Shelli – “you guys are taking little tiny things you hear and blowing them up”

Austin and Liz increasingly accepted that Jace was likely leaving and that they would probably have to vote with the house. Their attention shifted toward surviving the fallout, figuring out where Jason, Vanessa, Steve and Johnny Mac stood, and watching how much influence Audrey appeared to have across multiple groups.

Later, Vanessa, Audrey, Austin, Clay and Shelli formalized a new group they jokingly called “Sleeper Cell,” even though several of them privately questioned how real the alliance was. By the end of the night Liz was already distancing herself from Austin and Jace, while James worried that someone inside his own alliance was leaking information.

9:08pm Austin and Liz Liz – we’re going to have to vote with the house Austin – Ya Austin says that when he gets power he’ll do something about Audrey. He had to leave the conversation in the backyard because he was going to lose it on her. Jace was begging her to leave him alone. Austin says he thinks Audrey is playing far too hard. They head into the Cabana. Austin says Audrey’s advice to him was to calm Jace down so he didn’t throw her name under the bus and to only talk game to her and nobody else. Austin says Audrey knows she’s in trouble because she’s playing too much right now. He thinks they are in danger if she wins HOH. Austin says all this has allowed him to make some new friends: Vanessa, Steve and Johnny Mac. Austin highly doubts Johnny Mac and Steve will spread what he tells them. “They are good people the rest of them are terrible though” Liz – Johnny Mac is awesome Austin – Leave me alone Audrey Stop playing the game stop it Liz brings up that Audrey told her to stay away from Jace this week. Austin says every time he mentions Audrey, 10 minutes later she’s asking him about it. Austin – Does she have a microphone on me.. do they tell her what I’m saying If Austin wins HOH he’s going rogue. Austin – if she comes up to me one more time I’m done Austin says he legitimately liked Audrey and really wanted to work with her. Liz – She’s running the house Austin – It’s becoming apparent Liz – People are going to be so afraid to go against her Austin questions why Audrey and Clay are always coming to him saying he’s coming after them when they are also pushing an alliance with him. Liz – you think Jace has any chance to stay Austin – No everybody is too scared Liz – Jackie isn’t talking Austin – she doesn’t need to Liz thinks Jason is more in with Audrey than Austin thinks. “He knows this game” Liz – If Audrey wins or Day we’re done Austin says there are a lot of people who could put them in trouble, but also a lot of wild cards. For now he thinks the best thing Jace can do is expose alliances on both sides of the house and cause confusion. Austin says Jeff is a frat boy and James is boring. They agree James makes derogatory comments to women. Liz says James has a Napoleon complex. Austin says maybe, or he just doesn’t know how to be funny. Jace joins them. Austin says what Audrey and Clay are doing is making alliances of five people on both sides. Austin leaves. Jace gives Liz the debrief of his conversation with Audrey. [envira-gallery id=”117375″] 9:47pm Hot Tub Jason, Johnny Mac, James, Jackie and Meg Talking about Jace complaining about being the first one evicted. (Johnny Mac and Jackie are mostly quiet.) 9:52pm Jace and Liz Cabana Jace and Liz make insulting comments about Jackie’s appearance and joke that she is trying to get votes by attracting attention at the hot tub. Liz says she doesn’t want Jace to go. Jace says he thinks he’s done because everyone keeps saying they are voting with the house. Liz says it’s boring. 9:58pm Clay and Vanessa Bathroom Vanessa says she’s afraid to talk to anybody. She wants to solidify something so she has people she can trust. Vanessa thinks Shelli is a really sweet person. Clay – you’re not with anybody else Vanessa – I’m not Clay says they need to meet up later. Audrey joins them. Vanessa says Jace is coming to her and she wants to know what to say to him. Clay – I want to go with the house Audrey asks her what they do if Austin exposes their alliance. Vanessa says she thinks he is smarter than that. Vanessa tells Audrey she needs to know there are people who have her back. Vanessa thinks they might want to tell Jace they have the votes just to keep him from blowing the house up. “It would make things so much less awkward” Audrey agrees. Vanessa – you gotta pick a side very soon and I want to be on the side you pick Austin comes by. They agree to head to the HOH to form their alliance. 10:15pm HOH Clay, Austin and Vanessa. (Keep in mind that Austin knows Clay and Audrey are playing him.) Their story is they are talking about containing Jace in case he explodes. Clay tells them that Jace was throwing Austin under the bus. Shelli and Audrey join them. Vanessa says she wants to form an alliance with them. She thinks they have a good chance to win competitions and get votes. Clay – this is this right here there’s no talking to people on the other side Audrey – Subtlety campaign for each other Vanessa mentions that Jace is wanting to blow things up and she wants to know what to say to him. Audrey – Lie Vanessa wants to call the alliance “Sleeper Cell.” Audrey – I think it sounds cool Shelli – you want to call it SleeperShell They laugh. Audrey – why don’t we call it Shelli and the gang Clay – Shelli and the jets Vanessa says she’s super loyal. “Two months of pure loyalty” Shelli is super happy to be coming into this but wants a debrief about the conversations that happened today. (They all agree to the alliance, although several of them appear to view it as temporary or questionable.) Everyone leaves except Clay and Shelli. Clay tells her that Vanessa sounds sincere, but he thinks she’s playing them. 10:35pm Showing off their dance moves “Shopping cart” [envira-gallery id=”117399″] 10:39pm HOH Audrey, Clay and Shelli Audrey – I’m just backing off this week Clay – every talk I’ve had with Vanessa is like that.. I think she’s sincere Shelli talks about some of the stories Audrey told her about not trusting Vanessa. Audrey keeps interrupting her. Shelli asks her to stop and says in all the conversations they’ve had, she’s only talked for five minutes. Audrey says she tells them both everything. Shelli – you guys are taking little tiny things you hear and blowing them up Audrey says the only person she’s a bit worried about is Austin. Shelli asks who she would put up. Audrey says Steve and Liz, with Liz as the target. James comes in. Audrey says their alliance of eight needs to have regular check-ins. “We are going to be the late night crew” Clay thinks that will be obvious with eight people up in the HOH. James tells them he was never close to changing his mind on the nominations; it was Jace all along. He asks them what the plan tomorrow is. They say it depends on the HOH and the twist. (The eight-person alliance they are talking about is Shelli, Clay, Audrey, James, Day, Meg, Jason and Jeff.) Jackie sighting

