| Chess with the enemy |
Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wonky wombats:
- A whole lotta nuthin' goin' down overnight.
- Steve realized that while he works his mind a lot, he's physically lazy. Five minutes of working out tires him.
- Vanessa thinks they should plan just in case this week is double eviction. She and Steve tried to figure out the timing of last season's double evictions.
- Vanessa also toyed with the idea of voting Julia out with Johnny Mac.
- I don't think Steve would go for that, though. He has a crush on her.
- So far, everyone has been thinking it should come next week.
- BB gave them alcohol.
- Of course, half the house can't drink it because they're Have Nots.
- Meg thinks Vanessa putting her up is personal, not strategy.
- Johnny Mac told Meg he's mad at them all for evicting him and would target Steve and Vanessa if he won HoH.
- Yeah, right.
- Austin and James agreed not to put each other up if they (one of them) win HoH.
- While I understand James wanting to vote out Vanessa, need I mention TWINS and a TWIN'S "BOYFRIEND" in the house?
- If the Austwins do make it to the final three, I guess they will have earned it.
- Sigh.

How dare James steal my plan to get Austin to vote out Julia and blame it on Steve. lol Starting at about 4am BB time he comes up with a plan that sounds very similar to what I suggested they should do a few threads back and sounds like they are seriously going to try it. That would be so great to finally break up the twins and Austin. They should have never been a thing in the first place.
James also told Meg if he wins HOH he's putting up Vanessa & Steve. If Meg is indeed evicted and James wins HOH on DE Thursday and follows through with this plan, IMO it will probably be GAME OVER. The Austwins can start counting the money!
And Meg has said she won't campaign against Julia...DUH!!
In the previous comments there was some talk about hair style & appearance. Sharon N mentioned imagining what some us might look like. I have often wondered that too.
I can say that I am 'follically challenged'! I look a lot like Matt Lauer now, both in hair style & physical appearance. When I was younger I was told I resembled the actor Sam Shepard.
LOL, I like that term, follically challenged. I don't have that problem but I do have a problem with my hair wanting to turn grey. How dare it do that to me. =)
Lol @ Loyola wants their shirt back. And maybe she watched a season or two of BB with America's player before the season started, or while she had 3 days to wait until switching with the twin.
In my 30s/40s, my hair was frosted along front. After reaching mid-40s, my rather thick hair has been kept shorter (mostly for convenience, but I also think shorter hair is generally more flattering on older women). In my 60s (and now 70s), frosting became no longer necessary. Ha! Oddly enough, the 'silver threads' are mostly where the frosting used to reside. Now, if my shape would just cooperate and return to what it was in my 40's..... lol
Not holding out much hope, but maybe James will decide to go totally rogue and take out the stronger mental/physical players.
Jackie,You're spot on about James wanting to vote out Vanessa when he should be thinking about Austwins. He's just the latest HG out for revenge instead of thinking it through..ala Jackie,Becky.
Now for my hair...I was born with a full head of hair down to my shoulders. 1 month old I had my first haircut @@ I still have a full head of hair with no signs of thinning although it has turned grey. I wear it medium length just covering the tops of my ears. Every male on my father's side of the family has passed with a full head of hair. I'm certain I will too.
David,I fought the grey for a while,getting it dyed,. Eventually I gave up and accepted it.
Wanna laugh? Go to 8/25 3:32pm BBT cam 2 and watch Jmac gag after Aushole & Lizard
leave the room.
About 2:30AM, Austin said to James: "I just want you to know I am not a Clay in this game. I'm not going to fall on a sword for someone I just met." HA!!!
Shall we place bets that he won't keep Liz around for more than a few days?
Just keep her a while longer to 'use' ... for 'whatever' and any publicity he feels he can reap?
I don't think James is out for revenge against Vanessa, she's had targets for what ever reason she saw fit, aren't you suppose to try and get who you feel is competition out the game, the people who are trying to play the game (which include Vanessa) all have made statement about getting people because they are good comp players or felt that person was running the game (clay/shelli) so what's wrong with James wanting Ms Paranoid out.
