ATTENTION HOUSEGUESTS. WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY ON OUR HANDS. It seems that the famed crook Carmen San Diego has enlisted the help of a Big Brother 16 Houseguest to steal THE GOLDEN POWER OF VETO. Houseguests, if we do not get that Veto back.... we will have no choice but to revert to the SILVER Power of Veto D: I'm enlisting YOU to help us track down the thief and get back our PoV. You will be playing a game of Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? on Skype with a host. You have until Saturday, August 2nd at 10PM EST. More information will be given when you contact a host on Skype. 

Please, HURRY HOUSEGUESTS. Carmen San Diego must be stopped!
