Whenever there is a new set of people on the block, we have to have a little bit of face time from the folks back home, and we first get Howie's parents. You really feel for what these people went through, and they are really proud of their son. Then we got a little look at Rachel's parents, and I was literally left speechless, mainly because laughing and talking at the same time doesn't work out so well. And it's not like they were that funny in what they said, but they had this classical music in the background, just in case you couldn't tell that there was a difference in personality between the two families. I though they would have some cat eating some fancy feast in the background, or a friendly British chap dropping off a jar of Taster's Choice.

They interviewed various people, including Howie's friend Mike, who is a ventriloquist, or should be, considering his lips never move when he talks. But then it went back to Rachel's parents, and I noticed that her father Bob never looked at the camera, he just stared off to the left like he was waiting for the ice cream truck to come down the street. And it wasn't just for a few seconds, it was the entire interview. And then we got Howie's sister Ashley. The best way I can describe Ashley is that if Rachel's Dad Bob and Janelle had a love child, it would be Ashley. Everybody was happy for their family members and very proud, even Howie's parents after hearing him berate April and talk about boobies for two months.

With the eviction happening soon, it was time to check in on the houseguests and what they're saying in the diary room. April is up first, and she talks about how immature Howie is. He is actually the most immature 34 year-old she has ever met. When she was his age, back in 1950, she wasn't talking about boobies and humping legs and acting like a hurricane. She notes that Rachel is 33 years old and acts her age. Why the fixation on people acting their age? A little insecure perhaps?

As Janelle was talking about how her alliance might crumble if Rachel is out of the house (uh, this just in - your alliance has been crumbling for weeks), and Ivette says Howie had issues, I became really distracted by that background in the diary room. Remember when you were taking your school pictures each year and they gave you the options of what backgrounds to pick? Remember the boring blue one, and then the one where they charged like $10 extra dollars but had those colored lasers in the background that matched your shirt? The diary room is totally taking me back to that time. I never got the lasers, but at least my parents didn't make me wear a tie.

Soon enough, it was time to find out who was going to be evicted, and it was going to be another live vote. YES! Like always, the nominees were given a chance to make a final plea. Rachel didn't say very much, but Howie went on and on and on, and Julie had to start with her interrupt laugh to cut him off, because Howie wouldn't stop. As he was giving his speech, he seemed to pause every five seconds to kiss Rachel, maybe because he knew he was never going to sleep under the same roof as her ever again.

Howie ended soon enough, and it came to the vote. Maggie went first, and I am not sure what is supposed to be flattering for her, but what she was wearing this evening was not flattering. Maggie is not obese, but she does need a little help in a few areas, and a great place to start would have been to do something about her sagging boobs. While she was sitting on the couch, she broke both titty rules. Rule 1 being your stomach shouldn't extend farther than your boobs, and Rule 2 being your boobs should never be able to rest on your stomach while you are sitting down. And if that wasn't appetizing enough, we were treated to her playing with her wedgie after she got up. Sesame chicken was not a good choice.

Maggie votes, and Julie is really in top form with the color commentary. Notice the subtlety with how she switches modes from host Julie to analyst Julie. It is quite a spectacle to behold. As Maggie went to sit down and Janelle got up, something strange happened. She got up and said "Sorry guys" and then "Sorry America" and then headed to the door giggling like she knew there would be trouble, but was going to love the trouble anyway. It was like watching that episode of Three's Company where Jack and Janet have an argument in the kitchen or the bedroom or by the couch, and Mr. Furley knocks on the door so Chrissy has to go and distract him somehow, but she can't control the ways her arms are flailing in the air. Oh right, that was every episode.

Janelle gave her vote, and after saying she wanted to evict Rachel, we got a little peek-a-boo shot. First Julie shows us the hot box, now Janelle. SUMMER OF SECRETS. As Janelle comes back and April goes up to vote, we hear Janelle says "Well, everybody knows I'm wearing white!". I guess she must have really given the people on the other couch a show. She was probably laughing because she was wondering what would have happened if she forgot to wear any underwear, like usual.
