11:00 PM BBT Meg and Becky are contemplating the coming week and looking depressed in the HNR. Becky says she is a walking bullseye. Meg says she wants to eat so bad.

1:05 AM BBT Shelli is talking to Becky, James, Meg, and Jackie in the HOHR. She makes the point that she has never put up James, Meg, and Jackie. It was Vanessa, Austin, and Liz who put them up. Meg says that’s a good point. Shelli believes that she would not have had conversations with Vanessa if she hadn’t been HOH when she was...Shelli’s HOHs have piggybacked around Vanessa’s.

12:34 AM BBT Shelli goes up to HOHR. Meg complains about studying. Shelli wonders if she even needs to be studying. She says she came up earlier and saw Austin. She asks what the connection is with him and why is he blocking her? Meg says she didn’t make the connection. Shelli asks if she has a shot at all. Jackie says that she does, but it’s so hard. Shelli tells them that James is with Vanessa and Julia. Shelli makes her pitch. She knows about the 8-person alliance to target Shelli, Steve and John. Meg says that wasn’t an alliance...just a DE deal. Meg says they don’t even know who is going home tomorrow. Shelli says that she has heard things and that she has come to feel the same way as Becky about Vanessa. 12:37 AM BBT Shelli points out that if they vote Vanessa out, they gain Shelli and if Vanessa is out then Austin and the twins are weak without her. Meg says they are on the same page but Meg is more scared of Johnny Mac than Steve competition wise and that it’s easier to take out Vanessa than Steve or Johnny Mac. Becky is scared that she will be gone if Vanessa wins. Shelli says “do you see how quickly she changes votes?” If Jackie and Meg vote Vanessa out, they would have Shelli and Becky on their side. They continue debating. 12:42 AM BBT Shelli tells them that she won’t put the three of them up [James, Meg, Jackie] and she is good for her word. Shelli feels that she can’t get through to James. The more Shelli thinks about things, she thinks that Clay would tell her to bury the hatchet with James.

12:00 AM BBT In the CBR, Julia is reporting to Vanessa that Johnny Mac and Steve were whispering in the bathroom and now Shelli is out in the KT talking to Johnny Mac whispering. Shelli is called to the DR. Liz comes into the CBR asking Vanessa if she talked to Becky. Vanessa tells them what she said to Becky, that they are fine on a personal level. Austin wasn’t up in HOHR yet. Liz is still mad about Austin ignoring her. Vanessa says that Austin was supposed to be following Shelli around in order to prevent her from campaigning. But he’s up in the HOHR and Shelli is downstairs. Julia thinks Austin should be Jedi mind drilling with them. 12:02 AM BBT Steve comes into the CBR and they start quizzing him. James joins soon after and they continue Jedi training. 12:08 AM BBT Steve joins the HOHR group. Meg is complaining that she is tired. She’s looking forward to sleeping in a bed again. Hopefully it’s a bed inside the BB House. Austin thinks Meg is pretty safe. 12:15 AM BBT In the CBR, Julia tells James that Liz is mad at Austin. Austin is spending too much time with James. James says that Austin needs some bro time. The HOHR group are talking about whether friends and family are still watching the show. 12:17 AM BBT The twins ask James if they agree that John was acting weird tonight. James says that John is probably feeling pretty vulnerable. He lost Clay and he might lose Shelli so he is probably feeling pretty scared in the game. 12:18 AM BBT James explains that he and Austin have talked about not letting the people in the middle of the house coming together and picking apart the other groups and setting them against each other. They don’t want the floaters to be at the end. 12:19 AM BBT In the CBR they discuss who has to go... Steve, Johnny Mac and Becky. Vanessa said that she wanted Becky out first but she is amenable to other views on the order. Steve comes in and asks Liz if they are chessing. Liz leaves with Steve. Vanessa and Julia talk about how Liz always acts the opposite of how she feels, and that makes her easy to read. 12:23 AM BBT Austin and Steve are playing chess while Liz watches and learns. Austin says he’s forgotten how to play and Steve offers to answer any questions. Liz tells Austin that she isn’t going to help him much tonight because he ignored her during bowling. Austin says they have to remember that they are a team. 12:25 AM BBT Vanessa is rehashing with Julia and James that Becky targeting Vanessa was so unnecessary. Vanessa says that the purpose of the deal was to get to a certain point in the game without hurling grenades at each other. James says that he thinks Becky doesn’t like deals. James wants to make sure Becky doesn’t win the second HOH. Vanessa jokes about needing to commandeer the voodoo doll. Vanessa feels like being on the block has changed her attitude and outlook. Vanessa starts speculating about what the second HOH competition will be. 12:28 AM BBT Shelli is complaining about Vanessa to John in the WA. Shelli says she can’t feel good about someone who says they have your back but is okay with Clay and Shelli being on the block. Vanessa said she wouldn’t campaign against Shelli and Shelli says of course not, because she has nothing bad to say about Shelli. John says that for his game he has to just nod until he... he makes a stabbing motion. John feels Vanessa really trusts him right now because she asked him for his vote. John wants to find out from James what the bottom line is. John doesn’t think there is any chance of James coming around unless you offered to be taken out in the DE. Shelli points out that for Meg, Becky and Jackie, it would be better to keep Shelli. Vanessa is called to the DR and Shelli says “good, this is my time to slide in.” She thinks Vanessa is in the HOHR [she isn’t...she is in the CBR with Liz, Julia, and James.]

11:00 PM BBT Julia jokes that Austin is cheating because he’s falling. She takes her first shot and misses entirely. Steve returns the “ball” and Julia hits 3. It sounds like Julia is out of turn. 11:01 PM BBT James is up. On his first throw, he hits 1 pin, and on his second throw he knocks down another 3. Becky says that SJ needs one pin to beat JJ. Shelli knocks down 8 pins on her first throw. 11:03 PM BBT Steve is up. He racks up the pins. Shelli tells him “nice rack”... he says “you have an even nicer rack. He knocks done 4 pins on his first throw and another 2 on his second throw. 11:04 PM BBT Becky is up. She takes out 8 pins on her first throw and then misses on her second throw. Vanessa is up...she gets 5 on her first throw and none on her second. That’s the end. First place is JS...Jackie and Shelli...with 128. JJ is second with 120. Third place with 109 is MA. Fourth place is BJ with 100. Final place was “reigning losers” with 80 points. Steve requests a racking bonus, so the final place team gets 81. 11:09 PM BBT With the bowling game done, HGs have dispersed to different parts of the house. James and Austin are hanging out near the DR door and watching the goings on in the KT and LR area. Steve asks Austin if they will be chessing tonight and Austin sounds annoyed as he agrees. As Steve moves away, James and Austin joke about Steve being his “son.” Austin says the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Austin says he is getting ready to focus. 11:15 PM BBT John and Steve are sitting in the LR talking about spring break. Steve says he is going to need an internship when he gets out of here. Vanessa and the twins convene in the CBR. Liz is upset with Austin because he ignored her the last hour and is hanging out with “you know who” [James] Austin didn’t talk to Liz at all during the bowling game. Vanessa tells Liz that she has nothing to worry about because he is completely smitten. Vanessa thinks that Austin is probably campaigning. Liz says that if anyone asks, she is mad at him. 11:17 PM BBT Vanessa and the twins discuss whether Austin knows things that he is not telling them. Vanessa thinks that he knew about Vanessa being the replacement nom and didn’t say so. Julia thinks that Johnny Mac is acting really weird. Johnny has told Vanessa that he is down and feels like giving up. Julia comments that he has given up this entire time. They decide to practice. How many times does Shelli spin? 2. Clockwise or Counter-clockwise? Counter-clockwise. 11:20 PM BBT Liz is called to the DR. Vanessa tells her “you have to go say goodbye to me.” Liz says she already did it. Vanessa and Julia keep talking after Liz leaves. Vanessa wonders when they will find out how the others are voting. She wants Julia to ask, but Julia wants Austin to do it. Vanessa encourages them to start speaking for themselves instead of letting Austin speak for them. They talk about Liz and Julia being individuals too. Vanessa tells Julia she can do it, and at least now she has all the info because she doesn’t have to switch out anymore. Julia asks about what happened with Clay. Vanessa gives the highlights but says she still doesn’t know what it was about. Julia thinks they will know tonight about votes. Becky wants to talk to the three of them [Austin, Liz, Julia] ...probably to talk votes. Julia plans to just listen. 11:25 PM BBT John, Shelli, Austin, Steve, James, Meg and Becky are all in the LR. They are commenting on the Voodoo doll and asking why they called it female. Austin is calling Steve “son”. Steve is uncomfortable with it. 11:27 PM BBT Vanessa and Julia are talking about targets. Julia talks about making big moves. She doesn’t want to put up Johnny Mac and Steve. She wants to get out someone like James or Jackie. Vanessa advises her to do big moves to avoid the reputation of just hiding behind Austin. Julia points out that Austin hasn’t even been on the block. They talk about Austin’s performance in competitions. Julia feels like Austin is not trying. 11:30 PM BBT Vanessa tells Julia that she is going to go talk to Becky and get it over with and try to find out if she is going home or not. Then she’ll come back and think about her speech. Before she goes, they do some Jedi training. Upstairs in the HOHR, Meg and Becky and Jackie are doing their own Jedi training. 11:38 PM BBT Steve is taking a shower and James says he wants one too. John and Shelli are lounging in the LR without talking. Austin talks to Vanessa in the CBR and tells her it’s awkward but they are trying to avoid talking to her about it until tomorrow. Austin asks Vanessa if she is studying with the girls and she says yes. Austin says he can’t even study because he has to follow this around. He goes to the HNR to talk to James and mentions studying. James points out that Liz and them need to study too. James says it will be too obvious if they are all studying together. Austin says he wants to study with “you guys” and he wants to compare notes with James. They make a plan to study with different groups to gather more information. Austin doesn’t think Johnny Mac is studying with anyone. Maybe Steve will. James says they are at a disadvantage because they are going up against 7 or 8 people. 11:42 PM BBT In the HNR, Austin suggests that if he is guessing he could cough as a signal for letting James know he is guessing. James starts to agree and then they both realize that signalling like that would probably be considering cheating. They better not do that. 11:48 PM BBT Austin goes up to the HOHR to join Becky, Meg, and Jackie’s Jedi training session. Austin tells them that he and James decided to split up so that it wouldn’t look too obvious. Meg asks what James is doing and Austin says that he’s buzzing around the shower waiting for Steve to finish. Becky brings Austin up to speed with where they are in their drill. 11:55 PM BBT Austin, Becky, Meg, and James are still Jedi training in the HOHR. John and Shelli are cleaning up in the KT.

