Big Brother: Over The Top, Week 4 (10/19/2016 - 10/25/2016)

[DAngelus]

The only ones who are athletic enough to match Morgan's performance are Justin (throwing) and Shelby, who doesn't work out much.  I don't know if Scott can handle the wall.  I really doubt Neeley and Kryssie will be foul-free.

I would have wagered that Morgan's vote total got messed up due to her forgetting that America gets a vote, but no, she forgot Alex's hinky vote.  Gotta pay attention, sis.

[Lady Calypso]

I guess Morgan's lucky to have her designated room as the storage room. She gets to basically eat for the next two-three hours!

Neeley's up now. I'm going to relisten to the rules.

Heh, she forgot to read the rules aloud. 

So, they can only transport one tile at a time. And yes, a 3 minute time penalty for each time they fall.

Neeley can't drop and she needs to get it right on the first try. 

Also, Morgan's estimated time is 8:35. So Neeley needs to get under nine minutes. 

[DAngelus]

8:42 or 8:51, depending on who you believe in the chat rooms.  They have stop watches :)

Heck, there's a timer on the Flashback cam, just note the start and finish and do the math.

[Katesus7]

Neeley isn't going to come close. She's slow, and got the first answer wrong already.

[Lady Calypso]

Yeah, so congratulations, Neeley! You will most likely be evicted from the Big Brother House! And congrats to Kryssie, who gets to feel what Monte and Alex felt like during their HOHs!

She is definitely way too slow and she's clocking at about five minutes already. And she has to scale back and change Shane's answer. 

[Lady Calypso]

Ok, so best case scenario now is Scott winning and taking himself down, because when Shelby goes up, it's going to be guaranteed that Neeley will leave. Ball Smashers and hardcore Shelby fans will make sure of it, while Misfits fans will probably split the votes between Morgan and Shelby. 

ETA: Neeley dropped her board, not that it matters because she lost. She's not winning veto. She has to rely on Kryssie to get under nine minutes.

[DAngelus]

Actually, the easiest way to time this is just using the clock on my monitor screen.  Duh.

Kryssie won't win this one.  What will be interesting is seeing how Justin can deflect blame for not winning.  I mean, it's a Spider-Man comp!  Chef NoLa should win this in his sleep.  He'll probably claim he couldn't get the answers right, but we'll see if the LNJ believe that one.

I suppose he might actually win it by accident, holding back a little bit to make his throw "credible" and still managing the best score.  We'll see.

[Marie80]

This is hard to watch. It seems like she didn't know there were OTHER numbers behind the ones that you could see. I kinda feel bad for her.

[Lady Calypso]

Neeley has Shane's answer wrong again. She picked 1 instead of 2. She forgot about Jason being eliminated too.

She's dropped twice so she has a six minute penalty on top of her time. It's been over fifteen minutes so her max time is going to be up soon. 

Neeley finally picked the right answer and has locked in. Her estimated time is about 20 minutes+ 6 penalty minutes. Neeley had no idea that there were other numbers behind the ones set up front. That...actually kind of sucks, but she should have rummaged through. I mean, good for her for powering through. Really I do feel bad that this was a pure endurance comp that appeals to the Ball Smashers rather than Kryssie/Neeley. But hey, that's the game so my empathy only goes so far! 

[DAngelus]

I think the best way to do this one is to clip a random number to the cable right away and then go across and open all three questions.  You save at least two trips, and who knows, you might get lucky.  (As it happens, two of the correct numbers [9 and 13] are right there waiting to be grabbed.)

Neeley's time was roughly 20.20, with 6.00 worth of penalty time added on.  Byeeee.

[Lady Calypso]

Yeah, so Kryssie's up next. I might have to depart for dinner, so might miss her round live, but I'm more than happy to avoid the whining and complaining about how rigged this competition is against her, and how Neeley must have done well and how awful the Ball Smashers and their Virgin King are. And she'll mutter stuff about production while complaining about her feet being sore and how she'll probably fall and complain about that too.

I have no sympathy for complainers, so my sympathy for the competition not being in her favour at all will only go until her first complaint.

[DAngelus]

Oh, joy.  All four cams on the non-participants (Jason, Danielle, Alex, Whitney) in the HoH, so we get to hear Jason grouse about the HoH sheets are horrible because they're silk, not 800-thread cotton.  What's wrong with silk sheets (I think he means satin, anyhow), ffs?  Shut up, Jason.

Seriously, I'd rather watch Morgan silently eating in the store room.  Make it happen, Skippy.

ETA:  Kryssie is going third and the non-participants are saying she might be disadvantaged because she's being kept in the Have-Not room before the comp and it's both cold and lacking in comfortable places to sit.  Well, true, but I think the tiny hand/footholds are going to be more of a problem for her.

Whitney is talking about how she's against aquariums (aquaria?) because she's seen the shark tanks and all the scratches they have from the sharks trying to get out.  Aww.

