VETO AND LUXURY


Big Brother Episode #22 * August 28, 2002



---------------------------------------
Previously on Big Brother 3
---------------------------------------

Previously on Big Brother: Chiara is evicted but not everyone is as sad as they seem. Amy tells us "I have to pretend like I care, and I don't". Jason won HOH. Danielle was thrilled. Lisa, Danielle and Marcellas tried to get him to nominate Roddy. Jason talked to Roddy then nominated Gerry and Amy surprising everyone. Danielle was disappointed. Jason feels Roddy is his friend and has looked after him time and time again. Who will win the power of veto? Find out tonight on BB3.

Flashback of Jason's nomination speech telling Gerry he is a threat and Amy was partying in Mexico while they were still in the house.

-------------------------------------
Opening Segment: Day 49
-------------------------------------

Lisa tells Jason she is really proud of him for following himself. Jason said it was because 5 minutes before the live show Roddy said if he got HOH he would take care of Jason. Jason promised to do likewise and felt he should keep his word. He thinks Roddy is the best player. Jason tells us this again in the diary room.

Danielle in the diary room crying "Why Jason? Why?" Cut to Jason talking to her in the HOH room saying he did the math and keeping Roddy in will get them both further than keeping a wild card like Gerry. Back in the DR Jason says "Danielle from the beginning wanted Roddy up on the block. I think she wanted Roddy against Gerry." Cut to Jason telling Danielle he won't let this mess up the game for her. She asks him if Roddy knows about the two of them and he assures her that he does not. Danielle in the DR says if you bring someone in a room and tell them you might nominate them they are going to tell you anything to stay safe. Jason feels if Roddy double-crosses him that the rest of the house would retaliate against Roddy. Danielle asks him to find out if Roddy is going to nominate her. Jason says if he finds out something scandalous is going down he will win veto and put him (Roddy) on the block. Danielle in the DR again says Jason had to do what was in his best interest and with a sigh "What are you gonna do?" Marcellas says "Jason was weak this just shows Jason was incapable of making the tough decisions."

Amy and Lisa at the table outside playing cards. Lisa asks her if she is ok and she assures her she is fine. "I just have faith that school's starting back soon and the state of California needs their school teachers." Shot of Gerry lifting weights. In DR Amy says she feels confident she will not be evicted she tends to know these things. Knew the first time against Lori she would not be evicted and knew the second time that she would be. Lisa says it is great he did not put her up with Marcellas.

Shot of the moon. Roddy and Gerry are outside talking. Gerry says he is enjoying his time here while he can. Gerry in the DR says his family sacrificed a lot for him to be here this summer and he feels like leaving the house now would be letting them down. Roddy in the DR says Gerry is a bright guy and he enjoys playing chess with him. It would be tough for him to go and he really would not like to see him leave. Back outside Roddy says he will snoop around and see if Gerry's going to be leaving. A tearful Gerry says, "I won't give up. I don't want to let my family down."

In the HRD Lisa and Danielle talk. They agree Roddy is dangerous. Danielle is not certain that Jason can believe that Roddy will not go against him. She says that Roddy gets a lot of people to do his dirty work.

Gerry and Roddy are playing chess. In a voice-over Gerry says, "I am somewhat mistrustful of Roddy. It's hard to put my finger on exactly why, maybe because he is intelligent and smart enough to know how to manipulate and at the moment maybe he got the upper hand with Jason.'

Flashback to Roddy and Jason talking in the HOH room. Roddy is telling Jason "When the people come in here to lobby you to do something or not do something obviously they don't want to go, it's in their interest to tell you something like that and make it sound like I stabbed you in the back."

Stuttering Jason starts to answer but Roddy interrupts with "What do you think, J? Don't worry about what the people told you, what do you think?"

Danielle speaking in the DR comments on the situation. "My God Jason run out of there! Because I knew the longer Roddy talked I knew Roddy was able to convince Jason not to nominate him."

Flashback to Roddy being told he is safe at nominations.

Lisa speaking in the DR says, "He's good. He's been up on the chopping block twice. And there has been talk of voting him out but no one ever follows through with it." While Lisa speaks we see flashbacks of Chiara and Josh being told by Julie that they are evicted.

Lisa whispers to Danielle, "How does Roddy get away with it?" "This was our chance," replies Danielle.

-------------------------------------
Oh My! We’ve got Dwarfs!
-------------------------------------

It's time for the POV contest. Amy is outside opening the shades and sees a gnome on the table. "Oh, my God, people, come out here, we have dwarfs."

Jason tells us, "We found gnomes all over the back yard.

