[bunniefuu]

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Previously, on "Big Brother ," over two months

ago, houseguests entered the "Big Brother" house,

each with a secret partner.

My God.

NARRATOR: Last week, with the odds stacked against them,

the Sovereign Two took control.

JULIE: Congratulations, Howie.

You are the new Head of Household.

NARRATOR: Moments later, a surprise

announcement shocked the house.

This is another double eviction week.

NARRATOR: And Howie set his sights on the final pair.

I love you, Ivette.

Beau-Beau.

It's all right.

NARRATOR: With Beau and Ivette on the block,

April and Maggie made a pact.

We're going to have a partner up.

I think we're a strong team.

We have to fight for each other.

We're just going to have to take each other

as far as we can in this game.

A former houseguest played host for the veto competition.

I'll be your host, Holly, from "Big Brother ."

And Maggie, you're the winner of the golden Power of Veto.

NARRATOR: With the veto in hand, Maggie's allegiance to April

was tested.

If I take one of you guys off, April goes up.

I want you to do what you think is best for you.

[WHISPERING] I'm saying, strategically,

now, if I keep them as a pair, it keeps me in the game longer.

What do you mean, it's not your fault?

Maggie, of all people--

for her to even be thinking about

just go ahead voting me out--

NARRATOR: In the end, Maggie chose

to keep her word to April.

I'm choosing not to use the veto.

NARRATOR: And the final pair was split apart.

By a unanimous vote, Beau, you have been evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

NARRATOR: At the Head of Household competition,

the power switched sides once again.

JULIE: Congratulations, Ivette.

You are the new Head of Household.

Oh, my god!

NARRATOR: Who will Ivette nominate for eviction?

And will the Power of Veto be used

to save one of the nominees?

Find out tonight on "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

[music playing]

By a unanimous vote, Beau, you have been evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

Tonight, we lost Beau.

And it is a very, very sad thing.

All we could do is remember Beau in this house

and take a piece of him with us.

I felt like, even though I wasn't HOH,

I was the one sending someone home.

That's a very terrible feeling, for me to stay

and for Beau to go.

I was really sad when Beau left the house.

I voted for Bo, because, you know, Howie wanted Beau gone.

I like Beau.

I wanted Ivette gone.

She annoys the [muted] out of me.

I love you, Beau-Beau.

You know, Beau-Beau, I love him.

I told him I love him.

And it's not personal.

Beau-Beau knows that.

It is strictly strategical.

Did I feel sad seeing him walk to the door?

Absolutely.

I lost Beau, which-- it truly, truly crushed to see him go.

You know, it was such a difficult moment for me.

Bye, Beau. I love you.

- Goodbye, Beau. - Bye, Beau.

- Love you. - Send Jen our love.

When you lose someone here, you just really

feel, like, a void, you know?

You're not complete yet.

And this even goes back down to Cappy.

You know?

I'm still playing for you.

Now that Beau is gone, well, the chance's of our million

no longer exist, and I am just a regular player

in the house going for .

There is no need to relate to them, because as far as I see

it, we're not their friends.

So there's no more game to be played.

We don't have to be nice to anybody anymore.

[laughs]

Ivette took it hard.

So Janie and I don't think that they have a chance.

Let this game-- let's get-- let's roll this game show on.

Let's get it going.

JULIE: April and Janelle, the two of you

have been eliminated.

Please join Howie on the side.

I frickin' lost miserably.

I feel upset.

I feel mad.

JULIE: We have a tie.

Ivette and Maggie please grab your chalkboards.

In the HOH competition Playing It

Straight, what was the total amount of points

scored for all the houseguests combined?

Answers, please.

Ivette, I need an answer.

The correct answer is .

Congratulations, Ivette.

You are the new Head of Household.

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

Ivette!

[screams] [inaudible]

It's an amazing feeling.

It truly is.

And I can't believe I got HOH.

I am ecstatic.

Oh, my eye.

I wanted all these good things for Ivette.

I wanted her to feel the HOH feeling.

I wanted her to see pictures of her family from home.

I know what that's done for me in this game.

