Even though it would be interesting for us, I don't think getting Caleb out would really benefit him at this point. Yes, Caleb would probably nominate him if he were to win HOH, but Caleb is only one person that very few people in the house like. Keeping a target like that in the game is probably good for Cody, especially since he would become the biggest physical threat (besides Amber, of course ) if Caleb were to go. Not that getting Brittany out is a good use of an HOH.

Can any of these people keep a secret? None of them so much as wipes their butt without first consulting the entire house.

Just rewatched the interview, and I've changed my mind. I do think it was decent and and Julie had a nice approach. Now I just hope that others get similar treatment.

I'm glad GinaMarie will (hopefully) be getting McManda out of the house and she has been much more likable and pleasant lately, but she is definitely a malicious person. Some seem to be quickly forgetting her comments about Candice being adopted and blaming it on who she aligned with now that GM has teamed up with their favorites.

I so want to see GM tear Amanda a new one. But does Amanda's thought that GM can be convinced to go after Elissa because Elissa took out her bestie Aaryn have any weight?

I was pretty surprised GM voted Aaryn. What was the point of that?

This season everybody has a "vote with the house" mentality, it shows her loyalty to her new alliance (which includes Andy), and Aaryn told her to so as not to be a target

What's this crud about Julie Chen sleeping her way to the top? The top of what, hosting Big Brother? Hosting Big Brother is a step down. She was the host of Big Brother years before dating Leslie Moonves and she had been an anchor/co-host of CBS Morning News and The Early Show before that.

There's no way she would have a talk show if she weren't married to the president of CBS. And talk shows can be considered a step up from news shows many times, if people like Katie Couric and Anderson Cooper are any indication.

But anyway, the point was that Julie Chen is definitely not someone who should be morally self-righteous. It doesn't really matter anymore though, so that's all I have to say about her.

(and I wonder if some of us posters would be PO'd if she didn't say anything to her about her foul remarks ?

and accuse them of sweeping it under the rug)

Yeah, probably. It's hard to win either way.

I think she could have found more of a middle ground by saying something like "other houseguests have accused you of making racist comments..." as she usually does with things like this. Oh well, I'm honestly just pretty happy to have her out of the house.

He was married when julie bagged him?

Technically, yes. They were living apart, but I have no doubt that she jumped on him the moment he filed for divorce.

It was nice to see Dan and Jeff and Jordan. Those other people, not so much.

ITA, though I'm not really a Jeff fan. Rachel and Brendon's interview was the worst, her interviewing skills have gotten even more horrible and Brendon seemed less than enthused over his marriage.

I hope it isn't tight, I do not want to see Spencer in a unitard.

I just thought it was a bit laughable that Julie Chen--the woman who slept her way onto CBS with a married man, the woman who makes all kinds of Asian jokes on her show--tries to act morally superior to anyone. Aaryn definitely deserves harsh interviews, but leave it to the professionals Ms. Chen, especially since no one else has received that treatment.

Anyway, I'm glad GM won HOH. I figured she would win once the competition was revealed though. I cannot wait to see her nominate McCranda, especially since Amanda seems to think GM will do what she says.

If others like Amanda and Spencer didn't get similar treatment (which they won't), I won't blame her for refusing to come back.

That was horrible. Definitely have no love for the girl, but I don't think anyone deserves that treatment. It seemed almost like an attack (in terms of both Julie and the audience), and it looked like she was about to cry. Though I definitely am not compassionate towards Aaryn in general, I definitely did feel sympathy for her in that moment. It has to be overwhelming to be evicted and then told that America thinks you're a despicable racist.

This is Big Brother, a reality tv show that has their contestants dress up as bunnies, and Julie Chen's "hard-hitting interview" approach has no place on the show (nor does she have the credentials). Especially when she doesn't give the same treatment to others who have said things that were just as nasty. Not to excuse Aaryn's behavior, but she hasn't said anything that was worse than many others in the house, so I expect Spencer and Amanda to receive the same treatment (won't happen though).

Amanda is disgusting and insane. If I was Elissa I would give it right back to her (minus the insults) and get the cow to hit me. I don't think it would take much for Amanda to cause her ejection with how insecure and whiny she is.

I honestly don't know what's going on anymore after tonight. While I do want McManda out, I have to thank Elissa for keeping things interesting with her stupid nominations.

If she wants to somehow recover from her dumb nominations, she needs to nominate Andy and hope he goes home. If he won HOH he wouldn't bat an eye if Amanda told him to nominate Elissa, no matter how much he cries and claims to be her friend. Even though Aaryn is on the McManda train now, if she won HOH next week I think Elissa would at least have a chance.

With the little rat gone, McManda's only guarantee of safety would be if they won the HOH themselves, as I think their spell over the house has finally been broken even though they have the power now.

Hmmm I could have swore Spencer said it was Ginamarie.

It was Aaryn.

I don't get how she could have done that. It looks like she looked right at the bottle. Definitely one of the more funny (considering who it is) dumb moments of the season.

Boring and useless, for the most part. The way he sits makes him look really creepy as well. I noticed it especially tonight while he was voting to evict and last night during the Aaryn/Amanda fight. He sort of stoops down and juts his neck out.

Oh, is Judd back?

She better put up McManda/Andy! I'll be disappointed with any other nomination.

I'm not happy Judd is back in.

Me neither, he's really a nonfactor in terms of his impact on the house.

8:30PM BBT: Feeds are back. Elissa is up to 9, Amanda up to 6, GM still at 3.

8:31PM BBT: Elissa catches ball number 10 and wins HOH! There are the usual hugs and congratulations from everyone before FotH.

Come on Elissa, don't fall! She's the only hope to oust Amanda.

8:18PM BBT The platform moves suddenly and Judd jumps off. Down to Elissa with 8, GinaMarie with 3, and Amanda with 5.

8:06PM BBT: Helen drops, followed shortly by Candice. As the only Jury Member remaining in the competition, Judd will be returning to the Big Brother House!

8:00PM BBT:

More water. GinaMarie seems to be having a hard time, gasping and grunting.

8:01PM BBT:

More balls are thrown, Judd swears, complains about it hurting and hitting him in the face. Elissa caught another for a total of 6.
