The current plan is to Backdoor Jace but Clay wants to make sure they’re in a good position when that happens. He knows Liz and Austin are tight with Jace so they’ll need to pin this plan on someone they don’t mind seeing go next should the power shift. Smart move because fans know the power loves to shift on Big Brother.
Audrey seems to test the waters on another concern she has that Clay might be getting too close with Jeff. She suggests keeping Jace and BD’ing Jeff instead. Clay says he’s down for that, but then Audrey pulls back so she might just be gauging his response.
Most interesting part from this was when Audrey starts to push a triangle alliance between her, Clay, and Shelli. Audrey presses that she’s worried Clay with screw over her and Shelli, but he promises he won’t do anything like that.
Next Audrey “dares” Clay to steal a kiss from Shelli. So is this just friendly interest in seeing allies couple up? Nah, this is all part of Audrey’s plan. In our preseason interview Audrey told me she wanted to encourage a Showmance and then hide behind it as a “meat shield.” That’s exactly what she’s trying to put in place here. Watch the clip below that starts at the point of interest.
Clay & Audrey’s conversation lasts uninterrupted for over thirty minutes and it’s worth watching. Audrey seems a little paranoid, but this could work out well for both of them in the long run.
