Were down to the Final Fourday 73. Just one week away from the finale. Julie reports that the Final Four are in a fight for survival.
We get the ever-helpful black and white flashbacks, in which Maggie and Ivette were nominated. Ivette predicts that things are going to get ugly.
After the nomination ceremony, the remaining members of the Friendship begin plotting. Ivette has to fight for the veto. Ivette bitches to Maggie that April has changed the way she played the game from the beginning.
Maggie tells us in the DR, basically, that she listens to both Yapril and Ivette bitch and moan but doesnt agree or disagree with them. She later tells Ivette that shes not really planning to fight for the Veto, a fact with makes Ivette very ANGRY in the Diary Room. Why all the shouting, Ivette?
Theres more discussion between Maggie and Ivette about who would take whom to the Final 2. Maggie points out in the DR that, logically, all anyone can do now is watch out for themselves. The Chenbot intones that the Friendship alliance is cracking.
Now we go to the Jury House in picturesque Napa Valley. Julie tells us that the evicted Hamsters are as divided as the Hamsters still in the house James and Rachel vs. Jennifer and Beau. What will happen when Howie arrives? Well, for one, things are gonna be a lot more amusing!
The Jury Members play volleyball and wait to see which Hamster will appear next. James greets Howie with Dumbass!
Rachel stakes her claim on Howie and interviews that Jennifer better keep her hands off him.
The Jury fires up the next round of video footage and watch Ivette win HOH. Beau freaks out with joy as only Beau can. Howie mutters something about a diva fight and frogs chirping, but I think hes had a little too much to drink because I dont understand a word of it. Hes charming as always.
Commercial for giant M&Ms. Is there anyone out there who says, Sure, I would eat M&Ms if they were only bigger ?
Julie welcomes us back and reminds us that tonight is the games most important Veto competition. The game once again involves very large photos of the Hamsters and some sort of elaborate set-up. The game is called Missing Link and involves uncovering clues about the HGS (some with multiple answers) and they answer the question and put the right face in the chain. If one face is out of place you have to figure out which one it is. Sorry, I cant explain it any better than that.
These games are getting awfully repetitive and whats with all the gigantic photos of the Hamsters? They need to hire some new game creator people.
Then comes my least favorite BB moment, in which we hear Maggie re-explaining the game that Janelle just freakin explained. Argh.
HehJanelle interviews that it was easy, then decides that maybe it was medium, and finally declares that it was difficult, the kind of game that April doesnt do well with.
The game goes on and on and, finally, Ivette wins and freaks the hell out. Again with the screaming. April thought it was rude, given that Ivettes win means one of her Friends will be going home. However, and props to April for this, instead of just bitching about it in the DR, actually confronts Ivette about it in the workout room. Ivette says in the DR that she doesnt understand Aprils issue.
April cries in the HOH room and Janelle goes to comfort her. In the DR, Janelle says its strategy. April says that she would vote for Janelle over Ivette and Janelle gleefully says that it gives her more motivation to take Ivette to the finals.
Julie Chen is wearing the biggest belt buckle EVER. I wonder if she has her name on it?
The Friendships future is now in jeopardy. Now Ivette is crying about how she really didnt want the Veto because she didnt want the responsibility. She won the Veto for her family. Not another one of these playersthere are much better ways to get money for your family.
Veto Ceremony. Ivette says that shes been misunderstood in this game. She saves herself and Janelle must nominate Yapril, who is wearing big stupid ugly Ugg slippers.
Ivette tells Maggie her family would never have forgiven her if she didnt use the Veto. April joins them in the backyard and says, basically, that a lot of the decisions she made in the game were because Ivette told her to. Yapril is ashamed of the things shes done but tells Ivette not to take it mean.
Janelle eavesdrops from inside the house and Ivette and April go back and forth as Maggie watches silently. I hate both of them. Yapril should be her own person. Ivette should get off her damn high horse. Both of them should shut up. The fight ends with Ivette telling April to shove the Veto up her ass and storming off.
April backpedals in the DR, continuing to blame Ivette for everything. Ivette cries in her bed.
Julie talks with Janelle in the HOH. Janelle is pretty proud of herself for causing the big Ivette/April fight. Julie does the whole Im going to say the name of a HG and you say the first word that comes to mind deal:
Julie: Maggie
Janelle: Quiet
Julie: Ivette
Janelle: Loud
Julie: April
Janelle: Talkative
Well that was certainly insightful. Time for another eviction. Thinning of the herd, whee!
Were live in the Living Room and Julie tells Ivette that she will cast the lone vote to evict. Maggie and April both have a chance to plead their case. Yapril is all dressed up in a black dress and Maggie is in track pants and a sweatshirt or something.
Ivette casts her vote, starting off by saying how much she loves both of them, blah blah blah. Oh, and she talks about Cappy again and I have to wonder what the obsession is. She also gives shoutouts to Beau and Jennifer. Finally, mercifully, with tears threatening to fall, she votes to evict Yapril. Everyone says goodbye and talks about how much they love everyone.
April makes it to Julie Chens lair as the remaining three wander around the house, sniffling.
Julie asks if Ivettes decision was personal or strategic? Yapril says it was both and yet takes five minutes to finish answering the damn question. They talk about Ivettes final speech and the fight they had earlier in the week.
Yapril diplomatically says that Ivette is a very vocal person. Heh. They watch the goodbye messages. Ivettes is very bitchy and Maggie looks like shes not wearing any clothes.
The Final HOH competition begins with Part 1. Janelle, as outgoing HOH, will be allowed to compete. The women are sent out into the backyard where theres a giant safe with a wheel (kind of like a Hamster wheel turned sideways) thats the dial of the safe lock. The girls have to perch on the edge of this dial and hold onto a key above their heads. Ivette asks a lot of damn questions about holding onto the key.
Of course, the dial starts turning and the girls end up having to sashay back and forth as it moves, which looks like a good workout, actually. Julie informs them that the winner of round 1 will get the combination to the last gold safe.
