Big Brother 17

I am thinking the only deal that anyone would give them is the one that Austin wants to go for and that's to get rid of one of the sisters right away and I can't imagine Liz and Julia aren't planning on trying to make it to final 2 together

Well of course they are, they won't, but they will try. I think I like Julia better than Liz, Julia is not down with the showmance to Austin, at all. I don't think Liz is that interested in him either, just playing it up for his protection.

yea the thing I read said it was Liz who told Vanessa she doesn't want a showmance.. I think Liz does like Austin, but she is a flirt and does not seem like the type of woman who likes to be controlled..

Someone posted some modelling stuff Liz and Julia did together and they have done some nude stuff together

Why did austin vote for Audrey to stay?

To make everyone think Steve is America's player

Oh. Ugh

So far my favorite is johnny mac. I like Shelly without Clay. And I adore Steve, just seems like a nice kid. I like how he was truly trying to understand Audrey 's life. His good bye message was sweet. I applaud the entire house for how they accepted her.

Looks like this will be the noms:
Vanessa: Becky & Clay (Clay volunteered, Becky may have as well)

Jackie: Liz & James (both people that put Jackie on the block when they were HoH)

The backdoor plan is Steve for Jackie, Austin for Vanessa.

A F8 Dark Moon alliance is: Clay, Shelli, Vanessa, Jackie, Meg, James, Jason, Becky. Either Clay or James on the block would be saved by the other alliance members.

Allll about the backdoor.

People are going to be expecting to be backed doored.. why Steve tho?

So what Austin is going to spend the week trying to convince the house Steve is America's player?!

I honestly don't think I like anyone right now, maybe Vanessa.. I don't get the Johnny Mac thing he is such a creeper

He's hilarious! And he honestly got me when he pointed out the twins crown.

I do like Vanessa, she's very smart.

lol I wonder if he just comes across either as funny or creepy lol My coworker thinks he's super creepy too.

I like Steve, he is just very socially awkward.

Austin has some sort of weird double personality thing going on.. I still can't get over that he calls himself Judas and has referenced Judas Priest but is in love with Clay Aikin... I think his soul might be a little lost..

Judas is his wrestling name. They want Steve out because how well he knows the game, if he makes it far he will win a lot of comps, I don't get why Clay and Shelli haven't been targeted. I hope Jackie stays hoh, then hopefully Liz will win pov

I think Jmac talks really loud in dr's, it's pretty annoying. I honestly don't like anyone this season, which is a first. I just want to see the twins enter. And I thought there was supposed to be a twist everyweek, this will be 2 weeks in a row without one. Also, please let there never be another season with BOTB

Each week Julie Chen will answer a few questions about the latest events on Big Brother.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: There have been some Big Brother casts from the past that may not have been as open to the experience of playing this game and living with a transgender woman, but this cast had no issues with that whatsoever. As host, how nice was it to see that acceptance?
JULIE CHEN: Seeing that acceptance was beautiful. I think, and I HOPE we are living in a time when those past BB casts would have been open and accepting too. If not, part of why I think our cast was so accepting was because of their youth. It tends to be the older generation of HGs that were raised during a different time that makes it harder for them to accept right off the bat. But what we have found is that most, if not all of these older HGs who tell us during the interview process that they are against certain groups, then change their mind after a summer of Big Brother.

Although Audrey showed remarkable courage in going on national television to share her story and become the first transgender contestant ever, she also became the first player to ever skip the Veto ceremony and refused to follow the Have Nots eating rules, resulting in an extra penalty vote against her. How much did that disappoint you considering how many thousands of people would do anything to play this game?
It didn’t disappoint me at all. Audrey made the right choice. She put taking care of her soul ahead of the game. She also knew one more vote for eviction against her was not going to tip the balance.

