Big Brother: Over The Top Day 2 - The HoH competition begins
September 29, 2016
1:00-2:00 PM: The houseguests went inside following an outdoor lockdown. There was a bottle of blue liquid on a table in the living room. The card next to it said “Only One May Drink”. It also said to “expect the unexpected”. Shane decided to drink it. A recording then played saying that Shane has been infected. He was called to the diary room. Shane returned and explained that the first HoH competition is called “BB Bug”. Given that Shane drank the potion, he is now “infected” and cannot be HoH this week. Once an alarm goes off, Shane will get to pick another person to infect. That person will be eliminated from the competition and cannot be the HoH this week. The process will continue until only one houseguest remains. That houseguest will be crowned the first HoH of the season. Out in the backyard, Monte pointed out to Jason and Shane that the guys are outnumbered 7 to 6. Monte said what he likes about this season is that people are not going to be able to come back if they are evicted, because you don’t have to worry about them impacting the game at that point. Jason explained that he was able to rip his fellow houseguests once he got evicted, impacting the public opinion of them. He said that public opinion is now what matters in this game.
2:00-3:00 PM: Alex told Morgan she has a gut feeling that people are already noticing that they are sisters. They talked about how they brought the same pair of flip flops into the house with them. Morgan said Alex can wear them and she wont, because she brought sandals as well. Alex asked Morgan who she wants to target when she gets the virus. Morgan said Danielle because she thinks that Danielle is working with the guys and she will nominate the girls. Morgan also mentioned Kryssie as someone who may nominate the girls. Furthermore, Morgan worried that Kryssie would target Alex. In the bedroom, Shane told Monte that he is thinking about eliminating Kryssie from the competition. He explained that he wants a girl out and he does not get a good vibe from her. Shane said Kryssie is a very strong competitor. Monte doesn’t expect her to last long, because she will likely clash with one of the girls. Monte and Shane discussed that they have a bromance and are the leaders of their alliance with Cornbread and Scott. Monte said he is willing to be HoH if he needs to be. While they had originally discussed making sure that a girl does not win HoH, Monte wondered if it would be fine if one does since the guys are likeable and the only ones that may go up are Justin and Scott. Shane asked if he should eliminate Kryssie or just give it to Whitney. Monte said Whitney is loved by everyone, which is why Shane believed that she may not want to get any blood on her hands. They said that Shane should talk to Whitney beforehand. A short while later, the alarm went off and Shane had to choose to eliminate someone from the HoH competition. Shane eliminated Danielle.
3:00-4:00 PM: The alarm went off for the second time. Danielle went around the house to ask if anyone wants to be given the BB Bug. Justin said he would take it. Danielle then gave decided to pass it on to Justin, eliminating him from the HoH competition. Shane approached Cornbread to let him know that the plan is to have one of the four members of their group win HoH. The four are Shane, Scott, Cornbread and Monte.
4:00-5:00 PM: The alarm went off for the third time. Justin gave the BB Bug to Shelby, eliminating her from the HoH competition.
5:00-6:00 PM: When the alarm went off, Shelby decided to eliminate Scott from the HoH competition. Out in the hammock, Shane asked Danielle about her and Justin. Danielle said he is super funny and hilarious but that’s it. Shane mentioned that he likes Jason. Danielle said she likes Jason and Justin. She thinks that they are well liked within the house, though she wondered if people would get annoyed by Justin since they are not used to someone like him. Danielle told Shane that if you get evicted the first week, it means you weren’t able to get sympathy from anyone. Danielle doesn’t think that anyone would nominate Cornbread or Scott at this point. Elsewhere, Alex told Whitney that Shane slipped up and said he is safe. She thinks that he knows something and that’s why he is way too calm even though he was the first to be eliminated from the HoH competition. The girls wondered who they should go after if they get the BB Bug. Alex said she is scared to go after Jason because he is a firecracker. Whitney agreed and said she is also scared to go after Neeley. Alex felt the same way but thought that they would have to do it anyway. Whitney commented on how Danielle seems like she is going to go wherever Justin goes. Alex thinks that Danielle follows Jason around as well. Meanwhile, Cornbread told Monte that he is thinking about nominating Shelby if he wins HoH. Monte said America wont like who he is thinking about putting up, because it is Jason. Monte explained that even though Jason is a cool dude, he is dangerous.
