(Editor’s Note: Sorry for the delay, I fell asleep at 7 pm and just work up at 2 am. I haven’t even seen the show yet. tt)
We start with all of the houseguests (minus Vanessa) clinging to a wall in the Head of Household competition. They each have a small ledge for their feet and three climbing-wall handholds. The wall tilts. A heavy rain soaks them from head to toe. Suddenly huge eagles swoop in and smack them in the stomach. Well, the birds smack Austin in the stomach. Because of the height difference, most of the girls get birds to the boobs. Ouch! And as if that‘s not bad enough, they get bird poop sprayed on them. It’s actually grey paint but still… Eww.
Steve is the first to fall with Austin right behind him. Then it’s Meg and Julia’s turns. Everyone else is valiantly dealing with rain and birds. Suddenly the wall tilts again and Jackie and Liz are out. Everyone is looking for a way to get comfortable and James starts squatting. About two hours into the competition, Becky falls. Then Clay is out. Only James, Shelli and Johnny Mack remain. They rain comes again. James tells John that he has nothing to worry about and John drops. Shelli looks at James and asks for safety for her and Clay. James agrees so Shelli jumps. James wins Head of Household!
Wet and exhausted hamsters enter the house to see that Julia has made it onto the memory wall. Everyone has been speculating how production would add her but no one came up with the easiest (and laziest) way to do it: Julia simply took over Jace’s spot. Jace who, you ask? Exactly.
After the Head of Household competition, the Six Sense alliance assembles. Shellie explains that she didn’t want to win a third HoH because it would make her look like too much of a competitor. Her alliance members all pretend to understand but secretly they’re fuming that Shelli left them out of her safety pact with James. Clay isn’t too worried about losing alliance members, though. “We don’t owe them anything,” he reminds Shelli.
Great montage of Clay mumbling and not making sense. #mushmouth.
In the HoH room, James, Jackie, Becky and Meg talk about how Shelli and Clay are running the other side of the house. James realizes that Clay is just a puppet and Shelli is the real power in the power couple. And that’s why she has to go. Behind everyone’s back, Becky decides to tell Shelli and Clay that they’re the targets. Clay flips out. He wants to act immediately but Shelli wants a moment to think. “Why can’t I even just go eat cookies and pretend like nothings going on?” Mommy and daddy are fighting, kids, and it’s a glorious thing.
Vanessa tries to mist James about her part in Jason’s eviction. It wasn’t me… I was forced to do it… the whole house wanted it and I couldn’t say no… And then she puts the final knife in Clelli’s back by telling James she won’t be upset if he puts them up. Then it’s Shelli and Clay’s turn to put the blame for Jason on Vanessa. And then on Austin. But James sees through it all and decides to make a big move. As he explains to Meg, if he backdoors one of them, both will be pissed so he might as well put them both of them up. He’s not scared to get blood on his hands. “I’m going to wear it like war paint.” I just got chills.
Nomination Ceremony
This is our first single nomination ceremony of the season. James has a little white box with two keys in it. He pulls out the first key and nominates Clay. Then he nominates Shelli. James explains that there were lines drawn in sand last week, he was blindsided. He’s scared of Shelli as a competitor and knows that Shelli and Clay are a strong team together. “As far as our contract that we had up there, it’s up to my discretion whether that contract is valid and it’s not up for appeal.” Shelli interrupts him to say, in her shaky “crying” voice, “I would like to say you did publicly, in front of this entire house, make a deal with me. So everyone in this house can know right now that James is not good for his word.” Clay adds, “his word is s**t.” Everyone looks stunned so Clay mumbles, “it’s all good though.” Shelli leaves the group with a final statement: “Clay and I had absolutely nothing to do with Jason going up on block last week. And anyone who wants to come to us and find out the true story behind what happened is fair game.” Kapow! That’s the sound of the Sixth Sense alliance blowing up.
Just now watching the show… in the DR Vanessa was mad because when Shelli made a deal for just Clellit (and actually JMac) she knew where she was on their totem pole. Really Vanessa? You think Shelli would save you over Clay? Um. Noe.
In the HN room Shelli and Vanessa talk. Shelli tells Vanessa she doesn’t want James targeting the TWINS. That pisses of Vanessa even more. Clay and Shelly are so sure they are safe. #Idiots.
Oh and thanks for the recap Lady, My crazy sleep schedule is a mess. I fell asleep around 7 after eating dinner and was out for seven hours. Now I am up in the wee hours. This is never going to get straightened out.
Thanks for the recap, Lady. I haven’t had time to watch.
I know from watching the live feeds on the day of the POV ceremony that there was more angry words by Clay towards James than what was shown on TV. I can’t believe they didn’t show all of it. That’s the only reason I tuned in to watch the show.
Sorry I meant nomination ceremony not POV ceremony.
Yes, ion the feed recaps I read they discussed it. Wanted to see it as well.
I was looking forward to the explosion. Stupid cbs editing!
Lady Cocotte, really good recap, thanks so much! 🙂
Great recap..I missed the show too. Can’t they send both of them home? Please……I cannot stand those two. I have this strong urge to punch Shelli.
Who knew when it came time to take the head off the beast it would be James. I hope they get to him to change the nominees at veto. Even if shelli gets the votes to stay and clay goes, she will be a mess with him gone. I think even with them 2 on the block their alliance is large enough to choose who goes home. They are much stronger with shelli. But hopefully they will see that Clay can be manipulated easily with her gone. He would be a number for their side without actually running anything. Either way glad one of them will be gone. Anxious to see how the house will change with the departure.
James wants Shelli out. He realizes she is the “head of the beast” as he put it. James won the veto, so he really does have all the power. Shelli & Vanessa are fighting, Austin & the twins have gone on their own. Two days ago Shelli said that “sixth sense was finished.” If someone from James side wins again they wan Vanessa out. They have figured out she is the master mind. It will be an interesting week to be sure.
wow, so James is HOH and has the Power of Veto? That is great!
Specifically James said Shelli was the head of the monster and Austin is the nutsack….ROFLMAO…. That is the best line of the season so far.
Did anyone else happen to see the player from last year who’s name is not to be spoken here. I was watching America ‘s best dance crew with my daughter and he is one of the judges this year. I was like great me and my girls like watching the dance groups and now I have to deal with this fool all season if I want to watch.
I just happened to end up on that channel for a minute and saw it. UGH. Does it even know anything about dance?

