A/N: Finally, another episode of Total Drama Big Brother. Now, I have to state something regarding character development. Some players in Big Brother are just floaters for the game and are just there really. Doesn't mean they aren't special in their own way, but I can't give everyone significance in one chapter. I like doing how Total Drama does it. Focus on the main pairs for the episode. Now, this doesn't mean just leave everyone alone like they did with Sadie after Katie was eliminated or Justin not really having a purpose in the first season. You need to remind everyone that you still have all the campers and not just a select few. Everyone is not going to get featured all at once, but they are still there regardless. Another example could be Mike, Zoey and Cameron. Those three are considered bland by most fans, but they are significant in their own ways. Not everyone needs to have a special thing about them in my opinion. Sometimes, being basic is what you need. I know people could say I'm wrong, but look at Lightning. He's just as bland as the other three, but he makes his character work by being the stereotypical jock. That doesn't count as his own thing, because Tyler was the first jock on the show so any other argument is invalid. Just wanted to get that off my chest. On to the show now!
Previously on Big Brother: Cody won his second HOH competition of the season which sets in his plan to evict Jose. His team discussed once again putting up Derek as the pawn as Derek sidelined with a very sneaky Dana. Jose tried getting Tep in an alliance, but all he got was utter stupidity from the comedian. At the nomination ceremony, Cody nominated Jose and Derek going through with his plan and America came through for Jose nominating Arnold in the process. The Power of Veto will be the most crucial one for these three men considering a double eviction on the horizon. Who will win the Power of Veto and will it be used to save Jose, Derek or Arnold from eviction? Find out right now on Total Drama Big Brother!

Chapter 22- Veto to the Rescue
Everyone got up after America's Nominee was announced. Kimberly hugged Jose and then Derek.
Kimberly: We have three villains on the block once again and this looks to be an interesting eviction coming up. Arnold is clearly the target for the week since America just handed his eviction to us.
Sayde regrouped with Ellie and Cody on what to do next.
Sayde: Phase 1 Of Operation: Jose Out is complete. We just need to win the Veto and keep the nominations the same so we have a straight through vote.
"All we need is the Veto so don't draw attention to yourselves." Cody warned.
Conor nodded as he headed back to his room with Tep.
Conor: We have full control over the house this week and another target is gonna be sent packing. I can see the finale in sights and we might have to fight each other, but we will succeed where others failed.
Jose was mad that he is on the block and saw Cody talking with Sayde, Ellie, Tep and Conor. He was a little suspicious considering Sayde being in the group.
Jose(Nominee): Are you joking? You're gonna choose Sayde over the person you've been allies with since the beginning of this game? I see where the loyalty went to Cody and you sold me out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kimberly walked up the stairs and went to the HOH Room. She knocked on the door and Cody let her in. She sat down on the couch as she started talking.
"So we have Arnold yet again on the block. Do you think we should take this opportunity?" Kimberly asked.
"On him? This would be a good way to weaken him and Dana." Cody replied.
Cody(Head of Household): I'm really thinking hard on this and my answer is….NO! I already have Jose where I want him so Arnold and Dana will have to wait til double eviction.
"Think of this: we win the Veto and keep the nominations the same. We have the votes to finally get Arnold out." Kimberly explained.
"It seems to easy. He could easily win Veto and there's Jose who can manipulate the house to give him the votes. Derek would be gone then." Cody stated.
"Derek doesn't need to be around, but we don't take this chance. Arnold and Dana will make sure one of us goes next week to make sure they are a few steps closer to the final two." Kimberly retorted.
Cody(Head of Household): Kimberly really wants to ruin my plans and get Arnold out instead. He's not as much as a threat Jose is. Jose probably knows about this secret alliance and will get votes to stay. It's not rocket science to figure out who goes next.
"You can't let this opportunity slip by Cody. Arnold and Dana probably want to take you down first." Kimberly explained.
Kimberly: I understand Cody probably has his own game to worry about, but Arnold is the definite choice to go. Jose really hasn't been doing anything like Derek so I think they are just pawns. I know he told me about the alliance Jose tried reeling him into, but Arnold has proven he's not so trustworthy either.
"I can't just let either of them slide." Cody stated.
"Just give it some thought. You have until the Veto meeting." Kimberly explained.
Cody was furrowing his brow at Kimberly as he thought over the possibilities.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Derek was in the kitchen when Sayde came through. He glared at her as she stepped back.
