Exactly, she and Spencer are the only guaranteed votes for Howard, the target. Why wouldn't she go up? Plus, Candice's sloppy game play the last couple of days has earned her a nomination. Hell, even Howard was trying distance himself from her last night.

I'm sure the DR is going to do a push to keep Howard in the next few days, but unless Judd and his female votes flip then I can't see how it happens. And keeping Howard doesn't make sense for Judd.

Totally agree from a gameplay standpoint. I was talking about appearances.

the tv edit tonight.

Keeps hiding the Goof Troop and make Helen look like the mastermind so Americas Cat Ladies will target her next week instead of Amanda.

Has the series ever failed to show everyone a controlling alliance like this before?

A great example of dishonest editing on the show tonight: Aaryn's "axe" vs. "ask" comments were actually directed towards GinaMarie (who says "axe" all the time), not Candice.

You guys might want to put those posts in the other thread. Broadcast show only people don't really come into this thread.

My take was that they underlined Helen so heavily to make it "okay" to nominate Howard, rather than be perceived by the average viewer as Aaryn being "Racist". Of course, Candice is the replacement nominee for Spencer, so good luck with that. Aaryn just said today that she thinks she was portrayed as a "racist bitch" in the beginning, but this week she'll be portrayed as "misunderstood".

The quotes should be over the word portrayed not racist bitch.

Of the 12 people remaining in the house, Aaryn has moved up to number 9 in terms of popularity, just a bit below Amanda and above Helen, Spencer and way back in last GM.

Last night I believe she made some kind of comment about deserving America's Favorite Houseguest for all the racist crap she's had to put up with (being called).

I think she is moving up in popularity with the public because her alliance is no longer in the house and she is forced to play with the unpopular kids. She has adjusted her game. I wish she was voted out, because the longer she stays in the house, the shorter America's memory will become and her hateful comments will be all but forgotten.

Win or lose Amanda has brass balls .She is already setting up Judd downfall before Howard is out the door. I know some people hate this year but the feeds are really delivering. If this was any of the 3 previous years everyone would just be shutting it down before Tuesday and no way people would still be scheming or you would have something like this Spencer-Amanda throw down.

What is going on in the house? Reading Jokers a bit makes it sound just completely crazy in there.

New Head of Household:

It's kind of funny that despite all of the (deserved) hate towards her, Aaryn is now perceived as such a follower that she probably won't even be the American's pick now that she finally can be. Amanda and Helen are more likely to get that 3rd nomination. Aaryn will be able to remain blissfully unaware of the damage she's inflicted upon herself on the outside.

From everything I'm reading elsewhere online, I strongly suspect that Amanda will be America's nominee again this week. As a former fan of hers, I can't say I'm unhappy about it. Her behavior the past couple of weeks has been obnoxious, and she has made quite a few comments that rival Aaryn's for insensitivity and offensiveness. A truly ugly side of her personality has shown itself recently. On top of that, I'm ready for the power couple to be broken up by force, just to keep the game interesting.

Oh, great...

Here's a preview of upcoming week:

Scrubs, scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs, cockaroaches, cockaroaches, scrubs, scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs, scrubs, cockaroaches, cockaroaches, scrubs, scrubs, cockaroaches, cockaroaches, scrubs, cockaroaches, cockaroaches, scrubs, scrubs, scrubs,scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs, cockaroaches, cockaroaches, scrubs, scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs, cockaroaches, cockaroaches, cockaroaches, scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs, scrubs, cockaroaches, scrubs...

You forgot Nick shout outs. They gave her a pic of him for her HOH room.

I really shouldn't be surprised at just how idiotic GM's nominations were. Maybe two of the weakest players in the house in terms of having power in how the game is being played. I feel like America will do the "right thing" and put up the person who's genuinely in charge, but I think this group is too scared and too stupid to make the right move and evict her. They should have done it Thursday.

Helen, Mcrae, Amanda, Andy, or Elysa. IF she would have nominated anyone of those people it would have shaken up the game. BUt no one seems to see it.

No way these nominations happen at all the last 2 weeks if not for the stupid MVP twist. Since people have no idea who the 3rd nominee is if someone doesn't go with the majority they risk losing an ally and going the next week.

People are waiting until the jury/no more mvp twist to make their move but by then it will be too late.

So Helen just told Andy she wants to keep Aaryn/GM to the end to take out McManda. More and more each week Aaryn making at least f3/f2 is looking like what we will see unless Production has major riggage or Elissa/Candice go on a comp run. If Amanda does go up as the mvp nominee what looked like will be just a routine Candice or Jessie eviction seems like the game may blow open and a ton of stuff exposed.

Amanda is the MVP nominee, and Jessie has won POV, so they'll need a replacement. Candice is still the major target, but it might all change. This week's POV included prizes and penalties:

Sounds like:

Jessie won POV
Candice has a clown unitard for a week
Judd won $5000
Spencer won a trip to the Bahamas
GinaMarie has to wear a dog cone collar ('cone of shame') for 48 hours
Amanda will get sprayed orange ('50 shades of orange'); she must be "tanned" once an hour.

Well, looks like I'll be watching "After Dark" tonight.

So this exchange occurred about GinaMarie's "Cone of Shame":

Judd: "Go see if (GinaMarie) has a neck thing."
Spencer: "He means a noose." NT

With Amanda up yet again, is anyone realizing that there are a lot of people who could change the entire power structure by taking her out or are these idiots learning nothing?

Aaryn is so hateful...and Amanda too. Aaryn just has no perception, though, of what's she's doing and how it's being perceived. She's wrong about everything she says and does. I'm slightly disappointed she's looking like a lock for jury, because I believe they'll use that time to prepare her a bit for the sh*tstorm waiting for her on the outside.

I'm really only rooting for Elissa (she's not so bad or maybe she's just not so bad compared to these people and it would be funny if Rachel's sister won), Jessie and Judd.

And, maybe just by default, Jessie is the only one I actually like a bit. She really stood her ground against Amanda from what I read. I don't know what's going on inside the house that much, but if Judd isn't really tight with either Amanda or Helen like he was and maybe turned the tables at least on Amanda and McCrae, I could start rooting for him again.

Aaryn, GM, and Spenser were just horrible today waiting for Candice to come out of the DR wearing the clown suit. Aaryn just kept going "This would be no fun if no one else won this. She needs to be humiliated." I was just getting disgusted with everything. They then went on a history lesson about Homey the Clown and were planning on calling Candice that all week.

I was like "Grodner has to ask Damon Wayans to now show up in character as Homey in the house and go after the people accordingly."
