Episode 10 Recap- The Not So Amazing Jeff

The foam party ends and things are back to reality. Johnny Mac asks Vanessa if James threw the comp but in reality, he just sucked. James blames his suckiness on sexism because girls and patterns. Ok. You dumb. With James believing that Audrey is the backdoor target, he thinks he’s pretty safe this week. Golden Boy and his crazy socks arrives in the HOH room to discuss the official target with Vanessa. Her hopes is that she can keep the nominations the same so James can go home. Austin, still wants Jeff gone. The twins swap and they still whine. Liz complains that Julia is not her. Bubbly! Oh and COVER THE TOOTH! I sense a plot line to come! Audrey brings herself up to question Vanessa to ensure she’s safe. Vanessa and Austin ensure she’s safe. The fish fry is focused on Jeff and James because the longer Audrey stays, the bigger her target remains.

Gronk's Veto Challenge

Jeff brings himself up to hang with his bro Austin. Jeff thinks they’re tight and Austin is totes gunning for Shelli and Liz. Austin lets Jeff run his mouth because, well, he’s a moron. It’s veto comp selection. Before Vanessa pulls her chip we get a glimpse of Trainwreck Becky! AHHH! Welcome back girl! So Vanessa grabs Shelli. Johnny Mac gets houseguests choice and picks Austin. Smart move my man. James pulls his worst fears and takes Audrey. Jason is mortified. AHHHHH! Vanessa wants Audrey to win so the nominees stay the same. Oh this will be a good comp! Audrey comes up to the HOH room because girl loves the drama. Audrey is ecstatic. The POV challenge arrives and it’s the dice game from seasons of yore. Oh wait, who’s hosting the POV? It’s Becky! Now she speaks! Congrats Trainwreck! In Gronk and Roll, the players get in the dice and must roll their die back to their platform with the correct number facing up. Vanessa, poker diva herself, challenges Audrey with the number 2. Vanessa plays real bad and makes it appear that the die is hard to move allowing Audrey to win. John challenges Audrey. Uh oh. The number is 3 and John is rockin’ easily beating Audrey. James is up and takes on Goliath himself, Austin. James is just rolling while Austin looks like an animal but it’s the animal who beats the Hillbilly. Shelli is up next and challenges Goliath. The number is 4 and Austin frogs to victory. It’s now down to the finals between Austin and John. Rock Doc vs Judas. Who will it be first to 1? It’s the Rock Doc Pawn Master winning Veto AGAIN. I have to say, John in the Diary Room sessions are like a college kid on drugs. Wild, crazy, and uncomfortable to watch. And at this rate, Johnny Mac will be here to stay for a long time.

John celebrates his victory by falling into bed and listening to James. He knows how ridiculous he sounds as he says he feels safe. But now with Veto in his hands, Vanessa is screwed. And thinks Austin may have thrown the competition. They spat and Austin backtracks. Their fight goes in circles as they both think they’re right while clearly it’s Vanessa since we already learned via the DR that Austin kinda maybe threw it. 

Gronk's Shower Party

It’s time for Gronk’s first official party. So anytime Gronk calls a party, if you don’t show up, you get a party fowl and become a have not. Shelli is WAY too excited. The first party is a living room toga party. It’s not very killer. Next up is a pool party. And then a shower party? Huh? Uhhhh…ok. And then we get a New Year’s Eve Party which means KISSES! It’s cute until Clay and James kiss…and then any dream of kissing Clay is ruined. Oh man. Another? Costume party. And then we get a montage, thankfully, to spare us. Parties when you’re sleepin, parties when you’re cookin’, party to limbo and conga, and of course a hot tub party. Those parties sure are exhausting! No time for strategy? Psssh. It’s Vanessa and Jeff talk time! Vanessa claims she’s struggling on what to do. She uses the “Audrey’s cause” excuse. Jeff tries to convince her that Audrey really is the appropriate target as she is the source of all dramz. Jeff goes around and whines about the lack of Audrey going up. And of course he shoots himself in the foot by spilling his guts with Clay around. Jeff even asks Austin what her deal is. Jason catches on to Austin’s plan of working with Vanessa. Jeff, on his reign of uh oh, continues to try to sway Golden Boy away from Austin. Jeff, you are awful at this game. Go back to running around the globe. Clay goes right to Austin who goes to Vanessa who come up with the plan of giving her a reason to nominate Jeff. Operation Expose Jeff! Austin immediately approaches him in front of Shelli and Clay. Smart move! He claims that he told him that he can’t trust Clalli. Dramz! Austin then pulls Vanessa into the room. Vanessa calls him out and they go at it! Fate sealed. Jeff, sayonara. The BBTakeover music arrives and Gronk returns. Anyone who won a competition this week gets to play in a competition to win a Gronk cruise. Jason, John, Meg, Vanessa, and Austin get to play the first luxury comp! All ya gotta do is select a cup and chug! Simple. And the winner is Meg! She gets to travel with Gronk and his family on a party ship. Good luck darling. Don’t celebrate too long because it’s Veto meeting time. With John inevitably taking himself off, it’s inevitable that…wait. Gronk party? Way to be a buzz kill Gronk! The party’s over for Jeff as he gets to be John’s replacement on the block. It’s now Jeff vs James and things couldn’t be any worse for that alliance. Jeff isn’t buying it beyond being Audrey’s puppet. Austin is thrilled as he is bloodless. And Audrey is shocked she is still alive. 

The battle is on. James may actually have a reason to feel safe with Jeff sitting next to him. Will Jeff have an amazing time going home? And what will the next BB Takeover be hosted by? Cross your fingers it’s someone good! 

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! 

#shade

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!
