Previously on Big Brother: At a intense battle to re-enter the house, Jela, Brady and Kimberly were on the edge of their rides. Kimberly managed to win the return spot and almost outlasted everyone until she fell off her platform. This left Ellie winning her first HOH of the summer and the power for the week. Kimberly had tried restarting her flirtatious ways with Arnold and even kissed him to make him think about it. Conor grew weary of Cody's gameplay as he figured he coaxed Ellie into going after Tep. At the nomination ceremony, Ellie went with her safe bet and nominated Arnold and Dana. Who will win the Power of Veto and will it be used to save Arnold or Dana from eviction? Find out right now on Big Brother!

Chapter 31- Fashionis-Veto
Everyone got up from the dining table as Arnold and Dana were the nominees for the week.
Arnold(Nominee): I saw this coming from a mile away. I'm still a big threat to Ellie's game and I didn't expect her not to come after me. However, I'm not going to lose here when I came so far.
Dana(Nominee): I'm on the block for the first time and I'm a little bit livid. I didn't expect it to be this scary and nerve wracking, but I warned Arnold about this and the idiot doesn't listen.
Conor and Tep went to the living room and started chatting.
"I'm not surprised. They probably put them up to throw us off." Conor stated.
"You think?" Tep asked.
"Cody's a vet in this game need I remind you. He's picked up some Heather moves." Conor replied.
Tep: So Cody convinced his girl to put the twins up and then tried throwing me and Conor off his scent so I wouldn't see it coming come eviction night. Definitely a Heather move.
Conor: I was with Cody last week, but he's not better than Tep was. I know he's trying to convince Ellie to put Tep up as a replacement. He was all about getting rid of him last week.
Cody and Ellie regrouped as they headed up the stairs.
"This is getting hectic. Conor and Tep seem awfully suspicious." Cody stated.
"Why? I did what I thought was right. Who wouldn't put those two up?" Ellie asked.
"Exactly. Arnold and Dana would take advantage of all this blame being tossed around to coast to the final two." Cody replied.
"Flying under the radar sure is easy to catch onto." Ellie boasted with a proud smile.
Cody: Conor and Tep seem to be on my case now with Kimberly on the rear. So many people will be itching to put me up next time an eviction comes around. I'm only trying to help them along.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Conor was in the storage room when Cody walked in. Conor saw him and quickly ducked out.
"What's going on with you?" Cody tried asking, but Conor was already gone.
Cody: Now, Conor won't try talking it out with me. Seriously, was Ellie winning a mistake?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Conor ducked out as Tep was walking. They bumped into each other.
"Well, don't you have a sense of direction." Tep mocked.
"Not really in the mood for slapstick humor." Conor stated.
"What's wrong?" Tep asked.
"I have to avoid Cody. I'm just too suspicious of him to talk to him." Conor replied.
"Well, I think you should talk with him. He probably has a lot to tell." Tep suggested.
"Yeah, and what if he lies to me? I could be the next one out as we speak." Conor stated.
"Not talking to him makes you that way. Not being social makes you a target...or you're a floater. Not really sure how that works." Tep stated as he thought it over.
"Just leave it alone." Conor ordered as he walked off.
Cody heard the conversation and looked down to the floor.
Cody: Maybe it was a mistake. I don't blame Ellie, though. Conor just needs some to think.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ellie and the other seven houseguests stood around the Have Not food for the week. Ellie twiddled with her thumbs.
"I really don't want to choose anyone to be a Have Not. I feel like none of you deserve it." Ellie stated.
"You know you have to make a decision sometime." Dana retorted.
"Alright, um...Conor, Tep, Sayde and Kimberly." Ellie chose.
The four houseguests were all shrugging their shoulders.
Conor: I've been a Have Not enough time to know it gets easier and easier as you go through with it.
Sayde: It's been awhile since I've been a Have Not or maybe I haven't been one yet this season. It's really hard to know.
Tep: I'm used to it.
Kimberly: Great, stuck on slop and cold showers. Maybe I should've let Brady or Jela win.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kimberly decided to go up and talk with Ellie. She went up the stairs and up to the balcony.
