Big Brother 15: Nominations, MVP Show Blog Party - 7/02

Hamsterwatchers! Are you ready? Tonight is the nominations show blog party! Come one! Come all!

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. But the real party, as always, is in the comments area. Come join us!

McCrae nominated Candice and Jessie.

Everybody thinks Elissa will be the MVP because of Rachel.

And, yes. America (Rachel fans) chose Elissa for MVP. She tells McCrae, telling him to keep it a secret. She also seeks advice on the nominee. He suggests David. He tells her he will be putting her on the block (because it's what the house wants and he needs to think of his own game) if the veto is used. Then he told her she'd still be safe.

Time to pick players for the veto comp! But, first ... the MVP nomination. The video screen stops on David's photo. So, McCrae randomlypicks - Elissa, Howard.

David is mad. Aaryn cries because he doesn't trust her. She blames him for making her cry in front of the house although HE is the one on the block.

McCrae, getting closer to Amanda, tells her that Elissa won MVP. He told her not to say anything since he's the only one who knows. Elissa keeps lying about it to others.

Veto comp time - The guy from the American Baking Competition is there. Howard says he'll get to see honeys in honey and smiles a lot. They have to go through honey, retrieve blueberry letters out of batter one at a time and spell the longest word they can spell. All are done. Well, except David. He chose too big a word. He's out of time.

The words:
Howard: sailing
Jessie: tumbled
Candice: rafts
David: didn't spell anything
Elissa: pot roast - eliminated - two words
McCrae: delivery

McCrae wins the PoV.

He feels he has to put Elissa on the block to keep himself in good graces with the house. Meanwhile, Nick thinks the Moving Company needs to get rid of David and they can use Elissa's MVP possibilities down the road. McCrae is in a quandary. Poor hamster.

Veto meeting time! McCrae uses the veto to save Candice. He puts Elissa on the block in her place. Told her better for the harmony of the house if she were to go home this week.

McCrae tells US that Elissa is NOT the target and won't be going home this week.

Too sexy for his shirt

Many "news" sources are picking up on the hate speech by some hamsters on the live feeds. Although I don't really think it's a "dumb" show -- I enjoy the behavior studies myself -- I do agree with a lot of what is written in this PBS article. I also think that, with the economy being the way it is, it shouldn't be all that hard to find an older bunch of folks to make for a better mix. There's a lot of laid-off people who could use a $750 a week stipend!

Remember ... the show starts at 9pm ET tonight! The blog party will be ON.

Anyway, here's what's happened so far today inside that Big Brother House of Silly Children:

• Judd, Howard and Spencer talked about the immaturity level of the young'uns.
• But, later in the day, I really enjoyed Helen and Howard's talk. Not only did they come across as adults, the conversation came off as intelligent and insightful.
• When Spencer and Judd talk, while they're definitely not Bieber Fever, they more like a couple of good ol' country boys.
• Nothing really wrong with that, mind you. But it often swings around to the misogynistic.
• Spencer talks about smoking marijuana a lot. I doubt he's talking medicinal. I don't know how his railroad would react. While they say he's a "conductor" for the show bio, he's actually an engineer if he drives the train. Around here, they random drug test engineers. 
• Surprise, surprise ... Jeremy actually tried to console GinaMarie to make her feel better and less homesick.
• To give him a bit of credit, he has seemed sincere in his interactions with Helen after he blew up at her the other night.
• Then Amanda cried. She thinks she's blown what she had with a boyfriend pre-habitral due to her lust, er ... relationship with McCrae.
• @@
• It's like it's just dawning her that they're on national television, not to even mention the internet worldwide.
• Jeremy has no love lost for Elissa even though he's showing his soft side to GinaMarie.
• Howard and Helen had an extensive backyard workout. He did all kinds of athletic crunches and such. Then they ran laps. Helen wore him out. But, then again, he did more exercise before the laps!
• If Helen is in an endurance comp, my money would be on her.
• Aaryn thinks it's funny that so many people have been on the verge of breakdowns.
• Wait until she has one!
• It still looks like David will be evicted tomorrow.

Sleeping in the Have Not Room

All that and a chip ... on his shoulder

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday Night - 7/01-7/02

What's going on?

