A/N: I'm back! Please, please do not give up on this story! I know was gone for a month and a half, but that's because life got busy, so please continue to help me reach my goal of 200 reviews! I know we can do it. Speaking of reviews, it's time to thank you all for yours!
TheJoker21: Ha. You said I was more consistent with my updates. Ha. Anyway, either Plum or Toad shall go home this chapter, so maybe the Toad Hate Club will finally get its wish? Thanks for the review!
Matt1251: Why hello there! Thanks for the review! And I think you may be one of the few people who actually likes Toad, yes. And you're right when you say anything can happen ;D
Moley Koopa: Unfortunately, your Toad and Plum remained on the chopping block. However, will Junior exact his revenge on Toad by campaigning to evict him? You're right that Plum could be a vote for either side, but maybe that makes her dangerous as well? After this vote, there will be eight people, so the house could split right down the middle. And I'm still mourning Shokora, so I see where you're coming from with the accusations against Plum for blindsiding her. And it always does seem that the one in peril gets HOH, but will that happen this time?
Soliddude1175: Do you think Bowser would've wanted Junior to play dirty? I think Bowser would play a very calculative game if he were in the Big Brother house. And you're right, once again, Koops holds the power. Koops' character has developed greatly in my mind, so thanks for pointing that out.
Flashfire912: Well, if Toad evades eviction and wins HOH, Junior may be one of his targets, true. Well, since the jury begins with this vote (I think) then Junior might want to mend things with Toad. And I'm so glad you appreciate the humor I try to put into this otherwise dramatic fic!
ultimateCCC: One game changer coming right up ;D
Shokora Kong: Thanks! Switching are we? Toad has played a weird game, and Plum is more favorable to stay in my mind. I'm so glad everyone's opinion of Koops has changed! And that may be the first negative comment about Dry Bones we've received thus far…
PuzzlingGamer: *Toasts with you* Thanks! We're getting closer and closer! And the whole altercation between Junior and Toad is probably what contributed to him keeping the nominations the same.
Sepron: Thanks for picking up on that, Plum does have a few reasons as to why she should leave. Spike is definitely the scariest player in the game. He's like a mafia boss, working in the shadows. The women's alliance must win the next HOH to keep the power, I agree. Flurrie has been picked up by Spike as a threat, and her game could be ruined by it. And thanks for the positive words about Koops!
CielFury: We all loved Shokora XD. YAY for Chain Chomp Fever, one of my favorites too! And you're right about Plum. She knows a lot, almost too much.
Yoshette: Thanks! And Junior did play dirty in the veto, which might shed some bad light on him, but who knows? And Spike relies a lot on intimidation, that's why he was so nervous about Shokora. She sort of made him look less intimidating, but now that she's gone, we'll see more into Spike's personal strategy. And so so sorry about the massive delay, life happened.
Rockin Bros: Hello there! Oh, and I don't think anyone has Di slated as their favorite. Spike is going to pick up more, trust me. And Bowser Junior may or may not receive penalty by the others for his tactics?
Guest: As much as I want these 200 reviews, I would like to earn them. Your eleven reviews to my story would've been nice if they were actually about my story. No, the SYOT is never getting updated, it died a long time ago. Now please, if you're going to review my story, actually talk about my story.
Previously on Big Brother: Chai Kingdom!
Fearing that his alliance was getting too large to control, Junior switched up his tactics and played more by the book for a little while.
Junior:I want to keep Toad in this game, but I can't make him the same deal we made Koops. Five is too large to control, because then it makes everything obvious. Plum and Flurrie are already on to us, and we don't need the fine details of the alliance going public.
"Well," Toad swallowed hard, "Let's hope she screws up big."
"I don't think we'll need a hymn and a prayer," Junior muttered, "If we play our cards right this week, Plum is as good as gone."
But when Junior played dirty at the veto, his hopes of aligning with Toad went down the drain.
Junior shoved Toad into the flames, but the Toadstool grabbed on tight, wrapping his arm around Junior's. Together, they toppled into the lava, Toad slamming into the simulation and Junior rolling on top of him, hitting the lava moments later.
Toad:That was total crap, and Junior knows it. Even though tackling was never stated in the rules, he should have played with more dignity. Shokora was evicted for that very reason!
Junior:I'm aware it was dirty, but I needed to clutch this veto! The Wrecking Crew needs some power this week, so now that we have the veto, we can try and strike some deals with Flurrie.
