LAST EDITED ON 10-04-11 AT 08:49 PM (EST)We have a unanimous vote, so here are the results:
After Cassi won the HOH competition, she & Dominic celebrate in the Diary Room. Dominic promises that the veterans are going down, while Cassi's just happy that she's not a target. On the other hand, Brendon's really worried, as he and Rachel are the number one targets now that Dicque has the Golden Key.
Adam, Cassi, Dominic, Lawon and Porsche celebrate in the candy room while Kalia and Shelly look on. Cassi takes particular joy in Radon's misery. "Did you see the looks on their faces?" she asks. Shelly smiles as she has no love for Rachel.
Meanwhile, the veterans all commiserate in the Have Not room. Dicque advises the other veterans to be nice to Cassi & Dominic as they have the power. Jeff & Jordan agree although Jeff says that it'll be hard for him since he thinks Dominic is gunning for him.
But Radon only wants to wallow in their misery. They have no intention of being nice. When Dicque insists, Rachel actually mocks him. This starts a huge argument between Dicque and Rachel, with Brendon cheering Rachel on. Finally, Dicque stalks out and in a confessional, claims that he's done with Radon from now on.
Jeff & Jordan then try to cheer up Radon but they too leave. In the Diary Room, Jeff says that if Radon wants to go ahead and hang themselves, he won't stop them. He's just going to try to save himself & Jordan.
Dicque enters the candy room, followed by Jeff & Jordan. Jeff asks Cassi if she'll keep him & Jordan safe. Cassi tells him that although she doesn't want him & Jordan to go home, she might put them up so they can win the Veto and save themselves so she can backdoor Radon.
Jeff isn't happy to hear this but Cassi reassures him that she wants him & Jordan safe. That's when Radon enters and Rachel starts threatening Cassi. She tells Cassi that she'll make sure Cassi goes home before Rachel herself does.
Jeff & Jordan try to calm Rachel down but Brendon eggs Rachel on. Cassi says that at one point she was prepared to think that Rachel was getting a bum rap, but now she knows that this is the true Rachel. And she tells Brendon that she won't let him walk all over her either.
Radon leaves and heads into the storage room, where Brendon tells Rachel that if they wind up on the block and they fail to win the Veto, that he'll sacrifice himself so she can stay in the house and get the Golden Key.
In a confessional, he reveals that the reason he returned was because Rachel wanted to return. He wants her to continue on and whip the newbies, so he'll throw himself on his own sword for her. Back in the storage room, Radon proceeds to make out.
The next day, Dicque sees Cassi in the purple lounge room. In private, he says that Radon's going to pull the other veterans down with them and he's not going down with the ship. He's going to make other plans.
So he asks Cassi to keep him safe once the Golden Key expires in return for his voting with those newbies that aren't working with the veterans. Cassi says that if he votes her way, she'll help him get to the jury at least. He agrees and they shake hands on it.
He then leaves and finds Adam in one of the other bedrooms. He asks Adam if the Final 2 deal Adam offered is still good. Adam assures him that it is and Dicque reveals that he's going to take Adam up on it. Adam is delighted and they shake hands.
Meanwhile, in another bedroom, Jeff & Jordan decide that they are going to focus most of their attention on their alliance with Shelly. They're seriously considering letting one of Radon go as Radon is just plain nuts.
Radon are continuing to make out, only they are in the Have Not room. They plan to keep to themselves and not mingle with the other houseguests -- especially Cassi. Rachel wants nothing to do with Cassi now or ever.
Cassi gets the key to the HOH room and everyone goes up to see it -- except Radon. She gets the usual gift basket of food and other goodies. She also has two pictures of herself at home. One is with her parents, the other is of her four-wheeling, which surprises just about everyone.
Cassi reads her letter from home, written by her parents. They tell her that they love her, that every thing is fine back home and they hope that she's doing well. It's short and sweet and makes Shelly nearly cry while hoping for the day she is HOH and can get a letter from home as well.
The houseguests gradually file out, leaving Cassi & Dominic alone. Cassi notes that Radon didn't visit the HOH room and she notes that if they weren't such good competitors she'd put them up right from the start. But they are, so she's trying to figure out how to backdoor them.