Amy reads from a card propped up next to the gnome on the table, "Greeting, houseguests, we have been sent by the international alliance of garden gnomes. Each one of you must adopt one of us and decorate us as your own."

The houseguests run around the yard finding gnomes. Amy finds one with a pig. Marcellas finds one with a bottle of Citrona. He snags the bottle but leaves the gnome on the grass and heads for a different one nearby that has a duck.

Jason asks Amy if she saw the one with the Citrona. They look but the drink has vanished. Amy spies Marcellas trying to sneak past with it and chases him. Laughing he leads her on a chase and then gives it to her.

They all sit at the table and paint the gnomes. Marcellas says, "This one is going to be black. I call him Boo because Boo is like one of the ghetto names, like I love you, Boo. I want to keep my gnome."

Amy looks for the red paint and says, "My gnome needs red lipstick."

Jason narrates, "As the night rolled on, Gerry got up and left. Danielle, Marcellas and I were at the table and the conversation turned from talking about gnomes and painting and goofing around to a little more of the game." Marcellas asks Jason if Gerry has put the bite on him yet. Jason says he expects him to question him about the veto when Danielle points out that Gerry is behind them. They all agree they hope Roddy does not do anything. Jason hopes he or Danielle wins POV and they can decide to use it or not use it depending on what happens in the house.

------------------------------------------
Marcellas: Vanity is thy Name
------------------------------------------

Marcellas in the DR is talking about himself, "I don't think anybody he will in the house has been paid for the way they look. I'm the most beautiful boy in this house." Scenes of Marcellas admiring himself in the mirror and dancing in the shower.

Danielle to Marcellas, "Let me ask you something when you're in the D.R. How many times do you turn to the left?" Marcellas laughs and protests, "I never turn to the left." Marcellas continues to protest while Danielle and Roddy laugh and say roll tape. We see Marcellas turning to the left and saying he's cute, cute, cute, cute, cute.

Now on the exercise machine he says "I'm not the brightest one on face of the earth, trying to pretend like I am I'm just really cute. This is one of my favorite activities on the face of the earth. I love looking at myself. I am never, ever, disappointed. I am a very, very visual person and I like beautiful things."

Marcellas proceeds to discuss his housemates clothing. When he mentions an article of clothing we see that houseguest wearing it and a big red X accompanied with a buzzer sound over what he is talking about.

"Danielle has a black swimsuit that's like a little dress, that's a 60-year-old woman's swimsuit in Boca Raton at the beach. That doesn't work.

If I could burn one piece of Jason's clothes I would burn his
underwear.

Lisa, she has a choker that makes me absolutely positively insane.

Roddy has a pair of pleated khakis that are an abomination. Is this like some 1984 like polo ad?"

Gerry says, "It's fun to watch Marcellas do stylistic stuff to dress everyone. I find it amusing he doesn't touch me." A big X and buzzer on Gerry's entire body appears.

Marcellas continues, "Oh, my god. Gerry is my nightmare. Those big black gym shoes make him look like he has clubfeet. I could help him. You could put something good on him and make it look right."

Amy says, "When he's giving someone fashion advice he's serious."

-------------------------------------------------
Time for Power of Veto Competition
-------------------------------------------------

Jason calls the other outside, "It's time for this week's power of veto competition!" The yard has been decorated with a lot of garden gnomes, plants, flowers, stone benches and a waterfall. The houseguest's gnomes are hanging on strings on a long beam under each person's name. Marcellas leaps and says, "Let's all frolic." He sees his gnome, "I don't like my gnome hanging like that."

Jason reads the instructions; "the name of this veto competition is gnome drop. And whoever wins will have the ability to drop one of the Nominees for eviction use in the coveted power of veto." Shot of gnome holding the POV pendant.

"If you will notice, your gnomes are strung on the cross bar with three lines leading to each. Each line corresponds to the answer of a multiple-choice question about us. Only the correct answer line it attached to the gnome and if that line is cut, the gnome comes crashing to the ground. As will your chance to hold the power of veto."

Marcellas whines, "Murderers. Why do you have to always kill something beautiful and kind?"

Jason continues reading, "If your gnome is dropped, you are out of the running for the power of veto. The person whose gnome is the last one hanging wins the power of veto."

Gerry goes first he wants to eliminate Roddy.

"If Roddy was a car he would be a:
A: Range Rover
B: Porsche
C: Saab

Gerry chooses A and the gnome falls but does not break.

Roddy heads to the gnomes saying, "I'm going to break something
beautiful. Marcellas is distraught. Roddy says that he does not want him to get POV because he will spring Amy and Roddy may get put up.

