At the conclusion of round three, the Agrabah Marketplace opens up, revealing a new element to the game. That money that people have been earning sporadically for sitting out vetoes or winning challenges; they can use it to further their game. Following is a link to the items available for purchase…
sux9bbagrabah.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=stall&action=display&thread=147
The Marketplace does not come without rules.
1) Each item may only be purchased once per round.
2) You may not use the power the round you buy the item.
3) You may not purchase the same item more than once per game.
4) Each item will have a minimum bid. At the end of that eviction, whoever spent the most for an item will win that item. The loser will get their money back but no item.
5) You may not bid more than you have the money for.
6) It will not be revealed at any time in the game when you specifically buy an item. However, it will be noted to the whole house which item was bought. (Unless someone uses a power).
7) It will not be revealed at any time in the game how much money you have. (Unless someone uses a power).
8) When a person is evicted, they are allowed to give their money to anyone else in the house. They may split it up if they wish.
9) You may not share or combine moneys with any other person in the game.
10) If you make it to the final HoH challenge, the remaining money you have may be used to purchase hints. Trust me...this will come in handy.

Last time in Agrabah…
• Travis and Jay continued their epic fighting
• Alliances started to really take shape (Jake/Robbie, Stacey/Jay, Michael/Eric/Steven)
• Despite Travis’ unpopularity he managed to escape eviction once again, due to Robbie’s tyrannical reign, making Chad the third evicted house guest
This round was a fast forward round. Exciting yes? For those of you who don’t know, that means that directly after Chad’s eviction we jumped into an HoH, a veto, another eviction and another HoH. Who will fall prey to this diabolical round? You shall see.
Jake doesn’t really understand Chad’s exit speech.
I was kind of surprised that Chad was booted with such a big margin. He was evicted with only one sympathy vote from God knows where and he left with a bang. He basically told Robbie that he's a douche and that he only wanted him out because he wouldn't respond to a compliment about him being cute?
It sounded only, I don't know…34 percent conceited? But whatever. He left…I didn't care... and yeah, I sat waiting patiently for the Head of Household competition.

Jordan recaps last round from his point of view.
This was quite the insane night. After being gone this weekend, I thought that I was going to possibly be targeted. Chad went home and I was fine with that. One less person I have to deal with and one more closer to jury and the end!
What I learned about that round - Travis went off on Jay for his "UK nominations" and called him out on them. Kudos Travis. We all knew the reason he was doing that were his own selfish ones. At least Travis had the balls to say something. Jay wanted Chad off the block and I guess made it known that he did? So dumb. If you want something done, you don't tell anyone about it first! You just do it! So I guess Robbie freaked out and threatened Jay that he would target him the rest of the game if Chad were to come off the block.
I love the tension between other people! It just makes them forget about me and go after each other, which just happens to work perfectly for me because now, guess what? I'm actually an important vote. Haha, I totally thought I was screwed after I got Ray out, but apparently he wasn't that loved that people totally want vengeance.

Jay confesses to Jordan that he kind of wishes he hadn’t let Robbie bully him into leaving Chad on the block. Then they worry about Travis or Jake winning the next HoH.
HoH is a quick and easy one. Three people faced off against each other to unscramble a lyric from Aladdin.
Round One: Steven, Ryan, Jake
Alex: “Well draw now, HOE”
Jake: a whole new world
Round Two: Travis, Jordan, Mike
Alex: "Filename: Irked"
Mike: a friend like me
Alex: MIKE
Round Three: Eric, Michael, Stacey
Alex: "Joanee Humped"
Eric: one jump ahead
Alex: ERIC
FINAL ROUND: Jake, Mike, Eric
Alex: "Airplace C"
Jake: Prince Ali ARABIAN NIGHTS! I’M HoH!
Alex: JAKE Congratulations.
Jake is ecstatic over his win, but annoyed that he made deals with Mike and Eric.
Prior to the competition, earlier in the day I had been talking with Jay about how I was praying for an unscramble challenge because, I would/could win it and lo and behold that's the competition. I couldn't have been happier.
I answer the first question and advanced to the final rounds while Mike and Eric - the other two kept instant messaging me trying to make deals, which out of fear, I accepted. They are two wild cards in my mind and I just wanted to be safe. I shouldn't have made those fucking deals because I ended up winning. I would have nominated one of them as the pawn and one as the replacement...but NOOOO, My fear caused me to make stupid deals. My target for this round was Steve. I find Steve boring as fuck, He's like a page from the Bible...I don't wanna read that shit, it's boring and doesn't make sense.

