BB17 Day 81
September 6, 2015
10:00-11:00 AM: After sleeping with Julia last night, Liz got into bed with Austin. Austin apologized to Liz and then Liz apologized to him as well. Liz said that the last thing that she wants is for this stupid game to tear them apart. Austin said that he doesn’t want that either. Austin explained that he didn’t know what was going on yesterday during the veto competition when Julia picked him to play before John. He also talked about it being a big moment for him because of Jessie being there, since it could help his wrestling career. Austin said that he hated sleeping without Liz last night. He told her that it was the worst feeling ever. Austin told Liz that his feelings for her are real and he does not want her to ever question that. Liz asked if she didn’t ruin his life then. Austin said that it’s not what he meant and that he took a big risk. He said that he would do it again because of how he feels about her. Austin said that it would have been the biggest regret of his life if not, because he has never felt this strongly about someone.
1:00-2:00 PM: Vanessa told John that she would like to hear his thoughts strategically at some point once he figures out which way he is leaning. John wondered if they should just keep it simple and take out Liz. Vanessa said that it makes it easier for them to win HoH if so. Vanessa said that leaving Liz in the game makes it too tough for them, since they are forced to win HoH next week. John said that keeping Austin and Liz together would be thinking too much and possibly screwing themselves. Vanessa said that Liz is going to want Austin to target Steve. She asked John if he thinks that Austin actually will. John wasn’t sure. Vanessa said that Steve would 100% be going on the block if Julia wins HoH. She told John that they should not be anyone’s main target next week. Vanessa asked John if they have a deal that they will not nominate, backdoor or use each other as a pawn. John said yes. Vanessa said that he is the only person that she has that deal with. She asked if they should make a deal with Austin. John said they could if they break it.
2:00-3:00 PM: Liz told Julia about her talk with Austin. She said that she cannot be mad at him, since everyone came in there as an individual. She said that if it’s her time to go, it’s her time to go. Liz felt that Steve would be after her and Austin if she stayed. Julia thought that Austin and Steve have a Final 2 deal. Liz disagreed. Julia asked who Austin would take to the end then. Liz said probably Vanessa. Julia told Liz that she thinks that one of them leaving is best for their games anyway, since they become less of a threat. Julia said that she would definitely say that Liz staying is the better option if she was not with Austin, because being with Austin makes it likely that Liz will continue to be nominated with him. Julia feared that Austin would then win the PoV and Liz would go. Liz said that there are a lot of competitions that Austin wont be that strong in. Liz said that she will be going on the block from here on out unless she wins, while Julia will not touch the block. Liz said that if Julia can find a way to win an HoH, she will have a good argument at the end.
3:00-4:00 PM: John told Austin to let him know whenever he wants to talk about what he wants to do game wise. Austin said that he wants the twins to figure out what they want to do, then they can tell him. John said that it’s best for his relationship with Liz to let them figure it out. Austin said that he is not sure which one staying is best for his game. John said that he is in a Final 2 with one and she is good. Austin agreed but said that she would probably beat him at the end. On the other hand, he said that Julia could be eliminated next week cause people would not want her to get to Final 3 because everyone else would take her over them. Austin said that even if they ask everyone to vote a certain way, he could still vote for his girlfriend because his vote wont matter anyway. John agreed.
4:00-5:00 PM: John told Steve that they cannot let the remaining twin make it past the Final 4, because then they cannot trust each other not to take the twin to the end because they can beat them. Steve asked if he thinks that Liz is going this week. John said that Liz is better at competitions than Julia is, which would be the reason for making that decision. John said that taking Liz out makes sense for them but they can ultimately do whatever the twins want. John said that it’s the same either way, since they have to win HoH no matter who stays. Steve said that the twins that will pick the move that is best for them, though John felt that there was no good alternative for the twins. John explained that Austin and Liz will remain huge targets if Liz stays, while Austin would become a free agent if he loses Liz and Julia stays. John said that it will all come down to winning competitions. Steve said that that’s exactly his point, since they have to keep the person that they can beat. Steve also encouraged John to continue working on building his relationship with Austin.
5:00-6:00 PM: Liz told Julia that she could see Austin taking John to the finals over Steve, since Austin knows that he would win over John. Julia asked Liz if she thinks that Austin would take her to the Final 2. Liz said that she doesn’t even want to think about it. She said that it is a sore subject, imagining that she gets to the Final 3 with Austin and then he cuts her. Liz told Julia that that is another reason that it is probably best that she goes instead of Julia. Julia said that she is mad that Austin compared her to Victoria, saying that she may be able to get to third. Julia said that Victoria sucked at everything and she has been so close to winning a lot of things. Julia said that it was such an insult to compare her to Victoria. Liz agreed that it is kind of rude.
