BB17 Day 34
July 21, 2015
12:00-1:00 PM: James and Steve spoke in the bedroom while the others were taking photos with the HoH camera. Steve pointed out that there are some people that have not bee nominated yet all. James said that they need to change that. James told Steve that it’s not fair that some people have not been nominated. He said that even if you are a strong couple, you need to sweat a bit. He also said that it would not be fair for John to be nominated for a fifth time in a row. Steve said that people see John as an easy person to nominate. James figured that it was because John doesn’t complain about it. Clay then spoke to James, who told him that Steve is very interested in the people that have yet to be nominated. James told Clay that Steve brought up his name and Shelli’s name as well. Clay said that he gets that it’s an easy excuse to nominate them because they have not been nominated, but it will be very easy for people to send them home if one of them is on the block. James assured Clay that he would never nominated him or Shelli. Clay said that it should be beneficial for people to work with the two of them.
1:00-2:00 PM: Shelli went to the have-not room where Audrey has been sleeping all day. She called out Audrey’s name but Audrey did not respond to her. Shelli then went outside and chatted with Jason. Jason told her that they are now calling Liz’s twin “Angela”, since a sister named Angela was mentioned in Liz’s HoH letter. Jason then told Shelli that Meg walked in on Austin telling Angela about his date with Liz. Jason pointed out that Austin obviously knows about the twins and is helping them.
2:00-3:00 PM: Shelli asked John how he is feeling about the Audrey situation. John said that if there is any week for him to be stuck on the block, this is it. John thinks that Audrey can dish it out but can’t take it, so he doesn’t feel bad. He said that the last time that he felt bad for Audrey she began talking game immediately again. He pointed out that Audrey might really be feeling bad this time but there is no way to know. Shelli said that she did not want to be the one to nominate Audrey but she had no choice at this point. John told Shelli that Audrey was going to hurt their games. Shelli said that she already was doing that. Shelli wondered if Audrey would attend the eviction on Thursday or if she would turn that down just like she turned down attending the veto ceremony. John was not happy about Audrey doing that.
4:00-5:00 PM: Vanessa told Shelli that she expects some big things to happen next week. She said that it’s very important to win HoH. She discussed that there are so many deals out there that some will have to be broken. Shelli told Vanessa about how Meg walked in on Austin telling Julia about his date with Liz. Shelli said that people know about the twins and are expecting that extra number to be in there, though she pointed out that the twins don’t necessarily know how to play the game. Shelli found that Liz’s HoH was handled in a poor manner, with Liz drinking almost her whole bottle of wine during her game talks. She said that Liz finished her talks an hour before she wrapper up hers. While Shelli and Vanessa were chatting in the bedroom, Audrey came out of the have-not room and went to grab something from nearby them. Vanessa asked Audrey if she is okay. Audrey did not respond and then walked away. As Audrey was walking away, Vanessa began talking about how Audrey had no problem talking to her while she still had the PoV, yet now she will not talk to her. She then told Shelli that there was no reason for Audrey to treat her like that and that it’s a bit of a slap in the face.
6:00-7:00 PM: Vanessa headed up to the HoH room to talk to Clay and Shelli. She said that she believes that there are all sorts of deals out there right now and that things are weird. Shelli asked Vanessa who she doesn’t have deals with. Vanessa told her that Jason and Meg owe her but she doesn’t owe them anything. so she could nominate them. Shelli asked what deal she ended up making with Jason. Vanessa said that the deal was that Jason and Meg would offer her safety if they won HoH, while Jason would use the PoV on her if he won it and she was on the block. Vanessa brought up how she had offered to bring Jackie in on the deal but she refused and said that Jason wouldn’t do that to her anyway, which Vanessa found to be odd. Shelli figured that it might be because Jackie wants to be able to nominate Vanessa and she did not want to make a deal with her involved. Vanessa brought up that she would not want to use someone from within their group as a pawn unless they volunteered to go up. Clay said that they need to shoot down the idea of using himself or Shelli as pawns, since it would be too easy to vote them out if they go on the block. Vanessa agreed that it’s not a good idea for them to be pawns.
Vanessa told Clay and Shelli that she really thinks that there is an alliance between Becky, Jackie, John and Steve. Shelli said “okay, Audrey” and pointed out that she has been saying that for weeks. Vanessa explained that she knows for a fact that Becky and Jackie talk strategy all the time. She felt the same way about John and Steve. Clay said that James, Jason and Meg are together, with Becky and Jackie getting closer and John having a connection to Becky. He was concerned about that. Vanessa suggested that they could make a deal with Austin, James, Jason, Julia, Liz and Meg to agree to take out the other four. The remaining four are Becky, Jackie, John and Steve. She said that the big players have gone out thus far and they will be left with a boring end to the season unless they start going after some floaters. Clay told her that it’s probably not a good idea to make that deal outright, since the following week it would be easy for James, Jason or Meg to go to those four and tell them what happened. Vanessa said that they will then just have to ensure that the target gets directed on to the group of four without reaching an agreement. Vanessa was paranoid that Audrey has been talking to the other have-nots, trying to hurt their games. She suggested offering Audrey a deal that they will work with her if she returns, if she agrees to stop poisoning them. Clay and Shelli felt that there was no point in doing that.
9:00-10:00 PM: Liz asked Becky if she should bring some food back to Audrey, who has still not left the have-not room. Becky said that Audrey has already had three meals brought to her. Becky then said that Audrey is on the block and is not dying. She said that she helped Audrey out because she was on medication but she is no longer on it. Becky pointed out that Audrey “terrorized” people while they were nominated. In particular, she mentioned that Audrey was not very nice to Jackie. Becky said that they have given Audrey her essentials, so she can go to the storage room or ask if she needs something. Becky felt that they were babying Audrey and it has become extreme. She said that Audrey is allowed to have the lights off during the day, she is no longer required to be a have-not and she didn’t have to attend the veto ceremony. Becky ultimately told Liz that she can bring Audrey food if she wants, though Liz decided against it.
11:00-12:00 AM: Austin told Liz that they need Steve to win HoH this week or else he is going to have to put him up. Liz told him to let Julia know that. Austin told Liz that Audrey tried to plant doubt in the minds of Clay and Shelli, in order to make them feel that they are at the bottom of the alliance. Austin said that he is making Clay feel as though he will choose him over the twins. Austin also said that once Liz switches with Julia, he will go to Shelli and say that he is really missing Liz and is having a hard time. He said that he can let Shelli know that even though he has feelings for Liz, he will stick to Clay and Shelli since they had his back since the first day. The two discussed bringing in Jason as their side alliance. Austin planned to explain that once the two twins are together he will know that they will choose each other and thus he needs someone. They are considering telling him that the twins cannot enter until the top ten, so that Jason can leak that to others.
1:00-2:00 AM: After an hour long feed outage for no apparent reason, feeds returned and the majority of the houseguest were hanging out in the backyard. Steve went to Shelli and asked her if it would be okay if he told Audrey about her speech from the veto ceremony, including how she told the others to be nice to Audrey. Shelli was fine with that. Steve said that what Audrey is doing right now isn’t healthy. He said that this outside of the game and he is getting worried. Steve asked if Shelli wanted to go talk to Audrey with him. Shelli said that she tried earlier and she doesn’t think that Audrey wants to talk to her, but she will try again tomorrow. Steve went to try, since he said that this is a terrible way for Audrey to go out. Audrey was asleep and John was in the room, leading to Steve’s decision to wait until tomorrow to talk to her.
