BB day 71 Saturday

The veto comp. is going on right now. The feeds have been down for 1 1/2 hours, so we should know the results soon. I predict that neither Amanda nor McCrae will win, meaning that the nominations will remain the same, leading to a more interesting situation in which the Exterminators may dispute which one should be evicted on Thursday. At any rate one of them will certainly leave....



'Big Brother 15' Spoilers: Who Are the Week 10 Nominees?
Friday, August 30, 2013

On this week's Big Brother 15 live eviction episode, Julie Chen talked to Dan Gheesling who said that keeping showmances in the house is a stupid decision. In the first three weeks, Aaryn and David, GinaMarie and Nick and Kaitlin and Jeremy were all broken up, then Howard and Candice got the boot. But through all of this, McCranda has been safe. Will that streak continue, or has their love come to an end.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains Big Brother 15 spoilers.

GinaMarie is the new HoH. She nominated Amanda and McCrae.

It's about time. This has been in the works for a while and it's finally here. GM is in a great position, as she's close with Elissa and is a part of the Exterminators with Andy, Judd and Spencer. So putting up the showmance was an obvious choice.

Amanda fought quite hard to get Elissa and Judd on the block, claiming that it's what everyone wanted, but this week she is clearly out of the loop. She's under the impression that Andy and Spencer are on her side and will target GM for nominating her.

The best part is how good GM was at keeping a poker face, because before the nominations, Amanda was 100 percent certain Elissa and Judd would be the nominees. That's gonna make for some great TV on Sunday, her cockiness compared to the reality of the situation.


UPDATE: In the aftermath, Amanda was confused, desperate to make sense of it. She ranted to Andy and Spencer about how GM must be working with Elissa and Judd because, otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

Amanda then went to ask GM about it, trying to explain that she and McCrae had GM's back and wasn't coming after them (despite trying to get her nominated and evicted last week). Amanda kept talking about how Elissa is the one who nominated Nick and got rid of Aaryn. Amanda's mantra is "It doesn't make sense," because she's foolish enough to think Andy and Spencer are with her. She's also upset that GM isn't playing personally.

GM then explained that everyone is on their own, but McCranda are playing as a duo. Apparently she said in her speech that Amanda took the fire out of McCrae's game, which is very true. The whole conversation is frustrating, because it's Amanda repeatedly saying "It doesn't make any sense" and claiming GM made a horrible game move and is gonna have the whole house coming after her. Amanda is so wrong, and it's hilarious because everyone else in the house knows that this move makes total sense.

UPDATE #2: It looks like fireworks aren't in store quite yet. After an hour of ranting, Amanda has calmed down and seems to accept what has happened. She's been crying, telling McCrae that she's ready to go and she wants him to win (Oh silly girl, you're not the target, McCrae is!). She even admitted to McCrae that GM definitely played her. And to GM's credit, she is being very gracious, even offering to let McCranda spend one night this week in the HoH room. So GM is playing smart and Amanda is being civil. Welcome to Opposite Day!


The real mystery now is around the Power of Veto. It's basically Amanda vs. McCrae, as both need to win to survive. If one of them wins, the other one will almost certainly be evicted, the only question will be about who to use as the pawn (my vote goes to Spencer, just so he can get a seventh nomination under his belt).

If neither of them win and the nominations stay the same, then we could have some drama. Andy and Spencer want Amanda gone more, because then they think they could possibly work with McCrae. But there's also talk about getting rid of McCrae first because he would be a stronger competitor without Amanda, and it would leave her weak and unstable.

There's also the issue of who even wants to win the Power of Veto. Andy and Spencer have said that they don't want it because they don't want to be hounded by McCranda to use it.

If McCrae gets evicted this week, I suspect Amanda will follow, probably in the double eviction. If Amanda is evicted, then things could get interesting. I could envision the Exterminators splitting up, leaving us with GM, Elissa and Judd vs. Andy, Spencer and McCrae.

Winning competitions is very important at this point on Big Brother 15 with less than three weeks to the finale, and right now I think it's anybody's game. I could envision scenarios where any one of the Top 7 could win the game, which is probably the first time I've ever thought that.

FUN FACTS

-This is the second week in a row McCrae has been nominated, and it's the third nomination for Amanda. However, this is the first time Amanda has ever been nominated by a fellow HG, as her first two came from America as the MVP.

-Andy, Judd and GinaMarie are the only HGs left who have only been nominated once.

-McCrae is the only HG who has never had to face an eviction vote. Amanda, McCrae, Andy and GinaMarie have never had a single vote cast against them.

-GM is only the 15th woman in the history of the game to win two HoHs in a single season (Aaryn was the 14th).

-Amanda and Spencer are still the only HGs left who have never won HoH. In the history of the game, only five people have finished in the Top 4 without ever winning ah HoH competition:

Will Kirby did it twice, in seasons 2 and 7. He's also the only person to win the game without ever being HoH.

