Amanda is Seizing
6:35pm BBT - 2nd Video Just Added
7:18pm BBT - The feeds just came back on for a couple seconds.
7:20pm BBT - Feeds are back on. No sign of Amanda yet. Spark em up!!
Amanda mentioned a few minutes ago that she really needed some sugar, but BB wouldn't let her come into the Diary Room... She told us a few times on the feeds that she's hypoglycemic...
- Derangements of function can range from vaguely "feeling bad" to coma and (rarely) permanent brain damage or death. Hypoglycemia can arise from many causes and can occur at any age.
Just now, Amanda dropped to the floor in a dead faint, and then began to have a seizure.
Natalie: Amanda just fainted or something!
Chelsia: Guarantee she's just being dramatic because she's on slop. Guaranteed.
- ***Go look for a noose, why don't you, Chelsia?
Ryan: Open the Door!

She was having trouble getting air too. That upsets me a lot. They know these people's medical histories in every minute detail. Assholes in production.
Jane
I watched it, and I'm not sure I'm buying it.
Amanda has just passed Shiela for best actress on BB9.
Sounds like After Dark will be interesting tonight. I hope Amanda is OK! See what eating slop will do to a person??? I'd take a peanut butter diet over slop (oatmeal) any day.
Gee...I thought BB was never gonna help her. That was rude of Chelsia, and I liked Chelsia too!!
Does any1 have the whole video be4 she hit the ground
Here we go...I'm sure this will spark a whole wave of additional Amanda hate...poor thing.
Feel better Amanda!
Wow that was difficult to watch. I hope she is ok.
I didnt believe her at first either, cant blame the others for being skeptical... but WOW.. I hope shes ok!
I watched it as it happened... very scary. And for those of you who doubt... Amanda is not the actress in the bunch... Sheila is.
I couldn't believe Chelsia's comment... in my eyes she has now stooped too low and I hope she's gone soon. What a mean witch. The noose comment earlier in the week... pass... maybe she didn't think.
This stupid ass comment. You should be really ashamed of yourself Chelsia.
I hope Amanda is OK... and if not, Alex will get a new partner - like Jen or Parker.
Chelsia makes me ill. She doesnt trust anyone because she doesnt trust herself.What she has said about Amandas father is some real sick stuff karmas a bitch.
It's amazing also... let's say there is a life threatening event in there... would anybody be there in time? This was not a good sign.
Reversing acute hypoglycemia
The blood glucose can be raised to normal within minutes by taking (or receiving) 10-20 grams of carbohydrate. It can be taken as food or drink if the person is conscious and able to swallow. This amount of carbohydrate is contained in about 3-4 ounces (100-120 ml) of orange, apple, or grape juice, about 4-5 ounces (120-150 ml) of regular (non-diet) soda, about one slice of bread, about 4 crackers, or about 1 serving of most starchy foods. Starch is quickly digested to glucose (unless the person is taking acarbose), but adding fat or protein retards digestion. Symptoms should begin to improve within 5 minutes, though full recovery may take 10-20 minutes. Overfeeding does not speed recovery and if the person has diabetes will simply produce hyperglycemia afterwards.
If a person is suffering such severe effects of hypoglycemia that they cannot (due to combativeness) or should not (due to seizures or unconsciousness) be given anything by mouth, glucose can be given by intravenous infusion or the glucose can be rapidly raised by an injection of glucagon. Further details of glucagon use are provided in the article on diabetic hypoglycemia.
** I hope they have a medic there with injectable glucose or she's going to the hospital ... then what??
Jane
is she ok??
I hope Amanda is okay also, Chelsia is twisted and turned me off the first time she started on Amanda a few days ago. Someone needs to give her a kick lol.
No one is that good of an actress. Amanda can be a shit stirrer but she didn't deserve the comment made by Chelsia and she needed help!
Hope Amanda is ok. When all is said and done, this is just a game, she's a human being.
I cant believe people are saying its fake...this is serious. I hope she is okay, scary thing that is trust me..!
Amanda has said many time that she is hypercalcemic and Big Brother should have payed more attention to that. For all the people saying she is faking, makes me sick, come on have a little compassion.
I have diabetics in my family that sound and act exactly like that when having a seizure from sugar dropping...seemed very real to me...
I feel sorry for her........hope she is going to be ok
my mom's friend is hypoglycemic
my prayers are with amanda. i don't think she is acting. my understanding of hypoglycimics (sp) they get very emotional before they have an attack.
As hard as it is to hate a person I don't even know, I am pretty sure I hate Chelsia.
No way she was faking that, you would have to be one hell of a pitiful person to pull something like that. If she was faking I hope Amanda is removed from the show. In a way though I hope she was faking and that she is OK.
