BB17 Day 21 - Julia reveals to Vanessa that her and Liz are twins
July 8, 2015
10:00-11:00 AM: Meg went to Clay and Shelli first thing in the morning, telling them that Audrey is back to her old self. She said that Audrey came outside last night to say that Austin, Liz and Vanessa are flipping the house against Meg. Meg said that the sketchy part that made her not believe it is that Audrey threw out Becky’s name as well, along with John’s and Steve’s. Meg said that the reason that she is freaking out is that if Audrey has the power then Da’Vonne will have the votes to stay. Meg pointed out that Audrey did this same thing last week, trying to keep Jace around. Clay and Shelli doubted that Audrey would want to keep Da’Vonne. Clay told her that Da’Vonne is just saying that she has four votes in order to try to get more people to vote for her. Shelli said that Vanessa has been telling Da’Vonne that she has her vote even though she doesn’t in reality. Meg thought that she should throw Audrey under the bus to Vanessa, since it’s the second week in a row that Audrey has tried to place blame on Vanessa for something. Clay and Shelli said that they are so annoyed with what Audrey is doing. Clay said that they need to ensure that people remain aware that Audrey is crazy. Shelli said that Audrey was smart to wait until after the veto ceremony to stir things up. She added that she would have nominated Audrey if this happened two days ago.
Jason spoke to John in order to fill him in on the fact that everyone thinks that Liz is playing the game with a twin. They went over the evidence that is building up to support that theory. Meanwhile, Meg checked in with Austin and discussed some of the rumours that are going around about the vote. Austin told Meg that he is voting for her 100%. He promised her and told her not to worry. Clay and Shelli went up to the HoH room and discussed that Audrey is lying about Liz having said she is voting for Da’Vonne because she saved her last week. Vanessa then made her way up to the HoH room to join them. Vanessa said that she was getting a weird vibe about Liz during the podcast last night and heard people talking about her. Shelli said that she has something to share about Liz, going on to tell her that a conspiracy theory is going around the house that Liz is playing the game with an identical twin. Vanessa already knew this because Steve told her, though she pretended that it was new news. They then discussed the stories that are not matching up when it comes to Liz. Clay said that they cannot tell Austin about this. Vanessa wondered if he knew already and was trying to get the twins in to the game together.
11:00-12:00 PM: Shelli and Clay continued talking to Vanessa, telling her that Audrey had a conversation with John and planted seeds that there is an alliance between Clay, Shelli, James, Jason, Jeff and Meg. Shelli also said that Audrey is claiming that she trusts Jeff more than she trusts them. Clay and Shelli explained that Audrey is trying to set it up so that the people on each side of the house will be against each other and she can float by. Shelli also suggested that there is a connection between Audrey and Steve, since both have been using the terms “insiders” and “outsiders” in reference to the divide in the house. They were also concerned that Jeff is now saying that Liz needs to go next, especially when they have heard that Audrey is saying that she trusts Jeff the most. Meg joined the others in the HoH room. They discussed rumours that have been going around. Meg said that as soon as Audrey knows that she is safe she begins to plot for next week in order to be safe then as well. Vanessa was able to get Meg to agree not to go after her next week in exchange for her vote this week. Vanessa explained that she has been making Da’Vonne feel as though she has a chance to get her vote but there is no chance that it will happen. Vanessa told Meg that they need to get Audrey out of the house next week. Meg said that everyone seems to be on board with that.
12:00-1:00 PM: Vanessa told Shelli that she will be a bad person if she betrays Audrey’s trust when Audrey really wasn’t at fault at all. Shelli said that she absolutely believes that Meg is telling the truth. Vanessa then discussed what she thinks that Audrey is doing. She explained that Audrey gets in to various alliances and then plants seeds of doubt about the people in the alliances. Vanessa told Clay and Shelli that they are Audrey’s #1 alliance but she is still trying to pit Clay and Shelli against Austin and herself. Vanessa also said that Audrey is planting a seed that Clay and Shelli are playing both sides of the house. Vanessa said that she understands that Clay and Shelli have to play their own game and talk to others in the house, though she hopes that she is at the top of the hierarchy with them. Shelli assured Vanessa that she is. Vanessa mentioned that Jeff tried to pull her in to an alliance. Shelli said that Jeff told them that Vanessa had approached him about an alliance, which led to Shelli saying that Jeff is becoming the male Audrey.
