It's time for your first Power of Veto competition. The HOH and two nominees automatically get to play. The other three are determined at random courtesy of random.org

So the players are:
Rachellove
huzzah
Swagger55
joey65409
DaveRCB
Skyeee123

This competition is called "Strike Out!" And here's how it works: Each houseguest playing has three strikes. You will mail me how you want those strikes to be distributed among the other players. You can only place ONE strike per houseguest. Once all houseguests have mailed me in their selections, I will post the results. At the end, the houseguest with the fewest strikes will win the Power of Veto. Feel free to mail me if you have any questions. You have 24 hours to complete the competition. Good luck!

Good luck everyone

3/6 houseguests have competed

4/6 houseguests have competed. Also if you fail to compete, you forfeit the competition.

5/6 houseguests have competed

All houseguests have completed the competition, therefore I will go ahead and announce the results.

Rachellove, Huzzah, Swagger55, Joey65409, DaveRCB, and skyeee123, you all fought really well for this win

I can now announce that neither Joey or Dave have won as the received the most strikes, 4 strikes each.

Huzzah and Swagger55, the two nominees, also did not win. They each received 3 strikes.

That means either Rachellove or skyeee123 will win the Power of Veto!

But first, they must break the tie since they have BOTH received 2 strikes.

The tie-breaking question is:

In the first HOH competition, what was the LOWEST number selected by a houseguest. The player closest to the number WITHOUT going over will win the Power of Veto. If both of you go over, the closest will win! I will announce the results once both have submitted an answer

With the lowest number selected being 23....

Congratulations Rachellove! You have won the Power of Veto! You have 24 hours to decide whether or not you will be using the Power!

You will announce your decision in the LIVING ROOM forum!
