‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Plane banners and a little strategy

Do we have another “Big Brother” controversy involving help coming in from the outside world? It may be tempting to say that, but the answer here after reviewing what happened this afternoon that this latest “controversy” is not akin to someone shouting about Frankie from outside the house. It’s not even a controversy at all.

This afternoon, a plan with “I ♥ you S” flew over the general vicinity of the house, prompting Big Brother to call everyone inside in the event that something crazy was about to happen. There was of course briefly talk that someone may have been trying to send Shelli a message (there were also jokes about Clay somehow hiring someone to do this), but in reality we feel like this was probably just for an engagement or something else completely unrelated to the game. If someone was trying to interfere with production, they would have been much explicit than this.

Away from that, let’s talk a little strategy. Liz informed Meg and James today that Clay is going to do everything that he can to save Shelli, even if that means going home himself. It doesn’t seem like this is prompting James to reconsider any of his nominations, though. She also made it clear that “Clelli” is going to tell James anything he wants to her, but will send him home in a second if they get an opportunity to put him up on the block. We do very much believe that to be true.

In having this conversation, Liz may be helping the alliance otherwise known as “Austwins” get into a good position where Vanessa may not target them, and the same goes for James or Meg moving forward. Granted, this is only going to happen for so long, given that three people with such an obvious target are bound to be the focus of many in the game for a while.

Also, Shelli is close to finishing her sword task that she received in the Veto, where she was ordered to complete a routine 2400 times over the course of 24 hours, or otherwise not get a chance to play in the Veto next week.
