September 17, 2004 - Episode 30

September 14, 2004 - Episode 29

Diane devises a plan to carry Cowboy, Drew, and Diane to the final three. Diane, Michael, and Drew devise a plan to go to the final three taking Jennifer out of the game. Diane decides that she has to be on the block so that she doesn't have to go against her promise to Jennifer, ie, the famous pinky swear.

It is day 75 in the BB house and in one week, the winner will be crowned. Tonight is the most important and last veto in the season. Another houseguest will be evicted this evening and we will see the last HOH competition of the season. The final golden power of veto will change the game.

Drew nominated Diane and Nakomis and said that they are close and both are strong players. Cowboy says that the plan is to assure that Cowboy and Drew make it to the final two. Diane says that she doesn't want to win veto because if she wins it, she has to break a promise to someone. Diane says that if she wins it, she can't promise that she will keep Cowboy in the game. Drew says that if it comes to the final three, who will she pick? She says to him that she would pick him, and he says, don't lie, because if you do lie, I am on the jury. She swears on her sister's life that she will pick him.

Diane comments on her new clothes and says that she loves them. Drew says that his brother and his motto is step by step and they are sticking to the plan. Cowboy says that winning the money will provide for him and his family and he has always wanted a dude ranch.

Julie says that in one week, seven days, one of them will be a half million dollars richer. The winner will be crowned next Tuesday.

The houseguest on the jury are enjoying paradise. Marvin isn't getting along with the twins and both him and Will are sticking together. He says that Natalie is driving nuts, but he wouldn't mind seeing Diane show up so he could stab her with a chicken bone. Karen shows up and they watch the show. Karen says that the jury is filling up with the good people and the house is turning into a freak nest.

Drew goes out side to see an electronic generator and pictures of the houseguests. There are electrical cords and you have to connect the pictures in an order, hit the generator switch and see if they light up. Drew's task is to connect the houseguests in order from first to last as veto holders. He finally gets it after realizing that he won a veto. Diane is next and she gets it when she finally remembers that Drew won the veto and saved her. Cowboy remembers who does what when he has to connect veto winners and he did it the first time. Jennifer gets it, too. Drew reveals the times. Drew 14:27, Diane 4:14, Michael 2:13, Jennifer 6:13. Michael wins the golden POV.

Michael holds all the power. His vote sends either Diane or Nakomis home. Nakomis says to Cowboy that she would take him to the end. She tells him that Jase and Scott that if she was final two, she would take CB to the end. She says that she elaborated on the truth of Jase and Scott telling her that they would like to see Nakomis and Cowboy to the end. Cowboy says that last week she was campaigning to get him out of the house, and how can they compete together if they aren't even on the same side. He tells the DR that it is a hard decision to decide whether to take a friend or his sister to the end. Jennifer says that she doesn't like to lie or cheat and her conscience got to her. Outside on the patio, she loses it with Diane and Cowboy. She blows her stack and Cowboy says that he cares. Drew is strying to ease himself into the scene, but out of it, sitting with his chair far away from the table as Jennifer goes on about how lying, cheating, and stealing to get to the end. Diane goes in and says that she is going home to Drew and says that Jennifer was singing a completely different tune before Cowboy came out. Drew says that Cowboy is so scared of looking like a bad person and the next day Diane confronts Cowboy and says that she saved him from his sister two weeks ago. He asks for her promise that she will take him to final three, and she promises. She tells the diary room that she would promise him her first born child when she has one to get to the final three. (During this episode, Diane has promised to take both Drew and Cowboy to finals if she wins final HOH.)

Cowboy is in the diary room talking privately with Julie. He says that now he has to give his vote to his sister or to Diane, a good friend. April told him to step up to the plate and he did, winning golden veto. Cowboy says that he and his sister are closer, but he will not factor that in tonight, but rather how each person treated him in the game.

Big Brother does a promo for houseguests for the next show, showing scenes of Marvin, Adria, and Karen as part of the promo. They are taking applications!

Michael and Drew are safe from eviction. Michael is about to make his decision and he either saves Diane or Nakomus. The other nominee must leave immediately. State your case and think carefully. Diane says that she respects and admires him more than you know. You put your trust in me three weeks in a row and I kept it. I put my trust in you and you say you are a man of your word. Nakomus says, "Dad will ground you if you don't pick me." Cowboy says, "You are wonderful young ladies and I love y'all. Nakomus, we are both brother and sister. You made a promise to me that if you are HOH, you would not put me up and I am factoring that in. Diane, we have grown closer to each other these past few weeks, but we have had our differences, but you have been honest with me and we made an agreement and I do choose to use the veto to save you, Diane.
Cowboy says, "Welcome to final three." Diane says, "Thank you for keeping your word." Cowboy says, "This was hard, and I am a man of my word."

Jennifer says that she was the only person left in the final four that was not in the three person alliance. Jennifer says that the way that Michael handled himself in the game, he is not the kind of person that I am used to dealing with, but it depends on how he is outside of the house. Jennifer says that she is sure outside of the game she is a wonderful person, but she would not be on my team.

Drew says "You Nakomus, have been an outstanding person in the game and I am sorry that I put you up as a pawn." Diane says that if you are seeing this you are sitting there. "We were allies in this game and look where it got us!" Cowboy says that she is his sister and he loves her and will see her outside of the game.

Drew, Diane, and Cowboy battle it out for the last HOH. It is a three part challenge. Whoever wins part one goes to round three. The two losers battle it out for round three. The winner of that one goes to round three. The first round is endurance. There are three keys on a stand and two black posts for each to stand on. The players must hold onto a key, and stand on the black posts. One hand must remain on the key at all times. They may switch hands and their feet may not touch the platform. They may not eat, drink, or sleep. The last person standing without letting go of the key will win the first round. There is a shakeup when the houseguests learn that the platform they are standing on moves and shakes like an earthquake. The show leaves with all three still standing as the platform is shaking and moving.

There is no show on Thursday, but there is a show on Friday at 8 PM. The final show is a reunion of the jury and other houseguests on Tuesday at 8 PM where the winner of this summer's BB5 will be announced.

September 11, 2004 - Epsidoe 28

Diane betrays the girl alliance by saving Drew and Nak had to nominate Karen, her only ally. Diane devises a plan to get rid of Karen and Karen says that she made a committment to her, so Diane carefully chooses her words when she discusses the vote. When Karen is evicted, she makes a statement about being back doored. Drew wins HOH.

Cowboy was happy not to be evicted and Nakomis says to Karen that when you trust people you give them the benefit of the doubt all the way. Diane approached Nak after saying that she hoped she was not mad at her and Nak gives her a hug. Cowboy was frustrated that he was not the winner saying that Drew let his pride get in the way of letting Cowboy be HOH. Diane thinks she is going on the block and Nak says that it may be that Drew is afraid of having the girls in the house. Drew gets into HOH and Diane sees that he got another Miami shirt. She says he already has 20 of them so maybe he will give her one to take home.

Cowboy is bugged that he didn't win and wanted Drew to just give it to him. Jennifer says that it bugs her that Diane says she is fat. Jennifer says that oh wow, she went from a 0 to a 1. Drew tells Diane that the yolk has the most fat in it when she begins to cook an egg. Cowboy says that they have a whole gym, so eat salads and work out. Both girls say they will work out..... tomorrow.

Diane, Drew, and Cowboy discuss strategy and CB says that he has the hardest week. He is upset that his sister plotted to get him out. He says he has to win the veto.

Jennifer reminds us that the final four are the four youngest in the house. Diane says that she has had her eye on him since the first day. She says to the DR that he might be her boyfriend. Drew says that she definitely isn't his girlfriend because things may change, accelerate or decelerate outside of the house. They show scenes where she tries to trap him into making plans to be together out of the house and he says, no, no, no. Later he tells the DR that she has kissed Scott and Marvin, so why is kissing him any different? Diane has a lot of her conversations in bed and she tells Drew to be nice to her since he is putting her on the block in the morning. She says that he might feel bad if she is voted out of the Big Brother house.

Conversations over Cowboy's grilling skills abound and he grills steaks two hours before dinner, overcooking Jennifer's steak which she likes medium rare. He seems to enjoy being the grill master, but takes advice from Jennifer and Drew and removes the steaks before they are completely black. Jennifer complains that he ruined fifty dollars of New York Strip.

Diane's least favorite piece of clothing is Drew's Goonies T-shirt. She hates Jennifer's wide legged pants. Diane has a pair of orange fuzzy pants, and Diane hates the yellow shirt that Jase left for CB. Drew comes out with a luxury competition called Trash and Fashion. They have to trashing some fashions and get to destroy it. Drew chooses to do in Diane's Nice Girls Finish Last shirt and he tars and fries it. Diane flames Jase's gift to CB. Drew fries Nak's skeleton shirt. Cowboy does in Diane's Texas shirt by tarring it. Diane goes after Drew's Goonies shirt by deep frying it. She says in the DR "Sorry Vanessa, I got your man and your t-shirt." For an extra fifteen minutes they can destroy the clothes they are wearing. All decide that they will do it but Jennifer who says that the clothes she is wearing are her sister and mom's and not hers to destroy. The guys are down to their boxers and Diane goes down to her red bra and shorts. They have two minutes and forty-five seconds to shop.

The houseguests remove their shoes and head on in to shop. They find their racks and put their clothes on their bodies and exit the house in the time allotted. Cowboy got 29 items, Jennifer got 29 items, Diane got 31 items, and Drew got 33 items.

Drew and CB have fun with Diane when she leaves the room in the middle of the night. Drew gets on the floor and CB climbs into bed. She returns to the bed and CB was there and she rolls over to him and CB pops up laughing. Drew tells Diane in the morning that the previous night he thought she sounded like his mom breathing and perhaps they were related distantly. Diane says oh shoot, perhaps our children will have three legs or two noses. In the HOH room Diane is nervous at going on the block. She says that she hopes she doesn't win it because Jennifer won't believe it if she doesn't take herself off, but she doesn't want to vote against her. He comments that maybe Nakomis will win the veto and take herself off and vote her out. Diane says that she wishes that she was in his position with nothing to worry about.

Drew has to do nominations. Diane says that she knows they have a plan and she hopes it works out. Jennifer thinks that it will be her and CB going up. Drew says that it is hard to choose who to put up. He calls them in for nominations. He says that this is the final nomination ceremony and will pull out the only key. That person will be safe. The other two are up for nomination. He pulls out Cowboy's key. Jennifer and Diane are nominated. He tells Jennifer that she put him up last week, he sees her as a strong player and for those reasons he puts her up today. Diane, you two have been close together since early on in the game and this is why I put you two up together. The meeting is adjourned. Jennifer says that these nominations are a cop out, and he is still a part of the four horsemen. Diane says she is up because of the plan. Cowboy says that it can go against him if Jennifer wins the veto because she will remove herself, he will go up and then she will vote him out.

Tuesday we will learn of the veto, see a live veto meeting, and see the eviction that leads to the final three in the house.

September 9, 2004 - Episode 27

Marvin is evicted and Nakomis wins HOH. She breaks a promise to her brother and puts him on the block. Diane watching this, loses her confidence in Nakomis and Karen and joins the guy alliance. She makes a deal with the guys to aid her in becomming HOH and in doing so, she will remove one of them from the block and as a block they will vote out Karen who is the sole remaining option to put up when one of them are removed.

At this point Karen and Michael are on the block. Diane has double crossed the girl alliance and formed one with the boys to save them by taking Drew off. Diane says that she saves Drew and that put Karen up against Cowboy and she says that at this point she is sitting pretty in the house with everybody on her side. Diane tells Karen that the worst case scenario is that Nakomis will have to cast the deciding vote to cast CB out. Karen says that Diane made the committment to her and Nak to go to final four. Nakomis says that she is nervous that it may go to the situation where she has to vote her brother out, even though she made a previous promise to him that she would not vote him out. Drew says that he is scared and CB is scared that the girls will get to Diane. Diane says that if the votes are not unanimous, trust me when I say that they would be a tie and Nak will vote out Cowboy. Karen whispers to Jennifer that she doesn't think that she (Diane) wants CB here. Karen says that she doesn't think that Diane can pull off a bold faced lie this way, but she has lost her confidence in Diane and perhaps Diane and Drew have been pulling a fast one all along. They guys talk alone about not letting Diane get HOH next time, she goes and CB and he are final two. Diane comes out, sees them talking and catches Drew alone, asking him if he is going to choose CB over her. She makes him swear that he isn't going to.

Diane is asked if she knew she was going to go this far and she says, "Of course I did!" Karen says to the question about what she would do with the money and Karen says that she is on the block and really hasn't thought that far ahead. Michael, what will you tell Chason about this experience? Whatever you want to do in life, you can go for it if it is a dream.

Diane and Drew share thoughts on Michael. Drew says that CB is the guy that he is closest to. He also says that if it comes down to him and CB in the final two, who would you vote for? "It scares me for that reason."

Karen says that she has a very detailed strategy and she is doing everything she knows to stay in this game, laughing at stupid jokes, learning card games, staying up all night and being there when everyone is getting drunk, talking about music that she knows nothing about, shared make-up with people, started to drink coffee to be a part of the coffee club, cry with people, sun tanned herself to a crisp, making quesadeas at three in the morning when she wants to be in bed. Honestly, I think that everybody has forgotten that the people they have ostrasized will hold the remaining people's fate in their hands. In my head I am trying to figure it out and the biggest part of this game involves the people sitting on that jury and I need to do everything I can to stay on the playing field with the people who are being evicted.

Nakomis in the HOH room. Diane changed your nominations, forcing you to change your nominations. How did you feel? I felt the promise we made and the trust we had would go farther than it did, but her man Drew is on the block, so there it is. I plan on making it to the final two and hopefully Karen will be HOH and when opportunity knocks, you gotta take it. I feel safe if Karen is here, but if Karen is gone, I will feel very vulnerable. I don't think Michael will side with me, he doesn't even speak with me daily.

Diane and Drew on Karen. Drew says that Karen has kissed a lot of a** and I don't know if keeping her around, but she can never lie and that is a positive. Diane says that Karen is a girl, and it is good to have girls together, so that would be a benefit.

Adria meets Natalie and Will in the jury house. Natalie and Will wait for Adria and Will says he felt some smug validation because he did not make it, but neither did those b***. He says that he is not only living with Natalie, but with tweedledum and tweedledee. Will has a lot of resentment and I can't type fast enough to get it all, but he has tons of hard feelings and is belittling the twins. Will says that when they get together they pick up where they left off, one mind and one brain. Natalie calls them over for a toast and Will has some nasty remarks he makes to the camera after Natalie wishes the jury well in her toast. While they are watching the tape of Adria's eviction, Will asks Adria why she said what she said when she left. Adria is telling him that she made a promise to her sister when her sister was silent because she didn't want to hurt Adria's chances, and while she is talking Marvin walks into the room and Will is so happy to see him. Marvin says that there was a double elimination sort of an emergency right after Adria left, and Drew was mad cause he kissed Diane and Cowboy ratted them out. He and Diane were up on the block. Adria says, "You kissed Diane?" Marvin retorts, "When a brother is locked up there for that long, he would kiss Nakomis!!" Marvin asks where the booze is.

Karen and Michael say their last words to plead their case. Karen? She says this game is about different reasons for everybody no ones reasons are more important then any others. She says that she has been open and honest and "I have been truthful. I have not lied to anyone. I am what you see. I would like to stay if you would like to have me stay." CB says over the weeks, we have grown really close and I would love to be in the final four, and if you all feel I need to go, I will respect that. I will respect staying as well.

Diane casts her vote. Diane votes to evict Karen. Drew casts his vote to evict Karen. Karen is evicted by a vote of 2-0. Karen says to Diane, "Thanks for backdooring me." Diane says, "It was a backdoor. When I said unanimous, I meant it." Nakomis is shocked, and turns white. Karen says, "It was a backdoor." She leaves. Diane is upset after the fact and she says to Jennifer that it is out in the open and Nak is the only one she had a pinky swear with, no verbal agreement with Karen either, and she had to do it for strategy. Nakomis in a surprising move, says, "It sucks, but it was a good strategy move. I understand it, good strategy." She goes to Diane and gives her an uncomfortable hug. Diane looks at Drew and says, "I am not the only (bleeped word) person who voted her out." She realizes her error on live tv and covers her mouth and says, "Sorry." Nakomis is very consoling.

Karen is shown with Julie and she is teary eyed. She says she should have expected it; Adria told her to expect it when she was still in the house. Karen tells Julie that her mistake in strategy was when she didn't use her veto to save Adria who promised to have her back and keep her safe if she would do it. She says that Adria told her that no one else would. She said that she backed Diane in the pinky swear thingy and so she chose not to use the veto. She also said that after, her vote would not have meant anything, but then again. Karen says that her strength is sapped, the house is very draining and she hopes she didn't embarrass her family, but a phone call home and a vacation would be a nice thing. "I knew they were not being truthful with me. I just didn't have it in me. I am physically drained and I am emotionally sapped. It is really hard to deal with the kind of people that they are. They are almost ruling that house. They turn their backs and they walk away. They don't want anything to do with anyone around them," said Karen. She says she is thirty and keeping up with everything going on in that house is tough. Karen is shown the good bye videos. Nik says that if you are seeing this you have been backstabbed by a bunch of hedonistic people. Drew says that he was close to her, but he was scared to be the only guy left in the house. He really thought he would be gone. Diane asks her not to be mad at her, it was purely strategic, and she knew if it was her, Karen, and Jennifer the final two would not include her, so it was purely strategic. Cowboy tells her how much he liked her and how much he is going to miss her.

Tonight, Nakomis is not allowed to compete, but tonight's winner will be able to compete next week. The order of events is the name of the game. Was Mike nominated for eviction before or after he helped build the glass in the Margarita Madness competition. Diane got it wrong. The event was after. Did Marvin toss burgers before or after he almost tossed his cookies in the Blender competition. All are right. Was the hottub uncovered before or after Lori was covered in mud? The answer is after and all are correct. Was the twin twist revealed to you before or after Scott was evicted. All are correct. Was Natalie evicted before or after the chemical HOH comp? All say before. Did Michael announce to the house that Nik was his sister before or after the competition? Diane is wrong. Did Marvin replace Jase before or after Diane replaced Scott. Drew got it right and Drew is in the lead by one point. Did Will's balloon get busted before or after the this little piggy comp? After, all are right. Drew is now HOH.

Drew is HOH for the third time and is guarenteed final three. He says that he might have a week to stay in the room and a chance for his heart to slow down. Julie says, "Don't be so sure." Diane says that toughest part of this game was choosing between Cowboy and Karen.

On Tuesday there will be a live veto meeting and another eviction with Julie as hostess.

September 7, 2004 - Episode 26

Drew nominates Diane and Marvin and Diane is heartbroken. The house wanted Marvin out. Diane says that she won't use the veto and promises, but in the end she didn't trust her housemates and used the veto, placing Jennifer on the block. Marvin is evicted and Jennifer wins HOH for the third time. The houseguests are not happy that Diane didn't trust them and used the veto and make a point of saying that they may not trust her as completely now.

Jennifer says that with a month to campaign, he wouldn't have been able to save himself. Karen says that he rubbed people the wrong way, but she held his hand on the way out because leaving now means you are on the jury. Diane pouts because Marvin didn't give her a hug and she says that he would be mad at her if she took herself off, and mad if she didn't.

After Jennifer wins HOH she decides that she has hardcore promises to Diane and Karen and so she is going to put her brother up. She says that she kept him safe when she was HOH, but she can't do it this week. Drew says that with Nik and Karen being so tight, it is pretty sure that he is going up. Karen wishes she had won it so that Nik didn't have to put her brother up. Cowboy reminisces that he and his sister have promised not to put each other up, so he feels she wouldn't break her promise, would she? Cowboy goes to Nik and says taht this week she is in a tough position and she has her alliance people and him and she has to do what is necessary. Cowboy says that they have both fought hard in the game. Nik says that he has changed and she respects him for taking it like a man. He is a whole new CB. Nik says that putting him up front gives him the chance to win veto and come off, rather than not putting him up and then he is put up by the veto and has no chance to come off.

Karen says that every move she has made in the game has been "strategical" and that if Diane and Drew go up she is going to vote for Diane to leave. Jennifer says that she hasn't caught Diane in anything directly and Karen reminds her of the previous night and her promise not to use the veto. Nik says it is the time to think of who is going to jury and who will stand there in the end. Nik says that her morals need to be quiet this week because they are getting in the way fo the game.

Cowboy says that he has the balance to do kicks, but he has only done karate for two weeks. Diane says that she doubts that Cowboy is a martial artist of any sort, as her mom is a black belt and she knows this stuff. Nik says that if CB whips out his Karate in a dark alley, the snot will get beat out of him.

Diane tells Drew that if she wins veto, she will take Drew off and stay safe herself and then CB and Karen will be up on the block and they both vote off Karen. She tells the DR that the girls are going to pick her off. She tells Drew several times that he must let her win the veto. They agree not to spend time together or sleep together and after the veto it can all come out in the open. Drew says that they might put two and two together if they sit in the hammock together. She later calls to CB and tells him again in Drew's presence. She says that she needs Drew on her side and this week she needs CB so that she can make her plan work. She tells him that any of the three can go up and then the one not on the block wins veto, they MUST win veto, and the two remaining vote to keep the one left up. She decides they can and will do it. Cowboy asks if she will do that for him and she says, "Yeah. It is what I want to do." He says, "I love you girl!"

Diane and Nik watch the fish and they have named them. They watch the fish and say that one is like Marvin. Nik says that as the numbers dwindle, the strategy changes and instead of thinking of getting the bad people out, you think of how to get to the final two. Nik says that someone is going out, but it is a game and may the best person win. She calls them in for nominations. She says that this was the hardest in the beginning, but in the end it was the easiest because she realizes that no one here is resentful or mad because they realize that it is a game and no one is saying that this person needs to be gone. Nik draws out Diane's key and Diane pulls Karen's key. She says that she nominated Drew and Cowboy and it is no longer personal, just may the best man win. I wish you all luck in the veto and the meeting is over.

