BB 17 Day 33 7-22

It's still not clear how production will handle Audrey's eviction tomorrow. If she refuses to come out and do the eviction interview with Julie Chen, what then ?  Or even if earlier she refuses to sit on the couch and get the eviction vote. Since those two things are 'live' it would be awkward for production and CBS to have that situation on a prime time show.

Especially since the mass audience who only watch the 3 weekly CBS shows would have no idea what has transpired with Audrey this week. This is an unprecedented situation and may make TV history. Some fans think that the whole show will be pre-recorded and edited to avoid all this. There is some precedent for that in past seasons but that involved an HG being booted by production for rules violations and not an HG like Audrey who simply had an emotional/mental meltdown.

We’re now on Day 3 of Audrey Watch as the Big Brother 17 Houseguest continues to pull back from the game and rest of house keeping herself in seclusion ahead of Thursday’s eviction.

At this point the Big Brother house has moved on past Audrey Middleton and while the Houseguests have been checking on her well being periodically most of them are now over the situation.

Background info: If you’re just getting caught up on what’s going on. Here are the details you’ll need. On Sunday, Audrey began arguing with Clay, Shelli, and Vanessa. It soon became apparent that they were going to Backdoor her. She worked on a House Flip with James, but when that failed she went in to seclusion and spent roughly eight hours in the DR from Sunday to Monday. This even delayed the PoV meeting by about five hours. Okay, now for the latest.

Yesterday morning we saw James bring Audrey room service with an omelette and OJ, his good deed of the day, he said. This came shortly after Audrey had briefly left her station, Flashback to 10:08AM BBT, in the Have-Not room to get a fresh battery and spend a few minutes in the DR. Along the way Liz tried saying hello, but says she was ignored.

Things were quiet on the Audrey front for most of the rest of the day until the HoH camera arrived and Have-Nots decided it was time to turn the lights on and get some group pictures. Audrey wasn’t budging from under her blanket tent so they went on without her. Shelli even tried talking to her to get her out but she was ignored as well.

The Houseguests seem to have accepted that she won’t be active in the game anymore and is simply filling a seat, well when she shows up, until the round is over on Thursday. But just like us, they don’t have much information on the situation and are trying to guess at what’s happening.

Steve and Liz, Flashback to 2:05PM BBT, wonder if Audrey will be forced to move during lockdowns or Thursday’s house cleaning when they have to go up to the HoH room. Steve mentions that Audrey was not penalized for eating regular food and was given permission by Big Brother. Later Becky mentions Audrey had a 24-36 hour window of being allowed to eat regular food.

Meanwhile the 'twin twist' is occupying their strategic thinking. I hope that both Liz and Julia get to come in and play, probably as a 'team', but that doesn't mean that it will have much strategic value in the long run.



Big Brother 17 Twin Twist: Houseguests Debate Who To Target

Posted: 22 Jul 2015 11:00 AM PDT

Last night on the Big Brother Live Feeds we finally saw a renewed interest in the Twin Twist with Liz Nolan and her sister Julia. Everyone in the house is aware of the suspicions, most have strong proof, but only a few have received first hand confirmation.

Suspicious houseguests believe the twins will both be in the game in the next few weeks so the clock is ticking, but surprisingly their approach to undercutting the twins’ strength might not be how most of us would go about it.

We watched as Meg, Jason, Clay, Shelli, Becky, James, and Jackie sat around discussing what needed to be done to eliminate this pending Twins Twist threat and the best way to go about making sure it didn’t get ahead of them. Flashback to 8:10PM BBT 7/21 Cams 1/2.

While everyone is worried about the sisters working together they seem more concerned about them working with Austin as a trio. Yes, it’s obvious to them how Austin is romantically involved with the friendlier one and they see and hear when he’s updating them on recent events. So what do they want to do? Get rid of Austin.

Becky details out her concerns on how letting the twins enter could disrupt their chances at a returning player this season. Yes, 17 HGs could eliminate a returning Juror if Big Brother uses the Reset twist again, but if there’s no reset then we could get the twins and still see a player return.

Clay and Shelli know full well the twins are real and how they’re working together in the Sixth Sense alliance, but we’ve also heard Shelli express concerns about Austin. Once again Chelli plays the middle of the house ready to pivot to which ever side has control.

Should the underdogs wrestle control away from Sixth Sense then I wouldn’t be surprised to see them target Liz and Steve as they discussed last night, but then go after Austin as a Backdoor. If Sixth Sense wins the power for a fourth straight week then we know the twins are a lock for entering and playing Big Brother 17 together. We could get open confirmation from Liz and Julia as soon as Thursday night depending on how the HoH comps go.

What would you do if you were a Houseguest? Would you try to split up the twins or let them enter and go for the bigger player in Austin? Share your thoughts below.

Here's one fans depiction of Julies' exit interview....
