6:06pm BBT: Shelli and Liz are inside and run to the washroom looking for something. {I think Operation Shirt Recovery might be in the works}. Liz and Julia are talking about working out. Shelli uses the washroom and then does her hair. Liz (or Julia) wants to run. Liz (or Julia) finds a lemon in her shoe. Shelli tells her "that's on purpose". Liz said she and Austin checked in on Vanessa and she was sleeping. Mission Shirt Recovery Phase One is complete (I think that means one shirt recovered, two to go). Shelli remarks "it's not like he was trying to hide it" Shelli is now in the kitchen fixing fruit! 6:10pm BBT: Brief We'll B Right Back.

5:58pm BBT: All cameras are on the backyard hot tub and Austin working out. The discussion is about the largest city in Vegas and Liz is talking about the "Bunny Ranch" (Mustang Ranch maybe?). James thinks it's a strip club and is corrected that it's a "whorehouse". Steve wants to know if prostitution is legal in Nevada, and James says it's legal everywhere. They defer to Austin asking if there are any prostitution laws in Nevada. He claims not to know. Jackie is explaining how the girls are chosen, they line up in their little outfits, the girls all live there and they take the guys to their rooms, and they have different styles {nobody asks Jackie how she knows all this} 6:01pm BBT: Steve is telling a story about his brother getting married in Vegas but he was only 20 and the guys were going to sneak Steve in there. 6:02pm BBT: BB asks the houseguests to raise the awnings! The yell "no" but they get up to do it. James asks Austin if he is going to take them to some stripclubs and he wants to go where things get weird!! James says he hears Asian Country Guys are in high demand. BB thanks the houseguests and they yell "you are welcome" and clap. Meg says it was good teamwork. They hope something is tomorrow (a dinner I think). Steve calls out "thanks Boogie" for something!

5:50pm BBT: The hot tub crew are asking Jackie if you have to try out each year for The Heat and she said yes. Discussion is about "boot camp'" and Jackie says there were 11 rookies who made the team out of 24 and all the veterans were rehired. Jackie is telling them that all the rookies were dark haired. Liz asks if Jackie has ever auditioned for the Lakers or other places. (I think she said yes). Liz says it must be very cutthroat. James wants to know if you get paid well and Jackie says no, just $55 a game. Steve wants to know what she did to make money and she said she had another job that was nothing. Discussion turns to the fact that it's exposure and Jackie says she would do the whole thing for free, and she basically did do it for free. Jackie said pre-season they went to Europe, China and Mexico but The Heat does not fly them to homegames. Liz says it is so cool and wants to know if Jackie got a lot of exposure. Jackie replies it's on her resume but at the end of the day you never know, 5:55pm BBT: We'll be Right Back and the feeds are right back. Talk continues around the hot tub about Jackie's career and when Jackie is going back to Miami, dos she miss living there or does she love Vegas more.

