Following Audrey Middleton‘s surprisingly less-than-dramatic exit on Big Brother 17 last night, the new Heads of Household quickly went to work figuring out the next set of eviction nominees. Sadly for us, they immediately decided to work together on this task, once again killing all the potential fun drama of two HoHs really battling for control.

12:00 AM BBT: Clay, Shelli and Vanessa talk game in one bedroom while Jackie and Austin talk game in another. Jackie leaves and comes in to the other room and tells them about her talk with Austin. She says he’s basically telling her about the twins but not being specific. Jackie says she told him that she doesn’t really have any targets right now.
12:40 AM BBT: Vanessa says Julia should try to make a safety deal with Jackie, but don’t tell her the truth about the twins thing. That’s giving her valuable information she doesn’t need. Vanessa tells her that Jackie wants to backdoor Steve or Austin. Julia says she wants to tell Jackie about the twin thing though.
Vanessa spills the beans to Julia that Austin told Jason all about the twins, and said he wanted to get Julia out so he could have Liz to himself. Julia is not all that surprised by this. (We’ve never thought she much liked Austin, despite her twin’s closeness with him.) She says she knows that she is the expendable one once she gets in the game.
12:50 AM BBT: Continuing her HoH manipulations, Vanessa tells Becky about the plan to target Austin as a backdoor eviction. She says Austin lied to her face and she has evidence that he betrayed her. She wants Becky to go up as a pawn with Clay. Becky agrees to do this and try to win the Battle of the Block so Vanessa gets dethroned as HoH. Then Jackie can take the blood on her hands in getting rid of Austin.
1:10 AM BBT: Vanessa moves on to tell Jason, James, and Meg about the plan to get Austin out this week. Pretty much everyone in the house is being told except Austin, of course. James has also agreed to go on the block.
1:30 AM BBT: Jason decides to tell Jackie the whole truth about the twins. Jackie had been reluctant to believe the whole thing, but now she is in the know.
Meanwhile, James says he will go up as a pawn with Liz so he can work to throw the Battle of the Block. That way he will stay up with Liz. Whomever wins the Veto Competition will then hopefully take him off the block, leaving Liz up against Austin as the renom. If that fails, Liz becomes the target.
1:40 AM BBT: Clay and Shelli talk in one room. Julia and Jackie in another. Jackie says that if she puts her (aka Liz) up, that she is not the target. They talk about Steve and Julia thinks he has been throwing comps. Julia offers Jackie a safety deal to Top 6 and says she is not working with Austin. However, she would understand if Jackie did put her up.
2:00 AM BBT: Defying all sense in our opinion, we now have a supergroup alliance of Jackie, Shelli, Clay, Vanessa, James, Jason, Meg, and Becky. Their target this week is to get Austin out of the house.
Totally clueless that practically the whole house is now after him, Austin actually volunteers to go up on the block with Liz. He wants to throw the Battle of the Block to keep her on the block. What? That’s not a very good way to be protecting your showmance, is it?
2:20 AM BBT: Vanessa lies through her teeth to her allies and tells them that Austin said he did NOT want to go on the block and that she should nominate Clay. (After she just totally turned on Austin for lying to her, go figure.)
3:00 AM BBT: Becky, Jason, Jackie and Vanessa talking. Vanessa says she feels bad but Austin lied to her face. Vanessa is afraid she is a bad person.
3:20 AM BBT: Austin tells Julia that they are not going to worry about Steve and John any more. He thinks they should be the next two to go. He says she should be friendly with Jason, Meg, and James. Austin says he thinks Jackie is going to put her up with James, but everyone is going after Steve as the target. (Um, nope, that’s you buddy.) Austin says everyone thinks Steve is America’s Player and she shouldn’t be seen with him too much.
3:35 AM BBT: Vanessa and Jackie go over the plan and they think they have it down. Vanessa says she is loyal until you screw with her and then she’s done. They plan on how they can target the twins after Austin is gone. Becky comes in and she says they have to eliminate at least one twin before Jury so they don’t have two votes.
4:25 AM BBT: Julia tells Vanessa that Austin was actually the person who threw the hinky vote to keep Audrey. He had hoped the other Houseguests would think it was Steve. Vanessa then tells Julia all about the plan to backdoor Austin this week. Seriously, these Houseguests tell everyone everything. None of them know when or how to keep their mouths shut. Julia says she is not even going to give Liz any hint she hates Austin. Vanessa says she and Shelli will tell Liz about the plan. She says Julia needs to tell Shelli and Clay that it was Austin who voted to keep Audrey.
6:30 AM BBT: After various people wandering around here and there, everyone seems to be asleep.
