You’re so good to me.” 11:50 PM BBT In the BY Shelli says she is at 440 and everyone tells her how well she’s doing. She needs a FitBit to help track.

It sucks, but that’s the game we’re playing. We move on and play again next week. John tells James he handled it the best way he could. James feels like everyone has a fair shot to win now with the power couple split up. You don’t have to beat two of them all the time. He notes that Shelli is a comp beast and Clay is pretty decent. He didn’t want to waste his HOH. James points out that he has been straightforward with John and has never pressured him to vote a certain way and he’s kept him off the block and he hopes John will remember that when James needs his vote. John says he appreciates what James has done for him. John comments that he is glad that BotB is over. 11:57 PM BBT John notes that the BotB just invites a lot of pawns.

James is worried about Clay getting HOH because he knows Clay will come after him. 4:45 PM BBT In the HOHR, James tells Jackie about how the double eviction works and that you need to ask someone else to pack your stuff up because it happens so quickly. He has plans to put his stuff in one spot so that it will be easy for them to pack if he’s the one to go. Jackie tells him he’s not going anywhere and if they get through this week, he’ll be fine. James says that the worst thing that could happen next week is if Clay wins and puts James or Jackie up against a twin because Austin and the other twin will not vote to keep them.

It wasn’t his first choice, but he’s happy with it. James keeps sighing and saying “well” and the other HGs keep talking. Shelli says it will be nice that he doesn’t have to come up with noms right away because the BotB is gone. They note that this guarantees him being in jury. Steve is saying that will be true as long as things are the same as prior years. They congratulate James and applaud. Clay leaves saying he has to get food.

James says he made a promise, but he needs to do some investigating because Jason told him that Clay was asking Jason whether James could be trusted.

Meg thinks that Jackie would have been backdoored. 12:48 AM BBT James thinks that Shelli is someone who can switch off and on easily. He thinks Vanessa would flip on Clay and Shelli, but Meg disagrees. She thinks Vanessa is closer to Clay and Shelli. Meg trusts Liz and Austin more, and even more with Julia. James asks if you put Shelli up right away or do you backdoor her? Meg suggests putting up Austin and either Vanessa or Steve. Meg would put up Steve. James says that he is definitely putting up Steve because he fell off first. PoV would be used on Steve so that Shelli could go up. Meg thinks that Liz and Julia would keep Austin over Shelli. James feels that he can easily go back on his promise if he finds something that Clay and Shelli have done to justify it. 12:52 AM BBT Becky points out that Vanessa Clay and Shelli are great competitors so they are likely to win PoV and freeze the nominations. Meg suggests putting up Liz and Steve and tell them that Austin is the backdoor. That would be consistent with last week’s plan. Jackie is disgusted that they were betrayed. Meg is angry with Shelli because she didn’t feel she got any answers about what happened last week. They discuss reasons they believe that Clay and Shelli are running everything. 12:54 AM BBT James thought it was telling that Shelli was so anxious to make deals with him at the end of the HOH comp. They were theoretically working together, so why wasn’t she happy for him to win it and feeling safe? 12:55 AM BBT Meg asks who else James would go after. She repeats her desire to work with Liz and Austin and especially Julia. Meg sees Julia as floating, but others point out that she’ll do what Liz wants.

James thinks Vanessa is the key to finding out what happened last week. Meg tells them that Vanessa is trying hard to sell herself as a solo. Vanessa claims that she is playing the “third wheel” game. Meg doesn’t think Vanessa has extreme loyalties to anyone. Becky talks about how Vanessa made the same jury deal with three different people early on. 12:59 AM BBT Meg wouldn’t go after Vanessa at all. She thinks Vanessa is just terrified when she is HOH. She flip flops easily because she listens to everyone. Becky suggests that Vanessa flip flopped toward Austin and that’s why it ended up being Jason. James asks Meg what Clay approached her and Jason about and Meg tells him that they were talking about a final four deal. James points out that the final four deal didn’t include him and Meg says he can’t use that because it would throw her under the bus. James says that it shows that Clay and Shelli were trying to ask him even though he used to be close to them.

10:31 PM BBT Liz tells Julia that Austin denied that he was trying to separate the twins. Julia intensely leans in to Liz that Austin LIED… he told Jason her name was Julia.

It’s a commitment to existence.” Liz: “I wonder when humans first realized that they needed water to survive” Austin: “Probably immediately when they were thirsty…” They agree that it’s natural instinct, and Austin poses more questions “Why is the sky blue?

Steve is working out on the LR floor and muttering to himself. 12:06 AM BBT Austin comes in and sits down with James at the DT while Meg heckles James to give them a “cockadoodledoooo” James is not doing it and Meg tells him he’s no fun. Conversation turns to “Lambchop.” We get FotH. 12:12 AM BBT Lots of chatter among the HGs in the KT as they make snacks. They are eating cookies and ice cream.

