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!

After recap, Julie mentions that once again Austwins can't make up their minds. Now it's into Vanessa controlling who goes home every week. Vanessa is crying to the Austwins because Johnny Mac told her everyone wants her out. Liz approached Johnny Mac about him going to Vanessa about the five-person deal. Now they're all upset with him. He thinks they have a deal with James and Meg and he didn't feel safe. 

JM figures if he can get Vanessa to keep him, he'll be safe. Vanessa tells us she will only vote the way the twins vote (they want to keep Steve). Vanessa gets cornered by Steve. He's intimidated and tells us his brain freezes. She's "hurt."

The rounds keep going. Now Liz is talking with Johnny Mac. She wants him not to go after them. Johnny Mac thinks he has a chance. Yet, they don't know if they can trust him.

Next up is a segment on James.

His friends at the bar hangout at home. He pranks his friends, too. They talk about how much James loves his cat, Gizmo ... even goes fishing with him.

Onto the live vote time ...
Johnny Mac - We're biggest dorks here, always Rock Stars. Steve knows a lot of BB things, I know gas management.
Steve - Thanks people. Cool experiences, gave Meg an awkward kiss, improved social skills, lifelong experience to remember.

The votes to evict:
Meg - Johnny Mac
James - John
Vanessa - Johnny Mac
Julia - John
Liz - Johnny Mac

It's unanimous -- Johnny Mac is gone. After the eviction, it's two battles in one as the jury members and house hamsters vie.

Jury segment ... Shelli and Jackie hanging out. Becky arrives. Oh noes, they think! Her toe is all bandaged. They see the replay of Meg slamming her head in OTEV and Liz winning the veto, then Becky's eviction. 

All four are now on stage with Julie (JM is the fourth). They all go back in the house. Julie tells them that all four are back and one will return to the game. Hugs all around. @@ 

Head to the yard. Two epic competitions in one. HoH is up for grabs. Austin can't play. "Dizzyland" - holding onto a cable/rope - that have to hit giant hands as they hang on the cables and go around in a circle. It's kind of like the swing in a circle kiddie amusement ride. The hands are huge and padded and swing them around. The last juror standing (hanging on) stays in; all are eligible to win HoH.

Double eviction next week. 

Steve, Meg and Julia out already befor the show ends.
