It’s the first time I’ve really watched the title sequence. Splish splash. Summer fun. We join the houseguest after the BoB competition. Dr John is stoked to be safe (along with Becky). Steve is nervous that he and Jackie lost and are still on the block. James and Jason immediately start plotting how to backdoor Jase. They figure they need at least 7 votes to get him out. James thinks he has an alliance with Jason, Audrey and Day. He wants to add Meg because he thinks she looks like Taylor Swift. I don’t see it at all but I’m not looking that hard. Next, James wants Clay because he thinks he can trust a country boy from Texas. Clay is down with that group but he knows you need to keep your alliance small (big groups always fraction). They have their first alliance meeting. In her talking head, Day acknowledges that this group temporary for her but she wants some of them for her core alliance. She knows the large group won’t last. The group works on the plan to backdoor Jase.
Jase streaks through the backyard because he is an idiot. Vanessa explains he didn’t get the excited reaction he wanted. Crickets. Even Austin thinks he needs to chill out (Shell Town). He warns Jase that people are annoyed by him so Jase goes to talk to HoH James. Audrey joins them because Audrey. Austin joins because Audrey. Jase explains to Austin that he and James are talking about backdooring a big target. He’s not wrong about that. Audrey throws out former HoH Jason as a possibility just to keep Jase off the scent of the true plan. Jase and Austin decide the four of them have an alliance and immediately want to name it. Jase throws out Cloud 9 alliance. Or Cloud Squad. But their favorite is Cloud Town. James and Audrey don’t even react but Jase doesn’t notice. He’s too busy creating a stupid dance move for Cloud Town.
The house meets to pick names to compete in the Veto competition. James hopes that neither Jase nor Austin gets to play. James starts by picking Becky. Jackie picks John. Steve gets houseguest’s choice. He picks Jason as a way to bond with him. James chooses Austin (in his Judas hat) to host the competition. Austin and Jase celebrate like they won veto. Everyone laughs at them, not with them. James is disgusted by their immaturity.
Day knows that at some point there will be a counting competition so she’s walking around counting things in the house. Jeff notices her go into his room and gets nervous. He tells Clay and Shelli and they tell him to check it out. He confronts Day and asks her what she’s doing creeping in his room. Day doesn’t take kindly to that. She tells Jeff that whoever sent him to check on her can ask her themselves. Day is pissed. She’s pissed at Jeff for acting like she didn’t have a right to be in that room and she’s pissed at Clay for sending Jeff to do his dirty work. Day goes to the HoH room to bitch to Jason and Audrey. She’s not sure she can trust Clay in her alliance anymore. Jeff goes to the HoH room to apologize but ends up saying that Day going into his room was creepy. Day tells him she can go wherever she wants. They make up but Day is clear that she’s still pissed at the people who sent him to question her. “I heard.” After he leaves, Day admits she knows it wasn’t a real apology, just damage control.
Jeff runs directly to Clay to blab. Clay marches into the HoH room to do his own damage control. “Whats going on?” he demanded. Day rightly gives him attitude. Clay’s “apology” is pretty aggressive and Day isn’t taking any of his shit. She keeps making the point that she’s pissed at “whoever sent John in there.” Ie: Clay and Shelly. Clay gets all confused and finally admits Day is right. After he leaves it’s obvious Day is even more pissed. Audrey makes things worse by running to Clay, telling him to apologize again (because, Audrey). Clay gives a pretty sincere fake apology. Day pretends to accept it. After he leaves, Day turns to the camera and tells us that she knows Audrey made that happen because Audrey is trying to be the puppet master. Day wins this episode, for sure. I’d like to see her win but she’s too dangerous to keep around for long.
Have Nots
The houseguests go into the kitchen to find a big pot of slop. HoH James has to pick Have Nots to be on slop, take cold showers and sleep in the Have Not room for a week. He chooses the people who got the Fast Forward pass: Vanessa, Day, Liz and Austin. They taste the slop and then check out the Have Not room. It’s a dentist office! Dr John is horrified. They have to sleep in dentist chairs with spitoons. The decor is Venus Flytraps and X-ray machines. They get one small pillow and an airplane blanket. Not very comfortable.
