Following Chima's backdoor in the Fast Forward, the BB Queens fought for power. Eventually, Laura won her first HOH of the season.
At the HOH Ceremony, Laura explained, "This week for HOH, I decided to let the house choose who the nominees were. So, with that being said - Kathy and Cassi, I have to nominate you two for eviction. Cassi, almost everyone said your name. And, like I said this was a week for the houseguests. Kathy, your name didn't come up as much. But majority wanted you up, and some people even said these exact nominations. There is Veto, so good luck girls. May the best queen win. This nomination ceremony is adjourned."
At POV, Rachel won, and chose to use the POV on Kathy, explaining, "Although Cassi did pick me, she's also made it clear she doesn't give a single shit about this game, but Kathy does. So, I'm sorry Laura, but I have to save Kathy." After deliberating, Laura chose to name Sarah the replacement nominee, explaining, "This hurts me to even renominate any of you, as I have made amazing friendships. But, something happened that makes me break one of those relationships. Someone told me something that changed the way I played the game. I'm sorry that I'm doing something for me. With that being said, I'm sorry Sarah - this hurts me worse then it probably hurts you. And that person is right, this game is about yourself, and I can't play someone else's game - not saying I play your game. So, sorry Sarah, I have to nominate you for eviction. I love you."