Doesn't Vanessa have an alliance with everyone in the house except James, how is she any different from Austwins, she just want someone else to her dirty work of not getting blood on her HANDS. If you can James get her out of there.
As always, they can make all the plans they want, but individual plans still depend on who wins HOH and POV. Seems to me that the Vanessa/Steve/JMac trio would be harder to beat in comps than the AusTwins. Even if James was aware of the Vanessa 3-some, the temptation would still be more tempting for for to put up Vanessa/Steve and then work with JMac on the other 3... if Meg goes.
• [Per Jackie] Austin and James agreed not to put each other up if they (one of them) win HoH.
Recall that Shelli made that same deal with James when he was HOH. That was the week that she went home.
Sharon - you were right! Hearing that Aushole was back at the bottom did make me happy; it's where he belongs - at the bottom.
Vanimal DOES have "deals" with everyone, which she breaks weekly. This season, any "deal" should be the code word for "haha, eff you". Hey, it's a game!
Uncartie - you cracked me up with "Lizard", woohoo! So you're a silver fox with a beard?
Ed - Bald men are sexy, I mean - look at Andre Agassi! *mm, my 1st love*
And yes - imagining David with long hair is interesting.
**Hey! That gives me an idea! Can we all put a pic of ourselves as our avatars for this week, so we can all see one another? If you object, no problem, if not - it'll be good to see you, my friends!**
I'm shorter and curvy, med lngth brown hair which I usually wear in a sloppy bun, usually no makeup, nothing spectacular. I for sure don't look my age, *whew*
Here's me. ~~~~~~~~>
I'm wearing my Roger Federer gold logo cap, which I always do during any tourney. It brought him the win 2 weeks ago, and I hope it brings him luck at the US Open now! ♥
Hope to see all my pool friends faces soon ! ☺
Everyone has so many cross deals, especially Vanessa and Austin. All the 'deals' that have been made can't possibly be kept. They are going to have to start 'eating their own young' within the next few days. lol
James really has nothing with anyone... other than that agreement with Austin. If James is still there after Thursday night, it won't take long for him to understand he won't be able to keep that deal more than 'maybe' one time, and that's even risky.
Petals... you are so much younger than I thought you'd be. Pretty dang cute too!!! :)
Posted my picture. It was taken about 10 yrs ago though.
I know... no fair, right? Too bad, ya gets what ya gets!!! lol
Well Aushole is back up to #16. :(
But by tonight, he should slip back down to his proper roosting spot.
Hey Sharon, quit stealing my idea's of posting a picture from a while back. =) Since I am in my low 50's I will have to decide if I want to post a selfie (have never taken one before) of current or wait for my battery for my camcorder to arrive I ordered yesterday. Stupid camcorder has no a/c connector and a special battery. I have video of me and my dog on there I want to keep and it being on special sized mini tape that demands a special battery is not a good place to store it.
Ok, I won't cheat anymore... found a picture that's current.
It was taken in Hawaii this year. :)
Posting my photo. It's from a blogger's picnic in October 2010, when I was 65 years old. Yes, I really am that short (4'9"ish). I've since grown out the bangs, and my ponytail is to my waist. I figure I have a limited time to grow it, so I'm going for it. I want to be that old lady in the grocery store with wild hair to her backside and weird floral headbands.
OK here is my most recent picture (taken about 2 weeks ago). Like David I have never taken a 'selfie' & like Sharon I didn't want to cheat & use a younger picture
OK Sharon, I saw what you wrote before you deleted it. LOL This is as current a picture as it gets, from a few minutes ago. =) My hair is about to the middle of my back. Since I haven't cut it in over 10 years I would say that is as long as it gets having fine hair.
I'm so glad Petals suggested this... it's nice to put a fact to the name, or pseudo name. :) Some may not want to post a picture (for whatever reason), and that's ok, but I'm hoping a few will pop in during the evening and decide to go ahead and join the 'reveal.'