And I don't want you to [muted]..

I know Maggie might have somewhat given it to me.

But anyways, I got HOH!

[cheering]

It's just another low blow that the Nerd Herd take one from us

again when Jedi Howie was not allowed

to leave the Jedi temple and compete in this event.

But whatever.

[inaudible] HOH!

I'm HOH!

I'm HOH!

I'm sick of the Nerd Herd winning.

Ugh.

It gets me so mad.

It's like, we can never get rid of them.

We can never be one up on them.

They've always got more people.

One of you b*tches are going down to the end.

Because one of those [muted] are going home.

One of them-- only one is going.

Then the other one is going.

And one of you b*tches is winning $,.

Why are you saying us?

Because I might not be here.

But I don't care.

I want Janelle out of the house because I've

been wanting Janelle out of the house since week one.

I promised Cappy that I would take of this house.

And now I promised Beau that I would

take her out of this house.

I want Janelle to go up.

One of them comes off.

You go up.

Absolutely.

Because you haven't packed yet.

[interposing voices]

That's what you're doing.

How important is that?

Congratulations.

Thank you so much.

I got three questions wrong.

You did a great job.

I wouldn't have done any better.

I would've missed most of them.

What other one did I get wrong?

What was the question about Michael?

Who likes butts, Casey or Michael?

Who said . the body part he likes most

on a woman is her buttocks?

I feel like a complete dumbass that I missed Michael's

question, because I remember him talking

to me about how he likes legs.

Why would Kaysar write down butts?

I thought he must have, you know, skipped that question

on the questionnaire, because he would never

write something like that.

What the hell was I thinking?

You've got to be kidding me.

I can't believe that just happened.

HOH room!

Maggie!

I'm coming!

Put some turbo on that butt!

The Head of Household's room has to be

better than even finding out that I moved into this house.

Oh!

It's Tushie!

Oh, how cute is she?

Aw!

Aw!

[inaudible] I gotta get a napkin.

I love her!

When Ivette walked in the room, she

saw a picture of her girlfriend Maggie, also known as Tushie.

She went down on her knees to look at this picture,

and she just started crying.

She is--

[inaudible]

Look at those curls!

Tushie is my girlfriend Maggie.

Everybody in the house has been dying to see Tush.

And that's her.

I named her Tush, because how many times can

you call a girlfriend "babe?"

That's the same shirt you're wearing!

Who's the hot chick on the left?

I don't want to, like, slander anyone on national television,

but her girlfriend is ugly as hell.

This right here--

Yeah, what is this?

Her mom--

Maggie's mom gave her this.

The fact that Maggie would take this away

from her everyday life that protects her

and send it out to me to protect me--

you can't ask for anything more.

I can't believe that Maggie sent me this.

What are you doing?

I'm happy for you!

I'm gonna show you how happy I am for you.

Howie opened up my Reese's Pieces

without asking permission.

Who does that?

I don't think that Howie and Janelle

comprehend a loving HOH room.

Lovers.

The Girl Scout troop has moved up to HOH for the third week.

Cappy, Beau, and Jennifer are up there.

And then we've got our family.

This is what HOH is about.

It's about securing your safety for a week

and about getting inspiration.

Everything that means the world to watch sleeps next to us.

The Girl Scout troop is back in action.

That's it.

It means everything.

[lightsaber noises]

Since Howie and I lost the HOH to Ivette,

it's a no-brainer that both of us are going to be going

up on the block this week.

The next step for us is for one of us to win the Power of Veto.

Right.

Yeah.

OK.

I have to win the Power of Veto and take myself off.

And then we go to Ivette and we approach her with a deal

and say, listen, Ivette, nominate April.

When the tie vote comes down to it, vote to evict April,

and we promise you that we'll bring you to the final three.

What do you think that, though?

It could possibly work.

Because--

Yeah.

Why not keep playing the game?

Don't give up.

Why should we stop?

I know.

Do it.

I think that's the best thing.

We are going to go Ivette with a deal.

We don't know if she's going to take it or not.

I'm going to offer her protection for me

and Howie for next week if we do win HOH.

