Christine was very aggravated to be on the chopping block because she felt she had stuck her neck out for the "Bomb Squad" and eventually the "Detonators" alliances.
Caleb told his alliance of Derrick, Frankie Grande, Cody Calafiore, and Christine that if Nicole won the PoV competition, he'd nominate Victoria Rafaeli and send her packing instead. However, in the back of his mind, Caleb worried Christine would come after him next if she were to stick around and then win the next Head of Household competition.
Derrick planted seeds in Caleb's mind to convince him they needed to get rid of Christine while the opportunity presented itself. Derrick insisted she was both physically and mentally capable. Cody agreed although he was good friends with Christine. The guys realized Christine was tight with Frankie and might be able to rally Victoria's vote.
Caleb was also very close with Frankie, which Derrick wanted to put an end to. Derrick established a strategy to steal Caleb. He built up Caleb's ego by saying he could win the whole season and then knocked his own game.
Derrick insisted he'd lose Big Brother for sure if he made it to the end because he had played horribly in competitions. Derrick also said Caleb would have a tough time winning against either Frankie or Cody in the end.
In light of what he was hearing, Caleb told Derrick he'd definitely take him to the end if he won the final HoH challenge. Derrick believed his scheme had just won him $500,000.
Christine ended up winning the PoV competition much to everyone's dismay. Frankie whispered something in Christine's ear following her victory, and such a gesture rubbed Caleb the wrong way. Caleb and Cody were both suspicious of Frankie as to whether he was playing for his alliance or just selfishly trying to get himself to the end. Cody told Caleb that Frankie didn't have his back.
With paranoia seemingly setting in, Caleb feared Frankie would win the next HoH competition and put himself and Cody on the block. Caleb tried to get Derrick and Christine onboard, and Christine didn't trust Frankie at all so she liked the plan. Derrick thought Frankie was his biggest competition in the house despite the fact he was part of his "Team America" alliance.
Nicole then pointed out that there can only be one real winner and a runner-up of Big Brother. She thought it was weird everyone was so unified because people needed to start making big moves. However, she acknowledged to Derrick that she really respected his game and knew he was playing a fantastic one.
Nicole compared Derrick to Dan Gheesling, who won Big Brother's tenth season and finished as Season 14's runner-up. Derrick found that to be a huge compliment -- and a red flag. Derrick worried that if Nicole started running around, talking about how great of a player Derrick was, he'd become everyone's next target. Therefore, Derrick decided Nicole needed to get evicted. If she stuck around, she could rally votes from Christine and Victoria.
At the Power of Veto meeting, Christine obviously chose to use the veto on herself, forcing Caleb to name a replacement nominee. Caleb went with his gut and nominated Victoria in Christine's place, announcing Nicole was the main target.
