Meeting each other for the first time in the front yard of the BIG BROTHER House, the 12 new HouseGuests size each other up. Host Julie Chen announces that the first group to enter the House consists of Eric, Lisa, Gerry and Amy. While the others wait outside, these four are given a minute to tear through the House and choose one of the three bedrooms. Bypassing a closed door that leads to the first bedroom, they select the Tiki Room over the army cots in the adjacent room. Amy, the real estate appraiser from Memphis, Tennessee, sees the choice between soft mattresses and hard cots and makes a quick decision: ""I'm used to sleeping on satin sheets,"" she says. The next group is Roddy, Marcellas, Chiara and Lori. Also given one minute to pick their bedroom, they pass the closed door several times before Roddy, the writer from Morristown, New Jersey, realizes it is the Map Room, outfitted with 2 single beds and one double bed, which Lori and Chiara will share. Last in are Jason, Tonya, Dan

STARTING TO SWEAT? Lisa adapts well to the power, privilege and influence that being Head of Household provides. She enjoys the gifts, special foods and pictures of her cat, but wishes she could have delayed her ascent to power until she was comfortable enough to share the bed with somebody. The other HouseGuests, wary of her newfound control over the game, begin to kiss up. Amy and Gerry help her move her clothes into the HoH room, and Josh notices that Eric is ""working it"" trying to get closer to Lisa. Even though Lisa won the HoH vote, not everyone voted for her against Lori: Roddy tells Lori that he and Jason voted for her. Lori thinks Lisa is in a tough spot since there's been ""so much harmony"" in the House so far, and that any nominee will be OK with her, adding, ""So long as it's not me."" Despite his growing paranoia about being nominated, Amy assures Josh he's safe because he's the ""comic relief"" in the House. ""You haven't even seen me naked yet,"" he replies. Marcellas hasn't ye

THE POWER OF THE VETO Comfortable with having nominated Marcellas and Lori and with how she presented them to the group, Lisa remarks, ""I don't think my nomination reasons could have been better. I'm proud of myself."" Lori is pragmatic about it, but disappointed: ""I haven't gotten to know them well enough, and they haven't gotten to know me well enough."" Marcellas is sad for Lori because of her reaction, but tries to bond with the others. Eric tells him that maybe he can stay in the House if he learns the secret BIG BROTHER handshake they've developed. Danielle approaches Lisa in the HoH room to thank her for being ""professional"" about her nominations, but Lisa doesn't trust her motivations. Still trying to maintain alliances, Josh approaches Jason, trying to convince him they should work together in the coming weeks. Jason agrees, but later admits he doesn't trust Josh. Oblivious, Josh says that he thinks Jason ""wants to be like me, and I can use that."" The normally sweet Jason says t

FIRST VETO SPURS FALLOUT Having won the power of the Veto, Gerry says, ""As far as I'm concerned, I won the game."" Lisa and Tonya discuss Gerry's options and agree that he'll leave the nominations as they are. Roddy takes that sentiment one step further, saying he's ""counting"" on Gerry maintaining status quo. But Gerry hasn't made up his mind. He says he wants to keep both Marcellas and Lori in the House and that after feeling ""outplayed"" in the game, he's back to trying to fulfill his original goal: ""meeting new friends and interesting people."" Whether he considers Josh one of these new friends is debatable as he initiates a one-on-one discussion with Marcellas for the purpose of ""making Josh crazy."" Of Josh's strategies, Gerry says, ""I don't think Josh realized the game has changed. He's still using the old paradigm."" Josh tells Lori he thinks Gerry is angling to save Marcellas at her expense, but Josh makes it seem as though he's still her main protector. Later, Marcellas and Lori di

