As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Let's get this party started!

Heh. Julie opened the show mentioning that Audrey's behavior after not showing up for the PoV meeting trended on Twitter, then wonders if she'll show up for eviction. Onto the recap now. They're playing up the "will she make it to the live eviction" at the end of the recap.

As the veto meeting ends, they are all abuzz over Audrey's behavior. They show her going into the diary room wrapped in a fleece blanket, hoodie and sunglasses on. She lies atop the seat in there, all covered up. (From the live feeds, I know it was about five hours before she came out.) Austin thinks she's going to leave the game on her own.

She emerges from the DR. Julia thinks she saw a ghost. Audrey headed immediately back to Have Not room.

James brought her an omelet. (She shouldn't have it as a have not.) She eats.

Back to her "cloak" and Unibomber look, she headed into the DR again.

Aha! She's sitting in one of the nomination chairs when they finally show that. Into commercial.

Julie talks to the hamsters. Jason first, with Whackstreet Boys question. She lies to them and tells them they've taken the country by storm. The Backstreet Boys tweeted about/to them. Time for a live performance.

Julie mentions Audrey's courageous journey pre-show. Family time on how she's playing now. Her family is supportive of her gender change. Her mother notices that she jumped right into the games while the others took it more easy. The family wishes she would slow down, but feel she's completed a dream of being in the house. Alas, as they say, you can't win with a party of one.

Julie tells us that Audrey already has one penalty vote due to eating regular food as a Have Not.

Audrey: Tells us e-address, honor to be on platform, first transgender, be embraced on the first day, etc. Game perspective ... Merry Christmas.
John: Shout out to Whackstreet Boys, if you want to keep me, AWESOME. If not, cool.

The vote to evict:
Clay - Audrey
James - Audrey
Austin - Judas evicts John
Jason - Audrey
Vanessa - Audrey
Becky - Audrey
Jackie - Audrey
Steve - Audrey
Julia - Audrey
Meg - Audrey

Nine votes to evict, plus one penalty vote, Audrey is evicted. Is this real? Is this really real? -- she says.

She handles the interview well and even has a bit of a sense of humor.

HoH comp -- Hop Until You Drop. They have to identify which comp in rounds via a song. It's a buzzer thing.

Steve and Jason - Jason wins
Johnny Mac and Austin - Austin wins
Jackie and Becky - Jackie wins
Lizia and Vanessa - Vanessa wins
Jackie and Meg ... into commercial - Jackie wins
Austin and James - James wins
Vanessa and Clay - Vanessa wins
James and Jackie - Jackie is the first HoH!
Vanessa and Jason - Vanessa wins

Jackie and Vanessa are the two new HoH.

Britney Haynes will talk to Julie after the commercial.

Britney says it's an amazing season. She likes Jason. Likes Vanessa as a player. Who doesn't love Johnny Mac? She said the twins twist took a different direction than she thought. She thinks that Vanessa has a great chance to win, Shelli or Clay in final three with a floater.
