Big Brother 17 — Sorry, everyone…

Vanessa!!! I’m sick of her Clay and Shelli. This year I’m not to into it at all. the”other side”needs to get their act together.. but I have to watch….

Okay, here’s the deal. I’ve always loved Big Brother, but you are what makes Big Brother even more enjoyable. When the season starts, I can’t wait till I find your first blog post and I know the game is on. Heck, I’ve followed you on Facebook so I can stay in touch. Don’t ever change Lisa Marie, cause you are BIG BROTHER!!!!!

Yay Scott! I agree! 🙂

I like Becky but she’s not playing the game hard enough BUT she’s not the only one. Everyone should pull a ‘survivor’ and just vote for who they want for the rest of the game and completely ignore Shelley, Clay and Van. And if Van tries to bully them like she does… each one should just say You lied to US’ But someone would need to get the bunch of chickens together and chance getting ‘told on’ but there’s nothing to lose at this point.
?

OH..I forgot! I’d trim and shampoo Austin’s beard so everyone would learn to love it! LMAO!! 😉

I’ve sat here and tried to do the math (and math was never my best subject!!), and it
looks to me as if it could be too late for the other part of the house to make any changes without someone from the other side defecting. Van, Shelli, and Clay seem to be solid for now. Austin and the twins seem to be in the same camp with the above three (for now). That leaves Jackie, James (?), Becky John, and Meg after the eviction. If one of them wins HOH and puts up two from the Van, Shelli, or Clay team, that would still leave four to vote
and fight to take one of them off the block (not counting Steve who is secretly aligned
with Van). But even if it came down to a tie vote and had to be settled by the HOH’s vote,
they could get only one of whom many think of as “the terrible three” to be evicted. That
would probably unite the V-S-C side of the house to fight even harder to win the next HOH.
But if Van was the one to be evicted, then Steve might defect to Jackie’s side of the house.
(I don’t think even Steve knows what he’s going to do from one moment to the next.)

Right now, I think the losing side of the house has been brainwashed into believing they
CAN’T win a comp that counts. But they are really PO’d about Austin staying and Jason leaving. That may be the key that frees them from the blind stupor that seems to have them in its merciless grip. Anger can be a powerful motive and incentive. And the double eviction could be the “miracle”(some have been waiting for with baited breath) that will provide an exchange of power in this lackluster group of players.

The problem is…..we are not sure of any particular outcome with this group. We watch
because we love the blog and hope for something earth-shattering to catch our attention and give us hope that this season will not go to the very end as the sleeper it now seems
to be. I think we might be surprised. John, Meg, or Jackie might show some promise in
the next HOH comp!!! But then I believe it will will rain tomorrow, too.

@Robert
Don’t find Austin entertaining but rather dumb

Painting nails and having tattoos doesn’t change his personality

Yawnnnnn

It’s disappointing that Jason, who is supposed to be such a fan, can’t figure out that he only needs 2 more votes to stay. All he has to do is flip Liz & Austin. I don’t understand why he can’t convince them to form an alliance with Meg, Jason, James, & himself. Then, like magic, they’d be running the show instead of Vanessa & Clelli. I’m sure Jackie would flip to their side pretty darn quick, too.

Apparently, being a “super fan” just means knowing all about who did what in each of the past seasons – not how to manipulate other people & shift power around. I guess that’s why they’re “super fans” and not “super players.”

Quote by Robert Burns

LOL Astra… it’d take you and an army to hold him down. I just don’t know if Liz doesn’t ask him because to Him..it might mean their married now or what…’ snicker’

Deb..trying to copy but am on a small tablet…I have a ‘tori’ right where I need one implant IF I have enough bone and its a four tooth bridge so need two..I hope no more. Am more worried over how to pay for it as much as everything else… will find out what new dr says tomorrow… if I don’t knock myself out …i’ll tell you. You email me ok? tendr247@yahoo.com…….not sorry for getting off subject. ???????

jason hasn’t done much except smoke cigarettes he’s got to be a chain smoker I don’t know where he put all those packs of cigarettes I’ll bet that you guys would be forgiving Austin if he only look like clay.I’m not thinking Jason could ever win a comp.even if big brother set it up for him to win.wouldn’t we like to be entertained the rest of the season.

