Stuff she's done since winning HoH...

1: Get in good with Judd
2: Hatch a plan (Aaryan & McCrae Nominated with McCrae told that he's been nom'd so that he can win Veto against Aaryan... I think Amanda is the backdoor option)
3: Resist McCranda's relentless badgering
4: Made safety deals with Andy & Spencer

Plus it looks like as a result the Ginger Snitch (Andy) might actually be turning on his masters a bit.

Spoiler!

While I would rather see her put up Mccrae and Amanda, i think the problem is no one is going to vote out amanda for some un-bloody-known reason... As if she will come back into the house after being evicted and get her revenge. Im sure if Mccrae and Aaryn go up on the block and then win the veto, she will do the typical thing and put spencer up. While it isn't an awful decision to go after Aaryn, I still think Amanda is the bigger threat to her. As mentioned though, if the puppets won't vote to evict her, what difference does it make.

No, I think she would put Amanda up. I think she actually does want Aaryan to go because without Aaryan McCrae and Amanda have no power since they can't win #### on their own. I think Amanda is the fallback option.

Elissa revealed her plan to backdoor Amanda to Judd and Aaryn, who relayed it to GinaMarie. All seem on board but of course they have reason to tell Elissa what she wants to hear but it does seem legit. And Aaryn even picked Judd to compete for the POV with her houseguest choice.

Amanda, afraid of being on the block with McCrae, went to talk to Elissa. She put on the fake tears and threw everyone under the bus but Elissa is just laughing and telling Amanda she's making the craziest faces. She's reassuring Amanda but it's really insincere.

It's a bit risky strategy as an Amanda POV win gives safety to McCrae and herself but so far Elissa has had a reconciliation of sorts with Judd, a heart-to-heart with GinaMarie and strained the relationship of the 3 AM alliance. If it comes together it could be the best move all season.

Spoiler!

Amanda.I think Andy is going up as the replacement.

[Flabbibulin]

Good god, what is with Amanda and McCraes room?? What a bunch of slobs.

[Flabbibulin]

Pretty big spoiler-

Spoiler!

Gina marie, judd, spencer, and andy have clued in and formed an alliance to get rid of McCrae and Amanda. Elissa is left out mostly because she cant compete for HOH this week. It sounds legit though and Andy isn't playing both sides. Amanda has gotten in trouble from the production team for her abuse of Elissa.

[Machiavelli]

I see that Amanda is no longer getting a favorable edit. What a vile human being.

I would have trouble resisting the urge to punch most of the people in that house smack in the face.

[Flabbibulin]

They were stupid nominations to begin with. Should have been Mccrae and Amanda.

I think Elissa really hates Aaryn.

[Machiavelli]

Jeff and Jordan are just adorable.

[Machiavelli]

Heh, love the reaction to

Spoiler!

Aaryn being evicted and Julie bringing up the racist comments. The audience was awesome.

Watching Aaryn get flustered was amazing.

[d_phaneuf]

so that was the best post eviction interview in big brother history

[Flabbibulin]

I kind of felt sorry for her. That must have been rough.

I don't think she's a malicious evil racist, just ignorant and naive. But at the end of the day those were words she said that weren't taken out of context. Having to own up to something you said isn't exactly unfair treatment. Especially with the way she targeted Candice and made Howard pretty much crazy.

I just hope Amanda gets no better treatment, and preferably much worse, when she's booted.

Ginamarie.

[Pontine]

I'm glad that Julie didn't hold back and the crowd reaction was hilarious.

I almost felt sorry for her, but maybe she can learn from this experience. I didn't think I could dislike anyone more than Aaryn, but Amanda is such a horrible person that it made me forget about Aaryn for a bit.

[d_phaneuf]

I would have felt some sympathy if she didn't blame texas for it

she was making excuses, hopefully she learns from it, but she was unwilling to take any blame

I hope they give Amanda the same treatment

Nice. I hated her so much for a while and she's still very annoying but this is likely the best thing that could've happened. No doubt she puts up both Amanda and McCrae.

[Oling_Roachinen]

Yep, I definitely feel like that given the circumstances they gave her a fair treatment. Obviously CBS has been under pressure to confront the racism in the house, ultimately it was Aaryn's remarks that landed everyone in this position. They simply quoted back some things Aaryn had said and given a chance to explain. Instead she says she doesn't recall saying those things and that "in Texas..." trying to deflect blame instead of owning up and apologizing. She could have handled it much better.

Spoiler!

I think best case scenario is GinaMarie putting up Amanda and McCrae and McCrae winning veto. I'd love to see if Amanda's victim mentality and self-pity come out when McCrae uses the Veto on himself. Just as long as she's still sent packing.

Also Amanda has been bitching about the question Julie gave her as it's evident she was portrayed as a bully against Elissa instead of a champion of the little people. I can't believe people are so lacking of self-awareness

Illinois native Abraham Lincoln... Uh really? You'd think someone from Illinois would know Lincoln is actually a native of Kentucky and didn't move to Illinois until he was 21. What a complete moron. I know he was most commonly associated with what he did while in Illinois, but it still doesn't really apply to him being an native Illinoisan.
