In the Living Room, Chiara, Lisa and Danielle discuss an unsettling habit of Gerry's: He doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. Lori comes in while they're talking (with Jason and Josh having joined in), gets angry at what she perceives as a juvenile, back-stabbing conversation, and starts to yell at the group. Danielle later says, "That girl lost her ever-loving mind." Danielle takes the blame for initiating the conversation, and agrees to Lori's demand that they tell Gerry to his face what they've been talking about. Gerry enters, Danielle calmly tells him their problem and Gerry agrees to make sure it doesn't happen again. After things have calmed down, Danielle says that Lori "will get kicked out if she keeps it up," but Gerry defuses the situation by washing his hands like a surgeon after his next trip to the bathroom.
TENSIONS ESCALATE
Amy enters the bathroom area and finds Tonya and Chiara in the shower together in front of the guys. Chiara invites Amy to join them, an offer which Amy politely refuses. As Amy walks away, Chiara yells after her, "Don't say I didn't try and make a connection!" Amy rejoins Marcellas and Lori outside and tells them that she was offended by Chiara's comment, if not her actions.
Later, Gerry tells Marcellas he feels bad for "not recognizing" what he perceives as the real reasons Marcellas was the first nominee: racism and homophobia. They discuss their common religious backgrounds, but Marcellas says later, away from Gerry, that he doesn't want to be saved because he's "the black guy, the gay guy." Gerry tells Danielle of this theory in the Storage Room and volunteers to play "the race card" so she's not nominated in Marcellas's place. Danielle discounts this theory, saying she doesn't think it has anything "to do with the tea in China." Danielle immediately tells Lisa and Chiara that Gerry plans to use the Veto Power and why.
THE VETO MEETING
Gerry starts the Veto meeting by asking Lori and Marcellas why they should be saved from nomination. Lori says she went out on a limb to save Marcellas, but then begins to cry and can't continue. Marcellas eloquently explains that he understands that people found him negative the first few days, but now, "I'm down; it just took me a while to get down." Gerry gives Marcellas the Veto Power, saving him from his nomination. In an impassioned and tearful speech, Gerry says, "I allowed myself to pick on Marcellas because he's black and gay. I should have known better. That's the racism we have to confront." Lisa then nominates Amy to take Marcellas's place. Hiding any negative feelings, Amy lets out a big cheer, keeping a smile on her face the whole time. Safe, Marcellas targets Josh, whom he holds responsible for his nomination, calling him "the Antichrist" and a "cancer." Josh argues with Gerry over his speech, which Josh feels painted everyone in the House as racist and homophobic. Amy and Lori are both comfortable with their chances to survive their nominations, leaving Gerry as the focus of a lot of anger. "Gerry is a marked man," Lisa says, "If he doesn't win HoH next week, he's out."
On Thursday night, the first HouseGuest will be evicted live and a new HoH will be established. Is Amy going home, or will Lori be the first one out? Does Lisa speak for everyone when she says Gerry isn't safe? Watch Thursday night, 8:00 PM for the first live episode of BIG BROTHER 3!
