A/N: We're moving along! This is super exciting, I am so thankful for each and every one of my supporters and reviewers and readers that words cannot describe. As we move into the fifth eviction tonight, I'll take some time to say thank you to each and every one of the reviewers!
Yoshpa Kong: I know! I'm so sorry, but it was the smartest move for the Wrecking Crew to make at this point.
Moley Koopa: The Wrecking Crew wrecked XD And Jojora did show a pretty brutal side, but she was feeling vindictive over Junior's harsh play style. However, that could potentially bite her next week if a member of the Wrecking Crew wins HOH. We will have to see on that one.
Flashfire912: Koops and Toad are in a very precarious position, you're right. If they play their cards right, they could potentially come out on top. Spike's punishments weren't in vain, because it secured the Wrecking Crew another week of life. We'll see if Di is the one who stays however.
TheJoker21: Did you call it because of the chapter title or did you just guess? The Wrecking Crew is becoming more popular now!
ultimateCCC: Oh that's very good! Thanks for the review!
TimeLordHowl: I know I'm so torn, I don't even know who's going to get evicted as I type this! Thanks for the kind words :D
PuzzlingGamer: Thanks for the Koops love, he appreciates it. And the Wrecking Crew is climbing in popularity, you're right.
Guest: Koops is my favorite for that reason. He's change a lot in his character dynamic.
Yoshette: You're welcome on the speedy update! And I'm glad you liked the result of the previous chapter :D
Krazikoopaz: Why hello there! Thanks for reviewing my story! And a lot of people think Flurrie will go next and Di will stay, but we shall see how that pans out.
Previously on Big Brother: Chai Kingdom!
With the threat of a surprise competition looming, the Wrecking Crew knew they had to kick it into high gear to trump the women this week. As the games began, some realized this game would take more than brains or brawn to win.
Dry Bones:There's all this paint everywhere, and the brush hurts like hell, and you can't see anything, and your arms hurt from gripping onto the bar while your legs are on fire. This was the toughest competition we've had yet.
However, after a grueling competition, Junior pulled out a win for the Wrecking Crew.
Junior: Booyah! That's another challenge under my belt, baby! Look out girls, because whatever this power is, it's going to bite hard!
Junior soon learned of his new power and the ability to topple Jojora's nominations and replace them with his own. Feeling threatened by his current stance on the block, he flipped the script and saved himself and fellow Wrecking Crew member Spike.
"I get to name both replacements. As luck would have it, I am currently on the block, along with my good buddy Spike. So with this," he took the pendant off of his neck, "I would like to save myself and Spike from nomination."
However, this powers didn't stop there, and he utilized the Coup d'état to place Jojora's main allies, Flurrie and Di, on the block.
Jojora: *Crying* I just w-w-wanted to enjoy being HOH…and-and, n-n-now this monster of a brat child goes and just-just r-r-ruins it all!
"Flurrie and Di," Junior waved, "Please, get comfortable on those nomination chairs."
Di's mouth hung open while Flurrie sadly shook her head. The two took their new seats in the rough bamboo chairs while tears started falling down Jojora's face. She was Head of Household, and her two best friends in the game were the nominees.
At the veto competition, Spike took several bullets for the Wrecking Crew. Having to bathe in custard, get his head shaved, and sentenced to a penguin suit, Spike took punishment after punishment to lock in the Wrecking Crew's nominations.
"Spike! Congratulations, you have won the golden power of veto!"
Spike: This feels amazing! Now, not only can we keep ourselves off the block, but we can eliminate Flurrie or Di. With one of them gone, all we have to do is win the next HOH and the women's alliance is toast!
Jojora: This is a disaster! Now Flurrie or Di is going to go home and I can't go on without both of them…I can't even speak right now I'm sick to my stomach!
With the veto in hand, Spike made zero use of it to cement the Wrecking Crew's plans. Flurrie and Di remained on the block, and with the power of numbers, the men controlled the vote.
"After hearing both of your pleas," Spike concluded, "I have decided…,"
"Not to use the power of veto."
