‘Big Brother 15’ live feed spoilers: Helen Kim is basically the Godfather

If we’ve learned anything from the past few weeks of “Big Brother 15,” it is as follows: While Amanda may be the person that you fear when it comes to angry confrontations, she is not the person that is going to whack you from this game. That person is seemingly-kind and sweet mother Helen Kim. It was Howard’s lie to her that really was the beginning of the end for him and his game, as she has Aaryn and Elissa both firmly under her thumb at the moment. (Thanks to Aaryn, also GinaMarie to an extent.)

Howard tried to apologize after wronging her, but that didn’t really help him; now, Jessie is the latest person to try to kiss the ring and make it all better. She has spent a good bit of time apologizing profusely to Helen today for breaching her trust and briefly going along with a plan to keep Howard in the game, even though she also claims that she didn’t start it and was basically just trying to go with the flow.

Helen laid on the waterworks aplenty, and got especially emotional over claims that she didn’t need the money. At one point, Jessie went as far as to say that she hopes Helen wins the game. A little desperate, no? Well, Jessie needs to make her happy, given that GinaMarie is planning to put her up on the block, and while the target for now is Candice, that could change in the days ahead depending on strategy, the MVP, and who wins the Power of Veto. If Candice can mount a charge with Spencer, Elissa, Judd, and Andy (who would be the hardest to convince) to get rid of Aaryn if she is the MVP nominee, there could be something crazy that happens.

Also this afternoon, Amanda has tried to do some damage control, apologizing profusely for going nuts last night after being talked about as a possible evictee a la Rupert’s “who voted for me?” meltdown on “Survivor: Pearl Islands.” It’s been a strange two days for sure, and it could get stranger with nominations coming up.
