Episode 24 recap - No place like home

Despite surviving the block unanimously, Zach still feels like a huge target in the house. And he's not wrong. Godfrey is telling him that the guys are gonna stick together, but Zach doesn't believe him at all. Probably because of all those speeches he gave about getting him out.

The next HoH is crucial with the house split down the middle, and the houseguests have to lie in a glass box counting to 100 minutes. It's not that easy though, as there are several distractions. Bugs are coming out, Graig's voice is playing over the speaker, and most cruel of all, they get their loved ones voices. A creepy clown provides a hilarious diversion too, even for Ashleigh who's not playing. They're also put through the elements...smoke, water and worms. Zach is the first to tap out and Brittnee goes right after him. Sarah seems to think they're way under. The worms break Pilar, who just can't take it anymore. Only Godfrey and Sarah are left...Sarah tells Godfrey he'll be safe if he taps out, and he does so. Since everybody was under, Sarah wins.

Sarah is amazed to be HoH and we get a look at her partner Scott, who is not what I expected. Sarah and Brittnee talk about potentially being the final 2 and how they need Zach out - but Pilar is not a bad option either since she's in between Zach and Ashleigh. Zach is sharing the Have Not room with Brittnee since they were furthest off, and tries to build a bond with her.

The houseguests are split into pairs for the chance to win a gift card, and all they have to do is eat pizza and identify the toppings. Eat pizza?? What an amazing challenge. Godfrey and Ashleigh feel confident since Godfrey prides himself on having a great palette. Sarah and Brittnee are another pair and despite being in sync for most of the game, disagree over pesto. Anyway, Godfrey and Ashleigh win the challenge and everyone gets a pizza party complete with letters from home.

But perhaps the bigger reward is getting to see a loved one. Ashleigh gets 2 minutes with her mom the backyard, and Godfrey also sees his sister. The love from home might seem a little overboard this episode, but it's interesting to get some insight into the enigma that is Godfrey. His sister even breaks the news that she's pregnant. Awww.

Sarah considers her options for nominations carefully, making arguments for all 4 sans Britt. Zach knows he's the target because he thinks he's the best player in the house. Sarah clearly agrees, since she puts him on the block and calls him the King. Up to next to him is his Queen, Ashleigh. But Zach has prove himself to be a bit of a comp beast, so if he wins the veto, I will not be surprised.
