What was instead? Think along the lines of some of the powers handed out! We now know that Dani has the ability to either have herself or another outgoing HoH have the ability to play immediately again for the power — it can be used for the next three weeks. Meanwhile, Christmas has the Blocker ability, which enables her to be able to block a replacement nominee made by an HoH at the Veto Ceremony. Hers is also good for three weeks, though it's kind of useless this time given that she is the person in power. We don't know who the third power-holder is, at least for the time being.

Entering the competition, we knew that Christmas was Head of Household, but there was a chance for this twist to dramatically alter the game in ways that we haven't seen to date.
