Synopsis:
With the cliques no longer in place, the Head of Household (HoH) competition has a much greater impact this week. In various flashbacks the houseguests discuss the events of last week and look forward to the new, more competitive game that awaits them. As the HoH competition winds down, only Jeff and Russell are left hanging and Russell agrees to a semi-alliance with Jeff to ensure that Jordan and Jeff are safe this week and they agree that Ronnie should be put up for eviction. Jordan won the right to name the “Have-Nots” for the week and she selects Natalie, Jessie and Kevin. Ronnie discusses the potential deals that Jeff and Russell could have made and hopes that America will vote him the Mystery (“Coup d’Etat”) Power that was introduced last week. Russell and Jeff discuss teaming up but keeping it a secret. The “Have-Nots” food this week is squash and squid. After Lydia tells Russell that Jessie and Natalie want Russell evicted, the Chima-Jessie-Natalie alliance visits Russell to clear things up. Ronnie visits Russell and tries to clear the air about his allegiances. Russell nominates Ronnie and Lydia for eviction.
