La Trice "Lala" Verrett felt totally betrayed since she was the only person who had voted for Kamu to stay, but Haley Thogmartin said she felt totally relieved.
Rick Devens and Dee, meanwhile, were "basking in the glow" of Kamu's ouster and everything going according to plan.
Devens and Dee were in the Mosh Pit alliance with Barrett Pfeiffer, Mallory Aurichio, Angela Murray, Drew Campbell and Melody Morris.
Mallory said she felt guilty for lying to Yash Patel and Taylor Brown, especially since she didn't even trust the "Icons" in the house. Melody had also said she didn't trust Devens prior to Kamu's eviction.
Yash complained to the Big Brother cameras how Drew had "no spine" and did whatever Devens asked him to do. And Taylor vented about how the only people she could trust were Lala and Yash.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and two-time Big Brother runner-up from Seasons 18 and 19, Paul Abrahamian, entered the house.
The houseguests then transported to 1851, which Paul dubbed "the Viking era."
Devens said he needed to win this Head of Household competition because he was a bigger threat than ever after using his Diamond Power of Veto power.
As outgoing HoH, Yash, was not eligible to compete.
For the competition, the players were required to race around the training course, attempting to hit six buttons. After returning to the start, they'd have to lock in their time.

The player to finish the course in the fastest time would become the new Head of Household.
Dee ended up winning HoH with a time of 50 seconds and change.
"I bet they didn't see this coming, huh?! They should be shaking in their boots! I'm going to come for anybody that said my name, and I'm going to do it with a big ass smile on my face! I am so happy!" Dee shouted in the Big Brother Diary Room.

Taylor said this was the worst possible outcome of the competition for her and her allies, but Melody was hoping she'd be safe and could build some trust with the Survivor alum.
"Yash is my main target. He is a great competitor. He put me up last week, so why not put him up this week?" Dee explained to the Big Brother cameras.
Dee then let Lala know that she was considering her as a nomination, which prompted Lala to let the HoH know that Drew, Mallory, Melody and Barrett were the ones who had conspired against her.

While it was Drew's job to give Dee information from the other side of the house, Dee admitted she couldn't fully trust him.
Dee proceeded to ask Yash which players had been gunning for her and Angela. Yash quickly replied, "It was Drew and Barrett," which was a lie.
Yash told the Big Brother cameras he had lied because he wanted those two guys out of the game.
Dee then presented Yash with another $5,000 bribe. She asked Yash to keep Angela, Devens and herself safe the next time he won HoH -- and if he accepted, the deal would be binding.
Dee explained to Yash that if he didn't accept the bribe and she nominated him for eviction and he didn't win the Veto or the Blockbuster, he'd be going home.
Yash was not eager to take the bribe -- but he took it.
"But I know if I don't take that deal, Dee puts me up. And so now, it's self-preservation; I've got to do what's best for me," Yash explained to the Big Brother cameras.
Dee said she didn't want to nominate Yash because they had just made this deal, nor did she want to target Melody, who could be a potential ally for her down the road.
Since she had limited options, Dee acknowledged that she'd have to nominate someone from the Mosh Pit.
Dee then called a Mosh Pit meeting, and she asked Drew a few confrontational questions. Drew realized that he looked suspicious, even though he had been loyal to Dee and their alliance.

Drew may have thought his luck was down, but America invited him into the "BB Time Capsule," where screens around him represented four remaining powers and three remaining punishments. Drew's goal was to hit a button, landing on one of the powers.

Drew told Dee about his power first, and he explained how he felt like "a little kid" around her and Angela. Drew said he didn't appreciate how Dee had put him on the spot in front of Yash, and he insisted that Yash was the one who couldn't be trusted.
Drew promised Dee that he wanted The Crossovers alliance to be the Final 5, and this declaration stressed the HoH out because she didn't know whom to believe.
When Barrett learned of Dee's plans, he was disappointed and didn't want to see Drew on the chopping block.
"He is loyal until his own ass is on the line," Dee told Barrett.
Dee admitted to the cameras that she was "torn" and really hoped to make the right decision.
At the Nomination Ceremony, Dee announced she had decided to nominate Lala, Drew and Taylor for eviction.
"I was really trying to figure out what happened this past week when I was a nom, and it was either because you were conspiring against me right before or after, when I was a nom," Dee explained.
"You guys want to talk about it one-on-one? I'm down for that, too, or if you want to talk about it here as a group, I'm also down for that."
Both Taylor and Lala announced that neither of them had pitched Dee's name.
"Was it you, Drew?" Taylor asked him.
"No, it was not," Drew replied.

Taylor called Drew out for lying, insisting that she was not the one who had thrown Dee's name out there.
Taylor started screaming, and the situation ended on a cliffhanger.
