HOH Competition: Jessie quickly becomes obnoxious during the competition. Libra wanted to get rid of him this week but she had to go with the HOH’s wishes. Jerry becomes the first player to drop out after 26 minutes (time to kiss some more HOH ass Jerry). Libra, who complained about how weark Jerry and Renny were in earlier episodes, only lasts seven minutes longer. Dan decides to once again throw the competition and does a horrible job of acting like he is in so much pain. He drops after 45 minutes and his plan doesn’t really work since Libra knows he threw it.
Ollie and Jessie are the next two out after 55 and 66 minutes respectively. Jessie calls the challenge a “bogus competition,” which I can kind of see since it was clearly geared towards the smaller women. Memphis tries to make a deal with April but since he is struggling mightily, she obviously isn’t willing to deal. He drops out after 76 minutes. Dan gives the final three (Renny, April, and Michelle) a personal pep talk. Renny loses her balance at 1:58. Michelle is in a lot of pain and makes a deal with April for safety. April also says she’ll keep Jessie in the game too since he isn’t her primary target. Michelle drops out after 2:40 and April becomes the new HOH.
Strategy: Now that Steven is gone, Keesha thinks that Memphis could be a good friend. Libra and April overhear the two conversing and think it is unacceptable for Keesha to be talking to him. Renny overhears this and tells Keesha. Renny thinks that the two will be going after Keesha. Keesha finally realizes that the two are after her and that she should have put Libra up while she had a chance. Keesha continues to talk to Memphis and he starts to work her. Memphis reveals April’s deal with Michelle, which Keesha didn’t even know about. April feels disrespected by Keesha since she just “saved her ass.”
America’s Player: Dan wants to target Libra for selfish reasons but knows it probably wouldn’t be good for his game. Luckily, he gets an easy target of Jessie. He pitches Jessie as a nominee to April for awhile. However, this just makes April concerned about Dan. She thinks he may be America’s Player.
Nominations: Jessie and Memphis are nominated for eviction. April thinks putting Jessie on the block is still keeping her word since he isn’t her primary target.
