She gets hugs from everyone as she prepares to leave and cheerily says, “Bye everyone!” as she leaves the house. Marcellas says in DR, “Lori’s departure, was, really hard for me. Shows Lori leaving house, Roddy closing the door, looking at the group, grimacing, says “Oh my god. Awful.” Someone echoes the word “awful”. Danielle in DR, “Someone has to go. I’m just thinking, god, I’m glad it’s not me.” Chiara in DR, “The game had officially started. One person’s gone.” Screen shows “DAY 13” ------------------------------------------ Amy is Not Evicted ------------------------------------------ Now everyone hugging Amy because she was not the one evicted. Amy in DR, “The vote definitely scared me. I was completely confident up until Julie came back on and said it was close.” Marcellas in DR, “The vote, to keep Amy, was really a struggle. And then for it to come down 5 to 4, it’s like well if I had gone the other way, and there was a moment where I thought I SHOULD go the other way, she would still be here.” Marcellas to Roddy on patio, “It’s dramatic. I was really sad when Lori left. Roddy to Marcellas, “But you know why I voted Lori out, is that, Lori was great one day, and the next day you didn’t know what she was thinking, so it’s just tough to depend on someone like that.” Roddy in DR, “ She had to go. She didn’t really have much support. I’m surprised that the vote was, well, so close at all.” ------------------------------------------ The Mystery Vote for Amy ------------------------------------------ Tonya, Chiara and Marcellas were totally and completely blown away by the vote. Marcellas didn’t think the vote would be so close. Tonya says, “we thought we had it all, mapped out.” - concerned about who broke the six-pack alliance (Tonya, Chiara, Lisa, Eric, Roddy, Josh) vote against Lori. Tonya says Amy knows who three of the votes are, Chiara says she knows three too. Tonya wants to know who are the three. Shows Gerry, Danielle, and Jason in DR voting for Amy. Chiara says it is scary, because someone in the “group” (meaning the alliance) has gone back on their word and voted for Amy instead of Lori. Shows Amy and Marcellas walking on patio, Marcellas’ arm around Amy she asks if he voted for her and he tells her, “you know I didn’t”. As they are walking in the house Amy points at Jason and says, “I know HE did, I know three, but I don’t know the fourth.” Amy in DR doesn’t know who fourth person is, says it freaks her out knowing someone in the House voted for her and won’t admit to it. Chiara talks to Roddy in bathroom, Roddy confirms he voted for Lori, says he was the deciding vote. They agree someone went against the agreed vote for Lori, but they don’t know who it was. Roddy in DR says in trying to put together who voted for Amy, there is still a vote missing and no one can figure out where it came from. Switch to patio, where Amy is talking to group, saying she knows three of the votes, has thought about it, and can’t figure out the fourth. Shows Josh sitting next to Tonya and not saying a word. Finally, shows Josh in DR, voting for Amy, and is revealed to us (not to the HG’s) as the fourth vote. Josh in DR, “I had to vote Amy out. I mean I swore to Lori that I wasn’t votin’ her out. I wasn’t going to be just like, BEEP, vote her out. And I never agreed to not vote out Amy. So I know I did what I had to do.” Switch to scene of Josh sitting alone on green chair in bathroom… lingers on shot. ------------------------------------------ Marcellas as Head of Household ------------------------------------------ Scene of Josh suggesting that group should concentrate on “getting Marcellas out”. Switch to Lisa nominating Marcellas for eviction. Switch to Gerry vetoing Marcellas’ nomination. Marcellas in DR grinning and saying “And now, the tide has turned. And now, I’m head of household.” Scene of Marcellas winning HOH comp. Danielle in DR asking, “Is this the biggest comeback in Big Brother history, or what?” Everyone congratulating Marcellas. In kitchen, Marcellas says, “When Lori was like, walking out the door, I was like, that should have been me.” Someone says he has gone from the outhouse to the penthouse, and Marcellas repeats the phrase. Scene of Marcellas entering the HOH room, with Amy and other HG’s behind him, checking out the treats he has ben given like slippers. Amy in DR saying she is proud of Marcellas, he is completely the comeback kid. Marcellas saying he is “this crazy huge raw almond boy”, shaking a bag of raw almonds calling them an amazing source of protein. Amy is really happy he got HOH and hugs him. Amy says she loves Marcellas and feels safe with him. ------------------------------------------ Who Will Marcellas Nominate? ------------------------------------------ Danielle joins Amy and Marcellas in HOH room, and ask who he plans to nominate. Marcellas asks them to spread the word that he doesn’t want anyone else asking him who he will nominate. In DR he says he does