We at least had Britney that season.

If I'm in the house right now, Aaryn is my #1 pick to go to the end with. I can't lose the jury vote against her!

Plus, if she's released too early she might do something rash, like invading Poland.

Is the audience for this show much bigger than I think it is or something? I mean, I'm a fan of the show and all, but almost as soon as the season ends I forget about most of these people. When they're sitting there talking about past houseguests, I only recognize/remember a few of them, and even then only by name sometimes. How easily recognized is she going to be on the street?

True, but who wants her to get $50,000 out of this either? That'll only be worth it if CBS can claim because of her racist views, she's violated the contract and she's getting no money whatsoever.

Based on the concept of her current notoriety? It's possible she could be easily recognized. Depends on if TMZ and other places decide to follow her to see what life is like outside of BB.

However, that also means she has to venture north of the Mason/Dixon line and you can be sure this girl will NEVER leave the security of the Confederacy.

It looks like Elissa might not be "dead" quite yet. Judd has been working on flipping Jessie for awhile now. He's actually nice to her; something her own "alliance" has never been. If Jessie flips, then that puts McCrae in a tough spot as the ultimate decision maker this week.

A a huge BB fan, I think he knows what side he'd prefer to work with (what thinking person could look at a runaway train wreck like Jeremy and want to work with him), but he's stuck in the MC alliance. Basically, he's kind of screwed either way. He gets to betray a bunch of people no matter how he votes.

McCrae seems like he's enjoying being part of what he probably views as the cool kids. They will use him, but I definitely don't see him having the spine to go against that group. If he's the key to Elissa staying, then tomorrow is going to be a sad episode of BB, especially if another one from that group wins HOH.

Yeah, but a lot of the "cool kids" are not so secretly targeting Amanda, and she's probably more woman than that pizza boy has ever seen before. He's in an awkward spot right now.

If I were McCrae, I'd oust Nick and plant a seed that they had been betrayed by Jeremy.

1. Jeremy already voted against the rest of TMC when he voted Elissa last week.
2. Say Jeremy wanted to get rid of Nick so he could control TMC. Spencer and Howard are more passive players.
3. Jeremy or Amanda... not a tough decision.
4. McCrae should know that he's the low man on the totem pole; he wouldn't be part of that alliance if he didn't win the first HOH comp. He's basically the nerdy kid who the jocks will let hang around for a while so he can do their homework.

If he flips and the rest of his new alliance knows for sure it's him and not Spencer or Howard, then it's a good move. Because no matter the ramifications (Jeremy will "hulk out" for sure) as long as Elissa's in the game and on her side then they have the votes to get out whoever they want the next few weeks. It guarantees jury.

But can he trust Jessie, who really, really, really wants to be one of the "cool kids". They treat her like dirt though.

If this happens then it will be Jeremy, Howard, and Spencer's fault for trying too hard to get Amanda out when she's not even on the block.

Jessie really wants a showmance, though...and I think she thinks she still has a shot with Nick. Will she really oust him?

Looks like Spencer might have sussed out the plan and realized he and Howard were on the wrong side so they're probably flipping now too.

Please be more specific.

As of now, are things turning in Elissa's favor? How good does it look?

Thx.

Just reading Jokers, it appears that Helen was kind of coy with Spencer today, and he immediately deduced that Jessie flipped. Once the numbers were against them they decided it might be better to be a part of the numbers considering they had been lying all week about being a part of it anyway. Judd has Howard and Spencer pegged though.

I would be surprised if Nick stayed. Too bad, b/c I liked Nick. I would much rather this be Jeremy or Spencer. Nick couldn't form real relationships in the house though. Nobody trusted him.

You're making me nervous. Now I'm probably going to have to cheat because I live out West.

Nick is Brian Hart 2.0 from BB9. Wannabe Mastermind early boot who no one trusts and doesn't attempt to socialize with those outside his alliance.

YES!

and then later in the episode

YES! YES! YES!

That entire episode was just awesome from beginning to end. It's always great to see a cocky douche like Jeremy brought down a notch.

They really need to stop casting so many lunatics, assuming it's the best way to attract viewers.

GM and Aaryn are already out of the game mentally, both more worried about the boys that they met for a few weeks than winning. Kaitlin is just saying the most vile things and, actually, Jeremy seems to be acting more like an adult than any of the others who feel "betrayed."

I can actually hear GM screaming, "why? why? why?" if I open up my west-facing windows. She's not thinking about moving on and winning, she's already verbalized her biggest concern is that Nick will go home and fall in love with someone else.

I honestly didn't see this coming...at least so soon.

A few people were at it about not watching the game anymore because it's rigged. Now, I've been on the "rigged" bandwagon before. I think the game has been manipulated, especially in the DR and some challenges have seemed to me, over the years to have had clear cheating that was ignored.

That said, what could have happened this early where people are bringing that up so soon? Anyone know?

The best part is that it didn't take McCrae/Amanda/Judd/Andy long to figure Howard & Spencer's little voting game. The trick is convincing Helen and Candice who are just snowed over by them.

Ohhhhh shit.

I couldn't find the boom moment, but it sure looks to me Amanda is aware that Aaryn's a racist (or acting like one) and is still trying to befriend her as well. I really want to believe Amanda is better than Kaitlin, GM and Aaryn, and she clearly is, but I'm just not sure how much better.

I'm not sure how I feel about the DR asking questions about Aaryn's "racism." Were they hoping to get the house angry to get Aaryn more likely to be voted out so they wouldn't have to deal with her PR nightmare? Or maybe hope Aaryn would get tipped off and change her ways?

The only thing that bothers me is that it seems like they're putting all the focus on Aaryn's comments and she's not the only one. Spencer would be fired by now if he wasn't protected by the union he's a member of.

We can all have our own opinion on who the worst BB player ever was, but I doubt there can be any debate about which BB was least aware of the wrath that would be waiting for them when they exited the house. If Aaryn keeps it up and CBS keeps focusing on her, she might be met with pitchforks and fire.

But comments like this make me feel like she deserves everything that she gets.

Thu 11:13 PM BB Aaryn: "I don't think the DR is gonna portray me as racist when I haven't said anything racist."

Wow.

edit:

More-

12:03 AM Aaryn: "I haven't said one derogatory thing."

12:06 AM Aaryn: "Because I'm from Texas with blonde hair and blue eyes makes them think I'm that way. Nothing I said could be taken that way."

mwbmis, good news for you...Andy finally seems to have convinced Helen that Spencer can't be trusted. She's disappointed, but seems to be genuinely convinced now.

I'm feeling more and more empathy for Jessie, so that definitely is making me like her more. How anyone can let those girls pick on her like that I don't know. The things I wish that I could have said to Kaitlin would be epic. I think I actually have less patience for bullying now that I'm older than when I was younger and more prone to get into trouble from time to time.

Tonight's BBAD was absolutely compelling. Never thought I'd say that. Fights, fights ,fights, a "Who wants to see my HOH room?" that was intended to rub salt in Aaryn's wounds, and Howard saying to Candace (and I'm paraphrasing) that "the producers must approve of the racist things going on if they're allowing it to happen".

FYI - Brian Hart was in BB10
