Update: Final Statements to the jury. Jordan is good but rambles too much and goes on too long. Natalie does a halfway decent job of making it seem she stuck to her alliances, but does she convince anyone? She also admits she didn’t win much, but just hooked onto stronger players. They vote and make statements, without revealing who they voted for. Sounds like Russell votes for Natalie. Lydia for sure for Jordan. Jeff of course for Jordan. Michelle for Jordan. Jesse, I think Jordan. Kevin says he voted strategically. Julie Chen casts America’s vote which will be for Jordan.

Guests evicted earlier come out and tell how Kevin and Natalie lied about everything. Jordan is shocked. Natalie is laughing. The jury members looks surprised, are any reconsidering their votes either way?

Update: Jordan wins final HOH! What a suspenseful competition. She’s going to decide between either Kevin and Natalie. She’s better off taking Natalie, but does she know it?

Update: She knows it. She took Natalie. In his exit interview, Kevin says he’s not angry and thinks the most important factor in picking the final winner is who played the best game strategically. Sounds like he’ll vote for Natalie, and not out of anger at Jordan.

Will America’s vote as the 7th juror decide this? If so, Jordan wins. Jeff and Michelle will vote for Jordan. I think Lydia will too. Jesse might as well. I think Russell could go either way. Let’s see how they answer the jury’s questions.

Jordan does great on the questions. She explains her “lay low” strategy and focuses on the compettions she won late in the game. Natalie has them rolling their eyes at her answers. Even the audience is laughing at her. Vote coming up. I won’t be surprised if it’s unanimous for Jordan. And if it’s close, America will put her over the top. Natalie is toast.

****

Kevin says he’ll take Jordan. Jordan tells Kevin she’ll take him, but in the Diary Room, says she’ll take Natalie because Kevin has won too many competitions and will get more votes in the jury house.

Kevin and Natalie are fighting. She’s telling him she’ll vote for Jordan in the jury house if he wins HOH and picks Jordan. She tells him he has a better chance going against her in the jury house because there’s no way Michelle or Lydia will vote for her. Two weeks ago, when Jeff got to the jury house, Jesse and Russell said they wouldn’t vote for Natalie. Did they mean it? Michelle arrived at the jury house last week. Russell was upset, he wanted her to win the whole thing. She recounts the Pandora’s Box incident where Natalie’s boyfriend proposed. No one cares. Lydia announces Natalie lied about being 18, she’s really 24. As a result, Michelle tells the camera, Natalie’s reputation has suffered in the jury house. Jesse says he would have voted for Michelle over Natalie.

The evicted players in the jury room are now debating who needs to win. Russell doesn’t think Jordan was a strong player. Jeff does a good job defending her. Jesse downplays Natalie’s skill. Jeff tears into Natalie. Lydia is all about Kevin. Seems like everyone would prefer Kevin and Jordan over Natalie.

Final HOH competition coming up.

Jordan wiped out Natalie in tonight’s second HOH competition. She got 9 of the season’s HOH in the correct order, Natalie only got 5. No one got evicted tonight. Instead, there will be a live, third HOH competition on Tuesday night (finale night) between Kevin and Jordan. The winner will decide which of the other two goes with him/her to the final two. The jury will then vote between them. America will be the 7th juror.

Voting is now open. You can vote for free here (as oppose to texting which costs a dollar.) You can vote for the winner in all three scenarios: Kevin/Jordan, Kevin/Natalie, Jordan/Natalie.

I’m voting for Jordan — and in the Kevin/Natalie scenario, for Kevin.

Jeff got to the jury house and everyone had turned on Natalie.

They want Kevin to win (except Jeff , who will vote for Jordan, as will Michelle when she gets there.) Natalie seems to be toast. I think Kevin will dump her if he wins the third competition and choose to compete against Jordan. Jordan, I think, will take Kevin. Neither of them know the jury house folks have turned on Natalie. And Natalie can only get into the final two if Kevin or Jordan wins the next competition and takes her.

