Andy seems much more loyal to the McMANdas than he does Helen. If he floated the idea of putting Helen on the block to Helen, she should be worried. I don't think Andy will sacrifice his game to benefit Helen the way so many others have done.

Well if one of the unemployed racists wins it might actually be a good thing in terms of more exposure of the ugly side of racism. It's not like winning BB would be condoning that type of behavior. If anything it would just help to shine a light on it a little bit more (I say that knowing most people in general don't even pay attention to BB!).

Well I will definitely be voting Candice for Favorite / Fan Favorite or whatever that lesser prize is. I hope she wins as much to validate her stay in the house as it will invalidate those who treated her like trash.

I think Helen does know about their racisms. I suspect Helen herself shares many of those same sentiments. So I don't think Helen will be shocked -- however, I think Helen will pretend shock to try to keep her fabricated / manufactured image going.

I agree there is a mob mentality in the house like I've never seen before (due to immaturity and great levels of insecurity and jealousy). Jessie will be just as ostracized as others have been. As Helen always emphasizes, it's all about "THE HOUSE" and what IT wants.

The real outcome of this season is that Candice and Howard withstood intense hatred in the house and their legacy in BB history will be positively remembered. The unemployed racists on the other hand have also established their legacy for the show and it will only grow more negative as the season ends.

Helen is a completely different kind of player than Will Kirby. Helen is very much like Amanda in feeling a shocking amount of self-entitlement. Arrogance is a word that doesn't even begin to capture the ego of Helen.

She may be mental but her self-entitlement is far greater.

She is so OWNED by Helen. Too funny. She even said that she had to nominate Judd -- or risk going home like she's being hijacked or something. Oh wait. She IS being hijacked!!!! I've never witnessed so many houseguests playing for another PLAYER. So pathetic.

LOVED the way Candice went out with such grace and beauty. She is truly admirable, particularly for all the hate and venom she withstood without stooping to their level. Glad she's on the jury.

It's not actually a new plot, though. It's been in the works for quite a while -- they were just too chicken shit to actually make it happen. But the real question is how in the world are they getting GinaMarie to be down with it? She -- along with Aaryn -- have been most insistent that Candice HAS to go.

It sounded like she was instigating the whole thing by attempting to whisper taunts to Candice in order to get Candice to say something, hoping it would look like Candice was the one starting it only to then defend herself against Candice. I don't think it worked. And it exposed even more of Amanda's vile nature.

He assumes if she is on the jury, she will vote for him if he makes it to the end.

I haven't seen the clip but my immediate thought was he had to be making some kind of zing towards McCrae since he is from Minnesota.

At this late stage I don't know that Candice's getting out of bed is really going to make a difference. Her pitch to Helen that if she goes that's one less vote in jury for her is a strong sale -- I wish Candice had made that pitch about herself + Howard to Helen a while back. The houseguests have pretty much closed their mind to Candice at this point. So her relaxing and just laying out the facts to Helen is probably as effective as anything.

He-Man strikes again!!!

Gooooooooood..... Helen truly hurt her own game by getting rid of those who would have been her best allies. I think it'll take Helen a good while to figure that out, though. Can't wait to see her ousted.

Will Kirby was, IMHO, a genuinely nice guy. Charming AND clever and ready to outwit, outlast. And he won. So nice guys don't necessarily finish last. There was another "nice" winner -- Lisa something or other in the 3rd season I think. Didn't care for her -- but she won.

Yeah, when they get a good Goober and Gomer shot like that they really need to use it somehow. Big Brother hillbilly style. They look like they're on some kind of sit-com.

Aside from that one dude that held a knife to another houseguest's throat, (and Dick Donato of course), who else might be considered worse than Amanda that did not receive the same level of negative response?

I'm either voting Candice or Howard, no question.

LOL Final Two -- and this should be the publicity shot BB uses to advertise!

Not quite.

Wouldn't it be the kicker of all kickers if it takes racist Aaryn to do a smackdown on ol' Helen and Amanda? I swear, just when I thought Aaryn's evil heart had no worth in the world, she just might somehow find some if she cleans that house of those nasty two. Throw in McRae while you're at it, Aaryn.
