‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Campaigning all around

For two people who are as close as Clay and Shelli are in the “Big Brother” house, we’re really getting the sense today that someone has whispered “game on” into their ears. Sure, Clay is not out fighting hard to stay, but he has cooled off slightly on openly falling on his own sword. He also may have pushed Austin towards wanting to keep him.

However, Shelli is pretty openly campaigning hard to stay at this point, especially working this afternoon to ensure that both of the twins keep her by saying that she will go after James, Meg, and Jackie hard, she won’t target them, and also attacking James for being sneaky, dishonest, and also for making comments about women they don’t like. The word “bullying” is also thrown around somewhere in here in relation to other campaigning strategies, but we’re going to steer clear of that because we hate about 99% of the time this word is brought up in the game.

While the twins are firmly on board with keeping Shelli, you can see some of the wheels turning in Austin’s own brain as he tries to figure all of this out. At the moment, signs seem to suggest that he wants to keep Clay based on his recent campaigning. He and Johnny Mac seem to hold most of the power right now, given that Becky seems to be all aboard right now with voting Shelli out of the game … though that may change if she realizes her side doesn’t have the votes.

Also this afternoon, Becky continued to complain about Vanessa to John, and Austin and Liz held a wrestling demonstration.
