BB17 Day 14 - Audrey and Jace attempt to flip the votes
July 1, 2015
10:00-11:00 AM: Jace spoke to Vanessa and told her about a new plan that he has in place. He intends to wake seven people up at 5 AM tonight, bringing them all in to the storage room to talk to him and to make an agreement with each other to vote to keep him. The votes that he is going to attempt to get are from Vanessa, Austin, Liz, Steve, Shelli, Clay and Audrey. Jace explained that he now thinks that he might be able to get Clay and Shelli on board since Clay was pretty much crying to him last night, saying that he feels terrible about being in on the plan to backdoor him. Jace said he will tell Clay that he can right the wrong by voting to keep him. Vanessa said that she tried to work for Jace by talking to Clay and Shelli, but she doesn’t see them voting for Jace. Vanessa suggested that Jace could work on getting Becky’s vote. He said that he would try if he cannot get Shelli and Clay to flip.
11:00-12:00 PM: Jace told Steve that tonight he is going to wake him up around 5 AM, at which point he needs to go to the storage room and wait there because a meeting will be taking place. Jace explained that there will be seven voters in the room, along with him, and he is going to talk to everyone in order to see if they can reach an agreement to keep him. Jace then went to Clay and said that he will be getting him and Shelli up at 5 AM if things work out. Jace told Clay that the things that he did last night were so that people would never suspect that they would be working together or that he would be trying to put a plan in place. Austin spoke to Jace and said that he doesn’t believe Clay will actually flip his vote, even though he may say that he will. Austin suggested that Jace may have to blow up Clay’s game.
While most of the houseguests went back to bed, Austin and Liz decided to chat. They agreed that Jace has gone off the deep end. Austin said that he doesn’t want to be caught in the storage room with Jace tonight, since it could damage their games. Liz agreed. They felt that they could trust Jeff and they didn’t want to risk damaging that relationship. As for Clay, they agreed that he could not be trusted. Austin pointed out that if it came down to it they could make a move against Clay next week, making him the next Audrey since he is playing both sides. As for Jace, Liz pointed out that even though they love Jace, he is going and there is nothing that they can do about it without putting their own games at risk. Austin agreed and said that Jace has to go. He figured that the fans would begin to root for them more with Jace out of the picture.
4:00-5:00 PM: Jace told Steve that James made an alliance with him on Day 1, then went back on it to backstab him. Steve was surprised by that. Steve revealed that James told him that he was a pawn and that he was going to backdoor Jace all the way back on Day 3. Jace told Steve that he is being bullied by some people in this house and he needs to help him flip the vote. Steve admitted that James used him this week. Jace said that he is unsure of whether or not he will still call his meeting. He explained that the two people in the big alliance that he thought that he could get, he is now unsure of. While he didn’t name names, he was referring to Clay and Shelli. Steve asked Jace if there is anything that he can do for him. Jace said that if he can’t get those two people, he would need Becky and John to flip. Jace asked Steve if he is close with either of them. Steve said that he is only close with them on a personal level. Jace figured that he had no shot at Becky’s vote. Steve said that he should try anyway. Jace was worried that Becky would blow up the plan, though Steve pointed out that he is going home anyway if Becky doesn’t vote for him. Jace said that he would think about it.
Jace quickly talked to Audrey and informed her that he is unsure about Clay and Shelli at this point. He didn’t know if he could get their votes anymore. Audrey said that it’s possible that she could get James to help him out if she is able to expose some cracks in the alliance. Audrey mentioned that she is think that Jeff may have made up the rumour about Meg and himself in order to have something to use against her to take her down. Audrey then spoke to Vanessa and asked her if Jeff was the person that told her stuff that made her upset with Audrey. Vanessa didn’t want to name any names. She did tell Audrey that John was with her when she was given the information, so John could confirm it but she will not. Meanwhile, Jace was in the bedroom and engaged in a back and forth with Jeff briefly. After Jeff left the room, Jace told James that he really screwed him over and it really sucks. Jace admitted that it was a smart game move. That being said, Jace told James that he better hope that he doesn’t stay or return to the game, as he will target him first.
5:00-6:00 PM: Audrey spoke to Jace and said that she is going to play the only card that she has, approaching James and telling him that she is someone that he can use. Audrey wanted Jace to help her in throwing Jeff under the bus to James. Audrey plans to tell James that the two of them can secretly work together with Da’Vonne and Jason. She said that she will explain that Jeff is currently on the bottom of the alliance. Jace said that he hates Jeff and is willing to go along with Audrey’s plan to throw Jeff under the bus.
