Big Brother 17 is back tonight on CBS at 8/7c with the Power of Veto competition that leaves the house turned upside down. Well, not literally, of course, but close to it!
Houseguests played in the “Hide & Go Veto” competition that sent six players rampaging through their dwelling looking for the chance to impact this week’s final nominations. I can’t wait to see this one play out on the show.
Heading in to this competition we saw James and Meg up on the Block after Vanessa settled on her picks, but this comp could give them the chance to change that up. They know that if they don’t save themselves then no one else will as the house is stacked against them.
We’re down to the final three weeks of Big Brother so don’t miss any of the episodes when the schedule changes due to NFL. And take note that Thursday’s episode may be pre-empted in your area so stick with us for complete live coverage.
Can’t wait for tonight’s show to get the spoilers? Find out who won the PoV competition and what happened at the Veto Ceremony.
Join us back here at 8/7c for the next Big Brother 17 episode and chat with us and other fans throughout the show before we race back to see what’s going on the Big Brother Live Feeds.

As far as I can see, James has one shot left to realistically have a chance to win and turn the house on its head one final time. He needs to win HOH for the DE, and get Liz on the block next to Van after the veto. This scenario gets Van out the door when he casts the tiebreaker. He then aligns with JMac and Steve to go after Austin and the twins in the final rush to the season ending. Both of them would roll with this, as they have no other alternatives. Otherwise, James gets picked off quickly–possibly as soon as tomorrow night. Winning the veto or HOH every week isn’t realistic and as long as Van is around, he’s gone once he doesn’t have guaranteed safety.
Bold move, to be sure–but I don’t see any other options. He becomes the top target for the Austwins of course, but the alternative is to be sent packing immediately.
Woooweee. If James gets Van out during the DE that’d be one wild episode.
I think you’re right that he’s just waiting for his eviction otherwise.
Sure looks that way. Van has been with Austin and the twins since the very beginning of the game–I don’t care what she says–she’ll never put them up until there’s nobody else left in the house. She simply wants Steve and JMac to do it for her if they can. They have to know she’s full of it and would abandon them at the drop of a hat if she really had to choose a side, but it’s not like they have any other current options. Hopefully, James changes the calculus tomorrow night to make things interesting.
I think they know they have to get her out. Steve has said it a few times. But the bigger question is does Austin see that Vanessa left JMac and Steve in the game to get him out? Apparently not which makes him as dumb as meg and James.
Just think about. Vanessa knows about the 5 person alliance with Austwins, Steve and JMac and their plan to BD her and she puts up Meg and James, the only two people not in that group?
Austin is not questioning that logic? Because Vanessa came clean to him he believes her?
Right now, Austin and the twins should realize its them against the house, everyone in the house. They should trust no one, least of all JMac and Vanessa.
The behavior of these HGs is inexplicable.
Agreed. Keeping this in mind, you might see Van throwing every HOH comp going forward–assuming James doesn’t take her out during the DE tomorrow
That would turn this whole year from a “meh!” to a “Yay, James!”
I think Meg being out of the game James would have had a better chance to survive 2 or 3 more evictions. But Meg’s last attempt at some kind of strategy put a dagger in what’s left of James’ game. I am almost certain now James will be targeted in the DE and he will go home.
In the meantime, Vanessa, Steve and the Austwins will slip by another week. I am afraid its going to be Vanessa and the Austwins in F4 and that’s when the twins turn on Austin. Then it will be Vanessa winning final HoH and she will send Liz home. Julia and Vanessa F2 and the jury will have no choice but to give it to Vanessa.
Another disappointing season of BB like season 15 when the rat Andy won.
Yup, sure looks that way. James or JMac will be gone next week if the Austwins are in power.
My scenario blows that ending up into a million pieces:)
Meg needed to leave so that James could align himself with someone–anyone–that could possibly win something. However, with how the house stands right now, that’s basically impossible–Van has successfully isolated him(with some help from Meg and himself too). Getting rid of Van and heading up a real alliance with Steve and JMac(not the phony side alliance Van has with them currently–that has the value of a $3 bill) solves all his current problems. Of course, now he has to actually make this happen–which won’t be easy. But at least there’s a possible way out.
