Jason became the second HOH of the season in Big Brother 17 Episode 2, and Phil brought us two rather lackluster The Amazing Race contestants in Jeff and Jackie.
Jason doesn’t think John is a dentist either. I don’t get it. If you’re going to make up a story, why a dentist?
Who’s ready for a takeover? I am not. Now Phil reveals the rest of his “cliffhanger”. It’s the BB fast forward. Their games will fast forward to next week. Additionally, they will be able to pick one person each to save.
Vanessa is looking for someone to offset her skills and wants a physical threat to ally with. Da’Vonne does not want to pick one of her existing allies, leaving Shelli and Audrey hanging.
Da’Vonne saves Liz. Vanessa picks Austin. This really shrinks the pool of potential nominees.
Da’Vonne, who just declined to save her allies, now has decided she is the one who should not trust Shelli. She’s worried that Shelli is getting too close to Clay, a valid concern, and as such she needs to be on the “outer ring” of the alliance.
Austin and Jace are in an alliance. I think. I’m not sure if they are serious or not. Austin figures Jace is just a shield whose big mouth will get him in trouble. That hardly makes him a great ally.
Due to her gender identity, Audrey is safe with Jason.
Both HOHs are afraid of Jace, too afraid to nominate him directly. So they go around and warn everybody else that they are potentially going to be pawns. They don’t seem to have an actual plan.
Jason’s Nominations
John
Becky
James’ Nominations
Steve
Jackie
In theory, these are all pawns, but there is a lack of trust for at least three of these nominees, all but Becky, who is the one crying post-nomination and wants revenge, despite having willingly agreed to be a pawn without arguing about it like Steve did.
For the first battle of the block, they will transport building blocks across balance beams and build towers. With Jackie unable to compensate for her awkward partner, John and Becky win the competition and dethrone Jason.
