Friday Afternoon Before Nominations
Good afternoon, BB Lovers! Nominations are today!
If you missed GM's talk up in HoH with Elissa, it's a must read, and it's at the end of the Friday Morning.. Some day, in another lifetime, Gm may find a light source strong enough to guide her out from the depths of Elissa's colon. If this is your 1st time on BBDish today, and you missed the late night craziness, check out The Overnight Report.
OK.. Let's rejoin our Hgs on the live feeds..
12:35pm
Camera 3 and 4
Elissa and Aaryn
HoH Room
Aaryn: If you kept me safe this week, I would keep you safe as long as I possibly could. I wanna be here so bad, Elissa.
Elissa: I know. Every single thing I have, I've worked for. I deserve to be here.
Aaryn: I know you do, and I know that if you and I were in the final 2, you would win. If you put me up, I understand. I'll vote the way you want..
Elissa: The only way I can see that is if you took yourself off the block.. and then we can work to rebuild.. You sent a person home that wasn't only my ally but who wasn't coming after you.
Aaryn: She wasn't even my target. I made a mistake. If I get HoH's from here on out, I would not nominate you, until there was no one else.
Elissa: So what if I put a bigger target next to you?
Aaryn: I feel like Amanda or McCrae are up next to me, I will definitely go home. If I'm not on the block, I will not nominate you.
Elissa: So you're saying if I do put you up, then I'm gonna be your target.
Aaryn: No, that's not what I'm saying..
12:40pm Fishies, briefly.
Aaryn: You were not my target. If Amanda's lying to you, then she's lying to me and everyone else.
Elissa: I feel like I have credibility, where as all you've ever done is target me.
Aaryn: I have so many people telling me that you've been targeting me..
Elissa: You're not my target. I don't feel like you're threatening to me. I want to have fun in this game. Every time you've ever nominated me, I shake my head. I feel like you're giving Amanda the game.
Aaryn: Well if you feel that Amanda..
Elissa: I can beat Amanda all day every day in any comp.
Aaryn: Elissa, any deal you ask of me, I will do, if I don't go up.
Elissa: I'll consider it, but even if you do go up.. You should play the game for you. If you do stay.
Aaryn: Yeah.. Every single person in this house said you were the target for this week. I know you're upset with me, but there are other people you can go after too.
Elissa: I feel like if you're here next week, you should stay to that. I think that would be a good move for you.
Aaryn: If I don't go up on the block, then you have my loyalty.
Elissa: I've been saying that for weeks.
Aaryn: I've just had so many people in my ears.. If you can't take that deal right now, then maybe we can reconvene later.
Continued below the jump..
12:48pm
Cam 3 and 4
Andy comes up for his turn in HoH with Elissa.. With their shared Helen bond, this is a very different conversation.
Elissa: We're all sitting ducks, except for 2 people.. Aaryn has to go this week.
Andy: You know where I lie..
Elissa: I feel like we need each other.
Andy: I'm gonna play dumb.
Elissa; You're a smart guy. Stay away from them. I think you're a joke to them. We all are.
They wrap it up and head downstairs.
12:57pm
Cam 3
Andy: Oop! The Nominations Today think is up.
Elissa: I know.
1:06pm
Cam 3 and 4
Kitchen
Aaryn; That's weird. Why is outside locked down?
Andy: I don't know..
**hmmm
1:10pm
cam 3
Rainbow Room
Gm and Aaryn
Gm: I have your back to the end. You know that.
1:23pm
Cam 3
Judd and Elissa are bonding and laughing more in the kitchen.. Chatting about the girls in jury, how nice the jury house is..
Judd: As soon as Helen fell, she's all, Peace out. Happy as hell.
Elissa: See you, guys! She's so funny.
Meanwhile in the cockpit..
1:24pm
Spencer and Andy
Andy: I also talked to Ginamarie and she's like.. (fishies)
Spencer: It was like entering the f'ing house of horrors.
Andy: So weird.. Like ok, do some yoga for us.