I’m hedging my bets that a better move for Van is to split up the twins now (even though you won’t hear it from her), while the opportunity is there and JMac and Steve may just flip and vote out Julia. It’s there if they can just get a whiff of her demonstrative action! She won’t get blood on her hands and I’m sure JMac and Steve will get hers and James and Meg’s protection if they do act on it.
The smart move for James, Steve and JMac would be to send home Julia this week, and then send home Austin/Vanessa next week of one of the three of them win HoH, then instead of 3v3 it’d be 4v2 after that.
Absolutely. But that’s not happening
But they’re not smart.
My thoughts exactly! She’s the puppet master for the most part with Steve, JMac and the Austwins! Pull her away and the rest with the exception of James have to start thinking for themselves. Oh, what shall they do if they don’t have Van suggesting what to do or they aren’t able to get her input or permission?
From what I can tell, the odds of any one of them making a rational, logical game move at ALL is, by my careful calculations, absolutely ZERO. ;)
0 is still to high lol
Worse game play of all seasons.
Allright, lets watch this show.
Wondered if this was the place
Ok I’m here..Nice to have 2 days of sanity.
I see, you weren’t watching the feeds.
I keep saying this but I can’t wait until tomorrow. Hope the feeds have some action.
Thursday for me is the big deal. DE !!
David…I missed you.
I know!..I’m driving to BB house tonight with bull horn.
I just wish everyone would of been in the backyard
Why are they not even considering voting out Julia?
Duh….do you have to ask. Lol
Omg Vanessa is going to owe me a new tv after I kick the crap out of mine lol
She is hard to watch. I shake my head all the time.
Meg is such a softie and James is a sweetie.
Evening all. I am not happy about football tomorrow night. Why can’t they show BB and then football?
Are we talking Alabama or some NFL team near you ?
NFL No complaints if Bama. LOL
Maybe we can hook you with a feed. We’ll talk on FB.
Ok
No! No, you have been avoiding “blood on my hands”. I hate that term, argggg!
That’s why this comp took so long.
What a mess
And we thought it was the jury that did it while they were doing the comp.
Well I think we know who finds Austins.
Not yet. Should be the next one to be found.
Austin is not looking for the Veto card but just tearing the place apart like a crazy gorilla.
James too.
No James was looking and tearing the place. lol
Because He’s an ass
He thinks he’s killing the DR with his made up character…so stupid!
He thinks people like watching him and Liz on the feeds. Bwahaha
More like blehh
Ewww! They are so gross. He is in for a surprise when finds out he is not liked.
I can’t wait till they find out.
Me too.
Nobody cares for them. They’ll be shock after BB. lol
I’ll second that.
Yeah!..Be a character..but be yourself. You know what I mean?..Viewers don’t want want to see that BS. lol
I’m pretty sure production tells them what to say… It is so rehearsed.
It’s just not working..I’m sure they know that too. He just can’t cut it..First the hat is too small for him. lol
Julia should go
Austin & the twins need to go.
Yea, we know that.
Lol James that was funny!
Love it! Love their reaction when James won. Hahahahahaha! Sasquatch was maaaadddddd!
Steve is actually thinking about talking to JMac to flip the votes and send Julia to jury. He could just be in a manic state now, but…..
I saw that earlier on the feeds. I’m praying that happens. Wonder if BB got in his ear.
Perhaps. I think they ask the HGs if they are sure, have they really thought about it, etc. plant seeds of doubt.
I hope it’s just plain common sense. Geez week after week…
JMac is thinking about it too but is not wanting to bring it up.
..I thought, the Asswits entered Van’s mind..don’t you think?,
Probably just a manic moment. Vanessa will brow beat him a few more times until tomorrow to make sure he doesn’t deviate from the plan.
agreed. van wants to go into the finals with julia as she is such a weak player
I wish Austin would put some clothes on that ugly body.
I’m starting a petition.
You mean petition?
Yes, I changed it.
Damn auto-correct.
I knew what you meant. Lol
And the toliet paper of his face and hair.
Yep lol
OMG !!!!! Vanessa ?????? WTH ???
Sooooooo annoying!
I bet she’s doing that on purpose to throw off James.
