BB17 Day 80 - Austin Wins The Power of Veto
September 5, 2015
10:00-11:00 AM: Liz pulled Steve aside. She said that the reason that she was such a baby yesterday and cried is because he pulled at her heart strings. Liz said that she needed her moment and she knows that it’s the furthest thing from personal. Steve said that he gets it and he will be having his moment next week. Liz said that there are no hard feelings and he made her tear up because of the cutest things. Steve talked to himself and said that Austin is sitting there and lying to his face. He repeatedly said to himself that Liz is safe. Steve said that if Liz wins, Austin is going and it’s that simple. He said that he will have some work to do in that case. Steve went over what he could say to the twins. He pointed out that Austin was his first nominee. Steve again said that Liz is not his target, even though she thinks that she is. He then said that “everything I am about to tell you is the complete and total truth”, going on to say that Austin said that the twins have to be split up and he is lying to a lot of people. He wanted to tell the twins everything that Austin promised him and that Austin told Vanessa that he was throwing this past HoH. Steve said that he can explain that he told Austin that he is not the target, though he was just trying to cover his butt in case Austin won PoV. Steve said “you are the bigger threat” and “if I were you, I would use it and let Julia sit next to Austin”, seemingly talking about what he will say to Liz if she wins the PoV.
3:00-4:00 PM: Feeds returned after the veto competition. Austin won the Power of Veto. Thinks were heated in the house. During the competition, Julia asked Vanessa for advice on who she should pick to compete, cause she does not want to go on the block next to Liz. Vanessa told her that Austin winning PoV is the way that the twins would end up together. Julia then chose Austin to compete before John, meaning that he was more likely to be eliminated sooner. This led Austin to believe that there was a master plan in place to take him out of the game. He got upset at Vanessa over it. Vanessa told the twins that it made no sense for Austin to want to get to the Final 3 with the two of them. She said that she has so much information on Austin and she is so close to spilling it all. Vanessa informed Julia that she was going to save Liz over Austin if they remained on the block together, though she said that Austin cannot find that out since they have to work together. Vanessa told Julia that she will 100% be staying over Liz. Liz asked Austin if he has been hiding stuff from her, saying that Vanessa told her that she has so much information on him. Austin said no and Vanessa was just trying to set him up to get him out again. Liz asked if there is something that Vanessa knows that she doesn’t. Austin said no. Austin suggested that they try to get Vanessa nominated. He told Liz that the twins can say that they no longer trust him. Liz did not want to do it and said that if it is her time to go, it is her time to go.
Austin told John that he thinks that Vanessa was going to flip the vote against him. Austin told John that he took him out because Vanessa convinced him that he was out of control and needed to go. John said that she is good. Austin told John that he thinks that John needs to keep Liz there, so that they can take Vanessa out in the HoH competition. Austin suggested that they bury the hatchet. John said let’s do it. John went up to the HoH room to talk to Steve. He told Steve that Vanessa told him to take Liz out of the competition first, which he did, so they are still good with Vanessa. Steve wondered why Vanessa wanted Liz out before Julia, since Julia winning is the only way that both Austin and the twins would be safe. John wasn’t sure. John said that Julia is obviously going up and they should probably take her out because they are likely now good with Liz and Austin. Steve said that he does not want to make any decisions right now. John pointed out that Vanessa was setting herself up so that she was good with the twins as well. Steve questioned John about whether or not he is America’s Player, because he hasn’t won an HoH. John said no. Steve asked if John is throwing HoHs. He said that he did not throw them all, though he has thrown some.
Liz told Vanessa that she learned a lot today, finding out that Austin is selfish and he is no Clay. Liz said that she never wants to talk to Austin again. Vanessa told Liz that she cannot blame someone for wanting to win. Austin joined them. Vanessa told him that she doesn’t appreciate Austin insinuating that she was playing him or the twins. Austin said that he understands where Vanessa was coming from but he got heated in the moment and believes that there was a plan to take him out. Austin also said that he was playing it up for TV. He apologized to Vanessa. Vanessa and Austin spoke alone. Vanessa informed him that Liz is saying that he is no Clay. Vanessa said that she is upset with Austin because she found out that they had a plan to throw the veto to Julia, which means that he was willing to put her at risk. Austin assured Vanessa that the plan was to get John nominated. Austin told Vanessa that he is not mad at her but people think that they hate each other, so he isn’t sure if they should keep playing it up. Vanessa said that she isn’t playing, though they eventually talked everything out and understood where each other was coming from. Austin said that his main concern is making sure that the relationship with Liz is still solid. Austin confirmed that he plans to use the veto on himself.
