DIANE DUMPED: DREW ROCKS THE HOUSE
It was a night filled with emotion and consequences as Drew was forced to choose between his girlfriend and his best friend. As Drew turns to both of them, he says that one of them will be shocked by the decision. He then looks at Diane and begins to explain how some of the things she said to him the night before alarmed him and that he has chosen to evict her. She is stunned and begins to cry as she heads for the door. A few hugs later, it's just Drew and Cowboy as the final two left in the BIG BROTHER 5 House.
COWBOY TWISTS THE TWOSOMES
Drew wins part one of the three-part Head Of Household competition by outlasting Diane and Cowboy in the shake, rattle and roll game, "Earthquake." This leaves Diane and Cowboy to duke it out in part two of the final HoH competition--"The Twisted Twosomes"--and Cowboy wins it handily. Diane then must sit on the sidelines while Cowboy and Drew duke it out in the last round to see who will be the final HoH.
EARTHQUAKE
Part one of the final HoH competition starts out simply enough: HouseGuests stand on a platform and hold onto a key. But, then the fun starts as the platform starts to move and vibrate, simulating an earthquake in the upper reaches of the Richter scale forcing the HouseGuests to hold on for dear life and keep balanced. As they shake, Diane finds her hair falling forward into her face and desperately tries to rectify that situation. First, she turns to Drew, and his response is, "What do you want me to do?" Then, she turns to Cowboy and he offers to aid her. But, when he does, he removes his hand...and loses the game!
Diane and Drew remain on the platform and debate what they are going to do. They had talked of Drew losing the game on purpose. That was essentially their plan, leaving Diane to be the one to pull them through to the end. But, every time Drew thinks of throwing the game Cowboy emerges from the House. Diane playfully says, " I am the Queen of Endurance. Nobody can beat me." But, as the platform begins to shake anew she falls off, and Drew wins part one HoH and gets a free pass to the final competition.
THE LOVEBIRDS STRATEGIZE
As Cowboy ducks out of the living room, Diane lays down the ground rules for when they can talk safely--namely when Cowboy is being interviewed and when Cowboy is in the shower. These are the only safe times. Drew, however, is not so sure he can trust Diane. He thinks she may have thrown the competition. Diane tells him she can feel his negative Karma. She is concerned. Cowboy walks up to Drew and tells him he's sorry he did not win since that was the plan. It seems as if Drew is covered either way, whether it be Diane or Cowboy--he may just go all the way.
THE TWISTED TWOSOMES
Project DNA (Do Not Assume) resurfaces with part two of the three-part HoH competition--the "Twisted Twosome." Arranged in the backyard are two giant strands of DNA--each with 8 bars, and on each of the 8 bars is a statement. Additionally, there are a series of the HouseGuests faces in circles hanging on a board. The goal of the game is to match the faces of two HouseGuests to the correct statement on each of the bars by sliding the faces of the HouseGuests onto the bar and then checking if they are correct by standing on a square in front the of the DNA strands. If they are correct, it dings. If they are incorrect, it buzzes.
Diane gets off to an amazing start, answering the first two questions with ease while Cowboy struggles. But, then Diane gets stuck....stuck on a question about who was in the morphed picture with the twins. She tries again, again and again and as frustration sets in she hears that Cowboy is beginning to blow right by her. Once he gets the morphed question right, it's all downhill, and he cruises right past Diane and into the winner's circle, clinching part two of the final HoH competition.
Diane is bummed to lose, and even more bummed to lose to Cowboy. Cowboy is so excited he jumps up into Drew's arms, wraps his legs around him and adds, "We rock." Diane has a little bit of a meltdown feeling like she has let Drew down. Cowboy also lets Drew know he'd really like to win HoH--setting the stage for Drew to possibly throw the competition and force Cowboy to be the one to choose who will go on to the final two.
JULIE SAYS WHAT'S UP
Julie greets the HouseGuests and wants to know whom they'll miss the most, and whom they most want to see. Drew says he misses Savage (Scott) and is fearful of Marvin and Karen. Cowboy misses everybody but wants to see them all. And, Diane misses her boy Will and her girl Lori, but thinks Holly probably wouldn't be that psyched to see her.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Catching up with our favorite former BIG BROTHER 5 HouseGuests, we learn life is pretty much the same for many and for others it's changed forever. Mike, the first to be evicted says life in East Point, Michigan is still pretty much the same. Lori is still happy she took the $10,000 during the first food competition and has no regrets. Scott says that Jase's goodbye still kind of shocks him and that they don't speak. He lets America know that he is recognized everywhere he goes. Jase and Holly are still going strong, and Jase says that his life is better than ever. Appearing with lipstick kisses all over his neck, he says that he gets recognized everywhere, as does Holly, and that they are doing awesome.
ENCORE PRESENTATION
With a very nervous Diane looking on, Cowboy and Drew settle in to play "Encore Presentation"--the third and final part of the three-part HoH competition. Julie reads Drew and Cowboy a series of incomplete sentences that had been posed to the six jury members. She then offers Drew and Cowby two possible endings. They must choose which ending is correct. Drew dominates and is crowned the final HoH, faced with having to decide who to evict and who to take with him to the end.
YOUR GIRL OR YOUR BOY
Drew, welling up with tears, is forced to choose between his girlfriend and his fellow horseman, and he refers to a conversation he had with Diane when she told him the votes she would get. Fearing she could beat him in the end, he shocks her and tosses her out. She begins to cry before she even reaches the door and is truly stunned. She can barely speak as she exits but manages a goodbye hug and tells Drew she will see him outside the House.
Drew and Cowboy hug and they both begin crying as well. It's a crying free-for-all.
A BITTER GOODBYE
Filled with sadness, Diane sits down with Julie and tries to sort through what happened. Julie asks about "the conversation" that Drew mentioned, and Diane says she's not quite sure what that's about, but she knows Drew is smart and thinks he knows what he is doing. She tells Julie she is confident they will have a relationship outside the House because they don't live too far away from each other and they want to do the same things.
Her tune seems slightly altered after viewing the goodbyes. She watches Drew's taped message, and when Julie inquires what she thinks of it she says, "I could have gotten a better goodbye message from Drew," adding, "He lied to me at the end of the show. I've got a huge decision in front of me."
As Julie goes back inside the House, Drew recounts what a difficult decision he'd just made. He had made promises to both of them, but he stayed true to his word with Cowboy. Julie asks Michael whom he is most concerned about on the jury and he quickly says, "My sister," then adds, "or Diane."
Who will the Jury of seven crown as the champion? Will Diane's eviction influence the votes and swing it Cowboy's way, or will Drew's honesty in keeping Cowboy around ensure he is crowned the winner? Find out Tuesday at 8PM on the Finale of BIG BROTHER 5.
