Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Late Night Saturday into Sunday - August 17-18

Aw, poor pitiful GinaMarie

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Better Them Than Us:

• Of course, none of us would be foolish enough to make fools of ourselves on national television and the Internet for three months with a slight possibility of winning a rather (in the long run) paltry sum.
• In my last little bulletin, I made the announcement that Elissa won the PoV comp and that it was this season's Otev variation.
• For those questioning the comp, it's the one in which a god type entity gives a clue about hamsters who have left this season, they all scramble down a ramp and search for whatever form the answer is (doll, disc, etc.) and return up the ramp with it. The slowest (or wrong) one in each round is eliminated. 
• It can get pretty cut-throat.
• And, apparently Elissa got to the ruthless point.
• Well, good for her. 
• Helen did her happy dances and seems genuinely thrilled for Elissa.
• Now, she thinks that Spencer will be put on the block in Elissa's place, he's the target and she (Helen) is safe.
• Um, that's not quite the plan.
• Yes, they plan to put Spencer on the block. But, no. He's not the target.
• GinaMarie is in a world of self-pity. Naturally, she's disgusted that Elissa won. That would go without saying.
• But she's even more upset that they didn't have any NICK questions in the comp, yet had Jessie and Judd questions.
• BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
• She thinks the producers slighted Nick and is more upset about that than the fact that her hated nemesis won the comp?!?! Is she for realz? (As the Staten Islanders would say.)
• This season's Otev comp has left them all with bruises and scrapes.
• Poor hamsters.
• All of them, except GinaMarie, have been going on about great Elissa did in the comp.
• Amanda thinks Elissa is more dangerous than Spencer and if she (Elissa) gets HoH, they need to make sure she targets Spencer.
• Aaryn thinks that Spencer is more dangerous than Elissa and he must go next week.
• Spencer pointed out to the others that he was hoping to vote this week for the first time in weeks. They laughed at him.
• They apparently (or some of them) got love letters from Otev and GM is upset she didn't get one from Nick.
• @@
• Aaryn said she's angry at Helen. When Amanda asked her why, Aaryn said it's because Helen says she (Aaryn) is working with them (Amanda, McCrae, etc.). She is, of course. Even Amanda found the "angry" funny.
• It's sad to see Helen has bought all the lies hook, line and sinker. She really thinks both she and Elissa will stay in the game and Spencer will go home this week.
• She's dead wrong.
• And, even though Elissa was talking about self-eviction this past week and on occasion before, I doubt that will happen. 
• GinaMarie cried, then went to the Have Not room to try to sleep.
• Aaryn laughed at McCrae because he was upset that he made a rather homophobic comment with her influence and he doesn't want people to think he's homophobic. She said she no longer cares what people think and they can slap any label on her.
• No worries there, Aaryn. They have! And it's all because of your own words and actions.
• Aaryn thinks the people who watch or follow the live feeds spout things out of context and are mean.
• Heh.
• McCrae told her that the online world is part of his own world and he knows when it's wrong to say something.
• Amanda thinks McCrae must be the most politically correct person in the world.
• Er, no. But he has been a lot more wise about what he says online. 
• Then again, he got into a huge showmance with the biggest villain in the house. If he loses the game, he will be mocked in BB circles forever. If he wins, everyone will call it shrewd gameplay.
• Aaryn might be surprised sooner rather than later to find that she's low person on the totem pole of the 3am Alliance. McCrae/Amanda will dump her before they get rid of Andy.
• Oh my.

He has THOSE socks on, biting his nails again

Bound to be block-bound again

Looking squirmy nervous a lot

Ms. PoV Winner

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.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Wednesday into Thursday - August 14-15

Put your hair in the air like you just don't care

Most of yesterday was a whole lot of nothing. While it still hasn't been a thrill a minute, here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Foolish Foes:

