Big Brother 2015 Spoilers: Power Rankings – Week 8
|2. Austin
Despite Liz winning HOH this week, it does seem like Austin has been calling the shots in between his 100 workout sessions a day. They had it setup for the nominees to both want Van gone, so whichever one survived the vote would then go after Van. He also has calmed Van down and played nice with her this week to think everything is okay and they are all good and would not support a backdoor Van plan.
1. Liz
I hate putting her in the #1 spot, but how could I not? She is not the smartest, but she was able to win HOH for Week 8 on Big Brother 2015 and then turn around and win the Veto competition. She held all the power this week, so I had to give her that top spot!
So, how would you rank the Houseguests on Big Brother 17?

I would say right on the spot this week.
Sorry I have not been as active lately on the site, life happens.
I am sorry to say I am about to give up on this year. It just seems that everyone is playing to be taken to the end of the game and not actually looking around to see what needs to happen to get themselves there on their own (IMO).
I agree with all of your rankings Todd. Except i think Liz blew it by not renomming Vanessa. She could have made a huge move without any blowback at all. It would not/will not have been a sure thing that Vanessa would return. But it was a sure thing that Liz would have a resume that contained brownie points for ridding the pond of the biggest fish. Chance missed.
Unfortunately, your rankings do seem to lay out the sad truth about this group. Too bad we can’t magically flip the order and make it a little more palatable. Since I am not a superfan and haven’t watched that many seasons of BB, I would like to ask the SFs if there has ever been a group like this–it seems they are never thinking about the present and always projecting what they will do the next elimination. And why assume that Vanessa would be the one to come back from jury? If this is good strategy, I know I would be out of that house the first elimination because it just isn’t logical to me.
I do not understand things either, as they always assume things and make moves based on that assumption, like not evicting Shelli because she would win the HOH at DE and come after James. Afraid to evict Van now because she would win jury comp. I am sure there are more, but those stick out to me. It baffles me, as no one wants blood on their hands!
we know how to spell assume
I agree. The illogical assumption that Van would be the returnee is a continuation of how they plan weeks ahead of time who goes next. They assume. Logic is in short supply in the house. And they don’t know how to calculate the odds for their game plan working. The affliction of HOH-itis happens EVERY year. I’m beginning to think it’s a requirement. And those not currently residing in the HOH room have delusions of grandeur about what they plan on doing when they get in power. They all need slapped back into reality. Pre-planning weeks ahead of time should be reserved for actual funerals. Not the ones you assume you will be attending in the BB house.
And you know what they say about “assume” 😉
great minds think alike
I think they should all be #9 spot / they are boring, and scared to make a move in the house and just wait each week to see what is going to happen and who the vote should be – they must all agree – no brains in this house
Yep. I agree all of them should be tied for 9th place! We’re all experiencing the ho-hum life of BB fans of hgs who aren’t playing the game. It’s like we’re IN the house and as bored as they are! They appear to have fallen into the BORING pattern of HoH selects the noms, veto doesn’t change anything so let’s just bide our time until we’re HoH next week. Um Hello?! The game is played every day, not just on Thursdays and Mondays!!
Hey, Producers!
Wish you were reading these comments — notice the use of “hum-drum, “illogical,” and, above all, “BORING!!” I think you must be hoping that the ratings will become so bad that the show will be cancelled and you will all go on to bigger and better things–I wouldn’t count on that.
Sad sad times, but this looks about right. Doesn’t anyone want to win $500k?
I am the only one wishing for a Vanessa HOH next.
She would get everyone to spill the beans on Austwits and that should be fun.
Yes, you are the only one.
I would love to see her win and go after the Austwins, but I think she would win and go after John or James. We all know that Vanessa can be worked up thanks to paranoia, so maybe the first one could happen, but the other HGs don’t seem to get that. Get in her ear and start causing some drama!
