LAST EDITED ON 10-11-11 AT 08:48 PM (EST)Okay, this is pretty much what I wanted all along, so here are the results:
We now see Jeff shooting daggers from his eyes not just at Cassi, but at all the other houseguests. This is because even Jordan is congratulating Cassi on her win! Jeff notes that he is an outcast now, and he's mad!
Although Brendon realizes he's less of a target than Jeff, he's worried about being a target for nomination simply because he's stronger than Jordan and more likely to win challenges. Still, he's here and he's not giving up.
While still outside, Jeff gets into a ugly shouting match with Jordan about her openly hugging Cassi and not consoling him. Jordan gives back as good as she gets, pointing out that Jeff was acting like a jerkwad and nobody has to take such treatment, not even his girlfriend!
Jeff screams at her that she's supporting the enemy and Jordan is about to get right in his face when Cassi and Shelly each grab her arm and pull her away. Jordan's yelling incoherently as the two women lead her inside.
Dicque tells Jeff, ""Jeff, you're a f---ing idiot. Jordan is the sweetest damn girl on the planet, and you're gonna lose her if you don't stop being such an a$$hole." Jeff then yells at him, "Hello, kettle. Pot here. You're black."
Dicque retorts, "You're damn right, but after losing a few over the years, I've finally learned. You haven't learned jack $hit, and it's gonna cost you the best damn girl you'll ever meet in your life." Dicque goes inside, and Jeff finally shuts up, then goes inside a couple minutes later when BB calls the post-challenge indoor lockdown.
We then see various contestants doing the post-competition DRs. Cassi begins by noting how much she despises Jeff now. She can't wait to put him on the block. Adam agrees, saying that he can't believe he once rooted for Jeff!
Dicque rants about Jeff's idiotic behavior before Brendon notes that he's got to stay as far away from Jeff as possible, since Jeff's actions are tainting him and will make him a target for nomination.
Kalia says that she's done with Jeff and at least for now, she's done with the rest of the veterans as well. Porsche concludes by saying that everyone will hang Cassi if she doesn't nominate or backdoor Jeff -- if Cassi even wants to keep Jeff around, which Porsche doubts.
As Jeff walks through the living room, he sees Cassi and Shelly hugging Jordan, who is crying inconsolably. In his DR session, Jeff notes that he's now beginning to realize just how much of a a$$hole he's become, and he wants to make amends to Jordan.
A couple hours later, Cassi does the "Who wants to see my HoH room?" thing, and only Jeff does not go up. There are more pictures of Cassi with her family and she plans to give some of the food in her basket to Jordan, since she's feeling down. Jordan thanks Cassi.
Jeff then comes up, but he has only come so he can ask Jordan to go downstairs with him. There is something he wishes to tell her. He reassures everyone that it's not something nasty and since the others note that Jeff seems calmer, they agree although Cassi privately asks Shelly to follow Jeff & Jordan.
Jeff apologizes to Jordan, telling her that he was an a$$hole, especially to the woman he loved most. He shouldn't have let his attitudes and emotions get the best of him but he did. He just wants Jordan to forgive him and for them to move on.
Jordan reassures him that she'll forgive him but it might take a little time for her to do so. Shelly hears this and reports it to the others upstairs. Everyone is pleased to hear that Jeff knows he acted like an a$$ but Cassi admits that when it comes to the nominations, it's too little too late for him.
Jeff then decides that he deserves to be punished further for his idiotic behavior and heads into the Diary Room to ask that he take the Have Not punishment that one of the others in the HOH competition got. He is allowed, but has to ask someone the next day, which is when the punishment officially begins.
The next day, Jeff approaches Dicque when the latter comes down for breakfast. Jeff explains what he had asked production and he now wants to take the Have Not punishment that Dicque had obtained. Dicque is happy to let Jeff be a Have Not and heads into the Diary Room to record his decision.
When Dicque is done, he heads out and as Jeff starts eating his breakfast with Jordan nearby eating also eating, Dicque says wih a crooked grin, "Interesting day yesterday, eh, Jeffo?" Jeff says, "You might say that. I'd say it was a nightmare!"
Dicque says, "Got yourself a pretty deep hole to dig yourself out of, huh?" Jeff says, "Look, Dicque, I might be stupid, but I'm not that stupid! I know exactly what's coming at nominations today. If Cassi doesn't nominate me straight out, she'll surely backdoor me. She might have anyway, and after that debacle yesterday, the rest of you will hang her if she doesn't. So I might as well be prepared for it."