not want anyone else “working their agenda”. The only agenda he wants worked is his own. At dining room table he tells Jason and Gerry that the decision will be his own, and no one will know until it hits the table what he is thinking and why. Jason tells him earnestly “good for you”. Chiara in DR says, “He’s really really pushing us all away as far as asking any questions, and I have no idea how he’s gonna handle this.” Marcellas in DR, “If someone broaches that subject with me, I may give them a warning, but it may actually put their heads on the block.” Eric says that Marcellas is a “wild card”, doesn’t know where he’s coming from, and can’t read him. Eric wants Marcellas out of the game because this worries him. Marcellas in DR, “Everyone in the House, right now, should worry.” Lori in DR says nervously laughing, “I was the first one to put him up for nomination, of course I’m going to have that little fear that Marcellas is gonna put me up.” Josh tells Danielle that until Marcellas leaves the house and sees what really went down, there is nothing Josh can say to Marcellas. Danielle in DR says Josh is “about to pee in his pants”. Josh, “There is nothing I can say to him. I can’t guarantee him anything”. Danielle to Josh with a grin, “Can you…. or can’t you?” Josh in DR says that when Marcellas became HOH his first thought was that he should pack his bags. Marcellas in DR says that Josh SHOULD be worried, and is not a nice person. Josh to Marcellas in bathroom says even if on the first night he knew that Marcellas would be HOH the second week, he would not change anything. ------------------------------------------ Thoughts on Gerry ------------------------------------------ Marcellas says he has no allegiance to any one person in the house, because everyone has lied to him. Danielle to Marcellas says they can’t trust Gerry because he lies. Marcellas says he know it, that Gerry uses manipulation, and hopes everyone sees that he sees it, and hopes that Gerry sees that he sees it, but it’s fine if Gerry doesn’t. Switch to Gerry in DR who says that he feels very comfortable with Marcellas as HOH. Gerry feels he has made a friend for life in Marcellas, and that they will watch each others’ backs until the end. Josh in DR says the “alliance” has been broken up by Gerry, so “all bets are off”. Eric in DR says that Gerry is trying to relate to everyone, and in doing so is feeding everyone “all these other lines of crap”. Eric in living room to Josh, Danielle, Lisa says Gerry is telling people what they want to hear to “be cool with us”. Eric in DR lists Gerry trying to relate to “homosexuals”, “blacks”, “Jews”, “and now virgins”; Gerry to Marcellas “…because me of all people should have known you were queenin’ out…”; Gerry to group “…black is beautiful hadn’t happened…” Gerry to Marcellas “…if people stand up, for people like you, in this, Jews never Would have been put in the ovens…” Group in bedroom talking about Gerry being a virgin when he got married. Josh says, “you know Danielle, you give him twenty minutes, in the 70’s he was a black woman.” Eric in DR, “I think he’s going about it the wrong way trying extra extra hard to get in on everybody’s good side.” Marcellas says to Amy on basketball court that Gerry is coming outside, try to be nice, Amy says jokingly, “again!”. Amy in DR, “If Gerry’s nominated he’s out. He has no support.” Amy to Marcellas in HOH room says Gerry is getting on her nerves. Amy in DR says if Gerry slides by this week, he’s out next week. Lisa to living room group says it’s the “generation gap”, Josh nods his head in agreement. Eric points out that when they first arrived, Gerry tried to play “the Dad”. Scene of Gerry in kitchen with Lisa saying he heard “you kids” stayed up all night, then wags his finger and looks disapprovingly at Lisa. Eric mentions the joke Gerry had with Chiara and him about them being his kids, and that Gerry tried to take on all the responsibilities of the House. Lisa in DR, “We are ignoring him. And we are making him feel, like he doesn’t exist because he basically threw out his word and he‘s not to be trusted.” Eric to living room group, says that Gerry may do some damage, but that there’s no way a guy like him can win the game. Eric in DR, “He’s definitely on life support, I don’t think he’s gone be makin’, makin’ it too much further”, as scene shows Gerry putting on his sleep apnea mask, and laying down on his back in bed in the nightcam. Commercial ------------------------------------------ Gerry’s Sleep Apnea ------------------------------------------ Gerry explains sleep apnea means he will “literally stop breathing up to 200 times a night”, showing Gerry on nightcam getting into bed and putting his breathing mask on. He explains how the machine helps him breathe. Switch scene to group in hot tub, who listen as Josh mocks Gerry’s very loud snoring without the machine. Eric in DR explains that the device definitely keeps Gerry from snoring