That left Cody and Enzo, the long-time allies, to battle it out for the final spot.

If Cody wins, I’m not so sure he returns the favor.

I think he’s conflicted, and that Nicole might be a good player to sit next to.

Anyways, enough prognosticating, let’s get this season over with!

Wheover completes the three rounds with the fastest time wins.

He’s supposed to take a picture with three evicted houseguests, but he reads it as two.

As we know, Cody is a comp beast.

He flies through the challenge, and it’s not even close in the end.

It took Enzo 37 minutes to finish the challenge, whereas Cody completes it in only 5 minutes.

I feel bad for Enzo because he clearly struggles with the loss.

It’s human and understandable, and you have to feel for him.

So now, the discussions begin.

Cody is unsure too.

He feels like losing to Nicole would be understandable, but that losing to Enzo would be a travesty.

They all talk about who’s perhaps worthy of the win and what criteria to apply here.

Nicole is a hot topic because she’s a complicated player.

But they clearly think he’s played the best overall game.

Awarding him the prize money might come down to who he’s sitting next to in the end.

That brings us to the final portion of the HOH competition.

Whoever wins mustimmediatelydecide who they’re sitting beside in the end, sending one more person to the jury.

It’s a pure memory game, like so manyBig Brothercompetitions.

Cody wins the first point while Nicole answers wrong.

They both answer correctly in the second round, making it 2-1 for Cody.

They both answer correctly in the third round, so Cody is up 3-2.

That means the final round will either secure Cody a win, or there will be a tie.

It’s a question about Christmas, and they both answer correctly again.

It’s an emotional moment.

And Cody, tears in his eyes, is clearly struggling to cut one of his friends.

I really can’t underscore just how emotional this decision is.

Nicole is blindsided, assuming all along that Cody was going to take her no matter what.

So we’re off to the jury questioning the final two players.

Essentially, this comes down to two very different games.

This is pretty clear if we’re being honest.

Sure enough, this isn’t even close.

For all the problems this season had, this is a worthy winner.

So, that’s two winners who definitely deserve it.
