Either Meg or Julia will be evicted tonight, but another HouseGuest will be walking out the door by the end of the hour. Who will be the victim of the second double eviction episode of the season? Let’s find out!
After the Veto Ceremony, Meg doesn’t feel good about her chances since she’s sitting next to Julia on the block. John, on the other hand, is glad that he’s not on the block after being evicted last week. James points out how even though Julia isn’t a threat, she’s still a member of a tight three-person alliance. He hopes people will take a shot at the Austwins now that the opportunity has finally presented itself.
John and Vanessa talk game in the HoH room. The want to continue their secret alliance, and the two of them say they are willing to go to the final 2 together. Afterwards, John goes to the have-not room where Meg and James plead their case to him. In the diary room, John admits he wants the Austwins to be broken up, but he knows Vanessa wants Meg gone. He is torn, so he then talks to Steve about the vote. He asks him if they should flip the vote and evict Meg.
Steve then talks to Vanessa about the vote. Steve presents Vanessa with a strong argument about how dangerous it is to keep a three-person alliance in the game, but Vanessa is adamant about evicting Meg. She is certain that leaving James and Meg together in the game will only hurt their chances. She believes Meg and James would just team up with Austin and Liz and go against her, Steve, and John.
