Shelli ended up as the sole Head of House (HOH) because she got Johnny Mac to throw the Battle of the Block, so that Da’Vonne would go home this week. Yep - Da'Vonne is gone.
Then Johnny won the veto and Clay tried to convince him not to use it to save himself. Since John used the veto, Shelli had to nominate someone else. At first, she was going to pick Liz, which would have been a disaster. The twin twist is still going on, even while Da’Vonne figured it out week 3 (Liz and Julia are "secret" twins and having your typical twin fun with that - trading places, etc.) - which may have played a part in this surprising early departure.
If Liz had been on the block when the twin twist broke, she’d probably be the one flying home. Right now the house is pretty sure they are twins but Julie said Liz and Julia just have to make it to the fifth week without being evicted, not without being discovered so they still have a shot. Can you follow that?
Da’Vonne won the Big Brother Takeover Power of the Last Laugh by stealing the seventh phone call from Clay. Vanessa and Austin came up with a plan to get Meg nominated since nobody has a reason to vote against Meg. Vanessa is playing a solid game right now - she has the house trusting her and running their thoughts through her like Derek pulled off last year.
With all her maneuvering, Da’Vonne did get evicted, which was predicted here just last week. Meg stayed.
The Big Brother Takeover twist this week was by Rob Gronkowski (aka Gronk). The HOH competition was a mock game of beer pong called Gronk Pong.
Vanessa and Austin won HOH after a three-way tiebreak. As the show was closing and we were eavesdropping on the houseguests, there was even more evidence of Audrey overplaying the game.
Quiet week for Jackie.
Nominations tonight, veto on Wednesday, live eviction next Thursday.
And in her exit interview with Julie Chen, we gained a little more insight as to why Da’Vonne continually called the houseguests who orchestrated her eviction cowards. Her thoughts? They’re too afraid to put Audrey up. They respect what she’s doing as a person too much, being the first openly transgender contestant, to treat her like the threatening player many of them perceive her to be (Audrey is transgender, which is an advantage the player may or may not even want, but for now probably wouldn't deny).
The balance of power in the house this week may ultimately prove Da'Vonne to be right… or Audrey could be sitting in her spot next Thursday.
That will all depend on what Austin and Vanessa, the new Heads of Household, decide is best for the game.
Right now my money is on Becky or Austin, but we've still got a ways to go.
