Veto Day for the Big Brother 17 Houseguests started out slow but nothing like a little delusional level of expectations to set off the tears and drama when things didn’t go the way a particular set of twins thought it might.
Yes, Liz and Julia were back in tears mode today as they struggled with a new reality and that left Austin in the dog house with a bleak chance of escaping anytime soon.
Big Brother 17 Live Feed Highlights – Saturday, September 5, 2015:

3:07 PM BBT – Vanessa is playing up the victim role and tells the twins that Austin is to blame and she has much dirt on him.

3:45 PM BBT – Austin asks Vanessa to step in to the Lounge. She goes in and tells him she thinks he’s a piece of s**t. Austin is stunned and asks why. Vanessa is upset that he was trying to coordinate with the twins to save all three of them since that would have sent him to the Block. (Yes, how dare he try to play the game too.) Vanessa says she was just giving the girls advice in the competition. Austin trying to smooth things over and wants them to have a F2 still.
4:05 PM BBT – Liz and Julia ranting about Austin and just how terrible they think he really is for not throwing away his game for them.

6:05 PM BBT – Vanessa is trying to encourage the twins to see which of them has a better chance to win. She says Julia is playing for $50K at best while Liz could pull off the win and get $500K. Neither seems to question why someone would encourage the stronger competitor to stay to benefit them against her.
6:15 PM BBT – Austin says he’s still wearing the Veto so the Feedsters know who won. The competition ended over three hours ago. Steve says he’s sure BigBrotherNetwork.com has already published the information for everyone online. (Steve is very generous in his shout outs to us!)

Shifting to the night the twins continued their pity party and “who to go” debates while the other HGs only lightly considered the decision ahead.

7:35 PM BBT – Julia tells Liz this was easy come, easy go for them while noting Steve got a rental car and drove an hour for an open casting call but they didn’t do anything like that. (The twins were stunt casts and pulled from the casting pool of VH1’s Twinning.)
7:55 PM BBT – Steve delivers dinner to the twins that Austin spent a long time preparing. Chicken in the shape of a heart and vegetables. The twins decline, send it back, and say they’ll be out later but neither budges.
8:00 PM BBT – Vanessa tells the guys she doesn’t care which twin goes and just wants everyone to be happy. (Of course she cares.)
8:10 PM BBT – Liz advises Julia to take John to the F2 because he’d be an easy win. Liz suggests Julia’s speech be that she was playing for two people and she’ll be splitting the money with her sister. Julia reminds Liz that they’re not allowed to say that anymore.
8:30 PM BBT – Vanessa and Austin have been working on strategies for who to take to the end and how to get there. Austin tells Vanessa if they do a F3 with Julia then he’ll be afraid to cut Julia himself. He suggests he can throw the final HoH competitions to Vanessa so she can cut Julia and take him to the end. (Good grief, Austin.)
8:40 PM BBT – Vanessa convinces Austin they need to evict Julia because everyone will want to take her over them to the end. She then proceeds to convince Austin that Liz needs to be evicted because they’d have an easier time beating Julia. Vanessa is all over the place.
8:45 PM BBT – Vanessa now persuading Austin that it’s too dangerous to keep Steve and he needs to go soon. Austin agrees.
9:40 PM BBT – Backyard is open. Houseguests escape the confines of the house for some fresh air. The pool has turned green.
9:45 PM BBT – Steve reiterates a stance he’s been taking: wait a few days and then we’ll decide about the eviction.
9:50 PM BBT – Twins were debating who should stay or go. Both worry about making the wrong choice and regretting it for the rest of their lives.
10:30 PM BBT – Julia is confused about the cameras and when they’re on the Feeds. Steve promises her there are more cameras watching than she thinks.
11:00 PM BBT – Twins asking Vanessa for advice and which of them should stay. They’re certain Vanessa will give them honest and unbiased feedback on this important decision. The twins promise to work with Vanessa no matter which one stays.
12:00 AM BBT – Steve warns Johnny that HGs can hear him yelling in the DR. John is very surprised and thought it was insulated better.
12:20 AM BBT – Julia updating Liz on her talk with Austin. He told her all their moments together were real for him. Julia says Austin was never going to throw that Veto competition because he wanted screen time with Jessie, an accomplished wrestler.
12:30 AM BBT – John tells Austin he is willing to vote how the twins want this week.
1:00 AM BBT – Twins try listening to JMac in the DR but get a “stop that” from Big Brother.
1:10 AM BBT – Twins again debating which of them should stay. They discuss how Liz has a better chance at winning the $500K if she can get to F2, but Julia has a better chance of getting to F2 where she’d get $50K.
2:30 AM BBT – Steve and Austin talking through the season’s big decisions. They’re grateful that James went for Clay and Shelli instead of the Austwins.
2:50 AM BBT – Steve says to himself that he needs to think about Vanessa’s actions and find a way to worry her.
3:30 AM BBT – HGs settled in for the night.
Oh there’s still plenty more to come from these twins as they can’t get enough of complaining about how cruel Austin is to look out for himself in a competition for $500K. From talks so far today Steve made it clear that Julia will go up on the Block and Vanessa really seems to want to keep Liz right now, or wait is it Julia? Thursday is a long ways away.
