Big Brother 24 — NOW THAT’S WHAT BIG BROTHER SHOULD BE ABOUT!

(SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT WATCHED THE LATEST EVICTION EPISODE OF BIG BROTHER)

Tonight, after all the houseguests voted, Julie announced, “By a vote of 7-4, Ameerah …. you are evited from the Big Brother House.”

Ameerah was stunned.  Terrence, who thought he was going home was stunned.  Daniel, Jasmine, Nicole, Alyssa, and Ivy were stunned.  The members of the Leftovers pretended to be stunned.

And me?  Well, I was cheering.

Seriously, this was the first eviction episode in a long time that truly felt like Big Brother for me.  The vote was not unanimous.  The arrogant people who thought they were running the House were stunned.  The Leftovers pulled off a true blindside and how long has it been since we saw one of those?  In one night, the balance of power has shifted in the house.  This is what we watch Big Brother for!

Now, I know that Ameerah told Julie that she had a feeling that she might be voted out.  Ameerah was lying.  At no point, up until the vote was announced, was Ameerah worried.  She didn’t even bother to pack all of her bags before the eviction.  Before the feeds went down for tonight’s show, Ameerah asked Terrence to root for her once he was out of the House.  Ameerah was totally caught off guard.

There was one unexpected vote.  Daniel voted to evict Ameerah, despite not being a part of the Leftovers or even knowing that a blindside was being planned.  He decided to do that two days ago because he didn’t want Terrence to be voted out unanimously.  It was a sympathy vote but now, there’s a good chance that Jasmine, Alyssa, and Indy will no longer trust either him or, because their so close, Nicole.  Will they be smart enough to figure out that the Leftovers exist?  Probably not.  As Nicole made clear in her goodbye message to Ameerah, she still thinks this game is Guys vs Girls.

Because his “festie betsie” was voted out, Terrence had to pick a new set of besties to join.  He selected Joseph and Monte.  What his means is that if either one of those three are nominated, the other two will be on the block as well.  If either one of those three wins HoH, the other two will be safe as well.  Joseph and Monte will have to be careful to keep Terrence from finding out about the Leftovers because there’s no way Terrence would keep that a secret.

The HoH comp is taking place right now.  The feeds are down so I have no idea who is winning but I’ll post the name when they come back!
