[bunniefuu]

ANNOUNCER: Previously on " Brother ,"

after breaking a promise--

I nominate Kaysar.

ANNOUNCER: Jennifer sent Kaysar packing for a second time.

JULIE: Kaysar, you have been evicted from the Brother house.

Jennifer did not deserve HoH last week.

Kaysar gave it to her, and she screwed him over royally.

And now I want to screw her over royally.

ANNOUNCER: At the head of household competition--

JULIE: Janelle, congratulations.

ANNOUNCER: Kaysar's alliance regained power.

Give me that key, b*tch.

Give me the key.

ANNOUNCER: After a shocking announcement--

JULIE: In less than hours, another guest will be evicted.

Yeah.

JULIE: Janelle will join you in the living room

and announce her nominations for eviction right now.

ANNOUNCER: Janelle set the stage for revenge.

JULIE: Who is your first nominee?

Jennifer

JULIE: Who is your second nominee?

Maggie.

ANNOUNCER: At a close veto competition,

Jen fought hard to save herself.

It was really close.

It was neck and neck.

I was like, holy crap.

I was, like, praying that she didn't get it.

ANNOUNCER: But the Sovereign Three held on to control.

Congratulations, Janelle, on winning the power of veto.

Thanks.

ANNOUNCER: Janelle used the power of veto

to change her nominations.

I choose to nominate Ivette.

I put Ivette up, because I knew that I could secure

the votes for Jenny to leave.

ANNOUNCER: And finished what she set out to do.

JULIE: Jennifer, you have been evicted from the Brother House.

ANNOUNCER: At another close head of household competition,

the power switched sides once again.

JULIE: That is correct, Beau.

Congratulations.

You are the new head of household.

ANNOUNCER: Who will Beau nominate for eviction?

And will the power of veto be used

to save one of the nominees?

Find out tonight on "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

JULIE: By a vote of five to one, Jennifer

you have been evicted from the Big Brother House.

You're happy that you're staying, but at the same time

you're so sad that this person that you owe so much to

is leaving.

Strategically she's a very sneaky person,

so I'm glad to see her leave for that reason.

We lost someone else.

Big deal, you know.

Clears up a cot.

Hugging her goodbye was so, so hard.

I would sacrifice everything for Jennifer to stay here over me,

but with her leaving, it has given me a reason to fight

and actually play this game.

Goodbye, Jen.

Bye, Jennifer.

Goodbye.

I'll see you soon.

See you next week, Jen.

When Jennifer left this house, there was a cleansing.

I mean it was like the demons of an exorcise.

She backdoored Kaysar.

Just went against her word, , times on the Bible.

God, she did.

She swore on everything in the book.

With Jennifer being out of the way,

the house is going to be a little safer.

That's for sure.

That was for Kaysar.

Yep.

That was for Kaysar.

Jennifer is now the first one on the jury.

I'm not only playing for myself in this game,

I'm playing for Jennifer as well.

And what does suck though is that Jennifer

is no longer here.

So the million dollars is definitely out of the question.

JULIE: How many puzzle pieces are on the wall?

Beau. - Four.

JULIE: That is correct, Beau.

Congratulations.

You are the new head of household.

It feels fabulous, absolutely fabulous

to be Head of Household.

I did it for a lot of reasons.

And you know, I was, like, praying.

I was, like, please let me get it.

And I got all my answers right.

Very happy.

I'm so happy.

Baby, you're the best.

Beau winning today was the best scenario.

I love that Beau won today.

When one of us wins HoH, we all win HoH.

So we love when our side wins HoH.

I needed HoH.

I have to play both sides.

I have to walk that middle.

These people, if you create enough animosity between them,

then they seem to kinda try to take each other out.

The power of the house has shifted again as it's

been doing week to week.

It's unfortunate, because Howie and I

are definitely the most vulnerable,

because we are a pair.

How many safes [inaudible]?

- It was for the [inaudible]. - Three.

She didn't say.

I feel like I'm kind of a huge target,

because I think I told all of America

that he's basically a raging alcoholic and a male prost*tute

posing as a personal shopper.

wh*re.

You date older men.

I was very upset.

I wanted to keep the team rolling here.

You know get another one of those nerd herders

out of the way.

But you can't fault Bobo.

He had his day today.