9:02 PM BBT Everyone raving about dinner and complimenting the chef. Liz tells Austin that he can’t take credit because he didn’t help her. He says he opened the oven once or twice and they all laugh. Vanessa offers to make a special dessert. Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Surprise. 9:09 PM BBT Steve is laying on the hammock in the BY. He’s asking John if people are talking about Steve. John tells him they are wondering why Steve isn’t in there eating with them. John asks if Steve is good; it’s a lot to think about. Steve tells John that he is under a lot of pressure from a lot of people. John asks if Austin and the twins are going to try to save Vanessa and Steve tells him that he thinks they know they can’t. Steve thinks his vote doesn’t matter and John agrees because John is going to vote one way and Becky is the tie-breaker. Steve tells John that he needs to keep Shelli, but he doesn’t want to be the guy that breaks his promises. 9:18 PM BBT James is reclining in his dentist chair in the HNR while Jackie looks for a sweater. James wants to know whether Becky was forced into the alliance. Jackie says that it seems like she was forced and she recounts what she remembers of what happened. Jackie says that she left Jackie out once she agreed to the alliance of 8. They wonder why Becky wants to keep Shelli [maybe she wants to take Vanessa’s place in the house]. Jackie tells James that Becky didn’t realize how close Vanessa was with the twins. Jackie complains that Becky is always all over the place. 9:25 PM BBT Jackie tells James that Steve is freaking out, and she says she can’t stand it when Steve gets like that. Jackie and James leave the HNR. They see Meg and Vanessa in the KT. Vanessa says that she isn’t much for cooking so the least she can do is to do the dishes. Austin, Liz, John, Becky, Shelli and Julia are gathered around the HT soaking their feet.

Jackie and Meg talk about how Becky made them slop French toast. Shelli says Becky is really good with making slop better. Meg is having a lot of trouble sleeping on her chair in the HNR. 3:20 PM BBT Austin and Julia are sitting at the DT eating. Liz and Shelli and John are in the KT making something to eat. Liz is trying to figure out what to marinate for dinner. 3:23 PM BBT James, Meg and Jackie are the only HGs remaining in the BY. James comments that it must be their turn to hang out on the loungers. James suggests that their alliance name should be “The Outcasts.” As they settle in on the loungers, Jackie comments that it’s not like the others ever hung out with them anyway. James and Meg agree that it’s normal. James tells them he wanted to talk to Vanessa but she is sleeping. Meg goes in to use the washroom and James says “it’s you and me Jackie.” 3:28 PM BBT Meg comes back out to the BY. Meg comments that it’s weird how everyone is sitting in groups. Austin and the twins together, then Shelli by herself, and Johnny by himself. Jackie says that Shelli is still kind of by herself and trying to figure things out. 3:36 PM BBT John is sitting by the pool with Jackie, Meg and James. Meg says she needs to eat but she doesn’t really want to. John says they are almost done being Have-Nots. James says he doesn’t mind the food part so much as the cold showers. 3:39 PM BBT Julia and Shelli want to check on Vanessa, and Steve tags along too. Vanessa is sleeping in the Comic Room. Shelli says she might sleep too since there is nothing else to do. Steve lays down in Shelli’s bed and they tease that Steve will be in trouble with Clay. Steve is play fighting with Julia and Julia screams. Not surprisingly, Vanessa is now up and comes into the room. 3:48 PM BBT Austin and Liz have joined John, Jackie, Meg, and James in the BY and they are chatting and laughing.

***FLASHBACK*** These updates were not posted to FB/Twitter 3:05 PM BBT Vanessa and Shelli are talking in the WA. Vanessa is upset and telling Shelli about how Becky yelled at her and walked away. She doesn’t understand why Becky is so venomous in the way that she speaks to Vanessa and won’t give her a reason that makes any sense. Vanessa finds it ironic that Becky was offended that Vanessa asked her for her word when Vanessa’s word was the only thing keeping Becky safe in prior weeks. Becky gave her word and broke it. Vanessa didn’t feel she forced Becky into giving her word. Vanessa can’t believe how Becky got so mad and just walked away like that when Vanessa is on the block and just wanted to understand the harsh words that Becky had in her speech. Vanessa feels like the reason is giving is weak and hypocritical. If Becky had asked, Vanessa could have given her a better reason. Vanessa can’t get over that Becky was so venomous and that she just walked away, and she feels it was very mean of Becky. 3:20 PM BBT In the KT, Austin and the twins are talking about the wrestling world. 3:25 PM BBT Meg, James, and Jackie are sleeping in the HNR. 3:26 PM BBT Liz comes to Austin in the KT and suggests that they go talk to Vanessa. Austin doesn’t want to go because it’s awkward, but he does. They hold hands as they walk to the Comic Room. As they enter, Liz says that she heard Vanessa crying, and Vanessa brims up again and tells them about Becky yelling at her and making it personal. It was Vanessa’s word to Becky that caused her to have to get so much blood on her hands. Vanessa tells Liz and Austin that Becky told her that Becky didn’t give her word...she was FORCED to give her word.

