Big Brother 17 Recap: Episode 12 – Shelli, Liz And The 90s Take Over

And it’s time for our weekly let’s put Johnny Mac up and ask him to throw the Battle of the Block. Chase thinks that’s the best way for Shelli to keep more blood off her hands. So she agrees and asks him to go talk to John about becoming a pawn again. And as usual, John doesn’t want to do it but he tells Clay he will. In his Diary Room, John asks himself when will he stop playing everyone else’s game and play his own. We’ve been wondering that also, Johnny Mac.

At the nomination ceremony, Liz nominates James and Jackie. Shelli goes with Jason and John. After the ceremony, Liz tells Jackie that she’s not her target. She promises her that she won’t go home this week. But Liz wasn’t happy with Jackie’s “balls” for asking those questions. Liz tells Austin she wouldn’t care at all if Jackie goes home.

Shelli explains to Jason that he went up on the block because Audrey told her that Jason was talking about targeting Shelli and Clay. Jason tells her that was not the truth and that he was under the impression that he was able to trust Audrey once again. And Shelli is upset because she doesn’t know how much longer she can trust Audrey in the game. She tells Jason to win Battle of the Block and dethrone her because she doesn’t want him to go home.

It doesn’t take Audrey long to get a read on Jason that he knows that she was the reason he went up. So Audrey goes to Shelli to pretend that she wasn’t really telling her to put up Jason. Even though we all watched her tell Shelli just that. So Shelli is again not happy with Audrey and maybe it is her that needs to go home this week.

But nothing can happen until the Battle of the Block. So let’s get to it. The 90’s week competition is all about grunge bands and John isn’t planning on throwing the completion this time. So he and Jason are ready to win. But after a close race, Jason and John flop and and it’s James and Jackie who win the competition, dethroning Liz/Julia. So Jason and John remain on the block.

Shelli let’s us know that she now has time to think about whether or not there’s a bigger target (Audrey) other than Jason this week.

  1. Jackie, James, Steve, Jason, Meg, John and Becky need to wake up. How can they not know their is a 5 person alliances (Liz/Julia being 1 right now)? As soon as Liz won HOH and came in the house she took Vanessa aside to talk. A sure sign they are working together. You know Shelli and Clay are working together and Liz/Austin are together so they must all be working together. When Shelli nominated Jason and John she said her pool of people to nominate was getting smaller. So she nominated the same people that have been getting nominated from the beginning. In the meantime, Steve is going after Meg, James is running to tell Shelli what Jackie is saying, Jason is talking about getting Steve out, blah, blah, blah.

    Did they watch the BB 16 shows? Did they not see the sheep go to the slaughter week after week until everyone was gone but Derrick, Cody and Victoria? Even Donny, the house favorite went home eventually – Meg should keep that in mind.

    They have the numbers now but in a few weeks they will be at a huge disadvantage. They need to allow this Audrey eviction to happen then they need to win HOH and band together to take out Liz, Vanessa, Shelli or Austin.

    • steve and john both think they are in the alliance.
      meg can’t win anything
      becky and jackie are in lala land
      James or jason have to lead the charge

  2. John has such a sweet disposition ~ His laugh tonite was music to my ears. I’ve made up my mind: JOHN for the WIN!

      • I’ll hop on! Annoying voice aside, I really like the guy. I’d love to see him win HOH and put up Shelli and Clay, with his explanation just being flipping them both off at the same time.

      • Actually what would be even better than that is if he pulls them aside in the HoH room and explains to them: ”Ok you’re NOT the target this week, I just need the both of you to throw the BotB, and then you can battle it out for Veto, but don’t worry, even if you don’t win, we’ll make sure somebody else goes home this week! …If you’re uncomfortable with that just let me know because I really need you both to be team players.”

      • The funny thing is, if John did win HOH he basically HAS to put up Shelli and Clay because they kept putting him up, if he didn’t put them up then that would show for sure they are working together!

  3. Does Becky think we’re playing hide and seek? Come out, come out! Seriously, who is Becky? Are we ever going to get to know her? I hope she is more visible on the feeds than she is on the program, BBAD, BBN, and Jokers. She did get accused of a hinky vote, though, but she didn’t even give us that.

    • Well let’s see now, she’s cute, with a nice personality, and a great body on top of all that… Get the feeling she’s just there to be a ratings grabber? ;)

      • You are definitely all man, Matt. That’s not a complaint. LOL And we have seen enough of her body to know you are correct about two out of three. I have no idea about her personality, but I would like to.

      • Yeah it would be nice for her to get more camera time than simply seeing her bounce around in the background with her big smile and (ahem) friendly personality… Again, my guess is that she (like most people on reality tv nowadays) isn’t there for her theories on quantum physics nor her philosophies on the historical precedence of poverty in our society.

      • Matt, take this as a compliment. You so very much remind me of my intellectual, sarcastically witty husband. Still, at times, after 20 yrs of marriage and 5 yrs of dating, I have to be looking at him to know if he is serious and I sometimes feel sorry for those he “plays” with.

      • I’m not entirely sure what you’re saying, but you told me to take it as a compliment and so I will (mostly because compliments are rare in a negative and judgemental society such as ours)… ;)

      • I should have said, your intelligence is obvious, your good-natured sarcasm is appreciated, your wit is entertaining, and your insight is genuine and unique.Better? lol

      • Could you dumb it down a bit more for me? You see I’m not all that bright, I’m pretty grumpy, I’m fairly bland and I find I’m far too often following the crowd… ;)

        Ok ok, in all seriousness, thank you my dear, you remain incredibly generous and kind, which as I said, is a rare gift and blessing in today’s world! :)

    • I saw someone mention awhile back that she hadn’t even been called into DR all that week. If that’s true, is the show intentionally not showing her or talking to her? Surely she has to do something all day, every day, talk to someone.

  4. Steve to JMac: “Do I make you feel uncomfortable when I talk game to you?..please tell me..JMac..”No! you’re cool to me, You’re completely different from anybody in the house that I talk to”.lol..JMac is really nice.

    ….then I go to another Cam..and guess who’s talking? Van!..stfu!

  5. I know Audrey is a liar but these HGs should be able to figure it out… Why are the same people nominated every week? Why are the same people in the HOH room every day, multiple times a day? Why was Audrey kept safe? I really want to fly to the BB house and yell over the wall!!!

  6. I thought the competition was really clever, I loved the 90s references! Although I definitely never heard of the Screaming Trees before.
