The new target in the Big Brother 17 house has taken to her bed for the foreseeable future.

Audrey Becomes House Pariah on 'Big Brother 17'

Head of Household: Shelli Poole

Nominees: Audrey Middleton and John McGuire

Other houseguests: Austin Matelson, Becky Burgess, Clay Honeycutt, Jackie Ibarra, James Huling, Jason Roy, Liz/Julia Nolan, Meg Maley, Steve Moses and Vanessa Rousso

'Big Brother 17' Houseguests Try To Figure Out Who Voted For James

Audrey spent over five hours in the Diary Room on Monday, with her fellow houseguests having no idea what she was doing. This overlapped with the Veto ceremony, which had to be delayed due to Audrey's presence in the DR.

Audrey finally came out of the Diary Room and immediately went to her bed, where she has rested ever since. It's been hinted at by several houseguests that she received medication of some sort, perhaps to calm her down.

The Veto ceremony was held, with Vanessa using her Power of Veto on Jason, and Shelli nominated Audrey in his place. But Audrey didn't even show up for the ceremony.

Additionally, Audrey was a Have-Not this week but she is now eating regular food ever since coming out of the Diary Room. So something major must have happened to cause Big Brother to let up on her Have-Not status.

It's more or less a done deal that Audrey will be evicted on Thursday night's live show, so talk has turned to next week.

The group of Becky, Jackie, Jason, John and Meg discussed the next targets, with Austin, Liz and Vanessa coming up most often as possibilities. Meanwhile, Shelli and Clay have even talked about not trusting Vanessa at times.

So winning HOH will be more important than ever on Thursday because we may be looking at two distinct sides of the house. Will the Vanessa, Austin and Liz group feel the sting of being nominated for the first time?

Big Brother 17 returns for a new episode on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. The episode will feature the Power of Veto competition and the Veto ceremony.
