We join the house at day 16 right after the BOTB competition. Jason and Steve are pumped that they are off the block and Becky still thinks the plan is to backdoor Audrey. Da’Vonne is upset and thinks that John threw the BOTB competition. John celebrates with Clay and Shelli in the HOH room. Clay and Shelli get close in the HOH room while James and Jason talk strategy and Audrey listens through the wall. It still seems that the majority of the house wants to backdoor Audrey.
Liz and Julia switch for the sixth time so far during the game. I’m enjoying this twist and very surprised that the rest of the house hasn’t picked up on it so far. Shelli, Da’Vonne, John, Clay, Meg and Steve are the HG participating in the veto competition. Audrey tries to talk strategy and convince Clay to keep her safe. Da’Vonne is convinced the entire house is out to get her and that she must win the POV.
The POV Competition is called “High Maintenance.” In this competition, when your name is drawn you must challenge another play. You will hear Kathy Griffin list off a list of items to her assistant, but her assistant is going to forget one. You must be the first one to retrieve the missing item and hit the buzzer. The last HG remaining will win the Power of Veto. John is drawn first and he challenges Da’Vonne. She is furious when picked. They both study the picture and are both struggling and John finally realizes and he eliminates Da’Vonne from the competition. Da’Vonne feels her only hope is John to win so he will save himself and they can backdoor Audrey.
Steve challenges Clay in the next round. They both immediately recognize what’s missing and it is a close race but Clay eliminates Steve. Meg and Shelli face off in the next round. Shelli is the first one back but brings back the wrong item and is eliminated. John challenges Meg in the next round. John cruises through this round and eliminates Meg. John and Clay are in the final round. John beats Clay and wins the Power of Veto. It is now going to be interesting who Shelli is going to nominate since John will be coming off the block.
Clay and Shelli talk in the HOH room about the plan to get out Da’Vonne. Shelli brings in Becky and tells her their current plan. Becky is on board because it keeps her name out of trouble. Vanessa talks with Shelli about a possible pawn to put up once John uses the POV. Clay and Shelli had an idea that maybe John wouldn’t use the POV but John quickly clears that up and that leaves the task of deciding who is going up in his place. James, Da’Vonne and James are talking downstairs and James says if Audrey doesn’t go up this week…”we will know what time it is!”
Shelli brings Liz to the HOH room and tells her she is thinking about using her as a pawn. This upsets Liz and makes her nervous but she volunteers to take one for the team. Austin wants to keep Liz off the block and he hears Meg and the guys all talking early in the morning and comes up with a plan to try and keep Liz off the block. Austin and Vanessa join Clay and Shelli in the HOH room and say they should nominate Meg because it would eliminate Da’Vonne having the votes to stay this week.
Just when it seems they have decided on a pawn for this week, Audrey and Clay have a discussion/argument where Audrey pleads her safety since she feels abandoned and the target for this week. Clay talks with Shelli about how he doesn’t trust Audrey at all. It seems at this point it is anybody’s guess who is going to be nominated.
It is time for the POV Ceremony. John calls everybody into the living room. Everybody expects John to use the POV on himself, which he obviously does. Shelli now has to decide who to put up in John’s place. Shelli decides to nominate Meg in his place. Meg knew a pawn was going to be nominated but was hoping it wouldn’t be her. Shelli is happy that her plan is still in action and Da’Vonne still believes she has a chance. It will be interesting to see who gets the ‘Last Laugh’ twist which could affect the outcome of this eviction.
Who will be evicted next from the Big Brother house…Da’Vonne or Meg?
