CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG; MIKE & JENNIFER NOMINATED

In the summer's first nomination ceremony, first HoH Jase nominates Mike and Jennifer for eviction. But before the ceremony, Michael decides to reveal to the Four Horsemen (formerly the Knights) first that Jennifer, a.k.a. Nakomis, is his half-sister. Pulling Jase and Scott aside, he lets them in on his secret, recounting how he put the pieces together: the father's name, the tour in Vietnam, the foot blown off. The initial reactions are shock and disbelief. Initially, Jase is stunned, saying, "I'm just tripping out of my mind." Then he thinks he's being gamed, adding, "I have a problem with the timing." Scott, too, is skeptical: "I didn't believe it."

After some internal discussion, Jase suggests bringing in Nakomis and talking with her. Without hemming and hawing, Michael just puts it out there: "We have the same father." Nakomis suspects he might be messing with her, but after Marvin has Michael, whom he affectionately calls Cowboy, swear on the Bible that he is indeed telling the truth, Nakomis begins to think it might be real. She sums it up in her own unique way, "If that's so, that is a trip."

A group meeting is called, and everybody is let in on the secret. Jaws drop, shock ensues and people try to get their bearings. Whatever doubt there may have been is dispelled after Michael and Nakomis are called into the Diary Room, and each emerge with a letter from their father. They then each read their letters, Michael breaking into tears as he reads aloud, "You now have two sisters and three brothers."

The emotional shockwaves reverberate through the House. In the Diary Room, Will lets on that he finds the news colorful: "Michael delivers this Jerry Springer-ish news." Marvin is doubtful: "Guilty until proven innocent." Drew agrees with Marvin. Feeling the heat, Michael acknowledges the tension, admitting, "It changes things a little bit."