After his use of Veto Power and his controversial speech, Gerry feels proud of his actions, declaring, ""I will leave this House a richer man than when I came in, whether I get a dime."" Sitting outside with Gerry and Marcellas, Lori calls his speech a ""beautiful confession,"" but Gerry corrects her: it was a ""manly confession."" Contrasting the emerging alliances in the House, Marcellas says it's like ""'Touched by an Angel' vs. 'Baywatch.'"" The Group of Six, of which Gerry was a part, along with Eric, Lisa, Chiara, Roddy and Josh, feel betrayed by his use of Veto Power and banish him from their ranks, replacing him with Tonya. This makes Chiara and Lisa more comfortable, because now the group has an equal number of women and men. Almost immediately, the new group splits along gender lines, planning their moves, looking down the road to when their Group of Six are the last HouseGuests standing. While the Group of Six have strength in numbers, Gerry has aligned himself with Lori, Amy and Ma

JOSH, TONYA IN THE LINE OF FIRE With Lori first to leave the House, the other HouseGuests are feeling reflective. Chiara realizes with one person gone that the ""game has started,"" and Roddy rationalizes Lori's departure by saying, ""She had to go. She had no support."" Marcellas feels conflicted about his vote, admitting he considered voting to evict Amy. The 5-4 vote got everyone in the House thinking, especially the members of the Group of Six, who are now aware that someone in their group hadn't voted with the rest. Chiara and Roddy try to figure out who betrayed the group, but Josh, the Group of Six member who voted outside the alliance, remains quiet. He confesses in the Diary Room that he had to vote to evict Amy based on his promise to Lori, and that he doesn't feel bad about that. NEW HOH, NEW STRATEGIES As the new Head of Household, Marcellas immediately implements a ""No Strategy Conversations"" policy, telling everyone to not approach him about whom he is going to nominate.

PERFECT 10: ANOTHER HOUSEGUEST OUT Josh is feeling the heat of being a nominee, admitting that he's doing anything he can to avoid eviction. He tells Roddy he thinks he's hiding his anxiousness well, but Roddy sets him straight, telling him in no uncertain terms that he isn't. Tonya complains that Josh's antics amount to campaigning against her, something he swore he wouldn't do. Eric feels that the guys vs girls aspect of this eviction is not a big deal and states his loyalty to Lisa. Lisa, unaware of Eric's trust, says, ""Guys don't have loyalty."" Eric asks Lisa what the girls talk about when they're not together, and Lisa tells him they rarely talk about strategy. Immediately afterwards, she confers with Chiara and Danielle in an effort to make sure a girl isn't evicted this week. With the girls targeting Josh, Roddy tries to come to his rescue, focusing on Jason and offering him a place in the alliance. Jason accepts, but says later in the Diary Room that his true loyalty is to Dani

THE ODD COUPLE GETS NOMINATED After his narrow escape from eviction Thursday night, Josh is feeling ""shocked"" that he's still in the House. Amy has no regrets about Tonya's departure, saying, ""I was glad to see her go."" Chiara, on the other hand, is very upset that Tonya was evicted, saying she was her closest friend in the House and that now she's ""going to get lonely."" Based on the vote count, Josh knows that Lisa voted to evict him, but that Jason gave him his support, lending credibility to Josh's theory that the ""women can't be trusted."" Marcellas, Josh's sworn enemy, says he is ""somewhat let down"" because Josh is still in the House, even though they have made a tenuous peace. Chiara has negative feelings toward Marcellas for Tonya's eviction, feeling he shouldn't have nominated her in the first place. Danielle justifies her vote against Tonya by saying she doesn't ""respect her as a mother,"" but what really clinched her eviction were the two fights she had with Marcellas and Amy.

IT'S ALL ABOUT AMY Sharing the Diary Room after their nomination, Amy and Marcellas say, in no uncertain terms, that they're mad at having been nominated. Amy thinks it was tacky of Roddy to single her out during the nomination, saying he wants her out of the House. She thinks it's tackier, however, that he came to them and apologized right afterwards. Amy blames her nomination on Chiara's possessiveness when it comes to Roddy and Eric agrees, saying she was put up because of the ""soap opera with Chiara."" Roddy approaches Marcellas and Amy a second time to apologize, but Marcellas brushes him off, saying, ""We can't make this feel better for you, but you really need to go away from us."" Disheartened by the dismissal, Roddy reminds Marcellas that he nominated Tonya for eviction and should know how he feels. Inside, Roddy tells Chiara and Lisa that because of this, the last doubts he had about evicting Amy are gone. Marcellas approaches Roddy to speak his mind, saying he thinks Amy made m

