Diane goes first and, seemingly with great pain, nominates Karen. Drew enters next, and, as planned, votes to evict Karen, sealing the portrait artist from New Jersey's fate. After Diane returns to the living room, Julie informs Karen of the news and though not surprised, Karen is plenty put out. As she stands up she says to Diane, "Thanks for back-dooring me." Karen and Nakomis exchange a few words and Nakomis is about to start talking dirt about the remaining HouseGuests when Karen admonishes her to keep it to herself. Diane attempts to make a plea that it was all about the game and Karen holds true to her feeling she was back-doored.

NAKOMIS BRINGS THE GAME
As Karen settles in for her post-eviction interview with Julie, Nakomis is already working the game, hugging Diane, Drew and Cowboy saying it's all a game. She immediately begins giving Diane the benefit of her attention, warmth and compassion saying, "It's all a game. Everybody knows that. It's a good game move. Don't worry about it."

Karen wells up with tears but doesn't break down. "I knew it was coming, I was kicking myself." Karen and Julie discuss Karen's not using the veto to save Adria, essentially because of promises made earlier to Diane. Karen is wracked and spent, both emotionally and physically. She is exhausted from putting up with the "juvenile" shenanigans of Drew and Diane.

BEFORE OR AFTER
The game must go on. Drew, Diane and Cowboy arrange themselves in three different sections of a circle. In front of them is the word "AFTER"; behind them the word "BEFORE." Julie asks the HouseGuests eight questions, each of which involves two events. If one event happened before the other event, the HouseGuest should step back and onto the word "BEFORE." If the event happened after, they are then to step forward onto the word "AFTER."

For a period of time, it is neck-and-neck between Drew and Cowboy, but in the end Drew pulls ahead and wins with a score of 8 out of 8, thus winning HoH and assuring himself a place in the Final Three.

Will Drew put up Nakomis and Diane, or will it be Nakomis and Cowboy? Will Diane sleep in the HoH room, or will she get pulled back into a girl-power alliance with Nakomis? Find out this Saturday at 10PM ET/9PM PT on BIG BROTHER 5.