Someone comments on how much ice cream Shelli has and she explains that she is more of a sweets person and not into savoury treats so much. 12:25 AM BBT In the WA, Steve is having a shower. John is flossing while Liz brushes her teeth. 12:27 AM BBT In the KT, Jason is talking about movies on flights. Meg tells the group that she doesn’t usually go to the theatre because she likes to talk. She has to be in a specific mood to go to the theatre. Meg says she cried over “Still Alice”…she saw it on the plane ride there and she was a mess watching it.

11:07 PM BBT James, John, and Becky sitting at the beam counter in the KT and talking about the competitions. They have not had physical comps, and that’s evident in the number of women HOH winners. Becky complains about being called a comp beast because she looks fit, even though Vanessa and Shelli have won a lot more than she has. 11:47 PM BBT Becky and John are in the CBR. Becky complaining again to John about how everyone is telling her she is so great at comps. She’s so frustrated that she keeps getting that message when she isn’t winning that much. She wants people to stop saying that because that’s what got her on the block. She is aggravated just because smartness does not show physically so no one else gets labelled. John comments that Vanessa has put a target on her back by winning as much as she has. John tries to encourage her and Becky says she is going to take a nap. John leaves. 11:51 PM BBT Vanessa is frustrated thinking about the lack of privacy. She just wants to be “alone with her acne.” She has been feeling like a mess….she’s had so little sleep.

12:00 AM BBT Jackie talking to Austin in the HOHR. Austin says he will keep open communication. He doesn’t think they have been lying to each other and he plans to continue not lying to her. She tells him she appreciates that he didn’t put her up when he was HOH. They part ways. Steve comes to HOHR to talk to Jackie. “It’s midnight”…but Jackie has gone into the 2nd HOHR and isn’t available. 12:01 AM BBT Jackie comes into the 2nd HOHR and de-briefs Shelli and Vanessa on his conversation with Austin while Clay steps out to use the HOH WA. Jackie tells them that Austin seems neutral about Jackie nominating Liz. Clay comes back into the room and Vanessa tells Jackie that asking John to throw the BotB again is risky because John may be ticked off and also everyone will know what’s up. Vanessa suggests asking Meg to do it but Jackie is doubtful. 12:13 AM BBT Meg, James and Jason talking in the OBR. Meg says that James thinks Vanessa will put up Meg. They think that would be stupid because they are just starting to have a relationship. In the WA, Austin is telling Liz (Julia) that she needs to make a deal with Jackie. He tells her that she will be nominated but she isn’t Jackie’s target [before he left his conversation with Jackie, Jackie directly asked him if he was going to tell Liz and he said no.] 12:17 AM BBT Shelli and Clay are laying on the HOHR bed while Jackie and Vanessa are sitting on the floor. Vanessa says that it’s better if Austin goes before the twins, because then there are 2 more targets that would go ahead of them. They are discussing the final 8 that they want: Jason, Meg, James, Becky, and the four in the room. Shelli says “so John is on the outside?” They say “poor guy” but Vanessa points out that you can have everyone on the inside, and they think John would do what they want even if he wins the HOH. Plus, they can’t let him in because of his connection with Steve. 12:21 AM BBT Vanessa coaches Jackie on what to say to Steve. Shelli adds her suggestion on how to handle questions from others. Vanessa is excited to work with Meg, James, and Jason. 12:24 AM BBT Austin telling Liz what he’s been saying to others and Liz is trying to get a handle on how she is supposed to approach things. Austin coaches her to make sure that she tells others that she thinks Steve is the one who voted to keep Audrey, and he plans to do the same. Liz rehearses telling Jackie that she knows she put Jackie up, but she was not her target…she was purely a pawn. 12:26 AM BBT Steve comes into the HOHR and talks to both Vanessa and Jackie. They tell him that he is not going up on the block. Jackie leaves so that Steve can talk with Vanessa. Steve asks Vanessa if they are still working together. Steve seems really upset and she reassures him. She says she will tell him later in the week because there is stuff he needs to know but she wants to wait so that he isn’t put in any awkward situations with conversations during the week. Liz (Julia) comes into HOHR. Liz wants to talk to Vanessa before she talks to Jackie. Vanessa tells her that the first words out of Jackie’s mouth were that she would put Liz up. Liz (Julia) tells Vanessa what Austin’s advice was but she feels uncomfortable with trusting Jackie with twin info. She asks Vanessa’s advice. Vanessa tells her that she has information that she needs to know, but she doesn’t want to break anyone’s trust so she can’t tell her right now.

