Big Brother 17: I Can’t Wait Until It’s Thursday!

by Lisa Marie Bowman on August 10, 2015

Hi, everyone!  Just a quick update because y’all know how crazy my Mondays are.  (Making it even crazier is the fact that it’s like a 120 degrees today!  BLEH!)

But anyway, here’s the important stuff:

They had the veto meeting earlier today.  It is true that, last night, there was a moment when Steve was considering not even using the veto.  I guess he thought that the Houseguests would keep him over Shelli and, by not using the veto, he could avoid getting anyone angry.

(But seriously, if you have the veto and you don’t use it to take yourself off the block then you deserve to go home.)

However, Steve came to his senses!  This morning, he used the veto on himself and Becky nominated Vanessa in his place!

And I really can’t wait to see that veto meeting play out on Wednesday because, apparently, Vanessa was taken pretty much by surprise.  I’ve been at work all day and tonight, I’m going to be out dancing so I really haven’t had time to study the feeds but I have seen a few little clips that make it pretty obvious that, after she was nominated, Vanessa totally freaked out.  Apparently, Becky said some pretty harsh things to her while nominating her.  Vanessa’s initial response was to sob and to repeatedly demand to know why.  Becky told her it was because she felt that Vanessa had insulted her by 1) questioning her loyalty and 2) pointing a finger at her while asking Becky if she could be trusted.

Vanessa’s been running around the house and begging for sympathy.  In typical Vanessa fashion, she’s been coming on way too strong and, strangely enough, she seems to be blame Shelli for being renominated.  She even went as far as to tell Shelli that Shelli owed everything that she has in the house to Vanessa.  Needless to say, Shelli did not appreciate that.

(Vanessa and Shelli have promised not to campaign against each other but I doubt that will last.)

Right now, Vanessa believes that Austin, Liz, Julia, Steve, and James will all vote to keep her.  However, James has told everyone in his alliance that he’s going to vote to evict Vanessa and Austin has already told both Liz and Julia that there’s no way that Vanessa is not going to be voted out on Thursday.  Hence, it makes sense for the three of them to go with the house and not make any waves.

(For the first time, Austin seems to understand that he and his allies are no longer in control of the house and that the Sixth Sense Alliance is as good as dead.)

So, if Vanessa is lucky, she might Steven’s vote.  But, considering how determined almost everyone else is to get rid of Vanessa, it would not surprise me if Steve decides to just go with the house as well.  

Imagine Vanessa’s reaction is she’s sent out on a unanimous vote?

I can’t wait until Thursday!

Lisa Marie

P.S. If Vanessa is voted out on Thursday, it appears that the house will be evenly divided as far as alliances go.  It’ll be James/Jackie/John/Meg/Becky vs. Shelli/Austin/Liz/Julia/Steve.  (Steve has already said that he’s planning on throwing the next HoH competition.)  Hence, this week’s double eviction will be even more important than it has been in previous seasons.  

Again, I can’t wait ’til Thursday!

I’ve had my hopes of eviction of houseguests going home ruined by my wishful thinking. So I too will have to see what happens on Thur. But the question remains who might be next if there is a double eviction? Steve seems to be my choice as he’s to much of a floater and who knows what house side he may align with. Thanks LM insightful as always.

Hey all!!! Have been gone all day so just getting around to catching up on BB. SOO happy Stever didn’t screw this no brainer renom up! I’m sorry. I know alot of you like him and I kind of did too at 1st, but he is an awkward. loner, idiot with NO BALLS! He’s not just a floater..he’s a coward!!! He’ll never make a big move or do anything because he is so afraid of everyone! He’s already stated that he is throwing the next comp! WHY would you say that out loud??? And this late in the game..NOT the time to be doing that!! ( I just found out that earlier he said it would be EASIER for him to not use the Veto but his Mother would be mad!!! Seriously Steve???? He really does to GROW a pair!!!lol)

Is IS the time…past actually…for all HGS to be on deck and actually playing the game!! I’m happy to hear the house is evenly divided. It does take half the season to get to where it’s actually interesting. They need to quit picking *characters* and start piking actual *players* to be in the house!!!

Vanessa will be pulling all the manipulating tricks out of her bag this week. so expect the expected with tears, finger pointing and tantrums galore!!! lol

Enjoyed everyone’s blogs from last page.
LOL @ Junksies!!

Everyone have a good evening!!! ♥♥♥

I’m happy about the James/Becky/etc alliance, but I’m honestly a little underwhelmed with Becky.

