Week 1 saw the game begin with 12 housemates moving into the Madhouse. Shortly after introductions, Marlon won the opening HOH competition "Going Bananas". At nominations, Marlon put up Cara and Danny for eviction, with the intention of Cara being a pawn and Danny, who Marlon saw as an alpha male, to be evicted. However, when Cara won the Veto competition "Cry Me a Veto" and took herself off, Marlon saw the opportunity to target another threat: Abram. At the eviction, the entire house, minus Jen, was in on the plan to backdoor Abram, and he became the first person evicted in an 8-1 vote.

Janelle returned Eugenia's favor by nominating her for eviction, and put up Jen as well worried that there may be another attempt at an overthrow. A wrench was thrown in Janelle's plan however, when Jen won the "Get Your Pairings Straight" competition, shocking everyone.

The Eugenia/Janelle rivalry continued as Eugenia nominated Janelle, as well as pawn Morgan. Keisha won the Veto in the "OTEV the Absent-Minded Alien" competition, but wanted one of her targets were on the block. After a long conversation, Eugenia finally agreed to Keisha's suggestion. At the veto ceremony, Keisha used her power to remove Morgan from the block, and Zach was named the replacement nominee under Keisha's terms.