Cowboy says that there is a huge risk with him and Drew up, and Diane says that the only way this will work is if SHE wins the veto. Cowboy asks about her promises and she says that she only pinky sweared with Nik and not with Karen, so she has no worries about promises broken. Diane says that she is okay with it and they won't see it coming since Karen won't know until it happens. Diane says that if they can't throw the game to play and then she will go up and Drew will go home. Cowboy says that he feels that trust may be an issue, but he has to take a little risk here. Cowboy and Drew talk about going to the finals, but say that they can't mention it to Diane or she won't do this for them.

Veto competition. Cowboy and Drew stop for a quick prayer and ask for the strength that they need to let the best man win. They ask for a miracle and ask to be guided in the way that HE wants, not the way that they want. The game is cages and each hg picks a cage. In front of the cages are piles of junk and items that may help them to set themselves free. These items will help them reach the key which will release them. Diane says that the nice part is that they can use the three putters and Diane can maneuver it through to unhook her key to pull it in. They started duct taping the putters together and CB was working on his flamingo knowing that he wasn't going to do anything with it. Cowboy passes on his putter and they duct tape it to the other ones. Diane has the reach now and releases the key. On the ring there are six keys and you have to find the right one to open the lock and she is going through keys while Nik has now gotten her key. Diane is still trying keys while Nik hauls hers in. Diane finally releases her lock with the right key, presses the button and then gets the Veto. Nik tells the DR that she doesn't think she has anything to worry about and is in the clear right now. Nik tells Karen that she doesn't think it is going to be used and Karen says, "Unless someone wants to play God."

Nik begins to speculate on why CB gave them his golf club and the girls feel their way through Nik. Drew and Cowboy ask Diane how she is going to handle it and she says that she will say, "No hard feelings, Cowboy." Nik says that she has no clue what Diane is going to do.

Diane and Nik talk. Diane says she is struggling with promises and she made one to Drew to get him off whenever he is on. She says that their trust is too fragile not to do it. Jennifer says that he has put her up and he has to see that it is just a game. She tells Nik that it will be a unanimous vote when Nik says that she doesn't want a tie where she has to vote her brother off. Diane says that if she takes Drew off, it will be unanimous.

The veto is used. The guys get their chance to speak and Drew says that he understands and will not let it come between their relationship if she doesn't use it. Cowboy says that he thinks that since Drew saved her in the past, she must use it to save him. She says that at this point she has to do what is best for her. And what is best for her is to remove Drew from the block. She places the veto around his neck and Nik says that there is only one other person on the couch to put up, so Karen please sit with Cowboy. Nik says in the DR that at this point if CB is here next week, she is gone, so she is going to work to get CB gone. Karen says that she wonders about Diane, she has lied in the past and she just wants to pin her to the wall and say, "Game on!"

The announcer announces that there are just two more weeks to the show and who will go on Thursday?

September 4, 2004 - Episode 25

Adria's campaigning for staying made her an outcast and she was voted out unanimously. Drew wins HOH is a Chemical Reaction HOH competition and the twist is that there will be an eviction tonight. Drew has a 22 hour HOH reign and by the end of the evening there will be a new HOH. It is day 65 in the house. Adria reminds everyone that she is on the jury and she learned a lot about who she does and doesn't want to vote for. Marvin says that he liked her from day 1 and now she deceived him. He says look how you deceived us, how you came into the game and you tried to throw the Bible up in everyone's face. Diane says she walked off instead of putting her mouth into it. Karen says it was probably the worst eviction. Jennifer says that with Marvin going off the way he did it kept the target off her back. Marvin says she was so sanctimonious and pompous. Don't be saying that you came into the house lying and deceiving and saying how you were somebody else. Marvin says me and Natalie are two votes, yeah, well you are two votes out of the house. Diane says that she is gone now and they don't have to see her again. Karen says that she knew the answer to the comp but she threw it instead of having the target on her head. Drew wins and says he is pumped about some letters from home. There are pictures and he says, "Sweet" and he is so happy to get a letter from his mom, dad, and brother. He tells DR that it means so much being in the game and it makes you strong to have that support. Drew is shocked to find out what he is going to do since he has to nominate tonight. CB asks him not to nominate him since he has been up two weeks running. Drew says that obviously Marvin has rubbed him the wrong way. Drew has a plan and he approaches Karen with it and Karen deflects it with talk of Diane and he says that his thought is Diane and Marvin cause they have been so tight. Karen talks about Marvin saying that he said whoever won the veto would take off CB and put Drew up. Karen says that she told Diane and Nik in the kitchen. Drew confronts Diane with it and says that she should have told him. Diane says that she didn't mention it because she didn't see it. Drew says that he is scared of her because she gets with whoever is HOH and she let Marvin kiss her and didn't try to stop him. Diane says that if he doesn't trust her to put her up and she will voluntarily go home.

Julie tells us that with only six houseguests in the game tonight's nominations are critical. Drew calls nominations. He says that he had three hours to make this decision and he hopes they understand why he is doing what he is doing. Drew pulls Karen's key. Karen pulls Michael's key. Michael pulls Jennifer's key. Diane and Marvin are on the block. Marvin you are a threat, you said yourself, you are a salesman, you are atheletic and you can win stuff. Diane we talked earlier and sometimes the people you think you can trust, you can't trust. Marvin says that Drew is spineless. He put up Diane? That is a joke. Diane says that she is not up as a pawn and she swears on her sister's life. That is why I have been out there crying. Diane finds Drew and says, "I am up because you don't trust me. Yes or No? She says she thinks she is staring at a whole nother person. He says that this is for game purposes and he thinks that they shouldn't sleep together and he wants her reactions to be natural. He tells the DR that he doesn't fully trust her but he doesn't, and that he wants her to be natural and it is clear that he doesn't want her to go off and tell anyone that it is just strategy, he wants her to think it is real. He plays with her head and says, "Trust me, but don't trust me." Diane promises that she won't use the veto and asks everyone to sweat bullets to get it tomorrow. She says she doesn't want anyone else up against him but her.

The game is ski-ball. They have to bounce one ball to each target. The houseguest who bounces the ball through all the targets in the least time wins the veto. Cowboy is first and Marvin says that CB is the least coordinated individual on the Earth. His time is 3:47. Karen is up next and she says that this one was so much fun and she had a blast. Her time was 1:37. Marvin says that he had his force field up cause Nik did it in 2:14 secs. Drew does it in 1:29. Diane does it in 1:20. Marvin is in 2:02. Diane wins veto. She says, "Oh the irony of the game." Marvin says that it isn't the end of the game but the grease is real hot and he is close to it. Marvin says that he knows that they want him out of the game. Marvin says that he wants to stay in the game and if she takes herself off, he can get her vote. He wants her to use the veto. She says that whatever decision she makes she will be okay for this game. Nik says that if she uses it on herself, it will show if Diane can be trusted. Diane says that she and Marvin are up and she has the opportunity to take one of us off. Marvin says, "No reason at all, but you won it, so use it on yourself." Diane says that she has a lot of trust in this house, but some people she thought she could trust she can't. She said that if she was on the block she would win the veto and she did. So she decides to use it on herself. Karen says that she can't be trusted by her or Nik because she said that she wouldn't use it if she got it. Drew says that now he has to make someone mad at him and puts Nik up. They shake hands. Marvin says that it will take an act of God and an act of Congress, but he isn't gone yet and wants one.

As part of the double eviction week someone leaves tonight. Marvin says that he appreciates hanging out with you the past 2 and a half months. He says hopefully he will get his own sitcom in the fall and if he does, he will give them a part on it, grins, and says that is it. Nik says, "follow your heart." Michael votes to evict Marvin. Karen votes to evict Marvin. Diane votes to evict Marvin. The votes are in and Marvin is voted out 3-0. Marvin says that it is business and he will hollar out you. Diane says to have a six pack waiting for him. He says goodbye. He says hi to Julie. She says "You bolted out of that house." Cowboy says that he took it like a man and walked out. Diane says that he would be pissed at me if I used it, pissed at me if I didn't use it. Marvin says that his issue was that she would go to HOH and try to get CB up so that he might get the votes. Marvin took issue with Adria and Julie says that he is going to see her in the jury house very soon and how is it going to be? Marvin says that she was talking at him and he throws it right back at her and this bringing up the Bible isn't right with him. He says, "I know and it is cool in the game and if there are issues, she can stay away from me and I will stay away from her." He tells Julie that she is beautiful and gets his moment in with her, schmoozing her. Julie grins and says, "It is not going to get you back in the house Marvin." He grins and says, "I know."

Items have been secretly removed from the house and the hg noticed some things missing. Karen and Jennifer notice that the vase, chessboard, and green glass things are missing, purple flowers, occupied sign, toaster, fish tank items, chari from living room, but it comes back. Drew can't compete, Ready, Set, Gone is the game. First person to buzz in and give an answer gets a point. If you buzz in and give a wrong answer you are out of the game. Without this item it is hard to check your opponent. Michael gets a point with the chessboard. Diane gets a point wicker ottoman to the question something to put your feet on. Michael gets the pear on a food like question. Nik gets the rest room carpet for keeping your feet warm. The occupied sign is Karen on a getting caught with your pants down question. The lazy susan is Diane on a spinning question. Diane is wrong and is out on a which is gone and replaced first question when she answers a chair. Two items were removed and replaced. The toaster is replaced and Nik gets it. The fish tank aquarium arch goes to Nik and she wins HOH after 8 questions total. She is happy and animated again with her win and others congratulate her.

September 2, 2004 - Episode 24

Previously on BB5 Natalie's eviction from the house devastated Adria and Marvin was back in power, making a pact with Diane that he would give her a pass if he gave her a pass this week. It upset her allies. Karen won HOH and she is pressured by Adria to use it. Karen chooses not to and Adria's hopes are dashed. The live eviction is tonight.

It is day 63 inside the house and Natalie was evicted and her twin sister Adria is in jeopardy. Michael is up against Adria and by not using the POV, Karen keeps Adria and Michael up on the chopping block. The new evicted houseguest will be the third one on the jury. Tonight the houseguests will learn that within 48 hours another houseguest will be evicted. It is double eviction week in the house. Karen is approached by Adria and she says that some people have no respect for the people who are up on the block. She says it makes her sick the way people talk about her. Diane says that they have nicknamed Adria "the plague" and Marvin says that since Karen is soft Adria will work on her. Adria says that she has no alliance and there is no reason for her being on the block. Adria asks Karen who she is going to stand next to in the end. Karen says that she is not thinking even to next week, she is not thinking ahead and Adria says she should be. Adria tells Drew she is not a quitter and she can't do anything. She says she would love being in a tie and having Marvin make the decision. Drew tells Adria that this week Diane is close to Marvin and she is being a B*** about some things. Drew says that no one is talking to Adria and Adria is out in the yard talking to herself about the number of laps she is swimming. Drew says that he can't say a bad thing about Adria and Diane asks him what he is going to do. Diane says that something is bothering Drew and Karen and Drew talk about Adria. Drew is trying to convince Karen to vote for Adria so that Marvin can cast the deciding vote.

Julie talks to Karen and congratulates her on the POV win and Karen says she is happy not to be shooting blanks in the house anymore. Cowboy is very happy that he got to talk to his beautiful woman and the most loving boy in the world. He thanks the fans for the opportunity. Drew says that making it on his own will be easy after the house. Jennifer says that she only used the patch for four days and has quit smoking.

Of the seven remaining, only four get to vote. Diane says that Adria is the most competitive player ever. Diane says that Cowboy is nice and has been mature about the nomination, and Karen says that CB is a snitch and a stool pigeon. Karen says that this is a pretty level playing field when it comes to the choice.

Marvin's strategy has been to break up alliances in the house. He says that he has a strategy to break up Drew and Diane. He says that if he can get her to give him a kiss or a back rub it will get to Drew. Cowboy saw when Marvin gave her a kiss and says that he needs to tell Drew. Drew says it is all about the game and it is fine, but he sat on it to see if Diane would tell him. He confronts Diane and she backpedals and says she can't remember, did it happen in the shower? Drew tells her that she kind of broke the trust and she says that she doesn't want him to be with someone he can't trust and he says that he can respect that and that in that case he is not ready for her. She says, "You honestly feel that way?" Drew says, "Yes." Diane says that she is confused. She asks if it means he doesn't want to be with her and he says, "You got it." He then teases with her and pushes her back on the bed and holds her. Cowboy says to Diane that he wants to be with her, but Diane says that Marvin needs to be back-doored next week. She says that Drew is in a relationship on steroids. Marvin says that his plan is working. He doesn't want Drew to trust Diane and Diane not to trust Drew.

Marvin is asked why he wants Adria out when she has stood up for him in both instances that he was on the block. He says that she is a strong player, and one who could beat him in the competitions as well as being a mental genius. When asked about any alliances, he says he has been reluctant to be in an alliance. Marvin says that he has joined forces with Diane. Diane has said that she will keep him in the house, and Marvin says that he trusts her as far as he can throw her, but he needs to use her this week and hope that she can be trusted a little bit.

Jennifer and Drew in the diary room on the nominees. Nik says that Adria is a strong player. Drew says that to lose CB would set him adrift in the group but keeping Adria in the game longer keeps the target off his back. He says she keeps her promises. Nik says that Adria breaks group promises and CB is laying low to stay in the house.

Will's reaction when Natalie joins him. Will has been here for seven days in sun, surf, and weather and there was rain, thunderstorms, and showers and wonders if there is a message in that. Natalie joins him. He says that when Natalie turned the corner and stared him in the face. Natalie says that her hug was genuine and he crossed his fingers and winked his eyes when he returned her hug because he says that they can never right the wrongs they did to him. Will says that they started a new chapter and are going to move forward and he says that he is going to take the high road and will be the better man. Natalie thanks him for the toast to the winner of BB5 and then she gives him the tape. Will says that if karma is a boom-a-rang, then it happened and Natalie brings up the Charles Manson comment about people working for him while he was in prison.

Michael says that it is tough going up against Natalie and even tougher to be up with Adria. He says they are all his friends. Adria says that she is so honored to be there and she hopes that people will stand behind her as she stood behind her friends. In any case she has been proud to be here. Jennifer smirks and rolls her eyes.

Jennifer votes to evict Adria, holding up her pinky finger. Drew votes to evict Adria. Karen votes to evict Adria. Diane votes to evict Adria. Adria is evicted by a vote of 4-0. Julie reveals the votes. Adria gets her things to leave and hugs CB, Karen, Drew and Karen and Drew flank her. Jennifer stays back from her. She tells them all goodbye and says that she had a good time, but said next that she had prayers for all of them and that she learned a lot about people this week and it would affect her jury vote since she is going into the jury. She also reminds them that her sister also has a vote in the jury. At this point Marvin steps in and tells her it is time to go and says that he thought alot of her when she came into the game he loved her and then she became deceptive and turned on them. They get into a spat and then Adria turns and goes. Marvin says that girl has a big mouth. He turns to Diane and she says, "That is a big weight off my shoulders...... opps, sorry BB." Marvin is mad at the parting. Adria and Julie talk about her leaving and she says that she came into the world right after her sister and it doesn't surprise her to leave the house like that. She watches the videos where Diane tells her that she is sorry if Adria feels a trust was broken but trusts were broken all around. Karen says she is in self-preservation mode and she knows that Adria understands what she had to do. Drew says that this juvenile week was not right. Marvin says that he admires her game and her tenacity. Cowboy says that he is going to miss her and she was like a sister to him.

The HOH is called Chemical Reaction. They get true or false questions about prior competitions and mix chemicals. If the liquid turns blue they are correct, if they don't, they are out of the game. Marvin's job was to put ice in the large glass in the Margarita comp. True and everyone got it. Mike was eliminated by Scott in the Flamingo Toss. False and Jennifer is out. Snag the Veto was the very first veto comp. False and Diane is out. One of the gifts that Will won during Very Veto Christmas was a set of underwear. True and they all got it. Lori was the first hg to land a chicken in the food basket in the Catapultry Chicken Competition. Michael is out. Scott won pizza for everyone during Alphabet Soup Competition and Karen lost. Drew is the new HOH. He tells Julie that he is hoping he gets a letter from home, from Ben.

Julie says that the motto is Do Not Assume. In less than 48 hours another houseguest will be evicted and later tonight there will be a nomination ceremony. It will be an intense two days of competitions for the houseguests. Saturday we will see an eviction.

As the show leaves, the houseguests are struggling to figure out if Drew will get a week as HOH or will it be shorter. They also mention that things are going to move fast.

August 31, 2004 - Episode 23

Nat and Michael are nominated for eviction. Drew seems swayed, but goes with the group during voting and Natalie is gone. Marvin wins HOH.

Natalie says her goodbyes and Marvin says that the mood was very different from when Will left. Jennifer says that the 4-1 vote shows that she can trust her housemates more. Adria is upset and says that Natalie was her friend in the house. Diane says that it is a damn shame that her twin is still there or she would be partying. Diane says that when Natalie walks though the door with Will it is going to be horrible. Michael says that he lost a sister and shed a tear. Marvin says that when someone leaves you can pat yourself on the back cause you made it another week. He says you are sad to see someone go, but happy to see them go. On winning HOH he says that it is one more week for him. Cowboy says that Marvin might put him up this week. Karen says that she isn't bothered by not winning because she wants to stay in the background. Drew is worried that he may go up simply because he hasn't been up. Adria thinks that with her partner gone, the attention may be diverted from her to other partners like Diane and Drew. Diane says that she has a funny feeling. Diane thinks that CB and Adria on the block would be great. Most damage would be Drew and Diane or Jennifer and Diane. Nik thinks that that would be his smartest move. Diane thinks that Marvin and Karen are very tight now.

Marvin shows off his HOH room. He gets a letter from home and his CD is Prince, the double disk. CB says he would have loved to get HOH so he would have pictures of April and Chason. Diane says that she doesn’t care anymore about HOH unless it is her and her room and her pictures. Marvin says that he is on top of the world with Y&R, HOH, and the Prince double disk. Marvin goes to Diane and offers her safety this week if she promises not to put him up next week. She tells him that he will always be safe in her book. Marvin says that he isn't asking for this week, but next week when he isn't HOH. He says that he would love to go head to head with her in the end. Diane says she will promise him on her life. Marvin says that if she protects him he will protect her and he wants her promise. She says that she has some power in the house and she will use it and asks him what he wants. In the DR Diane says that this is good. She has Drew, she, Nik, and Karen are tight, and now with Marvin all she has to do is get CB and Adria out. Marvin says she is a strong player and he admires that.

Nik has 18 piercings, she tells Drew. She says she likes small doses of pain. Nik says she has fetish and goes to dominatrix stuff. Drew says that she lives another lifestyle and he learns stuff in the house. Diane says that Nik knows a bunch about sex and knows that people get sexual pleasure from beatings. Diane says she is a sex-freak.

Karen says that they won so much equipment that it wouldn't fit in the yard, but the fully outfitted gym is great in the cement room. Marvin loves it, but wonders where he is going to sleep after HOH.

Marvin looks at keys for HOH. Cowboy says that his goal is to survive one week at a time and thinks there is a chance his key won't be in the box. Marvin wants to buy himself some safety. Diane says that Marvin told her she is safe and she hopes he is not lying to her. Marvin doesn't want to second-guess himself and is ready for noms. Marvin says that they all like everybody and they are deep in the game and this is not flowers candy and roses. Somebody has to go. Marvin pulls out Karen's key. Karen pulls out Jennifer's key. Jennifer pulls out Diane's key. Diane pulls out Drew's key. Adria and CB are on the block. Adria I nominated you because you have won before, 3 out of 4 vetos, HOH, and other competitions and have had it a little easier in the house because of your twin. I am giving you a chance to get yourself off the chopping block with the veto. CB I know that you are close to her and will have to vote for her so even though you are still my boy, I am nominating you. This is nothing personal. Ceremony is closed. Karen hugs Adria and CB comes in to see Marvin and he tells him that he is going to be safe. He tells him that he and Will were good friends in the house and that he and Will made a promise. He tells CB that he is doing what he can to keep Michael from playing veto for her and will do what he can to make him safe. Adria talks to CB and apologizes for putting him beside her but is grateful that he is there beside her. She tells DR that she is on her own. Adria asks Karen to play for her and to use the veto. Karen says that it would be bad for her if she used it to take Adria off. Karen tells Adria that she doesn't want to use it to save her.

Diane goes to Drew and tells him that Marvin is safe next week because she made him (Drew) safe by promising not to put Marvin up. Nik tells the promise to Karen who says, "She made that promise on her own without consulting the group?" Nik and Karen are not happy with that promise but say that they must honor it. Karen says that Diane is playing with fire.

The phone call from home makes them all so hopeful. Adria says that if Lenny called she would ust die. Michael says that he misses April and Chason so much and it would be wonderful to hear from them. Marvin says that contact from home would be great, that this game is hard and it would make a huge difference.

The phone rings and they all run. T-Mobile has called. Drew answers and the phone call is for Michael from April. She got the job and Chase got the teacher he wanted. She says that they love him and want him to come home. Chason talks with Michael and he cries. He says it is okay when he sees him on tv. He tells CB that he is his favorite on tv. April says that she is going to marry him and she doesn't know if she can wait until December. She tells him to play it to win it, that they talked about it, and that her dad says that he is not supposed to cry anymore or he will put his foot up his butt. Real cowboys don't cry. Michael thanks America for the chance to talk to his family and he is going to win that money and take it home to them.

Adria is looking for a teammate for veto. Adria says that she can either do things or sit back and wait. Karen says that she doesn't know if she can use it if she wins it. Adria says that she has her support from the people in the house so why can't she put her up. Karen says that she won't throw this competition but she is on a losing streak. Adria says that she will keep her fingers crossed. If Karen is weak on the mental competitions it may help her win. Marvin picks Drew so Adria can't. CB chooses Jennifer and that left Adria with either Karen or Diane so she chooses Karen since she had half a chance with her.

The game is chip off the old block and inside each center is a veto medallion. The first one to set it free wins. There is a water gun to use to free a letter T which will get them a toolbox full of things to use to melt the ice. They ran out of water and then beat on the ice with it. Finally they decide to use the pool water to help them. Adria moves quickly to get the T which will gain her the toolbox because her veto was deep in the ice. Adria got the T first, racing for the toolbox that had hand warmers, salt, alcohol, and other items, while Karen went for the veto instead. Karen is trying to get an opening to the veto and she gets a hole in the side and works her hand in there, until she pulls out the veto. Karen says that it was because of her little hands. Karen says that people will consider her less of a loser and more of a team player. Marvin says that this will be the nail in the coffin and seal the fate of the evil twins. Adria says that she will definitely be talking to Karen and she knows the whole house will. She says, "That is that."

