Chapter 2: HOH Competition

The contestants get their swimsuits on and head out to the back yard as instructed. Once they stepped outside, Julie got their attention.

"Hello again everyone.", Julie said.

"Hello Julie.", the contestants said in unison.

"Tonight you will battle to become the first HOH and become the most powerful person in the Big Brother house. If you win HOH you will not be going home this week but you will have to nominate two of your fellow housemates for eviction plus you will move into the Head of Household room, its a room definitely worth fighting for. The first order of business that the HOH will need to do is nominate 5 housemates to be 'have-nots'. Have-nots are only allowed to eat 'Big Brother Slop', take cold showers and sleep in the most uncomfortable room in the house. Since we have 21 housemates, I need one of you to withdraw from the competition... but don't worry the housemate that withdraws is automatically safe from eviction this week and can't be nominated as a 'have-not'. Do I have a volunteer?", Julie asked.

"I will withdraw, Julie.", Becky said.

"Ok. Thank you Becky. Go ahead and have a seat on he bench. Remember you are safe from eviction this week and can't be nominated as a 'have-not'. Now for the rest of you... I need you to divide into two groups of ten. Red on the right side of the pool and Blue on the left.", Julie continues.

The housemates divide into two groups as instructed. The Red team consists of Rachel, Finn, Sam, Puck, Brittany, Artie, Mike, Jesse, David and Santana. The Blue team consists of Kurt, Wes, Mercedes, Hunter, Sebastian, Tina, Blaine, Nick, Jeff and Quinn.

"All right houseguests, listen up: Here is how it works. Both teams will get into the pool and climb up on their Big Brother surfboard. You must work together to balance on the board while grabbing coconuts off the tree and tossing them into the mouth of the Big Kahuna but you can only pick, pass or shoot coconuts when all ten teammates are on the surfboard. When ten minutes is up the team with the most coconuts will win. The winning team will battle one another for Head of Household. Everybody ready?", Julie asks.

"Yes!", everyone responds.

"Ok then. Everyone get in the pool and stand by your surfboards. Ok houseguests... Surfs Up!", Julie says.

The houseguests jump on their surfboards while the clock starts counting down. The Blue team gets on their surfboard quicker and start tossing coconuts into the mouth of the Big Kahuna. They have six baskets made before the Red team gets situated on their board. The Red team starts shooting coconuts into the Big Kahunas mouth and ties the Blue team with twenty-two points each. There is two minutes left on the clock and it is a fight to be the winning team.

"Congratulations Blue team you win the chance to be HOH with a score of 42-35. Red team you may exit the pool... the house is open so you can dry off and change clothes, if needed. Blue team congratulations but the competition is only half over for you because now its time for you to face off against each other. One of you is about to become the first HOH. All ten of you will stand on the Blue surfboard and the last one standing will be the new HOH. Ok everyone get back on your surfboard and hang on. The game will begin when I say 'Surfs Up'. Are you ready houseguests?", Julie asked.

"Ready.", the Blue team says in unison.

"Surf's Up.", Julie says.

Once they were alone at the pool, the Blue team made an agreement that the whole team would not be a 'have-not' and would also be safe from eviction for the week. Those who didn't want to be HOH gradually jumped off the surfboard, but didn't make it obvious that they gave up. The first five to jump off were Mercedes, Kurt, Tina, Nick and Quinn. The five remaining men were fighting to be in power. The jets in the pool started at full speed making the surfboard ride waves like a hurricane was coming. Sebastian fell off when he lost his balance, he grabbed Hunter's arm to stay on but that caused Hunter to fall off immediately after. Blaine kept control of his footing and stepped back. As he did so, he accidentally knocked Wes off the surfboard. Wes was pissed that Blaine knocked him off and started to grab his feet to make him lose but grabbed Jeff's foot instead. Jeff fell off the board leaving Blaine the first HOH for the season.

"Yes! I am the HOH.", Blaine yelled as he walked into the house.

"Can I get everyone to come into the living room please.", Julie yelled on the television via satellite.

Everyone comes into the living room and sits down on the couches. Blaine stood behind the couch because he was still wet from the pool.

"Congratulations on winning HOH, Blaine. Now you need to name five houseguests that will be 'have-nots' for the week.", Julie said.

"I hate to do this but the five I am naming as a 'have-not' are David, Jesse, Finn, Puck and Mike. It's nothing personal it's just strategic.", Blaine said.

Two hours later, Blaine received the keys to his HOH room. "Does anyone want to see my HOH room?", Blaine yelled through the house.

The houseguests followed him up the stairs to see his room and when he opened the door, they groaned in awe. There were pictures of him and his family, a care basket of his favorite snacks, a refrigerator full of his favorite drinks, a CD Player with Katy Perry's recent CD and a letter from his brother, that read:

Hey Squirt;

I am glad you are experiencing life in the Big Brother house. I would love to see you in a showmance with the man of your dreams. Mom and Dad said they are proud of you and they will continue to watch you on TV because they miss you so much. I had a call back for NCIS and I am waiting for them to hire me. I auditioned for a main characters part and I hope I get it. Then we will both be on TV. Good luck with the game and keep your head clear, I want you to win the money and find love. I love you Squirt.

