Episode 7 - HoH and Nominations

Previously on Big Brother Teens, after a week of twists and turns, the HouseGuests are back on a clean slate. Harold won the HoH and nominated Heather and Aria, with the intent of having Heather leave the house. However; after upsetting the house with her vicious words, Aria got herself in the hotseat with everyone, and her only safety was winning the Veto. However, Kyle won it and didn't use it, getting Aria sent out on a unanimous vote. Who will the new HoH be, and will their win affect the balance of the house at all? Find out now on Big Brother Teens!

 The HouseGuests were all in the backyard, wet and fighting for the HoH. They were all moving their stilts across and falling into the water over and over. Everyone thought it was over when Valerie got about 15 feet across, but one false move sent her into the water. "Crap!" she yelled, and everyone got back to going across. 

Valerie: Ugh! I was so freaking close!

About 45 minutes later, everyone was getting the hang of what to do. Everyone was taking it one step at a time and taking their time, so they were getting farther each time. Halfway through the course, Talon, Kyle, and Emma were neck-and-neck. Kyle made his next step, while Talon tried to follow suit. However, he took a wrong turn and fell into the water. Next to try was Emma, who made it and tried to put another platform in front of her. This time, she wobbled a little, and fell into the water. Kyle then picked up his pace, moving his stilts quicker. He was at arm's length of the final platform, so he reached out and.... "Congratulations Kyle, you are the new Head of Household!" Julie told him. He jumped off of his platform and screamed with joy. His partner, Liam, high-fived him, and he got hugs and pats on the back from the others.

Kyle: YES! Head of Household baby! Time to make big moves and choose what goes down this week! *grins* Maybe even making a power move or two...

Then came the twist. "As Head of Household, you have to make hard choices. This time is no different. You have to choose four people to be the Have Nots for the week," Julie told him. Suddenly the mood in the backyard dropped. No one wanted to make eye contact with Kyle for the fear of being nominated again. Then, he made his decision. "I am gonna choose the three people who haven't been Have Nots yet, which are Valerie, Michael, and Tristen, and I will also choose Talon because you have the biggest gap between now and your last time being a Have Not," Kyle told them.

Kyle: I tried to be as fair with my decision as possible, just so that no one could say that I am doing this as an attack on them or something.

The HouseGuests walked back into the house, and everyone skipped the slop buckets to go and strategize. The four Have Nots went into their room and sat in their chairs. "God I hate this room," Talon said, "I really wish he would have chosen someone else." Valerie, Tristen, and Michael agreed. Michael added, "Well, it looks like no one's gonna have a season without being a Have Not. Yay for equality I guess." They all laughed and tried to make their living areas as comfortable as possible. After tidying up as much as they possibly could and settling down for the night, Michael said, "So what do you guys think of having a final four right here?" The other three were already in a final three together, and they had Heather as their fourth, but they agreed anyway, since you can never be too safe. "Yeah, definitely," Talon said. Tristen added, "I think we are a good group. Everyone gets along pretty well, and we do well enough at comps." The four of them put their hands together groggily and broke apart, drifting off into sleep.

In the HoH partner suite, Emma and Liam were cuddled up, laughing, and kissing, when Kyle walked in. "Can you guys pipe down? I'm trying to get some sleep," he inquired and went back to bed. The two of them rolled their eyes and continued to do what they were doing. He walked back in and got louder. "Can you two disattach yourselves for one night so I can sleep? Thanks!" he demanded. "Why don't you leave? We are staying here and doing what we want, so stop asking!" Emma yelled. Emma, Kyle, and Liam ended up in a three-way screaming match at 3:00 in the morning, which woke up some of the other HouseGuests. In the end of this, Kyle left his own HoH room and went downstairs to sleep in his original bed. 

Kyle: When a person has to leave their own HoH room because of the behavior of two people next door, you know something's wrong. And I won't stand for this at all.

In the original room were Harold, Marina, Heather, and Michael. "I really can't stand them," Kyle exclaimed, "Julie, please end this twist now instead of next week!" The other four laughed, and Marina said, "Well when this twist is done you've got my word to do what has to be done." Kyle high-fived her and went into his original bed, and they all went to sleep.

The next morning, everyone got up pretty early, but mostly because they had no idea what was going to happen as far as nominations. Kyle gathered Talon, Valerie, Harold, Michael, Heather, Marina, and Tristen in the backyard, where they all sat on the sand in their bathing suits. "I just wanna pitch something to you guys. I think I speak for all of us when I say that the relationship between Emma and Liam is getting way to annoying and out of control. So basically, I wanna put one pair up as a pawn to try to get Valerie and Emma to not play for Veto, then have the Veto winner take off the pawn and nominate them. With 8 of us here and 6 voting, we will send Emma home and then no more partners, and we can take down Liam," Kyle proposed. The others pondered the idea, when Valerie chimed in. "Well, I would be all for it if it weren't for the Aria-Heather situation. This is exactly what Aria was doing and look at what happened to her. No, I'm not gonna murder Emma's confidence and put her in a situation like that, but pawns do go home and I don't wanna be one of them. I am not saying that I'm not for this whole plan, but I am saying that I don't wanna go up, so we should wait for singles to do this," she told him.

Valerie: Sure, I want Emma gone, but I am not gonna risk my life in this game for that to happen. If Kyle wants this, he can wait one more week to put it in motion.

The 8 of them dispersed and went off before Liam and Emma noticed that everyone was gone. Back in the house, Emma, Tristen, and Talon went to the storage room to talk. "I don't wanna go up guys," Valerie said, worriedly. Talon patted her on the back and said, "Well, if you do by any chance go up, you have the numbers. And then, we go after Kyle and he goes home, simple as that. He'd be dumb to pull this after you tell him not to, though." They hugged it out, and Tristen added, "I think he will know what's up though. You're safe either way."

That evening, it was the dreaded time. Nominations. Kyle took his keys down and called everyone into the kitchen. "Welcome to the nomination ceremony," he told them, "As Head of Household, it is my duty to nominate one duo for eviction. Because Liam is my partner, he is safe. Along with this, Heather and Marina hold Golden Keys, so they are safe." He and Liam then pulled the first set of keys, that revealed that Emma and Valerie were safe. The two of them put their key necklaces around their necks and pulled the last set. These two keys had Talon and Tristen printed on them, which meant that Harold and Michael were nominated. "I have nominated you, Harold, and you, Michael, for eviction. You are strategic and physically capable players, and you get along well, which means that you may be threats later on in the game when the duos are done. This nomination ceremony is adjourned."

Valerie: I am terrified of what Kyle can do with these nominations. It's not looking too bright for me if I don't win this Veto.

Kyle: I don't wanna let Valerie tell me what to do, but at the same time, I don't wanna burn bridges. I guess I will let the Veto decide what happens.

Who will win this powerful Veto? And will they use it to save Harold and Michael from the block? Find out next time on Big Brother Teens!
