NO, NO NAKOMIS: COWBOY LASSOES VETO

NO, NO NAKOMIS: COWBOY LASSOES VETO
In the most unique BIG BROTHER Veto Ceremony of the summer, Cowboy holds all the power because he wins of the Golden Power of Veto. When he chooses to save Diane, he sends his own half-sister Nakomis packing and on her way to the jury.

HE WHO HOLDS THE VETO HOLDS THE POWER
It's down to the final four, so the Veto takes on more meaning than ever for the remaining HouseGuests. The only way to control their destiny is to win the Veto. Nakomis' credo is, "Go to sleep early, wake up, win the Veto." Diane doesn't want to win because if she does she has to break a promise to someone since she told both Nakomis and Drew she would take each of them to the end.

JULIE CHECKS IN ON FASHION AND FATHERS
Julie asks Diane how she felt about the new duds from the luxury competition, and she replies that she's thrilled and even asks Julie what she thinks of her outfit. Julie then asks Nakomis what would her father think of her and Cowboy getting this far, and Nakomis says he would be proud. She asks Cowboy what he would do with the money, and aside from having a better future for his family, he says he would like to open up a dude ranch for children.

KAREN JOINS THE JURY
Marvin and Will are having the time of their lives, and at the same time they are at their wits' end as they try to survive the onslaught of living side by side with the twins Adria and Natalie. "It's like Hell and paradise," says Will, noting that he and Marvin have remained completely secluded from the fitness twins. He, Marvin and Adria (Natalie is not feeling well) stand at the bottom of the stairs and wait for the next evictee to arrive. Marvin, who clearly can hold a grudge, says, "I hope it's Diane so I can stab her in the eye with a chicken bone." A slight tension fills the air, and....it's... Karen, who also is still smarting from being voted out of the House. The first words out of her mouth are, "Is there a backdoor I can go out?"

Marvin's ire knows no limits, and when he raises his glass in the now-traditional champagne toast and he says, "To the backstabbers, liars, cheaters and deceiver." Karen, of course, has the tapes to share with the others and Marvin is pleased to see Karen going out. Karen, finally able to draw, begins to sketch her fellow HouseGuests, but the portraits of both Cowboy and Diane are certainly less than flattering.

SOCKET TO ME
Drew calls to order the final Golden Power of Veto competition: "Socket To Me." Nothing could be more important for every one of the HouseGuests because the outcome will have huge implications as to who will make it to the final two. Each HouseGuest is seen pacing and prepping, prepping and pacing.

Drew is the first to go. He enters the backyard and finds 10 rows of light boxes with images of each HouseGuest. Beneath each HouseGuest are electrical sockets, and in the middle is a giant high voltage switching station. The goal of the game is to connect all of the Veto winners in order from first to last and then flip the switch. If they are in the correct order the light boxes light. Whoever completes the circuit in the shortest amount of time wins.
Drew goes first and seems to be rocking the competition, sprinting around the yard. But, just as he gets to the end, he finds he has not connected the plugs in the correct order. He flips the switch, and it buzzes that he's got it wrong. He moves some cords, tries again, still wrong. And again. And again. And again. Finally, he remembers that he won a Veto competition, and that closes the circuit. He flips the switch, and the boxes light.

Diane goes next and seems to be doing very well, but she too trips up on the week that Drew won. Cowboy is amped and ready to go. He's talking to himself and calling out names as he goes. When he makes a mistake, he chides himself and apologizes aloud. When he's plugging Karen in he says, "Karen, here I come." As he gets ready to flip the switch, he shouts out, "C'mon baby let's rock and roll." And boom--let there be light.

Nakomis is next and doesn't quite knock it out of the park the way she needed to. Drew reveals the times after everyone has had their turn, and his time of 14 minutes and 27 seconds gets nothing but laughs. Diane does admirably with her 4:14, while Cowboy crushes it with a final time of 2:13. Nakomis is a distant third with 6:13.

NAKOMIS GOES NUCLEAR
All the power now rests in Cowboy's hands. Nakomis pulls Cowboy outside to have a chat following the Veto competition. He tells her straight up that he, Drew and Diane have an agreement. She is floored, but tries to act like she wasn't surprised. She says to him that if he keeps her, she will take him to the final two. On the other hand, Drew will take Diane and Diane will take Drew. She tells him she promised Scott and Jase she would take him to the final two. She tells him blood is thicker than water. She tells him whatever she thinks he needs to hear.

Later on Cowboy leaves and Diane joins Nakomis who seems kind of sullen. After a bit, Cowboy rejoins them and then the waterworks begin. Nakomis feels that she has helped everyone in the House get to where they are now. Nakomis begins to yell and reaches a point of hysteria as Cowboy seeks to comfort her. An upset Diane goes into the House. Diane is convinced this performance will send her packing, though Drew does not believe this.

Just to be sure, Diane sits down with Cowboy the next day and tells him she would take him over Drew if it came down to it. Cowboy wants Diane to promise this, and when she does, they cement their promise with the most powerful bond in the BIG BROTHER House--the pinky swear
LIVE VETO CEREMONY
It's the final Veto Ceremony and a unique one in BIG BROTHER history as Nakomis and Diane sit on the block with Cowboy deciding their fate. As always they are both given an opportunity to plead their case. Diane goes first, and she recounts the ways in which she has saved Cowboy and kept him in this game over the past three weeks, and then alludes to a promise she made to him--that she would take him to the final two. Nakomis just tells Cowboy that their dad will ground him and that he knows who she is.

Cowboy then must make his decision and as he stands to use the Veto he reminds Nakomis that she had told him she would not put him on the block if she were HoH. That sealed the deal, and so Cowboy saves Diane, putting Nakomis out the door.

JULIE TALKS TO NAKOMIS
Amazingly good-spirited Nakomis sits down for a little Q&A with Julie. Nakomis is not surprised, as she was the fourth person in a three-person alliance. Julie reminds her that she came up with many great strategies; why is she out of the House? Ever wise beyond her years Nakomis says, "In society people who get all the credit end up riding on the backs of the people who get them there."

Nakomis tries to take the high ground saying that outside the House everybody is probably a pretty good person--but that the way to win seems to be lie, cheat and be deceitful, which is not the way she likes to be.

EARTHQUAKE
And now it's time for the final three-part Head Of Household competition. The winner of tonight's competition gets a pass to the third round. The two who finished second and third must then compete in the second round to see who goes on to the third round. The third round winner then gets to choose who will be with them as the final two. The competition has the three remaining HouseGuests standing on a platform holding on to their keys. They must hold on to the key with at least one hand. Everybody thinks it's going to be like the first endurance competition, but just as Julie announces that there is a twist, the platform starts shaking and the HouseGuests must hold on for dear life. It is a BIG BROTHER earthquake.

Who will be final HoH and guaranteed to be one of the final two? Find out at a special night and time on Friday at 8PM ET/PT. And don't miss the BIG BROTHER finale, when all 14 HouseGuests return and the seven-member jury crowns this year's winner on Tuesday, September 21 at 8PM ET/PT. :)()
