Voting history

The voting table below records whom each housemate voted to nominate on the diary room during his or her time in the House. The Head of Household (HOH) vote (cast in front of the other housemates) automatically nominates one housemate from eviction. Then, the other housemates vote and if the vote is tied, the HOH breaks the tie (all these types of vote count for the total number of nominations received).