1:00-2:00 PM: Da’Vonne went to John and said that she knows that he is telling both her and Meg that they have his vote, so she needs to know if he is really voting for her. John said that he doesn’t think that he can at this point, since the whole house is going against her. Da’Vonne said that she knows who has the power so John needs to trust her because she has the votes. John asked who is voting for her. Da’Vonne said that she cannot reveal that, because she is scared, but she can tell him that she does know who has the power. John questioned if he would get in trouble moving forward if he made this move. Da’Vonne said no and that nobody will ever know. Da’Vonne also told him that she will have his back moving forward. John said “okay, let’s do it” and then the conversation ended.
Da’Vonne asked Audrey if she ran outside last night and told everyone that she is trying to flip the house, cause people are saying that. Audrey said that before Da’Vonne had even talked to her she did say that Liz told her that she was voting for Da’Vonne to say. Da’Vonne felt that it wasn’t a nice thing to do to tell people that she is campaigning, since she promised Meg that she would not campaign against her. Audrey told Da’Vonne that they can ask Meg what she said, because it wasn’t that she was trying to flip the house. Da’Vonne told Audrey that if she is actually telling the truth this time then she should go save herself because her name is being dragged through the mud. Audrey said that it’s silly that she takes the blame for things when every person in the house lies an exaggerates. Da’Vonne told Audrey that she is on the block and going home because of her. Da’Vonne explained that she is going home because she was the one to stand up to protect the house. Da’Vonne said that Audrey is playing a hell of a game and will go far since she was the only one that would take her out. Clay was in the room for it all and said that he doesn’t think that they will be able to agree on this. Da’Vonne said that they had an understanding last night.
2:00-3:00 PM: Clay told Audrey that she needs to let things go with Da’Vonne because she is going to create a target for herself. Audrey said that she already has a target. Audrey told Clay that Jeff and Meg are the only two people that she let know what Liz said to her. Audrey also went around to clarify that she went to Meg and Jeff before Da’Vonne spoke to her last night, not after. Da’Vonne told Clay that him and his woman nominated her over Audrey, which hurt her so much as a person. She told Clay that the move says that they trust Audrey, the liar, over her. Clay said that it’s not like that. He tried explaining that either Da’Vonne or Audrey would have stayed if they had nominated Audrey in Meg’s place, so that person that stayed could have came after them. Da’Vonne went to the bathroom alone and was crying. Vanessa comforted her. Da’Vonne told Vanessa that people are cowards and are going to send her home and continue to let Audrey skate by week after week.
Audrey head up to the HoH room where Shelli was sleeping. Audrey told her that Da’Vonne had just ripped her head off. Audrey explained that she had told Jeff and Meg that Liz said that she is keeping Da’Vonne, then later Da’Vonne came to her to squash things between the two of them. Audrey felt that somewhere along the way somebody exaggerated and said that she was telling people that Da’Vonne was trying to flip the votes. Shelli said that she doesn’t get it since obviously Da’Vonne would try to flip the votes. Audrey agreed but pointed out that Da’Vonne is lying to Meg about not campaigning. Audrey felt that another issue that Da’Vonne has is that she believes that Audrey went to Jeff and Meg after the talk between the two of them, which is not the case. Meanwhile, Da’Vonne was talking to Jason about how she is considering self evicting because she does not want to give these people the privilege of evicting her. Jason told her that she cannot do it and that he needs her to stay and enjoy this last day with him. Da’Vonne told Jason to stop trying to defend her, since she needs him to stay there and make it to the end for them.
3:00-4:00 PM: After Liz got out of the diary room, Da’Vonne approached her and asked her if she told Audrey that she was going to vote for her. Liz denied it. Liz explained that she told Audrey that Da’Vonne gave her the fast forward, so they have been talking about that but she does not know which way she is voting. Liz also explained that Audrey pulled her aside when she was trying to go to bed last night, so it was not that she was wanting to talk to Audrey. Da’Vonne said that she already knows that Audrey is full of it. Da’Vonne told Liz that her concern is that now some of the people that are speculating about Liz being a twin are now questioning if she brought that information to Liz in exchange for her vote. Liz assured Da’Vonne that she has not said a word about that, even to Austin.
4:00-5:00 PM: The houseguests received a practice apparatus for tomorrow night’s HoH competition. They each got to take 10 shots to practice. Liz spoke to Shelli and told her that she is going to be voting to keep Meg. She said that she definitely wants Da’Vonne to go and that Shelli has her vote. Shelli asked if what Audrey said was a lie. Liz said that it was. She explained that Audrey approached her when she was half asleep and she told Audrey that she did not know which way she was going to vote. Liz mentioned that she does not know if she can trust Audrey, so there is no way that she was going to tell her how she planned to vote.