I overlooked the last noose comment from chelsia, but if this is real (and I think it is) I won't accept this comment and will be done with her. I was really feeling sorry for how Chels is gonna feel when she finds out she's makin out with a gay porn star....I guess maybe she deserves it! God don't like ugly
Yeah - I agree with everyone here - Chelsia is really heartless, hoping she is outta there soon!!!
It was a stupid comment by Chelsia, but she said it on the way inside after only hearing "Amanda passed out." She hadn't seen Amanda yet and no one had yet to say seizure. So I'd cut her a bit of slack there. I can imagine someone pretending to pass out on BB (needless to say this wasn't pretend).
I'm more angry at production who could see and hear everything!
Jane
I was watching the feeds when she collapsed and i have to say it was pretty scary and I highly doubt someone would go to the lengths of faking something like that... hope she's ok and it was awful of chelsia to make that comment, i mean have some compassion
I hope Amanda is OK and that it was all just an act. If it wasn't an act, production has some serious explaining to do.
Now there's a way to get ratings! Kill off the houseguests instead of evicting them?
=)~
to add a little personal note: I am hypoglycemic and before I learned to regulate my glucose levels (especially when I was younger) I passed out quite a few times...it only take a few mintues to get back, but it can be very scary. She'll be fine. But I'm sure the house (and all the haters watching) will create some silly drama over it! I still can't understand all the hatred towards her...
Jane I understand what you mean but after the noose comment this was enough for me. And that was way over the line. Chelsia and Joshua both! Mean, nasty people!!!
Oh my God! I hope she's OK!!!
I am very hypoglycemic. This was NOT an act. This is exactly what happens, from a personal perspective. Chelsia is a rotten @#$%& for even suggesting that she was acting. BB should know these peoples medical history. I hope she gets feeling better and soon!
Sure Chelsia shouldn't have said that...but she said it without knowing what happened. I believe she didn't mean it and is very concerned for Amanda. On another note, we cannot continue to hold the noose thing over her like that....she apologized. She recognized her wrong-doing and was forgiven. Therefore, it's in the past. Quit throwing it back in her face.
~L
Chelsia dosen't deserve to be cut any slack after starting on Amanda a few days ago the little wretch. I'm lighting a candle for Amanda and pray she will be okay.
I saw it live and I agree Carolyn Chelsa needs a noose. She is now on my shit list!
I am a nurse and for those thinking she faked it she didn't. When ones blood sugar drops too long their body goes into shock.
That's what happen to Amanda. I saw it live.
Sad and pathetic to think someone can or would fake that.
DebinNY
This makes me very concerned that the feeds are still off. I hope she is OK.This new production company sucks!
Omg... I hope Amanda is okay!!
Chelsia is poison.
And yeah, totally agree with Jane. Production was slow in their response. Pisses me off. Especially knowing Amanda's medical history...
Come on Big Brother...expect the unexpected.
~L
This is awful. I really don't think we would be away from the feeds for so long if she were faking it! Everyone who said she was acting should be ashamed!
I am praying for Amanda. Chelsia is plain evil!! Whatever happens in the house, no matter - Amanda will do better once the show is over. Chelsia is nothing.
Just so you know, Chelsia said earlier today in the HoH room that maybe today's PoV event would feature a noose. Joshua then commented, after laughing, that maybe it would be whoever's partner loses breath first would lose.
Chelsia is an awful person and I really hope she dies.
serena - I can't really disagree that Chelsia can be nasty (and Josh big time), but in my book the noose comment was worse. If you were watching them come in from the hot tub, Chelsia really didn't know it was serious. I'm not saying it was kind, but more petty than heartless. Chelsia did look upset when she saw Amanda (they were all very upset).
BTW - long feeds. There must be something real going on in there. A sip of juice didn't fix that.
Jane
what if...now everyone just remain calm and consider wht I'm saying before flyig off the handle...what if this is BBs way of taking a patner out and bringing back an evicted HG?? Like what happened with Neil. I do believe they are going to bring someone back...why was Sharon in sequester instead of going home? Granted all the secrecy behind Neil's leaving could just be a privacy issue--but maybe not. Why hasn't Parker or Jen been on house calls? Because they are bringing someone back (in my opinion). Maybe BB offered Neil and now Amanda some sort of incentive to leave the house and what happened a few minutes ago was Amanda's way out? Just throwing an idea out there....
Chelsia also made a noose comment earlier today! She joked (infront of Adam, Josh, Alli, James and Ryan) that today's PoV event should have a noose in it.
I can't believe no one captured that video and posted it. I hope CBS plays her comments, that's all I want.
I don't care for Amanda but I do hope she is ok. I think the people watching them should have reacted sooner.
