ZingBot has been upgraded from 3000 to 9000 and is newly "Zingle!" ZingBot also officially announced that he's on twitter and can be followed @ZingBotOfficial. But first, Austin had nominated John and Steve for eviction this week. They currently have an alliance with him as well as the twins. Vanessa is on the outs with Austin and the twins can she mend the relationship? Here's my recap of last night's episode!

Vanessa, John or Steve is the Target?

Austin is still keeping the option of putting up Vanessa for eviction. However he's telling her whatever she wants to hear. Assuring her that John is the target. Meanwhile Steve is upset that he's up on the block against John. Steve was under the assumption that Vanessa was going on the block with John. But before the nominations ceremony, Steve saw Vanessa have a conversation with Austin. Assuming that she said something to convince him to not be nominated.

Liz's target for the week is to make sure to split John and Steve. It's apparent that they are working together. She's also trying to protect Vanessa as to keep herself, her twin sister Julia and Austin safe. I'm surprised that Liz is playing this game better than her other half, Austin who's suppose to be the HOH this week. Austin is still up in the air as to which is his real target is this week.

Zinder for the POV

I wonder why ZingBot became newly "Zingle?" I was excited as well as the houseguests to see him back on Big Brother. The "Zings," ZingBot gave out were really funny. From James being "Friend Zoned," with Meg to which Julia being the not so smart twin and to Vanessa playing the best Crying Game, I was laughing at all. Except one "zing," was not so great for Austin. Apparently ZingBot didn't know Austin's girlfriend away from the house is an ex. Austin however did say earlier in the season he had a girlfriend. So ZingBot wasn't wrong and poor Liz got the "Zing."

It was the face morphing competition for this week's HOH, called "Zinder." ZingBot was looking for a new fembot to love. Those fembots were a mix of three houseguests as a new fembot face. This was a timed competition and whoever had the fastest time would win. First to go up was Julia who was finally selected to compete in the POV. She had a time of 4:45.7. Julia kept her lead as Steve and Austin had tried to complete the competition in a quicker time. Then Vanessa who was selected by Austin went and put up a time of 2 minutes and 51.6 seconds. John was up next and tried as he might was unable to. Lastly was Meg and was neither able to complete the competition in time. Giving the POV to Vanessa.

Vanessa Feeling Betrayed

With the POV with Vanessa, she told John that she was not going to use the POV. As a last ditch effort, John confesses to Vanessa about the alliance that had formed with him, Steve, Austin and the twins. Surprised by this information, Vanessa asks Liz about the information that was given to her. Liz tries to deny it at first but admits to the alliance and plants the seed that it was Steve who orchestrated the alliance. Then Vanessa confronts Steve about it and tries to give him the cold shoulder. In the end Vanessa decided not to use the POV on either nominee.

My Prediction For Eviction & Returning Jury Member To Reenter the Game

I believe that it will be a 3-2 vote for Steve to be sent to jury. However the evicted houseguests this week along with Shelli, Jackie and Becky will duke it out to reenter the game. They'll either do it where the return jury members compete with one another or it will also go along with the upcoming week's HOH competition. If it's the latter then the last returning jury member to stand will reenter the game and if they were to be the last one standing with the houseguests in the house, they'd also be the new HOH for the week. I predict that all the houseguests and jury members will compete in one endurance competition. Similar to season 15 when the jury members and houseguests all competed in one HOH competition, that also decided with jury member would return to the game.

Tune in tonight on CBS Detroit 62 to see whether John or Steve is evicted, if either one of them or Shelli, Jackie or Becky will return to the game and if we'll see a new HOH crowned! I would predict an HOH but I have a feeling they'll save that for Sunday's episode!
