Jeff came closer than I thought he would in Big Brother 17 Episode 11 but was unable to secure the votes to stay. Liz and Shelli then won HOH.
Austin’s not happy with the votes. He’s so clueless that he continues to not know that Liz is the fourth vote. The rest of her alliance isn’t taking the hint that her being in her bed with Jeff probably meant something either.
In Liz’s HOH room is not a recent picture. No, it’s one from when she was younger and had missing front teeth. That way the dentist can’t see the crown.
Austin’s trying to get Jackie on his side, apparently. His method to do this is to tell her she’s going to go on the block as a pawn, which he hasn’t discussed with his alliance.
Remember last week and the week before when John was nominated as the person to throw the battle of the block? Yeah, that’s going to happen again. Clay isn’t even subtle about it. He pulls John out of the room of actual targets so they can discuss.
Audrey throws Jason under the bus to Shelli. Better him than her.
Liz’s Nominations
James
Jackie
Shelli’s Nominations
Jason
John
I don’t think they would be upset to see any of these people leave, but Jason is the target to go home.
Jackie wants to get some answers from Liz, who takes offense at her attempt to do this. She doesn’t understand why she should explain herself. For his part, Jason is able to get answers from Shelli, who realizes she may have made a mistake by listening to Audrey.
Audrey’s attempt at damage control would have been better off unsaid because she’s just making Shelli more suspicious.
In the battle of the block, they have to find four sets of keys to free a dummy. Jason and John find the first key quickly. Then they go up to the pile of leaves, where Jackie and James have conveniently tossed a key on top of the leaves for them. With that, the outcome is seeming pretty apparent. Eventually, though, James and Jackie catch up, and it all comes down to who can smash open the pumpkin with the key inside first. That would be James and Jackie, who win the battle of the block and dethrone Liz as HOH.