11:15 PM BBT Meg and Jason talking in the OBR. Meg is concerned about how honest Clay has been, and mentions how she’s noticed Shelli pulling Vanessa aside. 11:18 PM BBT In the HOHR, Vanessa tells Shelli and Clay that she no longer trusts Austin because he lied to her, but she’s worried because he knows everything. Jackie’s two targets are Liz and Steve. Vanessa wants to approach Jason, Meg, and Jackie and tell them they know about the twins. She thinks they should keep the twins. Jackie wants to put Liz on the block because Liz nominated her, plus someone who will throw the BotB. Steve is Jackie’s backup target. 11:43 PM BBT Shelli asks Vanessa what Jackie said about Shelli and Clay. Vanessa tells them that Jackie says Shelli and Clay are the ones she trusts most in the house. Clay asks “what if you put up me and Austin” and Vanessa says she can do it, but then there is no backdoor option. Vanessa is considering putting up Clay with Becky, but if she doesn’t get de-throned, then both Clay and Becky are up and there is only one PoV so one of them would be at risk. Shelli, Clay and Vanessa keep discussing pros and cons of various alternatives.

12:01 PM BBT Vanessa and Austin in the WA doing ADLs and talking about contact lenses. Austin says he’d like to make a truce with Meg, James, and Jason. He plans to talk to Jason today because Jason said something he connected with about being a super fan. Austin heard from Steve that Jason can tell the twins apart, and he wants to counteract that. 12:09 PM BBT Jason and Becky talking about the twins and saying that it’s obvious. They begin talking about Steve. Jason has told Steve that if he is everywhere, people think he is just gathering information. Becky points out that Steve mostly listens but he doesn’t talk about things so people don’t know where he stands. They think Steve is playing defensively and just trading information. 12:09 PM BBT Steve and James are lounging in the Comic Book Room. Shelli and Vanessa are in the WA talking about Audrey and thinking they won’t see her again this week. Shelli is brushing her hair and talking about what she should put in her HOH blog. Vanessa says she said what she was thinking about the house. Shelli is worried about giving out spoilers so she made her first blog very vague. Vanessa asked when she did hers and was told not to worry about spoilers because of the live feeds. 12:16 PM BBT Shelli is going around the house taking pictures with her HOH camera. Shelli does a selfie with Austin …she is standing in front of Austin so the picture shows how much taller he is. Shelli heads out to the BY to take more pictures. 12:21 PM BBT Clay is in the Hot Tub in the BY, chatting with Meg who is sitting by the HT. Meg thinks will be an easy target because he isn’t really with anyone. Clay asks about Jackie and Meg says Jackie is fine…she would be targeting Austin/Vanessa/Liz. Meg says that if she won HOH, she would put up Steve and Austin. Austin because he put her up and she has a speech she wants to give. She wouldn’t backdoor anyone. 12:25 PM BBT Shelli is still taking pictures. Jason and Steve are still chilling in the Comic Book Room. Steve is trying to figure out where he stands with people in the house. James just hopes he doesn’t get nominated. Steve figures John will probably go up. Steve has a zero percent chance of eviction, but a 90 percent chance of nomination. They start counting how many times each person has been nominated. 12:27 PM BBT Steve lists off those who have not yet been nominated…Shelli, Clay, Liz, Vanessa, Austin… just as they say his name, Austin walks in. He’s been in the HNR to get some shoes, but he took three people with him. Audrey was sleeping. Austin thinks they are just giving her meds to get her through until Thursday. James and Steve point out that Jocasta missed a ceremony because she was sick. They put a bow tie on the seat to represent Jocasta. Austin says they could put Audrey’s hat in her chair. Austin leaves and James goes back to the list of unnominated HGs and asks if Steve would target any of them. Steve says it’s possible, but he isn’t sure he wants to start talking about targets yet. 12:36 PM BBT Clay comes into the Comic Book Room to change. Steve leaves and James tells Clay that Steve is interested in people who haven’t been nominated. James tells Clay that he was trying to get targets out of Steve and that Steve replied with a list of people who haven’t been nominated [not quite how the conversation went…Steve mentioned who hadn’t been nominated and James is the one who brought up the question of targets and that it would be fair for people who haven’t been nominated to take a turn]. 12:40 PM BBT Clay says that he understands that not having been nominated is something that could make them a target. James tells Clay that he isn’t targeting them. James thinks that James, Jason, Meg, Shelli and Clay would be a good group and they can work together. Clay tells James that he seems kind of skeptical the last few days with Audrey. James says he has no doubts about Shelli and Clay. Clay encourages James to come to him with any concerns. 12:49 PM BBT Austin, Vanessa and John are putting up awnings in the BY. Austin begins working out. Several HGs are in the KT. Meg, Jason, Liz, Jackie, and Becky are talking about clothing. 12:56 PM BBT Vanessa is working out on the elliptical trainer in the BY. Most of the HGs are in the KT area.