Love all the pics. I don't have a face shot that I like, but her I am at Caesars Palace, Vegas a couple of years ago. Drink in hand, LOL
You are all GORGEOUS!! So nice to see everyone xoxox
We have the hottest room ever!
Ed - you look familiar...
Monty - I actually had a drink in my hand, too (as always). LOL
Thanks for the pics, keep them up ♥♥♥♥
I agree Sharon, it's kinda' cool to see who we've been talking with!
I'm smiling, for real. I just love seeing everyone.
Agree Petals! Good Lookin' crowd, hope more to come.
P.S. You are way younger than I imagined!
I'm old, really. I don't look my age (yet). Of course, my next Botox appointment is next Friday, so thank my doctor. LOL
Monty, Luv Vegas! I try to go back whenever I can........to visit my money$$
y'all are funny.
I hear ya Ed on visiting our money, LOL. I always leave a loser except for that trip. We decided to wait until the last night to do any serious gambling and I actually came out a winner that time. Just got lucky on a quarter slot machine at the right time. Had about $8 dollars in and hit $680.00. I quit right there because I learned my lesson on the slots when I was in my twenties, LOL. That was actually my first trip back to Vegas since the late 80's. Developed a fear of flying that kept me grounded for around ten of fifteen years. :))
Vanessa is starting to talk in her never-ending circles again. Maybe she's starting to build suspicions among The Great Unwashed so maybe Julia can be voted out and the blame can be laid elsewhere?
______________
Ed, that's all I've ever done in Vegas... visit my $$$ and leave more for next time. lol
After 13 years, I visited Vegas in July (more like passing though; 2 days in/out) and couldn't believe how much Vegas has changed. It had always felt awe-inspiring... just driving down the main drag. All those huge, gorgeous hotel-casinos. But it's so cluttered-up now... a ton of touristy junk shops (t-shirts, etc.) plunked down right next to the sidewalks. From the street, many of those stunning hotels are virtually blocked from view. It wasn't the same at all and left me disappointed, with no desire to return. I found myself using mom's favorite line, "I liked it like it used to was." LOL
She's definitely planting those seeds in Steve's head. She asked him about what if JMac and James voted out Liz and Austin did too just to pin it on Steve. He was shocked that it could even happen not knowing that it's been bounced around as an option. I honestly don't think we know who will go home on the first vote. Lots of scheming going on last night and today and we have a full day tomorrow for things to turn. Vanessa is also trying to plan on what to do if it is indeed a DE Thursday. Someone should as we all know. :))
Repeat of Helen "ITS TO SOON TO VOTE THEM OUT" Vanessa, Steve , JohnMac, James. What in the world are you waiting for to go after the three headed monster????????? Can not believe 4 people in the house are that stupid. James and Steve are suspose to be such SUPER fans. Have they the first rule in BB? Break up couple not to mention another one added to that. GEE WHEE/ As all of them one by one walk out the door maybe they will be planning when is the right time to try for one of the three.
On a side funny about Vegas that will show my age... the last time I'd gone to Vegas before this last trip was in the late 80's to early 90's and the newest casino on the strip was the Mirage. You had a take a trolley between the casinos on the strip (wll we did because I was with my Mom, Aunt and Grandma) and now you can go out one big hotel casino right into the next one. I agree that it has changed a lot. We used to always stay at the Golden Nugget in old Vegas but stayed on the strip the last time. Fun trip and would love to go back again sometime. Vegas is just a blast if you don't gamble too much during the front half of the visit. Save the gambling for the last day/night and then you don't go home as miserable, LOL
Anon,
There's still a good chance Austin will get Helen'd.
Sharon - Gosh, I hope so!
Despite all this wheeling & dealing, I think Vanimal fully intends to vote out Julia. And I think Aushole will too. Both will try to pin the vote(s) on Steve & JMac.
Aushole & Vanimal BOTH have too much to benefit from Julia gone to risk wasting this opportunity, IMO
We'll see...
