Shortly into this episode, Jeff and Russell reconfirm their newish alliance, which also includes Jordan. Obviously it’s dependant on what happens in the POV competition. Once that’s done, Russell then tries to get Michele on his side. Doesn’t go so well. They’re playing pool and he starts referencing what Ronnie had said to Michele when he was evicted, saying no one should ever have to deal with that. Then he went back to when he was upset about Michele lying in front of Chima, and Michele still denied it. Michele gets mad then goes into the HOH room to vent with Chima and Natalie. The girls confide in each other, growing tired of the boys and decide that the three of them need to get rid of the boys in the end. It’s all getting so messy!

Time to choose players for Veto Competition…

HOH is Chima so she’s in, and so are the nominees, Lydia and Russell. The three other players turn out to be Natalie, Russel got houseguest choice and picked Jeff (sealing his fate with his previous alliance with Jesse, Natalie, etc.), and Lydia also got Houseguest Choice and chose her best friend Kevin. Chima selected Michele to host. In the diary room, Jesse said it was the end of the road for “Russell and Jesse” when Russell picked Jeff instead of him.

For the POV competition, they were dressed up as chickens. They were cooped up chickens, separated from their eggs. They must rescue the eggs by lifting the eggs with their fingers up through a wire fence, through a small opening, and across the bacon walkway into a holder. First player to get 12 eggs safely across wins power of veto. If you break an egg, you have to get a new one. Kevin got the first egg. Natalie dropped her egg. Russell gets the second, followed by Jeff, then Lydia. Natalie just couldn’t do it. She kept breaking them and breaking them. Kevin is winning pretty much the whole time, but Lydia and Russell trail pretty close behind. Unfortunately, not close enough and Kevin won his first competition! Lydia feels really good about this, assuming that Kevin would use the veto to get her off the block.

Not so fast. Kevin doesn’t want to create enemies, so he is hesitant in taking Lydia off, so not to piss off Chima. But, he is conflicted because Lydia is his closest friend in the house.

Russell is scrambling at this point and talks to Jesse and says they should try to take Jeff out because he is a threat. Jesse is caught off guard, considering the thought there was some alliance between Jeff and Russell based on Russell using the Houseguest Choice on Jeff during the POV competition. Jesse doesn’t trust Russell so he decides to tell Jeff what he’s said. Jesse talks to Jordan too, telling her the same thing, that Russell is consistently lying to both sides. Jordan and Jeff realize that all of a sudden Jesse is talking to them because he is afraid, and not because he has their back or anything.

Then, as always, Chima and Russell ending up getting into a huge fight. Chima says, “You should have been on America’s top terrorist,” to Russell. Oops, wrong choice of words Chima, considering his color/background. She meant that he was terrorizing the whole house (which he has: Ronnie, Michele, Jeff, Chima…) and not actually a terrorist terrorist. Russell is in turn calling Chima a racist. They are screaming their heads off.

After a bit of tension regarding the decision Kevin has to make and Lydia having told Russell that Kevin wasn’t using the veto on her, Lydia and Kevin talk in green room. They start arguing a bit because he is upset that she is blabbing what he intends on doing, yet she’s upset that her closest friend is not going out on a limb for her.

Hmm. What’s going to happen. Time for the veto ceremony….

Chima says in confessional that if Kevin uses the veto on Lydia, then she will question his loyalty to her and not trust her.

What does he decide to do? Kevin didn’t use the veto on anyone. Was strategic or cowardly? In her confessional, Lydia is dejected and says regarding her nickname for Kevin, “I need to think of another name other than sugar bear. What a poopy bear!”

I wasn’t sure about his decision at first, but on second thought, I think he made the right choice, as long as Lydia doesn’t suffocate him in his sleep. At the end of the day, Jeff has the power anyway.

Please, please, please, put Natalie and Jesse up for eviction. THAT would shake things up for sure! Thursday, Jeff has his last chance to use Coup d’Etat. THAT will be a wicked episode.
