BB17 Day 13
June 30, 2015
10:00-11:00 AM: Clay spoke to Austin and told him Audrey has been playing them all and they cannot trust her. Clay said that even though Audrey is no longer with them, the remaining four in their alliance have to stick together. The four are Clay, Austin, Shelli and Vanessa. Clay also told Austin that Jeff helped him a lot with all of this. Austin played dumb and questioned about Audrey still being with them. Clay said that she is no longer with them. Austin said that he is on board with sticking to Clay, Shelli and Vanessa. Liz then broke up the talk. After Clay left, Austin told Liz that even Clay and Shelli are now against Audrey. Austin said that he played dumb with Austin and acted as though he didn’t know what was going on with Audrey.
Austin went to Jeff, who filled him in on last night’s events. Austin asked if the plan is still to get Jace out. Jeff said that Jace now has a bit more freedom to make a move due to the things that were exposed. However, Jeff told Austin that he will have to vote with the house. Austin said that he definitely will do that. Jeff promised to let Austin know which way the house ends up deciding on going. Jeff made it clear that Audrey cannot know that they are on to her. Jeff said that they are currently spinning things to Audrey as though Jace is going crazy. Jeff then went to Liz and explained the situation to her, emphasizing that Audrey cannot find out about this. Jeff said that Jace went crazy last night, throwing everyone under the bus and exposing Audrey. Jeff revealed that Audrey was only protecting Clay, Shelli and possibly Vanessa. He told both Austin and Liz that he is distancing himself from Clay since Clay was the last to get on board with the plan and he now has a lot of eyes on him.
11:00-12:00 PM: Vanessa asked John if he was trying to win the Power of Veto. John said that he was, explaining that he wanted people to see that they need to stop messing with him. John did not want people to think that he is someone easy to beat and therefore someone that they should keep using as a pawn to have him lose competitions. Vanessa told John that she has people that she does not trust but he is not one of them. John said that he feels the same way. Vanessa suggested a one week deal in which the two of them will not nominate each other. John said that he is on board with that. Jeff spoke to John and Vanessa about what happened last night, after Vanessa pointed out that Jeff seemed to be mad last night. Jeff said that there is someone spreading rumours about people and they decided to spread one about him last night. Jeff told them that he had to put a stop to it. He told Vanessa that this same person started a rumour about her being the mastermind. Vanessa said that she heard it and it was ridiculous, though she does not know who started it.
Jeff wanted to speak with the others to see how much he can say without looking like he is stirring the pot. Jeff did say that Jace’s campaigning did not change any votes and he is still going home, but he did expose some things that people did not want to say out of fear. Jeff mentioned that everyone then began connecting the dots and put everything together. After Jeff left, Vanessa asked John who Jeff was talking about. John said that no one has told him but if he has to guess he would guess that Audrey is the person that people are angry with. John said that Audrey being behind the rumours would make sense since she talks to everyone. That being said, John pointed out that she may not actually be starting rumours and people might have just made that up. John said that he doesn’t even want Jeff to confirm anything to him, seeing as it’s best for them not to know. Vanessa disagreed and said that she wants the information and is tired of being left out on so many things.
12:00-1:00 PM: Vanessa talked to Shelli about what happened last night. Shelli explained that the night started with drama surrounding Jace and then it eventually turned into everyone gunning for Audrey. Shelli said that it was apparently Audrey, not Da’Vonne, that made the rumour about the girls alliance. Vanessa became frustrated that she is left out of things. She told Shelli that she can read it on her face that she is treating her like she treats Steve and not wanting to talk to her. Shelli began to explain how crazy last night was and said that she trusts Vanessa and made that clear to Audrey even when Audrey was questioning Vanessa. Shelli admitted that Audrey had her questioning Vanessa for a moment, which upset Vanessa. Vanessa said that she really wanted to trust Audrey. She told Shelli that she has a good heart and is not the person running around talking to everybody. Da’Vonne entered the room and Vanessa questioned her about the girls alliance. Vanessa said that she heard from someone that Da’Vonne brought it up. Da’Vonne said that it was Audrey that started the rumour and came to her with it. Da’Vonne told Vanessa that Audrey is nervous about her because nobody knows where she stands.
