Night of Chaos- The boring week thus far must have been the quiet before the storm as an explosion of drama hits the house. There were several notable clips: Monday, August 12 / 10:53 pm / Camera 3 & 4- Jessie vs Helen backyard fight. Where will they fight next? Monday, August 12 / 11:23 pm / All Feeds- Jessie vs Helen bathroom fight. Where will they fight next? Monday, August 12 / 11:33 pm / Camera 1 & 2- Jessie vs Helen HOH room fight. Where will they fight next? Tuesday, August 13 / 12:41 am / Camera 3 & 4- Jessie vs Helen chess board fight. But wait, there's more! Tuesday, August 13 / 1:11 am / All Cameras- Jessie listens at the bedroom door as Helen, Aaryn and McCranda spills all the beans about her eviction sending Jessie stomping up to the HOH room to confront Andy. No, that's not it! Tuesday, August 13 / 1:30 am / Camera 3 & 4- Jessie tells Andy she knows everything about the plan to evict her, leaving him speechless. And for our FINALE...? Tuesday, August 13 / 2:52 am / Camera 1 & 2- Aaryn's nasty attitude finally drives GM off the deep end as she gets in her face then wakes up the whole house to watch the antics!

Interesting ideas! If you don't mind some critiquing though, I have mixed feelings about the first idea because I hated America deciding nominees and this would be like a permanent MVP twist that wouldn't happen all the time but would happen pretty frequently since it's very common for nominees to win POV. I'd still prefer 3 nominees with one pulled off and no replacement. Your second idea is the best I think and could cause some entertaining chaos but I'm concerned that it forces people to show their cards too much and makes the HOH get even more blood on their hands every week because not only are they nominating and choosing replacements but they make another enemy out of whoever they pick for veto. Still I wouldn't mind seeing a practice run of this one to see how it works out because it also seems like a decent anti-floater device since nominees aren't going to want to pick proven competitors to play. Your third idea I personally don't like because I'm just not a fan of penalizing players for making certain moves and restricting their gameplay. I especially don't like that the whole house is being penalized for one player doing what they have to do to keep themselves safe. I also think that in most cases the veto being used makes the game more exciting and wouldn't want to discourage anyone from ever using it. Lastly, there is the problem that one of the nominees could win veto almost every week, bringing the prize money to $0 by the end of the game which would be so very silly. I'm assuming you'd want it so that the prize money couldn't be reduced below the 500k? I'd love to see the prize money increased to $1 million anyways so the show can stop being known as the poor man's Survivor. Surely, CBS has the money when reality programming is already so cheap to produce compared to other types of shows.

I found where she said "that's disgusting" about homosexuality at 8:26:45 pm (all cameras) if you'd like to see it for yourselves. You can tell it stung Andy a little bit and he soon left to go listen to music by himself. Another prejudice she can add to her growing portfolio.

Andy seems to be playing a pretty dang good game. I was questioning him winning the HOH at first because I didn't think anyone would go after him but now I'm seeing that this was a pretty good time to win it because there are really 3 people (Jessie, Spencer, and GM) left outside his main alliances to use for nominations/replacement so there's a low risk of getting much blood on his hands. I think his plan is safe and smart. He gets some competition wins in, which really come in handy for a jury speech, he's making his nominees feel comfortable, and he's not pissing off his alliance too much. I don't think keeping McCranda safe is a big deal as there is plenty of time left and they are the biggest targets in the house. Someone is bound to go after them soon and he has the option of teaming up with whoever stays.

