A couple hours after the HoH competition is over, Jordan enters the DR as the last of the post-HoH DR interviewees. As did most of the others, her DR session had to do with the rough week she had and the implications of the upcoming twist. Jordan comes out of the DR with the HoH key and hollers with forced enthusiasm, "Who wants to see my HoH room?" The other 8 HG all follow her up to the 2nd floor and are supportive as she opens the door and shows off her pictures. They find a big funny one in the middle of them all that had been taken of Jeff and Jordan together a couple months before the season started. It showed them both with boxing gloves on and Jordan landing a haymaker to Jeff's chin, with both of them having smiles on their faces. Jordan breaks out laughing with a big, wide smile on her face. At that moment the others all quit worrying about Jordan, as they can all tell she's had her spirits lifted enough and will be OK. She saves her letter to read in private later, and the newbies all leave, leaving only the other vets D!ck and Brendon in there with Jordan.

Jordan says, "How nice it would be if Jeff won whatever they're gonna do and got back in here," to which D!ck replies, "That's very possible. The last time they did a version of this twist, they took an America's Vote and offered the HG the choice of taking back either the person they had just evicted or the mystery player America had voted for. The HG voted for the guy they had just evicted. The devil you know, I guess." Jordan says, "If they do that again, how do you think this house would vote?" "I don't think this house likes any of the ones who got voted out so far, and without knowing which one won the vote, I think they'd do the same as last time." Brendon says, "Yeah, but I think we can guess with some accuracy who they'll vote for. Ain't no way many of them will vote for Keith or Lawon, so I think it comes down to Rachel and Jeff." Brendon gets a rueful look on his face and says,"I just don't see my Rachel beating Jeff in any kind of America's Vote. Ain't gonna happen." D!ck says, "I think Brendon has it right. But I doubt they'll do it exactly the same way this time. My money is on them announcing the winner this time, then either letting us vote between them or letting the two of them do a challenge, winner gets back in." "Then I want whoever we evict to be somebody Jeff can easily beat in a challenge," Jordan says. D!ck reminds her, "Yeah, but that's probably any of us," to which Brendon says, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm not an easy mark." Jordan says, "I'm probably not putting you up anyway. Or D!ck. There are 6 people downstairs to choose from, and the jury starts forming after we do this twist thingy, so we have lots to think about."

The next morning, the HG are told to suit up and report to the backyard. There they find the Have-not competition set up. Jordan as HoH is host, and the teams, who drew colors randomly before suiting up, are Brendon, D!ck, Porsche and Shelly on the Red team and Adam, Cassi, Dominic and Kalia on the Blue team. Though nobody throws the competition, the Blue team sucks worse than an industrial strength vacuum cleaner, and the Red team smokes them like bad cigars, making Adam, Cassi, Dominic and Kalia the have-nots for the week.
