This year we have 11 fresh faces, along with 4 memorable past houseguests. Coming back this season are:
Luna, who wasn't one of the main alliance's sheep last year, but unfortunately for her, that caused her to get nominated, and when the HoH's target Abel won the veto, her fate was sealed.
Abel, a fan favorite. He is always targeted early on but is able to win competitions to keep himself safe, however he's never gone past 8th place. Can he up his strategic and social game to go all the way this time?
Aimee, one of the people at the core of a million alliances last year. However, she was too likable and had too little blood on her hands, so her allies blindsided her. Has she learned from her mistakes, and is she ready to make big moves?
X, one of the best players to never win BrantSteele Big Brother. He had control over most of the game, he just lost some crucial competitions, and his allies realized how threatening he was. Can he tone down his threat level, and will he attempt to control this game?
Will a new player win the game, or will a returnee have what it takes? Needless to say, with 15 HouseGuests, this will be the most competitive Big Brother we've seen yet!
The first HoH is called "Wipe Out." The Houseguests walk into the backyard to see two surfboards over a huge pool of water. The last Houseguest standing on a surfboard will become the first Head of Household. The competition comes down to two newbies, Jonathan and Connor. And the first HoH of the summer is... Jonathan!
Tiger is the first person up to Jonathan's HoH room, and they form a final 2 pact because they naturally trusted each other. A similar thing happened between two other people in the house, Braden and Connor. They swore to look after each other.
Early on in the house, sides were forming. All of the vets except for X (Aimee, Abel, and Luna) all trusted each other, but not X because of the villainous game he previously played. Luna did also immediately hit it off and vibe with Meredith, so the four of Aimee, Abel, Luna, and Meredith became an alliance. X knew that he was on his own in the game, so he looked for 3 guys who were strong, and who he'd work well with. He decided to form an alliance with Jacob, Keizo, and Mark.
The Vets + Meredith alliance was able to get into Jonathan's ear, and convince him to put up members on X's side of the house, and then they could backdoor X later on. Jonathan decided this would be a good play, so he put up Mark and Jacob.
At the veto selections, Mark drew Keizo's chip, so 3 of X's alliance were participating. Abel and Luna were also picked.
The first PoV is called "Blast Off." The Houseguests enter the backyard one at a time to see multiple large screens. On each screen, an alien face containing two Houseguests' faces will appear. The Houseguest must correctly figure out which two Houseguests are in each face in the fastest possible time. The Houseguest that does so in the fastest time will win the Golden Power of Veto. The competition comes down to Keizo, who has two allies up on the block, and Luna, who wants one of Keizo's allies out. The winner of the first PoV is.... Luna!
During the week, X worked on getting to bond with other members of the house. He and Tiger bonded especially well, and of course it just so happens that Tiger's #1 ally in the house is HoH. Tiger decided to go up to Jonathan and tried to convince him last minute not to put X up on the block. Jonathan wasn't sure what to do.
At the veto ceremony, Luna went according to the plan and pulled Jacob off the block, expecting X to go up in his place. Jonathan got up, and named Keizo as a replacement, since he was good in competitions, and was also on that side of the house. This shocked many.
For the first vote, X and Jacob agreed that the best thing for their alliance was to get rid of Keizo, since neither wanted to be sitting on the block next to him going into a veto. Braden and Connor also wanted the bigger threat out. The vote was clearly going to be the bigger threat besides a few floaters who felt closer to Keizo than Mark, but Abel and Luna decided to flip their votes last minute to cause mayhem.
Abel votes to evict Mark.
Adele votes to evict Mark.
Aimee votes to evict Keizo.
Braden votes to evict Keizo.
Connor votes to evict Keizo.
Dylan votes to evict Mark.
Jacob votes to evict Keizo.
Luna votes to evict Mark.
Meredith votes to evict Keizo.
Tiger votes to evict Keizo.
Will votes to evict Mark.
X votes to evict Keizo.