1:00-2:00 PM: Audrey spoke to Da’Vonne and said that there is nothing empirical that she has done to Jason and Da’Vonne. She was upset that they did not stick up for her last night. Da’Vonne questioned if Audrey is sure about that. Audrey said that she is. Da”Vonne told Audrey to go on. She said that if Da’Vonne doesn’t trust her then it’s good to know that before next week. Da’Vonne explained that her name was tossed into the mud last night and she did not want to get in the middle of anything. Audrey said that she did not hear her name said once. Da’Vonne made it clear that she wasn’t buying it, though she clarified that she did not say that it came from Audrey. Audrey told Da’Vonne that she doesn’t want to hear that she has an issue with her if she wins HoH. Da’Vonne assured Audrey that she would tell her how she feels whether she is HoH or not.
Vanessa entered the have-not room with Audrey and Da’Vonne. Vanessa questioned Audrey as to why she said that Da’Vonne started the rumour about the girls alliance when Da’Vonne is telling her that she heard it from Audrey. Da’Vonne then called Audrey out for having just finished saying that she did not do anything against her but now she is hearing differently. Da’Vonne got up, said “game on” to Audrey, and walked out. A few minutes later, Da’Vonne returned and told Vanessa that she has never said anything about her except for that she does not know where she stands. Vanessa said that’s understandable. Audrey said it’s false and that she is glad that they don’t have to pretend to be friends anymore. Vanessa told Audrey that she had her back and cannot understand why she would turn on her like this. Da’Vonne gathered the alliance to join them and asked for confirmation that Audrey is the one that started the girls alliance rumour. They confirmed it. Vanessa told Audrey that she is two faced.
Audrey told the group that they are pathological liars. Jason quickly fired back that she is the pathological liar. Jason told Audrey that she is creating all of the mistrust in the house. Audrey questioned “like what?”. Jason said everything. Vanessa again asked Audrey to admit that she started the rumour about the girls alliance. Audrey did not. Da’Vonne told Audrey that she is going to blow her shit out of the water right now. Da’Vonne said that the proof is in the pudding. Audrey said that it is all BS, to which Da’Vonne replied that it’s Audrey’s BS. Da’Vonne eventually walked out, saying that she is about two seconds away from cracking Audrey in the face. Audrey began crying and said that she is fine because she knows that she did not do anything. She said that it sucks that people are believing a liar. Audrey said that Da’Vonne was the only one that spoke and that it didn’t confirm anything for her. Vanessa told her that Jason confirmed it. Audrey discounted that, saying that those two are together so it doesn’t mean anything. Clay came to check on Shelli, Vanessa and Audrey. He told Audrey that they have had her back through this all but there is only so much that they can do. Audrey said that she is willing to put her hand on the bible and say that it was Da’Vonne that said that everyone wearing black was in the girls alliance. Audrey told Shelli and Vanessa that it is Da’Vonne and Jason that they need to be concerned about, as those two are untrustworthy. Audrey told Shelli that she even pointed this out to her last night that she was getting a weird vibe from Da’Vonne and Jason.
2:00-3:00 PM: Clay had returned to speak to Audrey and Shelli. Both Clay and Shelli said that they do want to trust Audrey still. Clay said that they cannot jeopardize their games for her though. They told Audrey that it would be good if she is able to win HoH. Clay advised her to do some damage control and start admitting to stuff. Audrey said that she cannot admit to stuff that is not true. Clay told her that she has a week to talk to people one on one and settle things. He said that she cannot overreact and needs to stay calm. Clay told Audrey that Shelli and himself are her only shot if she stays in the game. Audrey admitted that this is her fault for not picking a side, explaining that it left her vulnerable to having Da’Vonne and Jason lie about her. Shelli remained in the room and talked things over with Audrey.
Vanessa went outside and talked to Austin, telling him that he is the only person that she has in the house. Austin said the same to her. Vanessa told Austin that he was the first person that she gave her loyalty to and she will stick to that. Austin said that he is with her until the end. Clay joined them and said that Audrey is out of the alliance but the remaining four need to be solid. Elsewhere, Clay pulled Shelli out of the room with Audrey after Jeff told Clay that people will lose trust in her for taking to Audrey so much. Vanessa then talked to Shelli and told her that Audrey is a pathological liar. Vanessa told Shelli that she cannot fall for it. Vanessa said that the evidence is clear that Audrey came up with the rumour. She said that the case is closed. Shelli said that she is glad that this all came to light now before it became too late. She mentioned that their Sleeper Cell alliance is now down to four people.
