After the competition, Dicque heads to the HoH Room to make a sales pitch. He says to Dominic, "Dominic, I might be dumb but I'm not stupid. I know damn well I'm the target, and I know you're not gonna risk anybody from your side till you have to, so you're gonna put up Shelly or Jordan, and I suspect you're gonna pick Jordan to ensure you get me out. But you might wanna think this one through before you do that. Sure, if you do that, my a$$ is gra$$, because when you're picking between two former winners and one is as sweet as a truckload of sugar and the other is mean, nasty old Evil D!ck, I'm gonna lose, and it's probably gonna be five-zero. But do you really want to take me out? If you let her stay in with me gone, and she wins when she has to and makes the final against you, you're screwed and you know it. But if you nominate Shelly instead, you can take her out which is good for your side because she's been floating like a cork all game long and can't be trusted, and you keep me in and can use me as a final two goat, because if you did you'd beat me 7-0 with this crowd as jurors."Dominic smiles and says to Dicque, "I'm not stupid either, Dicque. I know all about your season and I know you got five votes in the final, that after being a miserable sonofab1tch for 70-something freakin' days. Anybody who's capable of that, I want out of this house." Dicque argues with him for several minutes but his arguments appear to fall on deaf ears.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the Have-not Room, Adam, Jordan and Shelly are huddling. Jordan says "I'm pretty nervous about this PoV meeting. When you take yourself off the block, I'm 100% sure Dominic is gonna backdoor me." Adam says, "Yeah, that sucks, but I gotta do what I gotta do to cover my a$$, just in case."
"Oh, I know that's true", says Jordan, "but pawns sometimes go home." "Dom has to get Dicque out if he has any brains," says Adam, "Dicque got 5 votes last time after spending 70+ days being as mean as a rattlesnake, so Dom would be stupid not to put up the one person he can't beat." "Can't beat me, sure" says Jordan, "I'll feel a whole lot safer about that after the vote Thursday."
Cassi goes in to check on Jordan and reassures Jordan that if Dominic backdoors her in place of Adam, Cassi will vote out Dicque. Cassi wants Dicque out even more than Dominic. Jordan thanks her.
Adam prepares for the PoV commentary, and we get the usual commentary. He admits that although he's sad that Jordan will go up in his place, he isn't going to risk his game safety once he has it.
Cassi says that she's going to keep her word to Jordan to save her and vote out Dicque. She's also going to convince Kalia and Porsche to do the same thing. Dominic regrets that a real sweetheart will be going up against Dicque, but that's the best way to get rid of Dicque.
Dicque says that his only chance to survive is if he's up against Shelly, but he's no dummy. He's sure Jordan's going up against him. Jordan also is sure she's going up against Dicque but she is more worried than he is that she'll be going home if she's put up.
After the usual outdoor lockdown, Adam calls the HG in for the veto meeting. He begins with the normal opening speech, then says, "Because my name is not Marcellas either, I am now vetoing my nomination for eviction."
Dominic gets up and says "When you have the chance to cut the head off a snake, you had better put yourself in the best possible position to whack the head off without getting bit. In furtherance of that objective, I hereby nominate Jordan, who is anything but a snake, for eviction this week."
Adam then says, "This veto meeting is adjourned", and puts the veto medallion back in its box. As they get up, Dicque says, "So I'm a snake, huh?" and an ugly argument breaks out between him and Dominic and they have to be separated.
In the DR Dicque says a lot of ugly things about Dominic and then Dominic in the DR says that if he weren't already certain Dicque was getting evicted, his a$$hole behavior after the veto meeting would have sealed his doom for sure. Cassi plans to avoid Dicque as much as possible. Jordan just hopes that Dicque continues to hang himself.
****************************************************************
Okay, Jordan is now up alongside Dicque. Now I want you to decide which one will go home -- Dicque or Jordan, hopefully Dicque. I'll take votes until tomorrow and the person with the most votes will be going home.
