After being nominated for eviction by Head of Household James Rhine (BB6), Jase Wirey (BB5) was evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS House by a unanimous vote of 9-0 by his fellow Houseguests (the two nominees do not vote and the Head of Household only votes in the event of a tie). On Tuesday, "Chicken" George (BB1) won the Power of Veto and took himself off the chopping block. Dr. Will Kirby (BB2) was left up for eviction and James nominated Jase to join the doctor.

During last night's live broadcast, Jase Wirey, the 30-year-old Safety Director originally from Taylorville, Ill. and currently residing in Decatur, Ill., learned his fate, said his good-byes and left the House. After leaving BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, Jase was interviewed by Julie Chen about his experience, as well as on "The Early Show" on Friday morning.

The Houseguests compete each Thursday to become Head of Household. The perks of the position include having a luxurious private bedroom and bathroom, as well as a plasma screen spy cam to monitor other Houseguests' activities. However, it also includes the responsibility of having to nominate two fellow Housemates for eviction. On the weeks when there are veto challenges, one of the nominees can be saved from the chopping block if they or another Housemate wins the Power of Veto competition and chooses to save one of the nominees, while giving themselves immunity from nomination. If they choose to use the veto power, the Head of Household must immediately choose another nominee.

After last night's eviction, the houseguests competed in a competition called "The Writing's On the Wall" to see who would become the next Head of Household. Janelle Pierzina, the 26-year-old VIP Cocktail Waitress originally from Grand Rapids, Minn. and currently residing in Miami Beach, Fla. won the coveted position.

For more information about the aftermath of Jase's eviction from BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, log on to www.CBS.com and watch him live on "Housecalls: The Big Brother Talk Show" on Friday (1:00 PM, ET/10:00 AM, PT).

BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS follows the relationships and conflicts of players who live together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest will receive the grand prize of $500,000. While living together in a confined space won't be anything new to the Houseguests, choosing between any pre-existing relationships and building new alliances could be a challenge.

BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS is broadcast each week on Tuesdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), Thursdays (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) and Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The Thursday broadcast, hosted by Julie Chen, will feature the live eviction of one of the houseguests.