Stacey just seems puzzled.
Happy fast forward round! Chad left. I mean, it doesn’t really SHOCK me, but I wanted him to stay. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, I JUST WANTED MORE OF HIS MONEY THAN $10...well I didn’t even want him to stay, I just wanted Travis out, oops. Eric trusts me now. I guess he was with Chad. And since Chad liked me so much (LOL WHY?) Eric wants to work with me now…so that’s... good?
So after Chad left, WE HAD AN FF. Yay? I don't remember what the challenge was, but I sucked at it, naturally, so w/es. Jake won HoH! Yay?

Jake leads the crusade to get Steven out by making everyone promise not to vote his opponent. Among others, Jordan and Mike promise him they will vote Steven out no matter what.
Jake: I am nominating Steve. I don’t have any connection with you what so ever, Idk, we have just never clicked. And I am putting up Michael because I think you’re a safe bet to get Steve out.
Michael is not thrilled. Not at all. He shares this wonderful conversation he had with Jake before nominations…
Jake: Jordan, Jay, Robbie, Steve, Stacey and Eric all promised me they’d evict Steve.
And after…
Jake: I wouldn’t have nominated you if I didn’t think you were safe. Every other time I named someone else, like I originally said Travis, then 2 people were like TRAVIS might go!
Michael’s thoughts?
PLEASE...load of crap.
Veto is a weird game played on a board of chess. Here are Alex’s instructions…
In chess, a queen may move vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Without moving the three queens already on the board, you must place the rest of the queens on the board so that none of them interfere with each other. The first person to post the correct answer in their journal properly will become the winner of this challenge and will have the opportunity to save someone from eviction.
And here’s the board…
Michael looks at the board for like ten seconds and completes it. (Editor’s Note: Obviously exaggerating, but he worked some magic seriously fast.) Then he takes himself off the block. Jake nominates Travis in his place.
I can just see Jake glaring at his computer with a look of death.
I ended up nominating Michael which I honestly regretted. I like Michael and I would have put Eric/Mike in that position had I not made hasty decisions, but I work horrible under pressure.
I made sure to instant message EVERYONE and ask them to evict Steve and they all agreed too... And I am not kidding- I asked everyone... and everyone agreed.
The veto competition started and it was a logic puzzle and I am great at those- MY INTERNET CONNECTION craps out and I literally solved the puzzle in like 1 minute. I am confident I would have won it had I not had technical difficulties...Michael won which...was good because I would have felt like shit had he been evicted, but bad because I had to make another enemy.
So Eric is like begging me to not nominate him and frankly, I was thinking of just backdooring his ass and being done with him, but I am trying to stay true to my word as much as humanly possible. However- I just went with Travis because so far he has sucked ass at every competition and I don't find him to be threatening at all. He has no REAL friends, everyone wants him gone, and I know that if he won HoH he wants JAY and STACEY out more than me, so it was the smartest move to make.

