-------------------------------------
Opening Segment: Day 56
-------------------------------------

A clip of Marcellas’ speech regarding his reasons for nominating Amy is shown as well as the faces of the other houseguests showing their reactions to Marcellas’ speech.

Amy at table to Roddy: “I just don’t know why everyone’s nomination speech of me has to be so cruel.”

Marcellas in DR states that him nominating Amy was the “hugest intervention” he could possibly do. Now showing Amy still at table looking very upset.

Roddy and Amy at table. Roddy tells her he is sorry (about the speech) and Amy tells him its ok. Roddy in DR states that Marcellas’ speech to Amy was selfish and ridiculous to hurt her for no reason. Danielle in DR states she felt very sorry for Amy but then said “Amy is Amy and you have to have patience with someone like that”.

Danielle tells Marcellas outside to tell Amy he loves her. Showing Marcellas and Danielle on BB court. Danielle asks what Marcellas wants and he says its time for Roddy to go but hopes Amy takes this learning opportunity. Danielle tells him she is proud of him.

Lisa in DR feels Amy handled herself well during the speech, but said she seemed to fall into a coma like state at the table and she could see how hurt Amy was by Marcellas. Showing a clip of Lisa asking Amy if she wants to talk and Amy replying that its not the nomination that bothers her, but rather what was said.

Clip of Marcellas and Danielle outside and Roddy joins them. Marcellas tells Roddy that he is “terrifically sorry”, but that it was not personal, everyone in the house was feeling this way. Clip of Marcellas in DR saying that he didn’t do this to Roddy, Roddy did it to himself. Back to the three talking and Roddy tells Danielle that if she had a problem with him, she should have just told him. Roddy tells Danielle that she told him she trusted him 100 percent and she says she doesn’t remember. Marcellas states that logically Chiara was doing Roddy’s bidding and Roddy stated it was emotional, not logical. Marcellas said if the people around him are doing things that benefit Roddy, then that “power structure” came back on Roddy. Marcellas gets right in Roddy’s face and tells him he could have called Gerry or Josh out and Roddy says he did call Josh out (showing clip of Roddy asking hgs if they approached Josh). In DR, Marcellas says he told Roddy that it was the perception of everyone that he was the power. Roddy stated in DR that Marcellas’ perception is wrong, that “he [Marcellas] insists that he is the star of the show and everyone else is non-existent”. Back to conversation between three. Roddy says, “You talk about a nest of vipers, you’re the jackal doing that.” Roddy then says to Danielle “You telling me to my face that you 100 percent trust me when you had a different story going on, that’s the nest of ******** vipers.” Roddy tells Marcellas he 100 percent forgives Marcellas but that he doesn’t think the right choice was made. Marcellas starts to walk away while Roddy still trying to talk to him. Marcellas says he accepts Roddy’s apology and wants Roddy to accept his. Marcellas in DR says, “It was crazy. Here he is the smart white guy telling the two black people that they are being emotional and acting crazy.” After Marcellas and Roddy leave, Danielle says “Nest of vipers, pack of jackals, flock of vultures”.

Amy comes out to Danielle. Amy tries not to cry but starts crying when Danielle tells her that she loves her. Danielle encourages Amy to go talk to Marcellas. Amy goes to talk to Marcellas in HOH. Says she was nervous about going in to talk with him. Marcellas and Amy talk in HOH about the nomination and speech. Marcellas in DR says, “...every time something happens, Amy has this epiphany and you want to believe in the epiphany…” Marcellas told Amy he doesn’t want her to leave and doesn’t want to use her as a decoy. They hug and make up.

Marcellas and Danielle in HOH discussing Roddy and how he is so good with words. Marcellas says that he did what everyone else wanted him to do, as it was the will of the house. Danielle promises that she won’t allow it to happen when Marcellas says that if Roddy survives, he will put him (Marcellas) up next week.


