During the Nomination Ceremony, Christmas chose to put Da'Vonne and Bayleigh on the chopping block together heading into the fifth live eviction of Big Brother: All-Stars.

The Big Brother: All-Stars broadcast began on Day 30 after Christmas won the HoH competition.
Christmas bragged she was "just getting warmed up" and wanted to play.

Meanwhile, Cody Calafiore was upset Kaysar Ridha had blown up his game in his pre-eviction speech and revealed some of his closest allies, and so he felt the need to do some major damage control in the house.
Enzo Palumbo hoped Christmas would have his back this week, but he admitted he wouldn't offer to be a pawn on the chopping block like Christmas had done for him last week.
Nicole Franzel told Christmas that she was really happy for her, but she was stressed out because Kaysar had thrown her under the bus. Nicole figured Kaysar's speech would leave some of the houseguests paranoid about her.
Dani Briones said she was "extremely offended" by Kaysar's "love triangle comment" and didn't like being roped in with the Cody and Nicole drama.
Da'Vonne, Bayleigh and Tyler Crispen then discussed how they were supposed to be in The Slick Six alliance with Cody, Dani and Enzo yet the group seemed to be shooting at each other.

Da'Vonne and Tyler discussed how members of the group had pitted two allies against each other in several rounds of the previous HoH competition, which resulted in one player getting eliminated in each faceoff.
"Ain't nobody slick or six -- not no more," Da'Vonne vented in a confessional.
Cody admitted Da'Vonne was on his radar but this wasn't the time to take a shot at her. Cody wished he had made different decisions during the HoH competition to keep himself in better standing with The Slick Six as well as The Committee alliance.

Cody tried to make peace with Da'Vonne by saying his behavior in the HoH comp didn't mean anything, but she didn't believe a word he was saying and told the cameras, "This is war! Now I'm playing the game!"

Dani and Christmas then celebrated Christmas' victory alone in a room. While Christmas said she was loyal to The Committee, whom she's been working with since Day 1, she also had Ian Terry and Enzo as allies.
Christmas said she had been hearing a lot about Bayleigh and Da'Vonne working together and coming after her alliance, so the power pair was a threat in Christmas' eyes.
"I know that Bayleigh and Da'Vonne would have each other's back before they have mine because Bayleigh told me that Da'Vonne is her untouchable," Christmas said in the Diary Room.
Dani asked Christmas if she planned to nominate the two girls together or go about it in a different way, like nominating one of the girls plus a pawn, and Christmas said she'd like to switch things up a bit.
Christmas intended to draw blood at the Nomination Ceremony, and Dani was glad to hear that.

Da'Vonne told Christmas afterward that she wanted to see her succeed given they are both mothers, and so Da'Vonne asked, "Is there something you need from me?"
Da'Vonne insisted she had Christmas' back and would do work on her behalf, but Christmas admitted it was a little too late given Da'Vonne waited to talk to her until Christmas was in power.
Christmas set out to support the All-Stars who had her back prior to the HoH competition.

Enzo called Christmas "a very important ally" to his game because he essentially hoped Christmas would take shots at the people in his alliance whom he didn't want to directly target. Enzo suggested Christmas was going to do his dirty work for him.
Enzo advised Christmas to target "the emotional players" in the game -- Da'Vonne, Bayleigh and Nicole -- and Christmas admitted it pissed her off that Da'Vonne chose to talk strategy with her so late into the game.
Christmas thought she had "an amazing working relationship" with Enzo, and she was so glad they were on the same page.
Suddenly, Christmas asked all the houseguests to gather in the living room, and she explained the new "BB Basement" twist.
Christmas explained three brand new powers awaited the players in the basement but they've never been discovered because the basement is "the most frightening place in the house."
The three powers would be awarded to the three winners of one competition and the winners would be anonymous since the basement is "pitch black" and the All-Stars would be competing in total darkness.
Christmas worried about the powers given she's HoH this week. She feared her plans would backfire, and Dani acknowledged things in the house were about to get crazy.

