Big Brother 11 Head of Household Spoiler: Who Won the HOH Competition?

Who Won Last Night's Endurance Competition

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS regarding the Big Brother 11 HOH endurance competition on July 29th.


Last night on Big Brother 11, top banana Casey was sent home (sorry, I couldn't resist). Casey burned bridges before the live eviction ceremony, basically calling Jessie and Ronnie out for their lying and snakelike ways. It was one of the best exit speeches in Big Brother history.

Host Julie Chen made an announcement: the high school clique format in which the houseguests had been playing since Day 1, were now broken up. No more cliques, no more protection. This was an expected twist, but it will surely shake up some of the alliances a bit.

Next up was the HOH competition. The houseguests had to sit in a spinning contraption. It looked fun at first, sort of like a carousel. But soon enough they were getting whipped in the head by a giant high school diploma (it looked like it was made out of foam). Then they were sprayed with heavy rains. Finally the spinning got faster.

Chima started complaining that she was dizzy pretty early on. According to the Big Brother live feeds, the HOH competition lasted 3 ½ hours. I am shocked it lasted that long, but this was an important one that everyone really had to fight for.

As houseguests fell off of the carousel, the first 5 were eligible to pick a "graduation" present. Lydia , who fell off early, won a television.

But Jordan may have won the best prize of all. Jordan won "Have" status. She selected 3 "Have Nots" for the week. Being a "Have Not" stinks on this show. The person has to eat slop all week, take cold showers and sleep in a dismal, all-gray room with a flat bed. Jordan randomly chose Kevin, Natalie and Jessie to be Have-Nots this week. Her picks couldn't have gone better (okay, I feel sorry for Kevin but not the other two).

Finally, the picking order in which people fell off the contraption was: Kevin, Lydia and Ronnie. Next out was Natalie, then Jordan.

Amazingly, Chima hung on for quite a while. She had been saying she was dizzy within a minute of the competition starting. But she was the next person to fall off. Then Michelle joined her.

In the end it was down to Russell and Jeff, two powerhouse athletes. They finally made a deal: Jeff let Russell win the HOH, but Russell had to swear that he would keep Jeff and Jordan safe from nomination this week. Russell agreed.

And even though Russell swore on his father's life, loyal Big Brother followers know how this goes. People break promises every day. I hope Russell doesn't. Jeff is a good guy and seems honest.

Luckily, Russell has bigger fish to fry: his target this week is Ronnie. Let's hope he gets that snake out for good.

    i will never understand why people cheer for the "nice" houseguests, or why houseguests still talk about "honour". sure jeff's a nice guy, but he bores me to tears. i predict that if he can make it a couple more weeks we'll see him make a (by now cliche) "no more mister nice guy" speech, wherein he rationalizes to himself and the world the realization that he's going to have to get his hands dirty to survive. so let me rephrase the question: why do people want to cheer for the DUMB people who want to moralize a game that logically necessitates devious and adaptive strategies?