"What's wrong with you?" Sayde asked.
"So you think I'm weak, huh? Even after I helped you and Chowa get out one of the most obvious threats in this game." Derek replied.
"Derek, you haven't done anything since you were HOH. I just thought you didn't have it in you." Sayde stated.
"You may perceive me as weak, but I proved you wrong when I won the Veto." Derek retorted.
"Good for you." Sayde muttered as she rolled her eyes.
Sayde:Derek is just a big baby over nothing! He thinks when he gets nominated that he's going home. He's not the threat! I may just tell Cody to get rid of Derek so I don't have to hear his whining.
"Guess what else? I'm going to take you down." Derek stated.
"Are you seriously holding a grudge over me nominating you?" Sayde asked as she sat down.
"You always said you wanted to nominate the weak people to find a threat between them. Obviously, you perceive me as a threat." Derek replied.
"No, you haven't done anything since you were HOH so that makes you a floater." Sayde explained.
"I'm gonna win this game and then come back on finale night proving you that I do have what it takes to win. I'm no floater and I'm just as strong as any of you in this game." Derek stated as he walked away.
Derek(Nominee): It's obvious most people in this house fear me and they should. I'm a threat to their game and I'm strong making me a favorable candidate to win this game. They won't know what hit them when I come out on top.
Sayde: Derek winning the game? I don't like speaking ill about people, but I would vote Arnold over him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone gathered in the kitchen for the annual slop. Cody recognized some of it from the Brunch of Digustiness challenge from the first season. He cringed as he picked up the card.
"This week's slop is filled with delicious sardine and work pizza, deluxe crow nail soup and tequila roach shots. Don't forget to eat or this could be your last meal." Cody explained.
Tep and Derek grabbed trash cans as they threw up in them as they hoped Cody would take mercy on them.
"Um…I wouldn't want anyone to have to eat these, but the four brave souls are Tep, Sayde, Derek and Razor. Enjoy the meals guys." Cody chose.
Tep: So I'm on the Have Not list once again. At least it's not really too bad. Just roach shots and crow nail soup...I've had worse from one bar.
Sayde: This is so gross! I think this is my first time being a Have Not and I have to eat this crap. Why couldn't Cody pick someone else?
Derek(Nominee): Cody has it in for me too! I knew I couldn't trust those two! Well, watch out world, because Derek is coming back full force!
Jose(Nominee): Whatever. I already have foul tastes in my mouth called backstab.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ellie and Cody are playing Jenga together as a date. Ellie pulls out a wooden block from underneath and the stack stood. Cody took one from the middle and the tower fell over. Ellie cheered for her victory.
"That's the 20th victory and the streak continues!" Ellie cheered as she raised both arms.
"Seriously? We've been at this for two hours and I still haven't managed to beat you. This game must be rigged." Cody complained.
"Aw, don't fret, babe. You'll beat me...in your dreams." Ellie teased with a giggle and kissed Cody on the cheek.
Ellie: It's been great since me and Cody started dating. He's taken me on a series of mini dates around the house. We've slept in the HOH Room and the hammock outside. We've ate dinner outside.
The camera cuts to the HOH Room where Ellie cuddled up to Cody. Cody and Ellie are then shown sleeping with their heads cuddled up to one another. They are then shown having a candle lit dinner in fancy clothes.
Cody(Head of Household): Ellie's a great girl and I would never trade her for anyone else in the world. It's weird how this all began with a simple notice of beauty and what it involved into. I'll always have her back and I know she's got mine.
Ellie and Cody are seen eating together in the kitchen. Playing tag as Ellie jumps over the couch for safety as Cody trips on the edge. Jela laughs as she passes through at Cody's misfortune.
Cody(Head of Household) and Ellie: It Just feels perfect knowing there is someone there for you every step of the way. Hey, I could never abandon you. You are probably the coolest and most beautiful girl I've ever seen. *giggles and kisses Cody on the lips*
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arnold was walking into the spare lounge room as Jela closed the door. They sat down on the couch together.
"So you never told me you had a sister." Jela stated.
"I never thought you would trust me." Arnold explained.
"I can trust you, but she can't be your number ally. Don't forget about me." Jela stated as she cupped his chin.
"We still have an alliance and I'll be sure to take you to the final three with me and Dana." Arnold promised.