Flurrie nodded with acceptance, while a cold flame kindled in Di's eyes.
Tonight, either Di or Flurrie will leave the Big Brother: Chai Kingdom House for good! Who will be evicted, and who will rise to Head of Household when the power goes back up for grabs? Find out all of this and more tonight on Big Brother: Chai Kingdom!

Episode 15: Over the Coals
The veto meeting was finished, and Flurrie and Di both rose from the rickety bamboo chairs with a collective sigh. Jojora had won HOH, and they had believed themselves to be safe for the week. But Big Brother always had an ace up his sleeve, and they were on the wrong end of fate this time around. One of the women would be going home, and Di seriously hoped it wasn't her.
Di: If I have to campaign against Flurrie, so be it. I am not losing this game!
Despite the rough conditions of the game, Flurrie kept her head held high, and she was determined to find a way out of this game without compromising her integrity. However, some other members of the house were not too keen on her staying.
Dry Bones: The only person with a better social game than I is Madame Flurrie. Now is the time to get her out, and with five votes, the Wrecking Crew controls the majority. We get to decide who stays and who goes this week.
Knowing the boys held the power despite her title as HOH, Jojora called Junior into the cabana room after the veto meeting, wanting some information.
Jojora: Dry Bones can talk all he wants but I know Junior holds power over him. If I want to know what this guy's alliance is thinking, I need to talk to Junior. He's much more forthcoming than Dry Bones.
"So," Jojora began, hugging her knees, "What're you thinking?"
"We're thinking about axing Flurrie," Junior smiled wickedly, "She's got a lot of pull in this house."
Jojora: Now I love Flurrie and Di, bless their souls, but only one person can win this game. If I can cut a deal with Junior, it may benefit me in the long run.
"Now see," Jojora said back, exhaling lightly, "I don't think that's the best option. Sure, Flurrie's a threat, but do you see her winning any more HOH's? I think we can chalk that kart race up to dumb luck."
Junior looked a bit stricken.
"If I were to suggest evicting either of the two, it'd be Di. She's much more intelligent and is definitely holding back," Jojora went on.
Junior: Does Jojora have a screw loose or something? Why is she giving me all of this wonderful information?
Jojora: I know Flurrie's too proud to campaign against Di. That's why I have to campaign for her. I don't trust Di, to be honest. She's very smart and sneaky, and that could bite me in the end. I'd rather have Flurrie by my side, because I can trust her more.
"I don't see it, honestly," Junior crossed his arms, "Di's not the brightest."
Jojora sighed, "Well, do what you want Junior. Just know you'll be screwing up someone' game either way, and if you're not careful, it might be yours."
With that, she left the cabana room, letting Junior ponder her ominous words.
In the small room they shared, Toad and Koops jumped up and down, high-fiving one another.
"Finally!" Toad cheered, "Finally neither one of us is on the block!"
Koops: I knew this day would come! For a whole week neither Toad nor myself had to fight to stay here!
Toad happily fed the koi in the pond and then settled down in his bed, placing the fish food back behind the elegant bamboo plant. He sighed with glee, letting out a week's worth of held breath.
"Now, we just need to push out Di," Koops said between clenched teeth, "Flurrie will look out for us more than Di will. We need as many allies as we can get."
Toad: Our task is simple. We simply need to convince one of the other guys that Flurrie deserves to stay over Di, and then we have majority. Flurrie's been a good friend to Koops and I, but Di hasn't done anything for us. We need Flurrie to stay.
In the women's bedroom, Jojora joined Flurrie and Di in talks about the veto meeting.
"I…I'm still stunned," Jojora shook her head, "I'm HOH, and one of you are going home."
"It's Big Brother baby," Flurrie consoled, "It's what you get. Sometimes you can't expect the unexpected."
From the mirror, Di watched Flurrie and Jojora with a careful eye.
Di: It's quite obvious how this is going to go. Flurrie's very well-liked, by nearly everyone. They only people I can appeal to now are the boys, and I don't know if they're going to want to hear what I have to say.
