July 23, 2015
2:00-3:00 PM: Audrey told Vanessa that it was mean spirited of Becky to bring her pizza and say that production said that she could have it, then production calls her in and says that she is getting a penalty vote for eating it. Audrey pointed out that she ate the slop that Becky brought to her. Vanessa said that she thinks that Becky did it out of kindness and didn’t do it to be mean. Vanessa pointed out that even if Audrey had an issue with it, she has no slept with the lights off during the day, taken a hot shower and broken other have-not rules. so it’s not worth arguing about it. Audrey said that she didn’t care about the penalty vote.
6:00-7:00 PM: The live eviction episode took place. Julie revealed that Audrey did indeed get a penalty vote against her for eating normal food while a have-not. Audrey was then evicted by a vote of 10-1. Austin was the lone vote to evict John. The HoH competition then took place. Jackie and Vanessa won HoH.
7:00-8:00 PM: The live feeds returned after the live show. Jason was frustrated with Vanessa. He told Clay and Meg that he studied with Vanessa last night for this exact competition, then she decided to choose James and Jackie to face off against each other and that ensured that he would have to go up against Vanessa. Jason was concerned about what Vanessa may do, especially after he told her everything that happened last night with regards to Austin telling him about the twins. Clay told James that the one vote against the house is going to drive him crazy. Shelli later speculated that there must be some sort of twist where America gets to vote to flip someone’s vote each week. She figured that this was meant to make them all go crazy. Vanessa quickly spoke to Shelli and said that she has no idea what she is going to do. She said that it’s not the best position to be in but she had to win HoH since Jackie had already won HoH and she knows that she would have nominated her.
8:00-9:00 PM: Jason told Meg that they need to make sure that Jackie stays HoH, since Vanessa will not target Austin. Jason then told Meg that he is convinced that Steve is America’s Players. He said that he is as sure about that as he is about the twins, and will swallow his tongue if he is wrong. Jason pointed out that Steve looks mortified whenever the conversation about America’s Player comes up. Jackie asked Jason who he would have nominated. He said Austin and Steve with Liz as the backdoor option. Jackie said that she plans to nominate Liz and Steve, with Austin as the backdoor option. Jackie said that she wants to remain HoH. She hopes that Liz and Steve will lose the BoB or that possibly they can convince Steve to throw it. Jason asked Jackie to try to make sure that Vanessa does not nominate him. She figured that Vanessa will nominate some of their people, unless they work together. James said that Jackie is in a tough spot, since Vanessa will not want her to be nominating her people like she plans to. James, Jason, Jackie, Meg and Shelli then discussed that Steve threw the HoH competition. Jason said that he has thrown them all. He figured that it was because America’s Player cannot control both of their nominations and therefore he does not want to win.
Vanessa and Jackie talked about their plan for the week. Vanessa told Jackie that she wants to work together to get through this week and moving on in the future. Vanessa said that they will need to think about who they are both okay with going home and then find a way to make it happen. They made an agreement not to backdoor each other. Jackie revealed that she is thinking about nominating Liz and Steve. She explained that Liz nominated her so that is an easy one. Vanessa said that those were the people that she was thinking about nominating. Jackie said that she would like to stay HoH, which Vanessa was fine with. She said that Jackie will need to find someone that is willing to throw the competition. Jackie mentioned that she could talk to John. Vanessa threw out Jason’s name as someone who may consider it as well. Jackie asked Vanessa how she feels about Austin and Liz. Vanessa explained that she was loyal to them up until this past week when they did something to break her trust. Jackie suggested that Austin could be the one to go if Liz does not. Vanessa said that she understands that you have the twins and a showmance to worry about within that trio. Jackie said that they may be able to have two easy weeks if they get rid of Austin now, cause people will target the twins after that. Vanessa said that that’s a good point.
9:00-10:00 PM: Jackie and Vanessa discussed that they are both on good terms with Clay and Shelli and that they are two people that they can include in their discussions about the plans for the week. They wondered who they could get to throw the competition. Vanessa suggested asking someone that has not yet been nominated. Jackie mentioned Clay as an option. Vanessa said that she could ask Clay but his hesitation will be that he has a target on him due to being paired up with Shelli. Jackie thought that they could potentially make a deal with Steve to throw it, telling him that they will use the PoV on him and then they can nominate Austin next to Liz. If Austin wins the PoV in that scenario, Jackie said that Steve would have to go. They then went back to discussing having John throw it. As for Vanessa’s nominations, she said that she has no deals with James, Jason or Meg, so those are options. She figured that Meg would be a good one since she is somebody that would never go home. Vanessa thought that Meg owed her for using the PoV on Jason. Seeing as she wants her nominees to win, Vanessa mentioned nominating James since she has done it before and he is good in competitions. She also threw out the possibility of nominating Austin, though she wanted to give him a chance to explain himself with regards to what she heard that he did to betray her trust. Vanessa ultimately said that she thinks that Austin is trustworthy but is thinking the wrong way due to Liz, who Vanessa claimed to have no allegiance to.
10:00-11:00 PM: Vanessa told Austin that a lot of people feel strongly about the twins. Austin said that he knows and that he talked to Jason about it. He explained that he told Jason that the twins can’t confirm anything to him. Austin said that Jason is fine with the twins coming in cause he likes Liz, though he wants to get Julia out right away. Vanessa told Austin that she needs to talk to everyone else before she talks to him. Vanessa reiterated that Jackie cannot find out that she is working with Austin and the twins. She asked Austin to trust her. Vanessa said that Jackie thinks that she is fine with her keeping HoH, though she is not. After Austin left, Vanessa looked at the camera and said that Austin just lied to her face. She said that she is loyal but she is not stupid.