She's kind of guaranteed the final three.

We have to win the veto, Howie.

[music playing]

[lightsaber noises]

When Howie got HOH, Howie was blessed in his basket

with two lightsabers.

Oh, are you kidding me?

Oh, dude, awesome, BB!

You will be a Jedi, Janie.

Will I really?

These are fun!

The minute he saw the lightsabers,

he wanted to being a kid all over again.

The Force was not with me tonight, Master Yoda.

[lightsaber noises]

He has not let them go.

He wants to bring them to the bathroom.

He is looking in the mirror going--

[imitates lightsaber noises] --and he's,

like, watching his muscles.

[lightsaber noises]

Howie really believes that he is, like, a Jedi.

[lightsaber noises]

Guys, I was in the living room--

--all day?

I was going--

--but, like--

[lightsaber noises]

I'm a great Jedi.

I practice and I meditate at home.

And in the real world, in traffic, I'm

always thinking about the Jedi way,

the Jedi art, the Jedi nature.

[lightsaber noises]

I'm good.

You know, I'm awesome with the lightsaber.

[lightsaber noises]

I'm awesome without the lightsaber.

I'm good with my hands.

I'm good with my feet.

You are but the learner.

I was but the leaner.

Now I am the master.

- Oh, no, no, no. - Oh!

[shrieks] [inaudible]

I can do cartwheels once in a while here

and there, like a true Jedi.

[lightsaber noises]

Jedi Janie is tough.

The Force this strong with her.

A powerful Jedi she will be.

Strong, you've become.

[yells]

[lightsaber noises]

I have become more powerful than any Jedi-- even you.

[screams]

Our lightsaber fight was pretty intense.

My Jedi training has been helping me out a great deal.

And the Force is strong with me.

Ah!

Ooh!

Ah!

[LAUGHING] Sorry.

It just comes natural to me, you know--

the lightsaber and everything.

I've never been a "Star Wars" fan.

"Big Brother" even gave me a red lightsaber.

And what is a red lightsaber?

A Sith Lord.

[lightsaber noises]

Evil.

The dark side of the Force.

Maybe I should be a Sith Lord and hunt down

and destroy the rest of the houseguests.

[lightsaber noises]

[music playing]

One of my duties as Head of Household

is to nominate two people for eviction.

Pros about Janelle leaving this house--

I've been dying to get rid of her since week one.

She is an annoyance in this house.

Pros about putting up April and Maggie

is that I would not have to be standing next to them

at the end.

I know when Ivette won Head of Household, I was really pissed.

But there's no way in hell I'm giving up.

That b*tch can still nominate me,

but she hasn't gotten out of the house.

I hold people's existence in my hands.

And each key signifies a casualty in this house.

With the nominations coming up,

the only thing I'm figuring out right now is,

is Maggie's key or April's key first?

That's the only thing I'm trying to figure out right now.

A lot of tears that have happened in this game.

Not the best of thoughts when I look at Howie and Janelle's

keys.

And at the same time, I see that, by keeping them,

I could probably win the money at the end.

All right, everyone.

It's time to gather around the table.

It's time for the nomination ceremony.

I find too funny that, in this game,

if you talk and you say the truth,

you are found to be loud.

And if you stay quiet, you are found to beat around the bush.

And if you lie to someone's face for the sake of the game,

you are a snake.

The only truth that you have and the only right

is your heart and your instinct.

So we know the routine.

April, you are safe.

Thank you, Ivette.

Maggie, you are safe.

Thank you, Ivette.

I nominated Janelle and Howie.

Janelle, I completely underestimated you when this--

when we started this game.

And I didn't realize how well you know the game.

It's very easy for you to come off as airy

and you have no idea what's going on,

and that is not the truth at all.

It's amazing to see what a woman can do to a man,

and how she can manipulate a man,

no matter what the game is, from several guys

that have been in this house.

And Howie, you know, you are still from the other side.

And we all knew, when we took sides,

what was going to happen.

Anyways, I never sugarcoat anything.

The truth is laid out.