The next day, the sun rose on the Big Brother: Chai Kingdom house, and Dry Bones whipped up a quick breakfast of scrambled eggs with chives and scallions, and a side of maple bacon. Passing out glasses of orange juice, the undead koopa washed his hands and returned to the storage room to put back some of the ingredients he hadn't used.
Koops: Toad and I decided that Dry Bones would be the best candidate to vote out Di. He's the sneakiest player here, and I know he'll make the decision that benefits him in the long run.
Coming into the storage room behind Dry Bones, Koops sparked a conversation.
"So," Koops said a bit awkwardly, "Both of us are voting tomorrow, and I was wondering how we want to do this."
"Do what?" Dry Bones furrowed his hairless brow, a bit puzzled.
"Do we want to make this unanimous, or go 3-2?" Koops folded his arms.
"Oh," Dry Bones laced his skeletal fingers together like intricate cobwebs, "Well. You see, Flurrie is quite the social monster. She'll eat the jury alive."
"True," Koops smiled, "However, what if I told you that Di isn't who she seems."
"What are you talking about?" Dry Bones was lost.
"Di's a mechanical engineer, for crying out loud. Do you think someone that ditzy could be a mechanical engineer? It's a façade, I'm telling you," Koops explained.
Dry Bones looked like he had been stabbed, and he considered the statement for a moment.
Dry Bones: If Koops is telling the truth, which I have no reason to trust him given past circumstances, but if he is telling the truth, Di might be the most dangerous player in this game.
"What makes you think that?" Dry Bones inquired, "The simple fact that she's an engineer?"
"That," Koops nodded, "And the fact that I overheard her talking to Jojora about you."
"About me?" Dry Bones pointed a bony finger at himself, "Why? I've been nothing but nice to her."
"She's worried you're smarter than her," Koops rambled, cooking up lies here and there, "She's afraid with you around, she might not make it to the end."
"Well she's damn right," Dry Bones spoke with enough venom to kill an elephant.
Koops could see the fire blazing in those hollow, yellow eyes, and with a secret smile, the letter sorter chalked his work up as complete.
The morning melted into the beginnings of afternoon, and Di fluttered into the backyard. Enjoying the bubbling waters of the hot tub, Spike sipped on a cool drink and watched as the red fairy came his way.
"Good morning Di," Spike said roughly, "I suppose you've come to state your case?"
Di looked a little stricken.
"Well, you don't make much of an effort to talk to me unless you need something," the construction worked smiled sarcastically, "So, what'll it be?"
Her entire speech having been shattered by the newfound cloud of awkward that hung over her, Di sputtered a bit before starting.
"I…I, well, uhm, I was wondering where you're placing your vote," Di mumbled.
"I'm placing my vote with whomever works better for me," Spike explained, "I'm not too sure who that is quite yet."
"Well you think about it," Di said a bit more confidently, her tiny wings buzzing. She flittered away, leaving Spike to his own solitary devices.
In the living room, Flurrie sat on the couch, chatting with Junior and Toad.
Flurrie: Bless my soul, word on the street is that Di is the target. If this is the case, not only do I get to stay in the game, but I don't have to get blood on my hands campaigning against Di.
"Koops said Dry Bones was willing to vote Di," Toad relayed to Junior, who nodded.
"I think everyone's realized her little charade," Junior replied, scratching his chin, "She can't be that stupid, and to have someone so unpredictable around isn't good for anyone."
Flurrie: If Di goes, then Jojora and I will be down an ally. If we can permanently swing Koops and Toad to our side, we can be four on three against these boys and knock them out one by one. It's a numbers game really.
The rest of the day was spent in talks about votes, particularly revolving around Di. As her clock ticked down, Di made one last plea to the other side of the house, meeting with Dry Bones and Junior in the cabana room.
"So it's me, right?" Di said, getting purposely dramatic.
"Di," Dry Bones soothed, "Someone has to go."