Karen naps and Adria approaches her. Adria wants to have an idea and wants her to look at other options. Karen says that there are two people on the block that she has nothing against and if she uses it another person who she cares about will go up on the block. She says it is in her best interest not to use it. Karen says that this veto position is the worst and she hopes that others understand why she has to do what she is going to do. Adria says that if Karen uses it on her she will stand behind her and that Nik and Diane will vote her out.

Karen convenes the veto meeting and gives both a chance to plead their case. Adria talks to Karen in the veto meeting. She says that some people choose not to follow their commitments and she would love to see the power of veto being used today on her. CB says that you won the veto fair and square and he will respect whatever decision she makes. Karen says that winning something shows her the power she has over the fate of a houseguest and the seriousness of the situation. She concludes by saying that she cares about each of the nominees as a person she doesn't feel comfortable removing either of these people over the other and at this time she will respect the decision of the HOH and leave the nominations as they stand. Karen says that CB is feeling cocky and that can be dangerous. Adria says that she is looking for a teammate and she can go up on the block every week. Things can shift and she is a tough competitor.

Who will be evicted on Thursday? Who will be HOH?

August 26, 2004 - Episode 22

Nik avenged Will's eviction by putting Adria and Natalie on the chopping block. After denying blame for the pinky swear Adria goes on to win the POV. She decides to save herself and Nik puts up her brother, Cowboy, betraying a promise to her brother. Who will be evicted? Will the twins be torn apart?

It is day 56 in the house and Adria casts the deciding vote to evict Will. Nik put both twins on the chopping block. In Adria's place, Nik names her own brother to replace her.

Nik put her brother up to assure Natalie's eviction. Nik broke her promise to him and he says that it is wrong. Nik says that she broke her promise but with these circumstances, he is safe. Cowboy says, "How am I a sure thing?" Adria says that she is looking to gather the two votes she needs for her sister to stay and she is looking at the Diane and Drew alliance, and Drew says that if Cowboy wasn't here, the twin alliance would be intact and as four of them here with four being strong numbers and as long as the twins are still here the target will be on Natalie, not on him. Marvin says that these chicks are devious and the chicks are devious, and any time there is a veto nomination you might be backdoored. You know Adria has to vote for her sister and Diane is always pissed at you for something If you can get Drew to talk to Diane you might be safe cause Nik can't talk to Diane. Diane do what she wants to do. Drew says if we get rid of Cowboy this week, we will still have the twins. Diane says that she isn't afraid to push forward and she doesn't believe in the twins. You don't believe in them, but look, all they have is you and me in this game and I will have four people, a four out of five chance of winning HOH cause Karen is not going to win it. The only person you have to worry about is Marvin. Obviously the twins got to you. I trusted them not to put Will out of the game and I can't trust them. How do I know they wouldn't break their promise to us? You are going to feel real bad if I went with that and next week I go up. He says that at some point everybody has to think of themselves and put someone else up. Who are you scared of in this game? Diane says, "Cowboy." Drew kids and says that he hates this girl when Cowboy comes in. Cowboy says that he feels Diane has always wanted him out when Drew tells him that the twins are going this week.

Julie talks with Nik in the HOH room. She reminds her that the other houseguests can't hear what she is saying. After A won the veto and you decided to put up Michael. She says it was extremely difficult to put her half brother up on the block, but she spoke with him and he was okay with it and upon me speaking with all the houseguests she felt that he was safe. Julie brings up that she put Adria and Nat on the block because they went back on a promise and you promised Michael and how do you justify the decision. I had some reservations with Drew and I spoke with him and he was fine with it. Julie asks how she would feel if her plan backfired and Cowboy was evicted? Nik says that if that happened she would have been double crossed by nearly everyone in the house and she would be alone and most likely joining him next week.

Julie goes to the Diary Room to see how the others are feeling. Adria says that Natalie is real. What you see is what you get. Karen says that Natalie lied and admitted that he has lied. Adria says that Cowboy is an all around a great guy and is there for people who are down. Karen says that Cowboy is a snitch and pretty much crawls up the butt of anyone who will make him feel protected. Adria says Natalie is her sister and her best friend and she feels like she has really been protecting her. Karen says that when Adria was in power Natalie was in power. You can take the strongest alliance that BB has ever seen and now weave in something that is unbeatable.

Julie says plotting, scheming, backstabbing, life in the BB house and life in Genoa City. America made it's choice and it was close. Names are eliminated until it is Marvin, who says that after all the bad things that have happened to him this is great! He says he has never cried tears of joy, but he is now. He is hugging everyone. He says it is shocking and amazing and it is the first time he has cried at all in about ten years. He leaves with his bag through the backyard and he says that he is a huge fan Y&R. He says that living in the house is not like being on television, it is like living with crazy people and being with real stars, he isn't going to know how to act. He is taken by limo to the set where he is greeted by Melody Thomas Scott, who plays Nikki Newman on the show. He says he is around a new chick and he is happy to be hanging out with Melody Scott Thomas. He says "Got it" as many ways as he can. He says that this lovely lady is trying to make him pretty and when she finishes he will look like Brad Pitt, Brad Barbeque Pitt. Back at the house Cowby is looking desolute and says yeah, it is the experience of a lifetime when Nik says he deserves it. Marvin meets Michelle Stafford and goes to the gym. He meets Christian LeBlanc and he is excited to get a scene with her. Victoria Rowell asks him over to her set. He says that he has been locked up with skinny white women for too long. They tease him that he might have an emmy in his future. Marvin says that he is going to play a gym attendant. He says that today a gym attendant, tomorrow, who knows. He met the whole cast, so who knows? He returns home and says that they all greeted him with hey Marvin. The houseguests are shown his scene. He thanks the public for their voting. The show will air this Monday, Aug 30. Marvin received 25.7% and Drew received 24.3% of the vote. Marvin thanks the Y&R staff and Julie says that he did a great job. Drew says to be second was a real gift and he thanks his fans. Michael says that he is a good sport and he was a big fan of the Y&R and there may be some opportunities for him outside of the house. Karen says that Marvin had a lot of fun outside of the house. I believe that the sensory deprivation they are all experiencing in the house and then you go outside and there is all that hustle and bustle and new faces as compared to their sorry old faces inside the house.

Drew says that keeping CB around in the game is crucial to him because of the trust that can keep them together longer in this game. Diane says she can't stand that Cowboy won't take a risk in the game about anything except for kissing people's butts. Marvin you have to be careful about Natalie. As far as he knows the twins have mental telepathy. Diane says that she can't walk around this house without Natalie telling her she loves her and she cares about me. Michael is like a snake, you can't tell him anything without him running back to the twins to tell them.

Julie moves on to Will. Last week Will became the first on the jury and he is living in solitude in the BB house (in what looks to be Cabo San Lucas) and Will says it is beautiful. He says it is a long way from LA. He says it was sensory overload. He says that this beauty is absolutely overwhelming. The sand between his toes and the waves against his leg. He touches the cool stone and says that this is cold, dirty, rock hard, the perfect place for Adria to sleep and he says that he has a perfect place for Natalie over there. He points to a stone patch on the other side of the patio. He says that he would rather be in the house, but he has a job to do as a jury member. He says that nature is few and far between. He says that this is the perfect location to center himself and figure out what he has to do and being alone is great.

Michael says that he wants to thank God and April, Chason, and Rick and Judy. He says that Natalie is a friend, a sister in the game and this is not a goodbye but will see you later. His motto is that if you want something in your life you have to work for it. He says that we all had a dream to be on this show and if he leaves tonight he will not have one friend, but thirteen. Natalie says that she couldn't be sitting on the block against a better person and they have a friendship that will last forever. She hopes she gets to play as Natalie in the house for another week. She gets in a birthday hello in to April and an aniversary wish for Adria and her husband Lenny, as their sixth aniversary. She also thanks her husband Breck for his support in her being there. She hopes that the houseguests will see her as an asset in the game and someone who will help them in the game. Julie announces that it is voting time.

Karen's close friend Will was evicted. Will she vote in revenge? She votes to evict Natalie.
Marvin, who was voted to stay in the house by Adria and Natalie may owe them for the support. Will he return the favor? How will he vote? He votes to evict Natalie.
Adria votes to evict Michael.
Diane blames Adria and Natalie's support to evict her friend Will, but she also has long wished to see Michael leave the house. How will she vote? She votes to evict Natalie.
Drew has an allegiance to the four horsemen, but he also has an alliance with the twins. He votes to evict Natalie.
The votes are in and Natalie is evicted from the Big Brother house with a vote of 4-1.

The voting is revealed to Natalie. By a vote of 4-1 Natalie, you are evicted from the Big Brother house. She gets hugs from each person in the house, even Nik, who hangs back and is approached by Natalie for a hug. Her sister is clearly upset and crying, but Natalie keeps the smile on her face. Cowboy gives her her bag and gives her a hug and her last words are "God Bless you all." There is laughter as she leaves, but I don't see from who. Natalie says hi to Julie and tells her she is hanging in there. Karen hugs Adria and they are both tearing up. Diane is talking in the background and Karen says that it is hard to compete with you girls. Natalie says that she feels that they can't overcome seeing her and Adria as one. Natalie hears from Marvin and he says he really cared about her. Cowboy says that he loves her. Karen says that she felt really close to her. Diane says that she was close to her and it was hard but she wasn't sure who was who. Nik says that she broke the pinky swear and so that is why she is gone. Drew says that she is like the sister he doesn't have and he is going to miss her. Adria has teared up and is saying that without her she wouldn't be in the house. Natalie says that she hopes with her gone that her sister, may be given the chance she deserves to play herself in the house and be the person she is. Natalie talks about going to the sequester house and about her job of thinking it all out for her final vote for the winner of BB. Natalie will be on the House Calls talk show tomorrow.

Tonight's HOH comp is a miniature golf game. The object is to putt the ball up a hill and get it into the hole. Marvin says that it is important for him to win the HOH this week. Drew says that if he wins HOH he is going to have to choose sides at this point. The game is Putting for Power and in groups of three they have to sink a putt and have it go all the way to the bottom. The finalists get to putt for sixty seconds and the one with the most wins HOH. Michael wins on the first try. It was Michael, Diane, and Drew. The second group is Adria, Karen, and Marvin. Marvin wins from group number two. Now it is Marvin and Cowboy who will putt for sixty seconds to sink as many putts as possible. Marvin has one at the 32 sec point. CB has one, Marvin gets another, Marvin has three, Marvin has four. Marvin wins HOH with four balls sunk in the holes.

August 24, 2004 - Episode 21

Nik is shown in a recap of her nomination ceremoney where she puts up both Natalie and Adria. Jennifer says that she nominated them because they both broke promises to her. Adria, Will, Karen, and Nik made a pinky swear to protect herself. Diane says that both of the twins are laughing and she fails to see what was so funny. Natalie said that she never pinky sweared with Will and Nik says that her story didn't match up. Marvin asks CB who he wants out and Marvin says he likes Adria and CB says that he likes both of them. Marvin says that Adria has a better disposition and Natalie has too much testosterone. Jennifer goes to them and says that they both broke a prominse to her and that means that if they broke it once they will break it again. The twins say that Will is like Charles Manson. They go to Diane and Natalie tells her that she didn't pinky swear with Will and Diane says to the DR that Natalie is the bad twin. Diane is pressed on committing herself to the team and Diane says she is alone in the house right now and generally avoids any kind of committment. Nik is watching on the spy screen and says that even with no audio it tells the story and if she wants to be a bad player that is her choice. Adria goes to Diane and Drew and asks if they will use the veto if they play for it. Diane asks that if they get the veto what should they do? Adria says that she asks if they get it that they use it. She says she doesn't care on which one, just that if it is won, it must be used. Adria says that you can sit back or play veto and use it or not play. Diane says that the way that Adria goes into the conversation was pretty straightforward. She wanted her to commit to using it if she played and won it. She presses Drew and he promises when Adria reminds him that with it he can't be put up anyway.

Nik brings in the rules for a luxury competition and the houseguests go outside to a spider web with huge balls containing letters in it. They need to retrieve and unscramble all the balls they will win an Amazon Shopping Spree. If they accomplish the task in three min or less they win all 18 items, but for every 30 secs they are late they lose an item. The houseguest to do it in the shortest time, they win a thousand dollar personal shopping spree in addition to the group win. Drew goes in and takes one for the team by pushing balls closer to each other. Diane eases through the ropes to get a ball. Karen gets a ball. Jennifer gets her ball, Adria gets her ball. Marvin goes in and he digs through the maze to find his ball. Cowboy gets his ball and then Adria gets her ball. Drew says after they got through they couldn't spell and they spelled internet. They took an extra two minutes so get to shop for 14 items. Michael with 21 secs, second place Adria with 17 secs and Diane won with 16 secs. They return to the house and in the HOH room the spy screen was rigged to let them shop. They got the firebin and steaks, eliptical exerciser, and a volleyball set for the water.

The twins talk to Diane to see if she is in on the alliance. Diane says that if she gets to play would she use it and Diane says probably. Diane says that they are looking for people to play for them who will save them. Diane says that if they are getting mroe definite answers from other people then they should go to them. They confront her and she says that the twins are making her very uncomfortable and she is saying things she wouldn't normally say. They ask her if she is committed to the team or to someone else. Diane tries to wiggle out of it, but the direct questions get to her and she gives less than honest answers. Diane is shaking from the confrontation.

Marvin says that there are boxes everywhere and they have coctail sauce, steaks, a firepit, and Marvin says that they need to cremate Holly's cat since it was such bad luck. Marvin says that it turned from a white cat to a balck cat. Marvin says that he would schedule conferences around "The Young and the Restless." Cowboy says that the show needs a sexy cowboy like himself. He and Marvin go on a duel. Cowboy gives Karen a kiss and then Marvin kisses her in a duel for the part on Y&R. Marvin says that he knows all the characters and never schedules a conference between 11:30 and 1:00.

Cowboy and Drew sit on the patio and talk strategy. Drew asks what he is going to do with the veto comp coming up. Cowboy says that he feels comfortable with the twins and when Drew talks with CB CB says that his feeling is that he is safe with the twins. He says that they will have his back and Drew's too. Drew presents the thought of who will go up and CB says even if they do go up they will be safe going against a twin. He seems very astounded that Drew is worried but Drew thinks it is a poker game with very risky stakes. CB says, "Going up against a twin? You don't have to worry." Drew says that he is scared. Cowboy says he isn't going to worry if he does go up. He is safe and has the votes to stay.

Veto competition and Nik picks Marvin. Drew is chosen by Adria and he has promised to save her. Natalie picks Cowboy. They go outside and see the ominous morph-o-matic and they have to choose three names that make up the face. The first face is Nik, Holly, and Scott. The second face is Karen, Michale, and Mike. The third face is Scott, Will, Lori. The next is Marvin, Lori, Diane. The next is Jase, Holly, Drew. The final one was Mike, Twins, Jase. Marvin says that some of the people look like monster people. He says that anything that you mix with Mike is uglier than homemade sin. Natalie comes out and does well she thinks. Drew does it in a slower time and Karen says that they boys in the house are at a disadvantage because they don't look at faces the way girls do. Cowboy is not so fast and he says that he loses a lot of time in the last one. Diane says that there are props to CB for getting it in less than half an hour. He did it in 14 min. Karen is the host Michael in 14:19, Marvin 11:15, Natalie 6:43, Drew in 7:35, Adria 4:40, Nik in 7:12. Adria wins the golden POV. The look on Nik's face as priceless says Natalie. Diane says that no one was happy about it and she says she will try to be nice. The twins talk and Adria is torn between using it for her sister and her sister tells her that she can win more than her and she is doing great so she needs to use it on herself. She says that Drew can't go against CB and you can't expect him to, so if people are gunning for you I will see you sooner than later anyway. Jennifer talks to Diane and Karen about who to put up. Diane asks, "Drew?" Jennifer says that if Marvin goes up as a decoy it leaves both CB and Drew to vote. But, if they don't put Marvin up, can they get his vote or will he vote out Drew to break up the Diane/Drew thing? Karen says that Marvin is smart enough to know that the twins are two for one at HOH, veto, and votes and he will want them out more. Nik says that out of respect to the bloodline she can't put up Michael.

Adria says that she and Nat came here together and she has to make the decision of who is the best player in the house. Diane says that she can either save herself, or her sister. Adria asks Natalie to plead her case to the other veto holder. Natalie says that this is a tool that gives a second chance, and I welcome the power of veto and if I was in the same situation I know that it would be a tough situation to be in. Adria says that last week she wanted to use the veto but it was not wanted, but this week it is wanted by two people. She wishes that there was two to use but there is only one. She says that her actions have been reflected in Natalie anyway and if they don't want to give her a chance this week then they wouldn't be giving her a chance in the future. She says she will stay in the house and that she chooses to use it on herself. She tells Nik that it is her option to put another person on the block now. Nik stands up and says that since she is forced to put someone up, she is going to put up Cowboy because she thinks he is the safest person to put up and that he has nothing to worry about. Marvin is happy not to be put up but in the diary room he says that there is always something to worry about and he just might go.

To find out who won the role in "They Young and The Restless" and who will be evicted, tune in on Thursday.

August 21, 2004 - Episode 20

Will is livid after being evicted by Adria's tie breaking vote even though he was voted out by Drew and Cowboy as well as Natalie. He states that the twins have sunk to a low. Adria says that she was put on the spot and she is glad that the decision was hers to make. Marvin says that the tension could be cut with a butter knife. Natalie says that being cut by him is something he better feel comfortable with since it is not something he can undo. Marvin says that he is amazed that he is still here. Drew says that for Will to have to go is a reminder that this is a game. Adria says that she is glad they weren't put in that position and she got to do it herself. Marvin thought that the whole week was a ruse to get him out of the game. Diane says that he had better say goodbye to your twins to Drew. Diane says that she is upset because Will is out of this house. Drew says that it is crucial to him to not make any mistakes and to stay out of the doghouse. Drew says that he made the decision that he had to make. Diane is clearly upset that she didn't control Drew's vote. Adria is confused by the word Kharma. Nik gets HOH and Adria asks Marvin if he could go four times. Drew says that it might be Cowboy and Natalie feels that with Nik on the block she may be nominated. Drew says that twins have their own little language and they don't have to say much. Diane says that twins don't have to speak to each other really, they have twenglish. Drew says that when Adria and Natalie talk they have the same thought process. Scenes show them shortcutting in language.

Nik reviews the pinky swear and says that Adria owes her a pinky since she broke the promise. Diane says that Cowboy is number one on her hitlist and he better watch it. Nik says that this week she is not worried about making enemies.

Food comp is a formal dinner. Underneath the covers in front of them is their favorite meals. All you have to do is finish all your favorite foods in three minutes or less. Fail and it is pbj for the day. Nik says as HOH she can't play, but she will share in their fate, win or lose. Marvin is delighted by his meal. Cowboy, bring yours here. This summer is all about twists. Instead of eating your meal, you will have to drink it. Food smoothies. Nik will blend it. CB says that is is marvelous, just tasty. Every person plays for a day and if they succeed they all get food on that day. Cowboy finishes his in time. Marvin's was lobster tail, lime, corona, shrimp with tails and it didn't blend well. Chewing took time and he didn't make it. Adria had fetticini alfredo with wine and she did it. Drew had steamed broccoli and filet mignon and baked potato and he made it. Karen had diet coke, bean burrito and a chocolate taco and she made it. Karen says that she is tough. Natalie had a Filet mignon, a taco and she made it. Diane made it too. They eat every day but Saturday. Houseguests are very pleased to see a stocked storeroom. Drew who has been on pbj for two weeks is eagerly exploring the storeroom with Marvin.

Nik is showing off her HOH room and she has fritos, letters, cheese-its, and pictures of Donald. Everyone says that he is cute, hot, and Nik says that on the back of her CD covers is the lyrics to the song. Marvin looks at the CD cover and tells the DR that the idea of a dead chicken as art for a girlfriend doesn't quite make it for him. CB thinks that Drew is holding back in his kisses for Diane. CB says that they aren't feeling it and so they need to practice a bit and then come back and show him. Drew says that Diane an't kiss. She likes to kiss and stop and kiss and stop and he is the kind of guy who likes to keep it going. He also says that he likes a bit more tongue action. Drew says he is the better kisser between him and Diane. She says that she can't be a bad kisser. He is giving her lessons.

Adria is giving exercise lessons and only Cowboy is taking them. Diane says that CB looks dumb taking the lessons. The rest just watch him. Adria says that Michael hasn't yet connected with his total coordination skills. He says that the girls about kilt him. The table in the kitchen got smaller and they are looking for a difference, but no one gets it for a long while and finally Cowboy sees the little table. Nik says that the new table is very small. She says that you used to have to yell and use carrier pigeons and send smoke signals and now you can whisper.

Natalie talks to Nik and says that she would love to stay and not be nominated today and that she is not out to get her or anything. Voting Will out had nothing to do with Nik, but was related to Will only. Nik asks Nat if she voted Will out or was it just annoyance? Nat says that she voted Will out but her original intentions were to vote Marvin out until Will told her that he could not tell her that he would keep her safe or that she was a part of their group, and with no support from him she decided that she had no choice if he was not with her in any way. Nik was civil but says that she shouldn't have done what was best for her but what was best for the house.

Adria asks what that smell is in their room? Drew says that Marvin has smelling feet. Diane says that you can smell Marvin's feet from across the house and from the back yard. Marvin is in the concrete room by himself and Diane says that she is shocked that he doesn't scare the women away with those feet.

The twins talk about Nat's visit to Nik. Adria goes to Nik and says that she respects whatever decision that she makes. Why did you choose Will? I chose him because he was the safest decision in the house, but when it came time to vote, I had found out that he was going to go after me, so I went with the sure thing rather than the unknown.

