Josh Sweats - by Charlie Toft

Nomination day begins at the ungodly (by houseguest standards) hour of 8 AM. Big Brother announces that a food competition will begin in one hour. As he eats breakfast and awaits what looks like a certain nomination later in the day, Josh gets complimented by Tonya and Chiara, who tell him he would make a great father. A little bit of sucking up is inevitable in this game, but the one is really out there. When Josh teases Roddy about why he didn’t sleep with Chiara last night, she responds, “He’s found something better.” Trouble in paradise? Tonya treats the houseguests to a story about a friend who went out and bought the same expensive outfit that she had. Tonya’s brand name-dropping and catty attitude is wearing thin.

The food competition divides the houseguests into two teams of 5, with the losing team sentenced to a week of eating peanut butter and jelly. The contestants are weighed and then have their hands tied behind their backs. They must eat from a giant gingerbread house full of brownies, and are given milk and water to wash it down. The team that gains the most weight after 15 minutes will win. Some of the houseguests can’t go the entire 15 minutes and appear to be on the verge of vomiting. Gerry somehow gets brownie on top of his head, and Marcellas undoes Roddy’s tight pants for him. When the re-weighing is finished, the team of Jason, Amy, Lisa, Josh, and Roddy are declared victors, and the houseguests scoot off to the bathroom to purge and clean up. Josh’s weight gain is thrown out because he was seen stuffing brownie into his pockets, but his team still gains enough to win.

After the competition Marcellas retreats to prepare for the nominations. He asks that people please leave him alone, so naturally, the regulars come to visit. Amy drops in to say that Josh should be put up against someone popular, and if Josh gets vetoed then Chiara should be put in his place—that would a perfect outcome as far as Amy is concerned. Josh comes in to plead his case, which mostly amounts to attacking Gerry and promising not to nominate Marcellas if he becomes Head of Household. Having apparently struck out with Marcellas, Josh goes after a new target, Danielle. He confronts her angrily, telling her that her decision to ally with Gerry is shocking to him. Danielle does not admit to an alliance, and accuses Josh of having threatened people, specifically Amy. Naturally, Josh lies and totally denies threatening anyone.

Josh then walks over to where Gerry is playing cards, and launches into his most vicious direct attack on him yet (which is saying something—he’s taken to calling him a Nazi). Josh tells him his life and career will be over once he’s out of the house. No parents will ever let their kids near you again, Josh yells. Gerry informs Marcellas of the confrontation, “Josh wants me to hit him” he says. Danielle comes by next, once again trying to feed Marcellas’s suspicions about Amy. She’s also wondering out loud whether Josh should really be nominated after all. She asks him what he would think if she won the veto and used it on Josh. Marcellas replies that he hopes Tonya wins the veto, because it would be a test of her loyalty to the group. He says that if someone from the alliance gets vetoed, another alliance member will be the replacement. Marcellas next talks with Roddy, who is his usual ingratiating self—praising Marcellas for his dignity as a nominee, nodding along with Marcellas’ denunciations of Josh, and agreeing that Gerry doesn’t deserve the treatment that Josh has been giving him.

The contestants are gearing up for the big ceremony. Lisa believes she’ll be nominated, as payback for her own nomination of Marcellas. Lisa also gives an update on her in-house love life—she’s kissed Eric, but wonders why he doesn’t pay more attention to her. Chiara is told that Roddy referred to his relationship with her as being like an inkblot—one day it looks like love, and the next day it doesn’t. Josh is grousing to Tonya, saying that he knows he made a mistake letting Gerry get the better of him.

At 7:00 local time Josh and the other houseguests gather to find out who was nominated, a scene that’s blacked out on the live feeds. When coverage is restored, there are signs of what just occurred: Tonya telling Marcella she understands. Gerry telling Marcellas that he did what was expected. Josh and Tonya are the nominees. Josh, in a rare attempt at graciousness, tells Tonya that she was a smart choice, because he wouldn’t campaign against her. He grumbles about how things have gone, how alienated Danielle must have been to ally herself with someone like Gerry. Tonya, for her part, says it’s not so bad—if she gets kicked out, she can go home and have sex.

The others in the alliance seem knocked on their heels, although this shouldn’t have been a big surprise. They’re already looking ahead to Josh being gone, discussing how to get Jason into the alliance so they stay at six. Jason, they think, will have more in common with the alliance than with the others. Marcellas accepts praise for how he handled things, even from alliance members. He tells Chiara that nominating Tonya was the best way to make sure Josh left, and she seems to accept that.

In bed later, Eric and Lisa talk about how it looks for them now. Eric seems torn between wanting to stand up for Josh and appearing to support someone who isn’t very popular. He really doesn’t want to win the power of veto or anything that might put him in a position where he has to declare an opinion. Curiously, Eric announces that he thinks all the alliance members will vote to save Josh—the women haven’t said that--and that if Jason votes for him too, Josh would stay. Lisa doesn’t respond at all to that statement: even within the alliance the game is on.

Once again tonight, Marcellas and Danielle spend pre-bedtime talking about the game. Marcellas says that Eric and Roddy are playing smart, letting Josh take all the heat for the alliance. On cue, Josh shows up once more at the Head of Household door. He tries to apologize for the behavior that got him nominated, saying he knows he was “incredibly disruptive”. He also says he knows Marcellas wants him out, which lightens the mood. He tells Marcellas that he if his nomination is vetoed and he somehow winds up as Head of Household, he won’t come after him—all his vengeance will be directed at one man. Marcellas says that Gerry’s “day of reckoning will come”, but gives Josh no hope that he'll be around to see it.

Still, Josh is lobbying hard and describes his theory that if someone vetoes him, Marcellas will nominate Gerry as a replacement to anyone who'll listen. Certainly, the best way to insure a possible veto, if the alliance wins it, is to put out the hope that Gerry would be Marcellas’ alternative nominee. The lies get deeper and the plot thickens.
