Chapter 30- Big Decisions

The HOH competition was still going strongly as Arnold, Dana, Jela, Kimberly, Brady, Ellie, Sayde and Cody were still left. Jose and Derek were taken out since they fell off. Tep joined Conor on the sidelines.

Tep: It really sucks not winning HOH and I'm probably going home next. They thought Kim was the biggest threat that week and got her out, but she has the chance to get back in. I'm hoping Arnold or Brady wins and I can get in talks with them to keep me safe.

Cody, Ellie and Sayde struggled as the wall tilted. They needed to keep control this week.

Sayde: It's crucial me, Cody or Ellie take the power this week so we can keep control. Arnold and Dana would abuse it. Jela, Kimberly or Brady wouldn't follow through with what we want. It's attacks on the Starter Pack from all sides. Not to mention the dissension with Tep.

Cody: I'm hoping Brady or Jela get the return spot. They haven't been in the house so I could strike deals with them. Kim would definitely come after us if she won.

Sayde felt her grip loosen as she jumped down leaving Cody and Ellie up there.

"Looks like it's just us, El." Cody stated.

"I've got this comp down. I'm small enough to keep going." Ellie assured.

"You're gonna have to." Cody stated as he jumped off.

Cody: I couldn't hang on for long. My arms are really built for this.

The other competitors hung on as Kimberly, Jela and Brady struggled. Arnold and Dana held on with all their might.

Jela(Juror #2): I want this so badly, because my eviction was a joke. I can tell Arnold was the one to be going out and I have to get him away from Dana so we can get to the finals together.

Arnold:I need this win so I can keep Dana and, if she returns, Jela safe. This means we have a route to finale night. If Kim won, she keep flirting with me until she could try and manipulate me.

Dana felt her grip loosen as Arnold wanted to catch her. Dana fell off and scowled.

"We have Arnold, Ellie, Brady, Kimberly and Jela left in the competition." Conor announced.

Jela couldn't feel her muscles anymore as she jumped and landed on the bottom.

"No Jela!" Arnold exclaimed.

"Damn it! You better win Brady and you too, Arnold." Jela stated as she was escorted out of the house.

Kimberly was confident she had this competition won. She just needed to outlast Brady and she was back in the house.

Kimberly(Juror #4): I need to win this return spot so I have a better chance of getting the money. I can get revenge on Conor for throwing me out and Cody for orchestrating the plan.

Brady was having trouble hanging on as he jumped. Kimberly cheered as she hung on.

"Congratulations, Kimberly, you have won the return spot into the house!" Conor announced.

Brady was escorted out as he almost got back in the game. Kimberly, Ellie and Arnold remained in the competition.

"Can't...hang….on much….longer." Arnold stated as he jumped off.

"You got this, El." Cody cheered.

Ellie: All up to me? This is scary and very nerve wracking at the same time.

Kimberly kept hold of herself and Ellie used her smallness to her advantage. Kimberly was losing her grip and she tried keeping herself up. She jumped and the air horn sounded. Ellie took a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Ellie, you are the new Head of Household!" Conor yelled.

Ellie cheered as she jumped down with Cody helping her up and then kissing.

"We made it to the Final 7." Cody whispered.

Ellie(Head of Household): I finally won HOH! Ahhhhhhhhhh! This is so exciting! I can't believe it! Me and Cody are going to the Final 7!

Kimberly was frustrated as she won her spot back in the house, but the competition.

Kimberly: I'm glad to be back, but the power would've been a lot better. I'm just glad Cody, Arnold or Dana didn't win, because that would've put a wrench in my plans. Ellie should be easy to work with since she considers me a friend.

Conor passed the key over to Ellie and went inside.

Conor: Ellie is the winner this week and this bodes well for me and Tep. We got a good chance of staying together to the finale.

"Worried about Tep?" Sayde asked as she walked up to Conor.

"I've been worried. Ellie is in power, but Cody will be in her ear a lot." Conor replied.

"The smart thing would be to put Kim up and Arnold. Dana could be the replacement if the Veto is used." Sayde explained.

"Yeah, but what if Cody wants Tep out and decides he's the target?" Conor asked.