Love,

Cooper Anderson

Blaine blushed when he read the letter out loud to the houseguests. The houseguests gradually left the HOH room, except for a couple of people that wanted to get to know Blaine better. The houseguests that stayed in the HOH room are Rachel, Jeff, Nick and Kurt.

"Oh My Gaga! Your brother is The Cooper Anderson? From the 'Free Credit Rating Today' commercial?I love those commercials the jingle's my ringtone.", Kurt said.

"Yeah. That's why I don't talk about him much. I don't want people to evict me because of my brother.", Blaine said with a sigh.

"Blaine, your brother is the best looking man in North America.", Kurt said.

Nick and Jeff nodded to that statement while smiling.

"Sorry guys but you have no chance with Coop. He is a ladies man and I hope that is the only thing he and I don't have in common.", Blaine said with hopeful eyes.

"Blaine, can I talk to you in private?", Rachel asked.

"Sure. Guys can you give us a few minutes please?", Blaine asked.

"Yeah sure. We will be in the kitchen getting something to eat.", Jeff said as the other two nodded.

"Ok. When Rachel and I are done you guys can come back up.", Blaine said.

Kurt smiled at Blaine as he left the HOH room.

"What's up?", Blaine asked.

"I just wanted to get to know you and see who you are planning on nominating for eviction. I hope I am not one of them.", Rachel said.

"I don't know who to consider, yet. But Rachel you are not one of them, ok.", Blaine said.

"That's great. Thank you!", Rachel said with a smile.

"Do you have any suggestions of who I should nominate? Has there been any drama?", Blaine asked.

"Well Santana has been going through everyone's stuff and everyone is upset with her. Her and David have been fighting constantly because she went through his stuff, found something very private and she showed it to a couple of houseguests. When he grabbed it from her, she slapped him. I think those two should be nominated because of drama but I am not going to tell you what to do. You are HOH this week and it is your decision but just consider them, ok?", Rachel said.

"Thank you Rachel. I will consider them.", Blaine said with a smile.

"Ok, thank you for not considering me.", Rachel said as she left the HOH room.

The guys saw Rachel leaving so they brought their sandwiches up to the HOH room so they could talk to Blaine.

"What was that all about, dude?", Nick asked.

"Nothing. She just wanted to see where my head was for the eviction nominations. Do you guys have any suggestions who I should nominate? I don't know anyone that well and they are not coming up here to talk to me.", Blaine said with a huff.

"I don't like Santana. She is disrespecting everyone's privacy. She has fought with almost everyone because they don't like her going through their stuff. But she fought more with Rachel and David.", Jeff said.

"Rachel pulled Santana's hair when she caught her going through her stuff. Then Santana started calling Rachel names and threw some slop into her face.", Nick said.

"But when Santana showed everyone a vibrator that belonged to David, she went too far. When David grabbed it from her and she slapped him. I honestly think Santana should go.", Kurt said.

"Rachel told me the same information except for what she was involved in. With the confirmation of the drama, I believe I will nominate Santana for elimination. I just don't know who the other person should be. Any ideas?", Blaine asked.

"How about Jesse. I am having trouble reading him. I don't know what it is but something just isn't right. I don't know if I can trust him. He has been laughing with Santana a lot so I think they are close.", Jeff said.

"Rachel said I should consider David as well. What do you think?", Blaine asked.

"Blaine, I wouldn't consider David. He was pissed because Santana outed him on live TV. All he did was take back his own property. Santana was the one who slapped him and disrespected his privacy.", Kurt said. "I know what he is going through. I got outed when I was in high school and it caused my father to have a heart attack. What Santana did is unforgivable."

"Thank you for letting me know, Kurt. I won't put David up because I know how it feels too. Thank you guys for being honest with me. Would you all consider being in an alliance with me?", Blaine asked.

"Yes.", they said in unison.

"Great. We need a name. Any suggestions?", Blaine asked.

"How about 'The Gunslingers'?", Nick asked.

"I like 'Vendetta 4 Victory'.", Jeff said.

"Well since we are all gay, why not 'P.R.I.D.E.' (Pursue Rights In Domestic Excellence).", Kurt said.

"Wow those are all awesome names but I honestly think we should go with Kurt's idea. We need to be proud of being gay men and show our support on our rights. What do you guys think?", Blaine said as he looked into Kurt's eyes.

"Yeah, I agree! Let's go with Kurt!", Jeff said.

"Sounds great.", Nick said.

"Ok. We are Team P.R.I.D.E!", Blaine said with a smile. "Thanks guys. I need to do my nominations now so could you please get everyone outside and stay out there until I let you know that it is time for the nomination ceremony?"

"Will do.", Kurt said with a smile and a wink.

Blaine removed the two keys of the houseguests he was nominating for eviction and put them into the nomination box. Then he headed to the back yard, opened the door and said, "It's time for the nomination ceremony, please come in and sit around the dining room table."

The houseguests walked into the house and sat at the dining room table as instructed by Blaine. Blaine came up to the dining room table with the nomination box and said, "It is my responsibility as Head of Household to nominate two houseguests for eviction. The first one I nominate is Santana and the second one I nominate is Jesse. My nominations are not personal, I don't know either of you. I wish you both luck to win the veto competition to save yourselves from eviction and with that being said, this nomination ceremony is adjourned.
