Big Brother 15 Live Feed Highlights – Saturday, July 20, 2013
8:45 AM BBT – HGs up and still trying to figure out what Julie’s comment about the MVP twist meant.
9:23 AM BBT – Elissa having a very strange exchange with Judd. She’s telling him to backdoor her & talking about how he and the other HGs don’t understand how hard it is to be away from family. She tells him she’s with production and just there as a prank. Judd is thoroughly confused and Elissa continues to mess with his head. She’s upset with him.
10:00 AM BBT – Judd is still flustered by Elissa’s behavior and looking at if they could evict her.
10:50 AM BBT – Feeds return and we find out Elissa is the MVP nominee. Helen & McCrae were picked to play in the Veto competition as well.
10:55 AM BBT – HGs start wondering if Elissa could nominate herself. Let the wild speculation begin. Everyone guessing some weird situation on how Elissa could have been picked as the nominee.
12:15 PM BBT – HGs still scrambling to figure out the situation. No understands what happened or what is going on. They think Elissa might be trying to position herself for another opportunity or benefit coming up in the competition.
4:00 PM BBT – Live Feeds return from the Veto competition. Elissa won the Veto. We get a quick glimpse of the comp: “Veto Election.” There were prizes & punishments. McC won $5K. Everyone else is punished including Judd getting solitary confinement for 24 hours.
4:20 PM BBT – Howard is panicking that he’s being set up with the MVP situation.
4:30 PM BBT – Helen, Howard, & Candice discussing Amanda. They’re growing suspicious of her.
5:00 PM BBT – Wild speculation continues in the HoH room. They think Elissa was acting weird. Amanda concerned about Howard. Elsewhere Elissa is guessing Judd put her up and this is connected back to her weird conversation with him this morning.
5:15 PM BBT – Judd goes to his solitary confinement punishment in the Lounge. He has an alarm clock in there that goes off every 9 mins and requires him to manually hit “snooze” each time. It’s awful. Meanwhile, Amanda and McCrae have taken over Judd’s HoH room and plan to stay there while Judd is in confinement.
5:40 PM BBT – More anti-Amanda talk this time with Helen and Elissa. They’re comparing notes on what she’s been doing. Helen later warns Andy about Amanda.
6:20 PM BBT – Now Elissa having the same Amanda talk with Howard. Everyone seems to be catching on to what Amanda has been doing (trying to control the house).
6:45 PM BBT – After Elissa talks with Candice about Amanda they go upstairs to confront her. Candice walks right in to the HoH room and asks Amanda why she told Aaryn was safe this week. Candice is upset because the goal was to evict Aaryn this week and now she thinks Amanda is targeting Howard (she is) instead of focusing on getting out the girl who made racial attacks on them. It’s a lengthy, semi-heated exchange worth watching.
7:11 PM BBT – Elissa mentions “they were really mad at me this morning.” Sounds like she was referring to production. There’s speculation she was given info in the DR about the MVP or possibly her nomination.
7:25 PM BBT – Aaryn joins the HoH discussion which halts. The whole time they were talking about evicting her she was right outside the door playing chess. Aaryn says she doesn’t know why the house is against her. I believe her. She’s totally clueless about her offenses and won’t understand when she’s evicted. Aaryn doesn’t think the things she’s said or done were bad.
8:05 PM BBT – Helen has to go to bed for her curfew. This is her punishment from the comp. She can’t talk to anyone.
8:10 PM BBT – Elissa is wrapping her body in Saran wrap so she can sweat and exercise while on lockdown inside the house. When Elissa asked who would wrap her McCrae offered, but Amanda shut him down on that idea.
9:15 PM BBT – Spencer warns Aaryn that she’s the target. He then discusses possible deals with her.
10:05 PM BBT – Kaitlin & GM discussing the Veto competition. They think the game was stacked in Elissa’s favor.
11:50 PM BBT – Elissa & Aaryn talking. Elissa says she wasn’t going after Aaryn.
