Day 51 in the Big Brother house. It is right after the Nomination Ceremony. Becky’s main target this week is Vanessa. Becky wants the entire responsibility of this week on her hands. Vanessa is becoming very paranoid, suspecting that she could be a backdoor target. The important focus of the week is the Power of Veto.
The game talk is all about the POV. Shelli is caught in the middle. She doesn’t want to tell Vanessa the truth but promises to pick Vanessa if she gets houseguest choice. Vanessa tries to persuade Shelli and Steve to pick her for HG choice. Then Shelli and Johnny Mac talk operation ‘backdoor Vanessa’ and Johnny Mac promises to save Shelli if he wins POV. He then tells Steve the plan and that Steve is 100% safe if he remains on the block come eviction night. Vanessa thinks she could be the backdoor target this week. If only she know she is 100% correct. She is the only person I don’t want to win the POV.
It is time to pick players for POV. HOH Becky and nominees Shelli and Steve are obviously playing. Austin is selected, Shelli gets HG choice and picks…Vanessa! This is the worst. She is the one person I really don’t want to win. Johnny Mac and Becky have to be furious. Steve selects Meg who agrees with operation ‘backdoor Vanessa.’ I’m hoping the plan is ok and that Vanessa doesn’t win POV. Shelli tells Johnny Mac why she chose Vanessa. I get Shelli’s choice, but it could really backfire on the whole house right now. Shelli’s closest ally in the house is Vanessa, but I still hope Shelli will do the right thing and take her out.
The POV tonight is one where the HG play the competition one by one. The competition brings the return of #BBComics. Each player must match the BBComics studio wall in the correct order on their computer. The fastest time wins POV. You really have to pay close attention because many of the comics have decoys on the wall. I have a feeling Meg is not winning this competition. ‘Basic’ Becky is motivated to win this thing and complete the plan of backdooring Vanessa. I have another feeling that Becky is not winning this either.
Shelli wants to win to obviously save herself. She does the memorize four comics at a time strategy. I like this plan. Austin is up next. He could have a decent shot to win. I would hope that he doesn’t use it to save Vanessa. Steve is up next. He is one of the smartest people and the best thing he can do is win POV to make sure Vanessa will 100% be nominated. Vanessa is the last HG to compete. She wants to win to make sure she is completely safe this week. I honestly have no idea who is going to win. Anybody but Vanessa.
The rest of the house comes out to look at their comics. It is time to find out who won POV. Meg beats out Shelli, Becky and Austin. Steve crushes it in 13:57 and leads the competition. It is down to Steve or Vanessa. You know the whole house is holding their breath. Vanessa did it in over 20 minutes which means STEVE wins Power of Veto this week!! ‘Backdoor’ Vanessa is still happening!
Vanessa tries to get some information from James about what she thinks is the house plan(backdoor Johnny Mac). James immediately chats with his girls. He tells them that Vanessa has a feeling she is going on the block. Vanessa goes to the HOH room to try and feel out Becky. Vanessa is doing everything she can to save herself. Becky promises Vanessa she is not going up. Classic Big Brother move. Vanessa literally has no idea. Basic Becky’s plan is going to work.
This POV Meeting should be a classic. It is going to be a complete blindside. Steve obviously uses the POV to save himself. The moment is here. Becky addresses the house and cuts right to the chase…nominating Vanessa. Basic Becky’s speech is outstanding. She calls her out in front of the entire house. AWESOME. Becky is the best. Vanessa is crushed obviously. The best part is tomorrow night is DOUBLE EVICTION night!!! The house is going to go crazy.
Who will be the first houseguest evicted tomorrow night…Shelli or Vanessa?
Random thoughts about tonight’s episode:
Steve HATES Becky. It is really awkward. Even more awkward than him only talking to the camera. It is just creepy.
Jackie’s show of removing her knight’s costume had the house going. It literally had James falling out of his chair.
It seems that Liz has developed some feelings for Austin. Julia’s face when watching them flirt is hilarious.
I will admit…BBComics is pretty cool. You have to be super creative to come up with these.
‘Austin the Barbarian’ promises he doesn’t have body odor.
James’ ‘Captain Camo’ thinks he would lose in a battle to Audrey’s ‘The Blanket.
Vanessa is very smart. She is great at reading people. She needs to go…now
Quote of the episode, “I just got out of the devil’s lair!”—James
My favorite POV Meeting so far this season. Becky is awesome. That is why she is in my top three.
