In the black and white footage of the nomination ceremony, we see Scott and Jase high five each other after the ceremony is over.
After the ceremony, Jennifer goes to the bathroom where Michael is in front of the mirror. Michael tells her that he was nervous for her. Jennifer says she is not worried. Jase comes in and hugs her and tells her that she is totally safe. The other horsemen join to reassure her.
In the kitchen, Karen hugs Mike. Other House Guests slowly make their way outside, leaving Mike, Marvin and Will in the kitchen. Mike whispers to Marvin "They came and tole me it was you." Marvin is making a sandwich and mumbles something like "Oh, really." Marvin tells the Diary Room that Mike is trying to run a game on him.
will tells Mike, "You know, it's like you have the plague now." Mike tries to convince Will of the Jase/Scott alliance. Will heads outside, leaving Mike in the kitchen. Mike gets up and follows him out, grabs a chair, approaches the circle of houseguests and asks, "I'm not kicked out of group, am I?" His questioned is met with a round of "NO!" from the others.
Jase tells the Diary Room that he put Diane's key last on purpose. He wants her to sweat it out. He has noticed that she's spent a lot of time talking with Mike. Diane tells Mike, "This really sucks, I'm sorry." about the nominations. Mike shrugs it off and says that he has two kids at home and this is just his ride out of the house." In the Diary Room, Diane says she really likes Big Mike, but she has to stay away from him to keep herself safe.
Adria leads Ab class with Lori and Holly. The guys look on with approval. Drew notes that the workout is really tough and Adria could probably kick his butt. Marvin admires a little more than Adria's toughness and says that he has nicknamed her "Big Bootilicious," which doesn't surprise me much since Marvin's so classy.
Scott is extolling the glories of Scott to Lori in the kitchen. Mike overhears and calls Scott out on his alliance with Jase. Scott denies that there is an alliance saying that they are just friends in the house. Scott and Mike fight about it. Mike is trying to at least alert the other house guests to the super alliance forming.
And now we get to see a segment about stupid things Holly says. Holly talks about her mannequin, Madam. Jase tells the Diary Room that when he first met Holly he thought "This girl's really cute and fun, but now it's like Ding Dong!" Holly tells the Diary Room that she's just a happy girl and that the other girls aren't as happy as she is. We learn that Holly thought you got tartar on your teeth from eating tartar sauce and that she's pretty sure animals cannot speak English. Diane and Marvin think the dumb blond thing is an act.
Michael and Jennifer talk in the backyard (if I'm not mistaken, I think from the feeds that this conversation happened pretty much after the others went to bed). Michael tells Jennifer that he's trying to stay away from her to keep their alliance a secret. They both say that they will bond and get to know more about each other outside of the house and that they need to just play the game now. Michael tells her he will try to help her but tells the Diary Room that they can't have an alliance. Michael does hope Jennifer does not go the first week.
Jase gathers the House Guests and explains the POV twist. Every veto will be golden and only six people will compete: HOH and the two nominees. Mike and Jennifer both express their desire for the veto. Mike tells Holly that he's picking her because he knows he can beat her. She says, "Thanks, I guess." Mike and Jase argue about whether or not Scott and Jase are in an alliance. Mike tells Jase he knows that Jase will choose Scott to compete for Veto. Jase fumbles a little and then says he doesn't know. He and Scott are just work out buddies. They yell back and forth and Jase walks away. Mike tells Holly to lose the competition. Holly responds "I don't even know what kind of competition it is," and walks away.
The Horsemen speculate about who Will is alligned with. They notice he's spending a lot of time with the girls. Will says he's been feeling the other HGs out on the gay issue. Marvin says he knew all along that Will is gay. Will and Mike have a big political discussion about gay rights. Mike tells the Diary Room that unlike Marvin, he had no idea that Will was gay...but it doesn't really bother him because he figures he's too old to be Will's type (because being gay means that you're automatically attracted to every member of the opposite sex regardless of their sexual orientation as long as they are in your appropriate age category. Ya know?). Not knowing what Mike says in the Diary Room allows Will to be pleasantly surprised by Mike's intelligence and debate skills.
The House Guests are eating peanut butter and jelly and we are reminded that it's all because of Lori. But the good news is that their week of torture is now over and there is all kinds of food in the storage room. It is theirs until the next food competition. They all pig out.
Adria and Diane talk in the hammock about an all girl alliance. They want to get rid of the Horsemen. Jennifer joins them and agrees to team up with them. They talk a little strategy about winning HOH and putting up Jase and Scott.
It's not time for the veto competition. Jase chooses Scott to compete, Mike chooses Holly and Jennifer chooses Drew because she knows he's part of the alliance that will keep her safe.
In the yard, there is a pond filled with flamingoes. The flamingoes are set up in four zones. The competing houseguests must throw hula hoops at the flamingoes. If they ring a flamingo, they choose another player to challenge. If that other player rings a flamingo in a higher zone, they eliminate the first player. If they fail to do it, they lose. If they tie, they both remain in the game.
Drew is up first and rings a flamingo in Zone 1. He challenges Mike. Mike is pretty good and rings Zone 3. Drew is eliminated. Mike rings zone 3 again and chooses to challenge Jase. They tie. Scott, Holly, and Jennifer all miss. Mike goes again and hits zone 3 again. He challenges Jase, but this time Jase hits zone 4 and Mike is out. Scott gets a hit this time and challenges Nicomis. He asks her quiety "Are you going to hit it? Are you going to hit it?" She thinks he said "Don't hit it" and agrees. She throws her turn away and yields to Scott. Scott realizes he has a lot of power. Holly is eliminated. Karen tells the Diary Room she thinks Holly was more excited that her hula hoops matched her shirt. Scott and Jase are left to battle it out. Jase tells the Diary Room he wanted Scott to win. Scott tells the Diary Room he did not want Jase to have any more power by winning. Scott wins.
Diane talks to Lori about an all girl alliance. They now have Adria, Diane, Jennifer and Lori. Diane encourages Lori to continue to draw on Jase's fondness for her.
Diane then approaches Will. Will goes along with her plans until he realizes that he doesn't have a very good chance. Diane tells Will that she will take Will and Drew as far as she can. Will gets Drew and tells him everything. Jase comes by and Will leaves and Drew tells Jase everything. Now the boys realize they have another threat to worry about. They determine that Adria and Diane have to go.
Nicomis strips the purple dye from her hair and it leaves her hair blond with a strong green tint.
The Horsemen talk in the dark HOH room about getting rid of Adria and Diane. Scott considers taking Mike off the block and putting Adria up. They talk about getting a deal from Mike to do it.
But, as always seems to happen, when the POV meeting rolls around, Scott does not change the nominations.
Drew ominously comments in the Diary Room that a lot of times the pawn ends up going home.
Tune in Thursday to see the live eviction ceremony and to learn more about the twin switch!
