Once again Vanessa is Head of Household and once again is she on her quest to find reason after reason after reason to nominate people all while maintaining her integrity, because she’s got so much integrity and her integrity is important to her and you can’t ever take her integrity away from her. Integrity.
And in typical Vanessa and Big Brother 17 form, it sounds like she’s going to do the exact opposite of what she should do this week. So read on to find out more.
Big Brother 17 Live Feed Highlights – Thursday, September 10, 2015:
7:37 PM BBT – Vanessa wins HOH and feeds cut.
7:51 PM BBT – Feeds have returned. Vanessa seems to already be stressing. Once again she’s won an HOH when she probably didn’t have to, but she said the video from her girlfriend made her compete even harder.
7:54 PM BBT – Vanessa starts looking for her reasons. She asks Austin what everyone was going to do had they won HOH. She tells him she doesn’t know what she’s going to do yet and that she has to fact-check some things first.
7:58 PM BBT – Vanessa grilling Liz on what Steve would have done this week, so she can build a case against Steve and have a REASON to put him up if that’s what she decides. She tells Liz that she heard she and Steve were considering putting her up this week. Liz denies it.
8:00 PM BBT – Steve tells Vanessa that Austin wouldn’t say who he was targeting but promised Steve he wouldn’t nominate him this week if he won HOH. Vanessa thinks that must mean she would have been the target. Steve also tells Vanessa that Liz agreed to the deal he offered her about breaking the tie to save him over Vanessa this week if Liz was HOH. She tells Steve she needed a reason to target Austin and now she has it.
8:12 PM BBT – Austin begs Vanessa to trust him as he reminds her they’ve been together since day one.
8:15 PM BBT – Vanessa is grilling John now. John tells Vanessa that Austin promised to not put him up. When John also tells her that he also did what she told him to do and told Austin that he’d nominate Vanessa if he won HOH, Vanessa say “I did?” She tells him she wishes she had it in her to throw a competition but she either gets too nervous or too competitive and has to win.
8:25 PM BBT – Liz and Vanessa talking. Liz tells Vanessa that Austin is bugging out. Vanessa says he should be worried. Liz tells Vanessa that was wasn’t going to stick to the deal that Steve offered her and adds that Vanessa was not her target this week.
8:29 PM BBT – Austin joins the conversation. Vanessa tells Austin what John told her and he says that John lied. Vanessa tells Austin that he has good incentive to put her and Steve up because they’re the ones most likely to win the final four veto. Austin says he believes she’d take him to final 3 so asks why would he ever target her.
8:30 PM BBT – Liz ensures Vanessa that she would have nominated Steve and John with Steve as her target.
8:33 PM BBT – Vanessa tells Austin and Liz she isn’t mad but she’s confused. She also says she must be the only one not making conflicting deals (WHAT? HAHAHA).
8:36 PM BBT – Vanessa to Austin: “You don’t know what it’s like to be me in this game.” Later she adds that it sucks to be me in this game.
8:58 PM BBT – Vanessa tells Austin she doesn’t want to target him and Liz. She asks him if he would throw the veto. He swears on it and tells her he will do whatever it takes. Vanessa now brings up to Austin that he’s had a lot of final two deals with people. He denies most of them.
9:01 PM BBT – Vanessa tells Austin that Steve just looked too comfortable before the HOH competition and it made her really paranoid.
9:14 PM BBT – Now Vanessa is telling Austin she wants to work with him and wants to make this work. Austin makes promises for Liz about throwing part one of final Head of Household to Vanessa.
9:16 PM BBT – Vanessa says she thinks Steve is being a rat and adds that she has no loyalties to John.
9:25 PM BBT – Austin reminds Vanessa that he and Liz are a physical pair while Steve and Johnny Mac are a mental pair.
9:34 PM BBT – Vanessa tells Austin if she puts up someone from both sides (Liz and Johnny Mac or Steve) he HAS to throw veto and says to make sure Liz will be ok with that.
9:40 PM BBT – Vanessa again listing reasons why it’s good for Liz to go. Austin isn’t resisting. Now Vanessa is listing reasons to Austin why John is too dangerous to keep around. Vanessa to Austin: I’m okay with $50K. Only person I can beat in finals is Johnny Mac.
9:50 PM BBT – Austin tells Vanessa to put up Steve and John and they’ll get rid of one of them and then take Liz out “next week” (there is no next week).
9:58 PM BBT – Vanessa explains to Liz that she’s going to look really stupid on TV for not putting up the showmance so they HAVE to stay loyal to her if she keeps them safe.
10:06 PM BBT – Vanessa uses Johnny Mac’s family doing air guitar in their video message against him as some sign of the Rockstars alliance with Steve.
10:08 PM BBT – Vanessa tells Austin and Liz she wants to do the right thing (which for some reason she thinks is keep them safe).
