‘Big Brother 17’ live feed spoilers: Singling out a future target

Today the “Big Brother 17” house has been for the most part a snooze-fest, and we’re hoping that somehow, things start to come to life tonight with a few crazy campaigns or at least some ideas tossed around. Right now, much of the theme here seems to be hovering over Steve and Johnny Mac like a hawk to ensure that neither one of them do anything to mess up the plan (which is why it would be more hilarious if they did).

Subtly, we do feel almost like what Steve has been doing this afternoon is gathering some information on what people would do going into the upcoming Head of Household Competition. For example, he has more of a sense from Austin that he would go after James, and with him being the target for most players across the board, he may not be that willing to even try to win HoH next … though that could change when he learns it is a Double Eviction.

It may be some of these plans that keep Steve from really considering any pitch to keep James and Meg around. If James really is everyone’s target and he goes next, that means that it really is down to six, and a battle of three different alliances of three. He may want to play his odds and think that with the current arrangement, he has a better chance of getting at least that far with less of a risk … even if we think it’s smarter to flip with John and take out Julia now when they have the chance.

One other reason that Steve may not want to do this? Vanessa already informed him a little bit about at least loose details of Operation Trojan Horse, where Austin would try to pin a vote on Steve. He may feel more loyalty to Vanessa for giving him information.