Nik does nominations. Adria says that most difficult part is for her to be looking out for Natalie. Cowboy says that he doesn't feel safe this week. Drew says he is on the hitlist cause he is on the opposite side of the game. Nik says she has oil burning fire. In a sterile environment like this people's flaws stick out and it is an easy decision to put up people who have irritated you the most. She says the people she is putting up have bitten her and the dog will not bite her again. She calls the houseguests in. All the decisions I made were because of how I feel personally and I reveal why after. She draws out Marvin's key. Marvin pulls out Drew's key. Drew pulls out Diane's key. Diane pulls out Karen's key. Karen pulls out Cowboy's key. Natalie and Adria are nominated. The twins nod and shake their heads. Nik tells the group, "I nom'd Nat and Adria this week and I made this decision because you two have broken a promise we have made to each other and I stayed true to my promises to put out anyone who did and that is why I put you two up. Same reason for both of you so I don't have to repeat myself. This nomination ceremony is adjourned." Cowboy says that this week we have the most competitive people up on the block and they will fight for themselves. Diane says that if either of them get the pov she will use it on herself, and she doesn't care which of them goes as long as one of them does. Nik says that she will work to get them both out. It is her revenge.

August 19, 2004 - Episode 19

Adria puts up Will and Marvin and everyone is mad with her. Diane plays both sides and says that they are deceiving everyone, but continues to talk to the twins. Marvin and Will stand strong at the veto meeting and Adria doesn't remove either of them. Marvin says he won't kiss anyone's ass to get off the block. Tonight is the first live vote.

Julie welcomes us to day 49 at the BB house. Adria shocks the house with her nominations. The house is divided and although she has promised her loyalty to the twins she is playing both sides. Diane says that she is in two alliances. She worries that Drew stayed in HOH for an extra 45 min when she left. Diane says that she doesn't know who to trust or believe in the house. Diane says she sees Marvin and Natalie in the kitchen and they split like cockroaches in the night. Diane runs to Will, Karen, and tells them. She finally goes to Marvin and asks him what was going on and he tells her he doesn't know. She says that she likes everyone and she doesn't know who to trust. Diane says that she doesn't trust Drew and she can't be stuck between two burgs. She doesn't know who to put up. Drew grins when she tells Natalie that she wants to be put up next week. Natalie says that she is playing both sides, and others are seeing it.

Julie asks Karen what life is like without Jase in the house. Clean and not sticky. Diane, how has it been the second week in a row on PB&J. She says she knew that would be the question.
What is the most useful fashion advice you got from your housemates? CB says that it is clean shaven with the hair stuck up in the air.
Nik, what would you do for a day in the outside world. My right arm. One of you will win a chance to leave the house and appear on the daytime drama, "The Young and The Restless." It is America's Choice and one of you will be the winner.

Karen says that Will and Marvin on the block together is playing psychological hell with her. Karen could continue without Will but she wouldn't want to. It is the ugliest nominations the house has seen.
Drew says that if he keeps Will in another week, he would keep the trust of Will, Nik, Karen.

Will and his friends in NYC. Will is a New Yorker at heart and thrives in the city says friend Carolyn. Will is walking drama and hilarity and life with will is non-stop entertainment. He likes to combine different clothing and he pulls stuff off. He can be the alpha male straight man or the alternative girl or the cowboy and in a lot of respects that is a quintessential NY'er. Kara says that he is a wonderful person. He friends get together to watch the show each week. Adria's nominating Will makes them say she is evil. They says that they like Marvin and Will hasn't been threatened too much and he knows what he wants and will get it. His friends say he has the ability to stick it out till the end, but she misses him and wants him home.

Adria is in the HOH. You nominated Will and Marvin and how hard was it to make this decision. I thought that I had such a strong team behind me and I was expecting them to trust and respect my decision. I was surprised by the reactions. It has revealed to me that their support for me would not be there in the future.

Diane says Marvin is pretty upset with those twins. She says that she loves Will. Nik says that Marvin is willing to work for the good of the team. She says that Will will sacrifice himself for the team. It is hard to trust Marvin because you don't know where he is playing. CB says that Will is in a huge alliance and taking him out would be good for the game.

The live vote is now. Tonight's evicted HG has an important responsibility. First jury member. Will speaks, I would like to thank my family and friends, I have felt your support all along. To my housemates, this has been an enlightning and engaging experience. Marvin, family I love you, I don't have to tell you that every week. Ladies if you vote Will out, I will be gay for a day, Ohweee, I love Brad Pitt. You are NOT allowed to reveal your vote to any of your housemates.
Michael has wanted Marvin out of the house for a long time, but he has become close to the twins recently. Michael votes to evict Will.
Karen formed an alliance with Will the first week. She has been close to Nik and Will since the beginning. I vote to evict Marvin.
Nik was one of the twins supporters when they entered the house, but she has a strong alliance with Will and Karen. I vote to evict Marvin.
Natalie's vote is crucial to her stay in the house. I vote to evict Will.
Drew is a man caught in the middle between Diane's romance and Adria's influence. Drew votes to evict Will.
Diane votes to evict Marvin.
It is a tie vote. Adria has to cast the deciding vote. Adria states, "This has been an incredible week, no doubt about it. The friendship I have endured with you guys I hope to continue outside the house. I tossed a coin in my head because I didn't know who to choose since neither of you would talk to me. I evict to choose, um, I choose to evict Will from the house today." Will hugs Karen and tells her that he loves her. Cowboy gives him a hug and Will reaches out to hug Drew. He tells Nik that he loves her and hugs her. He walks with Diane and gives her a hug. He hugs everyone but Marvin, Natalie, and Adria. Natalie reaches out to him and he walks back and says, "Sorry." To Adria as he turns the handle on the door, he says, "If kharma is a boom-a-rang I will see you sooner than later." He wouldn't let her hug him. He clearly gives her a cut direct.

Drew is standing there very quietly and Adria faces the group with a comment that I didn't get, but it was something to the effect that the choice was left to her and she thinks that the house will be a better place for them in a few days. No one responds to her.

Will tells Julie that he thinks Adria has proved herself to be untrustworthy. He says that they made a pinky swear to watch each other's backs and he fought very hard for her when she was up on the block. She then turns around and nominates me after assuring me that I was safe. I am very confused. Will says that both she and her sister knew that they had taken themselves to a low and therefore had to get him out of the house because he knew it. He is clearly upset and wanting vengeance. He says that he learned a lot in the house about character. Julie asks who was worse, Jase or Adria and he clearly says, "Adria."

Diane says, "Will I hope that you are not watching this right now, because if you are I am not sitting in your lap. Marvin says, "You have been one of my best friends in the house. I have learned a lot from you, and I am going to miss you." Cowboy says, "You are a great person and I am honored that we got to meet." Drew says that it was in his best interest to make the pinky swear alliance a bit smaller. Karen says that she is going to harbor some hard core anger. You did nothing wrong and were treated badly. When Adria's tape comes on, Will put his arms up and avoided watching it.

HOH competition:
Who said it? Jase, Mike, Holly, Scott, Lori. Answers are based on questions asked before they entered the house. Last player standing will be HOH. Who said comfort item from home missed the most is their puppy dog? Jase. The correct answer is Jase. CB and Natalie are out. Who said their bad habit is shopping when they are broke? Holly. Who said they pamper themselves by buying stuff at K-Mart. Mike. Marvin, Karen, Drew are eliminated. They don't have a favorite author because they don't read. Scott, both are still in. The thing they dislike the most about their appearance is that their booty is too big for their body? Holly, both wrong. Their most embarassing job was to dress up as a chicken at their dad's job. Scott. Both wrong. Least favorite activity is shopping? Jase, both wrong. Tiebreaker round. Closest without going over is HOH. If both over, closest is winner. Number of pounds of M&M's were used. Nik says 500 and Diane says 400. Nik wins, the answer is 900 pounds. Power in the house has shifted again. Nik is HOH again, and who will she nominate? And on Saturday, who will win and will they use the Golden Power of Veto?

Inside the house they talk of the last question and how they figured it out. Both were way off. Natalie stands with her finger at her mouth and Adria is shunned. Both look uncomfortable.

August 17, 2004 - Episode 18

The house is in an uproar over Adria's nominations. Marvin says he has a problem with the asinine speech she gave over him and Will pretty much echoes his sentiments. Will says, "Shock and all, Marvin and my keys were not in the box." Will says, "Hey, the black and the gay!" Marvin says in the DR that he fought to keep Adria in the house and this is the way she repays him. Nik says that in their team they are supposed to talk before they make a decision. Will says that he lost his appetite and walks off, then comes back and says that he didn't mean to be passive aggressive, but it was a shock to him. Adria says that "One of them asked for him to put up. I didn't do it because of that, but I did it because something came to me and believe me, you are going to be safe." Will says in the DR that all his suspicions have come to light and if he gets HOH she had better watch her back. Nik asks her privately, "Why Will? It was a shock to everybody. A lot of people were nervous because you didn't spread the word around." Adria says that they need to let things settle, and Nik tells her that they need to talk! She tells her that they haven't talked since the two Adrias and Adria asks, "Why?" Nik says because of the shock that was pulled on us.

Diane and Drew are close and Will says that they grow closer and closer as the day goes on. He thinks that Diane's feelings are true, but you don't know with Drew. They do lots of snuggling and kissing.

Adria goes to Marvin and Marvin refers to the time he defended her to Jase when Jase went off on her. He also says that he has no alliance in the house, no pair to be paired off with. He asks Adria if the Bible told her to put him up and she says she relied on her faith and when he presses her she says, "Yeah, if my faith is involved, yeah." In the DR he says that she put up the black and the gay guy cause Jesus told her to, and makes remarks.

Will says that Drew is paranoid about body hair. He shaves everywhere. Karen says that he shaves off all his body hair. Diane whispers that she can't believe he shaves his body hair, everywhere.

The veto competition is A Christmas Gift Steal. They had to choose a box set and then show the veto points on one of the two gifts. Then next player can either steal the veto gift or choose a new gift. The play continues but only Adria steals a gift. They add up the vetos and Adria is ahead. The next stage of the game is to choose a stocking off the mantle and they find out that two of the stockings have neat gifts attached, two have 10 veto votes, and two have a lose it all card. Will wins an MP3 player, Drew wins a digital camera with sound, and Adria wins 10 more veto points. Marvin wins 10 vetos and Diane and CB lose it all. Adria wins power of veto with a total of 31 veto points. Marvin says that there isn't enough twists in the game to keep him in it. Will says that after all she has done, he hopes she is sensible enough to leave everything the way it is standing.

Adria approaches Marvin and offers to talk. Marvin says that they are all down with Will and he knows that Will was the pawn. Marvin says that he stood up for Adria and she says that she is listening. He says that she stabbed him in the back. He says that he isn't going to ask for her to use the veto. Adria goes to the cloud room and announces that neither nominee wants off the block so everyone can vote the way they want and she will be the tie breaker if they need that. This is the way it is. Will and Marvin get together outside and say that they would rather go home than ask her to remove them from the block and Marvin hollars, "Did you hear that hillbilly girl?" Adria did hear it in the kitchen.

The group has a luxury competition for a movie, "Without a Paddle" and snacks. Two members of the three member team have to put a puzzle together, made of red carpet pieces and then the third member of the team has to run down to the giant bowl of M&M's and find the golden M&M in the bowl. The teams are Drew, Diane, and Will, Marvin, Karen, and Cowboy, and Natalie, Adria, and Nik. Drew, Diane and Will win by a mile and get their movie. They got the movie and really enjoyed it. They said that it felt really normal. They thought that the movie was awesome and to get out of the everyday grind of the game was great. They loved escaping from the game.

Adria says that her position with the power of veto is crucial. If she disturbs the situation she risks making further enemies. Will says that adversity breeds character and whether he is bedded down in the cloud room with his bedmates or clasping hands with Julie Chen he is fine with it. He says that he has come to care about the other members of the house and leaves the decision in their hands. Marvin says that since she has used her Bible to put him up, he wouldn't want to tempt fate, so he will trust the fine people of the house who he has come to care for to decide his fate. "It's been real, it's been fun, but it ain't been real fun." He says he didn't come here to hang out, but to win the game. Marvin says to the DR that she stabbed him in the back and if he is here next week he wants them up on the block. Will, in the DR says that her and her spawn will be up next week if he is here next week. He says that she and her sister are as bad as Jase. Nik says basically the same thing. Adria says she will leave it to the houseguests to vote and calls the meeting over. In the DR she says that it may end up being Adria's week, with her choosing who is going to leave.

Eviction and new HOH on Thursday.

Diane and Marvin acted as decoys when placed on the block by Nik, and Drew turned on Jase and took Diane off, which allowed Nik to put Jase up. Jase tried a bit of reverse psychology that didn't work and he was out. Adria wins HOH in a shuffleboard game and celebrates her win.

Diane walks him to the door and in retrospect, she says she wanted to lock the door behind him. The hg clap and cheer when he leaves, and Will says that words cannot describe the sheer elation they feel. Karen says that they are purged of Jase. Nat asks what the clapping was all about and Will says that he will sleep easy tonight. Drew tells CB that he made his decision based on what people had to do, but CB says that he went on honor and we were supposed to be man of our words, but he wasn't. CB says that he doesn't understand, he felt like this for awhile but didn't tell him? Drew says that he didn't like the way Jase played the game. CB says it would be sweet revenge to take Drew out of the house.

Natalie says that it is huge for her sister to play the game. Nik says that this will be Will, Karen, and Nik said it was a good win, but it will help her show her face. Will says that he thinks he is safe and Karen says that she feels uncomfortable. A says that she is comfortable with Diane and Drew, and of course her sister, but the rest need to watch their steps this week. As HOH she is happy to get Confessions by Usher and a picture of Lenny and her mom, as well as her treats. Marvin feels like he won the big 6 in the lottery when he saw her music.

Adria and CB talk, and he says that he gave her his word that he would not vote her out and he didn't. He wants to know who she is going to put up and she tells him that she hasn't decided, but he feels the final four should be the twins, CB and Nik. He gives her his word on it. They hint at Marvin. Diane comes to Adria and says that she and Drew are happy with it. Diane says that the looks that Nik, Will, and Karen gave them were the same looks as the guys gave them when they won. Diane says that CB is good and may be useful. Adria has to make the decision tomorrow on who to put up. Diane says that they are in the cloud room and Nik along with Will say to her, "Who do you think they'll nominate?" Adria says, "Who do think THEY'LL nominate? My whole life I have dealt with that." Karen says to DR that she saw the power when Natalie walked in." She tells Adria nothing, but complains to DR that that Adria is not playing on a team since she says she is going to have to make the decision, and then when Adria asks her, she says that whatever decision she makes is fine and for the good of the team. Will, Nik, and Karen all complain that she is not consulting them, when Adria has just asked several of them for information regarding who they want to go. Adria says to her sister that Will may be one to put up, because Karen is going to be a basket case for the entire week. Nat asks her if she is going to tell them ahead of time and Adria says, "No, shock, shock."

Nik and Diane talk about the big bang and an anti black hole, so if the universe is just a black hole and an anti black hole, what is on the other side of the it, could there be parallel universes, and a planet that is a mirror of Earth? Diane nods, says someone should study that, fascinating. Drew is concerned about his food and says that he is hoping to be able to eat next week. For the food challenge they choose Drew, Diane, Natalie, and Marvin to be on one team, CB, Will, Nik, and Karen on the other. The competition is food stations to build hamburgers in Backyard Burger Bonanza where they will win food for the team and a grill. They choose teams, CB and Nat are the bun chatchers for their teams. Grillmasters are Marvin and Nik, Garnishers are Karen and Diane, Condiments are Will and Drew. The goal is to make as many burgers as possible, toss them with their feet on the red squares. They wore swimwear. Marvin says that eating pb&j is bad news. Karen was nervous about CB being the catcher cause he just didn't always remember the rules. They build burgers. Adria says that she has to remove incomplete burgers. The red team made ten burgers and the blue team made 11 burgers. Marvin, Drew, Diane, and Natalie are on PB&J. Marvin says that he hates losing and he hates particularly to lose to the team he lost to. Will says they won fair and square and they can just lick it up.

The other night in the HOH they were having fun with the spy screen and played truth or daqre. They did some wild things, with CB mooning them. They dared Will to wear Natalie's thong and they did a dirty dancing. Nik says that if they guys get involved her brother will get naked. The comments abound on Diane's tanning. Marvin says that the girl is so tan that he can almost take her home. Will says she is a tanarexic. She says she just wears colors that bring it back.

Will says that he thinks he is going, and Marvin says that he thinks it is him and CB. Will says that he values his presence in the house, appreciates his cooking and that Marvin thinks he is safe with him. Marvin says that without Will in the house he won't have anyone to talk to unless he can talk macrame to the chicks. Nat and A talk and say that they can put Will up, but this is not the only house in the game now and they have to work to build it, and who would she want to be the number one juror in the jury house to speak bad things and poison everybody's minds? Would I want Marvin there to say bad things? Will talks about how it is so imortant to her to be a team when she is on the block, but now? Will says that with Adria in power it is all about Adria and he feels that they could be seeing the next Jase in power.

Nominations- Marvin says that he never worries about nominations because number one everything everyone tells me is a lie and number two, I am nominated every week. Will says he feels safe, but he could end up on the block. CB says that he gets nervous every week. Diane says that she can care less about the ceremony because she knows she is safe. Karen says that it goes on every week. Adria says that she is led by a very important power in her life to make this decision today. She has to put up two people. She has had an opportunity to be with these people and each player is a key player component in playing as a team. She hands out the first key to Nik who thanks her. Nik hands the key to Drew. Drew hands the key to Natalie who hands the key to Cowboy. Cowboy hands the key to Karen. After thanking Adria, Karen hands the key to Diane. Will and Marvin are nominated. Marvin, you are an awesome guy and the way you pulled together for the house was awesome. Marvin says thank you and asks if he can still listen to Usher. Adria says, "Yeah, you can do that." He tells the DR that she stabbed him in the back and he knew she was a spineless wonder. She tells Will that it is his time to stand up and shine and show more than those fabulous arms. Adria says, "I think it is time for people in this house to stand up and fight and this is the time for both Marvin and Will to stand up and show what they are made of. Who is going to go? I don't know."

Who will win Power of Veto? Will it be used? Tune in on Tuesday.

August 12, 2004 - Episode 16

Julie greets us and tells us that Jase and Marvin, the mortician from SC are up for eviction. After winning the golden pov, Drew uses it on Diane and Nik puts Jase up, breaking up the alliance of the 4Horsemen. Drew looks thoughtfully at the box and Jase is very angry because Drew said he would never use it and now he has sent us packing. Jase says that he let CB down and that if he never got involved with them he would be okay. Jase says that Diane is a b** and that he feels betrayed by Drew. CB says the same thing and that he wouldn't go back on his word. We hear Jase and Diane go at each other and Jase tells her that Drew will not want her out of this house. She calls on Drew to support her, and he tells her that Jase says the same thing to him. CB asks why Drew went back on his word and that there is honor and he has been honorable. CB asks Drew if he made a deal with them. Jase says that he is worried about CB in the house. He also tries to use reverse psychology, saying his mother used it on him. He goes to Karen and asks her to vote him out.

Julie asks Drew how he is faring this week. Drew says that he made decisions based on his cuddle buddy and he hopes that Jase stays in the house. Natalie asks how her week has been. Natalie says that getting to know the houseguests as Natalie and playing as herself is a real relief. With Scott gone, CB says that it is quiet and he will get to see him once he is out of the house.

CB says that it hurts to see Jase up on the block. Drew says that Jase stood with him when he was with him, but when he was not with him he worked behind his back. Natalie says that he corrupts real well. Will comments that Marvin is a strong player. Adria says that Marvin is very straight-forward and honest. Cowboy says, I think the four horsemen underestimated Marvin.

Last season on BB4 it was the ex-factor. What happened to these couples? Jun and Jee, Robert and Erika, Alison and Justin. Erika says that it was so nice to take a chower alone. She doesn't miss the house but she misses some of the houseguests. She keeps in touch with Jack. Robert says that without BB he wouldn't be on speaking terms with Erika and Erika says that she has forgiven him. Robert says that Justin is going to move out there to live with him and he talks to Jee monthly. Justin says that he is a U of Pitt grad and is moving out to live with Robert. Justin says that he saw Alison on AR5 and watching Donnie and Alison on AR was interesting. Alison says that she didn't too hot on the race, but it ended up breaking up her relationship. She says that she sent Nathan one email after the show as an apology, and Nathan wrote back one email saying fine, but he doesn't want to be friends. After the show Jun emailed Jee saying that he was a bigger man than he ever thought it would be. Jun says that she bought some prime real estate and her relationship with Jee is just what it was before the show. Jun says that after the show she learned that her dad was in a coma and he died. She was glad to have the money so that she could take off to deal with it. Robert says an ex would be easier than the DNA twists.

Nik is asked what it was like for her to be part of Michael's moment of seeing the pic of his dad and Jennifer says that she gave him the picture. She says that she would not put CB on the block, but given circumstances she could vote him out. She says that she put Jase out because he peed on stuff, caused problems, and acted badly.

Diane says that Marvin is the funniest person she has ever met. Karen says that Marvin defended her last week when Jase attacked her. She doesn't believe that Jase has ever spewed an ounce of truth. Diane says that Jase is probably the only other person other than her who will speak his mind no matter what.

Marvin according to his mother. She says that Marvin was a great child and never gave her any trouble. She thinks that Marvin is doing very well and when he won HOH it was just wonderful. He says that the most awesome part for him was the pic of his mother. She says that she was not proud of his comments on the women and some of the words he has spoken, well, he will get it from her when he gets home. When she sees Marvin on the block it breaks her heart.

Guys on the block speak:
Marvin says thank you and it has been nice knowing you, and teases Diane being an ex stripper. He thanks Will for the fashion advice. He plugs Halle Berry. Jase talks next. "Drew, you could have saved me and you didn't. I am a guy who vomited in the toilet to save a girl so I guess I can't say anything that you did. Diane we fight, but I have a parting gift, this damn ceramic cat, it brought me no luck, but maybe it will bring you luck. Will, thanks for the fashion advice, Cowboy, if the world was filled with more Cowboys, it would be a better place. I learned a lot from you. I am a better person for knowing you. Karen, you are going crazy! Nik, you are wise beyond your years. Twins, I hated you together, but I love you separately. Marvin, you are where I am, we are the slickest guys, and look where we are sitting right now."

