John won the power of veto and pulled himself off the block in Big Brother 17 Episode 7, forcing Shelli to admit her plan to more people than she wanted and nominate Meg as a pawn against Da’Vonne.
Jason’s praying for some hope, but he seems pretty sure he’s the only one who cares to keep Da’Vonne around.
Kathy will be calling them 15 times, so each person will be able to answer once. The “random” person to answer the 7th call will win the power to void 3 people’s votes.
Clay says 7 is his lucky number. Da’Vonne doesn’t want it that way. It’s her lucky number, too. So she answers the call. Totally believable that this is just a coincidence.
Now she needs to secure 4 more votes since Jason is a lock. Audrey seems like one of the more likely choices. If Da’Vonne goes, Audrey goes right back to the top of the list, where she should have been this week. John and Vanessa have also agreed to vote out Meg, but they don’t seem to have much reason to do so.
The twin twist went off without a hitch when they first did it over a decade ago, but it’s not working now. The fact that it’s been done before is a problem, but also Liz and Julia have been busted because they don’t look exactly identical.
This gives Da’Vonne some ammo. She tells Liz that “people” (such as Da’Vonne) are saying she is a twin. This doesn’t seem like a smart move to tell everybody she’s a twin and then say you want to work together.
Da’Vonne’s choices for votes that do not count are:
Becky
Jeff
Jackie
The lack of Clay seems a little odd. Perhaps she was just trying to throw him off the scent, but it’s not like he doesn’t know.
Votes
Jason: Meg
Clay: Da’Vonne
John: Da’Vonne
Audrey: Meg
Austin: Da’Vonne
Liz: Da’Vonne
Vanessa: Da’Vonne
James: Da’Vonne
Steve: Da’Vonne
By a vote of 7-2, Da’Vonne has been evicted from the Big Brother house. She sunk herself. She seemed to be in a good position early on, but then she flipped out at multiple people, including her allies, for seemingly little reason. Rather than acknowledging where she went wrong, she just keeps calling everybody cowards, claiming that they don’t want to evict a transgender houseguest. Perhaps some don’t, but there are very valid reasons why Da’Vonne is talking to Julie now.
It’s time for another takeover. Great. This week’s participant is New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski.
The dumb luck HOH competition involves catapulting balls into giant cups with numbers in them. This is easy to throw if you don’t want to win, but there’s not a lot you can do to win if you really want to win.
Liz scores 23. Jackie sucks. So does John. James ties Liz at 23. Audrey gets 17, which Julie tells her is good enough before realizing the rules. Clay gets a 6. Jeff scores 14. Becky is another 0. Austin takes the lead with 28. Jason gets another 0. Meg is barely in with a 1. Steve is in and out of 28, which gives him a 0. Vanessa is the third person to score 23.
Liz, James, and Vanessa must participate in a tie breaker. Liz scores 22. James scores 35, the highest so far. Vanessa gets 52, almost the highest number there is. Vanessa joins Austin as HOH.