• Helen pep-talked Elissa, trying to convince her that she (Elissa) can win HoH.
• Of course, that would be perfect for Helen. No blood on her hands!
• Elissa thinks that she (herself) has never been able to bond well with everyone because of the vendetta against her in the beginning of the game due to Rachel.
• She's probably right.
• Both Helen and Elissa think that Jessie's lack of ability as a team player and constant need for affirmation hurt her game.
• Andy says that Jessie is a sinking ship and told Spencer the vote for her to go will be unanimous.
• GinaMarie thinks Jessie is weird.
• I say, "Look in the mirror, GinaMarie!"
• Andy predicted that Jessie will offer someone, in return for staying, that she will throw HoH to them.
• Sure enough, she offered that up to Aaryn, saying she could be nominated again ... just for another week in the house.
• Yep, Aaryn, who had just been saying how she'll never trust Jessie again.
• Jessie then made the same offer to Helen and Elissa.
• No one will take her up on it.
• Jessie cried. She doesn't want to go out "like this."
• Well, that's how the cookie crumbles.
• Always in the game, Amanda told Spencer that Helen is plotting his demise.
• In the game, mind you. Helen isn't a murderer-to-be.
• Amanda also told Spencer she trusts him more than she trusts Aaryn.
• Ha.
• McCrae, hiding any backdoor Helen scenario, told Elissa that Aaryn will have to be backdoored next week.
• Amanda is still ticked about the mystery MVP.
• At midnight the Have Nots could eat. Aaryn and Helen cooked a feast.
• The vote will probably be unanimous again this evening, this time Jessie going out the door.
• Ah, well. Next week is a new week. About the only real wild card left in the house will be Spencer.
• The only truly expendable hamsters between the two power players (Amanda and Helen) will be GinaMarie and Spencer.
• Soon it will come to real power plays.

The socks need to go!

Have Nots feeding frenzy

Last minute scrambling

Hands up!

Big Brother 15: PoV Show Blog Party - August 14

Yeah, yeah ... I know we already know (at least those who follow the live feeds), but it should be fun to watch anyway. Or, at least the party here can be fun even if the show isn't! As it airs, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest!

As always, if you're here for the party, head to the comments!

The 3am alliance is formed -- Aaryn, Andy, Amanda and McCrae. Helen is finally getting worried about Andy. Amanda decides that McCrae should form a fake alliance with Helen and Andy. Helen falls for it.

Power of Veto players picked -- Helen, Elissa, Amanda. Andy chooses McCrae to host it. With show fans aboard, they've figured out it might be the numbers counting hold/fold comp. They decide that everyone but Helen will fold so she can last out and Jessie just can't win. Spencer isn't thrilled.

The veto comp is indeed the counting hold/fold done in movie theater style ... BB Movie BLOOD, BOLTS AND BANDAGES! They have to earn three movie tickets. The plan got whupped when Spencer decided to actually play. Andy wins it, making himself happy as he won't have to decide a third nominee and get more blood on his hands.

Veto meeting ... Andy doesn't use it. Spencer and Jessie remain on the block.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Tuesday Evening into Wednesday Dawn - August 13-14

If I have to suffer, so do you

The storm clouds have cleared and the habitrail is once again all sunshine and lollipops. Well, not quite. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Rorschach Rejects:

• Did McCrae only bring one pair of socks? A rather ugly bizarre pair at that? If they do the burn clothes thing, his plaid pajama pants and those socks need to go.
• Helen remains very concerned about her actions which may or may not be seen on television. 
• I'm just glad that there are a few people in the house not willing to jump in bed at the first sign of showmance.
• Jessie, after her extended thorny snit the night before and well into yesterday, stopped her tirade.
• Even GinaMarie, the one person Jessie told nice things to, thinks that Jessie looked psycho.
• Jessie, in her now subdued and somber state, told GinaMarie she was bored and depressed. The every day down time and routine on the house is hard for her to take.
• She's said before that she lives for the comps.
• Amanda and McCrae discussed trying to backdoor Helen within the next few weeks.
• No, that's not because of anything Jessie said in her snit.
• There's been talk in both camps about getting each other out for some time now. 
• The big "wedding" for McCrae/Amanda went on as planned.
• Although they had an initial fear that BB would give them a lot of booze and Jessie would act out and crash the party ... neither happened.
• First off, BB only gave them one bottle of wine for the event.
• Oh, my a couple of ounces of wine each!
• The Jessie storm?
• Nope.
• Nada.
• She's over it all. She went around apologizing to people and accepted that she will be voted out on Thursday.
• She even took part in (not as in crashing) the wedding.
• Me? I don't want to ever see another fake wedding in the BB house.
• Do something new and different, hamsters.
• Heh. When Jessie asked Amanda if they will really marry after BB, Amanda told her that McCrae would need to get a better job first.
• I've said all along that this isn't going to work out. McCrae, other than his BB fixation, really has no career ambition and I doubt Amanda will change his ways.
• Andy fussed that the girl's wedding party preparations "girlified" his HoH room.
• Amanda questioned Jessie some more, digging for information.
• Jessie continued to mingle and even Elissa accepted her apology (on the surface, at least).
• She will be voted out tomorrow night.
• No doubt.
• But, at least now, she's in a place where she's accepting it better without going utterly mad.