That's why I nominated you guys.

So this concludes the nomination ceremony.

Thanks, Ivettey.

You're welcome. Yay.

Hugs, hugs, hugs.

Kisses, kisses, kisses.

- Oh, Howie. - Oh, sorry.

Hugs and kisses, Howie.

You're such a beefcake.

Oh, my gosh, I'm completely floored that I

was nominated today.

But I do think it's kind of ridiculous that she

blames all-- the whole entire game on my strategy

of manipulating men.

She can never go to the truth, which is basically,

I won it because I'm good.

Oh, boy, Janie.

So sorry.

It's all right.

It's not yet.

Right.

No biggie, no worry, no sweat.

This game ain't over yet.

I forgot a bunch of things that I wanted to say.

I liked Ivette's speech.

She kind of lays it out on the line.

Both April and I let her know that we were

thankful to not be nominated.

Is it OK, though?

Oh, my god.

It is so obvious, you know what I mean?

What did you think of that?

What a crock of [muted].

Yeah.

She always has an excuse for everything,

do you know what I mean?

You don't think I've ever manipulated you, do you?

Not at-- no.

Not for course of the game.

No

It's just a bunch of crock.

She's just trying to make something look melodramatic.

Ivette's speech wasn't too meaningful.

Eh, she just talked the talk, because, you know,

this is the one time she, you know, got to shine,

and, you know, probably never will again.

I don't think I manipulated Kaysar in any way.

- No. - I never manipulated Michael.

[inaudible] for game. It's for game.

And James had a--

I mean, there's three guys that were--

I mean, sure, I was really close with you guys,

but seriously, I don't think I manipulated you.

I thought Ivette's speech was pretty cowardly, especially

for her to say that I have manipulated

every man in this house.

I don't really agree with that.

What is it-- a crime or something?

What, because guys like me, suddenly, that's, you know,

something to be frowned upon?

Right.

I guess for a l*sbian, yeah.

I want to win the Power of Veto so bad, it's k*lling me.

I'd like to go toe to toe with Ivette

so I can actually beat her to her face.

b*tch.

[music playing]

Hey guys, it's time to gather around the living room.

It's veto competition time!

All right, guys.

It's time to go to our room assignments

and "Big Brother" will call us one at a time

to go outside and play.

We were separated into different rooms in the house,

and we were called one at a time out to the backyard.

The minute I walked out to the backyard,

I just saw this smoke.

So I walked around, and it was actually

a big picture screen with our pictures

changing on the screen.

So it was actually pretty cool.

Get ready to see your housemates like never before.

In front of you stands a revolutionary "Morph-O-Matic."

It morphs three different houseguests into one face.

Once the picture appears on screen,

light up the three names you think, make up that face.

Then run over and press the answer button.

If the three names are correct, a new face

will pop onto the screen.

The houseguest who correctly identifies

all six faces in the fastest time wins the veto.

[bell dings]

"Big Brother" would put up a face on the screen.

You had to run over to a wall, and it

had all of the members' names on it of the house.

And you had to pick the three that made the morph.

After picking the three people, you had to run over--

[bell dings]

--and hit a button.

And if you were right, the morph picture would change.

My strategy was to go from head to chin, in that order,

picking out the people.

Whoa!

[buzzer sounds] Oh!

Oh, I didn't mean to do that.

Ugh, sorry!

At one time, I had left a light on from the previous one,

so I had four names chosen, which was a waste of time.

Janelle, Sarah--

[bell dings]

Oh, my god.

We all make some ugly people when combined.

[laughs] It was like a female who had taken,

like, hormone pills to become a man.

[bell dings]

I see my hair on James and Sarah.

I'm like, why didn't someone tell me

that I look like a skater boy?

April, James--

[bell dings]

Yikes.

You see the flat hair, which-- you already knew it was Ivette.

But then you see these big, huge eyes,

and I was like, it's Jennifer.

Then the mouth is, like, crooked.

And I'm like, who has a jacked up,

crooked smile in their picture?

Sure enough, it was Howie.

[bell dings]

The last-- but not least-- one--

I'm sorry.

