After Kathy's eviction, the BB Queens were informed it was time for the second Fast Forward of the season. At the HOH competition, Laura excelled, and claimed the title of HOH.
At the HOH Ceremony, Laura explained, "My nominees are Rachel and Cassi. Rachel, you are an amazing player and I respect you a lot. I don't play this game maliciously, and I seriously love you as a person, outside the game. You are the nicest and cutest thing I have ever seen, and you might think I'm being fake. But in the game, you are a dangerous femme fatale. You might think this is me being fake, but its not. Cassi, you're just good at being you."
At POV, Rachel won, and naturally decided to use the POV to get herself off the block. Being forced to choose between friends, Laura named JoJo the replacement nominee, explaining that she based her decision on the fact that JoJo has yet to win a competition.
