BB 17 6-26

These early season "deals", and "alliances" rarely if ever amount to anything. The members join them to make themselves feel as if they are doing something strategically important, but in reality the alliances break up long before the end and amount to nothing insofar as who ultimately wins.

Big Brother 17 Live Feed Highlights – Friday, June 26, 2015:


9:40 AM BBT – Houseguests got their wake-up call and are finally stirring.

10:15 AM BBT – Clay and Audrey talking game in Lounge. Lots of interesting exchanges. Audrey pushes for Clay to showmance Shelli.

11:00 AM BBT – HGs wondering why James slept in the HN room when he’s the HoH. Later James says he was just lonely up there.

11:35 AM BBT – Austin and Liz are talking about how voting out Jackie would be a waste. They’re also suspicious of Audrey and Shelli.

12:10 PM BBT – Austin, Liz and Da’Vonne discuss how they think Audrey is playing all sides of the house and cannot be trusted.

12:32 PM BBT – Da’Vonne telling Jason about her talk with Austin and Liz. She tells him she would be OK with Audrey going this week and that there would be enough votes to make that happen.

12:36 PM BBT – Feeds cut. Veto time.

3:15 PM BBT – Feeds return. Steve won the POV.

3:20 PM BBT – Talk of backdooring Audrey is going around and she’s caught wind of it. She confronts Da’Vonne about it, which is the start of a literal day-long conversation about it. Summary: Audrey tells Da that she heard Austin and Liz want to backdoor her and that Da was in on it. Da assumes that information came from Steve. So Da is now upset with Steve. This seriously goes on ALL DAY.

3:36 PM BBT – Talk moves to the lounge. Several people come in and out of the room, talking about he said/she said. It goes on for awhile. Audrey and Da’Vonne sort things out, or so it seems. Austin and Audrey talk alone and solidify their deal to work together.

4:25 PM BBT – Da’Vonne and Jason meet in the HOH room to discuss all that went down. Da tells Jason she needs to fix things with Audrey because now they have no choice but to work with her. Both Jason and Da are a little nervous with James since he will have to name a replacement nominee soon.

4:33 PM BBT – James goes to the HOH room and tells the others there’s nothing that will chance his target this week. He says Jace is going up and going home.

5:00 PM BBT – After some alliance talk, they go get Jeff and decide that the alliance of Audrey, Da’Vonne, James, Jason, Meg, Jeff and Jackie will be called the High Rollers.

5:32 PM BBT – Austin has figured out that Da’Vonne is really a poker dealer.

5:42 PM BBT – Cam briefly shows Diary Room hallway for our first look.

7:25 PM BBT – Da’Vonne works on John. She’s worried she’s becoming a target and she and John talk about working together.

8:07 PM BBT – Da’Vonne trying to get Steve to admit he told Audrey she was coming after her. The conversation goes no where and Da leaves.

8:55 PM BBT – “Five Alive” alliance is created but it can’t be too serious. Includes Jace, Austin, James, Clay, and Audrey. Moments later James says Jace & Austin did that just to shore up support before the upcoming Veto meeting.

9:00 PM BBT – Audrey tells Clay to work on Da’Vonne. She doesn’t like that they are going against each other.

10:15 PM BBT – Da’Vonne and Audrey are back at it again. Da’Vonne is still concerned about all of Audrey’s alliances. They bicker for a bit.

11:39 PM BBT – Steve and Audrey are talking and as soon as Steve mentions Da’Vonne’s name, she hears and walks in. She asks Steve what he’s talking about and he tries to explain himself, but she’s pretty upset with him. Steve tries to talk to her to explain he wasn’t trash-talking her but Da’Vonne isn’t interested in hearing it.

11:57 AM BBT – Audrey and Steve finish up a conversation. Steve looks at the cameras and says “Audrey is good at this game” and predicts her to win the game.

12:05 AM BBT – The HGs have gotten a booze delivery and they divide it up and toast.

1:00 AM BBT – Shelli and Audrey catching up on the latest. Audrey telling her what she’s missed while Shelli says she’s nervously feeling out of the loop.

1:05 AM BBT – Audrey developing yet another alliance. She talks with Vanessa about working closely together because they trust each other. Audrey says she no longer trusts Da’Vonne.

2:00 AM BBT – Vanessa talks with Da’Vonne and admits the game overwhelmed her yesterday when she freaked out.

2:00 AM BBT – Clay tells Shelli they should still trust Audrey even though they’re aware she’s playing a lot of sides in the house right now.

2:15 AM BBT – Clay confers with Audrey about targeting Da’Vonne next. Audrey doesn’t want that blood on her hands, but she’ll support the move by someone else.

