Big Brother 17: Live Eviction, HoH Show Blog Party

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? Will the winner of the Last Laugh be able to actually affect the vote tonight? (Shh ... we know who won it, but not everybody follows the live feeds.) Who will be the new HoH? (Anybody but Clay, please.)

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

But, first ... let's remind folks of the blog pool standings (thanks go to ORKMommy!):

Audrey - David, Chase, Orkmommy, Nicole K

Austin - Petals, Tammy, marthalight, Dr_Celine

Becky - Glenn, Jackie, Indiana Jane, Brian

Da'Vonne - jessica UNderwood, SueGee, Ed in Ohio, Nickelpeed

James - uncartie, Marlo, Jackie~juju, ML

Jason - Witt, Sharon, WolfpackRed

Shelli - Delee, Sharon N, chrob

Steve - KelseyNY, Carrie, K

Vanessa - Chacha, Heather Reyes, T-Town Chick

EVICTED:

Jace - Becky in TX, CherylinNC, JOKATS, CaelaXO

Let's get this party started! 

Recap first, of course. Now I'm hearing loud thunder here. If I vanish, it's power related. Aw, Shelli is crying because she's sending Da'Vonne home. Her choice all along, of course. Too bad, so sad for her.

BB Takeover time! A phone booth is set up in the house. Kathy will call with 15 tips, only one will prevent three people from casting a vote this week. Jason gets a tip to be less annoying. On and on. Lose weight, less sun. Da'Vonne gets the 7th call and wins the Last Laugh.

Day goes around campaigning for votes. Audrey even agreed to vote to keep her (for her own nefarious reasons). 

New England Patriots "Rock" is throwing the next BB Takeover. I don't follow football so I have no clue how to spell his last name.

Onto Lizia segment. Da'Vonne has them figured out and tells Jason. Jason tells Jeff, James and a bunch of others. Now everybody knows. Da'Vonne tries to work it for a vote.

Da'Vonne decided earlier today who to block. Julie reveals the blocked voters -- Becky, Jeff and Jackie. They have to go to the dining room. It isn't revealed who won the power.

Final pleading time --
Da'Vonne - Strong people, pack of cowards in control of the house, loves Meg, Jason, I will protect you. Meg will be the beautiful pawn next to you next week if you keep her.
Meg - Loves you, please keep me in, all looking so hot tonight.

The votes to evict:
Jason -- Meg
Clay -- Da'Vonne
John -- Da'Vonne
Audrey -- Meg
Into commercial ...
Austin -- Da'Vonne
Liz -- Da'Vonne
Vanessa -- Da'Vonne
James -- Da'Vonne
Steve -- Da'Vonne

SHEEPLE! Da'Vonne is evicted. Sigh.

Rob Gronkowski (sp?) Gronk? Who the hell is this? I don't watch football. Takeover. No Have Nots. Likes winners, get to the backyard right now for the HoH comp. 

Into commercial (while I Google the football dude) ... I spelled it right! I spelled it right! I still have no clue who he is. I know Tom Brady is cute. That's all I know of New England Patriots football players.

Looks like a giant beer pong game. They have to catapult balls into the cups, each cup has a value, blues are the highest point. Top two win.

Liz - 23
Jackie - 0 eliminated
John - 0 eliminated
James - 23
Audrey - 17
Clay - 6
Jeff - 14
Becky - 0 eliminated
Austin - 28
Jason - 0 eliminated
Meg - 1
Steve - 0 eliminated
Vanessa - 23

Three-way tie Vanessa, Liz and James.

Liz - 22
James - 35
Vanessa - 52

Vanessa and Austin are the new HoHs!

My next live feeds update won't be posted until early morning (East Coast time) as I'll need fodder for posting!

