After the usual recap covering the second episode, Julie welcomes us to a live eviction episode and sums up the two nominees, Braden and Chima, one of whom will be going home tonight. The HouseGuests react to the veto and Jessie's replacement nominee. Braden is upset, Jordan cries over it and Chima says she feels secure as a pawn and will lay low. Russell says that he needs to rattle Braden's cage and get under his skin in order to get the votes necessary to get him evicted. Braden confronts Lydia about suggesting that he go up as a replacement (Natalie actually suggested it). Braden badmouthes Lydia and Kevin to their face using racial slurs.
Lydia comes in the house and fights with Jordan calling her a fake and says that she is not a good friend. Jordan then erupts on Lydia. Jeff gets pulled into the fight by Lydia who accuses Jeff of not defending her after Braden verbally attacked her.
Laura then thinks she has a plan to get rid of Chima so she and Jordan approach Ronnie. They view Casey as the swing vote. Casey knows this and will do what is best for him.
Julie cuts in and talks to the HouseGuests.
After the break, Julie talks to the Head of Household, Jessie, about who the "brains" of the Athletes/Brains alliance and Jessie says Russell is the main catalyst. The two nominees have one last chance to plead their case.
By a vote of 5-5, the vote went to a tie-breaker. The vote breakdown - Russell, Natalie, Kevin, Lydia and Ronnie all voted against Braden and Jeff, Jordan, Laura, Michele and Casey all voted against Chima. Jessie cast his vote to evict Braden.
Julie interviews the evicted Braden and asks who she thinks betrayed him. He thought it was either Ronnie, Michele or Casey.
In the second Head of Household competition, called "Most Likely To…", the HouseGuests (less Jessie who did not participate as outgoing HoH) must guess how the majority of America answered a question (chosing between the four cliques) based on America's first impressions of the viewers. In the end, Ronnie won the Head of Household competition after facing off against fellow "Brain", Michele.