Michael celebrates his win.
FAST FORWARD: LONG LIVE MICHAEL. I am here to fucking stay. WTF is wrong with these people? Pawning me up like I'm disposable and a safe bet to get other people evicted. So then I go work my ass off and win veto---I might have won it too fast since now I showed my actual potential. What can I say? I'm good at chess, and quite smart, if I do say so myself.
Jay and Jordan scramble to figure out who they’ll be voting out. Jake has begged Jay not to evict Travis, but Jay proposes to Jordan that they should do it anyway as he thinks Robbie/Jake/Eric/Ryan are aligned. They need Michael to swing it in their favor though, and he has refused. Jordan ponders this development.
NOW, Jake has to gather up everyone again and ask them to evict Steven and not Travis since Travis was the replacement. WOW. Now, if anyone had a brain, THIS would've been the time to get out Travis. All these fools wanted him gone before but when it comes time to it? Nobody does? Lmao, I totally thought people would lie to Jake and vote Travis out. Jay even approached me with it, but I guess Michael wanted to keep his word. Fine with me. Travis isn't going to go against me anytime soon.
Mike tries to convince Stacey to vote out Travis, but she says Jake made her promise to vote for Steven. Mike claims this is the dumbest cast he’s ever played with then apologizes for being a dick. Then he discusses voting out Travis with Michael, despite not having the votes. Michael has no qualms not keeping his word.
Final nominees: Steven and Travis. Okay, so I promised Jake I would vote out Steven, but screw that--my decisions are from coin flips. So, it was Heads for Steven, Tails for Travis, and I got tails. Ergo, my rogue vote to evict Travis. Sorry, mate. Looks like Mike agreed with me, out of spite for everyone else.
Jordan appears to have gained some knowledge from the fast forward.
What I have found out about this round - Jay/Mike/Stacey are supposedly not really an alliance anymore. Ray was the ~glue~ that held them together. Oops. My bad. But they still worked together enough to make it seem obvious that they're aligned. I think Michael is in there too somewhere. Not sure though. Robbie/Jake/possibly Ryan are together. I'm scared. Which leaves myself, Travis, Eric... I'm not sure where we fit in, honestly. I think Travis would tend to gravitate towards the Jake/Ryan alliance, and I have NO clue where I fit in. My services are up for grabs! Whoever wants to use me first.
Stacey no longer appears to be puzzled, just annoyed.
So then Jake messages me and is like 'YOU HAVEEEE TO VOTE FOR STEVEN, IF I PUT TRAVIS UP, OKAY?!'
UGH, TEMPTATION. He MADEEE Jay promise too... So we just vote for Steven. We want Robbie and Jake out…but like, you obv. can’t do that when they are HoH. So we voted out Steven. But then Mike comes to me all pissed and wants Travis out and says that he hates how dumb people are playing, after I told him that we HAD to promise Jake that we are voting Steven. Soon, these promises really aren’t going to matter. I think it's just because there isn’t this huge alliance yet that has numbers, but once that alliance DOES have numbers, the HoH that goes around and makes everyone promise that they will vote for how THEY want, is fucked.
But anyway, so Mike is all pissy. And Jay and I talk about changing our votes but then Mike says it was too late. So bai Steven.

Alex: Welcome houseguests to your second eviction of the night. Jake. You won HoH. Congratulations. How difficult was it making snap decisions?
Jake: Thanks Alex. I was telling everyone I wanted it and I think I told JAY I hoped it would be an unscramble. It was irritating to IM like every person, but whatevzies.
Jay: yeah you did Jake, you’re psychic.
Alex: Thanks Jake.
Alex: Michael. Hey.
Michael: Yo.
Alex: Congratulations. Your broke the streak of the HoH winning the veto, and you won it to save yourself...now twice saved in a row how does that feel?
Michael: Awesome I finally have MONEY and my losing streak is over done
Alex: Thanks Michael.
Alex: Mike good evening.
Mike: Hi Alexander.
Alex: How have you handled the speed of tonight's fast forward round?
Mike: I thought it was kind of chaotic. I think I got more IMs in this 20 minutes than I have all game, you know?
Alex: Thanks Mike.
Alex: Jordan, viewer question.
Jordan: Oh sweet.
Alex: What is your favorite kind of cake? Why?
Jake: Say JAKE- Jordan!
Jordan: Jake cake sounds pretty tasty.
Alex: Thanks Jordan.
Alex: And now we shall talk to the nominees. Travis. Up a second time in a row. Nervous? Does it feel different than last time?
Travis: Ummm…well you always should be nervous when you are sitting in this seat and you can potentially be eliminated. It does feel different from last time in some regards, but it’s never like a really fun feeling Alex. Hahahaha, you know, it’s like basically the last place you wanna be.
Alex: Thanks Travis.
Alex: And Steven. First time on the nomination chair. Feeling nervous at all about tonight?
Steven: Yes, since I am leaving.
Alex: Alright. I will give the nominees one last word before we'll go ahead and confirm the votes. Travis you may start.
Travis: Well I really like the movie Aladdin a lot cuz the genie is blue and funny and the wishes are cool but kinda serious too, you know?
*The cast giggles*
Alex: Thanks Travis. Steven, any last words?
Steven: Nah. Good luck everyone, hope it isn't 8-0 lol.
Alex:When I read the votes out loud the person evicted will be asked to leave immediately. In case of a tie, the HoH, Jake, will cast his vote in chat. By a vote of 6-2…
[STEVEN] you have been evicted from the big brother house.
And with that Steven walks out the door and the next HoH immediately begins. It’s the dreaded chain game. Houseguests were given one of the three wishes the evicted houseguests (or houseguests not eligible to compete in the challenge/out of the challenge) sent in with their applications. First houseguest to get it right started the chain, last person picked is out of the challenge.
Stacey and Mike discuss their chain strategy, which is basically that she/Jay/Mike always pick each other and the last one of them picks Michael. They also discuss how Alex has had Stacey in his sex dreams. They both agree he’s always in their dreams. Interesting.