6:00-7:00 PM: Audrey went to James and asked who he trusts most in the alliance. James said that the alliance is pretty much blown up at this point. Audrey then said that she knows for a fact who leaked the song. She said that it’s the same person that went to Vanessa and John to get them worked up against her. Audrey revealed that it was Jeff. She said that Jeff also told Jace that she is a mole. Audrey explained that Jeff told Jace to make sure that he blew up her game before leaving, which is why he was so against her and spreading lies about her. Audrey said that Jeff is getting close to Austin for a reason. James felt that he was getting close to Liz too. Audrey eventually told him that Jeff is targeting James and he is getting Austin on board with taking James out. She said that this would be an ideal opportunity to form an alliance between herself, James, Da’Vonne and Jason, seeing as it is something that nobody would see coming. She also begun pushing for a vote flip in order to save Jace. Audrey suggested that there is a connection between Jeff and Jackie that could be trouble as well. James asked if he would be the target for Austin and Jeff. Audrey said that she is likely still the first target but he would be a secondary target. Audrey suggested working together against their mutual target, Jeff. James wanted confirmation of the things that Audrey is saying. She told him to talk to Jace and he will confirm it all.
7:00-8:00 PM: Audrey went to Jace and told him that he needs to throw Jeff under the bus as much as he can. She told Jace that James is convinced. Meanwhile, James went to Meg to quickly fill her in on his talk with Audrey. Meg said that she has not once hear James’ name mentioned as a target. She also said that Jeff has talked to her privately about continuing to work with James moving forward. Jace interrupted and began talking to James. He said that an ally of James’ came to him and leaked information because he thought that James was going to backdoor him. Jace told James that it would be best for his game to flip the votes and keep him around in order to help get that person out. Without James’ help flipping the votes, Jace said that he didn’t want to name any names and help James out. He did mention that this person is aligned with Jackie, which gives even more reason to make this move and evict Jackie. Jace eventually mentioned Jeff by name and said that he would take Jeff out as well as anybody associated with him. Jace asked James to get Da’Vonne, Jason, Clay and Shelli on board, because he promises that he will be able to get 3-4 votes on his own. James said that he will let Jace know later on how things go. Jace went to Austin, Liz and Vanessa, filling them in on the plan. While he did not give all of the details, he said that James may be working to flip some votes for him. He asked if they will vote for him if he gets the numbers. They all said yes. Jace promised that he will not ask for their votes unless he is certain that he has enough votes to stay.
8:00-9:00 PM: James talked to Da’Vonne and Jason about what Audrey and Jace have been telling him. He said that Jeff is the one that leaked the song. Da’Vonne figured that Audrey was saying this because she is targeting Jeff. As for James being a target, both Da’Vonne and Jason said that they have not heard that at all. James revealed that Audrey wants to work with him, Jason and Da’Vonne since nobody would suspect it. Jason said that not even he would believe that alliance. They both told James that they may work with Audrey if she wins HoH but they will not get on board with her any sooner than that. Da’Vonne pointed out that Audrey and Jace have been spending a lot of time together and may have come up with this whole story together. Da’Vonne said that Audrey still needs to go if she does not win HoH this week. As for flipping the vote, Jason told James that even if Jeff was the leak, that is not a reason to evict Jackie. Afterwards, James told Jace that Da’Vonne and Jason did not seem to be on board. Jace then asked James if he could talk to Steve, John, Clay and Shelli. James wasn’t too receptive to the idea and said that he would see what they can do later.
11:00-12:00 AM: Audrey and Jace continued plotting. Audrey suggested that Jace could throw Jeff under the bus in her speech. She wanted him to say that Jeff asked Jace to blow up her game because he wanted Audrey to target Da’Vonne and Jason. Audrey also suggested that Jace try to get a pity vote from Clay without letting him know that he has a number of other votes. Jace questioned why it is that Clay hates him. Audrey said that Clay's loyalty is to Jackie in this case, because of his relationship with Jeff. Shortly thereafter, Jace came back to Audrey to inform her that he has a crazy plan to say in his speech that Jeff and Jackie have a secret deal going that they get $50,000 if they survive until Week 4 together. Jace said he would then explain that Jeff confided in him prior to the veto ceremony because he thought that he was the one being backdoored. Jace continued on by saying that he will tell people that Jeff offered him $10,000 if he could protect him until the point that he won the money. Audrey didn’t think that people would believe the story. She told Jace to go through with the plan but also to work on getting Clay’s vote.
