After the marathon endurance Head of Household competition on Thursday, Big Brother has a new leader and two new people are on the block.  If you want to remain in the dark until Sunday's show, go away, but if you want to know who the HoH nominated, continue.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains results of the HoH competition and nomination ceremony.

As you already know, Russell won the HoH, and as part of a deal he made with Jeff, the second-to-last man standing, Ronnie had to be a nominee and Jeff and Jordan had to be safe.  Russell upheld both ends of the deal.

However, Russell also played a fairly strategic game by also nominating Lydia.  It seems as though Jessie, Ronnie, Natalie and their newest cohort Chima wanted Lydia out, so it seems Russell has made half the house happy by nominating Ronnie and the other half happy by nominating Lydia.

If these stick, and assuming there is no Coup d'Etat, I'd say Jeff, Jordan, Michele and Kevin would vote to keep Lydia, sending Ronnie the rat home, finally.

Of course, with a PoV, the Coup d'Etat and the general unpredictability of the American voting public, the rest of the week is anyone's guess.