And back inside the house, Toad lost control.
"What the hell, man?" Toad asked with rage in his eyes, "That wasn't even fair!"
"All is fair in war my friend," Junior replied softly, holding up his arms.
"That's not even the saying you idiot," Toad shot back, venom in his gaze.
"Hey, why don't we all calm down," Dry Bones came onto the scene, pleading with both parties to remain civil.
"I mean I don't care you won the veto, but you should at least use it on me, I mean you cheated me of it!" Toad cried.
"No one cheated anybody of anything. If anyone cheated anybody," Junior chose his words carefully, "It was you cheating Shokora out of another week in this house."
"Junior…," Dry Bones trailed off, knowing his ally was going down the wrong path.
"How dare you!" Toad shrieked, fed up with the Son of Bowser, "I swear to God, man, I'm going to get myself off the block, and I'm coming for you next week!"
"I'm sure you are," Junior laughed, not buying Toad's intimidation tactics, impervious to his every word.
"You're such a jerk, Junior," Toad sighed, walking out of the room.
And for the first time in the whole game, Dry Bones got a little nervous.
Dry Bones:I'm on pins and needles right now. Toad is going to bring down the Wrecking Crew, and now Spike is going to beat Toad up or something? I don't know what's going on, and I don't like it.
But sensing a possible future alliance with Toad, Spike made sure the college student would earn another week in the house.
"So if I just shut up for a few days, Plum goes home," Toad narrowed his eyes.
"That's the deal," Spike offered, reclining.
"Fine," Toad said at last, "Just…I have to be sure you've got my back."
And at the veto ceremony, Junior continued his vendetta against Toad by keeping the nominations the same and leaving him and Plum on the block.
"Well," Junior stepped forward, "I have made my decision, which is to not use the power of veto today."
Junior stepped forward, keeping the veto around his neck. He closed the wooden box, with nothing inside of it.
"This veto meeting is adjourned," Junior said with finality, and it was over.
Junior:I know I made the right decision. Either Plum or Toad goes, and that benefits everyone games. Making Flurrie nominate a new person could cause some unnecessary friction.
Toad:I did exactly what Spike said, and I hope it pays off. If his little intimidation technique was to simply scare me and I end up going home, I'm going to be furious.
Plum:I tried to make a deal with Junior but it didn't work. I thought he'd go for it, but it looks like a no from him. Oh well, I just have to do my best and make sure I'm still here on eviction night!

Episode 12: The Big Brother Open
As Junior closed the wooden box, signaling the effective end of this week's veto, Toad got up and meandered over to the kitchen, not really leaving, but not really participating in the social interaction.
On the other hand, Plum, who knew she could use Toad's recent spiral in likability to her advantage, even if he was a bona fide ally, decided to stay and act as cheery as possible with everyone.
"I'm sorry honey," Flurrie patted Plum's back, whispering in her ear, "We'll think of something."
"It's alright," Plum smiled back, nodding her head to Toad, "Shouldn't be too hard."
Flurrie knit her eyebrows, understanding what Plum was talking about, but not enjoying the way she reveled in Toad's despair.
Flurrie: This is going to be one of the most important votes of the season. It could potentially split the house into two strong alliances. I need to be sure I'm picking the right people to aid me, and I have to think of whether Toad or Plum is the right person to take.
Jojora approached Flurrie in the washroom, where a raised platform with cushions on it stood behind the mirror. Flurrie was removing all of her make-up while Jojora talked in a low voice.
"Plum or Toad?" Jojora mouthed, Flurrie picking up the speech in the mirror's reflection.
"I don't know right now," Flurrie sighed, removing the last smears of foundation and turning her gaze to Jojora. "It's such a delicate situation. I'd like to trust Plum, but she could do what she did to Shokora to any of us."
"That's true," Jojora crossed her arms in thought, "And potentially, we could use Toad's spite for Junior to our advantage."
Flurrie nodded, "By picking him up as an ally, we add some physicality to our alliance, and in turn put Junior on the hot seat."
"I like the way you think," Jojora winked.
"And I like the way you dance!" Di burst in, floating about the air and twirling in massive circles, showing Jojora with Sprixie dust.
"Ugh, Di, what the hell?" Jojora complained.
"Teeheehee," Di giggled, "Lighten up, Jojora. Your last name is Teeheena after all."