READY, AMY, FIRE! Marcellas still feels nervous about his status as the ""other"" nominee, put up only to guarantee Amy's eviction. ""Why am I still on the block?"" he wonders. Amy is more nervous that her eviction will be unanimous and campaigns with Josh to get his one vote to avoid being humiliated. Josh agrees to vote for her, saying he wants to stir things up in the House. Chiara senses that Josh might give in to Amy and says that there might be repercussions for him if he votes against the group. Eric, Lisa, Roddy and Chiara, the new ""Couples Alliance,"" have all noticed Josh's increasingly unusual behavior and have lost some of their faith in him. Marcellas overhears Amy trying to secure her coveted one vote and gets angry, telling Danielle and Chiara what she said. Danielle brings Amy inside so Marcellas can confront her. A tearful Amy tells Marcellas she wasn't campaigning against him, and Marcellas loses his temper, saying he wouldn't have been nominated if he hadn't been such a g

GERRY MAKES HIS MOVE After Amy's eviction, Marcellas and Gerry take her departure hardest. Josh says that he planned to give Amy the one vote she wanted so desperately to avoid a unanimous eviction, but didn't because she went to everyone in the House asking for their vote. Jason hopes that Marcellas can take solace in the unanimous vote and see it as a symbol of how he is regarded in the House. Marcellas remembers being targeted the first week, though, and maintains that he doesn't trust anyone in the House. Eric feels he let everyone down losing the HoH tiebreaker to Gerry, since Gerry was the one person he didn't want to see become HoH. For Gerry, who had been ignored since he used the first Veto Power, his sudden strength is very sweet. ""All comes to he who waits,"" Gerry says, while Lisa says his reign will be ""hell."" In the HoH room, Gerry receives his rewards: a U2 CD and photos of his family that he shows off to the others. Josh, once Gerry's sworn enemy, makes himself very comf

LOVE ON THE ROCKS After her nomination, Lisa goes into the bathroom to be alone and ""breathe."" Eric comforts her both with a hug and with the promise that Gerry will be evicted next week for targeting them. Chiara says she wants Gerry to go out ""with shame,"" and adds that he plays dirty despite his speeches about honor. Later, Gerry tells Chiara how difficult it was making his decision, saying that the first few weeks there was an obvious target for nomination, something he didn't have. Chiara feels nervous because she knows Gerry targeted the couples and is afraid she'll be nominated if someone uses the Veto to save Lisa or Eric. Lisa asks Gerry why she was put up instead of Josh, who has been mean to Gerry since they moved into the House. Gerry replies that it was a chess move, purely strategic, and done with no malice towards her or Eric. Josh stops in the HoH room to commend Gerry on his tough decision and swears that he'll stand with him until the end of the game. Outside, Lisa re

THE EVICTION Julie announces to the gathered HouseGuests that for the first time in BIG BROTHER 3, there is a tie in the eviction voting. As HoH, the tiebreaker vote falls to Gerry. Gerry reiterates his strategy of looking at the nomination/eviction like a chess move, and states that he loves both Eric and Lisa. That said, Gerry votes to evict Eric. The rest of the group reacts with silence as Eric hugs Lisa and moves to the door. Everyone follows, and Eric leaves after exchanging quiet goodbyes with the other HouseGuests. As he makes his way to the studio for a chat with Julie Chen, the inside of the House is completely quiet. Eric settles in and tells Julie that he's ""not happy"" about the outcome. Of the other HouseGuests, Eric says he's only disappointed in Gerry, not just for voting him out, but for trying to be all things to all people. He says he doesn't regret anything in the House, including his romance with Lisa, even though it ""didn't help me as much as it should have."" HE

