After that interview, we learned that we would get some information about the girl from Minnesota and the person who emigrated to the Unted States from Iraq. At first, I was like "What, Eric is from Iraq?" because usually the segments are on the nominees and not the people who nominated them. Quite obviously, Kaysar was from Iraq, which meant Janelle is from Minnesota. It's really great to see these familty insights, because usually they are forced to rationalize their relative's asinine behavior in front of the cameras. This time though, it was very nice, with both families basically agreeing that their loved one was intelligent, and they weren't surprised at all that Janelle an Kaysar had teamed up. This segment gave us two "Captain Obvious" moments. First, it is obvious that Janelle's Mom is younger than April (and Janelle is not bad looking with brown hair, I might add). Second, Kaysar's sister, Dalia (who had a very sweet young boy wearing a darling Kaysar shirt, almost as cute as that baby picture of Kaysar we saw a few moments later) said that all the girls in the house wearing bikinis are not really the type of women Kaysar would normally meet in their culture. We love you Dalia, but when you came on in your hijab, we kind of figured that out pretty quickly.

The last segment before the big reveal was some clips of the houseguests putting together the biggest secret so far in the game - the fact that everybody had partners. We remember when Eric kind of flew off of the handle after his nomination and called out Sarah and James. Well, after that, everybody got together and started talking about the pairs. It has been quite apparent, and Eric and Maggie asked if they confessed would everybody else confess. Everybody agreed, but Ivette had a strange look on her face. No, she wasn't surprised at how much her ass has expanded since the beginning of the show, she was apparently the only person in the house who didn't have any inkling about the pairs. She said she needed some Xanax, and I agree, but think she should do us all a favor and take the whole bottle. Maybe after her stomach is pumped, her throat will be too raw to talk. Sucking Eric's balls all summer surely hasn't made her hoarse.

Everybody started admitting to things, but April and Jen and Ivette and Beau tried to keep the ruse alive that they didn't know each other. We know that Julie is going to reveal that everybody has a partner, but they didn't, so they were trying to pull off the lie for as long as possible. The problem is that the longer they deny it, the less effect it has when they admit it. James and Sarah tried to keep the charade, but realized they would gain more from being truthful, and they gained a big alliance. Jenny and April and Ivette and Beau are doing a decent job, but they really sound stupid as they are trying to convince the others of how they didn't know each other.

Eventually, the pressure from the houseguests was too much, and the holdouts began admitting to having a relationship, but refused to admit how close they were. April and Jenny came up with saying that they had seen each other like three times before coming into the house, and Ivette said largely the same thing about her and Beau. She did say that there was another reason they put her and Beau together, and after Cappy put two and two together, he realized Ivette was gay. I guess she's been doing a pretty good job keeping her little secret, but I still think it's not long before April says something.

Finally, it's time for the eviction. As always, both nominees had a chance for some final words. They both made it a point of thanking Big Brother (is that a contract obligation that they can't say CBS or Viacom?) and thanking the houseguests, and Eric made a point of talking about his integrity. Anybody who has to brag about something all the time usually has a deficiency in that area. Howie he likes to talk about his sexual prowess; for Eric, it's his integrity. Both probably aren't 10% as great as they make themselves out to be.

The vote ended up being split down party lines, and Eric went home with a 5-4 vote. YES! His exit was fairly bitter. Although it was just a game, and he was cool with everybody all week, he didn't look anybody in the eye unless they voted for him. He gave hugs all around, and told people not to cry in his ear and tell him it's raining. Just kidding of course, but that would have been hilarious. There was no talk of karma boomerangs, and Eric left for his exit interview.

One of the things that always bothered me about Eric was that he always wore a stupid hat. Call me old fashioned, but I sort of like it when everybody gets dressed up for evictions, or at least puts on a skirt. Eric did neither, apparently unable to find any khakis in all of Las Vegas. And just as classy, he kept his backwards hat on for the interview. I thought Marvin looked stupid with the dog collar last year, but Eric may be just as dumb.