"I'm from Joke's End, Di," Jojora pointed out, "Where all jokes go to die. Not much is funny to me."
"Well," Di pouted, "You're no fun. Flurrie will dance with me, won't you Flurrie?"
"I think I will," Flurrie smiled, grabbing Di's hands and performing a spectral waltz as they floated through the air together.
"I'm aligned with fools, complete fools," Jojora laughed.
"See?" Di winked, "It's good to laugh."
"Maybe it is…," Jojora thought aloud, smiling back at her tiny fairy friend.
In the boy's room, Spike, Junior, and Dry Bones were back at it, concocting more plans of success in this game.
"So," Dry Bones sighed, "You kept the nominations the same, which was alright. But in doing so, we have to make sure Toad goes home no matter what."
"We have the votes," Junior pointed out, "Us three plus Koops makes four, that's majority."
"But," Spike added, "Koops is in there right now with Plum and Toad, and who knows what kind of deals those snakes could be proposing to him."
"But Plum and Toad won't campaign in front of one another," Dry Bones pointed out.
"You never know what people will do when they're desperate," Spike shrugged.
In the tiny yet elegant room, the three koi fish swam amongst the placid waters, greedily floating to the top as Plum tossed some fish food into their exhibit. Placing the food back behind the lush bamboo plant, Plum sat down on her bed and ran her fingers through her almond hair.
"Well," Toad sounded defeated, "Another one of us is going home."
"I'm sorry guys," Plum choked out, a few tears falling down her face, "I should've never gotten rid of Shokora. I was so upset with her, and then I did the one thing I was about with her for."
"It's alright," Koops smiled weakly, "We can't go back in time, so now we just have to play the best game possible."
"But that doesn't change the fact that you have to vote for one of us," Toad said to Koops.
"I know," Koops sighed, "And I wish I didn't have to. Now please, don't make me think about this anymore. Let's just all get some sleep."
Plum and Toad nodded, turning off their lamps and nestling in bed. But all the while, Koops couldn't get Toad's phrase out of his head. In just a few days, he would indeed have to vote one of his friends out of this game.
The next morning, not much occurred. Breakfast was made, served, and eaten. People hung out inside, by the pool, in the cabana room. It was a very quiet day that passed without any conflict and put most people in a good mood. Night fell, game talk was low, and everyone passed out as the night seeped over the sun.
The day after, however, the clock began to tick, and deals were quickly spun.
Peering into Flurrie's HOH room, Plum crept in, trying not to disturb Flurrie.
"Oh hi dear," Flurrie smiled, "Something you need?"
"We need to talk," Plum smiled, "I don't want to go home."
"Well who does?" Flurrie laughed.
"Yeah, but I mean, I know I did some bad things, but I think I deserve to stay here over Toad," Plum spoke.
"Bad things?" Flurrie raised an eyebrow, "Elaborate."
Cursing her choice of words, Plum knew she was dealing with a very intelligent women. This time, she was more careful with what she said, being honest but being precocious.
"I turned on Shokora. But she scared me, she was talking about turning on our own allies. I had to root out the problem before she destroyed multiple people's games," Plum admitted.
"Well," Flurrie narrowed her eyes, "Although your intentions were noble, how am I supposed to trust you? What if in two weeks, I talk about getting rid of Koops. Would you turn on me then?"
Plum could see where this was going.
"If you offer me safety now," Plum spoke with fealty, "I will be indebted to you for the rest of the game."
"Now that is something I can work with my dear," Flurrie popped a cherry into her mouth, smiling wide.
Plum: I have to trust Flurrie, she's the only way I'll be able to take out that massive guys alliance. And since Junior already hates Toad, all I need to do is pay him a quick visit to make sure everything is going to go as planned.
Junior and Dry Bones were in the kitchen whipping up lunch, the son of Bowser becoming quite the cook under Dry Bones' lead.
"Now," Dry Bones instructed, "In order to properly baste a shroom steak, we're going to use koopa leaves crushed to a pulp and mango extract. This combination will bring out the intense yet exotic…, oh, hello Plum."
"Hi Dry Bones," Plum waved, "If I could just have a word for a moment?"
"I don't see why not?" Dry Bones smiled, exchanging a look with Junior.
"What's up?" Junior asked.
"I don't want to do a ton of campaigning, so I'll make this quick," Plum said sweetly, "Toad's going home, right?"
"Definitely," Junior laughed, and Dry Bones nodded.
