Hi everyone!
So, it occurred to me that some of our readers might have missed tonight’s Double Eviction episode because of the whole fight between Time Warner Cable and CBS. So, for all of you who missed it, here’s a complete rundown of what happened on tonight’s show.
(Needless to say, if you’re on the West Coast, this entire post might count as being a spoiler so read with caution.)
8:01 pm — We start with Julie Chen, telling us that we’re about to have a double eviction night and that the houseguests don’t know that there’s even more surprises in store.
This is followed by previously on Big Brother. We get to see Candice and Amanda fight again.
Julie tells us that this is “the biggest night of the summer.” She also says that “tonight the jury begins.”
But first, it’s flashback time:
We again sit through Jessie taking herself off the block and GM nominating Spencer. In the DR, Candice says that people are turning against Amanda. Amanda complains about the “anonymous MVP” and says, “It’s time to play nice Amanda.”
We watch Amanda telling Jessie that she wants to be friends. In the DR, Jessie says she doesn’t believe Amanda is sincere.
Amanda has a meting with Judd, McCrae, and Andy. We learn that they have a final four deal. Judd tells Amanda not to have any more emotional outbursts. Amanda looks annoyed.
Candice talks to Elissa about how Amanda and McCrae are dangerous. They’re joined by Jessie. They talk about how much they hate Amanda.
In the bathroom, Jessie talks to Helen about voting out Amanda.
In the Diary Room, Helen says, “This would be the biggest move in the game and I can’t do it without all my allies onboard.”
Jessie talks to Judd about voting out Amanda.
In the Diary Room, Judd says he has to cover all his bases.
Helen talks to Andy in the storage room. Helen says she’s up for huge moves but she doesn’t want to do anything unless Andy is onboard. Andy tells Helen not to vote out Amanda.
In the Diary Room, Andy says that Amanda is his biggest ally in the house.
The next day, Helen talks (and talk) to Candice and Jessie. Candice says everyone is crazy if they don’t vote out Amanda. Helen tells them that she doesn’t have any “clout in the house.” Helen talks and talks. “Amanda has not done me any any wrong,” Helen says but she also says that she’s waiting until the House wants to vote Amanda out.
Back to Julie. She talks to the Houseguests. Helen tells them that the jury will be made up of 9 houseguests. The houseguests pretend to be excited. Julie then tells them that is a double eviction. Julie says, “Just because you’re on the jury doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out of the game.” Aaryn looks confused.
Candice gives her final speech. Candice tells off Gina Marie. Gina Marie starts going: “Stop, stop!” GM holds up Nick’s hat. Julie has lost control.
Spencer finally starts his speech. He says hi to his family and tells someone to enjoy school.
Amanda says “Hi, mom and dad,” and asks to be kept in the house.
McCrae votes for Candice.
Aaryn votes for “Candice the Clown.”
Helen votes for “my boo, Candice.”
Jessie votes for Candice.
Julie says its official, Candice will be leaving.
Elissa votes for Candice.
Andy hops into the Diary Room and enthusiastically votes to evict Candice.
Judd runs into the Diary Room. Votes to evict Candice.
Julie tells us that Candice has been voted out but since she’s a juror, Julie won’t be able to give her any “news or feedback from the outside world.”
Julie tells the HGs that Candice has been voted out.
Candice throws her clown wig on the floor, hugs everyone, and leaves. Gina Marie shouts that her mom didn’t want her as Candice leaves the house. (At least that’s what I think GM said.)
Julie talks to Candice. Candice and Julie talk about some of the racist comments made in the house. Candice says that it was difficult not to stand up for herself but “I stayed true to myself.”
And we go to commercial.
8:24 — And we’re back!
The new Head of Household Competition is taking place in the backyard. It’s a question-and-answer competition. Julie will ask them questions about the number of things in the house. Each HG can answer with either “more” or “less.” For example, Julie might ask, “There are 10 chairs in the have-not bedroom,” and then the HGs would answer with either “more” or “less.” Get an answer wrong and you’re eliminated from the competition. The last HG standing becomes the new HOH.
