BB17 Day 91 - Vanessa Wins Part 1 of the Final HoH Competition
September 16, 2015
1:00-2:00 PM: Steve asked Vanessa if she knows what she is doing. Vanessa said no. She said that she might flip a coin or ask them to play rock, paper, scissors. Steve said “no you’re not”. Vanessa said probably. She also told Steve that she might ask him to decide. Steve said that she knows what she is doing. Vanessa said that she does not. Steve told Vanessa that he genuinely does not believe her. Vanessa said that she loves gambling and games. Vanessa explained that she has changed her mind about 50 times and will probably decide five minutes before. She said that she is pretty sure that there is no bad choice. Vanessa mentioned possibly listening to their speeches to decide. Steve said that she is killing him. Vanessa did not want to lock herself into a choice when there is more information to be had. Steve said that it made him sick to hear that her mind is not made up, cause he could never do that. Vanessa pointed out that this decision does not affect him and he still needs to go into the competition and try his best. Steve agreed. Vanessa gave Steve the chance to weigh in on the decision. He said that he does not know. Vanessa asked if the mystery of not knowing who is staying is even a little bit exciting. Steve said no. Steve said that he can understand Vanessa not wanting to tell him what she is going to do. Vanessa swore to God that she has not made up her mind, adding that she does not know what the best choice is or what she will do. Steve said that he doesn’t know why he trusts Vanessa so much. She said actions and told him that this has nothing to do with him. Vanessa pointed out that she has had plenty of opportunities to send Steve out but has chosen not to.
Vanessa told Steve that she took Austin as far as she could. She explained that she was almost going to take him over Liz but Austin got too close to Johnny Mac. Steve said that’s why he is surprised that she is struggling with this decision, since he figured that she would be too nervous about taking him and Johnny Mac together. Vanessa told Steve that she trusts him and he swore on his mom, so she does not think that he would lie on that. Steve said that Liz could win the game. Vanessa said that John could too, since they have no idea what the jury is thinking. Vanessa brought up that Austin is a powerful person and was very emotional when he left, so he could influence the jury. Steve clarified that they have each other’s word that they will take each other to Final 2. Vanessa said yes. Steve again said that she has his word on his mom that he will. Vanessa asked who would be hardest to beat in the HoH comp. Steve said that he would rather go up against John in Part 3 and Liz in Part 1. Steve said that he would be the easiest to beat in the Final 2. Vanessa said not for her, since John’s secured votes are the people that already hate her, while Steve will get those votes plus others. Vanessa eventually told Steve to relax and just trust her to make this decision, since it worked out well for him last week. Vanessa told him that she will not even tell him when she makes up her mind at this point. She said that she would like to listen to the speeches with an open mind. She figured that the speeches would give a good barometer for how things will play out with the jury speeches. Vanessa asked Steve who he could beat easier in Part 2. Steve said Liz.
5:00-6:00 PM: The live eviction episode took place. At the veto ceremony, Vanessa used the Power of Veto on herself. Steve was forced to nominate Liz as the replacement nominee. Vanessa then cast the sole vote to evict and voted to evict John.
6:00-7:00 PM: When the live feeds returned, Vanessa told Liz and Steve that John offered her a Final 2 yesterday and called it “Lone Wolves”, saying that he is ready to be done with the Rock Stars. She said that John also offered to throw any part of the HoH competition that Vanessa was in. Vanessa believed that John had been working with Austin. Liz agreed. Vanessa pointed out that Liz took out Becky and James when they were coming after her, giving her more reason to keep Liz. Steve headed off to the bedroom on his own. He said that he is 100% taking Liz if he wins the Final HoH competition. He believes that Vanessa will take him if she wins. Steve spoke to Vanessa and asked if she has a Final 2 deal with Liz. Vanessa said that she does not and those words have never come out of her mouth. Steve said that it would have made sense to make that deal before keeping Liz, though Vanessa explained that she did not promise Liz anything and that voting to keep her was enough. Steve said that Vanessa must have made Liz promise her, since it would be the intelligent thing to do. Steve mentioned that Vanessa’s easier win is against him, not Liz. Vanessa agreed and said that she believes that Steve is still a big favourite to beat her anyway.
8:00-9:00 PM: Part 1 of the Final HoH competition begun. The competition was similar to Part 1 from Big Brother 14. The houseguests had to sit on a disc and were lowered into water, then slammed into a wall.
12:00-1:00 AM: After over 3 hours and 15 minutes of competing, the houseguests had to move down from the disc that they were sitting on in order to sit on the apple below them, with the intent of making the competition more challenging. After 3 hours and 35 minutes, Steve fell and was eliminated from the competition. Vanessa begun working on Liz, hoping to get her to drop. Liz resisted. Vanessa said that she can go another 10 hours. She explained that she cannot lose this competition, since she is older and it will take her too long to recover and be able to compete next round. Vanessa said that Liz would have the better chance at winning Part 2. Liz said that she is not good at memorizing. Vanessa said that it’s not about that and it’s more about racing around to identify the HoH winners or something of that nature. Vanessa told Liz that she is not letting go, so Liz is going to ruin herself for the next round if she doesn’t drop. Liz whispered to Vanessa, asking if she is taking her to the Final 2. Vanessa whispered “promise” to her. Liz then dropped seconds later. Vanessa won Part 1 of the Final HoH competition, meaning that she will advance to Part 3 on finale night.
1:00-2:00 AM: Vanessa told Liz that they have a deal. She said that she needs Liz to give her word that she will not tell Steve about their deal. Liz gave her word. Vanessa said that she will be lying if she tells Steve anything differently. Vanessa explained that her word is good but she may have to tell Steve that she is taking him. Liz said that she is not even going to bother making a deal with Steve. She asked if Vanessa has one. Vanessa said no but she might have to make one if Steve wins Part 2, though she would still take Liz to the Final 2. Vanessa said that she doesn’t owe Steve anything, since he has broken things with her before and did stuff such as trying to replace her with John in their alliance. Vanessa let Liz know that her loyalty is to her and not to Steve. Vanessa said that she will not give Liz a promise that she will not keep and she has yet to break a promise to her. Vanessa told Liz that she is going to get her to Final 2. She told Liz that her odds of making it are really good, since Steve has to win both competitions in order to prevent it from happening. Vanessa said that it’s meant to be for them to get to the end and it’s going to be two girls in the finals. Liz discussed that Austin became friends with people like James and Meg, just because he had fun with them. Vanessa brought up that Austin made deals behind Liz’s back, such as those with John and Steve to promise that they would nominate the twins instead of him. Vanessa said that he was going to make the same deal with James as well.
2:00-3:00 AM: Vanessa told Liz that she is going to beat Steve in Part 2 and then they will sit him down and tell him that they are taking each other, since it is too much of a risk to bring him. Vanessa brought up that she has won so many competitions now. Liz said 5 HoHs and 3 PoVs. Vanessa said that she doesn’t know how, since she was the oldest one there except for Shelli and she is the most out of shape. Liz told Vanessa that she will not hold anything personally for what happened with Austin, because he was making deals behind her back. Vanessa clarified that he had to play the game and he wasn’t necessarily making deals against her but he was making deals for himself. Vanessa said that she trusted Liz more and that is why she kept her. Liz said that Austin definitely had something going on with Johnny Mac, though she does not know what exactly. Liz told Vanessa that she hopes that Austin does not have animosity towards her, because Austin would have done it to Vanessa if she didn’t do it to him first. Liz understood why the move had to be made once John won the PoV. Vanessa thought that Austin may not have tried as hard as he could in the veto comp, cause he thought that she would evict Steve.