Spencer: That was by far the most awkward one.. And her husband? "He's so sexy." He looks like Mr Bean.
Andy: I think her son is not her husband's. I'm so happy you're here. I would go f'in crazy.
1:29pm
cam 3 and 4
HoH - McCrae's Turn
McCrae: What'd GM say? Aaryn controls her.
Elissa: She thinks so.
McCrae: I just think that putting me up against her gives her too much of an opportunity to come off... She wont pick anyone but GM.. Gm's gonna tell you whatver you want to hear.
Elissa: I want to work with you, but I know I've been a target for you and Amanda too.
McCrae: Aaryn wanted you out so badly.. We've been with you. We want you here. Amanda would take you over me, and I would take you over Amanda..
Elissa: If I win the Veto, I would take you off in a second.
We did this dance late last night. I'll let you know
Elissa: Who do you think would be good to nominate?
McCrae; GM, because they're so closely allied. And if GM wins it, put me up. Even if I don't get to play, I still have better odds. If you put them both up right away, you can tell her she's just a pawn..
Elissa: You guys risked me every week.
McCrae: No. We wanted you here. The only way we could make sure you stayed was if she put you up against Helen.. so we could convince people Helen's more dangerous. The only way you stayed was if you went up against a strong ass person like Helen,
Elissa: So did Andy say he wanted me to go home?
McCrae: No. Me, Amanda and Andy were working on your behalf. (paraphrasing) It hurt him to do it, but Helen was too much of a wild card.
Elissa: You have Amanda, Judd, Ginamarie.. and Spencer owes you.
McCrae: He doesn't owe me anything. He wants to break me and Amanda up.
Elissa: I don't think so. Nobody in the house wants you gone. McCrae, I'm putting you up against Aaryn.
**Umm.. BB.. Rules? A warning even?
McCrae: Those 2 wanted you gone so bad.. Those 2 wanted you out so bad. You have to ensure that they can't work together, and the way to do that is by putting them up together.
Elissa: I just have way more confidence in you winning Veto.
McCrae: I just think you're giving her a way better chance to come off the block, if you put me against her, and not one of her allies.. If you want her gone so bad, this isn't the way to go about it.
Elissa: I don't want one of those 2 to go home, I want the 1 to go home.
1:46pm This is ongoing.. (**i need to reboot)
2:03pm
Storage Room
Andy and Spencer
Spencer: I think this is a way to work a deal with her.. Get out Amanda.
Andy: Gah, i don't wanna be picked to play in this. I was telling McCrae.. If I take 10 grand and she puts me up for not playing hard enough? To her 10 grand is nothing. To me, it's everything.
Andy: I'm gonna go take a shower.. or a nap..
Spencer: Me too.
2:10pm
Chair Room
Camera 1 and 2
Amanda and McCrae, Spencer is present.
McCrae: I went and talked to her..
Amanda: What'd she say?
McCrae: Samo Samo..
Andy enters.
Andy: If we have a HHN comp now, after I've gotten in my mind that we're not, I'm gonna have a meltdown.
Chatter ensues..
**2:18pm -- I'm not positive, because of the backyard being locked down, which makes me nervous, but this is looking like a good time for me to sneak a little bloggy break, hop on my bike, and shake off the BB Brainmelt. Please mind the critters for me? I'll be back..
This post will be updated throughout the BB afternoon. Please refresh periodically for new info.

Is she serious??? So if Aaryn takes herself off the block Elissa will think about working with her? I know it will apease all the Mcranda haters, but I hope Aaryn wins POV and is the one that disposes of Elissa
Good afternoon Carolyn
Is this week over yet?
It reminds me off when Brendon won HOH and thought he was in the Brigade
Elissa's logic is not solid ... more like Jell-O.
