‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Johnny Mac is not giving up

Sure, we understand you maybe criticizing Johnny Mac a little bit for waiting so long to play “Big Brother 17” hard, but the reality here is that if he did, he probably would’ve been gone before now. The biggest flaw in his game is probably just him assuming that he would be handed Head of Household this past week, and then him not winning the Power of Veto.

The dentist is definitely not going down without a fight today, following a late-night pitch to Vanessa last night to allow him a chance to get James and Meg on his side. His real argument to both these two and also Vanessa is that if you keep things at the status quo, you are creating a situation where you are allowing Austin and the twins to run things.

For Vanessa, she doesn’t have that much to worry about if she votes with him. Liz and Julia are the only two that they need to beat in the next Head of Household competition, and the odds are almost nonexistent that they would be unable to vote one of the Austwins out next week with the right person in power. Her whole “being afraid to rock the boat” shtick isn’t really flying with him at all.

As for James and Meg, his argument is just that if they keep Steve, they’re keeping someone who will probably target them, and they are just going to be the next two players picked off. There’s nobody else who will help them. If he can keep them on his side, he’ll just need Vanessa … which is a lot shot, but at least he’s trying. The reality here is that Steve is probably not targeting Vanessa anytime soon, and Johnny Mac could. That’s why she will most likely keep Steve around.
