Big Brother 17: Potentially Good News

Thanks for the info Lisa! …………………….

I would love to see both Twins make it into the house. I wonder where they stay when not in the house. Jury house maybe? I want to see Austin gone.

I certainly hope nominations work out the way they want it. If they are both on the
same page about getting Austin out, then maybe all will be fine. It will depend on how
closed mouth the group can be. If someone wins the veto and gives it to someone on the
block to remove them from the block are they still safe from nomination? I can’t remember
how that goes. I would think they would again be vulnerable. If that is the case, then it
would be better for Jackie to remain HOH and hope that if Austin wins veto, he will take
Liz off the block. That would be the only sure method of backdooring him. I fear that some-
one like Steve will open his mouth and let the cat out of the bag, allowing Austin to be
aware of his potential backdoor. If Clay remains on the block and doesn’t win veto power
by his own initiative or someone else’s who would save him, he will go home and Austin
remains in the house. It’s too big of a gamble at this stage in the game. I just want Austin
and his alter ego to go home before jury.

Thanks LM, Yes I agree Austin is the person we love to hate, but it would have been nice if Julie said to Austin , ” So who does Austin vote to evict?”, but alas that was not the way it happened. I do like Becky and James seems likeable also. The Clay couple should be split as we know showmance teams tend to later lead like bullies (IMHO). Now the action can begin if they keep quite about their plan.

Since I did put up the noms on the last page before Lisa’s blog,but no one noticed, I just want it noted that I was not slacking on my Spoiler duties!!! lol

Last night, Van went down to Austin and asked him about the whole Jason/twin rumor. She told him straight out that she couldn’t/wouldn’t work with a liar, and whatever he told her had to be the 100% truth! She even asked if he understood! He looked right at her, said yes, and LIED to her face!!!!!!! She went back up to the HOH and told Clay and Shelli tht she was DONE with him…and Judas!!! 😉 Shelli hadn’t really ever liked or trusted him and by association, neither had Clay. I didn’t like those 2 at first, and am still not crazy about Shelli as she is a control freak, but at least they are smart, know the game and are playing it! Everyone keeps saying they need to be split up, and if you are an HG then yes, that is true. But as far as being a view and fan goes, there are a lot other people in there I would rather see go before S&C. Ya know, if they can manage to stay together and they win, they deserve it!!!

Just heard that Van and Shelli have a new alliance name..Vanelli!! I didn’t hear what for but I am assuming for a F2 deal. SO Shelli is ready to throw Clay under the bus, eh??? Don’t tell us she was USING him all this time!!!! 😯 Like who didn’t see THAT coming!!lol

Also, they say that Austin thinks he has Jason in his back pocket!!! He already went over to the Vanelli side, Judas!!! Man… are the guys clueless in here or WHAT???LOL They way it’s looking, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a female BB Winner for a change this year!! WOOHOO!!

Everyone bored waiting to play the BOtB. I guess they think BB is waiting because it is so hot out. Seems like they have been doing that and the Veto comp later this year…like late afternoon, early evening my time. So will be looking out for that!!

While I would like to see Austin out, I still don’t understand why the HGs aren’t taking out the twins (2 people) with one vote since this is the last week that is possible. Sure they can be voted out later but it has to be over two weeks instead on swoop. Liz/Julia already showed she will go against the alliance when she voted for Jeff to stay. Getting the twins out might just send Austin over the edge that he may make life so difficult for the other HGs that they have another unanimous vote to evict him the following week.

Glad Audrey is gone too. It was good that “production” showed some of the time lapse Audry was in the diary room. Julie should have asked her why she missed tne veto cere ony but I am not surprised she didn’t ask. Audry still tried to play the “victim”.Bye Audry!! i hope they get Austin /Judas out this week too, followed by C.lay or Shelli!

I wanted to thank you, Star, for your info!! I can’t understand why they’re not getting rid of Liz. By doing so, they’re potentially eliminating two people. Liz talks like a nasally valley girl- annoying . Austen is clueless and I will be glad to see him go!

