It was an insanely crazy night in the BIG BROTHER house; not one, but two houseguests were evicted and sent to the jury house in a surprise double eviction. The surprises didn't stop there, as Julie Chen revealed a twist that could drastically change the outcome of the game. Ready to get started?
Jeff and Jordan will return to the house with a special surprise in tow for the houseguests.
Julie teased a twist that would, "alter the game like never before."
With the target on her back (yet again), Nicole vented to Victoria about how Caleb feels incredibly threatened by her, when, in all actuality, Frankie is who he needs to be focusing his target on. In a hush-hush chat in the HOH room, Caleb mentioned to Frankie (for some absurd reason) that the Bombsquad was debating a backdoor-plan to out him, while the opportunity to do so was still available. Clearly angered that the option was even entertained, Frankie was curious as to who was actually considering the plan. He decided that it must have been a Cody and Derrick plan. In his usual outspoken, abrasive way, he confronted Derrick (who just played dumb) about the possible plan.
Only 10 minutes into the show, Julie informed the houseguests that, as they seemed to all expect, it would in fact be a double eviction night. In her plea to her fellow houseguests to remain in the game, Nicole finally said what us at-home viewers have been saying for most of the season, "Stop playing Big Baby, let's play BIG BROTHER and let's do some big game moves."
In a season in which the house has generally just voted the easiest way, Nicole said exactly what needed to be said! She may be small, but she sure is feisty!
In the first vote of the night here's how it all went down:
Christine: Nicole
Derrick: Nicole
Frankie: Nicole
Cody: Nicole
And just like that, Nicole was back to the jury house, and back to Hayden.
The Head-Of-Household competition was a classic BIG BROTHER-Memory game. A series of videos were played, featuring statements from evicted houseguests. In those statements, a random word was bleeped out, and the houseguest had to correctly remember what word was removed.
It didn't take long to declare a winner; literally in the first round of the game, Derrick was the only one to correctly answer the question, making him the new HOH. As soon as he was crowned HOH, the houseguests lined up (no seriously, they were in a line) to talk to Derrick to see what he was going to. I found it somewhat ironic, the line was reminiscent of waiting to see the principal, as Derrick is practically running the game on his own. With his newfound power, he made the decision to put Victoria and Christine on the block with the intention of Christine going home.
In the Power of Veto competition, the houseguests had to navigate a ball through a series of mazes until it set off a buzzer. In pretty quick fashion, Frankie moved his ball down the varying courses to signal the light and be awarded the Veto. It seemed in her last minute plea to Frankie, Nicole knew that the target was on her back and she said she had no expectation that it would be used on her.
Here's how the second live vote went down:
Frankie: Christine
Caleb: Christine
Cody: Christine
Christine seemed to be in shock that she was voted out. If she thought that the alliance she had been in planned on keeping her any further, she was sadly mistaken. Even more shocking, to me at least, was that the live studio audience booed Christine when she walked out to meet Julie. When asked if she regretted not sticking with Hayden and Nicole, Christine didn't seem so sure that she made the right decision or not. After sending Christine off to the jury house, Julie finally explained the latest twist in the BIG BROTHER game. It's called "BIG BROTHER rewind," and it features a button that, if pushed, has the capability to stop an eviction, and make the houseguests replay the entire week on the next live episode.
So, what do you think about the new twist? Will any of the houseguests push the button? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