That picture was torn up from the floor up!

It was ugly!

Ashlea, Eric, and Michael.

[bell dings]

[sighs] Gosh.

Crap.

Ugh, that sucks!

[bell dings]

I like to think that I'm a very detailed person.

These faces were horrible.

They were like those weird circus things--

like circus of the freaks--

and there's a bearded woman.

[bell dings]

This is the pretty butch at the club

that I would not pay attention to even if she's pretty.

[buzzer sounds]

[bell dings]

A black guy with blond hair--

it was like an Arab black drag queen.

It was horrible!

That's probably why there are no Arab black drag queens.

[bell dings]

The first thing I see when that picture comes out

is Cappy's booty chin.

Has Cappy ever seen the size of his booty chin?

It's huge!

[bell dings]

Forever, huh?

I got out there, and I'm like, hey, let's go.

You know, my a*s is on the line once again.

Yes, I was wearing James's magical shorts that he gave me.

I [inaudible] help, though, on this event,

and wear James-- you know, the veto champion of all time--

you know, wear his underwears.

[bell dings]

Right off the get-go-- boom!

[bell dings]

I recognize it and, you know--

recognize!

And I got it.

The next one-- boom!

I ripped through it.

[bell dings]

The third one came up--

I think I have gone out with girls that look like that.

You know, she's cute.

The thing was cute, whatever it was.

[bell dings]

[buzzer sounds]

[buzzer sounds]

[buzzer sounds]

The picture that I got stuck on the most

was one where Howie's beautiful face was on this one.

Whoa, those are nice lips and teeth.

That's you, Howie!

Hello?

Anybody home?

Aw, that hurt.

[buzzer sounds]

I don't know

Who the hell is the final piece of this puzzle.

I had-- I'm just like, are you kidding me?

You're going to make me finish this?

It's over.

Nope.

No.

[bell dings]

Did I suck in this event?

That's not even a strong enough a word.

My only strategy in this game was

to try to trust my instincts.

And the first three names that popped up in my head,

I was just going to go for them and see what happened.

[bell dings]

My hair-- Beau--

my hair-- I don't even know.

I picked out Beau right away.

I thought it was my own hair.

And I knew I had Kaysar.

[buzzer sounds]

OK.

[buzzer sounds]

[sighs] Maybe that's Rachel's-- is

that my hair or Rachel's hair?

Then I went, oh, my gosh, that's Rachel's hair.

Rachel, Kayar--

[bell dings]

God.

I hope no one in this house decides to have

children with each other.

I think that that would be a very, very bad idea.

[bell dings]

That was horrible!

This veto is very important to me.

It's very crucial to win it.

Because if I don't win it, I know that I'm going home.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.

[bell dings]

The first one was easy for me, because it was Michael's mouth.

And you know, I've seen that quite a few times.

Sarah, Sarah.

[bell dings]

The thing that I had wrong with the Rachel and Beau and Kaysar

combination was that--

Rachel's hair! [buzzer sounds]

I thought it was Maggie's hair-- being

like, who the hell is that?

[bell dings]

The Sarah and James combination, you know,

threw me for a whirlwind.

It was really bizarre.

And April's hair-- it was just really--

wow.

[bell dings]

When I first saw the Jennifer, Ivette, and Howie,

I thought, that's the ugliest chick

I've ever seen in my life.

She looked like she was beat with an ugly stick.

[bell dings]

Ew.

The last one looked evil because it had Eric in it.

[bell dings]

I screwed up.

I was, like, almost crying in the gold room

because I thought I did so horrible.

I was like, I really screwed up this one.

So I was really beating myself up about it.

We all rounded up.

We went back in the backyard to get

the scores for the competition.

All right, guys.

It's time to reveal the time on the veto.

The fastest time wins the golden Power of veto.

[clapping]

Woo!

April-- four minutes and seconds.

Maggie-- :.

April had the first name.

It was :.

So I knew I'd beaten that, but not by very much.

Ivettey Bird--

:.

Then I saw Ivette's time.

And she beat me, and I was very happy with that.