Please, swear everybody to absolute secrecy about your plans to backdoor Vanessa … then promptly break your own secret pact by telling both Johnny Mac (an unknown quantity at that point), and Shelli (definitely a Vanessa ally) about the plan. Really?? That’s the kind of thing that causes plans to blow up in your face, Becky.

I swear, these houseguests can barely hear a secret before they’re blabbing it to everyone.

Was waiting for this day to come when Vanessa was on the block.
Her actions in the house have been discrasful she forgets all the dirt she has spread and done to the others to get her people to vote out the gone house guests .
It was fun to see someone finally playing BB like we expect it to be played kadoes
to Becky.
Looking at Vanessa right now on BB Afterdark and she is pulling and Audrey sit snuggled in the comic room. With the awful l green hat.
Sheli is playing her part to a tee she will not tell her I knew all along you where going up !!!
When you asked me I lied no I did not know what she was going to do. So the nut doesn’t fall far from the Tree.
We know someone might be coming back just hope it is not Vanessa Please stay in the Jury House

Getting down to BRASS TACKS, I think SchizoNessa will be driving ALL the other HGs completely BONKERS with her attacking each and every one of them in her drooling, speed-stuttering attempt to blame and bash everyone in the BB hizzy but herself for her predicament.
If Steve-0(zero) throws HOH I hope he’s double evicted toot-sweet, and I hope WrestleMANIA and the Whiner-Twins get evicted next, nexter, and nextest.
Our totally neurotic HGs entertaining?

The irony is just too sweet. Vanessa lobbied all last week to keep Shelli over Clay, now one week later she’s s sitting next to Shelli on the block ready to finally go home. As soon as BBAD started last night there she is. Crying and whining how she’s such a nice player and why, oh why, would anyone do such a thing to her. It was absolute gold. Like I’ve said all season, Vanessa is not a good player and not nearly as smart as everyone made her out to be. Even around a bunch of HGs(maybe the exception of JMac) who have little to no observational skills, eventually an obvious manipulating strategy that’s overused and overplayed is going to catch up to you. Stay tuned, because it’s only going to get better.

@Kev…….love the toot-sweet and the next, nexter, nextest!! lol Love plying with the English language!! I agree about Steve-o!!! I am SOOoooo tired of him and his very unearned, inflated ego and sense that he is the MAN in BB gameplay!!! When you lose your virginity and move out of mommy’s, house you might be a man! But you got NO game boy!!!(pun intended!!)lol At least Aus and the twins try to play and have been involved in pretty much everything. I would much rather see Steve go in the Double evict….esp. if he does throw the HOH comp again!!! He creeps me out way more than Austin does!!!!

As for whoever is unlucky enough to come back into this den of vipers, good luck!!! You are gonna need it!!lol I don’t think anyone who has ever come back in hasn’t been the house target and almost always is GONE the next week!! Not my fav twist. They really need to get some new ones and quit trottting out these time worn tricks!!

@My2Cents….I just started watching BBAD and you are so right!! Van is balling her eyes out to her minions, Steve and Liz,and garnering as much sympathy as her bad acting will get her! You are NOT he 1st person to ever go on the block, you control freak!!! You should know, since you have had your hand in almost all the other HGS being there!!! What I hated about her HOHs and others’ in recent years,is that she had to let the HGS know beforehand that they were going up and WHY. She keeps asking that..WHY????? *sniff sniff* It doesn;t matter WHY!! Maybe Becky just didn’t LIKE you!!! Imagine that…lol But I don’t think the HGS going up OR really anyone who isn;t in the HOH’S alliance an have any RIGHT to know they are being nominated and it would be much more entertaining for us if they didn’t! Imageine all the surprised, shocked faces we’d get to see!! lol

I am not sure I can listen to Van all night wailing, thru her plugged *dose*(nose) *it’s Not FAIR!!!* Ugh!! 😛

I concur Star. I believe that was part of her downfall as well. She thought as long as I stab you in the front it’s ok and we’ll all be happy and nobody will ever dare come after the great and powerful Vanessa. I always knew that was never going to work and she should have too. Watching her true colors shine is both great and horrible all at the same time.

@Elizabeth – I was like noooo, don’t tell Shelli you are going to BD Van cuz in 2 seconds flat the secret will be out. But I get why Bec did it – to gain Shelli’s trust moving forward. It makes sense and Bec read it right, cuz Shelli so far has kept it from Van.

@PRHinNC – That is one trip that’s not ever gonna happen!!

