DREW SHAKES THINGS UP--HOLLY AND NAKOMIS ON THE BLOCK
Drew steps up, calls it like he sees it and puts Holly and Nakomis up on the block--both of them two time nominees. As soon as Drew won HoH he found himself inundated by advice, counsel and commentary by not just the Four Horsemen, but every single player in the game. For a time it seems like he will put up Marvin, then Diane and then possibly Adria. But in the end, he goes with what he feels is best for himself over the long term.
As he deliberates, his straightforward honesty and gameplay become more clear. He and Diane sit down in the HoH room, and they both flat out admit that they don't trust each other. Drew even lets slip that he has feelings for Diane, a notion that has Diane saying, "I'd take Drew over the $500,000 any day." After their chat it seems Drew definitely won't be putting her up.
He has a similar sit-down with Adria, or at least who he thinks is Adria, discussing how he might put her up. It isn't Adria, but rather Natalie, a secret to all but the twins themselves. But any way you cut it, she steers Drew away from putting her on the block. "I would not put you up if I were Head of Household," she tells him straight up. Drew's reaction is heartfelt, and he puts his faith in what she says, at the same time adding, "If she's lying, she's going to hell."
As Nomination Day dawns more and more stress appears on Drew's face. The entire house apparently empathizes with his approach, paying homage to his sincerity and showing respect for the manner in which he conducts himself. Drew begins the nomination ceremony by pulling Will's key first. Will pulls Jase, Jase pulls Adria, Adria pulls Diane. Following Diane's key, Jase seems a little uneasy and begins to see that Drew might be his own man...he might be going his own way. Diane pulls Scott, and it's tempting to think Drew might have been truly gaming, trying to bridge the Scott/Diane rupture and cool out the house a little bit. Scott pulls Karen, Karen pulls Marvin and lastly, Marvin pulls Cowboy.
