I'll post the America's Vote results during the live eviction show. For now, here are the replacement nomination results:After the PoV competition, and while the house is on an indoor lockdown, Dicque finds Brendon in the Purple Lounge Room. "Did you throw the challenge?" Dicque asks. "I couldn't tell for sure, but it looked kind of funny towards the end."
"I didn't really throw it," says Brendon, "but I kind of twisted my knee a little bit right before Jordan dropped her ball, and after Adam and Shelly dropped theirs for the second or third time each, I knew Porsche and Kalia had such huge leads that they weren't likely to blow it with the others all dropping their balls over and over, so I slowed down to protect my knee."
We see a replay which proves that Brendon really twisted his knee. Dicque didn't see it, and in his Diary Room confessional he says that he's not sure that Brendon is telling the truth. However, he's not complaining about the results since Kalia has the PoV and Jordan will probably put Brendon up.
We then see Brendon, Jordan and Shelly in the HOH room. Jordan says, "Well, I don't have a lot to decide here. I'm going to backdoor Brendon after Kalia vetoes her nomination. It's actually a decent game move for me if Jeff does win that vote and gets to come back in the game."
"He better win the damn thing," says Brendon. "She's gotta be going crazy being apart from me for this long, and I miss the hell outta her, too." "I know how you must be feeling," says Jordan. "It's only been less than a week, and already I miss Jeff, and I'm sure he misses me too."
We now see various people doing their DR confessionals. First up is Cassi, who admits that if Jordan backdoors Brendon and he's evicted; and if Jeff wins America's Vote, beats Brendon and gets to come back into the game, things will have turned out better for her than if Jeff had stayed.
Porsche is fairly confident that Jordan will backdoor Brendon and that he'll be evicted. She has calmed down enough that she now realizes that Jordan probably put her up for the reasons that she'd stated. Dominic is delighted with the prospect of Brendon being backdoored.
Shelly is also thrilled with the prospect of Brendon getting backdoored, although that's because she hopes Jeff will win America's Vote, beat Brendon and get back in the game. As long as he's learned his lesson, she's ready to work with him and Jordan again.
It’s Adam’s 40th birthday, so he’s giving us all a special present. He’s going to shave his beard. Dominic says that Adam will sure look different. Adam calls everyone inside as if he’s just gotten the key to the HOH room, and the house follows him into the bathroom. In private, Adam notes that he has not been clean shaven in over six years.
Adam offers Brendon the first snip of the scissors, and then everyone who’s willing has a go, as his beard is trimmed to his chin. He then uses an electric razor to shave the rest off. He tells us that his girlfriend back home has never seen him without the beard. Shelly watches in mild horror, telling us that with each snip Adam starts to look like a completely different person.
When we see Adam clean shaven, the best compliment that can be given is that his face really fits well with the rest of his body. Adam recently dropped over 100 pounds so he could be cast on this show. Having the beard made his face look plumper than it was. Even though the rest of his body is still hairy, he easily shaved 10 years off his face with that razor.
Adam, Cassi, Dominic and Kalia are all eating their slop with coconuts and catfish. Cassi is eating more of the coconuts and catfish than she is of the slop. They discuss the upcoming PoV ceremony and they all agree that if Jordan backdoors Brendon that they'll vote him out.
Dicque and Porsche join the group and Dicque says that he's sure that Jordan will backdoor Brendon, since Jeff probably won America's Vote and both guys will want to be with their loved ones. Porsche is delighted with this, of course.
We then Dicque talking to Brendon, Jordan and Shelly in the HOH room. Brendon and Jordan confirm that Jordan will replace Kalia with Brendon. Dicque then says, "For your sake, I hope you get to go back and be with Rachel."
Brendon is happy to hear Dicque say this and in a confessional he says that he's sure Jeff will be the winner of America's Vote so he's prepared to face off against Jeff and if it's a competition, to lose to Jeff so he can go home and be with his beloved Rachel.
We then see Kalia prepare for the ceremony and hear the usual commentary. She is delighted that she is going off the block and she hopes that Brendon goes up in her place and is evicted, since everyone knows he wants to be with Rachel. She's happy to give him his wish.
Jordan says that she's willing to trade Brendon for Jeff, so she's going to give Brendon his wish. It's a risky move and if it wasn't because she thought she could trade Brendon for Jeff, she wouldn't pull off such a move. She hopes Jeff comes back and they can be together on the jury.
Brendon tells us to prepare for the finest performance in Big Brother history. Dominic, for his part, is ready to get rid of another strong veteran -- and the last reminder of Rachel the Crazy. He's willing to trade Brendon for Jeff as well since Jeff and Jordan are a better couple.
With that, Kalia summons everyone inside for the POV meeting. Kalia begins by saying with a smile, "I'd like to open this veto meeting withan announcement: My name is not Marcellas either." The HG laugh their a$$e$ off at that, then Kalia quickly vetoes her own nomination.
Jordan gets up and says, "Brendon, you've been saying all week you wanted to go be with Rachel. Not only that, it would be too risky for my game to have you still in the house with or without Jeff in here. With all that in mind, I therefore nominate you for eviction in Kalia's place." Kalia closes the meeting and puts the PoV medallion back in its box.
We see the usual DR commentary. Jordan calls the situation a win-win -- as long as Jeff was chosen by America's Vote. She gets rid of Brendon, she gets Jeff back and at least they can be on the jury together.
Cassi also calls it a win-win, since this means the twist will (hopefully) ensure that she kept her word in getting Jeff & Jordan to the jury. Dicque also calls it a win-win, since one strong guy will be gone and that'll be one less competitor between him and the million.
Finally, Brendon is absolutely fine with being nominated -- unless Rachel is the one chosen by America's Vote. If it's Jeff, however, he's even more fine with being evicted, as it means Rachel will be waiting for him back home. He then sings "Reunited and it Feels So Good."

Okay, Brendon has been put up on the chopping block. Now it's time to decide two things. First, I want you to decide who is evicted and will face Jeff in a competition. Second, I want you to decide whether Jeff or the evicted player (most likely Brendon) will win the competition to come back in the game. I'll take votes until tomorrow night and the first person with the most votes will be evicted and the second one with the most votes will come back in the game.