3:00-4:00 PM: Da’Vonne went to Vanessa and told her that her timing was perfect earlier, walking into the room just as Audrey had told her that she did not say anything about her. Da’Vonne said that Audrey needs to leave before her. Da’Vonne suggested that they unite as a house to take Audrey out, putting their personal agendas aside until she is gone. Shelli and Clay met up to discuss what to do about Audrey. Clay said that Audrey is a liability and that Da’Vonne is not making stuff up. Clay mentioned that Audrey talks in circles and she is very guilty. Shelli pointed out that they love Audrey as a friend but she could be harming their games. Clay said that he doesn’t think that Audrey had ever turned against the two of them but she is definitely looking out for herself and would cut them if needed. They compared notes and found out that Audrey had told each of them that they should take her over the other. They ultimately agreed that sticking with Audrey would put them at risk and make them the next targets after Audrey is gone. Clay said that they are now at the bottom of their alliance, so they need to work on their relationships with the main alliance and also with the Austin and Vanessa side alliance. Jace interrupted the talk and began questioning them about being in an eight person alliance. He assumed that based on how everyone was acting last night when the talks were going down. Clay said that they are currently aligned with no one, cause they thought that they were with Audrey. Jace began working for votes. Clay made it clear that they cannot sacrifice their own game for Jace, so he needs to prove to them that he has the votes locked in.
4:00-5:00 PM: Austin and Liz discussed what they should do now that they don’t know who to trust. Austin wondered if Audrey may be willing to out the eight person alliance. Austin thought that they could blow up that alliance just like Audrey was blown up. Austin told Liz to work on bringing Becky in, since he thinks that Becky is someone on the outside. They were concerned that Clay and Shelli are playing both sides. Liz suspected that Clay and possibly Jeff are the ringleaders. She thought that they could trust Jeff anyway. Austin mentioned that Jeff has a crush on Liz, which is something that she can use to her advantage. Austin told Liz that Vanessa is the only one that they can trust. He wanted to make Vanessa aware of the fact that she could trust Liz as well as himself. Jace later spoke to Liz and told her that he plans to gather people in a room together and ask for their votes. The group that he wants to gather consists of Clay, Shelli, Austin, Liz, Steve, John and Vanessa. Jace was starting to doubt that there really is a big eight person alliance. Liz explained that there has to be based on the people that got called to the room earlier during the Audrey and Da’Vonne conflict.
Audrey spoke to Jeff and asked him how exactly she betrayed him. Jeff said that she seemed to be pushing her agenda to keep Jace around and to put the heat on him during their meeting at 6 AM the other day. Audrey said that the people that she trusts the most are Jeff, Clay, Shelli and Meg. Jeff said that he has heard that Audrey started rumours about him and Meg and also about things that he said about Austin. Audrey said that she has never thrown Jeff under the bus. Audrey said that she feels as though Da’Vonne is being an opportunist and stirring stuff up. Audrey mentioned that Da’Vonne has been creating conspiracy theories on a daily basis. Jeff said that there has to be some truth to the matter and she needs to be honest. Audrey denied it and said that Da’Vonne and Jason see her as a threat and that’s why they are making stuff up about her. Audrey questioned why she would have put together this alliance only to exploit it. Audrey then had Austin join them to question him about what she had told him about Jeff. Austin said that he doesn’t remember, has started fresh with Jeff and doesn’t even care anymore. Austin said that he does not want to get involved with this.
