Reading this long conversation which was in Updates but now may be in Highlights, of Vanessa talking to Liz-- I AM now totally inclined to believe that Vanessa will take Liz to F2, if she is HOH. And, for what seems like the thousandth time this season, Vanessa has chosen a great moment to cosy up sincerely with artful manipulation, to a HG (this time Liz) -- which, if Liz gets Final HOH, will cause her to want to bring Vanessa to F2 as well.
With Steve -- I'm not sure if he really threw that Final POV. He said he did in that rambling, crying monologue just that one time. But Steve's so all over the place emotionally, and with the way he thinks out loud as he goes through various scenarios in his mind, it's hard to know what is REALLY happening. On the TV show -- and with his commentary -- it sure looked like he was genuinely befuddled with the game, which, had he won it, could have enabled him to boot Vanessa -- putting him in the catbird's seat. (This is an aside -- where in the world does the phrase "In the catbird's seat" come from??? -- LOL!!!) ANYWAY, Steve would have been sitting in it. SOMEWHERE I read or heard that he was simply feeling cocky going into that competition, instead of preparing for it adequately -- BUT that could just be Steve, who ALWAYS is forever beating up on himself -- blaming himself for anything that goes wrong -- when, in all actuality, sometimes things just GO WRONG! And "ain't nothing he can do about it!!"
NOW -- the truth is Steve is NOT a comp beast like Vanessa! In fact -- what is genuinely funny is that 2 of his wins were sort of mistaken wins -- the DE win where he tried 3 times to give the "wrong" answer that turned out to be right, and then the F4 HOH, where he put down the wrong number, winning that F4 HOH with simply pure luck.
Vanessa IS a comp beast, AND she is a truly amazing master manipulator, and I whole-heartedly agree that she deserves to be crowned the Queen of BB17 and all it's lands! But you now what?? All that crying that everybody is so annoyed with (including myself!!) I've come to believe is genuine. Oh yes, some of the tears -- maybe a great deal -- is manipulation -- but I think an awful lot is true human feelings of remorse and sadness. The Gamer in her wins and rules the day -- but at heart she's also a real mensch!