The votes are in and Jase has been evicted 6-1. Cowboy is crying. Julie comments, "Jase you were one of the most powerful players in the house. What went wrong?" He says that he wanted to go crazy and go off the wall. He says that he wanted to have fun and attack the game in a different way. The alliance was ruined by a girl that got in the middle. Jase says that the girl came between him and Scott. Drew saved his bedmate, how do you feel? Jase says that he doesn't hold it against him, he had a crazy idea and ran with it as long as he could. He says that he doesn't regret calling Diane out. That was his plan. He says that Michael was a great guy and if he carried him to the final four, it wouldn't bother him to see Michael win. Michael says that he will do his best to get to the top two. Will says that he hopes he thinks about the way he conducted himself in the house and learns from it. He is glad for him to go. Karen says that she has one word, pffft. Diane says that he took her to her lowest low and the reason he is out of the house is her. Nik says that he should have gotten to know her, cause then she may not have devised a plan to get him out. Adria says that she is glad to see him go. Drew says that he is sorry but he had to go with the others, he had to look out for himself. He says it was ultimate betrayal. Holly is here tonight to greet him and bring him back to the outside world, and Jase asks if she was here to greet Scott. Holly says that he is the one she is totally close to. Holly says that they are definitely going to talk.

The HOH comp is a shuffleboard game. The game is to slide the puck to a curve and around a corner from the red section to the blue section to get it closest to the line. Puck closest will win. Adria got hers in the blue area and very close to the line. Karen is up and passes the line. Will does not make it to the blue area. Michael does not make it to the blue area. Natalie tries to beat her sister's mark and does not get it as close to the blue line as Adria. Drew is not as close as Adria. Diane didn't get over the blue line. Marvin does not make it to the line. Adria is the new HOH!!!!!!

Julie says a new HOH and a new struggle for power. What is in store for the new HOH? Adria says that it was a good challenge. Jennifer says to have fun with all your goodies and don't piss anybody off. Next week's evicted houseguest will be the first jury member of BB5. Going back to the house, one of the twins say that no one will sleep in Jase's bed until the sheets have been washed. They leave the show. Return to top

August 10, 2004 - Episode 15

Nik puts up Diane and Marvin in a six finger plan, meaning that they are going to "fix the noms" by using players from their team.

Jase says that he hit more buttons with Nik putting up Diane. Marvin says that Jase is going to be in shock when he figures out the fix is in. Diane says that she put her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing. The twins looked a bit like crying, and Drew says that he is in a position where he has to look after himself. Karen says the six finger plan has been tailor made to get rid of Jase. They are choosing the players from their team and then when Diane is taken off the block, Jase goes up with no chance for veto.

Jase says that he is meant to be there and he says that he talked with Nik and he probably has salvaged himself so that he will last a few more weeks. Jase says that he is BS'ing her. CB says that he has no clue who to trust in this game. He hopes he can trust Nik since they have a brother and sister relationship. CB and Jase talk and say that they want Diane gone. Jase says that he is not the general anymore, just one of the troops, but evil Jase is going to show up again.

Adria says that she doesn't think that the house has digested the fact that there are two of them in the house. She thinks that they are accepted for being each other. They talk about the hair used to cover a mole and scar. They play guess that twin and discuss who is here for what and and Adria says it is ridiculous, and they just can't remember who did what first because they weren't in the house together. Nik says that now they are so different and Adria is more rounded in features and Natalie has a smaller butt. Jenn recalls when things were different between then. Jase says that he never looked her in the face long enough to know. Diane says she is weirded out when she sees the two of them together and she is so mad at herself for not seeing them as twins with her being a twin herself. Will says they are smart and will be cut-throat when the time comes.

Diane and Drew talk and she tells Drew that after Jase it is Marvin and CB and his only option to stay in the game is to stay with Diane and then combine with the twins to stick it out. Drew sees it as his only option.

Will shows the hg how to twist, and Marvin dances well. The twins dance, and CB shows his dance moves. Will says that CB thinks he is a solid gold dancer bound for fame. Karen says that they saw fireworks on teh fourht of July. Karen says that she bakes and Jase says, "Karen is freaking out. He thinks she is losing it." Marvin says that "Karen is crazy. Anyone who can spend fourteen hours baking cupcakes is crazy." Nik says that Karen gets nervous, then she gets worried, then she gets anxiety, then she bakes and then she either stresses out or gets depressed, then she skitzes out and cries, she gets comforted and is okay again so she bakes!

Will, Karen, Adria, and Natalie talk about everything in the world, but they all always come back to the twin talk. Nat says that it is hard that they don't see her as an individual and they both are. She cries and says that Jase says that they will never be viewed as individuals in this house because when they came in they were seen as power and intimidating. She said it is something that twins go through, and that people see them and think they have something weird.

Jase pieced it all together and says that it is a win win for them and that Nik didn't put him up to save him, but because she knew he was strong enough to win the golden veto. Jase tells CB the scenario and all the ways it can go down and then tells him that he can't play anymore. He is gone. He also says he can't count on Drew anymore.

Veto competition- Jase asks Marvin to choose him so he will have a shot at saving himself. He promises to remove Marvin. Nik chooses Adria because she wants to stick with her 6 finger plan. Marvin chooses Will, and says he didn't pick Jase cause he is the person he wants to get out this week. Diane picks Drew saying he is her houseboy, but she says that Drew wants retribution for last week. Drew tells Jase that if he wins it and doesn't use it, but Marvin picked Will so that he could go out. Drew says this is good for him if he wins it. Jase says that this is good. Drew said that it is the first time in the game he has had to lie to someone's face and he is not a good liar. Karen is hostess for the game which is balloons and darts. It is a balloon board. It is "Pop goes the Veto." Under the balloons is a face. Once the face is totally revealed the person is not able to win veto, but they can play to eliminate others. Last face not revealed is the veto holder. Will says that if any one of the six won, the plan still would work, and Karen says the game was total smoke and mirrors. Jase says that they really didn't want to get out Drew and wonders why they aren't trying to get Drew out of the game. Diane says that everybody started popping her balloons. Diane says that Marvin popped her last balloon and she is out. Adria gets Marvin out and Karen says that his last bubble has been burst. Nik is revealed and is officially out of the veto. Karen says that they viewed the veto as a means to an end to get Jase out of the house and Will is the next out. Nik says that it was pretty much Drew to win so that they would have the dramatic effect they wanted at the veto competition. Drew says that he went to Jase and hugged him. Jase says that if Drew is true to his word, he will still be around. Drew says that he won't use it, and there is no way Diane will be out. He tells Jase that if he doesn't use it, Nik will be mad, but Jase says that no matter what Diane will stay. Drew tells CB that he won't use it and CB says that they can still pull this thing off. Drew says that he is in a bad situation this week. The four horsemen will be history if he doesn't use it.

Adria deals with the ants. Will says that this house is housing bacteria and Nik calls it a biohazard. Marvin says that is place is gross. Natalie goes to town cleaning. Nat says this house will be the cleanest it will ever be. She begins cleaning and Adria joins her. Karen says that Adria and Natalie are stronger than Jase and she is more worried about them than Jase. Karen says that Will and Karen are the alliance that no one knows about. She says that when they send one home they will have another one left with the fury. Nik and Adria talk about who to ally with. Nat says that Marvin and CB are redesigning their personalities and they are running now. They talk about Karen riding coattails and Adria says that they need to let people come to them. Drew and Diane might be the ones to ally with and they think that Diane is not afraid to speak her mind. The twins discuss that Diane came to them and talked about the fact that they are all twins and it would be fun to see all twins in the final four.

Drew comments on the nice clean sheets. Diane congrats him on the veto and he says that he isn't going to use it to Diane. He says that if he didn't use it, Marvin will probably be toast. He asks if she will be mad if he doesn't use it and she says she trusts him, he won it and he can do what he wants with it. Jase says that his gut says that Drew won't use it to take Diane off, but anything can happen. Nik says that this plan is five weeks in the planning and if Drew doesn't use it, she will be mad and five others will be mad at Drew. Drew says to the group that he has the chance to use the or not use the veto and asks Diane. She says that she thinks that he will use his cuddle buddy and names others and why they want her here. Will needs his coffee buddy, Adria needs her to dry the dishes, Nik needs her for her starbucks stickers, etc. Jase says, "What about me?" and Diane looks at him and ignores him to move on to another houseguest that needs her there. When he gets his turn, Marvin is silly and says he should save a bro rather than a ho. He jumps up and down, throws his hat, and speaks in a high pitch. It is obvious it is a put on. Drew says that he looked at the house and he didn't want to chance losing somebody that was close to his heart. The camera pans Jase and he looks brighter until Drew settles his look on Diane. Drew says he wants to give it to the lovely Diane. Drew turns the meeting over to Nik and says that it is her turn to put someone else up. Nik says that with the twins coming into the house everyone has been changing, but one person has changed a lot more than that, and that is Jase, and just so that they know that his behavior is real and exemplified and being on the block does that, she is putting Jase up. Marvin says that he thinks he is safe, but anything can happen. Drew says that a guy who betrayed his alliance is not going to look good to the others, so he hopes he made the right decision. Jase says that Drew betrayed him and he is going to spend his time dismantling the couple's romance in the house. Return to top

August 7, 2004 - Episode 14

By a vote of 4-3 Scott is evicted. Jase thought that since Scott saved Adria, that she would return the favor. Cowboy thought that he was losing a brother. Jase is angry, but smiles with a smirk as he rounds the corner. Diane says that she is going to take out the posse. Jase says it is the ultimate betrayal. Savage saved her (Adria) and she did that, a snake in the grass. He says she is the biggest liar in the house, telling her in the living room in front of all the other houseguests, "You were in the HOH crying, and Scott saved you." Adria denies it, but is shocked at his confrontation. She points out that there were 4 votes and she was just one of them. Jase privately tells Marvin that Karen voted for Scott and he voted for Marvin. Marvin says that he is going to ask Karen. Marvin tells the DR that he doesn't believe a word of what Jase said. Jase says that there is one more week but he will get her (Adria) out. He repeats in detail In the group, where Jase is being very confrontational over Adria's vote and his feeling that she backstabbed Scott by not carrying out what he believes was an aggreement, Diane says, "How many people in this house did Jase say he would go to the end with? Let's take a show of hands." Jase continues to go on about it, but Marvin intercedes with the comment, "You wanted me here, I am here, so what is the big deal?" Privately Marvin thinks that Jase was very wrong to call out a lady the way he did.

The reveal of the twins is reviewed by the houseguests. Jase gets the double whammy of having Marvin walk all over him in the living room over the Scott vote, catching him in his lie to Marvin, confronting Adria about her vote, and in walks his worst nightmare, Natalie. Jase says that he is never going to say that he is giving up, but with Scott gone.... In the HOH competition that follows, all of the remaining horsemen are out in the first round and Nik wins HOH. Cowboy says that he has no earthly idea who she is going after this week, but there is no telling who she is going to come after. Nik gets into the HOH room and gets her cow, her pillow, music, and CB gets to see a picture of his dad. CB says that he got to see his real father for the first time. He held that picture for a long time. Jennifer says that he can have that picture. She can see her dad in her head anytime she wants, and CB has never seen his dad. She removes it from the frame and gives it to her half brother with a hug.

Will says that the houseguests have no fashion sense. It is really hard to focus on what Jase is wearing because of the growing armpit stains, "usually on my shirts!" he quips. Nik is very skull and crossbones chic. Marvin get rid of that necklace! I love Karen so much, but girlfriend it is 2004, put away the corked shoes, leave 1985 behind and come into 2005.

Jase says that he is ready to bow out of the game. CB says that they can hang in there if they stick together. He says that he has lost one brother this week and doesn't want to lose another. Jase says he is discouraged but there is another sunrise tomorrow and he isn't going to roll over. Drew is talking to Diane and he tells DR that his alliance is over and maybe he came into the 4horsemen alliance too early. Diane assures him that he was just drawn into a bad group, and everybody likes him and will accept him. Marvin says that he and Diane should go up, and they shouldn't tell Jase. Then Jase can't play for veto and they can put him up and send him home.

Jase goes on a roll and loudly proclaims that he is in the market for a new alliance and calls for some girls to be in his alliance. He makes signs from cereal boxes to advertise for new alliance members.

Fast times and custard pie is the game and Drew eats pie first looking for foods and the eat cards. The pies are either chocolate or mustard and their are five eat cards only. You must get an eat card to eat. In addition there is one steal card and if you get that, you can steal an eat card from any houseguest with an eat card. The houseguests find a lot of cheese cards, lots of different cheeses. Jase wonders if Amy from BB3 is coming on the show. The houseguests get food, lots of food and Marvin is so excited to get an eat card, but wants steak and gets basil. He says the house is overflowing with basil and it is not a food! Natalie gets two eat cards and gives one to Diane who is very excited and hugs her. Will gets the steal card and ends up taking Diane's cause taking Marvin's would mean no chef services that week. Jase looks at the sky when it is determined that Jase, Adria, Cowboy, and Diane are on the PB&J diet, and waits for the anvil to fall on his head. It has not been his week.

Nik is the only cigarette smoker in the house. Karen says that Nik will leave the conversation to go outside for a smoke. She is down to 19 cigarettes and she is at the point where she has to quit. She puts on the patch as she gets to her last cigarette.

CB messes up the English language. Marvin says that if you listen to CB for any time you will hear him bust up a subject/verb. They show CB and many of his language gaffes.

Will tells the DR that Nik has a 6 finger plan that will put a target out. You have to have six players and you nominate two of them, have them choose two more teammates, and the HOH chooses a teammate, preventing the target from playing. Then after the veto competition you remove one houseguest, put up the target and get him out. The key to it is six people who are willing to work together to eliminate a target.

Jase tries a new strategy, being a nice guy. He says that with Scott gone, he has no reason to play hard and he approaches Nik with his new self. He tells her he is no longer acting, and he has been defused with Scott's going. He tells the DR that this is plan B, Be a nice guy. He thinks after talking to her that it worked.

Nominations happen. Jase says that the other players in the house think of him as a great player. Nik says that the decision on whom to nominate was tricky, and she has to pick two people she can completely trust. She also has to have a player in it that can go out without disrupting the team if the veto twists. She says that every decision she makes it because it will better the game in some way. She pulls out Jase first, and everyone stares. She tells him that he has had a really hard time here and even though everyone is probably kicking her in the a** he is safe. He pulls out Karen, Karen pulls Natalie, Natalie pulls Cowboy, Cowboy pulls Adria, Adria pulls Will, Will pulls Drew. Marvin and Diane, Diane I have talked with you before, and you are hotheaded and there may be an unseen alliance with Drew. You are still my homies, but I had to do this. Marvin you are a very smart guy and I am seriously alarmed with what lies within your head. Marvin says that he won't take it personal.

Marvin says that this nomination has been totally orchestrated, but with Big Brother, anything can happen to change what would be the outcome. Diane says that for the first time she is putting her fate in the hands of her alliance, and that requires trust. Will says that Jase has no idea of what is going on, and if they pull this off, it may go down in Big Brother history. Jase says that he may be like a cat in this house with 9 lives, he doesn't want to be cocky and arrogant. Nik says that if Jase thinks his talk with her convinced her that he was a changed man..... well, she didn't buy it. Jase is leaving. Jase is seen raising his key and being very arrogant in private and once again at the bathroom mirror raising his fists in victory. Return to top

August 5, 2004 - Episode 13

For the first time, a woman took control of the house and put the fear into the men. Diane nominated Jase and Scott, but Jase smashed her plan by winning the golden pov and using it on himself. She puts up Marvin and they feel in control again. Twins Natalie and Adria are on their tenth switch and will be introduced into the house together tonight.

Day 35 and there have been many twists and turns into the house tonight. Michael and Jennifer were revealed to be half brother and sister. The twins have traded places in the house ten times, and their goal was to make it five weeks without being discovered or evicted. Tonight they will earn the right to play individually in the house.

Scott and Marvin talk and Marvin says he has been locked and loaded since he came into the house. Drew says that Scott has the votes from the horsemen and he counts them, but he needs one more vote to make this happen and get Marvin out of here. Scott tells Diane that when she needs something she gets it. She tells Marvin to have faith in her, but Marvin doesn't believe her. Marvin says tht if she keeps him in the game he will owe her a favor. Adria says that everyone has been telling her that they saved her from the block, but she tells Karen and Diane that they saved her. Scott says that he knows Adria is lying. Jase says this is how the game works this year. We will call her in and call her out. Go get her CB. Scott says that you are here because we saved you. Scott says all he needs is one vote to stay in the house. Will, Karen, Diane are in the back yard, and Will sends Diane in to see what is going on. Scott says that this is between him and Adria and Adria blows up. She says that she does not want him to leave, and Diane says something that is supportive of Adria. She says that she doesn't need this right now and she almost loses it. Diane is seen saying to the group back on the lawn that Adria is switching. They freak and think that her vote is in doubt. They talk about getting rid of her if she backstabs them.

Julie talks to Karen who says she is doing fine. She teases Scott and CB about a relationship she is unable to figure out. Adria says she is blessed to be here tonight and is enjoying her stay in the house.

Jase says that he likes Marvin better as a dude. But he is loyal to Scott who is a Horsemen. He votes to evict Marvin
Nik says that the only way keeping Marvin would help her is if he doesn't put her on the block. She votes to evict Scott.
Karen says that Scott is a big player and they have a chance to get rid of a big player. She votes to evice Scott.
Cowboy is loyal to the horsemen. They need Scott, he says. He votes to evict Marvin.

Interviews with Ben and Lindsay. Lindsay is the goody goody. Diane says that she and her twin look nothing alike. Lindsay says that Drew is too good for Drew and grins. They are opposites, both girls agree. Ben is supportive of his brother and serious. He says that he was so pumped when Drew stood up to Jase and gave him a piece of his mind. Lindsay says that Diane's biggest weakness is her mouth. Deep down inside she is a mush. I didn't think she would do as well as she is doing, but she never ceases to amaze me. Lindsay says she was shocked at the twin twist and says she gives them a lot of credit for what they are doing. Lindsay says that it is hard to predict how Diane is going to react. She isn't going to know what to do with it. Ben says that Drew is going to understand what is going on and maybe form an alliance with them.

Diane said that she was mad at how she used her coins and that it is okay, but she will still get Scott out. She was mad that the boys used the spy screen, but they had fun with the screen after it. Asked about her and Drew she says it is the most special relationship she has ever had, and she hopes it is something that will continue. Is that being too forward?

Will- Having Scott here as a puppet of Jase is a hard thing. I vote to evict Scott.
Drew- I want the horsemen to continue. I vote to evict Marvin
Adria- Scott has changed this week. He is not the same person he was. I like him right now. If I am looking at keeping Scott here, will that be someone who will protect me next week? This is a numbers game. I have to consider who will be here to protect Natalie and me this week. We are going to be targets. I vote to evict..... it just isn't flying off my tongue.

We are at 3-3 with Adria's vote in doubt.

Adria and Natalie will enter tonight. But before, another HG will be evicted. Scott? I want to thank my family and friends back home. They are important to me. I am going to miss our bathtub time, CB. He says "What??" Jase you are cool, and I miss you.
Marvin- Thank you for those of you who

Time to say goodbye. Scott you are evicted by a vote of 4-3 from the BB house. Jase says it is on Scott, It is on Savage. Jase says he has one week left. Scott says he is not good with goodbyes and so he will say hello one more time. He leaves. Jase says he has gotta win this. Diane says after he goes, "God, it is not the end of the world." Jase takes off and lifts weights. Jase says, "Ultimate betrayal." Scott is speechless.

He says he is shocked, speechless. He says that they thought they had everything under control. They had a lot to learn. He says that there is a lot of deceit in the house and he is stunned. Julie asks him about his white lies. He says that he used them to protect himself and he apologized for doing something in the house. He says that he listened to the people with their Bibles, regrets lying, and got to know people in the house and he found out that it was not the right thing to do. It was just a game and he learned from that. He changed the last week in the house and he hopes that America learns that.

Will says that he had to go with a group decision. He did not want to vote him out. Karen says that she didn't want to vote him out and her vote changed five minutes before she cast it. Cowboy says that he will miss him. Jase says if he is watching this, he did it to himself, voting Holly out, a vote to keep him here. He says he had his back the entire time, but Scott broke away and did it to himself. Adria and Natalie say that they both like him and wish him well. Scott says that he knew! He says that in the morning she looked so different around the eyes. He also says that he would like to bust in there and tell everyone. He is shocked again.

Natalie, Adria's twin sister is in the DR. In just a few min you are going to go out and play for HOH. Tonight's game is all about observation. Diane, you cannot play since you are outgoing HOH, but here is a test question. Since the first night, how many houseguests have been in the game? She says, "Thirteen." Julie responds, the answer is 14, you are wrong. Diane says, fourteen? Julie explains that a pair of identical twins have switched 10 times. Drew points to Diane. Cowboy says, "Holly." Jase sits stunned. They all look at each other. Jase says, "Scott!" and grins. They go on and finally decide it must be one of them because of the the 5 weeks without eviction rule. Julie introduces Natalie to the house and Jase drops to the sofa, stunned. Will hugs Adria, and others join in and look at her, then hugging her.

This HOH competition game is all about observation. You didn't see the twins, but let's see how well you know your living environment. Red for false, Green for true. Wrong is eliminated.

There are four light blue stools in the kitchen. All are false.
There are four bowls hanging on the lime green wall in the dining room. False. Marvin, Michael, Drew, Jase are out. The horsemen are out!
The flowers in the vase in the wood room on the dresser are purple. Natalie is out.
Across from the memory wall there is a metal sculpture of an apple. It is a pear. All are still in.
There are 8 noses on the sculpture. All are out but Nik.
Jennifer is the new HOH.

What part will Jennifer's HOH role play in the nominations of the twins.
Natalie, congrats to you and Adria. I have been here since the very first day, so I know and love all of you. Although Natalie has been here from the first, I hope you will embrace her in name. Julie asks, "Will, how surprised were you?" "I did notice Natalie's birthmark in the hammock. Sometimes it was there and sometimes it wasn't, Will replies. Karen says that she did notice the birthmark as well. "I am in on the action since I sleep with both of them! I notice that one talks a little bit faster, but with the up times and down times I didn't pick it up."

