Chris and Kyle create a plan to nominate Brooke and Hira to backdoor Micheal.

On Day 14, Sheldon nominated Madeline and Rianne for eviction, with John Luke and Minh-Ly also on the shortlist.

On Day 17, Carol made a joke about how the police would come after Jamar in Prince Edward Island, presumably because of his ethnicity.

Later that day, Minh-Ly held a house meeting to expose Vanessa's lie about throwing the competition.

On Day 22, Chris, Hira, and Vanessa were chosen to compete in the Power of Veto competition along with the nominees.

On Day 24, John Luke won the Skip the Slop vote, cancelling his Have-Not stay short.