I think that even after Elissa leaves the house and watches the show, she still wont see how she is playing Helens game. Helens poor sportsmaship at loosing to Amanda. Amanda was her biggest alli untill she heard about Helen wanting to take her out. And Andy! wow. Ok so this is big brother but I still love when, if you make a pact, stick to it till the end, if they all would have done that, they all would have made it to the final 6, but Helens need to be political and take out Amanda who cleary cant win a comp and is disliked by everybody. they could have all beat her in the end. The peranoid fools! I say no one should win. I cant hear so well, and Judd mumbles, I just cant be around mumblers cuz I cant hear them and I cant read there lips so Ive never been a judd fan. I guess really GM needs it the most, but Gah1 can you imagine?
I don't think a Pandora's box this week would be suspicious (of production favoring Elissa) at all. The first one is usually good for the HOH, and it's about time. It might even unleash Zingbot on the other HGs, since Amanda's spidey sense is telling her it's about that time.
I am also actually looking forward to Elissa's DR sessions on TV to see if she does have a secret plan we aren't hearing with the other HGs. Wish she would talk to the camera for us!
oy Elissa...there are rats every where in that house!
Also, I dont want Elissa to get a power with a Padoras box, She has done nothing in this game to desearve it. just my honest opinion.
I have never posted here before, but love this site and all the regular commentators. Oddly feels like family each summer :)
I am just overly annoyed with Elissa and her non-rational thinking and here I thought Amanda was the worst. Go Judd!
Carolyn you crack me up. Hope you have a soft pillow for you head
It amazes me that we all complained about none of these people have an independent thought and now that Elissa does we dislike her for that. Aaryn is a threat to anyone playing at this time. McCrae and Amanda also, Andy is a serious player and a"shady f" as he likes to say Spencer is just a waste. GM and Judd are easy. I believe Elissa will nominate McRae and Aaryn
Mr. Bean? Money fixes a lot of problems
Now comes the part of the game I hate the most. Aaryn selling out Amanda, McCrae selling out Aaryn, Andy selling out everybody. I know it's a necessary evil but I absolutely hate this part.
One thing that is driving me crazy. Judd seems to blame Helen, Amanda and McCrae for his eviction. I understand the Amanda and Helen part. He knows there are 2 people that did not want him to go. Elissa was one of them. I wish someone would let him know that McCrae was the other one. If Amanda goes home this week I hope Elissa lets Judd know how upset McCrae was after he got evicted. I want that every bit as much for personal reasons as for game reasons.
I thought they weren't supposed to absolutely state who noms were going to be. But this isn't the first Hoh I have heard them state who noms would be
Hi Jumbo :)
brb - gotta reboot!
I have never posted here before, but love this site and all the regular commentators. Oddly feels like family each summer :)
I am just overly annoyed with Elissa and her non-rational thinking and here I thought Amanda was the worst. Go Judd!
I think Elissa might actually be gunning for Amanda (I hope) and be using this Aaryn thing as a front to backdoor her.
I hope Aaryn wins POV so bad. As much as I like McCrae, I'd be more intrigued by the game if she won.
Silly McCrae. He thinks he can use logic and reason with Elissa. lulz
I really hope Aaryn is just a front for Elissa to hopefully backdoor Amanda.
I hope MCCrae goes home. Judd, Elissa, Arryn GM work togather and get Andy/Ama next.
If Elissa wins pov she takes down mccrae?
Then it is clear she wants to Back door Amanda
Clear as mud
I think Aaryn should win POV take herself off the block. Put Amanda up because she will make everyone vote for her because she is self destructive.
Well now Aaryn just isn't being realistic. "If anyone declared loyalty to me and they vote me out they will not get my vote in jury."
Unless you have an alliance of two that is unrealistic. Once two members of an alliance are on the block people have to make the choice that is best for their game. Almost everyone started out in different alliances that eventually came together.
Elissa may have some unorthodox ideas but at least she is doing it her way.I wasn't a big fan of hers but she isn't letting anyone sway her.Amanda should try remaining in an upright position for more than 5 min. and start considering the fact that maybe not everyone fears her.
CAROLYN "Some day, in another lifetime, Gm may find a light source strong enough to guide her out from the depths of Elissa's colon."
I thought I would bust a gut laughing because I was thinking the same thing!!!!
