‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Houseguests compete to be the next Devin

The truth here is that there have been early-season trainwrecks on “Big Brother” for ages. Just take a look back at Willie and Brian, who started out playing insanely hard only to sink quickly. Devin is just the best example, given that he was the best combination of appalling gameplay and entertainment. We wish that we could have him back every season at this point just to see if he plays the game any different.

Right now, it feels like we are in a two-person race to see who is going to torpedo their own game in such a similar fashion. We’re not really including Jace in here, mostly because we like to think of this comparison more as someone who has flashes of good gameplay, but somehow find a way to mess it up. Specifically, we’re talking Audrey and Da’Vonne. They’ve spent so much time today wandering around to all sides of the house trying to make sure that they are safe, but in the process they’ve annoyed quite a few people … including each other. They’ve argued this afternoon and tonight about who has been spreading information, but later “apologized” … for now.

Let’s take a look at their alliances. The High Rollers (it’s ironic as far as a name goes, given that Vanessa is not in it) is the dominant alliance right now, and it consists of Da’Vonne, Audrey, James, Jason, Meg, Jeff, and Jackie. Audrey and James are also in “Five Alive,” a fake alliance that has Clay, Jace, and Austin on board.

For now it still appears that the replacement nominee will be Jace, but there’s enough time for things to get crazy, especially when we think that Audrey and Da’Vonne are one slip-up away from causing all sorts of trouble for themselves.

As for some other updates from the night:

1. The booze is flowing tonight! The feeds today were so spectacular that it helps to remind us what good “Big Brother” feeds are. The Canadian ones were such a massive letdown this year with all of the outages.

2. Somehow Jeff and Jackie are not being immediately targeted, even though they are clearly going to be closer to each other than anyone else.

3. No one has figured out that there are twins changing places in the game, even though it seems relatively obvious (if the stories beforehand were not enough evidence) that it is Liz we are talking about here.

We’ll have more news in the morning, but head over here now to see some of the latest feed highlights! Also, sign up here to get some other TV updates on all we cover, sent right to you via our CarterMatt Newsletter. (Photo: CBS.)