Lisa..for sure you make this blog great!

Maybe a plane will fly over the house with a banner!
Never know!

SIGH. I miss Dr. WILL AND DAN, and Rachel too. Even with all her whining, it was more interested than this group of sheep. I’m hoping Liz and twin will shake things up

Wow Carolyn, that’s exactly what needs to happen. I’ve only watched the 1st hour of BBAD and didn’t catch it so I guess it’s in the last couple hours. That does seem very odd that all of the sudden Jason would know she’s a pro poker player. Information like that needed to come out weeks ago. I just mentioned the exact same scenario a couple days ago on here, saying that would be a huge dose of karma to Vanessa if it happened.

It’s going to be great when the twins come in Thursday and Julia acts as the buffer between Liz and Austin. I see multiple entertaining arguments with Austin getting the short end of the stick every time. You think he’s been acting like a teenage boy thus far, just wait until Julia enters the picture.

Yes love to read your Blog What is wrong with this house my gosh I thought they came to play BB they are letting the wrong people run the house.
Jason is the only one who really knows this game.
Steve is just the gopher for the mommy and big sister team
If their was a BB God they would turn on Van and keep Jason
J Mac is just floating along with the rest of the now owning the HOH room crowd.
When is he going to make a move and play the game not throw comps. You to James your all talk and no walk Hope things change on Thursday and the minions get the win for HOH

Thanks for the write up Lisa! I think the only one I like is John ?…….. See you soon! ……………………….

Jason has done no campaigning to stay.. Nothing! He’s resigned to leave! This has sparked Meg to FINALLY play! I wasn’t a fan of Jackie but like her now. She’s getting the weak side together and is targeting Shlay!!! Could get interesting! I like Becky but find Jason way more entertaining! For being a huge fan though, he’s definitely not playing the game. These kids act like they’re at summer camp!

Do you think Vanessa can take that damn hat off her head. I can’t even look at her.

Your blog is the only good thing about this season. I’ve had it.
Linda, I LOL’d for reals at your Vanessa comment. Her whole “urban style” is driving me nuts!

BUT this season is much better then last. These people are young and just aren’t playing the game but nothing like the morons last year!!!

Jadeangel, I agree with you! As bad as this year is turning out, I hope BB never, ever has a bunch of perverts like last season. I really wish Jason would tell the HG’s what he knows about Vanessa. I think that could be a real game changer! I think even Clay and Shelli would think twice about taking her with them to the end. I would love for John to get HOH just to see if he would cause a real upset! I get frustrated with all of the Kool Aid drinkers in the house. Didn’t they all have some knowledge of what happens to the weak players? They keep them as pawns for awhile and then pick them off one by one until all that’s left are the strong players (or the lucky ones who haven’t rattled the cage!) Well, that’s my point of view! Have a good day everyone. Looking forward to tonight, but really looking forward to tomorrow! Later! 😎 😉

How did Jason find out that Vanessa is a poker player? I hope he stays, Becky is such a bore and brings nothing to the table, except she is not a superfan. I loved when she was talking on how she watched old episodes of BB all the time. What a sleeper and a repeater when she talks. You know if Jason goes he is going to blow up Vanessa’s game. I still don’t know why Van did not nominate Austin. You know the twins will be gone pretty quick. James can’t keep his mouth shut. What ever anyone tells him he runs to the HOH and tells them just like a little kid. I was watching Jason chomp on that apple last night on BBAD and I could not wait for him to finish it. I do not like it when the camera shows them eating and the noise they make. It will be interesting to see who wins HOH and Vanessa is one big hypocrite for I don’t like people who lie to me. She has to go!

