Coup D'État

The Coup D’État is a power introduced to the houseguests in Season 1. After a puzzle was put in the house, the houseguest who solves the puzzle in secret wins the Power. The holder of Coup DÉtat has the power to overthrow the Head Of Household’s nominations. The winner is also able to name his or her own replacement nominee. However the winner is not allowed to nominate the HOH.

Joey Abi Ghanem
In round 2 of the Game, the puzzle was put in the house before the second HOH competition. After Anthony’s winning, Joey immediately solved the puzzle and won the power. In round 3 he used the power of Coup DÉtat and removed himself off the chopping block, and nominated Georges in his place, who just won the POV and got off the block. But he didn’t use it on Anthony which led to his eviction by a vote of 2-0.