Liz told Julia that Austin wants her to throw Vanessa under the bus. Liz said that she is not willing to do that. The twins agreed that one of them is leaving and that Steve’s mind is made up, so there is no reason to throw people under the bus. Liz expects that she will be the one to go. Julia said that Vanessa told her that she has so much information on Austin, which she believes. Julia thought that Austin wouldn’t have done anything against Liz but he would have done something against her. Julia told Liz that she does not like Austin and her only person in the game will be Vanessa if Liz leaves. Liz agreed that Julia has to stick with Vanessa. Julia said that she will act cool with Austin in case he wins HoH next week. The girls agreed that they cannot trust Austin. Julia felt that they would have a better chance to win the game now that they are split up, since they would continue to be the target if they were in the house together. Julia said that the only person that she is going after is Steve. Liz said that Austin has completely changed. She said that she feels so embarrassed, adding that Austin is definitely not the one and she feels like the end is near. Liz said that she wants to tell Austin that they are not meant to be together and that they should just end things amicably. Vanessa spoke to Liz and told her that this has been Austin’s dream to play this game and she cannot let his game decisions change how she thinks that he feels about her, cause he really does care for her based on the conversations that they have had.
4:00-5:00 PM: Steve spoke to himself and wondered why Vanessa told John to pick Liz first in the veto competition. Steve said that Vanessa’s story doesn’t add up, though he is not going to tell her that. Steve thought that something was going on. Austin headed to the bedroom to try to comfort Liz. She was in bed and did not look at Austin. She eventually asked Austin to leave her alone. Liz then begun crying and said that this is so embarrassing. Liz got up and told Julia that she will be sleeping with her for the rest of the week. She said that Austin is not going to be getting any loving from her. Julia told Liz that Austin was never going to throw the PoV to her and it’s stupid to think that he would. Julia said that she is going after Austin and Steve.
5:00-6:00 PM: Austin came to check on Liz. She told him that she just wants to be with her sister. Austin said that he hopes that Liz knows that he was not trying to hurt her. He said that he wanted Julia to win so that they would all be safe. Liz told Austin that she doesn’t think that things will end well between them. She brought up that Vanessa is saying that she has lots of information on him an she doesn’t know what to believe anymore. Austin said that he thought that it was Week 5 all over again and that they were all in on a plan to get him out. Liz told him that he is full of it and that he knew that they weren’t. She said that the way that he reacted said a lot to her. Liz said that Austin is disgusting her. Austin said that she is so off base right now. He said that he ruined his life for her and left his girlfriend because he fell in love with her. Liz pointed out that Austin said that his relationship with his girlfriend was on the rocks and it would have happened either way. Austin questioned if Liz is really mad at him for winning the veto. Liz told him that it’s not that and asked him to walk away now. Austin told her that he loves her with all of his heart and if she doesn’t believe that the moments that they had are real, he doesn’t know what to say.
Austin headed upstairs to talk to Steve. He told Steve that he needs him to let Liz know that he was not in on some big plan to get her out. Austin told Steve that Liz just told him that she hates him and they are over. Steve asked if Liz just broke up with him. Austin said yeah. Austin said that Liz’s head is not in the game at all right now. Steve asked if Liz is expecting him to pull a Clay. Austin said maybe. Back downstairs in the bedroom, Julia told Liz that Austin is ugly and is not that cute. Liz said that he is kind of cute without the ponytail beard. Liz told Julia that Austin did just tell her that he loves her. Julia said that she feels like it is all for show and she doesn’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth. Liz said that Austin is a joke, still walking around wearing the veto necklace. She said that she does not know what steroids he used to be on, but he is insane. Julia said that it’s a joke that Austin is saying that he ruined his life for her, since he is the one that came in saying that he had a girlfriend and then made the decision to ask Liz to be his girlfriend. Liz asked Julia if she is overreacting. Julia said that Liz shouldn’t expect Austin to use the PoV on her. Julia said that she hopes that Austin goes next. Liz agreed. Julia said Steve first though.