I'm so happy.

Whew.

It's awesome.

Focus.

Focus.

Focus.

Now, Ivette and I--

[inaudible].

It was my [inaudible].

HoH.

I want to put up Rachel and Howie on the block.

What goes around comes around.

Just like they said that karma is a b*tch.

You know, it is a b*tch, and I will

give people what they deserve.

They need to sweat a little bit, because they had me sweating

last week and getting me all broken out from freaking

stress pimples and stuff.

Think about the repercussions for next week.

We want-- no offense-- but we do want someone other than us four

to be the target.

Of course.

Rachel and Howie are a very big target

right now, because both of them together

are an incredibly strong team.

But after that, I don't want to take too much attention off

of James in this game.

Regardless, this is a win situation, because one of them

is going home. - I know.

I know.

OK.

This sucks.

The answer was probably two.

I'm sorry.

I messed up.

Bad.

JULIE: How many safes in the gold room--

Rachel.

One.

JULIE: That is incorrect.

Damn.

God.

I hate this house.

I'm sorry.

I disappointed you.

We made some critical, critical errors.

I take it all the way back to your HoH.

That's when we started making bad decisions.

Howie and I have made a lot of mistakes in this game.

We made an error when we let Maggie basically walk

all over Howie and make these--

and get Howie to make all these deals.

Give me your word that they are going out.

They're [inaudible] and Sarah and James's keys

will be the two that are not in the box.

OK.

This is the worst possible scenario.

Right now, Howie and Rachel and myself are

probably all targets this week.

I played a good game.

I really, truly feel I did that.

We made some critical errors.

Yeah.

That's not but yeah, we made some big mistakes, I'd say.

Mhm.

I've made some big mistakes in this game, and that's fine.

I can own up to those.

I do own up to those.

We made some bad ones, but I'm going to keep fighting.

I'm not a quitter.

I'm going to fight as long as I possibly can.

I didn't come to this game to just give up and let

somebody else win the money.

We played a bad game.

Pretty much.

Yeah.

Mhm.

The thing is I don't want to see them win.

I don't either.

I can't handle it if one of them wins.

Hey, everybody.

Who wants to see my HoH room?

[squealing]

Hurry. Hurry.

Hurry.

Come on, James.

[inaudible]

What?

I got peanut.

Peanut is a three-pound miniature yorkie.

And there's like a picture of my fabulous mother.

She's a minister and a teacher.

And then have my beautiful and luscious sister.

Whoa.

You're sister's a piece of a*s.

Oh, sister's a POA.

Oh man, I can't wait to get back to Florida.

Maybe see whether we can arrange it, Bobo.

My mom's rock.

Really?

Yeah.

This is my family's, my mom, my sister and I's love rock,

because the foundation of our house, the rock that we live on

is love.

[interposing voices] - Congrats, Beau.

- Thank you. - Good job.

Oh my god.

[interposing voices]

Janelle and I, we stayed for just a few minutes.

We looked at the pictures.

We congratulated Beau.

And then we left.

I mean, there really wasn't any reason for us to stay.

When I win, I win for my team.

And of course, I invited everybody up.

And we were all together.

Where do you want my stuff? There?

Put your pictures here.

By the love rock.

Are we putting Cappy back where we had him.

Cappy's picture always comes up to the HoH room.

We have shrines in the HoH room.

You know, whenever any of us get our HoH,

we always have our ode to Cappy.

We have Cappy's hat and his picture.

He wants them all over here.

Yep. That's perfect.

OK.

Our group is solid, and I love it.

It's great.

Very positive, very positive room.

Good vibes going around in the house right now.

Thanks for the pasta, guys.

Thanks for the veggies.

After Bobo won his HoH title, the power you know shifted.

Yeah.

I'll be nicer to April.

I'll be nice to her until it's time to not be nice.

Whatever has happened in the house--

Right.

We've always kept our composure.

We've always hung out with everybody.

Always offered meals. - I kept my composure.

Just for a couple minutes I lost it a little bit.

Yeah.

He's stuck with you and your fat hubby and your ugly dog.

I'm so jealous, honey.

All right.

I'm sorry for Pepperoni.

I'm sorry for insulting your husband

and Pepperoni, but not you.

In a way, I kind of, kind of apologized

for the Pepperoni and the Matthew, you know her hubby.

