After giving Elissa power for three weeks in a row, America decided to put her on the block in Big Brother 15 Episode 12. So of course she then won veto and removed herself, leaving GinaMarie nominated against Aaryn and Kaitlin. Either way, the house is about to become less attractive and probably less blonde, but nobody will miss any of them. This will mark the first time this summer that a woman gets eliminated.
Julie reveals that Aaryn was the overwhelming choice as America’s MVP nominee, but Judd had already nominated her, leaving second choice Elissa as the nominee.
Judd was apparently serious when he made an alliance with Kaitlin, more or less. Still, he’s listening to Aaryn’s plea to save her. All along, he’s preferred to keep her because people are just going to keep nominating her every week. His argument is that Kaitlin has been strong in challenges. He now calls his alliance fake and admits it to the rest of the house.
Not content with merely insisting that Aaryn must go, Elissa proceeds to tell Kaitlin she’s in danger. Aaryn overhears their conversation and approaches Helen. Elissa tries to lie her way out of it, which doesn’t work. What of course comes out of this conversation is that the alliance is now all over the house, plus a lot of random bitchiness.
Votes
Amanda: Kaitlin
McCrae: Kaitlin
Helen: Kaitlin
Candice: Kaitlin
Elissa: Kaitlin
Spencer: Kaitlin
Howard: Kaitlin
Andy: Kaitlin
Jessie: Kaitlin
Once again, for all the complaining about Aaryn, she nonetheless survives in a landslide vote. By a vote of 9-0-0, Kaitlin has been evicted from the Big Brother house. Upon her departure, she only hugs GinaMarie, but she still says it’s just a game. She acknowledges that she aligned with some catty girls, but Julie’s attempts to send her on a guilt trip fall flat.
America is the MVP again. No matter how many times you do it, it’s still a stupid twist. Voting does not belong in US Big Brother because it’s no longer about the game but rather a popularity contest.
The HOH competition is more dumb luck than usual. They will roll a single ball on a roulette wheel to try to get the highest number. Andy rolls a 23. McCrae takes the lead with 28. GinaMarie scores 3. Candice gets 27. Spencer takes the lead with 34. Aaryn gets 36, the highest score possible. Howard gets 17. Jessie scores 2. Helen gets 28. Amanda gets 1. Aaryn gets a 0. Aaryn is HOH.
The deal Aaryn made with the houseguests which played a big part in saving her butt was that she would throw HOH, but this competition could not be thrown, short of throwing the ball across the yard, which I suppose may have been an option. There was no skill or strategy that would have provided either an advantage or disadvantage. Of course, the other part of the deal was nominating whoever they want should she end up winning.
