Big Brother 17: Live Feeds into Saturday - July 11

The Chess Kings

Well, it's Gronk Week in the house. Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of "Life's just a party and parties weren't made to last" (thanks, Prince):

• That feeds block for the Battle of the Block was exasperatingly long last night. Was that length necessary?
• After the feeds finally returned, the outcome was one which had been planned all along -- John and James lost and remain on the block while Vanessa remains the HoH.
• Meg and Jason are safe.
• Technically, Austin isn't safe. But he's safe nonetheless as he's working with Vanessa. She wouldn't put him up as a replacement nominee. At least, not at this point in the game.
• Once again, John says he really didn't have to work to throw the comp as his partner (James this time) did so poorly.
• While blocked to the live feeds, we do get bits and pieces about the comp from conversations. This one had something to do with a maze and bubbles.
• Austin has now decided that Clay must be a twin and is trying to come up with small differences.
• @@
• It seems the hamsters were given alcohol during our blocked feeds. Jason mentioned they didn't get any alcohol at all last week.
• Aw, poor little rodents.
• Jason, knowing he's now safe, really doesn't want to be chosen to play in the Power of Veto.
• Audrey, thinking she could be the target despite reassurances from Vanessa that she's not, wants to play. If she wins it and doesn't use it, she'd be safe without a worry.
• Jeff thinks Audrey's the target.
• Unbeknownst to him, HE himself is the target.
• I don't mind that at all.
• Steve told Lizia that it's a waste to try to pretend not to be twins at this point.
• He's right.
• Everyone knows.
• Steve might just have found himself an alliance home -- working with Vanessa and Austin.
• Vanessa told him that Audrey isn't the target, despite the rumors they're spreading through the house.
• Jeff is the real target with James as the alternate Plan B.
• I myself am a bit leery about Austin working with Steve. Prior to this, Steve was one of his pet peeves.
• His new alliance is already lying to him about when both twins can enter the house.
• And, after Steve left them along, Vanessa warned Austin to be careful what he says because Steve catches and remembers everything.
• So, we have a shaky alliance. Maybe it will improve. At least Steve isn't the lone wolf cub anymore.
• He doesn't seem old enough to be a lone wolf. He must be a cub.
• Audrey told Jeff that she's a martyr, not a villain. 
• Oh, the drama of Audrey! The more I see of her, the less I see evil. I see drama. It's a good thing she works from home in real life.
• Austin, the big mastermind of "conceal the twin twist," doesn't think Lizia is working hard enough at it.
• Doesn't he realize EVERYBODY IN THE HOUSE KNOWS?!?!
• Sheesh.
• So, there ya go.
• May Jeff nor Audrey win the Power of Veto ...!

Wanted a relaxation week
