Big Brother 17: Live Feeds into Friday - July 10

At least she's not hanging all over a guy

At least this week should be better than watching Shelli and Clay in their layabout modes in the HoH room. Here's what's happened into the wee hours inside that Big Brother House of Who's Gonna Be on the Block:

• I'm not the only person who has no clue who Gronk is -- most of the hamsters are clueless.
• Clay certainly knows. 
• They know it was Audrey voting for Da'Vonne to stay. After all, she's burnt most her bridges.
• Of course, they already knew before the vote that Jason would vote to keep her and all were okay with that.
• Me? I'm sick of this voting with the house stuff. Stupid sheeple! The house votes make this boring!
• Austin told Jeff that Audrey and Steve were the targets this week.
• What happened to his James plan?
• All the applause for Da'Vonne confused the hamsters.
• Huh. Maybe we liked her. Maybe she was actually an interesting player.
• Jason is sure he'll be on the block again while Meg says she would be willing to be a pawn again.
• Maybe she will be ... and maybe she'll go home this time.
• Who wants to see our HoH room?
• Bah. Who really cares? It's still the same bed that Chelli was all over all last week even though they didn't do the deed.
• Vanessa and Austin talked about splitting up the other alliance(s).
• As possible nominees, Vanessa tossed out the J names -- James, Jason or Jeff with Jeff being the target out of those.
• Hmm ... is it too good to be true? Is Steven really not a target this week? They kind of eliminate him as they talk.
• Unfortunately (for my likes), they both want to work with Chelli.
• They think it's better that Vanessa keeps the HoH this week so Austin can play next week.
• Believe it or not, Audrey is NOT the target this week. Vanessa even told her she's safe this week.
• They think by keeping her around, the target won't be on them.
• That kind of thinking could keep her in the game until the end.
• Silly hamsters.
• Vanessa and Austin scheme to cover identifying marks which distinguish the twins apart.
• @@
• It's not like the whole house doesn't already know!
• Liz told Austin and Vanessa that Julia (yes, they know them apart and talk now) hates Jeff.
• Austin claims he'll be Jeff's best buddy, then stab him in the back.
• Now, that wouldn't bother me.
• Meanwhile, Jeff is so sure that Steve will get the boot this week.
• Heh. Shelli had to change the dress she wore for the show last night because it was too low-cut.
• Leave it to Johnny Mac to notice the difference in the twins' teeth. He can tell them apart in a single smile.
• But he doesn't know Julia's name. He's not privy to the inside info from Austin/Vanessa.
• Jeff pushed his Steve Must Go Agenda on Austin.
• Little does he know, he's more likely to go than Steve is this week.
• Well, at this early stage of the week, anyway.
• Jason pronounces Audrey as Autry. Like Gene Autry. (Google that if you wish.)
• James told Jeff he would never vote for him to go. 
• I hope he had his fingers crossed as he said it.
• The latest plan is to backdoor Jeff with a James backdoor as Plan B.
• Austin, Vanessa and Liz want to form a side alliance with Steve, naming it Freaks and Geeks.
• Hopefully Steve is indeed safe this week.
• I wouldn't shed any tears if Jeff goes.

Austin has vowed that James must go

The twin is in the in crowd

Learning to be better pawns?

Keep the shirt ON, please

Wants a relaxation week

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

Clay - FairieGoddess0714, QuixoticElf, DonnaNY, JonMD1267

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

James - uncartie, Marlo, Jackie~juju, ML

Jason - Witt, Sharon, WolfpackRed

John - Sasha, lynn1, clover

Liz - Skyriverblue, jo Chapman, monty924

Meg - Sharon S, Merrilee, MikesGirl

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.
