‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Johnny Mac present and future

While Austin has for the most part played a decent game on “Big Brother 17” this summer (minus a good day or two when the whole Jason / Liz fiasco took place), there is another opportunity coming where he and the twins could see their alliance completely decimated. It would just take a couple of things to happen … and yes, one of them does involve Vanessa.

In return for Johnny Mac being so cool about being on the block this week, Austin is desperate to make sure that things are as cool as possible between the two guys. Both he and the twins have talked about reassuring him as much as possible that they will evict Becky; heck, earlier today Liz told Austin that he should offer to throw the next Head of Household to John, that way he can be the one to take out Vanessa.

We want to see some of these steps happen, but only to see John try to take out Austin instead. It’s pretty easy to figure out why he would want to do this, or at least should consider it. Austwins are a block of three, and there’s no way that they are going to turn on each other. Next week, there will only be eight people in the house, and if you let them go any further like the top 7, you get to a point where they could start to control the vote completely unless two are on the block.

While John hasn’t really discussed this just yet, we hope that he does consider potentially working with Steve and Vanessa moving forward to split up Austwins, and therefore creating a much more fluid environment in the house the rest of the game. It gives him his best options of winning, and while he’d probably enjoy getting rid of Vanessa, we’re not sure that she has the social game to win in the end. You may be better riding with her for a while.

If this sort of thing happens, John’s going to have to wait for a while to discuss it. He knows right now that there is nothing could that can come out of him talking game, so he is just laying low and waiting for his next opportunity.
