Big Brother 15 aired its 23rd episode Sunday night, featuring Aaryn's nominations for eviction.

Head of Household: Aaryn Gries

Houseguests: Amanda Zuckerman, Andy Herren, Elissa Slater, GinaMarie Zimmerman, Helen Kim, McCrae Olson and Spencer Clawson.

The episode began in the aftermath of Jessie Kowalski's eviction from the Big Brother house. Amanda commented on the fact that she's had a hand in every eviction thus far and said that she hopes to continue with this strategy.

After a recap of Aaryn winning the Head of Household competition, Amanda had a meltdown about not winning the competition. Amanda went into the storage room and hid behind the recycling bin and started crying. Meanwhile, GinaMarie and Spencer had a discussion and came to the conclusion that Amanda was going to ruin McCrae's life.

After Amanda calmed down, she and McCrae decided that it was time to make a big move in the game. Amanda suggested Helen and Elissa for nominations, with Helen being the target. The pair talked to Aaryn about the plan. Andy came in on the discussion and agreed with Amanda's plan. Aaryn voiced her apprehension, saying that it would be getting a lot of blood on her hands to nominate and target Helen.

Helen was dealing with her own drama, regarding a fallout with Elissa. Elissa had a discussion with Helen about trying to make amends with Aaryn, despite Elissa not liking Aaryn. Helen told Elissa to get her head in the game, and Elissa revealed that if she (Elissa) gets evicted, she would choose to go home instead of go to the jury house.

Helen was upset by this comment, thinking that Elissa could have been a vote for her to win. Helen went up to the HOH room and cried about her exchange with Elissa, and Aaryn, Amanda, Andy, GinaMarie and McCrae all comforted her as she explained her sadness over Elissa's comments.

Next, the houseguests participated in the Have-Not competition. They split up into two teams of four, with Amanda, Elissa, GinaMarie and Helen on one team and Aaryn, Andy, McCrae and Spencer on the other. The competition involved each team walking through the backyard in pitch-black to find a key. Aaryn, Andy, McCrae and Spencer won the competition, meaning Amanda, Elissa, GinaMarie and Spencer were forced to eat "slop" for the rest of the week.

Aaryn and Elissa had a conversation with Elissa about her personal life and attempted to bond with her. Aaryn assured Elissa that if she is nominated, Elissa wouldn't be the target. Then, Helen had a conversation with Aaryn and told her that she wouldn't be surprised if she put up Elissa. Helen also mentioned that if Aaryn protected her this week then she would stay loyal to Aaryn.

At the nomination ceremony, Aaryn nominated Elissa and Helen for eviction. She simply explained that Elissa and Helen are a power duo who could theoretically go after her.

The next episode of Big Brother 15 will air Wednesday at 8 p.m. on CBS, featuring the Power of Veto competition and the Veto ceremony.
