John & Becky won the battle of the block in Big Brother 17 Episode 3, leaving Steve & Jackie on the block and dethroning Jason as HOH. Supposedly, Steve and Jackie are both pawns to get rid of Jace, but neither should feel very safe.
His alliance isn’t big enough yet, so now James also wants to work with Meg and Clay. Basically half the house. Yeah, this will last.
Austin is starting to notice that people seem annoyed by Jace. It was pretty obvious that as allies go, Jace was not a good one. His resolution is not to drop him but to form an alliance with James and Audrey that neither is interested in honoring.
James chooses Becky at random to play in the veto competition. Jackie picks John. Steve picks Jason (houseguest’s choice).
Da’Vonne is counting everthing, which is pretty smart, but she’s being stupidly obvious about it. Jeff asks her what she’s doing, and she freaks out because, well, I don’t know why exactly. Then she decides Clay is also an appropriate target to flip out at, apparently because he sent Jeff into the room to spy on her. He tells her that her attitude is just so negative. Then she’s crying in the diary room. And then she gets annoyed with Audrey, too. So much drama.
Their veto challenge is to dig through gold in water and mess to find letters and spell. James manages to come up with a 9 point word. Becky spelled lovesick, a 7 point word. Jason spelled zones (really?), a 6 point word. Jackie spelled judge, equally as bad. Steve spelled trombonist, a ridiculous 12 point word that pretty much nobody else would have spelled. John spelled boogers, a 7 point word. Steve has won the power of veto.
Now Audrey wants Shelli to join their dysfunctional alliance. Jeff, too. Neither HOH likes that she’s making these decisions on her own. Jeff’s not happy either, and Meg would like to know why Audrey is dragging him out of bed with her.
Steve uses the power of veto to save himself. In his place, James nominates Jace as planned. Seems like much ado about nothing earlier, but it will end up mattering eventually.
