When you look at the game from Vanessa's perspective, what is her best move going to be at this point? She has won HoH the week before a double eviction. Despite the fact she has no idea it is coming how best can she better her game and ensure her safety at the next eviction? This is the question that I would like to figure out the answer for.
Vanessa has put Meg and James on the block for eviction. She in her eyes, gave them an opportunity to form an alliance with her, or at the very least give her a reason to not put them on the block. So she feels justified in putting them up for eviction. Despite the popularity of James and Meg, putting them on the block is the best option for Vanessa. They are not loyal to her and in fact would be the most likely to put her on the block in case of an unlikely HoH win. However with this double eviction looming there is a very real possibility of James winning that HoH and evicting her unless she can win that POV comp. For the other houseguests with the exception of Steve and John, this is the prime opportunity to get rid of Vanessa. She is someone who can talk her way out of anything. And with a sped up eviction she will not get that chance.
At this point Meg and Julia are on the block together, Vanessa needs Meg to be voted out, but she needs Austin and Liz to take the blame for it. Unfortunately, with Julia on the block it looks like their hands are tied and they have no choice but to vote out Meg. Perhaps she can mend fences with James now that he is safe, and try to convince him that the Austwins are the bigger threat and they absolutely cannot make it to final six. It is the truth after all if they make it to final six intact then they control half the votes and it will make it very hard to get them out of the game.
I think getting Meg out, smoothing over her relationship with James, keeping the alliance with Steve and Johnny Mack, and secretly turning on the Austwins in the next two votes would be her best move. Let Meg take the fall for James, and get him on your side. She absolutely does not want him to go to the final two, but if she can get him on her side for at least one to two votes then she will be golden. But she still needs to be okay with the Austwins because if she openly turns against them and then they happen to win HoH at some point soon then she will be their target.
This will be a tough road for Vanessa to make it to the final two but she can do it. And if she does I think she has the most compelling case to win the game, provided that she owns up to her game.