CHIARA TAKES CONTROL After Eric's eviction, some of the HouseGuests are reflecting on their roles in his departure. Jason feels guilty because his third vote is what put things in Gerry's hands for the tiebreaker. Roddy tells Lisa he was in denial that Eric could possible leave and Lisa says that the finality of Eric being gone will most likely hit her that night. Danielle sees his departure differently, plainly saying: ""Four down, six to go."" Chiara settles into the HoH room and says she hopes everyone gets to experience that pampering once during the game. Gerry talks to Josh, saying that he thinks he'll be nominated as revenge for evicting Eric with his tiebreaker vote. Josh pledges to vote in Gerry's favor if that happens. Later, Josh tells Roddy that he suspects Jason and Marcellas have a secret deal based on a handshake he saw them exchange. Roddy checks in with Marcellas, who defends Jason. Josh thinks Jason has to be evicted because he ""used"" Roddy and the invitation to the all

HE SAID, SHE SAID: JOSH & CHIARA SQUARE OFF After his nomination at Chiara's hands and her harsh words for him, Josh begins to pack, ready to make a voluntary exit from the game. He regards Chiara as ""treacherous"" and ""manipulative,"" and feels that she's stabbed him in the back twice now. Lisa is glad that her name was thrown into things, because it gives her an excuse to confront Josh about what he said to Chiara. Josh tells Lisa that Chiara had already made up her mind to go after Lisa before she spoke to Josh, and that Roddy was the one who convinced her. Later, Josh confronts Roddy for knowing in advance they would both be nominated and then securing the necessary votes to stay in the House. Roddy reiterates his loyalty to Josh, assuring him that he is nominated because he told Chiara he wouldn't vote to evict him. Lisa overhears their argument and joins it, shooting down Josh's theories. As she leaves, Chiara follows her. Lisa, also upset with Chiara, says later that she wanted to

JOSH JAMS, AMY ARRIVES & THE HOH SOUP'S ON! Josh finds solace in the company of the lizards, who ""inspire him to fight harder"" to stay in the game. At the very least, he enjoys being around the lizards because they don't twist his stories around and use them against him like he feels the other HouseGuests do. Josh talks to Gerry and suggests that this is the best opportunity people will have to evict Roddy. Gerry tells Josh that discussions along those lines have taken place between some of the HouseGuests ""outside of the clique."" Roddy senses something in the air, and says in the Diary Room that he hopes he doesn't go. Danielle, who was leading the charge to evict Roddy, talks to Lisa about getting him out, then turning their attentions on Chiara. Lisa says she's leaning more toward evicting Roddy than Josh at this point. Gerry talks to Marcellas, letting him know that Josh was going to approach him about voting against Roddy. Marcellas tells Roddy what Josh is up to, and Roddy approa

BEST IN SHOW: AMY RETURNS, TAKES HOH With Roddy vacating the HoH contest quickly, Gerry, Marcellas, Jason, Lisa, Danielle and Amy settle into the bathtub and try to remain comfortable while squid splash all around them. Making things worse, Chiara informs them that ""A good Head of Household has to weed out troublemakers"" and dumps a bucket full of seaweed and pond scum into the tub, splashing it all over Marcellas in the process. Uncomfortably settling in to their changed surroundings, Amy tells the group that when she was in a ""remote part of Mexico"" a little girl recognized her from her time on the show. Perhaps inspired by their dirty surroundings, the HouseGuests recall the House fight they felt was the best so far: the Danielle vs. Lori argument regarding Gerry's personal hygiene. Back in the tub, another 20 minutes has gone by, meaning it's time for Chiara to add more ingredients to the soup. She pours in two more buckets of pond scum and algae, which quickly turn the vile soluti