Jeff spoke to James about working together moving forward. As they had discussed the other night, they plan on creating a smaller group that they can stick with. Jeff said that Clay wants to work with them but the problem is that Shelli comes along with Clay. Jeff did not want to work with her. James filled Jeff in on the campaigning that Jace did, including that he said Jeff was the one to leak the song. Jeff told James that it is a boldfaced lie. Jeff confronter Jace about it just minutes later. Jeff said that he did not tell Jace about the song. Jace stuck to the story and said that Jeff did indeed tell him. Jeff told Jace that he is playing an Audrey game and he needs to admit that he is out of there. Jeff went on to say that even Jace’s friends have ratted him out. Jeff told Jace that he needs to stop going around trying to bully people during his campaigning as well. Jeff said that he is going to laugh and Jace as he keeps doing what he’s doing. Jace said that he can go ahead, since he will be walking out with his head held high if he does indeed leave. Jace then went in to a room alone and told the feeders that his plan if he stays or comes back is to go straight for James because he is the biggest liar in the house. Meanwhile, Jeff went around the house and told people about what happened between him and Jace. He also pulled Jason aside to talk to him about forming a new alliance. Jeff said that James is on board and that Meg is as well, so he would love to have a Final 4 with them. Jason said that he would love it as well. Jeff mentioned that he needs to separate himself from Clay since Clay is too focused on Shelli.
1:00-2:00 AM: Clay filled Shelli in on Jace’s plan to wake up his potential voters at 5 AM and bring them all in to a room together. Clay said that he may have to miss that meeting. Jace came by to talk to Clay and Shelli. He told them that it’s almost impossible to get the votes. He said that he has been trying things but so many people were involved in the plan to backdoor him that it just wont work. Jace said that it would be unfair of anyone to target Austin just for being friends with him. He admitted that he likely wont even bother asking Austin for a vote now, since everyone else seems to be too scared to change their vote and he does not want Austin to blow up his game. Shelli asked it Jace is kind of ready to leave at this point, to which he replies yes. Clay and Shelli discussed that they do not want to go after Audrey. Shelli felt that Audrey has done some things that are wrong but so has the rest of the house. They had some discussions about going after Da’Vonne first.
Jace rejoined Clay and Shelli and was questioned about who mentioned the song to him first. He said that it was Jeff that told him before the veto ceremony. Shelli grilled Jace about why he was so surprised to be nominated if so. Jace told her that he knew about it but wasn’t 100% sure he was going up. Clay confirmed that Jace did have some suspicions that he would go up. Jace also told Clay that Jeff does not trust him and that he has been planting things with Clay to see if they get back around. After Jace left, Shelli told Clay that it was definitely Audrey that leaked the song. They agreed on that and figure that Audrey and Jace have been coming up with plans together and are planting things about Jeff. Clay told Shelli that Audrey is a manipulator and that you cannot believe anything that she says, even though she is their friend. Clay said that he doesn’t question Jeff’s loyalty but he thinks that Jeff is playing too many people. Jace eventually returned again and said that he probably wont call his 5 AM meeting, because he can’t trust the people not to out each other for being there, which would blow up games.
Audrey filled Steve in on some things, including that she offered a deal to Jason, James and Da’Vonne. She said that multiple people witnessed James bringing Da’Vonne and Jason up to the HoH room, so she can use that against them if they try to exploit her. Steve said that’s a good Plan B but Audrey needs to win HoH. She told him that it would be great if they won together. Her plan would be to backdoor Jeff at this point. Audrey explained some of the things that Jeff has done. Steve asked if Audrey is saying that Jeff is the puppet master. Audrey said that he is and that he is doing a good job of it. Audrey asked for some tips on what she should do socially. Steve told her that she isn’t really a target at the moment, since she has no allies. He said that she is playing the Dan Gheesling BB10 Week 1 game. Audrey said that it is her strategy. Steve then went to Vanessa. Vanessa mentioned that working with Audrey is a potential option. Steve’s reaction made it seem as though he thought that it was a bit crazy. The two agreed to look out for each other and said that they need to start something up with the people on the outside of the big alliance.
4:00-5:00 AM: Shelli asked Jace if he has been scheming with Audrey. Jace said no and that there is no master plan. He said that their talking started with an apology and the only plan that he had was to get Clay, Shelli and about 4-5 others in to a room together but he couldn’t trust them all. Jace said that he has no plan left at this point, as there is nothing that he can do. Shelli mentioned that everyone knows about the big group in the house. Jace told her that he know she could get Austin, Liz and Vanessa, so he would just need her, Clay, Steve and Audrey. Shelli said that it would just blow up the house. Jace agreed and said that’s why he has decided against making the move. A short while later, James filled in numerous people, including Clay, Jeff and Shelli, about Audrey’s whole plan that she came to him with today.