5:30pm BBT: The twins and Shelli are still at the hot tub. Shelli is convinced the shirt thing is a plot and it's working. Shelli thinks James is throwing this in her face. She says Clay looks great in the shirt and James looks like crap in it. Shelli remarks that her toe is still swollen and Liz says her feet are red and discolored and she loves it. Jackie joins the hot tub girls so the shirt discussion ceases for a bit. Discussion turns to sleeping and have-not days, and when they got popcorn but it's the kind you have to pop yourself not the bagged ones {they are always complaining they are bored, would it hurt to pop some corn?} 5:33pm BBT: Shelli is in hysterics over some look on Liz's face (I did not catch the joke). Julia says she looks like she stepped on a bullfrog! Liz is relating Season 13 when Jordan farted under the covers with Jeff and Shelli can't believe they aired it. Liz says she didn't deny it. Liz is now relating when Jeff asked Jordan what animal she would be and Jordan replied "a squirrel because they live in neighborhoods" Shelli remembers seeing that. 5:36pm: Liz says she will never fart or poop in front of a guy but she will burp. Liz is relating something like diarrhea and she cleaned it because she was not going to sit on that, and it was on the back of the toilet. The debate blaming it on James or Steve and decide on James! 5:37pm BBT: All the girls at the hot tub holler "STEVE!!!!!!!" and ask where he's been all day and was he dancing. Steve joins them.. He says sometimes he even dances at night and Shelli asks "with no music". Steve excuses himself to go gargle with salt water (for his incoming wisdom teeth). Austin is working out. They are going to Austin's (workout) class. He says the first one is free. Jackie says we found all your loopholes. Liz says they will tip him well. Talk turns to why no one uses the elipitical. Liz says she would if there were music. The decide they would rather do the running as Becky does. 5:41pm BBT: Liz feels 100% that they will get alcohol and there are only a few drinkers left in the house and count 7. Someone says JohnnyMac loves his beers. Talk turns to if there will be wine in the jury house. Liz says she heard it's a little bit more but not a lot. Liz says they all brought cash to buy stuff but they only get it if they win HOH 5:42pm BBT: We'll Be Right Back 5:45pm BBT: The feeds were off briefly and now back. James and Steve have joined Jackie, Shelli and the twins at the hot tub. Discussion is general. James remarks the weather might be cold tomorrow and the girls tease him about being "the weather man". Steve remarks it has been cold. Discussion turns to school starting, finale and football. They wonder if they will get a party for Labour Day. James says he hears there will be a big party in the jury house (teasing). Shelli informs that Labour Day is August 31st and the 29th will be college football. Liz reminds everyone you can't wear white after Labour Day. The twins will have a birthday coming up in September. Austin is still working out and interjects into the hot tub conversation occasionally from across the yard.

5:14pm BBT: The twins and Shelli are sitting with their feet in the hot tub. Liz says to Shelli "if he did it to you and Clay..." Shelli relates that she knew about the group and the plan (or ploy) to get Johnny out. Liz says it's BS. Julia is saying that it just depends on which side wins. Julia says they (James, Jackie, & Meg) have been acting weird and hiding all day.l Shelli comments that they never separate. Julia tells Shelli she has nothing to worry about. Shelli tells them "for 2 weeks they have stabbed at us". It makes her mad that they are trying to get everyone on their agenda and play the way they want {I thought that was what BB was all about} Shelli asks Liz "they freaked out when you said you were voting for me?" (over Clay) and Liz says yes. Shelli is relating how they all pulled her into rooms and she never asked me to not vote for Clay and they should vote for who they want, and if someone voted for Clay it was not a vote against her. Shelli said now they are all telling her they voted to keep her. 5:20pm BBT: Shelli is talking about regretting doing something (maybe she said to James) and she felt so awful and it was all for nothing, what good did it do. She relates that Meg woke her and Clay up at 4am and told them James was freaking out so they went up to the HOH and were not prepared as to what to say and James told her "you are going home if you don't tell me (something)". Shelli said she had no time to think it out and that is not how she plays the game. Liz says she questioned someone the other day about wearing Clay's blue shirt and she knows Clay did not give it to him. James said he cleaned it but Liz said Clay never gave it to James. Shelli fills in the rest of the story, that James and Clay were still friends at that point. Shelli said the day after eviction she was rethinking her game and then Have Not Room opened up and her blood started boiling because James was wearing Clay's shirt. Shelli says James wore the shirt for 2 days and now James is wearing a dark grey sweater that belonged to Clay. Shelli is getting really upset and says they need to get it back. She is convinced James is wearing Clay's clothes on purpose and her head is about to explode. Shelli now things James has 3 of Clay's shirts. She says they are stealing them back and when she puts James up on the block she is going to wear that shirt {what grade are these people in?} 5:26pm BBT: The shirt discussion continues to heat up at the hot tub. Shelli is getting really upset. Liz wants to know what the plan of attack is to get Clay's shirts back. Shelli says they are not even Clay's shirts because now they have "James Juice" on them. Austin is walking by, repeats the phrase. Shelli is convinced that James is back there laughing about it right now {I doubt he has even thought about it} 5:28pm BBT: BB: Houseguests are reminded not to talk about Diary Room sessions with other houseguests! Shirt-Gate looks like it's going to continue for a while!

