After six grueling hours locked in a cage without food or water, Erika outlasts the other HouseGuests and wins Head of Household--but not before making a deal with Alison and convincing Jee to sell out his alliance in order to save himself. Jee takes the bait and leaves the cage, handing the power to his allies’ enemies. Winning when it matters most, Jack and Erika triumph in their first Competition, and take power in a week that could change the course of the game. Striking when she has the chance, Erika nominates Justin and Robert for eviction, in an effort to finally break up the powerful Three Stooges.

The HouseGuests are playing the game hard, with the Three Stooges flexing their power, Jack and Erika trying to skate by, Jun and Alison floating from alliance to alliance, and Nathan scrambling for a deal that will keep him in the House. Yet despite all the different strategies, deals and alliances, it is clear that the Stooges control the game, for this week at least. In a live eviction, Nathan is evicted unanimously, and the remaining HouseGuests compete for the power in the House in an endurance-based Head of Household Competition that could last well into the night.

Nathan is not taking his nomination lying down, and he divides his time evenly between pouting, campaigning and chiding Alison for betraying him. And although Alison tells him she's his "only friend" to his face, she makes it clear in the Diary Room that she's only looking out for herself. Nathan and fellow nominee Jack can only be saved with the Power of Veto, and the HouseGuests compete in a game of strategy to win the Power. Robert, one of the Three Stooges, wins the POV, and stays true to his alliance by keeping the nominations intact. Now it's up to Jack and Nathan to do some smooth talking before their housemates vote and one of them leaves the BIG BROTHER House.
