Everybody continued to go on and on about supposedly wanting to get rid of Vanessa in Big Brother 17 Episode 28. It probably wasn’t going to happen anyway (again), but then she won veto, leaving the nominations the same with Steve and John remaining on the block.
Vanessa starts crying after the veto ceremony (after she gets done attacking Steve). I think I’ve seen this plot before. Austin and the twins just play along. Sure, Steve, the outsider, was the mastermind behind forcing the strongest alliance in the house to target her. That makes so much sense.
Then one of the twins confronts John. Why would he tell Vanessa about their 5 person alliance? The one that they threw in the trash when they they put 2 of the 5 members on the block.
The twins call Vanessa the swing vote. Vanessa denies this. She just wants to do whatever they want. Great. We seem to be getting nowhere here.
I’m not sure how much it really matters. Whoever stays is in the middle of the house caught in between two alliances with Vanessa.
Votes
Meg: John
James: John
Vanessa: John
Julia: John
Liz: John
By a vote of 5-0, John has been evicted from the Big Brother house. Boo. Farewell to the life of the party. I’m not sure what he did wrong to get eliminated, but that’s kind of the point. I’m not sure what he did right either. If anything, he may have been sunk by the fact that the upcoming twist was revealed weeks ago. Nobody wants to upset an alliance that may just be brought back together right after the eviction.
When asked who he would target if he were to come back in the house, John responds Meg. That seems odd. In either case, he would be willing to work with Vanessa. It’s not like either of them have much choice.
Shelli, Jackie, Becky, and John will now have a chance to return to the house. Becky and Jackie would clearly seek to make the Meg/James alliance a threesome, which is what made keeping that pair in the house very dangerous. The path the other two may take is not so clear.
In this competition, Dizzyland, they will hold on to a rope and go around in circles and spin some. The last person standing will be HOH. The last juror standing will return to the game.
So, this is an endurance competition. Supposedly. Steve, Julia, and Meg have already been eliminated in the time it took to go to a commercial break.