3:35 PM BBT Julia and Shelli are in the KT talking about where everyone is. John is in the BY, Austin and Liz are in the Comic room (with Vanessa). Vanessa speculates that the next comp is something about understand people...what America thinks. Vanessa wondering why Meg, James, and Jackie have to break their word just because Becky is. Austin points out that Becky is protecting the fact that it was a four-person decision. Vanessa says that James and Meg have no reason to target Vanessa. Austin says he doesn’t understand why they want to keep Shelli in. 3:37 PM BBT Vanessa tearful as she points out that she made things happen for Austin when his back was against the wall and she did that for Liz too. She was the one who had to come up with ideas. Austin says trust that we are trying to figure out what to do. Liz says they are dead in the water because they have to get one of them to vote the other way. Austin thinks that they will have to get the group of three because they vote together. Vanessa asks if Austin and Liz know of any other reasons given. Austin repeats what Becky has told him. Vanessa still can’t understand why Becky wants her out. 3:45 PM BBT Vanessa quotes: “Putting trust on the unfaithful is like putting weight on a broken ankle.” Austin and Liz move to leave and Vanessa decided to lay low because she is very emotional. Her feelings were hurt by Becky. 3:46 PM BBT Austin and Liz are in the WA. Austin: I don’t think they’ll come after us at double eviction. Maybe the week after. I think they’ll stick to the plan this week because they still need Shelli out. Or Steve out.” Liz isn’t inclined to stick to the plan if they win because the other side hasn’t stuck to the plan. Liz says she is not doing her dirty work for her....Liz’s only downfall is having a twin, and Austin’s downfall is that Vanessa targeted Vanessa. Austin thinks that Vanessa let her paranoia get the best of her. She pulled an “Audrey”. They talk about how Vanessa continues to tell them how much they owe her. 3:50 PM BBT Austin and Liz are irritated by how much Vanessa has been pressing people and now she’s reading and quoting the Bible. Austin points out that having Shelli and Steve on the block was already a hit on their numbers. Liz points out that Vanessa had a lot of blood on her hands and that she made a lot of bold moves. Neither of them really feel like dealing with it. Austin wants to hang out and enjoy a few days before the Thursday storm. He wants to talk to team “have-a-lot” later in the week. 3:52 PM BBT Liz goes out to the BY to get laundry. Austin joins Julia and Shelli in the KT. John is still in the BY. Meg, James, and Jackie are laying in their dentist chairs. They are wearing shades and talking about Audrey and Shelli. James says he has a plan for fighting evil with evil. Meg scoffs and says “what’s that supposed to mean?” James plans to put Shelli up with her “sorority sister” [Julia] and force them [Austin and Liz] to vote Shelli it. James said he would be careful of putting Austin up because the twins might get together and vote him out. Meg says “omg. We have to win this week.” James say yes we do, this is for all the marbles. 4:00 PM BBT General conversation in the KT. In the HNR, they decide to go check on Becky because they have to have her back. As they walk through the Ocean BR James says “aww Steve. He had a rough day.” 4:05 PM BBT Austin and Liz are sitting on the BY couches with Shelli and Julia. Austin and Liz tell them that they just talked to Vanessa and she is really upset and having a rough time. Austin says it’s really awkward. Shelli asks if Vanessa is in the Comic Room. Liz thinks it’s better to leave her because otherwise she keeps bringing up all these favours that they owe her. Austin says that the thing is there is nothing they can do at this point. 4:10 PM BBT Jackie, Meg and James are in the KT and note that the others are talking...probably about how they want to vote. In the BY, Shelli is noting that as there are fewer and fewer people, each group will have to start targeting each other. That’s the reality of the game. Liz is feeling down because they lost Clay last week and they are losing Vanessa this week. Liz says we HAVE to win this week. They talk about how they do with different kinds of competitions. Shelli asks if they are afraid to target the other side of the house. Liz says no way. Not after this. 4:12 PM BBT Julia says that she would not go for Steve or Johnny Mac before going after Meg, James, Jackie, or Becky. Shelli says it would be foolish to do that anyway...to go for the middle. It would be doing the other side’s dirty work for them. Austin asks Shelli what the others are saying to her now. Shelli says that Jackie told her that she was sorry for how things happened and she wanted to clear the air. 4:17 PM BBT Austin, Liz, Shelli and Julia are still in the BY talking about previous houseguests. Austin wonders what was Audrey’s deal and Shelli wonders how Audrey is now. Looking back, Shelli doesn’t feel the closeness she felt with Audrey at first because of how paranoid Audrey became. They could never hang out and just relax. Audrey was always thinking so hard that Shelli couldn’t even follow her. 4:25 PM BBT Meg, James and Jackie are eating and chit-chatting in the KT. Meg is talking about her hair and saying that she would be thankful if there is a hair stylist in jury. 4:28 PM BBT The group in the BY are talking about how Audrey was always thinking final two. As soon as she got excluded she took it as an indication that she was 5th or 6th, and that made her panic and she wanted to always be in the room. They discuss whether she was America’s player. Shelli doesn’t think there is an America’s player. They talk about the contrary votes. 4:35 PM BBT The conversation in the BY has turned to what it was like for the twins to be able to switch out. When they were not in the house, they could watch movies and have a quiet relaxing bath. Shelli is talking about other seasons where people were brought back prior to jury....they must have been sequestered. 4:36 PM BBT Meg tells James and Jackie that she can’t get over that two people are going to be gone. James notes how quiet it is in the house with 11 people left. Two more this week. Meg says that if the two of them go home [Vanessa, Shelli] they are set. 4:45 PM BBT The group in the BY are talking about James. Shelli says there are times when she really likes James but other times she is offended by the way he talks about women. Julia says he is sometimes very inappropriate, but he also has rules with his baby mama that he is not allowed to have a showmance. Austin is surprised that Becky wants to be associated with that group. Julia points out that they were all ready to vote Becky out when she was up against Jason. They think Becky will be the first one to go in that group. James is called to the DR. Shelli comments that Meg will go to the end without having won anything. 4:47 PM BBT In the BY they agree that Meg will probably win second place unless the person she is facing in final two is someone that no one wants to vote for. Austin says Meg is so good at being nice and friendly. 4:54 PM BBT Meg and Jackie are chatting in the KT and you can hear the crackling of something frying on the stove. 4:58 PM BBT James has re-joined Meg and Jackie in the KT and they are talking about the comics of the HGs in the PoV comp.

12:00 AM BBT Steve and Vanessa are in the Colorful Bedroom. Steve is telling Vanessa that he is nervous because Johnny Mac and Shelli are freaking out about the “eight-person” alliance. Vanessa asks how they know about it, and Steve doesn’t know. Vanessa says there is no group. It was a one-week thing. Steve is surprised. Vanessa explains that it was only because they thought the double eviction was last week. Steve tells Vanessa that he has not told Johnny Mac anything. Vanessa says “you know I hate liars, right? You know that, right?” She tells him that she’s trusted him beyond. She asks Steve if he told Johnny Mac anything that made him think that she was going after Johnny Mac. Steve tells her that he doesn’t understand what happened. They talk about what happened with the blowout with James, Clay, and Johnny Mac. 12:07 AM BBT Becky tells Meg, James, and Jackie that she decided that Vanessa needed to go home when Vanessa had a meeting with the two groups and expected them to protect her and pointed at Becky and made her give her word in front of other people. 12:09 AM BBT Becky says that Vanessa does not get to play villain and also keep her hands clean. They continue to share their complaints about Vanessa and they discuss how to approach the planned discussion with Austin. 12:13 AM BBT Steve tells Vanessa that Becky has not asked Steve about his vote. Vanessa believes that Johnny Mac will go up as a pawn and that Shelli will go home. Steve thinks it will be him and Johnny next. They talk about scenarios for the double eviction. Steve tells Vanessa that he is confused about Becky’s game. He’s surprised that Becky is gunning for Shelli because Vanessa is a bigger threat and so are Austin and the twins. They talk about James and Vanessa tells Steve that she actually has grown to respect James’ gameplay. They talk about deals they made around the PoV. Steve wants to clarify what Vanessa promised Shelli versus him. 12:20 AM BBT Vanessa and Steve are talking about Becky’s game and Steve says it will blow up soon. Vanessa says that if Becky puts Vanessa up as the replacement nom, then Becky’s game will blow up VERY soon. 12:26 AM BBT Vanessa tells Steve that if Becky puts up Johnny Mac they will talk about making Becky a target for the double eviction. Steve tells Vanessa they have to change the name of their alliance because “Freaks and Geeks” is the name of a TV show. Vanessa suggests “Freaky Five” and Steve says “great”. 12:35 AM BBT Steve is still worried about Shelli and Johnny Mac. Steve, Shelli and Johnny Mac think they are next. Steve tells Vanessa that he would have a really hard time voting against Johnny Mac. Julia comes into the colorful bedroom, and Steve heads up to the HOHR. 12:38 AM BBT Julia expresses the same concern that Steve just asked about, that Shelli and Johnny Mac have learned about the 8-person alliance. Julia tells Vanessa that Shelli doesn’t know where to go and is feeling at a loose end. Vanessa wonders why Shelli is not hanging out with Vanessa. Julia thinks Shelli is just moping around and needs to get her social game together. 12:40 AM BBT The group in the HOHR are asking Steve about his tooth. He is feeling fine, but others have been telling him that his speech sounds different. He tells them he has no pain right now. 12:43 AM BBT James asks when the veto ceremony will be. Steve jokes with the HOHR group that he’s thinking of using the PoV. He hasn’t decided 100% but he’s leaning towards it. They joke that he just wants to see what the jury house looks like. 12:49 AM BBT The discussion in the HOHR breaks up and they all go down to the KT. Julia and Vanessa are stilling talking in the Colorful Bedroom. They are running scenarios for the double eviction and counting the votes in the various scenarios.

Vanessa asks if she would hook up with Steve and Julia says no. Especially after Steve did not flush! It wouldn’t happen!! Steve comes in and lets them know that as soon as he went up to HOHR, the discussion pretty much broke up. Julia anxiously asks him if he saw Shelli up there. He says no. He jokes again about his decision whether to use the veto.

