All the talk about backdooring Austin amounted to just that, talk, in Big Brother 17 Episode 16, as the actual replacement nominee to go against Becky turned out to be Jason.
There’s a lot of emotion in the house following the veto ceremony, but Jason notices who’s not upset: Shelli and Clay. Their plan was to make Vanessa the bad guy, but perhaps they will not escape unscathed.
There is also a lot of surprise. Apparently, there was some belief in a final 8 alliance. Yeah, with 12 people left in the house, a final 8 really works. Even this concept of a final 6 is silly, as we have seen this week. Those in power play dumb, all denying responsibility.
Jason can easily get 3 votes, which means they would need one of the pairs in order to save him. He approaches Shelli to try to make her and Clay paranoid. He pretends that Becky is coming after them. More bad lies.
Votes
Austin: Jason
Meg: Becky
Liz: Jason
James: Becky
Steve: Jason
Jackie: Jason
Shelli: Jason
Clay: Jason
John: Jason
As split as the house is, the vote still doesn’t show it. By a vote of 7-2, Jason has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Some of these people know how to play the game when talking to evicted houseguests, who history has shown can always come back in the house. Then there are people like Liz, who is a bitch to Jason in her goodbye.
It has been 5 weeks, so it’s time to reveal the “twin twist”. Shocking. Nobody saw this coming. For weeks.
One more bit of news: the battle of the block twist is also over.
The first single HOH competition of the season is an endurance one. They will have to hang on to the crumbling cliff for as long as they can.
