‘Big Brother 15’ review: Who could return to the game, and the start of the HoH competition
(Update: Click HERE for updates for the Head of Household Competition.) Tonight’s episode of “Big Brother 15” had quite a bit to get to, and we’re sure that the contestants were pretty well aware that there was something fishy going on when Helen was evicted from the game a little bit earlier than expected. Seeing her leave was no surprise; despite a little bit of debate before the eviction show among GinaMarie and Andy, it was the 4-1 decision that we expected.
Helen and Amanda ultimately both made a big mistake in this game in going after each other. If they had teamed up and kept a final four with Elissa and McCrae, there would have constantly been two targets of the rest of the house, and neither one would be the threat. Now, Amanda is going to be in everyone’s crosshairs, and you never want to remain on an island.
The big news – But really, we know that you’re not reading this to find out who was evicted; you want to see who is going to be coming back! Jessie, Judd, Candice, and Helen are all going to get an opportunity to do that very thing.
But, CBS decided that they were going to be very tricky devils tonight. The Head of Household Competition and the returning jury member competition, were combined into one. Basically, you had to catch as many baseballs as possible, and put them into a bin. The first person to get ten is Head of Household, and the first jury member to get ten comes back into the game. The expression on Amanda’s face was perfect, as she realized that she was going to be completely screwed by somebody knowing all of her gameplay moves, and would be gunning to have her gone.
We’re going to have the winner soon in a separate article, sadly. We’re also slightly bummed that this competition is a little random to control, at least compared to an endurance.
What did you think about tonight’s episode? If you want to check out some more news related to the show, you can do so here. Also, that link will have an update once the competition is over.

BB 8/22competition very unfair

Don’t really know how to leave comments elsewhere, but since you are offering free posts (unlike other places that require to log in and register), thought you or others might be able to post on multiple locations about the issue of fairness.
Not advocating for any specific individual, but if you look at slow motion, you’ll see that the first two balls were undershot and didn’t even reach Candace or Helen. The second shot also didn’t reach Amanda.
Though I read that Spencer and McRae are already out, it was not fair that water was in Helen’s face while entirely missing Spencer and Andy and mostly missing McCrae.
Game should not be decided by the design flaws of the water and how balls shot.
Golden Rule, what would you want if you were in any of the contestants shoes?
i can see why bb cut off the live feed to to not let public see and/or complain about their technical glitches not being fair to the contestants.
game fixed

I noticed that the water wasn’t hitting Amanda right from the start in the televised portion of the show. Everyone was getting it in the face, and then there’s Amanda, I think it hit her elbow. The show does appear to be rigged in Amanda’s favor. I also think that Andy is working for BB15. He is such a total devoted Amanda follower, it’s cult like. So, I think his job is to do everything he can to get Amanda to final two. How does he always, always appear wherever there is an important conversation going on? It’s because he is told where to go by BB 15, and is told to report back to Amanda. That way BB won’t get accused of providing her insider information if we all see her getting it from Andy. That’s my theory. I so hope I am wrong, and even look forward to being wrong when she is evicted. But, she won’t be.
