I love Chain Reaction. This sort of thing isn't my forte, but I will be having a blast trying to crack the code and connect the chains.

Ok, everyone! I am grading the later sent-in answers and reviewing the scores. Stand by for results! When the HOH is announced, HOH Winner, please be ready to pick your power!

[ddawgman1]

OK, everyone! Finally, I have finished grading the HOH Competition results and I am ready to announce the winner!

First off, I want to let everyone know that I realize this was not an easy competition. Chain Reaction has been a competition that we’ve done a lot on Big Brother, but it is not an easy one to do! For all of you who made an effort, I want to commend you. Really good job for everyone. And, for the high scorers, great job as well!

And there were some high scores as well.



































RED!















You got an impressive score of 25. That is really good…………………………….




























































But, others scored higher. I am sorry, but you did not win HOH. Really good effort.





















































WITH A SCORE OF 28 POINTS……….


























































JACOB!











































You came in third, but again, really good effort. These were hard chains to figure out. Really good job!














































WITH A SCORE OF 34………………………………………………………………
















































































JAKE!











































You got the highest score that was attained! 34 was the highest score in the competition. So, congratulations, Jake!























































YOU TIED! With some other houseguest that also got 34 points! And that other person is:



































































AMANDA!









Jake and Amanda, you both got 34 points. Really good job! Now, as I stated before, if there was a tie, the tie breaker would be decided by who sent their answers in first. If there was a tie there, then it would be sudden death…………………………………..


































But, we will not need sudden death. One of you sent in your answers a lot earlier than the other. That person, and the winner of the HOH Competition is…………………….

































AMANDA! Congratulations, Amanda, you have won Head of Household. You have won Immunity for the week, as well as one of the choices of power the HOH can get. Please message that to me.
















EVERYONE ELSE, START THINKING ABOUT WHO YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR. SEND YOUR VOTES TO BRETT BY TOMORROW!

Derek, for the love of all that is good, I need to know these answers.

[brendan]

Red, Jacob, and Amanda.

You've all proven your moxie with those scores.

I'm sure you're all ready to conquer the challenges that are supposedly tougher than this, that are coming up in the future.

How do graduation and petition connect?

[jacob]

Congrats Amanda!

[cregis]

Congratulations Amanda! And a great effort by those high scorers. That is awesome work.

[doolgirl]

Thank you so much!! That was definitely very tough and I'm quite shocked I finished on top. Congrats to Jacob, red and Jake on strong finishes as well!!

[Brett]

Just to reiterate what Derek said, votes are due to me tomorrow at 7PM. Failure to vote will result in two automatic nomination votes and a strike. Amanda is the only immune player this week as HOH.

[lassidoggy]

How does tantrum and soda connect? That's what I wanna know.

[crulex]

I'm surprised that I guessed wrong in the beginning and still ended up with some correct words near the end of some chains. Oh well. Great job Amanda! Congrats!

[redwing91]

There are quiet a few I don't see the connection. Blue and Skin for one the ones others have mentioned.

I disagree with the drink less

[ddawgman1]

To answer some of your questions about the chains:

Drink Less: it's related to alcohol. "Drink Less" to prevent alcoholism, DUI, etc.
Blue Skin: when your body is not getting any oxygen, your skin begins to turn blue. Hence, blue skin.
Tantrum Soda: It's a brand of soda on How I Met Your Mother.
Graduation Petition: In college and graduate school, if you want to graduate, you have to file a "Petition to Graduate". It's basically a petition stating that you have finished all requirements of the school and are ready to receive your diploma. Trust me: this I know. I had to pay $50 to file my graduation petition so it could be "processed". Just another way the school could get me for more money........

Anyways, I hope these explanations help you all see the chains! Let me know if you want any more clarified!