I know the suspense might be too much. So, I'll let you know right away. No, Nick isn't the house's dog. He doesn't go "woof, woof." They're playing charades.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Rampant Rodents:

• Jessie keeps following Nick around. She thinks she's very likeable and can't understand anyone not wanting to be around her.
• Nutcase, I say.
• GinaMarie's meltdown about her clothes being taken by BB soon went into how rotten her whole life is. She doesn't like her looks. She doesn't like her job. She doesn't like her life. She wants to go home.
• Another nutcase, I say.
• Nick was the poor person listening to much of GinaMarie's meltdown. He might have been better off with Jessie hanging on him.
• Of course, if I were in the house, I'd be a bigger nutcase than either of them. But I'm smart enough to just stay here and mock hamsters.
• McCrae and Amanda are still smooching. I'm still curious what's going to happen when he's no longer HoH. Will she be as interested then?
• They still question Nick's sexuality. Aaryn started the latest by telling David that Nick wanted to sleep with him.
• In actuality, Nick said he'd sleep in David's bed if need be. He didn't say WITH David.
• Jessie thinks people are treating Elissa better than they're treating her.
• How dare they? After all, she's so darn likeable!
• Aaryn told David he should pay attention to the life lessons he learns on the show.
• I'm biting my tongue. 
• Wait until Aaryn goes back out in the real world! David is just a doofus. Aaryn has tossed slurs all around the house. I can't help but wonder what she will learn. Or, IF she will learn.
• Aaryn spent a lot of time telling David that he wasn't the right guy for her in the long run.
• In other words, she might as well have said she's using him.
• Aaryn told GinaMarie that she doesn't like David and just pretends she does.
• @@
• Jessie went on with Elissa about her good looks. Not only is she darn likeable, she's good-looking, too! What a package!
• Then, I ask ... why does she come across as so desperate for attention and friendships?
• Elissa suggested they do charades of movie titles.
• And they did.
• Oh my. The hamsters can be herded.
• Most of the Bieber Fever bunch think Elissa was brought aboard just to screw up the house.
• The MC seems to still be sticking together. But it's getting confusing who might be going home. First, it was clear cut it would be Elissa. Then it was clear-cut it would be David. Now it's getting muddled a bit.
• It should still be David walking out that door Wednesday, though.

Howard, muscles covered

Andy and Spencer, not a showmance

After last night's big brouhahas over really nothing (whether McCrae put a pizza tray in the oven, Jeremy taking extra wine, a squashed cowboy hat), today's been rather quiet. Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:

• Spencer admitted to McCrae he just said "Candice sat on it" on the spot when Aaryn went off about her hat being bent. He has no clue how the hat got bent.
• Jessie is about the only early riser in the house, but most nights the majority of the house is up until almost dawn.
• Jessie doesn't talk to us while she's up alone.
• You'd think McCrae, a superfan, would know we like being talked to. That's one fantastic thing about Evel Dick -- he'd get up early almost every morning and talk to the live feeders.
• The MC bunch think that David is a nice guy, but a very weak player.
• Well. Duh. He came to be on TV with a showmance. That's not a good strategy!
• Half the day was spent talking trash about other players.
• Howard seems to still be getting by without ruffling anyone's feathers.
• He used the gym equipment today. My gosh, you talk about MUSCLES!
• GinaMarie cried and had a huge hissy fit because BB took a lot of the clothes she brought.
• Well, she probably should have taken their rules seriously. They're very strict about clothes with logos. Colleges and states for t-shirts are about the only ones they regularly allow. I recall someone complaining a few seasons back they were told not to bring white.
• The HoH camera came into play today.
• Elissa did her yoga.
• Howard and Jessie had a big bible study session.
• All in all, whole lotta nuthin' goin' on today. 

HoH Camera time

Clueless

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Sunday Night into Monday Wee Hours - 6/30-7/01

Problems ...

Oh my. Bieber Fever is doing themselves in. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Immature Idjits:

• While there was another booze delivery, the house decided to wait until midnight to break into it.
• Why midnight?
• Because the Have Nots were allowed to eat (and drink) then.
• All is hunky-dory, right?
• Nope.
• Aaryn continues to instigate problems in the house. She seems to be at the core of most of the issues.
• Aaryn blames alcohol for her slurs.
• Yeah, right.
• And we thought Elissa was going to be the problem!
• Jeremy snagged a bottle of red wine and drank it with Kaitlin.
• Before midnight.
• Brouhaha!
• Jeremy went drunk boy obnoxious and mouthy.
• Aaryn egged him on.
• Oops. Now Kaitlin feels bad.
• Jeremy went off about Helen targeting him.
• Amanda confronted him at the pool and he told her how great he was.
• He's here to win and they're all going to bow to him!
• Helen cried.
• The Candice sitting on Aaryn's hat thing came up again.
• Kaitlin dragged Jeremy in the house and yelled at him.
• She said that he has just sent David home with his behavior.
• Then Helen talked to him (crying) and said his mother watched his behavior.
• Then he apologized and blamed the booze.
• Meanwhile, Nick says he's going crazy hanging out with the Bieber Fever group.
• Although it was Jeremy with the outburst, it's Aaryn who the others blame.
• The boys are all happy because the girls are all fighting.
• They're thrilled with Jeremy's outburst as, when David goes home, they can refer back to that.
• The plot thickens ...

Poser

Helen cried. :-(
