FROM TEARS TO CHEERS
In a weepy recap, April sniffles over Beau's eviction, whereas her housemates remind themselves it's just a game. "It was such a difficult moment for me," Ivette admits after watching her million-dollar mate leave the BIG BROTHER 6 house. Her allies sympathize with her in the Rainbow Room, comforting themselves with plans for vengeance. In the Gold Room, Howie reminds Janelle she is "the strongest player in this game" and to keep the pressure on their enemies. When Ivette wins HoH, the Sovereigns know their sunshine is gone for the next week. Ivette is "ecstatic" winning HoH, as she can now see pictures from home, something she has desired all summer. Running through the house screaming, "I'm HoH! I'm HoH!" Ivette later settles down, admitting she has wanted Janelle "out of this house since week one." Janelle and Howie are sufficiently clued-in to know they are in for nomination as they bemoan the questions Janelle got wrong on the HoH Competition.

When Ivette moves into her HoH Room, she finds a photo of her girlfriend, Maggie. Her housemates gather around to view the much-talked-about chick. Janey is unimpressed, thinking Ivette's "girlfriend is ugly as hell," whereas April and Maggie gush politely over Ivette's gal-pal. Howie opens up Ivette's Reese's Pieces without asking: a mortal sin in Ivette's eyes. "Howie and Janelle don't comprehend a loving HoH Room," she complains bitterly.

Janelle and Howie settle in for a strategy session. "It's obvious we're gonna get nominated," Janelle sighs, and Howie agrees. They discuss the possibility of one of them winning PoV and offering Ivette a deal to save Howie and evict April. If Ivette agrees, they will guarantee her safety through to the final three. "We have to win the Veto, Howie" Janelle whispers gravely.
