Following Aaryn’s predictable HOH win in Big Brother 15 Episode 5, she predictably nominated Elissa and Helen for eviction.
Candice thinks the boys got Aaryn to do their dirty work, but she’s an emotional player who’s vindictive enough on her own without needing any encouragement to make the nominations she did.
Despite having just been nominated by Aaryn, Helen lets her know that she would still like to work together.
Now for the biggest shock of the week. Elissa is MVP. Why even bother voting? Unlike last week when she told McCrae, she decides to tell someone actually trustworthy, Helen. Of course, since the entire house can predict she’s MVP, it doesn’t really matter. They decide that their target is Jeremy, one of Aaryn’s strongest allies, despite supposedly having an alliance with The Moving Company.
In addition to Jessie stalking him, Nick now has a new girl crushing on him, GinaMarie. Perhaps the third time will be a charm.
As planned, Jeremy has been nominated for eviction by MVP Elissa.
Amanda and Nick have been chosen at random to join the nominees and HOH in the veto competition. Nick wants to win and save Jeremy, but GinaMarie does not want him to do that. She is not having much success convincing him. Elissa, however, tells him he has to throw it, promising to not go after him for 2 weeks, with a warning that he’ll be the replacement nominee if he doesn’t throw it. I’m not sure I understand this deal. If someone loses, how do you know they did not do it on purpose? Typically people don’t just go out first or even too early unless they are deliberately trying to look weak.
They get dressed up in onesies for the veto competition, and they find out that Britney from BB12 and BB14 is pregnant. The backyard is decorated like a giant nursery, which Andy feels is appropriate for these houseguests. Their challenge is to put together a mobile with 10 stuffed animals on it.
In a challenge like this, I’m not sure who has the advantage. Jeremy keeps talking about beast mode, but that doesn’t seem like it will help. I would guess it would be guys with the advantage because it’s essentially a construction task. Amanda is the first person to buzz in, but she has two bears just touching the ground. She is unable to reposition her animals before Jeremy ends up winning veto. Helen was behind him. Nick didn’t lose convincingly, but he was nowhere near winning either.
Elissa and Helen declined to backdoor Jeremy, and now it bites them. Kaitlin’s convinced that she is guaranteed to be nominated because Elissa is making this personal. Really? Elissa is the one making this personal? She went after the threat, not the person she repeatedly called a bitch for no apparent reason.
Jeremy threatens his alliance. Either they get rid of Elissa, or he’s done with them. Here’s your warning, folks. Cut this clown loose. He continues to prove his disloyalty.
Candice continues to push her theory that there’s an all male alliance, and she wants that broken up. So they can’t get rid of the dumbass. Now they can target someone actually dangerous, Nick. Elissa realizes that she’ll be breaking her word if she does this, even if Nick was trying hard during the veto competition but just sucked at it.
Elissa approaches Nick and asks if he’ll vote out Kaitlin. He’s not saying anything. Lie. Don’t lie. Whatever. Just commit. Maybe he’s not so smart after all.
At the veto ceremony, Jeremy removes himself from the block. In his place, the MVP has “secretly” chosen Nick as the replacement nominee.
Though it would seem Nick is the bigger threat, I don’t see how Elissa can get the 6 votes she needs to stay. Her closest ally is on the block next to her, there’s one alliance that hates her because they’re bitches, and there’s a second alliance that wants to save one of their own. Her only hope is the cracks in The Moving Company continue to grow.