7:00-8:00 PM: Vanessa told Steve that he is a favourite to win the game. Steve asked if he would beat her. Vanessa said 100%. Steve asked why she would ever take him then. Vanessa said that she would because everyone would beat her, except for possibly Julia. Steve was telling Vanessa that he is not looking forward to the rest of the game. Vanessa told him that he is in a good spot and John and Julia are the ones that are most likely to be targeted next week. Vanessa said that her ideal Final 3 is with Austin and Steve. Vanessa asked what his is, but Steve said that he does not know. Vanessa’s argument was that you would want people there that have won HoHs if you have, otherwise the other person would try to take you out for someone that hasn’t won. Vanessa said that she predicts that Steve will win the game. Steve again asked her why she wouldn’t target him. Vanessa said that he is not more of a threat to her than someone that she doesn’t have a Final 2 with. Vanessa pointed out that a path to the finals is better than no path at all. Steve said that she knows that he would take her. Vanessa said that she hopes so, since they gave their word. Vanessa told Steve that she accepts the reality that she is playing for second place. Vanessa said that she wants Julia to stay and hopes that the twins reach that conclusion on their own, to make things easier. Steve asked who Vanessa would nominate next week. She said that she would have to nominate Austin and Julia.
9:00-10:00 PM: Austin told Vanessa that his biggest fear is being in the Final 3 with John and Steve. He said that you are then forced to win out or else those two will be in the Final 2. Austin said that it would be very difficult to beat them at that point. Austin said that he really wants to win this upcoming HoH in order to prevent them from making Final 4. Vanessa asked who he prefers to send out. Austin said Steve, while Vanessa said John. Austin was worried about Steve winning the Final 4 veto competition, but Vanessa said that they are less desirable people to take to the end if John is there. Vanessa said that Steve is the favourite to win the game if Liz is gone. Austin said that both James and Meg told him that they would not vote for Steve. Austin said that if the Final 4 is the two of them, a twin and John, then John is the only one that they have to worry about. Vanessa asked Austin what his ideal Final 3 is. He said himself, Vanessa and a twin. Vanessa asked what he would do at that point. Austin explained that he would hope that the two of them could get to the final part of the last HoH competition together and then he would lose it so that he does not have to make the decision. As for next week, Austin and Vanessa made a deal that they will not use each other as the pawn, using Julia instead, if John or Steve wins the veto.
12:00-1:00 AM: Austin and Liz chatted in the hammock. Austin told Liz to let him know what she is thinking. Liz said that she is thinking about possibly leaving on Thursday. He told her that she doesn’t have to. Liz said that she and Julia have a huge decision to make. Liz felt that Julia would definitely get further than she would. Austin said that that’s not necessarily true. Liz said that she feels like she is the biggest target in the house. Austin argued that everyone is a big target and it comes down to winning HoH at this point. Liz thought that nobody would target Julia anyway. Austin disagree and said that people will take her out because they will be afraid of others taking Julia over them. Austin said that he knows the game very well and Liz is probably going to win America’s Favorite anyway. Liz said Johnny Mac will. Austin told Liz that people at home would be very upset if she left, but she needs to make the decision in her heart. Liz said that she has a feeling that Austin wants her to go, since it is not best for his game to have her there. Austin said that he does not want her out and he doesn’t care if it’s worse for his game, because he does not want to spend a minute apart from her. Liz asked who is going to want to take her to Final 2. Austin said that he will. Liz said that she is not stupid and she knows that he has a Final 2 with Vanessa. Austin explained that everyone has Final 2 deals with everyone, so it doesn’t mean anything. Liz eventually walked away. Austin followed her to the bedroom. Liz said that she feels like the game is going to tear them apart even more if she stays. Liz told Austin that part of her wants to throw in the towel but part of her doesn’t. She asked Austin to promise that he would go after Steve. Austin said of course. Liz was crying and said that Julia has always gotten the short end of the stick in her life. She said that she wants to stay badly but she wants to give this opportunity to Julia. Liz mentioned that Julia wants to do whatever is best for them, though they don’t know what is best.
2:00-3:00 AM: Steve was alone in the HoH room and said that he is skeptical of Vanessa but the Austwins needs to be broken up. He said that he would be a fool to do anything else.
3:00-4:00 AM: Steve practiced his speech for tomorrow’s veto ceremony. He apologized to the twins, saying that he knows that they have a dream and he is about to singlehandedly put an end to it. He wanted to emphasize that his decisions this week have been entirely strategic. Steve mentioned that he remembered reading online about a triplet twist and he would have never guessed that he would be the HoH to split up the twins. Steve said that he wishes that Liz, John or himself had won the PoV. Steve wanted to target Austin. Steve said that he needs to compliment the twins on how far they have come and what they have accomplished. He said that there is a huge difference between Liz and Julia and Adria and Natalie. He went on to say that there is one difference between them, since Adria and Natalie were split up and evicted almost immediately after entering the game together. On the contrary, he said that Liz and Julia survived seven evictions on their own.
