Audrey – “The advice I gave him, you have to stop causing so much drama”

Jace spent the evening trying to find a way to survive after going on the block, repeatedly circling back to the same problem: he believed someone had lied to James and convinced him that Jace was coming after the HOH. Austin tried to keep Jace calm while Jason warned that blowing up would only make his position worse.

Much of the night became a battle between emotion and strategy. Jace confronted James and Audrey, considered calling a house meeting, and searched for votes, while Jason advised him to lay low and wait for an opening rather than trying to fight the entire house at once.

7:00pm Jason and Austin Austin is helping Jason work his glutes. They agree some people are playing way too hard. Austin says he wants to get to know Jason better. He thinks they have a lot in common and feels they haven’t had much chance to talk. Jason wants to start talking more with Austin. Jason says it doesn’t take a blind man to see some people are really playing and others are not playing at all. Jason recommends Austin lay low and talk little game. Jason says this season reminds him of Season 15. Austin – He’s (Jace) the David Jason thinks David was dumber than Jace. Jason recommends Austin make sure Jace doesn’t explode. “That will drag you down with him” Austin – He’s going out like Willie Jason – Some of these players are playing really hard they think they’re about to crown a winner tomorrow Jason tells him there are people who can cook to the end, so Austin might be able to work out to the end. 7:00pm HOH Jace and James Jace asks if there’s still a way for James to help him. James says it’s all in motion. James says the information he got was last minute and he had to act on it. Jace – it was bullshit James.. it was not true.. I’ve been onboard with you since day one I have never thrown your name under the bus. Jace says he knows Audrey was the one who lied to James and said Jace was targeting him. James says it was literally at the Veto Ceremony when everyone was in his ear. That is when he made the decision to put Jace up. Jace – WOW man.. that’s Big Brother.. Jace tells him if he had lied to James like they lied to James, he would be safe now. Jace – I’m not mad at you it’s OK someone lied to you to get me out. Jace says he isn’t angry at James for not coming to him first; he’s angry that other people lied to James and got in his ear. He mentions how ridiculous it is for someone to say they are coming after the HOH when the HOH has all the power. Jace says he will swear on the Bible that he has James’ back if James helps him out. “You have a very powerful ally on your side.. No one will expect me to be working with you after this.. I consider myself a strong player.” Jace – those people that were in your ear could potentially bite you in the a$$ James tells him if he goes home Week 2 he’ll hold his head up high. Jace is going to smoke out the rat. James – you’ll need a lot of cheese bro 7:27pm Jace and Austin Backyard Jace – you’ll never believe what I found out now.. I just talked to James for 20 minutes He tells him someone came to James right before the nomination ceremony and said Jace was going to backdoor him. Austin thinks that is made up. Jace knows that Clay and Audrey are playing James. When he pulls his meeting, he’s going to tell everyone that he’s going after Clay and Audrey. Austin says Jace needs to keep his cool. That is what Jason told him. Jason said if Jace blows up, he’s done. Austin recommends Jace stay emotional rather than angry if he calls the meeting. 7:33pm Jason, Jace, Jeff and Clay Jace says he made it on Big Brother, he’s already a winner. Jeff says a lot can still happen. 7:35pm Meg and James James tells her about his conversation with Jace. 7:55pm Backyard Steve and Vanessa Getting to know each other. 7:56pm Bedroom Jason, Audrey and Meg Audrey is calling Jace an idiot and says she’s not worried about what Jace is going to do. Audrey recommends they just ignore Jace, Liz and Austin from now on. Meg says “they” are trying to turn the house on James and Audrey. They agree that is a bad strategy and think Jace, Liz and Austin should instead be trying to shift the target onto Jackie or Becky. Jason thinks it’s going to be 10-1 with Jace going out of the house. “He’s not going to say anything to flip these people” Clay and Shelli come in. Audrey says she’s hearing that Jace is saying she’s the mastermind. Jason – I had a conversation with Austin about that Jeff and James join them. James – I’m a bullet magnet I’ve been taking bullets all day 8:17pm Hot Tub Audrey, Liz and Austin Audrey tells him to lay low. She thinks there are multiple people trying to get her fired up about Austin. Austin – who is saying this sh1t Audrey tells him to go into the Have-Not room and he’ll get an idea. Austin heads over there to find out. Audrey tells Liz to vote with the house. “Obviously” Liz thinks Jace is going to leave. Audrey agrees. 8:22pm Jace, Austin and Audrey Audrey wants to give him a tip. She says while she’s been asleep, the person who is after him is spreading things saying that Austin and Jace are coming after her. Jace doesn’t understand what is going on. He says he hasn’t told anybody that. All he told Austin was he’s going to be after the person who threw him under the bus. Jace – there will be a house meeting.. I’m not talking to anybody I’m enjoying my life in this house with people that don’t want me here.. it sucks Audrey it really does. Jace – “I don’t know what I did I lied to no one” Audrey – People are coming to me saying you two are gunning after me Jace says the situation is ridiculous and feels isolated by the house. Audrey says the people telling her this want the two sides to fight. Jace – You do realize there’s one person in here lying to everyone.. Jace explains that there is a person who told James he was gunning for him moments before the Veto Meeting. Jace – You targeted me so hard Audrey Audrey – HOW! Audrey – I never dominate the conversations I’m a bystander. Audrey points out to him she doesn’t know who told James. All she knows is it was a last-minute thing. “I’m a bystander” Jace says he’s going to call a house meeting and she might hear her name then, but first he needs to figure out who backstabbed him. Jace says he really liked Audrey and this is really hard for him. Audrey tells him to question the people he trusted. “I don’t have time for the gossip” Audrey points out there were four people in the room when they talked and asks why he thinks it was her. Jace says there’s no way it was Austin. Audrey suggests that maybe it was Clay without directly naming him. Jace says if he calls a house meeting and Clay gets called out, will Audrey back it up. Audrey says she can’t because she’s trying to lay low. [envira-gallery id=”117355″] 8:50pm Bedroom Audrey tells them about her conversation with Jace. Clay, James, Meg, Shelli, Jackie and others are in the room. Audrey – “It’s like arguing with a four year old” Audrey – “The advice I gave him you have to stop causing so much drama” (Probably the funniest thing I’ve heard so far this season.) 8:55pm Backyard Jace and Jason Jace says he’s screwed and asks him what he needs for a vote. Jason explains that going against the house right now is suicide. If Jace has the votes, he’s onboard. Jason says he won’t be able to flip the house without James’ support. It’s rare the house flips on the HOH when they all like the HOH. Meg joins them. Jason – As a BB fan lay low.. wait.. an opportunity will present itself Jason – Jackie isn’t saying all that much.. you can out game Jackie Jace – the whole house is against me Jason says he has to look like less of a threat than Jackie, but he doesn’t know how Jace can do that.
