Synopsis:
Braden (surfer) and Chima (freelance journalist) are up for eviction tonight. The Athlete clique, especially Russell, look to assert dominance and Jordan is moved to tears over the escalating tension in the house. Russell's attempts to agitate Braden are effective, as Braden soon goes outside and starts a verbal fight with Lydia and Kevin. That donnybrook spills over to the inside of the house, where Lydia and Jordan have a spat. Ronnie plays politics with Laura and Jordan, and the girls attempt to convince Casey that evicting Chima is the right move. The housemates discuss the various spats with host Julie Chen. Braden and Chima plead their cases to the housemates. The vote is a tie, but Jessie breaks the deadlock by voting for Braden. In discussion with Julie Chen, Braden discusses his views on Ronnie's hidden agenda. The Head of Household (HoH) competition is next. The cliques compete in a quiz show to guess what the majority of America answered to a series of questions. Each correct answer allows the guesser to eliminate another contestant from the challenge. Ronnie wins the HoH contest, outlasting Michele.