Natalie will work both Kevin and Jordan hard between now and Tuesday. But I think she’s lost her leverage. Kevin played a better game all season long than Jordan, but she’s more likable and can really use the money. I hope she wins.

HOH Natalie nominates her ally Kevin and Michelle for eviction. But she’s ineligible to compete for the Power of Veto because she chose to open Pandora’s Box instead. That leaves only the Power of Veto winner able to vote and control who gets evicted. If Kevin doesn’t win, it’s adios to him.

Natalie says she wants to take Jordan to the final two. If that happens, and America gets to vote, Jordan will win. Michelle and Jordan have teamed up.

Here’s the recap of last night’s live feed.

Unless Kevin wins the POV, I think the final three will be Natalie, Michelle and Jordan. And the final two will be Michelle and Jordan. If Kevin wins POV, I think Michelle will go home and the final three will be Kevin, Natalie and Jordan.

Michelle seems like an obvious choice since Natalie views her as a big threat because she’s smart. But Natalie is also concerned about those in the jury house. She will try to eliminate whoever she thinks is most likely to get more jury house votes than she will. But, she also has to worry about Jeff and Jordon voting as a block if they both end up in the jury house. They’d vote for Michelle over Natalie, but perhaps Natalie over Kevin.

And, there may be another wrinkle. There will be a repeat of Pandora’s Box this week, only this time Julie Chen says it is almost certain to impact the outcome.

One last thing: Natalie doesn’t know it yet, but when Russell arrived at the jury house, he told Lydia and Jesse that Natalie is really 24, not 18 as she told them. They were shocked and Lydia feels Natalie was deceitful. That may cost her their jury votes.

I’d say right now, if Michelle makes it to the final two, she’s in a really good position. She’d get Russell’s vote and Jeff’s — and Jordan’sshould she end up there.

My hunch is that Michelle is in the final two. Why? Because they sent a camera crew to her home during one of last week’s shows to interview her husband. This late in the game, I don’t see them doing that unless she is going further.

So, who will the final three be? Either :

• Natalie, Michelle and Jordan or
• Natalie, Michelle and Kevin or
• Natalie, Jordan and Kevin.

Update: Here’s the scoop according to Jokers Update which follows and transcribes much of the live feeds:

Chima broke numerous BB rules: racist comments, non-compliance with production and destruction of BB property, for starters. Spoiler Alert: After Jeff won the coup d’etat power and Jesse who was voted out, Michelle became the new HoH and put Chima and Natalie up for eviction, at which point Chima freaked out & became the evil houseguest. She refused to wear her microphone (“I’m not mike-ing up” a la Cindy Anthony, lol) and threw her whole mike-pack into the hot tub (a big BB no-no to mess with your mike, supposedly $4000 to replace!). And she kept cussing out the BB production team, screaming & yelling and flipping off the cameras. She’d also made numerous racial slurs about Russell, said he was an “extremist Muslim terrorist,” that “Russ is a terrorist and I am the Twin Towers” and that Americans hate Middle-Easterners so he’ll never win. Russell happens to be Catholic and Lebanese (Danny Thomas was Lebanese & I was very young when his show was on but I don’t recall him being a terrorist, lol). Chima had also stolen Russell’s rosary, which was later found in her belongings after she was expelled by exec producer Allison Grodner, who had to go over to the BB house at 2am because of Chima’s behavior. Apparently Grodner still tried to keep Chima in the house but Chima kept screaming at Grodner, and that was the end for Chima.

Earlier post with CBS’s Statement below:

CBS has issued an official statement confirming it booted Chima from the show:

“Chima has been evicted by the producers from the Big Brother house for violating the rules. She will not be part of the show’s jury. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show.”

Also, Michelle’s HOH apparently has ended early and a new one will be picked today.

Earlier Post:

On a non-eviction day, Chima has left the Big Brother household. Some report she was asked to leave, others report she quit. Spoilers are here.

Either way, it was time. Her screaming and arrogance were becoming a drag on the show.