Bug Brother 17: Live Feeds Overnight into Thursday - July 9

Jason can finally eat!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Malcontents:

• Jason gave twerking lessons to Meg and Steve in the bathroom.
• I don't make these things up.
• I'm glad no one decided to give Donny twerking lessons last season.
• Shelli thinks Audrey keeps showing up when others are in the HoH to spy on them.
• Audrey told Jeff that Steve said he won't sleep with her because she's a girl. She thinks he just doesn't like her. Jeff told her it's because of his (Steve's) concern for his image.
• I think he's also leery of her.
• Bur he isn't sleeping in the same bed as any girls so far.
• Yet another podcast went down despite some not being too enthusiastic about it being a nightly event.
• Remember, supposedly Audrey is going to save Da'Vonne and Day is willing to work with the devil to get the save.
• We'll see what happens with that.
• Audrey's not as influential on the others since her sneaky ways were exposed.
• Da'Vonne told Audrey she had six votes to stay, but wouldn't name names. After all, they all want Audrey out next week.
• The deal is that, if Da'Vonne stays and wins HoH next week, Audrey is safe.
• It might be a real deal. Audrey knows that the entire house wants her out next week. Da'Vonne staying might be her only hope.
• The twins are totally blown apart. Julia admitted to Vanessa that they exist and that Da'Vonne is the one who figured it out and spread the knowledge around. 
• She also gave her name.
• They'll always be Lizia to me.
• Vanessa told Chelli. Now they want to work with Lizia.
• They think that if both twins enter the house, that's another number for their side.
• They do have to last through the first five evictions, though.
• It looks like Da'Vonne is still running short of votes to stay. She'll probably be evicted tonight.
• Of course, they like to be sheeple. She may only have Jason's vote.
• We'll see.

Audrey doing her Audrey thing

Tonight she'll either stay or go

Gotta love the sink cam

Big Brother 17: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - July 8

Reciting the days and strategizing

Yo, save your drama for your Mama! That, of course, would be Da'Vonne ... Mama Day. It seems like they are saving it for her. Here's the latest from today in that Big Brother House of Discomfort:

• After I thought he had headed to bed, Steven returned to the backyard and talked to us about his strategy -- he wants to work his way into an alliance with Shelli, Clay, et al. Sigh. He also recited each day's action, comps, winners, etc.
• I don't think he realizes that Austin wants him out.
• I really think he'd be better off with Jason, John and Vanessa.
• He seriously wants to win HoH tomorrow and get Audrey out to gain house favor.
• Meg told Shelli and Clay that Audrey was trying to stir things up.
• What else is new?
• Vanessa said that Audrey told her Lizia would be voting for Da'Vonne to stay.
• Oh, Audrey, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive ...
• Da'Vonne confronted Audrey about telling everyone she (Day) was trying to flip the house.
• It's all a spool of lies! (Kudos to anyone who can tell the originator of that expression.)
• Audrey double-talked and circular-talked her way with Da'Vonne.
• Da'Vonne later confirmed with Lizia that she (Liz) did say she owed Da'Vonne because of the save in the fast forward, but did NOT say 100% that she was voting to keep her.
• Shelli thinks Jeff is a male Audrey.
• Heh.
• Austin continued his anti-Steve talk.
• And yet Steve thinks he might want to get in an alliance with him? Oy!
• Audrey fussed to Shelli that Da'Vonne "ripped her head off."
• Nah, she didn't. She just didn't believe any of the lies Audrey told to cover the lies she told others.
• The pressure is getting to Da'Vonne. She cried. Sigh.
• They got a chance to practice for the HoH comp. It involved rolling a ball down a chute and catapulting it into a trash can.
• Of course, the real comp should be a bit more elaborate.
• Well, unless they're in a budget crisis, that is.
• Lizia told Shelli that she's indeed voting for Da'Vonne to go. 
• Now, I refer to her as Lizia as I'm not sure which twin is which. While the hamsters have the twin twist figured out, they don't know the name of the twin.
• They decided to have a womens night in the house tonight. Oh, yeah. What fun.
• Jason said that he might have to self-evict if the podcast show goes on nightly all summer.
• Heh.
• Audrey continues to stir things up.
• Shelli told Becky and Jackie that Audrey said they were voting to keep Da'Vonne.
• And, get this ... Audrey told Da'Vonne she wants her to stay. She wants Da'Vonne to promise her safety next week if she wins HoH.
• Da'Vonne obviously can't believe a word she's saying.
• After all, it's AUDREY.
• Da'Vonne tells the cameras that if working with Audrey is what it takes to stay in the game, that's it. 
• We'll see.
• After all, it's AUDREY.

Things not quite as easy as planned

I don't find him attractive now

Losing these two wouldn't bother me

Da'Vonne calls out Audrey AGAIN

What a tangled web we weave ...

