Recaplet: August 23
Previously on Big Brother: Jennifer Lied (oh my!) which led to Kaysar being evicted (again!). Beau crawls out of his martini glass long enough to correctly answer questions about kitchen chairs and wins HoH. Among his HoH trinkets, we discover Beau loves both Charlie Brown (I got a rock) and Cappy. The Friendship plot the demise of Howie and Rachel. Power of Veto Competition takes place in the Big Brother Cement Pond, and we are shocked to learn that April's flotation devices are of no help and comfort to her in her time of trial. James wins veto (oh my!) -- Janelle comes really really close (again!) and the nominations stand.

Recaplet: August 25
Previously on Big Brother: Beau is to HoH as Boring is to Big Brother. Howie is to Rachel as Screwed is to Pairs. James is to veto as Mike's Hard Lemonade is to yummy. In what has to be one of the longest, most painfully drawn out hour show in Big Brother HISTORY, we learn absolutely nothing new, we see absolutely nothing interesting, and we hear absolutely nothing noteworthy, save for a heartfelt goodbye message from Ivette, who decides to burn her bridges before she has to cross them. Rachel is evicted and April wins HoH, ensuring another mindnumbing week. Sensing viewers everywhere are ready to jump out of their windows, Julie Chen informs us there will be NO SHOW on Saturday. *Phew!*
