Day 38:
~diary room~
Con-Man: Okies, now that I am the smart one in the house, it's time for me to get rid of another meanie! I don't know who yet, but when I do… I"LL TELL YOU!
Nooks: I still can't believe that someone screwed over my Alliance! After all the work I did, some two-bit twat from the sticks messes everything up! I will avenge you Jess… and you can take that to the bank!
Megan: Do I feel a little guilty about voting for Jess instead of Johnny? A bit. But if I went with the Alliance's plan, there was no way I could win the game. Now, I have a chance.
Tommy: Would someone please explain to me just what the BEEP happened last night? Two people flipped their votes. I want to know who did, why they did it, and just who the BEEP told them to do it in the first place! My guess is that Bella got to Megan and possibly Chris. It had to be her, right? I mean, no one else is smart enough to pull off a move like that.
Jeff: *sitting on Tom's lap* I agree.
…
For the first time in days, there was silence at the breakfast table. No one said a word to anyone else; not even a "pass the corn flakes". After the dishes were "washed" (thrown into the sink), the Alliance trio of Jeff, Tommy, and Nooks retreated to the HOH room to talk.
"Shall I begin by stating the obvious: just what the fuck happened last night?" Tom paced the floor, occasionally looking at one of the spy screens.
Nooks bit her lower lip nervously. "Tom, if I knew that, we'd be back on track! Somebody flipped Megan or Chris…"
"…probably both…" Tom interjected
"…and we're now fucked!"
"I think it was Bella." Jeff repeated Tom's diary room proclamation. "I mean who else could have done it… Connor?"
Nooks looked at Tommy and broke out laughing.
"I was being serious." Jeff pouted
"I know, sweetie. I'm sorry. But the thought of Connor making a power move…? C'mon." Nooks wiped tears of laughter from her eyes.
Tommy chuckled. "Sorry, Jeff, but it does seem a little…"
"I AM SO SMART… I AM SO SMART… I AM SO SMART… S-M-R-T…" Connor walked by the HOH doorway, singing obnoxiously loud.
The conversation in the room stopped immediately. Tommy looked at Jeff and Nooks, both of whom shrugged.
"I'll be Goddamned!" Tom whispered, and then tiptoed to the door. "Jeff and I will leave this to you."
Tom opened the door. "Hey, smart-guy… what's up?"
Connor stopped in mid-line and stared at Tom. "Meanie! I AM SO SMART…"
"We know… care to tell us why you're so smart?"
Connor shook his head back and forth quickly. "Nu."
"Why not?"
"Coz you're stupid!" Connor gave him a raspberry.
"Ok… is Nooks stupid?" Tom asked "She also wants to talk to you."
"Uhm…" Connor chewed on his hair while he thought. "Okies, but you have to go. No stupid people allowed."
Tom chuckled. "You're the boss. C'mon Jeff, let's chill in the hot tub."
…
Tom and Jeff stepped out of the room and Connor walked in. Much as the lovers would've liked to eavesdrop, it was probably good to be out-of-the-way when the shit hit the fan.
Connor walked in and got a face full of pillow, courtesy of a very angry Nooks.
Nooks slammed the door shut and brutally started beating Connor with the pillow. He started crying.
"Why are you being a meanie?" Connor cried out. Nooks threw the pillow on the bed.
"Because you turned Chris and Megan, didn't you?!" Nooks shouted
"Yes because I so smart! I so smart I made big move. It's time for Con-man to move on and out!" Connor was so proud of his plan.
"Connor, you promised me you wouldn't do anything without me. So why didn't you tell me? I'm trying to get us to bottom two so we can win lots of dollar signs."
"But it's so boring listening to Tommy and Jeff. I made different move by myself, because I so smart!" Connor was obviously so proud of himself.
"Yes Connor, what you did was pretty smart but listen, if you want dollar signs you need to listen to me. And we need to plan things out. Together. Me and you right?" Nooks asked.
"Oh okay! Next time I'll tell you." Connor said. "But I so smart!"
Nooks sighed, hoping this would help her more. "Yes. Yes you are but next time, I'll kick your ass if you don't listen. Got it?" Nooks gave him a stern look that made Connor gulp and nod.
…
In the hot tub, Jeff and Tom joined Johnny, but another awkward minute of silence followed. Eventually, Tom had enough.
"Can we please revert to some form of civility and stop walking on eggshells around each other." He made sure that no one else was around before continuing. "I know you had nothing to do with Jess leaving, so can we cut the macho shit now?"
Johnny still looked nervous. "You wanted to stab me in the back last night… why should I even talk to you?"
"Because I am ninety percent sure that Connor flipped Megan and Chris." Tom stated
"You'll forgive me if I don't do somersaults now." Johnny did believe what Tom said, but a little squirming never hurt anyone.
"Tommy wouldn't lie… would you?" Jeff cuddled beside him.
"Maybe I should be talking to Connor, since apparently he's the new brains of the house?" Johnny sneered
"And you really think that will do anything?" Tom answered "After last night's eviction… he's got the game in the bag if he makes the finals."
"So what's the offer?"
"Final four with me, Jeff, and Nooks. After that, every man for him or herself."
"No more backstabbing… I mean if I do this, we're in it to the end, right?"
