Big Brother 6, July 23 Live Feeds - Chess Moves and Treasure Hunts

Good Morning Houseguests!

Eric is up first, and starts by doing the dishes and brewing coffee. He then starts washing clothes. Howie and Rachel get up, and talk to Eric about the giant chess knight. Eric notes it's the only ability which can jump over other pieces. They find they are in indoor lockdown.

Rachel fixes herself up in the bathroom, and goes to the kitchen to find the bread was left out overnight. She complains about the ants and flies. She makes herself a slice of sugar bread. Eric tells her how James claims he won Veto last week for him, where Eric says he won it for “us.” He also thinks if things stay the same, Maggie will be safe – James will be out in a landslide.

It should be noted that the cameramen keep going back to the black knight chess piece during the conversation.

Eric and Rachel go to the workout room and start using the equipment. They don't talk until Rachel finishes using the treadmill, then asks him if he wants to use it. When he says no, she wipes it down. Eric finishes working out as well.

James and Sarah wake up, and go for coffee. Eric tells them it should be an interesting day. Eric goes off to shower, and Sarah complains about the ants. Maggie gets up and goes to the kitchen counter, looking awful. Jennifer asks if anybody wants to trade ovaries with her. Most houseguests find something to eat, but Kaysar enjoys his spy camera and eats from his personal HoH goodie bag.

Eric starts explaining to Jennifer how menstruation works, and about the rhythm method of birth control. Ivette explains that women can get pregnant when menstruating, and Eric joins in. The discussion becomes a poll by Eric of the women, and asks them if they are more sexually active before their period. Jennifer says her periods last three days. Eric says she's his type of girl.

Maggie talks to Ivette about the upcoming Veto competition, with Maggie urging her to win it. She's worried about Rachel winning it. Ivette tells Maggie she was sure Ashlea was going, and sure that Michael was going. She's just as sure that James is going.

Maggie goes off to confront Kaysar about her nomination. The nomination speech indicates she was a good player, and she doesn't understand it. She's also shocked she didn't have any advance warning. She wonders if he has something going with Rachel. She also tells him people are telling her not to use Veto, and she is just a pawn. She doesn't believe in pawns. Kaysar tells her she isn't the person he wants out, and that she has five votes to stay. She tells him she doesn't like being blindsided. Kaysar says her nomination isn't personal, and it will all make sense later. Maggie says she feels better after talking to him.

The houseguests spend time getting ready for the Veto competition. The feeds go to fish tanks, and when they come back James is wearing the Veto medallion around his neck

Eric isn't happy, and starts yelling at Sarah. Janelle starts quizzing April if she knew Jennnifer. April denies it. Eric tells Sarah he found out James is her boyfriend.

In the HoH room, Sarah, James, Kaysar, and Janelle watch the action on the spy camera and talk about how Beau and Ivette still are denying their connection.

Eric wonders how three people could get the upper hand on nine, and compares the situation to Texas Hold 'Em – a losing hand. Beau complains they are backstabbing them, and Ivette wonders why evil wins. Meanwhile Kaysar compare them to a bunch of bullies.

April still denies she's part of any twist, but tells Beau and Ivette that Janelle admitted to her that she and Ashlea were best friends. Eric tries to get April to admit to her partnership. Eric tries to out Ivette and Beau, but Ivette denies it. Eric goes back to the Veto competition and thinks he's going to be put up – a fix by Kaysar that has been in place for two weeks. Beau says he was slapped in the face by the competition as well. The claim is that Janelle threw the Veto competition and let James win.

Maggie tells Beau and Ivette she's prepared to go home and come to the wrap party. She says everybody will lose their partner in a numbers game. Ivette starts crying and saying that she's shattered by events.

She goes off and talks to James, Sarah, and April. Ivette tells James he's plotting behind her back. James claims he was honest, but Ivette doubts it. Sarah claims Eric lied about James being safe.

Maggie starts crying, and Eric tries to comfort her. They finally tell Ivette they are a pair. Ivette goes off any cries in the storage room with April, who still denies being a pair with anybody. She tells her about Eric and Maggie being friends. April goes off and talks to Rachel, and asks if she and Howie knew each other. She denies she's his sister, but finally concedes she knew him. Meanwhile, Sarah goes in and tells Ivette that James is her boyfriend.

It goes on around the house until finally everybody gathers in the living room. All pairs and their connections are revealed in a big question and answer session, though some are still trying to conceal their relationship (April does say that her and Jennifer were in the same sorority, but denies knowing her, while Beau and Ivette keep quiet). Maggie asks that they give a round of applause for the producers, and everybody does.