5:00-6:00 PM: Audrey and Austin continued to talk. Austin said that he is trying to figure out if there is an eight person alliance. Audrey confirmed that there was. She figured that he had heard through Da’Vonne. Austin said that he figured it out cause James mentioned wanted an eight person alliance from the beginning. Audrey told Austin that James was well aware that the Five Alive alliance was not going to happen from the start. Audrey begun crying and said that she swears that she did not make the girls alliance rumour up, yet Vanessa will not believe her. Austin told Audrey that her best bet is to start talking to the outsiders. He asked what deal is with Clay and Shelli. Audrey said that she believes that they still want to work with her but they cannot sabotage their own games. Audrey said that they have made it clear that they will not try to win HoH this week. Austin thought that they may be able to work on Jeff if he were to find out that Clay and Shelli are playing both sides. Austin asked if she can trust Clay, to which Audrey responded that she does not know. She said that Clay is trying to be friends with everyone, which was her downfall. Audrey said that she has no reason to cover the tracks of those that threw her under the bus at this point. She told Austin that she wants to tell him everything but there are two people that she needs to talk to out of respect first.
Audrey spoke to Clay and Shelli, telling them that she plans to target those that pretended to be her friends. Audrey revealed that her only move is to out the eight person alliance to Austin. Audrey said that she cannot do it without blowing up Clay and Shelli’s games, though she also cannot just let herself get evicted. Clay pleaded with Audrey to wait until after the HoH competition. She said that she cannot, adding that she wouldn’t believe someone that talked to her only after HoH. Audrey mentioned that she has already been approached about an alliance. She did not want to name names, which led to Clay saying that he cannot work with Audrey. Clay asked Audrey to at least let him talk to Austin first, since he told Austin that the big alliance did not exist. Audrey was not okay with that. Clay then told Audrey that she does not want to be associated with her. He said that she is only worrying about her own game. Audrey said that Clay just wants to keep himself in the middle, which he admitted to. Clay got frustrated in left, leaving Shelli with Audrey. Shelli was more open to hearing Audrey out.
6:00-7:00 PM: After talking to Audrey, Austin went to Jace to tell him that there is indeed a big alliance in the house. They discussed that need Audrey on their side if they are going to be able to flip the vote. Jace went to Liz and filled her in on the plan. She asked who the votes to evict Jackie would be. Jace said it would be Liz, Austin, Audrey, Becky, Vanessa, Steve and John, which he claimed are the outsiders in the house. Audrey began talking to Austin again, telling him that he can trust Clay. Austin said that he has a plan in place to keep Audrey safe and to bring her in. He said that she will need to talk to Vanessa and to Jace. Audrey revealed the members of the eight person alliance. She told Austin that since he was the only person to give her an opportunity, she will never nominate or backdoor him.
Audrey talked to Vanessa, saying that she is sticking with her story that she did not make up the girls alliance. She admitted to having questioned Vanessa but she said that Da’Vonne was the one that made up the girls alliance rumour. Audrey proceeded to reveal the group of eight to Vanessa. She told Vanessa that she can talk to Shelli and find out that she never saw it as a real alliance and that she has been questioning Da’Vonne and Jason for days now. Vanessa said that she doesn’t know what to believe anymore, as someone is lying to her face. Vanessa asked who the initial target was. Audrey said that Jace was always the target and James has been lying about it being a last minute change of plans. Vanessa said that she is confused and that she hated Audrey for 20 minutes earlier. Audrey said that she is willing to vote Jackie out if it will build trust back with her. Vanessa said that she will think about what Audrey said and let her know if there is anything that she can do.
7:00-8:00 PM: Vanessa went to Clay and said that she does not know who to believe anymore. Clay agreed. Clay began informing Vanessa about the alliance of eight. He said that it was never real to him or to Shelli and that they had to go along with it. Vanessa said that she understands. Clay told Vanessa that the only people that he trusts are her, Austin and Shelli. Audrey next talked to Jace, telling him about the plan to backdoor him from the start. Audrey said that she would love to keep Jace this week. She explained that James, Da’Vonne and Jason have been masterminding everything. Audrey told Jace that his best hope is to get Vanessa to work on some people for him if she feels that it is best for her game to keep him there. Audrey suggested telling Steve that Da’Vonne said that he had told her that he wants to be her “Jason”.
Vanessa told Austin and Shelli that she asked James if the plan was to backdoor Jace from the start and he lied to her face, swearing that it was a last minute decision. Austin said that he is not targeting Audrey if he wins HoH next week. He said that he is going after James. Vanessa said that she is on board with that, given that James is the one lying to her face. After Shelli left, Vanessa told Austin that if they save Jace she will need a guarantee that Austin would take Jace over her if they get to the end together. Austin said yes and that Vanessa is his Final 2 no matter what. Vanessa said that she could see them getting Clay and Shelli on board to vote Jackie out. Vanessa then went to Audrey and said that she needs her 100% loyalty over everyone else if she makes this move. Audrey said absolutely.