Hi Everyone :)
I have major BB brainmelt.. I'm gonna go for a quick bike ride to shake it off.
be back in an hour..
Yay...noms!
From a game stand point, I can understand the reason for her to nominate...
McCrae: Part of the McCranda Empire that has used everyone to further their game( Kudos for that), and is the reason Helen is gone.
Arryn: She was too intimidated to play her own game( that alone is a good reason), Kills at comps and has targeted Elissa.
If one comes down Amanda goes up!
its still a win win despite where the votes fall.
This nomination will bring out the worst and the Best in BB players...
At this point I find difficulty with most of them on a personal level so, just focusing on game!
I actually think Elissa's logic is right on. She wants Aaryn out (a person who is fierce in comps and doesn't like her and has put her on the block at least twice).
From her point of view Aaryn would be harder to beat in comps. Everyone is trying to tell her it would make more sense to put GM up to make certain that Aaryn goes home. But, she's smart enough to know that there's a good chance GM would go instead since Amanda is using Aaryn to win the comps.
By putting Aaryn up against McCrae, Aa will go home and then she has a better chance in future competitions. If Aaryn comes off the block then she puts up Amanda and she still gets out a strong player.
And as far as it making her a target for next week...please...she was already a target.
Most of all I love that someone is finally playing Big Brother and not bowing down to "The House".
Oh and btw, I'm not even an Elissa fan. I'm really hoping Judd can pull a first in BB history and be a returning player that wins the game.
Ok king of conspiracy theories here. First, without watching the comp last night, it occurs to me that this is the easiest endurance comp to fix ever. Simply adjust the launch angle and the speed of the cannons shooting in Elissa's direction and voila her chances improve exponentially without it be visible. If they wanted to make up for that, I would suggest that they give her a Pandora's Box that traps her with someone her sister hated and releases Zingbot on the house. The best part would be making the zings the veto comp so Elissa has no chance because she was up in the HOH room trapped.
Afternoon Carolyn and BB Dishers!
I think Elissa nominating Aaryn and McCrae would be brilliant. With Am and Mc up (hope no one checks my math)
Theres 100% chance both play in veto
Theres a 33.3 % chance one wins veto....I want to change those odds but its mathematical truth
IF McCrae wins, which Elissa is thinking is more likely and he hasnt decided to throw it to Am, he could poss be swayed by Am to take her off the block cos she is the bigger threat and no one will vote him out over Aa.
With Aa and Mc on the block
Theres a 60% chance Am gets to play veto and a 1 in 6 chance she wins it. Thats a risk that has to be taken.
Mc WILL fight to take himself off, Am will make sure he does bcos she will believe they can poss have influence over the replacement....IF Elissa can keep Am thinking Aa is her target. And she may be......But Aa is a beast in comps. So theres at LEAST a 33% chance ONE of the noms will come down, more depending on whos playing. Better to have Aa and Mc needing to take themselves off than winning veto and taking off either Am or Mc. I also think it doesnt quite matter to E matter who goes up, E will have to fight to win veto next week and she knows that.
Im sure shes hoping she or Mc does win but if Aa wins and/or GM if she plays, Am goes up. I think this is her BEST scenario. I know she strongly dislikes Aa but in any event she should be able to accomplish getting one of her targets out. I also think having Aa and Mc on the block together will cause a riff in the alliance as sides will have to be taken. Its def the best move for HER game. She knows theres no love lost between her and Aa so she may as well put her up there. And she can claim that if her intent was to take out Am/Mc she wouldve put both up. Perhaps new alliances will be made this week. It may be faulty but its my logic.
I personally think Am has played a great Game thus far and if she wins at this rate she will deserve it. But on a personal level Im still hoping for anyone else aside from Amanda, Aaryn, Spencer, Gm or Andy to win.
I am a Judd fan. I was never an Elissa or Rachel fan. Last night initially people were rallying to get Judd out. They had already targeted Elissa for eviction. Now Elissa has won two of the biggest competitions. She wants to protect Judd. By putting up GM everyone would just rally to get GM out. Now the two couples are pitted against each other. New alliances will form. I believe this gives Judd time to make a new alliance and maybe will lessen the target on Elissa. I think she is doing the best for her game. I have newfound respect for her!
