> [@EllisDee](#): > > Why would Aaryn want to “show some balls” by nominating Amanda? She would have nothing to gain and lots to lose. Did you want her to torpedo her legitimate (and strong) final four deal just to watch entertaining fights or did you mean it would be a good move for her? Um, because it would be a huge move, and show that she’s not willing to be pushed around. And I’d question just how big of a risk it would really be. Yeah, Amanda would spend the whole time bitching and bullying everyone around, but even if she did manage to escape getting kicked out, I doubt Aaryn would really have much to worry about. She’s proven quite adept at winning challenges, while Amanda, well, hasn’t won anything. Also it’s nice seeing Elissa finally standing up to Amanda. ---

Best line of the season so far: Amanda: I just feel like I’m back in high school. Spencer: Were you a megabitch in high school? ---

Finally, McCranda sits in the center of the target, oblivious to the extent of the momentum against them. Hopefully, they will lose the veto competition and spend a few days (?) knowing that they are soon to be separated. Will Amanda turn on McCray, will she meltdown, will she tear a hole in the wall and escape? This is going to be a great week. ---

That was priceless. And from what I’ve read here and there online, Amanda IRL is paying for all this the same way N’onka (was that her name?) did on Survivor. ---

I don’t know how many people have given up on BB this year so far, but if you have, it’s probably time you took another look. Judd’s return to the game, as it turns out, was a real game changer. So far, I’m betting Andy slides into the half million. I could live with that. ---

Andy, GinaMarie and Spencer in the final three. Of this group, I’d say Andy probably has the best chance of pulling out a victory, but he did burn quite a few people, so a lot of jurors may end up voting against him just out of spite. GinaMarie made some big moves there toward the end, namely getting out Amanda, and she seems to have a lot of friends in the jury house, so she has a pretty decent chance also. As for Spencer, the main reason he’s there is not because of his gameplay, but rather because each week he was on the block the house wanted someone else out just a little bit more. Overall, these three making it to the end is just a testament to how weak everyone’s gameplay was this season. ---

2 questions: 1)Did Spencer set the record for times nominated? (he had 9 lives) 2)What’s the opposite of a “sausage party”? (Until Judd went there, that’s what Jury House was) ---

I don’t think anyone else has even come close to the number of times spencer was nominated, although his comes with a giant asterisk because some of his were while there were three nominees. ---

From what I’ve seen on BB sites, the old record for being on the block was held by multiple people with 6 nominations. I lost count of Spencer at 8. So he definitely has the record. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/big-brother-2013-its-baaack/661373.md?page=4)