I did not apologize for the insults on her.

And you don't even feel bad for what you've done.

Do you?

You cussed and you yelled, and you--

I mean it's like come on.

Who yelled?

You.

You're out of here next week, Busto.

Hey, Busto!

Hey, Busto!

Tell me, Busto!

Hey, Busto!

,.

You have made me very fat.

You know I was kidding.

You know I was joking. - Yeah.

Right.

Shut the [muted] up.

You are lying out your a*s.

I'm not going to accept his apology.

I might act like I do.

But no, he pretty much has screwed

himself out of $,.

The only person I keep beating is Maggie.

I should start insulting her now.

You can.

If Hurricane Howie stays here he's always simmering

out there out over the Pacific.

And he's brewing.

He's building up strength again.

And if Busto starts to going back to her old ways,

you know, Hurricane Howie may have to batter down

Busto island again, who knows.

Did you see that nominations are today?

I sure did.

What do you think is the biggest threat to the four

of us making it to the end?

Do you see them all equally?

Totally.

I think Rachel should go first, and Janelle, then Howie.

What about James?

James is a huge threat for me.

If James gets HoH, I think he'll personally come after me

like there's no tomorrow.

I feel like after them?

Why not before?

I don't know.

Because he can beat us in activities.

James is definitely a threat to us in the games,

to everyone in the games, because he

has this power to win the veto every week

whenever he plays it.

We are going to have a hell of a time getting rid of him,

and chances are he's going to get rid of one of us

before we get rid of him.

I think he'll be ready to leave once he

gets Janelle out of here.

He's not going to give up.

What?

You need to know start thinking,

if you're at the end, who do you want there with you.

I know.

I'm now thinking at the end I know

if I were up against Janelle or Howie

I would hands down win the $,.

James, it's just kind of on the fence.

I'm not really for sure.

I know.

If it's going to be-- I don't know.

I've already thought about that.

Most likely we would have a really hard time winning

against James, because they will vote for him,

because he has played the game.

We all know that James can be harder

to get out toward the end.

I still have lots to think about.

This game isn't over yet, and it's probably going to be more

tense later than it is now.

One of my duties as head of household

is to nominate two people for eviction.

There's Howie, Janie, and Ray-Ray, and then James is

somewhere caught in the middle.

I mean I got a one-in-four chance.

I don't know if I'm the specific target.

I don't know what they're thinking.

In my book, James is the biggest target

as an independent person.

So I don't want to take too much attention off

of James in this game.

I don't trust anyone anymore.

I know every single person in this house

made a pact to get Sarah and I out of the house.

I will never, ever feel safe in this house again.

I know that I'm going to be a target next week,

but I definitely take this responsibility very seriously,

because I'm taking away somebody's

chance at winning the money.

I feel like I'm kind of a huge target,

because I know they all hate me.

The power shifts back and forth every single week.

I mean I've been on the block every other week

since I've been here.

God lies in my heart.

I ask God to lead my path and put the right sense of peace

in my mind when I make my decisions.

Everyone, it's time for the nomination ceremony.

Come on in.

Gather around the table.

I just want to start off by saying that we all know what

has happened in the past couple of weeks,

and what I have done here is obviously

% strategic and % personal.

I will start off by taking out the first key.

Ivette, you are safe.

Thanks, Beau.

April, you are safe.

Thank you, Bobo.

Maggie, you are safe.

Thank you, Beau.

James, you are safe.

Thank you, Beau.

Janelle, you are safe.

Thanks, I guess.

Howie and Rachel, I put you guys up for eviction.

Howie, you showed us a side to you that

was very scary to me at least.

But you are also a fierce competitor, as you know.

You're a big threat to me.

And when you really want to get something done,

pretty much you get it done.

That's pretty much the reasons why I nominated you.

Rachel, in the past, in the Cappy days,

you pretty much played both sides.

You know, you were a very, a shady gray color.

And after the past couple of weeks,

it is very apparent that you are very

pitch black and stark white.

Hmph.

That said, this is the ending of the nomination ceremony.

Please put your keys back on the wall.

Thank you.

Black and white.

I still don't know what that means.

Does that make me or ?

Rachel, she is such a sore loser.

The whole time she was doing that stupid horse

face that she has.