11:00 PM BBT James and Meg are hanging out on the HOHR couch and talking about how much time they have spent together and how close they have become. Shelli, Austin, Jackie, Steve and the twins are sitting by the Hot Tub talking about contact lenses. Steve says he can’t do contact lenses. Shelli asks the twins what would have happened if they didn’t make it to week five. Would the twin twist have been revealed? The twins don’t know. 11:05 PM BBT In the HOHR, Meg tells James that sometimes she needs time alone, and sometimes when she takes a nap it’s not because she’s tired but because she doesn’t want to talk to people. They begin talking about HOH and what Double Eviction will be like. 11:08 PM BBT Becky joins Meg and James in HOHR. Becky tells James that she loves Larry’s hat...he looks like an Egyptian Pharoah! Meg says he’s on the block though! James says he’s won the veto, so he’ll be okay. 11:15 PM BBT Austin and Steve are still by the HT and having an intense philosophical talk about sound and color and whether either exists if we can’t perceive them. Austin is saying things only exist if they are perceived. Steve covers his eyes and tells Austin he doesn’t exist. Steve insists that he can’t just say what reality is. 11:17 PM BBT In the HOHR, Becky tells James, Meg, and Jackie what she plans to tell Austin: Becky feels that Vanessa has no right to put herself in the middle so that the two different groups would come together to keep Vanessa safe. She didn’t think Vanessa should have even thought of backdooring Austin since Austin has been so good to her. Also Vanessa is not loyal to Shelli and yet Shelli is loyal to Vanessa. Becky plans to apologize to Austin for talking so late, but she is protecting them in case Vanessa comes back into the game later on. 11:27 PM BBT The group in the HOHR are comparing notes on things that Vanessa has said to them. She has told more than one person that they are the person she would be most likely to hang out with outside of the house. They also find Vanessa and Shelli an odd pair. Vanessa has told Jackie that the twins would not vote Shelli out. They talk about Johnny Mac being safe. Becky says “why would I win HOH and then just be Vanessa’s puppet?” Jackie notes that they are at the point in the game that you have to put up two targets. 11:34 PM BBT Austin is talking to Steve and Shelli about consciousness and death and his theory about what “déjà vu” is. Shelli shares a déjà vu moment she had when she was unpacking her suitcase. Steve says he is not going to pretend to understand the universe. Shelli asks Steve what he thinks about Steven Hawking, but Steve again says he won’t pretend to understand Steven Hawking’s work. 11:38 PM BBT Meg and Jackie are repeating over and over that Shelli HAS to go after Vanessa. They talk about what would happen if Shelli wins the Double Eviction HOH. James thinks that if he were to go to jury he would have a good chance of coming back, but Meg points out that they don’t know the rules of how someone would come back into the house. James is sure that he would be the one to go. 11:42 PM BBT Becky giggles and says that she, Meg, and Jackie are like “James’ Angels” and they compare themselves to the Charlie’s Angels characters. James likes it and he wants to go to the DR right away. They fall silent as they watch something happening on the screen. 11:47 PM BBT Vanessa is eating at the DT.

Austin says he “can’t even...” 11:48 PM BBT Becky is talking about the live feeders and that they want to see the houseguests. Jackie notes that Vanessa and Shelli haven’t been all buddy-buddy. Jackie feels bad for Shelli and wants to talk to her just girl-to-girl...not about game. They look at the screen and wonder why the HGs in the KT are looking at the memory wall. Becky thinks it might be “cakes and faces” In the KT, Steve is looking at the picture of Liz and talking about the features that are different between the twins. Steve notes which HGs have pictures where their tongues are visible. 11:56 PM BBT Shelli, Julia, and Steve talk about girls liking a taller guy. Steve and Julia stand side by side and compare their height. Shelli and Julia start talking about their weight. The feed changes to Austin and Liz on the hammock in the BY. Liz is worrying and whining to Austin about needing to figure things out. She’s tired of not having control, since the other side has had power two weeks in a row. Austin points out that you can’t win every week, so it’s great that they haven’t been targeted even while the other side of the house has been in control.

8:03 PM BBT Becky, Meg, Jackie and James are still complaining about Vanessa. Meg comments that anything that Vanessa claims to have on them is fictional because none of them have said anything to her since Jeff left. 8:05 PM BBT Jackie and Meg note that it’s a good thing Austin clued them in about flipping the votes between Clay and Shelli. Becky is smug that she had worked on Johnny Mac and Steve and that she had them. Meg points out that it wouldn’t have mattered because the blowout changed everything so that Clay could not have stayed. 8:07 PM BBT Becky describes how Vanessa puts people in danger so that she can “save” them so that they are grateful and give her their loyalty. She notes that Vanessa did that to her, and that she also did it to Austin. Becky re-iterates that she wants to say a minimum so as not to give Vanessa any ammunition and that she just wants to let Vanessa run her one-woman show and remain calm herself. 8:09 PM BBT Vanessa has joined the group in the LR. They finish their yoga class. Austin and Liz leave the LR area. Shelli sits closer to Vanessa and Julia is still sitting on the floor of the LR. Julia brings up the PoV competition, and both Shelli and Vanessa talk about what went wrong and how strong Steve was with it. 8:15 PM BBT Julia and Liz in the WA whispering about James, Jackie, Meg and Steve are upstairs talking. Shelli comes out of the WC and corrects them...Steve is in the DR. Julia is comforted that Steve is not up there. Julia says that she also heard Steve and John talking ... they would be whispering and then when she walked by they would talk really loud about something obvious like comps. Julia says “please guys. You make it so obvious!” Liz leaves and Julia and Shelli keep talking. Feeds change to Vanessa and Austin in the Ocean bedroom. Vanessa tells Austin that she hasn’t asked him for a favor yet in this game but she has a favor to ask now. Vanessa wants Austin to go up to the HOHR and talk about things about the four of them...She wants Austin to tell the HOHR group that Vanessa, Austin and the twins are willing to make a double eviction plan for next week. Vanessa begs him, saying “Austin, I’m counting on you, please!” 8:18 PM BBT Austin complains to Liz about having to go upstairs [His assignment from Vanessa]. He’s worried he’ll burn it. Austin comes into the HOHR and sits near the table. Meg asks if he is coming to play with them. They talk about the HOH and PoV comps at length. 8:28 PM BBT In the HOHR they are talking about how Steve wins when he needs to... “Like Dan Gheesling.” They talk about Dan and the fact that he has written books about how to win BB. Meg says that Steve is still here because they are playing idiot games. James says it will be an interesting HOH if Steve wins. 8:32 PM BBT The group in the HOHR are still talking about competitions. They are speculating on what competitions are coming up and talking about Zingbot coming in. 8:38 PM BBT Meg, Jackie and Austin are talking about the PoV competition again [Austin still hasn’t found an opening for the game talk that Vanessa asked him to pitch] 8:41 PM BBT Vanessa is in the WA putting nail polish on her fingernails.

6:32 PM BBT Steve, John, and James are at the Dining Table talking about how long the PoV competition took. John would not have guessed it was 5 hours. It felt like an eternity but he would only have guessed three. James is shocked that it was 5 hours. Steve notes that they had to reset and test everything after each competitor played. They continue talking about what types of competitions are left to go. 6:35 PM BBT Austin and Liz lounging in the WA as Shelli puts on her make-up.

Liz, Becky, Austin and Shelli are in the KT and they are all talking about Liz being the evil twin. Liz jokes that she’s okay with being the evil twin because she IS evil. 6:46 PM BBT In the HNR, James asks Meg how to say goodbye in French. He was trying to say “Bon Voyage” in one of his DR speeches and couldn’t pronounce it. James tells Meg that Julia has a crush on Steve. Meg thinks that’s weird. James tells Meg that he asked Julia about who she would have a showmance with in the house and she told James it would have to be Steve. Meg starts stressing about being wrong about the days in the house. 6:49 PM BBT James and Meg talk about their team. Becky has speed and agility, James has endurance, Meg has brains, and Jackie is a good overall player. 6:52 PM BBT Julia is setting up the Voodoo doll in the other nomination chair next to the Llama. Julia insists that the voodoo doll is a girl and John says that’s good because then they can’t use voodoo on him. Julia has given the voodoo doll green jelly-bean eyes. 6:48 PM BBT Julia comes into the HNR to get James and Meg to come and see “Miss Voodoo” They go out and join Shelli, Becky, and John in the LR.

James squirts something from a bottle into the shower area. James looks at his hair in the mirror and notes that he has a lot of gray hairs and that his hair is thinning out. He blames it on the stress of being in the house. John laughs at him saying he hardly has any gray. 7:16 PM BBT Shelli is telling Liz and Julia about how badly she bombed in the PoV comp. 7:20 PM BBT Jackie and Meg in the WA talking gleefully about Shelli and Vanessa being up on the block together and duking it out.

The twins have not won anything. Meg says “and we have Steve on our side, too” 7:26 PM BBT Shelli tells the twins about where all the different PoV players had to stay while the others competed. Meg had to sit on the sky deck. Becky was first and had to sit on the floor in the storage room while all five of the others competed. Shelli was in the Hammock room, Austin was in the HNR, Steve and Vanessa were in different bedrooms. 7:28 PM BBT Meg and Jackie are in the WA crowing gleefully over how shocked Vanessa will be. Meg thinks it’s great that it’s Becky is doing it...she’s the most random person. Meg wonders what Becky’s speech will be. Jackie sees Becky and calls her into the WA. Meg tells Becky about Vanessa “flying” into the HNR to ask them if the plan is still the same. Becky tells them that Vanessa was pressuring her even before the HOH comp. 7:36 PM BBT In the LR, Shelli lounges on the couch watching as Austin leads Liz and Julia in some stretches. 7:37 PM BBT Johnny Mac is flaked out in the Comic Book Room. Vanessa is awake and tells Johnny Mac she needs to talk to him. He says “yeah” and she suggests that they can talk on the hammock once the back yard is open. He agrees. Vanessa starts talking about the PoV competition. She felt really sluggish and frustrated. John says that he is feeling a lack of energy in general and doesn’t even feel like talking. He thinks it might be because of the exertion of the HOH comp. 7:42 PM BBT Vanessa is looking very worried. She gets up and goes to the HNR but finds it empty. Meg and Jackie are chatting with Becky in the HOHR. Meg comments about Shelli picking Vanessa for the PoV competition. Becky says that Shelli and Vanessa will be side by side.

