‘Big Brother 15’ live feed spoilers: Goof Troop manipulation; Candice’s paranoia

As you’re watching tonight’s episode of “Big Brother 15,” why not take advantage of the opportunity to check out a few assorted highlights from the live feed? There is quite a bit going on tonight, even if most of it is subtle strategy with the long-term game in mind.

The first thing that we turn to here is Jessie, who is being pulled every which way as a means to getting set up as a swing vote down the line. We know that she is closest to Judd, and he, as a member of the Goof Troop, is pressing her to keep close to Amanda and McCrae more so than Elissa and Helen. Will she actually listen? At this point, she would be smart to for a certain stretch of time, but at a certain point in the game, we’re curious to see if Jessie is going to realize that she has a huge opportunity to go to the end, given that she has been pretty useless strategically. The final five or so is when she should really come alive as a player.

Also tonight, we’ve learned that Candice is so conspiratorial right now that she thinks that the plan was always to backdoor her, but despite a tiny conversation in the Goof Troop meeting, the plan for now still does appear to be to get rid of Howard. Candice has more or less resigned herself, which helps her cause to stay. Meanwhile, Spencer is campaigning hard to keep Howard, which will probably only hurt him.

The last thing that is worth noting for now is that there’s another nail party tonight! The last time that happened, there was some unexpected comedy, so here’s to hoping for more from that.