By a vote of 7-5, Keizo, you have been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 14
The second HoH is called "Seed Saw." Each Houseguest stands at the end of a giant shovel. They must carry a seed across the shovel and place that seed onto the end of the shovel. The first Houseguest to fill their shovel with seeds will become the new Head of Household. The competition came down to Tiger, who was close with the last HoH, and Abel, a big player in the house. The winner of the HoH competition is.... Abel!
Abel wants to stick to last week's plan and backdoor X. He decides to put one of his allies, Mark, and a floater, Adele.
At the veto selections, Adele drew a HouseGuest's choice chip. She got along best with Jonathan, so she picked him to play. Meredith and Will were also picked.
This PoV is called "Hot Legs." The Houseguests enter the backyard to see an enormous pool with two hairy legs in it. The Houseguests must pluck hairs with letters on them from the legs in order to spell the longest word. The Houseguest that correctly spells the longest word will win the Golden Power of Veto! The competition came down to nominee Mark, and HoH Abel. Abel was able to win PoV!
During the competition, Mark was knocking into Abel and trash talking, making Abel want to get Mark out, Abel wasn't sure if he even wanted to backdoor X at this point.
At the veto ceremony, Abel decided not to use the PoV, and hoped to get Mark evicted.
Tiger struggled with being away from home, so he stayed away in his room for a while.
Braden and Connor agree that it's in their best interest to try to keep Mark in since he'd be targeted over them, while Adele can skate through the game. However, it seems like everyone wants Mark out, so Jacob and X try to stick with the house for the vote.
Aimee votes to evict Mark.
Braden votes to evict Adele.
Connor votes to evict Adele.
Dylan votes to evict Mark.
Jacob votes to evict Mark.
Jonathan votes to evict Mark.
Luna votes to evict Mark.
Meredith votes to evict Adele, for a hinky vote.
Tiger votes to evict Mark.
Will votes to evict Mark.
X votes to evict Mark.
By a vote of 8-3, Mark has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 13
The next HoH is called "HouseGuest Soup." The Houseguests must sit in a bath tub filled with water. At predetermined intervals, buckets filled with various disgusting items will be dumped into the tub. The last Houseguest sitting in the tub will become the new Head of Household. The competition comes down to the two allies, Braden and Connor. Braden decides to let Connor have it, making him the new HoH!
Braden and Connor are up in the HoH room, and they decide that they should target two social threats who they otherwise wouldn't see leaving for a while. Connor puts up vet Luna, and Tiger.
Connor drew HouseGuest's Choice, and obviously he picked his bro Braden. Adele and Aimee were also drawn to compete.
The PoV is "Communication Breakdown." The Houseguests enter the backyard to see wooden telephone poles. Each Houseguest must correctly connect wires of different lengths to various telephone poles. The first Houseguest to do so will win the Power of Veto. The competition comes down to the two nominees, Tiger and Luna. And the winner of a crucial PoV is..... Tiger!
After the PoV, Luna is afraid that her days are numbered in the house, causing her to have a bit of a breakdown. Meredith sees this, and comes to her and forms a final 2 pact.
Tiger saves himself from the block obviously, forcing Connor to name a replacement. Connor decides to name Dylan as a nominee, a floater who doesn't present any threat at all, hoping that Luna goes home over him.
For the vote, obviously Luna is a bigger player, but can her alliance pull it off and instead send Dylan home? Abel is doubtful that they have the votes, so he may want to just do what the house does, but Aimee and Meredith are determined to do whatever it takes to keep Luna in the house.
Abel votes to evict Luna.
Adele votes to evict Luna.
Aimee votes to evict Dylan.
Braden votes to evict Luna.
Jacob votes to evict Luna.
Jonathan votes to evict Luna.
Meredith votes to evict Dylan.
Tiger votes to evict Luna.
Will votes to evict Luna.
X votes to evict Luna.
