Howard’s eviction in Big Brother 15 Episode 16 led into the start of an endurance competition for HOH.
Helen talks about taking out a linchpin player and weakening those around them. In this case, both Candice and Spencer are hopeless without Howard.
Spencer falls, and Candice drops right after him. Helen follows them. Then Elissa. And Amanda. Less than half an hour in, and half the people are already down. Judd falls just past the half hour mark, followed by Andy. Now the first three get to choose a box. Spencer may only speak through a bullhorn until after the nomination ceremony. Candice wins $5,000 because Jesus wanted her to have it. Helen gets a backyard BBQ. Jessie drops. With two left, GinaMarie promises McCrae that he and Amanda are safe. They are the only ones to pass the hour mark. He declines to take any of her deals, even as she sweetens the pot with more offers, and eventually McCrae falls without having made a deal. GinaMarie is the new HOH.
Nobody knows what GinaMarie is going to do. Aaryn is safe, but otherwise, GinaMarie is a big question mark. Her immediate reaction is that Candice is going home, a continuation of last week’s HOH in which she unnecessarily painted a huge target on herself with that house meeting.
Included in GinaMarie’s HOH package is a picture of her and Nick. Great.
Helen has already picked two people to join her BBQ. Elissa is obviously one. Aaryn is the other, which annoys Jessie. Of course, as Jessie complains about this, Aaryn overhears her. Jessie complains to, among others, Amanda, who blames her for being part of the plot to try to get rid of her. So begins a shouting match (that goes on and on), and it gets personal. McCrae can’t figure out what Amanda’s thinking because this made both of them look bad. Jessie’s being petty and overly emotional, but Amanda just comes off as a bully. In the process, Andy gets thrown under the bus for revealing information that Jessie thought she was telling him in confidence.
Nominations
Aaryn is safe.
Helen is safe.
McCrae is safe.
Judd is safe.
Amanda is safe.
Elissa is safe.
Spencer is safe.
Andy is safe.
Candice and Jessie have been nominated for eviction.
Candice is a rat and drama queen, and Jessie is a flip flopper. GinaMarie’s sure not one to mince words, though she may have trouble getting them out when Judd is laughing so hard. As Jessie warned her before nominations, if her goal is to get rid of Candice, she’s not the best pawn because Amanda has her sights set on getting rid of Jessie instead.
