The final group charges to the backyard to compete for the chance to play for the first HOH. Cody and Memphis advanced to compete in the first HOH competition.
Next, all four individual groups of houseguests are introduced to one another inside the Big Brother house.
Head of Household Competition
The first HOH competition of the summer is called Star-Steppin and only six houseguests will be competing in the first HOH title. They include Christmas, Ian, Kevin, Nicole A., Cody, and Memphis. One at a time, the players must race across the star-studded field to get to the other side the fastest. Some of the stars are solid and some not so much. If you fall, you must start over from he beginning and try again. The player with the fastest time will be the first HOH of the summer.
There is a three minute time limit to complete the challenge. If the players fail to complete the course within three minutes, they are immediately eliminated. They must also pick up an envelope to be opened later. A random order was established for the competition, and players will not watch others compete as to not gain an advantage.
Cody was the winner of the first HOH competition of the summer with a blazing time of just over 22 seconds. Julie spoke with Cody privately in the Diary Room. Cody was the most surprised with seeing Kayser in the house. He also wanted to win the first HOH once he saw all of the cast for this season.
Time to open envelopes from the HOH competition. Inside each envelope is either a cash prize or a punishment. Ian, Kevin, Nicole A., and Memphis will be the first have-nots the season. Christmas won a $5,000 cash prize in her envelope.
As a have-not, the four houseguests will take only cold showers, eat slop, and sleep in dire conditions for one week.
Tune back in on Sunday, August 9th at 10 PM EST, 9PM CST for the next episode of Big Brother 22 All-Stars. The first twist of the summer will be revealed on Sunday called the Safety Suite which all houseguests will want.
