THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
The Jury Roundtable members grill Maggie and Ivette about their game and strategy. Looking for arguments that will influence their votes, James starts the ball rolling with Maggie. Rachel follows, and soon after, Howie hits a sore spot with many HouseGuests by asking Ivette about playing with integrity. Ivette is indignant, swearing that she played straight and didn't lie. Janelle follows with some tough questions for Ivette about her choice of evicting her over Maggie, as keeping Janelle would have guaranteed Ivette the prize money. Ivette admits she was swayed by friendship. Janey then shifts her sights to Maggie, asking, "Why the hell do you deserve the money over Ivette?" Mags claims she's been "an incredibly strong player" and her game-plan was about staying in the background and working from there. Beau and April ask the pair about strategy, and then Jen hits Maggie with a potential deal-breaker, asking, "Who was the one person who initially brought up Kaysar's name for eviction?" referring to the controversial betrayal of the America's Choice decision that brought Kaysar back into the house. Dodging the bullet, Maggie claims, lamely, that she can't remember.
In her final statement, Maggie voices why she deserves the prize money. She feels her strategy was sound, as she wanted to blend in and let others take a bigger role while she learned to lose at competitions while maintaining her competitive edge. Overall, Maggie says, she "gave 110% of [herself] to be here," and that's why she should win the cash.
Ivette is more succinct and to the point, stating that she deserves the money because she played the game without putting on an act, even volunteering herself on behalf of her team. She admits that, while it's been a hard road and people were casualties along the way, it's a path she traveled honestly. After Mags and Ivette sign off, Mags laughs off the residual mud thrown by the Jury: "I need a hug."
Oft-mono-focused James is swayed by Ivette's generosity and candor, admitting, "She really had her loyalty towards your group, whereas Maggie had it towards herself." April contemplates her choice, sighing, "There were two different strategies, one played as an open book, one played as a closed book." Janelle thinks it is an even playing field. Jen doesn't like the side of Maggie she saw during her questioning and is now considering voting for Ivette, but she also has issues with the Spicy Latina. Back inside the BIG BROTHER 6 house, Ivette is confused by the Jury's attitude, and Maggie complains, "I don't think they like either of us!"