We saw Audrey in the diary room for five hours before the eviction ceremony. What was happening in there and how concerned were you all that she would quit before being voted out?
In terms of what was going on in there? How much time do you have? Seriously though, I was not all that concerned she would self-evict. People have to do what’s right for them as a human being first and game second. That being said, I am glad she didn’t. I think she would have regretted making that history as well where people would have been able to call her a quitter. She did an amazing interview with me afterwards and was self-reflective. I hope she and all our houseguests take their time in there as a growing experience where they learn more about themselves.

Who has impressed you the most gameplay-wise so far this season?
Gameplay-wise I am most impressed by Vanessa. She is laser-focused and doesn’t let her emotions get the most of her. Or at least not to a point where it hurts her game. She is in there to win and spends her time wisely.

Because Shelli and Clay are like the heads of the biggest alliance in the house, couples are usually the last to get targeted no?

I am going to write them and give them my idea of have 2 HoHs and 4 nominees but having the HoHs compete against each other to keep the HoH status

I don't like the 2 Hoh's at all, get rid of it!

lol really? I like it, I think it helps keep sanity in the house when more people get a letter from home and their goodies

It would be better if the 2 HoH's were on opposite sides, but in 2 seasons, both HoH's have worked together everytime, it is a stupid twist.

Vanessa nominated Clay/Becky, Jackie nominated Liz/James. James is supposed to throw it, Austin is the backdoor target

Did clay go up as a pawn?

Yea

everyone is going to be living in fear of being back doored this season

Another reason the BOTB sucks, every eviction has been a backdoor this season.

true, but HoHs duking it out would eliminate that lol I just really want to see the comps for 1 vs 1

I hate BOTB

Yea, from what I have read, the majority of people hate BOTB, hopefully this is the last season we ever see it

Lol, they are so convinced Liz will not win the POV, so they sit Austin next to her. I hope Austin wins POV and saves Liz, it will royally screw their whole plan up.

Did they tell Liz what Austin said? What did she say?

Julia is in the house right now, she knows and is down with the plan. Vanessa is going to tell Liz when she renters the game. Vanessa wants to be dethroned so she can save face with Austin, and he won't expose their alliances. Austin believes that Steve is the BD plan.

They told Julia that Austin wants her out?

Yes, she knows and wants him out, she switched with Liz right before BOTB, she has no clue about Austin. Liz won BOTB by herself, she didn't know James was trying to throw it. Which means both twins will enter the game on Thursday. Vanessa is still HoH and now she will have to backdoor Austin. I hope Austin wins POV and they vote out Clay.

That would be awesome. But I really can't stand Austin, either.

Yea, me either, but he's better than Clay.

It's a toss up for me. I don't know which one I dislike more. Lol.

Clay won POV, it appears Austin will be backdoored

It looks like Austin might be staying, they have figured out the otherside of the house(James, Jason, Meg, Jackie, Becky, Jason and Johnny are an alliance) is against them. They will probably put up Meg to ensure Becky goes.

I have to give props to Liz, she completely flipped the script to get Becky sent home this week.

Nice I can't wait for Julia to be in the house!

And now it looks like Jackie will be the replacement nominee, and sent out, only because of how spiteful she will be when Austin doesn't go up. If it happens it will be the first time a HoH was sent home the week they were dethroned

Hmm interesting

Now it looks like Jason will be the replacement nominee, they think he is the leader of the other side. The POV meeting is this afternoon so they still have time to change their minds

lol is this Shelli and Cay who can;t make up their minds. Lol I saw someone post that they don;t don;t want to update on Shelli and Clay anymore cause they are just going to change their mind 5 minute slater

Clay removed him self from the block, Jason nominated and is the target. Liz and Austin are the ones who convinced the group to go for Jason, Clay and Shellie are taking most of the heat for it.

why do people lose their minds when they are lied to and why do people always give in... play the damn game

Ugh. Not what I wanted to happen. I kinda liked "the other side" of the house better.

Still not anyone who jumps out at me, I guess I like Vanessa and the twins the best, I don't like Clay or Shellie, Austin is a love sick puppy, James is an idiot, Jason annoys me, Becky is OK

what about Steve?


I am excited for the twins to get into the house I think they will spice things up once they are both in the house
