DANA WINS POWER OF VETO, SCOTT EXPELLED
With the first nominations in place, Amanda and Jee must rely on both strategy and the Power of Veto to secure their places in the House another week. In a close contest, Dana wins Power of Veto and the power to change the course of the game. Will she use it save one of the nominees?
Conflicted by his feelings for his ex Amanda, especially after her nomination for eviction, Scott becomes reclusive, choosing to sleep during large parts of the day and drifting from one social group to another. The tension suddenly explodes, however, when he tosses furniture around the House and delivers an expletive-laden rant, in which he also refuses to go to the Diary Room when called there by producers. He later apologizes to his housemates, who nevertheless say they feel uncomfortable because of his actions. Finally, Scott does go to the Diary Room, never to return, as he was removed from the House and expelled from BIG BROTHER.
VIEW FROM THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Jee and Amanda have a tough week ahead as they face possible eviction. After Nathan's nominations are announced, the HouseGuests react in a variety of ways. But are the HouseGuests' reactions for real? Erika admits that her tears after the nominations were for strategy's sake. Meanwhile, Scott's love confessions continue as he consoles Amanda outside. Once again he reaffirms his feelings for her, even saying, "you hate me and I love you." Despite their earlier fights in the House, Scott doesn't want Amanda to go, telling her she must "fight to stay in." Meanwhile, the other nominee, Jee, is vote-counting with Justin in the hammock. After considering how each HouseGuest might vote, Jee concludes that the eviction votes "could be a little tight."
Will Jee's botched haircut win him any sympathy votes? After Scott gives Jee a horrendous "bowl" cut, Alison and Amanda make a few attempts to fix it, finally calling in the Army Ranger David to finish him up with an Army-style buzz cut. Although Jun assures Jee that his hair looks good, she later admits in the Diary Room that she thinks it "looks horrible." But Scott's influence on the House extends beyond bad haircuts. Word gets back to Dana that Scott has been calling her a "Man Troll" behind her back, and although she says she's "just going to let it go," she later says she wants him out of the House.
AGENT JACK INVESTIGATES THE HOUSE
Erika may be cleaning the House clad only in an itsy-bitsy polka-dot bikini, but retired F.B.I Agent Jack keeps his government-trained brain on the game, noting, "this is a three-month surveillance." Jack assesses each HouseGuest, saying Nathan is his strongest asset, Dana could be a double agent, Jun is a "liability," Justin is the strongest player, and Michelle is "good eye candy."
But has Agent Jack's government training prepared him for a new twist in the game? The HouseGuests learn that the Power of Veto will be "Golden" this season, meaning that the HouseGuests who are up for eviction have the chance to win the power and save themselves. This twist, of course, comes as a welcome change to nominees Amanda and Jee.
