Sorry for the delay. So many technical issues. Now new tiny laptop with Windows 8. I am a professional and must preserve! Plus, I could not sweet talk UF into doing it. I think he is mad I don’t hate Andy enough.
I am a bit concerned that Will (aka the greatest BB player ever to some, Doc) will be on tonight TO TALK TO THE JURY BEFORE VOTING! This leads to concerns he is there to influence the jury to “not be bitter” aka vote for Andy. Since GM is “a racist” I don’t know if Big Brother is too keen on her winning. They love manipulating the game.
Last night Spencer figured out that Andy is NOT taking him if he wins. Both GM and Andy have had to tell the DR who they are taking. They were told if they change their minds they need to tell the DR before the show. I would love to make a change on the live show just for fun.
Spencer told said this morning, “If the live feeds are still on, I just want to say Andy Sucks!” LOL. I would prefer a GM win but I am not overly invested in the winner. Who do you want to win? Who do you think will? Thanks so much to everyone for all the great comments this season. I have really enjoyed y’all. I apologize to Docwall for getting her addicted. It’s a bad habit and hard to break. A HUGE shout out to Urethra Franklin, for blogging and commenting and generally upstaging me. If we are ever on Survivor, I would never write your name down. #rideordie
Andy. I know, I know, the internet hates Andy, but I like him and I think he’s played a good game. He is the least offensive of the 3.
OMG OMG HERE WE GO!
I REALLY want Elissa to win America’s favorite and announce that she has her eye on a new Birkin bag! Thanks America! OH MY GOSH! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU LOVE ME TOO!
Was that Julie’s last “but first” of the season? /sobs
OMG how do you not love GM making a celebratory glitter angel???
OMG Spenser climbing that wall is too funny.
Hey where the heck is UF?
I LOVE ELISSA and Candice giving it to Amanda. And even AAYRN is over Amanda.
Hi Tamara, I love your site, you do a wonderful job here. I have a question for you. I don’t understand what the “happy pill” donate button means.
I’m sorry, but this question just made me lol. 🙂
now that you got a good laugh out of my question, answer it for [email protected] lori
I have the same question but I was afraid to incur TT’s wrath by asking.
Interesting Belinda, why would you be afraid? Maybe I haven’t been on this site long enough to get what your saying.
Actually, I was sort of kidding….I haven’t been around very long, either, but I get the distinct impression that T does not suffer fools gladly and may be a tad temperamental….so, want to stay on the up side of the TT roller coaster.
Hi brenblake……….just like alot of bloggers, TT has a place where you can donate some financial assistance to her for the GINORMOUS amount of energy and time she spends giving to this site and all of us who contribute. “Happy Pill” is her humorous way of saying something like: “Your donation can go toward keeping me on the chemicals that allow me to tolerate doing this shit day in/day out, computer, tweets, etc.”
She is super cool people. She will also call you out if you are being an asshole or going on and on about stupid or irritating shit (both of which are in the eyes of the blog holder) She has called me out a few times and i have no problem with that………likely she spared me alot of embarrassment and harassment by others on the site!
“Happy pill” is a euphemism for coin. Offsetting the costs and time devoted to running a blog and website takes money. And money can’t buy you live but if can make you happy.
Well said doc.
@brenblake – I adore this blog, and it it’s the only one I would even consider posting on. Many can be scary places, and while here you do get some moments of ugliness, mostly everyone is cool and tamara runs a good ship. If you stick around, you will get to know her more, and come to understand that this is basically what she’s doing for a living at the moment, so that “happy pill” fund is really more like a “happy bill” fund. A girl needs to eat!!! I like to donate when I can because the amount of time I spend here and the pleasure I get from this blog is worth it, and I’ve also become very fond of Tamara. I don’t know what I’d do without TT’s blog to come to and vent my feelings about our beloved reality shows, as well as the occasional court cases that she sometimes covers. Her homework/research is amazing, and she really goes out of her way to make sure that she gets stuff right, with as much detail as possible, as opposed to rushing to be the first to get a story out there with wrong information. She also tries to explain complicated things in an easy to understand manner when she breaks it down for us, which really came in handy at times during the jodi arias trial for example. She goes out of her way to read through lot of things, and then gives us the highlights, and then tells us to read on if we would like to read the whole thing (with links or whatever) which many times I pass on, so I really appreciate the recaps. You should stick around for a while and then if you ever feel like donating you can. That’s all. Welcome!
