August 17 - Day 44
Day 43 is shown, with Jamie and Josh out at the pool. Jamie told Josh that Brit is very upset and wants the two of them to talk about what's bothering her. The three go into the bedroom, and Brit accused Josh of lying to her, and told him that Karen had told her what Josh had said about his feelings towards both Brit and Jamie... That he liked Brit as a friend, however, was interested in Jamie. Josh didn't understand why Brit was so upset, so Brit tried to explain to him how she felt when Karen told her these things. She felt that Josh should have told her himself. Josh said that there is no substance to it because nothing is going on between him and Jamie, and therefore, nothing to tell. Josh said he spends so much time outside at the pool, so as not to come between Brit and Jamie's friendship. He said he has never lied to Brit and cares very much about her. Brit said she wants to believe him, and feels like a total sucker. She then cried very hard into her pillow, while Jamie tried to comfort her. Josh sat looking at the two very confused and visibly upset.

Later, Jamie talked to Curtis, saying she can't figure out Eddie. She said that Eddie told her he sometimes feels jealous of Josh because Josh gets all the womens attention in the house. She said he is very focussed on winning the money and doesn't want to get to know people, but every now and then opens up to her. She felt that she made a mistake opening up to him and getting close to him. Curtis said that Eddie has always been honest about hiss feelings. Eddie is then shown in the Red Room telling BB that maybe he's a heartless b**tard and thinks that it is crazy in the house. He said that BB knows his weaknesses, and doesn't know if they are going to play on them like they did with Cassandra's hair issue (Cass doesn't like getting her hair wet, however, BB made her participate in water games).

Day 44 - The clip of Karen speaking to the house guests through audio, while in the studio is shown. The guests talked about how nice it was her husband was there to greet her and George thinks maybe things may change between them now. Brit is shown crying in Curtis' arms because she missed Karen. George, Cass and Jamie are shown in the kitchen talking about Karen. Cass said she believes anyone of them nominated for banishment against one of the 3 young guys is up the creek. George in the Red Room told BB that every time someone leaves the house there is an empty spot. He said it is awkward and hard to get used to. He can't imagine what it will be like with only 3 left, and misses Karen because she had such a presence in the house. He wished her the best of luck.

Jamie and Brit discuss Jamie nominating Karen for banishment. Jamie said it was very hard for her not to say anything during the week, but felt she did the right thing because Karen missed her family so deeply. Brit told Jamie she did the right thing not saying anything to Karen. Next, Jamie told Cass the exact same thing she told Brit. She said that it would have been in her best interest not to nominate Karen, because she doesn't think Karen would have nominated her, however, still believes she did the right thing. Directly after that conversation, Jamie is shown telling Eddie the exact same thing again. She asked him what she should do, and he immediately responded "get naked"... He told her to keep her chin up and that Karen forgives her.

Jamie and Josh talked in the living room, and Josh told her that the past week in the house has been the most comfortable for him, even though he was nominated for banishment. Jamie told him she was watching him when Julie said his name Wednesday night, and he looked really surprised. Josh said his only regret would be to leave the house and not be who he is. He mentioned God, and Jamie said she believes God looks at the heart.

The show ends with a clip of Josh, Jamie and Brit's earlier conversation in the bedroom, and Brit asking for a hug from Josh. Josh hugs her for a long time, then heads to the door, giving her a very sweet, long smile as he leaves the bedroom.
