8-29-03 - POWER OF VETO COMPETITION: WHERE'S JUN?
The four housemates discover a giant apple in the backyard with a "missing" sign of Jun. The instructions on the sign inform that the apple is the first of three clues; the first person to correctly guess where Jun is wins the Power of Veto. When a HouseGuest is ready to guess, they must ring the bell in the backyard, and then write their answer on a piece of paper, which they then put into a box in the Diary Room. But each housemate is only allowed one guess, and if no one guesses correctly, Jun will win the Power of Veto.
Clue #2 appears in the backyard, and it's a videotape. The HouseGuests are puzzled and "confused," and Robert says the two clues are "not enough to make a guess." The HouseGuests get their third and final clue, and it's an astronaut suit, which seems to baffle the players even more. Each of them concentrates on the clues, and then Robert shouts "Got it!" and rings the bell. Inside the Diary Room, he guesses that Jun is at "Space Mountain" at Disneyland. Soon after, Jee rings the bell and heads inside to write down his guess, which is the Seattle Space Needle. Erika and Alison are still brainstorming on the hammock when Alison's eyes suddenly light up. She asks Erika if the trophies for the MTV Video Music Awards are in the shape of an astronaut, and feeling confident in her guess, she sprints to the bell, with Erika following after her. Later, Jun's whereabouts are revealed, and Alison wins by being the first HouseGuest to guess correctly.
8-27-03 - HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD COMPETITION: DISAPPEARING ACT
The HouseGuests head outside for the Head of Household Competition, entitled "Disappearing Act," in which Julie quizzes the HouseGuests about the items that have gone missing from the BIG BROTHER House. After eight questions, the HouseGuest with the most points wins. Julie's first clue is "This item usually marks the spot." Alison answers correctly with "X." With one question left, Alison has one point, Robert has one point, Erika has two points, and Jun has three. At the eighth and final clue, "Name two items that were returned," Erik buzzes in, but is unable to answer. With three points, Jun becomes the new Head of Household.
8-26-03 - SPECIAL COMPETITION: ATTACK OF THE GNOMES
Remember those adorable (or if you're a gnome-a-phobe, TERRIFYING) gnomes from season three? They're back, and so is gnome-lover Marcellas! The HouseGuests put on coveralls and head to the backyard, where they find hundreds of gnomes. Marcellas's voice comes over the speakers and warns them that "the gnomes have returned and they're mad as hell." As host of the Competition, Marcellas explains the game to the HouseGuests. Inside some of the Gnomes are golden tickets. But the gnomes must be smashed to smithereens in order to find them. The first HouseGuest to find three golden tickets and hit the buzzer wins a McDonald's meal a day for five days. The winner also gets to choose a HouseGuest to join him/her each of the five days. However, some of the gnomes have black tickets inside; find a black ticket, and you're disqualified.
Perhaps letting out some aggression from the pressures in the House, the HouseGuests apply their hammers to the defenseless gnomes. Robert, Jun, Alison and Erika each get black flags, disqualifying them from winning, and Jee and Jack are neck and neck with two golden tickets each. Jee is first to get three golden tickets, winning the McDonald's food, and the third competition in a week.
8-26-03 - LUXURY COMPETITION: FASHION FIRE PIT
For the Luxury Competition, the HouseGuests are instructed to put on "primal" outfits and apply war paint, and Jee reads a list of personal clothing items that each housemate is to bring outside. In the backyard they find a roaring bonfire, causing the HouseGuests to worry about the fate of their clothing items. Jee tells them that in order to ward off "evil fashion spirits," they need to "say goodbye to fashion faux pas." Each person must take a turn and throw another HouseGuest's clothing on the bonfire. Everyone who participates wins a high-speed shopping spree at the BIG BROTHER Boutique.
Erika burns Jee's orange t-shirt, Jun burns Jack's black pants, Alison burns Jun's fishnet shirt, Jack burns Alison's short shorts, Jee burns Robert's red tank top, and Robert burns Erika's infamous pink hat. As a reward for sacrificing their fashion "don'ts," the HouseGuests get their high-speed shopping spree. They have 90 seconds in the BIG BROTHER Boutique, and they get to keep whatever they can put on. After the shopping frenzy, the HouseGuests look much better in their new designer duds.
