ALI AND JUN TO BATTLE FOR HOH
After enduring a nasty snowstorm, courtesy of BIG BROTHER, Alison wins Round 1 of a three-part Head of Household Competition, securing her place in Round 3 of the most crucial--and final--HoH Competition in the game. After her win, Alison continues to feed both Robert and Jun lies, telling both of them she will take them to the Final Two. But with only three people left in the game, it's the Head of Household Competition that matters most, and Jun beats Robert in Round 2 of the crucial Competition, which puts her up against the always-determined Alison for Round 3.
ALISON: DRAMA QUEEN OR ICE PRINCESS?
Ali admits her tears during Erika's live eviction were of the crocodile variety, saying, "The tears were for a vote." But it's her endurance skills, not her acting skills, that are being put to the test. For Round 1 of the HoH Competition, the three competitors balance precariously, clutching their keys to the House and weathering the icy snow that comes pelting down from the sky every few minutes. Warm-weather Robert makes the BIG BROTHER blizzard worse by informing the girls of Julie's questions regarding the offensive words he's had for the women throughout the game. Learning that Robert has called them "whores," "bitches" and "sluts" does not make Jun and Alison happy, and now Robert is faced with their icy stares as well as the cold snow.
After an hour of balancing and freezing, Jun's hand leaves her key as she protects herself from the pelting snow, and she is disqualified, leaving Robert and Alison in competition. The second Jun heads inside, Robert makes Alison an offer in which they will take each other to the finals. Alison seems unsure, saying she's only 99% certain she'd take him to the Final Two, but that answer seems good enough for frozen Robert, who leaves his place in the Competition, allowing Alison to win Round 1 of the HoH Competition.
As the HouseGuests warm up after the snowstorm, Jun and Alison take their first moment alone to quickly discuss strategy, and Alison divulges Robert's deal to Jun. The two women speculate that the next round of the Competition will be mental, and the two reaffirm their allegiance to each other. However, later that night, actress Alison lies to Robert, telling him that she told Jun that there is no deal between them. After ensuring that Robert will take her to the Final Two, she heads back inside to Jun, and makes her a "promise" that she'll go to the Final Two with her. Once a floater, always a floater.
CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIME
The HouseGuests find a large gift box in the backyard, and when Robert finally takes the lid off, they discover a mime inside. A note around his neck explains that the mime is an integral part of the next Luxury Competition, but it doesn't warn them of the silent terror that is about to begin. For three hours, the sadistic mime taunts and tortures the HouseGuests, shadowing them, mimicking them, and making a mess in the House. Robert calls it the "worst day" in the BIG BROTHER House, and Alison adds: "I would rather have Dana in the House than that stupid mime!" After ruining their day--and their lunch--the mime finally reveals that he has the key to the Desert Room, and the HouseGuests unlock the door to discover it's been transformed into a movie room. They learn that the winner of the Luxury Competition will win a private screening of the not-yet-released film "Runaway Jury" and will also walk the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere in October. The winner can choose one of his or her housemates as a guest to enjoy the prize.
The HouseGuests are thrilled with the prospect of a movie, but they're even happier when they learn that the Luxury Competition involves hurling balls at the annoying mime. Each HouseGuest is given Velcro balls, which they are to throw at the mime. The first HouseGuest to have three balls stick to the mime wins the Luxury Competition. Ali is the first to have a ball stick, but Robert quickly lands three in a row, winning the Competition. The silent guest gestures to Rob that he must choose a housemate to be his guest, and Robert chooses Alison, after which the mime makes his quiet exit from the BIG BROTHER House.