Later, Adam is called to the diary room, and he lowers his head knowing that his time has come. As he explains, he was the first out of the HOH competition. His snowball could have contained $10,000, but instead it contained an elf costume.
When Adam emerges from the diary room, he looks like he could spit nails. His suit is bright red and shiny, like giftwrap. The bottom is draped with jingling bells. He even has a red pointy hat with a green poofball on the end, and a wig complete with elf ears. Completing the ensemble is a dark green pair of velvet shorts. As lame as this looks, Adam makes the most of it, and everyone gets a good laugh as he frolics about the house. It’s hysterical.
Adam runs about the house, high-fiving everyone as he goes. He even gets really playful, popping up from behind couches and counters. Jeff laughs as he tells us that he remembers a lot of elves at the mall when he was a kid. None of them chain smoked. Dominic calls Adam "elfified."
The other houseguests learn that Jeff had volunteered to take Dicque's place on slop and are all surprised. Cassi is happy to see that Jeff has realized what an a$$ he had been, but he's still a threat to win challenges and she can't ignore what he had done earlier.
Later, the houseguests come inside (led by Adam who's doing a somersault) to discover this week’s supplemental Have Not diet, as voted on by the audience. Even though it’s displayed on the table, Cassi reads off a card, announcing that the audience chose seaweed and sardines.
Jordan is relieved that she's not on slop, as she doesn’t care for fish that are still in “fish” form (meaning she has no problem with a fried fish sandwich, but full-bodied sardines are an issue), citing a traumatic experience from when she was in kindergarten. Everyone starts chanting, “Do it! Do it!” so Adam takes a sardine, puts it in his mouth, and whips his head from side to side.
Meanwhile, Jeff approaches Cassi before the nominations and he apologizes for getting mad at her earlier. He says that he knows he's going up and he doesn't blame her for it. In fact, he feels he asked for it.
Cassi contemplates her nominations and we get the usual commentary from the peanut gallery. Jeff reiterates his comment that he'd asked to be nominated. He just hopes he can mend fences before it's too late. Jordan hopes that she isn't nominated because of her connection to Jeff.
Brendon thinks that he's going up against Jeff. He notes that Jordan is no threat to win competitions, whereas he is. Shelly thinks that she's safe as she's no threat to win anything but she's not sure. She hopes that she's right.
Cassi places her keys and makes her decision. She tells us that she is not after revenge or vindication. She is only playing for herself, and as such she will make what she feels is the best move for her. And her best move is to get rid of someone who can win challenges.
With that, Cassi summons everyone inside for the nomination ceremony. Once the houseguests are gathered at the dining room table, Cassi brings out the Magic Cheese Wheel of Death. Now that the couples phase is over, each key pulled will represent one individual who is safe. Since there are no more Golden Keys, everyone is eligible for nomination.
Cassi pulls the first key, and Adam is safe. She jokes that no one should get so nervous that they might soil their elf suit. Adam awkwardly puts his key around his neck (getting it caught on the elf ears) as everyone chuckles at the sight.
Cassi then pulls Dominic's key out. Porsche is next, followed by Kalia. Dicque is the next to get a key and Dicque notes that he's forgotten what it feels like since he had a Golden Key for the past two weeks. Shelly is next and finally Jordan gets a key, much to her relief.
Cassi says, "The nominees this week are Brendon and Jeff. After yesterday, everybody here knows why I nominated Jeff, and I had to nominate 2 people, so Brendon, you're the other one. Good luck in the PoV competition. This ceremony is closed."
Jeff is unsurprised by the nomination. He acted like an a$$ and got what he deserved. He's just going to try to win the Veto and if he doesn't, he'll either lobby against Brendon if someone else wins the Veto or accept his fate with good grace if Brendon wins it.
Jordan is relieved that Cassi didn't choose to punish her for her association with Jeff. Brendon isn't surprised that he was nominated either. He vows to win the Veto and take himself off the block, ensuring that Jeff leaves.
Cassi concludes by noting that neither Brendon nor Jeff are all that popular (especially Jeff, right now), so only Jordan's heart might be broken if Jeff goes -- and Cassi doubts that it's broken much thanks to Jeff's actions.
****************************************************************
Okay, Brendon & Jeff are the nominees. Now it's time to decide who will compete with them and Cassi for the POV competition and who will win the Veto. I'll take votes until tomorrow and the three people with the most votes in the first part will compete in the POV competition, and the one with the most votes in the second part will win it.