By a vote of 8 to 2, Luna has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 12
The final 12 HoH is called "By the Numbers." The Houseguests stand in the back yard answering questions about the players remaining in the game. The answer to each question will be a number between 0 and 9. Players are eliminated by answering questions incorrectly. The last player remaining wins Head of Household. The competition comes down to Jacob and Abel, two people on opposite sides of the house. And the new HoH is.......... Jacob!
Jacob decides that there are more than a few people who have come for his alliance, and now he wants to use this week for vengeance. He nominates Jonathan, who put up his allies the first week, and he puts up Meredith, who is clearly working and voting against them. Tiger has a bit of a breakdown after this, because he suspects that Jacob is trying to backdoor him.
Tiger, Aimee, and X are all picked to play in veto.
The PoV is called "Coast for the Most." Houseguests enter the backyard to see two large chairs and one raised platform in the center with different sections, each labeled with a week number. The Houseguests will take turns tossing coasters with the faces of the evictees onto the correct numbered section for the week they were evicted. For each correct answer, they will earn a point. The Houseguest with the most points at the end will win the Power of Veto! It comes down to X, an ally of the HoH, and Jonathan, a nominee. The winner of the PoV is........ Jonathan!
After the PoV, just like her ally last week, Meredith thought her game was ending so she had a bit of a breakdown.
Obviously Jonathan saved himself, so Jacob just put up Dylan, a player who so far has done next to nothing, so that Meredith would go home.
If tensions weren't already running high this week, Jonathan and Jacob butted heads and got into a big argument over the entire week, ending in Jacob flipping Jonathan's mattress over.
It seemed like another week were the vote was clear, but Braden and Connor again wanted to shake it up. They were afraid of Dylan being put up every week and skating by, so they voted for him. Abel and Aimee knew they didn't have the votes to keep their ally, so they voted along with the house.
Abel votes to evict Meredith.
Adele votes to evict Meredith.
Aimee votes to evict Meredith.
Braden votes to evict Dylan.
Connor votes to evict Dylan.
Jonathan votes to evict Meredith.
Tiger votes to evict Meredith.
Will votes to evict Meredith.
X votes to evict Meredith.
By a vote of 7-2, Meredith has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 11
At this point in the game, we're left with lots of pairs. Aimee and Abel, Braden and Connor, Jonathan and Tiger, and X and Jacob. With Will, Adele, and Dylan floating around somewhere in the middle.
The next HoH is called "Big Brother Disco." The Houseguests each hang from disco balls. If they fall, they are eliminated. The last Houseguest remaining on their disco ball is the new Head of Household. The competition came down to two previous HoHs, Connor and Abel. And our new HoH is.......... Abel!
Abel wants to FINALLY give X what's coming to him. FINALLY. He puts up Braden and Adele as initial nominees, with intentions to backdoor X.
At the veto selections, Abel drew the HouseGuest's Choice chip, and picked his closest ally and fellow vet, Aimee. Jacob and Jonathan were also drawn to compete.
The PoV was OTEV. It came down to Jacob, an ally of X, and Abel. The PoV winner is...... Abel!
It looks like X's fate is sealed.... until he holds a big house meeting. At the meeting he talks about how he's a changed person and player, and he apologizes to Abel for targeting some of his allies. He also says he'll throw all competitions. He secretly tells Abel up in the HoH room that he wants a vet to win, and he'll do anything to help Abel's game.
At the veto ceremony, Abel believed X's big speech, so he didn't use the PoV, leaving floater Adele, and Connor's best man, Braden up on the block.
In anticipation of the big vote, Braden did everything he could to improve relationships in the house. Meanwhile, Connor tells everyone a heartfelt story as to why he wants to win to tug on the heart strings of some HouseGuests.
Braden was the week's target, but luckily with some of his social skills, he was able to flip some votes. Aimee and Abel wanted Adele gone, as did Dylan. Jonathan and Tiger wanted Braden gone, as did X and Jacob. However, X and Braden had bonded a lot this week and X saw himself working with Braden working forward, so he flipped the vote.
Aimee votes to evict Adele.
Connor votes to evict Adele.