HoH comp practice

Big Brother 17: PoV Show Blog Party - July 8

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? Tonight we get to watch those silly hamsters as they vie for the Power of Veto!

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there! I'll be posting another live feeds report late this evening (late East Coast, not necessarily late West Coast).

After the BotB, Becky still thinks that the plan is to get Audrey out. Da'Vonne, whose bad strategy helped her to lose the BotB, thinks that John threw the comp. She thinks the house is working to get her out.

Ew, a bit on the Clay/Shelli showmance. Like I needed to see that.

PoV player picks time -- Shelli picks Houseguest's Choice and goes for Clay (what a shock!), John gets Meg, Da'Vonne gets Steve.

Clay went and told Audrey that she's safe this week.

Veto Comp time! It's kind of hard to explain. They listen to a list of items and, when the elevator opens, they have to figure out what's missing. It's done in rounds. John against Da'Vonne first. John wins the round and Da'Vonne is out. John chooses Steve who goes against Clay. Clay wins. Meg goes against Shelli. She plans on throwing it. Heh. Shelli brings the wrong item and is eliminated. John goes against Meg. She finally could throw the comp. The last round is John and Clay. John wins the PoV!

Clay continues to dominate the Shelli HoH. Shelli tells Becky she wants Day out. And, if she puts Audrey against her, Audrey will go home. They have to convince Becky that Day out this week, she can have a shot at Audrey next week.

Chelli wants to have John not use the veto. If he does, they need to come up with a pawn who nobody would vote out over Da'Vonne. They talk to John about not using the veto. He may sound like a dumb guy, but John says NO.

Shelli tells Liz she plans on putting her up as a pawn. Liz is scared. Austin would like to get a movement going to get Meg up as the pawn, not Liz. Austin goes to Shelli and tells her that no one would vote Meg out, but Liz might be a different case.

Veto meeting time. John, of course, saves himself. Shelli puts Meg on the block.

Everyone loves Meg. Da'Vonne vows to stay. We'll see.

Big Brother 17: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning - July 8

"Some sites put up bad screenshots."

Another day (well, night) in the lives of captive hamsters. What can I say? Here's what happened in the late night and overnight hours inside that Big Brother Home for Misfit Toys:

• Steve and Jason finally bonded some, initially over the fact that they're both such superfans of the show. Neither expected anyone else with such deep knowledge of BB.
• Both have been dreaming about being on BB since they were ten years old.
• When I was ten, I dreamed there was a volcano in the backyard.
• Those things are kind of the same when you think about them.
• Vanessa told Chelli that she's letting Da'Vonne think she might throw a vote to save her.
• She also said, although she didn't trust Audrey the way she once did, she would be willing to align with her.
• Steve went and told Vanessa about Lizia. I was surprised no one else had told her yet. It seems everyone except Lizia and Austin know the twins are figured out. Later he told Becky. Why am I thinking these folks already had been told? Maybe because it spread through the house like wildfire after Da'Vonne made the mistake of telling Jason.
• Jason is the only one who's actually giving Da'Vonne credit for noticing the differences in Lizia.
• Steve is working his strategy -- he's had more than a few other people he's played his "awkward socially" bit with and they're volunteering to help him by letting him know when he's getting annoying or too much. He now has Becky in his corner, by morning he'll have Jason.
• Austin said he would leave the house before cutting his hair as a punishment.
• They had the evening"podcast."
• Most studied intently as Lizia answered questions.
• Audrey was also interviewed. She claimed to be an astronaut, but then admitted it was only in her head.
• So she was deemed a space cadet.
• Lizia thought the podcast seemed very uncomfortable, like there was a different mood tonight.
• Ha. Maybe that's because everyone was studying her and her answers!
• Jason and Steve were the last ones up, talking show fandom until dawn.
• Jason thinks that Jace is in sequester and BB has an extra week planned so the second twin could join in on the show. He believes Jace is sequestered to come back in if the twins go bust.
• I believe he's wrong. Jace has been on the evicted interview circuit and those sequestered usually can't be interviewed -- they just disappear.
• By the way, many of the interviews corner Jace about bullying Steve. He regrets that he did it.
• That doesn't make it better in my mind.

The podcast grew restless

They all studied Lizia

Definitely not a space cadet

Yes, he can smile!