Michael "Cowboy" Ellis (season 5) and Memphis Garrett (season 10) both finished second without winning an HoH, so perhaps it happens every five seasons and will occur again this year.

Season 12's Enzo Palumbo is the only third-place finalist to never win HoH.

Season 8's Jameka finished in fourth without ever winning HoH.

Big Brother 15 August 30, 2013

Nomination nights are always exciting for Big Brother and this week was no different at all. We finally saw someone take a swing at the power couple and while they might have said “it makes no sense!” the rest of us saw the Exterminators putting their plan in to action. Now it’s time to see what the nominees decide is their next move.

Read about those moments and others on our Live Feed highlights below. And remember to sign-up now for the Big Brother Feeds so you can watch any of these moments by using the Flashback archive feature.

Big Brother 15 Live Feed Highlights – Friday, Aug. 30, 2013


3:30 PM BBT – Amanda is confident Elissa will go up. She tells Judd if they keep the noms the same then Elissa will be evicted.

4:00 PM BBT – Amanda says GM will do what she’s told her to so she won’t be targeted next week. Amanda is excited about the upcoming nominations.

5:16 PM BBT – Feeds return. McCranda has been nominated. Amanda is crying and goes to bed.

5:18 PM BBT – Amanda saying it doesn’t make sense. This will later become her mantra. She says she’d rather go home than see McCrae evicted.

5:20 PM BBT – Amanda up and on the attack. She’s going after Spencer then Andy then GM.

5:25 PM BBT – Andy and Judd walk in on Amanda yelling at GM. GM staying very calm.

5:30 PM BBT – Amanda continues to yell at GM. She tells GM that the whole house will be pissed at her and coming after her. Amanda believes any of the guys will save them if they win Veto.

5:35 PM BBT – Amanda back downstairs and crying. She says she wants to go home.

5:50 PM BBT – Amanda still crying and upset. Saying it doesn’t make sense and she wants to go and McCrae to stay. Amanda says she’s over it and wants to go home now.

6:15 PM BBT – Andy tells Amanda he’ll fight to win Veto. (No he won’t.) She says she doesn’t want to rob McCrae of his chance to play the game.

6:45 PM BBT – Amanda apologizes to GinaMarie for her earlier behavior.

6:55 PM BBT – GM again explaining to Amanda that everyone is alone, but Amanda has McCrae which makes them a threat.

7:30 PM BBT – McCrae is crying. Amanda tries to make him feel better.

8:00 PM BBT – HGs minus McCranda in the kitchen having dinner prepared by GM.

8:40 PM BBT – Spencer and Andy making up stories and building them off each other’s. It’s pretty hilarious. Andy jokes he had to work in the steel mill straight out of elementary school and already had a whole family at that age. They go on and on in different directions.

8:45 PM BBT – Amanda trying to comfort McCrae. She says they did everything they could. Couldn’t do anything differently.

9:00 PM BBT – Andy bumps in to Amanda. Tells her he’ll fight hard for the Veto. She still thinks she can trust him. No he won’t.

9:20 PM BBT – Amanda goes up to the HoH room and cries to them wit her apology.

9:50 PM BBT – Amanda tells Andy and McCrae that she’s ruining their game. She tells them to fight on when she’s gone. I’d seriously consider keeping spirit-broken Amanda and send him McCrae at this point.

10:10 PM BBT – Amanda says she cried at the nomination ceremony.

11:15 PM BBT – Alcohol arrives in the Storage room.

11:50 PM BBT – Andy says his DR questioning made him think McCranda and Helen weren’t popular with viewers. He became concerned over how he was viewed. Andy doesn’t feel like Amanda gives him credit for keeping her in the game this far.

1:10 AM BBT – Andy and Elissa joking around in the HoH room. They make a silly flappy-hand shake that he’ll protect her this week but is going to vote her out on Thursday. Lots of giggles.

2:00 AM BBT – HGs all off to bed. Veto competition ahead of them on Saturday.

The Veto on Saturday will be important, but not critical like last week. If either Amanda or McCrae wins the Veto then the other will go home. The votes simply aren’t there to save them unless they work on some serious brainwashing plans this week.

Oh-oh , McCrae won the POV comp ! This should mean that Amanda is being evicted because the common thing, indeed the only thing, is for the POV winner to take themselves off the block if they are a nominee. In this case though we have the unique situation in that Amanda may try to brow beat McCrae into using the POV to save her, keeping himself on the block, in which case he would be the certain evictee. This still means that one of them is going out on Thursday. At the moment on the live feeds Amanda is sobbing pitilessly, not yet into her brow beating mode, while McCrae remains silent and non-commital. This should be interesting over the next few days....