Sorry I posted under my own post, but it was the only available space. First I would like to thank Tamra again, for a great site. Also, I thank Lori,docwall and pura for taking the time to answer my questions. I agree with you all 100% about the donate button. Yes, I’m sure it takes a lot of Tamra’s time to provide us with this wonderful site. Thanks to you all, I will be back and most likely donate to Tamra’s cause. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
bren
That was exactly the correct place to post it. See?… you’re a natural! 🙂
So Dr. Will was basically saying to the jury – don’t let Amanda bully the vote.
I was pleasantly surprised by Will’s lack of manipulation (THAT THEY SHOWED). I guess UF and Doc got invited to a better viewing party. /sobs
I blame UF for getting me sucked back into BB. 😉
I thought that Dr Will did exactly what your intro projected as happening……..consider Andy, despite hurt feelings….more at my post down below
IF ANDY DOESN’T TAKE GM I WILL DIE.
Me too. Here we go!
I think he’s going to take Spenser.
Wow! HE pick GM!!
wait, you’re making jam right now? tee hee
Anyhoo, I hate how y’all have me watching this right now instead of Grease. I only watched about the last two weeks or so but if Andy takes GM, she will win IMO
So glad GM got at least 50K. I know she’s not perfect, but most of that is just because she didn’t have certain luxuries in life, like being southern., 🙂
THIS IS SPENCER’S FINALE OUTFIT????
I know! He wore that striped Target shirt for like 3 days straight. It cannot be a lucky shirt.
Thanks for coming y’all. I felt like I was talking to myself there for awhile…
Candice has the best dress followed by jessie? is her name?
I think Helen looks great in her dress.
What is that look on Amanda’s face about during final pleas?
it was to GM’s if you vote for me you’ll have lovely parting gifts remark. I think she wanted her to get in trouble for it or something, lol
Yep. That’s right. It’s definitely against the rules to offer anyone anything for their votes.
I was wondering the same thing. Andy had this in the bag.
Yeah vote four and maybe five (aaryn and Helen) was for GM the rest were Andy in opinion,
Really? I think Helen def voted for Andy.
Sour grapes. Amanda thinks she was the mastermind.
i think andy won it…
Ugh, ugh and ugh. Andy deserves a life of obscurity after BB15. Or a Richard Hatch like outcome.
Poor Nick must be shaking in his shoes. I mean really, how does one handle breaking up with someone you weren’t even in a relationship with?
lol, right? She’s all over him and he has that nervous, let me not piss off the crazy girl, laughter going on.
I don’t think he thinks about her as crazy…….seriously
Awww GM squeals like a pig and runs to Nick and gets her hug. That is all she wanted. BTW nick has been very sweet to her in the press and bought tickets to take her to a monster truck event he promised to take her to!
That’s so sweet. I have read/saw all of the things he’s said about her. He really is a very nice guy. It was so nice how he not only had his arm around her, but was caressing her shoulder when they were all standing there. Who knows… crazier things have happened.
Judd Elissa and Howard were top three favorites. That has to sting the mean girls.
i wish we had grouped to consolidate Judd or Howard………would make me feel better
You know, of all the shows they should have a reunion/discussion show, it should be Big Brother. I would love to be a fly on the wall when they find out what the world thinks of them and that they’ve lost their jobs. Also, I don’t know why, but I get the feeling that Amanda is mad or worried about mccrae. Maybe he didn’t give her the reception she expected?
Lori, you are spot-on about Amanda…………..very perceptive.
Thanks again for stopping by! xoxo TT
Sorry not anywhere near a TV. Anyone have updates? Has voting begun???
Andy with all but 2 votes…..winner!!!
CBS.com has live broadcast from backyard at 11:45 eastern time (Jeff Shroder?)
I saw the article about Nick and actually watched the live feed (July 4 at 4am for all of you live feed subscribers) where she discusses bulimia with him. What you see is a very loving and concerned guy who genuinely cares for her. (i have seen other feeds of them where having fun-not about her own issues)
No surprise about Andy, but i am OK with that. As i stated in another post, i have alot of concerns about GM’s insecurity and would almost think that 500K would be a curse for her……….too many people would try to take advantage of her.
I felt that her communication problems made it difficult for her to answer questions from jury well at all. That and perhaps lack of forethought. Amanda’s clearly bitchy ? about big game moves prior to getting McCranda evicted could have been answered with alot of things from “quiet game” to wins with a broken toe, to avoiding eviction, etc. She could have said alot of stuff…………but she is just she, and she is the best she that she can be right now………..(yet i pray she gets better and 50K is probably better for her in long run)
NOW……..this is what i REALLY fucking love from this finale: Andy manipulated the jury just as he has manipulated and BS’d these people this entire season!!!! All of the “I love you all’s” will be thrown in all of those voter’s faces once they get onto live feeds, especially these past 5 days, and hear how much SHIT he has said about every one of them!!!! And i have watched alot, i am not saying he was the lone ranger in that, but i do have to say that i noted that he had a tendency to start the gossip/trash talk and then the others would join in. It is pretty funny in my book. Should be a rude awakening to these folks. I would add one more thing………….i see how pissy a couple of these chicks were with voting personally, and yet (for example), Candice is now friends with Aaryn???? Aaryn was much more hateful than GM ever was………and i remember when Elissa was bitch to Amanda and then……….well you know. But i think it is funny that those who voted based upon emotion will be shocked once they realize what Andy said about them.
