It's another Thursday installment of Big Brother and the anticipation for this episode was off the charts. After Diane made what some consider the dumbest mistake in the history of Big Brother USA letting Jase win the Veto competition and then compounded it by putting up Marvin, allowing for the slim chance the Horsemen could stay intact another week. If that wasn't enough for you, everybody was waiting to see how the houseguests were going to take the news of Natalie entering the house. With the new numbers, it was going to be essential for the Horsemen to win the Head of Household competition to remain a viable entity in the house.
Besides the anticipated surprises from the show, our host Julie Chen threw us a few surprises as well from her comfy spot inside the studio. Mixing it up a bit, Julie decided to leaver her right shoulder exposed this week, after baring her left shoulder last week. She sported slightly less camel toe, and her top had almost a mini train in the back, perhaps in anticipation of the rumored marriage between her and Les Moonves? In any event, Julie surprised us all by uttering something other than "But first!" when she got up from the couch. When the Chenbot is this unpredictable, you know the rest of the episode is going to be a treat.
We all knew the eviction ceremony was going to be a close one since CBS showed a majority of the contestants revealing their votes for the viewers. For me the eviction was a huge surprise, not because of who left, but because Scott hit his head before the ceremony and turned into an passably eloquent and thoughtful speaker with several good things to say to his housemates. Marvin also manages to go through his whole statement without saying "personal indictment". In the end, everybody showed Scott the door by a vote of 4-3. The Horsemen, of course, were in disbelief. You remember that only a few weeks ago, they had this game locked up, and then it bit them in the ass. How did Jase deal with his loss? By doing bicep curls of course! Ah Jase, you thought you were too smart for the game, but now you look as dumb as everybody else.
While everybody began to ponder what transpired before them, we were treated with the Scott meets Julie Chen segment. Scott was completely stunned and expressed his shock at all of the deceit inside the house, not that there was much sympathy for somebody who fabricated most of his existence in his house, starting with his fake birthday and going on to his fake job and fake birthday. In the goodbye message from the houseguests, several people mentioned how it was a very tough vote. Jase took a swipe at his friend, saying Scott is gone because Holly was gone, and he hopes he appreciated the consequences of his actions. Scott thought for a moment that Jase had voted him out, until Julie kindly re-assured him that was not the case. Scott invoked the bible as he was about to leave, saying that he believes his fellow contestants and everybody in America were left with a favorable impression, and that he was just playing a game. Well Scott, I hope you are sitting down when you start hitting the internet to find what people thought of you. So, what did Scott think of the twins? His expression nearly outdid Holly's. Finally, when asked how he felt about voting off Holly, Scott said it gave him a chance to "get closer to jase" and that was the most important, well, not if the folks at Mickey's have anything to say about it.
Julie must have loved this episode, because she got some extra work in during the time she revealed Natalie's existence to the rest of the house. She began by using some vague clues about how there was a twin playing as a pair who had switched in and out of the house. Right away, we saw how some people took the news differently. Cowboy kept on screaming that "It's Holly! I told you!" and Jase said "Scott has a twin." Adria did a great job during this segment, looking around and acting like she didn't know a thing. When Natalie walked out looking a lot like Adria, everybody cheered and started hugging Natalie. Apparently, when Julie was telling them she had been switching in and out of the house, they weren't listening, because they acted like they had never seen her. How does America tell them apart? As Natalie says "She's Bootyluscious and I'm Bootylicious". But hey, I told you that weeks ago.

GREAT TV!

From the new Big Brother promo: "Who loves Big Brother's Jase more than Jase? NO ONE!" Very amusing.
This was a great eviction episode. I agree with J-Unit. Scott suddenly became a mature, gracious, and humble person. I even felt slightly bad for him when for a millisecond he thought Jase had voted him out. "Jase... Jase voted me out?" Mommy??
By the way, why did Jase feel it necessary to not only sneak in a few reps after the eviction, but to put on sunglasses and take off his shirt? He's entirely too aware of his presence on TV, but bad news Jase, no one's exactly posting pinup calendars of you.