4:50pm BBT: Austin, Liz , Shelli and Julia are on the backyard couch discussing the upcoming eviction. Julia (I think) is asking if everyone is sure it's a double. Austin says it might be a triple and they tell him to shut up. One of the twins asked Austin if he is going to do a tumble when he's evicted and he says he will not because Jase already did that. They discuss how the evicted HG's were turned into cartoon characters. Julia tells them that Da'Vonne did not like being called "Mama Day" and the others disagree. They discuss the applause each evicted got. They are glad Jason got a lot of applause. Shelli remarks that the house is boring with Jason gone! They like Jason but game wise he knew everything. Liz thinks Jason knew way more about BB than Steve. Liz is asking Shelli what she and Steve were discussing last night. Shelli relates a math riddle Steve told about a train (sorry they lost me). Austin wants Steve to talk about something other than science. They discuss a few other conversations with Steve about science. Liz says "an hour and 30 minutes" (not sure to what). She comments the days are getting boring. Julia says she hopes Vanessa will not be like Audrey and just stay in her room because that will make her sad. Shelli thinks Vanessa will come around. Austin says it does not matter anymore because what's done is done and Becky cannot vote. 4:58pm BBT: BB: Vanessa is called to the Diary Room. Shell and Liz said it's time for Vanessa's meds and Shelli remarks she always knows what time it is when Vanessa is called in. Liz asks "does she have to take it right at 5?" Talk turns to Clay and how bad he was about putting his mic on and how he just didn't care. Liz is sure Clay is back by now (home) and maybe he is sequestered and America voted him back in. 5pm BBT: Shelli is talking about the banner that said "I love you" across the sky. Austin begins to discuss how things might relate to questions (for a comp). They wonder if BB played all the negative comments made and how you never know how America might preceive things. Austin is talking about James I think and the negative things he has said about women. They are discussing a comp where they could hear the laughing and Julie was playing the music. The comp was Pop Till You Drop. Julia is talking about all the veto's had to do with smarts. Shelli disagrees and says the dice one wasn't.\ Austin replays the Dice Comp and said you had to think because it was like a Rubick's Cube. He says he could move the dice cube; Shelli said it was hard because she is too little. Austin said the last comp was fun. Liz said it was not fun for them because they could not watch it. Shelli is saying it would be good to know what the comp was and get all new comics and a 2nd chance. She said Steve knew exactly what the comp was all about. Austin says he was looking right to left and Shelli did too but then she was at the end of the rope. Shelli tells us BB wanted them to talk but she was so intent on the comp she did not. Austin is relating trying to look at hands, diamonds and Shelli remarks that they were staring straight at (I guess it was a puzzle) and could not see if but if you were looking at it now you would get it immediately. Austin is saying time is so weird in the comp. Liz (or Julia) wanted to know how long it took to climb back up and Shelli says a minute, but it's wasted if you don't get anything. She said at first it was easy. Shelli was looking at the twins pictures and at one point thought one of them was actually Jackie. Austin remarks the writing was throwing you off because it was all picture stuff. 5:10pm BBT: One of the twins says the comp looked like a fun one and she wants to play in the next one but not be on the block. Austin leaves for a pre-workout. One of the twins remarks something is foul. Everyone leaves and Shelli is on the couch alone!

