'Big Brother 15' Episode 27 Recap VIDEO: Amanda Wins Power of Veto & Torments Elissa [NEWS & Details]
Big Brother 15 aired its 27th episode Wednesday night featuring the Power of Veto competition and the Veto ceremony.
Head of Household: Elissa Slater
Nominees: Aaryn Gries & McCrae Olson
Other houseguests: Amanda Zuckerman, Andy Herren, GinaMarie Zimmerman, Judd Daugherty and Spencer Clawson.
The episode began in the aftermath of Elissa nominating Aaryn and McCrae for eviction. Both nominees were very upset about getting nominatied while Amanda was suspicious when GinaMarie started acting like Elissa's friend.
Amanda confronted Elissa by asking her if she would put her, Amanda, up if either Aaryn or McCrae won the Veto. Elissa said "no" but Amanda was suspicious, considering Elissa's shifty behavior. Elissa told Judd and Aaryn that she was interested in evicting Amanda this week. Both of them said they were on board with Elissa's plan.
The houseguests picked players for the Veto competition. Elissa, Aaryn and McCrae were automatically selected to play, while Amanda, GinaMarie and Judd were randomly selected. Elissa was frustrated that Amanda was picked for the competition, considering her plan.
Elissa and GinaMarie were whispering in the kitchen while Amanda kept walking back and forth throughout the house. This caused Amanda to confront GinaMarie, asking her why she's getting so close to Elissa when she seemed to want her out the week before. Amanda then talked to Elissa in the HOH room, explaining that she was worried that Elissa would nominate her if either Aaryn or McCrae won Veto. Elissa assured Amanda that she wasn't going to, though Amanda was still suspicious of her.
The houseguests participated in the Power of Veto competition next, which involved the players rolling a ball back and forth on a ramp without letting it touch the ground. Whoever got to 250 rolls without dropping the ball would win the Power of Veto.
Though the competition was close between Amanda and GinaMarie, Amanda wound up winning the Power of Veto - her first competition win of the season.
After the competition Elissa told Judd that Andy would likely be her replacement nominee, considering Amanda would take McCrae off the block. She later decided to tell Amanda that she threw the competition. This set Amanda off on a tirade, in which she told Elissa that she didn't have anyone in the house anymore.
Amanda came up with a self-professed "master plan" to keep Andy safe this week. She tormented Elissa by making personal remarks directed to her. She told Andy to go console Elissa after she was done torturing her to ensure that Elissa keep Andy safe.
Andy did as he was told and tried to console Elissa. However, the tactic did not work: Amanda took McCrae off the nomination block and Elissa nominated Andy in his place.
The next episode of Big Brother 15 will air Thursday at 9 p.m. on CBS featuring the live eviction and the next Head of Household competition.
