Live Eviction

Conducted & Aired: Episode 4, Day 13, Thursday July 15

Houseguests' voting order: Monet, Andrew, Lane, Kathy, Kristen, Brendon, Ragan, Enzo, Matt, Britney.

All houseguests voted to evict Annie

Evicted:

- After the HOH competition, Julie tells the audience that America can influence the game by sending in sabotage suggestions and that every episode the Saboteur will choose one to execute.  Essentially, the Saboteur is a modified take on the America's Player concept that was part of past seasons of Big Brother.

- The Saboteur strikes on Day 1!  The HGs are all gathered in the living room when all of a sudden the lights go out!  Before they do, they are sitting as follows: on the cream couch are Rachel, Hayden, and Enzo.  On the grey couch are Ragan, Britney, and Matt.  Sitting on the floor in front of the grey couch between Ragan and Britney is Kristen, and sitting on the floor in front of both couches is Annie.  In the nominee chairs are Lane and Brendon.  Andrew, Monet, and Kathy are not seen. 

However, when the lights come back on, several HGs are in different positions.  The cream couch now has Kathy and Ragan in addition to Rachel, Hayden, and Enzo.  The grey couch now has Brendon, and Kristen is now seated on the couch rather than in front of it.  Matt has moved into the nominee chair that Brendon was previously sitting in.  Monet is now next to Annie on the floor in front of the two couches, and Andrew is laying down behind the cream couch after having played some pranks such as slamming bedroom doors and throwing pillows.  Brendon also was away from the group during the blackout as he said he thought that when the lights went out that it was time to go to bed so he got up to get his toothbrush and toothpaste. 

Via the video screen in disguised form and voice, the Saboteur tells the HGs that he or she has struck and that the storage room pantry has been locked and that they must eat slop.  This event made the house suspicious of both Andrew and Brendon of being the Saboteur.

- A Showmance is born!  In the yard, Brendon, Rachel, and Annie are talking on the hammock, and Brendon tells them that he has a Master's degree in Applied Physics and that he's starting his PhD in Biomedical Physics at UCLA in the fall after Big Brother is over.  Brendon is also a member of the American Association of Physicists and Medicine.  This immediately causes a chemical reaction in Rachel, who has a Chemistry degree from Western Carolina University (we're so stupid that we didn't even know there was a Western Carolina!).  And, so, the first Big Brother showmance of the season is born.  However, this was noticed by Hayden, which, in addition to everyone suspecting Brendon as the Saboteur, prompted his nomination decision.

- An Alliance is born!  Enzo decides to start a "mafia," and approaches Hayden about forming an alliance with Matt and Lane.  In true Jersey Shore fashion, Enzo creates nicknames for everyone and so Hayden becomes "The Animal," Lane is "The Beast," Matt is "The Brains," and for reasons that make sense only to him, Enzo dubs himself "The Meow-Meow."  The alliance itself is called "The Brigade."  

- Secrets are revealed!  Annie calls Ragan into the Cabana room, and tells him that she has a girlfriend back home whom she's been dating for a year and a half.  For his part, Ragan feel flattered and honored that she shared this part of herself with him.

- The Big Brother Saboteur strikes again!  It's Day 4 (Tuesday, July 6), and on the memory wall, "X" marks in green tape are placed over the pictures of Kathy and Britney sending both ladies into a paranoid spiral because they fear that this will influence Hayden's decision as to whom to put up for eviction.  When Britney speaks to Hayden in the HOH room later, she tells Hayden that she would put up Brendon and Kathy as nominees.

On another occasion, the Saboteur returns with another video message that not everyone in the house was a stranger to each other before entering the house and that two of the houseguests are lifelong friends.  However, some in the house are considering the possiblity that the Saboteur was lying.  Enzo feels that the Saboteur's "whole style is caca."

- Who is the Saboteur?  In the HOH room, we see Enzo, Matt, Hayden, Kathy, and Monet discuss who they think the Saboteur is.  Beyond rehashing the Brendon and Andrew thing, Kathy, who is a Deputy Sheriff, analyzes the situation "with the criminal stuff," and posits that the Saboteur will turn out to be a girl, and " a very likeable girl, and you're not gonna see it because everyone likes this person."  Enzo suspects Annie of being the Saboteur.

- Houseguests gone wild!  In the wake of Annie being put on the nomination block as a replacement for Brendon, she seems to become unhinged and starts verbally attacking Britney, whom Annie blames for spinning a web of lies that landed her on the block.

- Annie is the Saboteur!  Julie reveals that America voted Kathy as its guess for who the Saboteur was.  However, we later learn that it was Annie who was, in reality,  the Saboteur.  Via flashback, we see Annie get up in the dark during the blackout and padlock the door to the pantry and walking right by Brendon who was also up at the time.  On her way back to the couch area, she actually bumped into Brendon who was still feeling his way around the dark.  We also see her putting the X marks on Kathy and Britney's pictures on Day 4.  Finally, we see a new act of sabotage: Annie gets suggestions via Facebook from Big Brother viewers, and she picks one where she has to put electronic devices that emit noises to annoy the houseguests during the day and night.  Then, via a new video message, the Saboteur tells Hayden that he escaped the block this week, which immediately made people think it was Brendon again.  This shows how little collective brainpower there is in the house because if Brendon were the Saboteur, why would he leave a message that directly pointed to himself?

- Annie goes out with a bang!  At the live eviction, Annie gave the speech of all speeches – lasting a full minute – to save her hide and throw Rachel under the bus one last time by reminding everyone that she is in a showmance with Brendon who would take her through the game the way Jeff did with Jordan last year and that Brendon lied to everyone about his true occupation.

Once Annie is evicted, this had the consequence of also evicting the Saboteur on week 1, ending the summer's twist right off the bat.  Like a lot of past Big Brother twists, it was a fizzler rather than a sizzler.

On Julie's couch after she was evicted, Annie's fiery temper came out once again as a reaction to Rachel's goodbye video.  Rachel said she was happy that Annie was gone because Annie tried to come between her and "her man," Brendon.  Annie told everyone in the studio that Brendon had tried to flirt with her and when she declined, Brendon began his showmance with Rachel, so Rachel got her "sloppy seconds."