"You have our word," Dry Bones supported Junior's remark.
"Alright, thanks so much you two," Plum smiled, scampering off outside to enjoy the afternoon sunshine.
Once she was gone, Dry Bones returned to teaching Junior, but he made a quick comment first.
"See? Toad will be gone in no time."
"Good," Junior replied, "With him out of the house, Plum will be indebted to use and Koops will be in our pocket."
"We'll be in total control," Dry Bones smiled, his skeletal grin lighting his beady yellow eyes into a fire.
Outside, Jojora and Flurrie were sunbathing while Toad and Koops sat in the hot tub. Plum made her way over to the benches to sunbathe with the women, while Toad signaled Spike with a raise of his eyebrows.
"Yes?" Spike asked.
"Plum," Toad said, "She's out right?"
"You upheld your part of our deal," Spike smiled, "Now I'll uphold mine."
"Thanks," Toad breathed, watching Spike lumber back to the weight sets.
Spike: I thought I needed Toad, but the more I watch his paranoid behind run up and down the house, the more I want to be rid of him. If we make Plum feel indebted to use, then we have five people and we can knock out the women. After that, we cut Plum and Koops. This game is just too easy!
Only one more important conversation occurred, which was between Toad and an unlikely other party.
It was evening, and while the cruise line chef and his apprentice whipped up dinner, Toad visited someone.
"Jojora," Toad smiled, "Can we talk?"
"Oh, um, I guess?" Jojora was a little confused. This whole time, she and Toad hadn't had a private conversation.
"Where do the girls stand," Toad asked, "I just want to know if it's me or not."
"Honestly Toad," Jojora lied, "It's going to be Plum. We can't trust her after what she did to Shokora, so we'd be honored to have you come to our side and get away from the other side of the house."
"Now," Toad nodded, "We just need to talk to Koops."
"Who needs to talk to Koops?" Koops asked, having entered the supply room for a banana.
"Oh hey," Jojora smiled.
"We just want to know where your head is at, man," Toad said, "We're looking to get rid of Plum."
"Honestly," Koops shrugged, "After the whole Shokora incident, I'm totally game."
"Alright," Jojora nodded, "Flurrie and Di are down as well, so it looks the boys are going to get quite the shock on eviction night."
"It's been over a month inside the Big Brother house," Chen T. smiled, "And things are spicing up! The battle between the men and the women escalates, and tonight, a clear line will finally be drawn!"
"I'm Chen T., and this is Big Brother: Chai Kingdom!" She boomed, spreading her arms wide, showing off her sparkling golden dress. Her black hair was done in a curly up-do, with ringlets of jet black sheen spiraling downwards on the left side of her face. She was, as always, truly ravishing.
"Now," Chen T. smiled for the cameras, "We've seen deals been made and broken over the course of this week, but it's time for tonight's eviction to begin. Let's check in with our houseguests."
The JumboTron turned on, showing the nine remaining houseguests in the living room.
"Hello houseguests," Chen T. smiled, appearing before them on their tiny television.
"Hi Chen T.! Hello!" A chorus of voices sang.
"Now, before we get on with tonight's eviction, let's talk for a little bit," Chen T. smiled, "Perhaps the most controversial competition ever, between both seasons, occurred just a few days ago. Junior, would you care to elaborate?"
"I would," Junior smiled, "I saw a window and I took it. It wasn't against the rules, so I don't know why some people are acting like I cheated or something."
"Toad?" Chen T. prompted the other side.
"All I have to say to Junior is that he'll get what's coming to him," Toad spoke bluntly and with little emotion.
"Alright," Chen T. soaked up the drama, "Flurrie? Although you cannot vote tonight, do you think the veto competition is going to determine a few votes?"
"Oh yes," Flurrie brightened, "It's been quite the scandal!"
"Always a pleasure talking to you, Flurrie," Chen T. laughed.
"You as well, dearie," Flurrie winked.
"Now, Koops, you've really turned your act around. During the first few weeks of this game, the house was completely against you. Now, you've seemed to take the target off of you," Chen T. spoke.
"Well, don't say it too loud," Koops joked, "But honestly, it's all about perspective in this game. What the viewers see and what we see and what you see, all of it is different. And I just had the wrong perspective about this game, so I had to change it."
"Well said," Chen T. smiled, "Now, before we vote, both houseguests up for eviction will have one last chance to state their case as to why they should stay in the game. Plum, you're up first."
