Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for 10/31/2016!!!

Happy Halloween! Yesterday saw new divisions arise and old ones spread as paranoia gripped the house. The HOH camera appeared and photos were taken then shortly after that Danielle wandered out into the backyard in the rain and paced around debating her options on the nominations. She consulted with Jason and Scott both before deciding to put up Whitney and Shelby. 

Justin was told of the change in nominees and told Whitney before the Safety Ceremony that she'd be going up. Whitney was surprised by this as Danielle had told her earlier she was safe. So the Safety Ceremony took place and Shelby and Whitney were the nominees. Neither girl was happy about it, but accepted it. 

The Ball Smashers, minus Scott then had some chat time and decided Scott was becoming an issue for them and when/if they get numbers on their side he'll be the first to go. Whitney later on had a chat with Kryssie, Justin and Jason and the four of them decided that Danielle must be in an alliance with Scott and Alex and that Danielle was probably the deciding vote to evict Neeley. (She isn't and she wasn't.) Kryssie, Jason and Justin all vowed to use the POV on Whitney if they won it. (Not likely that they will use it on Whitney, but who knows. Everyone there likes Whitney.)

The Ball Smashers begged America to put up Kryssie. They think she'll be easier to beat in the POV comp and that would be the best move for their side. (I gave Kryssie all forty of my votes. The polling is tight between Scott and Kryssie, but Kryssie seems to be ahead in the polls for now.) Kryssie is hoping the comp isn't physical as her hands still haven't totally healed. (I'm tired of hearing about her hands and how well she did in that earlier POV. She was awful! Somehow she's convinced herself that she was seconds away from winning it.) We'll have to see who gets the America's Nomination.

This will be a very, very busy day for the house. They'll get them up a bit early today for the reveal of America's Nominee and the picking of the POV players at 1:00 PM ET. Then they have the POV comp at 4:00 PM ET. At some point they'll get their Halloween costumes and don them. Then tonight they'll have a two hour (or so) Halloween party. Expect lots of mysterious creatures to loom up in the mirrors through the house. I would anticipate the lights flashing on and off and some interesting sound effects also. It should be a fun night.

America's Nominee is the big early event. If that's Kryssie (it'll be either Kryssie or Scott), then the focus turns to the POV comp. A Ball Smasher win there likely keeps them safe this week and could possibly see Jason or Justin leaving. (Especially if word reaches Danielle that Jason/Justin/Kryssie think she's in a secret alliance with Alex and Scott. Justin's just about crazy enough to tell her that too.) The plan is for Shelby to offer to let Danielle keep Kryssie or Jason/Justin, but not all of them. A Ball Smasher would use the POV take down Shelby (unless Whitney wins it then Whitney would take herself down) and then the decision on who to evict would largely come down to Danielle. If she puts up another Ball Smasher then Kryssie would go. If she put up Jason/Justin that guy would likely go.

This is a good day to glue yourself to the feeds. Lots of fun and entertaining stuff is likely to take place over the course of the day/night.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Sunday 10/30/2016!!!

And the great Krackel war has come to an end. The Ball Smashers had largely prevented the theft of the Krackel bars this week by rushing to the storage room after the restocking to snatch up the fresh Krackel bars before Jason could get to them. (They still left some for the rest of the house, but grabbed thier share of them before they could be stolen.) 

Yesterday found the Ball Smashers searching the house for Neeley's witch's hat that Justin stole and hid. (The girls were planning to create monster to scare Justin with Shelby on Morgan's shoulders with the pair wrapped in a bedspread and Shelby wearing the witch's hat. They believe this nine foot tall witch would unnerve Justin a bit.) In the process of searching for the witch's hat Morgan found the Krackel stockpile of the LNJ hidden in a pillow wedged behind the dresser in the London bedroom. Much rejoicing ensued as the girls shared in the bounty. Shelby filled her Care Package box with Krackels and then returned some to the hiding place in the London bedroom.

With the Krackel war ended, it was soon time to find out who the Have Nots were for the week. There were three house guests who had not yet been Have Nots in Justin, Kryssie and Whitney. Justin begged America not to make him a Have Not, but his pleas came just before the announcement which was well after the voting had closed. Danielle went to get the card as the house guests gathered on the sofas to await the formal announcement.Jason told Justin that if Justin was a Have Not he'd run through the house rejoicing like Justin had each time his name hadn't been called. Danielle soon returned with the card and read off the names. The Have Nots this week were Whitney, Kryssie and Justin! When Justin's name was read everyone but Justin leapt from the sofas and ran a lap around the house shouting joyously and waving their arms while laughing hysterically.

They all then returned to the sofas and collapsed in laughter. Even Justin was smiling, but he was not happy about being a Have Not. Kryssie and Whitney took it in stride, but Whitney was concerned that her name was read first. The first name read in recent weeks had been America's Nominee and she's worried about that. (She's safe. It will likely be Kryssie.)

With the Have Nots now named the Ball Smashers now slipped upstairs one by one to consult with Danielle about who she's going to nominate. Alex and Scott were assured they'd be safe this week. Shelby was assured she wouldn't be the target this week. Whitney was told she would be safe. Morgan is the target this week and if Morgan comes down the LNJ wants to put up Whitney to replace her.

The LNJ want to get rid of anyone on the Ball Smasher side who hasn't won a Care Package so the LNJ will default into future Care Packages. They'd assumed earlier in the game that they'd get them all simply due to Jason's presence and his large fan base. Their behavior in the house quickly flipped America against them however and they now know America has turned on them. Since they can't count on earning a Care Package by the votes, they're now scheming to get them by eliminating everyone else who's eligible to get one. With only Whitney and Morgan eligible on the Ball Smasher side and three Care Packages remaining, the LNJ wants the eligible girls gone so the LNJ will get the Care Packages. 

Last night the first Safety Ceremony was held and to no one's surprise Danielle saved Jason, Justin and Kryssie. Tonight she'll save Whitney, Scott and Alex, leaving Shelby and Morgan as the nominees. Then America starts voting on America's Nominee (likely Kryssie by the polling) and we'll head into Monday with the POV controlling the outcome of the game once again. A win by the Ball Smasher side of the house will have either Kryssie or possibly Jason heading out. 

There's a plan in place to approach Danielle should a Ball Smasher win POV and offer to let Danielle keep Kryssie if she puts up Jason as the replacement when the Ball Smashers use the POV. It's a good tactical move for both parties, but I'm not sure Danielle would go along with it. We'll find out if the Ball Smashers win POV. Danielle might prefer to lose Justin and that could be a compromise both sides agree would also be acceptable. We'll have to see what happens. A lot is riding on the POV tomorrow.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for 10/29/2016!!!

Yesterday saw the Care Package delivered and Shelby won the Care Package. The LNJ side of the house took the news badly while the Ball Smashers celebrated wildly and sang "God Bless America" when they went inside. The Ball Smashers then immediately gathered together to formulate a plan on how to move forward. They quickly realized that Shelby would likely be a big target this week because of winning the Care Package, so they're planning accordingly. They quickly realized that survival this week comes down to the POV again..

Danielle seems to have decided to nominate Morgan and Shelby. Both are expecting to be nominated. Jason, Scott and Alex have formed a one week alliance for mutual protection though none of the three seem at risk right now.

We had the live DR's last night and nothing too dramatic happened in them. Kryssie's was delusional as always. She doesn't understand why America is voting against her side of the house. She still believes Scott somehow knew Kryssie was injured and was clapping because she got hurt. (He wasn't.) She thinks the other side isn't playing the game. (They are.) She still can't understand why they voted out Neeley instead of someone on their side. (Because they aren't idiots.) She seems to assume that anyone not on her side isn't playing the game. Her perspective on the game is so totally out of whack with reality that it makes your head spin listening to her. Her boyfriend was on a podcast recently and said Kryssie had mental health issues and probably shouldn't be in the house and that he'd scale the walls to get her out. If we get a long period of fish any time it could be production shooting him off the wall.

Shelby is planning to remind Danielle of Justin's betrayals against her to try and get Danielle to nominate Justin and maybe Kryssie. Shelby plans to remind Danielle that Justin picked her in the puzzle POV comp costing her the POV. He also voted against her before and is closer to Kryssie than her. Shelby seems to want to keep Danielle around to go against in the final three which is a smart strategy.

The house is getting Chinese food for Halloween and they're excited for that. They're also looking forward to the party Monday night. The costumes should be fun. Morgan's getting a witch costume and she's planning to use it to torture Justin who's terrified of witches.

Today the Have Nots get announced. The polls seem to indicate that Justin, Kryssie, and Whitney are the lead vote getters, but the polling on Have Nots has been iffy at best. Justin as a Have Not would be very interesting to watch. He's celebrated wildly each week he's avoided it, so seeing him named a Have Not could be funny.

