Somehow pressured by the various signals and videos about what they did the night before and Big Brother's unwillingness to talk, the five housemates decided to answer which of them do not deserve to be in the "Big Four." But all five gained the X-medals, forcing Jon to "nominate" the two females for eviction.

In fact, to seemingly support this, Ruben and Gaby confessed that it was not their intention to nominate their selections (Ruben chose Will; Gaby chose Ruben) rather than Riza.
