'Big Brother 15' Episode 5 Recap VIDEO: CBS Airs Racist Comments; Aaryn Wins HOH, Nominates Elissa & Helen
Big Brother 15's Sunday night episode included airing of the controversial racist comments made by some of the houseguests, the remainder of the Head of Household competition and the nomination ceremony.
The remaining houseguests are, Aaryn Gries, Amanda Zuckerman, Andy Herren, Candice Stewart, Elissa Slater, GinaMarie Zimmerman, Helen Kim, Howard Overby, Jeremy McGuire, Jessie Kowalski, Judd Daughtery, Kaitlin Barnaby, McCrae Olson, Nick Uhas and Spencer Clawson
The episode picked up in the middle of the Head of Household competition, which involved the houseguests pairing up and working together to fill a barrel with barbeque sauce. The Jeremy-Aaryn partnership were tied with Andy-Elissa for most of the competition. Jeremy and Aaryn ended up winning and since there can only be one Head of Household, Jeremy decided to give Aaryn the win.
After the competition, Aaryn confronted the houseguests asking them who voted to evict David. Spencer lied directly to Aaryn's face and said he voted to evict Elissa when he really voted to evict David. Andy came clean to Aaryn that he voted for David.
Up in her HOH room, Aaryn discussed nomination possibilities with Jeremy, Kaitlin, GinaMarie and Jessie. Jeremy told her to nominate Elissa, who would be the main target, and Helen, since no one would vote to evict her. When Nick entered the room, Aaryn jokingly threatened him that she would "cut [his] balls off" if he was lying about voting out Elissa instead of David.
There was a montage of all of the racist comments said in this house, mostly by Aaryn and GinaMarie. Howard explained in the Diary Room that it was hurtful to him and Amanda said that Aaryn's actions would have consequences outside the house.
Candice and Helen speculated about the 7-5 vote at the first eviction. Candice came to the correct conclusion that there was a secret "boy super group" in the form of Howard, Jeremy, McCrae, Nick and Spencer.
Helen had a discussion with Aaryn about secretly protecting each other in the game, which Aaryn described as sketchy in the Diary Room. Meanwhile, Spencer tried to convince Jeremy to get Aaryn to nominate Amanda alongside Elissa. Spencer explained that Amanda was a potential problem for their Moving Company alliance going forward. Jeremy then told Aaryn that Amanda was behind David getting evicted, in an effort to convince her to nominate her.
At the nomination ceremony, Aaryn decided to nominate Elissa and Helen for eviction. She explained that Elissa caused "unnecessary waves" in the house while Helen was on the block "by association" of Elissa.
The next episode of Big Brother 15 will air Wednesday at 8 p.m. on CBS and will include the MVP reveal, the third nomination, the Power of Veto competition and the Veto ceremony.
