‘Big Brother 17′ live feed spoilers: Clay the martyr returns; James’ regret

Remember how we were saying earlier this week that Clay was done playing the whole “vote me out” card on “Big Brother 17“? Well, about that…

Late last night, Clay made a pitch to Liz and Steve, and made his perspective very clear: He wants Shelli to stay, and he is more than ready to leave the game so that she can stay. After Austin became involved in the conversation, it feels pretty much confirmed that Shelli will stay this week and Clay will go. Nothing else matters if the twins, Austin, Vanessa, and Steve all vote together as a block. That looks to be what is happening right now.

While James and his team do not know everything about the result of the vote this week, he seems very adamant over the fact that Vanessa must go next. He almost seems to be regretting targeting Clay and Shelli over her, since she is someone who has stirred up so much drama, and he is really aware of it. She could be in huge trouble going into this coming week, but the real problem here is that Becky, Meg, and Jackie are not statistically favored to win the next Head of Household Competition.

For the record, many players in the game seem to think that tonight is a double-eviction. Since Julie Chen has not said anything about that, we don’t see it happening. We’re going to talk a little more about our expectations for tonight’s show a little later, but we have something interesting to discuss when it comes to HoH possibilities and maybe even a twist. Check back later to this link.
