I'll just copy in the recap from CBS:
DECEPTION, LIES & BROKEN TIES:
CAPPY NOMINATES MICHAEL & JANELLE
Alliance architect
Eric wins HoH in an aptly themed game of true and false. As the next round of nominations loom, will Eric remain true to his early alliances? Or will he prove false to his bonded bros and throw them to the mercy of the vote? Ultimately, Eric reneges on his early promise of protection and nominates
Michael and
Janelle to face eviction.
BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.
Reactions to
Ashlea's departure include
Sarah's wistful farewell to the innocent days of the BIG BROTHER house, and Eric's "See ya, don't let the door hit your butt on the way out."
Last episode's HoH competition came down to two finalists, Eric and Janelle. Victor Eric sums up his opponent: "Out of everybody…it had to be Janelle, who I have absolutely no use for at all!" But according to Michael, Eric's victory tears are of relief, because fearless leader Eric ain't so brave when it comes to brainy bombshell Janelle.
Kaysar voices his mistrust of their new HoH, and Janelle cements the sentiment with, "I wasn't excited at all when he won. In fact, I felt like throwing up in the pool."
A weeper Eric might be, but it turns out he and
James have been pulling double duty on the strategy front. The pair planned the decoy second vote to turn their housemates against Michael. Janelle and Kaysar wonder who cast the other vote against Kaysar, but are left guessing.
Cappy heads to claim the HoH Room and his treats, which include energy drinks, low-carb beers and family pictures. With tears in his eyes, Eric shares a public hug with an equally tearful
Maggie, setting off James' suspicions. Janelle has ceased to be snowballed by Eric as she snipes, "Eric's always crying. I swear to god he's an actor. He's crying every fricken five minutes! He cries at the drop of a hat!"
WET & WILD SUMMER
Ivette gets creative, delving into her childhood memories for some summer fun. "Ivette's super-slide was made of trash bags," Janelle smirks, adding that the "ghetto thing that she made" might be Ivette's style, but not hers. The others have a blast with the wet and wild fun in the sun, with Beau pronouncing the slide "quite fabulous!"
After
April continues her hatchet job on Michael's unwanted advances towards some of the girls, Michael cops a verbal beating from decorum-defender Eric.
Jennifer remarks, "It just shows how hypocritical everyone is, that you say something, but then Eric says it and it's fine." Eric throws fuel on the fire, saying Michael's behavior borders on harassment, leaving Michael to snarl, "Eric has failed to realize that I am not his employee."
Smart and sharp, Janelle is the queen of her chess game, and the boys are her pawns. If only life in the house were as clear-cut as on the checkered board, then we would have a winner in this Florida babe.
The tone of the house changes with a conversation about the Iraq war. James argues his viewpoint, which differs drastically from Eric's. It is up to Kaysar to remind them both that in war, people die regardless of their beliefs, teachings or political leanings. It is enough to bring the two pups into a humbled silence.
A BIG BEAU ON TOP
Beau decides to amuse himself with a sleeping Kaysar. Crawling on top of him, he playfully teases his housemate, who declares soon after, "I am not homophobic, but recently he's getting a little aggressive!"
FOUL FOOD HOEDOWN
When it comes to chowing down and blowing chunks, these HouseGuests excel. First to feast were
Howie and James, pitifully puking their ice-clam sundaes into nearby buckets. Not alone in their foul-food failure,
Rachel and April timed out, while Ivette and Sarah wimped out woefully. Janelle and Beau stand up to the beating of their pepper-only pizza, even though she "was blowing chunks everywhere." Michael and Kaysar make short work of their Tuna Malt, while vegetarian Maggie leaves partner Jen to conquer their chocolate-covered snakes solo. In the bonus round for wine and beer, Michael and Janelle volunteer. Eric pulls rank, bumping Janelle to down the sandwiches and wins the booze. Of Eric, Janelle complains, "He's such a spotlight stealer! I hate him."
MISDIRECTIONS AND MISDEMEANORS
Sarah confides in Maggie that she doesn't want to follow Eric's directive to lie to Michael about her vote. Maggie tells Eric that Sarah thinks he's "not being honest" over Michael's nomination. Eric shrugs, as he knows Sarah is in league with James and that "James is trying to manipulate everybody." The pre-nomination plotting begins as Cappy interviews his housemates individually. Revealing to his clique that he is planning on evicting Michael, he tells Michael to look him in the eye and trust him when he says he doesn't know who he's putting up for eviction yet.
ET TU, CAPPY?
Last-minute jitters are obvious as the HouseGuests ponder their futures. Cappy calls for the Nomination Ceremony, and the HouseGuests learn their fate: Michael and Janelle are nominated. Eric admits he underestimated Janelle, and that he put Michael up because he's such a strong player. Janelle says she's a fighter and will not sit and play witch to Eric, while Michael promises to take out all of Eric's sheep together.
Is this the end for Michael or Janelle? Who will win the PoV, which can change everything? Don't miss the next nerve-wracking episode of BIG BROTHER 6 on Tuesday, July 19, ET/PT, only on CBS.