@Star – I envy people who have excellent writing skills, it’s truly a gift and you have it. I got nouns and verbs but they lost me at dangling participles!! I agree about the character formulas BB targets each year, it’s too predictable. The comps too should be changed up so the HG’s don’t know what is coming. So tell me – how do you really feel about Steve? LOL!!!

@Sherry – OT previous post – Yup, the world is upside down and going backwards at breakneck speed. Don’t EVEN get me started on all of that. LOL!! Good thing we have BB to distract us for a while!!

Vanessa, poor Vanessa, she really is fascinating to watch. She is a very complex person with deep psychological issues, very vulnerable, almost like she has split personalities. She makes up her own little fantasy world and is offended if anyone doesn’t want to come play with her…very childlike. I kinda feel sorry for her just a wee bit and will miss the drama she brings to the house, that is, IF she leaves. It seems that James wants to flip the votes to evict Shelli which kind of surprised me, but then again, there is a mutual hate-fest between the two of them.

Brave and daring Becky must once and for all realize that she can trust NOBODY in the Big Brother House but herself. Pussy head James now wants to keep Vanessa since he fears Shelli more than Vanessa since he was responsible for Clay’s eviction. Apparently Jame’s balls got extracted in his have-not dental chair.

Junkies…..maybe they need to switch the vote. Shelli is more of a threat than Vanessa at this point. She’s being all nice and sweet to every one(sucking up). She’s won several HOH comps and is shrewd and cunning. I’ve heard her talking hard game in the past….and now she flitting around the house like she doesn’t have a care in the world! She has totally changed since Clay is gone! She’s no dummy, she knows what she is doing!! LOL!! Letting her know she was safe was not a good idea….I would have liked to see them both scared out of their wits not knowing where the ax was going to come down on!! LOL!! Good drama…once,again denied!!

Steve should be lobotomized after even CONSIDERING not using the Veto!! That’s really dumb….not much upstairs…maybe he’s semi-autistic (I don’t know if that’s even possible! LOL !).. I definitely think he has ADHD and is probably on meds. His actions when alone are freakish! LOL! I do feel sorry for him though. Wisdom teeth erupting is a painful process…I hope they give him antibiotics and something for pain!! I hate to see anyone suffer like that. I do have a heart but the boy’s got marbles in his brains!! Watch him win it all!! LOL!!

Oh hey. Does anyone know who the have nots are this week? I can’t tell…..everyone seems to be eating something! LOL! I just don’t know what! I did hear that Austin is going to be Liz’s soux chef because she was on slop last week. Now that’s true love, eh? LOL!!

Both Shelli and Vanessa need to go…this week would be an excellent time for that wish to come true…since we have a DE on Thursday evening…both are in my opinion strong convincing players that that can make HG’s see their way and change votes…if we get both out…the door is open for any of the others to jump in and take 500000.00…James and Becky are now starting to play the game…Austin is just enjoying his summer with itme and bitme…Steve is just plain old Steve…Jackie is showing some signs of knowing how to play the game…and Meg…well she just likes to smile all day and agree with everyone…so if Shelli and Vanessa go hiking this week the door is wide open…is Shelli stays she is the leader to win it all…just my opinion…

I am wondering how Vanessa is going to feel about the way she has been acting in the BB house when she gets back to the poker table with all of her poker pros; especially Annie Duke. There’s no crying in poker!! 🙂 She better hope they don’t watch BB. I am sure they know she is on the show since it has been her dream to be on BB for a long time. She will probably tell them it was her strategy!! I am sure she will be on YouTube again!
Getting ready for some hot breakfast muffins from Dunkin Donuts! Yum!

I think my favorite part of the last show was when Vanessa tried talking to Becky to get her to agree to another “deal” and Becky shut her down. The look of bewilderment on Van’s face was priceless! Its about time the other side of the house took control of things, and let them see how it feels. I can’t wait ’til tomorrow to watch Van’s face when she get BD!

Hi everyone! I don’t think I minded Vanessa as much as some because at least she has been playing the game since the beginning. I just don’t understand a professional poker player reacting emotionally. She sabotages her own gameplay because at this point Shelli has much more of a chance to win. i do love when the game becomes serious 1/2 through….just hoping people like Steve & Meg (as much as I like her personality) don’t make it to the end.