JOLEE – vanessa was telling shelli bout the whole judas thing and she didnt know who he was!

Thank you Lisa. You have a gift for putting it all together for us.
I thought James was sweet to give Audrey food. When they showed her eating it..that’s when I saw the spoiled entitled girl.

I like Vanessa!

Thank’s macy! Like someone said last night, I think Julie should have said “Austin” cast your vote! Why encourage his silliness! Just my opinion! I get confused about BOTB … who is HOH? Vanessa or Jackie? Inquiring minds want to know! Well back to my cooking shows?? 🙂 Later!

@jadeangel….. you’re welcome!! 😉 And I didn’t think of it before sherry said it but yes, I do think that Audrey lives a very sheltered life and is molly coddled by her family. I think they see her *transing* as a handicap and so they want to be there to support her and do everything they can to help her get ahead in life DESPITE this horrible curse that has befallen her. I bet they even paid for it and helped arrange the whole thing with CBS. Probably figured if she won it would help her confidence level and get her ahead in some kind of career. And if she won the money she could pay back her folks for everything!!lol I really thought she was sick but now I think she was just acting…..like the spoiled brat she is!!!
I didn’t notice Brittany looking all that much different, but then again, she wasn’t my focus. You think she had fillers in her face?? Considering she said she is happy being a full time mom,why would she bother???

@Jolee….Vanessa is the HOH. Whoever loses the BOtB goes on the block and then that HOH is the one for the week. Whoever wins takes themselves down, and their HOH….Jackie…is done too. Does that help?? I never liked this twist and I hope once jury starts, it is OVER!!!!

As for the twins, the Clay/ Shelli/Van side of the house want to keep the twins for the extra vote it will bring. But finally, the other side with Jason and James et all, are seeing them as a threat and did want to take her out this week, but now she isn’t on the block.

And as for Liz and James throwing the comp. James had planned to so they could get Liz out. But try as he could to lose, they ended up winning anyway. Makes me wonder what Clay IS good at!!! lol Besides sucking up to Shelli, that is!! 😉

I know it’s the end of the thread so now I can say this. I kinda liked Austin but I hope for Vanessa. Dont like all the J’s or Becky.

Thank’s Star. I got confused because I heard Jackie was HOH and then they were talking about Vanessa being HOH. I know they both won HOH competition, but I was confused about the BOTB and who won. Very confusing. I like it the way it used to be! One HOH= no confusion!! 🙂 I hope you all have a great weekend. Talk to you all later!! Nite! 🙂

@jadeangel816 – Pretty interesting to hear Audrey’s family/friend(?) comment about whether Audrey’s tears were CALCULATED OR REAL. It was a loaded, powerful comment. Like, I got your number Audrey. I see right thru you. Re Brittany looking different…I totally agree!!!

…oops! *red face* how embarrassing. *blushing*
@Jolee @Star – I checked my charts…against Star’s explanation and I stand corrected. Both weeks are the same. 36 hours of remote attachment to India has left my brain like mush. I should get to sleep but I MUST catch up!!

Vanessa is not a good player. None of these players this season know how to play BB. Vanessa is as transparent as they come, yet nobody can figure out what she’s doing? Austin is infatuated with Liz but was absolutely clueless she had a twin? The entire house, more or less, has known about the twin twist for weeks but nobody does anything about it?

Vanessa wins HOH and because she’s paranoid about “blood on her hands” she somehow gets Clay to go on the block and he willfully accepts?? Ironically, Clay and Becky lose BOB and now Clay is primed to go home this week. To me, Clay deserves to go home because one of the golden rules of BB is to never voluntarily put yourself on the block regardless of how you feel your position is in the game.

@Junksies…I can see your link. Funny!!! I am sure that is how she feels everytime she ahs to flirt with or touch Austin!!!!!!