***stretch*** ***yawn***
(shaking the cobwebs from my head)
Is it morning yet? I had a terrible nightmare. I dreamed Elissa won HoH. It was horrible. She proved she didn't understand this game at all. She didn't nominate McRanda together, just McCrae and Amanda won the PoV so they were both safe.
But then I kept hearing Judd's voice pop in and out and I'd feel a tingling in my loins. I woke up with major wood so it wasn't all bad. :-p~
Good morning Carolyn. I'm sure you wish it was Sanity Sunday already. You deserve a big raise for all you do. I'll be hitting the tip jar again on the 3rd.
Good morning all. Looks like I missed a lot of lather rinse repeat and no one, including Elissa knows what she is going to do yet. Seems like everyone has speculated both in the house and in the comments so I'll just say I agree with <-- (insert your name here.)
I need medication and a feeding. I'll be back.
:o)
GaYToR
5. Don't bother calling any female HG a whore, Ho, slut, skank, etc... It will not be published. Let's remember they're all human, ok? :)
6. Please refer to the HGs by their given names. Altering them only leads to an unfriendly climate in the comment section, and we try really hard to avoid that.
Well, a lot of people want Judd and Elissa to be an alliance and to make final 2. Not me. I hope that if Amanda is on the block and thinks she is going home (or even if she isn't on the block) that Amanda pulls Judd aside and tells him McCrae really didn't want to get rid of him.
McCrae said several times that he didn't think a suspicion was a good enough reason to do it. He didn't want to make a mistake. He also said if he had won that HOH he wouldn't have been able to do it.
I hope there is some way for McCrae and Judd to work together again. If Andy can get it together (he has been a little rodent like since everything started going to shite) I would be fine with Andy or Spencer (or both) joining them.
I would be willing to compromise and have Judd and Elissa work together if McCrae could work with them as a final 3 and if Elissa got Renegaded / Brigaded at the end.
Sorry for your eyes , this is a place of love, peace people. We all have our own ideas of how we would like the house guests to act or not act, but rudeness is not allow and do not put our Godess of the dish through that. She is the best and if you don't like us, don't let the door hit ya!
P.S. Gaytor you are my hero, you say what is on your mind.
I tried listening to Elissa/Judd convo with my big speakers. Elissa is into revisionist history - blaming his eviction more on Amanda/McCrae than Helen. Judd seems to be buying it.
My hope this week is that IF the noms are McCrae and Aaryn, then Amanda wins POV, pulls off McCrae, and then anyone besides Judd goes up and out.
Then we get EVERYONE ticked at Elissa, and send her to jury the following week.
Susan Baker...exactly what I have been thinking.
Maybe we fans are as wishy-washy as the houseguests!!
If Amanda and Mccrae by the power of BB gods remain safe this week by one of them winning Veto, wouldn't it be poetic justice for Andy to be the renom. Don't you think he is more dangerous than Spencer. Although I truly dislike spencer, I don't like his gameplay either. I do believe Elissa will give Judd a fighting chance this week. I'm sure Elissa realizes this people did not have her back. Judd better realize that wether it was Helen or Amanda who might have suggested him as a nom it was Aaryn who nominated him and the vote was unanimous so if Mccrae, spencer, Andy and Amanda truly didn't want him to leave why didn't they save him with their votes. Just saying. Blood is everywhere in this house but no one takes responsibility for anything. Carolyn I am sure that you are exhausted. I wish I could help you but for personal reasons I can't have the feeds this year and beside that my writing skills are not as good as yours. But I do wish you any easy night tonight and then after dark.
If Elissa ends up evicting Aaryn she will be playing Amanda's game and next week will return to house norm with Amanda still in charge.
I think everyone is Going to work with and for Elissa. Right intil after the POV ceremony. Then she will cry and wonder where is Helen
Can anyone tell me what McCrae has done to even deserve to make the final 3 BB?
