Amanda Gets Nasty with Elissa
2:15pm
Camera 1
McCrae and Elissa have an argument about touching one another's belongings. Elissa accuses McCrae. He accuses back, and throws Ginamarie's name into the mix as the real culprit she's looking for. Elissa's cites the rules and tells him she'll go to the DR next time he or Amanda goes near her things. He says he'll go there right now, and runs inside.
A minute later, McCrae returns and escalates a bit, citing her uppitiness, etc.. Then Amanda comes out, and it gets ugly.. What follows is the transcript of Amanda...
2:22pm
Camera 1 and 2
McCrae, Amanda and Elissa
McCrae: Don't touch her stuff!
Amanda: Don't touch her stuff? What stuff?
McCrae: Don't touch her stuff. You're goin' through everything, because you wanna be her.
Amanda: hehe
McCrae: Everyone wants to be her. She's f'ing the coolest, most awesome person. She didn't just f'in walk onto the lot of Big Brother. Everyone wants to be her.
Amanda: I touched her stuff?
McCrae: (to Elissa) You'll never go home, because (quoting her) you're f'ing Big Brother blood. We all know you wanna be here, Amanda. Everyone wants to be here.
Amanda: Well, uh.. Zingbot said it best. She's a trashy version of her sister. Zzzz-- I don't even have to say it. That's what America thinks, obviously.
McCrae: Never made any mistakes in her life. Like, I don't understand how you can live in a house with such scum. Like, that must be so below you and beneath you.
Amanda: (smiles at Elissa.. you can see the wheels turning)
McCrae: To be subjected to us.. the lowest form of humanity.
Amanda: Well, she has her 78 year old husband that she loves so much waiting for her at home.. and her kid that, who knows who he belongs to? Definitely not him.
Elissa: (jogs by)
Amanda gets up and walks toward the sliding glass door.
Amanda: You shoulda been a blowjob, Elissa. Got caught in the wrong hole.
2:25pm
Amanda goes in. Elissa continues running in silence.. McCrae sits on the couch smoking his cigarette.
2:33pm
Elissa goes inside and straight up to the HoH. Amanda's in the bathroom talking with Aaryn, telling her "don't talk about it anymore.. you know what your job is."
2:36pm
Bathroom
Amanda and Aaryn
Topic: Operation Get Elissa to put up Ginamarie instead of Andy, so Aaryn can 100% be saved.
Amanda: Don't talk about it anymore. You know what your job is. Oh my God.. I was so harsh to Elissa. She deserves it though.. Her husband with the receding hairline.
Aaryn: His teeth are disgusting.
Amanda: He's disgusting. That's called a sugar daddy. You don't marry a sugar daddy.
Aaryn: 100% a sugar daddy. Maybe they aren't even married.
Amanda: What?
Aaryn: Maybe they aren't even married.
Amanda: Well, there's a picture of her, pre-face-job, in a wedding dress. None of those pictures even look like her, because her face is completely distorted now.
Aaryn: It's gross.
Amanda: Mmyah.. I'm gonna go outside.
This is the beginning of Elissa's day of torture. It continues throughout Sunday afternoon and ranges from the silly, blowing a party horn to annoy Elissa and make it impossible for her to communicate.. donning stage makeup and a costume to look like a granny... to the profane. All of it is designed for one thing - keep Andy off the block so 3AM can stay intact.
We'll know Monday after the PoV Ceremony if this was a success.

I like conflict in Big Brother, without it Big Brother would not be on any more, it would be boring. But this was overboard. All this crap from Amanda because Elissa wouldn't do their bidding? And how dare Elissa go after them, it isn't like they were going after her, oh wait yes they were! Really? So let me see if I understand this right, all these players were brought in so Amanda can win? They are supposed to help her to the end? I know there are people who like Amanda, and while I respect their opinion, I will never understand it. As a side note, BB players are fair game but families especially children are off limits IMHO. Even Rachel said that last night that what Amanda says about Brenchel is fair game but not family.
Amanda has some growing up to do yet as does Aaryn. It is too bad that Amanda lowered herself by bringing Elissa's family into the game. Her party horn was even annoying for the viewers, it certainly did not help my headache and it probably did not help hers either.
I'm really confused...because Elissas husband has a receding hair line that instantly means he is like super old and gross? It was hard for me to see in those tiny pictures just how old he is but seriously people in their 20's and 30's can and do have receding hair lines.... There are some super petty people in the house this year.
Nice try, but major fail, Amanda! She really is acting so entitled and hypocritical. She keeps telling Elissa how she has saved her and been so loyal and yet she got rid of Helen, Elissa's closest alliance...that would be enough reason to get rid of her, but Amanda has selective memory and feels she and MC are untouchable. PUhlease!!