sherry August 11, 2015 at 3:08 pm

I just read that last night James, Meg, and Jackie were deciding to keep Vanessa and vote
out Shelli, as she is the bigger threat to their game. Are you kidding me??? Vanessa is much
more of a threat than Shelli. Shelli has no control over others in the house. Vanessa still
does. I hope Becki realizes her faith in this group of morons is misplaced. To go against
her plan that she brainstormed so hard on is not going to go over well with her. (At least
I don’t think she’ll take it well, but with this group….who knows?) James is still fuming
over the house not doing what he wanted last week, and how he gave up $5,ooo and a trip.
Get over it , James!! That was last week, and it was your decicion to do that. No one twisted
your arm to make that move. It amazes me how these people make decisions then want to
blame others and seem puzzled as to how it turned out.
James is fuming, also, over Shelli going through his clothes and taking back Clay’s things
that were left behind. Can’t figure out how Clay’s clothes would have fit him anyway.
Vanessa not understanding how or why she was put on the block is a prime example of
unrealistic thinking about how the game is played, and how people really see them. She
doesn’t believe she’s a threat?? Really???
I think one of the biggest mistakes made this season is the constant trying to get big al-
liances going. Then they don’t stay loyal and start others. Big alliances never work out. It’s
the smaller group that mixes with the others, but are constant in their loyalty to each other
that make it to the end. Did they watch past seasons? Did they not retain or understand
what they saw?
Another mind blowing thing is the way they think they are viewed by America. It is never
like the reality of viewers opinions about them.
Am looking forward to seeing BB tomorrow night and hoping editing isn’t as bad as it’s
been all season. Then woohoo, Thurs. night’s eviction should be a good one. I am the eternal optimist!!!

I’m with you sherry, Beckie needs to reconsider her trust in James, Meg and Jackie if they go against Beckie’s unwavering decision to vote out Vanessa and boot Shelli instead. In fact, should Pussy head James and his two-fold “sleeper” cell betray Beckie, my hope is that Beckie can survive the double eviction and come back with a fury and win ever comp as needed to eliminate the three of them, one by one, just for PERSONAL reasons!

I couldn’t have said it better, C’estMoi and Macy! I hope Becki’s Black Friday experience
will see her through the betrayal that could undo her game. James and Jackie are more
vindictive than other players and can be down right unlikeable at times. James at least
has a sense of humor (wish he would revert back to that James and quit listening to Jackie).
Jackie’s laugh, the twins valley girl voices and elementary screaming, and Vanessa’s
crying are making it awful hard for me to watch at times. I have to hit pause and walk away,
until I think I’m ready to dive in again for another beating of my nerves.
But then I think James and Jackie bring out the worse in each other, and Meg, vying to be
thought relevant by them, ends up sounding like someone with the IQ of a turnip.

Yes, Bob it’s true!!! The last I read last night was that the Goblins were talking about keeping Vanessa. Off to bed I went thinking when the sun rose they would see the light and stick to the plan. Ha!…and the BB roller coaster rolls on!!!

@Sherry – I’m with you on the laugh, and the voices, but quite enjoy the tears. I mute BBAD when the twins play pool with their constant yelping after each shot…drives me nuts!!

I get that Shelli is more of a threat cuz she is better at comps than Vanessa and they want her out first, but the Goblins need to consider the wrath of Becky if they don’t vote out Van.

Junksies: I guess I’m wrong, but I think Vanessas is better at comps that Shelli. Shelli
is better at endurance comps, but Vanessa is better at mental comps. I guess they both are threats, but to me, Vanessa is the greater, because she is able to rally the troops which Shelli fails at miserably. She has more authority over Steve, Austin, and the twins than does
Shelli, I think. Then you add that Becki will be unhappy, to say the least, if they change her
plan….and the threat becomes greater. It is something that Vanessa could perhaps use to her advantage to put a wedge between Becki and the Goblins. But hey, that’s just my way
of thinking and not always accurate.

@Junksies….I am so totally flattered by your compliment!! It means a lot to me coming form you!! 😉 I took teaching in college, due in part to my dad’s coaxing, and ended up rabbit trailing to a career in interior design, but I always wanted to be a journalist! 😉 But you mustn’t cut yourself short as you are no slouch in this department either!!! I thoroughly enjoy your posts! We both write with humor, just in different ways!

