With one vote from Round Robin, here are the results:The Chenbot gathers the houseguests in the living room and reveals that the next evicted houseguest will have a chance to get back in the game –- but that all she reveals –- at least to the houseguests.
However, the audience learns that the first four houseguests evicted have been sequestered and America will choose which of the four will compete against next week’s evictee to get back in the game. That means that this week’s Head of Household will have to think about the immediate consequences of evicting a houseguest who could only be out of the house for a few minutes before having the opportunity to exact revenge.
The power is up for grabs! This week’s Head of Household competition is named “Checkmate.” The houseguests will face off two at a time and will have to answer a question based on the first three evicted houseguests. That means the answer to each question will be Keith, Rachel or Lawon.
The first houseguest to answer correctly moves on and will choose the next two competitors. If the houseguest that buzzes in first is incorrect, s/he is eliminated. If neither houseguest buzzes in, they will both be eliminated –- unless it is the final pair, of course.
Cassi, as outgoing HOH, randomly draws Kalia & Porsche's names first. The first question is: Which evicted houseguest was a Have Not ... that's when Porsche buzzes in, saying. "Keith." However, the correct answer was "Lawon," since they were asked which evicted houseguest was a Have-Not twice!
Porsche is out and Kalia chooses Dicque & Brendon to face off next. Question two: Who did not play in the “March of the Ants” Have or Have Not competition? Dicque buzzes in with the correct answer of "Keith" and Brendon is out. Dicque then chooses Dominic & Shelly to face off next.
The third question is: Which evicted houseguest was the only one backdoored? Dominic buzzes in first and guesses "Rachel." He is right and Shelly is out. Dominic then chooses Dicque and Jordan to face off next, presumably hoping that Dicque will eliminate Jordan.
Question four: In the HOH competition “Big Brother Open,” who overshot ... Dicque buzzes in first but says "Rachel." The correct answer was "Lawon since Rachel didn't compete in that competition! Dicque is out as a stunned Jordan chooses Adam & Dominic to face off next.
The fifth question is: Which evicted houseguest was voted out unanimously? Adam beats Dominic to the punch and correctly guesses "Rachel." A worried Dominic is out as Adam chooses Jordan & Kalia, since they are the only two left.
Question six: Fourteen houseguests played in the first Head of Household competition, who was the third houseguest to fall off the banana? Kalia buzzes in first but says, "Lawon." The correct answer is "Keith." Kalia is out as Jordan moves into the final round against Adam.
The final question is: Who misspelled a word ... that's when Jordan buzzes in and guesses "Lawon":
Chenbot: That is correct. Congratulations, Jordan. You are the new HOH!
Jordan doesn't celebrate much, but gives a little fist pump of victory with a determined look on her face as Cassi graciously hands her the key to the HOH room. Brendon looks at Dicque and asks him, "Did you throw that?"
Dicque looks at him and say, "You bet your @$$ I threw that! There are at least 3 or 4 more people in the house more likely than I am to be targets this week, and since I don't think I'm in that much danger, I wasn't gonna be the guy who put Jordan's hide on the line after the week she's had. I may well be the biggest pr!ck in the history of BB, but evem I'm not nasty enough to kick Jordan when she's down! And it worked out pretty well for me, since she won HoH."
As the houseguests head in, Adam, Cassi and Dicque are the last three in. Just before they head in, Adam looks at Cassi and Dicque and says, "You know, all those questions were about Lawon, Keith and Rachel. I understand not having any about Jeff since he just got evicted tonight, but having them about those three makes me think they have something to do with this twist Julie keeps talking about."
Dicque says, "Well, all three of those might have been sequestered in case of possible reentry, and Daniele had the flu so damn bad when she left that she probably went to the hospital, so she wouldn't have been sequestered. I think they're gonna have an America's Vote between those 3 and Jeff, and the winner will have something to do with this twist thing. I just haven't figured out what."
Cassi suggests, "Maybe the winner gets to face off against the one we vote to evict. That means Jordan had better be careful when she chooses the nominees -- and we'd better be careful whom we vote out!" Adam says, "Hmmmm," and they go inside to join the other HG who are already busily scheming for the upcoming nominations.
****************************************************************
Okay, Jordan has won the HOH competition (and that's okay, as long as it wasn't Brendon who won). It's time for the Have Not competition, and the houseguests who are eligible to be a Have Not will be divided into two teams, Red & Blue. I want you to decide who is on which team and which team wins the Have Not competition. I'll take votes until tonight and the team with the most votes will win the Have Not competition, with the losing team all being Have Nots.
