The Drew/Diane situation seems headed for a rough patch as Drew tells Diane, "I think we might need to stop sleeping together at some point in time." Diane hears him, but at the same time doesn't, as she goes for the hard sell on why Drew needs to stick with her: "The only option you have is to be with me." She takes it one step further, laying out for Drew how she and he need to cement their alliance and then take it to A and Natalie. It'll be the twins versus the single-birth children down to the end.

Will and Karen are cognizant of the various alliances, Drew and Diane, Natalie and Adria, even Cowboy and Nakomis, and so they set about forming a secret alliance of their own. To keep it secret they vow to not be seen together too often.

THE KAREN SITUATION

Of all the HouseGuests, @Karen seems to be the one succumbing the most to cabin fever. First, we see her talking to herself very matter-of-factly. Then the other HouseGuests discuss how they think Karen may have lost it. Marvin jokes that he likes to go to bed after Karen, because he's plain scared of her, but it is Nakomis who really encapsulates the Karen Situation: "Karen has multiple personality disorder. She goes from happy and then gets worried. When she gets worried, she is all stressed out and gets anxiety. When she gets anxiety, she starts to bake, and then other people start to comment on it, and that makes her either A) stressed out or B) depressed. Then she just schizzes out and starts to cry until one of us cheers her up. Then she gets happy and the entire cycle starts again."

It begins to dawn on Jase that he is most probably a goner. Putting together the pieces, he tells Cowboy, "We don't even have Drew anymore." Cowboy, ever the sensitive horseman, says, "Tomorrow they say, 'Gotcha.' You got bitch-slapped."

POP GOES THE VETO

Jase's fears are confirmed as teams are chosen for the Power of Veto Competition, but not before he makes one last-ditch effort to be chosen by Marvin. Marvin does not consent; instead he chooses Will, a/k/a "Big Willie Style." Diane chooses Drew, and in reference to the Holly/Jase combo, she calls him her in-House boyfriend and hopes that he can "save" her. Nakomis chooses Adria, and the game begins.