In season 3 they actually did have everyone play veto I believe and I think they realized their mistake and changed it. So many people playing meant that the chances of nominees winning were quite small and it was pretty rare that a non-nominee would want to make a lot of waves by pulling someone off so use of the veto was rare, making for boring veto episodes. Having fewer people is more exciting I think. I'm kind of confused as to why you thought the MVP twist had anything to do with removing the backdoor option? If anything it made a backdoor more likely because there were more nominees playing in veto, meaning a higher chance that a replacement would be needed. Another thing I don't agree with is that the game should be about the best competitors. Why don't you just watch sports then? This game is about somehow lasting through over a dozen evictions and getting those that didn't last vote to give you the money and doing it by any means necessary whether through deceit, lying, intimidation, charm, charisma, kindness, loyalty, feigning weakness, being a comp beast, etc. There are so many styles and methods for getting through this game that can all be effective and that's one of the reasons I find the game fascinating. I do have to give you credit for the 3 nomination with one being vetoed and no replacement idea as that could be kind of interesting. However, instead of only having the 3 nominees play for it I think it would be much more interesting to have EVERYONE play for it and whoever wins it MUST use it to pull off one of the three. That would make it so the veto ceremony is still interesting and unpredictable and would make for some pretty great drama as the nominees have to campaign to get pulled off. That should be the next twist!

Not exactly George Clooney is he? He must be rich.

And a couple crimson red pairs thrown in for that time of the month when things are getting sketchy down there.

Yeah after his viciousness today that is definitely true. I think it's funny that there is no in between with him. He is either really sweet or incredibly vicious. He'll be sitting there cracking innocent jokes and suddenly something insignificant will send him into a freaky rage in half a second. Also, GM and him do seem like the perfect match. They deserve each other.

I really hate this stupid twist and definitely think it's the worst one ever. Even if you put it's obvious failings aside (the same person won every week and it was no secret in the house who it was) it is way too disruptive to the core idea of this game, which I think is based around the HOH being a position of great power with a high risk/reward ratio. The MVP twist has really diminished the HOH's power to the point where it's now a high risk/small reward ratio where an HOH has to show their cards and often won't even get anything out of it. It messes up the flow of the game by removing the back and forth power struggle. If an unpopular alliance has less numbers, instead of being able win HOHs to even out the numbers, they are simply screwed as America will just ignore their nominees and keep putting their members up week after week to be evicted by the nice people. It throws off the balance of the game and I hate that.

Gonna be pretty funny if she wins HOH now.

Uuuuuhhhhh... might want to wait until after the double eviction to say all that JU Double D Party Darty?

Would be good drama if he won HOH and put Jessie up like he has promised everyone.

1.Which hg's will leave Candice the nastiest goodbye message? It will be a toss up between GM and Aaryn 2.Predict something one particular hg's will do on the show tonight ..... As soon as there is a new HOH, Andy will promptly insert his nose into their butt as far up as he can get it and keep it there until he is safe. 3.Which hg's do you want to be the first hoh during the double evictions and who do you want evicted during double evictions? I'd love to see anyone willing to put Elissa up get her butt out of there . So sick of her!

Wednesday, August 8 / 9:50 pm / Camera 3 & 4 / 30 Minutes- Aaryn takes exception when Amanda implies that Helen and Elissa are more trustworthy than her, leading to an argument. When McCrae enters and starts defending Aaryn, Amanda explodes. After Amanda leaves the room, McCrae promises GM he would protect her over Amanda.

Wednesday, August 7 / 1:53 am / All Cameras / 10 Minutes- When Judd informs GM that Helen and Elissa are sleeping in her (and NIck's) bed, saying she overreacted would be an understatement. She throws some gay slurs in for good measure.

Isn't that Cara from last season?

On Rob Has A Podcast they said there was a rumor he got engaged. Don't know if it's true though.

AHHHHHHH!!! You're right! And he's grown fur! Oh that's my cat. My orange cat actually looks exactly like Andy with fur.

Judd is my favorite HG. I think that says a lot about this season.

Has there ever been a conversation in the house that Andy didn't eventually barge into?

She's never going to shed the cone of shame Nick will give her when she gets out of there and finds out what he's been up to.

What do you mean? I'm sure they never expected Dan to hit the big red button that forced all the coaches to be players when he was on his last leg. Who could have seen that coming?

I would love to see them retire the stupid MVP twist (FINALLY!) but then why would Chen have said there would be 3 nominees all season? Obviously they would have to retire it by Final 4 anyways unless they completely removed that veto comp and had HOH decide who leaves.

She sure has mastered the art of the pouty eye roll.

I sure wish someone would let GM know that her BFF Aaryn is constantly telling everyone she wants GM gone ASAP.
