BB17 Day 32
July 19, 2015
1:00-2:00 PM: Audrey approached Austin and Clay, saying that she needs to get on the same medication as everyone else, implying that she doesn’t get how else they could all be calm all the time. The talk eventually turned into Clay telling Audrey that she is paranoid and she should not feel that way with Shelli in power. Audrey said that she isn’t worried about this week. Clay pointed out that she asked him to swear to her that Shelli is not going to backdoor her. Audrey denied saying that. They then got into it over whether or not Audrey has done anything to help Clay and Shelli in the game. Audrey said that she always reports the information that she learns, yet people overlook it. Clay said that her information is often tainted and not credible, so they have to confirm it with other sources. They also debated whether or not Audrey is still upset about Shelli throwing her under the bus to Jason the other day. Audrey insisted that she had a bad day and got over it, so she took offense to Clay suggesting that she is still holding on to that. Audrey said that she is being held to a double standard, since people doubted her for a whole week and that was fine, yet she was upset for a few hours and he is holding it against her and making her feel as though she should be ashamed of herself for questioning Shelli. Audrey asked why she was not allowed in to the HoH room just prior to nominations. Austin said that they did not all want to be seen together as a group. She said that nobody explains these things to her. The back and forth continued until Clay got up and left.
Up in the HoH room, Shelli told Vanessa that Audrey was happy that she won the PoV and is expecting her not to use it. Vanessa said that she feels terrible but she needs to get over it, since Audrey turned on her. She said that it feels as though there is a war between her head and her heart, and she knows that her head has to win. Shelli said that she feels the same way. Shelli explained that she was very emotional about this yesterday morning but by last night she was 100% on board. Shelli told Vanessa that she is upset about the position that Audrey has put her in. Vanessa figured that Audrey’s plan is to get to the end with the both of them and have them not trust each other so that they will both take her. Clay eventually joined Shelli and Vanessa, telling them that he almost blew up on Audrey. He said that Audrey continues to go back to playing the victim and saying that no one understands how she feels. Audrey knocked on the HoH room door, asking Shelli to mediate the discussion between her and Clay. Clay told her that he wants to talk to Shelli alone, then Audrey can have her time with her.
2:00-3:00 PM: Audrey was allowed in to the HoH room. Clay, Shelli and Vanessa were all there. Audrey told Shelli that Clay is trying to tell her how she thinks and feels. She suggested that this stems to something deeper with Clay. They got back in to debating whether or not Audrey adds value to their games. She mentioned bringing information to them, while Clay continued to say that her information needs to be validated due to what has gone on with her. They circled back to the topic of Audrey asking Clay to swear that Shelli will not backdoor her, which Clay felt was a sign that Audrey does not trust them. Shelli said that Clay is correct that there is a lack of trust. Vanessa said that when Audrey doesn’t trust them fully it makes her question why they should trust her fully. Vanessa asked Audrey if she has had concerns about her. Audrey said that she told her the other day that she doesn’t know where she stands with Steve. Vanessa said that she doesn’t recall that. Vanessa asked if she is still concerned about it afterwards. Audrey said that she was. Vanessa said that Audrey is calling her a liar then by feeling that way. Clay then questioned Audrey about the Final 2 deal that she claims that Vanessa approached her about. Audrey said that Vanessa told her that at a certain point they know that Shelli will choose Clay over her. Vanessa then raised her voice, saying that Audrey was the one that said it.
Vanessa told Audrey that she no longer has any loyalty to her after that lie. She then told Clay that Audrey throws him under the bus every day. Audrey swore on her life that the conversation with Vanessa happened. She said that she is fine if she goes home this week, cause she will go with her integrity. Audrey said that Vanessa is an amazing manipulator and it was shown when she set the whole thing up to get Jeff evicted as if it wasn’t the plan all along. Vanessa said that she must have been way drunker than she thought if she doesn’t remember Final 2 deals that she made. Vanessa said that Audrey constantly plants seeds of doubt to people within their alliance. She added that she had Audrey’s back so much but then Audrey starts manipulating as soon as the HoH changes. Clay said that Audrey can act like she is playing a clean game and she is loyal to them, yet she is not. Audrey told Clay that he will feel stupid once this is all over. Clay said that he is willing to take that chance. Clay told Audrey that she is a liar and that he has facts and proof to back it up, though he will not out the people that he gave his word to.