for the most part, but there have been times he has fallen asleep in the House without it, and they show Gerry asleep with his head thrown back without the mask and very loudly snoring. Eric explains that Gerry snores instantly upon falling asleep, looks like a fighter pilot. Amy in DR says “Yes, I’ve seen the Darth Vader mask, as we all call it”, and Tonya in DR says laughing, “Um Gerry’s sleeping apparatus it’s very loud”. Gerry shows the machine to Amy and says, “the loudest my machine gets is this”, and turns it on, Amy saying, “Oh. OK”, the machine not sounding very loud at all. Jason in DR says, “It does make some noise at night, but I am, I am a heavy sleeper…”, Tonya in DR again laughing saying , “They don’t think that it helps with the snoring very much”, and last scene shows Gerry in bed in nightcam with breathing mask on, and he is snoring loudly. ------------------------------------------ Swimsuit Contest ------------------------------------------ Tonya walks out of bathroom wearing a light blue bikini, as she explains in DR, “It was my idea to have a bikini contest,” switch to Amy all excited then Tonya says, “Then Amy decided to make it a pageant”. Amy telling Tonya, Chiara and Lisa, they should all come outside and see where they will draw contestant numbers, explaining in DR, “Considering my pageant history, I’ve elected myself pageant director and emcee”. Amy enters bedroom tells the three, “Sorry, I just wanted to check out y’all’s swimsuits, see how they’re coming along.” Tonya in DR, “Nobody was allowed to use any type of material.” Showing the three sewing and working on their swimsuits, and Tonya holding up the swimsuit she is making says, “Look at these bottoms. My mom’s gonna die.” Eric in DR, “Of course the women were getting’ on top of us to get our costumes ready, and we were just like, uh yeah, we got it.” Eric and Roddy in living room playing chess as Eric assures Amy they are participating, but don’t need as much time to get ready as the “girls”, that they’ve got it all planned out, and Amy acting skeptical, says if they need any glitter just let her know, as Eric looks completely disinterested. Marcellas in DR says that he was not interested in the whole thing, but then “cute little Jason” asked Marcellas to make his swimsuit, and Marcellas decided he could do it. Scene of Marcellas working with Jason as Amy looks on, using some straw and talking about putting a lei between layers. Scene of the three women working on their suits, Tonya (I think) saying, “OK, we have to figure out boobs”, as Lisa in DR explains, “We made the cutest little outfits could be took probably a good three to four hours”, as Tonya complains, “these are so not covering my chee-chee (sp)”. Lisa in DR continues that they went to put the suits on and they all broke, and Tonya in DR says, “so we just improvised”. Tiki music plays as they show the women undressing and Tonya in DR explains they used peanut butter, and Lisa in DR says they took flowers and spread peanut butter to cover certain parts and used the flowers to cover, making their swimsuits, showing smearing of peanut butter and lots of laughing as Lisa says they had a lot of fun spreading peanut butter on themselves. Switch to beginning of contest in backyard, spectators lined up against the House watching and cheering as Amy emcees. Amy announces, “The First Annual Big Brother Three Mr. and Ms. Pageant”. Gerry in DR explains that Amy was definitely in her own element, that if any woman was born to be a pageant host it was her, she was just “flat out hoot”. Amy calls the three woman out and they leave the house entering the backyard in their peanut butter and purple flower bikinis, Josh announcing “I am so hungry”, and lots of whooping and hollering. Tonya in DR says they had a good time, were completely covered, and “what are they gonna see, the cheeks of our butt?”. The women show off their bikinis as spectators and Amy look on. Eric in DR says, “Our eyes widened a bit, because there wasn’t much of them that was covered.” More showing off bikinis. Scene of Jason looking uncomfortable, and then Jason in DR still sounding uncomfortable says, “It was a good laugh, but I squirmed a little bit, I was pretty uncomfortable. I would have liked to have seen ‘em wearing a little bit more than the peanut butter. Certainly.” Roddy watching. Tonya in DR says that Lisa’s peanut butter started to fall off, and Lisa in DR says they had to run inside real quick, that the peanut butter was melting and dripping, and they show the women trying to cover up certain parts and slip back inside the House. Lisa in DR says then it was the guys’ turn. Roddy and Eric in bedroom putting on their suits, Eric giggles, then worrying, says “this is so not going to stay on”. Roddy says he needs more lettuce, then showing Jason and Gerry in their suits, waiting for the others to get ready, someone says “this is really ridiculous you guys”. Amy outside, announces, “The