12:00 AM BBT – It’s McCrae’s birthday. There’s a celebration. Amanda is all dressed up.
12:45 AM BBT – Amanda is upset because Elissa made rude comments about her appearance.
2:00 AM BBT – Amanda and McCrae appear to take full advantage of the privacy of Judd’s HoH room for the night.
Saturday was nuts in the house. This shake-up with the MVP twist had really put the house on edge, but after three weeks of Elissa holding the power it’s just made the HGs fear and accuse her of mischief with this week’s MVP nom. Sunday should be a little calmer as the HGs await the Veto Ceremony on Monday afternoon when we’ll find out who was next in line from the voting.

McCrea is like a kid in a candy store.
Pizza Boy pursued by a Super Busty Business Woman…. yup…. Candy Store all the way.
Kind of disrespectful for Amanda and McCrae to take over the HOH room. Hope production washes the sheets before Judd gets back. lol
Indeed. They did the same thing with Aaryn’s HoH and tried to do it with Helen’s… taking for the room I mean, not sleeping and doing whatever in it.
Amanda has a good side to her, but every action she takes screams female chauvinist to me.
She’s entitled and has a temper when things don’t go her way. Apparently Elissa went unstable last night around the witching hour. What was that all about?
Elissa is just a strange person, I think. She is not anything like her sister in temperament or personality.
I get the feeling there is something we don’t know about her but it could be she is just a weird person.
She’s weird. I wanted her out the first 2 weeks then I kind of liked her and felt a little sorry for her. Now the last 2 days she is acting so weird. She changes from one minute to the next. Maybe that’s why production fills her in on things and bends the rules to favor her because they’re afraid she’ll flip out on them.
I agree about her being very weird and I have a hard time following her when she talks. She says things at times that make no sense and yesterday watching her on the feeds was the most bizarre I think I have seen her.
My guess is that Production realizes they made an oopsy. Somewhat explained to Elissa what happened and stacked the Veto comp in her favor a little bit to counter the accident, “fix” the situation, and not be accused of taking “direct” action.
Well it may not have been an “oopsy” at all. Think about it. What would get more people to watch/talk? Have the most hated HG on the block. Check. Put America’s darling on the block as well to incite a forum/twitter/Facebook frenzy. Check. Stack the comp in favor of the darling who was never in any real danger. Sighs of relief all around. Just throwing another conspiracy theory in the mix.
Sounds right to me…they do manipulate this show to how they want things to happen. I just wish for one season they would let the players play the game and leave things alone.
They did in the initial seasons, I think, leave the game alone for the most part. But outside of the Chilltown alliance, it was kinda boring.
Some tampering happened early. In the 1st season the public evicted the HGs. Trouble was the public got out the icky people leaving the nice people in the game. The show got boring. So the producers offered the HGs $20,000 if they would give up their spot in the house and allow an “evil” girl to enter. The HGs refused. So it didn’t work that time, but gave the producers ideas for later seasons.
Good memory artyom. I watched and totally forgot that the public evicted the HGs the first season.
Thanks. I remember Will Mega from the 1st year. He had some very in-your-face political views. The self imposed “voice of the black man.” The public got rid of him so fast. Now here we are 15 years later and we’ve got the other side of the coin with Aaryn. And Amanda. And Spencer. LOL In some ways we’ve progressed and in other ways it’s the same arguments.
I do remember him artyom. I wish we could say we have progressed, but in some ways I think it has gotten worse. While the Internet is a wonderful thing I think people actually say a lot more today because they can do it on a computer. I read a very interesting article that made some very valid points. One of which is TV and what everyone is exposed to in today’s society. You have certain shows that make comments and joke about these same issues. You even have all kinds of Reality TV shows where talk like this goes on a lot. These HGs are a younger group for the most part and may actually have more exposure then what was shown on TV 15 years ago where TV viewing was a bit different. Social media was not what it is today, etc. Not trying to excuse them by any means, but now after last night even Andy made some remarks. I don’t have the answer, but I in some ways see us going in the opposite direction. I sometimes take a look at what some people say in the chat rooms and see comments that are no different than what we are being shown on the show. If people don’t agree with someone’s opinion then it becomes all out war. I also agree with your post above about it not being an “oopsy”. It’s all about ratings which I read have increased which means more money in the network’s pockets.