My opinion - nothing. Apart from winning the first HOH which in a way was handed to him by Jeremy, all he did was hide behind Amanda. I cannot recall anything about him that makes him deserving to make it all the way to the end.
With that said, I am glad that this week isn't a snoozefest.
Carolyn I apologize for not typing out the Houseguests entire name in my post. I thought it might become too long using the full names and that most would understand by the first 2 letters which houseguest I was referring to.
I don't think I can stomach 6 more days of Elissa's HOH. I think now is a great time for me to take a break from Big Brother and the feeds. I am most likely alone on this but I am an Aaryn fan and was a HUGE Judd fan and now that this new "Julissa" alliance formed, I am pulling away from Judd. I really hope Aaryn pulls out this veto win and saves herself. She should continue to target Elissa until Elissa goes home. Hopefully that will be next week. I don't think I have ever disliked a houseguest as much as I dislike Elissa. Her holier than thou elitist attitude to me is so hard to stomach. And Elissa has blinders on. She keeps saying that Aaryn is jealous of her and that is why Aaryn is so mean to her. What?! Jealous of what? I hope there is no PB this week but I think there will be. I am sure Elissa had stipulations in order to agree to go on the show, one of them being that she gets help from production to go far in the game. She can't play for HOH next week and will need a way to save herself. Production will be in charge of that one. If she wins this season, I am totally DONE with Big Brother.
Vana - that wasn't directed toward you at all.. at all..
Ugh another 6 days of Elissa's horrible HOH. I was so depressed when she won. I couldn't possibly dislike her more than I already do. She has so much hate/jealousy of Aaryn, that she is using it to ruin her own game. She needs to go after McCranda but instead targets someone she dislikes on a personal level. I am a Judd fan and watching him team up with Aaryn is heartbreaking. I also like Aaryn and hope she pulls off this veto win more than anything! That would definitely stick it to Elissa.
Everyone -
I'm sorry I've been so non-responsive today.. 4 hours sleep in 48 hours has me feeling like a zombie. I'll be back to myself tomorrow. :)
Thank you very much for being here.
xo,
C
It's been a fun day on the feeds. Everyone making their pitch and an HoH without a posse and Judd is back in the house. Things are looking up.
Thanks Carolyn, I just wanted to make sure and apologize if it was. I DO hope u get some much needed rest soon. Thanks for all you do. Im sending good thoughts and a little something else your way.
Vana, A 33% chance to win would be if only 3 were playing. But 6 will be. So that cuts it in half. Just saying. To figure the chance of playing, I think you divide the 8 HGs into 100% then subtract 2 times that number from 100....what's left if the chance of one playing.
Caroline Bradshaw, I agree with you completely. Elissa makes me ill. My cousin (one of the most awful people everrrr) learned to talk like Elissa in charm school. Not the mmm'ing and moaning but the voice modulation. For years she could manipulate everyone. Finally they figured out how despicable she was... I see Elissa using that voice much the same way. But add that duck lip implant and the bizarre mumbling and moaning noises and it's so creepy.
Everyone is always putting info into their praise of her that is totally fictional. We have no evidence at all that she lives the way she purports to demand others do. She is an enigma who has kept her life a secret. I don't mean things about husband or kids, I mean, what did she do after high school?
She mentions "college" but has no degree and never says anything about life experiences or friends from those times. Nothing about living near a school...normal things people share... Classes, hobbies... Just religion and yoga, all now, like she switched identities (we know she didn't but she is just like a person who did).
She says she is only in favor of accomplishing things for yourself, blah blah blah. Yet all we know she has done is become a hair stylist after saying she was in nurse's training, and reproducing. Oh, and yoga. Everything else has been paid for by hubby in the last year. Did she work? Start other businesses? What did she do consistent with striving for everything she has? It's been over a decade! I smell bs!
Maybe just her husband's children should do everything for themselves...lots of stepmothers believe that. Never apply it to their own spa treatments, plastic surgery, hair extensions or hobbies...mmmm...mmmm...