No, I think it’s her true self. She actually believes her own lies.
Where is Tinalee to defend her ?
She’s ok..but she’ll write you an essay.
I know. Can’t read more than 2 lines before I give up.
The Captain and Cyril…you guys crack me up!!!
She was drunk.
She knew what she was doing there. That was the first time I felt 100% convinced that that the emotion was a game move.
It did look like she was trying to throw him off balance, because it was so ridiculous.
It was the first time I saw her do that in a calculated way. Normally she looks like a crazy woman, but tonight she looked like a crazy woman with a method to her madness.
That was the most obvious head game I’ve seen Van played..It was something else.
She is frigging ridiculous! Did she forget James was yelled at by bigger and tougher guys “in” prison. Calm it down!
Yep let’s get her out next week. That worked real well.
That looney bird was supposed to leave the same week.
I thought he’s gonna go………………..Mercedez. lol
I give her something to cry about for real! Lol
How you sealing her fate, Vanessa, if you’re so alone!?!
You don’t even get a vote this week – I do though! Just like I could be HoH Thursday night.
Who’s sealing their fate?
Beside James, who would put her up for eviction.
Stop being logical here, bbadboy.
I hope he lets her have it if he does win HoH. Remind her of the moment she sealed HER fate. During the speech remind people (lying is ok) that Vanessa tried to make a deal with him that she’d save Meg if he promised to take out Austin or Liz. Then say Ok – I put up Liz. Sorry Liz – Vanessa told me to but hey, you’re up against her, where I know you’ll be safe.
Sadly though I think she survives pretty much any vote even if James does nominate her. That woman is made of Teflon.
Not against Liz: Austin & Julia VTE Vanessa and James is a tie breaker if needed. :)
This is Vanessa we’re talking about. She could probably get Batman to save her over Robin.
Maybe Cyril should flash the bat signal! Ha ha. No – Vanessa would interpret that to everyone meaning she should stay. Waaaauuuuggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Ok.this is what you’re hoping to happen..lol..this is like a script.
I WISH she would come at me like that! She don’t know me. I got something for her. “Seal her fate”. Ugh.
Wow! Just wow!
Vanessa does realize she’s not a God,right? lol
Nope
No
See how Vanessa made James defensive in that convo?..That’s how good she is..or James is just too easy for her lol
Combo of both.
Can’t wait until tomorrow.
Logic would dictate Julia gone. We know Vanessa will be the weasel she is. James, Meg, JMac, Steve would be powerful. Then Vanessa will be bat shizzle crazy, without zero she can do if that happens. Austin and Liz will just be crushed…it would be the perfect move.
It may happen, there are discussions, but in the end I think they’ll chicken out.
Depends on if James wins HOH
And puts her up against Liz. So he’ll have the deciding vote. How sweet it is!!!!!
It’s good to dream.
With the DE, it is the perfect time to get her out. She would have no time to do her magic manipulation.
Let’s get on to the DE.
Just 24 hours to go.
I’m driving to Burbank with my mega-phone..Any message you want me to shout to them? lol……………..David will return?…no?
Austins lying to everyone!
Just shout that America hates Vanessa’s team. That way, everyone but James will be paranoid. Roflmbo
bbadboy!!..you’re getting bad. That’s not you..I like it lol
As Hope says: 5 looney birds, 1 stone. Lol
Shout JMac is # 1 with america.
Oh Capt. ..I would loved to shout that, even without the bull horn.
“NOT ENOUGH CAMERA TIME WITH AUSTIN SHIRTLESS!!!!”
LMAO!!!
lol..Goodyear blimp for that one.
Can’t get here fast enough!
Vanessa and Sasquatch better go on the block tomorrow night.
Babysitting my 7 year old granddaughter tonight and she was watching BB with us. After about 15 minutes watching she pointed out that Vanessa “sure is mean” and that Austin’s tatoos are disgusting. She also heard the name Sasquatch and said isn’t that Big Foot? and is that the guy with the tatoos?
out of the mouths of babes!
on Jokers………austin just told van and steve that he will never vote out the twins until final 3….uh well if they get there. would think that would get van to reconsider flipping the votes tomorrow.