Austin told Vanessa that Liz said that she hates him, said that he is an ugly person and she feels like he betrayed her. Austin said that he just told Liz for the first time that he loves her. Vanessa pointed out that she can vote with Austin and they can save Liz if they want. She said that it is actually in her best interest. Austin said that he is now worried that Liz would come after him, though Vanessa assured him that she will not. Austin said that he made himself the biggest jerk to his girlfriend’s family because his heart is with Liz. Vanessa suggested that they let the girls decided which one of them stays, then they will likely pick Liz. Julia told Liz that Austin is not Clay. She said that Clay was recruited, while Austin has a tattoo related to this show. Julia told Liz that Austin’s family would never forgive him if he used the veto on her. Liz said that she will make up with Austin eventually but she wants to be alone at least for a day. She expects that they will leave the house on good terms. Vanessa spoke to Liz and told her that she really does think that Austin cares about her a lot. Liz didn’t understand why Austin took the veto over John, when he knew that she was the target anyway. Vanessa explained that the votes could have changed and that while they gave their word to vote how Steve wanted, he may have changed his target.
6:00-7:00 PM: Vanessa asked the twins if they know which one of them they would prefer to have stay. They said that they had already discussed it and they want Julia to stay because she has a better chance of making it to the end. Vanessa said that Liz has the better chance to win the game if she makes it to the end, though Julia has a better chance to get there. They said that they still have time to think it over. Liz said that she would actually be pissed if Austin used the PoV on her, because his family would kill him. Liz asked Vanessa if Austin is still wearing the veto necklace. Vanessa said yes. The girls felt that he was rubbing it in by continuing to wear that. Vanessa told Austin that it comes off as insensitive, which led to him taking the necklace off after over three hours. Liz told Julia that she cannot even look at Austin right now. She said that she is disgusted and wants him to leave her alone. Julia said that she cannot look at him either and she is done with him.
7:00-8:00 PM: Liz told Julia that things are so awkward with Austin. Julia said that she obviously has to make up with him. Liz said that she knows but she doesn’t want to, cause she can’t stand him. Liz told Julia that it makes her sick to her stomach that it has come down to Austin using the veto and her going up in his place. Julia thought that Austin knew all along that he was going up next to Liz and he was fine with it, since Austin, Steve and Vanessa were up late chatting before nominations. Austin cooked dinner for the twins. He had Steve deliver it to them in bed. Liz said thanks but no thanks. Julia said that they do not want to eat it right now. Julia said that at least Austin made Liz dinner. She asked if they should get up and eat it. Liz told Julia that she can but she doesn’t want to talk to Austin, so no.
8:00-9:00 PM: Austin told Vanessa that until today he did not think that anything in the game could make Liz not want to be with him. Vanessa told him that they will be okay and that all couples have fights. In the bedroom, Julia told Liz that she cannot be showing animosity towards Austin. Liz said that she will talk to him tomorrow. Julia told Liz that she has a really good shot at winning the $500,000. Liz said that Julia has a really good chance of making it to the end, while she does not. Liz explained that both her and Austin would remain really big targets if she stays. Liz told Julia that the only people that she does not have a chance to beat at the end are Austin and Steve. Back in the kitchen, Austin and Vanessa discussed who is best to keep in the game. Austin felt that they needed Liz in the game to help them win HoH next week. He also said that it would not be smart for the twins to want Julia to stay when it is Liz that can win the game. Austin said that Julia is playing for third or fourth place. Vanessa said that Liz is the favourite to win the game. Austin said that it makes her a bigger target ahead of them for next week. Vanessa said that Liz and Steve would both take the two of them over each other in the Final 4. On the other hand, Vanessa explained that keeping Julia is good because the argument for voting her out is that everyone will take her to the end if not. Vanessa said that Austin is more secure on the block next to Julia, cause she can’t win a PoV but Liz can. Vanessa said that Steve would choose Austin over Julia because he would be afraid that John would take Julia over him. She said that their odds of getting to the Final 3 together are quite high with Julia in the game. Vanessa said that Austin would also avoid the situation where he has to take Liz to the end, at which point she would beat him. Austin begun to come around to the idea of keeping Julia, though he said that they still have time to think about it.
