That's what I said.

I hope Julia sends Austin home when she enters the game. No more kisses for m'lady Liz! Gross.

You're gross.

You're rooting for Austin's creepmance with Liz?

Yes. Yes I am. Because she's not doing anything to NOT lead him on.

I mean, she's definitely leading him on. Totally taking a page from the Alison "Alislut" Irwin playbook.

Austin is just a giant creeper, though.

Ehh... Not really. You just think he LOOKS like a creeper. He doesn't act creepy in any way. Sure, he probably shouldn't be this emotionally invested and should be able to see through the blatant flirting, but whatevs.

Steve is the creeper. WTF was with the random Becky hate last night?!

That I have no explanation for. Becky is perfectly harmless and Steve is awkward AF.

Have to agree with Libs. Austin isn't necessarily doing anything creepy, especially when Liz is leading him on, but the fact that he's so into her and not realizing that she's only showmancing** it is unfortunate. Also, whether or not he's serious about giving up his chance to win for Liz is irrelevant, but he did suggest to Vanessa at the start of the week that he wishes he could "hero" it this week and get nominated with Liz and then win Battle of the Block, to which she wisely shot him down.

**Wasn't showmance originally meant to be a romance-for-the-show? As in, not real or put on by one of the two. But I think it's been adopted to mean a genuine romance in the house.

Battle of the Block is over! Praise Jesus!

Love that this is a classic wall endurance comp. Jackie needs to win and shake up the house.

And the winner is...



Also I lost ALOT of respect for Liz after her immature goodbye speech to Jason. She's getting WAY too cocky in the game right now and comes off as a spoiled brat. She also convinced the Sixth Sense to keep Austin so she's already super annoying.

Her twin Julia seems more reasonable (unless I switched them)? She knows they need to get rid of Austin while Liz's immaturity I could see very well being what breaks up the Sixth Sense alliance.

I'm going to do my first ranking of the houseguests later, but SPOILER ALERT Steve will be my lowest-ranking. I've already been disappointed (as I'm sure the producers are as well) in his complete lack of anything, but that bizarre Becky bash made him look like more of a creep than anyone else this year. It's obvious he tried to say hello to her one time and she didn't suddenly make out with him, so he's labeling her a bitch.

A few things I can do without:

-Vanessa's bathing in blood constantly. Thank god her HOH is finished. It doesn't make sound you sound badass to be constantly talking about bloodbaths. You helped get rid of the misogynist and the grocery store worker who lives in the basement. Those are more birdbaths than bloodbaths.

-The boring HOH nomination ceremonies. "You nominated me, I'm nominating you" "I hope you respect this for the game move that it is" "I hope you fight hard for POV" Give me a break and just have some balls already.

-The ridiculous alliance names. Once upon a time, an alliance meant something. Now it's sole purpose is to be named and hashtagged on the show. #LameAllianceName! Only Chilltown should be remembered. And even that is only partially remembered right (there was a girl originally with Will and Mike). And it wasn't even really an alliance.

On a side note, it's hilarious that *DRUMROLL BB TAKEOVER** ended unceremoniously. I guess having something called The Gronk force the houseguests to party wasn't what they had in mind for a twist.

I think Allison Grodner literally fell asleep weeks ago. The BB takeover lasting for 3 weeks and affecting NOTHING is so typical of Big Brother's flop twists. lol

In other news, I was reaalllyy happy James won HOH. He's pretty stupid but at least it wasn't Clay and Shelli again. Although I will always give Shelli credit for being a badass.

And yes re: the comment above about Liz being a basic bitch. She is. Julia is amazing, though; the first thing she did when she got in the house last night was call out Austin for being sketchy. Queen.

Julia is a ho.

Whatever.

In other news, James said he's going to put Shelli and Clay on the block. Boom.

He better home Meg or Jackie or Steve wins HOH next week. Because he's gone.

I'm cool with James doing the dirty work just for him to leave next week. Clelli got ta go!

Shelli and Clay are on the block and everyone is melting down. I'm sorry, this season is fucking great.

Really enjoying Clay and Shelly rationalizing this week. Essentially that their betrayal was just a small thing, while Jason's is a big thing.

The Sixth Sense really does look over though. Clay/Shelly pretty much wiped clean a lot of their responsibility of Vanessa's HOH which did not go over well at all. Looks like it will be super hard to work with them.

So looks like the next three weeks will probably focus on Clay/Shelly (1 out), then Jason or one of the twins out the week after, followed by Jason/Austin/the twins if 1 of them isn't out yet. Vanessa as an alternate as she's really done too much too other houseguests at this point.

I'm most impressed this week by Jackie. She is fully taking the lead of strategy for the other side and really seems to be guiding them along the way as a united front. I can't see how Vanessa/Shelly/Liz/Julia won't try to get her out asap as well.

That really leaves 1 of the twins, Jonny Mac, Meg, Becky and Steve sitting good I think for a few weeks. Meg/Steve don't seem perceptive at all and the twins will seem like they rode coattails for much of the game. My bet right now is Becky or Jon will make it to the final 2. They are playing very smart games. Jon for the win as he's still lying low but good at competitions.

James. His names is James.

umm... wtf meg?

The vote has flipped back and forth between Clay leaving and Shelli leaving approximately 100 times. These people are such fucking flaky messes and it's amazing.

If I was the house, I'd want Shelli gone. If I was Meg, I'd want Shelli gone.

If I'm in the alliance, I want Clay gone. Shelli is a way better competitor.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

Shelli/Clay on the block? I love this. Best thing that's happened to another boring season (stopped watching after Davonne was eliminated). The way he blindsided them was AMAZING.

If I was James, I would've used the POV on Clay and put either Austin, Steve, or Liz on the block next to Shelli.

Clay isn't a threat like Shelli is. He won one competition (POV but no HOHs) compared to Shelli's 2 HOH records. However, I understand why he had to keep the nominations the same since he betrayed him. James has a real great chance of winning as long as he continues to do well in the competitions (hope he gets to compete in the next POV).

Steve (I felt sorry for him being picked on by most houseguests until he voted Jason out. He's definitely on my nerves), Liz and Austin need to go after Shelli (If Clay goes, Shelli needs to go next). If Becky wasn't associated with John, I would want her out. However, based on the feeds, she's been campaigning for Shelli to be evicted so I have a somewhat soft side for her. Meg is boring. Julia is pretty funny and the complete opposite of her sister. Still, she and Meg have a low chance of wiinning.

Thank goodness the BOTB stupid twist is over. Otherwise, The Sixth Sense alliance (Clay or Shelli, Austin, Liz, Julia, Vanessa but don't mind the latter two) would still be intact in having a better chance of winning HOH like when the Bomb Squad dominated almost all of last year.

Jackie has been consistently fantastic and would love to see her be in the final two. I can understand why people hate Vanessa but she plays the game well. I wouldn't be disappointed if she won $500K.

If I had a choice of who should win BB right now: It would be Johnny Mac for sure. He's quite funny and entertaining. He won 2 POVs in a row for goodness sakes. It's time for him to be HOH tonight.