Indeed. It’s depressing. I’ve noticed in the last few years that racism has started cropping up more and more. It’s a reaction to the other extreme that is being forced down our throats which is basically all this Politically correct nonsense, and hate speech nonsense, and affirmative action, and other such things that are ways to censor people and being bigoted in other ways.
I could go on a long tirade about how our education system is completely being repair at this point with free expression and free speech being considered inappropriate on college/university campuses. free expression btw does include racism and sexism. The point is to be exposed to all types of ideas and for you to figure out whether it’s right or wrong… rather than other people telling you its good/bad/loving/hateful…
But yeah, anyways, has to do with extremism and zealotry and people not being properly educated. As extreme groups get rooted they become more extreme and generally the ones rooting out these extremists tend to also get overzealous and become extreme in their positions as well… Right now we are seeing a ton of this going on with Religion, Race, sex, gender, nationality, age, etc… so it’s forming somewhat of an ideological black hole pile up that we can only try to pick the right side, be open minded, and discuss openly about to get the various problems heard.
There were also reports that the HG’s in BB1 also threatened production to do a walk-out over issues surrounding the game.
Take note, BBUS and BBUK were the first international versions of Big Brother so it was a real test of working out what works for them. Many versions followed BBUK’s format while other than Canada, elements of BBUSA crepts it s way in on latter versions in the past half decade. :D
Totally agreed! Even moreso I wish they would STOP using part time models, actors, and fraternity kings/queens. How about ”joe” the taxi cab driver, or ”alice” the waitress who struggles to make ends meet, or…etc, etc, etc. Some plants are fine, but when the whole cast is the rejected cast of Jersey Shore & America’s Next Top Model, where and when does the ”reality” part of this come into play?
Wow you hit the nail on the head. They cast on looks and like you said a few is ok but what about someone in there 60’s or like you said the average Joe.
See this panic is what i was hoping for from mvp not the oh ellisa’s got mvp lets campaign to her.
The MVP could have been a good idea, but I agree that it is only interesting if the MVP does not reveal himself/herself. They should have made it so that the MVP is not allowed to tell anyone and also set it up so no one can win 2 weeks in a row.
I agree if they had done what you are suggesting it may have worked. The way they set it up for this season proved a disaster.
Is is good that Candace is realizing that Amanda is trying to take out Howard. That makes a good counter balance on the opposite end as we know there is an Alliance of Judd, Amanda, McCrae and Andy. That atleast, keeps the other side of Helen, Elissa, Jessie, Candace and Howard aware of that plan. They should all be mindful of the fact that the job is not finished until
Aaryn, Gina Marie, Spencer and Kaitlyn are all evicted from the Big Brother House! Then, all of them can play the game for that $500,000 and that $50,000 2nd place prize. Not to mention America’s Favorite Player with its cash prize too! Three chances at big money and all 9 remaining house guests have a 1 in 3 chance if they stick to plan and not rock the boat
for now anyway.
Wise words & strategy… but I’m having doubts as to whether the folks inside the house see things as clearly as you do right now.
I agree Matt S. They may be aware of the plan, but I haven’t seen strong game play by Helen, Elissa, Jessie, Candace and Howard yet. I say yet because it may change. Helen talks too much for one thing and unless it is fake Howard is in an alliance with Spencer. Even Elissa again if not fake joined Howard and Spencer.
I love the paranoia going on inside the house right now hehehe.
I know! THIS is what Big Brother is all about! Watching these people lose their minds in that house!
