Following Friday’s daytime nominations the house went to work on plotting and planning for what seemed to be the bigger, next step: Power of Veto. Vanessa was worried and she had good reason.
Overnight the Houseguests worked through scenarios as John’s game woke up and he started collecting an army. A very small army. John is on to Vanessa and needs help to take her out this week.
