peachmangosteen July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 What exactly did Becky tell Clay and Shelli? Is it vague enough for her to talk her out of if they decide to throw her under the bus? She told them the entire initial plan lol. But she had the sense not to go straight to them today with the "nom Shelli/Clay outright" plan. 8 Link to comment
kellog010 July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 (edited) I'm wondering if Vanessa dropped a seed about not respecting rats in the game when talking to Meg earlier. I think she may have did this ahead of Shelli or Clay throwing possibly Johnny or Becky UTB and as well as themselves to get the rat label. Keep a moving target in the house everyone can get behind.

Brian Cronin July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Someone better make Vanessa feel bad first then because she is the QUEEN of this. Has James been harping about being a straight shooter? I haven't noticed. Maybe because Vanessa says it 100000 times so I don't hear him. If Shelli/Clay try to come at him with that he should remind them about the deal they made with him/Meg/Jason. LOL. He and Vanessa last night must have said it to each other about a dozen times, maybe more. "I like you, you're a straight shooter like me." "Yeah, we're both straight shooters." Then Austin came in and possibly coached by Vanessa, started telling James how much he appreciated that James was a straight shooter. Again, I have absolutely zero problem with lying to people. That's perfectly acceptable, but lordy, quit it with the "I'm a straight shooter" stuff while doing it. And yes, Vanessa, too, she goes on and on about how much she hates liars while lying constantly. Link to comment

SiobhanJW July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Vanessa needs to just chill. Hopefully Austin and the twins can tell her to calm down. Them including Steve have her back. Clay and Shelli literally have no one. If she implodes this week she will be put up. She has just as much dirt on them as they do on her. She also has 4 people who can back up anything she says. Just breathe Vanessa. 2 Link to comment
Ceeg July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Shelli and Clay have JMac and Becky. But yeah, Vanessa has more people than Clay and Shelli do. Vanessa's big trump card should be that Shelli and Clay knew about the twins, including Julia's name, WAY before Austin told Jason about it. But, I'm not sure Vanessa would use that, since it reveals she knew as well. Link to comment
Donny Ketchum July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 (edited) Hours ago, Julia said that it was really stupid of Shelli to insist on a deal for Clay, too, during the HoH Competition. People don't usually do that in endurance comps, and it showed the entire house where her cards were. I really, really like Julia. Much smarter than Liz, even if she's not as competition-savvy as she is. Edited August 1, 2015 by Donny Ketchum 9 Link to comment
Callaphera July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 (edited) And we're back. Shelli is almost crying on Clay. Shelli: "I should have held onto that wall. I knew it." And confirmation that James made his nominations before Clay could go up and talk to him at the last minute. Brilliant move, BB! Edited July 31, 2015 by Callaphera 14 Link to comment

mooses July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Shelli told Clay she just doesn't want to be in the house without him! I don't understand how people get so attached after knowing each other for a month. Is Clay going to break Shelli's heart in real life, or vice versa? 3 Link to comment
Callaphera July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 (edited) Funny enough, Clay seems more ready to pop off and yell at someone than Shelli does. I didn't expect that. She was begging him not to lose his cool with James. Shelli refused to hug Vanessa after the ceremony. Heh. This is going to be a fun week. Edited July 31, 2015 by Callaphera 3 Link to comment
Donny Ketchum July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Clay apparently lost his cool for a moment after seeing that he was nominated. But it was while the feeds were still down. Clay and Shelli are gonna try and get James to backdoor Austin after the Veto is used, if it is. Not a bad plan, as the house still wants him gone, too. But will James do it? I think not. 5 Link to comment

SuzE July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Sweet, bold James. I love to see entitled people get their turn on the block. I hate it when the entitled ones expect everyone else to play the game for their benefit. It worked last season and made for really boring TV. 10 Link to comment
Donny Ketchum July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Clay went on a rampage, and Shelli had to talk him down before he went too far. James apparently said some things during his speech that drove a wedge between Clay/Shelli and Vanessa. Vanessa got mad that Shelli didn't hug her. Shelli got mad at Austin, Liz, and Julia for knowing, but not telling them. She asked them if they knew, just as they were asked last week. Shelli loudly declared the alliance over! Wow! Good stuff! Too bad I have to go mow the lawn now, but very good stuff! :) 10 Link to comment
mooses July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Vanessa's crying and upset because Shelli and Clay basically said it was her fault since she wanted Jason gone last week. Shelli is revising history, saying she hasn't trusted Austin and she knew they should have gotten him out once they put Jason up. Shelli told Clay he has to be careful because Vanessa gets too emotional, while Vanessa had the houseguests rallying around her outside. Still a long week to go, but hopefully Shelli and Clay just continue to lose allies. 3 Link to comment
Cutty July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Shelli is such an entitled brat she's blaming production. They went to noms before Clay could speak to James. You had all fucking day! Clay said he will use the POV on Shelli if he wins. What a friggin moron. I hate these two. 11 Link to comment
Callaphera July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 (edited) Shelli and Clay left their deathbed to find James so they could talk. Instead, they find everyone outside with Vanessa laughing and holding court while throwing Shelli and Clay under the bus. Shelli walks out with a fake smile while they all fall into an awkward silence. Shelli asks, "What are y'all talking about?" More silence and Vanessa refusing to look at her. When they show that on the broadcast show, I totally expect cricket noises there. Edited July 31, 2015 by Callaphera 10 Link to comment
RedheadZombie July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 I wonder if Austin was friends with Roddy "Rowdy" Piper, the pro wrestler who died suddenly today at the age of 61. That's so sad. I don't follow wrestling but I saw Roddy on "The Haunting of". The medium Kim Russo called him out for frequently sitting in front of his fireplace while contemplating suicide. He acknowledged it as true, and he was so honest and likable. Link to comment
Callaphera July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Vanessa is coaching the twins, after speaking with Austin about it, that all of them are going to "deny, deny, deny" that there was ever an alliance called Sixth Sense, because they're expecting Shelli and Clay to throw them all under the bus.

