Okay, one team will win the Veto, but there's a tie between two teams as to who will compete with Cassi & Dominic and Jeff & Jordan. I'll break the tie:

After the nomination ceremony, Jeff notes in the Diary Room that he really hopes Radon doesn't get to compete in the POV competition. He needs either himself or Jordan to win the Veto. If that doesn't happen, he's sunk.

Jordan's determined to win the Veto to make sure Jeff sticks around. Meanwhile, Cassi also expresses the hope that Radon doesn't get to compete for the Veto. If they don't do so, it'll be much easier for Jeff & Jordan to win and for her to backdoor her true targets -- Radon.

Rachel thanks Cassi for saving her and Brendon and then trashes Jeff & Jordan in the Diary Room. She & Brendon had told them to try to win the Have Not competition, but they threw it. She doesn't want anything to do with people who won't try their hardest to win.

In one of the bedrooms, Dicque encourages Jeff & Jordan to win the Veto. He really likes them and wants them to stick around more than Radon. The person Dicque wants out most is Rachel although he wouldn't mind seeing Brendon go home either. He adds in the Diary Room that he now knows why people despised Rachel in her season.

Kalia and Shelly join the trio. Shelly encourages Jeff & Jordan to win the Veto as well, claiming that if she & Lawon are also in the POV competition, she'll throw it so that Jeff & Jordan can win. This makes Jeff & Jordan both smile, since one less person who's really trying only improves their odds.

Adam, Lawon and Porsche join Cassi in the HOH room. Cassi asks them if they're willing to throw the POV competition if they get to compete. Lawon's willing. Adam says he might not have to depending on what type of competition it is. Porsche agrees with Adam on it. Cassi is happy.

Meanwhile, Radon are making out in the purple lounge room and trashing Jeff, Jordan, Cassi & Dominic. They are still furious that Jeff & Jordan chose to throw the Have Not competition and say that unless Jeff & Jordan apologize, they're done with them.

They then turn to Cassi & Dominic. Brendon's bashing Dominic, pointing out that Dominic's the ringleader of the newbies' alliance and will stop at nothing to get rid of the veterans. He's just mad that Dominic can't be taken care of this week.

However, Rachel hates Cassi even more. She calls Cassi shady and fake, saying that Cassi pretends to be real with people while going around spreading lies. In private, Jordan thinks that Rachel is jealous of Cassi and that's why she's got this vendetta against Cassi.

We then see Rachel attempting to find Dicque and/or Kalia so she can bash Cassi all she wants to them. She finds Dicque but as she begins bashing Cassi, Dicque says that Rachel is the one who's fake and spreading lies. He says that he'll have nothing to do with her and runs off.

Dicque is clearly fuming about it when he's in the Diary Room. Although he isn't fond of Dominic, he thinks Cassi is a sweet, genuine girl and is mad that Rachel has an insane vendetta against Cassi. He thinks that with Rachel and/or Brendon gone, things will be a lot calmer.

However, Rachel does manage to find an ally in Kalia when she goes to bash Cassi. They spend much of their time calling her fake and shady. However, in private Kalia says that she's only pretending to go along with what Rachel says because she wants to stay on Rachel's good side just in case.

Jeff is then in the Diary Room. He says that Rachel gets way too into this game, and there comes a point where everyone puts the game talk aside and relaxes, except for Rachel (and to a lesser extent, Brendon). In a fairly apt comparison, Jeff likens Rachel to a gnat that constantly buzzes in your face and ears that you can’t get rid of. He wants to buy some “Rachel-Off,” and spray it all over himself to get rid of her.

The next day, Jordan is in the HOH room with Cassi. Jordan tells Cassi that a lot of people are talking trash about her, and she thinks it’s because Cassi is pretty. Jordan also says that being beautiful is both a blessing and a curse.

Cassi seems to agree, noting that some women get jealous and insecure around her. However, the more frustrating aspect of this is that when women get catty, she doesn’t respond. She doesn’t play their little game, which pisses them off further.

Jordan then notes that Rachel likes to be the center of attention, and she turns her hatred and bile toward anyone who might draw attention away from her. Cassi notes that this is why she didn't want to reveal that she was a model in the first place. She didn't want any pettiness or drama.

With that, it’s time to select the players for the POV competition. In a slight change from previous seasons, while the game remains in the couples stage, the POV will be played by the nominated pair, the HOH and their partner, and one more pair drawn randomly. Cassi gets the honors and draws Lawon & Shelly out of the bag, much to Radon's frustration.

As the house prepares for the POV, Cassi & Dominic are talking in the HOH room. Cassi asks Dominic if he's willing to throw the POV competition so that Jeff & Jordan can save themselves. She really wants Radon up and she's willing to not go for the Veto if it means one of Radon goes home.

Dominic isn't so thrilled with the plan. He would much rather have Jeff out. However, Cassi points out that both Rachel & Brendon are big threats. What's more, the house will be a lot calmer with one of them gone. Dominic has to agree with her on that and thus agrees to throw it.

Lawon & Shelly are also talking. They are willing to throw the competition, although they both note that it might be one of those competitions that they might not have to throw! Lawon tells us in private that he's willing to work with Shelly in this area, but he can't trust her in other areas.

With that, it’s time for the Veto competition. Dicque comes out wearing a crown and a cape, holding what appears to be an all-day sucker lollipop with bandanas hanging from it. The back yard is decorated with lots of candy and gumballs (Jeff jokes that he’ll have to see a dentist after the challenge is over). The players all have on different colored shirts and bandanas (each matching a balance beam in the grass), implying that this is an individual competition.

Here’s how the competition will work: First, Dicque confirms that this is an individual challenge (Jordan notes in the Diary Room that she thinks either she or Jeff will do well). Each player will walk across the balance beam to a jar full of gumballs. They will take one ball at a time, and chew it while walking back across the beam to a canvass on their platform. They must then place the chewed wad of gum on the board on one of several “x” marks that, when complete, will form a Veto symbol. There is a catch, however. If at any point a player falls off their beam, they are eliminated. They will be granted one second chance, but they’ll have to accept a two-week slop penalty to continue. If they fall off again, they’re out for good.

And they're off! Only Jeff & Jordan are really trying. The others are going very slowly, including Cassi. Shelly is the first to fall off and she refuses to take a slop penalty since she's already on it and doesn't want to be on it any longer than she has to.

Lawon falls off next and goes to join Shelly on the sidelines. Rachel tries to take over the play-by-play from Dicque at the request of Brendon, and he tells Rachel to shut up. At this point Jordan goes down and Rachel cheers!

Jordan heads over to take the slop penalty and gets back on the beam. Cassi then falls off and walks off to the side, followed by Dominic. Radon is now really upset as with only Jeff & Jordan in the competition, they can't do anything to keep Jeff or Jordan from winning. And soon enough:

Dicque: Jeff has won the Power of Veto!

Jeff celebrates as Dicque puts the medallion around his neck but he is sad that Jordan has to go on slop for two weeks as a result of getting a second chance. Jordan says that she'll do her best with the slop but she doesn't like it much. Rachel is furious that Jeff & Jordan are safe, while Brendon's terrified that he & Rachel will be backdoored.

****************************************************************

Okay, Jeff has won the Veto and will save himself and Jordan. I want you to decide whether Cassi will backdoor Radon or not. I'll be away from a computer tomorrow (I'm travelling down to Florida), so you have until Thursday to vote for Radon to go on the block or not.
