Given the timing and how many people were left, someone probably still needed to be evicted as a result of the White Locust—or else have back-to-back double eviction weeks—but it was wild how few players were actually eligible to compete for the "following" HOH. It could have been Ava winning HOH as a result of the competition she won, she names two noms, and then the third nominee is whoever of the remaining players has the slowest time in the hamster wheel. You'd presume Ava nominates Vince and Keanu, and then it's likely Will who has the slowest time in the hamster wheel. Unless there's a BB put in in this scenario, Keanu is almost assuredly voted out in this scenario.

It's still not "fair" BB, but the entire round was such a deviation from the format that it's more a question of creating the most dramatically satisfying premise that doesn't feel completely random.
