CRIMES OF FASHION
Perhaps the HouseGuests performed well in the Luxury Competition because they are so used to being scantily clad. The House uniform seems to be the bathing suit, and the eight housemates rarely don much more than that. They even cook, eat and clean in their swimsuits. But it's not Erika's teenie-weenie bikini that has everyone talking. While Erika claims she has the "best fashion sense" in the House, her housemates have her on the "worst dressed" list for BIG BROTHER 4. Citing her pink hat, bright green satin pants and pointy-toed lace-up pink boots, Erika's housemates critique her fashion faux pas. But Erika is proud of her attire, and says she tries to look like J.Lo.
The HouseGuests are given a new game, called Quoridor, a game of strategy in which the object is to get to the opposite side of the board from by forming pathways and putting up blocks against your opponents. First person to make it to the other side of the board wins. The HouseGuests practice their strategies in hopes that this game will be used for the Veto Competition. Nathan, however, decides not to over-practice, instead spending his time musing over Alison's betrayal. Although Alison assures him that he's the only one she cares about, Nate confronts her, saying, "You went behind my back and made a deal." Ali denies these allegations, but then later admits in the Diary Room that she's "playing both sides."
QUORIDOR
The time comes for the Veto Competition, and Nathan is out to win the power, saying, "I'm not counting on anyone else." As the HouseGuests hoped, Quoridor is the challenge, and the housemates are divided into two groups of four: first to play are Nathan versus Justin, Jun and Robert; followed by Jee versus Erika, Alison and Jack. The winners from the two rounds will face off in a final round, and the final winner wins the Power of Veto. The goal is to get to the opposite side of the board from where you start, and in each turn you can either move one step or put up a block to stop one of your opponents. First one to maneuver successfully to the opposite side of the board is the winner.
Nate faces tough competition as Jun, Justin and Robert team up against him, and Robert wins round one. With Nathan disqualified, his only hope is for Alison to win her round, and he coaches her from the sidelines. But his coaching isn't enough to make her win, and Jee wins round two, guaranteeing another victory for the Three Stooges. Robert and Jee play a stress-free final round, and Robert wins the Power of Veto for the second week in a row.
TO VETO OR NOT TO VETO?
Is Alison having a change of heart? She seems to be campaigning for Nathan to stay when she tells the Stooges that if they keep Nathan, he will make sure Jack and Erika are the next two to go. But perhaps it's too little, too late, as Nathan continues to confront Alison for betraying him, and the two get into a little spat as they share a bed--a fight that leaves Alison sleeping alone. Nathan warns her, "Don't ever come to me if you need some help," and Alison once again tells him that she's his "only friend." Nathan isn't buying it, and tells her "actions speak louder than words."
With the veto meeting just around the corner, Nathan has one last chance to convince the Stooges to keep him. He goes through Jun, a stooge ally, telling her that Robert should save Jack and replace him with Alison, and then vote her off. Jun immediately reports this piece of information to the Three Stooges, and Robert points out that Alison is "the biggest liar in the House." Was Nathan's idea enough to convince him to use the veto?
Robert calls the Veto Meeting to order, and allows the two nominees to plead their case before he makes his decision. Then, telling Jack and Nathan that they are the "strongest people in the House," he opts not to use the Power of Veto, and keeps the nominations in place. Jack says that he feels "secure," but adds that "you can never take anything for granted" in the BIG BROTHER House. As for Nathan, he says, "My back's against the wall," and knows the next few days will determine whether he stays a player in the game, or returns at the end as a juror.
