Big Brother 17: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 19

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? We have OTEV ahead!

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!

Recap and the promise of the world premiere of OTEV, Rock and Roll. John wants to win veto, pull himself down and get Vanessa out.

Vanessa wants to smooth things over with Johnny Mac. He does not trust her, not at all. He tells us that he wants everyone to know she's his sworn enemy and the only one he wants to go after.

Meanwhile, the Austwins are worried that JM is after them. Steve wants to work with John and have him remain loyal to him. He talks to Austwins about bringing him into the fold.

JM talks to the Austwins. He tells them about why he's after Vanessa. Every time Vanessa has had a blow-up with anyone, they've gone home. He talks about her wanting to backdoor Austin. Happy with his talk, the Austwins like him.

Time to pick players for the veto comp! Liz draws Houseguest's Choice and goes for Austin. John got Meg. Becky got Steve. Julia pouts that she never gets picked.

Johnny Mac trusts Austwins and will be throwing the comp. Now, that's crazy! Liz is wondering what will happen if Becky wins. He tells Becky that he's going to throw it because he wants her to win. Silly crazy dentist dude!

Time to Rock and Roll. It's the OTEV veto comp set up with dishes of food and a rockin' OTEV. He'll sing a song about an evicted guest and they have to find the BUTTER card for each out of a dish. Done in rounds, of course.

Round One - Song ends in "Oh Mylanta" -- of course, Jason. Johnny Mac out in the first round, thrown as promised. 

Round Two - "First go in the double eviction" -- Shelli. Meg faceplants trying to get up to OTEV. Steve is out. He also threw it.

Round Three - "Texas size tears, he was one away from jury" -- Clay. Becky manhandles Austin and takes his pile of butter cards. Karma, I guess. Becky is out. 

Round Four - "Evicted second, it was a very bad day." -- Da'Vonne. Meg is out. 

Round Five - "... even though my face got taken off the Memory Wall." -- Jace. Austin out, Liz wins the Power of Veto!

John thinks the veto won't be used and all he needs to do is not make any waves. 

Vanessa plays happy with Liz, but she's worried she will be backdoored. She reminds Liz of Audrey #2. 

Ew. Liz has a hickey, Julia is disgusted. So am I. How juvenile! 

Vanessa cries to Steve and Liz about how alone she is. Poor victim. Liz is worried that Vanessa will target Austin. 

Time for the veto meeting -- 
Becky: One week ago, I kept you, your sister and Austin safe, please use veto on me.
John: Blue couches are way more comfortable, don't want to talk to Julie on Thursday, please use the veto on me.

She does not use the power of veto.
