Liz nominated Becky and John after winning HOH in Big Brother 17 Episode 24, but her real target is, well, I guess we’ll find out.
Right after the nomination, Vanessa goes to talk to John again. His response: she is his sworn enemy. They think they can still trust him, but they shouldn’t. Next up, Liz and Austin. He’s willing to work with them, at least until he gets rid of Vanessa.
Liz picks Austin (houseguest’s choice) to participate in the veto competition, which results in a sour face from Julia. John picks Meg at random. Becky picks Steve.
John’s planning to throw the competition, which seems pretty risky at this stage of the game. He hopes to get on the good side of Liz and Austin by doing this, but how far can you really get with twins and a showmance?
It’s the return of Otev, complete with annoying and repetitive singing, which isn’t funny after the 10th time. Or the 30th. This is pretty much a dumb luck searching game while getting messy. John is eliminated on the first question. Steve is next. Then Becky. Meg is next. Liz beats Austin to win the power of veto.
Vanessa continues to play hard, as she has all along. I’m not sure this is helping or hurting her any more.
Liz had done a lot of protesting about her and Austin, but the pretending seems to be completely over now that they’re turning out the lights and she is getting hickeys.
So after Vanessa’s earlier paranoia, now comes the tears. She confides in Liz that she’s not sure about Austin any more. That’s a pretty stupid thing to do.
Liz has been doing an awful lot of talk about how she can’t stand Vanessa and wants to get rid of her, but it would just be a dumb move. Creating an enemy out of Vanessa seems rather pointless and quite dangerous, especially since it sounds like a jury member will be returning. In the end, she decides not to use the power of veto.
