Hamster watchers ready?

Last week Julie wore jeans. This week she's back to a dress. And ... we're in recap mode. 

Jessica hopes her decision not to use the veto won't come back and bite her in the butt. Paul tells us that he won't be letting Mark and Elena in on the save Josh plan. Josh plays up his sad game. He dances around when he's alone in a room.

Paul thinks that Mark and Elena are too chummy with Jess and Cody.  Cody tells us he's only pretending to work with Mark -- he doesn't trust him and Mark so quickly backstabbed him last week. Mark throws shade towards Raven and Matt to Paul. Now he distrusts him more. Paul goes to Raven and Matt with that information.

Cody tells Ramses he has a dream of Josh leaving to boos from the audience. Now, he didn't get boos when he played such a non-social game when he went. I doubt Josh will get boos. I also doubt Josh will walk out the door tonight, but that's another matter. 

After Jessic tells him it was her best week, Kevin asks about the Temptation, whether she won it or not. She said she won it and it was better than Paul's one -- her and Cody can't go anywhere for a while. He feels bad for her and tells her of the Ramses going home plan. She's livid. Cody and Jessica go around trying to get the votes to keep Ramses. Cody seems to alienate rather than convince. Jason thinks he's threatening him. Perhaps Cody should read the old book 'How to Win Friends and Influence People.' He has worse people skills than my cat.

Finally, to the living room for the live vote.
Ramses - Super fun, doesn't want it to end, can help a lot of people here. Please.
Josh - All for the family and housemates, except two meatballs, will go to war if I stay.

The votes to evict:
Cody - Josh
Jason - Ramses
Alex - Ramses
Mark - Josh
Elena - Josh
Kevin - Ramses
Matt - Ramses
Raven - Ramses
Christmas - Ramses
Paul - Ramses

As planned, 7-3, Ramses will go home tonight. Into commercial.Cody and Jessica look disgusted. Elena's jaw drops past her drooping chest. Josh acts like he didn't know and is all grateful.

Talking to Julie, Ramses says he knew he was leaving. 

Apparently, although Jessica hasn't used the Halting Hex, the consequence will be announced anyway. Hmm. 

Last night they studied photos of the three evicted hamsters on the Memory Wall. It will be a memory comp for HoH. It's fake magazine covers with tattoos.

Time for the comp. Inked and Evicted comp. They get true or false questions about the photos.

First question has Elena out.
Second question Mark, Alex, Cody, Josh and Kevin out.
Third question: All right
Fourth question: All right
Fifth question: Christmas and Jason out
Sixth question: Matt and Jessica out.

Paul wins HoH! 

Jessica lies to Julie about the Temptation and says it will keep her and Cody safe for the next few weeks.

Julie tells us that there's going to be a Temptation Comp each week. The winner will be safe, loser will go on the block as a third nominee.