By hearing her on the feeds, I don't think she was faking. However, there has been a bunch of intense drama in the house tonight and everyone is fired up. I don't think Chelsia realized the seriousness of it at first. I don't think she should be cruicified for it either. Everyone in that house wishes they could take back things they've said without thinking.
Jane - I agree the noose comment was worse.
I think we should take into consideration that when everyone in the house realized what happened with Amanda was legit, Chelsia was right there and very concerned and trying to help Amanda in any way. Perhaps we shouldn't send her to the noose just yet....
I hope shes ok, or the theme of this season is going too far.
really the feed have been off for a long time. What is happening?
I hope she is okay. It didn't look like she was breathing when she was face down. How scary. I didn't hear Chelsia make that comment, lord knows if she really thought something was wrong she wouldn't have said such a thing. I don't think she is that vicious.
I just happened to be watching the hot tub feed when it happened which cut to a camera from a different direction. Amanda was much worse off than this clips shows. She was seriously seizing and lost her breath for quite a few seconds. Someone knew to roll her on her side (prevents suffocation if vomiting) and that's when she started gasping for air.
Disturbing! Production should have been right in there!!
Jane
Angie - good point, that thought actually crossed my mind as well. If that is the case, I wonder how many times they think that they can pull that off. And if that is the case that is a crappy way to do it.
I aggree 100% with Michelle's comment below. Chelsia really did look concerned and was trying to help. I think everyone should stop and think before they make comments that are so harsh in nature.
" Michelle said...
I think we should take into consideration that when everyone in the house realized what happened with Amanda was legit, Chelsia was right there and very concerned and trying to help Amanda in any way. Perhaps we shouldn't send her to the noose just yet...."
I agree 100% with Michelle's comment below. It really did look like Chelsia was concerned. I think everyone should be a little less hateful in their comments.

I hold Big Brother Staff Responsible for this. She stated numerous times she was Hypoglycemic and now this.
Someone stated Peanut Butter diets were better, YES I Agree 100%.they have sugar & Protein. Much better then Oatmeal anyday in my opinion.
I Hope she's Ok..
Come on now Issy, Chelsia said it more than once, there is no excuse for her actions.
OMG - what happened to Allison. It sounds like she had a severe allergic reaction at the same time?? It sounds like they BOTH went to the hospital!!
Jane
Apparently the panic button was pushed and then that triggers the cops.
Amanda isn't in the house right now and Matt was trying to get the NBA standings out of the cops.
That leads me to believe Amanda's condition isn't that serious.
WOW !! BB production moved really slow
This makes me sick to my stomach.
I sincerely hope she is ok.
They switched to slop from PB&J because that slop product is supposedly "complete nutrition." Last season they read the whole label and it's some kind of fortified food substance - it's not oatmeal.
But some people need special stuff. Obviously.
Any word on Allison??
Jane
omgggggggggg Alison to??? me nerves!!!! I just caught it at Jokers. I can't wait until next week so I can get the feeds darn it. I just hope they will both be okay, I wonder if something was wrong with the slop.
Has anyone noticed that they are saying that Allison is gone too? Something to do with an allergic reaction and her face swelling?
I was glad to hear about the panic button, and I guess there is a nurse there 24/7. That makes me feel a little better.
Still upsetting that production didn't listen when she tried to get into the DR.
Jane
Crap...what happened to Allison?????????????
I realize Amanda has left the house, but where's allison?
What twits Josh and Chelsia are both just now agreeing that Amanda was over reacting. Yeah she is concerned alright....NOT
Sheila is throwing Amanda under the bus big time. Again, Natalie started trouble and Amanda is being blamed. Sheila just said that Amanda told her that Allison was talking crap about her...when what really happened was that Amanda mentioned the situation to Nat and Nat was the one who got Sheila all riled up.
Chelsia is STILL saying amanda over reacted.. she is a witch!
I am an ICU nurse, this classic low blood sugar. BB should have had a clue about this, she obviously has told them she has sugar issues. IV now and run in as many bags d10 as poss. Admit now to ICU she can die. Seizure and gasping tells me she has a sugar of low 30's.
Busy night...
Sheila said to Josh that the paramedics thanked him for pushing the panick button... because it saved Amanda. So it may be pretty serious. She's at the hospital getting checked out. Apparently she needs some medications/
James is in a shock of what happened. He was holding her head when she was in convulsions. He seems sincere... Chelsia not so.
Sorry Jeannie, I was orginally referring to the dramatic comment not the noose comments.
However, I'm having to agrree as Chelsia is still keeping it up in the HT. We aren't dealing with the most mature here.
showtime is going to suck without amanda in the house!!
What Angie (at 7:12) said really strikes a chord.
I "felt" like this was an act. It just didn't seem right. People can call me names or insensitive or whatever, but it's how I felt.
