BB17 Day 35
July 22, 2015
10:00-11:00 AM: Clay and Shelli discussed talking to Jason and Meg about a Final 4 deal. They said that Jason and Meg have both mentioned it in the past. They wondered if Meg would tell James, though they figured that she would not since she was the one that brought this up to begin with. Clay said that they will need to be careful since they are going to be good with too many people. Clay thinks that there are three targets ahead of them at this point, those being Austin, Liz and Steve. Shelli said that there was a good group outside for their talk last night when it was agreed that it could be alright to leave the twins in the game without Austin. She said that it was the two of them, Becky, Jackie, James, Jason and Meg. While Shelli said that she does not want Austin to go, she pointed out that any target that is not on them is a good thing. Shelli thought that they would be able to get Vanessa on board if it came down to it, since they have to target people within their own group in order to avoid making it obvious.
Shelli told Becky that she is feeling sad about Audrey, because she keeps thinking about the times when they were having fun together and being goofy. Becky said that Audrey is just going home to her family and friends. She said that she would be sad if she was leaving before jury, though it would only last a day and then she would come around and realize that she too has sent people out. Becky pointed out that Audrey made it tough on both Jackie and Meg when they were on the block, yet now that she is on the block she suddenly cannot walk or talk. Becky mentioned that she helped Audrey out for the first 24-36 hours due to the medication that she was on, though they did not say that Audrey was sick and had to skip the veto ceremony as a result of it. Becky clarified that they were told that “Audrey has opted out” of attending the veto ceremony. Becky said that there are not a bunch of people waiting with pitchforks for Audrey, and that there are a lot of people wanting to talk to her and be there for her if she needs it. Becky mentioned that numerous people have tried to talk to Audrey already.
11:00-12:00 PM: Vanessa told Clay and Shelli that she caught Jackie and Jason in a deep conversation last night. She said that it makes sense that they would be together, since Jason lost Da’Vonne and Jackie lost Jeff. Vanessa said that those two are always the last two awake at night. As much as they think that Jason and Meg are together, Vanessa believes that it’s actually Jackie and Jason that are together. Vanessa figured that’s why Jackie turned her down when she offered to include her in a deal with Jason. Vanessa explained that Jackie said that she is already good with Jason and didn’t want to be included. Vanessa felt that that was a big slip up and outed her alliance with Jason. Vanessa continued on, saying that it’s Jackie, James, Jason and Meg together, potentially leaving Becky on her own. Vanessa compared the Jackie, James, Jason and Meg foursome to the alliance that she has with Austin, Clay and Shelli.
12:00-1:00 PM: After Vanessa left, Shelli told Clay that their idea to create a Final 4 with Jason and Meg may no longer work due to what Vanessa told them. They decided that they can still talk to those two to see what they say, though they will let Jason and Meg lead the conversation. Shelli said that they will need to do whatever they can to protect Vanessa with that side. Clay agreed and said that they need to deflect the attention on to Austin, Liz and Steve if that side wins HoH. Shelli asked Clay who he would nominate. Clay said Becky would be one. As for the second, he said that he could talk to Austin and Vanessa about having Austin go up in order to deflect attention away from their group. The alternative that Clay mentioned was to nominate Steve. In the kitchen, Austin, Liz, John and Becky watched on as Audrey exited the diary room. Liz did not understand why she is wearing the sunglasses and has the hood up to cover her face. Liz pointed out that they have all seen her face before. Liz felt as though Audrey was acting like a baby and embarrassing their cast. Audrey got her suitcase and begun packing up some of her belongings in advance of tomorrow's eviction.