"Marcellas pampers himself by:
A: cleaning his apartment
B: going to the dentist
C: goes out to dinner"

Roddy guesses "A" which is incorrect.

Marcellas goes after Jason's gnome.

"If Jason could hold any political office, he would be:
A: the mayor of Mobil, Alabama,
B: the surgeon general, or,
C,...Hail to the chief... The president of the U.S.

He guesses "B" which is wrong.


Jason's turn, "Gerry met his wife...
A: On a nude beach.
B: In a bar,
C: At the school where he teaches.

He chose C, which was wrong.

Gerry reads, "Amy, says her destiny is:

A: A wealthy husband...
B: Social worker.
C: Stardom."

He chooses "A" which is incorrect.

Amy takes her turn, "The job Lisa would like to
do the least:
A: drive a bus,
B: clean cages at the zoo or
C: deliver mail,

She guesses B and the gnome crashes into a million pieces.

Lisa goes after Amy's gnome, "Amy says her destiny is,
A: wealthy husband,
B: social work or
C: stardom.
Amy so obvious Amy right now is all about stardom all about
looking glamorous for the camera."

The gnome breaks.

Amy says, "Let's go with Gerry. Gerry met his wife at a nude
beach... I guess nude beach with Gerry because that was in my
opinion the most embarrassing answer I didn't know it was correct."

Gerry guesses Jason would be the mayor of Mobil, Alabama. But it is wrong.

Jason tries to eliminate Danielle, "If Danielle could be anyone
for one day she would be:
A: King Solomon
B: Billy blanks
C: Ghandi?
Knowing Danielle and knowing how she beats the snot out of us
in abs class I think it would be be Billy Blanks." The answer is incorrect.

Danielle goes after Marcellas gnome. She guesses that he bleaches his teeth and Boo falls but survives. Marcellas says, "He is perfect like me. Honestly I warranted Jason to win the power of veto because I wanted his nominations to stand so I went after Danielle. Danielle could be anyone for one day... Ghandi would have never sacrificed something so lovely. He cuts the string and the gnome crashes. Jason wins POV! Marcellas has Boo present Jason with the medallion.

Gerry says he wants Jason to put him up against Roddy and save Amy. Danielle is happy Jason won. Jason tells her he will put Roddy up if he finds out Roddy is stabbing him in the back.

-------------------------------------
The Personality of a Gnome
-------------------------------------

Marcellas walks around the back yard holding Boo. "I want to introduce you guys to the new man in my life, Boo. Boo is black. Boo is me at 70. Danielle you tried to kill something lovely. I definitely think it was divine intervention that boo survived his fall. He made it. Boo lives. I got to put him someplace safe. I don't want you to be lonely. So boo won't be lonely I put him next to Jason's gnome. Everyone likes to sort of hang out with their own but I won't let my gnome hang out with
Roddy's gnome because Roddy's gnome looks like it's on crack
or something."

Roddy looks at his gnome, "I wasn't aware of my gnome's drug problem."

Marcellas continues, "Roddy's gnome is Boo's bad cousin.”

Roddy says, "They grew up as best friends and before went off to lead a life of crime."

Marcellas says, "Roddy's gnome is the gnome that comes to your house and steals your television.”

Roddy says "He had a troubled past and I'm doing my best to help him. We'll see how loyal my gnome is and his gnome. They're in the honeymoon stage. That gnome will be gone one morning. That gnome will turn over and he won't even be left with a note or rose. I think that gnome will break his heart."

---------------------------------------------------------------------
America’s Choice Revealed: Videotape From Home
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Danielle is missing her family and talking to Lisa and Roddy about it. She wants to get something from home. She cries in the DR because she is the only one that has not received anything from home. Lisa and Roddy try to cheer her up by reminding her that her family can see her on the internet.

The houseguests eat donuts and Coolatas in this week's commercial moment to thank the sponsor Dunkin Donuts.

The houseguests gather to see the America's choice question on the plasma screen. Which guest would you like to see get a video greeting from home. There is a general consensus that they would like Danielle to win but feel that because they made a big deal about Gerry's anniversary he will most likely get it.

-------------------------------------
Men and Spiders
-------------------------------------

Amy lies on the hammock sharing a cigar with Roddy "What do men and spiders have in common, venom?"

Roddy says, "They both spin a web that easily falls apart."

Amy agrees, "And also spin a web that easily catches things."

