Big Brother 12 Episode 17 aired on August 15, 2010, revealing who the new HOH is as well as who the two nominees for eviction are this week.

August 15, 2010 Sunday was Big Brother 12 episode 17, and CBS viewers were finally told who won the HOH competition at the end of the last episode. It was another endurance challenge (the third of Big Brother 12), and again CBS planned to have it come to an end on the internet live feeds. That meant viewers had to wait for Sunday to find out the HOH as well as the new HOH nominations.

Big Brother 12 August 12 HOH Competition

The HOH competition this week was a version of a ropes course, with all of the houseguests tied to a rope, which was tangled and knotted along a course. The object was to simply untie all the notes and make their way through the course while connected to the rope. It wasn’t as easy as it sounded, and several houseguests weren’t intelligent enough to figure out how to work the knots.

Brendon jumped out to an early lead, with Lane and Hayden not too far behind him. Ragan, Britney, Enzo, and Kathy could not figure out what was going on, and performed terribly again. It’s really hard to foresee any of those four actually winning an HOH competition, because Ragan always quits, and the other three have never even come close to winning one.

The lead progressed for Brendon, and he flat out blew everybody out of the water. Maybe he has extra energy from having the other houseguests dupe him into believing Rachel was staying in the house, but he went on a tear all the way to victory.

Brendon became the sixth HOH in the Big Brother 12 house. He then chose Ragan, Britney, and Matt as the three Have Nots for the week, and Britney was not happy about it. Do any viewers think this should have come as a surprise to her?

Big Brother 12 Episode 17 Recap

Immediately after Brendon won the HOH, the rest of the houseguests started second-guessing the decision to vote out Rachel first. Enzo was especially frustratedabout it, because he had been fighting to evict Brendon first. Britney then took over the role of house crier, finding anyone she could to cry to about thinking she was going home next.

It seemed that both Ragan and Britney finally woke up and realized that they were in a game though, and maybe they will actually make game-affecting decisions this next week instead of just sitting in the house letting things happen around them. Meanwhile, Enzo and Hayden started talking out loud about trusting Matt less than Brendon, showing that there were cracks forming in the Brigade alliance.