They apologize to Audrey saying they are just going to take a picture and don’t worry, you won’t be in it. Audrey pulls the blanket over her head. 12:58 PM BBT Shelly, Jackie, and Becky are the last to leave and they turn the lights out as they go out. Audrey remains covered up for a bit and then sighs and pulls the blanket down from her head. She is wearing sunglasses and a hood, so she is still almost completely covered. 1:01 PM BBT More pictures in the Ocean BR. Meg taking one of Shelli, Clay, Austin and Liz. Vanessa and Jason are looking on saying how cute it looks. Shelli asks Vanessa to take a pic of all of them. Meg and Jason find a spot in the picture. Austin and Clay are holding hands. Vanessa says it’s a cute picture and hands the camera back. 1:04 PM BBT Shelli and Clay are going through all the pictures they have taken and picking favourites. Clay is thinking about in future when they will be looking at these pictures. They take a selfie and it’s so bad that Clay says “delete that immediately!!” 1:06 PM BBT In the BY, Vanessa is laying out in the sun while Austin works out. Jason is jealous of Vanessa because he can’t lay out in the sun in the clothes that he has to wear for Whack Street Boys performances. 1:10 PM BBT In the KT, Liz is doing dishes while Steve mills around. John and Meg are sitting at the counter and drumming. Becky comes through on her way out to the BY. Steve tries to join in the drumming and they stop. 1:14 PM BBT On the BY couches, Becky tells Jason about a dream she had when she and Shelli were both HOH.

Jason shares a dream that he had too, where Jackie was Susan Sarandon. 1:17 PM BBT In the KT, Meg and Jackie are talking about slop. Jackie is measuring it into a cup. Becky walks through and they talk about frying some slop. 1:19 PM BBT Jason and Clay are on the BY couches. Jason tells Clay that he calls Julie something different each week in the DR. Jason says he keeps forgetting who he is supposed to nominate. Clay agrees that he has to keep saying the name in his head before he votes so he doesn’t say the wrong name. 1:21 PM BBT In the KT area, Jackie says that making slop takes so long. John agrees that it’s like watching water boil. Meg comments that slop is annoying to have to eat, and also to make. Jackie says that’s why she makes a big batch. John says “everything is annoying to Meg… all food is annoying.” 1:26 PM BBT Liz is still doing dishes in the KT, while Jackie makes slop. Shelli is slicing something and then looking in the fridge. Out in the BY, Jason is hanging out in the pool and talking to Steve who is standing at the side of the pool holding a beach ball. Becky is laying at the side of the pool and soaking in the sun. They are talking about the pool and how small it is. 1:28 PM BBT Steve starts to come into the pool. Jason accidentally calls Steve “Ian” and then laughs. Steve claims to be offended. They make comparisons to Ian. Steve tells a story about seeing Ian’s picture and admits that they do look somewhat alike. 1:33 PM BBT By the pool, Jason and Becky are talking about vehicles, and the kind of vehicles you need for snowy weather. Jason says “a sedan in the snow is no go.” 1:35 PM BBT Jason gets out of the pool and stretches out on the ground near the pool’s edge. Becky is commenting on Clay who was doing a move called a “scorpion”…she asks Clay to do it again so Steve and Jason can see. Becky thinks it looks cool because Clay is so flexible. 1:37 PM BBT Shelli and Jackie are eating in the KT. Jackie is saying the slop is better after it sits in the refrigerator. She’s philosophical about slop being like being on a diet. It’s harder with all the food around. James ate an omelette, and the smell of it made it harder to be on slop. Shelli asks if anyone James brought it in for Audrey. Jackie says yes. Jackie says “she’s had pizza and omelette, so if I’m surviving, so is she.” Jackie thinks Audrey should be able to come out and get her own food. They have talked to her to ask if she needs anything, and she thanks them but says she’s fine. 1:42 PM BBT The Whack Street Boys get set to perform in the BY, we get Fish 1:45 PM BBT John and Jason are lounging on the BY couches in their white outfits. Austin and Clay are working out. Shelli and Jackie are still in the KT. 1:51 PM BBT Jason says it figures that they called for a Whack Street Boys performance while he was sunning by the pool.