Big brother 15: Live Feeds Tuesday into the Evening - August 13

Hurricane Jessie all worn out

Oh my. I don't even know where to start. Here's the lowdown on what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of 10,000 Maniacs:

• As I mentioned in my last post, Jessie eavesdropped and heard something that she didn't really want to hear.
• While she's been the target this week, they had been assuring her she would stay and was but a pawn.
• She found out that was SO not so.
• So, she's decided to be a hurricane running amok through the house trying to turn everyone on each other.
• The only one she trusts or likes at the time of this posting is GinaMarie.
• @@
• With the exception of damage she did with the Aaryn/GinaMarie relationship, it seems like she's only solidified the McCrae/Amanda/Helen/Elissa camp.
• As the day wore on, the truths she was sprouting got mixed with some lies or exaggerations and the others knew it. 
• Andy is disgusted with all of them because this is exactly what he didn't want to happen.
• Jessie is chain-smoking. Unfortunately, though she is indeed chain-smoking and said she's doing it, she doesn't know the meaning of the phrase. She told Spencer it was smoking when you wanted to. Um, it's actually one after another, hence the word "chain" in there.
• McCrae keeps joking that he wants to tell her he'll vote to save her if she gives him her cigarettes.
• Throughout the day, Jessie deliberately did things to annoy the Have Nots -- Helen, Aaryn and Elissa in particular. She cooked bacon, she loudly smacked food, talked about food.
• It's obvious her original goal was to get McCrae and Amanda to vote to keep her. If she could get them and GinaMarie. That would at least bring it to a tie.
• Amanda is using the situation to keep prying for information.
• But even Amanda is finding that not everything Jessie is saying is indeed the truth and that the truths kind of have to get extracted from the anger exclamations.
• As the tirade/rant/hurricane/whatever continues, Spencer is getting more and more smug.
• While I realize that Jessie, as an underdog, has fans ... overall her social game in the beginning desperately looking for friendship blew her chances.
• She keeps going on about people lying to her. 
• She's in the Big Brother house. What game did she think she was playing? It's known for deceiving, lying, backstabbing and then, upon returning home, it's even worse on the Internet.
• Yes, she probably is too "nice" for this game. That's probably a good thing in the game of life.
• But in the game of Big Brother, it's a shame that she didn't play with a smidgeon of the toughness she's showing now from the beginning.
• Too much, too late.
• Gah. We have two more days of this.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Into Tuesday - August 13

What have I gotten myself into?

Well, it was boring boring until the late evening hours, then all heck broke loose. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Chaotic Crazies:

• Might as well start where the action started -- Jessie told McCrae and Amanda that Helen and Elissa wanted Amanda out.
• Now, if memory serves, Helen never did really outright tell her that. I could be mistaken, though. She's said it to a lot of people. She's also said "down the line" and "eventually."
• I'm almost certain Elissa never said it to Jessie.
• Helen did her usual damage control, saying that Jessie was trying to make her look bad before she left on Thursday.
• Elissa wondered, with Jessie going a bit crazed over this, if she (Jessie) might possibly be on medication.
• That, of course, was the "single most hurtful thing ever said in the house," as per Jessie.
• @@
• She might not know really hurtful!
• Jessie accused Andy of not having her back.
• Andy acted bewildered.
• He does that a lot in stressful situations. He's not used to anyone lashing out at him.
• Although, he was even taken aback by Elissa asking if Jessie was on something.
• Hmm.
• Helen got upset with herself for raising her voice at Jessie. She's not upset for defending herself, but doesn't want to be seen raising her voice on television.
• Um. Okay.
• Aaryn cemented her relationship with Helen. Now she's in almost as sweet a spot as Andy is -- directly peripheral to both power players.
• Amanda believes Helen over Jessie.
• Helen tried to smooth things over with Jessie, telling her she was staying and all.
• Yeah, right.
• Jessie took to eavesdropping.
• When you do that, you often hear things you really don't want to hear.
• Jessie's grave in the house had already been dug, but she's made it much deeper.
• She lashed out and/or accused practically everyone except Spencer of lying to her, betraying her trust, leading her on.
• It's going to be a long two days until eviction.

