In Case You Missed It:
With Dana and Jun on the block, and Allison, determined to be Dana's
executioner, Dana's last chance came down to the Power of Veto competition.
Just to make matters worse, Allison became the person to eliminate Dana
in the "Power of Veto" game, and Dana didn't take Allison's glee with a great
deal of grace.
But when Robert won the POV game, Dana thought he'd be
her "get out of jail free card," thwarting Allison's efforts in retaliation for
Nathan thwarting Dana's.
However, stating that saving Dana wasn't in his
alliance's best interests, Robert chose not to use the POV to save either. This
leaves tonight's nominees as is, Jun and Dana, the two New York City denizens.
Who will be the ninth place finisher, and the first entrant into Big
Brother 4's remodeled jury? Find out, as Big Brother comes to you LIVE!
AND THEN, THERE WERE EIGHT, PLUS ONE JUROR
Julie Chen, the Big
Brother hostess with the mostest, welcomes us to Day 33 of BB4. Nine begin play
tonight, but at the close of this fast-paced hour, eight will remain in the
house, plus the evictee becomes the first EVER entrant into a brand new house
where the next seven evictees will be sequestered.
We get caught up to
date with recent developments in the game in the past few days. Dana flirted
with the temptation of campaigning against Jun, which in past Big Brother votes
was a big time no-no. Dana tells Erika in the Sandbox that Nathan and Allison
are gravitating towards the exs alliance. This got Erika thinking about saving
Dana, telling Jack that it wouldn't be wise for the Allison and Nathan duo to
call the future shots.
Jun, meanwhile, is no fool. She suspected Dana
was campaigning, and for her to fudge about it drove her crazy. She can't get
wait to eviction night to get rid of her paranoid pal. She even saw Dana
attempting to read lips.
Allison sees a window of opportunity. She
makes a deal with the "three stooges" that she'd vote with them, in exchange for
not being nominated.
Time for Julie's grilling of the houseguests, which
quickly got to Allison's flirting habits. She asks how Donny is reacting to
this. Allison replies that she still loves him with all her heart. Then Julie
threw a curve, giving the houseguests opportunity to give their final thoughts
of the two evicted. Jee thanked Jun for cooking in the house, which got a
sarcastic "you're welcome" from Jun.
Jee and Erika shared their thoughts
on the upcoming vote, but not the votes themselves, which seems to be an
indication of an unanimous vote.
Dana and Jun's families are profiled in
the second segment. Lisa, a cousin of Dana, thinks she got a bad rap with the
"man troll" moniker, and thinks Justin is Dana's perfect type of guy. Danny,
Jun's younger brother, taught him most of everything he knows. He tells us the
parents aren't watching the show, and thinks Jun's definitely using Jee, but so
is Jee.
In the exclusive interview with Allison, Julie gets quickly to
her in-game problems with Nathan. Allison makes no bones about it, Nathan is no
longer of use to her. Allison finds reading the bible to be an in-game release,
and for now, decides to honor her deal with Justin.
Jack and Robert give
their voting reflections as the show heads to its second commercial.
In
the third segment, the "three stooges" are profiled. Jack thinks that whenever
you talk to either Jee, Justin, or Robert, you talk to all of them. Justin is
the "Moe" of the Three Stooges, Jee being the "Curly", Robert being the "Larry".
Jack thinks the stooges are comical, but points out "they're still here." Even
Dana had to admit they are the strongest force in the house.
Time to
get the last thoughts from the two nominees. Dana expresses gratitude and
appreciation for her supporters, mostly on the outside. Jun calls her
experiences a rollercoaster ride, and wants to stay around, since she thrives on
drama.
Nathan and Justin share their pre-vote thoughts.
And now,
it's the moment of truth, but this vote has no suspense to it.
By an
unanimous 6 to 0 vote, DANA is evicted.
Dana is already ready to stand
as the vote is read, and she quickly walks to the door. She gets hugs from
everyone, and leaves in 51 seconds. Dana peeks in the door where Julie is, and
sits down. As we look back inside, the houseguests are mostly subdued over her
departure, with Justin in particular sporting a long face.
In the
post-mortem interview Julie conducted with Dana, she seemed pleased to go out
6-0 as opposed to a 3-3 tie with Allison determining who goes home. Dana says
she can't deal with phony people, and has no regrets about being true to
herself. Dana considers Justin a friend, and calls her experiences in the house
"relative". Farewell messages came from Erika, Jack, Allison, Jun, and Justin.
Time to start the fifth round with the all-important HOH competition!
The houseguests, with the exception of Allison, are placed in booths, with
pictures of the departed houseguests in front of them. Each question can be
answered by identifying a now departed houseguest, plus Allison. Once a player
misses a question, they're eliminated, unless all players answer incorrectly.
Jack was eliminated after the first question. Robert and Jun were gone
after the second, leaving four. The third question eliminated everyone but
Justin, who now reigns supreme as the new HOH.
In the wrap-up segment,
Justin is congratulated for his HOH win, thinking his knowledge of Allison led
him to victory. When all are asked to sum up their thoughts about what they
miss in one word, most say "family".
New things on the horizon:
America's Choice returns starting next week, plus beginning next week all votes
will be happening live.
In the waning moments of the show, Allison,
Robert, Justin, and Jee converse in the living room. When Allison starts
crying, Justin tells Allison not to cry, and lets out a semi-expletive rhyming
with dagnabbit.
Analysis:
I don't think anyone outside of
greater New York will miss the abrasive style Dana had. I wouldn't rank her up
with some of the great villainesses of the game, such as Krista, Chiara, and
Shannon. She should have had the insight that the exs would chew her up and
spit her out, and she didn't. To me, a villainess knows her friends and uses
them anyway. Chiara had that. Allison seems to have the traits to be that.
Dana was merely a court jester.
I was going to say Allison seems to be
a threat to head over to the exs alliance, but it appears from tonight's show
she's about halfway there already!
While Jack and Erika continue to be
the top contenders, they are so far ahead of the field that they now enter a
time of maximum risk. Don't be surprised if anyone in the house makes a play
for them in the coming weeks, including Nathan or Allison. If Jack and Erika
are eliminated to the jury in short order, it makes BB4 a wide-open game anyone
can win, with Jun leading the rest of the pack right now.
With Justin as
HOH, Nathan seems to be the odds on favorite to be eliminated next, with Erika
and Jack being outside chances.
Finally, why didn't we see more about
the sequestered house, which was one of the big selling points for the show this
year?