Kimberly: I need reassurance that I'm staying this week. Arnold might be the one going home and I'll need to latch onto someone to take me far.
Kimberly knocked on the door as Ellie opened it. She let Kimberly in as Kim sat down on the couch and Ellie down on the bed.
"What's up?" Ellie asked.
"I just need some reassurance that I'm safe for this week. I've not done anything to you and Cody." Kimberly replied.
"Of course not. I wouldn't target you anyway. Arnold is the one I want gone." Ellie stated.
"Good that we can be on the same page. However, don't you think Dana should be going?" Kimberly asked.
"Why? Did she do something?" Ellie asked.
"Yeah, she's using Arnold. She tried to even manipulate me into a possible final three alliance." Kimberly replied.
Ellie bit her thumb as she thought over her decision.
Ellie(Head of Household): I'm scared on what to do now, because I haven't had to make a big decision all season long. I just hope whatever happens doesn't come back on me.
"Who were you thinking as a replacement?" Kimberly asked.
"Tep. He's definitely my next thought." Ellie replied.
"Perfect. Than he will be the one going home." Kimberly stated.
Kimberly: Tep or Dana this week have to go home. This way Arnold can focus on me and take me to the final two. I can coax my way in with the Jury I'm sure.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was Arnold decided to go up and knock on the HOH Room. Ellie let him in, but she was weary about what he wanted.
Arnold: My goal is to win the Veto this week, but I also need to do some damage control in case that fails. Ellie is someone really easy to manipulate and then when the time is right, I can push her out that door without another word.
"What do you want?" Ellie asked.
"I just want to do some damage control. I'm really sorry about what happened earlier this season." Arnold replied.
"You're only apologizing now, though." Ellie retorted with her hands cuddling her blue bear.
"Well, I guess I got a little carried away with my fun." Arnold stated.
"I'm having a hard time really believing that. You could just be luring me in to a false sense of security." Ellie explained.
"You have every right to think that. I was just hoping to do some damage control." Arnold stated.
Ellie(Head of Household): Arnold isn't the most trustworthy person, but I guess he does look a little remorseful. I really hope this isn't a ploy just for me to use the Veto on him if I win.
Arnold: It seems she's more resilient than I originally intended to believe. Time to up the ante as they say.
"It's just...Jela told me to continue for her. She wouldn't want me to give up this soon." Arnold stated as he made a fake crying voice.
"Jela told you to continue for her? That's so cute!" Ellie exclaimed.
"She doesn't want me to be this mean guy anymore. She's sees the good in me…" Arnold stated before fake crying his eyes out.
"Awww, you do have a heart. Well, I guess I could forgive you as long as you promise not to do it again." Ellie explained.
"I promise with all my heart and for Jela." Arnold promised.
Arnold: Whew! I guess all those romance movies I watched were worth it. I never suspected you gain mischievous tips from watching a love story.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sayde and Tep were in the Have Not Room. They were in bed as Tep turned over to Sayde.
"Do you forgive me?" Tep asked.
"Why do you ask that? Of course I forgive you." Sayde replied.
"I just don't want people mad at me. I made a dumb move and I really did suffer for it by almost being evicted." Tep stated.
"As long as you learned your lesson, I'm sure people will warm up to you." Sayde stated.
"I just don't feel like that's going to happen. You make one mistake in this game and your game is over." Tep explained.
"It's alright, Tep. I was disappointed, but I got over it." Sayde assured.
Sayde: I know me, Conor and Tep have had our differences, but it shouldn't be taken out on him. I was hurt since I thought we had an alliance, but Tep didn't no any better.
Tep: I guess Karen was right when she said I don't make much sense anymore. I'm not smart and I'm devilishly handsome. I've got good material as a comedian, but the curtains could be closing on my time here.
"Just don't let it bother you. We all make mistakes and we need to learn from them." Sayde stated as she turned over to go to sleep.
Tep thought about it, but fell asleep mid-thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ellie came through the door with a box full of names.
"Hey everyone! It's time to pick players for the Veto competition!" Ellie exclaimed.