Shelli says she is enjoying the view. 1:53 PM BBT Shelli, John and Jason are on the BY couches. Shelli says she hashtagged “Liztin” and Jason tells her that they have re-named what they are calling twins. Jason says there was mention of an “Angela” in Liz’s HOH letter who could be the twin, so that's what they are calling her now. John points out that they could have an older sister with that name. Jason tells Shelli that Meg walked in on Austin telling “Angela” about his date with Liz. He was telling one twin about the other twin, so obviously he knows. Shelli asks where it happened (CBR) and if he stopped when Meg walked in. Jason said Austin didn’t stop talking. Shelli is shocked. Jason says you can tell he’s helping them out. John says that maybe Austin just figures everyone knows anyway. Jason says that they know but are speculating, but he thinks they have told Austin.

They go on to talk about arthritis. 11:21 PM BBT Clay is helping Steve with his workout, and giving him feedback on how he does his push-ups. Steve asks Clay if he is in reasonable shape and whether he is in a healthy range. 11:26 PM BBT Jason is trying to use the foam roller on the LR floor. Becky is directing him. In the BY, Liz is swinging on the hammock, and John is lounging on the couch while Clay spots Steve on the bench press. John’s pager goes off, so it’s time for a Whack Street Boys performance in the Living Room! 11:31 PM BBT The Whack Street Boys (Liz, John, Jason) have acquired backup dancers (Clay, Meg, and Steve).

Becky said it was so intense, and that it was like watching a sporting event. It was exciting that the underdogs won.

10:49 PM BBT Austin and Jackie are in the Ocean BR trying to think of a 90’s movie to act out for their charade. They can’t think of anything that isn’t too easy to get, and then they decide on “Mighty Joe Young.” He is getting “strong” and “Tarzan” when he tries to act out “Mighty.” He thinks they’ll get it from the one word, but has to keep going to the second word. He tries for the rhyme with “toe” and then tells them to go through the alphabet. They finally get it. Liz and Austin are next. 10:55 PM BBT Still playing charades, Liz and Austin decide that Liz will do “Little Rascals” She puts her hair in a little pony tail like the Alfalfa character and they get it immediately. Liz coaches Clay for his charade. He does “Big Daddy.” John is up next. 10:59 PM BBT John does “Pet Detective” and Shelli gets it. John has two suggestions. Shelli picks “American Pie.” Clay gets it, so he’s next. He chooses an 8-word title “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days”. Liz is up next… she chooses “Troy” but has trouble getting it across. She has only one idea on how to act it out. Austin finally gets it. 11:12 PM BBT Meg helping Steve choose a movie to act out for the Charades game. It’s challenging to find a movie that he knows. Meg is running out of ideas. Meg suggests “Cone Heads” and Steve agrees. He does a good job and Vanessa gets it. Steve gives Vanessa one option “The Holy Grail.” Vanessa is wearing shades. 11:18 PM BBT Meg does “Urban Legend” and is shocked when Vanessa actually guesses it. She can’t believe Vanessa pulled that out of what she acted out. Meg can’t think of anything, so Vanessa suggests “Vanilla Sky” Vanessa doesn’t even get to finish acting it out when Austin guesses it. Vanessa tries to think of one that Steve might have a chance of guessing...he mostly watches Disney movies. They decide on “The Games of New York.” Vanessa thinks this one will be hard, but it only takes a few minutes and Shelli gets it. 11:29 PM BBT Shelli and Jason are trying to pick a movie for charades and they pause to whisper. Jason notices that James is not there… must be in DR. That thought leads to a serious moment where Shelli confides that she thinks Audrey is talking to a psychiatrist and wanting to leave. That’s why Audrey has been in there for so long… they are trying to convince her not to leave. 11:30 PM BBT Last round of charades… Meg does “Back to the Future” Shelli gets it right away… Meg is shocked and then Jason owns up that he just told Shelli what it was. 11:31 PM BBT Austin says all the lights are out in the HNR…it’s weird and he doesn’t want to look anymore into it.

Shelli feels bad to put up Audrey while she is a Have-Not but Clay says “who cares?” Jason reminds Shelli that Have-Nots this week volunteered. He thinks that next time Have-Nots will be determined by who drops off first during an endurance comp. The meeting breaks up and Shelli goes to have a shower in the HOH WA while Clay and Jason join Austin, Steve and John in the KT where there is chatter about the white outfits they have to wear. Liz (Julia) has taken hers off and is sleeping in her PJs. 1:00 AM BBT – 2:00 AM BBT Vanessa and Austin meet up in the WA. Vanessa tells Austin that she is a good deal-maker. Vanessa running ideas for deals with Austin. They plan to work separately a bit and make deals with others independently so that it doesn’t seem like they are working as closely together [is this strategy, or is Vanessa distancing herself from Austin after hearing Shelli's and Jackie's reservations about him? -app]. Steve is sitting in the photo booth and notices the camera following him. He talks to the camera and apologizes to the cameraman “I’m so sorry that your job is to follow me around with a camera at 1 in the morning” and then goes to do dishes in the KT. Jason and Vanessa chat in a darkened Ocean BR as they settle in to sleep, but James and Meg wake up and start talking with Jason. Others join and lights go on. Audrey and Jackie talk about whether the Veto will be used. Jackie says John is worried for the first time, but points out that no one can win every time, so they need to stop putting him up as a pawn. Jackie and Audrey both say they would not put John up. Steve joins the conversation and contributes strategy observations from other BB shows. Steve’s statement “there are no secrets because there AREN’T secrets” is met with awkward silence.