Dylan votes to evict Adele.
Jacob votes to evict Braden.
Jonathan votes to evict Braden.
Tiger votes to evict Braden.
Will votes to evict Braden.
X votes to evict Adele.
By a vote of 4-4, Abel must break the tie.
Abel gets up and decides to evict Adele, sending her home.
Final 10
The final 10 HoH was called "True Colors." The Houseguests must hang on to the edge of a paint can. The last Houseguest standing will become the new Head of Household. The competition came down to Braden, who just survived the block by the skin of his teeth, and Jonathan, who voted to evict Braden. And the winner of the HoH is....... Braden! Making a complete 180 going to the HoH room from the block.
Braden is ready to get revenge on people who almost got him evicted. He decided to put up Abel, he wanted to give him a chance in the PoV, and he put up Will, who voted to evict him, but he was also a pawn.
Connor, Tiger, and Jonathan were drawn to compete in the PoV.
This PoV is called "Human Guinea Pigs." Each Houseguest stands by a large box of blocks on one end of a balance beam. They must transport the blocks from one end to the other, one at a time. The first Houseguest to transport all of their blocks to the opposite end wins the Power of Veto. The competition comes down to Jonathan, and Abel, who is fighting for his life. The winner of the PoV is....... Abel, keeping himself safe for yet another week.
Braden was unsure of who to nominate. He bonded a lot with X this week. He looked at who voted for him last week. Jonathan, Tiger, and Jacob. He decided to put up Jacob, since Jacob is X's #1, and with Jacob gone, Braden will become X's #1.
Connor started to call Dylan out for being a floater and not doing anything in the game, which caused a fight between the two.
The house obviously wants to get rid of the bigger threat Jacob, over Will, the pawn.
Abel votes to evict Jacob.
Aimee votes to evict Jacob.
Connor votes to evict Will for a hinky vote.
Dylan votes to evict Jacob.
Jonathan votes to evict Jacob.
Tiger votes to evict Will for a hinky vote.
X decides to stick with the house, and votes to evict Jacob.
By a vote of 5-2, Jacob has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 9
The jury has finally begun! Our alliances stand as this: the vets Abel and Aimee, Braden and Connor, and Jonathan and Tiger. X has recently become a free agent, while Dylan and Will have been floating through the game.
The HoH is called "Evicted Statements." Using paddles, the Houseguests will answer a series of True or False questions about statements made by their former housemates after they were evicted. If they answer incorrectly, they are eliminated. The last player remaining becomes the new Head of Household. The HoH came down to Connor and Will. Our new HoH is..... Will! He's been playing an extremely quiet game, so it'll be interesting to see where his head is at.
Will decides he wants to target two big comp beasts, so he puts up Abel and Connor. He has faith he can beat either in a PoV.
Connor draws the HouseGuest's Choice chip and picks his closest ally Braden to play. Dylan and Jonathan are also picked.
The PoV is called "BB Scorpion." The Houseguests enter the backyard to see BB Main Street, with various shops each round, the Houseguests must estimate how many of a certain object in one of the shops there are. They can either stay or fold after hearing the other guesses. Between the Houseguests that stay, the one that is closest earns a point, while the furthest is eliminated. The first Houseguest to earn three points or the last Houseguest standing will win the Golden Power of Veto. The competition comes down to Jonathan and nominee, Connor. The PoV winner is...... Connor!
Since Connor saves himself, Will has to name a replacement. He thought it'd be shitty to put Aimee up next to Abel, and since Connor was able to save himself he didn't want to put up his closest ally, so he decided to target the duo of Jonathan and Tiger. He saw Tiger as more threatening, so he put Tiger up against Abel.
Jonathan and Dylan get into a big argument over each other's games. Dylan is sick and tired of people underestimating his game.
