Find out the details of this week’s Power of Veto Ceremony here:
To recap, Christine is the HoH. She nominated Donny and Zach for eviction. Zach won the Power of Veto.
Zach used the Power of Veto on himself. Christine chose Nicole as the replacement nominee.
Nicole will be evicted on Thursday. She was already a target after Hayden was evicted, but things started to work out for her after she won HoH. Even after she was dethroned as HoH, Christine promised to not put up Nicole as the replacement nominee under any circumstances. For most of the week, it seemed like Christine was going to honor that promise. She even told Victoria last night she was going to go up in Zach’s place. However, the guys (except for Donny) had a lengthy discussion with Christine late last night about how she should put up Nicole. They told her that Nicole was going to nominate Christine if Frankie had lost the Battle of the Block, but won the Power of Veto. Nicole did agree to that, but the guys conveniently left out how putting Christine up in Frankie’s place was originally their idea. So Christine then agreed to put up Nicole instead of Victoria.
This will be the first time that the dethroned HoH will be put up on the block and then evicted in the same week. I’m sure this was a scenario the producers have been waiting to happen all season long, but it’s too bad that it’s happening to Nicole. She had a lot of fight in her and was not afraid to go after big players in the game. However, there is a chance she can return to the game. Julie heavily hinted that someone from the jury will be going back into the house. Last year, Judd was the returning player. Who will be the returning player this year? But with the twists this year including two HoHs and two pairs of people on the block, could this mean that two people will be returning to play the game? I guess we’ll find out soon.
