During the introductions after the HouseGuests entered the house, both Trey and Chris wanted to hide the fact that they know each other from the outside world, so they had to lie about where they were from. Also, Natalie lied about her occupation by claiming to be a waitress, but was not very convincing as Kass was immediately suspicious about Natalie based on her behavior.
Following the introductions, the HouseGuests parted to different areas of the house, where Carly immediately attempted to start an all-girls alliance with Courtney, Natalie, Niki, and Robynn. While Courtney, Natalie and Niki were open to have the girls dominate the house, Robynn was not as open as she doesn't believe the alliance would last the first week.
The HouseGuests were later gathered in the living room to be informed about the duos twist. They were also told that they get to decide who their partners would be based on first impressions.
Pairs:
Robynn & Timmy
reason: Timmy jumped off the couch after the announcement and asked Robynn to pair up, which she accepted.
Carly & Courtney
reason: The two clicked almost instantly (it had nothing to do with the girls alliance)
Dominick & Seth
Tony & Lance
reason (both for the same reason): Clicked instantly
Niki & Felicia
reason: Niki decided to pair with Felicia over Natalie in order to hide the girls alliance as Felicia was not included
Cam & Trey
reason: Trey wanted to pair with Chris, but Cam, being attracted to him (and unaware of Trey & Chris), asked first, which Trey had to accept
Austin & Chris
reason: After Trey was taken by Cam, Austin was Chris' next choice
Natalie & Kass
reason: Last two without partners
Most of the HouseGuests were satisfied with who they paired up with. However, Kass felt that Natalie would be her last choice as a partner; she preferred to work with the guys. Natalie was a bit surprised that Niki didn't choose her as a partner, but was told that she had to hide it after Carly & Courtney paired up. Meanwhile, Chris decided to confess about his relationship with Trey to Austin. Austin was surprised at that, but felt that by doing that, Chris can be trusted. On the other hand, Trey decided not to tell Cam as he isn't sure if he should trust her.
--HOH Competition--
In this competition. one HouseGuest from each pair would hang on to a rotating platform that would spin faster overtime while their partner would be asked a series of questions about one of their fellow HouseGuests. For each question they get wrong, their partner's disk will spin faster. If the partner falls off the disk, the pair will be out of the competition. The last pair standing will win the competition and must agree on who should become the first Head of Household.
On disk:
Timmy
Courtney
Dominick
Lance
Niki
Trey
Austin
Natalie
Answering:
Robynn
Carly
Seth
Tony
Felicia
Cam
Chris
Kass
(All players on the disk start at level 1. As the level increases (when their partner answers incorrectly, the disk spins faster).
Question 1: Robynn, Tony, Felicia and Cam get it wrong. Tommy, Lance, Niki and Trey are spinning a bit faster.
Question 2: Only Carly and Tony are correct. Everyone else is wrong, so their partners are spinning even faster.
10 minutes: No one has fallen off yet, but Trey is showing signs of slipping.
Question 3: Only Carly and Kass are correct. Everyone else is wrong, so their partners are going even faster. Courtney is the only one whose disk is still on level 1.
Question 4: Carly, Felicia, Cam, Chris and Kass are wrong, so their partners are spinning faster. At this point in the competition, no one has yet to fall off.
30 minutes: Everyone is still holding on.
Final Question: Robynn, Carly, Felicia, Cam, Chris and Kass are wrong, so their partners are spinning faster.
There are no more questions left. It is pure endurance from here on out.
45 minutes: Timmy cannot hold on any longer. Timmy and Robynn are the first pair eliminated from the competition. The only HouseGuest not budging at this point is Courtney.
1 hr 5 minutes: Both Niki and Dominick are on the verge of slipping.
1 hr 12 minutes: Dominick falls off (he decided to just throw the competition as Niki would not fall off). Dominick and Seth are out. 6 pairs are left. Unlike Dominick, Niki is able to recover.
1 hr 39 minutes: Niki has had enough and falls off. Niki and Felicia are the third pair out of the competition. Courtney is looking comfortable right now.
2 hr 7 min: Austin slips off while trying to adjust. Austin and Chris are out. The remaining pairs are Courtney & Carly, Lance & Tony, Trey & Cam, and Natalie & Kass.
2 hr 31 min: While wanting to prove himself as a strong competitor, Trey did not want to win the first HoH. He decides to fall off. Trey and Cam are out.
2 hr 50 min: Natalie drops out, also wanting to throw the competition. Kass and Natalie are out.
It has come down to Carly & Courtney and Lance & Tony.
Carly & Courtney decided to strike a deal with Lance & Tony; if Lance fell off, both he and Tony would be safe this week. Lance wanted to win the first HoH, but he felt that it didn't look like Courtney is going to move anytime soon, so he and Tony decided to accept the deal.
3 hr 6 min: Lance falls off. Lance & Tony are out.
Carly & Courtney have won the competition! Carly and Courtney cannot be evicted this week, but now the two of them had to decide which one wants to be crowned the first Head of Household of the season.
The two girls have agreed to give the title to Courtney.
Congratulations Courtney! You are the first Head of Household, which means that Carly will have immunity from eviction this week!
With Courtney taking control of the house first, who will be the victim of her power trip? Find out in the next post!
