"Blah blah blah, Girl Power." -- Mel B., "Spice World."

We offer you the above two quotes as a quick summation of Wednesday night's (Aug. 27) episode of "Big Brother 4." That's a little cryptic, though, so let's go a little further, shall we?

The first quote could be applied to this week's Head of Household, Jee. After capturing both the veto power and the extra food privileges in successive competitions, the Three Stooges member might as well have had a sign saying "Et tu, (Insert Name Here)" taped to his back.

He wins no points with the home audience after his half-hearted (at best), it's-just-part-of-the-game explanation for his actions with host Julie Chen -- who, by the way, is dressed rather tastefully in a brown top that sparkles only from certain angles and a matching skirt. (Her hair is another matter: It looks like Jennifer Aniston's circa 1995.) He says he didn't throw the food competition to Jack because he wanted the retired FBI man weak for the coming HoH competition.

Not so fast there, pardner. There's the little matter of a budding alliance between the three remaining women. As always, Alison, who accurately nicknamed herself "The Plague" in Tuesday's show, is less than fully committed, and we get an extremely long montage of her going around blabbing everyone's secrets to everyone else. (All together now: Duh.)

All that is rendered somewhat tolerable, however, when it leads into a segment featuring Ali's outside-the-house boyfriend, Donny. The wide receiver at Division II Bloomsburg (Pa.) University rants -- deservedly so -- about how Alison has "destroyed my feelings" with her actions on the show.

"There are times where I can't stand the sight of her," he says, adding that he takes a little bit of pleasure in seeing her cry, because she probably knows she screwed up on the relationship tip.

"If we make it through this, we'll be stronger than ever," Donny concludes, "but I wouldn't take those odds in Vegas right now."

If by now you're thinking "Get back to the game already," well, so was I. Finally, Rachel -- I mean Julie -- summons the three eligible voters to the diary room. Robert votes to boot his ex, Erika, while Jun and Alison keep the Girl Power promise and send Jack packing. It makes sense for them, but we're sorry to see the last nice guy in the game get the hook. To his credit, Jack is gracious and humble in his exit.

So, for perhaps the first time in the 54 days of "BB4," we see Alison keep a promise. Which brings up this question: Since she broke a fake promise to Robert and Jee to vote Erika out, does the fact that she lived up to her words with the other women really count?

Next is the HoH competition/corporate synergy portion of the program. Jun wins the Concentration-style game in which players had to remember items that had disappeared from the house in recent days. This causes much rejoicing among the women and draws rueful looks from Jee and Robert, who was barely even in the game.

Julie then summons Jun to the diary room for the Shocking Twist. It turns out she's being whisked off to the MTV Video Music Awards on Thursday -- hosted by Chris Rock and airing live at 8 p.m. ET, good Viacom soldier Julie dutifully notes. She leaves via a secret door in the diary room, so the remaining four housemates don't know she's gone. We assume they've figured it out by now.

If not, they can always call in Jack Malone and his crack "Without a Trace" team.
