NO REPRIEVE FOR DANA & JUN
Alison's nominations have everyone talking, and many of her own allies disagree with her decision to nominate Jun and Dana instead of Justin. Meanwhile, the catfight continues as Dana and Alison butt heads and talk trash. After a Power of Veto Competition that has the HouseGuests searching for snakes in the grass, Robert wins the power to change the nominations, but fearing for the safety of his alliance, he opts to keep the nominations intact.
ALISON "MAKES OUT" ALRIGHT
After the nomination ceremony, Nathan expresses his disappointment to Alison in the backyard, saying he has a "gut feeling" that Justin should be the next one to go. Alison does her best to explain her nomination strategy, and implores Nate to "trust" her decision.
Meanwhile, Dana is wise to Nathan's dismay, reporting to the other HouseGuests that he is "pissed off" at Alison for not nominating Justin. Perpetually pissed Dana sounds off about Alison's disregard for the original plan to evict the exes first, and Jun is quick to point out to Dana that Dana was, in fact, the one who "started the movement" when she betrayed her original alliance by nominating Alison and Dave.
But it seems Nathan's not the only one discouraged by Alison's nominations. Jack is "stunned" by Alison's decision, and Erika points out that the original allies are "going after each other" instead of voting off the exes as planned. As Jack, Nathan and Erika discuss this, Ali joins them, and eventually agrees to nominate Justin if the Power of Veto is used.
OPERATION OSCULATE?
Is it part of Alison's strategy to use her feminine wiles, or is she just trying to break a BIG BROTHER record? In a tactical maneuver that could be called "Operation Osculate," Alison has locked lips with Justin, Dave and Nathan during her four weeks in the House. In Nathan's words, "when she wants it, she wants it." After some teasing from her housemates, it's pointed out that she's not the only one doing the tonsil tango. Other HouseGuests that have sucked face in the House: Dave and Amanda, Michelle and Nathan, and Justin and Dana. Is it true love, or is BIG BROTHER putting something in the peanut butter?
Erika--who for the record has not kissed anyone while in the House (so far)--is getting serious about playing the game, saying, "Maybe it's time to get dirty." Nothing gets you dirtier than a little mud slinging, and she's hard at work, kicking up dust by spreading a little gossip between Alison and Dana.
GROWN-UPS IN A HOUSE FULL OF KIDS
So far, Jack's attempts to explain strategy to his younger housemates have been futile. Week after week, Jack has tried to steer his allies in the right direction, but typical of all kids, they haven't listened to their elder's advice. But Jack's not giving up on today's youth. He gives Dana a pep talk, encouraging her to not "over think" the game. But will she heed his advice? Jack and Erika discuss Dana's present predicament, and note that she would not be on the chopping block if she had listened to their words of wisdom. Jack, 58, and Erika, 33, call themselves the "parents of the House," and Erika says they feel "frustrated with their kids making bad decisions." The only thing to do, they conclude, is to take power in the House by winning Head of Household in the next competition.
Two of their kids, Jun and Jee, seem to be getting along much better than earlier in the game. The former flames are talking now, and Jun says, "The ice has melted." But the two are wary of being too friendly, for fear of revealing their "silent alliance," and Jun advises Jee to vote with his allies, Robert and Justin, so that no one suspects their covert coalition.