Aimee and Abel came to X and they asked him to save Abel, since earlier on in the game he said he'd do anything for the vets in the game. Connor and Braden decided that Abel was too big of a competition beast to remain in the game. And, obviously, Jonathan wanted to keep his ally around. This left Aimee voting against Tiger, and Braden, Connor, and Jonathan voting against Abel, with Dylan and X in the middle. Aimee worked on getting Dylan to her side, which was easy since he was harassed earlier in the week by Jonathan, leaving X as the swing vote. Will he stick to his word about vets and keep Abel? Or will he pull an X move and backstab someone who trusts him?
Aimee votes to evict Tiger.
Braden votes to evict Abel.
Connor votes to evict Abel.
Dylan votes to evict Tiger.
Jonathan votes to evict Abel.
X votes to evict Abel.
By a vote of 4-2, Abel has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 8
The HoH is called "Swamped." The Houseguests must transfer water from one jug to another jug at the end of a slippery lane. There are three jugs - one that awards the HOH position, one that awards $10,000, and one that awards safety for the week. The Houseguest that fills the HOH jug first will become the new Head of Household. The competition came down to Tiger and Connor, two people in strong duos. The winner of the HoH was..... Tiger!
People were expecting Tiger to nominate the two votes against him, Aimee and Dylan. However, Tiger didn't care about Dylan, he wanted to make a move. So, he shocked people when he put Aimee and comp beast Connor on the block.
Connor drew the HouseGuest's Choice chip and picked his final 2 Braden to play. Jonathan and Dylan were also picked to play.
The PoV is called "Playing It Dirty." Houseguests enter the backyard to see five pits of mud. They must jump into their pits to find keys that will unlock three golden vetoes and one silver veto. The first Houseguest to unlock all of their vetoes and place them on the other end of their pit will win the Power of Veto! In addition, the first Houseguest to unlock their silver veto will win a luxury prize! The competition came down to Jonathan, the final 2 of the HoH, and Connor, one of the nominees. The winner of the final 8 PoV is..........
Connor! He's able to take himself off the block yet again!
Since Connor saved himself, Tiger decided to put up the man who nominated him just last week: Will. So, it was Will v. Aimee on the block.
X, who is shockingly playing a totally under the radar game, forms a bond with Connor, in hopes that if he continues to win competitions, he'll keep X safe.
The vote seemed obvious that Aimee, a way bigger target than Will would go. Braden wanted her gone, but Connor was unsure because Will put him up just last week. Dylan decides that Aimee is the person he's closest to in the game, and the only person he can really trust, so he's saving her.
Braden votes to evict Aimee.
Connor votes to evict Will, going against his alliance.
Dylan votes to evict Will.
Jonathan votes to evict Will, as a hinky vote.
X votes to evict Aimee.
By a vote of 3-2, Aimee is safe. Will has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 7
After last week's shocking blindside, everything was up in the air. The only final 2 pacts were Jonathan and Tiger, and Braden and Connor. And oddly enough, those were the only 4 who have won competitions. Aimee seemed to get on well with Dylan, and X was playing by himself.
The HoH is called "Big Hoppurtunity." The Houseguests enter the Easter-themed backyard. With their feet tied together, they must maneuver an Easter egg through chicken wire to get it out. They must then hop it over to the other side and place it down. The first Houseguest to collect 12 eggs will become the new Head of Household! In addition, the Houseguests who have collected the least amount of eggs at the end will wear a chicken suit for part of the week! The competition came down to Jonathan and Connor. The final 7 HoH is.... Connor! Continuing his beasting through these competitions.
Connor has made it clear that he doesn't respect Dylan's game, and they've foughten over it. He also decides that Tiger is a big threat that isn't on his side, so he puts up Dylan and Tiger.
Connor draws HouseGuest's Choice and of course picks Braden. X and Aimee are drawn to play.
The PoV is called "Back In Time." The Houseguests walk into the backyard where they see a time machine. They will enter this time machine to be brought to the 'prehistoric time' where they must be the first Houseguest to complete the 'first ever Power of Veto' out of stone puzzle pieces. The first Houseguest to do so will win the Golden Power of Veto. The competition came down to HoH Connor and nominee Dylan. The winner of the PoV is.... Dylan! His first competition win came at the most important time.
