Huge new groundswell of Elissa fans in the chats and Internet. Just like politics if it is your person they can do no wrong.

I'm no Elissa fan. I'm no "fan" of anyone on this season tbh. But in a season where everyone defers their HOH to "the house", it's at least nice to see Elissa make this HER HOH. Whether she goes home next week is irrelevant. I'm just happy to see someone sticking up for themselves in this game.

The guarantee was putting one or the other up and Andy as the replacement if necessary. Either one would be gone and if not she would have followed through on her threat to Andy. Every other HG got admonished for not putting up the grizzly duo and she wont' get any passes from me. She earns no points from me. She is just another tool!

It may be your opinion that she's a tool, but at least she stood her ground and finally put some fear in these people.

Do you think we should expect an early veto since they picked players so early?

You're not missing anything, she is a moron. If this is true, that she is banking on Aaryn winning the POV, it's really no time to be relying on anyone for that. I think she just wants Aaryn out and that's good but it's even better because Elissa is gone next week.

You seriously have something against Elissa in a big way. She did what she did and that's her decision. If she leaves next week then she does, but at least she made her own decisions - whether you think it is to get revenge or not - she didn't let others talk her into anything. She would've been the target this week anyway if she didn't win HOH, so at least she can go home having done what SHE wanted to, not what McManda wanted.

Helen and Will well I am in the minority here because I could not stand Dr. Will. I did not watch his first season but I did watch all-stars. Mike Boogie and Will actually made my skin crawl and the fake showmance thing was digusting.

You do know that's pretty much the "definition" of a showmance right? In the early days of BB, the term was coined for using someone on the show of romantic interest to advance your game. It will last for the majority of the game, but they can be cut off at any point if their game will be improved by making the move. It's pretty much exactly what they did, and no one has done it better, imo.

Its 4 to evict. There are 7 people voting so the votes can't be split so that GM can make the final decision.

GM - HOH

Candice, Amanda, Spencer - Nominees

Helen, Elissa, Jessie, McCrae, Judd, Andy, Aaryn - will vote

I am not sure if everyone has heard but there will be 9 people on the Jury this year. So whoever is evicted tomorrow night will go to Jury.

The votes CAN be split for GM to break the tie if it is done 3-3-1. I don't see that happening however because it would make zero sense. Just get rid of her if you want her gone.

I really haven't liked Amanda since about week 2, however, the more Helen spins herself into the ground the more i'm appreciating how Amanda is the only one actually playing. She does push, often times too much. That's what irked me about her. But she has an agenda and she's not shy about letting you know what it is. She plants seeds in peoples minds to get them stir crazy. All of this paranoia in the house is largely from Amanda giving credit where none is due. She tends to give a lot of credit to certain players and cast doubt when she wants them out or feels she can't control them. She then spins things every which way to get her hands clean and the sheep eat it up.

You really can't knock her gameplay too much. Maybe a little less pushy, but it's working. Even Helen, who thinks she's queen of the castle, is running around doing Amanda's dirty work. I've always respected players for savvy gameplay and some of my favorite players have been who America may consider a "villian" (Evel Dick, Dan, Dr. Will, Boogie, Danielle Donato, James, Frank, etc.) so I can't watch Amanda, even against this weak bunch of sheep, and respect her ability to take advantage of situations, let others take the fall and dispose of them when the time comes.

If you are talking about Helen that is what she said the reason that Nick had to go. He was another Dan.

Well at least that makes her sound less crazy, but Nick was certainly no Dan. He may have appeared to have that potential at first, but he had the MC and pretty much paid attention to no one else in the house except GM.

He seemed to want the easy way, which is a strategy Dan used ealy on last season, but Dan was always thinking as well. It seemed like Nick was just on vacation.

Seriously, did she really say - with a straight face - "I am not letting another Dan Gessling win this season" ...and use it as an insult?? Is that what their insanity/paranoia has come to?

If Elissa wins Veto and takes herself off ... it is the HOH that picks the replacement.

Since she was the MVP nomination, it would come down to the next person in line with America, no? Elissa did the replacement nominatin after Jeremy took himself off in week 2.

I can't freakin wait until Amanda finally gets hers in this house. I'm so sick of reading updates of her constantly forcing her agenda on the HOH and others in the house. She has such potential as a player in this game too, she's just going WAY too hard. I really hope she gets taken out soon. I also think Jessie is definitely onto something as well with her theory on Kaitlin. Kaitlin has proven to go deep in competitions and she seems to be very smart and is slowly distancing herself from Aaryn and forming friendships around the house. She could be dangerous if they let her stick around.
