Knock, knock! Who’s there? So begins tonight’s show with Dominic knocking at the door of Queen Rachel’s HoH chambers. Rachel invites him in and lady-in-waiting Jordan exits the room. Dominic asks Rachel what she thinks about Adam and then Brandon walks in. It’s a conversation that has already been going on for days. From the Diary Room, Dominic privately says, “Rachel, Brandon, you owe me!” Guess what, Dominic. Even if they’re in debt to you for your favors, don’t expect repayment from Queen Rachel and her consort, lest they banish you from the Big Brother realm!

In the padded cell that goes by the name of the Have Not room, Dominic is lazing out with Adam as Daniele walks in and they have a chat. Privately, Daniele jokes about Dominic “He loves me, but I hate him.” Truth be told, she seems to like him, but she won’t let him get in the way of half a million dollars.

It’s time for Veto competition selections. Rachel randomly picks Jack and Jordan out of the key bag and people are not pleased. The vets are in total control here unless one of the two candidates for eviction, Dominic and Adam, win the PoV competition. Porsche will host the PoV competition.

But before the competition begins, the scheming continues. Sitting on the bed with Jeff doing her facial treatments, Jordan asks Jeff if she looks gross and he asks why would she think like that. Then Jeff says he wants Daniele out sooner than later and Jordan says she doesn’t trust her. Watch your back, Evel-ette! Danielle goes and sees Rachel and Brandon and tries to talk them out of keeping Adam and Dominic on the block, suggesting doing a back door maneuver on Jeff and Jordan. But they see through Daniele’s game, “setting herself up in the perfect position”. Now the vets get together and trade notes and wake up to the threat that Daniele and Dominic pose to them.

Now it’s time for the Veto competition! The back yard has a large pool-sized bathtub with what appears to be a giant-sized lady in it who never shaves her legs in the bubbled tub. Ho, ho, ho, it’s the jolly hairy-legged giant! Playing as individuals, the competitors have to pull the peg-sized hairs out of the giantess’ legs and collect them in a basket. Then afterward they will need recreate a word spelt from the letters on the bottom of the pegs. The soap bubble machines turn on and it gets mighty wet and soapy out there.

Dominic is ripping out the pegs to look at the letters, but he’s actually trying to “look legit” as he throws the comp, while Jordan seems clueless about what or how to spell, and Adam is looking for the “P in the pool”! The results? Jordan comes up with the 6-letter word “Little” (yup, she’s happy with size of her intellect), Dominic comes up with 9-letter “Standings” (not bad for trying to throw the comp), Rachel comes up with 13-letter “Mouisturizing” (whoops, she should have left out the first ‘U’ and is disqualified), Adam comes up with 9-letter “Fractions” and Jeff comes up with 9-letter “Expresses” and Brandon comes up with 13-letter “Understanding” to win the comp! (It’s funny how that word keeps coming up, last year and then this year in a quiz and then in this competition.) Rachel and Brandon do a congratulatory kiss and Brandon kisses the PoV necklace in the Diary Room. Dominic is happy Brandon won, since he’s supposed to have a deal to be kept safe by throwing the comp.

Now it’s America’s Vote time, where we get to choose which food the Have Nots get, including a choice of Black Licorice and Blue Cheese, Parsnips and Prunes and Seaweed and Sardines… ick! Sometimes, as the wise ones once said, rather than to have, it is better not to have at all!

Now that Rachel and Brandon hold all of the cards, the scheming continues in full force. During a tanning session, Daniele tries to convince Rachel that it’s to their advantage to keep Dominic on their side. Daniele also says that “I’m never going to turn on you guys, ever, ever”, which kind of defies logic if she ever hopes to win the game. Weighing her options, the befuddled Rachel continues to adopt the simple stance of don’t trust anybody except her partner.

Shelly and Dominic are now in the padded cell as he canvasses for more votes. He’s suggesting to go after Jeff and Jordan, but Shelly doesn’t like that idea as she’s in their camp. Kalia continues to be an invisible non-player. Shelly goes out blabs to Jordan about Dominic’s plans and then Jordan relays this news to the other vets. They suspect Daniele is the mastermind behind the whole anti-vet scheme with Dominic as her pet, so they keep their plans to themselves with the near-term goal of ousting Daniele for trying to break them up. Thus, Dominic is the next logical target as Daniele’s closest ally, while the other newbies (Shelly, Kalia, Lawon and Adam) are still powerless.

With best laid plans decided upon and regardless of what Dominic and Adam have to say in their own defense, Brandon doesn’t use the Veto. Dominic and Adam remain on the block. Dominic says the earlier deal better hold up or he’s out, while Rachel gleefully says privately that Daniele’s ally Dominic is out of here. Privately, Daniele says shes going to come roaring back into the game, gunning for bear! The Golden Key stage of the game is over.

We’re told that there’s yet another twist coming up tomorrow night. What will that twist be and who will be voted off between Adam and Dominic?
