Big Brother 8- Zach Realizes He's in a Game...But is it Too Late?

jessica "proposes" a back door eviction

Amber and Zach are nominated for eviction. Who will win the Power of Veto, and will they use it to save one of the nominees/backdoor one of the non-nominees?

But first, we get to see Daniele and Amber on the Power of 10! Amber somehow beats Daniele to get to the second round. There, she risks $10,000 to go for $100,000 and ends up with just $1,000. Daniele learns that if she had gotten to the next round, she would have seen Nick, and gets emotional. Seriously, I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt with this boyfriend of hers, but dude is screwed.

Eric and Jessica's showmance moves to the next step, when (after an excruciatingly long debate about it) Eric kisses her. Aww. He overthinks so she doesn't have to think at all. 

It an all-around good time for Eric: with only 7 players left, he finally gets the opportunity to play in a Veto competition, while Dick sits out as the host. The backyard is all decked out like a swamp. Hidden around the swamp are rats with the answers to questions that a talking cat asks the contestants. After each clue is given, they run out into the swamp, hoping to "feed" the cat the right answer, with the last player back eliminated. 

Eric wins the veto on his first try, which seems to cement house girlfriend Jessica's nominations. Or does it? With Zach and Jameka's encouragement, Jessica starts to think it'd be smart to backdoor Daniele- that this might be their big chance, and passing it up will be something they regret.

Whether it's due to America's desire to boot Amber or Eric's selfish thought that she is his greatest threat, Eric decides to keep the noms as they are.
