The second half of the Big Brother 17 premiere aired Thursday, followed by the star of the live feeds. There’s a lot to catch up on so let’s get into it …
On Wednesday night, we met eight of the houseguests, meaning there were six left to enter the house. Julie Chen announces two twists to the group.
Meanwhile, Clay already makes the Ian-Steve connection, most likely putting a target on Steve’s back from the onset here on Big Brother 17.
Julie announces that Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race will be revealing the first twist – that Jeff and Jackie from TAR are joining the game.
For the second Head of Household competition, Vanessa sits out as the players must hold onto a pole while a cable tries to pull them off.
Steve goes first. Jeff bails on purpose to try to fly under the radar for a bit. John is out third and Becky fourth, leaving Liz, Jackie and Jason.
Liz loses and Jackie makes a deal with Jason to do the same. Jason is your new HoH and joins James in that dual role that’s back in 2015.
Phil tells Da’Vonne and Vanessa they will be rewarded for sitting out the HoH competition. It’s not immediately clear how that will be the case.
