Well it looks like Jeff is going home this week because he can't muster enough votes to stay in the house. I think that Jackie & John are the only HGs that are voting to evict James. Audrey will probably throw in a vote to cause some trouble and try to blame another HG (yawn). I hope that Meg wins one of the HOH's so she could nominate Shelli & Audrey. I want either James, Jason, or Becky to win the other HOH and nominate Clay & Austin. No pawns this next week because I wanna see a legit Battle of the Block with the nominated HGs actually competing with each other to stay in the game. I don't really care which team wins the BOB. If the veto is used on one of the nominees, I'd like to see either Liz or Vanessa as the replacement nominee. I really wanna see the strength of all of the numerous alliances tested. I wanna see some real BB game drama.

Just to keep it interesting, I'd like to see Audrey win the HOH, with either John, or Steve. Shellie & Vanessa will go into overdrive attempting to manipulate and/or influence Audrey's nominations. I can see some drama between these women over who saved Audrey, and who she owes her loyalty to. I can also see some drama with Clay & Austin over control of Steve or John's HOH nominations.

I long for the epic competitions (HOH or Veto) that go on for hours and hours. The endurance comps really test the HGs mental strength & toughness. I don't recall the specific season, but I do remember a comp with the HGs in side a large glass box that went on for several hours. I would also like to see the HGs come up with some different tactics and or strategies to play the game. Copying a previous BB winner's strategy does not always workout because the dynamics of each season is different. IMO what makes Big Brother entertaining are the diverse and unique personalities of the HG's. Some of my favorite HG are players who did not win the game. Janelle, Kaysar, Danielle R., Howie, Renny, Jessie, and Jerry, and last Ronnie the rat. Dr. Will, Dan G, Evil Dick, and Derrick each won the game using their own unique strategy, and for the most part it was entertaining to watch them play.

ITA 100%. He told Jace to his face that it's not personal, it's the game. But Jace didn't get it and took it personally. In the game of Big Brother most times it's the HGs that you are not aligned with who nominate and/or target you. When it gets down to the wire, you then must turn on your own alliance in order to stay in the game. As the saying goes..."Don't hate the player - hate the game". I don't think that Jace fully understood the game of BB.

I can't remember if it was Liz or Julia, but one of the twins made a dig about Jakie being a stripper.

The "showmance" with Shelli is boring and I probably would have liked him more if he had paired up with Meg or Becky. Shelli refers to her relationship with Clay as a "flirtmance" whatever that means. I think they are both just using each other to advance their game. Shelli is using clay as a protector and Clay is using Shelli for her brains in the game. I just don't see any real feelings between them.

I hope they get to play together. and I'm looking forward to the drama that's coming. I don't really think that Vanessa & Shelli have thought about the twins impact on the game if they succeed and make it past week 5. Will the twins stay loyal to them because they saved them? Or will they break away and align with other HGs? I see a big fight between Shelli & Vanessa over the twins. Right now Shelli & Vanessa are only looking at another vote in their alliance. I see the twins being unshakeable in their total trust in each other. They could be viewed as a powerful duo. Liz & Julia trust each other 100%, but the same cannot be said about any of the other HGs.

I know what you mean about Austin and I have kinda mixed emotions about him too. In one of his pre-show interviews he said no showmance for him because he has a GF at home. However, his behavior with Liz clearly shows he has some feelings invested in that relationship. Or, maybe he's still hurt by Jace's eviction in week 1, and doesn't know where he fits into this group. Austin & Jace hit it off instantly and maybe he thought they were gonna have fun & party like frat boys for the summer. Now his "bromance" is over and he seems kinds lost. Austin needs to get it together or he's not even gonna make it to the jury.

I believe that Jeff is more of a threat to Austin's game than Vanessa's game. And since Vanessa teamed up with Austin early on in the game, I understand why Jeff is the target. Vanessa is using Austin as her meat shield". Jeff was the one who was dropping little digs among the HGs about not trusting Austin.I kinda feel sorry for Jeff, but he did it to himself trying to play all factions in the house. I think that Vanessa needs to get off her high horse about lying because the game she's playing is Big Brother, and everybody lies to stay in the game.