event we’ve all been waiting for, The Mr. Big Brother Three Pageant”. Lisa in DR explains, “Josh I don’t think he had anything on. Jason, he wrapped himself up in a beautiful array of straw”, describing Jason’s straw and many-colored lei swimsuit that he parades around as the spectators clap. Lisa continues, “Gerry, wrapped himself up in…..paper towels, as Gerry in DR explains he was trying to make a sumo wrestler diaper as he struts around like a sumo wrestler. Lisa in DR, “Eric, I believe he was a tossed salad”, showing Eric in his swimsuit made out of many-vegetables swimsuit, and “The best part was Roddy. When he came out in a robe, we all thought it was just the robe. We didn’t think he had anything underneath it.” Roddy walks out in a white terrycloth robe, takes it off, and reveals his suit, which is a photo of Marcellas in a wooden picture frame held in front of Roddy’s crotch with some string wrapped around Roddy’s waist…and nothing else. Marcellas laughs sheepishly, looking slightly embarrassed, as everyone whoops and claps enjoying themselves thoroughly. Gerry in DR says that the beauty pageant was a much needed break from strategizing, and all the plotting and planning, the outfall of all the plotting and planning, as Roddy puts his robe back on and walks into the House. Amy says after everyone went in the House, got cleaned up, and came back out, she crowned Roddy and Chiara “Mr. and Ms. Big Brother”, as Amy crowns Chiara, and the men all hug Roddy. ------------------------------------------ Chiara and Roddy ------------------------------------------ Chiara and Roddy are in the hammock, crowned as Mr. and Ms. Big Brother, Amy’s voice telling them to “get the wave right”, as they wave at her, and romantic music is playing in the background. Soft conversation between Chiara and Roddy as they rock in the hammock. Roddy – “Do you like Korean food?” Chiara – “Um hm” Roddy – “I really like Korean food. Want to get some delivered?” Chiara – “Can we go to the movies together” giggling. Roddy – “Let’s go” Chiara – “Are you gonna cheat on me in here, I just wanna know right now.” Roddy – “Uh huh” Chiara – “With who? Make it good.” More giggling. Roddy – “Yeah, right.” Chiara – “Like, I wonder if my mom’s like, yeah good.” Roddy – “He’s a catch. He’s a catch.” Chiara – Giggling, and imitating a fish hook with her finger in her mouth, and then laughing. Roddy in DR, “I’ve got a little crush on Chiara. How could you not. She’s a ton of laughs, and I really like her. She’s great.” They snuggle in the hammock. Switch scene to outside the bedroom door. Chiara is standing at the door, and Roddy gestures at the door, asks, “sleeping over?” He opens the door for her and they both enter. The door closes. Now inside the bedroom in nightcam, Roddy and Chiara hug. They both slip into bed together, under the covers, snuggling up to one another. Nightcam shows beds, they are whispering, subtitles shown on the screen. Chiara – “Do you think I only like you because I’m in this house?” Nightcam showing only Roddy and Chiara’s bed. Chiara – “I mean in the real world you couldn’t see dating me? You wouldn’t? Roddy – “No, I would definitely. That first night, I kind of liked holding you and you were awesome, and I didn’t know if you felt the same way. And then I was dying to get you back here at night ‘cuz I knew that I didn’t like sharing your attention with anyone else. I don’t think you realize that when you’re talking, I’m listening.” Roddy in DR – “You just, you feel good having a place to express yourself in an environment where it’s very difficult to have some confidentiality” Chiara –“It’s been a really, really long time since I’ve had that, like, rapport.” Chiara rubs Roddy’s arm. “I trust you.” Chiara in DR – “I think that Roddy and I, totally have like this special bond, and you know we’re totally gonna take care of each other, and I really think that’s gonna happen. It’s so crazy, it really changes day to day.” Roddy – “If you and I date, I’m gonna be the biggest control freak.” Chiara – “I love it.” Roddy – “When you meet my parents, let’s talk about some things we have to go over. OK, like…” Chiara – “I can’t wait!” Roddy – “Yeah. Do not tell them you’re Italian. You have to make something up. And you’re from Denmark. Don’t ask. My story.” Chiara – “So, how badly do you want to kiss me?” Roddy – “Not at all.” He kisses her softly. Chiara – “Thank you” she says tenderly. Chiara – “This is going to be a very, very healthy relationship.” Roddy – “Yes, I agree.” They are laying in bed in nightcam, Roddy kisses her shoulder, romantic music plays out, fade to black. Commercial ------------------------------------------------------- Food Competition – The Brownie House ------------------------------------------------------- Marcellas explains in DR, as HG’s are shown gathered in living room, “For today’s Food Competition, the teams were chosen through the use of ping pong balls. Each HG selected