• Day 44: Big Brother plays Garbage's "Stupid Girl" over the intercoms after Jennifer nominates Kaysar as a replacement for Rachel.

Food Competition

• There was no Food Competition this week due to the extended Head of Household competition. All the houseguests had no food restrictions as a result.

Luxury Competition

• There was no Luxury Competition this week.

Veto Competition

• Coaster Throw
• Winner: Rachel
• Participants: Jennifer, April, Janelle, Kaysar, Rachel, Howie
• This competition was mimicked from the coast throwing game the houseguests devised in the living room. Each houseguest was given five supersized coasters, each with an evicted houseguest's face on it. Their goal was to throw it at a target a few feet away on the area that represented the week that houseguest was evicted.
• Results:
  • Jennifer - 1 point
  • April - 3 points
  • Janelle - 3 points
  • Kaysar - 3 points
  • Howie - 3 points
  • Rachel - 6 points

Head of Household Competition

• Who Did It?
• Winner: Janelle
• The houseguests were given questions asked by Julie Chen, and they had to turn a pentagonal wheel with four of the houseguests faces and a "NONE" block to indicate who did the event Julie mentions in the question.
• At the end of the last question, Beau, April, and Janelle were still in the game. The tiebreaker question was "How many lightbulbs did it take to spell 'Sold Out' in the luxury competition?," and Janelle had the closest answer without going over. Some controversy has sparked in that Janelle originally had 300 as her answer, but displayed it upside-down. Julie told her that her answer was upside-down, so Janelle took it, changed her answer to 275, and won. As the correct answer was 283, Janelle would have lost had she not changed her answer.

• Big Brother 6 seems to continue its slump after the first few very exciting weeks. Aside from Howie's tirade against April and Janelle's drunken antics, nothing much seems to be going on. It's clear that the alliances are set in stone and, aside from whatever Ivette decides to do, it may stay that way until the end. Only time will tell if this season rebounds from its disappointing early midgame. B- --Wizardryo 10:25, 20 Aug 2005 (PDT)
