I still think Vanessa is playing by far the best game in the house, although I'm not sure how good her jury management skills are.

Regrettably, she wants to target James this week. Continuing to leave Austwins in the game unbroken is insane, but I guess I understand it from Vanessa's perspective...she would become persona non grata if she turned on them herself, she needed someone else to do it.

It's a shame because this season was honestly fantastic and then went really awry roughly around the Jackie boot in the double eviction.

I need Julia and Liz to be separated. It's the only moment I'm looking forward to left this season.

I've stayed away from spoilers this week, but the lack of movement in this thread would suggest there haven't been any late-game changes that involve targeting AusTwins.

I don't get it. How is it that everyone is scared of them? Heck, they're not even a threat to these people. Part of me just wants to see them shocked at seeing AusTwins in the final three. There's almost no way it won't happen now.

Vanessa is putting Julia up as a pawn to get Meg out since James won veto. But she's kind of building an army with Steve and Johnny Mac against Austwins.

I suspect one of them has a good chance at winning HOH in the double elim and targeting Austin/Liz.

I would not be surprised if Austin tries to set in motion to get Julia out to get Liz all by himself.

And Johhny Mac and Steve would be smart to evict Julia and team up with Meg and James. But what do I know?

I feel like if Julia is NOT evicted this week that they are the dumbest houseguests ever. Even Austin only benefits from losing Julia without being the one to nominate her.

Too bad she's the more bearable twin.

Because she's dumber, amiright?!

Maybe.

There is literally no reason to watch this show anymore.

Well, Steve won HOH and is putting up Austin and Liz. So there's that.

That's a start. But the longer Vanessa is in the house, the more I lose interest. James/Johnny Mac were the only two I was rooting for, and really, I was leaning HARD towards James. If Johnny Mac can win the game, with James winning the fan vote, that's my best case scenario.

Binged Thursday's show with the regular episode and I'm loving it. We went from losing James and Meg to now hopefully FINALLY losing someone from Austwins. And honestly, I'm happy to see Austin is finally starting to think about the game as an individual one rather than what it has been. That could likely keep him in the game longer if he realizes he can no longer take both twins (and maybe even Liz) with him to finals.

Can't believe I'm rooting for Steve and Vanessa with Johnny but honestly these people are my last hope. But when all is said and done, I still do not hate Austin or the Twins the way I DESPISED Frankie Grande. It's not a bad season at all for players. Aside from a few disgusting inhabitants (Jeff and Jace), this season has been largely asshole-free. Even Steve with all his anti-Becky crap is coming into his own. Of course it happens when it necessitates him to play hard, but better late than never.

Vanessa deserves to win this season. She may be a mess but she's the best player in the house. Point blank and the period.

No. Vanessa does not deserve to win. James did. Vanessa KIND OF controls the house, but she doesn't even fucking know it. She's completely oblivious.

James made a really strong move one week. He's been a fun guy to watch but he didn't deserve it over Vanessa or even Austin.

As much as I love John, his game is lacking as far as making moves. But he's highly perceptive of everyone. And his game feels similar to Dr. Will who never won an HOH, made ridiculous and funny speeches at veto ceremonies and eviction nights, and relied on others to do the dirty work.

Explain to me what I said that deserves an eye roll? And then counter what I said with fair, reasonable points.

If you say so. Vanessa is a paranoid Adderall head, but she knows what she's doing.

James was my favorite person in the game, but this comment reads as someone who only watches the edited TV show, no offense.

I'm assuming everyone is keeping up on house activity, but I will post this in spoilers just in case:

If Julia goes, I will be very mad.

Liz has to GO!!! She is the most annoying person in the house.

On the feeds, Liz wants Julia to stay. I really hope Vanessa will keep Jules in the game. Julia would do SO MUCH BETTER without her twin.

I've been back and forth with her but she has played the game right. I would RATHER SEE HER WIN over Austin (Judas) and Steve.

I do only watch the CBS broadcast. Because I'm not a fucking weirdo.

I wouldn't say anyone who pays attention to the feeds is "a fucking weirdo," but okay.

I'm just saying, you really can't claim to be an authority on what's going on in the house (your comment about Vanessa) when you don't REALLY know what's going on in the house.

I mean, you don't watch it 24/7, so technically, neither do you.

Bad comeback. She still has a better grasp on the house than you watching producer-approved edits. Anyone with a basic knowledge of the show knows that producers play favorites with certain people, even when the live feeders know better.

Worth noting that I too only watch the TV edits. But I still frequent BB sites like Hamsterwatch and Joker's to check out what's going on.