10:18 PM BBT – Steve tells John they need to stay close to Vanessa this week (too late, Steve, you guys gave her all night to change her whole game plan around).
10:33 PM BBT – It’s time for Vanessa’s HOH room reveal. Yay.
10:48 PM BBT – Vanessa brings up her integrity for the one millionth time this season and tells Austin that she’s had their backs all season and they’ve had hers. She jabs that Steve and John are acting awfully safe (BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DEAL WITH THEM, VANESSA).
11:02 PM BBT – Austin tells Liz to stop being so nice to Steve.
Things didn’t end here though as Vanessa pressed on for hours more. Read the second half of the report on the next page.
Picking back up for the second half of the night’s talks we get Vanessa continuing her back and forth on targets as she holds more talks with the other four Houseguests.
12:50 AM BBT – After a long reprieve, Vanessa resumes her game talk with Austin as he extols the benefits of keeping him and Liz as a target before her. Vanessa tells Austin she wants them to target John if he’s on the Block come eviction time.
12:55 AM BBT – Vanessa has additional deal requirements: Austin will vote out Johnny, won’t use the Veto, and (along with Liz) throw round one of the final HoH comp to her. Austin agrees.
1:05 AM BBT – Austin agreeing with all the reasons Vanessa has for making John the target and keeping Steve as Steve will be a problem for Liz, not them.
1:25 AM BBT – Vanessa explaining to Liz how watching Johnny Mac’s video message from home where his family did the air guitar has convinced her there’s more to the Rockstars alliance (with Steve) than she imagined.
1:30 AM BBT – Vanessa making her list of demands to Liz: vote how Vanessa tells her and throw round one of the final HoH (as previously discussed and agreed to).
1:40 AM BBT – Steve now makes his way up to HoH room. Vanessa explains why it seems like she should choose the showmance to target, but she feels Steve would take John over her to the F2. (As compared to the showmance taking you? What?) Vanessa says she thinks John would pick Steve over her to go to the end. Now back up, hours ago John explained to Vanessa why he wouldn’t take Steve over her since Steve is well liked and Vanessa isn’t (as she continues to insist), so we know this is pure bull.
1:45 AM BBT – Vanessa says everyone left has won a lot except John. She likens John’s record to Julia’s. John won 4 comps and threw others… (I think John has won more comps than Austin after a quick scan of the wins list.)
1:50 AM BBT – Steve is worried Liz and Austin will vote against him, not John if they’re on the Block together. Vanessa assures him they’ll vote as she instructs.
2:05 AM BBT – Vanessa explaining her vision for F4 where Austin will throw Veto but then Vanessa wants Steve to win it and take her and Liz on to F3.
2:20 AM BBT – Vanessa promises to tie-break in Steve’s favor if John comes down and Steve is up there at eviction time.
2:45 AM BBT – John arrives for his talking-to. Vanessa explains how John could take her spot because he’s won less and is tempting to other HGs in a F2 scenario. John doesn’t argue at all about her reasoning that he and Steve are a pair just like Austin and Liz are a pair.
3:00 AM BBT – Vanessa prodding John to make arguments against her proposed plan, but he declines. She asks if he’s okay with Steve leaving and he says he is.
3:20 AM BBT – John and Vanessa continued their talk. He’s not resisting her suggested noms of him and Steve. Vanessa asked if he’d vote how she wanted if he isn’t on the Block. John agrees.
3:30 AM BBT – Steve is stressing and scampers back upstairs when John leaves. Vanessa tells Steve that John doesn’t know he’s the target.
3:35 AM BBT – Austin arrives and blocks Steve’s game talk where he was working out scenarios with M&Ms. Vanessa gives him the boot and talks with Austin.
3:40 AM BBT – Vanessa tells Austin she’s good with either Steve or John leaving. She claims Steve’s campaigning to protect John has her more convinced of their alliance.
3:50 AM BBT – Vanessa relays stories to Austin about her conversation with John and how he didn’t even put up a fight or argue to her suggestion that he’d be a nom.
4:30 AM BBT – Austin is back down and out of the HoH room. Vanessa remains awake and going through scenarios using the candy Steve left.
4:38 AM BBT – DR leak as Vanessa goes in and we can hear production and her chatting briefly. Nothing of value, but interesting if you like the insight of their general talk.
4:50 AM BBT – Vanessa finally, finally goes to bed and lights out.
Vanessa is saying her target is John and she’s saying her target is John and Steve. Earlier she said her target was Austin. Oh and she also mentioned her target was Liz. We can be fairly confident she’s not targeting Vanessa. Mostly confident at least. I don’t think John is her real target as compared to a showmance, but we’ll see.
Big reminder here that the Feeds will go down for 14 hours on Friday as the HGs have an early nominations ceremony and Veto competition. We won’t get Feeds and spoilers for those until nearly midnight BBT. In the meantime, we’ll get what we can out of these HGs before things go dark.
