After the pointlessly manufactured cliffhanger from Thursday, Nicole and Donny won HOH in Big Brother 16 Episode 18. They nominated Jocasta & Zach and Caleb & Victoria, and somehow Caleb and Victoria won, keeping Nicole in power.
Since they managed to save themselves from the block, Caleb and Victoria are chained together for 48 hours during which she shaves his head.
Nicole has proposed an alliance with Derrick, Hayden, and Cody. Derrick’s on whatever side survives the week. Christine wants her to put one of them up, and she makes up a story about how Zach said Hayden and Victoria have been making out. Their reaction: Frankie needs to go home. Wait. What did he do?
Nicole selects Caleb at random to play in the veto competition. Zach chooses Christine. Jocasta picks Victoria. Zach is happy to be competing against a bunch of losers.
The veto competition requires them to rearrange comic book covers in the same order as the one on the window they zoom by when they are pretending to be super heroes. There are near multiples of each of the covers with only slight differences. Typically useless Victoria runs out of time and is unable to finish in 35 minutes. Then Zach flips out and starts throwing things before finally realizing he has the order of two of them in reverse.
Nicole – 12:25
Caleb – 15:48
Victoria – 35:00
Jocasta – 14:39
Christine – 11:50
Zach – 26:17
Christine has won the golden power of veto. She may supposedly be in multiple alliances, but it’s hard to tell who she’s loyal to, if anybody. One thing is clear is that she is not loyal to Zach.
If Christine uses the veto, Nicole plans to nominate Frankie instead. Christine realizes this is too risky and does not use it. Now Zach is the target, and his alliance is not as loyal to him as he thinks.