Andy wins. Who is remotely surprised? Elissa gets $25K as America’s favorite. Again, with the Brenchel Arny, who is remotely surprised?
thumbs down on the Elissa win 🙁 i liked/hated/loved/permanently dislike (mostly) that little snot
Andy the Floater Rat, the “sweet gay guy” that checked his real world morals and values at the door by betraying, lying, back stabbing, front stabbing, framing, tricking, manipulating, and charming the HG WON BB15. #GAG. To me Andy will be the most controversial winner in BB history. Even more than the winner that took up drug dealing and ended up in prison.
I am going to piss and vomit all over his BB win forever. Harsh? NO, not to me.
He looked the other way at the racist & homophobic remarks. He NEVER once told anyone to stop. Yeah he talked about Aaryn & Gina Marie, but he never told them to stop because he is a coward who did not want to ruin his game. Money over morals.
Andy was part of Amanda’s SICK plan to bully Elissa so that he can be a sympathetic supporter to trick Elissa to save his ass from nomination. He passive aggressively BULLIED his way to a win too. Though he talked bad about Amanda for her bullying ways, he NEVER told her to her face that it was wrong or to stop it. Again money over morals.
Not only was he complacent and passive about the hateful activity in the house, but Andy also was the ring leader of misogynistic parade. He bashed the women mercilessly behind their backs, and was all smiles to their faces. He is the worst. They way he talked about Elissa after her eviction up until the last few moments on the live feeds today are sickening. And to add insult to injury Elissa voted for him to win. I had only wished that someone would pull a “Topaz” vote on his pasty ass like from BB Canada so that I could see his ratty head explode on national tv.
Why do I hate Andy so much? Because in week one I heard him joking with Spencer & Howard about sexually molesting the women in the house. He was not alone in this disgusting conversation. I could NOT believe my ears that a ‘sweet gay guy’ could have such thoughts about women HG or women/mothers in general. He never told Spencer or Howard to stop. No he just laughed and laughed with them.
HERE IS A TRANSCIPT (as best could be done)
July 1 3:50:30am Camera 4
Outside: Howard, Spencer,Andy
Andy: So I haven’t showered in two days and I’m sleeping with Jessie tonight. So maybe I’ll shower before bed or maybe or maybe I won’t…who gives a F***..
Spencer: Get to take a hot shower. Oooh, how about it’ll be dark and I’ll slip in there behind her and rub my boner on her.
Howard : Maybe you and me could switch. (pauses) I just want to get up in the middle of the night and scare somebody.
Howard: Like..’ Don’t. Don’t move. Don’t say anything.’
Andy (in gruff voice): Don’t F***ing say a word, Bi**h.
Howard (smiling): ‘Don’t say sh%t.’..like kinda wrap my arm around…
Spencer: “You say sh%t and I’m gunna F***ing cut your throat.’
Howard. ‘Don’t. Say. sh%t.”
Andy (laughing hard): I’m trying to think of the funniest person to do that would be.
Howard: Do Helen like that. (raises to high pitched voice) “Howard, its okay.” (shakes his head, punches his fist into his hand) ‘I’m about to molest you Bi**h.’
Spencer: “I’m about to F*** you up girl.”
Andy (high pitched voice): ‘Maybe at least I’ll get airtime!”
Spencer: You…you do it to Aaryn.
Andy: Now with that attention starved Bi**h
***group breaks up soon afterwards.***
Yes Spencer & Howard were involved and I bitched about their involvement too. I am pissed at them, and I will always look at them with a side eye. I DO NOT FORGET shit like this. Andy’s pathos got worse and more consistent each week.
Emotionally & personally I have no respect for someone like him. Intellectually I can accept that he may have played a good game to win, but emotionally I still loathe everything about what he DID NOT do. He did not stand up for what was right. He did not stand up for racism or homophobia. He did NOT stand against Gina Marie’s xenophobia & ignorance. He did NOT stand against Amanda and her bullying. And he did NOT stand against violence against women. And he perpetuated all of the ills in this game for amusement, sabotage, and game play.