Veto Competition
The backyard is covered in mountains and streams and huge noses. The houseguests playing in the Veto competition are dressed as gold miners in jorts, suspenders and bandanas. Austin explains that they’ll be playing Nose-a-Scotia. The huge noses are filled with mud and gold nuggets that have letters and point values on them. Houseguests must search through the mud and collect gold nuggets which they use to spell a word. Whoever correctly spells the word with highest point value wins. In years past this game has always been based on correctly spelling the longest word. It’s interesting that they added an element of scrabble with point values this year.
The houseguests start manickly pawing through mud to find gold nuggets. Austin calls them golddiggers. Steve is grabbing as many letters as he can find without knowing what to spell. About halfway through he figures out the word he wants and starts getting specific. Dr John makes a lame joke about dentist always seeing up people’s noses. Steve’s bandaid is falling off and it’s grossing out Meg. Jason wants to win but if he can’t he hopes hopes James does so the backdoor plan happens. Jackie keeps finding Q’s. First to ring in is Dr John followed closely by James. Austin is rooting for James because he thinks James is planning to backdoor Jason. Austin announces they have one minute left. Steve wants more letters but doesn’t want to run out of time so he locks his word in. Finally Becky, Jason and Jackie lock their words in and it’s time to see what everyone spelled.
James spells Lifeguards for eight points. Becky spells Closest for seven points which is less than James so she’s out. Jason spells Zones for six points so he is out too. Jackie spells Judge but her six points aren’t enough to beat James. Steve needs nine points to win. He spells Trombonists for twelve points. Beautiful! That’s the best word I’ve ever seen in one of these spelling comps. I heart Steve. The only remaining houseguest is Dr John who spells Boogers. He made a funny but he only gets seven points so Steve wins. Becky points out that this might be the first time houseguests spelled all their words right.
Audrey decides she needs to lock down her alliance. James is confused why Audrey thinks she’s in charge. Audrey goes into darkened bedrooms, waking people up and asks Shelli to join her in the HoH room. Without asking anyone in her alliance if it’s ok, she asks Shelli to join the alliance. Audrey then goes back to the bedrooms and tries to grab Jeff. He’s wooing Meg (probably both romantically and game-wise) so he’s pretty annoyed at the interruption. When he finally joins her in the HoH room, Audrey invites him into the alliance. James is wondering how many people Audrey plans to have in her alliance. But she’s not done yet. She grabs Clay and then she grabs Meg. Everyone is tired and annoyed that Audrey is being so dramatic. Audrey makes a big speech about “everyone being on the same page” and they all look at her like, “Okay, crazy lady.” Audrey’s alliance is James, Jason, Jeff, Clay, Shelli and Meg. Half of the house. And she was ridiculously obvious about collecting people. Alliances are supposed to be small and secret. Audrey is an idiot.
Veto Meeting
The house gathers for the Veto meeting. Audrey hopes James will put up Jase. Jase thinks James is putting up Jason. Steve, of course, uses the Veto on himself so James has to put up a replacement nominee. He makes a speech about how much he respects everyone as players and says that he alone made the decision. He nominates Jase and Jase is completely stunned. Like mouth open stunned. Audrey smirks. Austin feels totally blindsighted too. Jackie feels comfortable being the pawn but knows she has to make sure everyone follows the plan. Audrey is patting herself on the back. In the diary room, Jase alternates between tears and fury.
Thursday: The twin twist will be revealed (to us) and Kathy Griffin takes over the game for a new twist.
Thank you for the great recap! I am looking forward to Jase going home. I want to slap the shit out of Jase for the way he talked to Steve. I also don’t like Clay or Jeff. They are the 3 biggest pricks in the house. I enjoy watching Day and Jason.
I am SO happy to see this recap! We had a couple of tornadoes here in KC last night, so I missed both BB AND Master Chef.
Great job! Thanks!
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
It just occurred to me that on TAR which this week’s twist is based on, THEY HAVE NONELIMINATION WEEKS!
Excuse me now as I weep gently for my lack of a life next week as we go through ANOTHER WEEK OF THE SAME SHIT!
Yeah I’ve read speculation about that. I will be pissed if that happens, but if it saves Jace (only to keep the house poppin’ & for him to continue making an ass out of himself which is highly entertaining) I’m okay with that. His idiocy gives me the giggles when I’m not pissed off at him.
Another week of Jace & Audrey? Ugh.
I’ve been thinking about a Survivor Twist. Survivor has had BB people on the show. What if they have Jeff Probst one week as the twist master and introduce a Redemption Island like twist? You’re voted out, kept in seclusion,m another one or two HGs are added and they need to win a challenge to renter the game. The ones that lose can then go home.
