MEET THE HOUSEGUESTS: IT'S ALL RELATIVE Let the games begin. It's the first show of a new BIG BROTHER season, and this year's theme is Do Not Assume. Project DNA for short. Nothing is as it seems. Everything is open to interpretation. With BIG BROTHER 5, you never know who you're living with for the summer.

CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG; MIKE & JENNIFER NOMINATED In the summer's first nomination ceremony, first HoH Jase nominates Mike and Jennifer for eviction. But before the ceremony, Michael decides to reveal to the Four Horsemen (formerly the Knights) first that Jennifer, a.k.a. Nakomis, is his half-sister. Pulling Jase and Scott aside, he lets them in on his secret, recounting how he put the pieces together: the father's name, the tour in Vietnam, the foot blown off. The initial reactions are shock and disbelief. Initially, Jase is stunned, saying, ""I'm just tripping out of my mind."" Then he thinks he's being gamed, adding, ""I have a problem with the timing."" Scott, too, is skeptical: ""I didn't believe it.""

""I CHOOSE NOT TO"": SCOTT WINS PoV, DOESN'T USE IT The noose continues to tighten around Mike's neck as Scott wins the Power of the Veto in the ""Flaringo"" ring toss game. After some deliberation, Scott elects not to use the PoV. This decision leaves both Jennifer, a.k.a. Nakomis, and Mike as the HouseGuests still up on the block.

THE DON GETS HIS WALKING PAPERS: MIKE EVICTED, MARVIN NEW HOH By a unanimous vote, Mike, the 41-year old painter from Michigan, is the first evicted from the BIG BROTHER household. Despite his best efforts to plant seeds of doubt about the power of the Scott and Jase alliance, he is unable to change anyone's opinion and gets evicted live on national TV. Mike's reaction to the unanimous ousting? ""Somebody could have thrown me one vote.""

MARVIN HAS SPOKEN: LORI & HOLLY ON THE BLOCK Nomination day arrives, and Head of Household Marvin begins his deliberations. After a quick consultation with three of the Four Horsemen (not Michael), and a sit-down with Adria, Marvin calls the Nomination Ceremony to order. He makes a brief speech about how his nominations reflect the strength of the players he has nominated and begins the ceremony by removing Diane's key.

JASE SNAGS PoV, MARVIN PUTS KAREN ON THE BLOCK In a riveting competition called Snag the Veto, Jase emerges victorious over a hard-working Lori to grab the Power of Veto. As in the previous Veto competition, not all HouseGuests compete. It's just the HOH, the two nominees and the partners of their choosing. Marvin chooses Drew, ""...the pretty boy from the Buckeye state."" Lori selects Karen, and Holly chooses Jase. Holly showed prescience bordering on clairvoyance, saying, ""I looked at Jase. He's a fireman. He's probably got to deal with a lot of hoses and water."" As a result of Jase's win, HOH Marvin puts Karen up for eviction in place of Holly.

PUSH COMES TO SHOVE: DREW HoH, LORI OUT Jase's removal of Holly from the eviction block works to perfection as Marvin then puts Karen up for eviction and effectively demolishes the fledgling Will/Lori/Karen alliance. Marvin makes the understatement of the week when he talks about the Karen/Lori situation: ""Karen was campaigning to keep Lori in the house. I don't think she's campaigning now."" And, while Jase may have been voting with his heart, he claims it was his head. ""It was a no-brainer. The numbers were bigger than the horsemen's numbers.""

DREW SHAKES THINGS UP--HOLLY AND NAKOMIS ON THE BLOCK Drew steps up, calls it like he sees it and puts Holly and Nakomis up on the block--both of them two time nominees. As soon as Drew won HoH he found himself inundated by advice, counsel and commentary by not just the Four Horsemen, but every single player in the game. For a time it seems like he will put up Marvin, then Diane and then possibly Adria. But in the end, he goes with what he feels is best for himself over the long term.

9  BB5 Ep #9

In a Bluffing Competition, Jennifer aka Nakomis wins the Power of Veto, and she removes herself from the chopping block. Then, after another switch, Adria pleads her case to Drew to not put her up for eviction. This obviously falls on deaf ears, as Drew replaces Nakomis with Adria-putting the twin twist in jeaporday.

