RECAP: #BigBrother17 Eviction #6 — Congratulations You Made it to Jury [Episode 20]

The power has shifted this week. The hunters have become the hunted, and tonight Clelli will end.  They show a clip of everything that’s happened this Summer. Romance, Fights, and Austin’s total creepiness.

The Sixth Sense Alliance has dominated the game all Summer, but after an epic endurance competition, the underdogs took control. James went after the power couple, and James winning the Veto sealed their fate. Shelli and Clay will be separated. Shelli and Clay refuse to campaign against eachother. They lay in bed acting like someone killed their dog. Shelli says they have 4 days left, and let’s enjoy eachother. (I guess they didn’t get the memo no one is dying.) Clay expresses how strong they are, and he’s going to enjoy the time they have left.

James says Shelli is the target this week. He hopes his mission will be completed. He’s done a lot of footwork to make this happen.

Vanessa feels bad about “Clelli” being seperated. Her preference is to keep Shelli. Shelli says she’s not campaigning against Clay. Vanessa volunteers to do it for her.

James goes to Austin, and lets him know about his conversation with Shelli, and Clay. (Shelli basically threw Austin under the bus) Austin is mad he’s being thrown under the bus because he’s been helping them out. Austin goes to Vanessa, and the twins to let them know. He added a lie to his story. He says Shelli told James about their alliance. He says he did it to protect Vanessa, and he wants to point out how sneaky “Clelli” is. Vanessa goes straight to Shelli and asks her about it. Shelli denies telling James about their alliance, but she did tell James about Austin changing Liz’s nominations. Vanessa says she wants to pull their alliance back together, so she pulls all of them together. Shelli says she was backed into a corner, and she was lied to. She says James forced her to reveal information to him. Austin is mad Shelli tried to blow up his game, but he doesn’t want their alliance to crumble. They all make up, and everything is great. The Sixth Sense alliance is pushing to keep Shelli over Clay.

Last Thursday Julie asked fans to send in videos. Who are they rooting for? They showed a few. Next week fans are supposed to send in videos about their favorite moments.

Julie says the Sixth Sense Alliance wants Shelli to stay, but going against the HOH can start a war with the other side of the house. Everyone is hanging out in the HOH. James asks if everyone is on the same page about sending Shelli home. Austin and Vanessa both want to convince James the better option is to keep Shelli. James asks Clay has expressed he wants to go home, so why not send him home next week? When Jackie and James are alone, Jackie says she’s questioning Vanessa’s intent. She thinks Vanessa isn’t sending Shelli home. She’s planning something. Jackie says Vanessa is ready for war. Jackie points out Austin is also on the edge. She knows they’re going to screw them.

Julia, and Liz are torn. Liz wants to keep Shelli because of friendship. Julia is the twin with reason. She points out how this is an opportunity to get rid of a big player. They have to do what’s best for their game. Austin is also about 50/50. Vanessa comes in and says if Clay stays he’ll flip to the other side. Austin doesn’t want to piss off the other side of the house. Why rock that boat?

The amount of “Clelli” in this episode is ridiculous. They’re crying in bed, in the DR, and all over the house. Shelli can’t wait for them to be together in the outside World. It’s all sealed with a kiss. Clay and Shelli both think their bond is stronger than this game. Clay is obviously willing to give up his game for her because Shelli has a better chance of winning.

Let’s quickly talk about “The Hitmen” segment. Derrick and Cody were close in the house, and they continue to stay close. They see eachother once a month. Derrick says people still recognize him. He continues to be a police officer. He used his prize money to take his family on vacation, but the best thing he did was start a tuition fund for his daughter. I’m personally glad Derrick was smart. Anyways, he reunites with Cody, and Cody’s family. Cody says since the show he’s been modeling. (He was a model before the show.) Derrick says he likes Johnny Mac, but he’s rooting for James. They think it was a good move for James to go back on his deal and put up the power couple. They briefly talk about some of the guys willing to give up their games. Derrick asks about “Smoke bombs.” Cody says Shelli, Meg, and Becky are hot. He says he’s surprised Becky’s so hot after getting hit in the face by a train. They both think The Hitmen alliance was one of the best alliances in Big Brother history.

It’s voting time! Clay, and Shelli are both asked to give brief speeches. Clay thanks God, says hi to his family, and being in the house this Summer was a blessing. He says Shelli has a piece of his heart. He asked them to vote for Shelli to stay. (Yes, he gave up 500k for a woman he’s known for 6 weeks.) Shelli says hi to all her family back home. She calls Clay her light, and she can’t wait for them to spend time outside the house together. She throws in how she plays in a loyal game, so it’s good to be with her. The vote is unanimous. Clay is evicted. He gives everyone hugs, and of course Shelli is sobbing. Clay leaves. 

Clay meets Julie. She starts with a statement about how much he must really love Shelli to give up 500k. He says he wanted to give Shelli a shot at the game, and a few other tidbits about their relationship. Julie asks if it’s the real deal. Clay says he thinks so. Julie asks if he loves her. Clay calls it “a big word.” (Apparently Clay’s not ready to say he loves her quite yet.) Julie takes a jab at him. She asks about him playing competitive football, has he ever quit before? Clay doesn’t call it quitting. Clay watches goodbye messages. Meg says she’ll miss his pretty face, and how he does his hair for 5 hours. Austin says it’s the hardest thing he’s ever had to do. Shelli sobs about him being her heart and light. At the end of the interview Julie asks about the grabby hugs with Meg. Clay says she’s had a showmance with almost everyone in the house, but he loves her anyways.

Before the HOH competition starts Julie congratulates them. They’ve made jury. She warns just because they made jury doesn’t mean they are done with the game. (hint hint: a returning hg is possible.)

HOH Comp tonight is called “Midway Mayhem.” Here’s how the competition is played: They first fill up their funnels. Then they have to walk their full funnels over to their gas tanks. The path is slippery, so they have to walk very slow and carefully. There are 3 checkered balls. 2 of them are prizes. (A never have not pass, and 5 thousand dollars.) One of the balls is for HOH. It’s possible for them to get all 3. The game begins. It’s not finished by the end of the show.

Julie announces next week is a double eviction! Tune in Sunday to find out who wins HOH, and Wednesday to find out who wins the veto. Don’t forget the 24/7 unedited feeds!
