And who's the timeless chef this week? Congratulations... DOUGLAS!

THE STORY SO FAR! A twist from the Comicverse spelled safety for Jag, but that would put everyone in the HOH. Jared outlasted the competition to win the keys to the Master Bedroom, sending Cameron & Red onto the block.

Jared confirms that Cam is the main target, while Red is convinced that Cam had something to do with him being on the block. Jag doesn't think he can trust Cirie anymore, but he still wants to work with the 7 Deadly Sins.

Jared & Cam talk in the HOH room. Cam still thinks REd is the target and tells Jared what he wants to hear.

Time to choose players for the Veto Competition! Jared picks Felicia, Red picks America, and Cam picks Matt. Jared is going on a mission to trash America, saying he'll backdoor her at the first hint that she'll throw the Veto. Cory thinks Jared is freaking out for something that will not happen - America saying Cam. He pulls America aside and says that people think she throws competitions.

VETO COMPETITION #5: "Sludge Stackers". Stack 36 miniature bottles into a pyramid with tweezers. The first person to finish wins the Power of Veto.
- WINNER: Cameron Hardin.

Felicia & Cirie play catchup. Felicia thinks America or Bowie Jane will sit next to Red. America heard this and talks to Jared, saying she's furious that people think she throws comps.

In the backyard, Red basically has a conscious uncoupling with Cam. Cirie also realizes that it's not in her interests to keep Jag in the house.

VETO MEETING #5: Cam decides to take himself off the block.
- NOMINATED FOR EVICTION: Red Utley, Jag Bains

Who will be evicted this week - Red or Jag? Find out live tomorrow night.

Last week in the All-Star Invitational, Shota Nakajima lost in the Food Pyramid checkout round.
On the panel today... Rocco diSpirito, Antonia Lofaso, and Scott Conant.

GAME 5: A comfort classic... using what's on Guy's GROCERY LIST - Something purple, a boneless pork loin, something vegetarian in a can, and a frozen treat. The winner... will be the only one immune and through to the finale.
- Mei: Koji-Marinated Pork Schnitzel with Potato Salad
- Stephanie: Pork Piccata with Grilled Radicchio Salad
- Nate: Double Decker Tacos with Fried Plantains
- Jonathon: Saltimbocca with Red Eye Gravy & Sweet Potatoes
WINNER: Mei

CHECKOUT ROUND: Burgers & fries. But you can't use ground meat, buns, or potatoes. It's UN-GREDIENTS.
- Jonathon: Brisket Burger & Polenta Fries
- Nate: Plant-Based Burger with Zucchini Fries
- Stephanie: Tofu Patty Melt & Tempura Green Beans
ELIMINATED: Nate

Next week, the final three take on the final round.

ROUND 1: John and Brad are tied at 400 to 300 for Lorena. Kelly sweeps the Master Minds with 700 to Beastie's 600 & Jonathan's 400.

ROUND 2: Going into the 400-point question, the challenger board reads 1200 - 900 - 1000, with John leading. Kelly assures herself of a Speed Round berth with 1500 to 1200 for Mark & 1000 for Jonathan.
- 400-POINT QUESTION in "Comics": Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is named for the painter of "The Transfiguration" and "La Fornarina"? Lorena is right to move on with... John. Mark is also right to join Kelly.

SPEED ROUND: John sweeps the round to win, 4700-1300. Mark edges out Kelly to win, 4100-3500.

ULTIMATE TRIVIA CHALLENGE
Q1: Now designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, Cuzco is the former capital of what extensive empire? (Inca)

And we are tied, so John will have one more question to win the $10,000....