Tonight Danielle will do the first Safety Ceremony. Then tomorrow night the second half will take place. Then on Monday America's Nominee (almost certainly Kryssie) will be announced and then the picking of the POV players and the POV comp will take place. Once again, the POV comp will be huge. Nominating Morgan and Shelby could be a bad choice as both are quite good at POV comps and the LNJ needs to win the POV to get out a Ball Smasher. The Ball Smasher side doesn't really have a bad competitor though. Morgan won the last POV comp. Scott was right behind her and Shelby was next. Justin, Kryssie and Neeley were all pretty bad. Danielle's a good competitor, but a bad draw for her could result in her competing against Kryssie (not a big threat to win,) Morgan, Shelby, Alex and Whitney/Scott. A good draw for Danielle would include Justin who's the strongest physical player left in the house.

If the LNJ wins the POV and Morgan and Shelby are left on the block, the smart move on the Ball Smasher side would be to keep Morgan since she hasn't won a Care Package yet and still could win one. Doing this could be challenging however as they'd have to let Shelby think they were keeping her so she wouldn't disqualify their votes. If the LNJ wins the POV expect lots of mind games to be played on both sides. The smart move on the Ball Smasher side might be to split the two votes and let America pick who stays or goes. If a Ball Smasher wins POV then it's likely goodbye to Kryssie and life gets easier for the Ball Smashers.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for 10/28/2016!!!

Today is Care Package delivery day. The house is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Care Package to see what the heck America is thinking. The Ball Smasher side of the house (Scott, Alex, Shelby, Morgan and Whitney) think/hope/pray America is with them. The Late Night Jamboree side of the house still thinks America loves them and is on their side as it's largely unimaginable to them that they're not beloved.

Danielle and Jason are so convinced that America loves them that they now think Justin is lying to them about voting out Neeley and they're trying to figure out a way to get him to tell them the truth. He is telling them the truth, but they don't want to hear it. They seem to be forgetting that America nominated Neeley. If, as the polls indicate, Shelby wins the Care Package, that may just have the heads of the LNJ side exploding.

Danielle wants to play a real season of Big Brother where people talk game and don't just sit around talking about nothing all the time. She also thinks the Ball Smasher side of the house is boring and doesn't know how to play Big Brother. The Ball Smashers actually talk more game than anyone I've ever seen play Big Brother. They spoke yesterday of waiting until after Care Package as last year the next Care Package was the co-HOH and they want to see if that is this week's Care Package before they make a decision on how to move forward. The LNJ member who was present for that was shocked to hear that co-HOH was even an option. The Ball Smashers wondered what on Earth the other side talks about if they don't talk game and have some idea of what future Care packages could be.

Danielle is not planning to nominate Scott as that would be too obvious and she probably won't nominate Whitney, so that leaves Morgan, Alex and Shelby as likely nominees. Morgan is very nervous about her status in the game. Alex has vowed to help protect her and they want to get to the final three together. Alex wants Morgan to try and get closer to Danielle this week to get a little safer. I still wouldn't be shocked to see Danielle nominate Justin. Her final three had been herself, Kryssie and Neeley. With Neeley now gone she has to rethink that final three. Taking Justin to the final three would be dangerous as he'd likely beat everyone. The same with Jason. I think Danielle, and most of the LNJ would like to take Scott or Shelby to the final three thinking they're the most hated of the other side.

Whitney is generally loved by everyone in the house which is both good and bad for her. She's not an obvious target, but she's among those most likely to win. (Her game may work better with a jury than America however.) Still, taking Whitney to the final three would be a big risk. I think the LNJ view Alex and Morgan as being good players, but probably easier to beat with America. 

Today's Care Package will likely end up going to Shelby and when the LNJ see that they won't believe it. When they hear that it gives the holder the power to eliminate three votes, they'll look around, start counting votes and realize they have no control over the voting process this week. In all likelihood Shelby will cancel out the votes of Jason, Justin and Kryssie. Danielle will then have to recalculate her nominations. Does she put two Ball Smashers on the block, or flip the house and use this as an opportunity to get out Jason or Justin? 

With America giving the Ball Smasher side of the house the edge in votes for multiple votes in a row, Danielle would have to rethink things a bit. She likely doesn't want to have Jason or Justin in her final three. Does she take advantage of this Care Package to nominate the two of them so Shelby has to veto the votes of her own people? If Danielle puts up Jason, Justin, and America nominates Kryssie, the only people Shelby can use her vote veto on would be Scott, Alex, Whitney, and Morgan. That would just leave two people voting (Shelby and whoever of the Ball smashers she didn't use the Care Package on.) If they could convince Shelby to not use the vote veto on Whitney, they might think they could influence Whitney to vote their way, leaving the deciding vote to America.

In that scenario the LNJ would have everyone on their side playing in the POV and they'd have the best chance to win it with four on two. Of course, whoever won the POV would then likely have their vote cancelled by Shelby and the Ball Smasher side would still control who goes home this week. This is a bad week to be Danielle. This Care Package is among the most powerful yet deployed. 

Danielle is going to need to do a lot of strategic thought. With the LNJ getting clobbered in the recent voting she has to be worried about who America puts up. Her only real chance to weaken the Ball Smasher side is to put up two Ball Smashers and then pray her side wins POV, but with Kryssie the likely America's nominee and her track record on POV comps, that's not promising. Could she, would she make a deal with the Ball Smashers for safety for a few weeks in exchange for sacrificing her own side this week? Does Danielle trust her own ability enough in the POV comp to assume she'll win and can save America's Nominee? 

This could be a very interesting next few days as Danielle has to pick the best of a really bad set of options. Does she keep Kryssie, try to join with Whitney and Justin more in the middle of the pack and sacrifice Jason? Would the Ball Smashers play along with that and boot Jason if he was up there? The Ball Smasher side will likely control the vote this week if Shelby wins the Care Package. Do you let them get Jason's blood on their hands? Does Danielle stay loyal to her side and pray they win the POV? Does she think her side can win back America's vote? Those live DR's tonight could be pretty interesting. 

A Danielle, Shelby, Alex session of game talk could be quite interesting too. I'm pretty sure those three could find common ground on people they don't want to take to the final three. I think none of them would want Jason or Justin in the final three. Do they get rid of one of them now? Chances are none of them are overly fond of Whitney being against them in the final three. Do they work out a compromise where Whitney and Jason are the initial nominees with Justin in reserve if the POV is used?

We'll find out this week exactly how good a game player Danielle truly is. This Care Package is a game changer and opens up a lot of opportunities for Danielle. Does she explore them, or continue to try and widen the divide between the two sides? 

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Thursday 10/27/2016!!!

Well, that was fun! Yesterday found the house in a minor state of war. Neeley went off on Scott after overhearing him talking to America about keeping him so he can harass Danielle all week. She went ballistic and Scott largely just stood there and took it.  The house anxiously sat around and waited for the live eviction. 

At the live eviction Scott spoke first and kept it calm and short saying "Thanks for the memories." Neeley then launched into a long narrative detailing everything she thought Scott had done wrong in the game. Among the items she used was Scott clapping when Kryssie got hurt. (For the record Scott had no idea Kryssie was injured and was clapping to psych himself up. Neeley was relying on Kryssie's interpretation of why Scott was clapping to smash him.) Whitney then said, "When you vote tonight, please be smart and know I love you guys with all my heart.  And you know, when something rhymes it must be the truth." Whitney's cute and clever and likely a final three house guest in my opinion.

As expected the house split the vote with zero votes to Whitney and a 3-3 tie along house sides for Neeley and Scott with Jason, Justin and Danielle voting to evict Scott and Alex, Morgan and Shelby voting to evict Neeley. America voted to evict Neeley and Neeley was gone! This led to private joyous celebrations among the Ball Smashers while Kryssie retreated to the Tokyo bedroom to try and figure out what happened.

Jason and Scott then got into a tiff in the kitchen with Jason feeling that Scott was playing a bad game and reminded Scott that there was only one ED in the game's history and Scott was no ED. A few tense minutes then passed as the house waited for the HOH comp. The Ball Smashers sat silent on one side of the kitchen island snacking on chips and dip while the LNJ sat on the other side glaring at them.

Kryssie then got called to the DR to start the HOH comp. They all gathered in the living room and were told they'd have ten minutes to study baseball cards that would be displayed on the memory wall before going into the yard to answer questions about the cards.

BB then had all kinds of trouble getting the audio right and you could hear the booth audio bleeding through as they talked about how to fix the problem and things spiraled downhill from there for production. They eventually started the comp and on the first question, Alex, Shelby and Scott were eliminated. (Alex and Shelby claim that was the only question they didn't know the answer to.) Eventually the comp came down to Whitney and Danielle. They both put up their answers and when Whitney put her answer up the audio issues came up again as the house guests could hear someone in the booth say, "Oh no, Whitney!" Danielle won the HOH.

Jason became a bit concerned that maybe, just maybe it was a bad sign that production was rooting against Danielle and for Whitney and rethought how he's been playing the game. As his side gathered to discuss the situation he suggested that he'd tone things down with Shelby (the least of his problems) and suggested that maybe the LNJ side of the house was being depicted a being petty while the girls were being depicted as being more fun loving. (Petty, vile, disgusting, puppy hitters/starvers, race baiting, label tossing, insulting, demeaning, degrading, and many, many other words could be used to describe the LNJ side of the house also.)