ping pong balls from the red bag. Danielle and Roddy drew the red and blue ping pong balls which made them Team Captains. They then chose who would be on each team.” Switch to backyard as HG’s exit house, showing a large house built out of brownies and other edible sweets, setting on a table, such that the HG’s mouths are about the height of the top of its roof. On a second shelf underneath the house are sets of milk cartons and water bottles, one of each for each of the 10 HG’s competing (Marcellas is exempted as HOH). Marcellas, “Much of what goes on in the Big Brother House revolves around food. Take a good look, you will have exactly 15 minutes to consume as much of the Brownie House as possible. The team who has collectively gained the most weight will be rewarded with food for the week. The losing team will be eating peanut butter and jelly for 7 days. Chiara in DR – “When I saw the scale, I really did not want to be weighed on national television.” Marcellas says, “Let’s do the initial weigh in.” Each HG is weighed by Marcellas and the weights recorded on a board for each member and each team. Red Team Amy – 117.4 (who complains she has never weighed over 115) Lisa – 129 Josh – 157.8 Roddy – 187.8 Jason – 173 Blue Team Eric – 198 Tonya – 120.4 Gerry – 252.2 Chiara – 132.6 Danielle – 137.6 Amy in DR gloats that she weighs less than everyone, and that makes her very happy. Marcellas gathers everyone around the Brownie House. He explains they each have a container of milk, and a container of water. They each may consume as much of either beverage as they like. Then he makes the game more interesting, and ties their hands behind their backs. Josh in DR says he was a little worried because the Blue Team had “Eric the monster on one team plus that fat Gerry”. Marcellas announces bon apetit, and the contest begins. With their hands ties behind their backs, HG’s start eating as much of the Brownie House as they can. Remnants of the House fall to the ground, a big chunk of the roof falls, big pieces get on their clothes, there is a big glob of brownies on Gerry’s bald head. Josh in DR explains that Roddy told them to drink as much of the fluid as possible, it’s so much heavier, that if they just keep “pounding the water and play it off” then for sure they’d begin. Marcellas cheers them on. Jason explains in DR that he wanted to LOOK like he was eating as much as possible so he was “constantly shoving his face in things”. Marcellas asks them to save “some of that thing” for him. He tells them, “eat, eat, eat, eat, eat…” Eric kisses Tonya, both of their mouths full of food. Jason in DR says that at the seven minute mark, some of the people started looking a little green, a little nauseous. Shows Amy looking stuffed. Gerry in DR says he saw Josh use his hands, stuff in his pants, scene shows Josh putting food down his pants. Gerry says at one point he saw Danielle and she had her mouth full and she was getting queasy, he looked at Tonya and she had dropped to her knees, scene shows both. That’s when the Red Team “went in for the kill”, and started drinking ALL the fluids, shows Josh sucking down someone else’s water. Tonya says of Jason, “He’s drinking Kiki’s water (Lisa)”. Jason in DR – “I polished off MY water, some of my milk, and all of Kiki’s water.” Marcellas announces two more minutes and most everyone is looking a bit disgusted or sick, like they don’t want to eat another bite. Marcellas announces one more minute. Jason in DR says, “every single person looked like they were ready to just blow chunks all over the place”. Marcellas counts down from 10 to zero. “Beautiful everyone”. Marcellas weighs everyone again. Roddy gained 3 Lisa gained 3.4 Marcellas says “Don’t let that happen again.” Jason – 5.2 Josh – 4.2 Amy 2.6 Total gain for Red Team 18.4 lbs Danielle (looking sick) – 2.4 Tonya – 2.4 Eric (looking sick) 4 Chiara – 2.6 Gerry – 2.4 Total gain for Blue Team 13.8 lbs Marcellas – “The winner of “Architectural Digestion” is the Red Team!” Red Team cheers, Blue team looks sick and disgusted. “And this week’s MVP – Jason!” Jason in DR – “I was very excited to have been the one that gained the most weight.” Marcellas – “Jason is the Evander Holyfield of the House” Danielle and Marcellas on patio, Gerry nearby, Danielle tells Marcellas, “I’ve gotta eat PB&J for a whole friggin week.” Marcellas – “I know you don’t like that” Danielle – “I don’t like it. I’m gonna lose so much weight.” Jason in DR explains that about 5 minutes after the Red Team thought they won, they heard Big Brother’s voice who told them Josh had been disqualified because he had used his hands and put food in his pockets. But after Josh was disqualified, and they deducted his weight gain, the Red Team had STILL won. “Sweet victory for the Red Team”. Gerry in DR says if his students are watching he hopes this is a lesson they learn, that if you play the game fair, then victory is sweet. If you cheat, “what profit to the man, to