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.
ALLY IS NOT SPELLED A-L-I
Ali, a "floater" whose strategy seems to be to go wherever the power is, seems to have made an enemy in bedmate Nathan. As nominees Jack and Nate take out some aggression by working out in the backyard, they discuss Alison's betrayal, with Nathan saying, "We had a plan…she broke it." As punishment, Nathan is not speaking to Alison, unless it's to remind her how he saved her from eviction, and how she has betrayed him. Nate admits he "honestly" regrets using the Power of Veto to save Alison.
But all Nathan's guilt-tripping doesn't seem to have an effect on Ali, who calls Nathan "the biggest baby." But does she show remorse for Nathan's nomination? To Nathan's face she's sympathetic, but she's less concerned for him in the Diary Room, saying, "I'm safe, so who cares?" adding, "Nathan can kiss my ass." Perhaps Nathan is growing wise to Ali's wily ways when he says that he will no longer rely on Alison.
THE STOOGES' REVENGE
With their nominations in place, the Three Stooges are thrilled to have risen from their position as primary target to power players. And now that they have command of the House for the week, they are seeking revenge for their enemies' deceit in the week that Michelle was evicted instead of the intended evictee, Erika. During the nomination ceremony, Justin stated that he chose Jack and Nathan because of their lies to him that pivotal week, and Justin reiterates this sentiment when he says, "There's nothing in this House except your word."
Is it strategy, or just poor hygiene? Justin has the whole House talking about a certain pair of stinky blue shorts. Without a washing machine, the HouseGuests must hand wash their clothes--a task that Justin isn't fond of. Unfortunately for his housemates, Justin opts not to launder his favorite all-purpose shorts, which--after weeks of sweating and swimming--have taken on a strong odor. In Jee's words, they smell "like ass."
HOUSEGUESTS GET NEKKID
The HouseGuests get ready for another Luxury Competition, dressing in bathing suits designed especially for the Competition called "Foam Party." The girls dress in one-pieces, the guys in short shorts that leave little to the imagination. But modesty is not an option in this game. Once they get outside, they learn that letters are sewn inside their bathing suits. In order to win the Luxury Prize, each HouseGuest must remove his or her bathing suit to reveal the letter and spell out the prize by hanging the suits up on a clothesline. An industrial-size pipe pours down foam onto the HouseGuests, which they use to strategically cover themselves-but they still get quite an eyeful, as the foam does little to cover their naked bodies. Once all the suits are up on the line, the word "laundry" is spelled out, and the HouseGuests win fluff-and-fold laundry service for the week. Hopefully, Justin will have his blue shorts laundered.