Justin's loyalty was questioned quite a bit by his allies. First Jason confronted him in the storeroom after the vote to ask if he'd voted out Neeley and Justin assured him he hadn't, that it was America. Danielle then was upset because she'd heard Justin cheering for Whitney when it was just her and Whitney as the final two in the HOH battle. Danielle's also not sure Justin didn't vote out Neeley.

Danielle doesn't seem to know who she'll put up this week. She's said she won't put up Alex or Scott. I'm guessing she's assuming America will nominate one of them. (She's wrong as Kryssie seems to be the leading choice for America after her comedic POV performance.) That leaves Morgan, Whitney, and Shelby as possible nominees. The girls aren't planning to talk to Danielle until after they see what the Care Package is this week and who gets it. The Care Package this week is "cancel three votes" which allows whoever gets it to take all the votes from the other side. Shelby seems to be leading the early polling for that.

The LNJ are now experiencing what Monte and Alex felt the first two weeks. You're HOH and safe, but America controls the game. Kryssie lost Neeley on her HOH and once again this week the POV will likely determine which side stays or goes. Assuming the voting goes as expected, Shelby will win the Care Package. Kryssie will be America's nominee and likely America's Eviction vote if she stays on the block. 

There really is no strategic move for Danielle to make. If she assumes Kryssie will be America's Nominee and also get America's vote to evict, then she needs someone on her side to win POV to save Kryssie, but if they win POV they can't backdoor someone else meaning one of her two initial nominees will have to go. Her two biggest targets should be Scott and Alex, but she's already said she won't put them up, apparently hoping to backdoor them and keep them from playing for the POV. Would she leave Kryssie on the block and use the POV on Whitney to try and backdoor Scott? With a Ball Smasher (likely Shelby) winning the Care Package, Kryssie would be gone. Danielle's HOH bought her a week of safety, but that's about all. The same as it worked for Monte and Alex in the first two weeks. You've won, you should be in control and instead you're just killing time and hoping for a miracle.

Today the house gets to chat with Julie who will no doubt talk about the tension in the house. The voting for the Care Package starts at 1:00 PM ET today. It looks like Shelby will win that. The early favorites for the Have Nots are the two who haven't been Have Nots in Justin, Whitney, and then add in Kryssie. And if things go as expected Kryssie will likely be America's Nominee. 

The POV comp is once again huge.The LNJ have to win it to have any chance of sending a Ball Smasher home. Their problem is there are no weak players on the Ball Smashers' side. Any of them could win any POV. Danielle may not want to put up Alex as she's a good physical threat, but Morgan just flew through the wall comp despite two mistakes. She may not want to put up Scott thinking he's more of a mental threat. There is no good move for Danielle. Her best option is to put up the two she most wants gone and pray someone on her side wins POV. 

Barring a big surprise, we won't know how this week will play out until the POV comp on Monday. I wouldn't be shocked to see Danielle put up Justin. His flirting with the other side and her uncertainty over how he voted could have her sacrifice him to the Ball Smashers. She could make a deal with the girls and put up Scott and Justin and see what happens. Danielle and Justin aren't best buds. I don't think that will happen, but who knows. There's a lot of uncertainty in the house right now.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for 10/26/2016!!!

Ah, just when I think I can't dislike the Late Night Jamboree side of the house more than I do, they find a way to make me like them even less. Last night at about 11:48 PM BB time on cameras one and two we got to hear their puppy raising techniques. Neeley had a flip flop with Sir Cameron's name on it that she used to hit him with when he'd do something wrong. Neeley excused this saying, "I'm a black mama." Justin would tie anything his dog chewed up to the dog so he had to drag it around with him. Apparently the LNJ had all discussed this earlier at some point as none of it was news to them and they were all laughing about it and found it all funny.

And back to the recap. Yesterday was a quiet day. The POV was used by Morgan on Morgan, and Whitney was the replacement nominee, leaving Scott, Neeley (Sir Cameron's beater) and Whitney on the block. Most of the house assumes Scott will get America's vote to evict, including the Ball Smashers which had Morgan earlier deciding to vote to evict Scott, keeping her promise to Kryssie, which would have guaranteed Scott going home. A few minutes later though she changed her mind and decided to vote out Neeley and said she didn't come there to go along, but to play the game. The Ball Smashers all agreed that they'd feel really stupid if they voted out Scott and America voted out Neeley so they're now voting out Neeley and begging America to help. (Neeley got all 40 of my votes to evict.)

Morgan is expecting to take a lot of heat from Kryssie and the LNJ after the vote for breaking her word, but the Ball Smashers are ready for that. If Morgan starts to feel overwhelmed all she has to do is say the word "pineapple" and the Ball Smashers will unleash the Kracken. (Also known by her human name Shelby.) Shelby will then go on the offensive and deflect attention from Morgan and draw the fire her way. One gets the impression Shelby is hoping Morgan feels overwhelmed and says pineapple, just so Shelby can go into attack mode. In fact, I expect Shelby to go into attack mode regardless of Morgan saying pineapple. She's been reasonably quiet for a while now and you get the impression Shelby is a volcano just waiting to erupt.

Today will find the house killing time until the live eviction tonight with lots of nervousness. Danielle will sleep the day away despite endless warnings from BB. BB may need to escalate matters with Danielle. She's not following the rules in any way, shape or form. At the very least the threat of a penalty nom should be deployed. Even her allies are tired of her ignoring the rules nonstop. 

The Ball Smashers are still hoping they can swing Justin's vote their way. Shelby will be using her crying ability to work on Justin while the rest of the Ball Smashers will let him know that Danielle, Kryssie and Neeley want him gone soon as they're afraid he'll flip to the girls. They also know that Neeley is at the bottom of the LNJ totem pole and if worse comes to worse and she survives, they'll try to flip her by letting her know what they know of how her side feels about her. Hopefully Neeley goes home tonight so we can get another epic Kryssie meltdown. Maybe this time she'll really walk out, what with her totally crippled hands and the massive blood loss she experienced in that last comp.

We'll likely see a big swing in the house tonight based on the vote to evict. If America votes out Neeley then the Ball Smashers will head into tonight's HOH comp with a decided edge as all five of them will be playing against only Danielle, Jason, and Justin. The Ball Smashers went through the house last night updating their counts on things in the house and going over the earlier sayings a few more times. They're prepping for the HOH. They don't expect it to be a physical comp after the wall climb POV. (By the way, BB is ramping up the comps. I was expecting all the comps to be very simple, but BB has been scaling them up lately.) Should Scott be evicted then the Ball Smashers will have their four girls going against Jason, Justin, Neeley and Danielle. That could be a problem for them.

It'll be another late night tonight as we see how the viewers vote and how that changes the game. Right now Neeley seems to be leading in the polls, but the polls have been wrong before. These HOH comps that start at midnight are kind of brutal for us East Coast watchers and I'm hoping if BB holds another BBOTT they modify the schedule a bit to make our lives a bit easier. With any luck staying up late tonight will be worthwhile with Neeley getting the boot and the Ball Smashers reclaiming the HOH. By the way, Jason is moving up the target list for the Ball Smashers. They've now noticed the other side is pretty easy to get along with until Jason shows up. They may just try to flush Jason out in the very near future.

Big Brother Over The top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Tuesday 10/25/2016!!!

Yesterday saw Neeley go up as America's Nominee, Shelby and Justin got picked as the extra POV players, and the POV comp took place. The POV comp was a wall climbing comp where the house guests had to climb a wall and move across, opening up three questions that they then had to answer by selecting the right number and placing it under the question. Morgan went first and flew across the wall. She got two questions wrong, but fixed them and got a time of around 8:30. Neeley was up next and went significantly slower and lost. 

Kryssie then went and humiliated herself with tales of losing all the skin off her hands and blood everywhere. Multiple close-ups of her hands as she stood there whining showed little more than two little abrasions and no real blood. She stood around for most of the time after taking three penalties for falls and was disqualified. It was truly hilarious to watch BB punk her by showing close-ups of her hands. Kryssie has assured her fellow house guests that she would have won easily if she hadn't become injured. (She wouldn't have won no matter what.)

Shelby went next and did a respectable run. She lost some time with a wrong answer, but did well and finished with a time of over twelve minutes. Scott went next and got all of the answers right, but he more zig-zagged his way up and down the wall as he went across instead of going straight across and that slowed him down enough to end up a bit behind Morgan.

Finally it was time for Justin. Justin was by far the fastest traversing the wall. If he had a clue about the answers he likely would have been done in less than five minutes. He had no clue as to the answers though and was disqualified after going more than thirty minutes. That made Morgan the winner of the POV!

Now the plotting began. Alex and the Ball Smashers want Neeley out, but some of her group (Morgan and Shelby) wouldn't mind losing Scott. Alex mildly suggested Morgan using her POV on Scott, but Morgan flat out rejected it. The discussion then moved on to trying to convince Justin to vote out Neeley. Whitney was recruited for this mission. Scott decided to antagonize Daneille in the hope that doing so would make America more likely to vote out Neeley over him. Antagonizing Danielle is not hard for Scott, merely being in her presence pretty much does it. A shouting match erupted in the kitchen pretty quickly with Danielle getting irate.