Austin and Liz head to the hammock to talk some game. Austin said that he has a plan ready for after leaves and switches out with Julia today. He said that he will then implement “Operation Jason”. Liz said that if someone wins HoH that is not on their side, Julia will have to tell them about the twins and say that they are not coming in until the top ten. Austin said that he will work on it with Julia. Before that, Austin said that he will lay it all out for Jason. Austin clarified that he wont tell Jason too much about the twins but he will tell him enough. After that, Austin said that he will be making the “Judas vote” tomorrow, voting to evict John. Austin said that they can use that as their backup plan to frame Steve for making the lone vote against John and for being America’s Player. Austin said that he won’t even feel bad about it, since if Steve doesn’t win HoH he is not doing anything for them. Liz agreed. Austin pointed out that the twin thing will be the next big thing on everyone’s minds once Audrey is gone, so the pre-emptive move to go to Jason is a necessity. Austin wants to create some doubt in Jason’s mind that he is a solid duo with Liz, due to her sticking to her twin. Liz said that she doesn’t want Austin to feel that way, since even though Julia is her #1, they are closest to him and they both need him in the game. Austin said that he isn’t worried about Final 3, since it’s so far away.
3:00-4:00 PM: Liz told Austin that it would be great if Vanessa won HoH tomorrow, since she would be able to manipulate the other HoH. Austin agreed. He asked Liz not to tell Julia that he is thinking about voting the other way, because he wants her to be shocked. He said that he is only doing that in order to help protect the twins, since it could give them an out to target an America’s Player over them next week. He didn’t think that anyone else would make that move and vote John out tomorrow. Liz told Austin that Jackie is starting to grow on her more so than Becky is. Austin said that maybe Jackie is not so bad, though they still cannot trust her. Liz agreed. Austin felt that Becky was playing a weird style of game and that you cannot tell where she is coming from. He said that maybe she actually isn’t talking any game. They then begun discussing Audrey. Liz felt that Audrey is acting childish. Liz hoped that people on the outside would not think that they are being mean to her, since she believes that Audrey is making herself the victim. Liz thinks that the loyal Big Brother fans will resent Audrey for the way that she has handled this situation.
Up in the HoH room, Vanessa spoke to Clay and Shelli. She said that Audrey has not even asked anyone for their vote yet. Shelli wondered what the point of Audrey exposing things was, since she isn’t trying to get votes. Shelli asked Vanessa which houseguests she considers to be floaters. Vanessa mentioned Becky, Jackie, Steve and John. They discussed how Steve likes to tell people that “we’re good”. All three said that Steve has that type of agreement with them. Vanessa said that she doesn’t consider those to be too serious, so she could nominate Steve if she had to. Shelli pointed out that Steve is only trying in the competitions in which his game is on the line. Clay was irritated by that. Shelli thought that he could be an Ian and win a bunch of competitions towards the end of the game. Vanessa said that she hadn’t looked at it that way but they will have to be careful not to let him get to a point in which he can take over the game by winning those competitions.
4:00-5:00 PM: Audrey got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. Jackie went in there as well. Audrey asked Jackie what the general consensus is. Jackie said that everyone is worried about her, loves her and want to make sure that she leaves happy. Audrey asked if James went and told everyone what she had said. Jackie said yes but there already seemed to be a plan in place and then this only sealed the deal. Audrey said that Austin, Clay, Shelli and Vanessa were looking for a reason to justify targeting her. Audrey told Jackie that she was set up the same way that Jeff was and she fell for it. Audrey thanked Jackie for telling her the truth and gave her a hug. Jackie told Audrey that everyone loves her and said that she played a hell of a game. Jackie told Audrey that people would be fine with talking to her if she wants to join them, though they probably don’t want to talk game. Jackie told Clay, Meg and then Shelli about her talk with Audrey. Meg and Clay could not believe that Audrey was still talking game.
5:00-6:00 PM: Audrey went up to the HoH room to ask Shelli to speak to her privately. Audrey told Shelli that she needs to address a few things with her before she leaves. Audrey said that it doesn’t feel like Shelli is her friend. Audrey mentioned that she had heard that getting her out was on the agenda a while ago. Shelli said that she is Audrey’s friend and that it’s untrue that this was the plan all along, as she did not start this week with a plan to backdoor Audrey. Audrey wanted some more answers as to why she was put in this position. Shelli said that Audrey gave them reason to justify using the veto. Shelli pointed out that Audrey was able to turn on her so quickly when she ran downstairs and exposed things to James and Jackie. This made Shelli reluctant to name any names during the conversation. Shelli told Audrey that she was willing to talk to her and that she would have given her the opportunity to talk her in to nominating someone else or having Vanessa not use the PoV. Shelli admitted to the house meeting that took place without Audrey, though she clarified that she did not want it to play out that way and had only wanted to talk to people in small groups.
