As the popularity contest continued to be the determining factor in who is “playing the best game”, Elissa again won MVP in Big Brother 15 Episode 6. She nominated Jeremy, but he won veto and removed himself. In his place, Nick was nominated alongside Elissa and Helen.
Last week, Elissa had it pretty easy. Though the chicks instantly hated her, The Moving Company had her back. Now the same girls are against her (and unable to realize they’re just giving the guys more power), and a member of The Moving Company is on the block.
Jessie, who really didn’t have to do anything last week or even choose a side, is now who Elissa considers her biggest hope. Along with Amanda, Candice, McCrae, Andy, Judd, and Howard, they feel they have the votes. Of course, two of these people have an alliance with Nick, one that has admittedly been on shaky ground after McCrae ignored them when he nominated Elissa and then Jeremy threatened them all to vote his way or else.
Howard seems pretty solidly aligned with them. The concern is that McCrae will do what Amanda wants. He acknowledges she’s his closest ally in the house.
Aaryn makes a lame but seemingly innocuous comment about the black fish and the white fish being segregated in the tank. While the others talk about her behind her back, Amanda opts to warn her how she’s being perceived. Rather than taking this onboard and possibly modifying her behavior, she says she’s not going to acknowledge it, nor does she care. Though she has a point that she is often prejudged herself because people consider her a Barbie, which can be both a help and a hindrance, you’d think she would at least not be so oblivious to how negatively people are reacting to some of her comments, if for no other reason than she doesn’t like how she feels when people assume she’s a dumb blonde.
Votes
Jeremy: Elissa
Kaitlin: Elissa
Andy: Nick
GinaMarie: Elissa
Judd: Nick
Spencer: Nick
Jessie: Nick
Howard: Elissa
McCrae: Nick
Amanda: Nick
Candice: Nick
By a vote of 7-4-0, Nick has been evicted from the Big Brother house. The same people who were blindsided last week are blindsided again, and Aaryn’s HOH accomplishes nothing as once again the MVP nominee goes home. I didn’t see that coming, not by that margin at least. Spencer and McCrae both voted against their fellow alliance member. So concludes The Moving Company, an alliance that was lame from the beginning.
Meanwhile, it may be Nick’s moment, but GinaMarie’s breakdown takes center stage. Nick feels Spencer has the power in the house, and he’s probably to blame for his eviction. They definitely took out a big threat, one who potentially could have gone very far in this game. Julie suggests he should have kissed Jessie for a vote.
Throughout the night, they are awakened by a loud noise so that they can memorize packages on a conveyor belt for tonight’s multiple guess (True/False) HOH competition.
Judd and Jeremy are eliminated on the first question. GinaMarie, Andy, Spencer, and Elissa are out on the second question. Candice is eliminated on the third question. Everybody is correct on the fourth question. And the fifth. And sixth.
It’s a tiebreaker question with five people still in the competition. They must identify the amount of cans contained in the BB Cola boxes. Everybody gives the same answer (168), except McCrae, who goes one higher. Now another tiebreaker, one with nothing to do with their overnight task. What was the total time in seconds it took Jeremy to win veto? Kaitlin has been impressive in this competition, answering without hesitation and first on almost every question (to the point where it looks fishy), but that won’t earn her any points. The correct answer is 895. With a response of 800, Helen is the new HOH. I am shocked. Shocked. The power has shifted back toward the side in the most danger last week.
