The first surprise guest of "Big Brother 17" arrived on Thursday, June 25 as the first Takeover twist was revealed. On Night 2, the show welcomed not just one, but two surprise guests, Jeff Weldon and Jackie Ibarra, who are "The Amazing Race" alums.
"Amazing Race" host Phil Keoghan showed up to introduce Jeff and Jackie, who were paired up as strangers on blind date on "Amazing Race". They, however, currently are just friends. They entered the competition along with six other previously-announced houseguests Liz Nolan, Jason Roy, Vanessa Rousso, Steve Moses, John McGuire and Becky Burgess.
The second group of houseguests then competed in Head of Household competition, where they had to hold onto a pole while a harness pulled them upward. Jackie and Jason were the last remaining players holding onto the pole, and Jason told Jackie to give up. He promised he would not nominate her if he won and Jackie agreed, so Jason became the second HoH.
Phil later returned to inform them that since Vanessa and Da'Vonne agreed to sit out of the HoH competitions, they might get a reward.
