Vanessa interrogating Steve right now and he just shat his pants. Probably not a good way to make people want to work with you.

LOL Steve just put his hand on the bible and said he's told her everything. He's told her ****.

Good for Steve.

What's happening at this point? Is Vanessa using veto and James/Meg getting backdoored?

That seems to be the plan as of right now, but I expect it'll change a few more times before morning.

That Austin nomination speech makes me want to vomit

would she use it on Steve or J-Mac?

I don't know if that's been decided but it seems like they trust Steve more to vote with them. But that could just be because he was the last one to talk to them.

LOL @ Austin for basically getting his HOH emasculated by Vanessa,. If she decides to use the POV, he is FORCED to put up Meg or James. His only other option (which will NEVER HAPPEN) is to put up Julia as a pawn but he doesn't trust Vanessa enough to think that she doesn't have some other deal in the house and would flip the house against Julia

He had a #REASON to put up Vanessa. He could've said well you planned on back dooring me so I am putting u up as a pawn.

The Vanessa-Austin relationship sorta works because he can't make a decision to save his life and she will happily make the decisions for him.

Plus he is good at the social relationship-building which she sucks at, so they have complementary skills.

Lol to the people saying Vanessa is not a beast at this game. Pete is the single worst BB analyst in history.

lol the twins want to make a deal with J Mac that they get to choose his noms if he wins HOH next week

Vanessa is on the prowl.

Really liking Austin for standing his ground. Vanessa trying to myst Austin into getting out James/Meg and he's having none of it. Sees through her bs. Best player in the game this season imo.

Vanessa's really bad, it's quite clear Austin doesn't want to hear any of her #reasons and she just won't give up. She's so awful at picking up social cues.

Yeah I think Vanessa's latest whackjob conspiracy theory (the one about Meg) is doing her in.

Austin is also aware that getting James out is only good for Vanessa's game and not his. Gets all the blood on his hands when he knows he can trust James. It pisses James and Megs off and there's a chance that James can come back. Vanessa would get away scott free and would look like a hero to Steve and Jmac for saving them. It's so transparent what she's doing, I'm glad Austin can see through all this. Really loving Austin more and more as the season goes along.

James lying through his teeth to Vanessa right now, telling her everything she wants to hear. Love it!

James really is a mentally strong player. When he says he makes $20k a year and doesn't gaf, I think he means it to a degree. He wants to win, but an Asian kid who grew up in a Southern orphanage, was in military, and a prison guard, is totally unshook by some female DJ poker chick trying to strongarm him for info. Just sitting there sighing like you're wasting his time is strong. He'll play ball a little, but you aren't pushing him around. Hell, he looked unfazed when Clay got in his grill.

It's amazing how Vanessa consistently fights for a great spot, irritates everyone in the coming days to the point they just want to eat a bullet, but then has made it all work out in the end every week. She's some self-awareness away from being an all timer. She certainly isn't lazy.

True battle of wills right now.

She's interrogating Megs right now. I've never seen anyone be this aggressive and so distasteful in this game. Someone needs to tell her to f off.

It's mostly worked for her, but James and JMac frustrate her, because regardless of how she spins, they simply dislike her and aren't adept, or care to, hide the fact. JMac has bit a little today, but I still think he shanks her in the eye at the first opportunity should he stay. James for sure.

Today has been a negative day for her because when you're trying to find proof of a conspiracy that doesn't exist, you aren't going to accomplish much beyond irritating everyone.

She has irritated the whole house today especially Austin. She needs to know when to drop it before she alienates even more people.

I'm kind of surprised no one has punched Vanessa in the face yet.

Worst post in a thread with hundreds of posts by DarkCheck. Incredible.