gain the world to lose a soul”. (or something like that) Marcellas to Danielle on lawn chairs – “It’s always made me upset, when I’ve seen people get ahead because of their avarice, and their greed and their meanness. And when I see somebody who is dishonorable like that, it just really, it offends me. I just hate him.” Marcellas in DR – “Because I think he’s just the vilest human being ever.” During this time Danielle is looking away from Marcellas, with a vacant stare. Then she looks right at him as he says, “When are nominations? That’s all I care about now.” Shows Marcellas walking into House. “I’m going to lay down. I’m exhausted.” Marcellas goes into the House picks up some items in living room and heads for the HOH room. As he walks through, the plasma screen catches his eye, and he reads it as it says, Big Brother 3, Attention House Guests, Nominations will be this evening. Marcellas nods his head and walks to HOH room. ------------------------------------------ Josh Pleads His Case ------------------------------------------ Amy in DR explains she was in HOH room with Marcellas, switch to Amy on HOH bed with Marcellas, Josh is at the door. Amy explains, “Josh came in, and I’ve never seen him so serious, and he just begged for his life.” Marcellas lets him in. Josh – “I spent a lot of time lost night, thinkin’ about things, whatever. This is pretty much exactly where I stand.” Josh in DR – “I proposed two things to Marcellas” As Marcellas and Amy listen, expressionless. Josh – “One. I still do realize that, I probably deserve to be nominated. Totally understood. And I’m not going to try to tell you who Gerry is. Anyone in this house is smart enough to realize exactly who he is and what his true colors are. Knowing what an anti-Semitic, prejudiced, racist he truly is, that if his conniving backstabbing would actually somehow benefit him, would really honestly affect me outside of this house, to a point where I don’t know what I would do.” Amy in DR –“And I thought he would cry, I’ve never seen Josh so serious.” Josh – “Like in my heart, I truly feel that both of us should be up for nomination, and let the cards fall if they may.” Josh in DR – “And I tried to really point that out, and say look, put him against me, and we’ll see where the chips fall.” Marcellas – “From what you just said and how you said it I feel your pain and I know exactly where you are, and if it makes you feel better I just want you to know he’s not fooling me. So, don’t think that he’s pulling the wool over my eyes, because he isn’t.” Josh – “Oh I never thought he was.” Josh in DR – “So then my second little tidbit is I tried to provide the only bit of barter I could use in the House.” Josh – “If it came down to me and Gerry being nominated, if I do survive this week, at this point I give you a personal guarantee that I would never nominate you, and I would never ever vote to evict you out of the House, even if it would cost me down the line. That’s the promise that I make. Josh in DR – “And I, I believe my word does carry a lot of weight in this house to people.” Josh – “That’s the only thing, the only thing I have.” Marcellas and Josh thank each other, and Josh leaves HOH room. Josh in DR – “I may have gained respect from Marcellas.” Marcellas to Amy – “That was brilliant. Amy answers, “Yeah”. Marcellas in DR – “He made his pitch, and I’m happy that he came to me. In a way, it would be smart to keep Josh, since everybody hates Josh.” Shows Josh walking away from HOH room. Commercial ------------------------------------------ Amy and Marcellas ------------------------------------------ Scene shows Amy and Marcellas doing a little dance on the basketball court. Jason in DR – “One thing that’s been very, uh, interesting, and I think, very cool to me, is to see this relationship between Amy and Marcellas develop. Marcellas in DR – I don’t think there was a particular moment that I can remember that Amy and I sort of clicked. One day we just started laughing.” Shows Amy and Marcellas in hammock together. “That is what really sort of brought us together.” Group in living room, Amy and Marcellas bantering. Lisa in DR – “Sometimes opposites attract. It just works. They’re both princesses, and they both, you know, can share beauty secrets.” Marcellas in shower, talking to Amy in bathroom about her nails, and he needs the scrub. Amy in DR – “Marcellas and I are great friends. We’re both kind of snooty.” Discussing clothes in dining room. Gossiping on patio. Dishing. Laughing. Agreeing that Eric is not attractive. Then Marcellas says, “but Roddy”, and giggles, huge grin on his face and joins hands with Amy as she laughs too. Marcellas in DR says they would never have met outside the House. Marcellas wonders jokingly if Amy is really black. They relate on so many levels. Amy says Marcellas is probably her best friend in the house. Marcellas cannot imagine being in the house without her, says there has not been anyone who