Big Brother: Flashback - Season Seven June 27, 2007
Week 5
Minutes after Diane's eviction, the Head of Household competition "Caught in a Web" saw the housemates hanging in a rope web above the backyard, with the houseguest who hung on the longest winning. In order to spice up the precedings, Big Brother gave the first five housemates eliminated from the competition a chance to open one of five eggs, three of which had prizes inside, while the other two were "rotten". Within 15 minutes, Will, employing the "Will Strategy," "fell" off the web to claim an egg – however, he was disappointed to choose a rotten egg. Kaysar "won" the other rotten egg, while James won the right to nullify someone's eviction vote, Marcellas won a pass exempting him from eating slop for one week (which he later gave to George), and Mike won $10,000. After two hours on the web, Danielle convinced Howie and Erika to both drop out by promising not to nominate them.
On Day 33, Danielle put up James as a pawn alongside Janelle. She believed James to be the only houseguest who could take the veto away from Janelle and also wanted to continue hiding from the rest of the house that they were in a secret alliance together.
On Day 34, Janelle won the Power of Veto in the "Grave Mistakes" competition, but gave up her right to compete in the veto competition the following week. Danielle had tried everything in her power to beat Janelle, even accepting a 24-hour solitary confinement to gain points. When Danielle came out of solitary, Chill Town strategically decided to go after Marcellas as Janelle's replacement, believing that putting Kaysar "on the block" would cause S6 to go after them. Will sold James on the idea put up Marcellas then James took the idea to Danielle. Janelle used the Power of Veto to remove herself from nomination. Danielle chose Kaysar anyway and ruined Chill Town's plans as she decided to continue with the removal of S6. Kaysar was evicted by a vote of 5 to 1, excluding Janelle's vote against James, which he nullified.
Week 6
On Day 39, after Kaysar's eviction, the sixth Head of Household competition took place. The houseguests were given true/false questions about a mock séance which took place on Day 38. The houseguests who either answered the question incorrectly (or were slowest when everyone answered correctly) were eliminated from the competition. Erika was the quickest to answer the final question correctly and beat out James to win Head of Household for Week 6. Immediately after her win, however, the houseguests were informed that there would be a "new power" for which they were competing. They were not told that it was the "Coup d'Etat" and that the winner would overthrow the Head of Household and change the nominations to his or her liking, after the veto. During the week, the houseguests will be presented various clues describing a common Big Brother phrase. When a houseguest thinks they have discovered the phrase, they must say what they think it is in the diary room, however they only have one chance and they will not know whether or not they were correct until the eviction ceremony, when they will also be told what the power is. The first clue was a sheep with a pink bow, which was roaming the house when they reentered it after learning of the new competition.
Technical difficulties in the original Head of Household competition (buttons not working correctly) required it to be repeated. The second Head of Household competition took place at approximately 10:50 p.m. PDT – five hours after the original competition – using mechanical wheels, answering A or B for questions, similarly to the original competition. Like all HoH competitions, it was hosted by Julie Chen. The final two Houseguests remaining were Mike and Janelle, and this time, Janelle was crowned the new Head of Household, for the third time this season. After winning, she celebrated profusely with Howie, repeatedly invoking the name of the just evicted Kaysar. CBS sanctioned the re-do HoH competition to avoid any questions about the validity of the BB game.
On Day 40, Janelle nominated Danielle and Erika for eviction. She explained to Danielle that, because Danielle nominated her and her allies in the previous week, Janelle had no choice but to retaliate. She told Erika that she very much liked her, but despised her gameplay. Erika has since revealed that she is in the alliance of Chill Town, as she is involved in a "show-mance" relationship with Mike.
On Day 41, Danielle won the Power of Veto named "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Veto", and Janelle complained that the other participants in the veto competition had handed it to her because neither Janelle nor Howie were competing. (Howie was not chosen to compete in this veto, and Janelle had given up rights to compete the week before in the veto competition). Will went to Janelle to convince her to put up Marcellas in place of Danielle. Janelle refused saying that it would make Marcellas cry. Will said that her refusal would make him cry and asked if he cried, would she put Marcellas up in place of Danielle. She said yes. Will cried producing real tears.
On Day 43, Danielle used the Power of Veto to take herself off of the nomination block. Janelle replaced her with Marcellas, although she stated that her intention was for Erika to be evicted.
Discussions between houseguests seen on the live feeds indicated that Will and Mike believed Mike won the Coup d'Etat guessing "You reap what you sow."