For the "BB Basement" competition, the players were required to find one of three BB power icons in the basement and place it in the matching podium to claim the power. But the basement was also filled with random shapes that didn't fit into any of the three podiums.
David Alexander wanted to win a power so he could stop watching Big Brother "from the sidelines." He desperately wanted to have some influence in the game and be respected by his peers.

David, did in fact, claim one of the powers, and he was then followed by Dani and Christmas.
The winners had no idea what their powers would be.
After the competition, Christmas shared with Tyler how she had won a power, and the pair -- who have a Final 2 alliance with each other -- celebrated.
Christmas then learned her "The Blocker" power can be used to prevent herself or another houseguest from becoming a Replacement Nominee at the Veto Meeting.
The power could be used at one of the next three Veto Meetings after a veto is played or not played, but the announcement would have to be made before a Head of Household names the replacement nominee.
Christmas was so happy this power would basically be insurance to keep her safe for the next two weeks since she's "out for blood" this week.
Dani received "The Replay" power, which allows a Head of Household to play in back-to-back Head of Household competitions. She could use it for herself or give it to someone else for three weeks.
And finally, David's "The Disruptor" power enables him to disrupt a Head of Household's reign by secretly saving one of the nominations and forcing the HoH to name a new one.
The person declared safe would be safe for the entire week, and the power could be used at one of the next three Nomination Ceremonies. David could also use the power on himself.

Dani was then shown trying to do some damage control with Bayleigh. Dani said she could tell Bayleigh and Da'Vonne hadn't even glanced her way, and Bayleigh explained she had heard Dani was gunning for both women.

Bayleigh said she had heard Dani wanted Da'Vonne and herself gone without being the one to take the shot, but Dani denied that completely. Dani insisted, "That was not my plan... I'm telling you my truth."
Enzo walked into the room and Bayleigh asked him to confirm whether there was talk of Dani going after Da'Vonne and herself, and Enzo admitted there were some "talk" and "rumblings" in the house because he didn't want to get involved.
Bayleigh said she was going to confront the informants, and Dani subsequently told Christmas that she was really frustrated because she didn't want to fight with anybody.
Dani vented that she was "over everybody," and Christmas was afraid to make it look like she was protecting Dani by putting Bayleigh on the block, which wasn't Christmas' goal.

Bayleigh said she didn't want to screw anybody over, especially Tyler, who had told her and Da'Vonne that Dani was coming after them. Tyler worried about risking his own game to protect the two girls and having it blow up in his face.
Bayleigh broke down into tears after Tyler and Enzo suggested she was making a big deal out of things. Bayleigh felt she was being very calm to begin with, and she said she didn't appreciate the feeling of being manipulated.
Tyler promised Bayleigh and Da'Vonne that he was on their side and loyal to them and had been telling the truth about Dani's motive in the game. Tyler told Bayleigh and Da'Vonne, however, to "stop sketching" Dani out.

Tyler apparently regretted extending Bayleigh an olive branch, saying this could result in his eviction.
It then became time for the Nomination Ceremony, and Christmas announced she had decided to nominate Bayleigh and Da'Vonne for eviction.

Christmas cried and said she had nominated Bayleigh because Bayleigh had confessed Da'Vonne is her untouchable, "which is a pretty significant thing to say in this game."
"I really pray that you guys see this is not personal. I wanted to respect you both by giving you both an opportunity to play in the veto," Christmas announced.
Da'Vonne then asked, "You nominated me because I'm [Bayleigh's] untouchable?"
"Yes, ma'am," Christmas replied.
"Okay," Da'Vonne said with attitude.
Bayleigh said being next to her best friend on the chopping block really sucked and she never thought someone would be so bold to make this move so early on.

David noted he was tempted to use his "Disruptor" power on one of the girls, but Da'Vonne focused her attention on winning the upcoming Power of Veto competition.
