With Kass winning HoH, Courtney & Carly started feeling vulnerable as they don't know where Kass' loyalty is at. Furthermore, Courtney was 2nd to Kass in the HoH competition. It wasn't long before Trey, Austin and Robynn went up to Kass' HoH room to inform her of what needs to happen. Kass is aware that Carly & Courtney needed to be split up as Carly is the biggest threat as of now, but she isn't sure about whether she should put the two of them up right now. Trey immediately pushes out the fact that Carly & Courtney need to be put up together, but Kass felt that she didn't owe Trey anything either.
Shortly after Trey left the HoH room, it was Carly's turn to sway Kass to nominate Robynn & Trey together. She stated that she didn't have that much power since Felicia won HoH. While the girls alliance agreed with what Carly said, Natalie & Niki had another conversation with Kass as soon as Carly & Courtney left the HoH room, where they told her that they would help her get Carly out. As it turns out, Natalie & Niki wanted to take control of the game and they felt that once Trey & Robynn were out, Carly would be too powerful.
With two possible nomination pairs, Kass has a lot of thinking to do. She initially wanted to win HoH, but wanted to change her mind as it would require taking a side. Courtney made herself out as a physical threat due to her performance in the HoH competition. Carly was targeted as a power player after Timmy outed the girls alliance. On the other hand, getting Carly out would ensure that Trey, Austin and Robynn would dominate for the second half of the game, considering that she wanted to be the one to get Carly out.

Kass has nominated Carly and Courtney for eviction. The two made themselves out as the biggest threats in the game. Kass felt that this was exactly what needed to happen.
Carly took her nomination better than Courtney. Carly knew that Kass was now against her, while Courtney felt like her nomination wasn't fair as she almost won, which could have saved herself and Carly. Niki & Natalie pretended to feel bad for Carly and Courtney, but the two of them were excited on the inside as they wanted it to happen as well. As for Trey, Austin and Robynn, they decided to let Kass in their alliance as their 4th as opposed to Tony, who did not speak to them that much over the past week.
Meanwhile, both Carly & Courtney needed a failsafe in case someone outside of the girls alliance wins the veto. The first ones in mind were Felicia, Dominick and Seth, who voted alongside the girls alliance since the first eviction. Felicia immediately assured the girls that she would save one of them and then gather the votes against the replacement. Carly didn't want to sacrifice Niki or Natalie (she doesn't know that they approved of Kass' nominations) but instead wanted to get Kass to go after Tony who is currently a loose cannon. Seth supported Felicia's decision, but Dominick is starting to feel uncertain about keeping the two girls in.
--Power of Veto Selection--
Kass: Trey
Carly: Seth
Courtney: Felicia
Kass chose Tony to host the competition.
Carly & Courtney lucked out with their selections as both Felicia and Seth would be able to save them. Meanwhile, Felicia & Seth were undecided on who to save between the two girls if they decide to save either of them.
--Power of Veto Competition--
In this competition, the HouseGuests must navigate a ball through a course containing 5 colored goals, with one for each round, as well as many pitfalls, each with a different number (the higher the number, the further away from the goal). At the end of each round, the HouseGuest who falls out the furthest from the goal will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will win the Power of Veto.
Round 1 (max distance - 5):
Random.org decided the order for this round.
Felicia: FALLOUT; 2
Carly: FALLOUT; 3
Seth: FALLOUT; 2
Courtney: GOAL
Trey: FALLOUT; 5
Kass: FALLOUT; 2
Trey is eliminated.
Congratulations Felicia! You have won the Power of Veto!
Felicia winning the veto was what the next best thing that Carly & Courtney wanted, while it was the next worst thing for Kass as Felicia knows that she is against her since she put her up last week. However, this doesn't mean that Kass can't do anything about it. Specifically, she would threaten to put Seth or Dominick up if Felicia uses the veto. Not aware of Kass' threat, Felicia decides that she is leaning on saving Carly as she is public enemy #1 while Courtney would have a better chance at staying against the replacement.
Kass approaches Seth, Dominick and Felicia and warns Felicia not to use the veto. Felicia is quick to talk back at Kass by telling her that she got HoH-itis as she let her desire to make a big move get in the way of her own game. She tells her that she did a good job as a floater, but also mentions that winning HoH has officially ruined her game. Felicia then tells both of the guys that whoever she doesn't save with the veto would get evicted as both of the girls would be more threatening than either Dominick or Seth. However, Felicia later questioned Dominick on why he didn't mention her or Seth as he fell off in the HoH competition (when Dominick made the deal before falling off). At that point, Seth decided that Felicia is just being too rash on her actions and to just think about her decisions with the veto.
Meanwhile, Kass' conversation with Felicia frustrated her as she felt that Felicia, Dominick and Seth were not playing the game. Kass did not intend to base her nominations on personal grudges, but felt that this is how Felicia makes her decisions; she thought that Felicia's comment following Kass' threat was personal. This forced Kass to reconsider her plans as HoH as Dominick and Seth would ruin the initial plan against Carly.
At the veto ceremony, Felicia stated that her decision was initially very difficult, but became easy after Kass' threat. For that reason alone, Felicia decided to use the veto on...

...

Carly.
Kass, Robynn and Trey all agreed that Felicia made an idiotic decision in saving the biggest threat in the game. In retaliation, Kass decided to potentially put the target on one of Felicia's allies, and thus decided to nominate...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Dominick.
Felicia & Seth ensured Dominick that their votes would be against Courtney no matter what. Felicia then said that she did not intend to get Dominick out, but rather to let Kass know that she can make her own decisions and that she can't be threatened.
With Carly being saved with the veto, will her closest ally Courtney be the one sent packing, or did Felicia's sudden move lead to Dominick's eviction? Who will become the next Head of Household? Plus, what is the second twist of the season? Find out in the next post!