BB HOUSE BECOMES CROW'S NEST! Immediately after Josh's 5-0 eviction, Chiara says that she was afraid Roddy was going to be the one sent home when she heard the initial vote count. Roddy agrees, telling the group he was afraid he was the one about to get evicted unanimously, prompting Jason's realization that despite their friendship, Roddy doesn't trust him. While Marcellas was happy that Josh left, he feels ""amazingly blessed"" to have his good friend Amy back in the House. Lisa says she was happy to see Amy, but feels ""selfish and greedy"" about voting against bringing Eric back to the game. She says that in light of finding out Chiara voted to evict her, she wouldn't have been able to resume an alliance with Chiara, Roddy and Eric if he returned, and was afraid Eric wouldn't understand why she had changed her mind. Roddy, who quit the last HoH contest right after it began, is having regrets and blames his decision on feeling ""nervous and sleepy"" from having been nominated. Amy didn't

SAYONARA, CHIARA! Still reeling from their private Sheryl Crow concert, the HouseGuests enter the Storage Room and find personalized autographed T-shirts and copies of Sheryl's latest CD ""C'mon, C'mon."" Marcellas calls her appearance ""the most amazing departure ever"" from the game, while Amy marvels at the goodies they received, saying ""I'll have friends now, any way I can get them."" Roddy tells Chiara that last week he didn't mentally prepare himself to leave the House, but that this week he is getting ready. Chiara promises that if he does go, she won't seek revenge against Amy. In another room, Marcellas, Lisa and Danielle are discussing the fates of Roddy and Chiara, trying to figure out whom they're going to vote for. Marcellas eventually declares that he's going to evict Roddy, because the circumstances of the game dictate his eviction. After deciding to keep Chiara, Marcellas approaches her with a warning not to trust the people who are always ""smiling"" at her, because those are

JASON SPARES THE ROD-DY Chiara's departure has hit the HouseGuests hard. Amy says she feels like a ""horrid home wrecker,"" but wishes everyone would realize they were playing a game and ""not Love Connection."" Lisa is upset because Chiara asked her while leaving why Lisa didn't vote for her to stay. Roddy asks Jason to open his bag and see what Chiara left for him: a security blanket she's had since she was a young child. Roddy cries, but says he's ""proud to be close enough"" to Chiara for her to give him something so important to her. With the rest of the House in a stupor over the eviction, Marcellas tells Danielle and Lisa, commiserating in the Map Room, that Chiara ""did dirt"" to Lisa, to him, and would have done it to Danielle if she had the chance. Danielle feels confident in Jason as the new HoH, and says she had to try and act calm after he won, even though she was overjoyed. Taking in the perks of power, Jason says he's looking forward to sleeping in a real bed, since he's been us

After Jason puts up Gerry and Amy, Lisa tells him that she's proud of him for being himself and not following the will of others. Jason tells Lisa that just before Chiara's eviction, he promised her that he would look out for Roddy, and that's why he didn't nominate him. Danielle is not as understanding about his motivations, even after Jason explains that evicting the ""wild card"" Gerry will take their partnership further in the game. Danielle remains concerned that to avoid being nominated Roddy was just telling Jason anything he wanted to hear, but she admits that Jason did the right thing for himself. Marcellas thinks Jason's decision marks him as ""weak"" and incapable of making the tough decisions. AMY AND GERRY: WHO'LL GO? Amy says that she's had premonitions of her fate before her previous two nominations, and that she feels good about her chances this time around. She kids Lisa, saying that Gerry the teacher is needed back at home, because school about to go back into session.

TEACHER GETS EXPELLED 4-0 Gerry opens what could be his last day in the BIG BROTHER House with a quote from Winston Churchill: ""You can lose every battle but the last one."" He adds that he is aware of the generation gap between himself and the other HouseGuests and is aware that it has affected his performance in the game. Roddy sits with Gerry in the hammock and rehashes the demise of all alliances in the game, from the all-girl and all-guy groups to the couples and the original hot tub alliance. Gerry recalls Roddy's statement that in the game, memories fade, but points out that he remembers that Roddy was a component in almost all the alliances that existed. In the Diary Room, Marcellas says, ""perception is everything,"" while Gerry tells Roddy that the perception is that he's smarter than everyone else in the House. Gerry adds, with no disrespect intended, ""You're not."" As Marcellas says, though, perception is everything, and Lisa says she thinks that everyone will be going after Ro

