And it's on!!! Despite some early feed troubles (many were black and CBS apparently isn't compatible with the Kindle Silk browser, but I'd cleverly installed the Dolphin browser on my Kindle and that works) it was a good night for feed watching.
As you should already know McCrae (pizza deliveryboy) is the HOH. He's nominated Jessie (somewhat ditzy unemployed girl from Texas) and Candice (former Miss Louisiana/pediatric speech therapist) for eviction. The real target (if you can believe everyone) is Elissa (Rachel's sister) who they're planning to backdoor. Elissa did a horrible job of disguising her appearance and the house now knows who she is. (Come on really? You wear your hair like Rachel only a slightly toned down color, the same makeup, and many of the same gestures/mannerisms and you don't think they'll notice the resemblance? Yeah. Tone down the makeup, no giant false eyelashes, get a short, flirty haircut and maybe she could fool them, but not the way she came into the house. Julie quoting Rachel didn't help her any, but the rest of the house would have to be braindead not to notice the strong resemblance.)
On to showmances. At this time David (surfer dude) and Aaryn (cute model/student from Texas) are a couple. Jeremy (tattooed boat shop assistant from Texas) has Jessie and Kaitlin both more or less fighting over him. Kaitln told Amanda that she's just playing him on, but she seems a bit more interested than that. Amanda is sleeping with McCrae in the HOH room, but there doesn't seem to anything romantic there.
Alliances are the typical confusing mess right now. Everyone seems to think they're allied with everyone else in some fashion. Amanda and Kaitlin seem to think they're in an alliance with McCrae. There's the Moving Company alliance of all men which includes McCrae, Spencer (big redhead with beard), Nick (nerdy guy), Howard (big African American youth counselor), and Jeremy (boat shop assistant.) There may be another alliance of Aaryn, David, Kaitlin (Minnesota bartender), and Ginamarie (blond Jojo.) Andy (redheaded gay guy) and Amanda (Florida realtor) seem pretty friendly and close to McCrae so there could be something going on there too. Helen (Aisan lawyer), Judd (frog hunting appraiser) and Candice seem to be on their own.
We've already had the Have Nots comp and the Have Nots this week are Elissa, Howard, Helen, Judd, and probably Andy.
They're having the POV comp later today so the house will learn who the MVP nominated before that so the POV players can be picked. The feeds generally come back up after the picking of the players and before the comp, so we should learn who the third nominee is then.
Amanda seems to be taking on the role played by Jojo last year in Willie's first HOH and she's got the game all planned out to the final four, which not surprisingly includes her and McCrae. There's a disease called HOH-itis that hits the first HOH every year. They're always convinced that they are in complete control and make deals with everyone and then are shocked to find out those deals aren't followed through once they leave power.
Andy could be in a little bit of trouble as a player. He let McCrae know that he'd seen how much time McCrae and Amanda were spending together and that's not generally something that's smart to do. You can notice it, make a mental note of it, but if you tell one of the two you see how much time they're spending together, they may decide to get rid of observant little you. It's really smart to observe everything that goes on, really dumb to talk about what you see. I don't think he's in trouble this week, but down the road, if McCrae or Amanda win HOH, Andy could have a target on his back.
We should have the houseguests awakened around noonish Eastern time and the MVP nominee will then be announced before the POV players are picked. Then they'll get around to the POV comp and we'll have a POV winner. If anyone but Elissa wins, then we should see Candice or Jessie come down and Elissa go up. The votes are there to evict Elissa now, but a lot will happen between now and Wednesday so we'll have to see what happens.
I'll post back later as we learn who the MVP nominated and who the POV players are.
Fly!!! Eagles!!! Fly!!!
