"There&amp;#039;s been another big shake-up in the Big Brother USA house - this week&amp;#039;s HoH, Shane, decided to make a bold move and put both Frank and Boogie on the chopping block. While they were previously working together (or so they thought) as part of the Silent Six alliance, it&amp;#039;s clear everyone will need to re-examine their priorities in the game and most importantly, not trust anyone! Stay with Digital Spy live from 8/7c to see if Frank and Boogie will be able to save themselves during the PoV competition or if Shane will maintain control.   20:56That&amp;#039;s it for tonight - join us again tomorrow night (Thursday, August 23) at 9/8c for a special double elimination! 20:55It&amp;#039;s time for the Veto meeting. Frank, of course, takes himself off the block, leaving Shane to pick another houseguest. Unfortunately, Boogie doesn&amp;#039;t get his wish of Dan going up. Instead, Shane chooses Jenn, who insists that she&amp;#039;s getting &amp;quot;fired up&amp;quot; and that anyone who knows her knows to beware when that happens. LOL to that. 20:47Not content with his ridiculous speeches already, Boogie chats Shane&amp;#039;s ear off yet again up in the Head of Household room, describing Dan as a &amp;quot;scary person&amp;quot; to have in the game and trying to say that Dan was an absolute menace in the game previously. Shut up, Boogie. I&amp;#039;m tired of listening to you. He thinks that Shane is an &amp;quot;idiot savant... without the savant&amp;quot; and that whoever is the last to get his ear will get what he wants. I hope that&amp;#039;s not the case, but he is right that there is a certain spark missing in Shane&amp;#039;s head... 20:46Later, Jenn tries to talk to Shane about what his plan is and tries to put Dan forward. Oh, come on, people. 20:45Boogie comes up to talk to Shane and apologises to Britney in order to try to get her trust and have her convince Shane to put Dan on the block. Boogie claims that Dan ruined their alliance and he starts having a pity party about losing the friendship. He even tries to fake cry, but thank God, Britney&amp;#039;s too smart for it. 20:43Frank&amp;#039;s nine lives in the game continue, and Boogie vows to encourage Shane to put Dan on the block. He&amp;#039;s trying to rally the floaters to get them on board with his plan and starts ranting at Jenn, Ashley and Joe. Frank also encourages the others to tell Shane that they&amp;#039;re on board with it, saying that if Shane knows that the rest of the house will be &amp;quot;mad at him&amp;quot; if he doesn&amp;#039;t nominate Dan (uh, what? Shut up!) then he&amp;#039;ll be more likely to do it. Jenn, however, is drinking the Kool-Aid and sees Dan as public enemy number one. Shame - she&amp;#039;s sitting next to the real one. 20:37Frank takes the second lollipop point as well, but Jenn is out next. The following round gives Shane a lollipop point and sends Ian out of the competition (though he wanted to throw it so as to save himself from being discovered by Boogie and Frank). However, it goes south when Shane is eliminated and Ashley takes the next lollipop point. Finally, Frank wins the veto. Lucky him. Looks like Boogie will be going home this week! 20:34Jenn, Ian and Ashley fold in the first round but stay in the game, but Boogie goes out of the task first as his guess was furthest away from the actual number of the first display. Frank gets the lollipop point. Ashley&amp;#039;s method for guessing numbers is absolutely INSANE, from picture based (&amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like where you visualise a picture and then how many pictures can fit in that picture&amp;quot;) and doubling 3D objects. Uh, okay. 20:30The housemates meet in the garden for a Candy World themed competition. Basically, it&amp;#039;s a counting game this time. They&amp;#039;ll need to earn three &amp;quot;lollipop points&amp;quot;. They&amp;#039;ll get this by guessing the amounts of candy in each display. The closest to the actual answer gets a lollipop point, while the furthest is eliminated. Players can also fold halfway and stay for the next round (though clearly, they won&amp;#039;t get any points). Why does this have to be so complicated? 