With one vote, here are the results:The Chenbot greets us on a Wednesday night (this is because the episode will also be an eviction show), locking in the Final Four with just a week left in the game. Adam & Shelly are currently on the block, but everything hinges on the Power of Veto (POV) competition.
As usual, we flash back to the blue-toned past to watch Cassi nominate Adam and Shelly. Once the ceremony is concluded, we get the guitar riff to color and hear the usual commentary from the peanut gallery.
Cassi tells us that she is now beginning to hope that Adam wins the PoV competition so that he can stick around till the Final 4. She's also beginning to wonder if she should keep Kalia around to the Final 4 or wait till the Final 4 to get rid of her, as Shelly's no prize in competitions either.
Shelly says that her only chance is to win the PoV or else hope that Kalia antagonizes Cassi enough that Cassi backdoors Kalia by taking either Adam or Shelly off the block. Adam thinks his best chance is to win the PoV, but thinks he has a good chance to survive even if he doesn't -- as long as the nominee beside him is either Kalia or Shelly.
Adam and Shelly sit down in the purple lounge room to discuss their situation. They think that Adam is in the best situation of the two of them: he's safe if the nominations remain the same, and even if Shelly wins the PoV Cassi will most likely backdoor Kalia and she might get rid of Kalia instead of Adam.
Meanwhile, Cassi tells Porsche in the HOH room that she is becoming tired of Kalia's antics. What's more, Kalia is more of a threat to win competitions than Adam or Shelly. But she has no intention of backdooring Kalia unless Adam or Shelly wins the PoV.
The two women agree that Kalia can't make the finals. She's just too much of a threat to both of them. They'll decide once the PoV competition is over which person they'll get rid of, assuming that one of the nominees wins the PoV, that is. If that doesn't happen, they're getting rid of Shelly.
With that, it’s time for the Veto competition. Everyone goes out to the back yard, which is decorated with a maritime theme. There are also cream pies scattered about the yard. At the top of a ramp is a giant shark.
The competition is the annual “Otev” challenge, where players have to race about the yard to bring back an object (in this case a pie plate) that has the correct answer to “Otev’s” question written on it. When Otev asks his question, the houseguests must race about the yard until they find a pie tin with the correct answer. They must then race back up the ramp (there are ropes to help them) and kneel on a small platform (shaped like a seashell to complement the theme). There will always be one less platform than there are players each round, so barring an incorrect answer, the last houseguest to arrive will be eliminated. Last one standing (or kneeling as it were) wins the POV.
Everyone gets a pre-competition confessional in the diary room, but the stakes are pretty cut and dry. Adam and Shelly want to win to take themselves off the block. Kalia wants to win to keep the nominations the same. Cassi and Porsche don't really care either way.
So let’s get started shall we? The first “pie” represents the first former winner to be evicted from the Big Brother house. Obviously that is Dicque. The players race about the yard, finding pies and wiping off the filling so they can find the right answer.
However, Kalia slips along the way and sprains her ankle! This allows Cassi, Adam, Porsche and Shelly all to beat her back. Although they all have the correct answer (Dicque), Kalia's sprained ankle ensured that she was last and thus eliminated.
As Kalia heads inside to get her ankle treated (and stuff her face), OTEV asks who the first person to leave the Big Brother house was. Adam, Cassi and Shelly all remember that it was Daniele, who had the flu. Although Porsche beats Shelly back, her pie features Keith's face and since Shelly's had Daniele's face, Porsche is eliminated.
The next question from OTEV is "Who did Jeff beat in a competition to get back in the house after his first eviction?" All three remember that it was Brendon, but Shelly is the last one back and is out.
Finally OTEV asks "Who was the HG who nominated Adam and D1ck together as HoH?" They both remember that Dominic had done that, but Adam finds a Dominic plate first and comes back to OTEV just as Cassi finds her Dominic plate:
OTEV: Congratulations, Adam. You have won the PoV.
As Adam yells and rushes over to get the medallion, Kalia accuses Cassi and Porsche of throwing the competition. Porsche insists that she simply screwed up and Cassi insists that Adam won it fair and square. Shelly is listening to all this, now hopeful that maybe Cassi and Porsche will be mad enough at Kalia to vote her out.
****************************************************************
Okay, Adam won the PoV competition and since he's not Marcellas, he's most likely going to take himself off the block. I want you to decide who will be the replacement nominee will be (even though I suspect it will be Kalia). I also want you to post the effect of Jordan's arrival on the jury house.
