Following Rita's eviction in the Fast Forward, it was time for a new HOH to take over. After an intense HOH competition, it was Jennifer who managed to win it, right after surviving her nomination.
At the HOH Ceremony, Jennifer explained, "It really was stressful staying on the block last week, especially considering the fact that it was the Fast Forward week and my fate was completely in the hands of you, queens. And two people did evict me, expecting me to probably not survive, nor get crowned as the HOH this week. Regardless, it's time to play the game with brains and not let your emotions take over it. Banks and Gwen, I completely understand it was a choice between two people, and if your choice was between, all nine of us and I probably wouldn't be the one you would evict. Well as for Kylie, I kept you safe the week before, when I had a choice of ten people, but you decided to nominate me the week after, when you did have at least seven other people to pick from, So you will be my first nominee! And my second nominee will be, Hilary, I did keep you safe last time I won HOH, and you haven't spoken to me since then even though you promised to work hard! Just take it as, I am actually giving you an opportunity to play the game!"
At POV, Sky won, and decided to remove Kylie from the block, explaining, "OK, well I'm going to be using the POV on Kylie... Sorry to ruin your nominations Jennifer, but I feel like it would be best. Good luck everyone else, and congrats Kylie on safety!" With that, Jennifer named Natalia the replacement nominee, explaining, "OK, in that case, I'll make it short and sweet, as I'm running out of options - Natalia, I'm sorry I have to nominate you."