Jela: I don't trust Dana fully, but it would be worth teaming up with her til the finale. Makes my plans of eliminating Cody that much easier. Three forces of evil working together. Me and Arnold gracefully crushing our foes with an iron fist. Dana isn't part of that future and she won't replace me.
"Did you ever have a girlfriend?" Jela asked while blushing.
"I haven't really given it much thought. My focus has been on this game and my sister. Maybe one or two back in the day, but I couldn't hardly remember." Arnold replied.
"Well...I'm just curious is all. Dana surprised me being your sister." Jela stated.
"Did you think she was my girlfriend?" Arnold asked.
"Possibly. I was skeptical, but thought of it in more detail." Jela replied.
"I couldn't date my sister. She already has a girlfriend and I believe they refer to that kind of relationship as incest." Arnold stated.
"Eww! Way to put a nasty image in my head, doof!" Jela exclaimed as she punched Arnold in the arm.
Arnold(Nominee): Jela seems...alarmed that Dana was my sister and thought she was my girlfriend. Granted she could be suspicious of me keeping Dana from her, but asking me if I ever had a girlfriend rings some alarms.
Jela: I don't like Arnold in that way if that's what you're thinking about. It's just I simply wanted to find out how close Dana and Arnold really are. Being siblings means trouble for my game and I can't let blondie get in the way. *blushes*
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jose was in the living room as Sayde came into the room.
"Are you always wearing that hoodie?" Sayde asked.
"It fits with my personality." Jose replied.
"Ellie tells me you've recently become a sweetheart." Sayde stated.
"Can that girl keep her mouth shut? Seriously, I'm not sweet and I'm certainly not soft." Jose protested.
"There's no shame in being sweet. It's not like you have to completely change who your are." Sayde stated.
"You got that right! I'm not changing myself, but I figured people could use the talk. That's how I get them to stop moaning and groaning." Jose explained.
"Why are you so dark and mean?" Sayde asked.
"You think being nice gets you anywhere in this world? Hell no! It's a tough world out there and it's survival of the fittest." Jose replied.
Sayde: Jose doesn't like to open up a lot from what I can tell and I'm not against him as a person. He may be going home this week, but I wanna find out what makes him the way he is.
Jose(Nominee): Like anyone in this house understands what I go through on a daily basis. I'm in this game for a variety of reasons. I'm not a good guy by any means…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cody came through the Diary Room door with a bag full of names.
"Hey everyone! Time to pick players for the Veto competition!" Cody exclaimed.
Everyone cheered as they headed for the living room and sat down on the couches. Jose, Derek and Arnold sat down on the nomination couch.
"Only six players will play in the Veto competition. The Head of Household, the three nominees and two other houseguests selected by random draw. Will the three nominees please join me up here." Cody requested.
The three nominees came up front as Cody continued.
"As the Head of Household, I shall choose the remaining players." Cody stated.
He reached into the bag and pulled out a name.
"Jela." Cody called.
Jela smiles as she joined the others up front.
Jela: If I win the Veto, I'm saving Arnold and Cody can choose whoever else to put up. I just want to see Jose head out that door.
"Conor." Cody announced.
Conor whooped and join the others up front.
Conor: Finally, I get back to competing for the Veto since I was the very first Veto winner of this season. I think it's been awhile since I got to compete in this competition.
"Big Brother will announce when the competition is ready! Good luck to everyone!" Cody announced.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arnold walked out in a purple shirt with a purple cape as the backyard was decorated in all white. A giant display window was showing 18 different comic books of all the houseguests.

Arnold grabbed the card and began to read it.
"Welcome to the warehouse of BB Comics. The new issues are to be released tomorrow, but the staff needs you to make sure they are in the right order. Get on the platform and swing across to see the comics on display. Then, head over the shelf and start organizing. When you think the comics are in the right order, press the buzzer. If you are right, you're done, but if you are wrong, you must keep going. The first houseguest to organize the comics in the right order in the shortest amount of time will win the Golden Power of Veto. Let's play BB Comics!" Arnold read.
Arnold(Nominee): I'm most likely going to be the target for some people so to cancel those votes, I need me or Jela to win. I can't let Jose have that satisfaction of sending me home.
