With the houseguests spinning around for dear life, their future is (quite literally) up in the air. Four people are in jury, one will return, but at least seven are still fighting for the prize as of now.
The remaining players have been ranked based on their game moves, alliances, and potential to win the game:
- Liz
Liz is sitting in a great place to win Big Brother 17. She’s won multiple competitions, she’s in a big powerful alliance, and nobody has made a move to try and evict her yet. Right now, her side of the house is dominating the game. However, Liz is a huge target. Similar to Johnny Mac last week, he was sitting in a good place before his own allies turned against him. It only takes one wrong week for her game to blow up and Liz needs to watch out.
- Vanessa
Vanessa’s place in this game has fluctuated. For a while before and during Becky’s reign, Vanessa was a sure thing to be the next person evicted. However, the tides have turned and no one took the opportunity to get her out. The others have realized the value of keeping her for her vote, essentially gaining her some safety. Normally that would only provide a few bumps higher, but one important thing did happen to her: her conversation with Johnny Mac. She now knows that she’s at the bottom of her group with the Austwins alliance and if push came to shove, she won’t waste the opportunity to make a better move to last longer than her allies.
- Austin
Austin earned a few points for his Big Brother resume. He won the HOH competition and he built some relationships with the James/Meg alliance by not nominating them. He’s sitting in a good position with his alliances and he’s proven that he can win competitions. It’s still too early to tell if it will set him apart from his alliance members as he does stand out as a bigger threat.
- James
James is playing a safe game in the middle. People like him in the house, he’s funny and he’s entertaining. Most of his alliance members are currently sitting in the jury house. If he ever made it to the end, he has a good shot to win over their votes. However, James needs to make a big move and shift the power. He’s still stuck on the other side of the house.
- Julia
Julia, like James, is playing the middle. However, he has done more in the game than she has. She hasn’t made any big moves on her own, she hasn’t won competitions, and she isn’t proving why she should win the game. Others have noted that she isn’t a competition threat; often comparing her with Meg. (That’s not a good thing!) Julia does have some safety with her powerful alliance and being new did help her in the first few weeks as an individual player, but that only lasts for so long. Julia needs to start winning and making side deals.
- Steve
Steve nearly found himself walking out the front door. If it had not been for the Austwins alliance choosing to go with him, Johnny Mac would’ve stayed. Steve has a lot of ground to cover to make up for the week. He knows that the Austwins alliance was ready to get rid of him, so he needs to make a big move and quick.

- Meg
Meg is trying to turn her game around slowly. Like, very slow! If the Zingbot is calling her out on her bad gameplay, then she needs to start paying attention.
