‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Vanessa now looks towards Steve

We understand if you want to criticize Vanessa for her style of gameplay on “Big Brother 17,” which mostly revolved around her professing to be of great moral standard while lying more than almost anyone else. However, it’s getting hard to deny its effectiveness, and we have to admit that the live feeds with her in power are way more entertaining than when she is not involved in anything significant.

Earlier today, we wrote about a lengthy discussion that she had with Johnny Mac that served to get her more on the same page with him than she has been as of late. John admitted to his mistrust, but made it clear that he really did not have anyone else to work with in the game and that they could use each other.

Following that this afternoon, Vanessa and Steve aired out most of their dirty laundry, with him admitting to lying about a few things and also claiming that he allowed John to think that they had a final two deal together. (Hilariously, we think Steve was still lying a little to her in that he put more stock in that deal than he admits.)

The real discussion point for the week may be as follows: Vanessa is now closer to John and Steve, while Austin and the Twins are closer to James and Meg. He’d probably want to keep them around if the chips are down, but she’d rather have the other two. She makes a good argument in that if someone like Jackie returns and someone like John is evicted, Jackie, Meg, and James are now a three-person alliance again. However, Austin thinks that he has a good thing going with his Brass Tacks alliance for now, and doesn’t want to come across as dishonest.

They’re apparently going to discuss what to do further later, and it could end up being pretty fun.