Whitney then had a chat with Justin and got him on board with voting out Neeley. Justin then chatted with Jason and Kryssie and got turned back to voting out Scott. Justin will likely be flip flopping on who to vote out all week depending on who he last talks to. America's vote will likely be the deciding factor this week.

Morgan got a little frustrated with Alex and told her that if Morgan gets voted out that Morgan will tell everyone on her way out the door that they're sisters and not to trust Alex. She's afraid that Alex wants to take Scott to the final three instead of Morgan. (I'm thinking everyone in the house is now reserving a final three slot for Kryssie. The odds of her winning the vote with America isn't real high and she's not exactly a comp threat. Alex, Morgan and Kryssie as the final three would likely guarantee a win for the sisters.) 

Today we'll have the POV ceremony and Morgan will use the POV to save herself. Kryssie will then put up either Whitney or Shelby, likely Whitney the last I heard, to replace Morgan. Then tonight the America voting will start and tomorrow we'll flush either Scott or Neeley out of the house. My money is on Neeley going, but we'll have to see how America and Justin votes.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for 10/24/2016!!!

Yesterday was another quiet day in the old BB OTT house. The HOH camera made an appearance and lots of photos were taken. Then the house largely sat around waiting for the last half of the Safety Ceremony to take place. The girls and Justin played another round of  "What are the Odds?" before the ceremony and that resulted in Whitney having a Mike Tyson style face tattoo painted on her face, Shelby dressed like Harry Potter (minus the lightning bolt scar which BB made her erase due to trademark issues) hopping on a broom and running around the sofas as each box lit up, Alex had her hair in two high pigtails that she had to whirl with each box lighting, Justin had to shout out loud for each box lighting, Scott had his hair in a towel and zucchini slices covering his eyes as if he was at a spa (the zucchini slices were supposed to be cucumber slices but Justin mistook a zucchini for a cucumber) and Morgan had to dress like Scott with a pair of Scott's tightie-whities on over the shorts. Suffice to say the Safety Ceremonies aren't the somber, tense affairs BB really wants them to be with the girls having fun even though they knew two of them would be the nominees.

Kryssie ultimately ended up with Morgan and Scott as the nominees with Scott the clear target for eviction. The girls and Scott are hoping America nominates Neeley and the early polling looks like the votes are going that way by a good margin. (All 40 of mine went to Neeley.) The only one who might not vote out Neeley could be Morgan, but if she stays on the block she'll have no vote. Shelby, Alex and Whitney have no problem voting out Neeley. If Neeley is on the block there's a chance Justin could flip his vote to get out Neeley also. Even Jason might flip once he sees America nominates Neeley. It could be a bad week to be Neeley.

Danielle has this absurd belief that Shane is being held in sequester and will be returned to the house. (He isn't. He's free and posting on social media.) I'm pretty sure no one, not production, not America, not any of the other house guests, want Shane back in the house. Danielle is still convinced that she'll be back for an All Star season of BB and that she and Shane will be on The Amazing Race. (Not likely. Scott thinks it's more likely Cornbread would be on BB All Stars than Danielle and he's probably right.) 

Today's a very busy day in the house. The house will get up early, find out who America nominates (likely Neeley.) Then Kryssie will immediately pick the POV players. In a perfect world she'd pick Alex and Shelby so the Ball Smashers would have four of the six players and only Kryssie and Neeley as opponents. Then a bit later on they'll have the POV comp.

That POV comp looms large in the outcome for this week. If Neeley is America's nominee and a Ball Smasher wins POV then Neeley is likely gone. It won't be a huge loss as Neeley does next to nothing in the house other than complain. If Neeley comes down, then Scott is the likely goner by a unanimous vote this week. Even the Ball Smashers are starting to worry about keeping Scott around too much longer. He's a number for their side, but his closeness to Jason and Justin worries them a bit and he could be hard to get rid of later in the game. If Scott or Morgan comes down Kryssie plans to replace either one with Shelby. If Scott comes down, then Shelby becomes the target.

Jason's side of the house still thinks Shelby's a moron. They have no clue she's playing them. She almost got in trouble yesterday when Danielle was reciting the value of pi and got it wrong. Shelby then recited it out to something like twenty digits before catching herself. She quickly said that she had a pencil with the value of pi on it in school and memorized it then. She knows now that they didn't catch on though as she's learned they named one of the fish after her because it's stupid like Shelby. 

Justin seems to be sliding more and more towards the Ball Smasher side of the house. He's got the best social game in the house. Morgan and Whitney aren't far behind him in terms of their social games. Kryssie, Jason, Neeley, and Danielle have essentially no social game at all. They're tight among themselves, but despise everyone else and make little effort to hide it.

By the end of the day we'll have a really good feel for how things will play out between now and Wednesday. This is the crucial day of the week with the naming of America's Nominee and the playing of the POV comp.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for 10/23/2016!!!

The cracks in the Late Night Jamboree side of the house are growing. Kryssie informed Jason yesterday that Danielle and Neeley both are talking of getting rid of Jason and Justin which has Kryssie concerned as they're her final three partners. How Kryssie thinks she has any shot at winning against those two is a mystery to us all, but that's who she thinks is the ideal final three for her. Sure, she can beat two of the more popular players in the game with no trouble. Let's just peek in at the Jokers house guest popularity poll and see where they stand. Let's see now, there's Justin and Jason at five and six and Kryssie, well, I guess she's down there someplace below Monte and Cornbread. Kryssie would stand a much better chance against Neeley and Danielle, her former final three, but Neeley's spat with her the other day has broken whatever bond those two had.

Jason informed Justin of Danielle and Neeley wanting them out and Justin now wants to save Scott to use Scott to get rid of Danielle and Neeley but Jason still wants Scott to go this week. (If America nominates Neeley there's a strong likelihood that Justin votes out Neeley no matter what.) Justin's playing his own unique game in the house and seems to have little true loyalty but has been moving more and more towards the Alex, Scott, Whitney,Shelby, Morgan side. Morgan seems to most trusted of the girls by pretty much everyone. 

The Have Nots yesterday were Jason, Neeley and Scott. Scott's taking it well. Jason and Neeeley ending up as Have Nots has rattled their alliance a bit. Both are already grumpier than normal and they haven't even been on slop 24 hours yet. Justin, being Justin celebrated wildly when he learned he wasn't on slop. His time is coming though. As the number of house guests decreases each week and those coming off slop can't be on slop again immediately, Justin will ultimately end up on slop.

The girls engaged in another game of "what are the odds" where Scott ending up having to wear Morgan's flag bikini top. (Originally has was to wear a pair of her shoes, but his feet were too big, so they compromised on the bikini top.) Neeley came down and wanted to join the game and ended up having to get down on all fours and twerk each time a safety nom came down. Jason felt the game wasn't risque enough and should have been bawdier and included nudity.

Kryssie then made safe Neeley, Danielle and Justin, saving Jason for tonight. It looks like Kryssie will keep Morgan safe, so that leaves Scott, Shelby and Whitney as likely targets. Shelby kind of wants to be nominated so she'll be guaranteed to play in the POV and can't be backdoored. She's ramped up her antics a bit to be sure to get Kryssie's attention and it's worked pretty well. Much of the LNJ now wants her out. It's likely Shelby will be one of the noms tonight. Kryssie may save Scott for America to nominate, not knowing that Neeley is more likely going up. (I'll be staying up until eleven tonight to be sure to get all forty votes against Neeley, the twenty before midnight and twenty more tomorrow.)

The HOH camera will appear today and if things go as planned, Kryssie will hoard it and only use it for photos of her "friends" and not the house. In other words, don't expect to see many photos of Alex, Shelby, Scott or Whitney. Morgan may get slipped in a time or two as she's somewhat acceptable these days to Kryssie. If the other side gets any photos taken, Kryssie plans to delete them before returning the camera to the DR.

It should be a pretty quiet day today as the house sits around and waits for the last part of the Safety Ceremony. Then the voting will open for America's Nominee, and God willing, Neeley will end up nominated for eviction. That should produce some interesting reactions. This could end up being a fun week.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Saturday 10/22/2016

Yesterday found the house anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Care Package. Kryssie wanted to see who got it as a sign from America on who she should nominate between Alex and Scott, her two biggest targets. The Care Package descended and Alex was the winner! Kryssie and her side of the house reacted with their typical frowns and disdain. As soon as the event was over Jason, Neeley and Danielle raced upstairs to the HOH room to formulate a new plan with Alex now being safe. Kryssie wandered in a few minutes later and was immediately told that now she had to do this instead of what they'd been planning to do.

Kryssie did not respond well to being told what to do and got a bit snippy with her allies which annoyed Neeley who stormed off to the back yard where she sat on the couch out there and stewed. Kryssie felt that her HOH was being hijacked and she was not happy about it. Jason and Danielle worked to patch things up. Meanwhile Alex got her maid's outfit and was set on her first few tasks, complimenting Kryssie, taking Kryssie some fruit, fixing Kryssie a glass of water with a slice of lemon in it, etc. (A butler sounding voice gives Alex her orders over the speakers.) Later on Alex had to bake a cake for Kryssie.

