Quote from CBS regarding HOH comp:
CAN'T STAND THE HEAT? GET OUT OF THE COOKER
is home and ready to resume the game, preparing for "pressure cooker," this week's "stressful" HoH Competition. In an oversized plastic pressure cooker in the backyard, each housemate has to choose one of the nine buttons in the cooker and hold it down as long for as possible. The aim of the game is endurance. There are no food, drink or toilet breaks, and the door will only open when three people have let go of their buttons, allowing these people to leave the game. The door will not open again until another three people have released their buttons. The last HouseGuest still holding down their button after everyone else has quit is the new HoH. There is an added twist though: each time a person lets go of their button, they have to open one of the nine boxes in the center of the "pressure cooker." Inside the boxes are surprises for the HouseGuests. Some of the surprises are good and some not.
The new HoH will be announced on the next episode of BIG BROTHER. How will the re-entry of
determine the power plays and realigning of alliances? Maggie and her Powder-Puff Friendship Alliance are now faced with an equal force in the Sovereign Five. But can