Meh. I know I'm in the minority here, but excuse me if I don't clutch my pearls. Amanda is absolutely being cruel, but she's trying to save her alliance. This was a dumb game move and will most definitely blow up in her face and not work, but it was a game move. I don't think she's evil. Is she a bit of a mean girl? Absolutely. However, I've also witnessed her being kind and comforting to others at various points throughout the season and that's something I have NOT seen Elissa do. By all means, call Amanda mean, but let's not suddenly forget the things we've heard come out of Elissa's mouth.
Also, while I believe this plan will fail, I think that is more a testament of Andy's failure to convince Elissa he's her knight and less to do with Amanda.
The one thing that people seem to be overlooking in all of this is that ELISSA started the whole thing by going into McCrae's drawer first & moving his things around before going to him about Amanda not touching her things! Added to this is the fact that it might not have even BEEN Amanda who was in Elissa's things (there is speculation that it might have been GM). Everyone jumps on the beat Amanda with a stick bandwagon without looking at the obnoxious things Elissa does in the house, too. No, it does NOT condone or excuse Amanda's comments about Elissa's husband, son, and stepchildren. However, Elissa has done nothing BUT belittle the other HGs all season (unless their name is Helen). She has said she hated all of them, she has accused them of being on DRUGS (Amanda, Aaryn, Jessie, Judd!) - she even said about Adderall being "synthetic Heroin" the other night (which it is NOT)!! She has derided all of them, she has refused to sit beside other HGs for the live show, and she has been just plain insufferable! When she gets a little game-strategy harassment (i.e. the horn, the grannie, & the yelling, all of which are part of the game of BB - Evel Dick even tweeted to that effect!), then she runs to the DR to whine & complain. The other HGs were even joking about her tattletale behavior in the BY last night during BBAD - including Judd!!! Oh, and let's not forget that just one week ago, she was bawling her eyes out & threatening to self-evict once Helen was gone, then turned around when she won the HoH, and now has gone back to bawling her eyes out again because they're "being mean to her." Please, lady. You are NOT lily white in this whole situation and I can't sit back and listen to it any more.
Sorry for the caps, Caro. Just felt the need for emphasis & don't know HTML code to get bold. :)
Oh, Mrs. K, thank you so much!!! I couldn't agree more. :)
I pretty much agree with everyone here. Amanda's behavior even made it hard for her fans to support her. This was not a good game move on her part.
I'm also disliking Andy more and more every day.
I am still rooting for Judd, but having a hard time seeing him fall for Andy's shenanigans.
Admittedly I would have a hard time living with Elissa for several reasons, but I love her for making all of these people scramble this week. I love that she hasn't listened to anyone and stayed true to herself. She will get rid of a big player this week. Kudos, Elissa, you deserve them!
People like Elissa, those who feel entitled, truly piss me off. It'll be a happy day when she's gone. That way I can stop looking for her anus which, considering how tight and high her facelift is, may well be up between her shoulder blades.
I think you said it best Vicki and I am beginning to believe it: All these people WERE brought in so Amanda could win. Why else is she getting by with this????
I will have to unclutch my pearls long enough to say that the line about Elissa not supporting people is simply untrue. She spent hours with Candice just talking to her and bucking her up. She treats GM better than anyone has, which is why GM is starting to see Aaryn as she is. And, she was a lot kinder to Jessie than she had to be. I think some people equate acting entitled with having money. Not true. Entitled is having a member of your alliance nominated and not understanding how that can be possible. Saying that someone would have to be an idiot to make a game move you didn't control. By all means, compare Elissa's many times on the block with Amanda's bed-ridden sulking while demanding people bring her food in bed. This when she was not even on the block. Compare Elissa cooking and cleaning up after others with Amanda's bedside table of horrors. The harangue yesterday? After Amanda had won the POV. Talk about entitled. That is what it looks like.
All I can say Amanda is SMH!!! That is no way for a girl to act!!
Regardless of what Elissa has done in the past, Amanda is really just making herself look bad. Calm down. You won the POV and saved your boy toy. You can't keep everyone in your alliance so figure it out and be glad you didn't get that blood on your hands and move on.
I think Amanda has gone too far. She has bullied her way thru the whole game. The people in the house have done her bidding since day one and Elissa is the only one to actually be an HOH. She should win solely on that!! Amanda and McCray are disgusting slobs and actually should be sent packing RIGHT NOW!!
Amanda ruined the season for me. CBS should e interested to know this hard core fan is not watching the TV version and is only glancing at Twitter and this blog occasionally now.
It's very possible Moonves cancels this show.
Thanks for the hard work Caro, maybe we will see you next season.
Thank you AuntP for saying what many feel and for saying it in so few words. Point was clear and you hit "Publish". I and so many other commenters could do well to follow your lead.
And thank you Carolyn for transcribing. You saved a lot of ears as you do every day.
I want to write a book right now but I am going to mull it over for a while, maybe days.
Yes, I want to think before I type. A first for me possibly but I have to choose my words carefully to keep it publishable.

Alexandra, you said exactly what I feel too. Amanda and Elissa are both acting entitled, in different ways. And Elissa is not the only one in that house to be monied; Aaryn's family is loaded and Amanda's family is not living too shabbily.
