John is on the block and on everyone’s radar. Vanessa gives him a big hug after nominations. Since he knows Vanessa got him nominated, he makes a face. Unfortunately, Austin decides John was making a face at HIM and gets all bent out of shape. “I want to hit him.” While Austin storms up to the Head of Household room to rant to the twins, Vanessa follows John into the Have Not room. All he wants to do is take a nap but Vanessa wants to talk game. Vanessa always wants to talk game. John lets her talk but he’s over it. Vanessa is his number one target.
The Austwins have serious HoHitis. They think they’re running the show. Even though they totally bought Vanessa’s lies about John (and nominated exactly who she wanted), they decide to be magnanimous and talk to John. John informs them of a pretty obvious Vanessa lie and just like that they’re against Vanessa again. It’s pretty embarrassing how easily they’re swayed. John leaves them with a final thought: “Whoever gets her evicted is, like, a god.” Hmmm, nicely played, Dr McGuire.
Head of Household Liz calls everyone into the livingroom to pick veto players. She gets houseguest’s choice so she chooses Austin. John pulls Meg (again) and Becky pulls Steve. Julia is annoyed she never gets picked to play veto. Whine, whine, whine. She’s mad at Liz for picking Austin instead of her. Maybe if Julia started winning things… John tells Austin he will throw the veto to the Austwins but secretly tells Becky he’ll throw it to her. Sneaky sneaky.
Veto Competition
The backyard has been turned into a huge picnic. There are chips and dips, pizza, nachos and pies all over the place. At the top of a picnic blanket mountain sits Otev, the Rocking Roll. As a bread, Otev is obsessed with butter but he also wants to be a rock god. He’s going to sing a song about a houseguest. Players have to slide down the picnic blanket into a pool of butter. Then they can search through food items to find the butter pat with the correct houseguest’s name on it. There is one less butter pat than player each round so someone is always eliminated. It’s a pretty standard Otev game with extra butter.
In round one, Otev sings about Jason. Vanessa, Steve and Meg are the first up the hill with the appropriate butter. John goes ahead with his plans to throw the game and just makes a big mess. Becky and Austin finally find the Jason butter and race up to Otev. John is eliminated. Then Otev sings about Shelli. Becky finds her butter pat and makes an olympic quality leap over the butter pool. Meg gets part way up and falls on her face, hard. Oh, Grandma! Instead of returning the non-Shelli butters to the jam pot, Steve makes a pile of butter for easy grabbing next round. Except he loses so there is no next round for Steve. When Otev sings about Clay, Meg is first back up the hill. Austin goes straight to Steve’s butter pile to search for Clay. Becky notices what Austin is doing and grabs Clay right out of his hands. Unfortunately, she grabbed Becky instead of Clay and, oopsie, she’s out. Now it’s down to Liz, Austin and Meg. Otev sings about Dayvonne. Austin finds her in his Steve pile. Liz also finds her so Meg is out. Will Austin throw the final round to Liz? She promises to kiss him if he wins so Austin is all fired up. When Otev asks for Jace, Austin can’t find him in Steve’s pile. Liz finds the only Jace and wins veto! Liz awkwardly kisses Austin anyway and the houseguests cheer.
Liz gets a hickey and Julia freaks out. Just wait until Julia finds out what else Austin and Liz have been doing on the feeds…
Vanessa is seriously bugging the Austwins. Her obsessive game play reminds them of Audrey and that’s not something you ever want to do in BB17. Vanessa can tell something is up so she throws another pity party for herself. Loudly. For attention. The Austwins realize that they need to do a better job of keeping her pacified until someone has the balls to evict her.
And it’s time for the veto meeting. Liz won veto so she’ll probably keep her nominations the same. Vanessa is worrying about it anyway because, Vanessa. Becky reminds Liz that she kept the Austwins safe last week when she was HoH. Lots of raised eyebrows. John explains that the black chairs (for nominees) are comfortable but he prefers the blue couches (for the safe houseguests). Everyone laughs. Liz doesn’t use veto so tomorrow either Becky or John will be going home. Vanessa lives to play another week.
Tune in tomorrow for the live eviction!
I really don’t get the mindset of these players this year. You keep a strong player (like Vanessa) in the game as a shield? Your not allowed too feel some type of way about being nominated and if you do you become a potential target? (JMac) And what’s up with the sililoqy’s from the players when noone’s in the room(Steve)? It looks so staged. The twins grate on my nerves but I can at least tolerate Julia. I’m disappointed in Meg. I still like James, Becky and JMac I just wish they would have been smarter about things. No one in there seems to have a mind of their own. There’s been like a hundred alliances, I don’t ever remember that many in all my years of watching BB. Finally…Davonne was accused of being so aggressive by the one and only person in the house (clay) who showed aggressiveness by getting in James’s face in a menacing manner. How ironic. I really wanted her to win. I hear that the feeds as well as BBAD are boring. If Vanessa or Steve doesn’t win. I’m sure one of the twins will win.
I had the best week ignoring Big Brother. Since ___ Steve ruined the game with his weird Jackie eviction, I’ve lost interest. I cringe at his silly self talk.
I glanced at 2 super big brother sites and noticed the comments were down. Usually posts would get 150+ comments per posts, now 30-50. Others seem bored too
Glad to have my life back. Thx for recap, this was more than enough.
So annoyed with Vanessa. I can’t. Ugh. I still like Meg, James, John, Becky, even Julia. The rest are like ewwww. I imagine Becky is going home unless Vanessa turns everyone against John. My wish is see Vanessa & Steve on the block, then Liz and Austin.
Despite the fact that Steve has other issues that cause him to talk to the camera, hamsters have been talking to the cameras since the show began. Most live feeders live for those moments where we can see what they are actually thinking.
I haven’t been watching as much this week either, I knew who was going home days ago. Vanessa wanted Becky gone, so she will be gone.
They have now missed THREE opportunities to get Vanessa out. If they don’t do it this coming week, they might as well hand her the money.

So last night around 11:11 on cams 3/4 in the bathroom Van starts trying to flip the vote and send JMac home. Her position is that Becky now has some sort of painful staph infection on her big toe and can’t win comps.
In other words, it’s the typical night before evictions.
Thank you, Lady Cocotte, for the update and for not being too newsy about the fingerbanging. On second thot, since the last week has been a spell of the doldrums, maybe that was the only notable explosion , except for Becky’s toe. Amusingly, feeds showed Austin crowing to Liz about their new status as a Big Brother Supercouple. He tells her that no doubt, production is filming in their hometowns now, interviewing family and friends about the new Richard Burton and Liz Taylor , history in the making. Actually, filming is happening in a hometown of a houseguest, but it is James. So, hee-haw!
The fact that Austin is fantasizing about being a SuperCouple is sooooooo
ridiculously embarrassing.
Even worse than what he was doing to Liz in the bed on the live feeds.
They will both have to eat a lot of humble pie someday, soon.
Team #AustinsAngels all the way!!
I don’t see the twins lasting long, because frankly none of them are good at competitions, but I’m pulling for them. They’re so nasty and ditzy. lol
Loving Jmac/Becky as well!
No Sale
Vanessa is a cat with nine lives.