Adria and Natalie talk with the houseguests pointing out their differences, but saying that they know each other like the back of her hand. Return to top

August 3, 2004 - Episode 12

Diane nominates Jase and Scott for eviction saying that she cannot benefit from having them around. Jase and Scott knuckle shake. Jase says he is on the block but not out the door. Marvin says that it was a no brainer that she would put them up. Scott is talked to by Diane and says that she had to do it because of veto comp. She tells him that she didn't want him to save Jase. She says that she wants him to know that he isn't leaving the house on Thursday. He tells her that she did a good pick. Diane says that the only way Jase is staying is if he wins the veto. Scott tells her that Marvin would put her up in a heartbeat. She says that they are going to try to stir things up but they can't break any of them. They scheme and count votes, and Cowboy says that is why they saved A, so they would have the vote.

Diane meets with Jenn and Will and she rehashes the Marvin up thing and she says that Scott and Jase are the targets and they both cannot stay in the house.

Will looks at Drew and says he is jealous of Diane, cause Drew looks good. Drew and Scott talk, and Scott says if he gets it he takes Jase off, if Jase gets it, he takes himself off, and they probably won't put up CB, they will put up Marvin and everyone loves him and are cool with him, so Marvin will go. Drew says he has the inside with Diane and that she confides in him so perhaps he can convince her to put Marvin up and send him home and save the 4Horsemen this week.

Diane and Marvin kid around. Drew says that Marvin is a good jokester. He says that someone told CB to put a sweater on and he says back, are we going somewhere or am I cold? Marvin says that his sense of humor is not strategy, it is just him and if it lightens the house and makes time pass, it is good.

Cowboy misses home. He talks about his son and how much it would mean for him to spend a half hour in the house, and he cries for missing him.

Jennifer finds they have piggies to paint. Karen is so excited, she goes out to see an army of unpainted pigs waiting to be painted, "by me! It is like, Karen's unpainted pork!" Cowboy made his into a cowby, Scott made a scary pig, it is a canabilistic pig. Karen says her pig is so great, she is estatic, but there is always a catch and she is probably going to have to break it over the head.

Drew and Diane cuddle at night, and Diane says he seems more open at night. Drew says that of the two guys, Marvin is the stronger player. He feels like he is in the middle, one of the 4Horsemen, and is sleeping with the enemy. Diane says she could be the fiddle and he could be playing her hard core.

Diane says that he is going to make goofy faces and blow kisses at CB. Diane is dying in the hammock with Adria and Jennifer. Will is making faces at him behind his back. He tells the diary room that it was in fun, and CB is the "unsexiest person in the house."

Diane picked Will to play with her for Veto comp. Scott picks Drew, and Jase picks CB. Competitors are to go to rooms and wait till they are called, others can go outside. They go out to the yard one by one and there is their Piggy Banks. They are to take coins, 13 of them, and you are to place any amount of coins in any banks of your choice. The winner is the person with the most coins, but not going over 20 or you are disqualified. Will gives 12 coins to Jase and 1 to himself. Scott gives himself 1 and Diane gets 12. (I don't have the rest, but I will edit them in when I review the tape of the show.) One by one they have to smash their pigs. Scott has to break his and he has 6 chips. Michael has 9 chips. Diane has 27 chips. Drew has 7 chips. Jase has 18 chips. Will has 11 chips. Jase is already chopping his hammer about. Jase says that he is born again and is going to win it. He tells Diane to enjoy her last week in the house. Diane is beating herself up, saying she can't believe how stupid she was and how did she get through college? Scott and Jase talk strategy and decide to feel A out over the agreement they had last week. Jase goes on and on about the 9 hours and 35 min and how he respects her, and she says that she has to separate them and he, Jase, put them her in a depression, why, cause she didn't give his girlfriend a pity hug? Scott goes to her and promises her that he will not put her up if he has HOH, and swears on the angel on his back. He thinks he might have convinced her that she has to do this.

Diane says she doesn't feel good about the picture. Adria says that it isn't a real picture, there is a camera. Then she says it is the glass. Jenn says that she needs to put on her robe and slippers and do a dance for the cameras and maybe it will open. They find directions for the spy screen and Karen says that the guys couldn't keep it a secret, they are too stupid. A says they have been watching them this whole time. Diane takes the remote and says, it is there turn.

Will puts a spin on the chips episode and tells him that his piggy seemed empty so he tried to load it. He said that it might send him over, but it was a risk he had to take. Jase says that he may be leading him on, can he trust him? He does need him, but is he lying or truth? Will says that if the girls got power, it is fake. If Jase gets power, he is going to continue to play him like a fiddle. The guys shake hands and agree to work together and Jase says that he is safe if he gets HOH, cause his name never comes up when they talk who they want out.

The girls discuss whether to keep Scott or not. They can put Marvin up and he is a player. Adria points out that her, Diane's, original thought was to break up the Scott/Jase alliance, and if they take Marvin out, it is defeating the purpose. She convinces a wavering Diane, who says that she needs their support to pull this off. They all agree.

Natalie says that Adria has been in the house for five weeks. On an emotional level, it will be great for Adria to be herself in the house and for me to be myself! Just me! She says this might be the last switch. Nat tells her about the HOH screen. She says that she is going to prepare herself with food and mentally to win HOH next week, so that they don't get sidetracked in getting her goal, getting Jase out.

Jase dresses in his devil suit and horns in his hair. Will comes out to find Scott and Jase dressed in his clothes apparently like in some movie, Jase in some camaflauge, and Scott with his teeth done funny and a ball cap on sideways, and Will says that they think they are so cool and manly, but Will thinks that Jase is about as erotic as a wet t-shirt contest in a nursing home. Jase says that those of you who tried to put me out last week, double crossing me, I am going to use this veto to save my a**, and you can kiss my a** and then you can kiss your own a**es goodbye, cause I am back with a vengeance. Diane, I am using this veto to save myself. Diane says that since you put my a** in this position, I am going to have to put up the next strongest player in my eyes. Marvin, I put you on the block. Cowboy blows a sigh of relief, and Marvin is unscrutible under his dark shades. Scott thinks things are going as planned and Marvin will be voted out on Thursday. Jase continues to rant in the diary room, " You can put me up, but I will take myself off, just like a little rat in a cage!" Diane says that she is going to work to get them out. Return to top

July 31, 2004 - Episode 11

This week BB focuses on the HOH competition, Jase's emotions regarding Holly and the Four Horsemen, Karen and hubby Larry, Diane and her decisions, and Cowboy as a cowboy.

We pick up Big brother with the HOH competition. The person who can hold the button down the longest will win HOH. Scott says that he knows if they don't win HOH he knows they are up for eviction. Diane says that she holds 20 wineglasses above her head for hours, so this will be a piece of cake. Jase is determined to win because of issues with the Holly eviction. Jase says that Holly was voted out because Scott has personal issues. Diane says that the vote being 7-1 to vote Hollyo out is priceless. Drew says that not so many people are sad to see her leave. Will says that it is hard, but Jase says that he is cool. He says that to be perfectly honest Holly was betrayed and he was betrayed. Nik is off first and Jase says that no one wants to come off first, so thank you. Jase tells everyone that he thanks them to voting Holly off, being sarcastic. Scott says Jase is on a rampage to get even, but Scott says that he is going to be there awhile. Karen is weakening. Drew brings out pizza. Karen is out and she says that she is sorry. At the four hour mark, they are told they cannot switch hands and you cannot touch the life size poster with the other hand either. They talk about letting Cowboy have it. Marvin says no, but Diane says she is down with it. Jase said he would, too, and they all agreed, but Marvin. He didn't feel confident about the vote. Cowboy gives out, his finger slipped off the button. He cries inside the house and Drew comes to comfort him. Drew says that if it is not meant to be it isn't meant to be. Michael says he wanted it for his son. He wanted pictures from home. He says, everyone wanted to give it to the cowboy except Marvin. Jennifer tells him he was doing it for really really good reasons, but it wasn't meant to be. She would love to get it and show him pictures of his dad. Adria says that this is hard but she has to do it to get Natalie in the house. They all say they are cool. Diane says to Scott that he can't put his hand up on his cutout, and BB calls him out. He says in the diary room that she hates him and he hates her, she is a b***. Marvin is out after a huge arm cramp. He says it was a whole lot harder than he thought it would be. Adria goes next when her finger locks her out. Diane and Jase have a conversation about who they would put up. Jase says that she would be surprised at who he would put up. She says that if he steps down she will put up his people. She says it is time for a girl to win HOH. He says that he has his own sh** to deal with and he wants to do it himself. Diane doesn't give. Jase says that Will has his mind. Will asks if he is safe. When they say he is, he lets go. Now it is down to Diane and Jase and Jase tries all his wiles to fake her out, hollaring suddenly, making animal noises, yelling at Scott and CB for eating the last of the pizza, saying he wouldn't have done that. Scott tells CB in the bathroom that after nine hours, who knows where his head is at. Jase sticks it out, but moves his foot one time too often and gets caught. Jase says in the diary room that this alliance isn't what he thinks it is. Diane is congratulated and they say it is about time a girl gets it.

The guys make faces in the mirror and are fooling around. They get together for a group shot. They go on about Larry, Karen's husband. Marvin says that if she says Larry 400 times in one day they put her out. Will says he can pick out Larry all the way down to his fingerprints. She loves to talk about Larry.

Diane gets into the HOH room and they look at her pictures. Marvin says that her dogs are ugly, and he likes dogs. Scott says that he has to stop in so she won't get that she hates him. He looks at her picture of her and her identical twin Lindsay, and says that the sister is hot. He thinks she got it all in the looks department. Diane tries on the robe and the girly slippers and loves it.

The groups speculate on who is going to be nominated. All sorts of names come up and Marvin was told he was safe but he doesn't believe it. Scott and Jase both say they are possibilities. Scott says she might put up Karen, no, Cowboy? Jase says, Nik? Scott says, "No, they are best friends." They all come back to at least one of them and someone else.

They don't call me Michael, they call me Cowboy. He talks about his bull riding and Jase is totally thrown off. He says when he first saw him he thought he would be a brain surgeon or something. Cowboy says that he was scared, an outcast. Jennifer says she is from Texas and he is not any cowboy that she is used to in any sense of the word.

Adria is blown away that they haven't caught on. In the DR Adria tells her about the comp and how Diane stood there and what went down. She and Natalie switch and Natalie is in the house again. They have a finger thing they do, and Adria reminds her to keep one side of her face towards them for a bit.

Jase takes after Diane and says he has a newfound respect for her after the competition. He sits with Diane in the hammock and tells her how much he respects her. In the DR Diane says, yeah, right, I hold my finger on a button for nine hours and he respects me? He talks to her in the kitchen again. Karen says, "Is it hard to sit down with his nose up your a**?" Diane says that she isn't sure who to put up as she has gotten over a lot of what Scott does, like her sister, they fight and it is over five min later. She says it is Jase and Scott or Marvin or CB.

Diane does the evictions. Jase says he is comfortably numb over his whole body. Diane looked at the wall and looked at the people who stood behind her, and then those who have made her stay in the house rough. The guys worry about who it might be. Diane puts the keys in. She thinks everybody in the house will be pleased with her nominations. She brings in the box, and says that it is a little bit heavy, but she has it. Jase is wearing Holly's pink hat. She says that this is a game. The only reason we are here is to win the game. Will is safe, Drew, Adria, Marvin, Karen, Nik, Michael. Scott and Jase are up. They point to each other. I nominated you two, not like it is a big surprise, but you, Jase, you are the strongest player in this game, you dominate all competitions, you spent 9 hours up on the block with me. Scott, I put you up simply for the fact that you dominate, and you may not have won any comps yet, but I just felt that I had to put two of our top guys on the block today.

Karen says that she is enjoying the squirming and those guys can kiss this........ shows her tush. Marvin says that the game turns and if one of them win veto it could be him. Will is so happy with the turn of the game and the chance to lay back a bit. Scott tells Diane he is on her a** and says in diary room that he is going to be on her. Jase says that this veto comp is very important and he hopes she is prepared if things don't go her way.

Tuesday, who will win veto? Will they use it? Will Natalie pull it off so that she and her sister can both enter the house? Join BB on Tuesday. Return to top

July 29, 2004 - Episode 10

Previously on BB. As the new HOH, Drew shocked the alliance and nominated Holly and Nik. With the horsemen struggling to get back on track, Jase promises to get Holly off the block. Nik wins, takes herself off the block thinking that he was going to put Marvin on the block, but Drew surprises them and puts Adria on the block. Drew thinks he may have a tie breaker. Who will be evicted?

Julie Chen welcomes us. It has been an explosive week as alliances are exposed. There are currently 12 people, not 11 playing in the house. Adria's and Natalie's plan is to make it to next week that they had to reach next week. If one twin is evicted, the twins have known all along that the other twin will have to play the game on their own. They have had to rely on their faith. Adria is shown relying on her Bible and its words to help her through, sharing it with Karen. The guys, Marvin, Scott, and Jason are pooh poohing her outlook on reciting Bible verses, and Diane says that she has one mapped out in Drew's Bible that will give her a good outlook for playing the game. Marvin is approached by Adria and he does not commit. Cowboy says that he does not want her on the block, but he does not commit. She tells him that nobody knows what you vote, and if I am here and it comes to it and I have any influence on anyone, I am just saying..... and I don't want to cry. The boys approach CB, and Scott says that he doesn't hold private meetings. CB says that he just gave her the right to sit and talk. Scott says that if he is guarenteed that if she is HOH she will not put up me or Jase, but puts up one of her own people. Scott comes up with this brilliant plan and Jase says that the cracker, Holly, will never vote them out. Scott says, "Game over, this is not a possibility, and caves to Jase."

Diane, the third houseguest is about to go tonight. What is the mood in the house? She says that they are making it a good time for those who are going. Scott says that he has to get HOH, something about screwing the pooch. CB is asked who he would like to play if he could play any actor, and he says, "Brad Pitt." Julie makes a remark about that being Jase. She asks Karen what she misses the most and Karen says, "Chocolate. I need buckets of it. I would pour it all over me."

Jase- Holly is a cute girl and I want her to stay in the house. Adria is a very strong player.
Diane- Holly attacks me all the time in the house. She has a vendetta out for me.
Scott- Holly is one of the most unique girls in the house.
Karen- Holly wants everyone to like her. It is actually a little sad. Adria is very very strong and she tries to put all of herself into everything she does.

Tonight, with Holly up for eviction, she needs the support of the 4Horsemen and Jase is faced with a budding romance. The guys watch her baking cookies. Scott says that when Jase wakes up, it is her, her, her 12 hours a day. Scott and Drew see Jase kiss Holly. Tell us about the kiss. Jase says that Drew and CB knew it a long time ago, and we kept it from you because we knew how you feel. Scott says that Jase is totally taken by Holly. Drew and Karen talk about how it is worrying them about Jase and Holly being together. Marvin says that Holly is playing Jase like a spade. Jase says that Holly is a chick in here and he just hangs with her. Dew says that they are with him about 5 min a day and with Holly all day. Drew says that he doesn't like it when Jase says the things he says about him and no *****. Marvin says he wants both of them gone. They take a vote. We don't see that.

Drew is in HOH and he says that when he had to put A up it was hard because they are like brother and sister, but he thought he had to do it in the group. He says that they used the snoop screen and saw some things that helped him take things in the direction he wanted them to go in. He says that he is glad he is taking his medicine, because he is definitely losing his hair this week.

Jase's mom says that he is funny with a great sense of humor, but he is different from the person she raised. He has always primped in the mirror. This relationship with this cuddle monster? I can't see it. I can't imagine him bringing her home to Mom. She says that she told him not to do anything that will embarass the family. "When I see Jase on the show, I just cringe and want him to show them what he is really like."

I have to say I have questioned lots of Scott's behavior. Nothing bad when he was a kid, this is not the Scott we know, he was always a gentlemen. I hear some white lies and I don't have a clue where they came from. He says that he is a pro football player and owns an escalade and a boat and it was his birthday, and none of that is true. He was a month off in his birthday, but it worked. "When I see Scott on the show, I figure that he is doing this because he has to and if it brings him closer to the money, then so be it."

Adria and Natalie have switched 8 times. Tonight the switch could be over.

Holly- I love you guys so much, each of you guys are unique and individual and Jase you have been like an inspiration in the house and I want to give you a little something to remember me by in case I am gone.
Here is my little cat and my pink hat.
Adria- Being here this week has been the biggest challenge in my life and looking at everyone and seeing their true characters. I have learned a lot, and it is amazing.

Cowboy- She may need the extra vote.
Will- Holly is hyper, she would do anything to stay. When you have Adria, you have her hundred percent support.
Marvin- I am a pivotal vote this week. With Adria, she is a galvenizing force and when you have her you can make things go a certain way.

Houseguests the moment has arrived. By a vote of 7 to 1, Holly you are evicted from the BB house. Jase holds her hand and walks her to the door. Drew looks solemn. Holly hugs Will, Karen, Drew, CB, Adria, Diane, and sadly waves and she hugs Jase, kisses him, and says, "I love you."

Back in the house, Adria hugs Jase and Karen hugs Adria. Drew hugs Adria, Jase takes off to be alone, but Marvin runs for the bathroom.

Holly why do you think that more people are not on your side? I got roped into this thing with Jase and it really ruined my chances and they thought I was a liar. Jase is going to be upset, he was trying to push for me as hard as he could, but there are very jealous girls in the house and they thought that there was more to me than what they saw when I came in the house. Holly says that they have been G-rated cuddle buddies and she hopes that she and Jase have something outside the house. Marvin says that he guesses things didn't work out for you but good luck with your acting. Diane says she has one thing to say, "Good-bye and good riddance." Karen says that she meant everything that she said in the house. She is moved and says, "I really like you." Cowboy says, "Your presence will be missed in the house. Jase said some special lovey dovey words that I missed, but he said that she wasn't just a pretty face to him. Adria and Natalie say their goodbyes and Holly sits in shock. She says they are identical. When Julie tells her that some thought she was a twin, she grins and says, "One Holly in the house is enough." Julie says she will see her at the finale.

Who will win HOH. They go to the backyard and see images of them, their mirror image. Please go stand in front of your mirror image. Everyone has a secret in this house, and you have a button on your mouth. There is a red light under your feet and your feet may not cross the black bar. Your hand must stay on the button. Release it even for a split second and your light under your feet will go out. You may press it with your hands or fingers. If you release it, your light will go out and you will be eliminated. The first five people eliminated may choose one of the ten numbers on the board and that will determine your food for the week.

Marvin is already complaining. Diane has her hand on the button, Karen her fingers. Scott has both hands on his image and Jase has one hand on it. Return to top

July 27, 2004 - Episode 9

Holly is up because she has the ability to change people's minds. Nik is up because of her association with others. Holly goes on a pout. Jase says that he understands one hundred percent. Scott says that it was a total shock and Scott goes to work. Holly goes into the tub and begins to work on Jase. He is comforting her and Diane goes to the bathroom. Jase goes to Drew and changes his mind. Scott says that he is not used to the other guy getting all the attention. Jase assures Drew that he will vote her out. Drew does not believe him but he listens to Jase. Jase says that when he wins veto he will not choose to use the veto.

Diane was happy to hear Holly is nominated. Holly says that a lot of girls won't give her a chance and they probably won't give her the chance. Holly says "Did he read it in his Bible?" Nik is a decoy, she says, so who will I have, you and Scott? Holly goes to Drew and says that she won't kiss his butt, but she isn't like that and she has something with Jase beyond the game. She says that she is not a mastermind. Drew says that if this is a mistake, you can rub it in my face later and say, "I told you so." Jase says that Drew is taking out one of our allies, and for Drew to go behind what I believe in and what we believe in, that hurts me. Scott says to Jase that they should tell him how we feel. If Karen gets HOH you know who is going up, you and me.

Will says that when a guy can pull off blonde hair you should. Will says he is completely obsessed with Brad Pitt. Marvin says that he is so sick of hearing about Brad Pitt. Drew says that BP is his idol.

Scott says he is 26 and Jase is 28 and they have a 22 year old kid telling them what to do. They say that he has hung them to dry and they are both pissed. Drew comes in and they tell him to lock the door. Jase and Scott converge on him with Cowboy. Drew says that he put her up because she is a threat to the group. I come in here and you are totally thinking it differently. You just took away our allies. If they win HOH this week, we are gone. Drew says that he didn't want to make a decision he would regret later. Scott says that it is a democracy, and we make the decisions for us. Drew cries and says that he is sorry that he let them down. Jase says that he is competing for Holly and he is going to win it and he is going to do it two weeks in a row. He says Drew will pick Scott, Nik will pick Cowboy and then they will use it to take Holly off. Cowboy says that he wanted Nik to choose him, cause he wants her to trust him. Scott goes to work on Nik and says that she should trust her brother. I told her that we were going to use the veto to put Marvin up, but really we are going to put up one of her teammates. Scott is lying to Nik, but she isn't buying it. She says they only want veto to keep Holly with Jase a few more weeks. Drew says to the DR that he doesn't think that it is wise for him to take Holly off, but he doesn't want to let his team down. He says that he needs to look at their strongest players and A is someone he can trust. Drew says that he feels like he is a spider in a web and he is being pulled in many directions. It is going to be his choice and he is going to have to live with it. Drew chooses Scott to work with him. Nik says Adria. Holly chooses Jase. Participants must wear evening wear, and Marvin is going to officiate. Jase thinks it is a food comp, so he barfs. They go out and it is a casino. Bluff me a veto, one side of your chip is a bluff, one side is the truth. You read a card and either say the answer or a bluff. In the end the person with the most chips wins POV. Ten chips each. At the end of two rounds, POV is won by Nik. Jase says that he let Holly down, and the horsemen down. Jase says that Nik is hugging Diane, and he is out of here this week. They court Marvin, and Scott tells Diary Room that they will keep him for two weeks. Marvin says that he is in. They say that either A goes up when Nik goes off, if she doesn't, she is gone. Jase says that they need a name and Marvin comes up with the Santa Monica Band Boys. Jase says to Diary Room that what he doesn't know is that four of the santa monica band boys are horsemen. Scott says santa monica band boys and thumbs down. They are plainly using Marvin for the next couple of weeks. Marvin says in Diary Room that it brings him closer to the 500K.

