BB 15 day 18 Monday

Nothing of great importance happening today. Last night's CBS show was from last Fri. and Sat. When it was all over Jeremy had won POV so of course took himself off the block and and Aaryn nominated Nick in his place. So we have Nick, Helen, and Elissa on the block with Elissa expected to be evicted on Thurs.

Meanwhile, last night CBS finally showed the clips from 7-10 days ago of Aaryn's homophobic and racist comments. Whether they were pressured to finally do it or decided ''why not' since it was already all over the net and newspapers, we'll probably never know. Aside from Aaryn already being dropped by her modeling agency because of her comments, it won't have much effect in the house other than possibly causing her to not be in the running for the audiences MVP vote, assuming that Elissa doesn't get it again if not evicted this week.

Then last night Amanda found a "technical" way around the no nudity rule causing some uproar in the back yard. This happened too late for me to be up, but I could use the 'rewind' feature to go look if the mood strikes me.... 


'Big Brother 15' Recap: Clowns, Stalkers and Racism
Sunday, July 07, 2013

On Big Brother, power always seems to switch sides every week. Season 15 is no different, as the alliance that got blindsided in the first week is in charge for week 2. You can bet that whenever one half of a showmance gets evicted, their partner will win the HoH later that night.

Tonight Big Brother 15 finally shows us a segment about the many racist and awful things Aaryn has said, as well as her creepy clown and Jessie's stalker tendencies. The girls this season are crazy.

The HoH Competition

We pick up with the HoH endurance competition where teams must transfer BBQ sauce to fill up a jug and retrieve a ping pong ball. Naturally, it starts with people falling set to comical sound effects.

Howard and Jessie, Spencer and Helen, and Nick and Judd all opt to fill a smaller jug first to get bigger cups. Nick and Judd do it first.

Amanda's strategy is to walk on all fours so she doesn't pop an implant. McCrae finds the greasy, panting Amanda on all fours arousing.

Elissa wants to win more than birds need their feathers, which she says in the most robotic voice possible. Is it just me, or does everything she says in the diary room sound like she's reading it off a cue card? Maybe she just has a staccato speaking style. Whatever the case, she doesn't sound human at all.

It's basically a battle between Andy and Elissa vs. Jeremy and Aaryn, and the way they talk about it in the diary room, I'm fairly certain whoever loses is going to be murdered. The stakes are THAT high.

Thanks to Jeremy's incredibly long fingers, he grabs the ball first and wins. Is it still cockiness if he backs up his words with victory? He lets Aaryn be the HoH, and she must immediately choose the four Have-Nots for the week.

Aaryn asks everyone who voted to evict David, and no one takes the bait. She then decides to be a vindictive beeyotch by making Elissa, Helen and Andy Have-Nots for a second week in a row, joined by Candice. Elissa is more upset about Helen than herself.

The Have-Nots also get Liver and Lima Beans, and next week we get to vote for Coconuts and Cabbage, Grapefruit and Guacamole or Mincemeat and Marshmallows. Those are all decent options.

Who Voted Out David?

After the HoH competition, Aaryn tries to figure out who voted to evict her boyfriend David. Jeremy thinks the past is the past and they shouldn't worry about it. Spencer and Candice say they both voted to evict Elissa, even though Spencer didn't. His plan was quite genius, because before the eviction he told Candice to vote out Elissa, which she did, thus giving him a perfect alibi, because Candice can back up his lie to Aaryn.

Andy decides honesty is the best policy (well, partial honesty) by confessing to evicting David without giving the real reason.

Elsewhere, Candice and Helen chat and try to figure out how the votes went down. Candice initially thinks Nick and Jeremy voted David out and are working together, but then she starts to suspect that Spencer only told her to vote out Elissa to throw her off because he's with those guys too. She also suspects Howard and maybe even McCrae are involved. "I wonder if it's like a boys' super group," Candice says, oblivious to the fact that she's 100 percent right.

I almost feel bad for her, because she's right, but Spencer's move has made it so no one will believe her.

The Evil Clown

Aaryn's HoH room features a stuffed clown that is the creepiest thing ever. Amanda suspects it comes to life at night and will kill her. When the Blonde-tourage is in the HoH room (Aaryn, Jeremy, Kaitlin, GinaMarie and Nick), Jeremy suggests these are the five who voted to keep David.

