Dani de Veto

Amber & Carol Stay on Block
In a tensely contested Power of Veto (PoV) competition, Daniele proves her smarts as she trumps the competition with a savvy display of wits. Tentative alliances begin to emerge as the HouseGuests face the looming first round of evictions. Amber and Carol start to get serious about staying in the house and the lobbying games begin.

As Amber and Carol deal with their nominations, the rest of the housemates settle into the guilty relief of not being on the block. When the nomination ceremony ends Joe laughs, "Awkward," as the silence that remains is indeed uncomfortable. Carol feels her and Amber's nominations were Kail's "safest option." Jessica thinks she'll "die" if she's evicted before Carol, while Dustin feels sorry for Amber and gives her a hug after she takes her nomination "so personally." Amber "feels like being on the block? (is) a gift to prepare (her) for long term things?to make (her) stronger."

BFFs turned enemies Carol and Jessica chat idly in the outdoor teacup. Carol admits she "can't campaign against Amber. I think she's great." Jessica thinks "Carol's putting on a front," pretending not to care about being evicted. "The only thing is I don't want to leave before Jessica," Carol snipes.

Flirting with Disaster?
As Kail and Dick talk about their experiences as parents, Kail is moved to admit "Evel completely confuses me...the exterior does not match his interior." Meanwhile the house "youngsters" are gossiping about Nick. Daniele smiles slyly, "I think he has a very nice body." Joe is more effusive. "Nick is so hot it's ridiculous!" Jen, however, "doesn't like muscles." Nick admits his initial strategy of flirting with all the girls is working. "My favorite chick in the house to flirt with is Daniele." But that doesn't stop him chatting up Amber, who is "second on (his) list." Even Jen gets her share of attention as they share a hammock swing. Jen warns him not to piss her off, and Nick asks if he'd do that by "hitting on other girls?" Jen suddenly admits to having "a little bit of feelings for him." Carol amuses herself wondering which "one's going to be the lucky girl."

Jen watches unhappily as Daniele and Nick share some flirty time in the little bedroom and soon departs for the kitchen. As Carol declares she thinks Nick wants Daniele "bad," Jen declares to Carol and Joe that Nick already tried to kiss her and she didn't let him. "Oh shuddup!" Carol almost chokes on her sandwich. Joe runs straight into Nick, telling him that Jen's saying he tried to make out with her. Joe cheekily admits, "So of course I was going to tell Nick. There was a situation brewing and I added a little pepper?" Nick is furious about Jen's lie and heads to the kitchen to "bring this to a head right now." He confronts Jen about her lie. "That's not what I said," Jen argues. Nick is blunt, confronting her brutally "I hate liars?you're telling people I tried to kiss you!" Nick is livid. "I swear on my life," he yells, "I just hate people who lie. " Joe, ever the stirrer, snipes, "Jen is a liar...Jen lives in her own little Jen world that is 'Jenuinely' freaking insane. She doesn't realize she is pushing people away."