She asks him if she knows if Becky is going to do it. She tells Steve that Becky already changed the deal because Johnny Mac was supposed to be up against Shelli, not Steve. Clearly, Becky doesn’t intend to put Johnny Mac up. Vanessa is pointing out that the house could flip and she could go home. Johnny Mac will vote to keep Shelli. Vanessa is upset because she had a great strategy for the comp but she couldn’t move fast enough. Steve gives her a hug and reminds her that they are on a TV show in a parking lot. 7:51 PM BBT In the HOHR, Becky, Meg and Jackie are talking about who has campaigned against who. Becky tried to tell them what she is going to say, but Jackie keeps talking over her. James knocks on the door and joins the meeting. Becky wants things to be cool and calm because everything was so nuts last week. She wants to take personal responsibility and not blow anything up. Anyone going to jury could come back in the game. Becky wants to let Vanessa do her thing. Jackie still wants to confront Vanessa about something.

Meg says that maybe Shelli has to go first. They wonder if Johnny Mac is going to take care of Shelli for Clay. They start discussing ways they might neutralize Johnny Mac’s vote, and they worry about how Vanessa is going to campaign. James thinks Shelli should go this week, but Meg points out that Vanessa is constantly flipping votes in the house. One of them needs to go. 5:13 PM BBT Austin and Vanessa are in the WA. Austin tells Vanessa that he really doesn’t think they are going after Vanessa. Vanessa tells Austin that Becky is very much on James’ side and that Becky just finished raving to her about how great it is to be part of an open four-person group.

James thinks that all their friends are still watching. Meg says three days out of the week is a lot. James says his friends are probably having watching parties.

Becky tells Shelli that she is going after Vanessa and will have a lot to say about her.

Becky says that Steve volunteered to be a pawn and she thinks that Steve and John both dislike Vanessa. 3:41 PM BBT Becky tells Shelli that she plans to keep things very concise with Vanessa because Vanessa likes to talk a lot of game plans. Becky lays out all her complaints about the twists and turns of Vanessa’s game and Vanessa’s demands for accountability.

Becky confides that Vanessa knew that Shelli was going on the block and ask Becky not to let Shelli know that Vanessa knew. 3:44 PM BBT Shelli asks what happens if Vanessa plays for PoV. Becky says that Vanessa feels safe because Vanessa believes that Shelli is the target. Becky thinks Vanessa may even throw the PoV if she has the chance to play. Becky thinks that if Vanessa did win PoV that Vanessa would take Shelli off the block. Shelli says she is nervous about Becky having to nominate another person. Becky says that that is the beauty of HOH...it’s her problem and Shelli shouldn’t worry. All Becky wants Shelli to worry about is being the supposed house target. Shelli is happy to stay out of it and let Becky take the lead. Becky thinks it will be much easier and more straightforward to deal with Austin and the twins directly. Becky says that Austin and the twins don’t know that the plan is to backdoor Vanessa, and Steve and John don’t know either. Shelli thanks Becky for sharing the plan with her and they hug. 3:51 PM BBT James, Jackie, and Meg are reclining in their dentist chairs in the HNR. Vanessa has just left and James comments about Vanessa not saying anything while she was in there. James says she seems comfortable. Meg and Jackie wonder what Shelli will say about Vanessa being an independent player. They joke about Vanessa’s gameplay. Meg doesn’t think anyone will ruffle feathers with voting. Conversation turns to Becky’s speech. They were impressed with how well she handled it. James thought it was one of the best speeches he’s heard so far. They talk about how hard it is. 3:58 PM BBT James reflects on the season being straightforward putting people up. Meg points out that now it is...it was far from that when they had BotB. Meg addresses America: welcome to the outcast room. We are the weirdos of the group and we are sleeping in dentist chairs this week. Get ready for lots of conversation. James says that they are the underdogs. They should be “Team Castaway”. 4:01 PM BBT James, Jackie and Meg talking about how they are not the ones who drew the lines in the sand. Meg wonders what Becky is going to tell Shelli and how she will sell it. Jackie doesn’t think that Becky will need to sell it to Shelli. James is wishing for his sunglasses in the fully-lit HNR. Becky, Shelli, Austin and the twins are in the KT and Dining area. 4:11 PM BBT James is rolling up a towel to use as a neck pillow. Becky comes into the HNR. Meg tells Jackie that they are going to hibernate and if anyone wants to talk to them they’ll have to come to HNR. Becky tells them that she told Shelli the plan. They compliment Becky on her speech and she takes a small bow. Meg tells Becky that Vanessa was reacting oddly and describes a sullen attitude. Becky thinks that Vanessa is just putting on a show for Shelli. Meg says Shelli wasn’t around. Becky shrugs and leaves the room. 4:20 PM BBT Vanessa has joined the group in the KT, while Shelli has gone to lay down in the Ocean Bedroom. 4:24 PM BBT Steve and Austin are in the Storage Room. Steve looks at Austin expectantly and says “find out”. Austin tells Steve that he is not the target. Shelli is...or Austin is worried that they will backdoor Vanessa. Steve wants to know why Vanessa? Austin says it’s because of her involvement with Shelli and Clay stuff last week. That’s just Vanessa’s worry, but Austin doesn’t know anything for sure. As far as he knows they want Shelli out. Steve is confident they have the votes to keep Vanessa. Austin says “we have veto.” They leave the storage room and Steve asks Shelli for a “Shelli hug”. 4:31 PM BBT In the HNR, Meg and Jackie are laughing. It sounds like they are making a list of advice to potential BB cast members. Number 6... get a twin, find a twin, you’re better off having a twin. You need a twin. Number 7.. beware of any man in a top hat. Number 8...campaign for everyone because if you don’t you will still be accused of it. Number 9...never go along with any plan because you will look like the a**hole. Always change the plan. Number 10...be as paranoid as possible. Freak people out. It’s always good to be insecure [maybe this is their take on Vanessa’s guide to playing BB?] Number 11 ... when you are trying to throw someone under the bus, make sure that you tell them something they don’t know. Number 12... don’t tell on yourself. Just keep lying and once you lie, stick to it. James adds Number 13... Paranoia will eventually get the best of you. 4:33 PM BBT Feeds switch to Vanessa talking to Shelli in the Ocean BR. They are discussing Becky’s loyalties. Vanessa thinks that John is Becky’s extra person, and not someone Becky is loyal to. Vanessa offers to give Shelli the arguments to give to others. Vanessa thinks Johnny Mac is a bigger target than Steve. Vanessa explains that while she was shining Jackie’s armor she got a lot of information because no one was paying attention to her. Vanessa thinks they can get the votes to keep Shelli but they might have to make a deal with Johnny Mac. 4:40 PM BBT Vanessa is venting to Shelli about how Becky flip flops. She was with them and now she is with James and his crew. Doesn’t she realize that she is the low man on the totem pole with them?

James doesn’t think Vanessa would put any of the three of them up, but he thinks it’s trouble to have both Vanessa and Shelli in the house. They know that Vanessa will already be running scenarios especially with the Double Eviction coming up. James think that one of them will win the veto as long as Johnny Mac doesn’t get picked.

12:09 AM BBT Liz and Julia are in the HNR and Austin comes in. Liz tells Austin that Vanessa is scared if Austin votes to keep Clay, that Clay will turn on Austin and deny all the things that Austin made Clay swear. Austin says that if they keep Shelli it will just confirm to them that they are working with Shelli because otherwise why would he keep her after she threw him under the bus. He thinks they should keep Clay. Steve comes in thinking there is a Freaks and Geeks meeting, but Vanessa is missing. Shelli is in the DR so they want to meet while she is in there. The twins “scamper” [disperse so that they are not all caught talking together] and Austin fills Steve in on what he just told the twins. 12:12 AM BBT Steve is advising Austin in the HNR to keep the target off his back. Steve tells Austin that he has to protect Austin/Liz and the twins. Steve starts running scenarios. Scenario 1: Clay stays. Jackie wins HOH. Who will Jackie put up? Austin or Liz.

Vanessa can’t understand why John would cry about Shelli and Clay being nominated. 11:49 PM BBT Vanessa asks if Julia[?] feels she has to vote the same way as Austin.

