I feel like there should be a "y'all" counter at the bottom of the screen. Maybe on the broadcast show. We've got to be in the triple digits by now.

Shelli and Clay to James and Meg: "We're alone, y'all. Y'all, we've really been alone this game. We play the middle. But we want to work with y'all." On the other side of the feed, Vanessa to Jackie: "It's never been any secret that I've been close to Shelli and Clay." But they're alone, y'all. So alone.

Clay and Shelli are nauseating. Finally, an HoH who isn't afraid of "blood on their hands".

And the only person in the area who has a name starting with S. Steve clearly doesn't count. Or, you know, anyone else at all.

The new plan is for Clay and Shelli to go up to James and tell him that the house does not have his back in the upcoming vote. They're not going to throw Steve's name out there, they're only going to imply it. Whatever the result of this vote, the fallout is going to be interesting. Big Brother opened the photo booth while Shelli is still going through her routine. Apparently, the live feeders want the HGs to take ugly photos of themselves. I'm sure the live feeders really care. It's just hilarious to see them steer the crowd away from Shelli while she toils away outside.

Has anyone else noticed that Austin cannot stand up from a chair or seat without saying "Ugh. Oh God," in this ridiculously neutral, non-"Oh God" voice? I started noticing it and now I can't unnotice it. It's annoying.

There was a banner plane with a message to Shelli?! ETA: It was probably from her dog. I mean, he can write letters to her when she's HoH. ETA2: I don't really think it was for Shelli. I just like the speculation. When was the last banner plane?

Man. Liz out and out asked if they should just tell Clay that telling everyone to vote him out isn't going to work and he's going to stay. Meg shot it down and James seems fine with it. I would much prefer to see them melt down that they can't get their way (again).

I never get this way of thinking. James is HoH, sure, but his reign is pretty much over now that he won Veto (if he uses it, then it extends to naming the replacement nom and then is done). He can't play for HoH next week. The non-Summer Campers side of the house is much larger and has a better chance of winning HoH next week. The only way I see Meg winning is if it's a crapshoot or a trivia comp and even then I don't think she has that much of a shot. It shouldn't matter what James wants at this point. That being said, I'd love to see him use the Veto to take Clay off and put up Liz. It'll never happen, but it would be the best way of securing Shelli's eviction if that's what they really want.

I just realized, this would have been the perfect opportunity for someone to approach the BB house and yell over the wall. Have we had a wall yeller yet this season?

Complaining that they're tired is normal. Most of them usually don't get to bed until around 5 in the morning. Sometimes between 8 and 11, Big Brother wakes them up with music and the bedroom lights have to be turned on. Plus, after every 100 rotations of Shelli's punishment, she has to ring a bell in the living room and declare that the kingdom is safe. Both the bell and Shelli are loud. I doubt anyone is getting much sleep this morning. But yeah, mornings and early afternoons are really slow on the feeds. Late afternoons are good if it's post-competition or post-ceremony. All the good stuff happens late at night and in the wee hours of the morning.

There's a Port-A-Potty outside hiding behind a vine/flower wall that she has to use. As to Meg's meds, they might just be allergy pills or something. I don't imagine that the DR needs to hand out stuff like that. They also have free access to heartburn meds, Advil, etc. Vanessa can buff armour in her sleep. She barely moved when they called her to buff and then fell asleep in the middle of it and had to be called again. ETA: Shelli is somewhere in the 1700s.

I'm shocked that when Shelli woke up and started asking Clay to collect her hair brush and hair clips from the house for her, she didn't demand her makeup kit. She's going to be on camera without her makeup on!

I see Shelli made some progress overnight and is now at 1600 out of 2400. I had a good laugh last night, when she was at 146. She or someone in the backyard had finally figured out that if she hit the bar from underneath with her sword and caught the bar in mid air before it landed, it was easier than picking it up. So she does and the count doesn't change but she didn't notice. Another round, another bounce into the air and catch, no change in the count. On the third go-round, she looks back and says, "Hey, it didn't count!", runs back to the bar, knocks it onto the ground and it goes up to 147. She resets, does another round with catching the bar, checks the count and still 147. Knocks the bar to the ground, 148. Steve went into the DR and came out with confirmation that she had to knock it down to the ground for it to count. So she tried to find a loophole and BB shut her down. Good. For some reason, last season I was cheering on Brittany to finish her kicks. This time around, don't really care if Shelli completes them or not. I also see that they allowed Clay to sleep outside with her. Which I guess is sweet on his part, but he never got a "Sleeping is only permitted..." message from BB. Penalty vote! (Kidding. Kind of.)

Clay: "Ugh. Flossing is so hard." You can do better, Shelli.

I hope the DR eventually finds a smaller breast piece for Jackie's costume, because the poor girl can barely sit down. Vanessa has to buff her armour for 24 hours and right now they're giggling about it but give it a couple hours. And what a surprise, the costume is already falling apart. Shelli is being called to the DR. Must be time for her punishment to start. ETA: Ha! When Jackie showers, she has to wear the helmet unless she's washing her hair. And when she goes to use the bathroom, Vanessa has to stand outside and buff her helmet, apparently.

Poor Jackie got the worst costume ever. Can she even see through the helmet?

Nutritional Facts and Asian Drinking Tips with Basic Becky. If someone else doesn't wake up soon, even the vodka won't be enough to keep me watching the feeds. Oh, God. Becky's eating carrots. snap CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP snap CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP. I'd rather she go back to the bad nutritional advice.

OMG. Meg is crying (big surprise, right?) in the bathroom with Clay. Clay makes his pitch to vote him out and keep Shelli and Meg, for some reason, is standing between his legs, her hand on his thigh, leaning in... I know she's drunk, but holy hell, if Shelli walked into the bathroom right now? It would be hilarious. ETA: Darn it, it broke up. I was really really hoping Shelli was going to walk in on that.

Punishment. She has to perform/do a routine (something knight related) 2400 times in 24 hours. Every hundredth time, she has to run into the living room and ring a bell. If she doesn't complete all 2400 in that time, she cannot play for Veto next week.

Ha! Vanessa is going to go nuts. And I think Meg is completely wasted.

She cries over everything. Good, bad, sad, happy, Meg will cry. And the spectators of the Veto comp got booze to drink while they watched.

Now Meg is back to being a crying mess. Don't worry about drought in California, this house is gonna flood the whole state before long. It's a hilarious disconnect from the other side of the feeds, which is Jackie and James talking very seriously and strategically about the coming week(s).

Vanessa spilled the beans to Shelli in the bathroom that Clay has been going around, making people promise to vote him out and keep Shelli. Shelli is instantly "Why would he do that?" as Vanessa tells her it's the most romantic thing. So of course, Clay comes in and they're crying in each other's arms with Vanessa crying in the background, going on and on about how romantic and kind-hearted Clay is. You know Austin is going to hear about what Vanessa is saying and he's gonna have to up his game with Liz. No one can out-romance him.

So, Jackie has the costume/unitard and she has to be shackled to Vanessa. Vanessa has to clean her?! I think I heard that wrong. I hope I heard that wrong. Becky is offering to split the $5k with James? I am so confused.
