BB 17 Day 32 7-20

So it comes down to this; an all-house meeting yesterday and there is general agreement that Audrey must go this Thursday.. The POV ceremony hasn't happened yet today but it looks like Vanessa as the winner of the POV will pull Jason off the block, then Shelli will put up Audrey in his place, then she will be voted out. This is how "back-dooring" works and is used often to boot a previously unsuspecting HG. Although in this case Audrey knows she's under the gun and has been for some time because of her double-dealing and general paranoia. There is some speculation that production will step in, in some way, to save her because she is the first transgender person to be on BB, but mostly that theory isn't popular because it would be too obvious and ultimately pointless. All of this, or at least the most dramatic scenes, including today's POV ceremony, will be seen on the Wednesday CBS show.



'Big Brother 17' Spoilers: Vanessa and Clay Finally Explode
Sunday, July 19, 2015

There's been a volcano on Big Brother 17 that's been slowly building up steam and this weekend it finally erupted. We have tears, yelling and confrontations and the Power of Veto ceremony hasn't even happened yet.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains Big Brother 17 spoilers.


Shelli is the permanent HoH with John and Jason on the block. Vanessa won the Power of Veto. On Saturday night, Vanessa made it clear to the Sixth Sense that she wants to make a deal with Jason, save him and then have Shelli backdoor Audrey. Throughout the night, Shelli slowly came around to this idea.

On Sunday morning, everything exploded. Clay and Austin were outside working out when Audrey came out to talk about the game. She's extremely paranoid all of the time, especially since the other day she had a dream that she and Shelli got into a screaming match. Yes, Audrey thinks her dreams are important to the game, describing them as a "manifestation of her subconscious."

Clay and Audrey started getting into it about how she doesn't trust that he and Shelli have her back even though, time and time again, they've proven otherwise. Meanwhile, Shelli and Vanessa were upstairs in the HoH comparing notes on how Audrey has tried to turn them against each other by planting seeds of doubt.

Clay went upstairs to vent about his conversation with Audrey and Audrey followed. That's when the real explosion started with Audrey, Shelli, Clay and Vanessa all in the HoH room. Mostly Clay and Vanessa called Audrey out and, as usual, Audrey denied any wrongdoing ever.

As far as I'm concerned as a live feed viewer, the truth is somewhere in between. Vanessa was certainly putting all of the blame on Audrey, which may or may not be warranted, but Audrey has lied so many times and done so much work trying to plant seeds of doubt and betraying people that it's almost impossible to take her side at this point.

Clay got very angry, yelling quite a bit. Liz, Austin and Meg were downstairs in the kitchen and could hear him, commenting on how it's all blowing up and how Audrey is definitely going on the block and out the door this week. When Clay couldn't take any more, he left. Vanessa also got quite loud, yelling and crying a bit about how Audrey has betrayed them even though she stuck her neck out for her last week.

After Vanessa left too it was just Shelli and Audrey, and Shelli seemed to be genuinely done with trying to protect Audrey. She's tried so hard to believe in her and trust in her, but the Sunday fights have pretty much destroyed any hope of working together.

Now we just have to wait until Monday with the Power of Veto ceremony at which point Vanessa will probably save Jason and Shelli will backdoor Audrey, but with all of those coming out almost 24 hours before that ceremony, we'll have to see if there's anything Audrey can do to turn it around and save herself. But it definitely seems like a lost cause.

There's something going on in the house that is still unknown. The POV ceremony has been postponed way beyond its normal time. It all started earlier this afternoon when Audrey was called to the DR but she refused to go and was in a "funk" apparently over the earlier all-house meeting which she didn't attend.

She eventually got up and went to the DR, where it is assumed, she still is and has said that she wants to "self evict". This has never happened on BB (it has on Survivor several times) and production is presumably trying to figure out how to handle it, the most obvious way is to convince her to stay and may involve the staff psychiatrist. (they have one.) If she does self-evict that would be a breach of contract and she wouldn't get paid anything for her time in the house up to now. This is conjecture because it's never happened, but the breach of contract is real.

I'm getting tired of watching the live feeds so probably after I sign off all hell will break lose and I'll miss it.... but can catch up on the live feed updates later tonight or tomorrow. Thank goodness for those stalwart souls that watch 24/7.
