‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Head of Household practice is on!

Given that it has been such a dull past 48 hours or so in the “Big Brother” house, anything that changes things up a little bit is a welcome sight … and that includes some sort of apparatus for a skill-based competition.

Early this afternoon the houseguests received something that is more than likely for the next Head of Household, where you have to navigate a ball on a wooden platform into some sort of hole. It actually reminds us a little bit of a miniature golf hole, but with no club and with a larger ball on a raised platform. It’s not just about strength, but getting the right angle on the ball and getting it in the right position. Austin’s flinging his in the air before letting it land on the platform, and we’re not sure that is allowed.

We should not that it’s not confirmed that this will be the HoH Competition for the first part of the Double Eviction, since it could be for the HoH that takes place after the live show. Still, it feels perfect for the show itself, since this is a comp that can probably be wrapped up in around five or six minutes if everything goes according to plan.

If this is for the DE, then it definitely levels the playing field since on the surface, nobody should really have an inherent advantage. It’s all about who is concentrating the most at that given time. James will need to win it the most, but we could see his adrenaline going so crazy that he falters in his execution.

There hasn’t been much else happening in the house other than some continued paranoia about Johnny Mac flipping (he’s not really), but stay tuned. We’ll have some more news if something actually does materialize a little later in the day.
