As the housemates entered the house, they were told to choose a key. After choosing a key, they had to try the 2 doors that led into the house. Some keys opened the left door and some keys opened the right door. Upon entering the house, the housemates quickly discovered that the house was divided. One side of the house was luxurious and spacious--aka "The Safe House", while the other side was half the size and had basically nothing-- aka "The Halfway House"!
Rules of the Halfway House:
- No climbing the fence or squeezing through the bars
- They will be fed by the Safe House, because they have no food or kitchen on their side of the house
- They are not allowed to eat until everyone in the Safe House has eaten
- They have the only washing machines in the house, so they are responsible for doing all of the laundry of the Safe House housemates

Night 1
The housemates struggle to get to know one another with the wall that is dividing them. The biggest event of the night was when Tahan and Caleb were bummed that they did not have access to the hot tub. So, they decided to (even though they were told not to) squeeze through a hole in the wall and take a dip in the hot tub. Immediately, they were called into the Diary Room. Since Tahan got into the hot tub, she was told to give up her entire suitcase, and because Caleb only went through the wall, he had to give up half of his suitcase.
Twist #1--Married Couple
2 more people enter the house a day later--Jade and Drew. They meet in the Diary Room for the first time and they are told that they have been given a special task. They are to appear as a married couple, and must convince the other housemates that they are married. They get rings and everything, and only a few minutes to come up with their story. Once in the house, Big Brother gives them access to a honeymoon suite where they will sleep and can have alone time..
Naturally, since everyone else has had a day to get to know one another, everyone was all over Jade and Drew firing questions at them left and right. And not just any questions, but very specific questions about their engagement, wedding, and life together. Any time they were separated, they had to fill each other in on things that they told people so that they could be on the same page. Several people (especially Tim and Heidi) were very suspicious of the whole thing.
I for one, think they did a great job, and I think they made an absolutely perfect couple! They were so cute with each other. It seemed like it wasn't all acting. Drew admitted to Jade and to Big Brother that he really likes Jade and that she was his type. However, Jade said that Drew wasn't really her type and wouldn't be someone she would go for on the outside. She told Drew that Ed and Matthew were more her type of guy. Poor Drew just laid there, and you could tell that that really hurt him. I felt so bad for him!
At the end of the week, Big Brother told the housemates that they had to decide whether they believed that Jade and Drew were actually married or not. Up until a day before, even Heidi and Tim were really starting to believe that they were wrong and that they actually were married. But, Jade made a comment about when she got married, it would be to someone really tall, and they she caught herself and said she already had Drew, so... Ben and Matthew were the only 2 who said they believed they were married. The other housemates were called to the Diary Room, where Big Brother asked them one final time, and if they were wrong, they would automatically be nominated. They all stuck with their guts and said they didn't believe them. When back out into the living area, Big Brother finally put all of the speculation to rest, when he played their "wedding" video. So, since Jade and Drew lost the challenge, they are now automatically 2 of the 6 nominated housemates.
Tim's Choice
Tahan and Caleb received their suitcases back...but they were empty! Tahan had a meltdown over her missing hair dryer. In the Diary Room, Big Brother gave Tim an option: have a pint of his favorite ice cream, or give Tahan her hair dryer back. It didn't take long for him to choose the ice cream. He didn't have to, but he told her the choice he was given, and what he decided. Why he chose to tell her, I have no idea.
Surly
Surly the fish makes his first appearance this season, to Heidi...in the bathroom...in the drain. Surly gave Heidi a mission: wear a shirt that says "I Dare You...Nominate Me." She must make everyone believe that she made the shirt herself. If she succeeds, she will win Tahan and Caleb's belongings back, because Surly was the one who stole them. She succeeds and they get their stuff back...minus Tahan's hair dryer.
Showdown
After team competitions, Matthew was left standing as the winner. As the winner, he wins a night in the Presidential Suite, with a person of his choosing. He chose his bromance, Caleb. Also, as the winner, his superpower is that he will choose another housemate as an assassin. That assassin will not know that they have been chosen for anything special, and the other housemates won't know what Matthew's special power was. Matthew chooses Caleb as the assassin. As the assassin, Caleb's votes will be doubled when the housemates make their nominations.
