GinaMarie’s HOH win in Big Brother 15 Episode 17 led to the nominations of Candice and Jessie.
Jessie happily makes her way up to the HOH room. Candice is not so happy to be there and lets GinaMarie know.
Amanda’s not clear what she’s doing that America wouldn’t like. Though her diary rooms can be amusing, she keeps opening her mouth too much when it’s not necessary. Her spat with Jessie is not winning her any fans, and this pouting about McCrae not running away from Jessie when she sits next to him isn’t either.
For the second week in a row, America has nominated Amanda for eviction. McCrae’s not surprised. The newest conspiracy theory is that Judd is the MVP.
Spencer and Judd join Amanda, GinaMarie, Candice, and Jessie in the veto competition. Judd tells Amanda what she wants to hear, that he’ll use the veto on her, but nobody really knows what he is thinking. Spencer plays along, too, though he readily admits this is a stupid question. GinaMarie quickly says she’ll use the veto on her, which angers Aaryn. Nobody likes Amanda pushing so hard to be removed, and McCrae is becoming the ringleader to keep things the same.
The veto competition is made for Judd. He loves everything frog related. They must toss frogs and land them on targets to score points. As the only person to miss the targets in the first round, GinaMarie is out first. Her prize is the power of veto. Amanda’s score of 1 eliminates her. Her prize is to be able to wear the doggy cone of shame for 48 hours, which she trades for the veto. Candice uses the competition to inform Judd that they think he’s the MVP. Amanda knows she must be talking game, which leads to yet another shouting match, up to and including more discussion about racism. There sure is a lot of that this season, which Candice eggs on by claiming everything is about race, a trait Amanda takes the opportunity to mock.
When Candice misses, she claims a Bahamas vacation as her prize, but she trades it for veto. Spencer’s prize is to go to a tanning booth on command, but he trades it for the vacation. Jessie scores the lowest in the next round and gets a $5,000 prize, which she trades for the power of veto. As the person in first place, Judd can have anything he wants, but he offers to let Jessie have the veto as long as he doesn’t get stuck with something stupid. He gets the clownitard and trades for the money, passing up the veto, which Jessie has now won. Meanwhile, Candice and Amanda still won’t shut the hell up.
Clownitard: Candice
50 shades of orange: Amanda
Cone of shame: GinaMarie
Bahamas: Spencer
$5,000: Judd
Veto: Jessie
McCrae attempts to talk sense into Amanda again. No matter how vocal he gets, she still does not get the point that she’s painting a target on herself and, by extension, on him as well. There are no winners in these fights. Everybody comes out a loser. It’s just a question of who is the biggest loser.
Elissa is making an effort to keep Candice in the house, so once again Helen has to do damage control for her. For all the times America voted for Elissa as the “best player,” she has yet to show it. Helen promises GinaMarie safety if she doesn’t nominate Elissa.
At the veto ceremony, Jessie uses the power of veto on herself. With everybody else safe based on some alliance they have, that leaves Spencer as the replacement nominee. He feels comfortable because he’s on the block with two people who are digging their own graves.
