Erika wins the Power of Veto.

Erika does not use the Power of Veto on either Nakomis or Diane.

The HouseGuests decide to name the tarantulas. They name the “little one” Cowboy; the “ugly” one is christened Monica and the scruffy, hairy arachnid is called “Bunky, (because he) is the hairiest.” Marcellas decrees that “the pretty one can be Lisa.”

Janelle and Marcellas thought the houseguests looked like they were out of a soap opera and gave a character to many of the guests:

(from the CBS recap)
Janey and Marcellas entertain themselves late one night by admiring their photographs on the Memory Wall. “We’re a good looking cast. We look like a soap opera!” Janey gushes about their appeal. “A crazy soap opera,” Marcellas corrects her. Deciding to indulge in an impromptu casting session, they assign each of the HouseGuests a character. “Look at Will’s picture, he’s like the evil (manipulator).” Janey points to Erika, casting her as the “sultry brunette.” Marcellas gives Diane “the trashy girl” role, while poor George is cast as the ever-suffering janitor, Mr. Clean. Howie is cast as the “perverted guy in the office who’s always grabbing people’s asses,” and is put in charge of shipping by Marcellas. Marcellas then gives Mike “Boogie” a meaty role as the straight appearing guy who is actually “having a clandestine relationship with (Marcellas).” “Brilliant!” he squeals.

Howie forgets his towel while taking a shower in the HOH bedroom, and goes nude on Live Feed.
