7/26/03 Late night.  Alison got a bit bold and told several people that she was going to be veto'd tommorow and also spent a long time trying to recruit Justin to her side.  Nathan and her got in a fight.  He said she was drunk and she denied it.  Justin then told Dana all about what Alison said.

9:10 pm Nate and Alison finally get to eat in the backyard. 8:20 pm Dinner will begin shortly, Alison said she ordered a huge seafood platter and hopes to have some left over for the others.

2 pm The 1st real Luxury Competition was won by Alison.  It involved being spun in a chair and then filling a glass with champagne.  Apparently Jack took a header and Jee ran into a wall.  Alison is treating Nathan to a dinner in the back yard later tonight.

10 am Hgs are pretty much still sleeping.  Jack and Erika and Dave had talked a little while still laying in bed.  The HGs think they might have a luxury competition today but I haven't seen any signs that this will happen.

1:40 pm Dana and Jun have a brief talk about Nate - they don't think he will use the POV - but if he does Dana says she will put up Dave.

Injury report - Post-POV Jun was hit in the eye with a ball and has a swollen right eye, Nathan was hit twice but seems ok, Alison hurt her leg somehow.

1:15 pm NATE wins POV.  If he holds to his promise from yesterday he will pretend he isn't going to use it and then save Alison in the meeting,  forcing Dana to put up someone else (anyone but Nate).  The challenge involved balls coming over the roof and they had to gather them up - the green ones seem to tbe the most important. 

12:15 pm Hgs got up - general conversation about the Veto, nominations, but nothing major - yet.  The only big surprise I can see is if Nathan wins the Veto.

Sneak peek of the set-up for the veto

1:30 am Late night espionage..... While Dana and her court (Justin said she could call them her knights) gloated and gosspied in the HoH room, Nathan and Alison were laughing and joking - and Alison decided to try to eavesdrop, as she said - what can they do - nominate her?  Here are a few images when she was almost caught by Jee on his way to the bathroom. 

Alison listens in several times - the last two images show Jee getting up to go to the bathroom, and Alison quickly standing and turning her back.  Jee noticed her but didn't say anything until he got back in the HoH - then he told Dana and Co & they all laughed.

Alison also found her stuffed elephant in the tub with a toaster.  I think Dave did it as he earlier held an electric razor to it's throat while she yelled for him not to do anything to it.  It's all in fun of course and Alison laughed when she saw it.  See Cam 4 below on the "Quad Cam" image capture.

Nathan has told Ali and only Ali that he wants to win the Veto tommorow and save Ali Sunday. He is telling everyone he doesnt want to win it - and if he does he won't use it.  Everyone but Ali.

Ali is acting like she has accepted her fate... Nathan is also trying to see about getting votes to evict Jack, but chances are slim.

Justin and Ali had a little calm session where each lied to the other about the fact that they had not said bad things about each other to the HGs. Justin also lied and said he was clueless about Dana nominating Alison.

6 pm Alison and Jack are nominated.  Last week Jee was the 'puppet' HoH and nominated Erika at Robert's urging, today Alison was nominated because Justin wanted her up.  Nathan has already told Alison that he hopes to fix it so Jack goes and she stays.

Erica and Alison after nominations.	Dana Plays cards after.	As does Justin.

3 pm NOW - it looks like Justin has talked her in to nominating Alison....  who knows......

Michelle getting ready for an interview during the Food Competition	Justin suggests nominating Alison.  He has been telling Dana lots of things Alison has said about her to turn her.	Dana gets mad at Big Brother for having the camera on her, sings to force the producers to change to the "FOTH"	Robert is upset, missing his daughter.  He was crying and some suggested maybe he needed to go home. He is better now.	Nap time before Nominations, Justin again getting close to Dana.

10 am - Hgs just finished their food competition and like last year, this week was a group challenge.  And like last year this week was kind of a "gimme" - they have more food than they can handle for the week.  They caught parachutes with food items on them in army helmets, and they also won Burger King for lunch for a week (a la Dunkin Donuts & Subway last year).

