Note: In Week 1, JoJo, Shane, and Willie won the first HOH competition, but their coach, Britney, had to choose who would be HOH. She chose Willie.
Note: Although Shane was the outgoing HOH heading into Week 4, since the eviction was cancelled and the coaches entered the game, Shane was allowed to play in the HOH competition.
On Week 3, the Coaches were given the opportunity to enter the game as players. Since the majority of the coaches chose to enter the game, the eviction was cancelled.
Shane was the first HouseGuest to win the first three Power of Veto competitions in a season. He would later be followed by Michael Bruner from Big Brother 24.
