SLEEPING DOGS AND LYING LIARS
George brings Janelle and Howie into the HoH Room for some plain truth. "All right, Janelle, the whole house wants you out because you are the baddest player." Janey is curious, "James too?" George shines a light on her so-called ally: "James too." Crestfallen, Janelle replies, "What a weasel. This sucks." George assures Janey that he won't nominate her because he respects her too much as a player, but he also asks to join their alliance. Janelle and Howie agree to let him in, and to his last "favor request," they agree not to vote against Erika. Everyone is smiling as they part.
Erika drops by the HoH Room for an update with her new ally, George. After swearing her to secrecy, he reveals he is going to put up Will. Erika begs him not to nominate him, as that will mean her eviction. When she leaves the HoH Room, Erika immediately tells Boogie and Danielle. Boogie is mightily annoyed, and while everyone is waiting for the PoV Ceremony to begin, Boogie confronts George in front of everyone. In a less than subtle bully-move, Boogie reminds him of the Coup d'Etat, and the fact that it may very well be used against him if he puts Will up. He also reminds George that Chilltown has helped save him in the past, and he is effectively biting the hand that feeds him. Boogie doesn't let go of the point until the ceremony is called.
As everyone leaves the bedroom, Danielle pulls the door shut and Erika asks George for his last-minute thoughts. George asks, "What if I put up Howie?" The two women beg and plead with him to go with that nomination. Once in the living room, George turns his decision on a dime and nominates his Jedi Master, who does not take the news well. "I saved you last week, Georgie," Howie whines.
Immediately after the ceremony, Howie looks a little desperate as he tries to lock in votes. "Howie, settle down," Janelle advises, and even Will tells him to chill. Howie heads to the gym to ask Boogie for his vote, "Am I stayin'? Am I stayin'?" he hustles. "Bros before hoes?" Boogie smiles and assures him he has his vote. Soon after Howie leaves, James and Will join Boogie in the gym to discuss their votes. In the end, the boys appear to be leaning towards evicting Howie rather than keeping him. They don't realize that Howie is listening outside the gym door.
