Morning all. Happy eviction day.

**TTOTambz2** · 08-27-2015, 05:33 AM

Good Morning Geo & All Who Follow:

I'm feeling for NoNo, it sucks to lose the people you become attached to. I'm curious if the house sticks with evicting JMac if he'll pull out a classic exit speech & call out the entire SS & then yell out to whoever returns "TAKE DOWN THE TRIPLETS & DON'T BELIEVE ANY DEALS THEY LIE!"

Eviction Day Notes:

*I find it odd Vanessa hasn't called out the triplets for having deals with everyone when THAT was why they were mad at her and much of the reason she became a target!

*Vanessa's constant desire to take out/target/set-up James/Meg confuses me b/c she's just learned her entire alliance has been plotting against her for over a week (almost 2). Doesn’t she get targeting the Goblins could leak to them & she needs them to break up the Triptwits.

*Ditto to the above for Steve, he knows he was expendable (and can easily learn from the Goblins his staying wasn't an automatic) plus he has to know Vanessa will never trust him again. Yet he's had zero talks with the Goblins

* Also very odd is how easily the Austwits appear to have fallen back in with Vanessa. While I know the twits will flip just as easily it still doesn't make sense. Surely they know Vanessa is better than them in every facet of the game other than social fun. Why would they want to take her & brainiac Steve to F5. I'd say they were just playing her, but they aren’t sharing intel as freely with the Goblins. Surely James & Meg see this shift, so the only positive thing coming out of it is gives them a reason to target the Twits..

*Meg has become the designated grim reaper who'll deliver the news to JMac. BUT …Vanessa wanting to garner his jury vote tells him she can’t swing the votes b/c he’s too close to the jury.

* Interestingly, when Steve asked to tell JMac, Liz was adamant they wait. What will Liz (twits) do if they discover Vanessa already told him

* Vanessa has painted herself into a bit of a corner b/c she’s implied to JMac that James wants to keep him, so he told her she’ll be doomed if she doesn’t make the jump now. Perhaps the DR can give him a Vanessa for Dummies book ... then he can lay out skittles for her to see what is very likely to happen.

* To wit JMac needs to pull out all the stops and tell her none of the returning players will work with her & she’ll likely be targeted over the triptwits unless she keeps him to pull in the returnee & align with Goblins.

*Austin did the Goblins dirty telling Steve they want him out (not true) so he'll target them (Vanessa's idea) And yet another reason why I want the Goblins to go all the way as the ONLY "reason" the Austwits are loyal is b/c 2 are related & 2 are having relations!

* How is it logical to JMac that Vanessa wants him to stay? All she/he has to do is talk to the Goblins, but she keeps reiterating I'm voting with the twits which only reinforces she is tight with them! To hear Vanessa tell both JMac & Steve she is alone makes me want to replicate JMac's gagging motion. Come on, you've spent the entire week either complaining about the shaft, up in the HOHR talking strategy, trying to get the Goblins ousted and aligning the nominees either via bullying or false advertising to get their jury vote AND studying dates with Steve.

* JMac appears to either be on to Vanessa (just making nice for jury vote) or is putting her in a corner by coming straight out & asking her if she'll vote for him if he can flip the Goblins. She reluctantly said yes BUT that she wants to vote with the twits.

*Maybe I'm crazy, but why are the Vaustwits so certain they can pull Shelli right back in? Apparently on eviction day she had a tiff with Austin & in exit interviews she said she'd target Vanessa. With Becky/Jackie downloading to her won't they all see the Triptwits are the priority target?

* Doubt Liz wants to win HOH, putting extreme pressure on Julia and while I can envision Steve not wanting to win (due to anticipated DE next week) he concerns me a b/c this week was like his "Scared Straight" audition. I worry he'll go after James stupidly instead of breaking up the Triptwits. Ditto for Vanessa.

