Sonja Fleming/CBSRegardless of what happens with America’s Veto vote, this week’s chaotic Veto meeting has left the house rocked. Tucker claimed Cedric didn’t tell him not to use the Veto on himself, which Cedric denied and vowed to target Cedric going forward. The entire house also now knows about Quinn’s secret deepfake HOH power, which allows her to secretly control nominations for a week. This means anyone not aligned with Quinn has a strong incentive to vote her out if she finds herself on the block on Thursday.