Audrey and Shelli chatted alone. Shelli told Audrey that it offends her when Audrey says that she has no one and that nobody has put themselves in her shoes. Shelli told Audrey that all of the arrows are pointing towards her right now. Audrey said that she cannot defend herself anymore and she can’t control it if Shelli feels that her game is better off without her. Audrey told Shelli that she knows in her heart that she has not gone out of her way to genuinely betray her. Audrey called Vanessa an amazing game player that knows what she is doing. Audrey suggested that she was outplayed by Vanessa. Audrey said that Shelli made a mistake by exploiting what she told her to Vanessa. Audrey said that it sucks because she knows the truth but can only see one outcome out of all of this. Audrey told Shelli that she did not go out of her way to sabotage Shelli or Clay. Shelli said that she would have gone to bat for them. On the other hand, she said that Vanessa is someone that brought up crossing Shelli and Clay. Audrey explained that Vanessa is not someone that is looking out for Clay or Shelli in the long run. She said that Vanessa has been with Austin from the beginning, is working with Steve and is trying to cut deals with Jason. Audrey suggested that people want her out because she knows too much.
3:00-4:00 PM: Audrey asked Shelli if she can ask her something direct. Shelli cut her off and said that she does not know what she is going to do and that she has a lot to think about. Audrey asked her to give her as much advanced notice as possible if she is going up. Audrey did not want to cry on TV. Shelli pleaded with Audrey not to do this to her. Vanessa told Jackie that she is willing to include her in a deal that she cuts with whomever she uses the PoV on. She felt that she could get Jackie safety from either Jason or John. Jackie told Vanessa that she doesn’t think that Jason or John would do that to her, so she does not want to get caught up in all of this. Vanessa told Jackie that she was very very shocked by the way that Liz and Shelli went with their nominations. Vanessa also revealed that John volunteered to go on the block during her HoH week because he knew that people wanted Audrey out. Jackie said that she heard that he has been throwing competition, which Vanessa denied any knowledge of.
4:00-5:00 PM: Audrey pulled James aside to fill him in on what’s going on. She said that Vanessa set Jeff up by planning out their argument, which is why Vanessa is talking to Jackie right now. Audrey outed the alliance between Austin, Clay, Liz, Shelli, Vanessa and herself. She said that they are turning on her so she need to try to save herself. Audrey suggested that they have James go to Clay and Shelli to have her back, throwing Jason under the bus as well. She would then hope that nominations stay the same and they can target John. Audrey said that they would then have to gun for that alliance, nominating four of the five members if they get HoH. Audrey told James that they could get Becky on board once she finds out that Shelli had John throw the Battle of the Block in order to dethrone her. James said that Clay, Shelli and Austin will steamroll them if they don’t do anything about this. James said that he kind of trusts Vanessa. Audrey told him not to, since he was her original target last week.
5:00-6:00 PM: Audrey next talked to Jackie, telling her everything that she told James. She exposed the alliance and then told Jackie that Vanessa staged the fight with Jeff because she wanted a reason to justify backdooring him. She informed Jackie about Shelli having John throw the BoB. James then joined them. Audrey told them both that Vanessa’s plan for this week was to throw four people up that they don’t care about having go home. James said that they are in trouble if this alliance is indeed real. James said that they will get picked off if so. Audrey told Jackie that Clay and Shelli flipped on Jeff even before he was exploited, yet they were leading him on. Audrey pointed out that she will be a target before any of them. She suggested that they could try to exploit Vanessa and get Austin nominated. James said that they need to do something game changing if they win HoH.
Meg told James that people are talking about how it’s shady that he has been with Audrey. James said that Audrey is genuinely trying to have his back. Meg told him that he is being crazy. James said that she doesn’t know about the six person alliance that makes sense. Meg said that people are not trying to get James out and that it’s frustrating her that James is listening to Audrey. Clay then broke up the talk. James said that he needs to talk to Clay and Shelli because he needs to find out if there is any truth to the craziness that he is hearing about. James told Clay about the six person alliance that Audrey outed. He also said that Audrey wanted him to throw Jason under the bus in order to have nominations stay the same so that they could create a big alliance and go after Clay and Shelli’s side of the house. They continued to talk over everything that Audrey said. Clay and Meg talked James down and left him saying that he cannot believe that he sat there and listened to Audrey for that long. Meanwhile, Vanessa spoke to Jackie and Jason. She told Jackie that she is willing to include her in any deal that she makes with Jason. Jackie did not want Vanessa to do that. Jason then offered to keep Vanessa safe whenever he wins HoH, whether it is this week or five weeks from now.