Liz tells Vanessa that they were talking to James and Meg earlier who told her that they were leaning towards keeping Clay. Vanessa asks if anyone has thrown her under the bus. Liz says that they [James/Meg] didn’t mention Vanessa at all. Liz thinks they have no idea that Liz and Austin are working with Vanessa. Double Eviction came up in the discussion Liz had with James and Meg. James said that Vanessa wanted to talk to him about that. Liz and Vanessa talk about the need to talk about that tonight. 6:17 PM BBT Liz is concerned that if Shelli would thrown Austin under the bus, then she might do the same to the twins. Vanessa reassures her that it was because her back was against the wall and Shelli regretted it. It had nothing to do with the twins at all. The conversation breaks up when Becky comes into the WA. 6:27 PM BBT Liz and Vanessa are in the WA. Vanessa is taking a shower. James and Steve come in and say hi to both girls. Vanessa remarks how strange it is that she can talk to others while standing in the buff in the shower. They laugh at how strange it would have been on day 1 but now it doesn’t seem odd at all. James and Steve go out to hang out in the LR. Someone calls to James asking about when the feast is. James replies that it will probably be at about 9 or 10 o’clock. Steve says he’s going to eat normally because he probably won’t eat Chipotle because it has lots of “stuff” on it, and he doesn’t like “stuff.” But it’s okay, because he’s not a foodie. 6:32 PM BBT Meg is sitting next to the hammock talking to Clay and Shelli. Shelli is glad they are having a feast. Meg feels like it’s a good day. BB did some stuff for them. Meg asks how they are doing. Shelli says “okay” but she is going to miss Clay and others. Clay says they had a lot of good experiences. He is philosophical saying that it was going to happen eventually. It’s just a week too soon. They feel like it’s been a great group to get to know. Meg talks about how weird the whole BB experience is and the emotions that you have that you don’t encounter day to day. Meg says its worse than high school. 6:38 PM BBT Jackie and James are sitting at the DT. James is eating something and Jackie is doing her nails. In the WA. Vanessa is quizzing Steve on how the double eviction works while Austin has a shower. Vanessa thanks Steve for the information and Steve says “you’re welcome” and then tells Vanessa... “you know what? These disinfectant wipes [he is holding the container in his hand] are gluten free!” and shows her the label. Steve tells Austin too and also Liz when she comes out of the WC. After Liz leaves, Vanessa tells Steve she wants to have a talk with him later because she’s had a bad day. 6:42 PM BBT Shelli wonders if Meg would be targeted if she was in a showmance. Are Shelli and Clay targets because of being a showmance or because together they are strong both physically and mentally. Shelli notes that Meg plays a great social game but she doesn’t win anything. Shelli brings up Victoria making it to the end of the game by being a pawn on the block every week. Shelli notes that Meg has been on the block twice and freaked out crying about it. Shelli thinks that Meg will just float on through. Clay thinks that whichever of the two of them stays in the house, they will be put up next week. 6:46 PM BBT BB asks for the awnings to be raised. Clay and Shelli are the only ones in the back yard and they whine about having to do it, but then they get up and get it over with. 6:52 PM BBT Meg, Jackie, James, Vanessa and Steve are sitting around the Dining Table talking about high school and college. Shelli and Clay continue their hammock date in the BY.

4:19 PM BBT Steve is in the pool, while others are lounging. John and Austin are working out. Liz freaks out because she realizes that she had a nip slip. Meg says the camera was on you too! James and Steve are putting awnings down and James is complaining about missing the nip slip. 4:45 PM BBT James gets ready to read out a card to the assembled HGs in the LR. They are hoping it’s about food. A voice says “Houseguests? Just one second” and we get FotH. When feeds come back at 4:51 PM BBT, John and Steve are lounging in the LR. Meg and James are talking about saving their appetite. They are talking about chipotle and burritos.

11:02 PM BBT Vanessa sitting on the Hammock in the BY with Austin and Vanessa. Vanessa tells Austin that Clay is not planning to talk to them because he doesn’t know what else to say. Vanessa says we should tell Shelli not to encourage Clay to talk to anyone so that they can cite the fact that Clay is talking to them as a reason for voting Clay out. 11:04 PM BBT Vanessa tells Austin and Liz about some of the discussions with Clay and Shelli that illustrate that Clay has no idea. Julia comes over to sit on a cushion near the hammock and the talk turns briefly to manicures and pedicures. Liz asks Vanessa to reiterate how she knows about Clay not talking to Austin and the twins, and Vanessa tells them that Clay told her that he didn’t need to talk to them. Liz gasps at that. Vanessa goes on to say that Clay was feeling bad about Shelli going out with a unanimous vote, and Vanessa says not to worry because she would keep her promise to vote him out. Clay told her she didn’t need to keep that promise if it hurts her game. 11:10 PM BBT Steve and John are playing pool in the back yard. Steve comments about Vanessa talking to Austin and the twins. Hmmm. Ok. 11:13 PM BBT Jackie, Meg, and Becky hanging out in the WA and whispering. They are wondering about Austin and the twins. If you came into the game as part of a twist, why would you tell people so soon? And why is Austin here? He seems more interested in showmances and he’s a wrestler. Jackie talks about how Austin seemed to want to recruit her for a wrestling “vampire girl” character. She thinks Austin is there for the wrong reasons. Becky says he’s either really dumb or really smart to play for second place. It may be a ruse to cause people to overlook him. Meg points out that Vanessa and Austin have never been on the block. 11:16 PM BBT In the WA, Meg comments to Jackie and Becky that it seems like Shelli might be working more closely with Vanessa, Austin and the twins that they have realized. Becky says it’s past tense...they don’t work together anymore [with Shelli leaving]. Meg says they need to ask Shelli about it. 11:20 PM BBT Vanessa, Austin and the twins are saying that they need to be happy because they either make the finals or they have fun times in the jury house. And they get paid, and paid well. Vanessa says it’s about a thousand a week and we get FotH. 11:24 PM BBT Julia leaves to play a game of pool with Johnny Mac and Steve comes over to take her place near the hammock. Vanessa shows him her manicure and says that she was “in-squired”. Steve comments that he is fourth-wheeling, and Vanessa says she is third-wheeling [Austin and Liz laying on the hammock, Vanessa sitting near them, and Steve sitting on the ground]. Vanessa asks Steve if he’s thought about what she told him this morning and he says he still wants to think about it. Austin and Vanessa both tell Steve that Clay is getting shadier. Vanessa relays what Clay told her about not having to keep the promise to vote him out. Austin complains that Clay hates Austin because Austin didn’t do enough to save him. Liz suggests that Steve consider who is a better person to Steve in the game. Austin is planning to tell James that he will keep his promise to Clay because he doesn’t feel comfortable with the alternative. Steve tells them that he hasn’t made any promises about how he will vote. 11:29 PM BBT Steve wants to know how they are planning to communicate their plan. Austin says that’s what they are talking about, but he wants to tell James because he feels owes James that since James didn’t put him up. Steve tells them he is on board. He feels that he hasn’t contributed as much as others in their alliance, so he feels that he can at least help out by voting the way they want. Vanessa says that she loves his sense of fairness. Steve says he doesn’t feel he has the right to have any say and she says he does have a right. Steve replies that he didn’t have a strong feeling either way so he is okay with voting to evict Clay. 11:36 PM BBT Austin and Liz continue lounging on the hammock and discussing things. Liz is worried about going back on what they told James because they “kind of told him we would vote his way.” Austin goes through the narrative that he will present to James and they keep discussing it. 11:45 PM BBT The HGs in the BY are going crazy over a praying mantis they found in the back yard. They gather around as it settles on one of the free weights. James says it’s the BB mascot. Julia is kneeling down looking at it and saying how cute it is while James notes that it has stingers and can attack.