Honestly, I didn’t understand any of that! What was the veto comp and how could it have been stacked in Elissa’s favor? Also, I agree that the main focus should be to get GM, Aaryn, Spencer, and Kaitlin out before the HGs start picking each other off. Once the “villains” are gone, the comp will get more interesting. It will be funny to see who emerges as “good and who emerges as “bad.”
from what ive gathered from jokers it seems like the comp had individual lanes for each contestant with chips or cards or something with a number and you wanted the higher numbers. Several contestants have said that their lanes only had 2-7 range of numbers but when arrayn switched lanes to see if she could have better luck she found that ellissas lane had all the really big numbers. Atleast thats what she’s claiming but others have also agreed that elissas lane had large numbers.
Oh, I see. I thought that they were just asking the HGs questions again. Thanks!
I prefer kaitlin to go instead of aaryn as she is more dangerous. certainly smarter than arryn. I can’t wait until howard is gone, he is freaky.
They’re both pretty formidable. Kaitlin’s certainly smarter, but Aaryn’s more physical. She held out the longest of the girls in the first Endurance comp. And she’s petite, so as soon as they do the “tilting wall” HOH comp, Aaryn’ll win hands down.
Hopefully she’ll be out next Thursday.
I’m not so sure about Aaryn being stronger. She may have won that endurance comp in the beginning, but who’s placed higher in every comp since that time? Kaitlyn. Aaryn is hated and a ”bad seed” which is why people would want to reconsider taking her out – why not take her until the jury then boot her out either just before jury time, or early into it?
I know everyone is in love with Amanda, but honestly, her and McCrae acting like they own the HOH room is really starting to piss me off. I’m not sure why the HG’s are even putting up with it – if anyone else was acting like they owned the HOH room, people would be freaking out on them. I hope Amanda gets pushed off her pedestal ASAP.
Amanda needs to win something. Otherwise she looks like one of those hangers-on.
People are already starting to turn on Amanda. They realize she is a controlling bully. I have a feeling she’s going up in Elissas place unless CBS tries to manipulate that.
I agree and GM certainly noticed and said the same thing you did mag00. She thought it was totally wrong for Amanda and McCrae to take over the room like that. She said it was so disrespectful to Judd who was in solitary confinement. GM would visit Judd laying down and talking with him at the door, but I never saw Amanda do it at all. I think all the other HG’s did except for Amanda. She didn’t want to leave that room. At first McCrae seemed to be uncomfortable with it, but then gave in. I did see him visit Judd at the door at least one time.
Maybe im completely alone in this but McCrae kind of reminds me of Ollie from season 10, both were fit and comp threats, both were in powerhouse alliances in day one, both got into a showmance day one and boy imedietly chose the showmance over the alliance, screwing over atleast one of his allies. Honestly i wouldnt be suprised if he shares the same fate of going down with the ship when amandas brashness gets them both targeted by the rest of the house.
here goes folks….best Twitter line..(wish I had of thought it up) Aaryn wins HOH..Pandoras box appears..Aaryn opens it.. out jumps (are u ready?) CHIMA!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
Yep nothing says good trash tv like getting one angry, racist, big mouth to combat another… Maybe they can get Jerry Springer in there to referee!
I like Elissa but she went cray cray yesterday. I hope she acts a little smarter today.
Her comments about Amanda’s experience were extremely rude/uncalled for.
Breathe it out E, you are acting cuckoo for cocoa puffs
U ARE WHAT U WEAR…sorry but the outfit did look trashy and again it showed Amandas real age of 38 not 28
I think that Amanda was acting silly for Mccrae and no matter how I thought she looked, I wouldn’t be so mean as to say she was chubby, or I would vomit if mccrae licked whip cream off her.
I think Amanda is a bossy busy body but this was just mean and unnecessary
I agree…and Elissa’s the one that complains about every word that comes out of Aaryn’s mouth but she was a mean girl herself last night.
I agree as well and I heard Elissa make fun of her wearing a one piece bathing suit and then made a comment about not understanding how any woman would ever wear a one piece bathing suit ever. That comment was not directed to just Amanda and I happened to notice while watching the feeds the chat room that was on to the right explode with angry females who wear one piece bathing suits. I see nothing wrong with one piece bathing suits and wear one myself. There were fish like crazy last night and you could see they didn’t want us to hear everything going on.