12:00 AM BBT Jason, Clay and Shelli in the HOHR are still talking about Audrey; how she tries to talk about millions of iterations, how she is always bringing up dreams. 12:02 AM BBT Steve and John are in the KT still, now talking about classes they took. Feeds cut to Liz(Julia) and Austin in the Comic Book Room. Austin tells Liz(Julia) that James is kind of floating, and isn’t so connected to Meg and Jason anymore.

If they were going to stop and wait til morning, Jason thinks that BB would have already done that. Shelli thinks they will get the photo booth again tomorrow because they get that every other Sunday. 12:20 AM BBT Austin is working out in the LR. Steve is at the KT counter, and John is sitting at the Dining Table. Shelli, Clay and Jason chit-chatting in the HOHR about production. BB reminds them that they aren’t allowed.

He’ll have to wait until next year to watch the show. When they get out of the house, they are thinking they will binge-watch all the episodes. And no matter what happens, it will be like a family reunion at the end. 12:25 AM BBT Jason, Shelli, and Clay are talking about how loud they talk in the DR. Jason starts to talk about who is the DR “sleeper” and we get FotH. When feeds come back, Jason is still talking and Shelli is saying “stop, stop”…she doesn’t want to be in trouble. BB says “thank you” and they laugh.

10:30 PM BBT Shelli, Clay and Vanessa in the HOHR talking about Austin. Shirley questioning Austin’s loyalty because he warned Jackie about Liz possibly nominating her. Shelli advises Vanessa to approach Jackie. They find Jackie very tight-lipped, and vague in her communication. 10:45 PM BBT Shelli, Clay, Austin and Vanessa are talking in the HOHR. Vanessa asks Shelli if she has Shelli’s permission to use the veto. Shelli says yes. Even if they decide they are no longer protecting Audrey, Shelli thinks there are bigger targets than Jason and John and she doesn’t really want to send Jason home. 11:00 PM BBT The group in the HOHR are talking about Jason’s game and whether or not he would throw HOH next week. Austin points out that Audrey’s main contribution has been that she was throwing HOH each week and that was one less person to compete against, but she was supposed to help in HOH, so that’s been a waste. She’s not voting with them, she’s not winning HOH…what is she doing?

She went from a flat stomach that she was proud of to having a muffin top. She says it started when she was a Have-Not.

James gives her an out saying it’s hard when you don’t have access to the BY, but Vanessa points out that Austin works out anyway. 12:16 AM BBT Feeds go out for a bit again, and we come back to James setting up one of the beds in the HOHR as if someone is in the bed. Shelli comes in and asks if “she” is sleeping (pointing to the made-up bed), and they laugh. 12:17 AM BBT Audrey is talking to Clay in the HOHR. They’re discussing the HOH competition. Clay was trying too hard…he was trying to memorize more minute details and then didn’t pay attention to basics like how many dancers there were. Becky joins Vanessa, James, and Shelli in the Ocean BR. They think Audrey will think it’s cute that they made up the bed to look like she is sleeping in it. 12:21 AM BBT Audrey telling Clay that she is tired of having to prove herself. Audrey asks if they trust her, and Clay reassures her [even though they don’t trust her because they think she could be America’s player]. Clay is understanding, saying that it’s natural to get paranoid in the house. 12:23 AM BBT Audrey tells Clay that she thinks she has gained John’s trust because she gave him a heads-up about Jeff and he didn’t believe it, but then it proved out. Clay talks about the people he is worried about…a group that would have 7 votes. Audrey thinks that if Steve feels like he is a target he will spill a lot of information.

Clay points out that he missed the first question too, and he wasn’t trying to throw it. 12:28 AM BBT Audrey says that Jason is her number 1 target. Audrey suggests putting up Jason and Meg on one side and Becky and Steve on the other. Clay suggests putting up Jason with Johnny Mack and asking John to throw the BotB again. Clay thinks it’s pointless to put up Meg. 12:32 AM BBT Jason joins James, Vanessa, and Shelli in the Ocean BR and lays next to the fake Audrey. Steve comes in and asks if that’s Audrey. Steve points out that they put her in the wrong place because that’s not the bed that she normally sleeps in. Audrey finally comes in.