8:00-9:00 PM: Jace asked Steve to talk. He got him alone in a room and said that he knows that Steve was a pawn from Day 1 in a plan to backdoor
him. Jace said he knows that Steve went to Da’Vonne and told her that she wants to be her Jason. Jace then told Steve that he is the only person that had his back. Jace explained that Steve is the next go and he is screwed. Jace told Steve that he should feel like a terrible person for turing on him. Steve apologized for hurting Jace, saying that it was never his intention. Jace told Steve that he is lying and he is not very good at it. Jace continued to grill Steve, calling him Judas at one point. Jace eventually told Steve that he has a big plan but he will not tell him what it is yet. Jace said that he needs to see if he can trust Steve first. Jace told Steve that this conversation cannot get out. Steve agreed with that.9:00-10:00 PM: Austin and Jeff discussed that Clay has been doing exactly what Audrey has been doing. Jeff told Austin about a concern with Clay running to Audrey. Austin went back to Clay with the info, then Clay ran back to Jeff with it even though he was told not to. Jeff said that he will test Clay once more and if he fails it then he will ditch Clay and roll with Austin. Jeff suggested that the two of them should start playing both sides as well. They agreed to keep an eye on Clay. Austin went to Vanessa to fill her in on what happened with Clay and Jeff. Austin said that they can trust Jeff since he wants to start working with their side. The two agreed that it will be impossible for them to save Jace this week. Austin and Jeff began talking again. Austin said that he doesn’t get where Clay is coming from. Jeff placed the blame on Shelli. Austin thought that they were trying to get a free ride, playing both sides. They discussed who they should work with moving forward. Austin asked if Jeff could pull Meg over from the big alliance. He said yes and that he could even pull James if they decided on that.
10:00-11:00 PM: Clay asked Shelli and Vanessa why Jeff is being sketchy. Vanessa said that it’s because Austin went to Clay with information and then he ran back to Jeff with it. Shelli said that Austin did that in confidence and Clay should not have went to Jeff. Meanwhile, Jeff told Liz that he doesn’t know if they can trust Clay as much as they thought. Jeff figured that Shelli was clouding Clay’s judgment. Clay then made his way outside and began talking with Austin and Jeff. They ended up discussing who they should align with. Jeff thought that they should pull Jackie in. Austin and Clay were thinking that Vanessa could be an option. Jeff wasn’t so sure about that. Clay and Jeff spoke alone and Jeff told Clay that he needs to come to him first with stuff. He did not want Clay going to Shelli or anyone else first. Clay revealed that right around when things were blowing up with Audrey, Audrey tried to set up an alliance with him, Shelli, Vanessa and Austin. Clay said that they wanted to talk to Jeff to pull him in, which made Jeff feel that he was nothing more than an afterthought. Clay explained that nothing had been finalized and that everything was happen just as they were catching on to Audrey so they could not do anything. Now that things blew up, Clay said that they could create something and replace Audrey with Jeff. They continued to discuss things but Jeff wasn’t too fond of the idea. He was unsure of why Clay trusts Austin so much. Jeff said that Ausin is a big question mark. Clay said that he feels the same way about James, someone that Jeff thought about bringing in.
11:00-12:00 AM: Clay, Jeff and Shelli discussed that they need to settle on a final alliance to work with moving forward. Shelli said that right now there isn’t even one alliance in the house, since everyone keeps flipping and turning on each other. Jeff suggested that they bring in Jackie. He said that he trusts Jackie with his Big Brother game. They also said that they could bring in Meg. They wanted no more than six people involved. Shelli suggested Vanessa for the final spot. Jeff was still uneasy about that, saying that he has never really talked to her. There was also some concern about her being close to Austin. They agreed to think things over and check back in prior to the next HoH competition.