Holly is going on about Diane hugging Nik after the POV win. Holly goes after Diane. She asks why there was no hug for her, even a pity hug when she lost. Diane says that why is it so bad that when her side wins....... and Jase goes off saying that she just gave it all away, that they do have an alliance. Diane says that she isn't talking to them and leaves. Holly goes out to confront Diane on the patio. Holly says that she says things against everyone here and that she just told them that she had an alliance with them. Then Jase goes outside and says that since Diane has called an alliance, and he names people, the game is on. He goes back in and then the patio group goes in and confronts them. He says that Diane named names, and so the game is on and they had better count the numbers on this one.

Adria and Natalie switch. Adria goes in to see Drew and he tells them that he is being backstabbed by his people. She tells him that having been a twin, he must have always had one person on his side. She tells him that she won't tell him what to do but that he has to follow his faith. He tells her that they have been pressuring him to put her up. He tells her that outside of the house these guys would not be his friends. He tells the Diary Room basically the same thing. Nik after enduring that hideous laughter of Holly's takes herself off the block. Drew says that he has to put another person in this chair and he hates to do it, but he chooses to nominate Adria. His reasons for that is her strength as a player, she is smart and beautiful and a leader among women, so for that reason only, he chooses to put her in this chair. Nik says that she feels horrible taking herself off the block because it is Adria. She says that the boys lied to her and told her that it would have been Marvin going up. Drew says in DR that he is going to have to play for him if it is a tie, and not be led by others in the house.

Adria says in Diary Room that as long as Scott and Jase are in the house, they are all little cockroaches waiting to be stepped on.

BB asks if it will be Nik or Adria going. Will the twist be revealed? That and the most challenging HOH ever will be on Thursday on the live show. Return to top

July 24, 2004 - Episode 8

Karen is saved and she felt like she is going to pass out when Julie spoke the way she did. Lori was evicted. Scott says that he was not sorry to lose her, but she was a good sight in the morning. Will says that she told him to win this game as she said goodbye. Jase says that he would hang out with her outside this house. He said it affected him when she walked out that door. Adria says she was an asset to the house and she didn't want her to go. Marvin said that she was the only person in the house that he liked, she was the homecoming queen. Karen said that she didn't want to see her go and she doesn't know how she is going to be in the house without her. Cowboy said she was a strong player.

Karen said that HOH was like jockfest 2004. Will says that it was absolutely revolting, like all their dead relatives had been brought back to life. Jennifer thinks that he will make his own decisions, so she is happier that he got it rather than one of the evil people. Drew saw Marvin's gamer side where he told Drew that he was passing the rumor that it was him and Karen going up. Will wants him to put up Holly and they work on him about that. Will tells Karen that it isn't a lost cause when Karen says that she doesn't feel safe. She says they are so encompassing. Drew passes on the the other horsemen that Marvin came to him about floating the rumor. Scott says that Marvin is definitely plotting and he is gone. They say that his only power is with them, so he isn't a threat this week. Drew says that he wants this to be his decision, no one elses, so if it comes back on him he is making his own decision.

HOH room is shown to Drew and he sees his house, his pillow from home, and a basket of snacks, a blanket, pictures, and they see a picture of his twin brother. Diane says that he has a great family and is such a good guy. He gets his frat flag.

The guys says that they are going to take out and Drew does it, but he has his advisors. Cowboy says Marvin and Jase says that he thinks he is with them and that is for next week. His next name is Diane. The guys are passing aroud names, one is Adria, saying she isn't sleeping with any of them. Drew listens and then says that he has to think about it. Drew thinks that he needs to put up someone that the whole house will be unified about and won't ruffle feathers.

Scott told the HG that he is a practice player for a major football team and tells the DR that he is fibbing. He told them he has a dark black Escalade, which isn't true. He says that it is a fake birthday too. His real birthday is June 15. Will says that you can take Scott for his word. Scott says that this makes it look like he isn't in it for the money.

Drew says that Holly is coming in between them, and he wants to make sure that the four horsemen are strong and that no one comes in between them. Drew says that the friction between Scott and Jase is Holly. Cowboy says that his fiance's father is helping out with groceries. He tells that his future father in law is a lease pumper. He oversees like 25 of them. The guys says that he is rich. Cowboy says that it is his damn money, not his and he is working 6 days a week to care for his family. He says that he has been poor all his life, working 6-7 days a week and this is pulling his strings, when Marvin says that he is a rich boy. Cowboy says that he just put himself up on the block, put a big X on himself.

Drew says to Diane that he has a little bit of feelings with Diane. He enjoyed cuddling with her the other night. Diane says in the DR that he is the greatest guy in the world and she would take him over the 500K any day. She says to Karen that Holly makes her feel like she is losing brain cells. Diane wants Drew to nominate Holly and they can get her out of the house and it will be one more person off that team. Diane says that you might put me up this week, who knows. Drew says, who knows, he probably will. Diane tells him that whoever he puts up, it will be a good decision.

Holly says that if she had a different hair color or wore glasses it would be different in the house for her. She says that she gives people the benefit of the doubt, but they don't do that for her.

Food Comp is Alphabet Soup in a pool of orange goo. They have to find the food item they want from the list. Vowels are at the bottom of the pool and they have ten min to accomplish it. The more food they spell the more they get. Marvin gets beer. Cowboy gets Beef, Scott falls off the ladder and he gets steak. Jase got pizza. Will gets eggs. Diane gets milk. Adria gets apples. Holly gets wine. Karen gets cola. Jenn gets pork. Marvin gets chicken. Cowboy gets lobster. Scott gets cheese.

Nominations. Jase says A and Diane. Michael says Marvin. Drew says that he is afraid to put him up. Scott says that Drew is trying to make calculations for the coming weeks and is driving himself insane right now. CB says that the 4H have put so many names up to Drew. Drew talks and says that Diane is not good for this week. He has to be a man and make his own decision.

Adria and Natalie switch and immediately Natalie is drawn into the fray to talk with Drew. She says that if she was HOH she would never put him up. Drew says that she made it so hard for him. He decides that after talking to the guys that he has to make his own decision. He says that Jase is so wishy washy. He hates Marvin. CB wants Marvin up. The guys talk and Jase suggests that Drew go look at the wall. He says it helps him. Holly comes in and asks if she is interrupting a boy meeting. Jase assures her that it is not her, but Drew is struggling with who to put up.

Drew does nominations. Scott says that everybody is uneasy but for the four horsemen who he is true to and of course the allies. Drew says that he wants to give this serious decison the respect and time it deserves and only hopes that each HOH gives it as much time and thought as he did. Drew calls the HOH meeting. He reminds them that it is a game and that this is not personal. Will is chosen first. Then Jase, Adria, Diane, Scott, Karen, Marvin, Michael. Holly, I want you to know the reason I have nom'd you today is your past actions in the house and you are very persuasive and the people who will make it down the road and your ability to change people's minds is the reason I put you up. Nakomis, the reason you are up is your friendships in the house and it is in my best interests to put you up. Drew thinks that these nom's are almost veto proof. Holly says that this week is different than going up last week. Jennifer says that even going up against Holly it was fun to see Scott's face and Holly's face as Holly went up. Scott says that it is not a strategic move in the DR. Holly wouldn't vote against them.

BB asks the big question, Can twins Adria and Natalie keep their big secret with only two weeks to go? Who will win veto and will they use it? Find out on Tuesday.Karen is saved and she felt like she is going to pass out when Julie spoke the way she did. Lori was evicted.

July 22, 2004 - Epsidoe 7

Both Karen and Lori want to stay in the house and both are pleading their case to eachperson without trying to campaign against the other.

Karen approaches Marvin and tells him she wants to talk. Jase and Scott see this and gets nervous and decide that they want Marvin on the blocks this next week. Diane heard them talking and told Marvin about it. Michael wants Karen and Diane up next. Diane likes both girls because they want to get all the boys out.

Lori then apologizes to Karen because she feels Karen is only there because of their friendship. Karen says not to worry about it. Karen is just upset because of how people just follow blindly some people in the house and how it is starting to turn into the Jase and Scott show. They are saying all this in front of Michael, and he thinks he is the leader sometimes.

Scott is then seen bragging to Michael how they only need two more people out and the game is over.

Now we see Adria and Natalie's family. They say the 4 Horsemen are seeing the more “in your face” aggression of Natalie.

Marvin then says Scott is the one he trusts the most and would like him to be HoH - sees him as not being corrupt by a woman in the house.

In a clip about Will, Michael shows his ignorance and asks Will if he crossdresses. Scott tell shim that that is a darg queen. Will informs him of the difference of drag queens and cross-dressers, and that not all gay guys want to be a woman, and not all are drag queens. Will then goes on to say that him, Karena d Lori all wanted to play the game honestly and not give up their moral values. He doesn't know how he will vote between the two.

Time for the eviction - after all the votes are counted, Lori is evicted by a vote of 7-2.

Time for the HoH competition. Its called High or Low. The houseguests are blindfolded and standing onthe middle of 3 stairs. Julie will ask a question about the houseguests or the Big Brother house that involves a number. The houseguests have to determine if the correct answer is higher or lower than the number Julie used in the question. If they think the answer is higher, they step up to the top step. If they think the answer is lower, they step down to the next step. If they are incorrect, then they are eliminated from the HoH competition. If they answer correctly, they are moved back to the middle step and continue in the game.

The first question - How many of the current houseguests are presently married? Is the correct answer Higher or Lower than 3. The correct answer is Lower - 2. Holly, Scott and Diane were eliminated.

The second question - Not counting tonight, how many nights have the houseguests spent in the house? Is the correct answer Higher or Lower than 19? The correct answer is Higher - 20. Will was eliminated.

The third question - Of the 13 houseguests, how many attended college? Is the correct answer Higher or Lower than 9? The correct answer is Higher - 11. The only one to correctly guess the answer was Drew.

Drew wins HoH. Scot and Jase act like asses and rejoice in front of everyone. Drew admits he got lucky and that his answer was a total guess. Return to top

July 20, 2004 - Episode 6

This episode starts off with a rehash of the key ceremony and head all the bull about why they were nominated.

Jase sees Lori as a gamer/player, the Queen, and a threat. He sees Holly as trusting him and Scott.

The group of Will/Diane/Jennifer. Diane say the plan is to get Holl yout, lead the guys into believing they will vote for Lori and then at the last minute switch their vote to sve Lori and evict Holly.

Holly and Michael talk, Michael says he is not worried about her leaving, and that he feels she is safe. He also sees Diane talking Jennifer, and thinks she is trying to convince her to vote Holly out.

Michael then runs and tells the boys that something is up, and he thinks that Holly might be the one to go and that Diane is trying to get Jennifer. Scott tells him that its up to him to control his sister, adn that it is all on him.

Outside, Jennifer calls Michael over to talk. Scott sees Jennifer as the 5th vote they need to get Lori out. Jenn asks Michael who she is supposed to vote for. He informs her the goal is to vote Lori out because she has already won money. In the diary room, Jennifer says that she does not appreciate how they want to control her vote, but that she has no say so in the matter and is not given any knowledge of whats going on. She does not fly with that, and that is not how she will play.

Karen and Will are talking in the kitchen about not showing their cards too soon, and that they want to make the guys wonder when its reveled who is evicted, and that they will keep claiming they voted for Lori and maybe cause the guys to get paranoid about one another. They are calling it “Operation Security Blanket.” Will wants to lull the boys into a false sense of security and then rip it out from under their ignorant feet.

Everyone drools over Drew - Diane talks about him all the time. The girls consider him the All American Sweetheart.

Jase, Drew and Diane are in the cloud room talking, and Jase asks Diane what she is thinking about the votes. She tells him she could care less who goes, she likes them both. Then Scott walks in and starts beiung ery rude and derogatory to Diane, calling her stupid and white trash. She leaves the roomand is sitting in the kitchen with some others telling them why she is crying, and Scott has to follow her, and then acts surprised when he is called out for his behaviour. She then leave the house to go out in the backyard. Jase and Holly then try to console her about it. Scott then says that where he comes from, when you talk, you have to face up to your consequesnces, saying she talks a lot of trash and she has no power.

After the commercial break we get to see Meathead Scott showing off - thinking he is bringing levity to the house and relieving the stress. Everyone sees this as attention whoring antics. Outide around the pool, he starts braging about being in Playgirl, and hsi reasoning on it is that it got him laid. Everyone is tired of him talkig about how hot he is and what a great body he has etc. He spends lots of time in the mirror preening and calling himself a sexy bitch.

Jennifer is then talking with Karen, and admits that she is playing the dumb goth kid and no one sees her as a threat. She also admits that she and Michael have nothing in common and she can't stand being around him. She can't see being int he same room with him for any extended amount of time because they haveno common interests. She wouldn't align with him even if she had known him for years and she has no trouble voting him out.

Lori tells Karen she wants to go home. Karen can't even imagine voting for her to leave. Lori tells Will this, and Will tries to conince her otherwise. Will talks to the girls, and they affirm they have 4 votes, and that it is just a matter of getting Diane's vote. WIll assures them Diane is in. They decide they will vote to keep Lori no matter what. Karen then tells Lori and she is okay with it.

Lori then says if she wins veto, then shewould leave things the way they are.

Everyone talks about Adria and how cool and sweet she is. Then we see the 6th switch.

Marvin calls everyone together and tells them that it is time for them to pick their players for the veto competition - Marvin picks Drew, Lori picks Karen and Holly pick Jase. Marvin picks will to be the game host.

In the Veto competition, eachplayer has a colored ring attached toa rope. The rope is run through each of 4 walls througha different hole on each wall, and the ropes are all tangled up between the walls. The object is to untangle the rope and pull it through the right hole with no kinks in the rope. The rope must be puled copletely thought all 4 walls and thenthe colored rings. The player who places the colored ring on the Veto stand is the winner of the Power of Veto. At the end of the competition, Jase wids up the winner.

Holly is proud of Jase. Will and Karen se this as the worst possible scenario for them. Karen feels Jase will pull Holly off. Scott and Jase have to conference. Adria follows them into the room. They tell her that they can't trust her, but they also tell her that Will/Karen/Lori are a team, and feels that they need to split them up. Jase then goes to Marvin and tells him he plans to pull Holly. Mavin feels that if Lori escapes eviction, that she will come after him, if she wins HoH. He also tells Jase that he will put Karen of someone else up if he pulls Holly. However, Marvin is upset about this, since that would mean 3 enemies in the house for him.

Holly then pleads to Jase about how she wants to stay in the house. But she also tells him that she wants him to do what he feels he needs to do and she doesn't want to tell him what to do.

The girsl are going crazy thinking of all scenarios. They try to let everyone know that Holly is safe, this was maybe they won't use th Veto and leave things the way they are.

Then all the girsl do Jennifers hair - she wants a mohawk.

Jase calls teh Veto meeting, he decides to use it to save Holly. Marvin selects Karen to go up because she is Lori's main ally. Jase using the Veto pissed Marvin off. Return to top

July 17, 2004 - Episode 5

This episode starts with comments about last weeks eviction. Scott says he didn;t say goodbye to Mike becuase he is glad he is gone. Karen was glad Mike left, just because she was happy to see finally leaving. Jase then comments that he felt his tenure as HoH was a success becuase everyone kept to the plan the 4 Horsemen wanted. he also considers Marvin an outer horseman so the 4 Horsemen are still in power.

Lori confesses that she would have been happier if it were anyone other than Marvin in HoH. Jase thinks Marvin will be a good HoH. Holly feels like hse is in trouble with Marv in HoH.

Adria feels very lost in the house right now, since she just came back in the house from her switch. She tried to keep it in control by not giving too much away. In part of her conversation with Michael about digging in and wanting to win, he admits he has a game face (ha). Adria also informs the viewers that she keeps a big glass of water with her to cover up her face with, and just kind of drifts around in conversation instead of staying one too long.

Marvin then shows off his HoH room, and everyone does the mandatory “kiss ass” to him while seeing his room.

Karen says that she thinks the boys will start kissing Marvs ass, and she is just planning on sitting back and watching. She says Holly will keep kissing the guys' asses and in turn the boys will kiss Marvs' ass. Her and Will decide they will just stand back and let everyone else doing the brown nosing, and they will not change the way they have been playing. It seems that these two ar working together and are close, since neither want to be there without the other one.

Now we get to hear about how they are short of food, and how some stuff was pulled out and not used and it spoiling. This is the setup for the food competition. Marvin then comes out of the HoH with gift bags that contain bandanas. Jase believes this to be a sign from God (4 Horseman + Bandanas - ugh). The backyard is decorated like a barnyard. The food competition is called the Catapoultry - they houseguests each have 5 rubber chickens they have to shoot with a catapult at a wall full of nest boxes. At the end of 5 minutes what ever chickens land in labeled nest boxes, they get as food. However, there is a “bad eggs” nest box; if the houseguests hit it, then all the nest boxes are dumped out and they losse everything they had earned to that point. Then the nest boxes reset and they can continue to shoot chicken until time is up.

During the first 3:45 they did well, earning lots of food. Then Will makes his last turn and hits a bad eggs nest box. He took this very hard. Jase acts like a complete jackass about it in confession. For the remaining 1:15 they can try to earn some of what they had. Scott keeps yelling for beer. After it was said and done - Scott earned seafood, and thinks he stepped up to the plate and hit a homerun, Michael and Karen earn bacon and eggs, and Jase earned mile and butter. This means no PB&J for the week. Then Scott makes the comment that he didn't care about the food, he just wanted the beer.

After the food competition - Will breaks down in the house. Ithe took the food competition very hard. Scott and Jase are both making remarks about the food stuff they will not get and making him feel worse. He gets tot he point he calls them unintelligents and neanderthals, and then points out all the “gay” remarks they are making in the household, and how they are not in good hearted ways. He finally confesses that he hates them, and has nothing nice to say about them. H also feels that they go out of their way to make him an outsider in the house.

Scott brings up Jase and Holly's relationship. Him and Michael are int he diary room and think Jase is head over heels for Holly and that his head is not in the game. They also feel Holly is playing him and hope that he will get his head on straight because he is the only horseman whose head is not in the game. Then we see a conversation with just the 4 horsemen - Scott thinks Marvin is good for the 4 Horsemen, and in his mind, is already out of the house. He sees Marvin as the only other guy in the house. He also thinks the 4 horsemen run the house.

Outside in the hot tub, Jase sarts telling stories about how older women want him and offer to pay him and buy him things. Holly sees him as bragging about being a gigilo. This talk makes Holly mad and she goes in and grabs Diane. She tells Diane that Jase told her not to talk to Diane. Diane then tells Holly that from Day 1, Jase has claimed his goal was to fuck with Holly, then he started likeing her. Diane also tells Holly that the guys are just playing her, and that seeing Holly and Jase together like that are is making Holly a target. Holly gets mad at Jase and then confronts him about it. They have kind of a fight outside, and Jase then tells her that he feels that Holly is playing him.

Inside the house, Michael and Scott have a unique relationship. Scott wants to giv Michael a make-over - he shaves racing strips in thehair on Michaels legs, he shows Michael how to flat-iron his hair, and then Scott even shapes and trims Michale goatee. Will sees Michael as a reed blowing in the wind and that the guys are using him and controlling him. Michael calls Scott “daddy”. Scott always tells Michael when he is going to bathe, and Michael usually joins him.

Jase calls Lori out about the Holly/Diane talk - wrong person Jase. Lori goes inside and yells at Holly about it, and tells Holly she is trying to stay out of her Jase's relationship. Holly tells her she did not tell Jase that she said anything. Then Holly yells at Jase. Lori explains that she felt insulted by the way he called her out for something she did not do. Asks that if Jase, or anyone, is going to call her out again, to please do it in private or handle it differently. Jaseis confused, but admits in the diary room, that he thought Holly told him it was Lori, when it was really Diane. Marvin says that Jase and Holly are too much of a distraction in the house.

The we see Jase brag abot how the 4 horsemen control the house. Marvin goes into the HoH room, Scott was laying on Marvs' bed, and Drew and Jase follow to discuss the nominees. Scott wants to offer their opinion first, but its his call and they will back whatever he chooses. Marvin admits wanting to go for Lori first. He thinks he can get Adria to vote for Lori with a promise that she is safe. Scott then runs and appraoches Michael to help get Jennifer's vote sealed up. Jennifer says she can't promise anything yet, since she likes everyone, and Michael will not tell her who they want her to vote for. She feels that if they trust her for her vote, then they need to trust her and tell her who it is. Jennifer is going to play be her rules not theirs. Marvin does call Adria in and asks her for her vote, she hesitates at firts, and wants his assurance that he will not tell anyone if she does it. Marvin feels that when she looked in her eyes, that she lied to him, and figures she will switch soon.

Marvin goes and gets the keys and is struck by Mike's black and white photo, and nows that could have just as easily been his photo. While Marvin is doing the keys, Holly says it is tense int he house, no one is trusting each other. Marvin ays he has to wrry about retribution from the nominees, and knows that Veto can change everything if it is used, and knows he owuld be in trouble then. He wants the houseguests that this is his duty, and not a personal idictment of anyone, and that is should be taken as more of a compliment since he is going after the strongest and most influential people first.

As the keys are removed, Jse and Scott start sweating when they do not come up very early, Scott is actually the last key. Marvin placed Holly and Lori up for eviction. He thinks Lori is the strongest inthe game, that it is nothing personal, but feels she is the most influential with the guys and girls, and he also reminds her of the $10k. As for Holly, he also feels that sheis influential in her relationship with Jase, and thinks she has a lot of control over him. After it is said and done, Will says that after the ceremony it is like a funeral because you don't know what to say to the nominees. Return to top

July 15, 2004 - Episode 4

The night start with Julie reminding us about Project DNA. However, she reviles to us that since Day 2 a pair of identical twins havebeen switching out places and playingthe game as one person. The viewers will find out who it is and visit with both before the hor is over.

We then hear from Jase, talking about how he is the puppet master of the game and the “4 horsemen” are working for him. Marvin thinks Jennifer needs to go because of the brother in the house thing. Michael tries to bring her in with the guys thinking it will make her safer, but she also feels like she is in with the girls. Some people in the house see her a floater who can make some problems in the house as far as alliances go.

Holly is doing her best to kiss up to Jase by making him a special plate of food. Lori thinks both are annoying, and wonders what their relationship really is.