Amy tells us that there is a fear throughout the house of Roddy and that nobody trusts him. Marcellas comments on how he is able to get people to do what he wants after talking to them and compares him to David Koresh. Lisa does not trust the way Roddy makes his sentences appear. She thinks keeping him in the house is scary and not the way the game should be going. Danielle calls him the devil and says he can talk you into giving up your firstborn and you don't know why.

---------------------------------------------
The Gnome “Game” Continues
---------------------------------------------

Back to the gnomes. Roddy is chasing Marcellas with his gnome. The gnome appears in Marcellas bed with blood on it. Everyone is laughing and pretending to be scared. Marcellas says, "I think Roddy has gone insane now his gnome is on the loose. Nobody knows where it is I'm
sure it will turn up in the shower or something or within staring up at my from the toilet when I go in."

-------------------------------------
Amy is Just Looking For Love
-------------------------------------

Amy is sad. She can make everyone laugh but she wants someone special in her life. Instead she is the lone funny girl. "I've accepted it's my destiny to live in a big house with Bucky and the little kids that throws rocks and that's the witch that lives in the house and the mean dog that bites you. That's sad for me."

Amy and Lisa talk about not finding dates. Lisa thinks it was cute to see this side of Amy wanting to find the person that gives her one kiss that makes her heart glow. Amy feels she has grown in the house and hopes to use that experience in everyday life outside the house.

-------------------------------------------
Results of America’s Choice
-------------------------------------------

Jason calls everyone to the living room to find out who won America's Choice. Gerry tells us he wants to win it. Danielle doesn't want to look at the screen and see that she did not win.

Danielle wins. She cries as she watches a greeting from her mom, dad and brother. They tell her how proud they are of her and the best news that her mom does not have MS. Next her husband and kids tell her they are doing fine. The girls are learning the clarinet in the school band and Javier has a "Cooking for Dummies" book that makes Danielle shriek with laughter. He has written a touching letter to her as well telling her how being away from her has made him appreciate her more and see their relationship in a whole new light. Danielle thanks America and says the letter gave her the strength to finish the game.

-------------------------------------
Will Jason Use the POV?
-------------------------------------

Jason and Roddy talk in the HOH room. Jason wants to find out if he plans to go after Danielle. He may use the POV if this is the case. Roddy tells him that "Almost every single person in the house has mentioned to me a certain person here is really worried about me doing well. I actually confronted the person and completely denied it 100%."

We see a clip of Roddy talking to Danielle asking her if she wants him out of the house and she says "not true."

Jason is afraid Roddy is after Danielle and is going to toss and turn all night deciding what to do. Roddy has mentioned there is someone getting everyone to do their dirty work and he wants them out of the house but he did not mention any names. Jason tells him he makes people uncomfortable because he is so smart.

Gerry tells Danielle he is reluctant to leave. Danielle tells him he knows who has the power and suggests he go have a talk with him. Gerry talks to Jason outside in the papasan chairs. He tells him had he won POV he would have saved Amy. Jason says "Oh wow good game!" HE suggests that Jason could do something "real interesting" and veto Amy and put two strategic players up. Jason says he considered it. Gerry says one of his goals was to make the final four and if he survives he will not come after him.

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

It is time for the veto meeting. Roddy is worried. Danielle wants Roddy out of the house.

Amy is given the chance to say why she wants to stay. "Well, sugar you know no matter what you do I'll still love you so you make whatever decision you deem fit.


Gerry says "Jason you have to do what's best for you and the game and I would love to stay and I would love for you to pull me off but if you don't I understand and support you."

Jason thanks them and says, "It is a tough decision to come to, especially being in this position for the first time in the game holding the power of veto and head of household. I've been very torn about what to do and I would love to save both of you guys and the problem is, there is no one else to put in to substitute, unfortunately. So I have decided just based on just this unique position as head of household and power of veto holder not to use the power of veto. Guys, this meeting is adjourned.

Whether Amy or Gerry walk out of this house, I feel like that was what needed to be done."

Both Amy and Gerry tell Jason it's ok and hug him.

Marcellas says, "I think the next head of household is shaping up to be an important battle. We have been leading up to all these weeks is sort of a clash of Titans, a battle royal in this weird way, between Roddy and Danielle. If Roddy were to get head of household he may put Danielle up. If Danielle gets head of household she may put Roddy up. I think we can definitely say that's how it's going to happen."

Lisa says, "I really want Danielle to get it this week. I think with her up there I'm safe and she'll get the job done."

Marcellas says, "Whoever gets head of household is who I'm going to the end game with."

Who will be evicted next from the Big Brother house, Gerry or Amy and who will become the next head of household? Find out live tomorrow night at 8:00, 7...8:00, 7:00 central.
