Hi, everyone!

To kinda quote Julie Chen, “Yesterday was a day of twists and turns at the Big Brother House…”

First off, Elissa used her MVP powers to nominate Jeremy for eviction.  

Jeremy, who might have ringworm (but that still isn’t stopping Kaitlin from climbing all over him — ewwwwww!) then went on to win the power of veto.  Judging from some of the comments in the house, it appears that the Veto competition had something to do with balancing a bunch of stuffed animals.  Well, regardless, Elissa probably should have nominated one of the physically weaker players, someone like Kaitlin and Gina Marie….

But apparently, Elissa will get the chance to do just that.  This makes no sense to me but the MVP not only gets to nominate a player but she also gets to nominate a replacement if her original nomination is vetoed.

As of right now, it looks like Elissa is going to nominate Kaitlin for eviction, which would actually be a smart move on her part because Kaitlin isn’t a member of the MC.  Kaitlin, for her part, is just happy that Ringworm Boy is going to get to stay in the house.

Ringworm Boy, meanwhile, is proudly strutting around with his veto necklace hanging around his germ-infested neck.

Seriously, I would never want to touch that veto necklace after knowing that Jeremy had handled it.  Yucky!

In other news: McCrae apparently said that he hopes that he and Amanda get evicted and go to the sequester house because he’d rather have sex with Amanda then win $500,000.  Apparently, it hasn’t occurred to him that he’s going to be a lot more appealing with $500,000 than with just his pizza boy paycheck.

(Also, if he’s that desperate, he and Amanda should just sneak off during the Veto meeting.  It’s not as if the live feeds aren’t down half the day…)

Jeremy has apparently been so aggressive in telling his fellow HGs that they better vote out Elissa that he’s actually received a warning from the producers that verbal threats are not acceptable in the BB House.

Elissa is apparently concerned that Aaryn’s Adderall is giving her super powers or something.  I know that a lot of you guys like Elissa and I certainly like her more than Aaryn and Ringworm Boy but honestly, I’m kinda hoping she gets voted out this week.  Mentally, she doesn’t really seem to be in the game and she’s mostly distracting people from going after the real threats in the game. 

As for Howard, he’s apparently off praying somewhere.

Seriously, where has Howard been?

Remember, the show is on CBS tonight so we can see how they handle the whole Aaryn and Ringworm Boy cheating thing!

As for me, I had a good time laying out by the pool yesterday but I’m a redhead and redheads don’t tan as much as we just burn.  Oh well!

Stay supple,

Hi, everyone.

Aaryn made her nominations last night and supposedly, she cried while doing them.  Jeremy swears that Aaryn gave the greatest nomination speech in the history of Big Brother (a show that Jeremy claims to have never heard of before actually being cast).  And who did Aaryn nominate?

Elissa and Helen!

That’s right.  Despite spending a lot of time asking everyone who she should nominate to go up on the block with Elissa and despite mentioning everyone from Candice to Nick to even Jeremy at one point (on the theory that Jeremy would be able to keep Elissa from winning POV), Aaryn went with Helen.

Elissa has also won MVP for a second time.  They really should just call that award the Favorite Sister Award because, gamewise, Elissa’s only strategy seems to be getting her sister to ask people on twitter to vote for her.

Elissa is talking about nominating Jeremy.  On the one hand, that makes sense because Jeremy is a physical threat and everyone hates him.  However, what we the viewers know, is that Jeremy is a part of the secret super alliance, the Moving Company and the MC will probably stick together and get rid of Elissa instead.

And, from a game point of view, that’s exactly what the MC should do.  Elissa is an absurdly powerful player who doesn’t seem to have any real strategy for how she’s planning on using her MVP powers.  The main (and only) reason that I ever really find myself rooting for Elissa is because Aaryn, Jeremy, and Gina Marie are all so loathsome.

Anyway, that’s pretty much it for today.  I enjoyed reading everyone’s comments yesterday.  Thank you everyone for keeping this site active, fun, and informative! 

Everyone have a great Saturday.  I’m off to go do a very Big Brotherish type of thing and spend the entire day laying out by the pool.

Stay supple,

Hi!

For reasons that I’ll explain at the end of this post, I didn’t actually sleep last night so this post might not be my best.  However, I wanted to make sure to give you guys a new page for your comments and tell you what little went on in the BB house on Independence Day.

Basically, our new HoH, Aaryn, spent most of yesterday whining about the heat.  Apparently, the HC wasn’t working in the HoH room and Aaryn spent most of the day complaining about it.  (Considering how hot it has been out in California, I would probably have complained about it as well if I was in Aaryn’s jackboots.  Still, Aaryn and I are both Texas girls and, as such, we should both be able to handle heat with a little more class.  Seriously, listening to Aaryn, you would have thought that the AC stopped specifically to spite her.  Or as Aaryn put it, this should be the best week of her life but now, it’s the worst.)  

Also, Aaryn is still struggling to figure out who voted for David and who didn’t.  She, Jeremy, and Gina Marie are determined to get Elissa out of the house this week.  Gina Marie, in particular, seems to be obsessed and scared of Elissa’s MVP powers.  Meanwhile, Jeremy seems to be throwing his weight around more than ever, telling McCrae and Amanda that if they can’t get Elissa out of the house than they’re going to start coming after the people who are protecting Elissa.

So, Elissa is going up on the block but Aaryn still doesn’t seem to be quite sure who is going to be joining her.  I’ve heard her mention Candice, Helen, Nick, and Jessie as possible nominees.  Aaryn and her allies are really paranoid that Elissa could win the veto.

In other news, Kaitlin was apparently peeing blood during the afternoon and had a visit with the show’s medical team.  Nick theorized that Kaitlin is suffering from kidney stones but, as far as I know, there hasn’t been any official word yet.

