"Things change quickly in the Big Brother house, and while Shane was on the chopping block last week, this week he&amp;#039;s the one with all the power .Having put Janelle&amp;#039;s players on the block on Sunday he&amp;#039;s certainly caused a rift, but they could still turn things around. Tonight, Ashley and Joe will get a chance to participate in the Power of Veto competition to save themselves... but will they succeed? Stay with Digital Spy live from 8/7c to find out!  20:56Well, that&amp;#039;s it for tonight! Tomorrow night (August 2), someone - Frank or Joe - will be heading home from the game. But who will it be? Join us at 9/8c to find out! 20:55Frank was slightly surprised but &amp;quot;kinda saw it coming&amp;quot; and insists that he&amp;#039;s not going to panic. Shane hopes that Frank isn&amp;#039;t pissed and wants to convince him that he&amp;#039;s not the target (even though he&amp;#039;s not). Janelle wants to start &amp;quot;jumping up and down&amp;quot; with the news - especially because Boogie is pretty upset. She&amp;#039;s sure she&amp;#039;s the new puppetmaster, while Boogie says that no one who goes against him will fare well in this game. Oh, get over yourself, Boogie. 20:54It&amp;#039;s time for the Veto meeting, and Shane&amp;#039;s out of time to decide what he&amp;#039;ll do. After both Ashley and Joe are given the chance to give their same old schpiel about why they should stay - though Joe does give a rousing &amp;quot;be like a president&amp;quot; speech that amuses his fellow housemates.  Finally, Shane announces that he&amp;#039;s going to use the PoV on... Ashley! Well, that&amp;#039;s a tough one. But that means someone else is going up on the block, and guess who it is? Frank. Ouch! 20:47Britney wants to break up the meeting, though, because she doesn&amp;#039;t want Frank trying to manipulate Shane. Frank insists that Ian was only weird with Britney as Boogie hasn&amp;#039;t told him what to do.  Britney thinks that someone from Boogie&amp;#039;s team needs to go up, and Frank suggests Ian as it might make him wake up and be more active in the competition. Shane is pretty overwhelmed with the choice and really isn&amp;#039;t sure what to do. 20:46Because of this change, Shane thinks that he&amp;#039;s got to take Joe&amp;#039;s offer and save him to backdoor Frank in order to save himself, lest he be put on the block next week. It&amp;#039;s a risky move, but he&amp;#039;s certainly thinking about it. Frank then pulls Shane aside to make sure everything&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;honkey dory&amp;quot; for the PoV ceremony, but Shane admits that he&amp;#039;s a little bit unsure and throws out some random voting scenarios. He wants to make sure that Frank isn&amp;#039;t going to be mad if he puts him up as a replacement nominee. 20:42After the party, Britney finds herself getting a bit of alone time with Ian, in which he tells her that there&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;not a forseeable circumstance&amp;quot; that he would nominate Shane. Britney&amp;#039;s not so happy with that answer as it means he could very well go against her final remaining player in the future. She then goes inside and relays that information to Shane as she&amp;#039;s a bit worried and freaked out. 20:41The party gets a bit racy when Ian gives Ashley a little peck. But the biggest kiss of the evening happens between Shane and Danielle as the housemates look on and shout their approval. Both are happy with the little moment of intimacy and hope it&amp;#039;ll happen again. 20:40Shane gets to enjoy a sushi party with the coaches and Danielle - it&amp;#039;s not out of the kindness of his heart, it&amp;#039;s basically to keep the coaches away from the players while he&amp;#039;s not around. Inside, however, it&amp;#039;s Wil&amp;#039;s birthday, so he decides to throw a makeshift party and dance around in tiny Speedo bottoms as they all drink wine and beer. The coaches then bring the desserts in to join the celebrations. 20:35Janelle then goes downstairs and insists that Joe go up and speak to Shane, even if it means he has to kiss ass this week, as it&amp;#039;s his only chance of getting Shane to considering using the veto. Joe does indeed go upstairs, and says that he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;hanging off a cliff&amp;quot; and that if Shane doesn&amp;#039;t save him, he&amp;#039;ll be loyal to him going forward.  