BB17 Day 44 7-31

That was a brutal endurance comp. last night. It ran for almost an hour after the CBS show was over until James won. I was able to watch the completion on the live feeds. The CBS viewers won't know the results until Sunday's show. So with James winning that throws a whole new picture into the power positions. Clay and Shelli have been dominate in effecting who is evicted but now James aims to limit them by nominating both for eviction ! Wow, that's a real power play. In spite of what John thinks in this article, James pretty well confirmed their nomination this afternoon while talking to Austin. He didn't name names but it was obvious who he was talking about. Now all he has to do is get 5 HGs on board. That seems feasible, but anything can happen in BB.



'Big Brother 17' Spoilers: The House Flips and New Targets Emerge

I've been complaining about how boring Big Brother 17 has been, especially since we've had four weeks of Shelli and Vanessa running the game as HoH and keeping the Sixth Sense safe. But with the Battle of the Block coming to an end, the game looks to be dramatically changed for the better and it has a lot of people scrambling.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains Big Brother 17 spoilers.



James won the endurance HoH competition.

Needless to say, this is a worst-case scenario for the Sixth Sense since he was one of the three remaining HGs who were totally blindsided by Jason's nomination and eviction. From there, everyone started to scramble, new rats emerged and plans took shape and crumbled.

In the HoH room, James, Jackie, Meg and Becky talked about wanting to backdoor Shelli this week because they primarily blame her for Jason's eviction and everything else that's happened in this house that hurt their games (Da'Vonne and Jeff's evictions). Sure, James made a deal during the HoH competition not to nominate Clay or Shelli, but he seems fine breaking that since deals were broken last week.

However, Becky proved herself to be quite the rat, immediately running downstairs and telling Clay about the plot to take out Clelli. When Clay told Shelli, she freaked the hell out and was ready to blow up everything. She didn't, but an interesting dynamic emerged. Vanessa is putting all of the blame for Jason's nomination on Clelli while Clay and Shelli blame Vanessa. That tight trio is turning on each other.

Meanwhile, Austin and the twins are being given a free pass. James, Jackie and Meg would much rather work with them than Clayu, Shelli and Vanessa at this point. Even though Austin, Liz and Julia are still terrified they're going up, James did promise them safety. In a side note, it seems Julia still doesn't completely forgive Austin for what he did with Jason last week. She really seems to hate Austin.

At first Vanessa's strategy was to try and get James to target floaters (like Steve and Johnny Mac), but he wants to make a big move. Shelli and Clay decided to throw the other half of the Sixth Sense (Austin and the twins) under the bus to James too.

There's a lot going on now that James, Jackie and Meg have power. They no longer care and are ready to go to war after last week. Then there's Shelli and Clay, freaking out over the possibility of being targets and Vanessa struggling to save herself by making vague, generic deals. Austin and the twins are somehow a non-issue while Steve and Johnny Mac seem to be coasting their way to jury.

Whatever happens (and it looks like Liz and Vanessa might get nominated with an eye towards backdooring Shelli), there's a good chance the Sixth Sense will be losing a member this week and once the final nominations are set, the campaigning could get ugly.
