• And on it goes.
• I guess we won't know until tomorrow night. But I'd say it's going to be a tie and GM will cast out Amanda.
• As for the second eviction? It's anyone's game.
• Now I must nap again.

Sleep all day ... a part of the night, too.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday Evening into Tuesday - Sept. 2-3

Elissa tells Amanda she wants her to stay

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of What the Hell is She Thinking?:

• Judd has pretty much let it known that he's closer to Spencer than he is to Amanda. 
• Even so, McCrae told him he'd be willing to work with him (Judd) if he voted Amanda out.
• When Elissa told Amanda that she was very dramatic today (as opposed to other days?), Amanda told her she was depressed because of the veto ceremony.
• Oh, yeah. Her beloved just said, "I'm sorry." -- as he saved himself from the block and left her up there.
• Amanda also claimed she hasn't been taking her meds.
• Hmmm.
• Elissa and McCrae had a long, long talk. It was their first game talk of the season.
• McCrae thinks he's tainted by his association with Amanda.
• More than tainted, I say!
• Neither think Spencer can win at the end as he hasn't won anything all season (well, a veto).
• Uh-oh. They're bonding.
• McCrae told her that after Amanda goes, he's going to be on a clean slate and will be fair with everyone.
• He told her that they're both worried about a double eviction, so if she could vote with him and Andy, they could save Amanda. Then they'd have more votes (and, thus, power).
• Uh-oh.
• Now, Elissa's too smart to fall for that. Right?
• Right?
• GAH!
• She went and told Amanda that she wants to work with her, trusts her more than she does Spencer or GinaMarie!
• Where is this woman's mind?
• Then, thinking as McCranda does, that Andy is still with them, she told Andy.
• Andy told the rest of his Exterminators.
• Oh my.
• Even if it's a two-two tie, GM will have the tiebreaker.
• Andy says he'll try to frame Elissa for the second vote to keep Spencer.
• Of course, it is Elissa.
• She can be flaky.
• Let's see how she feels closer to eviction time.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds, PoV Meeting, Monday into the Evening - Sept. 2

Did GM get a raise? Oh. Her hair did.

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

• The PoV Meeting was fairly early.
• As expected, McCrae saved himself and GinaMarie put Spencer on the block as the replacement.
• Remember, Spencer volunteered to be up there, so no betrayal on the part of GM.
• Amanda freaked and fussed because all McCrae said in his speech was that he's sorry.
• @@
• Amanda and McCrae curled up in bed for a good part of the rest of the day.
• In between cuddling and canoodling, she fussed about his speech.
• He's been even more quiet than usual.
• She said (over and over again) that she loved him.
• He said, "Mmm."
• She's still trying to work the angles. She thinks she needs Judd's vote only to stay in.
• She has no clue that the Exterminators exist.
• She thinks Judd is working with Elissa, GM is working with Elissa (but not with Judd and Elissa) and that she and McCrae have Andy and Spencer.
• What part of the day they didn't spend napping, the Exterminators sat around discussing grand plans and how whacked and clueless Amanda is.
• Elissa sunned.
• Elissa made chicken and dumplings for dinner as Judd said it's his favorite dish. Andy never had chicken and dumplings before.
• Although she so likes to trashtalk Elissa, Amanda surely helped herself to the dinner!
• It actually did look pretty good.
• Mmmm ...
• Spencer volunteered to wash the dishes.
• Wow.
• A thrill a minute.

Typical of today's excitement

J-U-Double D

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday - Sept. 1-2

It's not FAIR! GM is SO stupid!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Amanda's Last Stand(a):

• Well, I can only HOPE it will be her last. I'm tired of hearing the same rants over and over again.
• Andy and Spencer don't particularly trust Judd but are willing to see what happens when the Exterminators hit the final four.
• They both think that everyone overestimates Judd, thinking he's some kind of mastermind of the game.
• I do think Judd's game-sense is a bit overestimated. However, his strength lies in the fact that he usually knows when to keep his mouth shut. Sure, he opened it and made himself a bit of a fool when he suggested McCrae save Amanda. But, overall, he has a quieter way of playing than most.
• Which is great because he mumbles so much!
• Amanda kept at campaigning for Elissa to go up as the replacement nominee. It's her new obsession.
• GinaMarie listens sympathetically, yet sticks to her guns. 
• As she promised to tell McCranda whether she'll put up Elissa as the re-nom or not by 10 or 11 on Sunday night, she told them.
• She will NOT be putting Elissa up. 
• Ha!
• GM refused to tell them who she will be putting up, but Amanda guessed (correctly) Spencer.
• Her case is that all will be against GM if she (Amanda) goes home.
• Nope.
• The only one who might be mad would be McCrae.
• Watching his body language, I think he just might think it's best for his own game that Amanda go. He knows that the power duo would have to go in the past. And, unless he and Amanda made it as far as the final three and won, they'd take the game.
• GinaMarie's theory is solid -- it does level out the playing field if everyone is technically on their own. Even the Exterminators basis is founded on that theory.
• GM denied over and over that she's working with Elissa.
• She was telling the truth. She's cooperating with Elissa in this nomination because it's more vital to her game to break up McCranda.
• After that, Elissa and McCrae remain her targets. Which one would she target first? Whichever she can. Same with the rest of the Exterminators ... even though the guys want out Elissa first.
• One of the many reasons Amanda doesn't want to go yet is because the experience is life-changing for her.
• We can only hope.
• McCrae told Spencer he's sure that it's over for Amanda this week.
• He's right.
• One of the many times that Amanda pleaded her case to GM, GM brought up the fact that Amanda wanted her on the block with Aaryn so that Aaryn would stay last week.
• Oopsie. Amanda just went on a different tangent.
• Amanda blames her own demise in the game on Elissa winning HoH and Judd returning to the game.
• Well, then she should have won HoH then, right?
• That's the game of BB ... if you want control, it's best to win comps. It's amazing that Amanda was able to have control of puppets so long so far.
• Dr. Will did that, but people honestly liked him, didn't fear his wrath.
• When you rule by fear, there will be a coup sooner or later.
• And I'm not talking a BB-planned coup d'etat.
• By the end of the night, Amanda seemed to accept she's going. It didn't take McCrae as long to figure it out.
• So, later today, it's fully expected that McCrae will save himself. Unbeknown to McCranda, Spencer has volunteered to go on the block as the re-nom so there will be no anger about him going up.
• Come Thursday, Amanda will be gone. 
• Bells will ring and small children will sing.