Pretty boring in BB land, IMO. I don’t mind Clay, really, but Shelli (the entitled) and Vanessa (the bully) have some kind of voodoo hold on these people. PLEASE, The Other Side, wake up & PLAY … you’re being played!

Only houseguest I feel any affection for is Johnny Mac. Same for my husband. The others are boring lemmings. I’m sick of the buzz words: “backdoor”, “blood on my hands,” … you know.

Sick of Battle of the Block. Please, BB, find a better formula. You’re BORING us to death. Just watching once a week is going to be adequate.

Thanks for the blog … it’s the only thing to keep one going with this program!

@Carolyn D – I went to look for and found the script of Jason telling Becky about Vanessa but there was so little emphasis, elaboration of any kind by either one of them. It makes me wonder…did he just make a casual comment that oddly hit on that idea (like one chance in a million) or does he really KNOW that she is a poker player? Maybe the script I read was lacking in detail and if I’d actually heard the conversation the BBAD I’d have my answer. And please don’t think that I am doubting you. I have really big questions why this has not been revealed before and why nobody has talked about it. @wingnut17 – Agreeing with your question, how did Jason find out? Being the DR is the SILENT player in all this, fully manipulating events, did they reveal it in a DR session? Makes me wonder….humm

I don’t know how he found out . Maybe speculation on his part. He mentioned Van offered to help him (financially??) after the game. I am suffering from BB overload since I have been watching the live feeds this year, BBAD and reading Joker’s and two different blogs. I may be dreaming this for sure.

Jeanne: Good for you, Fair Lady!! I’m 69 and sometimes feel 99, but others feel like
I’m still 18 (at least mentally on a good day!) I agree, there are a lot of things we older
folks have in the way of talents that are quickly becoming extinct talents. Fried chicken,
pie baking, and old time values are getting harder to find every day. I realize values change
with different generations, but sometimes ignoring or ridiculing our generation is a loss
on their part. We still have value!!

Yay sherry! Truer words were never spoken! 😎
I really agree with you 100% 😉

From what I understand, Jason either surmised that Van was a poker player through quiet observation(which he is so good at) or he knew from the git go and just didn’t share, which i doubt. He is SO good at WATCHING the game! Unfortunately, you have to do more than that once you are IN the house! Apparently being being a Super Fan doesn’t translate to being a Super Player!!

I did hear that his side was on the move to get him saved. They were supposed to be talking to the HGS trying to get either C&S or John and I think Steve to be the last 2 vote he needs to stay. But it seemed every time I checked the LFS today, they were all napping in the Purple room!!! way to Save a Life, guys!!

Just some simple observations about this weird season:
–I hadn’t seen or heard from or about John until last night when he was spotted playing chess with Van. WTH has he been the last week????
–No one is playing pool this season! there are no real GUY guys in the house!! Jeff used to play with Austin, but ever since he left, Austin is attached to Liz at the..well, wherever he can !!lol All he HGS are in 2’s and most just lay around snuggling, napping or giggling. UGH!! I can’t believe BB is letting them get away with this so that the LFers and BBAD watchers have ZIP!!!
–No one had even played chess until last night!!(that I had seen)
–I don’t care how much anyone hated Frankie..he was entertaining!! Everyone on here seems to hate last season but I thought it was brilliant! Frankie with his *celeb* status, Christine and Cody and their *affair*, Zankie, Derrick and alliance with Cody and 2nd aliance with Victoria, caleb and his school boy crush on Brittany…the list of things to talk about go on!!! Everyone is snoozing thru this year..including the HGS!!!!lol

That’s all I got!! enjoy the show!!!! 😉

I have nothing! Getting ready to watch show that I DVR’D so I can fast forward thru boorriinngg parts! Later! 😎

@ Junksies…..Agree 100%..as usual!! 😉

I think Jason was thrilled to be there but that he also really needed the money!! So why he didn’t play is beyond me! Maybe he thought he could float his way thru!! That usually only works if you have a strong player helping you.