2:58 PM BBT Austin is in the pool and both twins are hanging out nearby. They talk about how Clay is giving them the evil eye. They are trying to be cordial, but he is making it difficult. They want Austin to scout out where Clay is at so they can avoid him. John is called to the DR. One of the twins asks if Steve is on board to vote to keep Shelli. Austin thinks probably. Austin finds it odd that John is called to the DR so much and wonders if John has been in an alliance with Shelli and Clay from day 1, especially since he cried when they went up on the block. 3:01 PM BBT Vanessa has been working out on the elliptical and she comes over to Austin and the twins and talks about how James is on such a power trip when he is HOH. They ask Vanessa if Steve is on board. She lets them know he is thinking about it, but she thinks that he will come around because he isn’t doing anything else for their alliance, so the least he can do is vote the way they ask him to. 3:03 PM BBT In the BY, Austin, Vanessa, Liz and Julia affirm that they want to keep Shelli because they have a closer relationship with her vs. Clay. They talk about next week. If Shelli wins HOH she would probably target James, but the four of them would probably prefer to go after Jackie. 3:10 PM BBT In the BY, Vanessa teases Steve about being Clay’s brother after he suggests that John and Clay might be brothers. With a laugh, Vanessa tells Austin that she is actually Liz and Julia’s older sister that they never told him about. In the KT, Clay and Shelli are gushing about how good the food is that they are preparing. More conversations about unknown relationships between BB HGs in the past. 3:12 PM BBT In the BY, Austin complains about being called to the DR when he is just out of the pool and still wet. Reclining on loungers next to one another, Steve tells Vanessa that he wants to hang out with her more so bad. She says they will be able to. Steve tells Vanessa that James told him after the meeting to tell him how James is watching out for Steve and he trusts Steve. Vanessa lets Steve know that James is pushing for Steve to go up next week. Steve is skeptical that James would throw him under the bus because it’s too easy to get him out. Vanessa says that everyone is on board with getting out a floater. Steve is offended that he is considered a floater. She points out that Jackie, James, and Meg see him as a floater. Vanessa tells him to win HOH if he doesn’t want to be seen as a floater. 3:16 PM BBT Shelli and Clay are in the KT eating the food they prepared. The conversation continues in the BY with Vanessa telling Steve that the other side of the house wants to know there is a target for next week because they don’t want it to be them. Julia comes back and there is some banter between them. Julia notes that she can still the triangle where Shelli walked. 3:25 PM BBT In the BY, all five members of the Freaks and Geeks (Austin, Liz, Julia, Vanessa, and Steve) are chit chatting about where the jury house is and previous jurors. 3:33 PM BBT The twins are in the KT with Shelli getting their favorite slop recipe ready. Clay and Shelli head out to the BY couches. Vanessa and Steve are still sitting on the loungers. Clay goes to get something near them, but doesn’t speak to them. He walks past them to join Shelli on the BY couch. Shelli says “remember when we used to sit out here when we were have-nots and we were so cute?” Clay chuckles and says they are still cute. Shelli says “I know.” Clay talks to Shelli about being in a bad spot. Shelli is mad because she should have known better than to fall into that trap [of throwing Austin under the bus]. She said too much and made a bad choice. She blames her lack of judgement on being right off the battlefield. 3:40 PM BBT Shelli complains that her cut was so wrong. Clay tells her that she can’t be right all the time, but she was right about him. He gives her a kiss and she says he smells like coffee. Clay remarks that the house is getting a bit old. They’ve done it…they’ve been here and led the BB life. He’s had as much scheming as he can take. They snuggle up on the pillows and are enjoying being outside on this calm-weather day. 3:45 PM BBT In the Ocean Bedroom, Vanessa, Jackie and Meg are laying down and James is waking up Meg. Meg is startled. He tells her to get up!! She asks what is going on and he tells her that the other side of the house is outside on the couches where they used to hang out with Jason before they took their buddy Jason out. 3:47 PM BBT Meg gets up and follows James to the Storage Room to talk (under cover of getting some eggs). James tells Meg that Steve talked game to James. Steve told him that James, Jackie, Meg and Jason were all brought up as potential replacement noms. Clay and Shelli both came to Steve that Clay and Shelli both came to Steve to let Steve know that Jason was the target. James is now feeling validated in his decision to keep Clay and Shelli on the block together and has no remorse at all. James feels that Steve is on their side. Meg notes that Steve hates Austin. James says he just wanted to let Meg know. As they leave the Storage Room, James says that Jason will be proud. 3:56 PM BBT Big Brother gives instruction about the awnings near the Hot Tub and Hammock. Shelli and Clay comply while Steve “contributes emotional support” from the pool. 4:00 PM BBT Meg, James, Austin, Liz and Julia are in the KT chatting and/or eating. Clay and Shelli are in the WA brushing their teeth. 4:01 PM BBT Becky joins the conversation in the KT about something that got hidden by HGs in a prior season and how the house got torn up when everyone tried to find the hidden items. 4:07 PM BBT Some HGs, including Jackie and Vanessa are sleeping in the Ocean BR. Austin and Liz are out in the BY on a double lounger. Austin is sharing what he told James about being grateful that James didn’t put him up despite Shelli and Clay’s efforts. Liz is ticked off that Shelli and Clay did a lot of damage, but Austin thinks they only tried to do damage and that they didn’t actually do damage since James wasn’t fooled. 4:10 PM BBT Julia is in the Hot Tub and Liz and Austin are still chatting on the lounger about Shelli and Clay. Shelli and Clay are cuddled up in the Ocean BR and trying to sleep. 4:14 PM BBT Clay is talking to Shelli quietly and they talk about family members. Shelli tells him that he’s saying some weird stuff. Clay is whispering so softly that his response can’t be heard...the only phrase that comes through is “the opposite of strategic.” They seem to settle into a nap. 4:16 PM BBT Austin and Liz are holding hands on the lounger. Liz is examining Austin’s hand. She whispers that she wants to try to talk to Jackie, but it’s hard. Austin starts whispering a response but gets interrupted by a shout from James. Meg, John, James and Julia are settled on the BY couches and chatting. They are startled when they hear a car door slam and then say “we ARE in a parking lot.” John is quiet while Meg, James and Julia speculate about what it would be like if Zach was in their season. 4:20 PM BBT Becky joins the conversation on the BY couches and talks about how Zach could NOT hold still. He didn’t know how to adapt his behaviour for the mood of the house. 4:22 PM BBT Austin is caressing Liz’s arm and telling her they should be celebrating because they are going to make it to jury. He says to think of the people that didn’t make it. Liz feels bad about Jason not making it. They talk about how they are the biggest outcasts and they turned it around and now they have all the power .... if they win, that is. Austin leans over to kiss Liz’s cheek and then cuddles closer. They are quiet as a plane flies overhead. 4:24 PM BBT Austin says he likes having a few days that they know they are safe and can relax. They thought they were done when James won HOH, but somehow they turned that around. Austin says it’s not about winning every week, but about making the right game and social moves, and not playing too many sides of the house or getting caught in lies. 4:26 PM BBT Liz says that she hopes that they don’t go up on the block together. Austin thinks that if they make it known they are going after a floater, that others might kick the HOH power to them. Liz asks what Austin thinks HOH will be. Austin says it might be questions and then lists off all kinds of various possibilities. 4:31 PM BBT There is conversation between the group at the BY couches and Liz shouting from the lounger. They talk about Jackie and how difficult a time she has with her costume and how much harder it is versus the germitard that Nicole had to wear. They start talking about punishments until Steve joins the group with a sandwich and they start talking about food. 4:34 PM BBT The group in the BY note that the port-o-potty is still in the BY. Becky says it’s the “whack shack” because it’s the only bathroom without a camera. Others comment that it’s locked. James says he knows where the key is but they don’t think it’s there anymore. 4:36 PM BBT Liz is still rehashing how Shelli and Clay did Austin dirty last night. Austin says that’s why he wants to talk to Meg and James and let them know how grateful he is that he didn’t buy into what Shelli and Clay said. He is going to use it to his advantage to make an even better position with them. Austin tells Liz that it’s much nicer now that Liz is always there and doesn’t have to switch out all the time. 4:36 PM BBT Liz tells Austin that she and Julia are so different in how they play the game. She thinks that Julia talks too much and isn’t always smart about what she says. Julia mentioned to Clay that Austin and Liz had talked to James. Austin points out that Julia is feeling her way because this is the first time that she gets to be herself. Liz keeps trying to tell Julia but doesn’t want to come down too heavy on her. They think that Julia repeats too much but that she doesn’t know better. Liz is going to talk to her about it. 4:39 PM BBT Liz feels that Austin and her are more vulnerable than Julia and that if Julia messes up it will be Austin or Liz that will pay the price. 4:43 PM BBT Becky is telling the group on the BY couches about living in Germany and feeling pressured to smoke. She didn’t smoke for a long time but finally gave in because it was such a common social “event” to go for coffee and a cigarette. 4:47 PM BBT The group on the BY couches is talking about how much larger the cast is and how earlier casts would be down to 8 people at this point in the game, while they still have 12. 4:49 PM BBT Steve has a blue raspberry lollipop and Meg gets up to get lollipops for herself and the others. James jokes about dentists not recommending lollipops. John says “yes... do not have any fun.” James and Julia are sitting close together and they joke about what their showmance name would be ... Jalia... Jamesia... Jamea... Juliay... Steve says it’s too hard...they are not allowed to showmance. Becky likes “JJ” as a showmance name for them. 4:53 PM BBT Meg comes back with lollipops. James and Julia choose colours and Meg takes the remainder. Meg wants to try the one that James took, and they trade. 4:56 PM BBT The group on the BY couches are joking about kisses and talking about lollipop flavours. 4:58 PM BBT Liz and Austin are sitting with their feet in the Hot Tub. From the BY couch, Steve suggests a kiss. Liz says “Not unless it’s Truth or Dare, buddy!” James jokes about him and Johnny Mac kissing.

