ALISON SAVES HERSELF…AGAIN
Wondering what Amanda, Michelle and David have been up to since leaving the House? David spends his days surfing, while Michelle is taking classes at Florida State University and Amanda is back to work in Chicago. David and Amanda both say they have "no regrets" about their romantic rendezvous, and they have kept in touch, even spending a little time together since leaving the House. David's ex, Michelle, is "disgusted" with David for lying to her about his relationship with Amanda and is upset that everyone in the House lied to her. All three agree, however, that if given the chance, they'd do it all again.
With three guys and one girl in the Jury House, Nate is hoping the next evictee to join them will be of the female variety, but is still happy to be reunited with Jee. The jury watches footage of the goings-on in the other BIG BROTHER House, and Jack correctly notes that "the women have taken over the House!"
Back in the BIG BROTHER House, Julie reminds Alison of her options as the Power of Veto holder, telling her that if she decides to use the Veto, Erika will automatically be the replacement nominee. Alison keeps it short and sweet, telling her housemates she can't risk being evicted, and she takes herself off the chopping block. Erika, the new nominee, takes her place in the hot seat, and awaits Alison's decision.
ALI'S CHOICE
As Head of Household, Robert cannot vote, so Alison casts the sole vote, and must choose to evict either Erika or Jun. Before the live vote, the nominees get a chance to plead their case to Alison. Erika says "there isn't anything I haven't already said," and leaves it up to Alison. Jun tells Alison that she knows what a "tough decision" Alison has, and she knows that she will base her decision on strategy. Alison stands before the two nominees, and, shedding tears, votes to evict Erika.
In the studio with Julie, Erika says that she doesn't "blame" Alison for her decision, and she knows Ali plays the game "emotionally." She adds that she thinks out of the three remaining players, Alison is the strongest contender. When asked about her relationship with Robert, Erika says she is glad they mended fences and thinks they will continue a "friendship" outside the House.
THIS ONE'S ON THE HOUSE
Julie explains that this week's Head of Household Competition will have three parts. The person who wins Round 1 automatically advances to Round 3. The other two HouseGuests will battle it out in Round 2; the winner of that round goes to Round 3 to face off against the winner of Round 1. The stakes are high, because the final Head of Household is guaranteed to make it to the Final Two.
The HouseGuests head outside, where they find three miniature houses. They take their places on the A-Framed roofs, where they must keep their balance, and one hand on their key. They cannot sit, eat, or take bathroom breaks. And as if this isn't tough enough, Christmas comes early to the BIG BROTHER House, and snow starts pelting down on the three HouseGuests. This is an endurance test, and the last one standing wins Round 1, and a chance of being the final Head of Household.
