McCrae says Judd is not protecting Aaryn by not putting her up. He thinks the other Houseguests are cowards for not wanting to make bold moves. Amanda says again that Aaryn is not a threat. They talk about how Judd wanting Jessie as part of their alliance opens the door for Elissa to want to bring in Candice.
3:40AM Judd asks Jessie who to put up; Jessie reviews two scenarios. His alliance is telling him to backdoor Howard. Judd replies, they're telling me to put up whoever, the three girls, and I guess, Elissa. Jessie asks if that's so Elissa puts up Howard for MVP? He replies that Elissa is too scared to backdoor Howard and he'll see who MVP puts up and he'll know whether to throw the Veto. Jessie thinks they're just getting him to do what they don't want to do. They agree that McCrae is letting Amanda call all the shots. Judd mentions putting up Kaitlin as a pawn; Jessie questions why.

Judd doesn't want GinaMarie in jury. Jessie worries again if Aaryn and Kaitlin stay she will go up. Judd says Kaitlin is more of a threat and GinaMarie's gotten on his nerves. He's told Aaryn that he's not putting her up no matter what. "She has nobody." Jessie is concerned Andy and Amanda like Kaitlin more than Jessie and would keep Kaitlin over her. She feels Kaitlin is being told the same things Helen and Amanda are telling Jessie.
Judd says he'd feel better if Amanda and McCrae would come up and talk. Jessie tells Judd that Andy and Amanda feel they have Kaitlin in their back pocket and it gets them further in the game. Jessie thinks Kaitlin needs to be backdoored. She's worried Jeremy might come back if Kaitlin remains in the game. Judd worries it would backfire and Aaryn would go home. Judd says he's starting not to trust Amanda and McCrae. Jessie tells him they're playing both sides and there was no backlash on them at all for the last evictions.

FISH and we come back to them discussing Elissa/MVP putting up 'someone random.' Amanda wants Judd to put someone up for the alliance not just his own game. Judd says Jessie is getting nervous and Amanda tells Judd to tell her about the alliance but not to say anything to Elissa. Amanda thinks Spencer is a vote for Howard to stay. Judd says he trusts Aaryn more than he trusts Spencer. McCrae says Aaryn goes straight to Kaitlin with anything that's said to her. Judd wants to put Kaitlin and GM up. Amanda questions why Elissa wants to put up Aaryn.
Judd says he wants to tell Elissa to put up Candice and if she doesn't, he'll backdoor Elissa. Amanda tells Judd Elissa won't put up Candice, she'll put up Aaryn.

Amanda wanders off for food and returns saying that all she's talked about the last week is GM.
5:00AM Spencer is headed to bed. Amanda tells Judd that Helen has already told Kaitlin she's not going up. They agree that Judd needs to make Elissa feel part of the group and Helen needs to stop talking. Judd says again he didn't want to win this HOH as he goes up to bed. Amanda and McCrae make out for another 15 minutes before getting up and heading towards the bathroom to brush their teeth.
