Shelli needs to drop Clay. He has no game. Shelli is telling him she's leaning more toward aligning with Austin and Liz for very good reasons later down the road. Clay is stuck on being best friends with Jeff and working with that side of the house when those are the first people who would throw them under the bus. It's painful to listen to Clay talk game. ETA: OMG, Clay tells Shelli they (Jeff/Meg/James) would never put up Shelli because they know it would anger him. I just can't...

Vanessa trying to sell Meg to Shelli. Hope she can convince her. She's in the HOH with Shelli, Clay and Austin. Vanessa is trying to tell them they can try to flip the vote with Liz on the block while if it's Meg there's zero chance since she's one of them. Shelli and Clay are resisting. Liz came up to reinforce putting Meg up. ETA: Looks like they may be swaying Shelli into putting up Meg. They are making great arguments for it. It helps that Clay left the room.

I just turned on the feeds and the cameras are on Shelli and Clay in the HOH, I can't stand to listen to them. The other camera is the backyard where there's just Jason, Meg, John and Jackie in view. Absolutely nothing is happening. I wish we could just click on any camera in the house on my own because I literally have no interest in any of this.

Shelli is not being smart about this at all. If she's so set upon getting Day out this week she should be putting up someone like Meg, James or Jeff to make sure it happens. By putting up one of Day's friends that takes a vote away from saving Day. Liz is not tied to anyone strongly, depending on who gets that 7th phone call, Liz could very well go home. I'm just glad Steve is safe is the week. Hopefully Vanessa can stay that way too while these people all take each other out. ETA: I wonder if Vanessa insisting on a girl was her way of trying to get Meg up on the block. I think her just recently being accused of being in an all girls alliance may factor in as well. I choose to believe that Vanessa is not showing her cards on who she is tight with.

I hope John wins PoV just see what happens. Shelli doesn't seem like she inclined to put up Audrey so the renom choices are limited. ETA: I'm happy Steve is safe again this week. I'm rooting for the Austin/Vanessa/Lizulia/Steve alliance right now.

Vanessa has a very good read on the house. She's been paying attention and has good instincts. She was talking to Austin / Liz (Julia) in the hammock room before the feeds cut. If they can keep it together and not flip-flip like the other groups in the house they could be effective underdogs in my opinion. Vanessa told them that whoever wins tonight, sit back and let them all run around and scramble and just observe everyone. She advised Austin to get close to another guy who is a huge threat like Clay who has great social game, he'd be a bigger target in that pair in the eyes of the house. Austin told Vanessa that if Audrey won HOH, he is tempted to volunteer to go up on the block so he can throw BOTB to keep Audrey in power. He'd also have a chance that way to play for veto guaranteed though it's risky.

I think I have feeds fatigue because these people keep spinning in circles and it's tiring. Audrey's plan to turn Jeff and James against each other didn't work. I usually go here to catch up on what's going on: http://www.bigbrotherdaily.com/big-brother-17/daily-recaps.html ETA: Steve is attempting to be social and is talking to Jeff, Meg and James. I find his social awkwardness endearing. They were taking about life and the type of girls Steve was interested in (social butterfly's to take him out of his shell). Meg went to bed and Steve, James and Jeff are eating Chinese food in the bathroom and speculating about what the HOH comp will be and past comps. Jace is talking to Shelli and I can't bring myself to listen to that conversation.

Austin better take Steve's name out of his mouth. He's not there to be entertained and his credibility for me is shot with being besties with Jace.

I'm rooting for Vanessa and Steve at this point. The other house guests exhaust me.

Short of Audrey winning and keeping HOH I don't see how she can get out of this. She will have to spin some serious gold from straw to keep from being evicted.

Most of the house guests gathered and comparing Audrey stories. Looks like her game is toast. ETA: Now that Clay outed the 8 person alliance to Jace. I want to Jace to blow up all their games and call a house meeting before eviction. Go out in a blaze of glory, lol. Looks like production was giving Audrey hints in the DR by asking her which house guests were twins...that will not go over well. I think after they get Audrey out next week, assuming these house guests can stick to it, they will take out another member of this "alliance" and try to bring in someone from the other side of the house like John.

I feel that Audrey has hurt her game by playing way too hard so fast. Even though she is naming Vanessa as a real threat people are going to not listen to her as they realize how much Audrey has been playing all sides. Only a couple of house guests have mentioned that this is a long freaking game. This is week 1, not the time to be so aggressive. After watching the feeds yesterday, I really like where Vanessa's head is at. She's got a pretty good read on the house with the exception of Austin who just does not know the meaning of the words lay low or keep your mouth shut. I think if Vanessa can grab Steve and John she could be in a pretty good spot while the other group cannibalizes itself. I hope Jace does call the house meeting he keeps threatening to call. That should be feeds gold.

It just pisses me off so much that people gloss over the fact that Sonny killed AJ in cold blood. I get Michael not wanting to carry hate in is heart, being a better person and even forgiving, but that still doesn't change the fact that no child of Sonny's has ever been safe in Sonny's care! Michael is walking proof of that. Michael can be the bigger the person but that doesn't mean he has to lose his mind as well. For Lucy to chastise Michael for being "spiteful" by taking custody of AJ is ridiculous to me. For anyone to suggest that Michael should just turn around and hand AJ back to Sonny makes my ears steam. If they actually write that Michael joins the grovel brigade to bend his knee to Sonny then I truly will give this soap opera up. I won't even get into how ridiculous Ava is being about Michael not letting a complete stranger have unsupervised visitation with AJ.

