The HG seem in no hurry to get right back into scheming and plotting, so most of them lounge around in various places in the house. They're hoping to get the HoH room visit over before it gets too late so they can get their rest in case there's a Have-not competition the next day.

BB does not disappoint them. Right after BBAD goes off the air, Kalia gets called into the DR, She's in there long enough that some of the HG start to wonder if something's up, but soon she emerges with the HoH key and they all go do the HoH Room thing. After showing off all her pictures and other stuff in the HoH room and reading her letter, Kalia then says, "Before any of you guys go back downstairs, I have some news for you from BB. There will be no Have-not competition tomorrow, But as always in BB, expect the unexpected." As they all momentarily ponder what that could mean, the veterans and Shelly go downstairs, followed shortly thereafter by Cassi, Adam and Dominic.

Porsche remains behind, and Kalia says, "I'm not gonna say up too late because I've got a feeling tomorrow's gonna be a long-a$$ed day. I think BB's gonna be up to something, I just don't know what. But before I sack out for the night, I wanna know what you think about the nominations this week. Do I put Jeff up right off the get-go, or do I backdoor him, and who do I use as pawns? There wouldn't seem to be a lot of choices, as there are only three veterans left, but with it now being jury time there are implications to every move we make, and I want to know what you think."

Porsche says, "You know I'm all for using the back door. I think you should try to give him as little chance as possible of being pulled off the block. I'd put Shelly and Jordan up. Jordan actually might not use the PoV if she wins it for fear of Jeff getting put up, and if whoever got it didn't use it, we could either go ahead and punt Jordan or get Shelly out, who I don't trust anyway because I think she's with them because she hangs out with them all the time." "But what about Evil D!ck?" says Kalia. "We can't trust him either, plus he's a former winner who knows the game like the back of his hand." "Not as much of a threat as the others," says Porsche, "I don't see that old f@rt getting many votes between him being a former winner and being such a nasty guy last time he played. I think any of us can beat him in front of the jury, including the other vets."

Downstairs in the backyard, which was pretty quickly cleaned up after the HoH game, the vets, Shelly and Adam are talking game. After hashing it around for the better part of an hour, Jeff says, "Everything you guys have just said all sounds fine and dandy, but I guarantee you that if they don't put me up initially, they'll backdoor me. I'm the biggest target in this house, for a lot of reasons. I gotta win that PoV if I get to play for it, that's all there is to it." "Might not Jordan or D!ck make better targets, though?" says Adam. "Both are ex-winners and Jordan is sweet as sugar. "She might be sweet as sugar and we both might have won this sucker," says D!ck, "but Jeff is the one most of this house fears in competitions, and you gotta get to the final before you can win the damn thing. Everybody in there right now, and probably most of us too, will want to get Jeff out to keep him from getting us out first."

After a surprisingly active day in the BB house the next day, a late afternoon outdoor lockdown is called. Having talked to the whole house at one point or another during the day, even her nominees (who she didn't tell she was nominating them), Kalia knows what she want to do and doesn't take long preparing it. She calls the HG in for the ceremony, brings out the Magic Cheese Wheel of Death, starts the ceremony with all the usual BS, then pulls the first key. Minutes later, after the usual proceedings and some unusually phony BS about how tough they were as competitors, we learn that Jordan and D!ck indeed are the nominees. In her post-nomination DR Kalia says that these are nothing but pawns and Jeff knows it, and if either nomination is vetoed he will be next. Jeff says the whole thing was a load of bull$hit and he knows he's going up, so why didn't she just go for it? Both nominees say they know they're pawns, but they don't feel safe, because often pawns go home. After dinner the HG busily get at scheming and plotting, and it promises to be the beginning of a mighty interesting battle.