4:30pm BBT: Austin, the twins and Shelli are on the backyard couch discussing past BB players, if Audrey was America's Player or not. Austin does not think so; thinks it was "too simple" They are discussing past jury who came back on what seasons, and why they got evicted once they came back, and which seasons were favorites. 4:35pm BBT: James, Jackie and Meg are finally up and eating. They are whispering and rustling food packages. (mostly whispering and food packages rustling). Meg repeats several times "we are set" James is saying they need Steve to come through. James is discussing that himself and Shelli getting thrown up" on the block and if they have the votes for the double eviction. James is saying the only thing they could do to surprise them (James, Jackie, Meg) is to put two of them up together. Meg does not think they will do that, but will put up Steve. James and Meg are having a difference of opinion about who can and can't vote in the double eviction. Meg says only the current HOH cannot vote. Meg tells Jackie she is going to make "some more of this" (whatever they are eating). James says "what is dad bought me...he bought me that last year" Meg is washing dishes and saying her body is feeling better James remarks that the toilet seat is foul and it has to be foul if he is saying it. Meg and James discuss how hard it is to scrap slop off the pan and James does not want to ruin the non-stick pan. 4:42pm BBT: Meg comments that she would hate not getting good-bye messages at the double eviction. James agrees that would suck and said he would wait for them. Meg comments that is one of her favorite things. James says "yeah, so they can tell you how much they hate you". Meg & James discuss good bye messages and if BB throws them away. Meg would like to see all of them, then says she would be fine with no good bye messages (because it means you won the game). James wants the whole experience of going up there with the crowd and Julie. Jackie is whispering to Meg "if you are HOH you can go after your target". Meg is saying something hard to hear over James washing dishes. Meg tells Jackie they need to stick together. Meg is saying they need to "make a deal with them" (I think she means Austin and the twins) BB: James to the Diary Room Meg continues to whisper that no matter which of them gets HOH they have to get the other person's target out. 4:46pm BBT: James goes to the Diary Room. Jackie is still cooking and whispering with Meg. They say something about JohnnyMac and then that the numbers are in their favor 5-3. Jackie whispers something about being scared and running out the door and Meg erupts in laughter. Jackie says to someone "we know nothing". Meg says she would die if that were shown on an episode! Meg says it's 5 o'clock already and they have only two more nights (as Have Nots). Jackie remarks they have a dinner tomorrow night and Meg says she hopes they can just get really full. (sorry I didn't get everything, I am new at this)

Shelli seems to be doing just fine without Clay. Given her "history of relationships" this will probably be just another failed one in the showmance department (and she should consider herself lucky because Clay is one step up from Willie Hantz, just a little more height).

I wanted him to stay only because I wanted Shelli gone but after he showed what an ugly, spoiled, self-entitled brat he was I am glad he's gone. Clay had no idea what this BB game was about. Apparently he thought it was the Big Brother/Big Sister program and he was going to be some big hero mentoring a kid for the summer and tossing around a football and everyone was going to be so impressed with him. I am SO sick of recruits like him just for their muscles and semi-pretty mug.

She floated and made it work until the numbers dwindled and she had to pick a side. I like that she is making a big move and it was priceless when she told Vanessa she was not making any more deals or alliances. Vanessa was actually speechless for 2.4 seconds (best moment of the season since Clay left).

She needs to go home and get under a doctor's care in my opinion. Something is really wrong with her! We are in for 3 days of Vanessa pulling an Audrey and hiding or going off on everyone (drama's sake, hoping for the latter)

The best "Steve moments" in the house are when he is talking to himself. This morning he and Olhaussen had a great conversation where he basically confessed to the cue ball that he busted Vanessa's game. I have been waiting to see what was under the super-fan's spidey glasses!

James, Becky and (occasionally) Shelli came to play this game. I don't think the rest of them have a clue!

She's good but not as good as she thinks she is! Vanessa sat there and told a whole bunch of them (I can't remember who all was there) that keeping Shelli would be smart because it keeps a bigger target in the house and not one of them called her on it that Shelli is the bigger threat. It just proves that these people don't know the game. Shelli is the bigger threat to all their games. It would have been hilarious if James and initially put up Shelli and Vanessa. Hopefully Vanessa is on the block next week.

