Big Brother 17: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 29

Good evening! Ready for a blog party?

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!

Let's get this party started!

Recap, recap, recap.

Aw, poor Shelli is upset that Clay is on the block. And, Vanessa isn't happy that she remains HoH and the plan to backdoor Austin will be on her hands. James is apologetic over winning the BOB when he was supposed to lose. Liz is very suspicious that James might have thrown the comp. Austin thinks they might have been trying to set up Liz. Of course, he thinks Steve is the backdoor target.

Liz tells us that she doesn't like Austin in a romantic way. Meanwhile, he's starting to be head over heels. Sucks to be him, eh?

Time to pick players for the veto comp! Vanessa draws first, gets Houseguest's Choice and goes for Shelli, Clay draws Johnny Mac, Becky draws Liz.

Jason, the PoV comp host, announces it's time to Get Nutty. They're dressed like squirrels. (Unlike what Meg says about not doing squirrels in NYC, they do, too. Washington Square Park even has black squirrels.) They have send nuts down a chute, retrieve them and collect them. Jason pronounces squirrel as squarel.

Clay wins the PoV! Becky cries. She's lost three comps in a row. But this one leaves her on the block. She thinks the plan to backdoor Austin is still in the works, though. Silly gal. Fickle is Vanessa.

Vanessa thinks she must tell Liz the backdoor Austin plan. She tells her that Austin told Jason about the twins. Liz knew it already. Then she said that Jason said Austin said everyone needs to go after Julia. "I don't even like him," she whines. Liz thinks they're down an alliance number if Austin goes out and he was (stupidly) trying to protect her.

Now it's time for Austin to beg for his life. I already saw this on the feeds. It went on forever. She sends him on to convince Shelli and Clay that he has a case to stay. He begs to them.

Note that Clay has a mini-Trump thing going on with his hair. Ew.

The Outback dinner prize is going down. Each can choose a guest. Vanessa, Becky. Liz, Austin. James, Clay. A good time was had by all.

Shelli works on Vanessa to not backdoor Austin and Clay backs her up. Vanessa says she can't put up Jackie because she gave her word. Jason is looking like the likely target.

Time for the veto meeting. Clay saves himself. Vanessa puts Jason up in his place. Many look confused.

I'll be posting a live feeds update later on tonight. Stay tuned!