Why would production move that slow if it wasn't an act?
Anyone want to bet that Alex gets called into the diary room later and they ask him, "So, of the two departed houseguests from this past week, who would you like to be your new partner?"
If that happens, then how many more "actor plants" are in this house? Neil was #1, and Amanda #2.
I'd bet on Sheila being #3.
Nobody has a handle on explaining how this game works. Is it a short series, or regular length? Do people win as couples? Or will one person win the grand prize? How does the sequester work? Why did Sharon and Jacob not hit the streets? Why hasn't Jen and Parker been on the interview circuit?
This game is twisted, and NOBODY knows what the hell is going on.
In my opinion, Amanda's "seizure" is just another planned twist.
I am so worried for Amanda right now.
Honestly, I smell a lawsuit! I think in the future, they need to have a doctor or nurse on staff??? SOMETHING!
Isellmineralmakeup,
There is a nurse there 24/7
James is gay
Wow. That was so scary. After the noose comment and now this, I will never and could never support or like Chelsia.
Seizures really freak me out. Why does it take so long for BB to respond? Why don't they run out there immediately? Does anyone know?
I'm hypoglycemic also and I know exactly what this is like. It's so scary when you start getting shaky and know what's coming if you don't get what you need to eat quick. I can't believe how heartless Chelsia is....
I read that Allison was in the DR getting treatment for her allergic reaction and that is why Amanda could not get in.
Amanda has proven to be a drama queen this season so if I was Chelsia out in the hot tub and heard Amanda fainted I would have had teh same reaction, here we go again with the drama queen not knowing just how serious the situation was. Most of you people would too, admit it, don't be so judgmental.
Chelsia's comment about the noose didn't have to do with Amanda's father, it was about her hanging herself in the game, like making herself look bad so she wasn't going to win, it was Josh's comment that made it about her dad. This time though, her comment about amanda doing it for drama because she is on slop is just too much.. she needs to go soon. And she was one of my favs too.
Question for the ICU nurse: have you ever heard of pseudoseizures?
I don't think that this was a seizure(grand mal), but I do think that this was a pseudoseizure. The only way to be sure is to perform an EEG. She didn't appear to have some of the classic symptoms of tonic-clonic seizures(loss of bladder function, tongue biting, muscle spasms-stiff, head rolled back, or eyes open) She seemed to be very limp. The main thing that they drilled into us about PS is eye closing. In grand mal the eyes are open.
I think she had a pseudoseizure based on what I learned from my neurology courses & rotation. They made us watch tons of videos of tonic-clonic, absence, pseudoseizures, alcoholic, and infantile seizures. They drilled it into us: know what they look like and the classic symptoms that you may see.
On my neuro rotation, there were 4 kids that were admitted/eventually diagnosed with PS. When I talked to these kids, they described falling, shaking, heavy breathing/gasping for air(symptoms which are similar and often difficult to distinguish from seizures). They also reported closing their eyes. Their EEGs showed no abnormalies. Hypoglycemia can also cause pseudoseizures.

Pseudoseizures: Recognition and treatment
E. WAYNE MASSEY M.D.1, and TERRENCE LEE RILEY M.D.2
1 Assistant professor of neurology at Duke University Medical Center
2 Assistant professor of neurology at Boston University Medical Center
Pseudoseizures involve a subjective loss of consciousness, usually resulting from a psychological disturbance. Drug intoxication, panic or anxiety attacks, or hypoglycemia may also induce behavior that resembles epilèptic manifestations. Multiple EEG evaluations and careful clinical observation can rule out epilepsy. Psychiatric treatment, including family interviews and sympathetic discussion of the underlying emotional problem with the patient, should be provided when appropriate.
BB9 this has gone to far. You people need to be quick if there is an emergency. I also suffer from hypoglycemia and it is very very scary. I can't stand Chelsia she is heartless. She cares for know one except herself. We as humans should have a brain and know what to say and what not to say. If i was told that someones father killed himself, I would never ever make a comment about a noose, I mean common we have commonsense lets use it. As far as her thinking this was fake that makes me sick under whatever circumstance. She could have kept her little comments to herself I have NO respect for her at all and I hope she is gone soon. Amanda i wish you the best and hope you getting feeling better really soon.
chelsia is a brat but you need to remember that during the fight, chelsia said get a noose and I don't think she was thinking about amandas dad it was just a figure of speech, josh was the one who said "just like her daddy" he took it way too far and he is the real ass...
"Amanda mentioned a few minutes ago that she really needed some sugar, but BB wouldn't let her come into the Diary Room... She told us a few times on the feeds that she's hypoglycemic..."
-because Alison was in DR in mean time with emergency situation also, and BB dealt with that,- paramedics were called for Alison first.
