February 23, 2018
6:00-7:00 PM: During the double eviction episode, Brandi was evicted by a vote of 3-1. Ari cast the lone vote to evict Marissa. Omarosa won the HoH competition, defeating James in a tiebreaker question. Omarosa nominated Ross and Marissa for eviction. Everyone competed in the veto competition. Ross won the Power of Veto. Ross used the Power of Veto on himself. Omarosa nominated James as the replacement nominee. James was then evicted by a vote of 2-1. Julie revealed to the houseguests that the the next eviction will play out normally to bring them down to the Final 4 on Sunday. The Final 4 will then compete in one competition to determine the final HoH. That person will immediately evict two houseguests, bringing them down to the Final 2.
12:00-1:00 AM: Feeds returned following the HoH competition. Ross is the new HoH. Omarosa told Ari that they will be targeting her. Ari said she will be the target if Omarosa wins the veto. Omarosa said Ari needs to stay and fight if she doesn’t win, because nobody can beat her in the jury vote. Omarosa said Ari would have her, Brandi, Keshia, Chuck and Metta voting for her. Omarosa wondered who would be nominated if she wins the veto. Ari said she will get sent home. Omarosa said she is the one they are targeting. Omarosa pointed out that Brandi can now work the jury, as she call them like they discussed last night. Elsewhere, Ross told Marissa that Ari and Omarosa will be nominated. He said he will break the new to Ari, telling her that she is not the target. Ross said Marissa will have to go up if the veto is used. Ross assured Marissa that he will break the tie in her favour if Omarosa votes her out. Marissa understood. They discussed that they are two competition wins away from doing this. Ari joined them. Ross told her that it will be four against one in the veto competition tomorrow. Ross said Ari is not a target of his. Ari questioned if Mark can go if Omarosa wins the veto. Ross said he cannot do that since he made a deal with Mark in the HoH competition. Ross said there is an 80% chance that one of them will win. Ross let Ari know that he will be putting her on the block next to Omarosa. He added that everyone in the house will be fighting to keep the nominations the same so that they can send Omarosa home.
1:00-2:00 AM: Ross told Ari and Marissa that if Omarosa wins the veto tomorrow, she deserves to stay. Marissa agreed. Ross clarified that he does not want that to happen. Ross wondered why Omarosa didn’t nominate James and Mark earlier tonight. Ari said she talked to Omarosa about doing that, but Omarosa said she needs to backdoor James. Ross said that’s what they were going to do had they won HoH. Later, in the kitchen, there were talks about tonight’s events. Omarosa said James didn’t want to make a deal. She said he was so afraid to appear that he was making a deal. She thought that he should have at least tried. Mark said James thought he was going to be the one going, and he was a little shocked after coming so close in the HoH competition. It was also mentioned that Omarosa wouldn’t have taken the deal anyway. She agreed that she probably wouldn’t have. Marissa said she thought that she was going home. Mark said there was no way. He said he or James were going. Omarosa brought up that she kept talking about Marissa in order to distract James from talking. Ross and Mark spoke alone. Ross told Mark he is not going home. They discussed that the final HoH will be wide open for anyone to win. Ross brought up that there were six women and five men, and the women were organized, yet they would end up with two men in the end. Mark said it would be insane, especially considering the girls alliance at the start of the game. Ross said a girl will win if they are at the end, which is why he cannot take Marissa to the Final 2. Mark told Ross his only chance will be with him or with Omarosa. Ross said he doesn’t want to be there with Omarosa, and his goal is to do what the two of them have always discussed. Ross added that he feels as though he has paid his debts being really loyal to Marissa, so she will understand. Afterwards, Ross told Marissa he is grateful for what she has done for him in the game. Marissa said she is grateful for Ross as well, because everyone told her you need to have that one person you can trust. She said she never questioned him. Ross said it’s because it was true.
2:00-3:00 AM: Ross told Ari that he really wants her to stay. Ari said she wants to stay. Ross asked who Ari will take to the Final 2. Ari said she is taking Ross. Ross said he would get second place, but he would love to get second place to her. Ross said he has positioned it to where everyone knows to save Ari. He said he made it part of the deal that Mark would not use the veto, and that he would vote to evict Omarosa. Ross said he wants to look out for Ari. Ari promised she will take Ross to the end. Ross thanked Ari for saying that. She asked if he had doubled it. Ross said they had just never talked about it. Ari said Ross is her closest person in the house after Brandi.