"Well, hello guys, this has been an amazing experience and I hope it continues! I love each and every one of you, and for this dream to end so soon would be so hard for me. Vote with your heart!" Plum smiled, sitting back down.
"Toad," Chen T. directed.
Toad clapped his hands, rubbing them together nervously, "Well guys," he began, laughing a little nervously, "This has been one hell of a ride. But, I've enjoyed it, and I hope I get to ride a little longer. I've gotten to know a lot of you very well, and I hope I can soon say that for everyone. This is such a dream of mine, so please, don't end it for me."
"Thank you Toad," Chen T. nodded as he sat back down, "Just a reminder. Neither of the nominees may vote. Flurrie, as HOH, you will only vote in the event of a tie."
Flurrie nodded, her wispy purple hair bouncing as she did so.
"Junior, you're up," Chen T. said.
Junior rose, making his way to the diary room.
"Now, Junior has been an advocate for eliminating Toad ever since the controversial veto competition, he should be following through with that promise," Chen T. analyzed his motives.
"Hello Junior," Chen T. smiled as he sat down on the couch in the diary room.
"Hi Chen T.," Junior waved.
"Please cast your vote to evict," she ordered.
"I vote to evict Toad," Junior said with finality, getting up and exiting the room.
"Jojora has been on Toad's side, it seems. She wants to get rid of Plum because she cannot trust her. Let's see what she does," said Chen T.
"Hello Jojora," Chen T. waved.
"Hey Chen T.!" Jojora smiled brightly.
"Who do you vote to evict?" Chen T. questioned.
"I vote to evict Plum," Jojora said a bit sadly, rising from her seat and leaving the room.
"That's one vote for Plum, one vote for Toad, let's see how Spike votes tonight," Chen T. continued.
"Hi Spike," Chen T. acknowledged the burly man.
"Good to see you Chen T.," Spike smiled behind his thick facial hair.
"Please cast your vote to evict," Chen T. smiled.
"I vote to evict Toad," Spike said, "Sorry kid."
"Thank you Spike," Chen T. sent him on his way.
"Di has been playing a low flying game, but she might rise to power shortly. Will she follow Jojora's lead in voting for Plum?" Chen T. asked rhetorically.
"Hey Di," Chen T. greeted.
"Oh hi there Chen T.!" Di smiled, "I bet you want my vote."
"I do indeed," Chen T. laughed.
"Then I vote for Plum, sorry girl," Di swished her bright red ponytail, rising and flying out of the room.
"That's two votes for Toad, and two votes for Plum, this could go anyway," Chen T. sounded nervous.
"Hello Dry Bones," Chen T. smiled, "Please cast your vote to evict."
"I vote to evict Toad," Dry Bones spoke surely, his skeletal frame rattling as he rose.
"Thank you," Chen T. nodded as he departed the room.
"Koops is the last vote tonight. He was in talks with Toad and Jojora to vote for Plum, but he's aligned himself with the Wrecking Crew. This vote is a toss-up, let's see what happens," Chen T. spoke with every word sounding dramatic and defined.
"Hello Koops," Chen T. nodded in greeting.
"Hi Chen T.," Koops smiled nervously.
"I need your vote," Chen T. let the words dramatically fall off her tongue.
"I vote….," Koops thought hard, "For Plum. I vote to evict Plum."
"Thank you Koops," Chen T. said, her breath a bit short, "Thank you."
Koops left the room, and Chen T. wildly spun around to face the camera.
"We have a tie!"
The crowd gasped in shock.
"Let's tell the houseguests," Chen T. turned to the JumboTron, which flickered on inside the house on their much smaller television.
"Houseguests," Chen T. raised her attenuated face, "We have a tie."
"Oh," Flurrie spoke below her breath, no one heard her.
"As a result, Flurrie, you must now cast the deciding vote to evict," Chen T. explained.
Flurrie nodded, rising from her seat and floating over to face all of the houseguests and most importantly, the two nominees. Each looked at her with the saddest expressions on their faces, positively pulling at her heart strings.
"I've been thinking about this for days," Flurrie said, "In the event of a tie. I must cast this vote for not just my own game, but for the best future game of my allies as well. I'm so sorry my dears, but I must place my trust in the person I trust more."
Toad and Plum both had white hot knuckles, gripping their chairs and hanging on to every word she spoke.
"With that being said," Flurrie sighed, straightening herself, "I must evict…,"
"Plum."