I think he is a choreographer but I can’t imagine knows enough about hip hop dance crews to be a judge. Nor do I want to see him getting the privilege of a good job like that with his stank attitude.
It’s hilarious that Becky went to chelli to warn them of the plan because they were the reason she was still in the house. No Becky. The reason you are still in the house is because you aren’t a factor.
Yes that pissed me off. Stupid Becky. She bugs me.
Yes! This makes me happy. Clay is a douche and Shellie is a bitch. They need to go. Good for James. It doesn’t matter who I like or do not like I love some real game play! Shake it up!
I missed this epi…good recap. Wish they would send both Shelli and Clay home.
~ Thanks TT and Lady C ~
I’ve been sequestered in this hospital room. Finally felt good enough
to check out the live feeds only to discover they have blocked me from
the BB house because it is considered ‘Gambling’!
Great move by James ~ yeah, he’s a true hunter.
Glad to hear you are in recovery, Lori. Sending you positive thoughts for a speedy recovery!

I know it’s my wish for shelli to go this week but who do yall think the house will vote for. Since the big alliance still has the numbers to decide the fate of the vote, who will go? Are they gonna keep shelli since she can help win comps or clay since he is less than smart and they can manipulate him?
I was thinking about it and I think Vanessa will keep Clay. Shelli would be hard for Vanessa to beat at the end. Clay is a moron and can go next. I mean if she has weight on the votes.
I have not watched as much the past few days but last I saw Vanessa was campaigning HARD for Shelli. I think Clay would be better for her, but she does not.

Have anyone thought for a second that it was Becky that went to blab to Shelli and Clay?
HAS anyone….geeze, will the menopause ever come to an end?
Last I heard, Vanessa wants to keep Shelli. She will probably get her way as she controls a lot of votes atm.
I don’t think anyone is really on to Becky, but Vanessa may have suspicions.

I’ve been a fan of Survivor from the very beginning, but I never could get into Big Brother (the CBS crap show), it seemed like a cheesy kiddie show. Until a couple of years ago when I started following the livefeeds. Completely different show and I was instantly hooked. Since then I have went back and watched past seasons, but unfortunately I was stuck only being able to watch the highly edited CBS version of the show.
When Audrey had her meltdown this year, I seen many people comparing it to the breakdown that Rachel Riley had. Since I have only seen the edited version of that season, it appeared as though she was just over emotional about Brendon being voted out. But between the various comments and CBS with their lame edits, I think that I’m missing a good story. I understand that this happened years ago and everybody is way over that season as well as Rachel, but I’m begging will somebody please? Pretty please fill me in? And please include all of the gory details?
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who takes pity on me and indulges me by answering.
If had had to watch this, so do y’all Chelli’s first kiss 10:27 last night Cam 1/2

Half the house, Shelli, Clay, Vanessa, Steve, Johnny Mac, Becky are very smart people who know how to play this game. The other half, Austin, The Twins, James, Jackie and the adorable Meg, don’t have a clue what they are doing. Sadly all the smart ones, with the exception of Johnny Mac, are so unlikable.
I do hope they keep Shelli this week, only because I can’t wait until Shelli and Vanessa turn on each other. I live for that drama.
As sickening as Clay and Shelli are, Austen and Liz are downright disturbing.
Ultimately I hope the final 3 will be Johnny Mac, Julia and the adorable Meg.
Becky and Clay are abject morons. James and Jackie are great at the game. They just forgot to make a real alliance.

I hated Jackie at first but this week she has been on fire! It’s so exciting to see her & James tear into the Sixth Sense. Hopefully they can keep up the momentum. >
I passed on watching the video since I had the misfortune of seeing it live and in living color. OMG, the sounds…THE SOUNDS!! Ewwww and ughhhh. I was thinking to myself that if they didn’t hurry up and quit, I was going to have to get up and leave for a while, but then the twins came out and interrupted them and I was saved. Halleluiah!
I’m hoping against hope that they vote Shelli out, cut the head off the snake and all that. I want to watch Clay wander around, rudderless, without Shelli doing his thinking for him. I think he is so stupid trying to get people to vote him out instead of Shelli. For that alone he should be voted out, but since that’s what they both want, I don’t want it for them. I’m contrary like that 😉