Sharing some "I'm so old that I remember when" Vegas trivia:
yep, like when there was NO freeway running through the city, and the 'strip' was a meager 2 lanes!
Does anyone else remember when statues inside Caesar's Palace actually lined the long driveway leading up to the entrance? ha, I do! But when the main drag became 6 lanes, the city took out took out the land leading up to those hotel-casinos. Caesar's lost their long driveway and had to put the statues elsewhere.
I liked Helen but just wanted to reach through my screen and slap her sometimes. When is the right time to finally go after them, when they are handing them the check for 500k? Unfortunately, we see this almost every year, no one wants to stand up and do what is needed to get the big players out. They think it will put a target on them while the big players take them out anyway because they blew their one shot at getting rid of them.
Possessive/controlling much?
Liz was jumping rope in the backyard. Austin got angry and told her to stop because he's afraid guys will be creeping on her. @@
Vegas trivia: The old street trolleys that used to run up and down the strip have been replaced with a monorail. It was a shock to see how much it had changed between trips.
I actually hope that Julia does go home. That reduces Austin and Liz's chance of controlling the second HOH and vote. I know, I know that sounds odd rooting against my pool girl but I want the drama to be high on Thursday night. I want JMac or Steve to win and take a shot at Austin/Liz. They haven't been targeted the entire summer. It's time to do it.
Never been to Vegas (prolly never will). I have no trivia, except that Prince had a gig at the Rio in 2006.
I sure hope James wins Hoh and put Vanessa up and get rid of her, but again Steve and JM av don't have a clues that they will not win in the the end against Vanessa, I really don't want JMac to win either. He's way too silly and has not played a good game either.
I guess Austiwins haven't figured out that Vanessa is probably working with JMac too, why else would she not put him up instead of Julia .
One thing I will say about Vegas, Win / Lose / or Draw, always had a Good time!
On BB; I really don't have a horse in this race, never really warmed up to this cast. But based on gameplay I feel Vanessa is most deserving at this point. Maybe James second.
Steve & JohnnyMac's game have been a big disappointment for me. (Although JMac has been somewhat entertaining...= Bobcat)
Can't stand the Austwins & Meg has been a non-factor.
Agree Ed.
OH! Yes, Ed - I like CoCo. I DO NOT LIKE Sloane Stephens. I hope CoCo is the heir apparent to American womens' tennis.
Meanwhile, all my boys advance, yay. Told ya - my hat works *wink*
I lived in Vegss for about 2 years in 76 & 77 when Vegas was still Vegas. Same time period as when the movie "Casino" took place. No McDonalds on the strip or silly amusement parks other than maybe Circus Circus. The Dunes still stood tall and there was 1 freeway I-15 that ran parallel to the strip. I dealt 21 and roulette at the 4 Queens and then at the Royal Casino on Convention Center drive. It was a wild ride.,
Petals, Yes your boy Roger cruised in straight sets! I'm not sure who all are your other boys? NoJO?
I've been following Stan Wawrinka (Stan the Man!) mainly because he looks just like one of my cousins. He struggled a bit today but won in 3 long sets.
Sure can tell excitement in the BB House has slowed to a snail pace! lol
We've hijacked Jackie's thread, but we've managed to still talk game.
And it's all been interesting and in good fun. :)
I love Stan, Roger's buddy. Did you read what Nick (A-hole) Kyrgios did to him a few weeks ago? Andy's playing Nick now, soon to eliminate him back Down Under. (the Australians are giving tennis a bad name lately)
My others are Stan, Nole, Feli Lopez, David Ferrer, Marin Cilic & Jack Sock. I have my eye on a few up & comers, too.*wink*
So just now haveing a chance to get on here after work to catch up with the goings on. Petals thanks for suggeting the pic idea! Nice to put a face with folks after so many years. So I am joining in. Too be fair I had just got my hair cut and colored in this pic from a couple months ago. I have to get rid of the gray every few months.Seems to be coming back faster now though..lol
I really hope they are smart enough to vote out Julia first this week. But they havent been very smart all season. I still dont understand why they let her in the game to start with! Guess we will see Thursday......