6:00-7:00 PM: Meg told Jason that Audrey has been telling people about a six person alliance. Jason and Meg agreed that they would not be saving Jason this week if there was this six person alliance. Clay was asking people if they would be okay with having a house meeting without Audrey, giving everyone a chance to out what Audrey has said. Everyone was fine with it. Becky, Clay, Jackie, James, Steve and Vanessa were out by the hot tub, going over all of the things that Audrey has said and discussing that it had no validity. Vanessa pulled James aside and swore on her mother that she went to bat for him this week. She said that she does not know why James was nominated and she was shocked by it. Vanessa said that Audrey does not have James’ back, since she told her about having a Final 2 with him and being in two other alliances with him. Clay went upstairs to catch Shelli up on everything that happened while she was asleep. Shelli said that Audrey is unbelievable. She said “see ya later, Audrey” multiple times in response to things that Clay told her that Audrey had said. Clay assured Shelli that everyone is on the same page with regards to targeting Audrey. They felt that they should call groups up to the HoH room to talk to them later tonight.
8:00-9:00 PM: Clay and Shelli brought James, Jason and Meg up to the HoH room to go over what happened today. Shelli assured James that it was a huge lie when Audrey said that they were involved in his nomination. Shelli explained that Audrey created the alliance that she is outing, yet it was done the day before she rallied everyone in the HoH room against Vanessa. Shelli said that it has not been a thing since. Shelli clarified that if she nominates Audrey she wants it to be a house move, not just her being the one nominating Audrey. Jason and Meg said that the house is more united against Audrey than ever after what happened today. Shelli said that she wants to make sure that it will not make her a target. Meg said that it will do the opposite. Jackie then gathered all of the other houseguests, aside from Audrey. Everyone talked things over in the HoH room. Shelli said that nominating Audrey is a dangerous move and she needs to have everyone’s allegiance if she does it. Shelli said that she would be loyal to them all. Everyone was on board. James then spoke up and talked about the things that Audrey said to him. Clay said that the game is stressful enough and they shouldn’t have someone that amplifies the stress by 50 times. After hearing some of the things that Audrey said today, Shelli told Vanessa to use the PoV and then she will put Audrey up and everyone else will vote her out. Before wrapping up the meeting, they agreed to treat Audrey well even though they do not want to talk any game with her.
12:00-1:00 AM: After a few hours in the diary room, Audrey finally returned to the house. Some of the houseguests had been speculating that she may be quitting or talking to a psychiatrist. She headed straight to bed upon returning. James told Jackie and Jason that he would hate for America to think that they were beating up on her. Jackie said that they were not and that she has done far worse to all of them. James and Jason both agreed that Audrey could have gotten really far if she had just sat back and been friends with everyone. Jackie told James that Audrey made a mistake by exposing things to the two of them. James figured that they would be safe for next week because of this, since it would look too suspicious to nominate them and give them reason to think that what Audrey said was legit. Jackie discussed that she would nominate Liz if she won HoH, since it’s the easiest thing to do because she nominated her. Jackie said that Liz isn’t even her target but she can go ahead and play the game. She also mentioned that she would like to nominate Vanessa or Austin.
1:00-2:00 AM: James told Jason that his hope is that somebody will send Steve home next week. Jason revealed that that would be his goal. He said that his backup plan would be to get Austin out. Audrey got out of bed and joined Vanessa. She was crying. Vanessa told her that this is just a game and that she has people that love her and she is going to be okay. Vanessa said that there is no right way to play this game and this is not a reflection of her as a person. Vanessa said that everyone in the house is a good person and they are not out to persecute Audrey. Audrey said that she wants to go hit the button in the storage room and leave. Vanessa told her that she doesn’t want to be the first person in history to do that. She said that she knows how strong Audrey is and that she can do this. Audrey said that she doesn’t want to explain everything that she is experiencing on camera. She mentioned that the psychologist cannot come in until morning. James also came to check on Audrey. She remained hidden under the covers. James told her that this is definitely hard but she has been through a lot and she has to remember that it’s just a game and that everyone loves her on a personal level. He said that they will all want to hang out together and get drinks once this is done. James pointed out that Audrey got her story out, nobody judged her, she took a huge step and America is going to love her. Vanessa told Audrey that she doesn’t believe that things on the outside will be as bad as she thinks. Even if it is, Vanessa told Audrey that she knows that she is strong enough to overcome it.
2:00-3:00 AM: Jason told Becky, Jackie and Steve that Vanessa is trying to talk Audrey off of the ledge. Jason said it’s not real and that she is in Vanessa’s bed because she knows that Vanessa has the PoV and could decide not to use it. Jason told them that she doesn’t think that Vanessa has bought it, since she is just a caring person. Becky said that Audrey is a manipulator and she is doing this on purpose. Jackie said to get ready for Audrey to come at all of them for their votes tomorrow. Jason said that Audrey will be crying up in the HoH room tomorrow if she ends up on the block. Jason explained that people do respect what the HoH wants and Shelli will have a bit of a say.
