BB 15 pg. 3

This is their 8th day in the house. They went in last Friday, not Saturday as first thought.  McCrae is really 'cleaning up'.  First he won HOH then won POV yesterday.  It looks like he will nominate Elissa because he thinks everyone in the house wants her out. But it looks like there is a fan shift and she is becoming more popular with her "not-Rachael"  persona. If she goes on the block she will probably get booted.

Meanwhile there is some exasperation with TVGN's handling of BB After Dark. After promising that they wouldn't censor anything, they are blanking the audio momentarily whenever someone uses a 'bad word'. It's not that we really need or want to hear 'bad words' but the audio blanking causes choppy audio during discussions and it's very distracting. Some of the 'high powered fans', of which there are surprising and unexpected numbers are going to contact TVGN producers and see what can be done to correct this and go back to Showtimes 'hands off' policy. One improvement over Showtime though, is that TVGN has no commercials or interruptions during the 2 hours. Showtime would interrupt every 15-20 minutes to show promos for Showtime shows and Julie would have a recorded spot telling us we were watching BBAD.



'Big Brother 15' Spoilers: Week 1 Power of Veto Results

In the Big Brother 15 house, HoH McCrae has made his two nominations, the MVP made the third nomination and now it's the Power of Veto competition, which is as fierce and complicated as ever with so many moving parts.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains Big Brother 15 spoilers.

McCrae nominated Jessie and Candice. Elissa is the MVP and she nominated David. Howard and Elissa were also chosen to play in the PoV.

McCrae won the Power of Veto. It involved honey and spelling, so it was a variation of the typical first PoV competition where the HGs had to wade through a pit of honey to collect letters to spell the biggest word. McCrae won with "delivery." It sounds like this season's "technotronics" moment involved Elissa spelling "potroast," which is two words.

So this makes two wins in a row for McCrae, which is going to make him quite the target. But it also forces him to make a choice. He's promised nearly everyone that he will backdoor Elissa and he promised that Candice and Jessie were both pawns.

He can stay true to his promise, save one of them and nominate Elissa, in which case she will almost certainly go home unless something big changes in the next week. Or he can choose Elissa over the rest of the house. But that would be like committing suicide in the game.

Right now it seems inevitable that McCrae will use the Power of Veto on either Jessie or Candice and backdoor Elissa. He's painted himself into a corner where that's the only option, or the entire house will hate him. On the live feeds, before the competition, McCrae even told Elissa, to her face, that he would have to nominate her if he was in this position.


UPDATE: Already there's mad scheming going on. Nick has approached McCrae about a strategy that would send David home since he's the biggest threat. Nick suggests leaving the nominations the same and getting rid of David, leaving a void in the Blonde-tourage alliance featuring David, Aaryn, Kaitlin, Jeremy, Nick and GinaMarie. Nick sees this as an opportunity to fill the vacuum left by David to lead the Blonde-tourage and turn them against the rest of the house, blaming them.

McCrae, however, wants to save Candice and nominate Elissa, since he's promised everyone he would and doesn't want to go back on his word, but he is eager to go along with Nick's master plan to get David out and save Elissa. Then the next week they want to take out Amanda so the Moving Company can then steamroll all the useless pawns.


Check out the Power of Veto competition and ceremony Tuesday at 9pm on Big Brother 15 on CBS.

One amusing thing is that when the women use the 2 way mirrors in the bathroom with cameras behind them to put on makeup, they either don't know, or don't care, obviously the latter since they have all seen previous seasons, we get a real closeup of their "technique".  

Aaryn, the blond, and Jessie.









Later Aaryn tells Elissa that she has her support and she doesn't want to see her evicted.

The reason they hear/see planes and helicopters going over a lot is because they are only about 4 miles from the Burbank airport. In past seasons LAPD helicopters have flown low over the back yard when girls are out in their bikinis...they wave..
