A double eviction night started with the elimination of Mike Boogie in Big Brother 14 Episode 19. After that, Ian, who did so well keeping the secret until then, insisted on making an enemy out of Frank but failed to finish the job, instead getting stuck with eliminating Ashley after he won HOH.
Ian blames Britney for his nomations blowing up in his face. The problem with all of these guys is that they are playing Britney’s game, which is just screwing every last one of them over while she laughs her way to the bank.
Shane, having nominated Frank twice, evicted his closest ally, and destroyed the Silent Six alliance, is the first person Frank wants to talk to. Oh, sure, trust him and Britney again. This is the definition of insanity. Not having learned his lesson from what that went down last week, he still blames Dan for everything. Before the HOH competition, Britney makes a deal with Frank to keep him safe, which she doesn’t plan to honor, but it’s not like it matters because some other idiot will be getting the blood on their hands anyway.
The HOH competition has them using strings to raise balls and try to get them into the hole with the highest score. Danielle scores 8. Frank gets 5. Shane scores 17. Jenn scores 6. Joe scores 10. Britney gets 7. Dan tries to go for broke, and broke is what he gets, scoring a 1. These scores create the rankings for the head-to-head portion of the competition, and the lower the score they had in the first round, the more people they must beat. This is a double edged sword because they may have to beat more people, but it also gives them multiple opportunities to perfect the technique.
The head-to-head round has them competing to get their balls to the hole at the top first. Frank beats Dan. His next competitor is Jenn. Frank beats Jenn and moves on to go against Britney. With another easy win, Frank moves on to compete against Danielle. Once again, Frank wins and is now matched up against Joe. After another lopsided victory, Frank moves on to the final battle against Shane. Frank wins HOH.
Seeing as the entire house just tried to get him out, it would be safe to say that anybody could be his target, but Frank’s been hell bent on getting rid of Dan for weeks. To kick things off, he nominates Dan as the lone have not for the week.
Before we get to nominations, it’s time for pandora’s box. Frank is greeted with a lot of dollar signs. He decides to open it. Inside he does indeed have the opportunity to win some cash of varying denominations up to $10,000: $1.05, $7.11, and lastly $3333.33. So what’s the catch? A second veto will be unleashed into the house. They have to get 50 cents from the falling balls with which they will be able to use the crane to fetch a veto ball from the box in the arcade room. Dan fails then lies about it, saying he won so the others stop searching for a while. Ian fails. Britney snags the ball, gets oh so close, then loses it. Dan meets the same fate. Ian’s next attempt is successful, ensuring himself safety after his boneheaded moves last week.
With Ian having won this special veto, Frank says he might not nominate Dan right away. He asks about putting Ian up against Danielle, knowing that Ian will remove himself, allowing Dan to be backdoored and forcing Ian to use the veto on himself rather than using it to remove Dan. Ian looks at Britney. Apparently, he is incapable of coming up with an answer on his own.
Britney does not like this plan to force Ian to waste his veto. She’d much rather have two vetos in play on their side, thereby saving the entire alliance and making Frank waste his week by eliminating someone like Joe or Jenn.