My only hope is a returnee or a Goblin win & finally the viewers get what we are THIRSTING for. To that end, how funny will it be if tonight audience ROARS for JMac and then boo's Liz when she exits next week. (tee hee.... sorry....not sorry)

I wonder how tonight's HOH will work: Will it be a crap shoot separate non HOH battle? or a combined 2-sides jury versus existing hamsters similar to Judd's return?

I want James in the F2 chair & while it would be nice to see Meg beside him simply b/c they've been the most loyal to one another it wouldn't matter to me at that point. Hearing James earns barely $20k a year & isn't in the house for fame makes me pull for him even more. Even if he wins $50k for second that's more than 2 years income for him. I wonder if at some point James saves Austin via vote over anyone in SS if Austin would pick James at F2 if he had the choice & obviously Liz would have to be gone simply due to bro-code (& thinking he has the votes with his delusional ego).

Anyway, fasten your seat belts kids tonight should be fun & again NoNo let's hope you get the double jeopardy version of your F8 Curse & JMac just comes right back in, wins HOH & puts up Liztin!

**bookwurm** · 08-27-2015, 06:35 AM

I may regret saying this, but I am so ready for a change up in the game. I am getting bored with this power structure. I do hope this return is different from past and the returning player gets to stay. I would prefer Jackie, but.... Otherwise have an excellent eviction day!

**Ellee1** · 08-27-2015, 06:49 AM

Did anyone catch the look on James' face when JMac casually said that Steve is much closer to the Austwits than he is? Casual comments to James and Meg like this followed by 'innocent' comments by Vanessa might have changed JMac's expected eviction.

**KeninVA** · 08-27-2015, 06:57 AM

Morning all,

Jmac is 90 percent out the door. While Vanessa is obviously thinking of the flip, I think her instinct is to still stay loyal, now, because of the threat of the return juror. She does not feel particularly safe, but has every reason to believe Vaustwins would preserve her, over Steve, in the event of being on the block together. Right now, keeping unity with Austwins, is, IMO, her best bet. Flipping to Jmac, and hoping Shelli or Becky come back in, seems relatively high risk. James and Meg would still target her, and would still vote her out over anyone else left, except possibly Steve. If Meg got booted, that might change, but right now, sticking to Steve and the Austwins, seems her best bet.

Austin is living in a dream world, if he thinks that he can cut a deal with either Jmac or Steve, that they would keep. The box he put himself in is that James doesn't care if he breaks deals to make a big move, and Austin broke his deal with both Steve and Jmac, meaning they will have no problem putting the Austwins up, no matter what they tell him. I think Austin started to feel that last night, paradoxically telling Liz, she has to win HoH, but not helping her study, since he wanted to get to the nightly finger activities.

I think Vanessa has worked herself back to 4th among the Austwins. The key for her in a returning juror scenario, like Jackie, is to point out the power of an unabated trio, at F7, should she exit the game. She might also be able to offer a deal, to take the returnee down to F3, in a mutually beneficial relationship. I think she would stick to it, and Jackie might be tempted, after hearing from Becky in Jury.

I actually think her best return is Jmac, followed by Becky, and then Shelli, with the worst for her being Jackie. For James/Meg only Jackie is likely to work out to their benefit. For the Austwins, they are right to be afraid of every returnee, since all of them will have enough perspective, or should, that they need to be broken up.

The more I look at the board, the more I am convinced that after the returning juror sorts itself out, the best move, for almost every player (operating in pairs i.e. James/Meg or James/Jackie or Meg/Jackie, Vanessa/Steve or Vanessa/Jmac or Vanessa/Shelli (all potentials), is to get Austin and Liz out, and keep Julia for the final three. She represents mutually assured destruction as a weak competitive threat, but a definite F2 threat (this almost is never the case), all the incentives are then to get her out at F3, and take your chances against the other partner in front of the jury.

If I was James, and Jackie comes back, I would be looking to let Meg go, and use Jackie as his go forward partner, as a better competitor. I just don't see how that could actually happen.

Still some time for flipping to occur, Jmac is not done just yet. Maybe some interesting daytime feeds, with a patented Vanessa blow up at Steve, to give her a ''reason'' to flip her vote. It would be a little funny if she did yell at Steve, and then his picture changed to B/W, but I don't really expect this.