Shelli doesn’t understand why Jeff broke up the alliance they had with Shelli/Clay, Jeff/Jackie, and John. Shelli felt that Jeff was not protecting 3 of the 5 people in their alliance. He was targeting the “power couple”[shelli and Clay] and telling everyone that he and Jackie were not that close and making her seem expendable. Jackie explains that she was frustrated with him and the fact that he wouldn’t talk to her at all. 12:50 PM BBT Clay and James in the WA brushing and flossing and talking about who has been HOH so far. Clay is tired of all the speculation. Clay asks James if Audrey was talking game to James when Clay walked in.

He told her that he sometimes plays things up for the show. Shelli thinks that makes a lot of sense, and that she thinks that Austin is flippant with information. Sometimes Austin doesn’t really know what he’s saying, and he generally just passes on whatever he hears. Austin told Jackie that he was trying to protect Jackie from being backdoored. Shelli tells Jackie that Austin made that up. When Jackie checked with Vanessa, Vanessa told her that Jackie’s name never came up. Austin just came to her again that Liz was thinking of putting her up. Shelli advises Jackie to talk more game because people say they don’t know where she stands. 1:00 AM BBT Shelli is telling Jackie that she changes the subject when Audrey starts talking game because Audrey comes up with a lot of disconnected theories that confuse Shelli. Shelli reiterates that Jackie and Becky both should try to sprinkle a bit of game. Jackie notes that it seems like no one really wants to get rid of Audrey. Shelli says that she hasn’t had a chance to talk to Liz so she isn’t sure how that will play out. She knows she doesn’t want to have to calm Audrey’s paranoia all the time. Shelli tells Jackie that she has no idea who she is going to target. Shelli asks Jackie if she knows where Becky stands. Jackie says that she and Becky are not working together. They don’t talk game. 1:06 AM BBT Jackie tells Shelli that she wouldn’t blame Liz if Liz put her (Jackie) up because they haven’t talked game at all. They talk about Liz not talking game at all, and about her being a twin, and Shelli says she doesn’t know what it would mean even if that were true. Shelli is wondering what the twist is going to be. 1:09 AM BBT Jackie says everything feels weird to her right now with Jeff gone. Shelli tells her that she feels for Jackie isn’t planning to put her through being on the block and she doesn’t plan to backdoor her, but she doesn’t know what Liz is going to do because she hasn’t had a chance to talk to her and doesn’t even know where she is. Jackie says that Liz in in the DR. Jackie is still weirded out by Austin. 1:11 AM BBT James and John are in the WA. James asks John if he has talked to Shelli and Clay yet. John says no, and James lets him know that John is safe on Shelli’s side of HOH. Liz is out of the DR, talking to Austin in HOHR. 1:16 AM BBT Liz talking to Jackie in the her HOHR. Becky goes through to Shelli’s “office”. Jackie telling Liz about how weird it is without Jeff and also how difficult it was trying to play the game with Jeff there. Liz says it’s worked in her favour that she didn’t talk so much like Jeff did. Jackie feels like she couldn’t have Jeff’s back because he didn’t even know what he was up to. 1:18 AM BBT Becky is telling Shelli how shocked she is when she hears about where people think she is aligned. People have a lot of random theories about Becky. Shelli tells Becky she is concerned about whether all those theories are coming from Audrey. Becky wonders how much of the theories about her came from Da’Vonne. A lot of it stopped when Da’Vonne left. Da’Vonne was Shelli’s target long before the house got upset with Audrey, and Audrey had given her a lot of information that saved her. Becky is trying to make an effort to stop avoiding Audrey. Becky wants to work with Clay and Shelli and since they trust Audrey, Becky is trying to be more open to the idea of Audrey being someone to work with. Shelli tells Becky the same thing she told Jackie about not knowing the plan with respect to Audrey. 1:23 AM BBT Jackie tells Liz that her game is basically to try and get along with everyone. She tells Liz that she is cool with Austin [even though she told Shelli that Austin is a concern for her]. Liz tells Jackie that she doesn’t know what to do. Jackie asks Liz to please let her know if she is planning to put her up and lets Liz know that Austin warned her she might be going up as a pawn. Liz tells her that there are bigger fish to fry, and tells Jackie that she will let her know. 1:28 AM BBT Becky and Shelli talking about Liz and the twin twist, and Jeff’s behaviour around Liz. Becky notes that it’s pure speculation, but she thinks Liz may have been one of the votes against James. Becky’s speculation is based on the belief that Jeff had gotten direct confirmation of the twin twist and that he was in a position to help Liz with the twist. 1:36 AM BBT Becky asks Shelli if she is on Shelli’s block this week and Shelli gives an emphatic no and tells Becky she needs help figuring it out! Becky thinks Steve is more likely to be America’s player than Audrey is. Becky thinks that Steve threw the HOH comp, and she doesn’t know who Steve is working with. 1:40 AM BBT Jackie leaves the HOHR and Meg comes up to talk to Liz. Meg feels like she has nothing to say to Liz. They talk about the fourth vote (they were expecting one weird vote, but not two), but don’t have any theories of who it was. Meg tells Liz she has her support. Liz tells Meg she loves her and enjoys laughing with her. Liz tells Meg that she isn’t planning to put her up. 1:45 AM BBT Becky and Shelli walk through Meg and Liz’s meeting and leave the HOHR. 1:46 AM BBT Liz asks Meg who she thinks is a threat to her game. Meg just says she feels thrown off and doesn’t know. Shelli and Vanessa barge through looking for Vanessa’s face wipes. Vanessa and Shelli go into Shelli’s HOHR. Meg tells Liz that she thinks this week is a blank page. Liz says that Audrey is someone who would have to be backdoored, and Audrey is not someone that Liz is afraid of. 1:48 AM BBT Shelli is telling Vanessa that she is only going to half-listen to Austin. She tells Vanessa that Liz is thinking of putting Jackie up, but Shelli likes Jackie and has a good rapport with her. Vanessa tries to explain where Austin is coming from, and ends up admitting that maybe Austin is just not really good at the game. Shelli shares what Jackie said about Austin being worried about performing. Vanessa tries to defend Austin’s intentions because Shelli wants Austin to clear things with them before he does them. 1:56 AM BBT Shelli tells Vanessa about Becky’s theory that Liz might be the fourth vote, and about Becky’s observation that a lot of the rumours about her stopped after Da’Vonne left. Becky and Liz are talking in the other HOHR about the HOH competition and about the bagel pizza pockets that Becky made. Liz asks how Becky’s convo with Shelli went, and Becky says it went well. Liz tells Becky that she appreciates that Becky didn’t put her up when Becky was HOH. Clay comes in looking for Shelli.