Everyone cheered and clapped as they sat down on the couches. Arnold and Dana sat down on the nomination chairs.
"Only six players will play in the Veto competition. The Head of Household, the two nominees and three houseguests selected at random draw. Will the nominees please join my up here." Ellie requested.
Arnold and Dana met Ellie up front as he continued on.
"As Head of Household, I'll choose first." Ellie stated as she reached into the box.
Everyone watched as she pulled out a name from the box.
"Sayde." Ellie announced.
Sayde clapped and joined the others up front. Arnold took his turn and reached into the bag.
"Tep." Arnold chose.
Tep clapped and smiled as he joined the others up front. Dana took her turn crossing her fingers for Conor.
Dana: I want karate boy in this and not Cody or Kimberly. They will use it on Arnold in a heartbeat and leave me out in the dust.
"Houseguest Choice. I choose Conor." Dana stated.
Conor came up as he smirked at Cody shrugging his shoulders. Cody glared back at him.
"Big Brother will announce when the competition will begin. Good luck to everyone!" Ellie exclaimed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The six players Veto players came out dressed as themselves as Cody and Kimberly took a seat to the side. The backyard was decorated into a fashion show as six rows of clothes were on the racks.
Ellie(Head of Household): Never was a big fan of fashion, but I love the clothes that are on display. I really hope me or Sayde wins this Veto so we can keep the nominations the same.
Two people came out from backstage as the houseguests were surprised. It was Katie and Sadie of Total Drama fame.
"Hi guys!" Katie exclaimed.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm back in the Big Brother House! Eeeeeeekkk!" Sadie added.
"You do know it's not actually your return to the house, right?" Conor asked.
"Of course. Me and Katie were called up to be the special hosts of this week's Veto competition." Sadie explained.
"The what?" Dana asked.
Dana: More glitter girls ruining my chances?! What was Chris and Julie thinking?
"We hope you guys are ready to put your fashion skills to the test. Here's how this game works. We will show you a model on display and you must present the dress that matches the one on display. However, there is a long row of clothes so you'll have to look very fast. The last person who presents last obviously has bad taste and will be escorted away from the premises." Katie explained.
The six Veto players got to their rows waiting for the first dress to come up. The model had on a red party dress. The six players went through their rows trying to find the dress. Tep, Arnold, Sayde, Dana and Ellie presented their dresses.
"Thanks to all for finding the dress. Conor, you are done so bye-bye!" Katie exclaimed.
Conor took a seat next to Cody as he sighed.
Conor: I wanted to keep the noms the same and keep me and Tep here another week, but it looks like it's up to him.
The next dress on display was a baby blue navy dress. Sayde, Tep, Arnold and Ellie brought back their dresses.
"Dana, time to hit the hay!" Sadie exclaimed.
Dana growled as she sat down near Conor.
Dana: I can't believe I lost! However, I trust that Arnold can win this Veto and make it lucky number three for this week.
The next dress on display was a orange traffic cone dress. Tep, Ellie and Arnold found the dress as they presented their dresses.
"Sayde, time to take a seat." Katie announced.
Sayde smiles as she sat down and hopes for Ellie's success.
Sayde: Bad case scenario is Arnold winning. I want these noms to stay the same so Tep or Ellie better step to it.
The next dress on display was a pink schoolgirl outfit. Arnold and Tep presented their dresses.
"Sorry, Ellie, you're cute, but you fail at fashion." Sadie stated.
The last dress on display was a golden dress as both men set out to find it. Arnold was the first to grab the dress.
"Congratulations, Arnold, you have the cutest fashion sense and you have won the Power of Veto!" Katie exclaimed.
Arnold was awarded his fourth Veto as Dana hugged him.
Arnold(Nominee/Veto Holder): Three time in a row! This Veto just likes hanging around my neck and let's me decide my own fate. They ain't ever gonna get rid of me.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone came inside as Conor and Sayde were stuck outside.
"I saw you smirk at Cody. What's that deal?" Sayde asked as she decided to break the silence.
"I just can't trust him, Sayde. He's a vet and he can get around anything in this game. It's like no one can stop him." Conor replied.
