Ian has it.

Pandora triggered a competition, mostly played in the backyard. So far, we know three things happened:

* Dan went total jerk in full public sight, threatening to rat Ian out -- apparently among other things. Ian may have confronted Dan from his side and currently feels like crap for doing so (or is acting that way). This has finally cast a negative light on Dan's actions in the cage.

* Frank won 3K.

* Ian got a very weird trick -- a Veto ball.

This does not mean the standard Veto is out of play: the competition is tomorrow and Ian can't play in it: he's not allowed to hold both. This presumably applies even if he's nominated. Ian may use the ball to void out one nomination, as usual: timespan unknown, probably just this week. But if he does, Frank says Britney goes up -- and this may even be automatic as a condition of the power instead of a Frank threat. No matter who comes down, if it isn't Britney being saved, then Britney is on the block. And if it is Britney? No idea. Britney wins the Veto and uses it, making her immune from nomination? Not a clue. Does Ian use it at the nominations? The Veto meeting? Again, this is a BB twist and the concept of the rats having worked it all out is a joke -- but the feeds just came back a few minutes ago and the hamsters are still trying to sort through events. Dan is trying to come up with scenarios where the entire Quack Pack can stay off the block if everything breaks their way. Let him dream for a while.

More coming in... Shane destroyed something while looking around and got a bag -- coins? Could be the garbage can. Could be the toilet. Might have been both.

Okay, it sounds like the arcade machine came into play. They might have had to find gold coins in the house and feed them in: whatever ball came out was what you won. The others have been saying that Dan was out for only himself in this, and it now appears he hoarded coins and refused to share them out with anyone in his alliance(s), Danielle most especially included.

The chaos needs some time to shake out. Expect nominations to be late.
