Frankie and Caleb (HOHs) talk, and they decide they should work together. For one, they are both HOH right now, and two--no one would ever expect them working together in the future. So, once they decided to work together, they decided to drum up an army. They pull in Devin and Derrick. The 4 of them decide they would like to pull in Zach and possibly Cody. New alliance name: The Bomb Squad. They think this alliance will be awesome because they have lots of different styles and skills so they have a good chance of winning just about any competition. They don't think the girls are smart enough to suspect anything. Their major goal in this game is to eliminate the weak and the floaters. Hallelujah!
I love this alliance, and I hope they can stick together long enough to execute this plan. The only problem is that Cody and Derrick are not sold on this alliance 100%. They both secretly said that it's so early in the game to be committing to an alliance, and they don't really know each other that well yet. Cody said he wasn't sure if he was joining the next Brigade (dominant alliance of Hayden, Lane, Enzo and Matt that got 3 of the 4 to the final 3) or the Moving Company (the failure all-male alliance of season 15 that saw it's members decimated in the first couple weeks).
Devin now decides he is going all-in for the Bomb Squad, because he thinks it's better for his game, and he's decided to drop his alliance with Donny. Although, he's going to continue to let Donny think that they are still working together.
Nomination Discussion
Caleb and Frankie discuss options for nominations. They decide they need to nominate a guy and a girl so that no one is suspicious of an all-guy alliance.
They each have to draw an egg to find out if they are nominating first or second. This sort of answers the question of what if they want to nominate the same people. Caleb drew #1, so he was allowed to select his nominees first. When Frankie goes to make his selection, he can only choose from the remaining keys.
Nomination Ceremony*
Caleb nominates: Donny and Paola (he based his decision on they were both the first male and female to fall off in their HOH competition)
Frankie nominates: Victoria and Brittany (he picked the first 2 to fall off in the 2nd HOH competition)
Victoria was devastated because she thought her and Frankie were close. He tells her that Caleb voted first and if Paola's name would have still been available, he would have picked her instead. Donny said he wasn't surprised because he hasn't had much time to bond with Caleb. I am so happy Paola is nominated! She needs to go...she is so annoying!
*Can I just say: HALLELUJAH! There is finally a change in the Nomination Ceremony! No longer do they have to spin the box and pull keys out, and then fakely thank the HOH for keeping them safe! Now, the HOH says "the first person I nominate is..." and when they turn the key and their face shows up on the screen behind them. This makes the ceremony so much shorter, and gets right to the point. LOVE IT!
Bomb Squad Additions
In 1 day, the Bomb Squad is hitting the "self-destruct" button and it's about to implode...
Devin...ON HIS OWN...decides that they need to pull in the 2 strongest girls into their alliance because all-guy alliances have not worked in the past. Those 2 girls are Christine and Amber. He thinks they can bring inside information to the group. He tells them:
1) There's an all-guys alliance, made up of 6 guys (Nooooooo!)
2) The guys in the alliance are me, Frankie, Caleb, Zach, Cody and Derrick (Nooooooo!)
Holy crap, you IDIOT!!!!!! You cannot just make this decision on your own! And if you want to do this, you HAVE to talk to the other members FIRST! What on earth was he thinking? So, he goes and talks to Caleb in the early morning...poor guy is still asleep, and he tells him that there are 2 girls that they need to add to the alliance. He asks if they know about the alliance, and Devin says they know. He said it was getting old with just 6 guys. Wait...what?!?! Are you kidding me?
Later in the morning, the rest of the guys are told:
1) There are now 2 new members of the Bomb Squad
2) They are 2 girls
3) They know EVERYTHING
Meanwhile, both Christine and Amber are still loyal to the girls. They have no idea why Devin thought he could trust them, and they can't believe that they are being considered as full Bomb Squad members.
The guys...rightly so...are furious with Devin for making such a stupid move and for not consulting with them first. They actually had something good going, and this could have been a great alliance. Now, they have no chance of this working at all. Thanks a lot Devin. In one day's time, he ruined everything.
Battle of the Block
Challenge: nominees swing on swings to get to a fountain. They have to collect champagne from the fountain and throw it to the their team member. The first to fill up their glass wins.
Paola was terrible! It took them all awhile to get their swing started, but she never got the hang of it and was flopping all over the place. Brittany and Victoria did pretty well as a team. I felt bad for Donny. But...of the 4, Paola needs to go home, so we need her and Donny to lose this. But, that also leaves Donny in jeopardy.
Winners: Victoria and Brittany
Remaining Nominees: Donny and Paola
HOH: Caleb
Dethroned HOH: Frankie