"Well why can't it be Flurrie?" Di snapped, "How am I threat? She's won an HOH and she's the most social player here. She'll destroy the jury! The time to get her out is now."
Junior: Di brings up a good point. Flurrie will wreck the jury, so while we have the chance, shouldn't we be getting her out?
"Plum would vote for her," Dry Bones said, mulling it over, "I'm sure you would too," Dry Bones directed that at Di.
"I swear right now," Di fumed, "If she's in the final two and I'm on the jury, she's got my vote."
Dry Bones: The jury formed last week with the eviction of Plum, and that brings new elements into the game to consider. Plum and Di would both definitely vote for Flurrie. Despite what I heard about Di, getting her out based on emotions might not be a smart move.
"Just think about it," Di implored, "I really need this."
With that last note, she left the cabana room to find solace elsewhere. She had tried making her case to Spike, and certainly done a number on Dry Bones and Junior. The only question left was whether or not her efforts would pay off.
"It's been a topsy-turvy week inside the Big Brother house," Chen T. stated, opening the live show with a brilliant flash of her ivory teeth, "Jojora's in power, but her two closest allies sit on the block. By staging a coup, Junior was able to save himself and the Wrecking Crew. Tonight, either Di or Flurrie will leave the Big Brother: Chai Kingdom house for good. I'm Chen T., and this is Big Brother!"
A smattering of applause rose from the live studio audience, and Chen T. smiled and waved to all of her adoring fans. The room was a roar of lauding, and as the JumboTron next to her lighted up with a live feed on everyone in the living room, Chen T. cued the transmission.
"Good evening, houseguests," Chen T. said to them, and the eight remaining players burst forward with a chorus of helloes.
"Before we get to the live eviction, let's talk a bit about what happened this week," Chen T. smiled, her green cap polished to perfection. She wore an emerald dress to accompany it.
"Jojora, you won HOH this week, but now two of your friends sit before you on the chopping block, how does that feel?"
"It feels awful, Chen T.," Jojora replied, "I was so excited to not have to worry for a week, and now one of my closest girls is going home."
"I'll ask the same question to Junior," Chen T. smiled.
"It feels awesome!" Junior commented, earning death glares and laughs in the same moment, "We were biting our nails after Jojora won, but to escape eviction and see one of her own leave tonight feels like a job well done."
"Flurrie," Chen T. asked the nominee, "Despite the obvious divisions that exist within the house, is there animosity between both sides?"
"Oh no, honey," Flurrie answered, "Every morning Dry Bones makes breakfast for all of us, and we make fun of Spike before he's had his coffee. This is a big family, but it's a game at the same time, so we're mindful of our separate alliances but strive to keep a peaceful home."
"Perfect," Chen T. commented, "Now, before we get to the voting, both nominees have one last chance to prove to the rest of the house as to why they should stay. Di, you're up first."
Di rose from the uncomfortable bamboo chair, facing the rest of the house. She clapped her petite fingers together and started.
"Well, everyone knows I love having fun and making friends! I've had such an awesome time here and I don't want it to end now! I have so much to offer and I have talents I haven't unleashed yet, so if you keep me around, I might be able to help you out," Di explained, sitting back down.
This time, Flurrie rose, and she faced the house with a warm look of motherly affection.
"I've made connections with everyone in this house," Flurrie began to spin a masterful web, "To sever not just one, but all of those connections in one moment would be devastating. I'm here to prove to my grandbabies that anyone can fulfill their dreams despite their age, and to continue along that path to prove it to not just to them, but to myself, would be a dream come true."
She sat back, fingering her large coral necklace.
"Thank you, ladies," Chen T. smiled, "Now before we begin, let me just say that neither of the nominees may vote. Jojora, as HOH, you will not be allowed to vote as well. One by one, the rest of the houseguests will enter the diary room to cast their votes to evict. Spike, you're up first."
Spike rose from his chair, his purple plaid shirt ruffling as he walked. He made it to the hallway and crossed into the diary room while Chen T. commented on his vote.