2:30 AM BBT – Audrey tells Shelli her trust circle includes Vanessa, Clay, and her. Shelli says she hasn’t trusted Da’Vonne from the start.

2:40 AM BBT – Steve, by himself, considers hiding something in someone’s bag to help Jace’s chances of staying.

3:05 AM BBT – Jeff and Meg talking with Clay and assure him they’re still together regardless of other deals.

3:40 AM BBT – Jace asks Steve if he has any other deals going on and hopes Steve is being honest with him about his support.

3:45 AM BBT – Clay and Jeff solidifying a F2 deal and thinking of duo names.

4:30 AM BBT – Most HGs asleep, but some still wandering around as the day closes out.

What a crazy day in the BB17 house as these HGs are in full game mode and acting like it’s Week 5, not Week 1. I’m not sure how long they can keep it up, but I like it!

We had several large alliances created and many more smaller core ones as well. “High Rollers” seems far more legit than “Five Alive” but at every turn we seem to find Audrey included so either she’s doing a great job of covering her bases or she’s about to drown in alliances when exposed.

'Big Brother 17' Spoilers: Who Won the First Power of Veto?
Friday, June 26, 2015

John Kubicek

It's only the first week of Big Brother 17 and already there are alliances, betrayals, strategy and a potentially huge backdoor eviction. There's a lot of intense gaming going on, which is always entertaining but dangerous.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains Big Brother 17 spoilers.




HoH James nominated Jackie and Steve while HoH Jason nominated Becky and John. Becky and John won the Battle of the Block, dethroning Jason. Oddly, Jason, Becky and John were all picked to play in the Power of Veto competition.

Steve won the Power of Veto!

Good for the nerdy Ian Terry 2.0. As with the last couple of seasons, the first PoV was a spelling competition and it sounds like Steve won with "Trombonist." James spelled "Lifeguards," John spelled "Booger," Jason spelled "Zones" and Jackie spelled "Judge."

Obviously he will save himself and James will have to nominate a replacement. And he seems deadest on backdooring Jase.

Big Brother 17 Spoilers: What Are the Week 1 Alliances?>>

Getting rid of Jace has been the plan from the beginning for James, with a majority alliance of Da'Vonne, Jason, Audrey, Meg and Clay behind him, as well as Shelli, Jeff and Jackie.

However, right before the PoV competition, Da'Vonne and Jason talked about how Audrey is playing the game too hard and discussed trying to get James to backdoor her instead of Jace. That would essentially involve Da'Vonne and Jason teaming up with Jace, Austin, Liz and Vanessa (and maybe John and Steve).

But when the feeds came back, Da'Vonne and Jason were in the HoH room with James and Meg confirming the plan to backdoor Jace. Audrey heard about Da'Vonne coming after her and confronted her about it, but they just dismissed it as Austin, Liz and Jace's attempts to find cracks in this group. Audrey then brought Da'Vonne to meet with Austin and Liz to sort it out. Audrey is getting way too paranoid and playing crazily. Basically, Da'Vonne is just covering her butt with Audrey and seems to be doing a good job of it.

When they were alone, Austin did throw Da'Vonne under the bus to Audrey a bit, talking about how they have a Final 2 deal. Jace joined the chat and they all talk about how Jace put a plan into effect to try and flush out if Audrey is a rat and discover if there's a leak (because it seems Jace and Audrey had a deal with James and Audrey to backdoor Jason this week, but that was just a lie to Jace and Austin). Austin and Jace blame Jeff and Clay.. There's so much mistrust, lying and calling people out on things they heard about.

There's a whole lot of paranoia in this majority alliance, especially with Audrey. There are obvious cracks forming between the nine people who are all in on the plan to backdoor Jace and it seems Steve and Becky will support them too. Vanessa and John will most likely go with the house, leaving Austin and Liz as Jace's only real allies.

This is the best summary I can come up with: Jace and Austin made a deal with James and Audrey to backdoor Jason. But James and Audrey were never really on board. Instead, they're working with Da'Vonne, Jason, Meg, Clay and others to backdoor Jace. Jace suspected that Jason found out about this fake plan and Jace wanted to know who leaked it to Jason. He made up stuff to see where the leak was, believing it was Jeff or Clay somehow. So it's a massive fustercluck of misinformation on top of misinformation with fake alliances.

It should be fun to see Jace blow up this week since he thinks he's king of the castle. And will Da'Vonne and Jason continue to try to secretly undermine Audrey?

We'll know more as the live feeds unfold over the weekend, with the Power of Veto ceremony probably coming Sunday or Monday.
