Zingbot for President! That was the theme for this week’s prize and punishment exchange competition. We’ve seen this particular challenge many times over the years, but it’s always one of our favorite Power of Veto comps. Having Zingbot in the house to hand out its infamous ‘zingers’ to the houseguests just makes it even more fun!

As usual, Zingbot handed out zingers both lame and awesome, including telling Corey he “cant’ sweep Nicole off her feet” because her former Big Brother showmance boyfriend Hayden Moss “already did that.” Oh, and probably our favorite of the night, when Zingbot called Paulie “the poor man’s Cody.” Ouch! Although Paul’s zinger was just as awesome: “Paul, you have a lot of catch phrases. Your boy, friendship, pissed. I have one we can all get behind. STFU!”

In the Power of Veto Competition, the players passed prizes and punishments back and forth throughout the day. Poor, desperate Paulie actually had the Power of Veto in his hands at one point, before it got taken away. In the end, it was Head of Household Victor who managed to grab the PoV as well. As for the other prizes and punishments:

James: $5,000
Nicole: Trip to anywhere in the U. S. (she wants to go to Hawaii)
Corey: A week in the Patriotard.

Paul: Dressed like a secret service agent and has to hit “checkpoints” that are located throughout the house and report all is clear when he hears “Red Alert”.

Paulie: Must wear a silly patriotic chef’s outfit and bake an apple pie whenever he hears a Zingbot tune of “oh say can you zing”.

From what we’ve seen on the Big Brother Live Feeds, everyone has taken their punishments well except for Paulie, who has complained and b*tched about it the whole time. He refused to do it, and gotten yelled at and dragged into the Diary Room for a talking to. He finally did one, but then refused to do the next one and got yelled at again. He finally agreed to do it, but then claimed he only did it so production could get their camera shots for TV. He’s the one being a total “el douchebag” right now.

As for the Power of Veto Ceremony, once we found out Victor has won the PoV, it was pretty much a given what would happen. The house has decided it wants Paulie out, and Victor is leading the charge (with Paul in his ear). So Victor did not use the Veto, leaving Paulie and Corey on the block. Unless a miracle happens, Paulie will be voted out on Thursday night, and we’ll find out if he is lucky enough to have that Round Trip ticket back into the house.