-------------------------------------
The Other Side of Roddy
-------------------------------------

Music playing as Roddy stands in the hot tub with a cleaning type brush splashing water as if he is blessing something and he is also chanting while doing this. Marcellas in DR, “Roddy has been lighter”. Roddy still chanting in hot tub, says “30 minutes or less”. Several scenes of Roddy joking around or doing silly things. Marcellas in DR, “He’s been alive and around and accessible. Before he was inaccessible, Chiara would come get him and take him away from the group.” Scene of Roddy talking to a taco. Amy in DR, “You know he jokes around a lot more. He and Jason play like children…” Show scene of Roddy and Jason in DR in their black outfits, red swim caps and goggles. Danielle in DR, “I think they feel real sexy in those speedos” and growls. She says, “The Devil does have a goofy side. He’s only the Devil when he speaks words and twists them around. You got Lucifer, cause Lucifer was the great angel in the heaven.” Scene of Roddy acting silly in the shower while Amy and Lisa laugh. Danielle in DR goes on to say that Roddy is Satan sometimes and Lucifer other times. Marcellas in DR, “Strategically it was smart but its also too little, too late. If he had done this all the way through, we wouldn’t disbelieve him.” More scenes of silly antics of Roddy.

------------------------------------------
Deal, What Deal?
-----------------------------------------

Marcellas and Roddy on the bb court. Marcellas tells Roddy that anyone that had won HOH was going to put Roddy up. Marcellas goes on to say that if he didn’t put Roddy up, it would look like he had a deal with Roddy. Roddy says Marcellas told him he wouldn’t do it and it was all he had to go on. Marcellas questions when he told him that and Roddy replies that it was in the hot tub. Shows scene of hot tub conversation showing Marcellas saying he is in. Marcellas tells Roddy the deal wasn’t cemented for him. Roddy tells him its too late as he already put him up and there’s nothing he (Marcellas) can do. Marcellas doesn’t agree and says nothing was established.

------------------------------------------
Pre-Power of Veto Worries
------------------------------------------

Amy and Danielle at table. Danielle tells Amy to let things be and Amy says she is fine. Danielle in DR worried about power of veto competition. She doesn’t want Amy to win it. Switch to Amy saying it’s not up to her, as she doesn’t vote. Danielle tells Amy there is still something she could do and tells her not to do it. Amy explaining in DR about the previous power of veto competition when they had to make deals and states she made a deal to save Roddy if he was up and she had the power of veto. Clip of previous POV competition. In that clip, Roddy’s deal is that if someone has the veto power and he is on the block and they have two people to choose, they chose him and Amy said she would do it. Amy in DR again relating the deal as if she had POV, she would veto Roddy. Amy tells Danielle she has to veto him if she wins POV. In DR, Amy says vetoing Roddy will probably lead to her eviction. Amy tells Danielle she doesn’t want to win POV, but will not purposely throw it so whatever happens, happens. Danielle upset about the possibility of Amy vetoing Roddy. Tells Marcellas and he is upset as well. Marcellas says “D*** it, there’s always a loophole with this d***ed thing.” Marcellas ranting about how lucky Roddy is and how he must have been born under the lucky moon. Says Roddy will win the $500,000 and then go play the lottery and win more. Danielle in shower, Jason at sink in BR. Danielle tells Jason about Amy giving her word in the box POV game. Jason did not know how to react but told Danielle he wasn’t going to let her win it.

Amy and Roddy in green chairs near BR. Roddy tells her he wishes there was a way they could both make it, Amy agrees. Amy says she wants to win POV but then said if he won and took her off, Marcellas would have to put up Danielle. Roddy says it would be best for Amy to get POV. Amy says, “If I win it and you come off the block, you have to vote for me to stay.” Roddy says, “The only problem I have is if Lisa goes up against you.” Amy says she can’t use the veto on him if he’s not going to vote for her to stay. Roddy tells Amy that is the problem. If the other two (Danielle or Jason), he would agree to vote for her, but can’t vote for her if she is against Lisa. Amy in DR saying she figured it out because Roddy could not give his word if she vetoed him. Back to Roddy and Amy with Roddy telling her that he wants her to stay more than anything on Earth, but then says, “you know, understand”. Roddy in DR says he hopes Amy keeps her word about using the POV on him and Amy in DR says Roddy played her like a “master manipulator”. Says it took her awhile to figure it out, but she isn’t going to sell herself down the river for him and that he underestimated her.