I know, but she took that opportunity to rally the girls on her side. Remember she was paranoid all day. A tough girl like her, I thought the crying was not believable. Big Ang was strategizig again….she’s a good player.
I hope it doesn’t backfire on her is all. She was being so weird with Judd. And the stuff with annoying production was over the top.
I want the normal, sane Elissa back
Crying is not her usual mode of operation. I don’t believe her. It’s a ploy to garner sympathy because she knows she has bullied a bit too much and is in danger. She needs to put her big girl panties back on and play the game like i know she can.
You are probably right Cyril in regards to Amanda, but I didn’t like Elissa’s comments at all. I think she went too far because she included women in general with her one piece bathing suit comment unless it was not intentional. If not Elissa did a poor job and totally was acting weird all day.
In all fairness, they need to show that incident to America.
I agree Cyril.
I hope the MVP twist lasts until jury and a few weeks after that they bring back the coup d’état! That will make things so exciting!
Good god, please no. Don’t bring back that piece of crap coup d’etat, especially not if America votes for it. The last thing we need is Elissa getting that kind of power -_-
Do I tweet my dream about Spencer, or save it for therapy?
lol Maybe both Cyril.
lol..morning Jacee, what are you up to?.Listening to Helen talk forever?
Good morning Cyril. Oh no, Helen must be able to talk again. lol I haven’t turned on the feeds yet because I was up until 5:00 am listening to everything. I didn’t mind that she had to go to bed at 8:00 pm. lol Have to turn them on and see what’s up. She must be talking to herself because she said she would be up for 7 hours before anyone else got up.
Oh no!
Wow I just flashed back to last night after midnight and can’t believe all the rude/racist comments. And no not from Aaryn. Amanda made quite few, GM made quite a few and even Andy made couple. Now if CBS does not show the others behavior then they are just showing who their favorites are. Also Elissa was drunk and showed her true colors. She was such a mean girl. But then today says I was joking. Oh it’s ok for her to joke but nobody else can. And I don’t excuse Aaryn at all but last night she said after GM and Andy made racist comments so it’s okay for everyone else to talk like that but I get called a racist. And you know what she is right. CBS needs to show how they all are acting. INCLUDING ELISSA!!!!
@Lavendargirl I totally agree and great post. I watched until 5:00 am and saw all this take place. You are so right what is fair is fair. The whole country is talking about this and making it seem wrong by Aaryn alone and like you I don’t condone what Aaryn said to begin with, but why are they just picking on her? I haven’t turned on the feeds yet, but if she is saying she was joking to excuse it that is just a cover up. If she was joking and gets away with it then all the rest should be excused for joking just like her and that includes Aaryn. I completely agree Aaryn was right when she said that last night. Even Spencer although he didn’t make racist type remarks was super creepy last night with the way he was talking.
Elissa is the golden girl of Big Brother & CBS. Can’t imagine why.
wtf Amanda… I wanted to like you, but now, I don’t know. If she goes up as the MVP renom, she (and we all) could be in trouble (AKA stuck with Aaryn for another week or more).
It was totally disrespectful of McCrae and Amanda to use the HOH room like they won it by sleeping on the bed and eating all Judd’s food while Judd was in solitary confinement.
Please Back Door Amanda!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Amandas crying fest over Elissa’s comments about her outfit was to say the least “totally fake”. The person crying is the same person that wore nothing but band aids and a bikini bottom for the entire house to gawk at…So please don’t tell me that Amanda is self conscious about her body or her weight.. AND SHE DID LOOK LIKE AN OVER THE HILL STRIPPER/POLE DANCER…
I have come to the conclusion that Howard is a control freak. He is always telling Candace to hush up, listen…don’t care for him at all. This religion thing is wearing thin with him for me. He just told Candace he will not lie in this game…we will see, Howard..if you want to make it to the end, I am not sure that can be done.