He promises that he&amp;#039;ll stick with him outside of anything his own coach wants going forward and says that it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;life or death&amp;quot; for him. Still, Shane isn&amp;#039;t so sure he can trust him as he knows that Joe can be very manipulative - despite the fact that Joe promises he&amp;#039;d take his own team out and admits in the diary room that he means every word. 20:28Of course, Janelle heads upstairs to try and convince Shane to use the PoV and take one of her players out. She says that her own players &amp;quot;can&amp;#039;t win anything&amp;quot; and that Frank is a much bigger threat.  Britney says that she&amp;#039;s not sure Janelle&amp;#039;s players even want to work with Shane but Janelle insists that they do - despite the fact that Joe previously claimed that he was on Shane&amp;#039;s side and then tried to vote him out. Soon after, Wil and Ashley also come up to join the talk, and Britney is annoyed as she&amp;#039;d rather just relax and enjoy their evening. 20:26Shane is on top of the world with his Power of Veto win, and Britney is pleased, as well. It&amp;#039;s basically up to him who goes home this week. so it gives him a little leeway in who he makes deals with. Britney thinks the poor attitude of Janelle&amp;#039;s players is &amp;quot;so annoying&amp;quot; as Janelle still has three on her team. She also insists that she can&amp;#039;t stand hearing Joe come up and complain again and won&amp;#039;t sit through it. 20:20Wil is the first one out when one of his balls fall - much to his frustration. Joe&amp;#039;s out pretty soon after, as well, followed by Frank. Soon after, Danielle drops one of hers and it&amp;#039;s down to Ashley and Shane. Finally, Ashley drops her last ball, giving Shane the win and the Power of Veto. That doesn&amp;#039;t bode well for Joe! 20:18It&amp;#039;s a circus-themed competition this time around, complete with clown costumes and cotton candy. Each of the players must roll two balls - one per ramp - at the same time. They must do this continually without letting either of their balls drop to the ground, as they&amp;#039;ll be eliminated if they do. The last player standing wins the Power of Veto. Uh oh!. 20:15It&amp;#039;s time to pick players for the veto competition! Obviously, it&amp;#039;s Shane, Ashley and Joe... but who else? After a random draw, it&amp;#039;s determined that Danielle, Wil and Frank. Janelle is pleased that all of her players are in on the action, but Frank&amp;#039;s name being drawn isn&amp;#039;t such good news for Joe. Jenn is chosen as the host for the task. 20:10Joe heads up to the Head of Household room to chat with Shane, Britney and Danielle and remains falsely positive. Joe says that he wants to work with Shane as he&amp;#039;s the toughest competitor in the game. Shane insists that Joe should have learned earlier, and Joe finally breaks and admits that he&amp;#039;s mad and it &amp;quot;sucks&amp;quot; being on the block. Shane doesn&amp;#039;t want it to be awkward between them, but Joe is insistent that he&amp;#039;ll win the Power of Veto and come after him. 20:08That evening, Shane and Britney discuss Shane&amp;#039;s nomination decision, and she thinks it&amp;#039;s fine either way. She then relays her conversation with Janelle, saying that Janelle would still be willing to work with him should one of her players actually win the PoV this week.  Downstairs, Janelle talks to Joe, Ashley and Wil and urges them to &amp;quot;play nice&amp;quot; with Shane in the hopes of saving themselves. Wil is hesitant as he doesn&amp;#039;t want to come off as an &amp;quot;ass-kisser&amp;quot; but Janelle insists that it&amp;#039;s important to keep calm to hopefully try and convince Shane to put Frank on the block. Joe isn&amp;#039;t too convinced and isn&amp;#039;t sure he can do it, though. He&amp;#039;s fuming! 20:05Boogie is smug, claiming that it was his &amp;quot;gift of the gab&amp;quot; which convinced Shane to put Janelle&amp;#039;s players up. Later, Janelle speaks to Britney and says that she&amp;#039;s not mad at Britney, but instead is worried that Shane will get manipulated, something she doesn&amp;#039;t want to happen. It&amp;#039;s clearly a load of bull, and even Britney sees this, noticing that Janelle is being fake and is working hard at playing the game. However, she doesn&amp;#039;t let Janelle know that she&amp;#039;s in on the secret. 20:04Shane is certain that he&amp;#039;s made the right decision in going after Janelle&amp;#039;s team - but that doesn&amp;#039;t go over well with Joe, who feels like he&amp;#039;s now the biggest target in the house. Even Ashley is dumbfounded as she trusted Shane and never would have thought she&amp;#039;d be on the block. Janelle is panicked and says that since she&amp;#039;s being targeted, it&amp;#039;s time for her to &amp;quot;get to work&amp;quot;. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
