'Big Brother 15' Episode 26 Recap VIDEO: Elissa Wins Head of Household as Judd Re-Enters the House
Big Brother 15 aired its 26th episode Sunday night featuring the Head of Household competition, a jury member returning to the game and the HOH's nominees for eviction.
Houseguests: Aaryn Gries, Amanda Zuckerman, Andy Herren, Elissa Slater, GinaMarie Zimmerman, McCrae Olson and Spencer Clawson.
Jury Members: Candice Stewart, Judd Daugherty, Jessie Kowalski and Helen Kim.
The episode began during the Head of Household competition from Thursday night. Many of the houseguests were worried about some of the jury members having the possibility of coming back into the game. During the competition, which involved all of the houseguests and jury members standing on platforms and trying to catch balls, Elissa and Jessie got off to an early lead.
McCrae and Spencer fell off their platforms first. Andy fell off his platform next, highly frustrating Amanda. Jessie fell off next, eliminating her chances to get back in the house, and decided to curse out Amanda before she left. Helen accidentally fell off, eliminating her chances as well.
Candice fell off soon after, meaning Judd would return to the house. Many houseguests were scared that Judd was coming back in the house, considering they blindsided him a few weeks ago. Judd fell off his platform, meaning that only three competitors were left for HOH: Amanda, Elissa and GinaMarie.
Elissa won the Head of Household competition, which Aaryn and Amanda were very unhappy about. After the competition, Judd told Elissa that he was starting over with a clean slate in this game. Meanwhile, Aaryn started crying, thinking she would definitely be evicted this week.
Amanda tried to figure out who Elissa would nominate, and Elissa told her that Aaryn was the target and that she might nominate her or McCrae alongside Aaryn. Amanda tried to get Elissa to nominate GinaMarie alongside Aaryn, but Elissa would not budge.
Elissa told Judd that Aaryn was her target this week and Amanda would be the ideal target next week. Elissa and Judd made an alliance and agreed to protect each other through the game.
Aaryn tried to campaign for herself to Elissa. She promised Elissa that if she kept her safe this week then Aaryn would keep Elissa safe in return next week. Aaryn's comments did not seem to sway Elissa in the slightest.
At the nomination ceremony, Elissa nominated Aaryn and McCrae for eviction. Elissa explained that she hoped McCrae would win the Veto and told Aaryn that she had made her life miserable in the house.
The next episode of Big Brother 15 will air Wednesday at 8 p.m. on CBS, featuring the highlights of the Power of Veto competition and the Veto ceremony.