HALFWAY HOME After Gerry's departure, Jason says it was ""very sad to see the Dad of the family go."" Marcellas realizes that he would have been gone early in the game if Gerry hadn't used the Veto Power to save him the first week. Amy is also in shock, but more over the headfake Julie Chen gave when reading the eviction. In the kitchen, the remaining HouseGuests realize they're at the halfway point of the game, and give themselves a round of applause. Roddy says he wanted to win this last HoH Competition to ensure his own safety, but Amy ""couldn't be happier"" that Marcellas won. She refers to herself as the ""First Lady"" of the BIG BROTHER House, until Roddy takes her aside and tells her that title makes other people uncomfortable. He indicates that it marks her as a partner to Marcellas, and reminds her of what has befallen BB3's other couples. Inside, Marcellas tells Danielle that Roddy thinks Amy has influence over him, but she doesn't. Marcellas is upset that Amy often ""funnels infor

PAST COMES BACK TO HAUNT AMY With Marcellas's harsh words still ringing in her ears, Amy mumbles to Roddy that she understands being nominated, but wonders why the speech had to be so cruel. Marcellas says later that he considered his words to her an ""intervention"" of sorts, but Roddy thought it was ""unnecessary and flat-out selfish"" to hurt someone like that. Amy stays at the table, staring into space while Marcellas confirms to Danielle that he still wants Roddy to be the one to go. Inside, Lisa comforts Amy, who says she expected to be nominated but didn't expect the speech Marcellas made at her expense. Roddy confronts Marcellas about the motivations behind his being nominated. Marcellas responds that it was the will of the House. Roddy asks Danielle, who is sitting nearby, if she felt that way. Danielle says yes, and Roddy asks her why she never came to him with her problems. More to the point, he reminds her that when he asked her if she had any trouble with him, she said no. Mar

HOT ROD PEELS OUT: NJ WRITER EVICTED 3-0 As the eviction draws near, Danielle wonders why the people nominated against Roddy turn themselves into ""sacrificial lambs,"" allowing him to stay in the House. Marcellas tells Danielle that after listening to Roddy he feels hypnotized, ready to follow him wherever. With Roddy's persuasiveness an active topic in the house, Amy makes his bid to stay a little easier by putting on what Marcellas calls the ""ugliest exhibition"" he's seen in the House. It starts when Lisa, on the elliptical trainer, overhears Amy make an offer to Roddy for one of his beers. As Amy continues to drink, she babbles to the other HouseGuests, all of whom are visibly uncomfortable. Marcellas, now using the trainer himself, asks Roddy to go inside and get him a drink of water, leaving him alone on the patio with Amy. Marcellas tells Amy to stop drinking and go to bed. Amy goes into the House, but pulls Jason into the HoH room and asks him for some of his alcohol, then lies t

After Roddy's departure, Jason says he'll miss him and the way Roddy took care of him like a brother. Danielle is ""relieved"" that Roddy's gone, since he knew she was coming after him. Amy says she'll miss Roddy, since he was such a big part of her House experience, and Lisa wanted to give him a sympathy vote so he wasn't evicted unanimously. Marcellas, however, says that Roddy ""deserved to go"" because he wasn't playing the game well. Lisa is upset because just before the last live show Roddy asked her if he was being evicted, and she told him she didn't know. Jason and Danielle both say they were upset with Roddy for referring to the fact that Amy didn't use the Veto Power to save him as she promised she would. Danielle calls it ""sad and hurtful"" that Roddy held that over Amy's head one last time. Jason reveals that he had talked with Danielle about throwing the last HoH Competition so that Amy or Lisa could win it. Imagine their surprise when Lisa and Amy were eliminated on the first

