The good news for him was that via his knowledge of Liz/Julia as twins, he managed to earn a figurative seat-at-the-table (but not a definitive alliance) with Vanessa and company. Seems as if these houseguests are finding ways to ensure their targets are getting evicted.

Special thanks to Luke Adams for this episode recap.
That means Vanessa has to name another houseguest to be placed up for eviction. If Liz could survive five evictions, then her twin sister Julia could also enter the game as an individual. Some of the reactions were amusing to watch but also really spoke as to how observant or non-observant some of these houseguests are. Later Julia tells a pissed off Liz “You need to lose weight and I need to gain weight”. Austin gets testosterone-rage when he sees Liz and Jeff under the covers. This way, they would have a strong six-person alliance once Julia entered the Big Brother 17 house as an individual player.
Later, Jeff tells Austin everything he already knows.
I’m kind of sad that this twin twist was blown up so early in the game, however with super fans of the show playing this season it was only a matter of time. Why wasn’t Clay’s one of them? They decide that one of them should go up now and the other should be left off as an option to backdoor. Meg was brought to tears as she embraced Jackie while Jeff’s Memory Wall image faded to black and white. However like last week the reigning HOHs have an ulterior motive. Vanessa got excited about the news and swore her loyalty to Julie for sharing the secret. Austin still claimed, however, he’d do everything possible to keep Jason and Meg safe. Meanwhile Vanessa’s main goal is to evict James or Jeff.
In reality, Vanessa and Austin will not be adhering to that plan. John got nominated yet again, with James by Vanessa and Austin put Meg and Jason up for nomination. The object of the competition was to match clothing with those of partygoers, in the foam to then rush to their VIP. James and John feel confident that they can win the BOTB. The duo not only held council with other members of the coalition, they also decided who would be the eventual overall HOH, with Austin throwing the “Battle of the Block” competition to allow for Rousso to take the overall responsibility.
In the Battle of the Block, Jason and Meg surprisingly won, I say surprisingly because neither of them had any faith that they were going to win.
The HG are in the kitchen when the BBTakeover music hits and they rush to the living room. Vanessa nominates James and John.
Audrey, well aware she was now persona non grata among numerous players, laid low most of the week, just hoping to escape being put up for elimination. They want to either prove or disprove it. Austin says to us that this is just making him a bigger target since he wants to protect Liz. It is Day 22 in the Big Brother house and Austin has his own plans that may be different than the plans for the house. Jeff, Jackie Ibarra, John McGuire and James discussed whether Liz could really be a twin. Vanessa wanted Austin to be dethroned so that she could remain HoH. Vanessa tells him he sealed his fate.
Still residing near the bottom as the house’s general target, although those in power the past two weeks – Shelli and Vanessa – have kept her off the chopping block, much to the chagrin of the rest of the house who continue to be exasperated by her web of constant lies and distortions. Austin said John was doing what he promised Austin he would do.

Even if it’s a piece of metal, at least something finally understands John, who surprised us all this week with his hidden talents of perception and his use of inside voice.