Arnold swung across seeing the display case and dropped down to start organizing. He started placing his first comics in order and as he had to go back seeing the different comics. He had the order set and ran over to his buzzer. He pressed it, but he was wrong. He spent another five minutes memorizing and stacking. He ran over again to his buzzer and he was still wrong.
"What am I not getting?" Arnold asked.
He zipped across again and realized his mistakes running back over memorizing what he saw. He ran back to the buzzer and pressed it getting it right this time.
It was Jela's turn as she was wearing an orange shirt with an orange cape. She zipped across and dropped down to start organizing. She thought she had it right the first time running over pressing her buzzer. She was wrong so she got back on the platform and swung over.
Jela: This has to be a hard challenge, because I'm not good with memory for only a few seconds. I need to win this Veto to keep Arnold in the game and get Jose out.
Jela started her attempt again seeing where she made mistakes. She ran back over to her buzzer pressing it getting it right.
Jose was text flying next to the display window as he got a few seconds to look at the order.
Jose(Nominee): I need this more than anything. I can save myself and get Arnold out the door this week. Then, I can work on getting Jela, Cody and his new friends out. I'm going to rule this game.
He started stacking the comic book covers up. He had to get a second look and he dropped back down to finish the order. He ran to the buzzer and pressed it winning pretty quickly.
Cody took his turn as he dropped down and began organizing.
Cody(Head of Household): Nominations need to stay the way I had them so it needs to be me or Conor winning this competition.
Cody ran to his buzzer and pressed it. He was wrong so he back and zipped across the window. He started stacking again and finished running to the buzzer to press it again. He was still wrong so he had to go back across.
"I'm taking way too long." Cody muttered as he zipped across.
Cody saw his mistakes and dropped down stacking them back in the order they supposed to be. He ran for the buzzer and pressed it getting it right the second time.
Derek took his turn as he zipped across at full force determined to win. He dropped down and started his stacking. He thought he had them right and went for the buzzer. It indicated he was wrong so he went back to doing it.
Derek(Nominee): I need to think fast and use my brain rather than my muscles. I want to win to make the house know that I'm a force to be wreckin with.
Derek zipped across and know what he needed to change so he tried fixing his order. He tried for the buzzer again. He was still wrong.
"What the hell?!" Derek yelled as he went back up.
He zipped across and dropped down to fix what he needed to. He ran back over to his buzzer and bashed it. He still had it wrong as Derek was growing frustrated.
"What am I missing? Conor's wearing a crown! Sayde is wearing a mask! So unless I'm missing something, I got it right!" Derek screamed.
Derek took one more tune zipping across the platform as he dropped down and realized what he was missing. He quickly put thing in order and ran for the buzzer. Derek slapped the buzzer getting it right as he held his head.
Conor zipped across as he dropped down immediately putting his puzzle skills to the test.
Conor: I wanna win this, because I don't know if Cody would have his puzzle skills in tact. It's up to me to win this and make sure Jose hits the road.
Conor finished his first attempt heading over to hit the buzzer. He was wrong so he did it a few more times to make sure he wasn't missing anything when he tried again. He finished and went back over slamming the buzzer.
"Still wrong? Oh wait!" Conor exclaimed.
He started changing his the order around to make it fit. He tried one more time and locked in his time.
The six players were gathered by the scoreboard as Cody addressed them.
"Let's find out the times for everyone. Arnold, your time was...7:34." Cody announced.
Arnold felt proud of himself for his time.
"Jela, your time was...6:30. This means you are currently in the lead." Cody announced.
Jela comforted Arnold as she was confident.
"Razor, your time was...5:25." Cody announced.
Jose smirked as he crossed his arms. Jela and Arnold gave him a big glare.
"My time was...11:35. Razor, you are still in the lead." Cody groaned.
Jose smirked even bigger knowing that Cody lost.
"Derek...your time was 16:37." Cody announced.
Derek sighed as he lowered his head in shame.
"Conor...you need a time of less than 5:25 to win. Your time was...9:23. Congratulations, Razor, you have won the Power of Veto!" Cody exclaimed as he placed the Veto around Jose's neck.
Jose(Nominee/Veto Holder): Didn't think this week through, did ya, Cody? You thought I was going down without a fight and you lost this fight. I'm going to savor this moment for the next few hours.
Cody and Conor groaned as their plan was foiled.
Conor: Low and behold, Jose had to win the Veto which means our plan is chucked out the window. We have one other option however.
