Overnight Austin Matelson put in to action a new plan but in just a few short hours everything had backfired and could make him the next big target on Big Brother 17.
Talking with Jason, Austin revealed that yes, Liz definitely had a twin in the game and her name is Julia, but Austin sure would like things better if he could have Liz to himself without that pesky twin along for the ride. Things start to go downhill from there for him.
Flashback on your Feeds to 10:45PM BBT 7/22 Cams 1/2 as Austin fills Jason in on the details. Austin acts hesitant to tell Jason too much information then just starts spilling all the beans. He’s sharing the details from the perspective of his romance with Liz and how he didn’t know there were two of them until someone explained it to him.
Austin suggests it’d be better to let both twins enter the house but after that he wouldn’t be opposed to someone getting Julia out so he could go to the Jury house with just Liz. Now I don’t know whether or not this is a real plan or just a ploy to lower HGs’ guards against the twins entering, but does it sound like a good idea to you?
Jump ahead to 1:50 AM BBT 7/23 Cams 1/2. Jason has previously updated Meg and so they’re now telling Shelli because none of these fools can keep a damn thing to themselves for strategic purposes. Good grief.
Shelli acts shocked to hear about the twins as they start to unravel Austin’s plan. They think he wants the HGs to target Julia if they’re going to target one of the twins and by doing so he’s also protecting himself by shifting the target.
A few mins later, 1:55AM BBT, Vanessa arrives and the retells start over. They explore the story of Austin’s back home girlfriend, but each time they mention the word “girlfriend” we get Fish. Seems someone back home pulled her release form. They’ve got plenty more to discuss though.
Jason suggests Austin is trying to get in good with him now in case Jason wins HoH this week to avoid Austin going up on the Block and being evicted as Julia comes in to play the game. Vanessa questions how Austin can’t understand that Liz will see this discussion later as he betrays her and her sister. “He’s just trying to make Jury house cause he’s looking for a piece,” says Jason.
James arrives and breaks up the discussion so Shelli heads upstairs where she fills Clay in on the latest happenings. They think he’s looking down the road and beyond working with both the twins to how he can work with just Liz.
Neither think Austin is here to play the game but to date and promote himself. While Shelli & Clay are on the topic of what Meg & Jason told her, they agree that they’d love a F5 deal with them and Vanessa. There aren’t enough hours in the day for these two to keep making new alliances.
Vanessa joins Chelli around 2:45AM BBT to discuss the Austin situation. No one is happy with him and that he’d dare to make moves without him. Shelli thinks they could evict Austin and then have the twins to themselves. Shelli suggests they let Liz and Julia know what Austin said and let nature take its course. Uh oh, Austin.
Austin’s big plans here turned in to a colossal failure and did so in rapid fashion. He’s been clueless but well positioned in the game so far and that might be ending real fast. He’ll need to win safety tonight in the HoH comp or there could be trouble for him at the next eviction.