I couldn't help but feel that Sam's lines about telling Julian the truth about Olivia's baby were more about putting additional tire marks on Liz's back than about Sam not perpetuating a lie.Plenty of people lie on this show, heck Sonny committed cold blood murder and the people who are bad are the real heroes in this town. So of course since Liz is keeping the truth about St. Jaysus she will be vilified though more heinous crimes have been committed with no consequence. It's not that what Liz is doing isn't reprehensible, because it is. I just get frustrated how some characters are not allowed to grow or give real motivations for their actions just fit a plot point. I really wish the story would have been that Jason remembered on his own and decided to keep the truth hidden.

I would accept that Elizabeth is about the spill the Jason secret and she ends up in the crossfire of another botched hit by the competent moobsters of Port Charles. That would make more sense than her keeping quiet on who Jakeson is because of Patrick and Sam's love. The same Elizabeth who is best friends with Patrick and had a front seat to the whole Robin being revealed to being alive situation, not to mention the whole Lucky thing as well. I can't take character assassination for no plausible reason. I really wish they had flashed a disclaimer on the screen that the image we were about to see might be disturbing to some viewers before showing Courtney.

So basically Ellie and Nathan are going to retread a story that was played by 12 year olds. Too bad Lulu couldn't ask cousin Carly to put Valerie up in her hotel with the family discount. Not like half of Port Chuck don't live there anyway. This Jakeson story feels like it's stuck in mud so of course they are going to drag this out as long as they can.

This story just keeps pissing me off as a viewer. Morgan and Kiki are letting Michael take drugs they have no idea what they are, what the side effects are or if they'd have long term consequences (or even death!). I don't feel any sympathy for Kiki and her guilty conscience. I have a feeling after everything is revealed there will be no repercussions for Morgan or Kiki, Sonny will somehow be the hero and Michael made to still seem petty for daring to be angry about his fathers murder. For all I know this could be leading to MIchael forgiving Sonny since the entire town genuflects to him.

I just can't see how we are expected to see Michael as in the wrong for not wanting his sister to be raised by a man who killed someone in cold blooded murder. A person who was also convicted of said crime and sent to prison. A person who is only walking free because of a ridiculous pardon that was somehow supposed to erase these facts. Sonny is like Teflon in this town, I would not be shocked if Sonny is the one who will end up being the "hero" again because he'll tell Morgan he's an idiot and end up "sacrificing" for Michael again. ETA: Kiki doesn't get a pass from me for speaking up to Morgan because she still let Morgan drug Michael and is just as guilty. Even if she confessed today that doesn't negate that it was done and she was fully aware and an active participant.

Such a brilliant plan, do the same thing to Michael that Carly and Sonny did to AJ. The stupid burns so much. What they've done to Morgan's character is really sad. Only in Port Chuckles is Michael being looked at as unreasonable and an unfit parent compared to Sonny. How dare Michael not want Avery to grow up in an environment where she is in constant danger and being raised by bodyguards. Of course now Jake is stuck up Carly's behind and will end up right back to being Sonny's lacky instead of writing an interesting story where he rejects being a laplog to the mob. I hate all these redux stories where Sonny is never wrong, the police are seen as inept and reasonable people are portrayed as insane. Let's not forget also that Carly is best mother ever. I must be insane myself for continuing to watch and hoping for something to change.

I love how no one actually pays for the health care they receive from GH - only Liz and Lucky who conveniently were destitute and destroyed by medical bills. GH should just nominate themselves as a comedy for the Emmy's. That's how funny this Luke DID story is except it's not really. I wonder how long until Carly manipulates Jason into convincing Michael to forgive Sonny and drop the custody suit.

Why is it insane for Michael to sue for custody of his sister who is currently with the man who killed his biological father? Michae is right, just because Sonny was exonerated it doesn't change the fact that he was in jail for murder! Everyone is acting like Michael is pissed over something petty. Also, I've had enough of Spencer and all these kids. These kids gets more screen time than some of the veterans. I'm praying that this entire Luke storyline has been a self induced brain injury of my own. Maybe Helena can brainwash me to forget it.

I just can't with people acting like Michael is acting like a five year old pouting in the corner because he's not prostrating himself before Sonny. Like Sonny stealing Michael, lying to him his entire life and finally killing AJ isn't some big deal that he has a right to be angry about. Also, Nicholas may have earned being read the riot act but I can't even enjoy it because there are far worse people on this show that deserve to be put on blast and yet never are.

The propping of Sonny makes me violently ill. So what he "saved" everyone on the boat or Michael's life. That doesn't negate that he killed AJ or the other numerous people he's intentionally hurt in the past. Equally as sickening was Carly "saving" Sonny. I'm sure the new Mayor is preparing a parade for them where all the citizens of Port Charles will form a line to fawn all over them.

I'm not looking forward to the emotional blackmail his "parents" are going to try on Michael in order for him to not allow the recording of the confession to be admissible in court. Probably just in time for St. Jasus to regain his memories and Borg mind wipe Michael. I sincerely hope the writers allow Michael to be mad for more than 3 days and bond with Monica and the rest of the Q's. I especially want Monica to have that peace that AJ was innocent.

I can't wait until Michael finds out that Ava killed Connie and AJ was innocent on top of Sonny killing him for no reason. Yesterday was such a glorious smackdown. Carly and Sonny deserve all the wrath because not one lie was spoken.