I don’t have the feeds but keep up with live updates. I think Lady Cocotte mentioned that Dr John seems spacey at times, doesn’t recall things? Could it be he is a twin and is purposely acting flaky so he won’t be exposed? Probably not. I’m never right on my guesses.
I used to get the feeds and got totally sucked into the vortex. It was horrid. I didn’t want to leave the house, something might Happen!!! I could miss something! I had to plan my day around BBtime sleeping hours, orthursdays during an HOH lockdown with a feed block. Any feed block was a way out but it had to be fast, just in case.
TT, your schedule must be all turned around. Sleeping, recapping, Tea, Banjo and tomato time must be screwed up. Hope Banjo has adjusted.
Thanks for the recaps and updates…..so appreciated.
I definitely think Dr John is a 2nd twin twist. One of them shouts & reads lips, the other doesn’t. I almost specified which Dr John was on screen during my recap but I was skirred TT would get mad. You’re the first person to agree with me, deco. I’m so glad I’m not alone… >
I’ve noticed a difference too.. Sometimes he’s talks yelly and spazzy like Bobcat Goldthwait, other moments he’s calmer and almost seems like he can’t find his words.
I notice that I do not hate him most of the time. Which is odd because he was so horrible in his interviews.
He is PLAYING this game right now. He is a superfan and pretending like he doesn’t know how the game works. I’m listening to him talk to Day right after the BoB which he threw for her (I think they played the BoB right after noms. I;m not sure yet…. I was up until 5 waiting for them to come back but couldn’t make it. I have got to get back on an East Coast schedule!
Anyway, JohnnyMack is playing a good game, everyone trusts him and I am not sure he is really loyal to any of them. Day thinks they are aligned and Clay and Shelli think they are aligned with him and Clay/Shelli is coming after Day/Jason.

Though Jace’s personality & game play is a steaming pile of donkey shit, I still wish the HG would make a smarter less emotional decision and evict Jackie.
She came into the house as a PAIR w/ Jeff. They are a 2 vote block that need to be disbanded. She is gonna be harder to get out.
Everyone wants Jace out now, so what’s gonna change next week? They can get him out next week. He’s still gonna be an asshole and will always be a target.
For the record Jace’s bullying & intimidation of Steve in the Hammock Lounge Room was the most infuriating confrontation I have ever seen on BB. I was spitting and hissing mad when I watched that. I know if I was Steve my reaction would have been different.
Today I am sick in bed with the cooties, and there are no feeds to watch now that I have a little free time to watch. #FML
PS: I’m very disappointed in Audrey. Suddenly she’s playing possum? I’m still trying to decide if this act of hers is strategy, or bad game play, or whether she really is cuckoo for coco-puffs.
Got too close to a vajayjay? Isn’t that where cooties come from?
Haha I haven’t been near one since the Clinton Administration.
All I have is a head cold on one end, and a foot injury at the other end.
No worries, Angel. I have special seating for rule breakers. Especially ones who break the rule and then apologize for breaking the rule while breaking the rule. As if, “I know I am not supposed to post this but IDGAF.

I took a break from feeds yesterday so I was surprised that Audrey didn’t go to the “prom.” I didn’t see her even once on After Dark. It was a nice break but probably not great game play. She needs to give the scheming a rest, not throw a pity party. She has 2 speeds: all or nothing.
Jace drives me insane. Like nails on a chalkboard. But you’re right about evicting Jackie, UF. if anyone was thinking straight, they’d realize how dangerous that TAR duo is. And it’s always good to have a big target in the house in case you get put on the block & need to shift attention.
Audrey continued her scheming from her bed. People came by to check on her as she sniffles and cried. She’d tell the, she wants to be left alone and then start with the where who what why questions. Shelli actually brought her meals and removed her dirty plates. Crazy. At one point when Audrey suggested to Liz (or Shelli?) they talk to Jeff , Liz Begged her to STOP . Just Stop with her manipulations. To much, too hard, too fast. I know she knows the game and don’t understand her motivation for playing so hard the first week.
Oh, one more thing. Last night Clay did a hair makeover on Steve. The little bugger looked Good. I don’t think he’s a nerdy and socially awkward as he portrays himself to be.
Urethra Franklin I hope the cooties are gone soon and you begin feeling better.
