The outcome of the eviction immediately set Helen off, with her being nominated by the viewers in Amber's place, followed by her rival, Danielle, winning HoH. Shortly after the competition, Helen started questioning her will to continue and threatened to self-evict, with Cody and Pav attempting to talk her out of it.
It is no surprise that Danielle would want to target Helen, but Brittany wasn't a fan of the idea as of now and suggested Zach and Pav instead (with Zach being one of her targets last week and Pav almost winning HoH). Danielle was also told not to get too rash about who she will nominate in case Helen somehow gets the votes to stay although Danielle doubts this.
--Nomination Ceremony--
The key order is as follows:
Ashleigh

Jocasta

Donny
...

Danielle has nominated Pav and Helen for eviction.
Just as the nomination ceremony ended, another argument erupted between Helen and Danielle, where Helen accused her of being hypocritical as well as nominating for personal reasons. Shortly after the fight died down, Brittany and Amber decided that evicting Pav over Helen would be a better move since Helen would either target Danielle or implode within the next few weeks while Pav would be a bigger threat to them. However, doing this would risk losing Danielle's vote should either of them be in danger of eviction.
--PoV Draw--
Danielle: Ashleigh (HouseGuest's Choice)
Helen: Matthew
Pav: Donny
Danielle chose Mark to host the competition.
Danielle, Ashleigh and Donny would obviously not use the veto, but both Helen and Pav hope that they could sway Matthew to take one of the off and have him and Toya flip to their side like they tried to last week.
--PoV Competition--
For this competition, the HouseGuests must stand on a rotating platform with water getting sprayed at them in random intervals. The goal of the competition is to get off of the platform when they think the 1 hour mark has been reached. The person who gets off the closest to the 1 hour mark without going over will win the Power of Veto.
Step off Order (from first out to last out):
1 Matthew
2 Danielle
3 Ashleigh
4 Helen
5 Donny
6 Pav
Matthew's time is...

Danielle's time is...

35:33
Ashleigh's time is...

63:48, which is over the 1 hour mark.
Congratulations Danielle! You have won the Diamond Power of Veto!
Helen got off seconds after Ashleigh. Both Donny and Pav got off around 5 minutes later.
While it is a no-brainer that Danielle will keep her nominations the same, Brittany and Amber are still considering keeping Helen over Pav, with Jocasta and Donny agreeing to an extent with their plan. However, Cody, Nicole and Zach are willing to cut Helen off this week due to her threats to leave voluntarily combined with Pav being more likely to win HoH next week.
Shortly before the veto ceremony is supposed to happen, Helen was told by Zach that she might not get any votes to stay, which once again set her off, where she announced that she regrets ever trusting him or his alliance. This outburst has once again fueled her motive to possibly self-evict. Despite a lengthy consultation in the Diary Room, Helen decided to stay after calming down.
Unsurprisingly, Danielle decided not to use the Power of Veto, meaning that Helen may face eviction for the second week in a row. Brittany is still considering keeping Helen as a target, but is concerned if she and Amber could pull it off; they would have to evict Helen if they don't have the 6 votes needed to keep her in.
--Cry For Help--
Both Pav and Helen were called to the Diary Room at random points after the veto ceremony, where they were given the option of sending the Cry For Help.
After hearing of Helen's most recent outburst, Pav decided not to press the button, believing that Helen would be evicted unanimously.
While Helen initially wanted to send the cry for help, she felt it would be no use as she was nominated in Amber's place after being saved by the Cry for Help last week.
With Brittany and Amber planning on possibly keeping Helen, will Pav's decision to not use the Cry for Help get him blindsided, or did Helen do enough damage this week to send her to the Halfway House? Who will win the first halfway Faceoff: Chris or Frankie? Who will win the next Head of Household? Find out next time.
