Big Brother 17: PoV Episode Blog Party - July 15

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? Although the live feed observers already know, tonight's show will focus on the Power of Veto comp and renom (if any). Will John and James remain on the block? I guess we'll see! (Even though many of us know, but that's beside the point.)

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Gee, the show is starting off with a recap. That's new and different.

Or not. The only new bit is a note read that says every time Gronk calls them to a party, they must go.

Vanessa wants Jeff or James gone even though it's John and James on the block. James thinks Audrey is the backdoor target. Vanessa is leaning towards James going home (at least that's the editing).

Liz advises Julia to cover her tooth. She has a crown that has already been noticed by Johnny Mac, the dentist.

Austin leads Jeff into thinking that Audrey is the target.

Time to pick players for the Veto comp! Vanessa gets Shelli, John gets Houseguest's Choice and goes with Austin. James gets Audrey. The show is being edited to make viewers believe Vanessa's target is James and she doesn't want the noms changed. That is so not the case. She's been after Jeff from the get-go as an alternate.

The Veto Comp is a Vegas Party set up. They have head-to-head Gronk and Roll Party inside giant dice and have to have the correct number showing on top. It's similar to a past comp, but can't remember it it was just last season or the season before.

Vanessa goes against Audrey. Vanessa throws the first round to Audrey.

John goes against Audrey. John wins the round.

James against Austin. Austin wins.

Shelli versus Austin. Austin wins.

The final match-up is Austin against Johnny Mac. WOOT! Johnny Mac wins the Power of Veto!

Vanessa fusses at Austin for losing, saying he threw the comp and just wants to get Jeff out while she wanted the least amount of blood on her hands by ousting James.

If they don't show up for a Gronk Party they will be a Have Not next. The Gronk Parties start with a toga party. Pool party, shower party, and so on. They tire of partying.

Jeff goes to talk to Vanessa and pushes the Audrey card to her. She mentions she has the opportunity to take out his buddy James. Jeff gets James, Jason and Clay and tells them the plan is to get out James and not backdoor Audrey. Jason sees right through Austin's denial that he knows about it. Jeff trash talks Austin to Clay who runs to Austin to tell.

Austin runs and tells Vanessa and Audrey that Jeff is throwing him under the bus.

Vanessa confronts Jeff. He lies to her. She goes off on him and says she'll put his butt on the block.

Gronk gives them the chance to win a cruise with him. The winners of comps from the week get to participate in a luxury comp. They have to drink a drink. Meg wins!

Veto meeting time. John, of course, saves himself. Whoops, Gronk party time! Jeff goes on the block.
