Big Brother 4, July 26 Live Feed Highlights: Alcohol and Strategy Don’t Mix

Saturday morning, Jack and Erika are up first, as usual. Not much discussion, but Jack has to "work on the pool." (Don't they hire folks for that?) Erika confirms the top four of the POV competition were Nate/Ali/Justin/Dana. They are convinced this will come up at an HOH competition.

Robert has body aches and thinks he may have the flu. Dave puts on an impromptu shower show for Alison/Erika/Jun, leading to an inevitable ending. He really shows his stuff! (Ahem) Erika may have broken the 50-yard dash world record running out of the bathroom!

They have a luxury competition with a gourmet dinner for two (the winner and the other HouseGuest of their choice) on the line! They have to fill champagne past a point in a beaker, endure a spin-o-matic and some sort of obstacle course. Sounds nuts, but Alison wins! She chooses Nathan as her dinner mate. Jack apparently falls and scrapes his face. The HouseGuests get to drink the leftover champagne and on comes the controversy!

Ali and Nathan roll around in bed. Remember both of them claiming it was aalllll strategy with each other? What part of the game is this? (At one point, live feed watchers reported that a camera in the room panned from Dana’s photo of her and her boyfriend over to her and Nathan in bed. Props to the cameraman.)

Dana and Jun in the HOH room. Queen Dana snarls "The Girl" better not mess with her. She also worries if her camp doesn't win HOH next time, she and Jun could be put up.

Dana heads to Nathan's room and asks where Alison is. (She’s under the sheet, where she proclaims she has been "sucked in by Nathan's crotch”). That's too low-brow for even Dana and she splits. Eventually, blissfully, Alison passes out. Jee is passed out on a lawn chair, in the sun!

Jack has to explain Survivor to Robert. Jeez. Justin asks for quality cuddle time with Dana, who gets all twittery.

Outside, they all (minus Nate/Ali) decide to throw Jee in the pool while he's passed out on the lawn chaise! Jee wakes up in the nick of time. They all laugh. Good times. Dave goes to report this to Ali/Nate. Dave hopes Jee falls asleep again (Dave has quite a mean streak!). Jee DOES fall asleep again, they go for it a second time, all while Dana is blabbing they should get him to deeper water so he doesn't get hurt, again Jee wakes up just in time and runs into the house. Dana said she got chewed out over it in the Diary Room. For screwing it up!

Alison wants to cut Jack's hair. Jack says she is a bit "unfocused" at the moment, he'll pass. Nate says to Jack that he is dreading getting wine with dinner. The last thing he and Ali need!

Dave/Jack/Robert/Justin/Jun make fun of how dirty Dana's frog slippers are. Later, Nate (still drunk) listens to Jun's assertions of her bedroom skills. Nate asks how many men she's been with. "One," she lies (that would be Jee only, and that would be sad), oh come on, says Nate. Jun says she's not telling... til the wrap party. Alison has awakened, with "the worst hangover ever." Jun and Dana loan Alison some clothes for her "date" with Nathan. They also start calling her "Amy." In the HOH room, Jack asks Dana what a DNA expert might find in those sheets.

While Alison is in the shower, Dave throws water on the door (to clear off the steam); guess it's her turn for a show! Alison swears she will "not forget this." Doubt Dave will either! Jee has awakened and has vague memories of his almost-dunking. He says he remembers seeing Jack. Jack deadpans he would never be involved in anything like that. Jun jokes that Jack should chaperone Alison and Nate's "date."

Jee is getting annoyed about how no one will fess up to the attempted dunking (this is becoming Jee-gate!). Dana only says she wouldn't let him get hurt. Everyone else feigns innocence. Nate asks Jun to give him some foundation, he is sunburnt pretty badly. Jun takes the opportunity to flirt, making Nathan admit she is pretty, even if he isn't into Asians. Then she whines in the Asian mom voice, "my little boy going on date with that slut!"

Meanwhile, Erika is doing Alison's make-up in the bathroom. Dana makes a production out of not loaning Alison her skirt. Jun accuses Nathan of going out with his "mistress." Ali and Nate have their date, and blow off sharing the leftovers with the HouseGuests. There is more drinking inside and Alison and Jun head for total obliteration. Jun has to be warned by Big Brother not to "embarrass herself" (this is after she has been crawling on the ground by Nathan! Nate pushed her away and she called him gay!). Justin says Jun calls everyone who rebuffs her gay. Don't worry about it. Nathan still simmers.

Alison asks Nate if he likes to "give or receive" (they will be SO cut off from alcohol after this!). Lots of drunken silliness ensues, as the guys seem a bit repulsed by the drunken women. Alison gets a few digs in on Dana, but Dana seems too drunk to notice.

Somewhere in all of this drunken debauchery, Justin dripped hot candle wax onto Alison’s breasts (she was a willing participant, and she apparently had a swimsuit or something on), and some live feed viewers reported seeing Alison in bed with Dave, though what they were doing was not quite clear – however, it wasn’t sleeping.

Earlier, Nathan specifically told Alison, “I am getting your ass off the block.” But when she is drunk, Alison tells Justin that she would be sticking around. Justin, of course, tells Dana, and both are pissed off. In the meantime, Nathan tells Erika and Jack that he might not use the veto because Alison is a loose cannon.

Later that night, Nate and Alison have some sort of fight with him telling her she doesn’t have class (apparently related to her drunken behavior). They have a back and forth, "I might not use the veto," "fine, so don't!" type of argument. She cries. He says okay, I'll veto you. Sheesh. Then they make out.

Mind you, that same evening, Dana swears to Nathan she hasn't made out with Justin. Has he made out with Alison? "No." (Obvious lie.) Dana is worried about what Julie Chen will ask her on Wednesday’s live show.