6:00-7:00 PM: Alex told Morgan that if she gets the BB Bug, she needs to target the three people outside because everyone is scared to. The three people they were referring to are Jason, Kryssie and Neeley. Alex also told Morgan to get close to Monte. Morgan said that is her game plan because she thinks that he is someone who they can trust. Alex added that he is very opinionated and you don’t want him to be against you. Morgan thought that Monte would spread it around the house that you can be trusted if he feels that way about you. Alex and Whitney then spoke to Monte about going after the three outside to get them out of the competition. It was then time for Scott to choose who to infect with the BB Bug. Scott chose Neeley, eliminating her from the HoH competition. During dinner, Neeley told the houseguests to let her know if they are willing to take the BB Bug next, otherwise she will put everyone’s name in a hat and have someone pull one out because she doesn’t have any negative feelings towards anyone.
7:00-8:00 PM: While Shane showered, Monte approached him to let him know that Alex and Whitney asked about him because they heard him say something about being safe. Monte said he had Shane’s back and he thinks that they are good with those girls. Monte thinks that the girls can help them. It was then time for the next elimination. Neeley infected Kryssie, eliminating her from the HoH competition.
8:00-9:00 PM: Kryssie infected Morgan, eliminating her from the HoH competition. Monte told Alex and Shane that he doesn’t trust Jason, Kryssie or Neeley. Monte pointed out that Jason has been there before, making him a threat. Alex said that America would likely respect whoever has the balls to nominate Jason. Whitney then joined them. Monte told the group that he needs to know that they will have his back because he is thinking about going after Jason. Monte said he wants HoH. Alex said they need someone to use the BB Bug on Jason. Whitney told her that Morgan is going to do it next. Shane headed upstairs to talk to Cornbread, letting him know that the three big targets right now are Jason, Kryssie and Neeley. Cornbread was concerned about Shelby showing signs of not trusting them. Whitney then joined them. Shane assured her that Cornbread has her back. After Cornbread left, Shane admitted that he is not really afraid of Jason. He said he prefers to get Kryssie out over Neeley. Whitney agreed.
9:00-10:00 PM: Jason and Shelby discussed that nobody will want to give the BB Bug to Cornbread. Jason expects that it will come down to him and Cornbread at the end, with Cornbread getting HoH and him being evicted. Jason told Morgan that he expects things to play out that way.
11:00-12:00 AM: Morgan let Monte know that she is worried about getting a big target on her back in the event that she eliminates Jason from the competition and then he doesn’t go home for some reason. She thought that giving it to Whitney may be the better option, because Whitney is unlikely to hold a grudge. Back out in the backyard, Jason told Shelby that he is not going to fight the alpha males this year. He thought that it would be better to use them as a bigger threat in front of him. Jason said he could convince Monte and Shane to roll with him if he wins HoH. Jason thought that his only shot at getting in on a majority alliance is to win the first HoH. Shelby said that she has not been clicking with people either. Kryssie joined them and asked Jason if he wants to win HoH. Jason said he only does because he feels as though he is nobody’s best friend. Jason continued on to say that if he was a newbie with a veteran in the house, he would say that the veteran already had their chance. Jason said he is fine with going home second but he cannot go home first after he quit his job for the second time. Kryssie agreed and told Jason that he deserves this just like the rest of them do. In the bathroom, Monte told the sisters that he can tell Jason is going to come after him or Shane. Morgan was still concerned about eliminating Jason from the competition. Cornbread stopped by and told Morgan to give him the BB Bug and then he will give it to Jason in order to get him out. They discussed trying to get Monte in power as HoH. Cornbread later spoke to Shane about the plan to get Jason out of the competition. Cornbread said he needs them to have his back if he is going to get blood on his hands by taking Jason out. Cornbread wants Jason on the block if he does that.