"I don't think Cody would want that. He just got mad with Tep, but we agreed that Kim could be dangerous as well." Sayde replied.

Conor: I don't trust Cody as far as I can throw him. He was up in my ear telling me to choose who I want and I almost sent my best friend. This is dangerous having him up there. You might as well say he's the HOH this week.

"I feel Tep is in danger. Cody doesn't like what he is doing." Conor stated.

"I'm sure it will all work out. Just give it some faith." Sayde assured as she patted Conor on the back.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ellie came out of the HOH Room swinging her key.

"Who wants to see my HOH Room?!" Ellie yelled.

Cody was the first up as Conor stated behind. Tep noticed this as he sat down with his best friend.

"I don't really like this." Conor whispered.

"You don't trust, Cody?" Tep asked.

"Dude, think about it. He's going to be in Ellie's ear the whole week." Conor replied.

The other six houseguests headed up the stairs as Ellie unlocked the HOH Room. Ellie immediately ran to the gift basket full of candy, extra cosplay costumes and a few pictures from home.

Ellie(Head of Household): Seeing all the memories from home really made me feel better. I had to admit being homesick even if I wasn't too far away from home.

"Who's this handsome fellow?" Sayde asked as she held up one picture.

"That's my brother, Josh. He's off to college right now." Ellie replied.

Ellie(Head of Household): My brother and I don't get to see each other a lot due to college and except on breaks. However, I know he's probably cheering me on from his dorm every time I'm on.

"You have some extra cosplay costumes here." Kimberly stated as she checked them out.

"Yeah. These are from Highschool DXD, Pokémon and Fairy Tail." Ellie explained.

Kimberly: I used to play dress up a lot, but I never knew it would actually become a thing in the future. Though, it's more cosplay and there are certain conventions for that.

Arnold and Dana took their leave outside which Ellie caught. She stuck to the door and listened in on their conversation.

"This is completely bogus. This little girl who plays dress up is in charge for the week and we have no power." Dana stated.

"It's not all bad. She's completely gullible and she will have Cody in her ear every single time." Arnold assured.

"How can we know that Cody won't try and get rid of us? He's the strongest player in the game at the moment and he's basically in control this week." Dana retorted.

"I used to be in an alliance with him. He's pretty much still got my back if I need him." Arnold stated.

"So who do you expect to go up then?" Dana asked.

"I would say Tep and Kimberly. They are the two threats from last week so it would be wise to repeat the process." Arnold replied.

Tep was shown downstairs and Kimberly was sitting on the couch in the HOH Room.

"I would say that's right, but you have a better chance of going up next." Dana reminded.

"Then we just need the Veto. I'll always be a threat to most people here, but I got this far with smarts." Arnold stated.

"Not very bright if you keep getting into trouble." Dana groaned as she walked off.

Ellie heard the entire conversation and started thinking about what to do.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dana was in the kitchen cooking something to eat as Tep walked in. Dana turned seeing him and groaned.

"Can't you just go away." Dana groaned.

"Well, I'm certainly no magician. That would be totally awesome if I was." Tep stated.

"You should be gone already. I don't see the use of keeping you around." Dana stated.

"Well, I guess people just see me as a faithful ally. Nah, that's totally a lie. Dumb luck? Well, I guess it is seeing if I'm a threat and people didn't want to get rid of me." Tep explained.

"You're gonna end up confusing me even more. I just wish you were gone already." Dana stated.

Tep: Pfft...see why I don't deal with women so much. They give me a headache listening to them. Dana has been a worthy adversary this season. I wonder how she does it.

Dana: *banging head off the wall*

Dana walks off as she shakes her head. Tep just saw the left over food Dana was eating and decided to eat it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Arnold was in the Nature Room just laying down on his bed when Kimberly knocked on the door.

"What do you want?" Arnold asked.

"Is that anyway to treat a girl?" Kimberly countered as she sat down beside him.

"I like Jela. I don't like you." Arnold replied as he stated away.

Kimberly brought his head back over to her sight. She smiled and pecked him on the cheek.

"We all have feelings we wish to deny, but we can't escape them forever." Kimberly stated as she grabbed Arnold's hand.

"I don't-" Arnold tried saying, but Kimberly kissed him on the lips.