Since Dylan used it on himself, Connor had to name a replacement. Braden was his #1, he is pretty close to X, so that leaves Aimee and Jonathan. This week, Connor and Jonathan had bonded extremely well, and became very close. He also just thought it'd be wrong to nominate the other duo right next to each other, and Aimee had a chance to save herself in the veto, so he put Aimee up next to Tiger.
Dylan's closest ally was Aimee, while Jonathan's was Tiger, so that left Braden and X in the middle. Since X and Aimee had a bit of a rivalry since he flipped on her and sent Abel home, and he voted for her last week (Not to mention they've been targeting each other since week 1.), X was voting Aimee. This left Braden and Connor in the middle. If they wanted Tiger out, Tiger would go out, if they wanted Aimee out, Aimee would go out. They decided that splitting up the next strongest duo after them was more important, and since Aimee was so bad at comps, they could get her out whenever.
Braden votes to evict Tiger.
Dylan votes to evict Tiger.
Jonathan votes to evict Aimee.
X votes to evict Aimee.
By a vote of 2-2, Connor must break the tie and evict either Tiger or Aimee.
He gets up in front of the two and decides to evict.....
Tiger.
Final 6
Braden and Connor were the strongest duo in the game, they seemed impossible to stop at this point. Dylan was close to Aimee, and X and Jonathan were free agents, but they were also close to Connor. It's Connor's game to lose at this point.
The HoH is called "King of the Jungle." Houseguests must hang on swinging vines that periodically slam into walls. The last Houseguest remaining on their vine becomes the new Head of Household! The competition comes down to Braden and X, who swore he'd never win a competition. He kept to his oath, and Braden became the new HoH!
Connor told Braden to nominate Dylan and Aimee, but Braden had his own agenda, he wasn't there to play for Connor. He decided to nominate Aimee, but rather than Dylan he put up Jonathan, a big threat, who was also a little too close to Connor for Braden's comfort.
Since only 6 players are left, everyone is playing in the PoV. The PoV is called "Tumblin' Dice." The Houseguests are randomly ordered. Each round, the Houseguest whose turn it is will choose an opponent. They will stand inside large dice and will race to get a certain number facing up. The first to do so wins the round, while the other is eliminated. The last Houseguest standing wins the Golden Power of Veto. The competition comes down to nominee Jonathan and Connor. The winner of the PoV is.... Connor!
Connor and Jonathan are extremely close, but in the end, Connor respected Braden's wishes (they were a final 2 after all) and he kept the nominations the same.
Dylan tries to convince people that X needs to go SOON. He's been playing such a quiet game, he's afraid of what he's capable of once it gets down to the nitty gritty. Connor and Aimee get into an argument because Connor doesn't respect the way she plays, especially as a vet, and Aimee thinks Connor's head is getting too big from all his competition wins.
For the vote, no one is quite sure what to do. Dylan is saving Aimee for sure, but X thinks it might be in his best interest to keep Aimee, a weaker player around. Although Connor and Aimee got into a fight, he's thinking the same thing.
Connor votes to evict Jonathan.
Dylan votes to evict Jonathan.
X votes to evict Jonathan.
By a vote of 3-0, Jonathan has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 5
The alliances stand at Braden and Connor on one side, and Aimee and Dylan on the other. X is sort of in the middle, but leaning heavily towards Braden and Connor.
The HoH is called "I Have A Secret." Each Houseguest has a mirror image standing next to a small platform. While standing on the platform, each Houseguest must hold one hand over the button on their identical counterpart's mouth. If they release the button, they will be eliminated from the competition. The last Houseguest remaining in the competition will become the new Head of Household. The competition comes down to X and Aimee. Since X swore he'd through every competition, he let Aimee have it, making her the final 5 HoH!
Aimee decided that instead of putting up Connor and Braden, she didn't want X to go unnominated, so she put up Connor and X.