20:28It&amp;#039;s time to pick players for the Power of Veto competition! Shane, Frank and Boogie are shoo-ins, but the random draw pulls out Ian (Boogie&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;housemate&amp;#039;s choice&amp;#039; - uh oh!), Ashley (Frank&amp;#039;s choice) and Jenn. 20:23Once they leave, Dan tells Britney that he&amp;#039;s close to not being able to protect Ian anymore because his own name is being dragged through the mud. Britney says that Ian is giving them good information, but Dan wonders if it matters considering that he&amp;#039;s now the top target. He says that he&amp;#039;ll take the heat for Ian so long as Ian is willing to do the same when it comes down to it. If not, Dan will throw him to the wolves. Well, then! 20:22Britney again says that she doesn&amp;#039;t want to reveal her sources, and Frank says that he doesn&amp;#039;t want her to, he just wants Dan to confess. Dan doesn&amp;#039;t answer, but eventually swears on his wife&amp;#039;s life. Frank&amp;#039;s not buying it, however, saying that Dan has lied before. Boogie thinks that Dan&amp;#039;s silence says everything, and again, they totally miss the real deal. 20:20Boogie and Dan talk, though Dan insists that he had nothing to do with the information Britney received. Dan doesn&amp;#039;t want to expose Ian as their mole, so he sort of just stays and takes it, though he maintains that he is no part of it. He goes to get Britney, and Boogie wants Frank in on the conversation too. Both of them are upstairs in the Head of Household room with Shane, so they decide to have an &amp;quot;open forum&amp;quot;. 20:14Still clueless, Boogie and Frank confide in Ian that Dan is the mastermind and should be the one they&amp;#039;re angry at rather than Britney. Ian takes this all in, calling himself &amp;quot;the wolf in sheep&amp;#039;s clothing&amp;quot; - ha! 20:13Shane and Britney then talk privately, and Britney is very unhappy that she&amp;#039;s just got a &amp;quot;verbal beatdown&amp;quot; by Boogie and Frank. She wonders why she&amp;#039;s taking full responsibility for Shane&amp;#039;s nominations, though Shane thinks he made the right decision to keep the blood off his own hands. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t come here to go down for somebody else&amp;#039;s actions,&amp;quot; she tells him, though Shane insists that he still has her best interest at heart. 20:11Britney goes down to talk to Boogie and Frank to try and do damage control, but Boogie&amp;#039;s not buying it, accusing her of being the puppetmaster. Britney insists that she can&amp;#039;t make Shane do anything that he doesn&amp;#039;t want to do and that indeed she heard that she and Shane were going to be the next targets. She comes pretty close to revealing Ian as the source of this info, but luckily, Frank and Boogie think it was Dan. 20:09Later, Shane and Britney talk in the Head of Household room, and he admits that her name came up in the conversation and she&amp;#039;s none too happy that everything has been deflected to her. She&amp;#039;s mad that she&amp;#039;s now a huge target just because she was trying to help him and encourage him to make a big move. He obviously threw her under the bus, and she totally realises that he has zero common sense because of this. 20:08Boogie says that just because Britney used to be Shane&amp;#039;s coach, she&amp;#039;s not got his best interest at heart. He also says that they can still be &amp;quot;very good friends&amp;quot; if Shane manages to fix the &amp;quot;situation&amp;quot;. Oh, whatever, get out. In any case, Boogie has the info he wants - that Britney is behind this whole thing, which is kind of true, but not really. 20:06Speaking privately, Frank and Boogie discuss feeling like &amp;quot;fools&amp;quot; now, with Boogie saying that Britney is behind the decision. However, they decide to take Shane up to the Head of Household room to find out for sure who&amp;#039;s behind it all. Shane says that he&amp;#039;s heard a lot and is &amp;quot;influenced by a lot of people&amp;quot;, and even names Joe to try to deflect the real people behind it. Boogie&amp;#039;s mind is blown, with Frank adding that he thinks Britney is behind it. Shane is then a total idiot and says that yes, Britney is behind it and they&amp;#039;re working together. What? What an idiot. 20:04Right, so Boogie and Frank are on the block, and poor Frank says they&amp;#039;ve been &amp;quot;scumbagged&amp;quot; by Shane and he feels heartbroken at the reveal. Ian, however, thinks the nominations ceremony went &amp;quot;smooth like butter&amp;quot; and hopes that Frank and Boogie never find out that he had anything to do with it.
