In Case You Missed It:
For the first time in Big Brother, a houseguest became the executioner of their
better half. Jun, the young New York investor, put up Jee and Allison. Then,
Allison made history by being the first houseguest ever to be saved twice. In
Round 3, Nathan did the honors, and just two nights ago, Allison became the
first houseguest to save herself.
Jun then put Robert, the former Los
Angeles restaurant manager, on the block. Erika and the now safe Allison each
voted to send Jee Choe of Elmhurst, New York, to the jury as the fifth place
finisher.
Then, with Robert needing a miracle to capture his first Head
of Household crown, he got one, as he got his final question correct, forcing a
tiebreaker. Erika would narrowly miss the tiebreaker, giving Robert what would
seem to be a stay of execution for at least the next two weeks.
Tonight,
Robert is the sole man in a house with three women he has openly stated he
despises. And tonight, two of the three go on the block, with the remaining
woman possibly determining their fate.
What will Robert do? Find out!
RISE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
The show began with the usual
post-mortem on Jee's departure and how Robert won the HOH crown.
The fun
begins when Robert opened his HOH room for the first time. Among the goodies
were a CD of Cuban music, a large card from daughter Elena, and a letter from
his mother, which got him crying. According to Robert, it answered a lot of
questions concerning how well Elena is doing.
Jun points out Rob's gift
of flowers, and on top of the flowers was a white butterfly. Then, Robert spots
a small, stuffed teddy bear called a "honey bear". Both trinkets symbolize
Robert's love for her daughter. But for Erika, it meant something else: the bear
was also a gift given to Erika by Robert when they were going out.
Then,
the infighting amongst the three surviving women got underway. Jun and Allison
quickly began getting jealous and petty about how much time Erika was spending
with Robert. Inside, Robert quickly lays out the game plan. His goal is to
eliminate the Pennsylvania beauty queen.
The girls continue to whip
themselves into a lather. "I hate her. I f***ing hate her", Erika tells Jun as
both are in the house's large bathroom. The girls go on, calling Erika a
traitor. Allison, for one, finds it odd the Robert is kissing her butt, wanting
to reconcile their relationship.
After a commercial, the funnier side of
the game is looked at. Robert thinks Jun has been getting sexually aroused
giving him deep tissue messages, but according to Jun, nothing could be farther
from the truth. Meanwhile, Erika and Allison discuss playing with makeup. Erika
finds it a little odd that Allison, a supposed beauty queen, wouldn't know much
about makeup. Allison tells us via the Diary Room she is merely feigning stupid.
The houseguests are given Mexican piñatas to decorate for an upcoming
food competition. The women take several hours preparing theirs, with Allison
making a little Indian resembling boyfriend Donny, Jun doing a New York and
Gingham style hybrid with hers. Erika's piñata was decorated like a puppy dog.
Robert plasters on two smiley faces and completes his in minutes.
After another break for the sake of sponsor's pockets, the food
competition was played, after the girls were given Mexican attire to wear. The
object was to bust the piñatas and collect all the Mexican pesos that they could
in just 10 seconds. Should they fail to collect a combined 500 pesos, they get
PBJ for the week. A total of 600 pesos or more gives them the usual supply of
groceries for the week. If they get 2,400 pesos, it's a luxury dinner from a
four-star restaurant every day of the week, including a Mexican dinner and
margaritas for the night.
When the final tally was totaled, they
gathered a whopping 2,800 pesos, giving the houseguests the best possible food
for the week.
A Mexican dinner was supplied, and the houseguests
gleefully filled their faces with the grub. When they came back inside...Allison
gasped! "The table!"
Each houseguest lamented about the finality of the
now very small table.
In the fourth segment, Allison is chasing all
kinds of ants and spiders with pesticide supplied by Big Brother. The other
houseguests comment about how manic Alli is about chasing those insects. In
another clip, Jun and Allison talk about their constant jockeying for attention.
Alli talks about having problems as a child, being born in breach and having a
bad case of jaundice. Then, when Alli got a little older, she had a case of
spinal meningitis, a swelling of the brain some children get.
Robert
touches base with Jun, and then Allison, to see what's on each ladies mind.
While Jun was in, Alli tells Erika that she's only aligned with her. When Alli
graces Rob with her presence, he tells her that she is the strongest player.
Alli thinks that Robert's best move is to take her along to the finals, since
she believes she has no chance to win.
This leads to nominations, and
tonight is Big Brother 4's last nomination ceremony. Tonight, three keys are
gathered by Robert from the memory wall. And of those three, only one key makes
the nomination box.
Erika would be the lucky person to be safe, for now,
meaning Allison makes her third trip to the block, and Jun makes her second.
Robert tells both of them that they represent the game's top threats as he sees
it.
In the closing moments, Allison tells us that if Robert is trying to
curry favor with Erika, and if his decision is based on that, he's a "retard".
Analysis:
Well, tonight was the showing of the last nomination
ceremony, which was actually taped last night, September 4. The ceremonies have
made a complete transformation from the ceremonies we saw during Big Brother 2.
You could count on a confrontation or a verbal joust during nominations, but
nowadays, it never happens. Could Big Brother be giving the houseguests orders
to let the HOH speak his peace, and not to interfere?
Since there is
increasingly little to cover in the Big Brother house now that it's down to four
participants, the final three weeks of the show will have two episodes only on
during a week.
If you are wondering how the POV will work with four
people, let me explain. If Erika wins the Power of Veto, and should decide to
take either Jun or Allison off the block, Erika automatically trades places with
the person she takes off. Needless to say, it really wouldn't be in Erika's best
interests to do that. Now, if Jun or Allison win POV, not only do they take
themselves off the block, they become the final vote.
This could be most
exciting week of the game. Each of the women are strong players, but each has to
realize they can only get rid of one of their own. If Allison or Jun should win
POV, Erika is probably gone. If Robert or Erika win, it's Jun that is likely
gone. As much as Robert would like to get rid of Allison, it's Erika, in that
scenario, who's in total control.
