VETO COMPETITION: NIAGARA BALLS
The HouseGuests are realizing the importance of the competitions in the game, and everyone is eager to win the Power of Veto Competition. The competitors head outside, where they put on kneepads and helmets. The name of the game is "Niagara Balls," and for good reason. At the start of the game, a giant chute suspended above the HouseGuests opens up, and the HouseGuests are showered with thousands of different-colored bouncing balls. The object of the game is to collect the green balls, and the first person to fill their V-shaped container wins the Power of Veto.
It's a tough competition, with the bouncing balls flying from above and bouncing from below, and all the HouseGuests scramble to collect as many green balls as they can find. Some HouseGuests try to catch them from the air, while others opt to collect them from the ground. Jun is injured when a ball hits her in the eye, taking her out of the running, but Nathan fares well and wins the crucial competition, leaving Dana worried about her nominations remaining intact. Meanwhile, Alison seems thrilled that her partner Nathan has the power to save her from eviction, and he assures her that she "can sleep peacefully now."
SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL
It's time for another Luxury Competition, but this time there can only be one winner. The luxury prize? A private gourmet dinner, for which the winner can choose his or her dinner companion. Each HouseGuest has to fill a champagne glass, then sit in the "spin-o-matic" chair, which spins them for a dizzy 30 seconds. After the 30 seconds of spinning, the HouseGuest must put their champagne glass on a tray and walk it to a podium--without spilling--where they ring a bell to signal that they're done. Shortest time wins the luxury.
Nathan and Jack are disqualified for dropping their champagne glasses, and the others teeter their way to the podium in a hilarious wobbling fashion. Alison, a figure skater, puts her spinning skills to use and wins the competition, winning a champagne dinner for her and her guest, Nathan.
The two diners spiff up for their romantic evening, with Erika saying it's like "prom night," and Jack noting that Nathan and Alison "look like a storybook couple." Nat and Ali head to the backyard, which has been romantically transformed. From inside, Dana remarks to her housemates that "it's a waste if they don't make out." The Dynamic Duo sets the game aside for a few hours, talking about their lives and their plans for the future instead, as they flirt and drink champagne. At the end of the evening, Nathan calls it a "great experience."
NATHAN'S CHOICE
Perhaps a wee bit on the tipsy side, Alison flirts with Justin in the hot tub, and clues him in on Nathan's plan to use the Power of Veto to save her from eviction. Sitting nearby is a discouraged Nathan, who hears every word of Alison's divulgence. Later, Nathan tells Alison that she acted "like an idiot," and that he thought she had "more class than that." A spat ensues, with Nathan threatening to retract his promise to save her. While they argue in one room, Justin calls a powwow with the other HouseGuests, including Jack, Erika and Dave, to tell them what he's learned from Alison. After Nathan leaves Alison alone, Jack, Erika and Dave approach Nathan with what they've learned. David tells him that if he saves Allison, Dana will be forced to nominate David, and he encourages Nathan to decide who is more beneficial for the alliance, Alison or himself.
Finally, the time comes to find out Nathan's decision: David or Alison? After Jack pleads his case by saying that he would "like to stay and compete," and Alison says she deserves "another chance," Nathan stuns Dana by using his Power of Veto to remove Alison from the chopping block. Dana, visibly upset, tells Nathan that he is "valuing one person more than another" and chooses David as the replacement nominee. Later, Justin claims that Alison has "brainwashed" Nathan, and Dana calls Nathan's decision a "big mistake." Finding himself now in a terrible position, Dave says that he will do his best "sweet talk" his way out of the situation.