**BBhead** · 08-27-2015, 07:55 AM

Well, Jmac is going to talk to Meg/James this morning and I think he can get them to flip. Vanessa is a gambler, so I'm hoping Meg/James go to her after and make a deal and I hope she flips too. With a returning juror, they could go 5 on 3 against The Coven, with Austin not playing in the next HOH. She has to see how hard they fought to keep Steve this week, which therefore puts her at the bottom of that alliance. Jmac has sworn he would be loyal to her, so teaming up with Meg/James would make them 2 pairs (plus whoever returns). Becky and Shelly and likely Steve would go with Vanessa/Jmac. If I'm Vanessa, I go with the full house rather than 3 of a kind.

**BBhead** · 08-27-2015, 08:05 AM

And one more thing: I was so angry at their glee about making them do rock, paper, scissors yesterday to determine the outcome. I thought it was disrespectful to the players as people, and to the game. And I wonder how they would felt had their own games been determined that way. I would like nothing more than to see today shake down this way: JMac gets Van/Meg/James to flip. They tell him about the r/p/s plan (Van mentioned it last night). Jmac goes to Steve and tells him, look, I know I'm going, but this is what those bastards tried to do to us for the live show. Tell him about the plan. Tell Steve, after they vote, let's stand up and do it so they know WE know. Since you're safe, you choose paper, I'll choose rock. Paper covers rock. But then, with Jmac knowing he's actually got those 3 votes, Jmac chooses scissors instead. Then Julie reads the votes: Jmac, you are safe. Camera zoom in on The Coven's faces. And....scene.

**Luanne** · 08-27-2015, 08:08 AM

Good morning all- I do not think Vanessa will make it to F2, but I am very glad she is safe for another week. I hope everyone realizes that Austin and the twins have to be broken up. It really does not matter to me if Steve or Johnny leaves. I was a Johnny fan at the beginning, but I just do not understand his game play. Volunteer to go on block, throw POV, not try for HOH,,,does he think that will win the game? I still like Steve but do not like how quickly he turned on Vanessa. She is the one that pulled him into the game and the alliances not Austin. At the beginning, she was the only one that actually talked to him and treated him like an equal. I know, I know she has been rough on him every since she was on the block with Shelli. I do not blame her.

I still like James and hope if he wins HOH, he nominates Austin and Liz. If one of them come off the block, he has to put up Julia. I have no idea who I want to come back from jury. I am leaning toward the one evicted tonight. I hope this next week is a good week in the BB house and Austin and Liz are on the block and Vanessa is safe. A girl can dream.

**nonobadfish** · 08-27-2015, 08:35 AM

Sad morning, everyone (well, actually it's a glad morning because Mr. Nono is at a conference....no, wait...I'm not glad that he's away. Let me start over: It's a glad morning because I don't have to go to the office today or tomorrow (since Mr. Nono is out of town). Yay for a double holiday! But it's a sad morning because it sure looks like JMac is going to fall victim to The Nono F8 Curse. I lost Dani D, My Brit, and Zach to this exact same curse, so I was going to have a JMac funeral today and take a photo for y'all so you could join in the sad fun. But since I'm having a lazy day, I decided it was easier to look back in photobucket and find my funeral photo that I posted in BBU for My Brit instead. This way I don't have to brush my hair. Economy of effort, you know.

So join me, any and all who mourn for JMac....get your glass of wine, your tissue, and your tiara and toast my poor JMac whom I cursed by accident.

(PSUColleen, if you see this....I remember when I took this photo, I wore that necklace just for you because you liked it from even longer ago...it's sort of my BBU necklace. I still have it....)

**deniset** · 08-27-2015, 08:36 AM

Good morning all. Is there any possibility that Vanessa is leading JMac on trying to trick James and Meg into voting for him thinking she is too? She has been trying to set them up all week and I could see her doing this to make them look bad to the twins and Austin.

