Power of Veto time in the Big Brother house! Last time we saw the houseguests, Brittany and Victoria were on the block and the newly formed Detonators decided that Brittany was the number one target.

 

The episode starts with Brittany lamenting about her nomination this week and if she stays, another one next week. And we get to see this houseguest that everyone keeps talking about: Victoria! She thinks she's alone in this house. It's okay; we barely realize you're in the house.

 

But of course, it wouldn't be a Big Brother episode if we didn't get to see Caleb creepily continue his obsession with Amber. And this episode is no different. Caleb decides to sneak up to the HOH room, avoiding all the cams and bursts into the HOH to see Cody and Amber getting touchy on the couch. Awkward. Beast Mode Cowboy is not happy and somehow finds a fake knife that he creepily plays with as he watches Amber and Cody flirt. It is creepy, it is stalker-ish and it definitely needs to stop.

 

After Caleb sees his queen flirting with another guy in the house, he goes and sits outside...by himself. Brittany comes out and Caleb says he's irritated. Here we go. Caleb begins his same old speech of how Amber doesn't appreciate him. And Brittany complains about being on the block. Welcome to Big Brother. Moving on...

 

At this point, Cody is made aware that Caleb is unhappy with Cody and Amber's relationship. Cody starts to get incredibly paranoid and immediately thinks that Caleb is soon going to come after him. Could Caleb be in danger in his own alliance?

 

The players are picked for the POV comp! It'll be Cody, Brittany, Victoria, Nicole, Zach and Caleb playing. Brittany actually got Houseguest Choice and because of the conversation she had the night before, she chose Caleb. Brittany...you can't blindly trust people after one conversation.

 

The veto comp this week is soccer-themed and it's the BB Cup! The houseguests have to kick a ball at goals with different numbers. The player with the lowest number will be eliminated. Then they choose a prize but wait, the next player eliminated can either keep his prize or trade. This should be a good one. Cody, the first player eliminated, gets the veto, which he quickly loses to Brittany. From there it gets crazy and the prizes (or punishments) end up like this:

• Cody gets Penalty Kick (for the next 24 hours, he gets kicked in the butt 10 times by a machine whenever the whistle blows)
• Brittany gets Goal Oriented (she has to score 2,400 goals in 24 hours or she can't compete in POV next week)
• Zach gets a Germany vacation
• Nicole gets Germitard(a Germany-themed unitard she must wear for the week)
• Caleb gets $5,000
• Victoria wins POV

Cody flips and wants to put Caleb up. Caleb had actually won the competition in the final round against Victoria but instead of choosing veto, he chose $5,000 and left Victoria with the power to save herself. So Cody is mad because now he's forced to put up someone else as a nominee due to Caleb's "selfishness". But in a game where the overall prize is half a million dollars... can you really blame him for taking the money?!

 

Morning of the POV ceremony and Cody is still trying to figure whether he should make a smart move and put Caleb up or be wimpy and put Donny up. Donny and Cody end up having a conversation in the HOH room where Donny tells Cody to do what's best for him. Cody tells Donny that he's not going to put him up, Caleb's going up and no one can change his mind. No one but Derrick apparently. Frankie wakes up the magician to talk to Cody about putting up Caleb. In a few minutes, Derrick has to convince Cody to not put Caleb up. But Cody's set on his decision so the veto ceremony will be a shock to somebody.

 

Veto ceremony and Victoria is all dressed up. She does the obvious thing and saves herself. And Cody does the dumb thing and wimps out. Cody puts up Donny. I guess Derrick worked his magic and Donny says he will find out who's to blame for manipulating Cody. Immediately after the ceremony, Cody is very emotional and it's clear that he's upset about what just happened.

 

Find out if Donny or Brittany will leave the Big Brother house, Thursday at 9/8c on CBS.
