Just as we expected, the Big Brother 17 house was on fire after today’s Nomination Ceremony where the new Head of Household revealed shocking results. Well, shocking to the targets.
Yes, we have a power couple on the run with few exits aside from front door of Big Brother and with the rest of the house seemingly on board there may be no other escape.
James planned overnight to target Shelli by using other HGs as pawns ahead of a Backdoor, but then in the final hours of the night he saw a better plan: nominate Shelli and Clay together. Yes, he stuck to the plan and that’s just what happened. The fallout? As impressive of Feeds adventures as we’d expect.
Flashback to 3:54 PM BBT 7/31 as the Feeds have just returned from Noms Ceremony and Clay is cradling a crying Shelli in his arms. They’re both on the Block this week. She’s in shock and he’s furious. Clay continues to mutter “he’s a piece of s**t.” Seems Clay blew up at the Noms Ceremony so we’ll have to see that on Sunday’s show.
Clay and Shelli retreat to their bed where they start to scramble. Shelli says they have to get Austin Backdoor’d and says he’s the reason this is all happening after seeing Austin upstairs with James earlier. Vanessa joins them and she’s in (fake?) tears because Shelli didn’t hug her after the noms.
Tears turn to anger when Clay suggests this whole problem was caused by Vanessa and “her choice.” Oops. Vanessa didn’t like that and she starts raising her voice at them saying Jason was a group decision. Vanessa is pissed and goes outside to do preventative damage control working on the twins and Austin that they’ll need to “deny, deny, deny” what she expects Chelli to try next: exposing everything they know.
Jump forward to 4:12 PM BBT as Shelli and Clay grab James and go to the Lounge. Shelli is so upset at James for breaking that deal she asked for as she fell off the comp last night. That’s silly considering she was already dropping and James had a lot more left in him.
James lets them run in circles and he’s giving weak answers before he finally gets to their betrayal with Jason and blindsiding him and his allies over that decision. James points out that he can’t trust them anymore because if he was in the same spot and needed their two votes he knows they might not do it just as it happened with Jason. It’s a good argument, but the talk isn’t over yet.
My favorite moment in all this is when James brings up all of Shelli & Clay’s final four deals and boy there are a lot of them. Clay completely denies any and all F4 deals. He says he doesn’t have any formal deals with anyone, not even Shelli! Oh yes, Clay specifically says there isn’t even a F2 deal between him and Shelli. Too funny.
Just before 5PM BBT Shelli starts to get upset over the prospect of being separated from Clay. She tells James this was a terrible time to do this just one week ahead of Jury. Shelli points out that now only one of them could be in Jury and would never vote for James. Well don’t tell the showmance, but that was the idea. James knew the two would never vote for someone over the other so now he can break that vote-bond.
The conversation ends as James leaves. Shelli admits they should have never sent Jason home and should have just let Austin go and they’d still be safe. Yes, yes, yes. Shelli gets up telling Clay she’s going to throw up. She says she can’t be in this house without him and she can’t spend the summer in Jury without him either.
In the bathroom Shelli and Vanessa start to argue before things turn to tough love. Flashback to 5:10PM BBT. Vanessa is getting frustrated with Shelli and points out that their game as a couple doesn’t end just because one of them goes. Now Van knows Shelli is the top priority for eviction, but she’s pretending that it’s Clay.
Shelli breaks down in tears clutching at Vanessa, “why this week?!” She’s devastated that she’s about to be torn from this stranger she met six weeks ago. Shelli tells Vanessa she’ll need her strength to get through being in the house without Clay. I kid you not.
The talks continue before Shelli starts looping on what a mistake it was to have sent Jason home. Yep, it sure was. That was great for Vanessa’s game and terrible for Shelli’s in a big way because of how she and Clay handled it post-Veto by lying to everyone while Vanessa told the truth.
Divides are growing in the house and we’ve got ourselves one heck of a Big Brother game going on right now. On Saturday the Power of Veto competition will be held and that’ll be huge. Clay is encouraging others to save Shelli over him so if he wins then we may see him save her with it! Incredible.