11:00-12:00 AM: Becky and Jackie discussed targeting the trio of Austin and the twins. Jackie said that if Austin goes then the house would unite against the twins. Becky said that she wouldn’t want to be the first to make a move against that group, though if Jackie does it she would be willing to target whoever is left from that trio if she wins HoH next week. Upstairs in the HoH room, Vanessa told Clay and Shelli that Jackie loves them wants to work with them. Vanessa brought up that Austin lied to her face, saying that he told Jason that he doesn’t know about the twins for sure. Vanessa felt that it was best for them to keep the twins around. Clay and Shelli agreed that Austin needs to go first. Shelli said that they can explain that Austin wanted to target Julia. Clay pointed out that the twins are two people that will remain targets in front of them and they are also votes on their side. Vanessa told Clay and Shelli that Jackie mentioned that she can get Becky to volunteer to go up if one of them will go up with her on the winning side. Clay said that he is willing to do it. Jackie joined them and Clay asked her who she would like to see go home. Jackie said that she is thinking that Austin or Liz need to go. Clay, Shelli and Vanessa had discussed asking Meg to throw the BoB next to Liz. They brought the idea up to Jackie. Jackie did not want to nominate Meg and did not think that she would be willing to throw the competition. Clay told Jackie that he is willing to go up with Becky if Meg will throw the competition. They discussed making a Final 8 deal with Becky, James, Jason and Meg, also asking one of James, Jason or Meg to throw the competition. Vanessa and Jackie discussed that it’s best for Austin to leave before the twins.
12:00-1:00 AM: Steve spoke to Vanessa and asked if they are still working together. He was concerned about his poor performance in the competition. Vanessa said yes and assured him that he is not going on the block. She said that there is a plan in place and that he will be filled in later this week, since it is best that he does not know about it right now. Vanessa then spoke to Julia, telling her that Jackie said right away that she will be nominating her. Vanessa said that she will do her best to make sure that Austin does not go up next to her. Vanessa and Julia began discussing that Austin is not thinking clearly right now, due to his feelings for Liz. Julia said that she is getting the feeling that Austin wont care about her once Liz gets in the game. Vanessa then said that she has some information to tell Julia. She revealed that Austin went to Jason and told him that the twins are real, told him Julia’s name and finally told him that he doesn’t care if Julia is targeted as long as Liz is left in the game. Vanessa said that was extremely disloyal of Austin and it is making her question him. Julia said that she understands that it is best for her if Austin is not in the game, since he will lie about anything if he lied to Vanessa about this. Vanessa pointed out that Liz is a twin and has a showmance, so she would be a very easy target. Julia agreed that it’s best for Austin to go for Liz as well. Vanessa assured Julia that she has her back and that Clay and Shelli want to work with them.
1:00-2:00 AM: Jackie had filled Becky in the proposed plan to have her go up alongside Clay. Becky was on board with it as long as somebody threw the competition on the other side. Becky then told Vanessa that she is on board. Vanessa spoke to James, Jason and Meg, telling them that she loves them and has been wanting to work with them. She said that everyone thinks that she is working with Austin and Liz but she has credible evidence that Austin betrayed her last week. She said that it’s best if Austin leaves before the twins. Jason agreed that Austin is the bigger threat. Vanessa brought up the Final 8 deal. James decided that they should name the alliance “Dark Moon”. Vanessa then said that Clay and Becky have volunteered to go up on her side, so they need one of the three of them to volunteer to throw the Battle of the Block next to Liz. Nobody wanted to volunteer. Eventually, James said that he would go on the block. He asked that he be given a week off next week if one of their people win HoH. They were on board with that.
2:00-3:00 AM: Vanessa told Austin that Jackie seems likely to go the route of nominating the people that put her up. Those people are James and Liz. She mentioned that it seems as though Jackie wants to backdoor Steve, since she wants the twins to come in to the game. Vanessa said that she is going to try to get Clay or Shelli to volunteer to go up on her side. Austin was concerned that they might lose them if they ask them to go on the block. Vanessa also told Austin that she is considering nominating Becky, since that is her target. Austin was worried that they would win and then Liz would go home, though Vanessa said that she thinks that it’s unlikely that Liz leaves. Afterwards, Vanessa talked to Clay, Shelli, Becky and Jackie. They went over the plan once more. Vanessa said that she told Austin that Steve is the backdoor target. Jackie said that she told Liz the same. The plan remains for Vanessa to nominate Becky and Clay, with Jackie nominating James and Liz. James is supposed to throw the Battle of the Block. The goal is to target Austin, though Steve is the secondary target if Austin wins PoV and saves Liz.
4:00-5:00 AM: Vanessa told Julia that Austin was the only person in the house that she had a Final 2 deal with. She said that she no longer trusts him and has Liz and Julia’s back 100%. Vanessa said that she will be their girl and that she has no one. Julia told Vanessa that Austin voted to evict John, because he wanted to cast doubt in order to make people believe that it was Steve. Julia wondered if they would have to confront him. Vanessa said that Jackie has reason to backdoor Austin, since she found out that he lied to her about the twins. Jason told her about Julia earlier in the evening. Vanessa said that Austin did this to himself, being disloyal to people that he should have trusted. Julia said that it’s so sad that Austin told Jason that he was willing to target her. Julia said that she can’t sleep, since she is sleeping with the enemy. Vanessa said that all that Austin cares about is sleeping with Liz in the jury house. Julia told Vanessa that she will not hint to Liz that she hates Austin. Vanessa said that her and Shelli will fill Liz in on what happened. Julia suggested that Vanessa should tell Clay and Shelli that Austin was the vote to keep Audrey.