Aaryn isn't so sure, implying that Nick is shady and may have been involved in the plot to evict David. She promises that, if this happens, she will castrate him. We then get a panicked close-up of Nick, a devilish close-up of Aaryn, and then a close-up of the clown. Great, now I'm going to have nightmares about being castrated by a clown.

Aaryn the Racist

To all of you people wishing that CBS would show Aaryn's racist comments, your wish is granted. We get an entire segment of her making all those comments about African-Americans, gays and doing a stereotypical Asian accent. And wow, they showed a LOT of her awfulness. Hopefully that will satisfy the bloodthirsty viewers.

Jessie the Stalker

The comedy segment of the episode is all about how Jessie is desperate for a showmance because everyone else has paired off (Aaryn and David, Jeremy and Kaitlin, Amanda and McCrae). She wants Nick, but she suspects maybe he's not into her. She's very, very right.

She starts following him around, and he desperately tries to ditch her, even having Jeremy step in to provide defense. But Nick can't lose her. He goes to bed, lies down, and Jessie just sits on the edge of the bed, sipping coffee and staring at him. It's almost creepier than the clown.

The Nominations

Jeremy wants Elissa out and thinks Helen should go up as the other nominee. Spencer, however, wants Amanda out because she's too close to McCrae and could break up the Moving Company.

Jeremy takes this back to Aaryn and tells her that Amanda masterminded David's eviction and she should go up.

Despite this last-minute plan, Aaryn nominates Elissa and Helen. Last week Nick got to decide that David should go, and now Jeremy wants Elissa out. Maybe next week Spencer can get his wish to send Amanda home.

Aaryn's speech blames Elissa for being the root of David going home and says Helen is a great competitor and she hopes she wins the Power of Veto. Elissa is upset that this decision was so predictable and unoriginal. That has to be the dumbest complaint I've ever heard. Was Aaryn supposed to nominate people no one expected, like Jeremy and Kaitlin?

‘Big Brother’ Airs Racist Remarks, Host Julie Chen Says: ‘I Took It Personally’

On Sunday night, CBS finally decided to air some of the racist and homophobic comments made by several houseguests competing this season on “Big Brother 15.”

While several cast members have been guilty of making insensitive remarks, the show zeroed in on 22-year-old college student/model Aaryn Gries — who last week was dropped by her modeling agency over the racism controversy — and dedicated an entire montage to Aaryn’s disturbing comments.

Aaryn’s unbecoming behavior included telling Asian housemate Helen Kim “to go make some rice,” a derogatory reference to Asian nail salons, and joking to housemate Nick Uhas that “I probably look like a squinty Asian right now.”

She didn’t stop at racism, though. Aaryn also made homophobic slurs in reference to gay housemate Andy Herren, saying
“No one’s going to vote for whoever that queer puts up.”

Another houseguest was exposed on-air for making racist remarks. GinaMarie Zimmerman, 32, who also lost her job last week when she was fired from the East Coast USA Pageant, was seen making jokes to Gries about African-American cast member Candice Stewart, when she said Candice is on the dark side “because she’s already dark.”

Meanwhile, housemate Spencer Clawson, a railroad conductor for Union Pacific, may become the third player to lose his day job over the derogatory display taking place on the show. TMZ claims Clawson may be fired for his own abhorrent comments, after he was heard calling another player “Kermit the F**” and giving Hitler a compliment.

The televised footage comes after the hateful language was captured on the 24/7 live Internet feeds last week and created a controversy online.

Several of the houseguests in the “Big Brother” house were seen complaining about the shocking comments and showing their disbelief over what was going on, however, no one directly confronted the offending parties face-to-face (yet).

“Big Brother” host Julie Chen revealed she too was offended by the racist remarks made by the cast. Chen discussed the controversy and expressed her disappointment Monday on her daytime show “The Talk.”

“When I first found out that Aaryn, who is a 22-year-old girl, made anti-gay, anti-black and anti-Asian comments, I have to be honest, the Asian ones hit me the most. It stung,” Chen said on Monday’s show. “I took it personally. I’m a human being.”

“The year is 2013,” she added. “I felt ignorant, there are still people in the country who feel and act that way? Yes, there [are]. It made me sad.”