I’m off my high and might soap box now.I’m gonna go read the rest of the comments here and have fun and add to the observations and snarky shit that is way more fun than bitching about some bitchy queen with old lady legs that won a bitchy game by being a HUGE bitch.
Awww, seeeee??? Now I have a crush on you. 8)
The only person who told GM to STFU with the racist/xenophobic remarks was Judd.
Yes Judd did respectfully try to stop the negativity, but obviously he was unsuccessful.
Andy the coward floater rat NEVER once told someone to their face to stop. He is wretched human being. He knew who was saying/doing bigotry. But he NEVER confronted anyone about it. I think it is possible to respectfully confront people about bigotry & bullying without compromising the game. He chose the low road to act like a complete ass hole.
In the early weeks McCrae called out Amanda repeatedly to watch her choice of words. Well you can see how that turned out. That succubus drained him of all his engery, and he curled up into the fetal position and just gave up.
That’s sick. I watched maybe ten minutes of this whole season. I WAS a big fan of the show but the racism and other issues turned me completely off. I can’t watch shit like that. I pray that is not an example of our society and that some producer convinced everyone to cast a bunch of fucked up people to see just how fucked up they could get. UGH.
I do want to thank all of you that posted updates. A special thanks to our host and UF. This site saves me hours of time wasting TV. Thanks again.
LOL at Candice. She just told Jeff in her backyard interview that in the jury house for movie night she requested “The Help” to watch with Aaryn. She said it had a profound effect on Aaryn. Interesting.
Dammit! How did I miss all of this? Any word on hg’s losing jobs or if they are more aware of reaction from outside world?
The clip of Candice and Jeff is on YouTube.
Doubt that, Candice. It took a lifetime for Aaryn to turn into that little white-trashy, bullying, racist bitch. One movie will not make much impact. Aaryn was just playing that jury house game after so many boos and being called out by Julie…….
My favorite season EVER with the winner being the player that I hate more than any other. Elyssa has been so played by Andy even with his initial greeting to her on last night’s show….he is a much more defective/despicable human being than any other of this year’s cast.
Yes, and Andy has been doing damage control about his Elissa-bashing via Twitter today.
What has he had to say for himself?
From Andy’s twitter: “I’m going to say it right now: I already feel terrible about my Elissa comments. To anyone I offended, especially Elissa, I am sorry.”
Can’t you totally hear his voice when you read that? I hate to say it, but that was a lame ass apology.
I don’t think it’s sincere. Rachel called him out on his Brenchel comments, and he apologized, but I think that’s only because he’s realizing that people actually loved Elissa.
UF, i understand what you are saying and applaud how you were able to explain the disdain. You are right about Andy’s game. I don’t know enough BB history to discern his overall game, let alone the incredible bigots in the house from any other seasons. And i also see how it is you like Elissa so much in that we got her feed about how upset she was with Aaryn’s racism. But what does this say about us in general as a society. Yes, this was a genuine “1984” test and human race in USA failed played poorly. I note that very few bullies go too far in society without encouragement in some form.
I was feeling for GM in final days as she was exposed to alot of male sexual frustration talk, and i thought she was a bit annoyed, but she is a pretty patient woman. Did you see David’s interview about Aaryn? (“she was starting to get under my skin already, so i don’t think i would like to spend any more time with her”)
As I said b4, once these jurors who voted for Andy see the live feeds, especially last few days’ worth, they will be eating crow for considering themselves good judge of “character” in the game.
Judd seemed to be the kindest hamster, but overall, the entire group was pretty shitty. And i guess there is a line between BS/tolerance/lies when it comes to votes, etc, but there should be no tolerance for the behaviors that were bullying and misogynistic and bigoted and homophobic.
Welcome to the world of GENERATION X and Y people!!!! The groups (in general) seem to place self aggrandising, money/power/fame over sticking up for what is “right”. Of course, these kids were raised by some parents, some community. Or maybe CBS had some shit casting staff for this season?
Can anyone give me episodes where bigotry was present, called out and then thwarted? Can anyone give me players who never got personal?
I find myself just praying that GM finds strength, as my greatest concern is for a woman who has spent her life in a world where “beauty at all cost” is the motto for females. I realize that there was a cam in toilet area and wonder if BB paid attention to times that she likely was vomiting and maybe, JUST MAYBE, someone at CBS would do something to help this young woman follow a path to decrease her fragility, and increase her confidence and self-acceptance. OK TT, sorry for my GM
mush-mush, but that is who i am. That 40K (after taxes) may help her to get somewhere new………….that, along with new friends and, yes, fans.