She's awful, awful, awful, awful, awful.

You're a good competitor.

You've won two vetoes.

You've won HoH, you know.

You're a fierce competitor.

Thank you. Thank you, Beau.

Good job, Bobo.

Thank you, Bobo.

Thank you, Beau.

I'd rather be black and white than gray.

%.

Then, she goes on to go, [MOCKINGLY] "Thanks, Bobo.

Thanks, Bobo."

Thank you, Bobo.

You sarcastic wench.

You miserable old hag.

She's so nasty.

I can't stand her.

[theme music]

Here.

Let me open that thing.

I'm so out of shape.

Is it heavy, Beau?

No.

Not really.

She's such a b*tch, guys.

She is such a b*tch.

What does that mean?

Oh, thanks, Bobo.

[inaudible] Are you going to get your job back by being

such a sarcastic b*tch?

We will see the true Rachel this week.

Well, she's nasty.

Oh, I know.

I know.

Whatever, Bobo.

Let's go.

Oh, I cannot stand her.

She crawls under my skin.

She's such a miserable, aging woman.

Was that supposed to shake us up?

I don't know.

I guess.

Oh god.

Are we supposed to, like, be in tears and crying?

Oh, come on.

I don't think that was a big shock.

I don't care.

I don't know.

Rachel kind of took it personally.

She doesn't like the nerd herd.

Neither do I. They're a nerd herd.

Who do you think they'd vote out, James, between the two

of us? I think it's me.

Me. Me.

No.

I honestly think it'd be me.

Not at all.

I'm , dammit.

I don't think they meant it like one of you

guys is % of the equation, and the other one

was % of the equation.

I was just being a smart a*s, James.

Oh.

Sorry.

I'm trying to rationalize.

Why?

Rachel is hated by the Girl Scout troop.

They see her as being very two-faced,

but they also see her as a very good competitor.

They see her as a better competitor than Howie

and a better competitor than Janelle.

Please.

I could care less at this point.

She gets so nasty.

She's a straight out b*tch.

She gets so nasty.

I swear I'm appalled at her behavior.

She's evil.

What did you think of my speech?

I think you were amazing.

My god, Beau.

It was perfect, and it's true.

They have poor sportsmanship.

Talk about horrible, horrible behavior.

She didn't handle that very well.

No, she did not handle that well at all.

Oh well, tough titty said the kitty,

but the milk's still good.

Her eyes lit up when I said--

Can we talk about what a sore--

- When I said-- - --loser she is.

When I said, I said pitch black.

She went--

You were perfect.

You were perfect in every way.

Beau's speech was good, because it

hit on both strategic and personal reasons

why they were being nominated.

I think it was a way for Beau to finally describe to the group

how we felt about them for several weeks now.

And Beau has the ability to do it

in a way in which they're not going to hate him afterward.

I still don't think Beau will feel the repercussions

of his nominations.

Every color you gave her was such a cut down.

I know.

First, you called her shady gray.

Yeah. Of course.

Then you called her.

Pitch black.

Pitch black and stark white.

And then stark white.

I was all bam, bam.

Ba-bam.

[mimics expl*si*n] Where's James?

Hanging out?

As long as I'm here it's not going to happen.

What's not going to happen?

We're going to get rid of them.

They're not going to win.

All right.

Mm-mm.

I'll go, but I better see one of them come next week.

You will.

The following week.

I'm serious.

It's been trading sides every week.

Why would it be any different now?

It's going to happen.

Whoever is left of the three of us

after this week can make a run, start taking them out.

I mean--

They're going to have a serious advantage.

James can be there too.

There's three of us left.

James is pretty much playing both sides right now.

But I think James is going to try and get rid of them

before us.

If I win next week, don't come hug me.

Don't.

I want April to come up.

I want her to hug me.

I want her to embrace me.

And I want to whisper in her ear.

You're going up.

No. No.

No.

No don't even tell her till the nomination.

Blindside her.

Just like yeah.

Just don't give her a clue.

I think I'll mosey on over to the nerd heard

and see what they're saying.

I'm trying to have both sides to take out my competition,

because I feel they're all responsible for what

Sarah and I went through in this house.

What did they say to you about me?

No. Nothing.

I plan on being around till the end,

because they make dumber mistakes than I do.