"You have my word."
John snorted "Let me think about it."
…
~diary room~
Bella: … Last night was pure genius and I didn't have to do a thing… why I didn't think of this sooner I dunno. Get Connor to do all the dirty work, piss off the house, and I ride him all the way to the end. It's perfect! Now who's the smart one, biz-natches!
Johnny: The only thing Tom got right is that if Connor makes the final two, he's got the game. I'll join his little alliance… until we get rid of Connor, and then screw you and the horse you rode in on. You got me once… I'm not giving you a second chance.

"House Guests… it is now time for the weekly Head of Household competition. Please gather in the backyard." The robotic Big Brother's voice said over the intercom. Once everyone arrived, they saw a big pool of honey with a rolling pin over it that you had to crawl under to get to a 'pie' that had blue balloons in it
"House guests, Welcome to big brother's baking competition! In this competition you have to dive into the honey, crawl under the rolling pin to the blueberry pie. Once there you must jump into the whipped cream topping and search for the blueberries to pop. Each blueberry contains a letter. You my only bring one letter back at a time. The person who spells the longest word, wins." Big brother robot explained. "Houseguests, are you ready?"
"Yes!" was shouted all at once.
"Okay, on your mark, get ready, GO!" The robot shouted and all at once all the contestants ran. Jeff was the first to hit the honey. What him and the rest of the house guesst found out was the honey was thick and sticky and hard to move around in. As the contestants tried to move towards the pie, Connor ended up next to Nooks.
"Nooksy, I don't know how to spell." Connor confided to Nooks.
"Sweetie," Nooks tried to crawl throw the honey, "Do you know how to spell your name?"
"C-O-N-N-O-R, Mommy taught me how before she died!" Connor expressed happily.
"Good baby, try and spell your name then!" Nooks said as she pushed her way through.
"Okay! Thank you Nooksy!" Connor push through faster than anyone else and was the first one to get to the blueberries. He kept muttering under his breath how to spell his name.
"C-o-n-n-o-r, that's my name. C-o-n-n-o-r that's my name! Hoorah! C-o-n-n-o-r, that's my name. C-o-n-n-o-r that's my name! Hoorah!" He kept repeating the same sentence over and over.
It was over thirty minutes and the contestants were still getting their letters in order on their board, which was covered so no cheating was allowed. The honey was the worst part. Connor lost his shoes in the honey but he was pretty much the fastest one besides Jeff who was a close second. So it wasn't a surprise when Connor was the first one to finish. Next was Jeff, followed by Tom than Nooks, than Megan, Bella, Chris and finally Johnny who took an addition twenty minutes after Chris looking for a certain letter.
"Okay, are we ready to reveal what we spelled?" Big brother asked. All the houseguests chanted 'yes'.
"Connor, please reveal what you spelled."
Connor opened his box to reveal that he spelled 'Connor.'
"Okay, six letters is to beat.
Next was Jeff who spelled, 'Draco.'
"Sorry Jeff, Draco is five letters long. You did not beat Connor. Tom, please show what you spelled." Tom spelt 'Salmon.'
Six letters again.
Next was Nooks who spelled, 'because'.
"In the lead is Nooks with seven letters. Megan, please revealed what you spelled."
'Killer'
"Six letters isn't enough. Bella, please reveal your word."
'Delivery'
"Bella is in the lead with eight letters. Chris, lets see if you can beat Bella and take the lead"
Chris revealed his word, 'Shower'
"Six letters, that isn't enough. Johnny please reveal your word."
'PotRoast.'
"I'm sorry Johnny, but Pot Roast is two words not one. Bella you have won HOH. Congratulations! Nooks, please hand over the HOH room key." Nooks took her key off and tossed it to Bella.
Bella did a little dance in the middle of the backyard.
Nooks was not in the mood for her stupid celebrations, unless she fell on her butt, so she went back into the house to clean up. Everyone else followed.
"Hey, good job, Connor. You did great." Jeff complemented Connor.
"Thank you! So did you! I thought you were gonna beat me." Connor smiled. Bella was still celebrating but no one was paying attention. Chris watched as disappointment and embarrassment crossed Johnny's face.
"Hey, I thought it was one word too." Chris sent a smile towards Johnny before going inside the house.
Johnny blinked twice. Did Chris just give me a compliment? What the hell? He followed Chris inside.
Chris was already in the bathroom, trying to get the honey out of his hair. Johnny stopped by his room for his de-tangler, then headed for the bathroom. The door was ajar, and John gently tapped on it.
"Yo?"
"I got something that might help." Johnny stepped inside and closed the door behind him.
"Really?" Chris was staring at the muck that was his hair. "I may end up cutting the whole thing off."
"Nah, dude, try this." Johnny handed over the bottle.
"Serious... I mean, you hoard your beauty stuff.. what do you want?"
John smirked. "Two things... how about a mini-alliance? We can work with Nooks and Jeff until the final four, but then we take them out."
Chris nodded. "What's the second thing."
Johnny grinned sexily. "You."
Next time on Big Brother: Who will Bella nominate for eviction and what will happen with Johnny and Chris? Will anyone be able to get the honey out of their hair? Will Big Brother ever not sound like a robot? Tune in tomorrow night to find out on Big Brother 13.