And, brnidgrl, Elissa accused them all (the 4 of them) of being on drugs? WELL, they ARE on drugs (not sure about Jessie)! And they drink on top of that. What's the problem with Elissa calling out the truth?
If this cast is the best that BB can do after 15 seasons, maybe it's time to call it quits. Maybe they've run out of "good people" who are interested in competing. Personally, I'm totally addicted to this season.
Elissa is so insufferable! She calls the other houseguests horrible and scum. Did Elissa ever, ever see her sister Rachael bare her "downstairs" private parts many, many times during her seasons on Big Brother (shown via Showtime Afterdark)?? At least Amanda has not bared that part of herself!! Amanda has a wonderful personality and is a super smart person--very adept in playing BB. Unfortunately, Elissa appears very dull-minded and whiny, with absolutely no fun about her. Elissa wasn't even sequestered like all of the other houseguests. She got to stay with her sister, Rachel, instead. Elissa provokes the slams against her! Elissa is hated by all in the house because they know she is production's pet!
Brnidgrl, Mrs. K, and Irene, I love your comments!
And it's not so much Elissa disc losing people's meds, it's her lie that it's the same as heroin, which it has nothing in the world to do with (synthetic heroins are like oxycontin, hydrocodone, and vicodin, pain meds, NOT mood changers and ADHD meds. But she knew how to get a rise out of the morals police! She also went on to say she should get the same drugs...not once but a number of times, and other HGs just ignored her...drug-seeking behavior at the same time she was doing all the incomprehensible giggling every single night...made me wonder if the doctor stopped by the BB set after work each day to give Elissa something to calm her down...
She also goes on and on her morals crusade about other HG's reproductive experiences. I won't repeat all the crap she spreads, but as a "Christian" in an area of the country trying to outlaw women controlling their own bodies, all this talk is for one purpose IMO--turn audiences against these "wanton" women. Disgusts me. Women should not have to keep their lives in the closet. No one ever even asks about the sperm donators--only women are singled out for judgment. Reminds me of a saying: There, but for the grace of God, go I. Not a phrase Elissa ever heard.
I don't like fighting (an abusive father provided enough fights to last my lifetime times a million). I was horrified by Ealissa's laughing at Amanda---imagine if Amanda had laughed at Helen's tears, fake as she admitted they were? What makes a person that empty, they laugh when another hurts? Instead of honesty and directness, say what your purpose is and say I'm sorry you are hurting and get away....not laugh like a stoned hyena.
I don't vote America's choice to "create drama" or to force HGs to eat the most disgusting foods. I don't enjoy it or laugh when they are hungry--my stomach hurts and I feel badly. IMO, if you vote like that, enjoy the pain, you are no different than HGs who start fights, bully, or make life hard for other HGs--And they at least are playing a game THEY ARE IN! Voting for meanness in a game you don't even have a stake in is just plain old mean! You don't have any advantage, you just like suffering--but Amanda trying to make Elissa regret laughing in her face involves Amanda and her own hurt feelings in a place she cannot escape... It just amazes me someone would call Amanda a "mean girl" after they themselves voted for head cheese and habaneros.
And finally, since when is BB a cleanliness game? I keep hearing about what slobs McManda are--Elissa even dumped all over McCrae Sunday for it. Yet many camera shots look right over Spencer's bed to shoot McManda's corner of the room. All 3 sides of Spencer's bed are piled high with clothing, shoes.... Yet no one ever mentions him! McManda and Aaryn have a fraction of the junk, their beds are against walls on 2 sides, and McManda are twice the people as Spencer... Yet calls to throw them out of the game as slobs.
The hypocrisy, new ex post facto rules being created, and the usual morals policing (Brendon was even on a podcast trying to portray Elissa as the "good" player and Amanda as "bad" while Rachel started campaigning for America's Favorite Player status for her sister)---it all amazes me, the lengths fans are going to this year to try to prevent a win by someone of whom they disapprove. Makes me love Amanda all the more even when I can't enjoy some of her behavior.
Katie DeVault, he's just 40...I don't get that either... He seems very nice, loves her. She's lucky. He's no old man. Amanda was just mad.
Being laughed at and lied to can make a person crazy. Esp when she was straight with Elissa, warned her she was Aaryn's target, and saved her earlier in the game by exposing the Moving Company (to which E said "no, you didn't. I did it myself.") Same reaction Judd got when he mentioned his role in flipping Jessie. I guess "thank-you" is not in E's vocabulary.
Imissjeff, she did do those things, and only targeted Helen AFTER stories kept coming back to her that Helen was targeting her, already trying to persuade HOHs to nominate Amanda! Before that, Helen was safe and protected. But Helen was willing to vote out Amanda instead of Howard, if enough others would flip, then support Jessie in the flip she entertained twice, then tried to get Andy to put up Amanda instead of Jessie. It was becoming Helen's favorite subject...her own alliance, when so many enemies still were in the house.
