Episode 7 Recap- Mama Demon and the Week From Hell

It’s been an eventful week 2! Players are getting played and targeted early as Shelli and Becky had obvious targets. So with Shelli wanting Day out, how will she secure it? Let’s find out!

We begin with the aftermath of the Battle of the Block. Things are going well for the official HoH Shelli. Becky barely got time to enjoy being the head of household. Becky thinks Shelli will do her dirty work but homegirl is gonna be shocked soon! Mama Day is still shocked she’s a target and thinks her awful strategy is the reason they lost. Nope! To celebrate not doing anything, John hugs Clay and Shelli and nows he’s golden in the Cougar and Golden Boy’s eyes. The way Shelli and Clay treat John is like a mob boss. Oh, and then they cuddle in bed and it’s weird. In the Have Not Room from Hell, Jason, James, and Meg chat about what could happen with the current chopping block. This is the Big Brother house and the walls are thin and Audrey is lurking, listening in. She hears the trios plans of hoping she gets backdoored. Cue the chaos! And then it’s time for the Twin Twist. Rather than sharing information, they FIGHT! Idiots. With the swap in action, New Liz is grossed out by the kitchen. And I would be too. Jason catches her but is too sleepy to notice who it is. We move into the Veto selection. Shelli draws Houseguests Choice and picks Clay. John selects Meg while Da’Vonne grabs Steve and not her ride or die Jason. If looks could kill! She pissed! Jackie is selected as host because she does absolutely nothing in this house. #floater Audrey corners Clay in the bathroom to discuss their allegiance. Thunderbuns reassures her that Da’Vonne is the target. James, who hates the Have Not room, is wearing his sunglasses and listening to Da’Vonne whine about her position, blaming everyone and everything for her demise. 

Twin Swap! 

It’s Veto Comp time and it’s another movie set. The players are forced to be interns and go head to head to collect Kathy’s assistant’s missing item. First up it’s John vs Da’Vonne, who is pissed. Kathy’s voice appears begging for items (including a framed picture of Jodi of BB14). Da'Vonne picks the wrong item, runs back for the right one as John finally figures out he needs to unicycle. John beats Da’Vonne, securing her demise. Steve battles Clay next. Clay, like a football player, secures the rubber ducky beating Steve. Meg chooses to battle Shelli because she wants to throw it. Shelli picks wrong and Meg is stuck to play again. John picks Meg and easily wins after grabbing the corn starch. It’s the Rock Doc vs Golden Boy. Who will prevail? It’s Johnny Mac! By winning, he’ll definitely take himself off. Mama Day thinks Audrey should go up. Shelli now has to find a replacement nominee. And the right one at that. 

Johnny Mac and his Veto

Shelli is now scrambling to figure out a way to get Da’Vonne out. Clay thinks John should save the veto. And while talking to him, the camera pans to John who looks like a 12 year old boy. Clay and Shelli pull Becky up to tell her she’s not picking Audrey. Becky is nervous about keeping Audrey because she’s unpredictable. They try to strike a deal so she’s not pissed. And it works! James, Jason, and Mama Demon are sad but the demon has been unleashed! They think Audrey has to go or it will be war. Vanessa, worried she may be a replacement, tries to ensure she’s not going up. Vanessa knows it has to be a girl to go up and they go through the list. Until the Rock Doc appears. Shelli proposes not using the veto to which he thinks is ridiculous. Clay tries to sway him but Johnny Mac becomes smart and says no. Austin makes a rare post-Jace appearance to also ensure he and Liz are safe. Shelli thinks Liz could be an option. Liz is terrified because she knows the stakes of the Twin Twist. Liz reluctantly agrees to be a pawn. Austin needs to ensure this doesn’t actually happen. 

It’s night time and the blowup giraffe is in the house. Oh and there is boy talk in Meg’s bed. Austin hears this 5 am pillow talk and uses it to his advantage. He convinces Vanessa to talk to Shelli about switching her pawn from Liz to Meg. Vanessa does his dirty work by twisting the truth. Shelli buys it and now realizes that a Meg vs Da’Vonne battle would ensure Day leaving. Audrey, alone in bed, talks to Clay and begins to backtrack into a near fight. It’s so ridiculous. #entitlement Clay tattles on Audrey to Shelli just so there’s some suspense. But alas there won’t be. John does his Veto ritual. He puts on the necklace. He looks at the memory wall. With the obvious about to come, it’s a matter of who will be John’s replacement. Will it be Liz? Or Audrey? Or Meg? Or a blindside edit? Nah. It’s totally Meg. Da’Vonne has the knowing look of defeat. Meg knew a pawn was necessary but she’s bummed it’s her. Shelly’s ultimate plan will follow through and she’s thrilled. The poker dealer claims you should always be team day because she’s gonna try to stay. 

The live episode is upon us and the last laugh twist will be determined. Who’s going to get it and will it have any sway on saving Da’Vonne? And who will be the next head on the chopping block? Will Audrey be next or will it all be determined by a random HOH twist? 

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!