**BettyBoo** · 08-27-2015, 08:41 AM

Wonder what the numbers are for BBAD. I know I can only take a few minutes of it. Watching them bowl or play pot bowl gets to be deadly dull. Mix in the nasal sea gull twin shreeks and it dials up to ear bleed painful. Also imagine live feed viewing is down since most people don't want to watch the porn cam show.

I would like to understand the dynamics why John and James never became buddies and why John was drawn so closely to Clay and Shelli? I suspect the Jason snarkfest combined with the James prankfest made them unserious partners to John. We know Steve understandably didn't like the digs he received from them. It's too bad, since John hasn't helped himself with his choices and will probably compete to return tonight. I do enjoy his sense of humor, but it's another case (like Donny) of what coulda been, rather than what was.

Leaves us with the unlikable six, amusing crude James, sweet useless Meg, and a returning guest to be named. Although WE see the logic of breaking up the triplets, I still think somebody will want to be the giant killer and take out Vanessa first. Now they can put a stake thru her heart with no worries that she can return. If she wins HOH I bet she'll go for the returning player with James or Meg as OK alternative. It's an easier. I think Steve wants to be the one to take out Vanessa. But watch Sasquatch and the Shrikes to keep rolling.

Oh I do so hope I'm wrong, since I don't wanna see a triplets and their evil step-mother final foursome.

**LCnSummer** · 08-27-2015, 08:57 AM

Big Hugs to my BBU Buddies,

So much to say, so little time. I've only had the time to read the great discussion posts lately... and have so wanted to comment on many of them. So I will quickly post one of the items that has been rattling around in my brain before I head out of the house.

Yesterday TTOTambz said the following about Austin:
~~

See I'm not so sure Austin tries to follow her.

When I listened to a podcast and learned Austin hit on Jason first (for the entire week the feeds weren't up yet) then he hit on Jackie prior to moving on to Liz. There's also the flashback clip of Austin telling Jace he doesn't even think Liz is hot. Factor in Austin came into BB with a girlfriend and I think it's pretty clear he's there for the OVER exposure. In fact I've heard Austin talk more about screen time, DR sessions and popularity than ever hearing him talk about money or winning.

My feelings are everything he does is for exposure on the air, screen time and trying to gain post game opportunities. If Liz goes out at 8 I doubt he'll want to leave 7th when he could get to F4 for example and only have to compete with a couple of people for screen time. He'll position it like now I have to win for Liz, but the reality is he's in love with the idea of fame more than he is with Liz IMHO
~~

After Hickey-Gate, I kept thinking that LIZ will have a fit when she gets out and sees how Hickey-Gate was received and how Austin made like it was no big deal.

Most normal women would see Hickey-Gate as very disrespectful and demeaning.

When he placed upon her person... his physical mark of ...~~> your so hot it is your fault I cannot stop sucking on your neck <~~ he did not know that she would be open for further BB sex-escapades.

So like TTOT said, he was already doing stuff for SHOW. Then with Finger-Gate he upped the ante. His BLOG was a reflection of ~~> I'm a romantic historian... I see the world through glasses of my choice.. I can spout nonsense and you will love it. See the Sound I make as I sing my own praises. <~~

GACK

He will prolly blame Judas for Finger-Gate.

She does not feel particularly safe, but has every reason to believe Vaustwins would preserve her, over Steve, in the event of being on the block together. Right now, keeping unity with Austwins, is, IMO, her best bet.

I get Vanessa's loyalty because she's scared of who is returning, Ken. BUT if she flipped and got on board with Meg and James to keep JMac, she greatly increases her odds of the Returning Juror being on her side.

JMac/Vanessa/James/Meg get Becky or Jackie for sure. They most likely get Shelli (she's going to go where JMac is and pretend she likes Vanessa). They might even get Steve (I can't imagine that Steve would want to side with the Austwins). Her only risk is if Julia or Liz won HoH tonight, but that would be 5 against 2 playing for HoH.