has been as “real” with him there. ------------------------------------------ Josh and Danielle Clash ------------------------------------------ Danielle and Jason are in green chairs playing cards. Josh is looking into pore cam. As Roddy walks away, Josh says to Danielle, “the type of person you would pick to align with, shocks me”. Danielle - “Who am I aligning with?” Josh – “With Gerry.” As Gerry is shown on screen. Danielle – “How am I aligning with Gerry?” Josh – “Clearly you are.” Danielle – “How clearly?” Josh – “Everyone was asked, face to face.” Danielle – “You think you know, but you don’t know.” Josh – “Oh I know.” Danielle – “I don’t think you do.” Josh – “I’m asking you flat out. Danielle – “Josh. Don’t go with me. There. Let it go.” Josh – “But you denied it.” Danielle – “I did not deny anything.” Josh – “You tried to skirt around the subject.” Danielle – “I AM skirting around the subject.” Josh – “Clearly.” Danielle – “Because I do not want to go there with you.” Josh – “Then that’s a better thing to say cause that’s more your style.” Danielle – “I’m not going there.” Josh – “OK, that’s more your style.” Danielle – “Thank you.” As Josh walks out of the room leaving Danielle and Jason playing cards, he says, “the writing’s on the wall.” Josh in DR – “Me and Danielle had it out, I’m in shock, that Danielle has aligned with Gerry. And for the first time, you know, she started to skirt an issue, she was a little afraid to confront me.” Later, Danielle and Josh alone at dining room table. Danielle – “This is what I’ve been told. That you made threats. That people that aligned with you, that they were going to be the next one voted out.” Josh – “Absolutely couldn’t be further from the truth, and that person would never say it in front of my face.” Danielle – “OK. See, and this is news to me, because from what have I been told, this is not true Josh.” Josh – “When have I ever been in position of power? Did I ever have veto? Head of household? Danielle – “Just because…You don’t have to have a title to be in position of power.” Josh – “I would love to see that person would ever say that in front of me.” Josh in DR – “So I wanted to, you know, put seeds of doubt back in her head, as to not believe everything someone says, that people are all about spreading misinformation.” Josh – “I took a lot of responsibility for what was said in that group that night, and I took on responsibility because I did START the meeting, but I never put Marcellas’ name out there, everyone else did.” (Josh is lying, because…) Scene of Josh on first night – “My thing is, I think we should concentrate on getting Marcellas out.” Danielle – “Because it occurred to me, that you were at the position of power.” Josh – “And clearly, I have never been.” (Josh lies again.) Danielle – “I will take note, and make adjustments accordingly.” They shake hands, and walk away. Danielle in DR – “I’m not stupid. So my first thought is, why give me that information? How is that going to benefit you? Are you trying to manipulate me?” ------------------------------------------ Marcellas and Many Threats ------------------------------------------ Roddy is talking to Marcellas in HOH room. Roddy is explaining why Marcellas was put up for nomination the first week – because Marcellas was miserable, and Marcellas admits he was miserable, and Roddy says the choice was easy. Marcellas on Roddy in DR – Says Roddy is a quadruple threat – he’s good looking, he’s smart, he’s well liked, nobody’s going to work to get him out because he’s playing the game so right on every level. Roddy in HOH room tells Marcellas if they told each other they would keep each other safe for two weeks, that even if god came down and offered him $1,000 a minute, he would stick to his original agreement. Marcellas in DR says that Roddy is the one to watch, and that Roddy knows Marcellas thinks he is a threat. Lisa talking to Eric in bedroom, tells him that she has too many friends that are like Marcellas, and that she thinks he will nominate her to “pay back the ”, because she nominated him. She says, “and then the fun begins.” Eric however, thinks if he is up against anybody, he would rather be up against Josh, because Josh has “rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.” He tells Lisa that she hasn’t really done that to anybody. Danielle visits Marcellas in HOH room to talk about Josh. She says his story doesn’t hold water. She says she doesn’t trust him. Marcellas says, you can’t trust anyone, and Danielle agrees. She talks about how she told Josh he had the power, and Josh denied it, saying everyone has given him the power to make him the scapegoat. Marcellas tells Danielle not to let Josh play her. Marcellas says, “that clique, has to work itself out.” Danielle tells him that she has something to say, and he can do anything with it he wants. That if “they” think Gerry is on “our” side, then “we” have a problem, unless “you” (meaning Marcellas) sacrifice Gerry now. Marcellas in DR, says that he does not trust Danielle, that she really wants to win, and sees the money as a “change for her life”, and that makes her dangerous. Marcellas to Danielle in HOH room – “If one of my clique goes, the balance of power will shift to them, and there is nothing that we can do to help each other. My nominations are going to be to try to break up that clique. As long as one of them goes, if it be Josh, if it be Lisa, if it be Eric, if it be Chiara, if it be Tonya, one of them has to go this week. One of them does.