"Spike's been laying low, despite being a member of the Wrecking Crew. Will he vote with his alliance members, or go rogue once more?"
"Hello Chen T.," Spike waved, sitting down in the diary room.
"Hi Spike, please cast your vote to evict," she instructed.
"I vote to evict Miss Diana," Spike nodded, confirming his vote.
"Thank you, Spike," Chen T. said, and he left the room.
"Dry Bones is another member of the Wrecking Crew, and one of the sneakiest players in the game. Will he vote the same as Spike, or heed Di's warning and gun for Flurrie?"
"Hey Chen T.!" Dry Bones smiled, his yellow eyes glowing with glee.
"Hi Dry Bones, please cast your vote to evict," she explained.
"I vote to evict Di," Dry Bones said, waving goodbye to Chen T. and leaving the diary room.
"That's two votes Di, zero votes Flurrie," Chen T. tallied the votes, "Majority is three."
"Toad is an ally of Flurrie, and has been pulling for her safety. He should be nailing in Di's coffin this evening," Chen T. explained.
"Hello Toad," Chen T. said as the mushroom-capped student greeted her.
"Hiya Chen T.!"
"Please cast your vote to evict," she instructed.
"I sadly vote to evict Di," Toad shook his head, rising and leaving.
"It's official," Chen T. stated, "With three votes to evict Di, Di will be leaving the Big Brother: Chai Kingdom house tonight. Let's see where the rest of the votes fall."
"Koops is an ally of Toad and a friend of Flurrie, he should be voting to evict Di as well," Chen T. predicted.
"Hey Chen T.," Koops smiled.
"Hi Koops, please cast your vote to evict," she stated.
"I vote to evict Di," Koops nodded firmly, leaving the room.
"As a member of the Wrecking Crew, Junior has played rough and smart at the same time. He could be a loose cannon, or shoot straight with the Wrecking Crew this evening," Chen T. analyzed his gameplay.
"Hi Junior," Chen T. smiled.
"Hello Chen T.," Junior waved.
"Please cast your vote to evict."
"I vote to evict Di," Junior stated, rising and leaving the room. The camera followed him as he re-entered the living room and then panned back to Chen T.
"With a unanimous vote, Di will be leaving the Big Brother house tonight," she affirmed, "Let's break the news to the houseguests."
"Houseguests!" Chen. T bellowed, appearing on the television inside of the house.
"The votes are in," she explained, "When I read the name of the evicted houseguest, they will have but a few moments to say their goodbyes, gather their belongings, and leave the Big Brother house for good."
Di and Flurrie nodded. They held hands, their knuckles white. Di's sparkly red dress shimmered in the low light and Flurrie continued to weave her other hand about her coral necklace.
"With a unanimous vote of 5-0," Chen T. explained.
Both women went white in the face. They had not expected a unanimous vote. Jojora closed her eyes, muttering something under her breath. The three women were about to be broken up.
"Flurrie," Chen T. spoke, freezing the actress's heart.
"You are safe."
"It's official Di, you have been evicted from the Big Brother house."
Her words sunk in with their heavy finality, and Chen T. vanished from the screen. The television went black, and Di and Flurrie rose from their seats.
Hot tears streaming down her face, Di hugged Flurrie tightly.
"Go get em' baby," Flurrie said to Di, hugging her tighter.
Jojora immediately rushed up to Di and joined the other two women in a group hug. All three of them were crying.
"One of you win this game," Di swore, "Or I'll hunt you down," she managed a laugh between the tears. Flurrie wiped her tears away and helped Di over to her bag while Di made rounds hugging each houseguest in turn.
"Hold the door open," Koops called.
With one last hug to Flurrie and Jojora, Di looked at both women.
"You two were amazing friends, and I can't wait to see you on the other side," she smiled wearily, opening the door.
"Goodbye! Flurrie waved, "We'll miss you!"
Jojora did the same, choking back tears and watching as Di heaved open the front door and then the studio door, allowing the remaining seven some time to see the outside. As it closed behind her, they shared mixed looks.