With Alex safe, the attention of both sides of the house turned to who goes up as the nominees. Kryssie wants to wait to make a final decision until she sees who America nominates as Have Nots. (My 40 votes went to Jason, Justin and Neeley.) Kryssie now wants to get out Scott or Shelby with Scott as the primary target. Alex, Morgan, and Whitney have largely agreed that if one of their side goes up, they'd prefer to lose Scott or Shelby if need be. They're hoping America nominates someone from the other side though so they can keep everyone. Whitney and Morgan went to Kryssie and offered to keep her safe next week if she looked out for them and focused on Scott and Shelby and that was more or less agreed to, pending the outcome of the Have Not vote. Scott's okay with sacrificing his game to keep the girls in.

Kryssie eventually got around to patching things up with Neeley after an earlier failed attempt where Kryssie's attempts at reconciliation involved her telling Neeley how wrong Neeley was and how much it hurt Kryssie. (I'm pretty sure Kryssie and Danielle both think the show is centered around them.) Kryssie and Neeley ultimately hugged it out and seem okay, but there's some deep mistrust on that side of the house now. 

Justin has told Whitney that Danielle and Neeley have to go soon as he doesn't trust them. Neeley has a witch's hat that's got Justin seriously spooked. He stole it and hid it earlier, but Neeley found it with the help of the girls and then hid it from Justin. Justin's very spooked by the hat and considers it voodoo and wants it gone! If Neeley ends up on the block as America's Nominee, Justin may just vote Neeley and the hat both out.

Today will see the Have Nots announced. Neeley seems to be leading in the polling so far with Jason, Morgan, and Scott in a three way race for the last two slots. It looks like Justin may escape being a Have Not, but you never know. Tonight Kryssie will make half the house safe in the Safety Ceremony. There will be no suspense as she's already told everyone her allies (Jason, Justin, Danielle, Neeley) will all be the first ones made safe. Tonight's ceremony therefore will largely be for show. Fortunately they've shortened it to a five minute ceremony from the original half hour.

We'll find out tomorrow who she ultimately nominates, but Scott and Shelby would be a god bet. Her original plan to put up two pawns (Morgan and Whitney) and backdoor Alex might be gone, but who knows where Kryssie is concerned. She puts her own unique spin on things. When/if she sees Neeley put up as a Have Not and possibly America's Nominee she will likely take it as a sign that America loves Kryssie and is siding with her in her spat with Neeley and this is how they're punishing Neeley for going against their beloved Kryssie. 

The live DR's took place last night and pretty much all we learned is that Danielle is everyone's least favorite house guest. She's safe this week anyway, but expect a big bulls-eye on Danielle in the near future. With the news that there will be a final three instead of a final two, the house will have to jettison Jason and Justin pretty soon. No one should want to be against one of those two in the final three. It's pretty much a guaranteed loss if you are. Kryssie seems to be the only one thinking she could beat them. Kryssie's confidence/ego knows no limits. 

The Have Not reveal today may raise the tensions on the Late Night Jamboree side of the house a bit more. Neeley won't be happy being a Have Not. Kryssie will likely try to explain to Neeley that that's what happens when you cross the HOH. That won't make Neeley any happier. Those two, who had been besties, are heading for a big showdown at some point in the near future. We could be getting some pretty impressive feeds this week if things play out right.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for 10/21/2016!!!

Yesterday was a fairly quiet day in the old BB OTT house. The early part of the day was spent lounging around and waiting for the live chat with Julie. BB gave the house guests purple clothes to wear in honor of Spirit Day and the new clothes helped to lift the spirits of the house. 

Kryssie and the rest of the LNJ tried to figure out who on the girls' side is the evil mastermind. They narrowed the field to Scott and Alex. After initially thinking Alex, they more or less decided it was Scott. Jason has gotten the attention of Danielle (who's actually a pretty good instinctive player on the rare occasions everything isn't about her) who thinks he and Justin are trying to divert the attention from Alex in the hopes of hooking up with Alex later in the game to pick off the rest of the LNJ. Kryssie, Neeley and Danielle may now be looking to remove Jason a bit sooner than they'd originally planned, but not immediately.

Scott is ready to throw himself on the sword to save Alex this week. He spoke to the live feed watchers yesterday and admitted making a terrible mistake week one in voting out Cornbread. Had he followed the wishes of the girls they'd have gotten out Danielle and had the numbers to control the game. Scott had thought then that Shane was his most loyal partner though and had followed Shane and that one move had endangered the game for the rest of his allies and led to Monte being voted out and Alex in danger this week. He hopes that his leaving will buy Alex and the girls more time in the house as they deserve to be there. With a bit of luck none of the girls or Scott need go this week.

Julie's chat went well and everyone had fun. It's kind of neat to see Julie off the script on these chats and reacting/responding to the house guests. Julie informed the house guests that there would be three finalists for America to vote on as the winner this year. With ten house guests still in the house, that means only seven more need leave. With only seven opportunities to take out people you know/suspect would win over anyone else (Jason/Justin) those two likely moved way up on the kill lists. Presumed lesser players like Shelby will likely skate through for a while now as the house focuses on taking out the big fish. Dull witted players like Kryssie who think they're able to win over anyone won't care, but the more strategic players (Ball Smashers, Danielle, Scott) will all be looking at moving a bit more quickly to get those guys out. No sane player should want to be up against either of those two in the final three which means they've both got to go sometime in the next seven evictions. If you wait too late, you hand them the big check.

Kryssie had a series of conversations with the the girls but she had Justin hiding in the bathtub during the conversations to eavesdrop. The girls soon figured that out and when Whitney's interview with her holiness ended she shouted out "Bye Justin!" as she was leaving showing that the girls weren't idiots. Kryssie is convinced America gave her a Care Package to help her side of the house and they gave one to Scott because he's a moron who wouldn't know what to do with it. (Okay, sure.) Kryssie thinks her side of the house is like a family and it tears them apart to lose someone while the other side is just a bunch of people who couldn't care less about one another. She thinks America sees that the LNJ is a big family and loves them for it. 

In a related note, Operation Konfound, Konfuse, Konsternate, Kounter Kryssie which has the immediate goal of defusing Kryssie's HOH by giving the Care Package to Alex and ultimately getting Neeley evicted seems to be moving in the right direction. (I've given Alex all 40 of my votes.) The online polls all pretty much point to Alex being the clear winner. Step two will be the Have Not picks, but they're not as vital as the America's Nominee. We need Neeley as America's Nominee to really pull this off. Then it will be up to the Ball Smashers plus Scott to pull out the POV win to finalize the deal.

Justin wants Neeley and Danielle gone soon. I'm pretty sure he'd happily get rid of them over the Ball Smashers that he now refers to as "my girls." He and Jason talked about that and Jason said it was too soon to talk like that, but I get the vibe Jason is losing interest in the Kryssie, Neeley, Danielle side of his alliance. Those three (Kryssie, Neeley, Danielle) are pretty solid and will be hard for Jason to get rid of if he keeps them together too long. He really wanted Danielle gone over Shane to help break them up last week, but Scott took out Shane instead. It'll be interesting to see if Jason sticks his neck out to save Scott this week. Justin is still tight with Kryssie and that has to trouble Jason a bit also.

Shelby's figured out that Scott and Alex made a deal with Jason/Justin for safety but seems okay with it for now. She may use that for ammunition down the road however to save her own game if it becomes necessary. The Have Nots will end at midnight tonight and Alex, Shelby and Danielle will be very happy about that. Jason is still hiding the Krackel bars, but once again was seen smuggling the bags of candy to the London Bedroom, so if the Krackel war resumes, the girls know where to look for the Krackel bars. With Shelby a Have Not the interest in finding the Krackel bars has died down a bit.

The Care Package voting ends at one o'clock ET today and the Care Package will be delivered at 4:00 PM ET today. Indications are that Alex will win it, but if you haven't voted, vote early and vote often. An Alex win would send a message to Kryssie and the rest of the LNJ, and might hasten the fractures that are developing on that side of the house. The arrival of the Care Package will likely lead to some interesting discussions in the house.

Just a commentary here. It's going to be brutal to go back to the long blackouts and endless fish/Jeff we get in the summer BB after this season. Seeing everything live has been great. Having a real schedule with events taking place at specific times has been great. Seeing everything from day one has been great. It would be amazing if CBS opted to adopt these same practices with the numbered BB in the summer.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Thursday 10/20/2016!!!

Yesterday saw the house largely just lying around killing time waiting for the live eviction. At the live eviction the tie vote went down (as planned by both sides) and Scott broke the tie, evicting Shane. Then the house gathered for the HOH ceremony and heard the doorbell ring and Paul with Pablo entered the house. The house was incredibly tense before Paul came in as Kryssie was furious that someone from her side of the house was voted out. "He's a person!" she yelled at Scott. (Apparently Monte and Cornbread weren't.) Scott's pillows then got rubbed in Neeley's (I think though possibly Kryssie's) armpits again. It's their unique and "classy" way of signalling their displeasure with the other side of the house.

