Becky was evicted in Big Brother 17 Episode 26, a pretty predictable result despite all the talk of getting rid of Vanessa.
Meg was the first person eliminated from the HOH competition at the end of the last episode. Julia eliminates herself by moving her hand off the buzzer. Vanessa does the same. Finally, the race is on, and John is eliminated. Steve is the next victim of a false start. Austin beats James to win HOH.
In theory, everybody who was competing for that wanted to get rid of Vanessa. Surely it can’t be the best thing for everyone’s game. John’s not sure Austin would be that dumb. The twins didn’t want him to win either.
Everybody in the house is in an alliance with Austin, so now he needs to decide which of those alliances to cut. He tells James and Meg that he’s keeping that alliance. That leaves, John, Steve, and Vanessa.
John’s the one certain nomination. Now they need a pawn to go up against him. As they are discussing this, Vanessa refuses to acknowledge that Austin was her target when she was HOH. Now he says he can’t trust her any more because she’s lying to him. Oh, this story again. That was actually her excuse and the reason why she should have followed through. Austin, who’s been lying the whole game, is upset by the same thing that upset her. Such a dysfunctional alliance. One problem with these stupid lies is that they tell everybody else in the house the truth, so nothing stays secret for long.
Steve says he is willing to be the pawn. But only if he is not up against John. That seems like a rather unusual request.
After being pushed again, Vanessa finally admits that she was targeting Austin.
Nominations
John
Steve
I don’t think there was ever really any chance of a Vanessa nomination, though perhaps as a backdoor.