I got a couple more weeks to stay here.

Um.

A few more vetoes to win hopefully.

Oh my god.

[laughing]

Woo.

We walked in, and the table shrunk to, like, nothing.

It's like a mother table gave birth to a baby.

There's eight spots there now.

You guys, I never thought we'd make it this far.

Like at least for myself.

I thought I'd be evicted right away.

Awesome.

I love this table.

I'm like the luckiest girl in the whole world.

When I saw the really small table,

it made me really proud of myself

for making it this far in the game, and I was so excited.

[giggle]

We really did make it.

The table shrinking just gives you more motivation to be here.

It makes you feel better about yourself,

better about the game.

The fact that you've made it this far is just amazing.

Three cheers.

It kind of gives you a perspective.

It makes you realize how long you've

been here, all the things that had happened up to this point,

and all the people that have left.

The number of people in the house is shrinking.

It's scary.

It's very scary.

I really want to win this veto,

because I don't want to miss all the things that

are going to happen to the end.

I really don't want to leave.

Everyone gather around.

It's time for the veto competition.

It's time for the veto competition.

Nominees, please join me up here.

[clapping]

Woo.

Yeah.

All right.

Only six will participate in this competition,

the head of household, the two nominees,

and of course three players of our choosing.

As HoH I will choose first, and I pick James.

I chose to have James compete with me today

in the veto competition, because I know he's

on my side this week at least.

And you know, obviously he's not going to use the veto,

which I'm very happy about.

You got to be the best.

I was surprised that Beau picked James to play.

You know, James is playing this game pretty well.

He's working both sides, and he knows he can.

Howie, who do you choose?

I choose Janelle.

I picked Janelle to compete with me

today for the power of veto, because I

think Janelle is the best player in the Big Brother house.

I think she's the most dominant overall player in this game.

And Rachel who do you choose?

I choose April.

Thank you, Rachel.

I chose April, because I felt that if it

was a physical endurance competition that I had

a good chance of beating her.

All right, guys.

It's time to put on our bathing suits.

[cheering]

No!

For the veto event Big Brother separated us.

They kept us in separate rooms.

And you know, Big Brother calls us out individually to compete.

When I walked outside, you know, I saw some floating heads.

It was cool.

I saw a big, big canister of whatever thingy.

Welcome to your next veto competition

called "Get Your Pairing Straight."

You'll notice that the Houseguests'

faces are floating in the pool.

It's up to you to rescue each Houseguest

and pair them up with their secret partner.

You will swim to the bottom of the pool

and unhook a floating face.

Then, you must run it over to the display board

and drop it into one of the two slots.

You can only move one face at the time.

The object is to have all seven pairs

correctly matched up side by side.

And you can fill them up to the top, you run to the end.

You hit the button.

Stops the clock, and you're done.

And hope your time is the best.

[horn blows]

You could only take one at a time from the pool.

All the way, drop it in.

Get another floatie out of the pool.

Go all the way back and, you know, match it up.

I don't know if it was bad karma.

When I went to dive in it, the farthest part of the deep end

for April's bobber.

I was down under water.

I couldn't get the sucker loose, and I

had to come up for oxygen. I was huffing

and puffing like [inhales].

I got asthma as it is.

[ding]

I finished with minutes seconds.

I thought it was going to be a good time.

But I thought James was going to give me a run for my money.

I have to win this veto, because if I

don't and Janelle does, then she takes off Rachel or Howie.

I go up in their place, and it might

be a little bit too tempting for some people to ignore.

[horn blows]

Strategy was essentially just to clear out

the ones in the front, not try to work through the ropes

to go after things I needed.

Just go for the ones that are closest.

And then, each time that'll start

clearing things out of the way.

First, I grabbed Ashlea and then Mike.

Put them up on the left side.

And then I put their corresponding partners

on the right side.

See.

When I'm competing, it's all subconscious, you know.

I just-- I just-- like I was in the zone.

Each task was easy.

It was just throwing them all together, and then of course

you having to race against the clock.

That's what made it difficult.

The minute I walked outside.

Let me talk about water and me.

One way that I would not want to die would be of drowning.

So right then I said, oh my god.

[horn blows]

The minute I jumped in, I'm like [gasping]..

Oh my gosh.

