NOMINATIONS AND PHONE HOME OFFER


Big Brother Episode #28 * September 14, 2002



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

Marcellas didn't use the Golden Veto. Voting was a tie and Jason chose to evict Marcellas. Everyone was stunned, but regrouped to play the next HoH Competition. Danielle won HoH by 1 point. Lisa is skeptical over the way everything went down

------------------------------
Phone Home
------------------------------

The HouseGuests are told that they have each won a 3-minute phone call home plus a $1000 gift for a loved one, provided they can find the four cell phones hidden inside the House. After they have each found their phone, Julie calls them one by one to the Diary Room, where she sweetens the deal.

Danielle goes in first and Julie offers her an additional $5000, plus the phone call and the $1000 gift, with the catch that if she accepts the deal, none of the other HouseGuests get their call home or gift. Julie tells Danielle that everyone is getting the same offer, and that if someone else takes it and Danielle doesn't, she gets nothing. Also, if more than one person takes the deal, the winner will be determined by a number printed on the cell phone under a strip of silver tape. Most importantly, Julie assures her that nobody will find out Danielle took the offer unless she tells them herself.

Danielle considers the offer, and thinks that Jason and Lisa wouldn't take it, but thinks that Amy might. Danielle accepts the offer of $5000, the phone call home and the $1000 gift. Amy comes in next and ponders the $5000 offer, thinking that Danielle would be the one to take it. Amy refuses that offer, but then Julie ups the ante to $10,000. Amy accepts that offer, plus the call and the gift. Lisa comes to the Diary Room and refuses both the $5000 and $10,000 offers. Julie offers her $15,000 but Lisa declines that also, saying that she cares too much about the others getting their phone call. Jason is last and also refuses the $5000 and $10,000 offers, but takes the offer of $15,000. Julie tells the HouseGuests, that an offer was accepted. Lisa was upset for thinking that no one would take the money. She says, "I didn't want the $15,000. I wanted to talk to my Dad." When Julie tells them that the winning offer was for $10,000, the HouseGuests figure out by process of elimination that Amy is the one who won the money. Amy goes to the backyard and makes her call, talking to her father, mother and brother. After the Competition, Jason feels a little remorse, saying that he wishes he could have touched base with his family. Lisa continues to be stunned that the others took the offers, saying that she thought the House had a stronger bond.

---------------------------------------
Jason the Slave
---------------------------------------

With Jason the last male HouseGuest remaining, Amy, Lisa and Danielle have turned him into their personal butler, sending him to the kitchen to get them drinks. Jason says he wishes he had another guy to do "manly things" with, like "lift weights or spit." He also looks for a way to escape the constant "girl talk" going on around him.

---------------------------------------
Sponging for Food
---------------------------------------

Danielle tells the group that they have three minutes to change into their bathing suits. In the backyard they find two large blowup pools filled with water and, across the yard, seven smaller, empty pools. They each don oversized "sponge suits," which they soak in the larger pools, then bring the water over to the smaller pools and wring themselves out. For each smaller pool they are able to raise to a predetermined water level, they will receive a catered meal for that day.

As the Competition starts, Lisa's sponge suit starts to rip and her shorts keep threatening to fall down, which gives her some trouble. With five of the seven days accounted for, Amy falls into the Thursday pool and can't get up. (ED this was quite humorous she said "I've fallen and I can't get up") When she gets out of the pool, her sponge has soaked up all the water in the pool and time runs out.

---------------------------------------
Nomination Ceremony
---------------------------------------

The house is in a "somber mood," with only one safe key to be pulled from the box. Lisa says she's nervous now, because her entire strategy went out the door with Marcellas. As she prepares the box, Danielle realizes that the House is like "family," and that every time someone leaves, they take with them something that can't be replaced.

Bringing the group together, Danielle tells them that there is one key in the box, and that one person will get to make the ultimate decision. Jason's key is pulled from the box, putting Lisa and Amy on the block. Danielle tells the nominees that she has delegated the responsibility to Jason and is allowing the "man of the House to make the decision."

After the ceremony, Lisa admits she's nervous, even though she feels she has an "unspoken agreement" with Danielle and Jason. Danielle says that she would prefer Lisa to stay, but if she gets mixed signals from her, Danielle keeps saying we'll see…we'll see.

With Jason having the only vote, how will Amy and Lisa convince him to keep them in the house? There is a special Luxury Competition this week. One houseguest will get to go outside the Big Brother House.