I think the BB experience is exactly what Steve needed. It's doubtful he will come close to winning the game unless Vanessa can actually drag him to F2 but it is not to see him being more social and lightening up his tidey-whities!

I hope she gets caught playing both sides. She's almost as annoying as Andy!

Clay is a total moron but he's also shown that he has a temper and an ugly side. Personally, I think he wants to stay and is hoping he does but he needs it to look to Shelli like he did everything he could and they voted her out anyway. I hope he does stay because he will go off on James. Maybe he'll even take a swing at James without Shelli there to stop him and BB will remove him (in a perfect world) and he and Shelli can go off into the sunset together.

Shelli is just a pure and simple bitch. She wants her way and anyone who doesn't let her have her way is going to feel her wrath. Clay should consider himself lucky to be getting away from her whether he leaves the game or stays. If Shelli wants to use a room to talk she says "we'll kick (him/them) out". What kind of person does that? I don't ever recall (and correct me if I am wrong) anyone blowing up like that at a nomination ceremony and I don't recall too many HG's who felt so entitled that they should win the game or that it was so unfair to them (especially when they have just done that to others). I hope Shelli leaves because I am sick and tired of her self-entitlement. If she stays lets see what game she really has!

Meg is funny! When she was all over Clay it was hilarious. He didn't act like he was resisting too much (and it's not the first time they have hugged, drunk or sober). I think Meg is finally waking up to the fact that there is a game to be played and she better go out and win something!

Recruiting, because it's easier than actually going through applications and audition tapes would be my best guess. Clay thought it was the Big Brother/Big Sister Program Austin is just there to work out and further his wrestling career The twins were most likely recruited (or selected) simply because they are twins and it doesn't appear that they really have an agenda Jackie & Jeff were put in to call attention to Amazing Race and hopefully bring in hew viewers Steve's the super fan who knows he's not going to win but he's getting the "BB experience" Meg, no idea where her head is at. She can go home and hang out with Frankie and her friend from Survivor and tell about their experiences while doing shots Becky, another HG I am clueless about. Sometimes I am not sure what show she thinks she's on. Vanessa came to win but I think more for the title than the money James came to win for the reasons of financially talking care of his kids Shelli came to win because Shelli does not like to lose (and she can shove it in the ex's face who mocked her for wanting to be on the show)

1.Predict something one particular hg's will do on the eviction show.... -Vanessa will ring her hands, run to the person not evicted, talk a mile a minute about how sorry she is (the usual Vanessa blah-blah) -Austin will cast his vote as "Judas" -If Clay is evicted Shelli will smirk behind tears; if Shelli is evicted, Clay will get right in James' face and yell at him -Steve will stand there looking clueless 2. Who would you rather stay Shelli or Clay? Clay definitely. I want to see the smirk wiped off Shelli's face and Clay will go ballistic on the house. 3.Who do you want to win the next hoh Team Six Sense or Team Underdogs/Summer camp(Meg, Jackie)or someone else..... ? Jackie or Meg

He's got my vote for at least making a big move. One way or the other once of the "power couple" will be leaving Thursday (unless the producer throws in one of her famous safety twists).

BB needs to stop casting these idiots who are willing to fall on their sword. If Clay is that willing to give it all up for Shelli than I want to see him grow a pair and DOR, giving up his stipend and all the perks of Big Brother (and deal with your momma's wrath when you get home for being an idiot) for his Damsel in BB Distress!

She is a bigger rat than Andy and the HG's just keep tossing the cheese!

Lots of people on different sites have made reference to Shelli's original Big Brother bio so I went back and read it. It's carefully worded as to Shelli's background (one of 5 kids, always fighting for position and affection), jumping in and out of relationships. No right to judge other than what I initially said about her on a personal level, as a mom of a son Clay's age I would be worried, and on that as well as a game level the fact that Shelli asked him to use the POV on her if he won it, I think she's a snake and a gold-digger who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. I hope she leaves Thursday and I hope she gets the same blindside those who went before her got just so she can have a taste of her own medicine in the game!