I'm claustrophobic, so I don't like being under water

or having to be like walk down anywhere, or any of that.

Then, I'm like jumping off of the stairs.

And I totally eat the grass.

My husband's going to be so embarrassed

when he watches me compete.

I was just, like, freaking out, because I couldn't-- if I

didn't get it the first time unlatched,

then I'd get even more freaked.

So I'd go back down, then I'd lose my breath,

and I come back up.

I got myself too worked up when I didn't get it the first time.

So then I'd work myself up too much

that I couldn't hold my breath.

When you're skinny, it's like you don't

think you need to work out.

And I am friggin' out of shape.

Get me a stretcher.

I'm just really happy that I completed it, and um--

and I'm alive.

It was definitely important for my side to win the veto,

because I didn't want the nominees to come off the block.

[horn blows]

My strategy in the veto competition

was to get the ones that were further away first.

I kind of got tangled a couple of times.

My [inaudible] pants, they actually are swimming trunks,

not the wisest decision.

I was trying to be fashionable, but of course, times like this

you can't be fashionable.

You have to be sporty-like, so.

[ding]

It's very important to me that either Howie, Janelle,

or I win the veto today.

[horn blows]

My strategy at this point is who's closest?

Who can I get the fastest?

Fill up a few on one side, and then match

the couples on the other side.

I found this game, exhausting.

Because you're under water you can't breathe the entire time.

Son of a b*tch.

And then you're supposed to run back and forth.

That took a lot out of you.

There were several challenging parts to this game for me.

Honestly, I was a little more concerned about things popping

out of my top that shouldn't.

It was extremely crucial that I win the power of veto,

because I want to save Howie, and I want to make sure

that I don't go up this week.

[horn blows]

My strategy was basically to be as efficient as possible.

So I didn't want to go to the end of the pool,

get things, because I knew it would be harder.

And then get caught up in all the mess swimming back.

I was trying to take breaths of air

before going down to get to the latch to take it off,

because if you don't take a big breath before you go down,

you'll panic, because you're down there for a while.

Beau's was stuck, And so I had to come up for breath again.

Went back down.

Still couldn't get it.

Came up for breath again.

Went back down for the final third and I finally got it.

[inaudible] Beau's causing me problems.

[ding]

After all the Houseguests competed for the veto

competition, everybody went outside

to find out the final results.

All right, guys, it's time to reveal the results

of the veto competition.

The fastest time is the person who wins.

April.

Damn.

Nine minutes and seconds.

When I saw April's time of almost minutes, I was like,

either she was out there crawling,

or she's just incompetent.

So I felt pretty good at that point.

Howie.

Six minutes.

I knew he did well.

And seconds.

Beau.

Six minutes and seconds.

[clapping]

James.

Five minutes and seconds.

Janelle, five minutes and seconds.

James and Janelle, man, they were neck and neck.

I mean Janelle was like right there four seconds behind him.

I don't know how she's doing it.

Rachel, eight minutes and seconds.

Damn.

James, you are today's veto winner.

Holy moley.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

I am not at all happy that James won the veto, but he did.

And we're kind of at his mercy, and Beau's mercy.

But I really think they want to split up Howie and I,

and evicting me is the smartest move.

I'm not happy, you know, about James winning the veto,

but at the same time, if I go out,

it's because I lost to the greatest player

in "Big Brother" history.

I feel like a big loser, because I'm

only four seconds behind James.

I could have done better, and I could have won that veto.

Four seconds.

I was like huh?

I got the veto.

I'm safe for another week.

Um.

Nothing else really matters right now.

James, an all-time record holder of five vetoes now.

God.

No.

Can you believe that?

That's awesome.

I have to say James is the "Big Brother" history

record holder here for vetoes.

He has won his fourth veto.

James, you are today's veto winner.

Congratulations.

James, you are now the holder of the golden power

of the veto.

Congratulations.

James, you are the winner of the golden power of veto.

Thank you.

Power of veto goes to James.

And if you really want to say how many vetoes he's won,

he's won five, but it was Sarah's TV.

[ding]

Yeah.

We're going to have to come up with a platinum veto.

Veto all-time champion.

Damn.

Can't stop the guy.

Janelle was so friggin' close.

Yes.

I know.

It's very important to keep James on our side,

because he's going to be winning vetoes, so why

not keep him on our side?

