In Case You Missed It:
The new head of household, Dana, the Queens karate instructor, decided to make
the boldest move to date in the Big Brother 4 contest. She decided to part
company with the original plan of knocking off all the exs before going after
each other, placing Allison and Jack on the block.
Almost as one, each
of the original houseguests, except for Jun, decided that Dana will rue the day
she decided to go back on her word. With the game now apparently two alliances
of five each, who will gain the upper hand with the upcoming power of veto?
The answer awaits you as you read on...
SAVING ALLISON'S
PRIVATES
Battle lines were drawn in the Big Brother 4 house like never
before.
Many were scrambling to find the logic in Dana's move. Some,
like Jack, felt her move was "dreadfully stupid."
Allison, the beauty
queen, decided to take it personally. Erika suggested to Allison in the
backyard that Justin might have had something to do with her call.
Justin marveled at the sequence the keys were pulled out. Jun, for
example, pulled out Erika's key. Erika, in turn, pulled out Robert's key. Dave
would pull out Justin's key in another sequence.
Jun and Jee are
continue to work as a couple in the house, with Jee continues to serve as house
handyman. Dana compares their relationship something between the Osbournes and
Ozzie and Harriet. When Jee was fixing a lawn chair, Allison, Robert, and Dave
all acted as if the lawn chair was still not fixed, falling on their backs on
the chair. Jee was not amused by the practical joking.
Dana and Allison
finally clashed, in a polite way, over the nominations. Allison told Dana that
she felt somewhat betrayed about the process, while Dana asked her to look at
the game for her angle. No one, Dana told the Pennsylvania beauty queen, had
the courage to make the move that she did.
In the second segment, Jack
is giving his group a pep talk about winning challenges. Dave confides that the
men in her new alliance would turn on her in a second. In the bedroom, Dave
tells Erika that Allison would be the person to go if the current vote stands.
Meanwhile, Allison and Justin have a talk. Allison confronts Justin
about the possibility of being in collusion with Dana. Justin pretty much
denies the notion out of hand, saying it wasn't so long ago that it was the
remaining exs who were behind the eight-ball.
In a more humorous
segment, we see Dave's knack for cannonballing whoever is in the hammock. But,
what goes around comes around, and Justin is shown cannonballing Dave in another
clip.
Then in a living room conversation, Allison is really pulling for
either herself or Nathan to win that magical "Power of Veto." Allison even puts
in a prayer to the Lord almighty for this to happen. Nathan suggests to her
that they may even have to backstab Jack, Dave, and Erika, to survive in the
game.
On to the veto competition, which looked quite bizarre. Helmets
and kneepads were laid out on a set of boxes with each houseguests name on it.
Balls were dropped from a container, much resembling what Captain Kangaroo used
to get on occasion. Balls were many colored, but only green balls counted.
Once a houseguest put 10 balls in their respective V, they won the game.
Some came out with battle scars. Jun got hit right in the eye with one
of the balls, while Jee kept getting his balls in his private places. In the
end, Nathan won, and was the Power of Veto. Nathan, in his Diary Room
post-mortem, vows to shake things up.
In the next clip, the houseguest
chow down assorted sandwiches, thanks to this week's sponsor, Burger King.
Back to the game, and back from the in-show commercial. Nathan tells
Allison that the game is about to turn, and that the Power of Veto will be used.
Dana, in a Diary Room clip, is eager for Nathan to do so, since she has
something up her sleeve as well.
In another lighthearted clip to start
off the fourth segment, we see Allison's elephant constantly in the hands of
Dave or Nathan. In one clip, it's been hung, placed in the oven, hid in one of
the stools, and finally, in a tub with a toaster.
Time for yet ANOTHER
competition, with the prize of a gourmet dinner for two at stake. Each
houseguest had to spin around in a spinning chair for 30 seconds. Then, while
dizzy, they had to balance a tray with a champagne glass from one table to one a
few feet away and ring the bell. If the glass falls below a certain level, they
are disqualified and their run immediately concluded. Allison, which a time of
just over 11 seconds, captures the prize. Allison chose Nathan to spend time
together with.
Both get dressed slightly formal, and retired to the
backyard where their dinners were set up, complete with champagne and a few
other entrees. Instead of talking game, the houseguests talked about each
other's live. Nathan reminded Allison that it snows in Oklahoma. Dana,
however, figures if the two of them don't make out, it's a waste.
In the
final segment, Allison has the need to show off her cute rear to Justin. If
Allison were to get HOH, she recommends to Justin that it might not be a bad
idea to kiss her ass. Nathan talks to Allison in the bedroom, saying that
shooting her mouth off to the enemy was not the best idea.
Then it was
time for the veto meeting. With quick appeals from the nominees, it was Nathan
who was on the clock.
And tonight, Nathan does something we haven't seen
in quite a while.
He elects to USE the power of veto, and saves Allison
from eviction.
Dana is part sad, but part frothing, as she makes her new
choice:
"I can't believe you, Nathan. Seriously. I'm at a loss for
words. You're valuing one person more than another on a team that you were on.
I don't think it's a gutsy decision. If you're trying to play superhero, I
think you're making a big mistake. David, you can thank Nathan for it, because
I have to put you on the block. I'll do something he'd never do."
This
move only made Nathan more enemies. Erika and Jack openly question his
decision, while Dana vows that Nathan is a mortal enemy.
Analysis:
Tonight's show makes a great case that there are alliances within the
alliances as the game stands right now. The game is being played at such a
breakneck pace, as compared to last year. Will we see someone else break down
like Scott later in the game?
But all in all, a great episode, should
make my top 10 list for BB4.
We've gone a few rounds already, and it
appears there's not going to be an America's Choice this year. This isn't a bad
thing if you ask me, since all during Big Brother 3 the results of all these
events were never shown, leading to speculation, myself included, that America's
Choice was more like Arnie and Allison's Choice.
Dave appears to be the
favorite to go tomorrow. If he does, he will be the first houseguest evicted
not to have been in that round's nomination ceremony. Allison and Jack will be
the first two nominees in a ceremony were neither went home. Dana, Justin, and
Nathan would be the early favorites to go in Round 4.
Allison's little
prayer to the heavens kind of sickened me. Did she try to imply that that a
higher power wanted to mess with the nine other houseguests?
