Christmas will be shown competing against Paul Abrahamian and Josh Martinez in the final Head of Household competition of the summer during the September 20 finale at 8PM ET/PT, and the winner will be able to choose one player to go to the Final 2.
The 35-year-old fitness enthusiast -- or "superstar," as CBS calls her -- who currently resides in Raleigh, NC, therefore has a good chance to win the $500,000 grand prize. After all, Christmas made it this far on one leg, and she maintained a social game through most of the season.
If Christmas wins HoH, will she take Paul or Josh to the finals? And if one of the guys takes the cake, will he bring Christmas along for the ride? In the end, the winner will be determined by the jury of previously-evicted houseguests.
