‘Big Brother 15’ live feed spoilers; Updates on Helen’s ‘push,’ Judd, Elissa, and Amanda
Of course, we start off this “Big Brother 15” update with a warning now: If you want to avoid spoilers from the competition that aired on Thursday night, stop reading now!
Elissa was the winner of the Head of Household Competition for the first time all season, and Judd is the returning player. While he may not have had a chance to stay if someone like Amanda won, Elissa makes things interesting for Party Daughtery. She is not someone who has any allies, and she also hates everyone else in the house that is not him. If we were him, we would make a deal with her … and fast.
Ultimately, it is still hard to figure out where Elissa’s head is at tonight. There have been plenty of pushing throughout the night, and also random small-talk. In a small conversation with Amanda, she did at least suggest that Aaryn was her primary target, but that she is going to probably put up either her or McCrae as the other nominee. Amanda’s worried about him going home, but we think that Aaryn and him are probably the most-likely nominees. If she really wants Aaryn out, she would want someone who could win the Veto against her. Plus, he’s never been nominated before.
Judd has acted as though most of Jessie’s anger is towards Elissa and Helen despite her cursing out Amanda during the HoH Competition, and we wonder how much information that he is keeping to himself for the time being. He’s saying that there was not much information shared, and most people are being pretty nice to him. However, he will probably be much more cautious from here on out.
Finally, we want to mention something that was nuts on Twitter tonight: Rumors that Helen was “pushed” off during the competition thanks to a GIF that showed some hand behind her of production. Production’s not going to do that; it’s stupid. If there was already rigging going on, Aaryn would be gone from the game already.

I think there was a deal made…if you watch Helen she doesn’t even stumble or try to catch herself; she simply steps off!

The show IS rigged. Helen, Candice, and Jessie were told before the competition that after a certain amount of time, if they were still on the platform, they needed to fall off when they got the signal (foot being touched). Jessie fell off before her signal (that’s why she was so upset), but Helen and Candice both stayed up long enough to get a signal. Notice how throughout the competition, Helen made sure she kept one foot as far back as possible (almost to the point where she was sticking her foot through the opening) so someone backstage could easily give her the signal. BB probably offered Helen, Candice, and Jessie a monetary reward if they cooperated, or it could be just part of their BB contract where they just have to cooperate and do whatever the producers say.
ALL reality shows are rigged to some degree because it is all about network ratings and advertising dollars. The producers wanted Judd back in the show because he is a fan favorite. The MVP twist this year was added because it gave the producers another way of controlling the outcome each week.
Another note: Notice Candice’s response when Judd offers the jury members money if they fall. What did she mean by her response?

I’m pretty sure it’s in the rules that you are not allowed to make any deals that involve splitting the prize money at the end. Judd was offering each of them $5,000 I think (if I heard it right), if they would let him win and get back into the house (assuming he went on to win the whole season). That would be a violation of the rules, that’s what Candice meant.
It’s a good rule to have, otherwise people could promise jury members however much money if they would vote for them to win in the end.

Judd has $5000 in game money he won during a veto competition. He is allowed to trade it to anyone for anything he can get for it.

I’m sure you’re right about all of that – notice how Helen didn’t offer any explanation about why/how she fell and the replay shows that nothing significant happened to make her fall!
That’s so annoying!

Its clear as day that they pushed her. There is no reason for a hand to come up behind her

Hmm… which joke to make…
“I’d like to come upon her behind.”, or “I can think of a reason for my hand to come up on her from behind.”

are you kidding me… of course they would not get rid of aaryn because she was getting the show publicity. All they care about is how much money they can make. The integrity of the game is worthless to them if it is not making them money.
