It really does suck to be Frank in the Big Brother house. Will there EVER be a time that that guy ISN'T nominated for eviction?! In six weeks, he's been nominated four times. The only two times he wasn't nominated were when he was the HOH! Now, he's facing off against his only true ally, Boogie, and things are not looking good for Chilltown 2.0 Boogie tries to figure out what happened with Shane, who places blame on Britney and Joe (of all people). Is anyone really supposed to believe Shane is taking game advice from The Screaming Chef?
Before Britney can feel Boogie's wrath, Shane gives her a heads up that he basically told him that she influences all his decisions and was behind some of his big moves in the game thus far. Of course, she's upset that she's been thrown under the bus but he maintains that he didn't drag her name through the mud. (Well, maybe a little.) She tries to smooth things over with the pair, but refuses to give up the person who told her they were coming after him. Boogie calls a meeting with Frank, Dan, Shane, and Britney. Again, no one will speak. In fact, Dan is so at a loss for words, that the guys now think it was him that was trying to get them out! It's pretty amazing how far everyone is willing to go protect Ian, whose chances of winning look better and better each day.
For the Veto competition, Shane pulls Jenn's name out of the bag and Frank and Boogie each get Houseguest's Choice. They, of course, go with Ian and Ashley - and it's time to play Candyland! The backyard looks like what I imagine the inside of Ashley's brain looks like. Everything is so bright and colorful! The players have to guess how many pieces or pounds of candy are in very large piles, after looking at smaller piles. They can either stay or fold - Big Brother fans, you've seen this before.
Boogie goes out first (ridiculous), followed by Jenn, and Ian, who throws the competition. Shane is out next, leaving only Ashley and Frank left. Ashley folds on her turn which means that Frank automatically wins the POV. Now, if the guys can convince Shane to backdoor someone, they could survive yet another week in the house together.
Their target? Dan. They're sure that he is the one who tried to get them out of the house, so they're appealing to the "floaters" (Jenn, Joe, and Ian) to campaign to Shane to get him out. Jenn is the only one we see actually trying to do this. Yes, she's still playing. Or maybe starting to play? Meanwhile, Boogie turns on some crocodile tears for Britney to convince her to keep him, but of course, she's not buying it.
At the Veto ceremony, Shane decides to replace Frank with Jenn. The Quack Pack remains intact! Jenn says it's been her strategy to lay low and now, we're about to see her get fired up. I sure hope so!