It was the hardest and the most strenuous.

That's what I thought.

I had to win this veto, because if I didn't, Janelle

was going to win it.

And she would have taken off Rachel or Howie.

In which case the only substitute nomination

would have been myself.

[WHISPERING] I was this close.

You know what, if they vote Howie out, I will be so pissed.

You think they're going to vote Howie out?

They might.

Because they don't like him, because of his attitude lately.

I do not want him to get evicted.

I want to go.

I will sacrifice myself to make sure Howie stays in this game.

This is Howie's game, and he deserves it more than I do.

He deserves to be here.

I wanted him to get off the veto so he had a % guarantee

he wouldn't be evicted. - Yeah.

That's why I wanted to win it too.

You were so close.

I wanted it so bad, so I didn't get put up.

I'm pissed.

Now, I might go up.

There's always a chance I could go on the block.

I don't know.

I mean, James, he's so cunning and sly.

I don't really know what he's doing.

They might want me though.

- No. - You sure?

Yeah.

And I'm happy to get out.

I just do not want to see Ivette and Beau

going to the final two.

No way.

And if James is helping them, he is pathetic.

James has got some kind of deal with Beau and Ivette,

I'm sure of it.

I don't know what he's promised them.

And I don't know what they've promised him.

But we're kind of at his mercy.

If that piece of crap doesn't take Howie off of the block,

I'm going to be pissed.

I'm a little concerned that they would send Howie home.

They definitely could pull that one.

Then I'd be trapped in this place with those people.

God.

Well, we'll see what he does tomorrow.

You've got two sides here.

One side annoys the hell out of me in one way.

The other side annoys the hell out of me in another way.

Obviously, I have to deal with Rachel and Howie,

because I'm still trying to play both sides.

And I still need them.

You know, they're going to be mad either way.

I have no allies.

No friends in this game whatsoever.

I am playing both sides.

I don't give a rat's a*s about either side to be honest.

I don't trust Howie and Rachel together,

but Janelle is easily the most dangerous player.

Any sort of thing you can do in this house

to put a slightly larger target on somebody else

is to your advantage.

Everyone into the living room.

It's time for the veto ceremony.

You know how to do the ceremony?

You need some help James?

We're walking.

I got it.

Whoa.

What are you doing with those?

This is us, I mean.

Aw.

Welcome, everyone, to the veto ceremony.

Howie and Rachel have been nominated for eviction.

But I hold the power of veto, so I have the opportunity

to veto one of the nominations.

Rachel, if you'd like to go first and tell me why

I should veto your nomination.

Thanks, James.

Um.

I think to do well in this game you're going to have to win

competitions, and Beau won HoH.

He nominated me.

I completely respect that decision.

I probably would have done the same thing.

James, you won the veto.

You're awesome at the vetoes, and, you know,

whether you use it or not, I respect your decision.

Whatever you have to do, it's fine by me.

Thanks.

Howie?

Since week one or two, James, you've been the most

dominant player in this game.

You know, you beat me again yesterday.

You won the veto fair and square.

And I didn't, so whatever you feel

that you got to do with it, you know, it's your decision.

It's your veto.

Thanks, guys.

Obviously, this is not a easy decision, because it

means, you know, by me using--

using this or not using it, you know,

obviously it puts someone in the position that none of us

like to be in.

Based on the fact that it would be pretty much

impossible to make a decision between the two of you,

as to who to save, and you know, to respect Beau's nomination

decisions, I choose not to use the power of veto

to veto one of his nominations.

So this veto meeting is adjourned.

I did not use the veto today simply

because the Girl Scout troop would have

gone nuts had I used the veto.

Everything is going my way right now,

so I need to keep both sides happy.

As the situation stands right now, of the two,

I would prefer Rachel, but we don't vote until Thursday.

So a lot of things can change in that amount of time.

I think strategically it would be smarter to vote me out.

But they may see Janelle and Howie as a stronger alliance.

We'll just see what happens.

If Hurricane Howie stays here, and he sees the right scenarios

to rebuild and gain strength again and gain power again,

then Hurricane Howie is going to knock some Houseguest,

you know, off their pedestal.

ANNOUNCER: Who will be evicted next?

Rachel or Howie?

And who will become the new head of household?
