Tonight was the first eviction and the appointing of the new HOH. If you haven’t seen the show, step away now!

The show had a lot of recapping, and basically Lydia thanking Russell for taking her off the block. Braden realized Lydia had backstabbed her. Jeff also felt this was a stab at him, since he couldn’t go on the block.

Laura and Jordan talked with Braden as to who did this. He thinks Russell has been starting rumors, then passing it on to others, aka the gossip girls in the house.

Jordan was sitting around crying, and Lydia took it as an insult. She thought they were friends, why is she crying now and not when she was nominated?

Braden found out from Russell that Lydia claimed Braden would target him/the athletes. He was fuming mad. Braden confronted her about it, and she denied it. BRaden started calling her a skank and a bitch. Kevin stepped in, and Braden said some racist slurs that were bleeped. Lydia told him to kiss her Latin ass and walked off. Kevin was furious as well. (I recapped some of this in an earlier post).

Lydia started yelling at Jordan for not talking to her yesterday when she went up and for not crying for her. Jordan said she hasn’t done anything to her. Lydia said Braden attacked her and Jeff didn’t defend her at all. Jordan said talk to Jeff, not her. Jordan wouldn’t take it and said she has talked to her everyday, she has not back stabbed her, she has done nothing to her. Lydia wouldn’t talk to her when she was yelling and couldn’t talk. Jordan said she was crying because Braden was on her team. Kevin chimed in saying he couldn’t be cool with her if she condoned Braden’s words.

Jeff showed up and got caught up in the conversation, with Lydia attacking him for not defending her when Braden called her a skank a bitch and a slut. Jeff flipped on her, saying she would have stayed over Chima, yet she sold her soul to the devil and this was her doing.

Laura and Jordan realized they had to get the Athletes out as they were running the house. Laura went to Ronnie, they told him they had to get Chima out as she’s in with the Athletes. Ronnie thought he could get Michelle in on this.

The time for the vote came. As usual Julie asked various questions. Braden made a little speech about how they’ve all had a good time this first week, yada yada. Chima stood up and said if you vote for Braden then you vote for a bigot and a misogynist, and you’d be going home next. The vote then began after their speeches as to why they should be kept.

Russel, Natalie, Kevin, Lydia and Ronnie all voted to evict Braden.
Jeff, Jordan, Laura, Michelle and Casey all voted to evict Chima.

This left it a tie, which meant Jessie was the tie breaker. He sent Braden home. Braden watched his goodbye messages. Both Lydia and Kevin were pretty harsh in their messages.

The next HOH comp began, which was one of the trivia games. It was a comp where they used polls given to America and they had to pick what the majority voted for, with the winner being able to eliminate someone.

RONNIE won HOH. Holy hell will there be some drama this coming week!