Arnold was trying to struggle against it, but gave in to Kimberly's tender lips. Kimberly broke the kiss and giggled.

"Not bad, Ar. I say we have something going." Kimberly stated with a smile.

"I guess we do. It can't be that bad to try to live a little." Arnold figured.

"Hehehehehehe...it isn't. We all have to quit playing it safe at this stage. Don't keep me waiting on a date." Kimberly stated as she walked from the room.

Arnold had a goofy smile on his face as he got together with Kimberly. Someone he didn't even realize he would have feelings for.

"Now, that that's settled. I have someone to leech off of for the rest of the game." Kimberly stated.

Tep just happened to be listening and stared at Kimberly suspiciously.

"Well, I guess she's at it again with manipulating people. That Dottie girl was right not to trust her and go after her. We even got her out not even a day ago." Tep stated.

Tep: Women can be cold-hearted and the two I know of are Kim and Dana. Arnold is being played like a fiddle by those two. Maybe I can get him onboard with the Starter Pack if they'll allow it. No! They'll just try and evict you again. Gotta be smart, but…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tep and Kimberly were in the bathroom with Kim applying lipstick.

"So I heard Arnold was getting with you." Tep stated.

"How did you know that?" Kimberly asked without looking at him.

"He told me. The guy has the hots for you." Tep replied.

"Anybody could've told me that." Kimberly stated.

"He's just shy about it I think. He's not the type to express his feelings too much." Tep stated.

"I hope it's not Brady all over again. The last thing I need is a distraction." Kimberly explained.

"You'll probably just do to him what you did to Brady." Tep figured.

"Strategic planning and moves are made, because we need to get a lot of people out. I can't let him distract me too much. I almost got evicted and lost my chance at the money." Kimberly stated.

"Just make this time count." Tep instructed.

Tep: I'm really nervous going into this nomination ceremony. You don't exactly have to get nominated first to go home. I have to make sure the Veto is on my side this time.

Kimberly: I really hope the talking with Ellie for that short time was worth it. I came to play this game and I'm gonna do what I can to stay.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ellie walked across the living room and by the TV that said 'NOMINATIONS TODAY'. Ellie walked up to the Memory Wall and grabbed the keys. She took them up to the HOH Room as she sat down and thought this over.

Ellie(Head of Household): Everything falls on me to make the right decisions this week and if it goes wrong, I'm most likely gone next week. I hope Cody can continue to guide me well so I don't mess up.

Everyone started to come into the dining room for the nomination ceremony. They reached sat down as Ellie came in with the nomination block. She sat it down and proceeded to her address.

"This is the nomination ceremony. As Head of Household, I must nominate two houseguests for eviction. I will turn both keys to lock in my nominations and their faces will appear on the Memory Wall. The first houseguest I've decided to nominate is…" Ellie began before she turned the first key.

Arnold's face appeared on the Memory Wall as he nodded.

"The second houseguest I've nominated for eviction is…" Ellie continued as she turned the second key.

Dana's face appeared on the Memory Wall as she glared at Ellie.

"I've nominated you, Arnold, and you, Dana, for eviction. Dana, you haven't been up yet and you are very sneaky I feel having a say in Jose's eviction. Arnold, you are a primary threat that I believe should be gone. I'm making my game moves as I see fit. This nomination ceremony is adjourned." Ellie explained.

Everyone started getting up as Tep hugged Arnold.

Tep: Oh yes! I escaped the first stage and I just need to get past stage two. Once that Veto is won, I can save myself for another week.

Arnold hugged his sister and then hugged Kimberly.

Arnold(Nominee): It turns out Ellie wants to be braver than most people and take a shot at actual threats to her game. Well, this ain't my first rodeo here and it won't be my last.

Dana hugged Cody and then hugged Conor.

Dana(Nominee): I'm going to win the Veto and save myself. There's no way I'm letting this little girl ruin my chances at half a million dollars. I bet Cody had something to do with this.

Who will win the Power of Veto and will it be used to save either Arnold or Dana from eviction? Plus, Total Drama contestants Katie and Sadie stop by as the special hosts for the Veto competition. Tune in Wednesday 8/7c on Big Brother!