There are two things in the house that Brendon has taken a real shine to. The first is his spandex superhero outfit from last week’s POV competition. The other is a plastic toy turtle which he has dubbed “Franklin.” He calls Franklin the house pet and shows him off to some cameras in the back yard, all while wearing his superhero outfit.
A fake comic book adventure ensues, where Dominic, as the villain (wearing a towel as a cape and swinging a pool cue like a sword), kidnaps Franklin. A fake slow-mo fight ensues as Brendon defeats Dominic (by giving him a wedgie) and rescues Franklin. In private, Dominic says he’s trying to play social to get in good with the veterans, and if that means he has to sacrifice a little dignity, it’s worth it. After the hero smites Dominic, he puts Franklin on his shoulder and gives a speech before the two dance.
Meanwhile, Cassi is talking to Jeff & Jordan. She asks them what they would do if she put them up with the intention of having them win the Veto so she could backdoor Radon and one of them won the HOH next time.
Jeff tells her that he'll go after her unless she swears that she will only nominate Jeff & Jordan as a way to backdoor Radon and if she and whoever competes for the POV competition agree to throw the competition to him & Jordan.
Cassi agrees to the whole thing but says that she'll get the other pair to throw it only if it isn't Radon who competes. Jeff says that it's fair and they shake hands. In private, Cassi says that the only reason she'd even consider this approach is that she fears Radon will win the Veto if she nominates them directly.
Out in the back yard, Shelly begs Dominic to keep her safe. He says that Cassi's really after Radon, not Shelly. However, he makes her squirm a little by pointing out that she'd promised to be with the newbies but flipped. She explains that her girl loves Jeff & Jordan so much.
Later in the candy room Adam, Cassi, Dominic, Lawon and Porsche all discuss who will be going up. Everyone wants Radon to go up -- including Cassi. However, she fears Radon's prowess in competitions and wants to backdoor them. This means putting up a suitable target. Dicque is out since he has the Golden Key, so she's leaning towards Jeff & Jordan.
Later, Cassi comes out of the storage room dressed as a giant ant for the Have/Have Not competition. After everyone else suits up, she leads them into the back yard, which has been decorated with lots of shrubbery and a large picnic blanket. On the blanket are four rows of what appears to be a food-based obstacle course. There are oversized hot dogs, cans of baked beans, crackers, sandwiches, and large ant hills at the end.
The competing duos are tied to each other at the ankles and must share an ant costume. Here’s how the challenge will work. Each pair will traverse the obstacle course, aiming for a picnic basket on the other end. They will then grab an oversized “food crumb,” and bring it back to their ant hill. The first duo to do this four times will win the competition and be given “Have” status. They will then choose which two duos will be the “Have Nots.”
The competition begins and right away it's clearly a contest between two pairs. Brendon and Rachel throw caution to the wind and just plow over obstacles, while Adam and Porsche do their best to keep up. Lawon & Shelly are way behind and Jeff & Jordan are barely moving.
Radon are the first to get a “crumb” to the finish (complete with Rachel giggling about how she likes to be “on the bottom”) followed by Adam & Porsche. They get their second crumb just as Lawon & Shelly get their first and before Jeff & Jordan even get their first. Despite Adam & Porsche's best efforts, Radon wins the challenge!
Once every team is done, Radon yells at Jeff & Jordan. They are convinced Jeff & Jordan threw the challenge. In private, Jeff admits that he & Jordan did throw the challenge, as they didn't want to be the ones to decide who would be Have Nots for the week.
Rachel says in confessional that she was seriously tempted to make Jeff & Jordan Have Nots. However, loyalty triumphs over anger and Radon choose Adam & Porsche and Lawon & Shelly to be the Have Nots for the week. Adam is disappointed because he won't have any bacon.
****************************************************************
Okay, Adam & Porsche and Lawon & Shelly are going to be Have Nots for the week (and will have jellybeans and jerky as the supplements for their diet). Now it's time for you to decide who will be the nominees. I'll take votes until tomorrow afternoon and the pair with the most votes will be nominated.
