As the Power of Veto holder, Porsche, you have the chance to change the course of the week and potentially save a nominee from leaving this game. You will have 24 hours to make a decision on whether or not to use the veto. As current HOH, Ian, you will need to name a replacement if the veto is used. Afterward everyone but Ian's 2 nominees will cast a vote for one of the nominees. Ian you will vote in case of a tie. Remember you MUST leave goodbye messages for BOTH nominees for your vote to count. Failure to follow instructions will prohibit you from competing in next week's Head of Household competition. Good luck everyone!

I'm usually one to sit back and let things fall as they might, but I feel this needs reiterated...
With David admitting to having cheated (which, while it's a sucky thing to do, I do admire the fact that he was able to own up to his shitty choice and do the right thing by removing himself from the game), we're left realizing that there is someone in this series who is blatantly cheating and breaking rules that are clearly giving themselves or others an unfair advantage.
I'm not going to assume that it's another houseguest, as it could just as unfortunately be a staff member (assuming they had access to the challenge information?). But either way, someone worked with David to attempt to unfairly alter the PoV. I also admire David for not wanting to throw a friend under the bus, but at what point will people stoop to pretend that they are innocent or ignore the situation, not only letting David take the fall alone, but slapping Julie in the face by their actions clearly showing that they don't value integrity when it comes to playing fairly.
As players and members of the series, we expect Julie to be 100% fair when she hosts, so how is it fair that someone is holding a double standard, by acting in a way that doesn't respect the game, the players, or most importantly the host who takes their time to put into this game for us to play.
I'm not perfect myself, and I can't say that I've never made a morally questionable decision. In past games, I've been in David's shoes, and sadly, I didn't get caught. I don't know if it's a level of maturity, or what, but over time, I've felt INCREDIBLY guilty for sharing answers when it was explicitly against the rules. If I could go back and change my actions I would.
I guess I'm writing this, not with the hopes of "outing" another player, but addressing the sad fact that these games are corrupt by people's inability to just play the game the fair way, trickery and deception of relationships to win, NOT cheating or rule-breaking and thus giving themselves an unfair advantage.
Whoever you are, all I ask is that you really consider your actions. Do what you need to do to make this right in your own perspective, but please, realize that what you're doing isn't cool.
And in closing, I know this isn't the first time something unfair or immoral has happened in an ORG. I'm not an idiot to think that these things don't happen in my own ORG. But after years of playing and hosting, I just want to see more integrity brought to the mechanics of the game. Use your lying, deception, and cunning gameplay in the social setting, and not in a way that taints the integrity of the way the game works.
I know you aren't calling out the staff, but I will back them up anyway.
The only people who can see the competitions before they are posted are myself, Brian, Drew, and Jason. I didn't create the words until I actually posted the competition. Drew and Jason hadn't logged on to see them and I trust Brian with my life. Also, I think they are all amazing and trustworthy or they wouldn't be where they are.
Like I said, I do not want to interfere in this game, but I'm basically 99% sure of the culprit and I guess they think they are fooling everyone... Just saying, your cheating partner is gone. #davidsnothere