Still love this cast, and my mind is turning more towards JMac/James and Vanessa. I've been rooting for Vanessa all along because it kept my pool girl safe and in there. Now I'm more like the others here and wishing that somebody/anybody will take a crack at them. If they don't then I'll probably wind up with my first ever BB pool winner. Problem is, I'm not liking her so much these days. Shhhhhh, you didn't hear me say that :))
Oh yes we did Monty, we heard you and we'll hold your feet to the fire!! lol
I'm pretty much on the same bandwagon... anybody but the AusTwins.
I'd like Julia gone too but it occurs to me that Van may think James will be more useful to her without Meg. If Van wanted to flip it, wouldn't she need to start pretty darned soon?
I think I said earlier on this season that I really don't have a feel for who I want to root for until around mid-season or something like that. Of course I've rooted for Liz, and by proxy, Austin, Julia and Vanessa but I've really liked James and Meg lately and Johnny Mac. I still think Steve is sketchy even though it's working for him. I honestly don't care who wins but it's been fun rooting for the hated one again this season. I miss the days in BB8 when PlaidChick and I were about the only ones rooting for Dick and Daniele, LOL. btw, does anyone know whatever happened with PC? She just stopped posting after around S10.
Agirlsmom,
In Vanessa's circular-file kind of way, she has actually been planting those seeds today.
Maybe she's just seeing where everyone's head as at, or maybe it's to work her Reversal-of-Fortunes magic by showtime on Thursday. Austin constantly shows that he thinks he's a lot smarter than everyone else, all while Vanessa is leading him around by the nose. I'm thinking, if she decides it's her best move, she should be able to get him to vote against Julia the easiest. :D
I used to be on more regularly many years ago. I remember the name plaid chick. But I mostly remember a couple that typed in a weird shorthand, kinda he said/she said all in caps. And then they got robbed or had a home invasion or something. Does anyone remember that? I thought of it when Monty mentioned the other gal.
That's good to hear Sharon that maybe Van is considering the Julia ouster. Really looking forward to Thursday and the DE. It'll be exciting if nothing else!
Vanessa told Austin today that it is hard enough to get yourself to the end for a chance at the win, he is trying to get a herd there and it wont work. So I think she was planting the seeds that Julia needs to go, she is just going slow with him on it.
Has Meg approached Austin yet with their plan? I can't watch the feeds during the day/evening because of slow internet connection. Too many people slowing down the connection. The price I pay for living out in the middle of nowhere you can see by my pic. Lucky to have DSL at all out here let alone cable or fiber optics.
Agirlsmom,
I remember the couple you are talking about, supposedly robbed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but seems like it was discovered that their persona was as fake as the robbery.
David,
Meg was talking to Austin today but didn't get a chance. I think they decided she should approach him later tonight.
Tue 8:12 PM BBT Austin to Steve: "I want to get a Jeff type of connection with the show." He's hoping CBS will hire him.
Yeah...Wanted: Most Hated Houseguest to promote the show.
Dream on Bigfoot
I almost choked over that one too uncartie!!
Just now, Steve told Austin, he bets he picks up a lot of girls with that ponytail beard. (being sarcastic) :D
Bigfoot, LOL
The worm is turning and the best thing about HNs this week is that JMac is in the room with Meg/James and Julia is out and about with the rest of the house. I think this can actually turn into a Julia eviction Thursday. GO TEAM HAVE NOTS :)))
YAY TEAM!!! (sans Julia) lol
Agirlsmom, I seem to remember the couple you mentioned above and the name JOEY comes to mind. ???
Yes Ed! One of the names was Joey. Wow - I wonder how long ago that was?!
I love seeing these faces! xoxox
Uncartie - CRACKING UP over the "dream on Bigfoot". BwHAHAAHAHAHAHA
Picture please Uncartie!
It would be nice to see a picture of uncartie, but....
Hockey is my favorite sport, and uncartie's avatar is displaying one of my favorite jersey logos. :)