I would think (but obviously Vanessa doesn't think like I do) that the Triple Vote Power of Austwins, combined with the loyalty of the three to each other, is the greatest danger to ANY of them winning the game. So don't they all need to take a shot to break that group up...and isn't this HoH their very best shot of breaking that group apart? Austin can't play HoH, so it's up to Liz or Julia to win it. Again, if Vanessa flips sides, that's 5 against 2 in the HoH. Not a slam dunk, but maybe the best chance they've had in a while.

If Vanessa stays loyal to Austwins and she wins HoH tonight, then she's going to miss a perfect chance to get rid of one of them. I guess, if she wins, she could flip to the other side then and nominate the Austwins anyway, but that seems even more sneaky and disloyal than she likes to play.

Actually, I most of all want to see this game without the Austwins holding all the power with their 3 votes. I think that's going to take Vanessa teaming up with James/Meg and either Steve or JMac. Maybe this is what needs to happen: Vanessa talks to James/Meg, tells them her fears of the Austwins' unbreakable bond, and the three of them decide whether to keep Steve or JMac. Then they pull in the one they are keeping and tell him the plan, gaining his loyalty. That would work with Steve or JMac. And I think the returning juror would probably go with the team of James/Meg/Vanessa/JMac or James/Meg/Vanessa/Steve.

Then there will be 5 playing against Liz/Julia for HoH. If one of the 5 win, put Austin/Liz on the block (this wouldn't be hard for Vanessa because they will already know she flipped when she votes with James and Meg). If one of them wins PoV, put up Julia. If Julia wins PoV and takes Liz down, put up a pawn with Austin and Austin goes home. And we all do happy dances.

(I know I'm dreaming and Vanessa won't do this, but I really do think she should.)

**TTOTambz2** · 08-27-2015, 09:28 AM

As per the Vanessa - JMac situation I really did think all week she was leaning toward him until she went up to the Austwins and outed his entire plan along with her own to trap the Goblins. Ken nailed it earlier this week citing her saying "see I told you what his plans are, let's see if they will" since she's paranoid about the closeness specifically between James & Austin. I think she's playing with fire though b/c JMac has made some solid points to her regarding the triptwits needing to be split & HE has been the one telling her about the deals and plots for her demise lead by Austin not Steve (who continues to lie to her face). Unlike Ken I believe the trio will flip right back to taking out Vanessa if they feel any fear.

It's ironic she would go into full on wide-eyed manic trips to find her "REASON" to oust people like Jeff, Audrey and Jason but when she has a team plotting her funeral THAT REASON apparently pales in comparison. SMH.

I'm looking forward to JMac's discussion with the Goblins today as I suspect he'll be much more forthright. I think he believes they know all about the F5 deal with the Rockstars-Trio, but it's never truly been verified with the mice. Once James starts to hear of deals the other 5 have (SS) & of Austin telling JMac that James was his true target maybe the mice will finally wake up. James knows the trio need to be broken, but he's likely hoping it occurs at someone else's hands. At least JMac will give him a solid reason to do it.

What might help push Vanessa the extra mile is if James were to tell her the reason they never got mad at Steve over Jackie's DE beheading is b/c he blamed Vanessa for the whole thing. Perhaps JMac can clarify & open a door for that conversation with her.

As much as the mice appear to often be asleep at the wheel they were the ones who caught on this week that Vanessa was working both nominees to pull them to her (& get their jury vote) and Meg caught Steve/Vanessa studying. Though they aren't as boisterous about shifts in people's actions they've fully sensed the twits indifference toward them this week (especially James).

Personally, I'm hoping for an about face with Steve leaving (via Head's suggestion which is BRILLIANT) but I want Jackie to return b/c she's level headed. She understands working as a team & the 4-some of the re-united Goblins and JMac IMO would be a more cohesive group with Jackie providing clarity, JMac: game knowledge/comp ability, James: brass balls and Meg: social skills. In the event JMac stays & Becky returns she's already demonstrated she'll flip the switch as has Shelli & I have a bad feeling both of those ladies would want to take Vanessa deep in the game even over the mice.