Toad fell back into his chair, pleased he had survived again. More importantly however, the Wrecking Crew exchanged glances of worry and fear, their plan had failed.
"It's official Plum," Chen T. spoke from outside, "You have been evicted from the Big Brother house."
The television shut off with finality, and Plum rose from her seat, hugging Toad first. She made her rounds, hugging each houseguest, and telling them goodbye.
"I'm so sorry baby," Flurrie said, tears stinging her face.
"I understand," Plum sighed, "I knew no one would trust me after I took out Shokora. I'm sorry too."
With that, she shouldered her black duffel bag and walked to the two huge doors, turning around to see everyone one last time.
"Bye guys," Plum waved, stepping into the foyer and then out onto the stage.
The crowd cheered for her, and she high-fived several fans as she made her way down the stairs and right up to Chen T.
Back inside the house, Jojora and Flurrie shared a hug, while Toad and Koops stood side by side, staring at the memory wall.
"We have a choice to make," Koops hissed, and Toad nodded in understanding.
"It's so fast," Di commented, watching Plum's bright picture drain to a memory of black and white.
"Dang," Junior whistled, watching it fade.
Outside, Plum and Chen T. shook hands, actually meeting.
"So, how do you feel?" Chen T. asked her.
"I feel like I got what I deserved, honestly," Plum responded, "Flurrie's speech before she cast her vote really showed me that what I did to Shokora changed people's perception of me. I was just so afraid of what Shokora might do, and now I'm out of the house because I acted on impulse."
"Do you think you lacked courage in this game?" Chen T. asked.
"Yes," Plum swallowed the truth, "I think I could've talked to Shokora and worked it out instead of conspiring to her oust her. Now, I'm out of the house as well."
"Well," Chen T. smiled, "In the event you were evicted tonight, the houseguests taped some goodbye messages for me, shall we take a look?"
"Let's do it," Plum nodded.
Koops: Plum, I'm voting to evict you tonight, and I'm so sorry. I've found that I've just grown closer to Toad in this game, and after what happened with Shokora, well, I went with my best option. No offense to you, though. I hope you have an awesome life Plum, I know you'll do well!
Toad: Oh Plum, if it's you tonight, that means it's not me. And I'm sorry about that, because as much as I want to stay in this game, I don't want to at the expense of losing you. You've been a really good friend to me, and I'm going to miss you.
Jojora: Plum, I'm voting for you tonight for reasons you probably understand. Shokora was a vicious player yes, but you turned on her. I just don't feel comfortable aligning with you.
Dry Bones: Plum, you're a very smart girl, and if you go tonight, then I've lost a potential ally. I'm sorry if it's you, but I'm voting for Toad, know that. If it's not Toad, then I might be joining you pretty soon.
Flurrie: Baby, I'll only be voting if it comes to a tie tonight, and I have a feeling it will. I'm so sorry that you're sitting outside of this house, but I had to make the best possible move for me. Chin up, dear.
"Well Plum, it certainly was an adventure, wasn't it?" Chen T. raised her brows.
"It was indeed," Plum shook Chen T.'s hand one last time, exiting the stage and exiting the game as well.
"When we return," Chen T. smiled straight into the camera, "The power is back up for grabs! Who will the next HOH competition? Find out next on Big Brother: Chai Kingdom! Stay with us."
"Welcome back," Chen T. smiled, "Before we left, Plum was evicted from the Big Brother house in a tiebreaker vote. Now, we head to the backyard for the next HOH competition. Who will fall from power, and who will rise?"
"Houseguests!" Chen T. boomed over the loudspeaker in the backyard, "The power is back up for grabs!"
The backyard was designed like a golf course. There were benches for everyone to sit on while they waited their turn. A putting station was set up on a hill, where a cage of golf balls and a club rested. Down the fairway, a bunch of tiny slots with various numbers in front of them existed.
"Welcome to the Big Brother Open!" Chen T. bellowed, "In this game, you will one by one putt the golf ball down the fairway in hopes of landing it in one of the numbered slots. The person with the highest score will advance to the winner's circle. However, if the next person scores higher, the leader must leave the winner's circle, step down, and give their place to the new winner. Once everyone has putted once, the houseguest with the highest score will be crowned as the new Head of Household! Does everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"Flurrie, as outgoing HOH, you will not be competing," Chen T. explained, and Flurrie nodded from her seat on the bench.
