TORONTO, April 4, 2014 /CNW/ - In the season's first major power play, Canada's HOH nominations flipped the house, fractured the "first five" alliance, and saw Calgary's Andrew Gordon evicted in a 7-2 vote.

After Arisa Cox revealed that Canada was this week's HOH, the helpless houseguests buckled up and prepared for takeoff in the high-stakes Power of Veto competition. Jon won the POV, but kept the true north strong and free by leaving Canada's nominations intact.

"I'm overwhelmed to be honest. It's a bit crazy being out of the house," said Andrew Gordon. "I think the biggest misconception about me is that I'm a sarcastic jerk all of the time. I think that it's just most of the time."

With Andrew's eviction, the "first five" became four and the houseguests formed new alliances and prepared for an inevitable power shift starting with the "Big Brother Blindside" HOH competition. The new Head of Household will be revealed and will name the next nominees Sunday at 9pm ET on Slice, paving the way for the season's first double eviction on Thursday, April 10.