I suspect the only people walking out of that house who will not be facing tremendous shame and guilt and Helen, Elissa, Judd and Candice. But even those folks will have their own reintegration shocks.
TT, Wil is supposed to have new video up today.
when i said “episodes” above, i mean other BB seasons…
Actually Docwall I really don’t like Elissa that much, but she’s still a good person. I was greatly amused by her inept social skills and awkward ways. I couldn’t stand her for superficial reasons but she was unintentionally hilarious to watch in this game. She starred in some of my “top favorite moments” in the house.
I can honestly say Helen was my favorite HG. She embodied all the traits of a great BB player. I think she is so smart and funny, and she really played this game hard without all the negativity. If it wasn’t for Andy she would have gone further.
I took great pleasure in watching my anticipated “Helen on Fire” when Dr. Will showed up at jury house. She is sweet and hope she gets to play again! (heard rumors)
You are so right about these new generations. Hell, even my own generation worries the sit out of me, and most of them are the parents of these new generations. I have said for many years now that I am terrified when my parent’s generation are all gone from this earth. I feel like they will be taking with them all that is good and wholesome.
As a gay male, I’m content that Andy has won. He did everything he was supposed to do and played up every negative gay stereotype to his advantage instead of disadvantage as we’ve seen in the past with gay contestants.
That being said, I still hate him, because he’s simply boring. He’s like Maggie. Played an amazing game but lacks a moral compass. He did what he had to do, and for people to take that away from him in a game like this is sort of ridiculous…especially up against players like Spencer/GM.
I read UF’s post, and it makes sense, but Andy will never be a more despicable person than 95% of the horrible people we see on Big Brother time and time again, and that includes THIS season as well.
Thank you UF -I completely agree with you. One of the things that bothered me the most was Andy never saying those words were wrong. You can say it in a kind way where you wouldn’t endanger your game so that’s no excuse. Morals over money. And GinaMarie is a grown woman at 33. There is NO excuse for her and her comments, especially the horrible comment about Elissa’a child. I’m pretty sure Nick is hanging on to GM for a few extra seconds on the fame train since she kept his name alive. Good ridance. No one will remember these people in about a month. On a side note I couldn’t help notice how perfect of a couple Dr. Will and Amanda would be. She was holding hands with McCrae at the end while the credits were rolling but they looked ridiculous with her dressed up and him standing there like her child in a T from Baby Gap and the sloppy bandana. I am just so glad it’s over and Survivor is on.
Dr. Will is wayyyyy too hot and good for Amanda, but I agree about how ridiculous Amanda and mcCrae looked together. I have a feeling their romantic relationship fits not continue on outside of the bb house.
*will not continue outside of the bb house.
For the record Nick annoys the shit out of me, but I really don’t think Nick is using GM for anything. Before entering BB game he has a thick resume of work modeling/commercials, acting, etc….He seems to have a full life with out her, and actually I think she is nothing but baggage for him. But he is “handling” her graciously and respectfully like a gentlemen. IMO…
Andy has apologized on twitter but I don’t care, and this shit stain is NOT sincere. When he was in the BB house speculating about his life post BB, he wondered if he would be hated and hoped he would be a target of death threats. He said it would be an honor & complement to be hated so much. Well his wish has come true.
I am usually a faithful follower of Big Brother, but decided not to tune in once I saw the direction it was heading. I have been glad that I refused to get sucked in, but your posts on the subject Urethra make me wish I watched…
YAAAAAY! Andy got fired from his teaching job for the violent comments he made about Elissa… at least we have that. …
WOW for the first in my twitter existence I am receiving bizarre rambling HATE TWEETS because of what I wrote about Andy the Floater rat shit stain. Apparently I am accused of being brainwashed by the church to hate gays…….Now I know how TT feels….
Lmao. That’s funny.
Screw then UF!!! haters………….i listened to Evel Dick talk about these haters and he suggests call them out, so:
STFU haters——-it is YOU who have a problem!!! Get a grip, get a life and remember that finger pointing “out there” is a reflection of who you are!
UF: it is just sick Andy. He is one sick waste of space.
Where is the HBIC?
Hopefully taking a much needed break! 🙂
I was indeed. Sorry for not being around much. I was going through a thing, you know, as I am want to do.
Thanks for welcoming the new commenters and explaining the tip jar, and tipping and such. You are all too kind!
Tamara, do you blog survivor? I am loving that hayden from bb is on it. Nice added bonus.
I do not blog Survivor because the season is always spoiled ahead of time and I don’t want people coming here to tell us who won. I get spoiled enough on shows by having to moderate fools with spoilers. 🙂
I really feel vindicated that Amanda won Big Brother.