Edited October 24, 2016 by DAngelus

[Lady Calypso]

Heh, Kryssie's stuck in the Have Not room for the comp. She gets the most uncomfortable room to be in. 

Danielle's napping and has probably gotten her 100th "NO NAPPING" announcement from BB this season. She's the worst when it comes to that announcement, followed by Jason. 

[Michel]

I just realized that we have a Jason and a Danielle in this house, both of whom are aligned.  BB3 had two houseguests of the same name, and that Danielle was also black like this one is.

But BB3's Danielle and Jason had ten times the charm and likability that this Danielle and Jason do.

[DAngelus]

Well, as I mentioned, we also had a Shane/Danielle showmance, as in S14, and that Shane also worked on houses, and that Danielle pretended to be a pre-school teacher, which this one actually is.

While we're waiting, let's play "Rank the Danielles", shall we?  We have Danielle Reyes (S3/S7), Daniele Donato (S8/S13), Danielle Murphree (S14) and the current Danielle Lickey.  Go!

[Lady Calypso]

Scott's doing some Thai Chi while he waits. He's also talking to himself, asking for Alex/Shelby to not pay for his mistakes, and to have them get far.

People on Twitter are already claiming that Morgan cheated by taking two tiles across instead of one. I rewound, and she actually didn't. People are just looking to call rigged for the sisters. 

Kryssie's turn has started! I figured that they'd start at an interval time (2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45).

Kryssie's already saying that she's afraid of heights. Ok, I feel you there, Kryssie. She's also complaining about her shoes.

That must be the fastest complaint from her during a comp.

So....she's going a lot faster than I thought, and she's opening all the questions, which is smart. But we'll see if she falls or not. 

[DAngelus]

Kryssie, after reading the intro card:

Quote

I'm afraid of heights.  This should be so exciting.

Kryssie, at the 0.12 mark:

Quote

Ooh, my shoes are so slippery.

Kryssie, at the 0.45 mark:

Quote

Fuck.

Always good to get those excuses in early.  She did have the sense to open all three questions on her first go, though.

2.28: She's got the wrong number of anti-Cornbread votes.  She gets the other two answers correct, though.

3.32:  She starts out with the incorrect "8" card attached.

Edited October 24, 2016 by DAngelus

[Katesus7]

She doesn't know the answers.  She actually did all right on the wall, but she's just burning through time right now, trying to figure out the answers.

[Lady Calypso]

And...my worries have disappeared. She wasted about a minute, standing and thinking about the answers. And she already has one answer wrong (Cornbread's; she's forgetting about America's vote), so we can all rest easy....as long as Justin actually throws this.

[DAngelus]

She's taken two time penalties already, and is complaining that her hands are bleeding.  Aw, baby.  (Not.)

8.38:  Wrong answer.  At least she properly ID's her mistake as being the Cornbread one, but she's practically tearful as it's the one farthest away.  She's got the correct "9" now, though.  At least she'll smoke Neeley.

9.45:  Drops again en route to Cornbread, and wants to forfeit on account of her bleeding hands.  And that's why you bring fingerless gloves, as Janelle did.

12.24 (and 9.00 in penalties):  Pulls herself together, starts new attempt.

13.10:  Falls a fourth time.  Insists she's done.

Quote

I know it's boring, but you're gonna have to watch me stand here until fucking 30 minutes is up…you might as well cut to the fish, guys.

Okay, then.

18.00:  Still complaining about her bleeding hands.

Nice mean comment from the chat on the site I'm using:

Quote

Good thing she's not going to the storage room to eat her feelings after this.

Heh.

Edited October 24, 2016 by DAngelus

[Marie80]

Kryssie has given up, waiting for time to max out. Quelle surprise. She's bleeding all over the place! We just can't see it.

[ByaNose]

Does Krissie think we care about her well being? But-bye!

[DAngelus]

There's no damn blood.  Her hands are red, that's all.   And she's supposedly a power lifter…where are her lifting gloves?

They literally did a close up of her hands and there was a small cut, barely bleeding. WHAT. A. BABY. Cut to them bitching later how it was rigged for the Ballsmashers. How do they have any fans left??

[ByaNose]

Is she waiting for time to run out or something?

[Michel]

Just now, ByaNose said:

Yep.  She said she was done a few minutes ago.

[DAngelus]

Another gem from the chat:

Quote

Get those hands caught in the zipper and maybe you can actually get some damn blood.

The only time a HoH has actually wanted to get "blood on my hands" and she's pretty much dry.  Heh.

[ByaNose]

Just now, Michel said:

Thanks. Must have missed during getting third degree burns during the comp. LOL!!!

[Lady Calypso]

She's literally standing there, giving up. Really?

And this is why she should be going home next week. She has no respect for the game. I cannot root for anyone to get far when they give up and have no respect for the game. I knew this the first time she complained about the sleeping schedule, but her just giving up at the comp? Nope, I'm not having it. I'm done with her. I'd rather Danielle wins over her whiny ass. I'd rather JASON wins than Kryssie.