Elissa is eliminated on the first question.
Andy and Jessie are eliminated on the 2nd question.
Nobody is eliminated on the 3rd question.
On the 4th question, everyone gets it wrong except for Aaryn who wins HoH for the 3rd time! GM hugs her.
Julie says that we return from commercial, she’s going to reveal “news about the MVP twist.”
And we go to commercial.
8:30 — And we’re back.
In the house, Aaryn is talking to McCrae, Andy, Spencer, and Amanda. They’re telling Aaryn to nominate Jessie and Spencer. Despite being the only person to have won multiple HoHs, Aaryn seems incapable of actually being Head of Household. Aaryn looks incredibly stressed.
Julie calls everyone into the living room. Julie tells them that the MVP twist is officially over but she doesn’t tell them that America was MVP. Lisa curses at the TV as Amanda cheers. Lisa starts to wonder if maybe — just maybe — this game is being rigged in Amanda’s favor.
(Yes, this does mean that — from now on — only two people will be nominated for eviction.)
Aaryn nominates Jessie and Spencer.
We go to commercial.
8:37 pm — We’re back and we’re ready to play the MVP.
Andy, Judd, Amanda, Spencer, Jessie, and Aaryn will be playing for the Power of Veto. The competition is called Nailed It. Basically, they have to grab a bunch of over-sized nails from a tool box and use them to put together a puzzle. Aaryn easily wins the veto. Seriously, nobody else comes close.
As we go to commercial, we see Helen hugging Aaryn and, no doubt, telling her that she’s a special little snowflake.
We go to commercial.
8:45 pm — And we’re back.
Judd is talking to Amanda, McCrae, and Andy. It looks like he’s saying that he never did something.
In the living room, Helen is talking to Aaryn, “Do it!” Helen tells her in that Helen-like way of hers.
McCrae is hugging Amanda and sobbing, for some reason.
Julie calls all the HGs into the living room “right now!”
Aaryn takes Jessie off the block and puts Judd in her place. Aaryn says that Judd has been playing everyone in the house. Aaryn says she has to do it or she’ll go home.
The audience, by the way, was heard to groan when Judd was nominated. (Fortunately, Judd is wearing his bear shirt.)
We go to commercial, perhaps so we can think about how the whole MVP twist basically screwed Judd over for absolutely no good reason.
8:51 pm — We’re back. I’m trying not to yell too loudly at the TV because I am seriously annoyed with both the producers and the houseguests right now.
Spencer says don’t vote me out.
Judd says that he didn’t play anyone and he asks everyone to vote how they want to and not how they’re being told to vote.
Aaryn looks like she’s about to have a nervous breakdown.
Jessie is sobbing.
Amanda votes first. Amanda votes to evict Judd.
McCrae votes “sadly to evict Judd.”
GM comes in. GM fights tear as she votes to evict Judd.
Andy’s voice cracks as he votes to evict Judd.
“It’s official, Judd will be leaving,” Julie says.
Helen happily says that she votes to evict Judd.
Elissa fights back tears as she votes for Judd.
Jessie votes to evict Judd. She fights back tears.
Only Helen acted happy about her vote. That will be remembered by many viewers.
Julie tells Judd that he’s been evicted. Judd hugs everyone. He says “Good luck” as he leaves.
Outside the house, the audience goes wild for Judd.
Inside the house, everyone is crying. Andy hugs Spencer. Helen grabs Aaryn and starts going, “That was so humongous!”
Outside, Julie talks to Judd. Julie seems to be confused as to why Judd was voted out. Judd says, “I don’t know what happened!” At this point, I yell at the TV, “It’s because you people screwed up that stupid MVP twist, JULIE! YOU OWE THAT MAN $500,000!”
Julie tells us to watch next week. For the record, she does not mention the reset button.
Back in the BB house, Helen is talking to GM. Amanda is staring blankly at the floor.
And so, the double eviction episode ends.
Stay supple,
Lisa Marie