Also, the HGs had a 4th of July pizza party, which I assume we’ll probably see on Sunday’s show, mostly because the live feeds were down for most of it.  From what the HGs said after the live feeds came back up, there was apparently drama that happened when Amanda felt that Jessie was hitting on McCrae and Jessie felt that Elissa was spreading rumors that Jessie and Judd were now a couple.  What’s interesting about that is, to judge from the live feeds, Judd seems to be believe that he and Jessie are a couple now as well.

I think the nominations are today so we’ll see who Aaryn decided to throw up on the block with Elissa.  

On a personal note, did everyone have a good 4th?  I did.  I got together my sisters and my niece and my nephew and we all went down to Breckenridge Park and watched the fireworks.  And then we came back to my house, we had a big sleep-over, and I ended up staying up so late talking to everyone that I just realized that I never actually bothered to get any sleep last night.  So, as soon as I click publish, I’m going to get a an hour or two of rest. 🙂

Stay supple,

the very sleepy Lisa Marie

Happy Independence Day!

So, here’s the basics of what happened last night with both the live show and the HoH competition:

The Live Show started off on a grim note.  Julie was not smiling.  The audience was clearly hostile whenever Aaryn, David, Jeremy, or Gina Marie appeared on screen.  Though CBS is still refusing to broadcast any of the remarks that we all know have been made in the house, it was also obvious that Aaryn is no longer going to be getting the whole country girl edit that she got in the previous two episodes.  Obviously, CBS wants to take advantage of her new role as villain without admitting that they’re basically giving a spoiled, homophobic racist a chance to win $500,000.  

While we didn’t get to see any footage of Aaryn saying any of the stuff that caused Zephyr to drop her, we did get to see a lot of Jeremy.  We saw him making out with Kaitlin and we saw a little of fight with Amanda over the red wine.  We did not see him wiping his ass with Elissa’s hat.  Again, it’s not that I would want to see that but CBS again seems to want to take advantage of Jeremy’s villain status without telling viewers the full story of what a disgusting  bully Jeremy truly is.

Then it was time to vote.  Jessie gave a rather bland speech.  David gave a typically David speech.  Elissa — foolishly, I think — says, “Nobody comes between me and my Big Brother game…”  After those three speeches, I would have been happy to see any of them go home.

The voting breaks down like this:

Amanda — David

Aaryn — Elissa

Nick — David

Candice — Elissa

Spencer — David

Kaitlin — Elissa

Helen — David

Howard — David

Gina Marie — Elissa

Judd — David

Jeremy — Elissa

Andy — David

When Aaryn cast her vote to evict Elissa, the entire studio audience booed and you could tell by the shocked look on Aaryn’s face that she heard them.  (And Aaryn later told Gina Marie and Jeremy that she heard the booing.)  Though a production manager then went, “Shhhhhh!” and got the audience to shut up, the audience pretty much screwed their favorite Elissa with all of their cheering and booing.  The house is already jealous that Elissa is Rachel’s sister and most of them are worried that she’s going to win MVP every week.  By cheering and booing, the audience pretty much confirmed those fears.

(I don’t really blame the audience as much as I blame CBS and the show’s producers who really don’t seem to understand just how much controversy this season of Big Brother has stepped into).

But anyway, David was voted out on a 7-5 vote.  Aaryn looked angry.  I’m tempted to say that David looked shocked but David always kinda looks like that.  Julie attempted to interview David.  David didn’t have much to say.  He did ask who the MVP that nominated him was.  Oddly, Julie refused to tell him.

Then, it was time to pick a new HoH and guess who won?

Aaryn!

Guess how she won?

By cheating!

You can find the full details in the comments section of the previous post but basically it went like this:

The HGs were separated into teams of two.  (Even though the teams were supposedly selected at random, it seems convenient that Aaryn got to work with Jeremy.)  This is one of those fill-the-jugs competitions.  One teammate fills his cup with barbecue sauce.  He then pours the sauce into a cup being held by the second teammate.  The second teammate then runs down a slippery lane where she pours whatever sauce she has into a big jug and whichever team fills the jug first wins.  And then the 2 people on the team decide which one of them is going to be HoH.

(At least I think that’s how it worked.  Unfortunately, since the HGs are incapable of going 50 minutes without cursing, a lot of Julie’s explanation ended up getting muted.)

During the competition, instead of pouring from one cup to another, Jeremy and Aaryn simply switched out cups, which allowed them to finish first.  Jeremy allowed Aaryn to be HoH because that way, he can still compete for the title next week.

Now, seriously, this cheating — video of which is available on YouTube — would not have been tolerated on any of the other big reality shows.  If Aaryn and Jeremy had tried to do this on Survivor, you better believe Jeff Probst would have called them out and disqualified them from the rest of the competition.  If this had happened on the Amazing Race, they would have ended up with a 3 hour penalty at the check-in mat and Phil himself would have told them how disappointed he was in them.

However, on Big Brother 15, cheating like this wins Aaryn the key to the HoH room and the right to nominate two HGs who didn’t cheat for eviction!

Or, as Gina Marie put it once she was up in the HoH room with Aaryn and Jeremy, this is Aaryn’s way of giving the middle finger to everyone who booed her.  Aaryn added, “Suck my dick, America” and, as reported in the comments section of the previous post, asked America why they would want to send her home because, “what else are you going to look at all summer?”

BLEH!

Anyway, it is sounding like Aaryn is planning on nominating Elissa and Helen for eviction.  Hopefully, this week’s MVP will nominate either Gina Marie or Jeremy.

And that, sad to say, is the current state of affairs in the Big Brother house.

Oh well.  At least we get fireworks tonight!

Feeling independent,

Lisa Marie