11:05pm Audrey, Jackie and Becky Hammock Audrey says she’s sick of Jace saying she was the mastermind of getting him out. She thinks it would be easier if everyone told him they are voting to keep him so he will leave them alone. Audrey calls the stuff coming out of Jace’s mouth “Fart noises” and “Bullsh1t.” Becky leaves. Jackie and Audrey start talking about Jace saying that he lost everything to be on this show. Jackie says they are all here for the money and they all quit their jobs. Audrey says Jace is trying to be extremely emotionally manipulative and calls him very immature. 11:07pm Vanessa and Jace Vanessa tells Jace it’s too early right now to do anything. She says if he changes people’s minds too early, they may change them back before Thursday. 11:31pm Storage Room Liz and Jeff She tells him she wants to work with him. Says she’s kind of jumping ship. She likes Austin and Jace but knows they are a sinking ship. Jeff says he really likes Austin. Jeff thinks Audrey is connected to Liz and Austin, but says he doesn’t trust what is happening around them. Liz – really you think Audrey is with us Jeff – she’s always talking to you guys Jeff – I need Austin around to get rid of somebody Jeff says Liz and Austin are probably targets and warns that he can’t get caught talking to her too much. Jeff asks why she had been spending so much time with Jace if she doesn’t like him. Liz – He’s cool we were just chilling Liz asks if Jeff and Clay are working together. Jeff – it’s bigger than that Jeff recommends she stop talking to Austin and lay low. “There is someone in this house that is starting rumours and they’re going to try to get people to blow up” Jeff thinks Jace’s house meeting should happen because he could start exposing people’s games. Jeff says someone is trying to control the damage around Jace because they don’t want to get exposed. Liz asks him what she should do. Jeff says he is going to plant seeds and tells her to keep herself low-key. He specifically warns her to stay away from Audrey. Liz tells him about the alliances Audrey is forming and brings up Sleeper Cell without using the name and without mentioning Vanessa. “I don’t get good vibes from her.. She’s talking to everyone.. I hope this doesn’t go back to her” Jeff says he won’t say anything. He thinks it was Audrey who started the conflict between him and Austin. Jeff says he is going to slowly start bringing other people into their conversations. Jeff also tells Liz to be careful around Vanessa. Jeff says it sucks that he can’t talk to Clay very much because Clay is really close to Audrey. 11:52pm HOH Audrey, James and Meg James wants to know who the rat in their alliance is. James says the only people who knew about the eviction song were their five-person core alliance and Jackie. (I believe it was Audrey who told Vanessa.) James is going to find out from Jace who the rat is. Meg warns them that Austin and Steve are talking a lot today. James knows it wasn’t Steve and is certain it was someone in their group. James wonders if it was Clay because he’s not really catching any flak like the rest of them. James is going to go out there and ask members of their alliance what they should do. Audrey tells him if he confronts Clay right now, Clay has too many people on his side. Audrey talks him into not going. James – My gut is it’s either Jackie, Clay or Jeff Meg doesn’t think it would be Jeff. They remember that Jeff made up the first bit. James – OK Jeff’s out it’s Clay or Jackie 12:15am James, Jeff, Day, Clay and Audrey James says they have a snitch in their group. He says Jace knew about the song and the only people who knew about the song were their group. James – You can’t blame Vanessa, you can’t blame Steve you can’t blame John [polldaddy poll=8954355]