After Marcellas declined to use the Golden Veto to save himself, Danielle says, ""sadness came upon me, because I knew how it was going to play out."" Lisa adds that the fact that the voting was done on live TV ""made it even more stressful."" As Marcellas was leaving, everyone was touched by the fact that he still told them all he loved them. Amy, Marcellas's closest friend in the House, was hurt that Marcellas had to leave and she got to stay. Jason, who cast the tie-breaking vote that eliminated Marcellas, says it was hard to do, but that ""it comes down to Danielle and that I'm looking out for her."" Outside, Danielle comforts an upset Amy and explains why she voted to evict Marcellas. In the Diary Room Danielle says that she has to ""make sure her words are right"" when talking to Amy. Lisa was under the impression that Danielle and Jason wanted Amy out, so the fact that they didn't vote that way makes her ""suspicious."" Lisa talks to Jason in the kitchen about the votes and says she feels

Amy and Lisa take their nominations well. Lisa has a ""strong feeling"" she's headed for the Final Two, but Jason tells Danielle he might want to keep Amy around, thinking that the other HouseGuests would be less likely to give her the money at the end. Still unaware of Jason's alliance with Danielle, Amy thinks he is making his own decisions. Danielle wants Jason to make the call between Lisa and Amy, but still wants him to come to her so they can discuss it. While gazing at the Photo Wall, each of the remaining Houseguests get pensive and nostalgic. Lisa is reminded of how much she misses Eric, while Danielle is reminded of her strategy entering the game: Protect those who will protect you. In a private moment, Jason tells Danielle that his family will be proud of him for their alliance, and that his goal was to find someone in the House who was his opposite to ally with. Danielle says in the Diary Room that the secret of their success was keeping their bond quiet, which allowed them t

The Jason and Danielle alliance is close to paying off. With Jason holding the only vote for eviction, he'll determine who goes to the Final Three in the House. After that, the winner of the final HoH Competition will determine the last two HouseGuests standing. Jason says that his alliance with Danielle has lasted for 10 weeks, and he isn't going to change his approach now. He adds that if someone else wins the next Competition, he plans on pushing them to take Danielle instead of him. Lisa, despite being nominated, is planning for her future in the game as well. She doesn't think she can beat Jason in the final vote and thinks she has a better chance against Danielle. Lisa has also started to piece together the puzzle that is the Jason and Danielle alliance. She says that she thinks the fact that Danielle didn't nominate Jason was suspicious and realizes that, if they were together, they would need a third person to advance to the end, which is why Danielle has been looking out for h

Before returning to Part One of the ultimate HoH Competition, Jason explains that he evicted Amy because she was a better player than Lisa when it came to the Competitions. His strong ally Danielle agrees with Jason's actions, saying that she has loyalty to both Lisa and Jason, so she's fine with them both still being in the game. For her part, Lisa says she's ""Not surprised, but relieved"" that Jason kept her in the game. Outside, the HouseGuests are still being deluged by rain from BIG BROTHER's ""deal"" with Mother Nature. All three hands shiver as they desperately clutch their keys. Danielle says that when the rain first started, it was like being in the path of a storm. Jason notices that Lisa keeps her ""game face"" on the entire time, smiling broadly as if she wasn't bothered at all. Lisa says she got inspiration from her swimwear, the top of which belonged to her mother and the bottom that came from Eric. As another downpour starts up, Jason loses his focus and lets go of his key to

BARTENDER GETS $500,000 TIP Before the final voting gets underway, Danielle tells Lisa about the moves she made to get herself to the final two. She ""puts it all on the table,"" including telling Lisa that it was her idea to split up the Couples alliance that separated her from Eric. In the Diary Room, Lisa says that when Eric left, part of her left as well, but importantly, a ""new part emerged, a part that was ready to play."" Danielle talks about how her alliance with Jason needed a third person to work, and that they originally wanted Marcellas, but that they adopted Lisa because Marcellas was too ""unstable."" As the game was winding down, Lisa says she ""saved her strength"" for a run to the finals, a run that will hopefully pay off soon. TOGETHER AGAIN… The ten evicted HouseGuests reunite and have their first chance to discuss what happened inside the House. Tonya says that after she left, she heard a lot of the things that were said about her, and was not happy. She singles out Marc
