Episode 14.22
HOH Competition: swinging on a rope around a giant sun. Joe is out first, and America has chosen for the first person out a punishment of hula-hooping for 24 hours when the music plays.
It comes down to Shane and Ian or as Dan put it: Homecoming King vs. the Valedictorian. Ian begins spouting off all kinds of science facts, ha! Finally, Shane makes a deal with Ian and lets him win.
With Ian in power, Dan decides to fly back to the Quack Pack. This week's target: Frank and Jenn. It's amazing what a difference only a couple days can make in the BB house.
Another surprise...another Pandora's Box! Lucky Ian. He chooses to take a bunch of Christmas presents. In his presents are a bunch of science experiments, legos, magic rocks, telescope, and an inflatable alligator. Ian is definitely like a little kid...he's so excited (isn't he a little old for those things).
The house's punishment...none other than Jesse dressed as Santa (or Mr. Pectacular, as he called himself)...in a speedo. When will this guy go away! He's like a bad penny, he keeps turning up. This season, he's there to be a grinch and take away all of their good, junk food.
Nominations: Frank and Jenn. Dan lives a little bit longer...he's starting to turn into Frank. Just a few days ago, he stabbed the Quack Pack in the back, and just like that, he's back in. Wow. Frank continues his run of being on the block EVERY WEEK that he is not HOH.
Episode 14.23
At this point, Frank thinks Dan and Danielle are with him and Jenn, so he thinks if either come off the block that they will have the votes. In a convo before the veto, Frank tells Dan he thinks it might be better if the nominations stay the same, so he might throw the comp to let Dan win. Frank thinks Dan could be the replacement nominee because his key was pulled last. But if Dan wins veto, he can't be put up. It must be great to live Dan's life, he just gets handed things without even asking!
In the HOH room, Dan shows he does still have a human side, by talking to Ian about his OCD. Dan said his brother-in-law also has OCD.
Frank and Dan talk about their plan again before the veto. Frank thinks Dan should use the veto on Jenn! What? Are you nuts? Dan can't believe it. He says Frank is making it even easier to stab him in the back. Frank wants to come off the block, but if Dan saves him, it outs their secret alliance.
Veto Competition: the famous Otev (veto spelled backwards); every season a version of Otev is played. Players must find answers to riddles, have the correct answer, and not be last to the platform. Each time, someone is eliminated.
Danielle is out first because she can't find Janelle's name. She actuslly almost took her own name up! Ha! Again, Ian throws the competition. If not for him throwing it, Frank would have been out. Somehow Jenn sticks around for a few rounds, and even beats out Joe, but eventually she goes down. Joe did better than usual, as he was trying to win so he can't go up as a replacement.
Frank and Dan battle it out for the win. Frank decides he better take fate into his own hands and not let Dan win. Dan knows he has to beat Frank to the platform, but he's not sure of the answer. So whichever name, Jojo or Ashley, that he finds first he's going with. It's a gamble, but he had to go for it, and it paid off. Dan is correct with Ashley and he wins the veto.
Dan meets with Ian to get Ian to talk himself into having Dan take either Jenn or Frank off the block. Another brilliant move by Dan. He really is a brain washer! No one even realizes that he is totally manipulating them. I hope you appreciate what you are watching folks, this guy truly is a master practicing his craft. He's stabbing everyone in the back, while not getting any blood on his hands. Pure devilish genious.
Veto meeting: as agreed with Ian, Frank and Jenn (just incredible) Dan uses the veto on Jenn. To everyone, this is just a simple gesture to repay the kindness back to Jenn. Joe is the only option as a replacement, so he joins Frank on the block.
Frank should be scared. He now has no protection. I shouldn't say it, but I don't see any way he saves himself this time. I think he just spent his 9 lives. It was an incredible run buddy! And the bad part is, hedoesn't see it coming. He still thinks he's safe. Not a good way to go down.
Episode 14.24
Double eviction...get ready for more chaos! We'll be down to the final 5.
Not only is it a double eviction, but it's deja vu for Frank. The last time he was on the block with Joe, he was out the door if not for the coaches re-entering the house. History will probably repeat itself.
One of the funniest moments of the season! Dan corners Joe to see who he would nominate if he won HOH. Joe, lies and says Shane and Danielle, while his real target is Dan. 30 minutes later, Dan crawls into the bed next to Joe. Joe says "Dan cornered me in here." Dan says "This is Dan". Oh snap! Later Shane comes in and Dan says "this is who you wanted to talk to." Shane turns on the lights and Joe's face is bright red. Dan now thinks that maybe Joe needs to go, because he caught him telling "Shane" about their conversation. Ian was right when he said the only person who could screw up the plan, while he's not even the target...is Joe!
The vote: Frank makes a very convincing final argument and Joe starts with another joke "I know I'm the biggest threat...in the kitchen."
Frank "the tank" finally rolls out of the BB house by a vote of 3-1. Quite the run you had my friend, well done. Barely any goodbyes to be given, just a hug to Jenn.
Live HOH: Guess which houseguest said what. It's all Jenn, Dan and Danielle, Joe and Shane suck! 3-way tie breaker, Dan wins! The come-back kid! Quick decision...who to nominate?
Nominations: Joe automatically takes a seat in the nomination chair. Dan does put up Joe, along with Ian. Ian? Interesting choice, not sure what his reasoning behind that is. Oh wait...he still wants Jenn to think they are working together.
Live Veto Competition: "Swimming with Sharks"-navigate a fin through a maze, first to finish, wins. This challenge looks like it's straight out of Survivor. Ian should be good at this. And there he goes...he wins!
Of course he will save himself, so who will be the replacement. I sure hope it's not Shane! I just don't know where Dan's true alliance is. Dan tries to talk with everyone quickly, but Julie calls them back. Dan doesn't come, so Julie says "Don't make me come in there." Ha! Another good one from Chenbot! Dan chooses Danielle as the replacement. Wow, that's pretty risky!
Live Vote/Eviction: with a vote of 3-0 the chef is gone. He really didn't stand a chance, which is what Dan wanted. Can I just say, I can't believe that they have allowed Jenn to just coast along to this point in the game. Final 5, are you kidding me? She BETTER be the next to go!!