Cutty July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Clay just told James their word is gold. LOL. This guy is so detached from reality it's not even funny. Vanessa so concerned about Clelli exposing the Sixth Sense when nobody in the house even cares anymore. Link to comment

Lady Calypso July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 I actually think this is beautiful. James is giving solid reasons for putting them up (you guys are a power couple, I have to make moves for my game, this could be my last HOH so I gotta do what I gotta do, you'll choose each other over everyone) and Clay, in particular, still doesn't understand. Shelli's mostly staying silent but she's made a few comments here and there. Meanwhile, Clay is talking in circles and James seems to not care at all what he's saying to him. 8 Link to comment

I made myself read through this thread from this morning since I was gone all day and was spending the whole time catching up thinking to myself: 'don't get your hopes up, it's too perfect, he'll back out at the last minute and you'll be disapponted'. Only to get to here and see he actually did it. Bravo James! What a fantastic week of feeds we shall have! 6 Link to comment

What a waste of time and energy. They do realize there's nothing that's going to get them off the block except Veto, right? Link to comment
Callaphera August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 (edited) Clay keeps telling James that he and Shelli were never in any alliances. Nope. None. No alliances for Shelli and Clay. Shelli keeps telling James that this was bad timing to put them on the block together, because then one might go home and one will go to jury and the jury-bound one won't vote for him now if he ends up in Final 2. I hope whoever wins Veto doesn't use it. Shelli asked if there's any chance, if Veto saves one of them, can the other stay? James told him that if the house wants it, then the house wants it... but for the house to want it, Shelli and Clay are gonna have to do a lot of work. They're so screwed.

I never want another All-Stars season because you know he will be Grodner's pet. Pretty funny because all the houseguests are freaking out that Shelli and Clay are going to blow up their game. Vanessa touched based with Austin/Liz/Julia, JMac touched base with Austin, Jackie touched base with JMac (who I didn't know they were connected at all). Link to comment
Callaphera August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 Shelli seems to think that she can still hitch her wagon to Vanessa. Vanessa will come up with a plan to save us, Vanessa will know what to do. Maybe you should have thought about that before you refused to hug her after the nomination ceremony. Shelli also said that she doesn't want to be in the house without Clay or in the jury house without Clay. So... evict Clay and Shelli self-evicts to follow her son/brother/boyfriend? I could only wish. Vanessa is not having any of Shelli. I love this. 5 Link to comment
Starla August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 (edited) I see Jackie and Johnny Mac's mouths moving but hear nothing coming out. "I'm like, you know?" "Yeah I know." "But WTF?" "I don't know, you know?"

She reminds him that they were just as involved as Vanessa last week in switching the target to James, it is just that Vanessa had to pull the trigger. She laments that they ever veered from the plan to take out Austin. She's right, that was the first bad decision that started this whole string of bad decisions leading to this. 12 Link to comment

And this is why I vastly prefer Shelli to Clay; she does think rationally and knows when her game moves don't go according to plan. Clay, however, plays too emotionally and blames others for choices he's helped to make. Boy, bye. 8 Link to comment
Turtle August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 This is absolutely amazing. Clay and Shelli can't believe James doesn't think they're his best friends, and James is holding his own like a beast. He made a plan, he stuck to it, and he won't second-guess his decision at all. He's basically Bizarro Vanessa, and it's great. Vanessa spiraling and throwing Clelli under the bus hard. And meanwhile, Johnny Mac and Jackie having some great little game talk of their own. One HoH is so much more exciting than two. That said, I can understand Vanessa's frustration at BotB ending before they thought it would. I don't think she would have put up Jason had she known, because she literally did the math and figured there was a 6% chance that the other side won both HoHs and so it was worth the risk. The odds of ADC being HoH change dramatically without BotB and I don't think Vanessa was ready to draw this line in the sand yet. I'm not saying it's unfair or anything (I hate BotB and I am loving today's feeds, so I'm thrilled), I'm just saying I can understand why she's upset. 2 Link to comment

mooses August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 (edited) I love when Vanessa tells people to pull it together. Trying to slap some sense into Shelli. Shelli crying and telling Austin he better make it right because it's all his fault! She even gave him grief when he hesitated promising her his vote if Liz goes up after POV. I think she's going to try to keep Clay calm and not expose anything until after POV because she might need the S6. But she's waffling between sobbing and blaming everyone from Austin for saving himself, and Vanessa for forcing them to save Becky. Edited August 1, 2015 by mooses 6 Link to comment
Donny Ketchum August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 At least Shelli showed some self-awareness by admitting that James made a good move by putting them up. And she admitted that this must be how James, Jackie, Meg, and Jason all felt last week. You think, Shelli? 13 Link to comment

He's coming out with his "secret" of targeting Jackie, James, and Meg before the king and queen can throw him under the bus. 7 Link to comment
