‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Rob Gronkowski’s role; Steve and Vanessa’s chat

The big “news” (if we can call it that) from the “Big Brother 17” house is fairly simple: Rob Gronkowski likes to party! Rob’s “takeover” apparently involves party signals, and whenever he gives one out, the houseguests have to do what he says. If they don’t, they will get a “party foul” and become a Have-Not. We’ve already seen that already, as Gronk called everyone into the shower, with most of their clothes out, to have an impromptu dance party. Crazy stuff.

What was more interesting to us tonight is a lengthy conversation with Steve and Vanessa discussing plans. Since Johnny Mac won the Veto and he is now safe, she has to nominate someone against James. She’s determined that the only person other than Jeff she could nominate (if she wants to evict James) is Jackie, and that would anger Jeff. She figures that at this point, she may as well backdoor him.

Vanessa tried to run the votes in this particular situation, and it feels a little bit like Jeff would go home against the two. There are some concerns here and there when it comes to votes, but the thing here is that no matter who goes, they both win.

The real struggle here is still for Vanessa trying to justify getting rid of Jeff. Right now, her logic here is that they could blame it on Audrey (if she comes up and talks to her endlessly), or she could just trace back some examples of Jeff saying rude comments and being somewhat mean to Steve and other people.
