It was Veto Day on Big Brother 17 as the Houseguests prepared for both the players pick and the competition later that day. Shelli threw a wrench in the plan when she panicked, or so she said, and introduced a big obstacle that kept everyone inside and out of the house on their toes.
By the end of the night the Veto holder was known and the plan was set with a big surprise in store for this week’s next Backdoor victim. Another day and a half now to keep it together.