Audrey pushed Shelli to give her more information. Shelli said that she is only going to say some things because she would want to know if the roles were reversed. Shelli said that she knows that John and Audrey had a Final 2 deal. Audrey said that it’s untrue and that she only told John that she would look out for him with their side as long as John looked out for her with Steve. Audrey told Shelli that of course no one will even question what John says, but she forgets his name half the time when doing DRs. Shelli also brought up hearing that Audrey said that her and Clay need to be split up. Audrey said that’s convenient. Audrey told Shelli that she chose the wrong person to trust, in reference to Vanessa. Audrey said that she told people about the alliance in reaction to be stoned to death in the HoH room and also to Vanessa putting on a brilliant performance and lying. Shelli told Audrey that she was backed in to a corner and had no choice but to make this move after hearing things from so many different people. Audrey told her that she would have been the only one to protect her and Clay throughout the entire game. Audrey said that Clay and Shelli are being way too naive when it comes to Vanessa.
Despite Audrey’s insistence that Shelli name names, Shelli said that she cannot do that. Shelli said that Audrey will be able to go home and see everything that people told her. Shelli said that she loves Audrey, cares for her and is extremely hurt that she had to put her in this place. Shelli said that she hopes to continue their friendship outside of the house and she hopes that Audrey can get out there and change the world with her story. Shelli said that she doesn’t see them reaching a conclusion in this talk when it comes to the game. Audrey bought up that this is one of the biggest betrayals. Shelli asked Audrey is spinning this around to say that what she is doing is the biggest betrayal of the summer. Audrey said that she talked to the psychologist and to people that have seen everything. She implied that those people that have seen it all are the ones suggesting that this move is being perceived as a big betrayal. Feeds cut and Audrey was told that she cannot use production as a strategy. The conversation then ended.
6:00-7:00 PM: Shelli went up to the HoH room to tell Clay that Audrey is trying to say that this is the biggest betrayal of the season. Shelli said that Audrey is one of a kind. Shelli told Clay that Audrey brought up that she had a panic attack in the diary room the other day, which is why she has been on medication. Shelli began crying and said that if this move is getting spun as a betrayal, then she wants to leave the house. Clay assured her that nobody sees it that way and that she did everything that she could for Audrey. Shelli then mentioned that Audrey is so good at making her think that Vanessa cannot be trusted. Clay said that he trusts Vanessa as much as anyone but Shelli. He said that Shelli feels the same way and cannot forget that. Shelli was still upset about her talk with Audrey and did not like that Audrey was suggesting that she will leave and find out that everyone was lying to her and she will feel stupid and hated upon realizing that. Clay said that Shelli is emotionally unstable and it’s the best thing for her to leave, even if it was all a lie.
James headed in to the have-not room. Audrey questioned why he turned on her after she told him everything to help him out. James questioned how that was meant to help her. Audrey explained that it was because an alliance exists that James is not a part of. James said that people have denied it and said that they would not have turned on her if she knew all of their info. Audrey could only laugh. Meg then came in to the room and pulled James away. James headed up to the HoH room to tell Clay, Shelli, Becky and Jackie about his talk with Audrey. Jason said that Audrey should be on slop, should have to be sitting in the chair (at the veto ceremony) and should have to have the lights on in the bedroom, if she is going to be going around plotting.
7:00-8:00 PM: Meanwhile, the twins had switched. Julia is back in the house. Jason noticed immediately and told some of the others. Julia told Austin that Jason noticed and that everyone was talking about it. Austin talked about his plan to go to Jason and tell him that the twins have not confirmed anything yet but have hinted that what he suspects is true and that they can get in to the game individually once they make it to the top ten. Austin also revealed his potential plan to vote to keep Audrey tomorrow, allowing them to blame it on Steve if needed. Julia said that she cannot see anyone else voting to evict John, so he should do it. Steve then spoke to Julia and told her that the angle that she needs to play is that having a second twin in the game is the better alternative than having someone return. He suggested that it may be best for her to openly admit that she is a twin and introduce herself as Julia, since people would then see that she is being open about it. However, he said that she should definitely talk to Liz about it before doing that.