6:00-7:00 PM: Shelli asked Audrey how she feels about Austin. Audrey said that she doesn’t feel good about him because he is too inconsistent. She added that Austin was on the right track when he didn’t trust Jeff, yet now he seems to be trusting him again. Shelli asked how Audrey feels about Jeff. She said that she doesn’t trust him. Audrey called Jeff a good politician and said that he is in a really good position in the house. She told Shelli that the only reason that she wouldn’t target Jeff is because of Clay. On top of that, she didn’t know who you could put up next to Jeff that would actually stay over him. Audrey said that the people that she trusts are Clay, Shelli and Vanessa. She also felt good about John since he shared a lot of information with her yesterday, unlike Steve who does not reciprocate. Audrey revealed that John feels as though he is with Steve and also feels good about Becky and Jeff. As for Vanessa, he felt good about her but thought that she was emotional and thus unpredictable. After Audrey left, Shelli spoke to Becky and Jackie. They both reassured her that they are voting Da’Vonne out. All three also agreed that Audrey needs to go next, even if Liz has a twin.
8:00-9:00 PM: Jeff told James that Steve should be the first one sent to jury. James asked what they are going to do about Liz. Jeff said that she will go after Audrey does. Meanwhile, Shelli was asking Jackie if Jeff is on board with getting Audrey out before Liz. Jackie said that he is. James spoke to Meg about who she would nominate if she won. She admitted to making a deal with Vanessa, so she is not an option. Meg said that she had to make the deal because if people were actually against her, Vanessa would have been leading the charge. Meg said that Audrey has got to go. James suggested nominating Audrey and Liz. Meg said that you have to backdoor Audrey.
Audrey went to Da’Vonne and told her that she wants to keep her but doesn’t know if she can get any other votes. Audrey said that Da’Vonne cannot share that she has her vote but she does. Da’Vonne said that this makes her nervous because she doesn’t know if she can trust Audrey. Audrey said that this week revealed a lot and people turned on the both of them. She also said that it’s revealing that people are keeping Meg rather than keep Da’Vonne around to come after her. Da’Vonne said that she will let Audrey know what she can do. Audrey said that Da’Vonne seemed to be getting somewhere with her earlier campaign, though she didn’t know if Da’Vonne could get Vanessa’s vote. Audrey assured Da’Vonne that she would not target her if she wins HoH and will also vote for her if she ends up on the block again. Da’Vonne said that Jason would need to be along for the ride. Audrey agreed.
9:00-10:00 PM: Da’Vonne went in to the have-not room alone and talked to the camera. She said that she doesn’t know what to do. She said that Audrey wants to work with her and will keep her in this game if she does. Da’Vonne laughed and said that the key for her to stay in this game is to work with Audrey.
12:00-1:00 AM: Da’Vonne told Audrey that she has the votes. Audrey asked if she got James. Da’Vonne said for sure. She then counted out James, Jason, Liz and herself, questioning who the fifth vote would be. Da’Vonne said that she cannot tell who it is but she has the votes and knows who has the power. Audrey said that these people are going to freak. Da’Vonne said that they flipped on her so she doesn’t care. They agreed that they will have to keep their distance from each other in order to not make things obvious. Da’Vonne told Audrey that people want to keep her in the game in order to take her out, but she cannot trust those people. Da’Vonne said that she only trusts Jason. She told Audrey that Shelli does not trust her and that she has been replaced. Audrey said that she knows and that Shelli abandoned her after things went down. Audrey asked if Da’Vonne is positive that she has the votes and that people are not just telling her that. Da’Vonne said that she is positive.
Da’Vonne told Jason that Audrey is going to vote for her to stay and wants to work together. She said that she will never work with Audrey but if she is going to vote for her she will take it. Da’Vonne said that after all that Audrey has done to her she will have to take her out of the game. Jason asked if she has Austin, Liz and Vanessa. Da’Vonne didn’t think that she would have Austin, because she can never get time alone with him. Da’Vonne was hoping to get Jason, Audrey, Liz and Vanessa. For the fifth vote, she hoped to get James, though she said that John and Steve are on standby. Jason said it’s still possible. He asked why Audrey wants to vote for her. Da’Vonne explained that Audrey knows that these people are after her and that she would be another target if there. Da’Vonne then went to Vanessa to ask if she is still good, cause she has the votes and is depending on her. Vanessa said that she is concerned that people will know which way she voted, depending on which votes are cancelled out. Vanessa told Da’Vonne that if it will be obvious which way she voted she may not be able to do it. Da’Vonne said that nobody will know but asked Vanessa to convince Austin to vote for her if she is scared. Vanessa said that she never gets alone time with Austin because he is always with Liz. Da’Vonne said that she will have to get Liz to do it then.
