Audrey is a potential backdoor candidate, they wont nominate her.

Actually Becky wants her to go straight up, not backdoored.

Well apparently Becky WILL nominate Steve and Jason

If I was Becky I don't think would've nominated Steve considering there is an 8 person alliance that has been talked about in the house, and everyone knows Steve isn't one of them. I know he is a safe nominee, but you have to take every opportunity to whittle down the bigger alliance(s).

Becky is the definition of butterface

I have never seen this before where they actually hold court in the HOH room like this. Usually people just pop in, they are acting like this is a doctors office and they are scheduling appointments and calling people to the back.

Did we ever actually get the story on that?

Becky was hit by a tram like this



one between 6-7am on Febraruy 3rd, 2014 in Munich, Germany. While trying to cross the street on Thierschstraße, she stuck her face out behind a extra-large moving van, directly into the moving tram. On streetview here you can see how close the gap between parked cars and the tracks is.
At that time she was 24 years old and the Store Manager for the Hollister store in Munich. After she broke her face she had a break of 3 months and from May 2014 on she was back in Denver.
The police report says (roughly translated), that she was severly wounded, including head injuries. The 50 year old driver of the tram went into shock and was also transported to the clinic. The damage on the tram was around 1000 euro.

Video of her telling the train wreck story

in text:

Shelli: She got hit in the face by a train. Don't you all remember that? She told us that story....

(Apparently Becky told the group before the feeds went live, a simpler time when they could say a lot of things without fear of retribution.)
Becky: I can talk about it now, but not the name of it (the train) or the location.

People start settling in to listen. It's going to be a good story, and they know it.

Here are the details, from Becky herself.

* She was walking to work on a snowy February morning (2014) at about 6:00 am. She says she was really hit in the face by a "street tram", not a train. (I immediately knew that Becky got hit in Germany, where she was working at the time. Jackie remembered hearing Becky's story, and told Jeff that they both rode on that train, but she can't say where it was. Jackie and Jeff were in Germany for TAR, so there you have it. I've not been to Germany, but elsewhere in Europe I've seen those street trams. They are very modern-looking and quiet, and the tracks are usually incorporated right into the streets, along popular routes.)

Becky was wearing a fur hood, and was hurrying along to get to work so she could get out of the cold. She says she had no alcohol in her system, no drugs, and was not wearing earbuds with a phone or an iPod...nothing like that.

Becky was walking along a "skinny sidewalk", and there was a big van blocking the sidewalk in order to deliver a piano. Becky stuck her head out about six inches to look for traffic before stepping out into the street, and the tram was going by and hit her right in the face. That's the last thing Becky remembered before waking up in Critical Care, where she stayed for three days.

A few of Becky's teeth on the top right fell out, and I think she said they went through her skin. She had to have her top lip "sewn back on" and she broke her nose.

She also had a fractured skull. When the tram hit her, her body flew 15 feet in the air, and when she landed she broke her wrist (the left one?) and also her leg and part of her feet (?).

Becky says that during the period in Critical Care, she just assumed that she would never be pretty again, but was more worried about brain injuries. She was more concerned with having a normal life, and the part of her brain that was damaged in the frontal lobe is the part that determines personality. There were two doctors who disagreed over treatment---one of them was worried about brain swelling and bacteria, and wanted to operate. The other didn't want to do that, and Becky is glad her family listened to that doctor, because now she is virtually back to normal.

Becky: It's funny. I gave up on being pretty right away. I thought, I've been pretty my whole life...I'd rather be able to speak and think. It was just like choosing a different sandwich for lunch...it was that easy for me.

They are all amazed by the fact that Becky has had no plastic surgery. She says her nose, teeth and face still look exactly the same after the emergency surgery. (I'm assuming she did have dental surgery, though.)

* She says she is very lucky she didn't have her head turned, because if the train had hit her on the side of the head the outcome would have been much worse. Getting hit in the face where she did was one of the best options.

* She still has pending legal issues, however, which limit what she can say. (If she's getting a settlement from the tram company or even the city, though, she will likely never be able to talk about the specifics publicly.)

Becky: So that's why I've said that I've been in a slump for the last 18 months....just sitting around and not working or anything. That's how I got fit...working out so much.

Liz: So, I guess you didn't make it to work that day!

Everyone laughed.

Becky: No! I was like, there's been a train accident....I won't be there today....

frick Becky.. she's using John. Becky is okay with John going up because he won't win HOH for her next week. She just views him as a number in a numbers game.
