It was revealed that Christie had a pre-existing relationship with Tommy Bracco prior to filming; her ex-girlfriend is Tommy's aunt, the two appearing together in social media posts. The two allege they were not aware that they'd be competing together and expressed visible shock to seeing each other in the house on premiere night.

Following the Camp Director twist, Christie won the first Head of Household competition. She nominated Cliff and Kathryn for eviction. After Sam vetoed Cliff from the block, Christie named Ovi as the replacement nominee. In week 3, Christie won the third and final Whacktivity competition earning the Panic Power.

On Day 66, Christie was nominated by Nick through his "America's Prankster" power. She was spared from eviction again when Nick was sent to jury in a 5–0 vote.

Continuing her winning streak, Jessica also won the Week 6 Power of Veto competition, the first Head of Household to do so on Season 21. Due to Jessica's POV win, she effectively forced Christie's Panic Power (earned during the Whacktivity competition) to prematurely expire without ever being used. On Day 48, Jessica decided to not use the POV, remaining firm on her desire to see Jack evicted. On Day 51, Jack was evicted. [12] [13]

On day 73, Jessica was nominated for eviction by Jackson alongside Christie. Christie was later vetoed off the block, and instead faced Cliff on the first eviction vote of Day 79.

[20] After Kathryn vetoed Jessica off the block in Week 3, Nick named Nicole the replacement nominee hoping to backdoor her. Sitting next to Cliff on Day 30, Nicole survived eviction when the Six Shooters alliance decided to blindside Nick and save Nicole in a 6–4 vote. After Cliff won the Camp Comeback competition, Nicole and Cliff reunited their duo and moved forward throughout the rest of the game together. Using her social game, Nicole played an under the radar game to move forward with strong bonds keeping her safe and informed of the state of the game. As part of the Cliff's Angels alliance of herself, Cliff, Kat, and Jessica, Nicole helped vote out Jack. This also helped her form a relationship with Jackson and Holly that eventually led to the formation of a Final 4 deal, also including her closest ally Cliff. When Tommy nominated Cliff and Kat for eviction, Cliff's Angels disbanded due to Kat's eviction and Jessica's defection. Subsequently, Nicole remained safe from the block, but lost her ally Nick and former ally Jessica in back to back weeks. Nicole took an active role in the game at the Final 6 Double Eviction, where she won her first competition to become HOH and nominate secret duo Tommy and Christie, and finally took out Christie.

On Day 15, Ovi was the first HouseGuest evicted by a vote of 12–0 against Kathryn. Before Ovi could exit the house, the Camp Comeback twist was introduced and instead of leaving, Ovi moved to a new, secluded room (alongside David) upstairs.