The HOH comp was a ball rolling comp where they had to collect tokens they could then trade for balls to roll down the twisted plank they used in BB 18 and have the ball fall into the box at the end. Multiple house guests took shots with Morgan and Justin both rolling balls down the ramp a tick too fast that rolled over the box instead of falling into it. Kryssie then took some shots and rolled a ball into the box and won HOH. She celebrated wildly and was congratulated by everyone. (This morning while I type this she tells how grossed out she was by having Alex hug her and congratulate her. I guess the way Kryssie and the rest of the LNJ shunned Scott after he won is the "classy" way to handle a win by an opponent rather than congratulating them and hugging them.)

Kryssie is rapidly developing the world's worst case of HOH-itis. So the intense trash talking resumed by the LNJ as the girls mulled their fate downstairs with their typical good humor. Alex pretty much knows she needs to win POV to have a shot. (In fact the early online reports seem to indicate Alex as the favorite for this week's Care Package, which will make her safe. Then Neeley, Jason and Justin as the Have Nots, and Neeley as America's Nominee. There's a certain amount of love for the idea of having Neeley leave under Kryssie's HOH just as Cornbread and Monte were forced out under an ally's HOH.) 

Kryssie's current view is to nominate Morgan and Whitney with the plan to backdoor Alex. She wants America to put up Scott. America seems to have other plans and the more we hear Kryssie belch and gloat, the more likely it is this HOH will backfire on Kryssie in a big way. Kryssie, Jason, Neeley and Danielle have no respect for the other side of the house and considers Alex the only player on the other side. They think the girls just hang out together since they're all so boring and dull. (They have no idea how strategic the girls are.) The LNJ is the most hate filled group we've had on BB for quite some time. The four girls are solid and are planning to lose Scott if they have a choice in who goes this week over one of the girls.

Let's look at the vote count this week if things play out as expected. With Whitney and Morgan on the block against Neeley as America's nominee (assuming the POV isn't used, but it likely would be if won by anyone other than Alex, or Scott) Then the girls side would have Alex, Shelby and Scott voting. With Neeley on the block and Kryssie as HOH the LNJ would have Danielle, Justin and Jason voting. America would own the tie breaker assuming the votes split along house lines. If things play out as anticipated, America would likely vote out Neeley (deservedly so) and the heads of the LNJ would likely explode. That could be fun to watch.

Starting at one o'clock ET today the voting for America's Care Package opens. We'll learn tomorrow if America follows through on the save Alex part of the plan. Then after that we get the Have Not voting going. I doubt that Jason, Justin and Neeley will be the Have Nots, but I expect Neeley anyway to be a Have Not. She's not especially popular. Then will come the voting for America's Nominee and I could also see that going Neeley's way. This is another week where the POV largely controls what happens. This is a seriously divided house right now. Shelby seems safe this week as the LNJ consider her an idiot. (They have no clue she's a 24 year old law school graduate playing dumb.) Alex seems most at risk followed by Scott. They think Alex is controlling Scott though and he's her puppet. They're scared to death of Alex. 

If things play out right (and they probably won't as a lot of stuff has to go right) Kryssie could see her best friend in the game (Neeley) going home on her HOH. Her meltdown over that next Wednesday could be one of the most epic meltdowns in the history of BB. She'll no doubt consult the rule book and decide America was trying to force her to quit so America should be removed from the game. It's going to be a interesting week to see how the game turns. Kryssie, Neeeley, Danielle, and even Jason are rapidly becoming some of the most hated BB players ever, and they think they're beloved. Reality may just jump up and bite them this week.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Wednesday 10/19/2016!!!

Yesterday saw the POV ceremony take place where Justin used his POV to save Kryssie and Shane took her place. Alex pocketed her POV. With Danielle, Shane and Neeley on the block, lots of scheming then took place. Danielle decided she wanted a tie vote and for Scott to have to break the tie thinking that would get more blood on his hands and hurt his game. That's also exactly what Scott wants, so we're likely to see a tie or a near tie depending on how America votes.

Alliance shuffling continues. Alex and Scott confirmed their new alliance with Jason and Justin. I think all four have largely given up on including Neeley as she's intently focused on winning HOH and putting up Alex and getting Alex out of the house. Scott also wants to keep Shelby safe saying that Shelby and Alex are his ideal final three. The Ball Smashers alliance (Alex, Morgan, Shelby, Whitney at the core with Scott nearby and even Justin somewhat involved) is still solid. Alex and Scott have done a clever job of getting themselves safe this week by allying with everyone but Kryssie, Neeley and Danielle. 

Morgan is promising to unleash the real Morgan in the HOH comp tomorrow night. She's been throwing comps to this point and no longer plans to throw the next HOH comp. The happy cheerleader Morgan we've been seeing in the house is apparently a facade that Morgan's put up to get through the game and the "real" Morgan is a bit more intense. The house seems pretty set on targeting Danielle this coming week, except for Kryssie and Neeley. Kryssie, Neeley and Danielle want Alex and Scott up. If Jason or Justin win HOH they'll be in a tough spot protecting Scott and Alex. Shelby and Whitney will likely be their targets.

It should be a fun night tonight as Shane gets shown the door and the new HOH comp takes place. Expect lots of  fighting for this HOH as much of the house really wants the HOH. Morgan, Shelby, Whitney and a handicapped Alex will all be playing hard to win. Jason and Justin probably would prefer not to win. Neeley will be ready to kill to win. Kryssie will be Kryssie. Danielle will be playing hard to win. A Shelby win (improbable but not impossible) could be most interesting. Shelby might just put up Jason and Justin to get one of the big two in the house out. It'll be another long night with the HOH comp starting at midnight. It should be a good one though.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Tuesday 10/18/2016!!!

Well, that was a fun day. Yesterday saw the house awakened early to prepare for the the America's Nominee announcement and the picking of the POV players. Everyone gathered in the living room and watched as the faces flashed on the screen. Then finally the image froze on Danielle and she was America's Nominee. Jason's side of the house looked stunned, (especially Danielle and Neeley) and then the POV players were picked and Alex and Justin were the picks. The two sides then retreated to their turf, upstairs in the HOH room for the girls and Scott, and to the London bedroom for the Late Night Jamboree.

Danielle lay crying in the London bedroom while Neeley paced the floor cursing. Justin looked shocked and Kryssie just stared ahead in disbelief. They never seriously considered the possibility that one of them could be America's Nominee. That kind of derailed their momentum a bit, 

Meanwhile upstairs, a wild celebration broke out among Scott's group as they finally had a chance to get someone from the other side out. It took three HOH's, but finally they could get a victory. Some quick head counting of the photos on the board in Scott's room showed that no matter what, someone on the other side of the house would be leaving. Scott really wants Shane out so to make that happen they need to have someone other than Danielle win the POV and use it. 

Soon it was time for the POV comp. Scott announced the POV would be the double POV where there would be two winners. It was a puzzle comp where two players would go head to head against one another. Jason's side decided to get out Alex and Scott as quickly as possible then play head to head for the POV's to take down two of their players and hopefully talk Scott into putting up Shelby as the replacement. In the first round Kryssie went first and chose to compete against Alex. This turned out to be a very bad choice as Alex flew through the puzzle and won easily. Kryssie was eliminated. Danielle then picked Scott. This was a good choice by Danielle as Scott was horrible and Danielle won easily. Neeley was up next and she chose Alex again and once again Alex flew past her and won easily.

We were now down to our final three and with two POV's in play whoever lost the next round would be eliminated.Danielle was dancing and celebrating knowing that with Justin picking the next player she'd be safe as he'd pick Alex. Then Justin picked Danielle. This surprised Danielle the teensiest bit. As she took her spot opposite Justin you could feel the rage coming from her. She then assumed Justin must be planning to throw the POV to her, but that would give Alex a POV and it made no sense to Danielle. So the final round starts with Justin against Danielle and Justin flies through the comp and races around to hit the buzzer beating Danielle and winning the second POV giving the POV's to Alex and Justin.

Danielle ran off the stage and crouched down in tears behind the sofa, sobbing hysterically as Shane tried to console her. The house was reopened and Danielle ran in and pushed the call light on the DR door several times but never gets it unlocked, so she then runs to the London bedroom and climbs under the covers sobbing hysterically. Jason, Scott and Shane meanwhile are having a quick smoke outside before rejoining the house. The girls head back upstairs to celebrate yet another win and Jason's crew tries to deal with Danielle.

Jason's side of the house pretty quickly decides they can live without Danielle and that she's more trouble than she's worth for them, so bye bye Danielle. Meanwhile upstairs another quick vote count ensures Scott that his side can vote out Shane no matter what and the girls confirm that they will. They then suggest to Scott that letting the house think they're voting out Danielle might be the best strategic move for them as that way Jason's side will vote to evict Danielle, but Shane will leave and Danielle will be isolated knowing her side of the house turned on her and voted her out. They think that will rattle Jason's side before the HOH comp. This is agreed to. So, the plan is to let Jason's side think they're voting out Danielle while they're really targeting Shane.