She claims he has a unibrow

You might not want to hear, Jessie

Is Jessie on meds?

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Monday Daytime, PoV Ceremony - August 12

What the heck is with the hair?

I love how some of these gals spend forever popping their pimples and applying make-up, then just shove their hair up in knots. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Messy Locks:

• Heh. Amanda said you don't have to backstab to play the game.
• Yeah, Amanda said it.
• Really.
• Of course, she who hasn't won anything technically has no "blood on her hands."
• BUT ... at other times she's very quick to mention that she (and McCrae) have dictated all the nominations and evictions.
• So, she has backstabbed. Perhaps she wore a disguise, but she did it.
• Jessie feels that Helen perhaps isn't paying her enough attention. She was fussing about Elissa being wishy-washy yet at Helen's side all along while she wanted to work with her.
• Jessie noted that this morning was the first morning with a noticeable change of weather -- it was overcast. She's not used to Southern California.
• Jessie thinks that Aaryn is getting really touchy (not like touchy-feely, touchy as sensitive to things) because she's midweek on slop and it's her (Aaryn's) first time as a Have Not.
• That could be it. She went off on the BB voice in the house which directs them to Diary Room, fix their mics, etc.
• One of the new sayings this year is "Shut it DOWN!" when they're doing something they shouldn't.
• Helen likes to shop at TJ Maxx and Nieman Marcus. Talk about opposites!
• We had trivia -- example below -- while they had the PoV ceremony.
• As expected, Andy did NOT change his nominations.
• Spencer and Jessie remain on the block.
• Jessie remains the target although everyone is acting like she isn't so she won't pout for three days or be crushed.
• Helen said she told Amanda that if she wins HoH, it's too soon to go after anyone other than pawns. 
• Helen considers pawns to be Spencer, (Jessie should be gone), GinaMarie and, to a lesser extent, Aaryn.
• Both Helen and Amanda have talked to Andy about taking each other out.
• He's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
• Oh, what a quandary for everybody's friend!
• In the long run, I think it depends on which power player has the power first and makes the move. If it's Helen, he'll drift to her. He's more loyal to Amanda, but time is dwindling. He'd be happier if Amanda got out Helen, I think.
• Amanda STILL thinks Judd was MVP.
• @@
• McCrae is worried that GinaMarie and Spencer are in an alliance.
• Elissa held a yoga class with GinaMarie. 
• GM did better than I would.
• Mind you, that's not saying much. I'd be horrible at it.

 

Oh, poor little Amanda

Quick. Elissa, throw GM on her face!

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Sunday Night Late - August 11-12

Stuck with GinaMarie

Not a heck of a lot has gone down since my last report. But, anyway, here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Woeful Willies:

• Helen again said she thinks that GinaMarie will be America's Favorite.
• Andy thinks GM will be portrayed as nuts and not win the honor.
• He's more right than Helen. Even with the more favorable editing on the show than actuality of the live feeds, she comes across as a whacko.
• Helen and McCrae talked of never understanding what Howard meant when he spoke. He did tend to speak in circles and metaphors.
• Aaryn thinks Spencer is sketchy. 
• Andy pointed out that Spencer has no allies, so has little power to use his sketchiness.
• Spencer told GinaMarie that he trusts Andy.
• Um. Okay.
• Andy has a gut feeling that America was the latest MVP and that Amanda is being portrayed as a villain.
• Bingo!
• Although, there's no need to "portray" her as a villain ... she is one!
• Amanda and McCrae's fake wedding is set for tonight.
• Andy won't give them the HoH room.
• Good.
• Andy talked of two men being in love and Aaryn said that was "disgusting."
• @@ 
• Doesn't Aaryn realize that love is (or should be) the major component of ANY relationship?
• GinaMarie said she asked the Diary Room if she could beat up Candice in the jury house.
• They told her, "NO."
• I dunno. I bet Candice just might be able to do a job on GM.
• Not that I'm promoting fisticuffs, of course.
• The newly named ex-Goof Troop, now 3am Alliance, talked of various scenarios to get Helen out. 
• That would be Andy, Aaryn, McCrae and Amanda.
• Helen wonders if Jessie might have deals set with someone as she seems too happy.
• Maybe she's just happy she might be getting out of there!
• It was weird to see ALL of the hamsters hang out in the backyard for most of the late evening hours. Usually a few go off in seclusion.
• Helen got stuck with GinaMarie at the hot tub for what seemed like forever.
• She even worked her HelenBot throughout that, asking all kinds of questions. If Helen gets in one of those comps about knowing the other hamsters best, she should win hands down. She acts like she's all interested, but I bet she's filing all the knowledge away for future use.
• Amanda said that she's not racist because she's had sex with black guys.
• @@
• Nothing like promoting your promiscuity! (Don't care what color, just the idea of going on about guys with whom you've done da deed!)
• Amanda told Andy that Aaryn's more sheltered which is why she made the "disgusting" remark.
• I don't know. Even sheltered should have common sense.
• Right?
• Then again, perhaps the hamsters have to swear not to use common sense during the application process.
• Yeah, that's the ticket -- no common sense permitted!
• Later today, we'll find out if Andy uses the veto or not. I don't think he will and I believe it still will be Jessie walking out the door on Thursday.

Big Brother 15: Live Feeds Sunday into the Evening - August 11

At least she's not a Have Not

For the most part it's been a ho-hum Sunday in the habitrail. There's so much down time on Sundays that, except for the occasional brouhaha or cat fight, it might as well be nap time for all. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Horrors:

• Have to give her credit for trying -- Jessie told the others she thinks Spencer is really good at comps. (And implied that she's not and they should vote him out.)
• Lots of talk about how Judd did this and Judd did that. Judd pretty much did whatever others wanted him to do.
• Andy told Helen he's only lied to the people he wasn't loyal to.
• He's not lying about that.
• But, do note he didn't tell Helen he hasn't lied to her.
• GinaMarie was happy Andy won PoV as she thought she'd be the replacement nominee if veto was used.
• She would have been.
• Jessie thinks that Amanda/McCrae/Helen/Elissa have a final four deal. She doesn't know anything about Andy's involvement with any of them, or at least how strong his ties are.
• Both of the power couples work together, but things will end up with them pitted against each other.
• Helen keeps talking about getting Amanda out.
• Unfortunately, she's telling that to Andy, Amanda's puppet.
• Andy, who's been on the fence over which nominee he really wants out, told McCrae that he guesses Jessie will have to go as she told him she wants Amanda out.
• @@
• McCrae is worried that Amanda will betray him.
• Heh.
• They think Rachel might show up in a Pandora's Box.
• Andy and Spencer think they trust Amanda and McCrae more than they do Helen.
• Elissa, though part of that power pair with Helen, is easily dismissed.
• Spencer thinks Aaryn is a wild card. While her two HoH had the nominations controlled by others, he has no idea what she would do on her own.
• He has a point there.
• I'd say she'd just do whatever told by whomever.
• Now Helen, Andy and McCrae are in a final three deal.
• Whatever.
• I can't even try to keep these whacko deals straight.
• Although I do admit I wouldn't mind seeing that particular final three. I just don't think it's serious.
• McCrae said, though Amanda has sworn love and future marriage, he feels trapped and depressed. He called her a maneater (not to her face) and said he feels like the girl in the relationship.
• Good. Now he knows how some girls feel!
• Andy told Jessie he can't keep playing everybody's friend.
• He also told her that Spencer has lied to him.
• He didn't tell her that she's the target this week.
• Then Andy went off to be Helen's good friend.
• And on it goes ...

Symbolic of her life?

HoH entertainment

He DOES have Spock ears!
