Becky felt the brunt of a turning house on last night’s episode of “Big Brother,” and Liz decided this week was not the time for her to target Vanessa for eviction. Vanessa said she was relieved because Becky was a better target than she was. Beck said she was confident she would save the game. John said he felt solid with Austin, Liz and Julia this week. Meg said James was important for her game and her sanity. James said Meg was his only friend left in the game.

John said Steve was all he had in this game and they had to figure out where they were going. Steve said he felt vulnerable since he was the head of household. Julia told John she wanted him to work with her, Liz and Austin. Liz told Austin John had joined their alliance. Becky said everyone knew Vanessa was her target.

Julie Chen asked Steve what he missed at home and he said he missed talking to his mother every week. Steve’s mom said they’ve been watching Big Brother since its first season, 16 seasons ago. She said his hometown was thrilled that he’s been on a national TV show. She also said being on Big Brother was a good opportunity for him to spend time with new people.

At the Jury House, Shelli was reunited with Jackie. They talked about Steve getting her evicted.

When it came time to choose this week’s evictee, Becky and John each got one last chance to speak. Becky said she’s had a great journey in this game and didn’t want it to end. John said keeping him in the house we be dumb but he wanted to stay anyway.

Steve, Vanessa, Meg, Austin, James and Julia all voted to evict Becky. Becky said she wasn’t surprised everyone voted to evict her. She said she should have been more aware of how the other house guests felt about her. Becky said because she is a very direct and confident person she wasn’t expecting the unexpected in the game. She also said Vanessa is very smart and gets the bigger picture. Becky said Steve has some tricks up his sleeve. She said if she made it back in the house she thought Vanessa would work with her again.

This week’s head of household competition was called Ready, Set, Whoa and was set up like a track meet. Julie Chen announced one person in the Jury House will get a second shot at winning the game this season.

SPOILER ALERT:

Austin wins the HOH competition so Vanessa looks to be safe yet another week.

Vanessa proves she’s playing a great game on Wednesday night’s edition of “Big Brother,” Austin said that John made a deal with him and then flaked on it. John said he knew Vanessa was throwing him under the bus and she is his only enemy in the house and the only one he’d go after. Steve told John to stop fighting with Vanessa and get some sleep. Steve said he wanted to help John in the game because he knew John would stay loyal to him.

Liz said it’s been a rough week so she wanted to pamper herself and enjoy being the queen of the house. Liz said she needed to speak to John to determine if he could be trusted. John said he had to play dumb with Vanessa so she wouldn’t blow up is game. He also said everyone who has had a blowup with Vanessa has now been evicted. John said if he aligned himself with Austin and the twins they could take out Vanessa. Liz said that the information John was giving them about Vanessa meant John could work with them.

Liz called the veto competition to a start. The randomly selected players were Austin, Meg, and Steve. Julia questioned why Liz got house guest choice and chose Austin over her to compete in the veto competition. John said he didn’t care whether or not he won the veto competition, he just wanted to show Austin and Liz that he trusts them and wants to work with them. Becky called herself a one hit wonder and said she wasn’t a well-rounded player.

This week’s veto competition was called Otev The Rock n Roll concert. Each round included one song about an evicted house guest and players had to find the stick of butter named after the evictee. Becky said winning the veto is the only way to guarantee she will stay in the game this week. John said it was best for him not to win so he could show Liz and Austin his loyalty to them. John was the first one eliminated. Austin said he had to find Shelly’s butter as soon as possible. Liz said she was scared Becky was going to take the competition. Steve said he didn’t want to win power of veto because he didn’t want to be a target for eviction. Steve was the eliminated from the veto competition. Becky fought Austin to get the correct butter, which was Clay. She said she was frustrated with herself and this competition might cost her the game. Becky was then eliminated from the veto competition. Liz said if she won power of veto Vanessa better keep her mouth shut. Meg was then eliminated from the veto competition and Becky said this sealed her fate in the game. Austin was then eliminated from the power of veto so Liz won that competition.

John said going forward he had to avoid making waves in the game. Becky said even though she lost the power of veto competition she was still going to fight to stay in the game. Liz told Vanessa she thought Becky was a threat to her. She also said that Vanessa was starting to remind her of Audrey. Austin said Vanessa was getting too nervous and questioned if he could trust her in this game.

John said it looks good for him this week because there are other people in the house that are bigger targets than him. Austin said his connection with Liz was growing. Julia asked Liz about the hickey on her neck that Austin left there. Julia said Austin is not the kind of guy you bring home to mom and dad. Vanessa told Steve she was sad and not in a good mood. She said that she was lonely and she felt like she was being targeted for eviction. Steve offered to play chess with Vanessa so she wouldn’t feel lonely. Vanessa told Liz she felt like a fourth wheel to the twins and Austin. Liz said Vanessa needed to get a grip and everyone was “sick of the show” Vanessa was putting on. Liz said she was scared that Vanessa was questioning Austin because she wanted to get him evicted and Liz didn’t want that.

Liz called the veto meeting to order. Becky told Liz that she and her allies were comfortable putting her up for eviction. John said he didn’t want to get evicted this week. Liz said she wasn’t using the power of veto on either Becky or John. Liz said she was keeping Vanessa in the game to protect her and Julia’s position in the house.
