Episode 4- Cue the Paranoia

For those live feeders, SHIT IS GETTIN’ CRA! I’ll keep those spoilers away from the recaps but if you want some good drama in the early stages of the game, get thee to the feeds! Anyway, the night begins with Steve bummed he lost BoB. The Rock Doc, who calls it the Bob Competition, is thrilled he’s safe and not going home. James and Jason do some math to figure out how many votes it will take to backdoor Jace. They need 7 votes to secure him leaving. James goes to Meg-lor Swift to vote Jace out. He then goes to country boy Clay, looking fine in a cowboy hat, to join Team Jace ouster. The new alliance of James, Jason, Clay, Meg, Audrey, and Da’Vonne meet in the HOH room to discuss their new plan to oust Jace. After the meeting, Clay helps Steve lift weights while Jace goes…streaking. No laughs. Mortification. Austin is pissed because he’s associated with the Jac-ass. Austin is on the pulse of Jace being the target. Jace goes up to James, with lurking Audrey, to find out where his head’s at. Austin arrives to try tell him a big move is a bad idea. And then Audrey starts stirring the shit. She throws out the idea of backdooring the other HOH, deflecting all drama from her. They sell him what he wants to hear which is that they are now in a clearly fake alliance called Cloudtown. Jace, enough with the towns! No one should be allowed to be any town in the BB house! 

It’s time to pick players for the Veto comp. Six players play. The HOH, the 2 nominees, and whoever gets drawn out of the bag. James picks Becky’s chip. Jackie picks John’s chip. Steve picks Houseguests choice and picks Jason. Why? Because he thinks it will help him in the future. Austin is selected to be the host…and of course Jace makes it about himself. Da’Vonne lurks around the house counting everything she can count knowing there will be a counting competition at some point. Jeff gets weirded out Da’Vonne walks into his “room”, or creeping as we call it. Da’Vonne is mad at Jeff and Clay only by association. Mama Da and Jeff have a conversation that should be damage control but leads to her basically calling out Clay. And then Jeff, of course, goes to Clay. Clay is now pissed at Da’Vonne. Who knows how long time has passed before Clay approaches Da’Vonne. And we get our first big blowup of the season! It’s quite silly actually but proves neither can trust each other. And already an alliance is crumbling. Da’Vonne then goes off on Clay to Audrey, who sits there smiling like the Cheshire Cat. Audrey, now joining Team Paranoia, thinks Da’Vonne is a liability. Audrey convinces Clay to apologize to Da. And rather than letting them talking on their own, Audrey lurks, again. When the hug it out, Da’Vonne gives a sinister look to the camera. Bitch be playin! Now she’s pissed at Audrey! Loose cannon time!

It’s time for the HOH to pick the first four have-nots of the summer. So who’s getting slop, cold showers, and a bad bed? The four safe ones. Liz, Austin, Vanessa, and Da’Vonne get the punishment. They enter the Have Not room to discover it looks like a Dentist’s office. It’s terrifying. Even Johnny Mac hates it! Good luck! Austin pops out of the Diary Room to get ready for the Veto comp. The backyard looks like the great outdoors. In “Nose-ascotia”, the houseguests must dig for gold nuggets and spell a word with the letters on their nuggets. They have 10 minutes to find the nuggets and lock in a word. The word with the highest value wins POV. It’s a dirty comp indeed with so many gold diggers. Get it? It’s a nose pun. Steve rips off his bandaids which reminds Meg of the community pool. And we get to see Meg and her acting skills. John locks in first followed by James. With a minute left, Steve locks in with Becky, James, and Jackie following suite. James spells Lifeguards for 8 points. Becky spells closest for 7 points. Jason spells zones for 6 points. Jackie spells judge for 6 points. Steve spells trombonists for 12 points. The Rock Doc spells boogers for 7 points. BOOGERS?! How fitting. Well, Steve wins and it’s certain he’ll take himself off the block allowing the backdoor plan to happen. 

Steve's "people" leads to his winning POV word

Steve, still going on about how trombonists are his people, is excited and finally in game mode, hyperventilating in the storage room. It’s nighttime and Audrey is paranoid about the alliance. She pulls Shelli from bed to drag her into the alliance. Comparing herself to the sandman, she snags Jeff next, taking him away from pillow talk with Meg. At 5 in the morning this all takes place. I repeat, these people are awake at 5 in the morning. Jeff is not thrilled about this little charade questioning what the point of this is to which James quotes Keith Nale by saying “stick to the plan.” It makes sense. Hillbilly talk. Meg and Clay get pulled out of bed, clearly too tired for this stupid club. Audrey must not be able to sleep because she is perky compared to everyone else. With everyone now wearly of Audrey, James puts her name on the chopping block. 

With paranoia all over the place, with the exception of the only one who should be paranoid, it’s Steve’s turn to have power. Knowing Steve will pull himself off, will James stick to the plan? Or will Audrey find herself blindsided. Steve does in fact use the veto on himself. James has to name a new houseguest to replace Steve. James tries to make it appear that he came up with the decision on his own, he nominates Jace, saving the alliance. Jace is PISSED, as is Austin. Jackie is thrilled because she knows she’s still a pawn. 

Who will be evicted from the Big Brother House? Plus who the fuck is the twin? #lizjulie Oh, and who’s ready for Kathy Griffin and whatever takeover she could possibly have? This will be good!
