Ovi, shaken by his sudden nomination after the veto ceremony, is campaigningrealhard.
Apparently hard is the only way Ovi knows how to play.
Ovi knows this in some sense, and he sets about convincing people that he should stay.
Jackson, in particular, thinks it could be a good move to have Ovi on their side.
The editing of the episode makes the vote seem closer than it is.
Despite Kat being one of the original targets of Gr8ful, Ovi is voted out unanimously.
Camp Comeback is open, and thats where evicted players will live.
Ovi isnt alone though.
With the eviction ceremony done, its on to crowning a new H.o.H.
The houseguests all head outside into narrow booths, where theyre shown various iterations of fireworks displays.
Then, they have to answer questions posed by Julie Chen about those displays.
Thats huge for a number of reasons.
for his alliance keeps game control in the hands of Gr8ful.
Thats as in control as it’s possible for you to be at this point.
