BITTERSWEET BREAKUP
With their breakup a certainty due to their nominations, Roddy and Chiara discuss the state of their relationship. Roddy tells Chiara that she has "embarrassed" him and that he's "taken it on the chin" from her a few times. He also says he didn't like the fact that she never let an opportunity to flirt with Jason go by and that she's "taken stabs" at him verbally. Chiara says in the Diary Room that for every point Roddy made, there are 3 ex-boyfriends at home cheering him on. She also agrees that she's "gotten away with murder" her whole life. Continuing their discussion, Roddy tells Chiara that he began caring for her a lot, but that his feelings for her "plateaued."
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, they each decide to give the other a present. Chiara gives Roddy a photo of them in the hammock, but Roddy is preoccupied by the way he looks in the photo. Chiara says she was upset by his reaction, but is covering it up. Roddy gives Chiara a book written by his hero, Carl Sagan. She accepts the book, but wonders why he gave it to her, since the book's ideas run contrary to things she believes in. Despite this rocky conclusion, they confirm to each other that they intend to meet outside the House and be friends in the real world.
FINAL PLEA(SE)
In the studio, Julie asks Roddy and Chiara for their impressions of being nominees. Roddy says he doesn't think being nominated alongside Chiara was a personal decision on Amy's part, but a strategic one. Chiara says that while the stress of her nomination has turned her into "a little bit of a pain," overall it hasn't had much effect on her either. Roddy does admit that being nominated against Chiara, whom he grew extremely close to, did make things more stressful than they were last week when he was nominated against Josh. For her final thoughts, Chiara looks to each HouseGuest and simply says, "Thank you," adding that she couldn't have hoped for a better group to be with. Roddy tells them all that he loved his time in the House, and after including the names of all the evictees, says the BIG BROTHER experience has been the best of his life.
To decide their fate, Jason and Marcellas enter the Diary Room. Jason, still wrestling with the definition of "opposite," assesses that Chiara is less of a threat than Roddy and worries that if Roddy stays a few more weeks, he'll be unstoppable. Lisa says Roddy makes her nervous because he's able to "sneak around without sneaking around," but is still put off by how easily Chiara turned against her. Marcellas thinks that Chiara is solely interested in what's good for Chiara, but can't forget that Roddy aligned himself with people (Josh and Chiara) who were hurtful to the House.
AMY & JULIE CHEN
With Amy sequestered in the HoH room, Julie asks her what her motivations were in nominating Chiara. Amy repeats that it wasn't a move based on revenge for having been evicted weeks earlier, but that Chiara simply made her "uncomfortable" early on in the game. Amy also acknowledges that nominating Roddy was a risk, but one that could help in her attempt to have Chiara evicted. She adds that she'd be "extremely upset" if Roddy were to be evicted by the other HouseGuests.
KIKI SAYS GOODBYE
Julie announces to the HouseGuests that by a vote of 4-1, Chiara is evicted from the BIG BROTHER House. Chiara holds hands with Danielle and Roddy as she stands up, and gives everyone hugs and kisses as she makes her way to the door. In the studio, Julie searches for some tissues for a crying Chiara while the other HouseGuests stand around the House silently. Julie reminds Chiara that she made it halfway through the game and that despite her sadness at being evicted, she should be happy about that. Chiara also tells Julie that initially her friendship with Lisa was strategic, but that as the game wore on, it became more genuine. Finally, concerning her up-in-the-air relationship with Roddy, Chiara says that she'll wait to see what happens when she comes out, and that they have "more to explore" in their relationship.
THE NEW HoH
Amy sits on the sidelines as the other HouseGuests battle it out for the next HoH title. In a game called "Total Recall," Julie reads quotes from one of the evicted HouseGuests. The players have to maneuver a cube to display the face of the HouseGuest who said it. The first quote wipes out Lisa, Gerry, Roddy and Danielle, none of whom recall that Josh is the one who said, "I'm really shy and they're hoping this will help me bust out of my shell." With Marcellas and Jason the only ones left, they both remember that the second quote ("Let me tell you something about Veto. He wasn't pulling his weight, he wasn't doing his chores. Veto had to go.") came from Eric. On the third quote ("Two very important people are in those chairs. If I was to do wrong by one of them, I am truly sorry, but it's a decision I had to make.") Marcellas guesses incorrectly, while Jason remembers that Chiara is the one who said it. Jason wins his first Head of Household title.