@Sherry…..I don’t think it really matters who is better at comps, etc. Right now the reason James wants Shelli to go is that he sent Clay home, so he KNOWS she is going to be gunning for him eventually!!! And of course his minions follow. There really IS no loyalty in this house! Clay may well have been the only example of it. To that end, we all think Becky has gone over to the GOOD side. But remember that she and Shelli were allies of sorts. At least Becky was her spy!! They could still be running that deal and Becky is just USING J/M/J to do her bidding. Nothing is ever as it seems this season! Also. not to despair as it is a DOUBLE eviction nite. And Shelli and Van are still the biggest targets. So..it would be a win/win and we could kill two HGs with one show!!lol I am just hoping that is the way it goes down . And if the HGS were thinking straight, they would be thinking ahead about the 2nd eviction and already planning to get the other one OUT!! But maybe that is too big an IF for this group…lol

I’m back from getting a perm and am enjoying all of your blogs. Looking forward to seeing Vanessa’s face when she gets backdoored! I just hope the house will respect Becky’s decision to backdoor Vanessa. If they don’t, won’t this be the first time the house has gone against the HOH? I guess we will find out! 🙂
Later! 😎

Every time I see someone talking about making a stupid decision @Steve not using the Pov to save himself or now ppl talking about leaving Van in the game I tend to wonder if ‘production’ is involved just to stir the pot.

tendr: I have thought the same thing, but then I remember how all over the board these
guys have been. I definitely think they do a lot of playing around with the HGs minds in
the DR and a lot of editing to make certain characters seem better or worse than they
really are. But we are never able to prove just how much they have to do with any changes
or decisions made in the house. I can’t even figure out how HNs get chosen this year. I
see three, I see four, I see no one as a HN. And we, the audience, haven’t had the oppor-tunity to vote for anything yet this year. It’s been a strange season all around. I’m not
sure production even knows what’s going on,or if they know WTH they’re doing from one
minute to the next!!!

@Sherry – No rights or wrongs, just our opinions, but you are right that Shelli is better at endurance. It’s all good!!

@Star – I had some college but no degree. 🙁 Never a job hopper, I enjoyed multiple promotions within…one position as a skills instructor writing procedures manuals for both assembly and office administration for 2 employers. We have stuff in common…funny, I was a teacher/trainer but always wanted to be…get this…an interior designer!!! In the beginning, I was like cool!!!…I’m gonna root for Shelli cuz she’s an interior designer!!! That lasted about 2 minutes!! LOL

@tendr – I agree about production interfering(?). For instance, with James and the Goblins changing their mind about evicting Van….I was like…ahh ohh…production got to James!!!

Allegedly, Becky’s alleged alliance is going to evict Shelli on Thursday and join Vanessa in going after Becky. Why on earth would anyone jump on the bottom rungs of THAT totem pole? If Steve is such a fan of the game, why is he choosing a low low profile route? Getting down to BRASS TACKS James, Jackie, Meg and JohnnyMac will be Vaessa’s targets if they are foolish enough to keep her. The 2nd eviction on Thursday is key.
This BB House is an ASSylum fo’ sho’!!!!!

Please if production reads these blogs and cares what the viewers want, please go back to square one and play the game the way it was meant to be played.

O/T
Junksies, I can relate to what you did. I also wrote programs for word processing procedures, taught computer classes, did computer graphics and don’t even get me started on flow charts!!! 🙂 I loved my job at the bank and I also worked for a marketing firm where I did graphic design. Very exciting work.

I don’t know how much more I can tolerate the Goblins. They are the text book example of
how power corrupts. I wish some kind of twist could be initiated to blow up their plans.
James saying, “I’d like to say to Shelli, Steve isn’t going to do you any good and say the
same to Steve.” They now want to target Becki and JM. This group of three doesn’t have
one drop of loyalty in any of them. Becki kept them safe this week, but now they’re getting
Austin, Vanessa, and the twins to side with them and work on getting JM out or Steve.
They will put Becki up on the block, but “have the votes to save her”. James is no longer
on my “like” list. He is on the same list as Meg and Jackie. Won’t mention what list that
is. They are so confident they have Vanessa in the palm of their hands. Good luck with that
one. Austin and the twins will float with the house, but aren’t comp threats. This coming
from Meg was laughable, if it wasn’t so pathetic. The only way she could win a mental
comp would be if she had the answers ahead of time. And even that wouldn’t be a given, if
she slept between times. As far as physical comps, she would have to have everyone agree
to drop out and let her have it….to win. I can’t believe I really liked her in the beginning.
But then I liked James for most of the game, too. Funny how a little power brings out the
true personality and inability to handle it with class with so many.
I was looking forward to Vanessa leaving and taking her emotional outbursts and constant
yammering with her. Now I have to look forward to more of the same. This game drives
me crazy!!!! And after re-reading my post….brings out the worst in me. Sorry for my rant.

OM gosh! Julia with her acerbic tongue just told Liz that Becki called them “bitchy”.
Liz asks, “How are we bitchy?” I nearly fell off the couch.
