Jun Song @JunDishes Sep 16
Vanessa should win despite her lame fucking pharma breakdowns and playing victim all the time.
Amanda Zuckerman @AMANDAZUCKERMAN Aug 31
Vanessa right now *praise*
Da'Vonne Rogers @DayDaVonne_ Sep 3
Well Obviously if Vanessa is in the finals she deserves to win.. she's Gepetto in a house full of Pinocchios .. she'd have my vote
Dan Gheesling DanGheesling Sep 6
If Vanessa had more fun in the house I think a lot more people would root for her. She's always so serious (& needs to own her game).
Jon Pardy @Jon_Pardy Sep 9
That Literally just blew my mind..... It's like Vanessa is just running a crazy experiment with a bunch of blind mice.....

Austin's view of Vanessa's game proves to me that she's one of the best.

Vanessa singlehandedly betrayed Austin, and now Liz wants to work with her. VANESSA IS SO GOOD.
hatters gonna hate ! Don't be bittter to her, she deserved the win ! Even she has million dollar, this is not charity to give the money to who need it.
Why Vanessa should win?
In week 1 , she is not in alliance, however she win a free pass to the next week, as a big brother fan, she know she need to sit out for HOH, because the person who usually sit out will get a free pass. One of her best move was able to convince Julia to confirm to her about the twin twist and she saw this as opportunity when both twins come together to the house together, it will bring number for their alliance called Sixth Sense. She manages to have an alliance with strong players like Shelli and Austin. She doesn't need to worry when the other side win HOH, because she can convinced them to put showmance (Clelli). She knows that having Steve in alliance also give her benefit, because he is big fans of big brother and know the detail of every single game of big brother.
In week 3, everyone wants Audrey leaving the bb house, however she knows that keeping Audrey is good for her gameplay, because people going to nominated Audrey next week. Then she needs reason to put replacement, she realized that Jeff has Jackie and Meg in pocket and he was playing a good social game. Vanessa asked Austin to confront Jeff, so she has a reason to put Jeff as replacement nomination.
In week 5, she realized nomming Austin is not good for her game, and then he put Jason as replacement nominee because Jason is in the other side, know a lot of bb game, and good social game. However in week 6, when Becky won HOH, she lost a power. At first, people think that she is the target, but she campaigned to James and Meg that she won’t go after them next week and it will be smart to keep her safe, because obviously her target is Becky while Shelli don’t campaign to James and make a stupid action. Without unanimous vote, Vanessa survived week 6.
In double eviction, Vanessa able to manipulated her minion a.k.a Steve to nominated Jackie, because she knows that Jackie going to targeted her. The results, Jackie got evict and Vanessa target leave from bb house.
In week 8, Liz won HOH; she was doing Vanessa dirty work by nomming Becky. Unfortunately, Becky left from bb house, it give Vanessa better position.
In week 9, Austin won HOH, he put Steve and John as replacement. However, Vanessa realized that Austin attitude towards her is different, she felt that Austin tries to stay away from Vanessa. From that moment she knew something fishy. When she got chose to play for POV, she knows that she needs to win that veto. Yes, and she won the veto! After won the veto, she was finding information that she doesn’t have, and she found it that Steve also took a part to backdoor her. As a result, she was not using the POV. However she tried to maintaining the relationships with Steve. In the other side Vanessa planted a seed that she will save him, however she doesn’t have the vote. She knows that if John comes back to the house, she is not his target, because possibly John will targeting AusTwins because Austin nominated her.
In week 10, Vanessa won HOH. She knows that John is everyone target except Steve, so she decided to keep the target stay of the block and put the duo from the other side on the block, Meg and James. Her target actually is James, however he able to win the POV. She knows that Meg need to leave, because if Meg survived that week, will be 2 people going after her. The second reason, people will take Meg to final 2 than Vanessa. She also don’t believe about Meg deals that if James when HOH. Meg will take Vanessa place as nominees. How can you make that stupid deal, Meg? Vanessa was thinking about the replacement nominees to ensure Meg go and she decided , it’s Julia, because Julia will secure 2 votes Austin, her sister , and she knows that Steve also have a bond with Julia, so he won’t evict her. Vanessa confirmed, if Steve evicting Julia, then 3 people going to come after him. And Meg is leaving.
In the second double eviction, Liz won HOH. For the second time, Liz doing Vanessa dirty work by put James on the hot chair. With unanimous vote, James leaving the bb house.
Vanessa, Steve, John realized they need to stick together to target Austwins. She realized that she cannot win this week HOH, because Austwins will be mad if she nominating them. So she throws to Steve and John. And the HOH of this week was Steve. He think about to nominated Twins, but Vanessa found that a wrong move, because if Austin win veto Austwin will control the vote, so she persuaded Steve to nom Julia because she is unlikely to win veto. In the POV competition, she know that if Julia win POV, Vanessa will be the replacement nominee. She convinced Julia to choose to Austin to face off as a result Austin didn't throw the POV to Julia. Therefore the twins otb, and Julia leaved the house by 3 votes.
In final 5, once again Vanessa won HOH ! 4 HOH is not easy guys ! She knows she need to win HOH. If not, once again she will be everyone replacement nominee. In final 4 , she can not compete HOH, her only chance only POV or she will get 5th. Jreng jreng , she won the final POV! For the second time, she is the only person that cast the votes. She evicted John, because Liz will take her to f2.
In final 3 part 1 HOH, she able convince Liz throws the competition to her, and she won part 1.
Unfortunately, she lost part 3 and costed her to lose the game!
4 HOH and 3 POV is not easy guys ! Strong strategy game ! It's been a year we want to find a female player with combination of incredible competition and strategy. While a male played a manipulative game, people didn't say bad things about them but keep saying it's just a game. While a female plays manipulative game people keep badmouthing them, while they didn't being mean, but just played the game to win the game ! From Vanessa's eviction interview , we know that she is a good people in real life.
Congratulations for Steve and Liz as winner and runner up of bb17 !! You guys already changed your life. Especially for Steve, your dream came true !!!
James as AFP !!!!! Yeah
Overall, it is a good season.
But it a right decision for Vanessa for nomming John with Steve.. Because
1. Vanessa cannot really control John, He is a bad minion. He doesn't want to listen to the master.
2. Vanessa doesn't need pissed Austin and Liz by nomming them. Whole Steve and John maybe pissed of with Vanessa , but Steve and John can forgive Vanessa easily.
3. Either Johnny or Steve advanced to the final 4, John/Steve will still working with Vanessa, unless they dumb enough to go final 3 with showmance.
4. Also the final 4 POV is the most important, I can guarantee Austin and Liz won't win it , because they not really good at puzzle ..
