It's Liz's HOH and she'll do whatever she wants! However a hickey is not something she was expecting, especially from her showmance Austin. Liz's loyalties are upsetting her twin sister Julia. But first, nominations have been set and the POV was looming on last night's episode. Here's my recap of the episode!

From Top to the Block

After Liz nominates Becky and John, both were not happy about being nominated and their goal is to make sure one of them win's the POV to ensure their safety. Vanessa continues to plant doubts to Liz about John. She even tries to manipulate him in making sure their previous conversation is in the past and work together. John however is not about forgiving her as she continues to ruin his game. Austin is playing.

OTEV of Rock & Roll for POV

Going into the POV competition, John realizes he needs to throw the competition to gain some loyalty towards Liz. John tell's Austin this as Austin assures him he'll be safe for the week. Austin then runs to tell Liz that John will throw the competition but also fears that by him doing so Becky will win it. It was really interesting to see how James predicted John and Becky's random draw for who would play for POV. John drew Meg and Becky drew Steve, while Liz drew houseguest's choice and choose Austin over her twin sister Julia. Julia took it a bit personally and was wondering where her sister's loyalties are at. So much for "sisters before misters."

James was selected to host the competition, however he was upstaged by the special guest. A Big Brother "legend," it was OTEV, who in this incarnation was a rock and roll butter god. The object of the game was to give OTEV the correct butter with the name of an evicted houseguest. Steve mentions this competition is like musical chairs and it sort of is because after each round one person would be eliminated. After the fifth round someone would be crowned with the POV. John kept his promise of throwing the competition and was the first contestant out. Steve also didn't want to win the competition and wanted to keep his persona of being weak in the game and was eliminated next. Becky fought hard but was eliminated next. Meg came from a wipe out but was unable to find Mama Day's name and was eliminated next, leaving the showmance of Liz and Austin to battle for the POV. Liz enticed Austin that if he would she would give him a kiss which was more than enough motivation for the wrestler. However he fell short as this week's HOH Liz won the POV. Austin may have lost but still received a kiss from Liz.

Vanessa's River Of Tears

With Liz winning the POV she had all the power this week. Vanessa feeling alone wanted some consoling from Liz as she felt Austin was not wanting to talk to her anymore. I agree with Liz in that Vanessa has become the new Audrey in wanting sympathy. Liz has heard and seen these tears but is tired of them. She could take the opportunity to put Vanessa on the block to cry her way to jury or keep her in the game with a target bigger than her own. Liz decided to choose the later and kept her nominations the same.

My Prediction for Eviction & HOH

I predict it will be a unanimous vote 6-0; Becky will be evicted from the Big Brother house and sent to jury to join Shelli and Jackie. Which I look forward to seeing the jury house and what Shelli and Jackie are up to at the house. I would love to see and predict that John win next week's HOH. He will be more than fired up to take out his number one target Vanessa. Tune in tonight at 9 p.m. to CBS Detroit to see whether Becky or John will avoid being evicted and who will be crowned the new HOH!
