After Kylie's eviction, the remaining artists competed in a rather difficult HOH competition, and it was Kesha who came out on top, winning her first HOH of the season.
At the HOH Ceremony, Kesha explained, "OK well, I know that there are a lot of possibilities this week, but I gotta do what's best for me, so I'm sorry - but Banks and Gwen, I'm nominating you."
At POV, it was Gwen who won, and with that she officially tied the record for most competition wins in a season with S4's Danielle DiLorenzo, S6's Rachel Plencner and S8's Morgan McLeod and Natalie Bolton. Since she was up on the block, Gwen chose to use the POV to remove herself from it. With that, Kesha named Shakira the replacement nominee, explaining, "I don't like doing this, and I'm sorry, but Shakira, I have to nominate you."