Another one gone, and only seven remained.
They rushed over to the memory wall where Di's picture hung in all its red splendor. Her hair and eyes were alive like burning flames, and then were suddenly extinguished in a wave of black and white.
"She's gone," Flurrie spoke sadly, looking down at the floor while Jojora had an arm wrapped around her.
Di entered the studio, earning a chorus of cheers from the audience. She high-fived the extended hands on her way down and then made her way over to Chen T.
"Diana Sprixie," Chen T. smiled, "How are you tonight?"
"I'm bummed," Di sighed, earning laughs from the audience, "I really wanted to win this thing, but someone must've leaked my strategy."
"Let's talk about that strategy of yours," Chen T. smiled, "You came into this game with one of the biggest brains, but decided to mask it. Why?"
"Well I thought people would be intimidated by my smarts and turn on me, so I knew if I embraced my party side, people would just say, 'Oh, she's just a fun girl,' and not target me," Di explained.
"It worked out for a while," Chen T. nodded, "However, do you regret telling Flurrie and Jojora?"
"Yes, and no," Di answered, "I think they needed to know so they didn't undervalue me as a teammate, but then again, I think the reason I'm here right now is because one of them leaked it."
"Well," Chen T. turned to face the JumboTron, "In the event you were evicted tonight, some of the houseguests taped goodbye messages for you. Let's take a look."
"Oh goodie," Di clapped her hands together.
Koops: Di, if you're watching this, I just want to say thank you. It's only because of you and the other women that I still have a shot in this game, and if it was tonight, I'm very sorry.
Jojora: Oh Di! I'm super sad you had to go tonight, and it's even worse that I'm HOH. If it hadn't been for that coup, you'd still be here and we could be together. Don't worry girl, I'll get those boys for you!
Spike: Well Di, if you had been more sociable and nice to people who weren't in your alliance, you might still be here. The Wrecking Crew made a calculative decision to freeze you out because we're unsure of your capabilities. Have fun in the Jury House!
Flurrie: Di honey, I'm so so sorry if you're watching this, even if it means I'm still in the house. I'll be praying for you, and I never thought I could make friends like you and Jojora at this stage in my life. You're an amazing soul, and I'll fight for you!
Di wiped away some tears at the end of Flurrie's goodbye, and Chen T. turned to her.
"Well Di, it's been a pleasure having you, but we must say goodbye now," Chen T. smiled sadly.
"Goodbye!" Di waved, shaking Chen T.'s hand and fluttering off the stage, blowing the crowd a kiss and stealing one last look at the Big Brother: Chai Kingdom house before exiting the game for good.
"When we come back," Chen T. prefaced the future, "The power is back up for grabs! Who will the newest HOH competition? Stay with us."
The cameras panned back in, and Chen T. dazzled the screen with a gorgeous smile and a beautiful shimmer of her jet black hair.
"Di has been evicted from the house," Chen T. recapped the night's events, "But now the power is back up for grabs. Let's join the houseguests in the backyard for the next HOH competition!"
The cameras zoomed in on the backyard, where a luau was taking place. There was a mini-bar with colorful arrays of fruit and drink. There were many bamboo stools around it. Palm trees and tikis decorated the backyard, giving it a tropical ambience. However, the main attraction was the foam spit in the middle of the yard. It was a long spit with many footholds on it, and underneath it was a shimmering screen of three-dimensional lava that had been used in the Chain Chomp competition.
"Houseguests!" Chen T. cried, "The power is back up for grabs! Jojora, as outgoing HOH, you will not compete in this competition!"
Jojora sat on one of the stools and nodded in understanding from her seat.
The remaining six houseguests were laying belly-down on the spit, holding onto the footholds and hand-rests for dear life.
"For the rest of you, this game is called 'Over the Coals', and here's how it works. When the timer begins, the foam spit you are on will begin to rotate. It may change direction, it may speed up or slow down, and sometimes, other events might occur. If you fall off the spit and hit the lava beneath you, you're out of the game. The last houseguest to remain on the spit and last the longest out of everyone else will be crowned the new Head of Household! Does everyone understand?"