Holly's Not So Jolly What appeared to be a highly contested week turns out to be a rout when Holly is evicted by a near-unanimous vote of 7 to 1. How did what seemed to be a 4 to 4 deadlock with Drew having to weigh in as HoH turn into this lopsided tally? One need look no further than the Spy Screen in the HoH room, as the Four Horsemen spy Jase kissing Holly, proving how sprung he is. That, coupled with his reticence to talk about it, makes it clear just how problematic the Holly-Jase situation has become. After Holly says her goodbyes, the HoH Competition is a test of endurance, and the new Head of Household has yet to be named.

SCOTT SHOT DOWN, NAKOMIS HOH, NATALIE MOVES IN In the most tightly contested vote of Big Brother 5, Scott, the very foundation of the Four Horsemen, is shown the door, but not before some aggressive lobbying by all the Horsemen, not the least of which is done by Scott himself. Scott's ouster isn't the only surprise, though, as Julie Chen reveals the ""secret"" HouseGuest, Natalie, and explains the Twin Twist. Natalie joins her housemates for a spirited HoH competition, and Nakomis emerges victorious as the new Head of Household.

SIX-FINGER PLAN: NAKOMIS NOMINATES DIANE & MARVIN The game gets even more complicated as Nakomis kicks the game playing into high gear by putting up Diane, who is clearly in her alliance, and Marvin, who is recently a friend of the girls' alliance. As articulated by Will, the six-finger plan works like this: after winning the HoH Competition, Nakomis nominates two people in her alliance so that when it is time to have the Golden Power of Veto Competition, all six participants will be in Nakomis' alliance. Whoever wins the Golden Power of Veto Competition will then remove one of the alliance members from the chopping block, and Nakomis will be free to nominate either Jase or Cowboy or Drew, who would have nary an escape route available.

In this episode, the power of veto is up for grabs. Nakomis, Diane, Marvin, Drew, Will, and Adria. Drew won the power of veto and was torn between his loyalty to Diane and his loyalty to Jase. In a veto ceremony that shocked Jase, Drew removed Diane from the block, given Nakomis the oppurtunity to nominate Jase for eviction. The final result of Tuesday night's veto ceremony was Jase and Marvin up for eviction, the final result to be determined live on Thursday.

JASE JETTISONED; A's NUMBER ONE Jase gets bounced by a near-unanimous vote with Cowboy the only holdout. For a moment before the vote, Jase thinks he might have slipped the noose yet again by using ""reverse psychology"" on Will and Karen. He keeps saying to Karen, and then to Will, that he wants them to promise to vote him out. For one hot second, he thinks that maybe his plan worked. He is, however, wrong, and finds himself doing the walk to talk to Julie Chen as opposed to the Jase victory dance. Adria, the first to compete in the HoH game, ends up the winner, becoming BIG BROTHER 5's third consecutive female HoH.

A RULES THE DAY: MARVIN & WILL NOMINATED The united alliance that evicted Jase from the House appears to be crumbling. Adria, the new Head of Household, immediately begins debating which HouseGuest should go up on the chopping block. Along with her identical twin, Natalie, Adria toys with nominating Will, Karen and Jennifer (aka Nakomis). HouseGuest after HouseGuest pays a visit to the HoH room, pleading their case. While Adria's mind is far from made up, one thing is clear: it is every HouseGuest for him- or herself.

Will and Marvin, nominated for eviction, compete for the Power of Veto, a Christmas-Style Game of Luck, only to find that Adria has won in the end. Both get angry with Adria, calling her ""The Second Jase"", ""The Demoness"" and calling her sister, Natalie ""Rosemary's Baby"" or ""The Evil Spawn."" Later, the luxury competition is held, the prize being a viewing of ""Without a Paddle."" Diane, Drew and Will win, and when the Power of Veto ceremony finishes, Adria is still wearing the veto necklace.

The eviction ceremony between Marvin and Will occured. We have Marvin and Will still complaining about Adria using the bible and the gay/black card. The houseguests voted live and there was a tie in the voting. Adria had to cast the deciding vote which evicted Will. On his way out Will would not hug Adria or Natalie. He said to Adria ""If karma is a boomerang I'll be seeing you sooner than later"" then left the house to talk to Julie. After the commercial break the Head of Household competition ensued. It was a quick competition where the houseguests were in their own booths answering questions about former houseguests (minus Will) and their surveys they took before they entered the house (which are posted on the CBS website). In the end it came down to Diane and Nakomis. The tie-breaker was how many pounds of M&Ms were used total in the luxury competition. Diane guessed 400 where Nakomis guessed 500. The answer was 900 making Nakomis Head of Household for her second time in the house.

