Let the Campaigning Begin

4:07
HOH
Michele & Natalie

Natalie comes in and flat asks Michele if she is going to put Natalie up.

Michele: It's a difficult part of the game where we are all friends. The time I gave my word, the situation was different. I have from four people to choose from.
Natalie: How far do you think Jeff is going to carry you... I mean take you in the game?
Michele: That's for me to know.
Natalie: Then it's up to the POV.
Michele: You are not my target.
Natalie: I can't tell you it's okay you putting me up. I will try to win the POV and I will take myself off. The one person I don't want to go home against is Russell. That is the only way I know you don't want me to go. If I win next week, and I will do anything I can to win. I am going to put up people who scr*wed me. And those people are Jeff and Russell.

Natalie goes on to repeat the same things said against Russell that have been said 100 times already. Natalie is giving Michele a veiled threat that if she does not put Russell up. She is insisting that Michele keep her word no matter what the circumstances were.

Michele: I regret that. I'm sorry putting that out there and not following through.

Natalie keeps pushing her to reveal her noms.

Michele: I have someone in particular who I want to go home, and the other two are pawns.
Natalie: Well I'm sure Chima will be up to talk to you. She told me that she was sure you would keep your word.
Michele: Yeah. I'm sorry she was wrong.

Now Natalie is bringing out the Jury House card and that she would not vote people who backstabbed her or Jessie. She is talking for Jessie.

Michele: If I wanted you to go home I would have voted for you to go home.
Natalie: Jeff wanted you to vote for Jessie.
Michele: I didn't know he even had or would use the Mystery Power.

Now Natalie refers to the time she said in jest "Jeff if I won't use the Mystery Power on you, you won't use it on me."

Michele: I am doing the best I can to do whatever I can do to further myself in the game. If I put you up I am giving you the opportunity to play for the Veto.
Natalie: I guess we'll see today who I am up against, then I will talk to Chima and see where we go from there. Don't forget what Russell said to you.
Michele: Everyone has said things.
Natalie: No one has gone to the level that Russell has gone. He has gone to the level that cannot be forgiven. It's one thing to attack on game level, but what he did he was on a personal level.
Michele: Ronnie said and did things to me and people who associated with him, agreed with the things he did.

Natalie brings up Braden again.

Michele: What Russell did was bad and he did it in public. Other people did it in private and were just as bad. No one is clean in this house.
Natalie: Okay do what you gotta do, and I will do what I gotta do. We have to reap the repercussions whether it is here or outside or with the Lord.
Michele: Okay stay strong...
Natalie: I can't speak for Chima but I know she has always been close to you, and has always said good things about you...

Enter Chima
and fish

Chima: Have other people been up here a lot.
Michele: No not many people have been up here.
Chima: Really? I assumed Jeff and Jordan would have been here.
Michele: Jordan slept up here.
Chima: When I was HOH, the only people that were up here were you Kevin, Natalie and Jessie.
Michele: Mhm.
Chima: Has Russell been up here?
Michele: You won't like my nominations.
Chima: I guess it will be Natalie. Who are you going to put up?
Michele: I can't say.
Chima: Can you tell me why it won't be Russell?
Michele: I need him for next week.
Chima: You really think he won't you up next week?
Michele: He lies about some things. But not everything.
Chima: You don't think I will protect you?
Michele: There will be an Endurance Comp, if I get rid of Russell, Jeff will come after me.
Chima: Jeff won't come after you. He will come after me and Natalie.

Chima goes on her Russell bashfest, that she has said repeatedly.Then she goes into saying that she took all the heat and took the brunt of it. That no one has the b*lls to put him up. That he will win the game because he will win every challenge. She is comparing him to Evil Dick. That everyone wanted him out of the house including Michele.

Chima: If he stays in the house, he will convince Jeff to come after you. Do you know who Natalie wants out of the house? Jeff and Jordan.

She brings up the female alliance, and she is pushing a F2 with Michele.

Michele: You and Natalie have the strongest bond in the house.
Chima: No Jeff and Jordan have the strongest bond. Her bond was with Jessie, she is gravitating to me now.
Michele: Natalie and Jessie had a stronger bond than Jeff and Jordan.
Chima: If I win HOH next week I am going after Jeff and Jordan. He f*cked up my nominations. Do you want to Russell to win?
Michele: I want me to win.
Chima: If you weren't win, do you want him to win?
Michele: I want the best player to win.

Chima is pushing hard, and Michele is meeting her every argument.

Chima: You have probably made up your mind.
Michele: I have had a plan since before. I just want you to know I enjoyed my times with you and they were genuine.
Chima: Well, if I win next week, I guess I have to do it myself. Bye hun.

4:45 PM BBT
Backyard
Michele, Jordan, Jeff & Russell

Michele: Chima is trying to pump with misinformation.
Russell: I can't believe her. What did you say?
Michele: I just listened.

They move on to the comp and that they accused Russell that he threw it on purpose.
Russell: That's stupid. Why wouldn't I want to eat?

Jeff is complaining about them taking up the washing machine all day. Russell and Jeff tell Jordan not to wash their dishes. That Russell was looking for the blankets for Jeff and Kevin was too afraid to tell him. Jeff is saying how he did not sleep well, he was tossing and turning and had angry dreams.

Jordan: Are you giving a speech or are you gonna.
Russell: I say give a speech because they will go at yo anyway. They are acting like 10 year olds.
Michele: For such a smart person, her logic is completely flawed.
Russell: All she talks about is her product and make-up.
Michele: She does talk about other stuff every once in a while. Politics. Russell hating.

Talk turns to food and the grill. They talk about the small table and that a lot of people don't get to see it.

Michele: Jessie didn't see it...twice.