Steve informed Julia that her sister is now in a showmance. Julia questioned what he was talking about. Steve said that Liz is in a showmance with Austin. Julia was confused and again asked “what?”, saying that Austin has a girlfriend. Steve said that the two of them have been hardcore spooning and that Austin has been touching Liz. Julia pointed out that Austin has a girlfriend and therefore he should be careful about it due to how it will be perceived. Julia said that she doesn’t plan to sleep in the same bed with Austin tonight. Steve told her that that will raise eyebrows. He later mentioned that everyone knows about the twins, which makes it less suspicious if Austin is not seen flirting with her. Steve explained that Austin has made a point of telling him that he is only showmancing Liz. Julia said that’s fine, since she doesn’t want to be in a showmance with him. Julia felt that Liz liked Austin as a friend. Steve then filled Julia in on the Audrey situation. He hoped that it would be an easy, unanimous vote. Steve said that it would clear his name with regards to potentially being America’s Player.
10:00-11:00 PM: Austin begun “Operation Jason”, telling him that his veto speech really struck a chord with him. Austin said that he doesn’t think that Jason realizes how big of a superfan he was. Jason said that he figured that Austin was downplaying it. Austin begun discussing the twins, saying that they hint at things when the feeds are down during the music in the mornings. Jason asked if he knows both names. Austin said yes, which led Jason to ask if this one (Julia) is Angela. Austin said that she is Julia. Austin discussed that it’s a tough situation to deal with, since he is developing feelings for Liz and she keeps going in and out of the house. He pointed out how odd it was early on before he found out, since he would go days where he couldn’t leave her alone and then he suddenly wouldn’t care as much. Jason said that this may be the week that they both get to enter. He added that most people would rather have her come in than have someone come back. Austin said that once they are both in the game, he wouldn’t mind if Julia left since the twins would always be more loyal to each other than to him. Jason agreed that Liz could be easier for them to work with at that point.
1:00-2:00 AM: Austin told Julia about his talk with Jason. He thought that it went well and said that Jason wants the twins to come in to the game together. Julia told Austin about Steve saying that he is hoping for a unanimous vote so that people will stop thinking that he is America’s Player. She thought that it would be a genius move for Austin to vote John out. Austin said that Judas will be doing it. Julia mentioned that Becky and Jackie don’t do anything without each other and she has never seen anything like it. Austin said that those are his targets for next week. They discussed that they will need to make any kind of deal that they can to get through the upcoming week, since it’s a whole new game after that. Elsewhere, Jason told Meg and Shelli about his conversation with Austin. He said that Austin told him that this one is named Julia and that Austin was basically saying that he is fine with Julia being targeted because he wants to get to jury with Liz. Vanessa then joined them and was filled in on everything as well.
2:00-3:00 AM: Shelli headed up to the HoH room to tell Clay that Austin told Jason about Julia and also said that he wants people to target her over Liz so that they can be in jury together. Shelli felt that this proves that Austin is a loose cannon. Clay said that he is playing emotionally. Shelli said that Austin has no loyalty and does not care about getting further in the game or helping their group. The positive was that she saw him as someone that could be targeted now. Shelli said that she cannot wait to talk to Vanessa, since she will be mad about what Austin did. Clay and Shelli discussed their options for an alliance moving forward. The first one that was thrown out there was with Jason, Meg and Vanessa. Both agreed that they would love to work with that group. The second group consisted of Becky, Jackie, John and Vanessa. Shelli said that they will have to see who wins HoH tomorrow. Vanessa eventually spoke to Clay and Shelli. They all discussed that they cannot understand what Austin was thinking when he decided to tell Jason about the twins. Vanessa was puzzled as to why Austin thought that it was a good move and why he wouldn’t run it by her first. The group discussed potentially aligning with the James, Jason and Meg side of the house.