1:00-2:00 AM: Audrey told Jason that she had nothing to do with what happened this week. Jason said that he knows that she was not the mastermind this week. Audrey then asked if Jason thinks that people are telling Da’Vonne the truth about their votes. Jason said that he thinks that some of them are telling the truth. Audrey let Jason know that she told Da’Vonne that they will not be her targets. Jason said that he will not target Audrey either. Da’Vonne spoke to Jason and said that she has him, Audrey, Liz and Vanessa. As for the fifth and final vote, she thought that it would come down to Austin, John, James or Steve. Da’Vonne felt that it would be crazy if they all turned on her. Jason agreed.
2:00-3:00 AM: Liz and Vanessa discussed their votes. Vanessa said that they have to vote Da’Vonne out even though she does not want to. Vanessa explained that she knows that Audrey is planning something big and is going to set up the two of them and Austin to take the fall for it. Vanessa said that the fight between Da’Vonne and Audrey today was fake and they are working together. Vanessa said that she can expose Audrey but it will take about a day or so for it to all happen. Vanessa told Liz that they will have to make Da’Vonne believe that she has their votes 100%. Liz then asked who told Vanessa the rumour about her being a twin. Vanessa said that multiple people have said that it started from Da’Vonne. Vanessa asked if it is true, saying that it’s fine if it is and that she will want to work with them both if they get in to the game. Liz said that it’s true and that she has not yet told anyone. She said that she is going to cry right now. Vanessa informed her that people have caught on to the birthmark on her back, so they have to figure that out. It was at that point that “Liz” revealed that she is in fact Julia, not Liz. Vanessa replied with “nice to meet you”.
Vanessa continued to give Julia tips to help her out. Vanessa said that Liz told a story about cheating on a boyfriend once, so when people ask if she has cheated she has to say yes. Vanessa advised them to wear hats more, since their roots are different. Vanessa also said that Julia needs to eat more, since she is skinnier than her sister. Julia agreed. Julia told Vanessa that the only people that she is loyal to are her and Austin. She said that her and Liz have known since Day 1. Julia said that she wants to tell Austin too. She said that her and Liz have different bodies so she would be shocked if Austin has no idea. Vanessa felt that the best approach to get through this is to use the fact that they will have two votes as leverage to align with Austin, Clay and Shelli. Vanessa said that she almost trusts Shelli enough to tell her. Julia said that she would tell Shelli too. Vanessa asked if the twins can control when they switch. Julia said that production controls it and they are probably going to switch tomorrow. Julia mentioned that they were supposed to switch today but they didn’t.
Julia said that she talked to Liz today and told her that people know about them. Julia said that both her and Liz agreed that they need to tell Austin and Vanessa. Julia revealed that she is going after Audrey and James, adding that she hates James with a passion. Julia said that she is so relieved that she told Vanessa and that she is willing to work with her and Liz. Julia asked what she should do if someone says that she is a twin. Vanessa told her that she has to lie. Julia felt that she wasn’t good at the game because she is not a good liar. Vanessa assured her that she is hard to read and that her and her sister have been doing a good job. Julia said that she now needs to cover up and gain some weight. Julia again mentioned that she is so happy that she told Vanessa and she cannot describe how much she loves her. Julia informed Vanessa that they usually tell her about 30 minutes before they make a switch, so she will obviously let Vanessa know. Julia then went to bed.
3:00-4:00 AM: Vanessa went up to the HoH room and told Clay and Shelli that she has something really big to tell them. She started off by telling them that Da’Vonne thinks that she is flipping the house. She also said that she has seen Audrey, Da’Vonne and Jason whispering. Shelli said that she knew it. Vanessa suggested that they are working together and the fight between Audrey and Da’Vonne was fake. They agreed that they cannot trust Audrey and they are done with her. Vanessa said that she has Da’Vonne convinced that her and Liz are voting for her but they are not. Shelli told Vanessa that she was talking to Clay about the same thing. Vanessa then revealed that Liz is indeed a twin. Vanessa explained that she gave her permission to tell the two of them and Austin. Vanessa told them that the play is to align with the twins because that is an extra number for them if both make it in to the house. Clay and Shelli were on board with the plan. Vanessa said that they will get 30 minutes notice when the twins switch, so they will have to create some sort of distraction. Shelli said that she is so excited and she cannot wait to talk to Julia. They all agreed that they can make this work and deflect the target on to others for long enough to get both twins in to the game. Vanessa said that they will have such loyalty from the twins since they are their only shot. Vanessa even called Julia the most real person that she has talked to in the house.