12:00-1:00 AM: Audrey spoke to Steve in order to fill him in on the eight person alliance. She also told him that Da’Vonne mentioned that he said that he wanted to be her Jason and that’s why he is lurking around all the time. Audrey said that Da’Vonne is also accusing her of making up a rumour that she started. Steve asked Audrey if she wants to flip the vote. Audrey said that she would love to. She thought that Becky would be the swing vote if it were to happen. They discussed that Jace’s campaigning is doing damage and someone else should be rallying the votes. Audrey suggested that Steve speak to Vanessa. She told him that Austin is on board as long as the votes are there.
James went to Audrey and asked why she is spreading rumours. Audrey said that she has been in bed all day. He said that everyone is talking about an eight person alliance. He questioned how Audrey feels that blowing up everybody is benefiting her. Audrey continued to place the blame on Da’Vonne and Jason for what went down, saying that they went to an extreme level to turn everyone against her. She pointed out that those two will always validate what each other says, making it impossible for her to defend herself. Audrey told James that she has never said that she doubted him, even though she expressed concerns about Da’Vonne and Jason. She told him that her only agenda is to right the wrongs that have taken place. James encouraged Audrey to mingle with the others instead of staying in bed all day. Audrey explained to James and Vanessa that she has already made herself vulnerable with this whole experience, since she never left her house and was always with her parents. Audrey said that it was tough to get screamed at and lied about on national television and she is trying not to quit. James and Vanessa continued to encourage her, saying that she fought hard to be there and needs to stay. Vanessa reminded her that things are not personal, while James said that it is just Big Brother.
1:00-2:00 AM: Jace told Austin that nobody in the house is loyal to their alliances. He said that the people in the house are horrible and he does not want to stay another day with them. Jace said that not a single person in there has a conscience. He claimed that the house is full of degenerates. Jace said that everyone is horrible and he hopes that America sees it. Austin said that he does not know if it is that serious. Jace said that he wanted to put everyone on blast. Jace said that the only good people in the house are Austin, Liz and Vanessa. He then went over to a large group of houseguests and questioned what an alliance is if everybody in the alliance is going throw everybody else in the alliance under the bus. He said that everyone is talking about each other behind each other’s backs, then it gets around. He said that it’s the worst season in the history of Big Brother, because nobody sticks to alliances.
2:00-3:00 AM: Jace told Clay that people needed to know how he felt. He said that at least in past seasons people would stick to alliances, unlike this season. Clay admitted that Shelli had just finished saying that to him also. Clay said that the only person that he trusts is Shelli. Clay pointed out that Jace got in a bad spot and it’s unfortunate. Jace said that it’s okay and he knows that Clay is not a bad person. Jace mentioned that he deserves to go at this point, which Clay disagreed with. Jace told Clay that he fears that he will be hated by America. He added that he was picked on his whole life and it sucks to be picked on in the house as well. Jace let Clay know that he told the producers that he doesn’t want to stay. Clay told Jace that he is mad at himself for not doing more for him, cause he could have. Jace told Clay that it’s fine. He pleaded with Clay to realize that he can be himself in this house and still win the game, so don’t ever forget that. Clay then said that Jace seriously deserves to be there more than he does. Jace said that he has a sealed coffin and Clay needs to stop beating himself up. Jace did tell Clay to defend him if he cares about him, adding that he would have carried Clay to the end and never would have turned his back on him. Jace told Clay that he hopes that his sacrifice will make Clay more aware that the people that he is with are untrustworthy. Jace said that he does not trust them. Clay then went to Audrey, hugged her, and apologized for the way that he had acted towards her earlier.
3:00-4:00 AM: Jeff, James and Meg discussed that the alliance of eight is shattered and exposed. Jeff said that they need to think about who they can really trust to keep an alliance a secret and get them to the end of the game. Jeff told James that others within the alliance are already making these deals, so he should not feel bad about talking about it. Jeff said that their first mistake was bringing too many people in and filling outsiders in on details of the alliance. Jeff said that he trusts Clay but he doesn’t feel good about Shelli. He said that Shelli will not help them get to the end of the game and Clay will pick her over them. James and Meg agreed. They agreed that they do not want Da’Vonne in the group. Jeff said they could get Jason but he doesn’t know how you get Jason without bringing her in. Jeff and Meg did not want to bring Becky on board. They all discussed that Jackie could be a good option.