What did Jace say to Steve?
The whole video is up on YouTube. “Jace Intimidates Steve” #Bullying)
Sorry to TT in advance for I’m sure I’m in a gray area of breaching a rule.
I saw some of it & it made me really uncomfortable. It was brutal. I don’t think I could watch the whole thing.
I haven’t gotten the feeds yet this year. I don’t know if I’m going to because I just can’t sit stuck to the computer at this time in my life. Last year I felt the same way, but I couldn’t help myself, got them anyway, and then due to life ended up barely watching them.
I just went and watched it on YouTube, and holy shit! What a fucking dick. The little I had previously seen of him I found unbearably annoying, but this is horrific. Who the fuck does he think he is?!? To do that to sweet Steve???… So glad he’s gone. I feel REALLY sorry for his future children.
Jace did everything he could for, what have been a half hour. He told him no one likes him, they make fun of him and he was the one to go until he won veto. He’ll be gone next wek unless he has Jace to protect him. He called him every bullying name he could that the others use when talking about him. Said his nick name was Geek squad McGee or something similar. Told him he knows he was bullied in high school and it’s still going on. He just wanted to make him feel like shit and jace was his savior.
Disgusting.
Jace is also pissed that he will only have appeared on five episodes. That’s not “fair” Jackie should go because she was on TAR and has already had her fifteen minutes of fame. He wants to tell the HGs that if she and Jeff make it to a certain point they will make an additional 50k. Figures that will piss them off.
He’s such a douche bag asshole. He has a rap he wants to do tonight at eviction ceremony too. I think he watched Zack last year. He didn’t come up with that on his own.
I give him no credit for original thought. The extra money I mentioned above was something brought up last year too but I can’t remember the circumstances
Jace keeps talking about how Jackie has already been ON TV so she should go home. Everyone else uses the phrase “had the experience” but Jace is too stupid to hide his true intentions.
Also, right before the Audrey explosion, Jace was telling Steve he had a great plan to stay. That plan? His stupid rap. He started working on it & was blown away by his own brilliance. He performed it last night at the prom. Said they told him it was too long for the eviction ceremony. It sucked. He’s no Zack. >
So last year I couldn’t watch BBAD because my cable company doesn’t provide that channel in my area, ARRG!
I was so happy when I heard that POP will now be carrying BBAD. But guess what? My stupid cable provider doesn’t provide the POP channel in my area!!!
I’m so pissed off! I would live to change my cable company, but I hate having strangers in my home. They refuse to take their dirty shoes off, they look at me as though I have 3 heads if I ask them to slip on cloth booties, that I provide. And the cable guy could be The Killer.
Even in Canada they can watch After Dark; I feel like I’m in Siberia. Wait, they can probably watch BBAD there too.
This is the 1st year since BBAD started that I have not been able to watch because POP is not in my provider’s line up. The best BBAD was when it was so on ShowTime.
I had the same problem last year because my shit cable company decided to not include TVGN in their lineup.
I called my cable company this morning and after waiting for over a half hour on hold, I was finally able to speak to a human.
Still don’t have POP, but he did give me Showtime for free for 3 months. Too bad that the only thing that I watch on Showtime is Homeland and it doesn’t return until sometime in the fall
I messed up & ended up paying for the CBS feeds. I might keep them because you can watch past feeds. Just click on the calendar day/time you want & all 4 cameras switch over. It really helps when you miss something big.
Omg…Audrey needs to go. How paranoid is she…getting people out of bed to discuss what? She is a hot mess. I’m so proud of Day for seeing right through that fake apology from Clay and the fact that Audrey orchestrated that fake apology. I was nervous there for s minute thinking she was going to fall for it. Good for her I am officially rooting for her Jason or Steve to win. And yes I too DO NOT think Meg looks Taylor Swift. Although when I was watching with a couple of friends who had never watched the show, one of them immediately said she thought that Meg looks like T Swift. I said then I didnt think so. Then here comes Jeff saying it. Anyway, after watching YouTube…I think Jace needs to go.
Me too, now. I almost felt sorry for him after his streaking bombed. He really looked like a sad little boy. (that must be the nurturer in me since I’m the same sign as TT)
That feeling has now dried up tho for him. Everything he says or does is contrived and he constantly pans for the camera.
Jace is essentially Kevin Smith’s character Jay, but without Silent Bob, wit, intelligence, or humility.
