August 12 Day 39

Reruns from the week were shown during the first half of the show. A lot of the focus was on Karen and how badly she has taken the three nominations she received on Wednesday night. The new episode focussed on Day 38, and began with Curtis and Cassandra discussing the nominations. Curtis told Cass that he feels his relationship with Karen is over since she believes he nominated her (he didn't). Josh, who is also having difficulty dealing with his five nominations, was shown sitting by himself most of the time, in a "funk". Brittany cries in Eddie's arms while he lay in bed, telling him she feels terribly guilty about Josh being nominated.

Karen told Brit and Curtis that she wants to be banished from the house on Wednesday, because she doesn't want to go through this again. Curtis told her that ultimately, the decision is up to the public, and it's really how Karen conducts herself 24/7 that will determine her fate. Curtis is shown in the Red Room telling BB that he feels it is unfair for Karen to condemn him for something he didn't even do. Jamie and Brittany talk privately about how weird the house has been since the nominations were announced. Brit said that she thinks Curtis nominated her (he didn't), and Jamie said she thinks Eddie nominated her (he did). Both believe either Josh or Karen will be voted out because of how badly they are dealing with their nominations.

Later, Brittany cries to Josh, and asks him how he is feeling about his fate. He told her he's dealing with it in his own way. He also said for her not to worry about him, and not to look at him any different - he's still the same person. Josh feels that it is an opportunity to be a better person. Brittany later cries to Eddie again. She told him she doesn't understand his feelings towards Jamie, i.e. whether he likes Jamie to date, or not. Eddie told her it's up to her to figure it out. Karen interrupts them, and tells them both she is ready to leave the house. She said she was there for the experience, and feels that she has gotten that, and it's been as good as it will get. She wants to see her kids and feels too crazy and unsettled to stay any longer. She also said that George makes her crazy and is a "f***ing idiot sometimes".

The three nominated guests are given 30 seconds each to plead their cases to the public, on why they should stay in the house. Cassandra goes first and says that she wants to stay with the group, is enjoying getting to know them, and feels that she brings stability to the house. Josh goes next, saying outside of the house he studies and works all the time, and he is in the house to have a good time. It's up to America whether he stays or not. Karen is last, saying her kids are her #1 priority and she is homesick for them - so if they want her out, please vote her out. 90% of her wants to be banished.

The pie-eating contest is shown next. The eight guests are divided into two teams, raspberries and blueberries, and must eat eight pies between the four of them that they baked themselves during the week. Their hands are held behind their backs, and they each must eat at least one pie each. Josh throws up twice in a bucket beside him, but keeps going. Eddie told him he can't wait to drink with him on the outside. The Raspberries end up winning, and therefore, get to determine the grocery list for the upcoming week. All of them receive 20% more grocery money because of the success of the challenge.
