Warning: This article contains spoilers. Do not read further if you don’t want to know what’s coming up on Tuesday’s episode.
Even though we expected the proverbial crap to hit the fan today, the day after Janelle, Ashlea, Kaysar and Howie promised to blow the game wide open, we haven't seen it. We have seen little glimpses, but the whole twist is still not out in the open, and some still don't know the whole scope of it.
Everyone goes about their day expecting the eviction and next Head of Household competition to be Tuesday night. All of them. Have none of them ever watched the show? How could they show the Power of Veto competition, the Power of Veto meeting, the vote, the eviction and Head of Household competition all in one show? What would be left for next Thursday?
Howie is continuing to snow everyone. I think he's a much more serious player than any of us would think watching him and his over-sexed persona. I think it's all a ruse so that he won't be taken seriously, and will sneak in under the radar. It also separates him by far from his partner, Rachel, who Eric and Maggie think is Howie's sister.
We aren't sure whether it's him playing the game or purely accidental, but Howie climbed into bed with Ashlea that night after their big plot to blow the twist wide open and somehow fondled her. She wakes up the next morning and is crying about it. Eric and Rachel are discussing the incident in the kitchen and Rachel plays it so cool, pretending to not know either way if Howie would be capable of doing something like that, but agreeing with Eric that he is probably harmless.
Eventually Howie apologizes to Ashlea and tells her he thought he was crawling into bed with Beau. Was he meaning to grope Beau? Ashlea joins Jennifer and Janelle and they question Howie if he is like this outside the house and if he gets in barfights all the time. He tells them "a Jedi never uses his powers for evil." Why does this future weatherman think he's a Jedi?
Even though Kaysar tried to shove the responsibility of "blowing this thing wide open" onto Janelle, he's the one to go to James and tell him that Janelle figured it out that Ivette and Beau know each other from outside the house. Kaysar wants James to go tell Eric, but James doesn't seem all that interested in doing that. Probably because he knows all the connections, just as Eric does.
Maggie is another one playing well and not giving any hints. As Ashlea lays in bed and pouts, while wearing sunglasses, she tells Maggie she thinks Eric is campaigning to get her out of there. She thinks he's threatening people to vote her out. Maggie just asks shocked, says she hasn't heard any of that, but thinks it's because maybe Eric knows she won't bend in who she's voting for. Janelle talks Ashlea out of confronting Eric as she doesn't want to look bad herself. Way to be a supportive friend, Janelle.
Howie is now admitting to not only having cheek implants, but having lip injections as well. And, of course, the minute the topic of conversation switches to plastic surgery, here comes April to join in. Howie then is wondering why his "panties" are sitting by the fridge. Eeewww. Why is a man referring to his undergarments as "panties?"
Sitting around with Michael later and strategizing, Kaysar is wondering why Eric didn't flip when he told him about Ivette and Beau knowing each other. Both Michael and Kaysar are starting to think there are more pairs other than themselves and Ivette and Beau and are figuring there are more people there are in pairs than not in pars, if not all of them.
Michael and Kaysar also talk about Eric giving them his word early in the game to stick together. They are figuring right now it's a load of crap. Michael compares him to the football player's dad on Jerry McGuire that shakes Tom Cruise's hand, refusing to sign a paper, saying his word is as good as oak, and later screws him.
All the housemates gather for a home-cooked meal, and say grace beforehand. That's nice to see.
Later, people return to strategizing. Eric and James aren't admitting to each other that they both know all the pairs in the game. Both seem to be trying to confuse the other. James tells Eric he thinks Maggie is with Kaysar and James tells Eric he thinks they should let Sarah stick around for awhile because she's so weak.
Beau is starting to make connections and noticing that everything in the house is like a puzzle. Everything is made of pieces that connect and make a big picture. Ding. Ding. Ding. Keep going Beau. Maggie thinks the same thing later.
Jennifer gets upset about Michael touching her, and Michael thinks she is misconstruing it. He claims he was just hugging her, yet Jennifer is still running around claiming sexual harassment. Michael thinks it's interesting that he gets blamed for sexual harassment for hugging Jennifer, but Howie gets away with grabbing someone's boob in bed. Good point. He's under the radar, though, Michael. You have to understand that. You're coming off as a strong player; he's not.
The house again turns to prayer as Ivette leads April, Sara and Jennifer in the Lord's Prayer, and then says it in Spanish after. April was asked if she was Catholic when she wanted to join in, and she said no, but she has attended a Catholic church. She is non-denominational. Only after that did Ivette let her join in.
Howie gets disgusting once again. He has found a pair of purple panties which he can see are dirty. He is demanding to know whose they are. When no one claims them, he smells them. Later Janelle walks in and admits they are hers. They are her "period" panties. I hope no one is eating right now.
Maggie and Eric are alone at night strategizing in the gold room. They are upset that James and Sarah keep following them around and won't let them talk. James has said he will get up with Maggie and Eric in the morning, most likely because he knows that's one of their private times to strategize. Maggie also admits to lying about her location. She is really from Las Vegas.
Howie winds up his evening being serious when he thinks no one is looking. While Kaysar, Michael and Janelle are playing chess, Howie goes down and stares at the pictures on the wall. Janelle asks what he's doing and he claims to be looking at the fishies. She tells him she knows he was looking at the picture, and he goes back to the over-sexed persona, and says he was thinking of stealing her key and sleeping with it. He's a player, and I mean of the game.
The game wasn't blown wide open as everyone had talked about. Many are still playing it cool, and smartly so. It will be interesting today to see what happens when they realize the eviction and Head of Household competition is not tonight. There has to be someone that doesn't keep his cool and screws up. The question is, who will it be?