10:58 PM BBT Audrey and James talking in the Ocean BR about what got Jeff chopped. Audrey points out that Jeff was good if he was able to get four people to vote for him. Audrey wonders if Jackie thinks Audrey is responsible for Jeff leaving. James says that Jackie doesn’t say much. They note that Jeff and Jackie were clearly much closer than they let on based on their good-bye as Jeff was leaving. 11:10 PM BBT Clay telling Shelli, Austin and Liz in HOHR that Audrey and James were chatting in the Ocean BR with the lights out. Austin says she [Audrey] just can’t stop making her plays. They are still trying to figure out the votes, and someone has suggested that Steve is America’s player and was responsible for one of the four votes to keep Jeff. 11:13 PM BBT The group in HOHR are talking about who is clearly on the other side (Meg, Jason, James) and who is up in the air (Becky, Steve, Johnny Mack). Liz is talking about putting up Jackie and someone else. 11:18 PM BBT The group in the HOHR are convinced that Becky just “showed her hand” … that Jeff convinced her at the last minute to vote for him.

Audrey talking about a dream she had that had her dad, a friend of hers and Haydn from BB16. They start talking about BB16 players. 11:24 PM BBT Shelli, Clay and Austin giving Liz advice on being HOH. She should take in information only without giving any information. Don’t throw out other people’s names so that it doesn’t start anyone worrying. Shelli recommends asking “who do you see as a threat in this game?” 11:26 PM BBT Clay suggests that Audrey should be a secondary target. She could always be backdoored if the PoV doesn’t go as planned. Austin believes that James threw the HOH competition. Liz is thinking she will target people who have never talked game with her. Clay advises Liz to tell Jackie she is a pawn so that if she wins BotB that Jackie won’t feel she was targeted. Clay suggests that Jason is the one that holds things together on that side. They consider different possibilities, and it all still depends on who Shelli puts up. 11:32 PM BBT Liz still doesn’t want to put Audrey on the block because Audrey plays so hard, and if she gets put up early, there will be more time for her to talk to people. 11:38 PM BBT Vanessa in the HOHR with Clay and Shelli, Liz and Austin. She suggests they should be figuring things out as the “Sixth Sense” alliance. Vanessa points out that the vote tonight shows how hard it is to control the votes, so make sure you put up people you are okay with going home. They ask Vanessa who she thinks the votes were from. She talks through who she thinks it can’t be and concludes that it has to be Steve or Audrey. 11:44 PM BBT Vanessa thinks it would be foolish to assume that Becky and Jackie are not working together because they spend so much time together.