Danielle finally dried the tears enough to look up Justin and asked what the heck he was thinking. He explained that he wasn't thinking and just picked her to go up against. She explained that she'd have been safe if he picked Alex and he was like, "Oh yeah, I didn't even think of that." That didn't make her much happier.

Scot and Alex, concerned about their immediate safety since Scott can't play in the next HOH comp as an outgoing HOH and Alex will be handicapped as a result of her punishment in the last POV comp decided to make a deal for safety for this coming week where they team up with Jason, Justin and Neeley (the three biggest comp threats from the other side with Shane leaving this week and Danielle a bit distracted) for safety in a new alliance. Justin and Jason were fine with this, but they weren't sure Neeley would go along. (I suspect this is a one week only deal where Scott, Alex and their side weren't really targeting those three this coming week anyway, but needed some safety. I'm not sure either side will follow up on the deal, but it's a good tactical move on both sides.)

Today we'll have the POV ceremony where  Justin will use one of the POV's to save Kryssie and Scott will put up Shane as the replacement. Then Alex will pocket her POV and the ceremony will end leaving Shane, Danielle and Neeley as the nominees for eviction this week. Scott and Alex through their maneuvering will likely be safe if anyone from their side wins HOH, or if Jason, Justin, or Neeley and even likely Danielle wins HOH from the other side. Their only real risk is a Kryssie win and that's unlikely. Even if Kryssie won, she'd likely consult Jason and Justin as to what to do and they'd likely protect Scott and Alex. Neeley is still an issue for Scott and Alex as she vowed to put up everyone on the other side of the house and get them out if she won HOH after finding out America's Nominee, but it's hard to nominate five people when you can only nominate two.

With the help of America's Care Package and America's Nominee, Shane will now be leaving. He's not happy about this as he doesn't want to leave at the hands of Scott. Had Shane stayed true to his original alliance he'd be safe, but backstabbing two of your own alliance in the first two weeks tends to make you expendable. With Shane gone the next HOH comp will come down to a handicapped Alex, Shelby, Morgan, and Whitney competing against Kryssie, Neeley, Jason, Justin, and Danielle. Assuming the handicap is serious, then it's largely Shelby, Morgan and Whitney against the rest. That's a pretty strong trio for both physical and mental comps, but they're outnumbered and the other side now has to play and can't count on America giving them the game. This next HOH will be huge. A win by Alex's side could really help them a ton with both Alex and Scott then able to compete again the following week. I'm pretty sure we'll see Shelby playing hard this week. She knows she's a big target for the other side and she likely wants to take out a big target or two. A Shelby win could see Jason and Justin as the nominees. She tentatively felt out the idea of backdooring Jason this week, but Scott immediately shut it down.

So later today we'll have the POV ceremony where Justin will likely take down Kryssie. Scott will then put up Shane. The only way things could backfire would be if Alex has to use her POV first and she pockets it, then Justin also pockets his leaving Shane off the block and Danielle, Kryssie and Neeley as the nominees. Neeley might then become the target for eviction this week over Danielle since Jason and Justin told Scott how they don't know if they can control Neeley. They might let the house think Danielle's the target, but vote out Neeley, or they could just go ahead and vote out Danielle. I'm pretty sure Kryssie would not be happy with Justin pocketing the veto after promising to use it on her. No mater what though, someone from Jason's side of the house is leaving this week. Most likely Shane.

Paul the runner up of BB 18 will be hosting the HOH comp on Wednesday night. That could be interesting. Paul's not the most stable of hosts possible, so we'll have to see how that works out. I suspect he'll have Pablo in tow. Alex and Scott will likely be thrilled by this and could finally learn who won BB 18.

Yesterday saw the house stay relatively calm as everyone waited for the second safety ceremony. The Krackel war didn't resume and everyone was mostly chill through the day. The HOH camera made another appearance and more photos were taken. Danielle vowed when she wins HOH she'll only take photos of her side of the house and not anyone else. Scott spent a lot of time rehearsing his speech while Alex and Shelby experimented with slop creations. Justin continued to float between the two sides and got himself in a little trouble when he told Shelby she'd have been one of his nominees if he'd won the first HOH. I'm pretty sure that's moved him well up the hit list for Shelby. She'd been pretty sure she and Justin were pretty good with one another. (The rest of Jason's side refers to Shelby as the wounded gazelle they want to take down.)

Finally it was time for the safety ceremony. Jason's side of the house didn't mingle for part one of the safety ceremony after doing so for each of the two previous weeks of the safety ceremony, so the girls went outside to be on the couches with them for part two of the ceremony. At the end of the safety ceremony, Kryssie and Neeley were the nominees. Neither one took it well despite knowing that's exactly what the outcome would be and why. (Scott had told Jason and Jason had relayed the word to the rest of his crew.) Scott then came down and explained his reasoning to the house and the two sides then split up and went about their business. Jason's side launched into several tirades about how the girls only came out to see their faces and watch them get put up. Neeley was mad that she was being made a pawn. Kryssie was sure Scott broke the rules and wanted him tossed from the game.

Kryssie then went into the store room and pulled out the rule book to read the rules and became even more convinced she was right. Scott had said that Kryssie wasn't good in certain social situations (the pool photo shoot is what he was referring to) but Kryssie interpreted it as being in relation to her behavior after someone dared to touched her soiled underwear bag. She claims she was ready to quit the game after someone moved her bag of undies. She apparently believes Scott was attempting to encourage her to quit the game and that's against the rules, so Scott should be punished severely. The DR didn't agree which made Kryssie even angrier. 

Jason's side of the house is more than a little tired of Danielle and wouldn't really mind losing her at this point, but want to use the showmance as a meat shield to go further in the game. They think Alex and Scott are in an alliance but they don't think the other girls (Whitney, Shelby, Morgan) are allied with anyone and are floating. They think Alex is the brains of the Scott/Alex alliance. Scott thinks he can pull in Jason and Justin to his side and thinks Kryssie is at the bottom of the other side's alliance. (Justin by the way is trying to stay in the middle and let each of the sides kill each other while he stays safe.) After several more hours of calling the other side of the house every name imaginable, Jason's side went to bed to get ready for today's revealing of America's Nominee and the picking of the POV players followed by the POV comp.

The early polling looks pretty positive for Danielle being America's Nominee, but the polls were wrong on Kryssie being a Have Not, so you can't trust them too much. (Kryssie's meltdown when she's a Have Not will be glorious to behold. She's not the most mentally stable person to begin with, so her being a Have Not should be a lot of fun.) The voting ends at noon today (ET) and then at/around one (ET) today the reveal of America's Nominee will take place followed immediately by the picking of the POV players. I anticipate Scott picking Alex and maybe Morgan as the players, assuming he's got the dexterity to feel their names on the chips. Then at four (ET) the POV comp will take place. Sometime before the POV comp Scott will have to declare which POV they're playing for. It won't be the Diamond POV which would give whoever won it the power to name a replacement. It's currently planned to be the Double POV which lets two people win POV. Scott made that call assuming one of his side would be the America's Nominee. When he sees that Danielle (hopefully) is the nominee, he may change that plan to the Boomerang POV where there's just one winner but they get to use the POV twice. That would keep Scott's side absolutely safe if Danielle is America's Nominee.

If Danielle is America's Nominee it'll be interesting to see how her side of the house handles that bit of news. With only two POV's possibly in play and three of Jason's side on the block and Jason, Justin and Shane as possible replacements, it'll be an uneasy afternoon for them. Scott's side is anticipating one of them being on the block and they're mentally prepared for it having gone through it the first two weeks. Jason has been telling everyone he's the glue that hold his side of the house together and if things break right (Double POV in play) with Shane and Danielle winning POV, we would see Jason and Justin going up as the replacements. I doubt that they'd muster the votes to evict Jason, but who knows. The worst case scenario for Scott if he chooses the Double POV would be if two of Jason's side that weren't nominated (say Shane and Jason) won the POV's forcing Scott to put up Justin and someone from his side. The Boomerang POV would prevent that possibility though as only one person could win it and even if Shane won it and used it on Danielle and Kryssie, Scott would still have Justin and Jason as possible replacements. 

Monday's are an active day in the old BB OTT house and today could be especially interesting to watch. We could finally see one of Jason's side as the only option to leave the house on Wednesday. How his side handles that will be interesting to observe.

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Sunday 10/16/2016!!!

And the battle between good and evil continues. I can honestly say the evil side of the house (Jason, Kryssie, Danielle, Shane, Neeley) is as bad as any group of house guests we've ever had. They're behaving worst than Chima, Lydia, Natalie, Jessie, Ronnie in BB eleven. They're the most entitled, least self-aware group of house guests I've ever seen.

Yesterday saw the Have Nots announced and despite leading in every poll I saw, Kryssie managed to avoid being a Have Not. The Have Nots ended up being Danielle, Alex and Shelby. You'd think this would be a wake up call to Danielle and her side of the house that maybe, just maybe America was tiring of them, but no. Jason explained that America only put Danielle up because it was Whitney's birthday and they didn't want her to be a Have Not on her birthday.

