Big Brother 17: Live Feeds Monday into the Evening - September 7

Bein' a goof

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Move Along, Nothing to See Here:

• See the renom was already known before the PoV ceremony, the twin tears subsided for most of the day, just a few intermittent bouts. That is, after an extended bout of crying as they (the twins themselves) decided who should go home. Like it's their decision, y'know.
• Austin, who fancies himself as an aspiring comedian, actually made me smile at one point today.
• Yep, you heard me.
• He was cooking and told the the twins there were ants all over the spoon-uhhh.
• Of course, that humor would only fly in the BB17 environment.
• Today was a whole lotta nuthin' going on -- excercise, pool playing, lounging about, talking about how hot it is ... and such.
• I wonder why they didn't get a grill this year. No tie-dyed shirts, no dollar store toys. Hmm. 
• Steve told us he trusts Johnny Mac more than he trusts Vanessa. 
• Well, that's smart.
• The BB voice actually told Austin (over the PA system) that he didn't wash his hands after using the bathroom.
• Heh.
• Of course, I saw one of the twins biting her nails as she prepared food.
• BB gave them alcohol. They either hope to pep them up or poop them out, I guess.
• Get braced for this one ... Johnny Mac is planning on returning to school to get his orthodontist certification.
• Braced, orthodontist ... get it?
• Okay, I'm bored.
• Vanessa told Steve she would put up Austin and Julia if she wins HoH.
• That tells me two things -- they will keep Julia this week and Vanessa has no plans to win HoH.
• That's it for now.

You can't hide

Lovin' a teddy

We're on the block-uhh

Claws. I tell ya. She's got claws.

Big Brother 17: Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV Meeting - September 7

As expected, Austin saved himself and Steve put up Julia as the renom. So, it's both twins on the block. If Vanessa and Johnny Mac are smart, they'll send Liz (the more athletic of the two) packing. We'll see.

Big Brother 17: Live Feeds into Monday - September 7

Needs to win HoH this week

Happy Labor Day, folks! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Workin' It:

• No brouhahas, no kerfuffles.
• Vanessa went to bed early.
• Liz and Austin secluded themselves for a long time leaving Julia to mingle with Steve and Johnny Mac.
• Julia was surprised when Johnny Mac told her that he was losing money by being in the house.
• She was thinking the stipend. For years it was $750 a week. I know in the past year or two it has been reported to have gone up to $1,000 a week. That would be gross, not net. That shouldn't be non-attainable for most college grads if they can get a job in the field in which they're qualified by degree. I guess if they're unemployed or underemployed, it's a lot. It's certainly not a fortune for a young dentist with huge college loans.
• Aw, Julia misses James.
• Maybe she'll see him in the jury house soon!
• Liz and Julia each smoked a cigarette. Liz kept saying how dizzy she was afterwards.
• Huh.
• What was in that cigarette?
• The twins think they get to decide which one goes to jury on Thursday.
• Liz is thinking that Julia might be the better chance to stay.
• Of course, they're assuming that the others will abide by their choice.
• Austin told Liz that she should be the one to stay.
• I guess we'll see what comes around when it comes around.
• Maybe Steve will name Vanessa the renom.
• BWAHAHAHAHA!
• Like that would happen!
• Vanessa told Austin that she thinks Steve would win if in the final two.
• They all turned in relatively early for them.
• Steve told us that he's skeptical of Vanessa, but the Austwins really need to be broken up.
• It's a numbers thing, y'see.

Thinking of Liz and Austin?

Big Brother 17: Live Feeds Sunday into the Evening - September 6

Big wheels keep on turnin'

Sunday isn't necessarily Funday in the BB House. It's more like Nap More Than Usual Day. Nonetheless, here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Exercising Egos:

• The hate for Austin didn't last long. Liz is back with him.
• Ew.
• They deserve each other.
• Liz is whacked. She complimented the chicken he made for her despite the fact it had ants in it and likes that (he hasn't been out of bed) his fingers smell like garlic.
• Why would his fingers smell like garlic while in bed nowhere near the kitchen in either time or space?
• EW.
• Lots of exercising in the backyard today.
• Lots of napping.
• Lots of ants in the kitchen.
• And, they're out of Raid-uhhhh!
• Lots of small talk.
• Lots of yawns.
• Little game talk going on today. Johnny Mac said he'd vote whichever way the twins want.
• Keep in mind that, technically, Austin is still on the block with Liz.
• But everyone knows that Julia will go up in his place.
• And, it looks like Julia will probably go home although it would be smarter to take out Liz at the point.
• We'll see.

Ew, back together again

Ants-uuh! It's an infestation-uhhh!

A hamster is indeed a rodent

Big Brother 17: Second HoH Comp (not live), Nominations Show Blog Party - Sept. 6

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? While many of us already know the results of the PoV comp, tonight's episode will focus on the second HoH comp and nominations not shown (not done at the time) on Thursday. It's kind of like experiencing jet lag!

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

Recap, recap. Vanessa is relieved that her only person who she wasn't working with (James) went out in the double eviction. Steve feels the same. Johnny Mac says it's time for a bloodbath. Austin doesn't want to win the upcoming HoH and get "blood on his hands." Vanessa would prefer Steve or Johnny Mac win to get one of the twins out. She promises Austin she "can make it happen." Then she runs to JM to tell him. Then to Steve.

Time to HoH comp! It's a baseball themed game. Liz thinks if Austin, Vanessa or Steve win, she and Julia are safe. (Ha.) Shown trading cards at a rapid speed, make puzzles of the missing player. In each round, last one to solve is eliminated. 

Austin tells us he's not throwing the comp -- too risky. Johnny Mac knows he's in trouble if Austwins win. 

1st round - Steve, Julia, John, Austin ... Vanessa out.
2nd round - John, Julia, Steve ... Austin out.
3rd round - Steve, John ... Julia out.
4th round - STEVE WINS HOH! (And Julia/Liz think they're safe. Ha.) Johnny Mac tells us he's letting Steve have it because next time will be physical, not Steve's specialty. Vanessa is happy. 

While the twins are happy, Austin tells us he knows Steve is a numbers guy and will probably realize the Austwins need to be split up. 

Vanessa hints to the twins that Steve is close with John and might put them up. Austin talks to Steve who tells him that he knows he's at the bottom of the Scamper Squad. Austin is willing to give up Julia and promises he and Liz won't target Steve. Steve doesn't trust him, but acts like he does.

Austin tells Liz that Steve may put them (twins) up. Liz wants Julia to talk to Steve. Julia is closer to Steve and never has liked Austin much anyway. 

Who wants to see my HoH room? Yawn. He got a teddy bear. The twins suck up and Johnny Mac mocks them to us from the Diary Room. 

Vanessa tells Steve that putting the twins up together isn't a good idea if the veto is won. The weakest (Julia) must remain off the block. She tells him that Austin and Liz should be the nominees. Yes, ma'am. Whatever you say. (Although that is solid thinking as long as Vanessa isn't his target.) 

Johnny Mac thinks it's best they target Austin. Steve thinks he should warn Austin. Silly naive Steve. He tells Austin he doesn't think he can put the twins up together. He pussyfoots around telling Austin the target and tells him that he doesn't know. 

Nominations today. Steve is visibly down. He nominates Austin, then Liz. Making a move best for his game, sorry. Liz runs off crying.