The competition is called "Zingbot 3000." The Houseguests must cross a balance beam to bring back pieces which they must use to complete a puzzle. The first Houseguest to complete this puzzle will win the Golden Power of Veto. The competition comes down to the two nominees, Connor and X. X decided that now was the opportune time to go back on his word for the millionth time in this game, and he won the final 5 PoV! It was the final 5 PoV the last time that screwed him over.
Obviously, X saved himself from the block. Aimee's only options were Braden and her ally Dylan, so obviously she put Braden on the block.
Dylan calls X out for breaking his deal, and X thinks Dylan is ridiculous for even thinking he would stay true to that. X starts planting seeds in people's heads that Dylan should go ASAP.
Even though they didn't get along, for this vote, Dylan and X were on the same page. Connor was too good at competitions for his own good.
Dylan votes to evict Connor.
X votes to evict Connor.
By a vote of 2-0, Connor has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Final 4
Aimee and Dylan were allies, and Braden and X had somewhat of a close bond to one another, and they had to stick together to avoid getting picked off by the other two.
The final 4 HoH is called "Foggy Memory." The Houseguests stand in between steps, each labeled with the word 'before or 'after.' Each round the Houseguests must decide if one event read by Julie Chen happened before or after a second event. If they are correct, they will earn a point. The Houseguest with the most points at the end of the competitions will become the new Head of Household. The competition came down to Braden and Dylan. The final 4 HoH is...... Dylan!
Dylan and Braden talk, and they both don't want a vet to win the game, so they make a deal to keep the other safe. Dylan knows nominations don't matter here, so he puts up X and Aimee, to show Braden that he was serious.
The final PoV competition is called "Web of Lies." The Houseguests enter the backyard and stand in their individual section, with various clues connected by white lines resembling a spider web on the walls. The Houseguests must read the clues and connect each Houseguest's face, on the body of a fly, to the clues that refer to them. The first Houseguest to correctly place their faces will win the final Golden Power of Veto! It came down to the two veterans, Aimee and X. The winner of the final PoV is

Due to X winning PoV, Braden is put up against Aimee by default, and it's up to X to decide which to evict and which to take to the final 3.
Over the week, X and Braden bond extremely well and form a final 2 pact. Will X actually keep his pact? Or will he shock everyone by taking his enemy to the final 3?
X gets up in front of the nominees and decides to evict...

Final 3
The final 3 have all done lots to get here. Dylan, Braden, and X have won key competitions and evicted big players to get this far.
The first part of the final HoH is called "Hook, Line, and Sinker." The Houseguests sit on a fishing hook, suspended over a large pond. If they fall off of the hook, they are eliminated. The last Houseguest remaining on their hook will win part one of the final HOH competition and will advance to part three. It comes down to Dylan and X. The winner of part 1 is........ Dylan!
Part 2 is between X and Braden. It is called "Ancient BB-gypt." The two losers of part one walk out into the backyard, which has been decorated to look like ancient Egypt. In front of them is a huge wall. Scattered around the backyard are the faces of various Houseguests. They must place the faces of the two final nominees of each week in order up on the wall. The Houseguest to do so in the fastest time wins part two of the final HOH competition advances to part three. The winner of part two is...

X!
In part 3, we have a showdown. X and Dylan have both been vocal about how they want the other out, and here they are. This is the most important challenge of the entire season. It's called "Scales of Just Us." The Houseguests each stand on their individual platforms attached to a large scale. Each round, Julie Chen will read the beginning of a statement. The Houseguests must decide how a certain Juror completed each statement. If they are correct, they earn a point and their scale moves up. The Houseguest with the most points at the end becomes the final and most important Head of Household! The final HoH of the summer is....

X! Now he must choose between Dylan or Braden to take to the finals!
X knew that Braden played a good social game, but Dylan's game was probably not as respected by the jury. However, Dylan got less blood on his hands. X and Braden were very close, but would X go back on his ally, the way he always does?
X got up and decided to evict...