Mike continues topoint out the obvious to the houseguests and informs Lori and Will about Jase and Scott, he feels that maybe if he plants enough seeds they will see whats happening and will try to shake it up some. Drew and him converse a lot, and Drew relies on him for some ideas on strategy. Drew confesses to seeing him as a father figure. Maybe this shows that drew will actually play the game and not just ride the coattails of Jase and Scott.

Jase and Scott are already getting cocky and thinking about the end, which is usually a bad sign. Of course this is played out live so who knows.

Lori confesses to Julie that she did have regrets about taking the money at first, but she said everyone in the house was supportive of her and she became more comfortable with her decision.

In a fluff peice, we see Michael and Jennifers hillbilly dad. He is kind of scary and listening to both Michael and his dad talk you can tell they have some shared genetics .

Julie has her one on one with Jase inthe HoH room, and asked him about the spyscreen - he says he regrets not showing it to everyone and that the next HoH can have the responsibility, and he will act like he did not know. He loved being HoH because everyone was kissing his ass, but now after he is out of HoH he can do what he has to do to show the people in the house he trusts them since he can look at them and say he likes them.

The first eviction is held, and Mike is voted out unanimously. He has no regrets and is kind of glad its over. He said the days were gruelling and that he is ready to go home and be with his family.

The next HoH competition takes place and it is called Majority Rules. Julie asks a series of questions about the houseguest, and when they answer, they should answer on what they think the majority of the house thinks. If they are wrong, they are eliminated. With question 1 - Will, Adria, Scott and Drew all went out. Second question only Diane was eliminated. The third question knocked out Karen and Jennifer. Te next three questions everyone tied, so no one was eliminated. Julie resort to a tiebreaker to determine from Marvin, Lori, Michael and Holly in the running. The question was how many yellow balls did they houseguests collect during the food challenge. Marvin wins the head of household by guessing 81 balls, when the answer was 100. He was the closest without going over.

Julie then begins to explain the new Project DNA twist. The twin switching. All the houseguests have joked about this scenario since they found out Diane and Drew were both from twins. Little did they know it was true, there really are twins playing the game. Every few days they switch out in the Diary room. The twin not playing is kept in seclusion, fed the same thing the other twin eats, and is ignorant of the goings on in the house. When they switch they are given a few moments to bring each other up to date. If the twins make it halfway throug the summer without being discovered, then both twins will get to play in the house at the same time. However, only one twin can win. She then reviels that the twins doing the switching are Adria and Natalie. hey have switched 3 times so far (sometimes they are switched for a day, sometimes 3). In this episode we get to see them switch live. Each time they switch, they get 15 minutes to fill the other one in. The only telling signs about the twins, Adria has a small scar by her nose, and Natalie has a small mole near her nose - both feature in the center of the face. Return to top

July 13, 2004 - Episode 3

This episode starts off gving us the recap of who was put up for evitcion and why. Jase explains how Jennifer is a pawn, that she is really safe, especially up against someone like Mike “The Don”. Everyone has informed her that she is safe, but she is not holding her breath on that, she knows how this game works and how the pawn is not always the safe one.

Then we see Mike, as he approaches Marvin and Will. He tries to explain to them how he sees things and how things will play out if people do not start working against Scott and Jase. However, Will and Marvin refuse to believe him. After that. we see how everyone is afraid to even talk to Mike because they are afraid of repercusions from Scott and Jase. Mike walks out and even asks if he can still join the “group” sitting outside to talk, and after he does, people slowly get up and walk away, leaving him alone outside. In confession, several people express how they feel that if they talk to him that they are putting themselves in danger. We also see how Jase put Diane's key in last to make her sweat and all, just to let her know that it could have been her because of her scheming with Mike.

Then the scene cuts to outside, where Adria starts her “abs” class workout, and most of the girls participate, while the guys sit and drool - especially Marvin who likes Adria's ass.

Inside, as a few people are talking around the abr int he kitchen, Scott is talking about competitions, making it osund like he “let” Jase have the HoH, and really downplaying their relationship. Mike lashes out about to Scott bout alliances. Scott denies him and Jase have anything goingon, while Mike is just pointing out the obvious. Mike then made the comment that Jennifer and Michael are the two weakest players there, and Michael overheard that in the hallway.

Just for fun, we get to see Holly's ditzyness. She informs the group she owns a manikin, and that it lives with her in her apartment. She also tells them about her friend who also owns manikin, and that they set the manikins up on a date. It got really goofy. Some girls confess that Holly is starting to get on everyones nerves. Jase thought she was hot and then realized how dingy she is. Diane thinks that she might be playing it up, and using the ditzyness as a strategy.

Later we see Michael go out sid and appraoch Jennifer. He tells her that he is not ignoring her, he just thinks its better that they not spend too much time together so no one will think they have an alliance. She agrees with this, and tells him she feels the same way. She also says that they can always bond later. They agree that they do not want their actions in the house to be taken wrongly by the other, and that the situation is really strange since they just found out about one another and are trying to play the game at the same time.

Jase then announces a gathering, calling everyone in to the living area. In the meeting he pulls out the Power of Veto instructions, and reads them to the group. As usual, winning the Power of Veto lets a person save a nominee from being evicted. The twist this year is that only 6 people get to participate. Three of the contestants are the two nominees and the HoH. The other three are chosen by these people, one for each person. Each person choen must participate.

After this we see another confrontation - Mike and Jase. Jase tells him that there is no alliance between him and Scott. Mike asks him who will compete with him the Veto competition, saying he knows he will choose Scott because they have something going on. Jase then tries to say that Mike is on the blocks because he was the first to try to make an alliance, which is not true - Will and Lore were (but it was about the same time as the 4 guys teamming up).

Thjen we see the guys standing inside watching Will and the girls, and saying they can't tell if he is gay, they think he is, but he is not too gay to freak them out. Then we see Will talking with Drew and Marvin, and telling them he is gay (how he has enough butchnes to balance out the efeminate side). Mike was walking by at this time and is kind of stunned to hear Will is gay. He has no problem with it, and asks him how he feels about gay marriage. (How did he not know Will was gay?? I knew fromhis photo). Of course, Marvin claimed to know the whole time.

Now we see everyone complaining about PB&J. After seeing everyone talk about it, they then open the storage room and it is filled with food. Lots of food and it is theirs until the next food competition.

Adria starts talking with Diane about a girls alliance. They realize the guys are in power and working together, and that Scott and Jase are the lynch pins. They also think they can swing Will to work with them.

Now its time for the Golden Veto competition. Jase picks Scott, Mike picks Holly, and Jennifer picks Drew. The challenge is the Flamingo frenzy. They have three rings to toss and try to ring a flamingo in different zones (zone 1 being the easiest, zone 2 harder, zone 3 even harder, and zone 4 the hardest and furthest away). One at a time, they go in order, once they ring a flamingo, they can challenge another player. The challenger then has to go - if the ring a flamingo in a lesser zone, they are out, if they ring a flamingo int he saem zone, they are still in, and if they ring a flamingo in a greater zone, then they eliminate the other player.

First up in Drew - he rings one in zone 1, and challenged Mike. Mike goes and rings one in ZOne three on his first try, so Drew is knocked out. Then Mike hs his turn, and again rings zone 3. He challenges Jase. Jase has tot ake a couple of tris, but does ring one in zone 3 to save himself with a tie. Scot goes and fails to ring any. Holly throws the first ring in the complete wrong direction, but eventually rings none. Jennifer also rings none. In round 2, Mike goes first and rings zone 3 and challenge Jase again. Jase rings one in zone 4 andknocks Mike out. Scott then goes and rings on in zine 2, and challenges Jennifer, who did not even try for it and wound up ringing one in zone 1, so she is eliminated. Jase goes and rings one in zone 1, challenges Holly, who again fails to ring anything. This leaves Jase and Scott in for Round 3. Scott goes and rings one in zone 3, Jase fails to ring any, so he is eliminated. scott gets the Power of Veto.

Scott then brags about how much power him and Jase have in the house. Diane wants to shake it up. She goes around and reaffirms her alliances with all the girls. Then she goes to Will and he agress an that they have to be sly about how they do it. Then Will is curious as to where he stands in the scheme of things, and she mentions that she want to keep him and Drew around, and will take them as far as possible. Will thinks she screwed herself by saying that. Will goes and finds Drew after that, and takes him into the HoH room and tells him about this. Jase walks in and interrupts them. Will leaves and Drew tells Jase everything about the girls.

Then Jennifer changes hair color - it is not green.

Now Scott comes around and has heard about the girls thing, and heis talking to the 4 guys about using the Veto and put either Adria or Diane up in the place of who ever he saves. He mentions going to Mike and asking him to guarantee that he would not put him or Jase up andhe would use it to pull him. After this we see Jase call everyone together for the Veto ceremony. He gives his speech “blah, blah, blah”. He telsl Mike that Jase put him up because they think he is a schemer/gamer, that this is the way they see it. He does not use the veto, nominees stand as such. If everyone paid attention, then they just heard Scott admit to their alliance.

In the previews we see Will say in confessional that he is going to try to encourage the girl vs guy thin to keep things ruffled up. We are also told that we find out who the twins are, but I think they should not inform us yet - hopefully they will not tell the houseguests, but maybe the viewers. Return to top

July 8, 2004 - Episode 2

The episode starts off with everyone congratulating Jase, and Will says that everyone is threatened by the Jase-Scott alliance.

Then Jase gets his key to the HoH room and everyone gets to go in and see it. Jase thinks “it is like a Sultan's lair.”

Then we start to hear Michael talk about the whole sister thing, and we see him staring creepily at Jennifer every where. This leads to Michael calling Jase and Scott into the cloud room and informing them of what he has found out about Jennifer. Both are kind of flabbergasted and decide to bring Marvin and Drew into the room and tell them. At first they are all accusing him of lying, and are suspicious as to his motives since he waited until after Jase got HoH to tell them. He tries to explain to them how he found out and pieced it together. Michael then informs them of his priority being his sons and fiance, and that this will have no bearing on his game play. So, after he told these four, they decide as a group to call Jennifer (I refuse to call her Nicomus) into the room and tell her. Jennfier thought they we messing with her, and Michael receives lots of different reactions from everyone in the room. She looks kind of stunned and in shock, and not sure what to believe. At this point, they decide to have a meeting will all the Houseguests and tell them. Scott is seen in confessional saying he doesn't believe them. None of them know exactly how to respond to the news, and many are freaked out. Then the voice comes in over the speakers asking Michael and Jennifer to go to the Confessional room - in there they are given letters. They return to the group and read the letters aloud. In these letters it is confirmed by Jennifer's dad that it is indeed true. Michael breaks down down while reading his, and we see him bawling his eyes out. Of course, some of the girsl are crying as well. Jennifer still shows no emotion over it, but is open to the fact of him being her brother.

After the revalatory meeting, Scott, Jase and Marvin are talking and think that Jennifer and Michael are both part of a big scam, that it is made up. Scott thinks Michael is trying to hard to pull off the whole cowboy thing. Neither Scott or Marvin are buying it.

Jase then summons everyone to the backyar for the first Luxury challenge. For the event, Jase thinks all the guys should dress up in women's underwear. Will confesses that seeing Drew's little bubble but in a thong is the hottest thing he has seen. Mike is the only one who does not dress up in women's underwear, showing his conservative side. Scott is upset about this, and feels that if Mike does not join the herd then he won't last long.

Outside, Jase reads the rules for the game, which is to make a huge margarita, and everyone has roles in it. They have 10 minutes to do it, and if they accomplish the task, then they will have a party that night with food, and they also get to unlock the hot tub. Jase assigns Holly, Lori and Karen the task of salting the rim of the glass, they have to chip the “salt” away from a huge block and then use their hands and apply the salt to the rim. Then Mike and Marvin have to move ice tot he glass - Marvin takes the bags of ice and throws them to Mike, who rips them open and empties them into the glass. Next comes the tequila - Drew and Scott have to do this. They have 5 gallon water jugs and fill them from the tequila cactus, then empties them into the glass. Next Will, Diane, Adria and Jennifer have to mix the sugar and margarita mix together and then move the mixture by buckets to the glass - Will moves the buckets using a yolk across his shoulders and then dumping the buckets in the glass. They have to fill the glass to the red line. When they do that, Michael, dressed in his lime suit, has to climb a ladder, slide down the slide intot he margarita, and then find the block of ice with the key in it. The clock winds down to the final seconds, but the group wins the food and hot tub.

The next time we see the Houseguests, they are going out to the backyard, where there is frozen margarita machines set up and a table with lots of mexican food. Holly confesses that she sees marvin as selfish and tha he was taking all the quesadillas/fajitas and not sharing any of them. We then see Marvin saying he is a bg guy and he has to have his meat, and the little skinny people are at an advantage because they don't have to eat as much. e also see Marvin trying to move in on Holly and Adria, they are his type of women and he trying to hook up with them slowly but surely. After eating, the guys (dubbed the 4 horses, Jase, Drew, Scott and Michael) have a meeting.

In this meeting they talk about Marvin adn feel he is good until week 4, and thinks that Marvin is more into the girls than the game, and that he is pissed at Lori for taking the money.

After this jase goes into the HoH room and finds a note from BB. This note tells him of the hidden screen and how to spy on Houseguests. In a stupid move, in my opinion, he shares this info with Scott, Drew and Michael. One scene we see Will sitting in the living area and hear Michael say that he sees Will as siding with the girls. After they leave the HoH room, we see Jase going from houseguest to houseguest asking them how they feel about Marvin, and asking that if he were put up would they vote for him. Mike then tells Jase he was worried because no one has approached him about anything (which we have not seen anyone do this) and that he was feeling vulnerable. Jase tell shim he thought Mike didn't like him. Mike assured him that was not the case. After Jase leaves, Diane approaches Mike about alliances. They discuss some things and she tells him that she would like to see Scott and Jase voted out early, felt like she could trust Drew, and Mike admitted he did not like Adria for some reason. She convices Mike to approach Drew, who did not agree or disagree with anything, saying he did not like the “A” word (I assume he means alliances). He tells Mike he would like to hear it from Diane, so she comes in the house and tells him the same thing. Of course after this, Drew runs to Scott and Jase and tells them everything, and they talk about how Mike is worried and sweating it.

Jase then announces it is time for the Nomination Ceremony. After it is all said and done, Mike and Jennifer are on the blocks. Jase is upset that Mike started trying to form alliances but never approached him about it, and he felt like he has not had time to get to know Jennifer. Jennifer is fine with it, she is gonna work her ass off to stay in the house and will wait and see what the Veto is about it. Return to top

July 6, 2004 - Episode 1

Julie Chen starts the so off by showing how the contestants found out about being houseguess. The contestants were shown in their hometowns with family and friends as they received the keys to the Big Brother house. Some of the goodbyes brought tears from a few of the contestants (this round of crying does not count in the questions).

Julie then tells us that the theme for this years Big Brother is Project Do Not Assume (DNA), and warns viewers that while watching we should never assume anything; letting viewers know that there are several twists in store for the Houseguests. As a hint, she teases us with the tag line that two Houseguests are actually related by blood, and they do not know it. What will they do when they find out?

After this, we finally get to see the contestants live. They are gathered outside the Big Brother house, and Julie tells them they cannot speak to one another until they get inside the house, and that they will enter the house in groups, where they will be given 1 minute to find their beds.

Group 1 consisted of Adria, Micheal, Lori and Jase - they entered the house, said hi and started running around. They found the first bedroom where the beds are shaped like cots but made of concrete and only have a thin mattress on top of it. The next bedroom they found, they decided would be fine, (it is called the Wood Room) and was made up of 4 single cots, room enough for each person in that group.

Group 2 consisted of Jennifer, Holly, Scott, Marvin and Drew - they enter the house amd immediately start talking with the others. The first group warns them of the concrete room and lead them to the “cloud room” where there is two double beds and a cot. Marvin decides to “take one for the team” and selects the cot, leaving the beds to the other 4.

Group 3 consisting of those left was Diane, Karen, Will and Mike. They had not choice but to take the concrete room, and all seemed resigned to it with no problems. One of the contestants - Diane I believe - even proclaimed that she stated “she would be sleeping her ass on concrete that night”.

After selecting their bedrooms and getting the bags in their, the contestants gather in the living room, and Michael suggests they go around the room and introduce themselves and tell where they are from and what they do. Without going through the list, here is some of the private comments made by Houseguests. Will thinks Holly is sweet but she would not be doing any long division anytime soon. Karen thinks that Marvin is over the top and a control freak. Jennifer wants to go by her name Nicomus (it means "Daughter of the Moon")- for whatever reason.

Julie interrupts chimes in just a the introductions finish telling the houseguests its time for the food challenge since the only food in the house is peanut butter and jelly. So, the houseguests go outside and are to stand on a mat and wait for her there. The houseguests walk out to find a huge double-helix (DNA, get it) shaped contraption, laying on its side, with little balls attached to the sides. Julie tells the houseguests that each person will have 75 seconds to climb the rungs and make their way from one end to the other, and only grabbing the yellow balls. Each yellow ball has a food item or group on it. If the contestant falls off of it, they are out of the competition, and if they fail to reach the end of the ladder in the time aloted, then that person fails to earn any groceries. The contestnts went as followed:
Michael- good
Jase - good
Drew - good
Will - good
Jennifer - good
Karen - good
Lori - good
Holly - failed
Scott - good
Adria - good
Diane - good
Mike - good
Marvin - good

Then each contestant had to empty their bag into the tub, and show what each person earned the house. Holly, who ran out of time, just acted like a big old ditz (of course, she that was her strategy tot he game as well), and Marvin, who went last, only had two balls in his bag. However, Lori, as she was emptying her bag, found a ball that said “Lobster Tail” on it, and Julie told her to hold that one out for now. After everyone had finished emptying their bag, Julie came back to Lori.

Julie warned the viewers “do not assume”, and here is one of the first of many twists. Julie had Lori open the ball, inside the ball was a key. She told her to then take the key and open the locked box that had been sitting there that no one made a comment about. Lori opens the box, and inside was $10,000. The money is Lori's to keep, BUT is she keeps the money then the house loses all the food they just earned, and everyone has to eat PB&J. However, if she declined the money, then the would go down the line and offer the money to each contestant and the ame decision. After a few moments of decision time, Lori decides to take the money, not trusting the other houseguests enough to pass on it, and not wanting to lose it to someone else. After Lori decides to take the money, a few groans errupt, but for the most part, they all give her a hug. Will admits that he was hoping she would take the money, and he admits, that if it were him, he would have. Then Jennifer is shown as the first to complain about having to eat her PB&J, then Marvin, after talking about how solid and sexy he is, figures he will look like Whitney Houston after a wek of PB&J.

After thay all get back in the house, groups start to line up. But before that, Will admits his gayness to Lori, and the become best buds.

The first group that seems to come together is the frat guys - Drew, Scott, Jase and Michael (he is not a frat guy). In private, Jase says they shouldn't trust him. Diane comes along about the time they dedicate that they will not nominate any of the 4 ever, and they ask her who she thought should be the first to go - she said Jennifer. The four guys do not count Diane as pat of their “never nominate” group, but do count on her for the 5 to vote someone out. Nothing was solidified with her though.

The other group that seems to get together is Will, Karen and Lori. They talk about working together and who to recruit for their cause - Will mentions Mike, but Karen says that Diane thinks he is creepy. Anyway, at present, those without a group are Marvin,Mike, Jennifer, and Holly.

Julie then tells us who are related - Jennifer and Michael - have the same dad but do not know it. Michael has never met his dad, but knows his name and some background info. After a segment where is shows them both talking about their dad, we hear the whole story about how Michale's mother left Houston after he was born. Jennifer was also born in Houston, but it was after Michael and her father was married to her mom - not sure if he cheated with Michael's mom or if they married after the fact. Anyway, Michael's dad has had nothing to do with him since and does not know he exists (or if he does, has not admited to it). Blah, blah, blah. both exclaim how they would like (Michael) a younger sister so he could protect her, and (Jennifer) wants an older brother so she could beat him up.

Back to the house. As the guest were sitting around the pool, Michael asks what everyone's last name is. It comes around to Jennifer and she says her last name is Dedmon - which is the last name Michael knows for his dad. He asks another question about where she was born. Then is shows more clips of them in conversation throughout the game where he asks her more and more about her dad. He finally pieces it together, but has not told her, and is not sure what he will do. In one confession, Michael sighs heavily, but not sure if he was crying. I could not tell for sure so I think this question has not been answered yet. However, in preview we do see him bawling like a baby, so he might be our first cryer.

In the house, everyone is summoned to the living room for the first Head of Household competition. Julie tells everyone to pair up into two member teams, and one personwould be the odd man out. Will offers to be the odd man out. He will not participate in the main challenge for HoH. The challenge is that one team member will answer yes and no questions while the other walks on a treadmill. Each time an answer is wrong, the treadmill will speed up, while correct answers will not affect the speed of the treadmill. As people fall off the treadmill, they will land in a pit of mud, and the team will be eliminated from the competition. Teams went as followed:
1st out - Adria and Marvin. 2nd out was Mike and Jennifer, 3rd out was Diane and Holly, 4th was Michael and Drew. This leaves two teams still going - Karen and Lori, and Jase and Scott - Karen and Scott on the treadmill. After the next couple of question, Julie runs out of them. This leaves the two teams stil going, but with each 5 minutes they raise the speed of the treadmill. Diane had been running for a while, and Scott had been on a liesurly walk for most of the time because Jase had been answrering the questions correctly. Eventually, Diane loses her footing and falls off. So Jase and Scott go to the next round, as well as Will, to determine the HoH. Well, Will is not in the running for HoH, but he does ask the question that decides it. Jase and Scott had to decide who will answer the question - if the person is right, then they are HoH, if they are wrong, then the other person gets HoH. Jase answers the question correctly and is the first HoH. This ends the first episode of BB5.

Julie then leaves us with another twist - one of the contestants has an identical twin (to the point that the family even mixes them up) and that they would be interchanging throughtout the game playing as one person and the only people to know would be the twins. We know of two contestants that have a twin - Drew (not identical enough - seen in the opening of seeing how the contestants were told about being on BB5) and Diane (she says it, but have not seen her). So, is there another contestant who has a twin, or will it be Diane? Return to top
