Big Brother USA 2018 - Episode 12 - HoH and Nominations 4

Brand new week and a brand new HoH to be crowned 

When we last saw the houseguests:


  • Winston was evicted by a vote of 6-5
  • Angie went for Brett's throat when he said she had allegedly told him that she was voting to flip the vote and let fruitloop Kaitlyn take the blame
  • And the next battle for power begun when the HoH competition commenced, and it is endurance
No opening credits for this episode, and a word of warning this episode will contain discussion of cultural sensitivity and please bear in mind I'm only writing what I hear, and the opinions are those of the houseguests and not me

The show starts with a disclaimer: "Big Brother is a reality show about a group of people who have no privacy 24/7. At times the Houseguests will reveal prejudices and other beliefs that CBS do not condone. Views or opinions expressed by a Houseguest are those of the individuals speaking and do not represent the views or opinions of CBS. Viewer discretion is advised."

We pick up the action at the start of the HoH competition. In case you missed it, Scottie is ineligible to play as he is the outgoing HoH. Out on A Limb is the name of the competition, and it's endurance. To cut a long story short, the last houseguest left on their platform is the new HoH.

During the competition, we see more flashbacks to Angie v Brett after the eviction, where Brett basically admits he spoke up about Angie. Kaitlyn says she needs to get to the bottom of this situation, and her and Tyler discuss whether or not Tyler flipped the vote and he denies doing so.

Back to the competition we go, and everyone is still on their platforms while BB drop honey and feathers and water on the houseguests

First to fall is Angie, and she starts crying as she dries herself off. Next off is Faysal and Brett is not too far behind which pleases Angie.

Bayleigh goes at 32 minutes, Angela and Rachel go at 41 minutes, and then Haleigh is down at 49 minutes

JC is down at 52 minutes, leaving a final four of Kaitlyn, Tyler, Sam and Kaycee

Kaitlyn falls at 61 minutes, and Kaycee is not far behind leaving Tyler and Sam as the final two

Sam is promising Tyler she will not put him up, resulting in Tyler falling

Winner and new HoH - SAM

She tells us she couldn't be happier, while Angie says she wanted to make her family proud. Back to Sam and she says she has already decided who she wants to put on the block and nobody will change her mind.

In the bedroom, Angie is STILL crying about not winning, and Bayleigh tells her to calm down. Angie considers self evicting, which Bayleigh talks her out of doing. 

In the pantry, Faysal tells JC he (Faysal) has no loyalty to anyone, to which JC tells him he has his back and that Faysal needs people on his block in case he makes it on the chopping and needs defending. JC tells us about his plan with Tyler to flip the votes and blame Kaitlyn, and we see a clip where they are discussing said plan.

Faysal is told that it was Kaitlyn who flipped the vote, but he is unsure who to believe. Shortly afterwards he and Kaitlyn have a discussion and she strongly denies it was her who flipped the vote, and yes she does burst into tears, before Sam screams the words "WHO WANTS TO SEE MY HOH ROOM"

In said room, we see pics of Sam's family and her dog. Sam tells everyone she knows who she is nominating and won't change her mind on that score. She goes on to say that she will entertain discussions AFTER the nominations ceremony, and forbids entry to her HoH room unless accompanied by her or by invitation

Meanwhile, Kaitlyn gets it into her head that Sam has used a power app to flip 2 votes and suggests it to anyone who will listen. Tyler of course knows all about Sam's power, so has to play along that he doesn't so Kaitlyn doesn't catch on that he knows what the power is.

Next up, Angie decides to have a little celebration by bashing pots and pans in Brett's direction. Brett's unfazed by this as he knows it will only succeed in cheesing off the houseguests and does Angie more harm than good in the long term

And now for the debate of the night....

In a nutshell, it was the M word for small people against the N word in which (and I'm only quoting this so please don't swing out at me) Bayleigh said that, as someone who has experienced racism, is considered highly offensive and degrading against African Americans. They then have a discussion about the use of both words, and they both thought they were right in the situation. However they did make a peace pact and reached an understanding and more appreciative of each others culture and each others journey.

Nominations ceremony

Sam decided to nominate HALEIGH and KAITLYN. Her reasons being that the men deserved more respect, which caused the nominees to burst into tears. Don't forget Sam's power app activates automatically, so whoever is the 4th evictee will get a chance to get back in the game

End credits, and to be continued in Episode 13: Power of Veto 4

Final thoughts

A very educational and interesting episode, however it will be a wasted eviction whoever goes as if they do get back in, Sam will be a huge target and you know what they say about revenge....