9:00-10:00 PM: John and Vanessa discussed who to keep. John asked if Austin would be loyal to Julia. Vanessa said that it’s a good question. She said that she would think yes, since he would piss off his girlfriend if not. Vanessa said that Austin would be getting dumped if he nominated Julia. Vanessa pointed out that there is a worry that people would take Julia to the end over them. However, she said that Julia staying would increase their odds of winning the next HoH competition. Steve joined them. Vanessa revealed that the twins currently prefer to have Julia to stay, because Liz is a big target. John said that they could always have a meeting and let the twins tell them which one of them they prefer to have stay. Vanessa said that they could as long as Steve doesn’t think that it’s dumb. Steve said that he would like to let the next couple of days play out before making any decisions. Inside, Liz told Julia that she doesn’t know what to do. She said that the thing that is upsetting her now is that they are faced with a potentially life changing decision. She said that she is clearly a huge target and Julia is not. Julia told Liz that Austin would take her to Final 2 but she doesn’t think that anyone would bring her. Liz disagreed, saying that people would take Julia because they think that they can beat her. Julia said that Vanessa hinted to her that if anything ever happened to Liz, she would take her to Final 2. Liz thought that Vanessa would assume that she has a Final 2 with Austin if she stays, so she would not take her.
11:00-12:00 AM: Austin told Vanessa that Liz wont even look at him. She suggested asking if they can please talk. She told Austin that he needs to be extremely nice and apologetic. Austin said that he still loves Liz even though he handled things poorly today. Vanessa said that it was a big day, telling Liz that he loves her. Vanessa said that Liz feels very strongly about him or else this wouldn’t have hurt her feelings. Vanessa said that Liz should be okay no matter what things go down. Austin said that it is all on her terms and he will do whatever she wants, kind of. Vanessa said everything except for use the veto on her. Vanessa told Austin that Liz came around to saying that she would not want Austin to use the PoV on her. Austin said that it is not even a situation in which Liz will automatically go just because the veto isn’t used on her either.
12:00-1:00 AM: Julia told Austin that Liz wants to talk to him but she is not sure about tonight, cause she needs space. Austin told Julia that he will support the girls in whatever they decide. Austin said that he would fight for and protect whichever of the twins stays. Julia asked if he has any advice. Austin said that Liz will beat anyone if she can make it to the Final 2, while Julia may get to the end but would have a tougher time winning. Julia let Austin know that they realize that it would have been dumb of Austin to throw the competition and no one expects him to use the veto on Liz. Austin said that what upset him was that Liz begun questioning if he has been playing her all along. Austin said that he has always been looking out for the twins and every intimate moment that he has shared with Liz has been real. Austin said that this was a big moment for his wrestling career, having Jessie hand off the veto to him. Julia told Liz that Austin said that it was big for his wrestling career, so there was no way that he was going to throw it. Liz said that Jessie probably has no idea who Austin even is. John told Austin that he is down to do whatever the girls want to do. Austin agreed and said that he doesn’t even know which of the twins is best for his game at this point. Austin said that Liz staying is good because he loves her, but they will always be a duo and put on the block together. John felt that there were good and bad reasons for keeping each of the twins, so it’s best to just let them decide. Vanessa told Julia that Austin and Liz will definitely be targeted if they stay in the game together. Julia felt that Liz would leave first if they were on the block together. Vanessa said that Austin is likely worried that he would leave over Julia, so he is biased in wanting Liz to stay. Vanessa told Julia that the best case scenario is likely that Julia stays and wins an HoH.