Dana was up almost all night talking to people, its not clear what she will do, she sees the reasons behind nominating different people, she did promise the women none of them would go up this week.  Justin has a lot of pull with her, so she might put up Jack, Dave, or Nathan.  She also was told she should put up Robert, Jee and or justin, so pretty much all guys are potential candidates.

6:40 pm Michelle voted out 6-2

2:30 pm - Farewell Michelle..... a few parting images since after today she will no longer be on the feeds.. <sniff>

Jack and Nathan are reviewing the food challenge ingredients in case they are tested on it.  Also things from the duck challenge... they are hoping this is what will be on the competition tonight.

Hgs had rehersal for the HoH competition tonight.  Now they are cleaning up, Jee moved out of the HoH room.  Jee, Robert and justin are already plotting the next person out, yet they keep assuming Erika will be gone.  Live show in 3 1/2 hours.

The back yard was locked last night - not sure if it will be open this am (pre-show-preparations).  At some point the Hgs will probably go outside and practice with Julie for the HoH competition.  They will then have a hint as to what is in store but no exact details.

2 pm The calm before the storm.  The voting is over and now the HGs are just waiting for the live show tommorow.  Cards & Sleeping & Sunning are the order of the day.

The Calm Before The Storm: (l-r) Justin tries to find out whats buggin Dana, Robert and Jee think all is well and take it easy, Jee unwinds in the HoH room, Nathin, Erika, Jack, and Michelle play spades to kill some time.

11:15 pm Dana confirms to Alison she voted to evict Michelle.  Alison re-affirms the fact that Jee & Co. said to put up Dana next week.

Dave informs Dana about the vote to evict Michelle	Dana takes it all in after agreeing to vote to evict Michelle.	Erika comes out and tells Dana she is safe next week.	Dave, Jee, Robert play cards, Robert laughs at Nathan & Ali outside, Dave laughs.  Earth to Rob, Dave is laughing at you, not with you.

10:30 am Jun confirms Dave's story to Dana - Dana goes outside and Erika talks to her.  She is on board with the plan but still upset since she knows she has no one to trust.  Dave an others have managed to cover the fact that they told Jee to put up Dana by saying they were testing the guys loyalty to her - and they failed because they said they would put her up next week.  Dana  is now in the Diary Room - either voting or crying about the developments.  Robert, not knowing why she is upset, is calling her weak for crying (to Jee/Justin).

10:00 am  Dave pulls Dana into the Desert room and tells her all about the vote to evict Michelle - she is shocked, but agrees to vote to evict her.  The vote now should be 6-2 to evict Michelle and Justin/Jee/Robert are clueless.  Lets see if Dana can keep the secret.

8:30 am Sorry for no updates - not much had happend last I saw in the house and I had personal stuff to do.  I am carching up myself and will have an update shortly.. (one thing - looks like the Jee-Jun alliance I guessed at on 7/18 is for real..)

late night - Jun says she is voting to evict Michelle - re-confirming her alliance with Nate, Ali, etc.

2:30 pm Robert and Justing discussed sharing the winnings if one of them (Jee, Justin, Robert) wins it all and the other two win nothing. The winner would give 50k to the other two... funny - i thought making deals was not allowed on Big Brother.

 7:50 am All the Hgs sleeping away... according to one of the faithful live feed posters over at tvclubhouse, Dana spoke with the 3 amigos (Jee, Justing, Robert) last night and revealed her new suspision (amazing how she finds new conspiracies every hour) that Michelle may be the one to go Wednesday.  Thankfully because Dana does suspect everyone of everything its seems the guys didn't buy it, but now the seed has been planted in their heads so if Michelle goes Wednesday they will not be as shocked as I had hoped.  Rats!!!

3:30pm Dave DID NOT use the Veto.  For once it was shown on the live feeds. Michelle should go Wednesday unless Jun changes her vote - which would make it a tie.  She seems to be the weak link.  if she votes to evict Erika then Jee will break the tie and I would assume Erika will go.
