I, also, am seriously doubting Helen's BB intelligence. I really liked her at the beginning. Now my favorite player is . . . . . . . . nobody.

A lot of folks think she was doing something sexual to him under the blankets, but we now know she was really extricating his backbone.

Lying and secret alliances are part of the game. What's the point of a secret alliance if you're going to blab that you're in one whenever you're asked if you're in one? As for Amanda being mad that the MC wanted her out, why is she blaming it all on Howard? The whole MC, with the exception of McFooled, wanted to get her away from McFooled, knowing that their showmance was going to hurt the MC.

Um, she'll say she won it for Nick.

Agree. Honestly, I don't think Howard is invested in winning the game enough to be a threat.

I do agree with you about that, but Candice needs to start PLAYING Big Brother! And Howard needs to do more also. Being on the block should be the catalyst for both of them get more into the game. If it isn't, then they don't need to be there any more.

I know, right? I think my dog would ask them to leave.

Yeah, I think you nailed it. She's like a spoiled child.

There's a lot of time before eviction night. I don't know how anyone could say that Howard going home is a lock yet. Maybe someone will get some sense in their brain and realize what a missed opportunity it would be to take out Amanda this week. Howard can be taken out any time. He doesn't have the support to make it very long. His only buddies, really, are Candice and Spencer. Then again, haven't seen much in the line of "game" from any of the HGs yet.

I'm trying to think of what Candice's "game" is besides complaining.

Is there anyone in the house who is NOT on medication???

This would be a good week for it.

I almost hope that if Amanda wins POV and takes herself off the block that it's Helen who goes up as America's next choice. There would be mass confusion. Heads might explode.

Helen lets emotions and grudges get the best of her. That's why she's going to lose. IMO.

It would be a fatal mistake, IMO, if they don't evict Amanda if they get this opportunity (if she doesn't win POV). They can either stick with their alliances and promises, or they can remember what the goal is, which is to win half a million dollars.

Except Aaryn doesn't get to decide. That'll only happen if Elissa is next in line in America's vote.

If she doesn't win the POV it's a golden opportunity for the HGs to evict her. And I think that's exactly what's going to happen. I think her reaction to being on the block will convince enough HGs that they need to get rid of her.

I'm not sticking up for Elissa, but maybe she just got sick of Amanda's derogatory remarks and seized the opportunity to slip in a few digs at Amanda. I used to like Amanda, but that's over after hearing some of the rude and trashy things that she spews out of her mouth.

If America, as MVP, puts her up as the third nominee. Isn't that possible?

It would be hilarious to see Aaryn on the block at the same time she's HoH. And then evicted!

I find Aaryn to be disgusting, but it's much smarter strategy to send Kaitlyn home. There's no way in h-e-double-toothpicks that Aaryn will win this game. She's more damaging to herself than she is to any other HGs. I hope she stays for another week or two so she can dig herself into a bigger hole than she's already in.
