ALISON WINS HOH, “PICKS” ROBERT FOR EVICTION
As Alison and Jun head to the final round of the three-part Head of Household Competition, the two floaters continue their alliance. However, Robert still feels confident that he won’t be evicted. He threatens both of them separately that if either one of them evicts him he will sway the jury to vote against them. There have been a lot of strategies in the House over the course of the game, but this week it all comes down to the Competitions. In a live Head of Household Competition that put Jun and Alison’s knowledge of their exes to the test, Alison wins, and chooses Robert for eviction shortly thereafter.
HOW TO SUCCEED IN BIG BROTHER WITHOUT REALLY LYING
Each of the three remaining HouseGuests shares their formula for success in the BIG BROTHER House. Jun says that in order to succeed, you need to “listen,” “hide a lot of your emotions” and be a “strong competitor…but not too strong.” As for Alison, she says she owes her success to her ability to “manipulate” and “adapt,” and admits that she has “flirted” and “played both sides.” As for Robert, who isn’t necessarily known for being over-modest, he says he made it to the final three because he “listen[s] to people” and that “there’s no one better” than him in the game.
Still convinced that he has control over the women in the House, Robert warns both Jun and Alison separately that if either one of them evicts him, he will sway the jury’s vote. He tells them both that the jury will “listen” to him, and adds, “People love me.” As for allies/competitors Jun and Alison, it seems as though their alliance of convenience will last another week; however, Jun’s “worst fear” is that Ali and Robert have a secret alliance. Ali feels confident that she will “ruin” Jun in the third part of the HoH Competition, and Robert says he is “not stressing at all” about the eviction.
STRESS-OUTS, PIG-OUTS AND BREAK-OUTS
Jun acknowledges that the three remaining players are “under tremendous stress” as the game reaches the final sprint. She admits to being a stress eater, and thinks she has gained at least 15 pounds. As for Ali, her stress is manifesting itself as a skin break-out on her face. One thing the three remaining competitors are all suffering from is a serious case of homesickness. Robert is eager to be reunited with his daughter Elena, and both he and Jun shed tears from missing their loved ones. But all three agree that the isolation and loneliness will be “worth it” if they return home with the $500,000 prize.
BIG BROTHER checks in with the families of the three HouseGuests to get their inside perspective on the players’ performance in the game so far. Alison’s proud father calls his daughter a “bulldog” and says she’s made it this far in the game because she knows how to “manipulate” and “knows all about back-stabbing” from her experience in pageants. Robert’s parents attribute his success to a little luck and his alliance with the Dream Team. Nami, Jun’s friend, thinks that Jun’s success is due in part to her role as House chef, but adds that her ability to “play both sides of the fence” has also furthered her in the game.”