She's definitely America's Nom and a Have Not next week, right?

She's gotta be top of the list I would think. She sucks! Of course, Jason won't understand it though. <eyes roll>

[Lady Calypso]

OH MY GOD. They just zoomed in to her hands and they're FINE. No blisters, just a little redness.

Fuck Kryssie. I'm honestly getting more enraged the more time she just stands there, looking at her hands.

And now her time's up. Finally.

She'll be all over Morgan's hand and inspecting them when this is done. LOL!!!

Kryssie threatening to self evict because they won't stop filming her Emmy performance. "Why don't you go film Scott clapping because I got hurt??" Hahahaha!

People are already saying this in the chat.  If I was paying for All Access, I'd be down with it.  

Amazing that Danielle is now getting a pass over her.  Perhaps she's realized that she does better when she's not talking, hence the excessive naps.

[Lady Calypso]

She put two bandages on her hands, whining to Big Brother about bleeding for thirty minutes. She told BB to fuck off, to not film her, and now she's asking herself why she's there.

I'm asking myself the same question. Yes, it sucks that this veto was against you and it was the most physical competition yet. But whining and complaining won't win points.

Now, Kryssie is bashing Scott. She's claiming that she'll walk out. DO IT. I'm done with your ass. 

I am...surprisingly more upset over Kryssie than I should be. 

[J.D.]

If I wasn't so already over Kryssie, I would definitely be by now.   She is the whiniest person ever.   I didn't cry as much as her when I got stabbed.   I wish she would self evict.   She's so irritating---!!!! 

[DAngelus]

Well, it sucks that it's not her comp and her buddy's going home.

But OTOH she got the worst possible Veto for her out of the way during a week when she's completely safe.  She'll never have to worry about this one again, which makes things infinitely better when she goes back on the block.  (Next week, I'm thinking.)

Goddamn quitter/cry baby.

[ByaNose]

Morgan looks very pretty after competing. Yes, I'm shallow that way. She has access to the food, too.

I wouldn't mind more comps that involve Morgan facing away from us and having to work her glutes pretty much the whole time, either.  I'm shallow that way, too.

[Lady Calypso]

I think, at this point, EVERYONE is going to be glad to get rid of her. At least, everyone in terms of Feedsters. 

I'm watching Morgan right now in the Storage Room. She's the luckiest, because she can stress eat. Luckily she's not a Have Not, or else being there would be difficult! 

Also, people on the site that I'm streaming the feeds on are really gunning hard for Kryssie's "bloody injury". People are joking about calling the CDC, amputating her hand, and all the blood Production has to clean up outside! 

[DAngelus]

I'm seeing one comment talking about how the house will be under quarantine due to Kryssie's infection.  And another about how if she did DOR, it would take her 15 minutes to walk out the door.  Heh.

Shelby's reading the intro card now.

[Lady Calypso]

Shelby's up. It looks like she's opening all of the questions as well, which is a good strategy. 

Judging by how quickly she's moving, if she can get all three answers correct on the first try, then she'll beat Morgan. 

[DAngelus]

Shelby's smaller legs mean that she has to use all the footholds, in both rows, to traverse the wall.  Morgan was able to stretch and keep to the second (upper) row.  3.20 thus far gone.

I didn't see Morgan. Was she scaling the wall faster? Shelby looks slow.

[J.D.]

Shelby's doing awesome!

ETA:  I spoke too soon.  Shelby, think it through.

Edited October 24, 2016 by J.D.

[DAngelus]

3.32:  Posts correct answer ("2") for Shane.

She's got the wrong answer ("14") for Monte, though.

[Lady Calypso]

Just now, ByaNose said:

She is a bit slow. She is smaller, so she might not beat Morgan. But she'll do better than Neeley/Kryssie, and she has maintained a positive attitude thus far. 

Oh no! She had 13 in her hand but then switched to 14 instead. Noooo! 

[DAngelus]

6.18:  Heads out with the correct answer ("9") for Cornbread.  But she has the wrong one up for Monte.

As much as a Scott or Shelby win is the easiest route for the Ballsmashers, Morgan has been so scared this week and will be so happy if she wins that I won't mind it a bit.  And I think Scott can survive the America's Tiebreaker…I hope.  

8.35:  She's not back from posting Cornbread yet, and then she rings in and is wrong about the Monte bit.  Congrats, Morgan, that's three down, two to go!

Apparently, Shelby thought Monte was nominated on a Tuesday.  Which is rich, as we had an AN just today, and it's Monday.  She's got the "13" card now, though.

12.18:  She got it!  A reasonably respectable time, but nowhere near Morgan's.

I'm sorry but I was lmao over this!

[Lady Calypso]

It took her a couple of extra minutes, but she figured out where she went wrong.

Her time should be about 12 minutes when she finishes, which is still great. If she had gotten the question right the first time, she still would have lost, but only by 10-30 seconds or so. 

All in all, yay Shelby! I hope Scott does well and I hope Justin throws it!