@My2Cents…..Clay was stupid to volunteer to be a pawn!!!!! NEVER do that!! People go home all the time that think they are totally safe!! He really needed to win the BOB! Now he has to win the Veto if he wants to feel totally safe!! And Van is big on never getting blood on her hand! The stop winning HOH!!! DUH!! Sometime I like her and think she is one smart cookie and sometimes I think she totally over analyses every word and is very OCD and drives me NUTS!!!! lol

Star, I wanted to agree with you about Steve. I’m not seeing what everyone else seems to be seeing. I wouldn’t mind seeing him go. S and C are feeling really safe. Shelli was totally stress eating or boredom eating. I would too if all that food was placed in front of me!
Ok-last post for me!

Austen was telling Janes that he and his girlfriend had split
up and didn’t want a girlfriend going into the game. James tried throwing the comp. why do that? Can you believe they were going to ask Johnny Mac to be nominated and throw another comp? Shelli had the good sense to say enough was enough
If asking JM.. Clay was the One suggesting it. Nice to look at but not the brightest crayon in the artbox.

I’m a little confused. I thought the game plan was to evict Austin by backdooring him.
Then I read some things about Clay might be the real target. Is this correct? When did
this come about and did Vanessa tell someone that that was the plan? I would think
it better to keep Clay around than Austin for a couple of reasons. Clay doesn’t seem to
be much good at competitions, not extremely bright, so no real threat at this stage. They
need his vote. Austin, of the other hand, is capable of winning both intellectual and phy-
sical comps. He hasn’t shown any real loyalty to anyone but Liz in the game. And you can’t count on his vote or him telling you the truth.He is a much bigger threat than anyone else in the house, except for Van and Shelli who seem to be queen competitors.
Clay thinks he’s a great competitor and brilliant, talking all the time and rarely making much real sense. If it were not for Shelli, who calms him down when he goes on a tangent, he would have lost it the first week. But I like the gentle and loving way he treats her. That is not always the case when it comes to high school and college jocks. Maybe it’s the concussions???

I also don’t like getting all of the blogs I’ve already read dumped into my email.. They used to come in as written????

Well Sissy I guess when you have 6 Children you have to get your point across in as few words as possible. {{{HUGS}}}

WOW..now we are blogging!! lol Lots of good comments to respond to!!

@jadeangel….I never really warmed up to Steve. We all like the underdog and sweet, scared little boy. As women I think we want to protect him. And I kept comparing him in my mind to Ian and thinking he would take off at some point! He is just super awkward socially(at least Ian has a reason to be and got popular anyway!!)He seems to hold grudges, lie a lot and hasn’t really formed any real bonds with anyone. I don’t see him as a threat tho so they may keep him to use as a pawn as the numbers go down. But he could go anytime and I doubt anyone would even notice!! lol

@Junksies…always enjoy and agree with your posts!! GMTA!! lol As to jackie, the reason she is with S&C is that she at least recognizes that they hold the power! And she has felt isolated all game because of Jeff. I think she would have done much better has she come in alone but then no one would have known who she was , so what’s the point??LOL Also, she is Beauty Contest/cheerleader pretty and I am sure used to being popular. Jock Clay and girl-next-door Shelli make her feel like she is in with the cool kids!!!

@sherry…totally agree with your assesment of Clay! I also thought the house wanted Austin out. But last night, the house was divided into whispering pairs in different rooms. C&S . A&L. V&Jackie. It was hard to hear what they were saying/plotting and I tended to not listen after awhile. I will dig around and if I hear anything I will let you know. I don’t LOVE Clay but at least he is eye-candy and really our ONLY, at this pint! I would MUCH rather see A-hole go…lol

@J&JTwins…….For some reason this blog has had server problems all season. I only clicked on those boxes one time a few years ago and my mailbox was so flooded, I turned them off permanently. It isn’t that hard to put this blog in your taskbar and click on the last post whenever you want to check. May seem like the long way around but I guess it depends on how often you check here and if you want to spend all day deleting emails. lol