Howie--

Leave it there.

Leave it.

:.

There's really no words for what I did.

I want to apologize to "Big Brother" for bringing me here,

and my family and friends at home for watching this event

and having to explain that you really do know me.

And Janie-- :!

[screams]

[clapping]

I won! I won!

I won!

I won!

I was shocked that I won it.

And I was so excited.

Because Ivette thought that she had me out the door.

But I-- you know, I've proved her wrong.

The golden Power of Veto.

Jedie Janie proved once again why

she's the best in the business.

And the Nerd Herd is shaking in their pants.

Congratulations.

Surprise!

Janelle is in the house another week.

All she wants in life is a sugar daddy.

Why does someone like that deserve to continue to win?

God, I was kicking myself in the a*s.

I thought I lost.

What do you do with an all-star "Big Brother"

player like Janelle?

Every bit of you that is being somewhat confident just

goes, ooh--

down the floor-- done.

We love you, Howie.

Wow.

I feel really, really happy that I won the Power of Veto

and beat the Nerd Herd, but I'm just sad that I

can't save Howie, too.

She kicked a*s on this.

I know.

I see that!

I'm devastated.

I'm just going to have to do what I

was always going to have to do.

I have to start winning HOHs and I have to start winning vetoes.

[music playing]

Our worst case scenario just happened.

I thought I was going to have the veto and be like, finally,

she has to pack and go.

I'm not sending Janelle home.

I think the face says it all.

I thought it was my job, too.

It still could be.

Who knows?

Are you kidding me?

This girl's going to take me out next week.

At a time like this, you've got to laugh about it.

Because there's nothing else you can do.

[inaudible] We're going to win.

This is her, like, fifth or sixth

time up on the [muted] block.

My veto-- I have to send her home.

I truly thunk.

Everybody feared James.

I feared Janelle.

I've been fearing Janelle.

We had a double J problem.

I told you guys we needed to get rid of that b*tch

a long time ago.

The minute I walked out there, I said, the b*tch

is going to kick a*s at it.

I knew it.

She's a visual person.

Do you not see that?

You're a visual person.

That's why I knew that you would do the best out of all of us.

Yeah, but that's why she did so bad at knowing other people,

is because she doesn't give a [muted]

about their personalities.

All she looks at is what they look like.

We find it very, very odd how much Janelle stares at people.

But it was an advantage for Janelle to stare

at people in this game.

I knew Howie was going to suck.

I knew Howie was going to suck.

I knew Howie was going to suck.

He has so bad eyes.

I think I'm going to cry for Howie.

I do feel bad for him.

His a*s-- - Listen.

--was on the line.

A blessing could be that decides it's not worth it.

You never know.

There is no way in hell Janelle

is going to have a big enough heart to use that on Howie.

Janelle is very, very selfish.

And I'll go up by Howie.

And it'll probably end up being a tie-breaker by Ivette.

So what do you do?

Ivette got HOH.

Ivette put up Janelle.

Ivette tried to get rid of Janelle.

Did not succeed.

She's still got to go through us three first, though.

She's got to go through us.

I don't want you to leave.

Well, you won.

You move on.

I love you, Howie.

I love you, too, Janie.

Janie beat me fair and square.

She won the right to move on.

And I'm happy for her.

I can only be happy for her.

Good job.

Oh, Howie.

Good job.

You don't think there's any way she'll go for it?

She might.

We are going to go to Ivette with a deal.

We don't know if she's going to take it or not.

If I do veto myself, there are only two houseguests

that she can put up on the block,

which are April and Maggie.

I think April's going to get nominated.

But I basically going to ask Ivette

for her vote to vote out April.

Or you can simply tell her, I'm staying.

If I win HOH, I'm taking you right out.

I'm taking you right out.

She wants the money, right?

Yeah.

And I'll say, look, if you're in the final three

with me and Howie, and you win, there's no way that we

can beat you in the final two.

Exactly.

I'm just hoping that Ivette realizes this is a game,

and this isn't, like, you know, some campfire game or something

that she's playing here.

It's a lot of money at stake.

