Becky Burgess set her backdoor plan in motion during the Big Brother 17 nomination ceremony, but surprisingly, she let Shelli Poole in on the plan.
It would be in Shelli’s best interest to keep the plan to herself, since Vanessa Rousso surely wouldn’t let Shelli know if the shoe was on the other foot, but will she? We’ll see.
Big Brother 17 Live Feed Highlights – Friday, August 7, 2015:
9:15 AM BBT – Few HGs up and around, but most are still in bed.
10:00 AM BBT – Liz wants to spray the coffee pot with Raid. Becky stops her. There are ants everywhere. Camera closeups are disgusting.
11:50 AM BBT – Vanessa wakes up and asks Julia if they made any deals with Becky overnight. Julia confirms a DE safety deal. Vanessa is furious. Becky had refused making a deal with her. Vanessa is cursing Becky and calls her game stupid for not accepting every deal made to her. Vanessa is certain this makes her the BD target.
11:57 AM BBT – Steve tells the camera he’s confident in his chances going up against Shelli. He thinks Austin might be the BD plan. (Not right now he isn’t.)
12:37 PM BBT – Have-Not food revealed: hamburger buns. Yep. They can put slop on buns this week. Meg, Jackie, and James volunteer to be HNs.
12:45 PM BBT – Liz is upset that Austin is performing so poorly in comps. She says it’s a turn off and he needs to step up his game.
1:10 PM BBT – Jackie worrying with James and Meg that they need to get ready for the next HoH comp and think they’re due for a thinking one this time.
1:45 PM BBT – Jackie and Meg are upset that Vanessa was telling HGs they had been bullying others to vote Shelli out.
2:00 PM BBT – Steve camtalks again saying he believes Austin might be the target. He’s very upset that Vanessa slipped overnight and revealed their “Freaks & Geeks” alliance to Shelli.
2:10 PM BBT – Vanessa tells Shelli she expects she may be nominated. Says she’ll hold up a flip flop if that happens.
3:40 PM BBT – Feeds are back. Shelli and Steve are nominated.
3:41 PM BBT – Becky revealing her plan to to backdoor Vanessa to Shelli. She tells her that Vanessa knew Shelli was going up and told her to not tell Shelli that she knew. Becky tells Shelli they will take her off the block if one of them wins veto. Shelli says how does she know that Steve isn’t being told the same thing. Becky tells her that Steve volunteered to be a pawn.
3:45 PM BBT – Steve is talking to the cameras. He knows that Vanessa is now the target and he says that’s not good for him. He talks about needing to protect their alliance.
4:05 PM BBT – Jackie talking about Vanessa asking Becky for a deal last night. Jackie says “UM we already have a deal!” They start laughing. They say Vanessa didn’t trust anyone so she tried to make a separate deal.
4:07 PM BBT – James says it’s only a matter of time before Austin and the twins strike at them and take one of them out. They laugh and say they have to win HOH every single week. They agree they will only go after targets. So Meg throws out the pecking order: Vanessa, Shelli and Austin. And Jackie mentions that one of them will be coming back.
4:09 PM BBT – Meg, Jackie and James agree that they will just lay low and rest this week and let Becky take care of everything.
4:14 PM BBT – Becky goes into the have-not room and they talk about Vanessa’s reaction to the nominations. Becky says she has to act shocked even though it was her idea to put Shelli up this week.
4:35 PM BBT – Vanessa tells Shelli that she thinks she can shift the votes to keep her this week. She tells her that she got a lot of information and that she will do everything that it takes to keep her safe this week. She said it will come down to John. If she can get him in then they can get the votes (Vanessa has no idea she’s the backdoor plan and so far, Shelli isn’t telling her).
4:42 PM BBT – Vanessa tells Shelli that Becky has NO loyalty and she hates that. Vanessa is acting very spastic. She tells Shelli she’ll catch her up on everything when they get to go outside.
So right now Vanessa is Becky’s target, but with veto players yet to be chosen and the competition played, a lot can change. Regardless, it should be another dramatic week in the Big Brother 17 house.