The girls' side of the house resumed the hunt for the Krackels yesterday with lots of good humor, searching high and low. Along they way one of them touched Kryssie's bag of soiled underwear, which apparently is sacred to Kryssie, and she became so upset by this invasion of her privacy that she claims to have almost quit over it. It pays to remember that less than 24 hours earlier Jason, and his side of the house went through all of the girls' drawers looking for the Krackels and then rubbed their armpits on the girls' pillows and on Shelby's jacket that Shane then tried on to stretch out. Kryssie thought that was all hilarious. Touching her bag of soiled underwear however is disgraceful.

The girls decided that they'd then hide something the other side of the house loves, their Coke. They found a hiding place under the bathroom sink and stashed the two liter bottle there. This had Shane and Justin looking all through the house for the Coke and more than a little confused over how the girls could hide a bottle of Coke that big. The girls kept offering to exchange the Coke for the Krackels but the other side refused. To the girls it was all good fun and they were having fun with it even with Justin who was laughing and having a good time about it. To Kryssie it was the worst thing since the dawn of time.

This was followed a bit later by the girls and Justin playing the "What are the odds" game where someone would ask a question like "What are the odds Alex would wear socks on her hands during the safety ceremony" and Alex would say "one in ten" and then they'd count "one, two, three" and have to answer with a number between one and ten. If they both said the same number then the person would have to do it. By the time the safety ceremony rolled around Alex had socks on her hands, Justin was wearing Morgan's American flag bikini top, Shelby had two talking pickles in her hands, Whitney had a mustache drawn on her face, and Morgan was wearing her tightest shorts with a strategically placed zucchini.

Jason's crew hid out in the London bedroom during the safety ceremony so they wouldn't have to be with the girls largely to protest the girls hiding the Coke and touching Kryssie's bag. Scott made Justin, Alex, Whitney and Jason safe.

Danielle, who had claimed the biggest trampoline in the Have Not room for her and Shane (who's not a Have Not but he's so whipped he'll sleep there anyway) then decided she wanted the better blankets too, so she took all the blankets from the Have Not room. When later confronted she claimed to only have taken them to wash them. (Yeah, right. That's not what she said earlier.) Shelby then retaliated by taking the bigger trampoline that Danielle had claimed.

Nothing much should happen today until the second half of the safety ceremony tonight where  if things play out as expected Neeley and Kryssie will be the nominees. Jason's side is appealing to America again to put up one of the girls' side of the house, but Danielle seems to be leading in the polls again. Monday America's Nominee will be announced (please let it be Danielle) and the picking of the POV players will take place. God willing Danielle will be one of the nominees and voted out. In a perfect world Kryssie would stay on the block with her just for the stress it would cause Kryssie. With the Double POV or Boomerang POV in play, there's a good chance either Scott or one of the girls will win. (Scott's a super fan so he should know to feel for the names of the house guests he wants to compete on the chips.) If we lose another of the girls' side of the house I'll be about to give up on the year. When one side has to win every comp to stay alive and the other side can just lie around and do nothing, the game is no fun. BB gave too much power to the fans this year and it's killing the season. 

Big Brother Over The Top Live Feed Spoilers and Updates for Saturday 10/15/2016!!!

Yesterday saw the arrival of the Care Package which drifted down and was caught by Morgan who read the tag and announced it was for Scott. Scott was pleased to hear this and after consideration decided the Care Package meant he needed to change his nominations. He had been planning to put up Shane and Danielle but since the Care Package meant that either he had to pick the Diamond Power of Veto where the winner could name the replacement, even of America's Nominee, or the Double, or Boomerang Veto which would allow two house guests to be saved, Scott decided he needed to put up Kryssie and Neeley as his initial nominees and then backdoor his real target (Shane.)

This is a pretty solid plan, but there's one flaw. Scott's planning to use the Double POV instead of the Boomerang POV. He doesn't know that America is planning to put up Danielle. He's anticipating America putting up someone from his side. He thinks there's a good chance someone on his side will win one of the two POV's so they can put up Shane and get him out. The risk is that two members of the Late Night Jamboree (say Shane and Jason) who aren't the nominees will win the POV's and take down Danielle and Neeley leaving just Justin and one of Scott's side as possible replacements. Chances are once he sees who the America Nominee is (in all likelihood Danielle) he'll rethink the strategy. The Boomerang POV lets the winner take down two people, but that would still give Scott two people in the Late Night Jamboree to go up as replacements. 

The Krackel wars escalated when Jason discovered the Krackels missing from under the sofa in the Yoga room when he was searching for an electrical outlet. He then rallied his side to find them and they searched the girls' clothing drawers to find them and then hid them under Shelby's bed assuming the girls won't look there. Jason and Shane in a sign of their maturity and decency then decided to rub their armpits on the girls' pillows and Jason also rubbed his armpits on one of the girl's jackets while Shane squeezed into it to stretch it out of shape. (They're just so classy. No wonder America loves them!)

In the recap show we got a DR from Neeley where she called Alex a heifer and insisted she wanted Alex gone for breaking her deal with Kryssie. Then the live DR's started where Jason told America to put up Shelby or Alex as the nominees and Alex, Shelby and Whitney as the Have Nots. (Polling indicates that Kryssie and Danielle are leading the way in the Have Not voting with Shelby then Jason not far behind. I'm hoping a late push for Jason gets him put in there with the other two.)

Shane then had a DR session where he called Scott a terrible player. (If there's anyone who knows terrible game play it's Scott. He was safe with two alliances then systematically voted out one of them.) His target list is Alex, Shelby and Scott. 

Kryssie then went into the live DR and reminded us all again how she should have just guessed 72 in the HOH comp since it's her favorite number and has such special significance in her life. (If you have the live feeds on for more than ten minutes since the HOH comp you've heard Kryssie say this again, and again and again.) She thinks her biggest threat in the game long term is Neeley. She's happy her Late Night Jamboree is playing such a clean game. (Most of us weren't aware that they were playing at all and don't necessarily consider smearing the other side with charges of racism, bigotry and homophobia playing a clean game, but whatever. The gulping down/hiding the Have Not add-in foods so they have to eat slop plain is also really a classy move on their part. Also the way Jason and Shane wiped their armpits all over the girls' pillows doesn't necessarily fall into the 'clean' category for most of us, but whatever.)

Justin was up next and is just Justin. He's happy Scott won HOH as Scott is cool with him and he's cool with Scott. I really get the vibe that Justin is moving away from the Late Night Jamboree side of the house.

Up next was the puppy killer, aka Danielle. She begged America not to be a Have Not (Ha! Ha! Ha!) and swore that she'd see to it that whoever America nominated went home this week. (She doesn't know that she's leading in all the polls for America's Nominee. Surprise! Truthfully she's probably already said and done enough stuff to ensure she goes home soon, if not this week.) 

After the live DR's the house guests were still on an inside lock down due to a seemingly never ending Bruce Springsteen concert nearby that they could overhear. They had a party to celebrate Whitney's birthday and the house got some beer and wine to celebrate. Whitney smoked one of Jason's cigarettes and got a bit sick, but seemed okay later. Morgan is finally off the slop and she's very happy about that. Finally the concert ended and they were let loose into the yard to discover they got a grill. The first return of the grill in several years. Expect lots of grilling over the next few days until they either blow it up (I forget who it was a few years ago who lit it with a big bang) or they lose interest in it.

Kryssie and Neeley were chatting about Danielle and oddly enough, neither one is all that thrilled with her as an ally any longer. They seem to feel that she only wants to talk about herself and is a bit spoiled and entitled. They're also very unhappy with Scott's plan to nominate them as pawns. Doesn't he know that America loves them and will hate him for putting up anyone from the Late Night Jamboree? The fool!

Today will see the voting end for the Have Nots. (Get your votes in for Jason, Kryssie, and Danielle before one o'clock ET.) Then later today the Have Nots will be announced. I'm hoping Shelby isn't a Have Not as putting her and Danielle together in the same room could be bad for Shelby. Shelby is somewhat puppy-like and we all know how Danielle treats puppies. Then later tonight the first Safety Ceremony will take place.

Pretty much everyone in the house is now looking forward to Monday. The Late Night Jamboree wants to see which of the girl's America nominates so they can target their smear campaign against her, while the girls' side wants to play in the POV and win it to lock in the nominations.

Scott's winning the Care Package sent a minimal shockwave through the LNJ side of the house, but they quickly adapted and assumed America was trying to punish Scott in some manner. They just know that America loves them and will now put up the three eligible girls as Have Nots and then put up Alex or Shelby as America's Nominee. Justin meanwhile is spending more and more time on the side of Scott and the girls. "I'll just be over here chillin with the girls while y'all commit suicide ovah thar." The Have Not reveal could be, should be fun today. Splitting Shane and Danielle may require a surgical team like that used to separate Siamese twins, but hopefully Shane isn't so whipped that he sleeps in the Have Not room with Danielle even though he isn't a Have Not. Things are starting to flip in the old BBOTT house and things are heating up.