Nothing was disclosed tonight! It’s such old hat on Wed as we all have known everything they show since last Sat!!!!! I never understood why they switched it from Tues to Wed nite. Going from Sun to Wed, when those are the down days anyway, is so hard!!! I’m surprised that those only watching the show even remember WTH is going on!!lol And waht show does CBS have on Tues nite that is so important…oh wait…CSI!!! UGH> Not a fan but it must e the reason why they can’t have BB on in that time slot!! So once again, TV Politics affects the viewers. Nice. Sometimes I think that CBS thinks BB fans are really stupid. We stay thru bad schedule changes, horrible HGS, dumb ass twists……maybe they;re right. We MUST be stupid to put up with this! Especially when we get so little in return anymore!

I love the Xerox comment! Grandchildren are such wonderful gifts from God.
They give our lives meaning when we are beginning to think we are no longer
needed as much. The joy we see on little faces when they eat our old fashioned
cooking is priceless and worth more than words can say. And their is nothing
more precious than little arms raised upwards and little legs pumping as fast
as they can function to reach us. Then they grow up too fast, and we once again
realize we’ve served our purpose and are no longer quite as necessary to them,
either. And we once again feel the emptiness in arms that once held them so ten-
derly and with so much love.

But no one can take away the memories they’ve given us to fill our hearts and minds during times when we feel our years weighting us down and our existence a little more isolated with each passing day. This is something no one understands until they take that journey themselves, So if our children aren’t able to understand how we can become so
involved with a television show and friends we’ve made on a blog, we smile inwardly
and say to ourselves, “Hang on dear ones. One day you will. One day you’ll walk in our footsteps and maybe along the way, if you’re wise enough, you’ll listen to an older person’s
wisdom obtained through experience and be in awe as to how smart we suddenly
became in your opinion. Smile.

Feeling frustrated. Always straining to HEAR when I have the live feeds on. And yes, my volume is up all the way and I can hear other shows fine but I miss so much of what is being said on the BB feeds. actually sometimes find myself holding my laptop up to my ear! which is bit ridiculous.
somewhere I have some speakers but can’t seem to find them. so it’s like watching a silent movie most of the time. I catch bits and pieces but miss way too much.
anyone else??

Jolee, I hate to admit this in this age of electronic wonders, but I don’t hae a Kindle. I
still prefer the tangible book. My phone is a flip, track phone. I still have a VHS player
and a DVD player. I am in the process of finishing up three novels at different stages,
one almost ready for publication and am an artist who has two commissioned paintings
waiting for my final touches. But it’s been too hot and am too busy to finish any of these.
I am giving up my art studio to move into a smaller house. Will have to set up in one
side of double garage. Will have to see how that works out. Hoping to be moved in by
the end of August. Trying to do everything by yourself is time consuming and extremely
frustrating. Thank God for BB (boring and frustrating as it has been) this summer of such
hot temps and constant packing.
So honey, the apps thing is above my pay grade and electronical knowledge. Sorry. But
thanks so much for thinking of me. I was one of those electronical geniuses who never
learned how to stop the blinking light on my cable box clock!!!!

jolee, you just made my day! I love that we have so many things in common. I would
love to keep in contact with you after the show is over. My e-mail is:
sherryhe23@sbcglobal.net. It is about the only thing that won’t be changing with my
new move. (New address and phone number. New electric company and water company.)

I’m wondering if tonight Julie will announce they are going back to one HOH. It would
make things so much more interesting, I think. I am so tired of BOTB. It gets confusing,
too, when there are four put up for eviction nominees. Pawns have been done and done
and done. Now some of them are finally realizing it has come to the point in the game
when they are going to have to make more difficult decisions and more red lines in the
sand will have to be drawn. (But we have become immune to red lines. They don’t seem
to mean as much as they did a few years back.)

For those who came into the house and believe they have such wonderful friendships
to fall back on, it is going to be an actual shock to discover friendships are not cemented in stone when it comes to BB and $500,000 is at stake. It’s a game, people. Start playing it for real.