"We're going to get Derek. He's going crazy." Conor whispered.
"Why's that?" Cody asked.
"Sayde told me that he's so mad about being put up. He's coming after us full force." Conor replied.
Cody looked back to Derek with an eyebrow raised.
Cody(Head of Household): I was thinking of saving Derek for when we hit the final six, but it looks like he wants to take an early exit. I would be happy to oblige for him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jela and Arnold came in as Arnold hanged his head down.
"Don't feel so down, Ar. You did your best." Jela comforted.
"I suppose, but I'm still the big target. I'm going home this week." Arnold stated.
Arnold went to the Nature Room to hunker down as Jela felt concerned.
Jela: I'm not one to show concern much, but Arnold is losing his focus. I need him to stay in the game so I have someone to back me up. I need to convince the house to vote out Derek or whoever goes up next.
Sayde was in the kitchen as Jela decided to try her luck with her.
"Hey Sayde." Jela greeted as she sat next to Sayde.
"Oh hey Jela." Sayde greeted.
"Listen, I know you don't like Arnold very much…" Jela started.
"You got that right." Sayde interjected.
"Let me finish at least…" Jela hissed.
"Let me guess...you want to save him?" Sayde asked.
"I guess I'm very transparent with my actions." Jela replied.
"Normally, I would decline such things, but I have someone else to eliminate." Sayde stated.
"You aren't going to vote for him?" Jela asked.
"I would on any other day, but I want my vote to count." Sayde replied.
Jela: Easiest thing I've done all season. I didn't have to lift a finger.
Sayde: Jela is very suspicious for wanting to protect Arnold, but he could've manipulated her to side with him. Poor girl...doesn't know what she's in for.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arnold sat down on his bed as he hampered over the things going through his head.
Arnold(Nominee): It feels sucky that I'm going home this week obviously. I have ran out of escape routes and my sister is going to be alone. I'm sorry to my family...I couldn't protect Dana in this game.
Derek held his head as he threw a pillow across the room.
Derek(Nominee): I suck! I suck! I suck! I couldn't win the one thing to save me! This is bulls**t!
Derek smacked the bed a couple times before laying down on it soaking in his misery.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jose walked across the living room as he stopped in front of the Memory Wall. He grabbed the Veto and put it around his neck.
Jose(Nominee/Veto Holder): Winning this Veto was the icing on the cake to get me off the block. This was a dumb move in the first place to put me up and pass me off as a pawn. I'm going to enjoy the next few weeks.
"Everyone, time for the Veto meeting." Jose announced.
Everyone started coming in and seated themselves on the couches. Derek and Arnold sat down on the nomination couch as Jose took his spot.
"This is the Veto meeting. Myself, Derek and Arnold have all been nominated for eviction. However, with the Power of Veto, I have the power to veto one of the nominations. This shouldn't be a surprise, but I'm coming off the block with the Veto. Cody, since I've vetoed one of your nominations, you must choose a replacement nominee to take my place." Jose announced.
Cody nodded and got up as he stood up front.
"I didn't think I would have to do this and no one deserves going up, but I have been talked to regarding questioning better judgement. Kimberly, you know I love you as a person, but you wanting to change plans around doesn't fit my narrative. Please have a seat." Cody explained.
Kimberly gasped as she got up and sat down next to Derek. Some of the house gasped as well.
"With that, this Veto meeting is adjourned." Jose stated as he closed the box.
Everyone started to get up as Kimberly hugged Ellie and Sayde.
Kimberly(Nominee): Cody must be kidding. I just said going after Arnold was a great plan and he puts me up because of it. Maybe he's in on that secret alliance.
Cody walked up to the HOH Room with a sad look.
Cody(Head of Household): It was a tough call to make, but I felt like it was the right one. Hopefully, the house will vote out Derek and then we can work on regaining power.
Derek hugged Jela as he walked back to his room.
Derek(Nominee): I'm not done by a long shot! I have two other people I can campaign against and you bet I'm going to get some votes.
Arnold hugged Dana as they embraced for a few moments.
Arnold(Nominee): It seems more turmoil is ahead and I might get out of his one. I hope that the tables don't turn on me.
Who will be evicted from the Big Brother House: Kimberly, Arnold or Derek? Also, it's one week of Big Brother all played in one night. Stay tuned for the first double eviction of the summer Thursday 9/8c on Big Brother!