And if she wants a shot at the money,

she's got to make some aggressive steps.

You won the veto.

You won the right to go on. My time was an embarrassment.

You know--

Oh, Howie.

I think I love you, though, anyway.

I know, Janie.

How much can I trust you?

How much can you trust me?

Uh-huh.

A lot--

I mean, %, %.

I mean-- I mean, if you want to--

I mean, you can trust me a lot.

I mean, I'm going out the door this week,

so it's nothing-- it's not going to hurt you.

Ivettey came to me.

I mean, I was out there swimming.

She came all the way to the backyard where I was,

by my pool, and sat down there, and, basically,

I was just listening.

Well, I'm going to be honest with you.

I-- when I came into the house and I saw my picture

next to you, I truly thought at times that I'd

be sitting next to you.

Did you really?

I really did.

For some weird reason, I pictured Howie

and I at the end together.

If I was truly going to play this game strategically,

it would be smart for me to get rid of one of my friends

now, because then I wouldn't have to do it later.

This is the way I see it, Howie.

And this is truly between you and me.

Let's say right now, I decided to keep you over April.

OK.

All of a sudden, I'm sitting with you at the final two.

If I were to vote April off and keep you, Howie--

she threw that on the table.

Does she want a deal?

Does she want me here?

Does she want April gone?

What is in the back Ivettey Bird's mind?

Let's say I go down with Maggie.

It's a / shot.

It's a crap sh**t, kind of.

Right.

See where the votes go.

If I make it down there with April, see where the votes go.

If I go down with Janelle, I know where

the votes are going to go.

If Janelle and I were sitting at the end,

I would win, hands down.

I would win against Howie, hands down.

I would want to be at the end with one of those two.

It'd benefit me to be at the end with one of those two.

I stuck with the right group, and the majority's in the jury,

and I would get the money.

This house has taught me a lot of things.

You can't count all your eggs before they hatch.

You definitely can't.

[music playing]

I basically have to save myself,

because the girls want me out of the house.

I love the fact that I have to make

Ivette nominate one of her own.

I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

Come on, everybody, into the living room,

for the veto meeting!

[clapping]

[lightsaber noises]

This is the veto meeting.

Howie and I have been nominated for eviction.

But I hold the power to veto one of the nominations.

Howie, I'd like you to tell me why you think

I should veto your nomination.

After the ceremony, the person that uses this

goes on to the final four.

If I had the veto and I didn't save myself,

you know, I wouldn't have a family to go back to.

I wouldn't have a friend to go back to.

And same with you.

If, you know-- you won this veto.

If you didn't use it, then your family would be like, Janelle,

what are you thinking?

You won it decisively, and you should save yourself.

[blows kiss]

[blows kiss] Well, Howie, I have thought about saving you,

of course, because I love you.

But I know that if I stayed on the block,

that you guys would vote me out.

I'm not an idiot.

So I have decided to use the Power of Veto on myself.

Ivette, since I've just vetoed myself off of the block,

I'd like you to name a replacement nominee.

It's been discussed.

April?

A new blonde to sit next to Howie.

What a cute pawn.

What can I say?

April, I love you.

It's nothing personal, and you know that.

I just needed to find someone to replace Janelle

and to sit next to Howie.

You guys, this veto meeting is adjourned.

It was no shock.

April knew that she was going to be going up.

And she's our pawn for this week.

To leave a team in this game is not strategic.

You've got to separate them.

It was kind of hard, because I don't want

to see Howie on the block, and I know

there's a really good chance that he will go home this week.

But if Howie is the one to leave, of course,

I'm going to seek revenge on those people

that have, like, basically destroyed

all my friends in this house.

I don't see any reason why it would

benefit Maggie or Ivette to keep Howie in the house this week.

After this Thursday, if everything goes as planned,

I will be in the final four, which is insane.

I need one four-letter friggin' vote--

one.

Ivette, the Head of Household, is the tiebreaker this week.

I only need her vote.

NARRATOR: Who will be evicted next--

April or Howie?

And who will become the new Head of Household?

Find out love, Thursday at :, : Central