DOUBLE TROUBLE: ADRIA & NATALIE ON THE BLOCK Nakomis puts not one but two twins on the block, seemingly ensuring that one of them will be leaving. Nakomis is clear about the reasons for her actions and does not waver in her commitment to her principled stance that the twins must go because they broke the pinky swear alliance in evicting Will.

ADRIA ACHIEVES PoV: COWBOY GOES UP IN HER PLACE After one of the stranger Power of Veto ceremonies, during which Adria first asks of her twin sister why she should be saved, then asks of herself why Adria should be saved--she announces that because Natalie has not been given a fair shake by the House, Adria will save herself. Nakomis puts up Cowboy in her place, hoping the rest of the HouseGuests won't consider him for eviction.

22  BB5 Ep #22

NATALIE NIXED, MARVIN HOH In fairly overwhelming fashion, by a vote of 4 to 1, Natalie is evicted from the BIG BROTHER House. After a week of heavy politicking by both twins, with Drew seemingly the reed in the wind, the eventual tally sends a resounding message that Will will be avenged, and that breaking promises at this stage of the game is not okay. Marvin, following his THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS win, finishes out the week strong with victory in the Head of Household Competition.

23  BB5 Ep #23

ADRIA AND COWBOY ON ICE: KAREN TURNS COLD SHOULDER Marvin throws Adria and Cowboy up on the block, out of allegiance to Will and a desire to get a strong player out of the BIG BROTHER 5 House. He tells the gathered HouseGuests that he put the two of them up because he knows that Cowboy has Adria's back and would have played on her team in the Veto competition and tried to rescue her. It's a strategic decision on his part. When Karen later wins PoV, she elects not to use it, so Cowboy and Adria remain up for eviction.

ADRIA AXED, DREW WINS HoH In a dramatic end to her stay in the BIG BROTHER House, Adria, at the very threshold of departure, gives the HouseGuests a piece of her mind. First, she says her favorite moment was the day when Natalie came into the House, a moment that the other HouseGuests may not have wanted to recall. Adria adds that she's learned a lot about people in the House by being on the block for the week, and that she will take that into consideration when she is voting on the Jury. Then, as though she has just heard a voice, she says, ""Natalie says she feels the same way. So that's two votes."" This sets Marvin off, and he fires back, unwilling to take Adria's guff lying down. They jaw for a while, and then a smiling Adria makes her way out of the BIG BROTHER House. Drew wins the Head of Household Competition, but before he can savor the moment, he discovers that it's a double eviction week and he will only be HoH for a brief 48 hours.

MARVIN MOVIN' OUT; NAKOMIS NEW HoH In a special double eviction week, Marvin comes up short and is shown the door by a unanimous 3-0 vote. Despite assurances from Diane that she would protect him, he is unable to sway anyone to his side and finds himself evicted. Following Marvin's eviction, Nakomis wins and is installed as new HoH.

DIANE RESCUES DREW: KAREN & COWBOY ON THE BLOCK Though loathe to put her brother up for eviction, reigning HoH Nakomis throws Cowboy and Drew on the block. Her previous commitments have left her with little room to maneuver and she knows it. ""Am I going to be a bitch for doing this? I've done the hardcore promises thing with Karen and Diane."" Later, in a twist that was difficult to see coming, Diane, Cowboy and Drew conspire to help Diane win the Power of Veto. Diane removes her sometime boyfriend and cuddle-monster Drew from the chopping block, and Nakomis replaces him with Karen.

Air Date: 2004-09-07

27  BB5 Ep #27

KAREN KO'D, DREW NEW HOH Following through on their plan, Drew and Diane boot out Karen, keeping Cowboy for their alliance. Nakomis immediately gets her game on, knowing she will need to be sharp if she wants to stay in game. Drew wins Head of Household for the third time, narrowly eclipsing Cowboy and setting the scene for a tense week of alliance building and end-of-game scenario planning.

Air Date: 2004-09-09

28  BB5 Ep #28

THE FINAL FOUR: DIANE AND NAKOMIS ON THE BLOCK Following through on a multi-phased plan, Drew puts Nakomis and Diane up on the block, effectively allowing Diane not to have break her pinky swear and vote out Nakomis. The last chance for Nakomis will be the Veto competition, and with the way plans appear to have been laid out (by Drew, Cowboy and Diane in cahoots) if Nakomis does not win the Veto she can probably begin packing her bags.

NO, NO NAKOMIS: COWBOY LASSOES VETO In the most unique BIG BROTHER Veto Ceremony of the summer, Cowboy holds all the power because he wins of the Golden Power of Veto. When he chooses to save Diane, he sends his own half-sister Nakomis packing and on her way to the jury.