"Alright, Jojora, you're up first."
Jojora, in her cyan dress, rose to the hill. She grabbed the putter, placed a ball on the ground, and took her shot. The white ball careened down the fairway, landing in a numbered slot near the end.
"Jojora, you have scored a twelve! Excellent shot!" Chen T. commented, noting Jojora's very nice putt. Jojora moved to the winner's circle, hoping she could stay there the entire time.
"Di, you're up next," Chen T. proceeded.
Di stepped up and grabbed a golf club and a ball. She spent a little while lining up her ball with its slot, but her putt was very weak. It rolled down the hill at a slow speed, and then rolled right. It landed in a slot however.
"Di, you scored a six, but that is not good enough to beat Jojora's score, please step down," Chen T. evaluated her performance.
"Junior, please take your shot," Chen T. directed.
Stepping up, Junior flashed a toothy grin at Jojora, who blew a raspberry in his direction. Junior putted the ball, shooting it in a very nice slot.
"Junior, you scored a ten, which is a good shot, but not good enough to beat Jojora. Please step down," Chen T. analyzed. Jojora laughed as Junior returned, his cockiness deflated.
"Dry Bones," Chen T. said, "Please take your shot."
Dry Bones spent longer than Di lining up his shot, and he gave it a whirl. The golf ball rolled into a numbered slot.
"Dry Bones, you have tied with Jojora for first by scoring a twelve! You two must share the winner's circle for now," Chen T. explained. Jojora smiled at Dry Bones as he walked in, and the two shared the winner's circle for the time being.
"Koops, you're up next," Chen T. continued along.
Koops took his shot, but it wasn't anywhere near good enough.
"Koops, you have scored a four, which is not higher than Jojora and Dry Bones' twelve, please step down," Chen T. instructed.
Koops hung his head, sulking back to his seat. Spike was up next.
The burly man believed he would do well. Picking a club and then sizing up the slots down the fairway, he made his shot.
"Oh, very close Spike. You scored an eleven, which cannot trump Jojora and Dry Bones' twelve. Please, take seat," Chen T. sounded sad for him.
"Toad, you're up next," Chen T. explained, "If you cannot beat Jojora and Dry Bones' score of twelve, you will be out of the competition and they must putt again to break the tie."
Toad narrowed his eyes, he wasn't going to let that duel occur. Lining up the golf ball the prime target down the fairway, he swung the club.
It was a solid shot, heading straight for the end of the fairway. However, it hit the wall of the slot head on, bouncing backwards and arcing out in a curve. It rolled for some time, then landed far from his marked goal.
"Toad, you scored a two," Chen T. said, "Which is not higher than Jojora and Dry Bones' twelve, so please take a seat."
"Dry Bones and Jojora must now compete for the title of Head of Household. One after the other they will put again. Ladies first, Jojora," Chen T. directed.
Jojora picked up the club again and tried to repeat the same shot as last time. She putted the ball, and although she didn't perform as well again, the shot was still decent.
"Jojora, you scored a nine."
Dry Bones was up next, and he chattered his bony teeth together. Raising his club, he took the shot, hoping he would be able to slide into power again.
The golf ball rolled nicely into a slot, signaling a nice putt.
"Dry Bones," Chen T. commented, "You scored an eight, which is not higher than nine."
Jojora's eyes lit up and she shrieked in happiness.
"Congratulations Jojora!" Chen T. cried, "You are the new Head of Household!"
"Ah! Jojora screamed as Flurrie and Di ran over, hugging their friend, "Ah! I did it! I didn't think I would ever win!"
"Congratulations Jojora," Flurrie winked, taking the key to the HOH room off of her own neck and looping it around Jojora's.
"Dang," Dry Bones hung his head, "I was so close!"
"It's alright," Junior commented, "We'll bounce back."
However, with the elimination of Plum, the survival of his archenemy Toad, and Jojora's newfound power, Junior wasn't too sure of that statement as he followed the rest of the houseguests inside as they celebrated the blue fairy's success.
Yay! I wrote a chapter XD
So Jojora won HOH, I bet none of you thought that would happen, huh? Plum was evicted, which I believe is justified by her betrayal of Shokora and no one wanted to place their trust in her. We had two ties in this episode as well, that being the votes and the golf match. Well, what did you think? Leave a review, a favorite, and follow! Just keeping reading! Thanks so much everyone!