Commercials ------------------------------------------ Nominations ------------------------------------------ Houseguests are in backyard, nervously awaiting the nominations for eviction. Roddy says morbidly, “meeting of death soon”. Jason says, “Yes”. Scene shifts to Marcellas alone in HOH room looking pained, says “I kind of can’t help but feel to want to put myself in their shoes. To want to give them the benefit of the doubt.” Marcellas leaves HOH room, walks to wall with pictures of HG’s, takes Lori’s picture down, kisses it, and puts the picture back up on wall. As he takes the keys down off their hooks and walks back with them to the HOH room, he explains that he has mentally put each HG up for nomination in his head, and then has weighed the choices, good and bad, for each one. “It was terrifically difficult, and it was much more difficult than I anticipated.” Marcellas explains the ritual of inserting the keys of HG’s who are safe into the nomination box as he puts the keys in the box one by one. Then he puts the two nominated HG’s keys into the red velvet bag, and places the bag in his dresser drawer. He walks outside, and tells everyone, “the moment is now”. He gets the nomination box, and places it on the table. “OK. I think I talked to each person in this room, and I think you know that for me the game is about things like integrity, things like kindness, things like honor, things like responsibility, not only for what we do in the House, but for who we are outside of it. I think that we can do this, and it can be beautiful. If we walk away, we can at least come back and look at each other’s faces, and smile, and feel like we know each other, that’s worth so much more than $500,000.00. That said…” Marcellas pulls the first key. “Eric, you’re safe.” Many nervous faces and furtive glances as the ritual continues. Eric pulls Amy’s key Amy pulls Chiara’s key Chiara pulls Danielle’s key Danielle pulls Roddy’s key Roddy pulls Gerry’s key Gerry pulls Jason’s key Jason pulls Lisa’s key Josh in his best Gomer Pyle imitation, says “Surprise, surprise, surprise!” Tonya grins knowing she is nominated too. Marcellas acknowledges that he nominated Josh and Tonya. Josh nods his head vigorously. Marcellas explains. “It is no secret Josh that we have had problems from Day One. This has nothing to do with the original six. This has nothing do with an alliance. This has nothing to do with the friends that I have made in this circle. I looked at Josh’s behavior in the House, and I thought that it was disruptive to the House, and I let his actions speak louder than any words that anybody else said about him, or any words that he said. We can choose to play the game in the manner in which we want to play it. The manner in which he chose to play it, I did not like, and I thought it was destructive to the house.” “Tonya unfortunately somebody has to be a pawn. You’ve never been anything but kind to me from Day One; It’s not personal Josh, but you…well it IS personal.” Josh says “Obviously it is”. “You undercut me, and you undercut several people, and I think that, at the bottom of everything, it’s that.” Josh says, “I respect your decision.” Marcellas kisses Tonya, says “again, I’m sorry”. Then Marcellas kisses Josh on the head, saying “truly I’m sorry”, looking embarrassed, then gets flustered and walks away from the table, the tension broken and he is relieved the ordeal is over. Tonya and Josh hug. Danielle in DR says, “Josh SO knew he was a marked man. And you know what Josh? You played the game too freaking early – that’s your fault.” Much hugging, Marcellas putting away the nomination box, cleaning up, more hugging, smiles and relieved looks all around. Tonya in DR says, “Being the nominee makes me a little bit nervous. Pretty much all the houseguests were very um reassuring. You never know. Like things could change, within the next couple days.” Josh in DR, “Marcellas and Gerry they do not LIVE in reality. Neither Gerry nor Marcellas will be anywhere NEAR a finalist in this game. Neither one of them have a backbone, they’re two spineless b*tches.” Roddy in DR, “I’d love to save Josh, I’d love to keep him in the house.” Gerry in DR, “I don’t know how safe Tonya is. There’s no such thing as a sure thing.” VO: “Who will win the power of veto? And will it be used to save either Josh or Tonya from eviction? If so, who will Marcellas nominate instead?