12:02 AM BBT In the HOHR, Meg, James, Austin, Liz, and Julia are talking about the votes for Da’Vonne and also that Da’Vonne got the last laugh twist. They start talking about next week. Austin asks who they think will be HOH next week, and then they begin talking about whether next week will be double eviction. 12:08 AM BBT Shelli is planning to go back up there after Austin and the twins leave. She is grilling John about what he’s been told when she is called to the DR. 12:10 AM BBT Clay is telling John that they have not been able to trust the people they have been working with. Clay says that Vanessa swears to their faces that she is the most loyal person in the house. John says he’s had to lie to a lot of people to keep “us four” safe. 12:11 AM BBT John says that Steve thinks that John is going to the end with him, but John is actually okay with Steve going home. Clay says maybe he is being naïve because Audrey, Jeff, and Vanessa have all let them down. John says “and me” but Clay tells him that he knows that was unintentional. [i think John is referring to not telling Clay and Shelli that they were going up] 12:15 AM BBT In the WA, Shelli asks Julia what is going on upstairs and is told that they are talking about how Clay has said that he wants to be the one to go home so that Shelli can stay. Shelli says that neither of them want to be evicted and that she feels that people who were supposed to be on their side are okay with one of them going home. Shelli asks who is saying that and Julia says that Clay has said that to Meg, Liz and herself. Shelli says that she and Clay have put their games on the line and that no one is returning the favor. People they have tried to help are not sticking up for them. Julia says they can talk about things, but Shelli is skeptical. Julia says she feels bad that Shelli feels that way and that she’ll try to help. 12:22 AM BBT In the HOHR, Meg, James, Austin and Liz are talking about how Shelli and Clay spoke during the nomination ceremony. Julia comes back into the room and reports on her conversation with Shelli in the WA about Clay going instead of Shelli. Meg says that Shelli and Clay keep saying people that are close to them are turning their backs on them, but Meg is confused because she doesn’t know who they mean. Who has been close to them? They only care about each other. Julia tells them about how much they did for Austin last week. Julia felt attacked. 12:31 AM BBT Julia says that it’s going to be easy for her to vote Shelli out. The twins want to avoid them, but Austin says that will make things worse. They agree on what they are going to say they have been talking about in order to keep things relatively calm with Shelli and Clay. Meg points out how Shelli and Clay take credit for helping Austin last week, and simultaneously claim that they had nothing to do with getting Jason out. The twins go out together because Liz wants to do her hair but doesn’t want to be alone in case she gets cornered like Julia did. 12:34 AM BBT Julia and Liz in the WA with Vanessa. Julia tells Vanessa that Shelli just attacked her and she tells Vanessa how Shelli feels that everyone is turning their backs on Shelli and Clay. Liz starts blow-drying her hair and Julia tells Vanessa that Shelli was very aggressive. Austin comes into the WA and joins the convo. Vanessa asks if the noms are going to stay the same, and Austin says yes… 90%, but they are saying that the discussion is that they might get a floater out, like Steve. Vanessa asks if they told him that. He tells her that Shelli and Clay are saying they were the last to know and that they helped Austin so much. 12:39 AM BBT Meg and James are the only ones left in the HOHR. James thinks that he would throw Clay and Vanessa up next time he is HOH. Meg calls Vanessa a floater in terms of her loyalty. James says that he doesn’t trust Vanessa. Just then, Vanessa comes up to “have a party” since they are having one with everyone else. She wants to know what’s going on because they had a deal about what is going on. Meg and James say they were going to come tell her. They were just checking with others about whether there had been any change of heart. James tells Vanessa that Shelli and Clay had been there telling James that everyone in the house was on board with a floater being put up as a replacement nom. Vanessa says that everyone would be okay with sending home a floater but she respects his decision if he keeps the noms the same even though she is close to Clay and Shelli, probably more so than Steve. She asks James if he is considering putting up a floater and James says no, not really. He’ll sleep on it. 12:44 AM BBT In the HOHR, Vanessa asks to clarify information. She says that Clay and Shelli claim they were the last to know, but Vanessa says that is not true. Meg and James say that’s old news. Vanessa reiterates that she respects James’ choice between sending home Shelli vs. Steve. James tells her that she shouldn’t stress this week and Vanessa says she just wanted to crash their party. 12:56 AM BBT Shelli, Clay and Vanessa are in the Ocean BR talking about how Austin has not been talking to them. Vanessa defends Austin saying that he’s afraid. She was glad they kept her company in her punishment tasks, but she doesn’t think they are defending her game-wise. Shelli complains that Austin is very wishy-washy and never gives her information. James and Steve are talking on the BY couch. Steve is asking James what Shelli and Clay’s arguments were with respect to him. James tells him they said it was about not getting more blood on his hands. Steve says that James already has two people angry with him, so if he sends Steve home that he would still have two angry people in the house with him. James is asking Steve to reciprocate by keeping James safe if Steve has that opportunity. Steve is finding it challenging being in the house.

11:57 PM BBT In the BY, Shelli is crying because she is going home for something that she didn’t do. And she can’t even tell them the truth because it will blow things up and make a bigger target on her. If she was a dirty player, she would do that, but Clay tells her that they decided to play a certain way and that’s what they are doing. If it sends them home it’s okay. Shelli says she doesn’t want to be there. John is looking on silently.

12:07 AM BBT Shelli finishes her fifth round and there is another parade through the KT. Five hundred!! Shelli starts up again for her next hundred rounds. 12:10 AM BBT In the KT, James and Meg are talking about rabbits as pets as other HGs listen. 12:12 AM BBT Jackie and Vanessa go to the WA. Austin is showering. Jackie apologizes to Vanessa that she uses the WC a lot and Vanessa reassures her that she does too, so it’s fine. 12:18 AM BBT In the BY, Shelli is still looking forward to her pizza. Steve and John are watching. John comments that the podcast lost its focus. It was supposed to be spiritual and sexual healing but it became “Jeff asks questions and Austin plugs Irish Spring”. They chuckle. 12:20 AM BBT The group in the BY are talking about video games that they have played. 12:21 AM BBT Vanessa and Jackie go to the Ocean BR to figure out where to set up Vanessa’s bed on the floor. James comes into the room and comments that Johnny Mac is NOT in bed [John is in the BY] Vanessa tries out her bed on the floor and Jackie laughs saying she can’t watch her. Vanessa says “that’s done. Took all of four minutes, but isn’t that a cute little squire’s bed?” 12:26 AM BBT Austin and Meg are hanging out in the KT while Liz and Julia prepare slop. Steve looks on. James comes out of the DR, but says he has to go back in. 12:32 AM BBT John and Clay sit on loungers by the pool as Shelli continues her rounds. The counter says 585. They are talking about the HOH comp and how cold the rain was. Becky was talking about her strategy of thinking about a song during the rain to help her through the cold. That only worked the first time. 12:35 AM BBT Shelli completes 600 and is ringing the bell shouting “All is well in the Kingdom” She stops to have something to eat. She is feeling good because she is right on pace. She’s excited to take a break for this meal. She takes off her gloves and her shoes and settles on a couch in the BY to eat. 12:39 AM BBT In the BY, Vanessa tells Shelli she has a great attitude about her task and compares her to the girl who had to kick the soccer ball and got angry about it. Vanessa thinks Shelli’s attitude is impressive. Shelli wonders how far in before the girl got angry. Vanessa and Jackie joke about their own punishments. Jackie has to wear her costume for the whole week. Vanessa has twenty hours to go. 12:45 AM BBT. Jackie says “this is the good life.” She says she’s never been cleaned before. Vanessa shifts position to avoid muscle cramps as she continues to shine Jackie’s armor. 12:48 AM BBT Vanessa says that she’s getting sleepy. She tells Shelli about her cute little squire’s bed. They collapse in laughter at the thought of Jackie dangling her leg off the bed so that Vanessa can keep shining. Shelli says it’s SO absurd! Shelli checks the time so she can make sure she gets back at it in good time. They admire the full moon …or nearly full. Shelli feels like that was the best meal she’s eaten in the house because she was so hungry. 12:53 AM BBT Meg and Becky are soaking their feet in the HT. They are talking about Derrick and the “Hollaaa” challenge. Becky said that was hard for Derrick because he was trying so hard to blend in. Shelli tells them that she melted when Derrick first heard his daughter’s voice, because his daughter wasn’t talking yet when Derrick went into the house. 12:55 AM BBT Shelli is explaining to Steve where her slippers are. He is playing with the hula hoop while he gets instructions and then goes inside to retrieve her slippers for her. Shelli is stretching her neck and taking some deep breaths while Vanessa continues shining Jackie’s leg armor. Becky is talking about her plan to become rich and famous….selling spa-tatoes….they’re “spudtacular”. Steve comes back with Shelli’s slippers. Shelli says “Steve! Look at you taking good care of me!!” and thanks him. 12:58 AM BBT Steve says he slept on the floor in “prison” and Vanessa is dumbfounded that he would do that. BB warns not to talk about production.