------------------------------------------
You Gave Me Your Word
------------------------------------------

Early morning, Danielle and Roddy in kitchen. Roddy pondering to Danielle about what it means about giving someone your word. Danielle asks Roddy if Marcellas gave him his word that he wouldn’t nominate Roddy and Roddy said yes. Danielle in DR talking about when Jason was HOH and asked Roddy about having deals with anyone. Switch to clip of Jason/Roddy conversation. Roddy says he thought there was a deal with Gerry keeping him in but its done now that Chiara is gone. He said only thing left is “this thing with Dani”. Back to Danielle in DR repeating that Roddy only said he had a deal with her. Back to Danielle/Roddy conversation with Roddy telling Danielle that Marcellas approached him with the deal. Danielle in DR saying she caught him in a lie. Roddy tells Danielle Marcellas just wanted a free week and that he (Roddy) tends to be too trusting. Danielle in DR “Don’t underestimate me. I got you. I got you. I got you. You’re the Devil. You’re Lucifer.” She says if you want to see the Clash of the Titans to watch her sit back and see him play his game. Danielle says Roddy can’t outwit her and she has beat him at his own game. Roddy tells Danielle she isn’t going anywhere if he is around. Says in DR that he gave Dani his word and she accepted it and feels relief that if things work out, he and Dani can be on the same team. Danielle in DR, “Did I lie? Yes. Did I give my word?” (Shakes head no).

-------------------------------------------------

Everyone goes outside and there is an obstacle course in the BY. All must put on a Speedo cap. Marcellas welcomes them to BB Charm School. Who will walk away with the POV?

Massage Time

Jason talking to Danielle in funny voice “I’m not really comfortable about a massage.” Jason feeling squeamish about someone touching him. Feels it would be more uncomfortable if it were a guy.

Jason and Amy off to BY with their baskets of massage things and robes. Found an Aqua Massage machine in the BY. Jason feeling relieved no one will be touching him. Amy in for first 15 minutes and giggling, saying it tickles. Jason’s turn and he was uncomfortable at first. Amy takes controls and has the massager stop on Jason’s bottom. Everyone laughing. Jason embarrassed but laughing.


---------------------------------------------------
After POV Competition Worry
---------------------------------------------------

Jason, Danielle, and Lisa all agree that they do not want Amy to take Roddy off the block. They want to tell her that if she uses it, she will go out the door. Jason also says that it is unfair of Roddy to ask Amy to use it. Jason also says in the DR that he feels it’s unfair for Roddy to ask that of Amy. Danielle says in the DR that Amy gives her an ulcer because she flips back and forth too much. Danielle thinks Amy might use the POV. Jason says he can’t believe she would give up the game now after they brought her back and that if she did, she would be betraying them. Danielle in DR says Roddy has two days to work her and tell Amy what she wants to hear. She hopes that Amy is strong enough to resist. Jason and Lisa leave and Danielle is in green chair near BR praying to God that Amy does not use the POV.

-------------------------------------
America’s Choice
-------------------------------------

Marcellas is calling everyone in the LR for America’s Choice. The AC question and answer are shown on the plasma screen. Everyone excited and saying thank you to America. Lisa in DR says Marcellas had a glimmer in his eye when he came out with instructions so you knew it was something good. Marcellas reads instructions. The hgs will be shopping for clothes and accessories. The LR will be transformed into the BB boutique (showing clip of LR as the boutique). Contest begins with the Hgs in the by. They will have 90 minutes to get as many things as possible and the items must be on their bodies. Marcellas in DR “…its like ok, Marcellas, its your week and we are giving you a present and we are putting a really pretty bow on it…” Shopping starts as hgs enter. Marcellas strips down to underwear to get more clothing on. Danielle in DR “I wanted everything off the rack…” The guys are putting on a lot of things, pulling things off the hangers. The women seemed to be going slower, removing items carefully off of the hangers. Jason in DR “I was trying to put any shirts that just had a neck hole over my head…” Whistle blows and hgs head outside. Lisa in DR “if there were any clothes left on that rack, I’d be really surprised”. Everyone going through what they got. Lisa in DR in new work out gear saying, “I got the wonderful new work out gear” as she shows it off. She also says the girls were trying not to rip the clothing and the guys had an easier time. Clip of Danielle in DR in new dress showing it off. Roddy is wearing a Speedo cap, holding some curved tube near his head down the front of him and is wearing a ss striped dress shirt and khakis. Here Jason saying “Roddy looks great. He is going for the super dork award.” Lisa in DR saying she got a beautiful brown dress that she knew Amy wanted. She also said Amy will probably put her up for noms because she took that brown dress from her (but is laughing while saying this). Marcellas outside saying thank you.