In a small subtle way, Vanessa has already begun shifting gears. Earlier in the week she hinted to Steve that Austin needs to be the target next week. I see one of 2 things happening next week. Either she will win HOH and backdoor Austin. She wants to take his place with the twinnies. Now would be the time. OR she loses HOH and outs the Austwins as she aligns with Meg and James and drags Steve along with her. She could shift the target from her to the Austwins (particularly Austin) if she creates enough paranoia at the right time.
Liz is the perfect lynch pin to evict first if you just want to split up the triplets. BUT getting Asstin out first would be smart to slide in to his role with the Twits. Liz will be ticked for a half minute (because her itch won’t be scratched anymore), but with Julia and Van whispering in her ear…. Pretty genius.
I’m almost ready to join you in that wish. Vanessa strategizes every minute of every day. The others, as Lilly said, only come out to play on Thursdays and Mondays. I’m so over the summer camp mentality and lack of any so-called strategies by the others. I HATE the way she plays her game. But by golly, she’s still there. She’s a target for the whole house but somehow manages to escape certain eviction. I give her credit for that. I also give her credit for coming to play, unlike the rest. There’s NOTHING about Vanessa that i like….except her ability to strategize while those around her get lost in her vapor.
*heavy sigh* I’m about to jump on your bandwagon, BLKG and Cat. Perhaps that’s why Van is a good poker player. Many scoff at her winning at poker because she’s been so emotional in the BB house. I get it. I can’t stand her voice anymore either. But she is a competitor. She does not like to lose. Something no one else in that house apparently – even the stupid wrestler-wanna-be – is. Even my boy James only seems to compete between 12-hour naps!! (You think maybe I could sneak in the BB house and slap James just once before production dragged me out? Maybe that would wake him up again like Jason’s eviction did!)
What’s up with Becky’s foot?
How can you tell? Aren’t they all in bed?
Yeah, they’re all in bed (except Austin). I was reading about her foot (or toe actually) being swollen and she wasn’t able to walk on it. A Dr. was called. Just wondering how her foot got that way. Also read it happened during OTEV.
Just showed it on the feeds, propped on pillows – even looked like she was shivering under the blankets. Feedsters commented it was hurt on her HoH comp, then reinjured on Otev, may have been infected. Also surmising she has a fever. Not sure how much is for certain.
You think she’ll use it as an excuse for them to keep her? She becomes less of a threat comp wise when injured.
Who knows. Oh, Lizzuuh just spilled coffeeyuuuhh alluuuh over herruuuuh. It explodedddduuuh on her! Waaaaa waaaa waaaa. (To which Asstin claimed BB never fixed anything.) She gets younger and stupider by the day.
You are hilarious Lilly 🙂
Seriously, Austin actually loaded the coffee pot incorrectly so when she pulled the pot out, the grounds went all over her. Of course, he was making her coffee and breakfast IN BED, which she just finished eating. Now she ragging him like they’ve been married for 20 years. Geez! In that hideous, whiny, uuuuuhhhhh voice!!!!! (I may switch to the other camera where someone is just sleeping.)
So they’re over the honeymoon stage eh? hahaha!
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.
I have stopped watching BB this season, this cast is too boring to watch! I now keep up to date from this site and Joker’s. BB production needs to find better people to cast instead of the “pretty and clueless” youngish people they are currently casting. I like the days when the cast was more diverse and easier to relate to.
Preachin’ to the choir here, Bosco. Even the feeds are snoozers this afternoon (literally–everyone but Austin is sleeping apparently).
I’d rather watch Bachelor in Paradise! At least they do stuff! And has more drama for your mama!
And more strategic. I miss those days too. I actually like this cast, only for the drama they caused in the first few weeks, but this week has been worse than watching paint dry. Things have gone from interesting to down right stupid.
I keep watching only because there is nothing else on (summer sucks for TV, all reruns). I look forward to chatting with everyone here much more than the actual program.
We all miss those days. They’ve turned it into a realworld meets soapopera’s series.
