Angela Murray became the Head of Household (HOH) in Week 4, but her reign was highjacked by Quinn Martin, who had the power of the Deep Fake Head of Household. With this power, Martin could choose which housemates would be on the block for the week.
In a move to try to take Tucker Des Lauriers out of the game, Martin nominated him alongside Makensy Manbeck and Cedric Hodges. However, Des Lauriers was able to pull himself off the block after winning the Power of Veto.