---------------------------------------------
Roddy Trying to Use His Charm
---------------------------------------------

Roddy and Amy are out in the hammock. Roddy in DR saying he thinks Amy is not sure if she will use the POV. Amy tells Roddy that she can’t save him knowing that he could not do the same for her. Roddy responds, “What do you mean?” Amy in DR says if she took him off the block and he voted for her, he’d be biting the hand that fed him. Back to the hammock conversation. Amy tells Roddy pretty much what she said in DR. Roddy tells her to realize she is upholding an obligation. Roddy talks about that the reason they are on the block is lack of integrity and if he told her something, he would come through with it. Roddy tells Amy that Marcellas put her up, not him, and she is making it easy for Marcellas. Asks her why she would do that with all that Marcellas has done to her. Amy in DR about Roddy “He’s so good.” Roddy tells Amy that he knows she is going to make the best choice she can make. Amy in DR looking close to tears “He makes you want to help him. I’m freaking out.”

-------------------------------------
The Power of Veto Meeting
-------------------------------------

Amy saying it’s time for the POV meeting. Clip of Roddy in DR saying that Amy had made a deal a long time ago to veto him if she held the POV. Clip of Danielle in DR saying she doesn’t know what Amy does sometimes, that you think you have Amy figured out and she turns the other way. Amy says, “As you all know, this is the veto meeting. I won the POV. Roddy and I are nominated this week to be kicked out of the house thanks to our wonderful friend Marcellas and I have the ability to only take one person off the block…” Amy tells Roddy that some of her most wonderful times in the house were with him. Roddy says she will make the right choice, whatever is in her heart. He’ll understand. Roddy says “No problem. Whatever you do.” Amy says she knows about their deal to use the veto to save him, but that she could not sacrifice herself getting nothing in return. She knows he will probably hate her and it hurts her to do it. Amy tells him she is sorry, but she just can’t do it. She puts the veto necklace back in the box saying the nominations will remain the same.

----------------------------
After the POV
----------------------------

Marcellas in DR says he thinks Amy’s reason for not using the veto was “perfect”.

Roddy in DR “Amy’s reasoning was, it wasn’t reasoning at all. What Amy has done is Amy has proven her word is no good.”

Jason in DR “If she used the POV, she had no chance of winning because she would walk out that door.”

Danielle in DR “I think Roddy was shocked. I think, he looked like he got slapped. He was like (made a face).”

Lisa in DR “I do feel kind of as though Amy did the dirty work of the house today and for herself.”

-------------------------------------
Roddy’s Last Stand?
-------------------------------------

Amy and Roddy in chairs in BY.

Roddy: “I don’t hate you at all Amy.”

Amy says she beats herself up too much over things.

Roddy: “I’m not sure that’s exactly it Amy. I think you’ve been quite easy on yourself. It’s easiest to feel guilty. It’s easiest to say that I wish this would go away and to focus on that. The hard part is to do what you said you were going to do and when the decisions are hard to make those choices, not when it’s easy and there is nothing you can do about it. There’s just a part of me that feels like I got [bleeped out] for a lot of the things you told me.” Amy silent in chair, looking upset. Roddy goes on “And its got nothing to do with the game Amy, its got to do with you.

Amy: “I understand everything from your angle Roddy, but there’s no way that you could ever see it from mine.”

Roddy: “Until you give me an alternative way to view it and some information that’s different from what I’ve already gotten, I’m just not entirely satisfied with the way that everything happened.”

Amy: “I know that you’re not satisfied with the way things happened.”

Roddy: “I just mean on both levels Amy, you know on the game thing and the personal thing. I just feel that sometimes kindness can be taken advantage of.”

Amy sighs and says “Ultimately I did what I did for me Roddy.”

Roddy: “Ok. If you did what you did for you Amy then you wouldn’t have done it.”

Amy: “As I said, you could never see it from my angle, but I…”

Roddy: “What information don’t I have? What possible information Amy? You just established that your word is meaningless, that you break promises so why would someone keep a promise to you. Hello.”

Amy says in tearful voice “Yeah, I’m listening.”

Roddy: “Amy I care about you very much.” Roddy then gets up and kisses Amy on the top of her head. Amy starts crying and throws her drink across the patio.

Who will be evicted next from the Big Brother house, Roddy or Amy and who will become the next head of household? Find out live tomorrow night at 8:00, 7:00 central. (Ends showing Amy still in the chair outside sobbing).