Congrats to Meg!!!! She won a cruise. I'm glad things are getting better for her. Yea!! I hope that the self proclaimed "good people" don't get jealous and use the cruise as an excuse to vote her out.

I agree that it is smart gameplay to leave a bigger target in the house this early in the game, especially since Audrey is in need of allies. I just think there could be some negative blowback. Time will tell.

Last night I thought that maybe John & Becky were gonna team up as a strong pair alliance, but it didn't happen (sigh).

Becky seems to be waiting for another HG to approach her with an alliance instead of actively seeking one herself. She was complaining that nobody will talk "game" with her. Becky needs to wake up and realize that if nobody will talk game with you - their plotting against you. This is BB after all. Becky is working real hard in keeping the BB house clean, but she's gonna have to do more than being a maid. She has the eyes of Hillary Swank and the smile of Julia Roberts - very pretty.

(In the BB updates) Vanessa said that as a gay woman she would be embarrassed to nominate a transgender without evidence. Apparently she has either forgotten or forgiven Audrey for throwing her under the bus re: the girls alliance that Audrey claimed Vanessa started back in week one.

So far, John has managed to save himself, but I also fear that he has set himself to be an 'easy pawn'. If he does it again I think he's gonna be toast because I don't believe that the other HGs would want to align with him knowing his record of throwing BOB comps.

I like how Vanessa is handling her HOH as a 'boss lady'. So far, she's playing it real strong and I like it. I just hope that her unconditional support for Audrey doesn't jeopardize her game.

If Vanessa sticks with the plan to name Jeff as the replacement nominee Jeff is in a tough situation. And it's largely due to him running his mouth and trying to play all the factions in the house. It was bound to catch up with him because in the BB house everybody talks to each other about each other, I seriously doubt that Jeff is really that tight with James because last week he was BBFs with Clay & Shelli. Now that Vanessa, the current HOH has blown up on Jeff, I don't know if nybody left in the house who would vote out James in order to keep Jeff in the game.

Marty: Oops! I forgot about that since it hasn't aired yet, Sorry.

He did kinda freak out and get extremely possessive about Liz for what he perceived as her "sleeping with the enemy". But now that Julia is in the house now he seems OK. I just hope he doesn't lose his cool and have an ugly confrontation with Liz when the twins make another switch. Austin's reaction to Liz's behavior was over the top.

That would be too easy. I think after John uses the veto on himself Vanessa is gonna put up Meg as the replacement nominee to sit next to James. I think the target switched from Jeff to James.

I stand slightly corrected. According to Vanessa, Liz is concerned about her image since Austin has a girlfriend back home. It seems that Austin may be a little hurt & pissy this morning because last night Liz partied with the other HGs and did not sleep with him in the HOH bedroom. He's concerned that he may be doing too much trying to protect her game at his expense.

Now that Vanessa has pulled Steve into their alliance (Vanessa, Austin & the twins and possibly Clay & Shelli) I don't think that Steve is going to be comfortable and I hope that he realizes that he is the low man on the totem pole. Austin doesn't really like him and is only going along now because of Vanessa. I can sorta understand why Steve is trying to lay low now because at first he as giving off an "Ian vibe" and that's threatening to some of the HGs, I think he just needs to be more social with the others and not act so scared and nervous all the time.

I can't believe that John is so comfortable with being used as a pawn. Does he think he is a part of Clay & Shelli and Vanessa & Austin's alliance? If he keeps snooping around the twin twist by commenting on the teeth being different, he may end up being the target this week.

All I can say is WOW! Whether it's true or not, I got a "slimey" vibe from him the first week and that's only because that "sounds" like something that he'd do. I wonder if Liz/Julia told Austin about the incident????

Austin does have a girlfriend back home and that's one of the reasons that Julia was creeped out by Austin. Julia didn't like it but apparently Liz didn't have a problem with it.
