When we left the houseguests in BB8 Episode 13, they were hanging upside down fighting for HOH. Those of you who read the spoilers in that post already know the results of the competition, but tonight we get to watch it play out and see who gets nominated. Dustin is of the belief that it’s 6 against 3. We’ll see how long that lasts.
Amber is first out at 6 minutes.
Eric is disqualified at 9 minutes for going too high.
Jameka is eliminated next.
Generally, they force everyone inside when banners fly over the house because it had such a big influence over the game in season 1. However, since it flew over with perfect timing during an endurance competition, the entire house got to see this one: “We love Nick. Amber & Eric are Liars. LNC is the nerd herd.”
Zach falls at 32 minutes.
Dick is next out at 44 minutes.
Jessica is out at 59 minutes.
Around that time, the gloves come off. Dick starts (again) with the personal attacks on Kail and Jen. Jen then starts about Danielle’s relationship with Nick. Eric for some reason jumps into the battle and begins yelling at Jen, an odd move for someone who’s been pretty much safe and in the middle most of the time.
Jen falls at 1 hour 31 minutes.
Kail makes a deal with Danielle that she’ll be safe, even if she puts her up. As if Danielle controls the vote (she can’t vote, and her father probably won’t even listen to her, let alone anyone else). Kail drops at 1 hour 36 minutes. Danielle is the new HOH.
Danielle believes the second vote to keep Nick was to set her up. America voting on the basis of popularity is wreaking havoc on the house, but at least it’s keeping things interesting. She realizes based on the banner that Eric was responsible for that vote.
Dick and Danielle decide to confide in Jessica because they don’t really have anyone else to count on, telling her Eric’s in an alliance with Jen and Kail. This again? I was impressed they figured the first part out, but then they come up with the theory Jen’s in yet another alliance. Jessica, who’s been getting closer to Eric lately, brings this information to him.
America wants to see Jen get nominated, giving Eric yet another simple task to complete, but perhaps not as simple as last week. While Eric’s pitching the scenario, Dick blows up at him because he knows the voting is screwy.
At the nomination ceremony:
Dustin is safe.
Eric is safe.
Jameka is safe.
Amber is safe.
Dick is safe.
Jessica is safe.
Zach is safe.
Jen and Kail have been nominated. For the third time in a row. Surely a surprise to at least three people. It appears, however, that the actual plan may be to backdoor Eric. Who do you think will go home? Jen, Kail, or neither again?
