Tonight’s episode begins with a recap leading up to the nomination of Adam & Dominic for eviction. The scheming begins as Adam and Dominic seek out allies in the house, as there is no telling who will win the PoV competition and if they would use it to save the duo. As HoH, Jordan promises Adam to save his back if he sabotages the PoV competition, a development that would worry Dominic if he knew about it. Dominic meanwhile continues conspire with Daniele, whispering while together on a bed. They’re looking pretty chummy and the body language and playfulness indicates mutual interest. Is theirs a budding shomance? Daniele then talks with Rachel and they’re of the mind that Cassi has to go. Rachel is still upset that Cassi & Shelly weren’t nominated by Jordan. We see a snippet of Lawon walking into a talk between Rachel and Porsche, but nothing yet so far from Kalia and the low-profile Shelly.

After the break, Jordan stands over Jeff while he’s relaxing in bed and gives him an update of what she knows is going on. He says privately says he’s getting fed up with all the game talk with it only two weeks into the game. Jordan talks with Cassi and lets Cassi know that others are targeting her for ouster. It looks like Cassi will go with the flow for now, but she’s not as active as she should be, aware that others are conspiring against her! Rachel and Brendon talk and decide to try to rope Dominic into their camp and make a go of ousting Cassi.

So now it comes down the to PoV competition and Brendon & Rachel are the third duo (chosen with a randomly picked key), along with Jordan & Jeff and Adam & Dominic, with Daniele as the host. Jeff says privately that they want to win to oust Dominic, while Brendon wants to win so that he and Rachel can put Cassi on the block. The competition involves walking a balance beam, putting some bubble gum in the mouth, returning back to spit it out and tacking it up on a board patterned with the Veto symbol. The catch is that falling off the beam leads to 2 weeks of slop, so they have to be careful. Jeff moves quickly and tells Jordan to quit and sit tight and avoid the chance of going on 2 weeks of slop, something that would split them up. Meanwhile, dimwit Rachel does what Jeff had Jordan avoid doing and Rachel finds herself out of competition and on slop after falling off of the beam! It turns into a race between the two vet guys and Dominic. Ever focused on the task, Dominic wins it! In private, Dominic is totally thrilled! He’s now safe and plans to “enjoy the next week”. Rachel meanwhile is all antsy and vocally angry about it, more so because she’s going on slop the next two weeks. Heh-heh-heh, the others are gloating over Rachel’s downfall and subsequent meltdown as karma bites back after all of her previous trash talk.

Brendon tries to calm Rachel down as she falls apart in the garden while the others head into the House. Brendon gives us a clue that there might be a crack in the vet alliance as he tells Rachel that Jeff & Jordan could have put them on the block had they won PoV. Even Jordan says privately that Rachel thinks she has to win every competition. Jeff & Jordan now just want to ride out the storm for a couple of weeks as the fallout of Rachel’s downfall runs its course. Dominic, meanwhile, is reveling in his victory, saying it’s good for him and good for the House that Rachel has gotten a dose of humble pie. Then, the two vet duos meet up to patch things up and resolidify their alliance, but not too successfully as apologies seem forced and Jeff privately says that he and Jordan don’t like to be put down. They’re pragmatic enough to consider ousting Rachel if that’s what it takes for them to move forward. Loyalty in this game is like ice cream — in the summer heat, it melts away in a sticky puddle.

Finally we see Shelly in the same room with Cassi as Jordan invites them up to her HoH room and tells them that they’re the last ones she wants to put up on the block. Cassi is trying to convince Jordan to put Brendon & Rachel on the block now that they have a chance to break them up. Uh oh, now Jeff is talking about splitting up Rachel and Brendon while they have the opportunity, given that a lot of the House would support it. Jordan is now thinking whether to stick with the vet alliance or to “shake things up”. We soon find out.

During the PoV meeting, Dominic obviously chooses to take himself and Adam off the block and Jordan declares who the new duo is to be put on the block — Shelly and Cassi. Shelly knows now that she has to work to keep her relationship advantages intact to stay in the game. So far, no one has talked about taking Shelly out of the game, while Cassi is a clear target mentioned numerous times in the past. As things stand, Cassi is clearly the one in danger of leaving.

So, who will be voted out of the House? Results tomorrow night!