Everyone did understand.
"Then it's time to play, 'Over the Coals,'!"
She cued the game and her voice floated away, leaving the six houseguests to the competition. From her seat, Jojora watched in keen earnest.
The spit began to rotate slowly, and on its first go-around, everyone shouted in surprise as they felt themselves go upside-down. However, they all held onto the holds and managed to make it around another time.
From the get go, Flurrie was struggling. She was older and had a bit more mass than the others, especially in her chest. She struggled to hold on, and after just mere minutes, she fell off.
"Sorry Flurrie," Chen T. cried, "But you're out!"
Flurrie floated over to the bar and grabbed a drink, clinking it with Jojora's glass as they watched the rest of the game unfold.
The two remaining women sat at the bar, and on the spit sat five guys. Spike, Junior, Dry Bones, Koops, and Toad. Looking at the spit, Flurrie and Jojora shared a concerned look as they realized how many men there were to the number of women.
The spit rotated around and round, but the men were all strong, and they stayed on for a good amount of time. Then, without warning, the spit changed direction.
The sudden whip of the spit threw Toad for a loop, and the student crashed down onto the undulating screen below. He cried out in anger, but then rose and joined the two women at the bar.
"Sorry Toad, but you've been eliminated," Chen T. called out over the loudspeaker.
Four remained, and three of them were part of the Wrecking Crew. Only Koops had the power to face them.
Then, Dry Bones called out.
"I've got no muscle!" Dry Bones shouted, "I'm just bones, literally! I can't hang on for much longer!"
"Just drop!" Spike shouted, and Dry Bones nodded in concern. He let himself hang, and then he gently dropped down.
"You're out Dry Bones!" Chen T. boomed.
Dry Bones crossed over to the bar, leaving three on the spit.
Then, from the sprinklers in the ceiling, out shot a rain of barbecue sauce. It coated the remaining three on the spit, and they all shouted in alarm. The surface became and slick and disgusting.
"Ah!" Koops cried, slipping and hitting the screen. He jumped up and swore, realizing his folly.
"You're eliminated from the game, Koops!" Chen T. cried.
From the bar, Dry Bones smiled. Power was theirs.
"How bad do you want it?" Spike asked.
"I want it bad," Junior smiled.
"You owe me one, if we find ourselves in this position again," Spike cut a deal, "Even the final HOH. And I swear to Grambi, Junior, if you don't, you'll lose my vote."
"Deal," Junior agreed hurriedly, and Spike let go.
"Congratulations Junior!" Chen T. cried out, "You are the new HOH!"
Junior then let go as well, hitting the mat and rising with Spike by his side. The construction worker clapped his shoulder and marched him over to Jojora who reluctantly looped the golden key around Junior's neck. He whooped and hollered with victory while Dry Bones raised him up.
The cameras returned to the studio and Chen T., where she summarized some things and laid out next week's schedule.
"Junior has been crowned as the new HOH," Chen T. smiled, "And what will he do with that power? Find out next time, when he casts his nominations. Then, join us the episode after that to see who will win the Power of Veto! And you don't want to miss next week's eviction, because we're bringing you a week's worth of Big Brother in one night! It's a double eviction! Find out who will make the final five then!"
"I'm Chen T.," she smiled, "And I'm coming to you live from the Big Brother: Chai Kingdom house. Until next time!"
So that was a bit late, but I went on a cruise and more life stuff happened so don't blame me!
I know a lot of you were Di fans, a lot of you. But, I had to pick Flurrie over her in the end. Don't shoot! Now that Junior is HOH, power has shifted into the hands of the Wrecking Crew! Who will Junior nominate? Who will win the golden Power of Veto?
And not just one, but two houseguests will be walking out the door on eviction night! Find out who that'll be in a few episodes! Stay with us!
Also, don't forget to drop a review. Thanks to all my readers and supporters!