"What's up with that? We're an alliance here." Sayde stated.
"He tried getting rid of Tep and he's in Ellie's ear half the time. I think it's time he goes." Conor decided.
"Why? He's taking us to the final five. Can't you just wait till it's everyone for themselves?" Sayde asked.
Conor: I appreciate that Cody is willing to stick with this alliance in the long run, but he's been proving that he can't be trusted like Arnold and Kimberly. Those three are the big threats that we need to focus on getting out.
"I just can't trust that he will stick to that promise. He still has ties with Arnold and Arnold is looking to probably take Kimberly to the finals." Conor explained.
"That's not fair. You won't even talk to him about this." Sayde accused.
"I can't right now, Sayde. I don't know if he'll try to manipulate me." Conor stated as he walked back in the house.
Sayde: Conor is being a jerk! He's letting paranoia get to his head. He was the one putting Tep up last week, he was the one onboard with getting rid of him and he's blaming this all on Cody? Talk about being a big hypocrite.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kimberly was in the kitchen as Dana came through the living room.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the one who loves my brother." Dana stated.
"What's it to you?" Kimberly asked in a sassy tone.
"Listen, my brother is my partner in this game and he's not allowed to screw around with some harlet." Dana replied.
"Harlet? What are you, his mom?" Kimberly asked with a smirk.
"I'm his sister and he follows my orders. You can do your own game, but you won't treat him like you did Brady." Dana stated.
"For the last time, Brady was a distraction and he was going to flirt with me ruining my game." Kimberly explained.
"Still doesn't mean you can't do the same thing to Arnold." Dana retorted.
"So what? I'll be getting that half mil pretty soon. Six more people to get rid of." Kimberly boasted.
Dana: Six more indeed. Including her, because me and Arnold are sitting in those chairs come the finale.
Kimberly: I can't believe Arnold's sister doesn't like me. Not like I really care, but it could help my game out a little bit. I really hate making nice with people I don't like really well.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arnold walked across the living room as he went to the Memory Wall. Arnold grabbed the Veto and put it around his neck.
"Hey everyone. It's time for the Veto meeting." Arnold announced as he opened the door to the backyard.
Everyone came in as they sat down on the couches. Arnold stood where he would sit and Dana sat down in her chair.
"This is the Veto meeting. Me and Dana have been nominated for eviction, but with the Veto, I have the power to change one of the nominations. This is my fourth Veto win of the season and I've always used it on myself. However, I rather face off with someone I know I have a good chance against. I'm gonna use the Veto on Dana." Arnold announced.
Arnold put the Veto around Dana's neck as she sat there shocked at Arnold.
"Ellie, since I've vetoed one of your nominations, you must choose a replacement to take Dana's place." Arnold explained as he sat back down.
Ellie went up front and looked at everyone. She was deep in thought.
"I totally didn't expect that from you, Arnold, but this is a game of surprises. I'm gonna make this decision based on what I've been told by others. So, the replacement nominee sitting with Arnold will be…
….
….
….
….
….
….
….
….
…..
….
….
….
….
"...Kimberly." Ellie announced.
Kimberly was skeptical after she was told she was safe, but sat down next to Arnold. He got up and went to the front.
"This Veto meeting is adjourned." Arnold concludes as he closed the box.
Everyone started to get up as Sayde hugged a crying Dana.
Dana: *crying* Why would that idiot give me this?! He...he...he's the best big brother ever!
Arnold hugged Kimberly as Dana joined the hug.
Arnold(Nominee): I did what I did, because I know if there's another threat beside me, that's going to get some heads thinking. Let's see if it pays off.
Kimberly was a little mad at Ellie for putting her up and vowed revenge.
Kimberly(Nominee): Back on the block where I know I don't belong. Whatever. It was probably Cody that told her to do it like it was last time. I can't catch a break with the guy.
Who will be evicted from the Big Brother House: Arnold or Kimberly? Plus, it's a whole week of Big Brother in one hour as another houseguest will leave the house. Find out Thursday 9/8c on Big Brother!
