They agreed that if Kandi or Dina won the veto then Lolo was going up. However, Lolo earned the W in the veto competition.

Lolo wanted to get rid of Kandi and considered using the veto. She knew that if she put Tamar on the block, Dina would vote to evict Tamar.

She would then vote to evict Kandi leaving Ricky with the deciding vote. She wanted to bank on her knowledge that Ricky would keep Tamar over Kandi.

However, Tamar wasn’t pleased with the idea. Tamar added that she’d be fine to send Kandi home and Lolo eventually chose against using it.

One would go with him to the final two while the other two would be evicted. He announced his decision saying,

“I love you Dina, and it’s been great, but I choose to evict you. It’s been great working with you, Lolo. I offered you a deal so I didn’t have to be in the position; you didn’t want it, so I evict Lolo.”
