After the nomination ceremony and the usual series of DR sessions, the HG have dinner, then go into R&R mode punctuated by occasional game talk. Adam and D!ck are talking in the backyard, and Adam says, "Well, how do you feel about having Jeff back in and Brendon out?" "I know full well how tough a competitor Jeff can be when he wants to be," says D!ck, "but I'm happy as hell to have him and Jordan still here and Brendon and Rachel not here. As much an a$$hole as Jeff can be, I can live with him. If I never hear the word "Rachel" the rest of my life it'll still be forty years too soon." "Yeah, there's a hell of a lot less drama in the house without Rachel around," says Adam, "and we can concentrate on what's good for our own games better. Not nearly so much $hit-stirring going on." "Oh, you ain't seen the last of the $hit-stirring in this game, not by a long shot," says D!ck, "Remember the biggest turd stirrer of all time is sitting right here beside you. And I'm just waiting for the right time to turn on the blender."

D!ck's words would prove prophetic later in the game, but for now he continues to lay pretty low and not make many waves. Neither does anybody else, and without a lot of fanfare the HG go about their business till just before lunch the next day, when Kalia summons them to the living room for the player-picking meeting. She produces the infamous Bag of Doom, and draws first as HoH. She draws Porsche. Jordan draws next and draws Adam. D!ck draws last, and much to the consternation of Jordan and Jeff, he draws Cassi. Kalia chooses Dominic as host, and the meeting ends. The usual comments in the DR follow, and Jeff says he thinks he is pretty much screwed, and Jordan says she also thinks he's screwed, but she's gonna try her hardest to save his hide.

Jeff finds out when the competition starts just how screwed he is. As each player is eliminated, he or she will have to choose a ball containing a hidden prize or punishment, one of which is the PoV. Jeff moans, "Oh, great. Five chances to get screwed." Jordan gets eliminated first and draws the PoV. As the eliminations go on, nobody bothers to pick the PoV, because they know the last person left will scarf it right up. Adam goes out second and draws $10,000. D!ck is next out, draws a week as a have-not, and promptly trades it for Adam's ten G's. Kalia is next out and draws a Caribbean vacation, which she keeps. Porsche is next out and draws a week as have-not, and promptly relieves D!ck of the ten grand.
Cassi as the last one standing draws a week wearing the infamous BB humilitard, and to absolutely no one's surprise she trades it to Jordan for the PoV. Jeff utters a loud "God dammit" which is bleeped out on the TV show as Dominic says, "Congratulations, Cassi, you have won the Power of Veto."
Jeff says to Jordan, "Well, looks like we're both screwed." Jordan looks up at him and says, "It's never over till it's over". Another series of DR comments follows with both recipients of have-not weeks b1tching about it and Jordan taking her week wearing a humilitard with good humor, then the HG return to scheming and plotting.
