Michele Was Evicted Last Night from the BIG BROTHER House After Kevin Used The Power of Veto and then Casted the Sole Vote  

Former Houseguests Janelle, Evel Dick, Danielle Reyes and Mike Boogie Join Julie In Studio on Thursday's LIVE Show at 8:00 PM

            After being nominated for eviction by Head-of-Household Natalie, Michele was evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER House by Kevin's sole vote.

           On Sunday, Natalie nominated Kevin and Michele for eviction.  Last night, Kevin won the Power-of-Veto and chose to remove himself from the block.  After Kevin used the Power-of-Veto, Jordan, the only eligible nominee, was put on the block against Michele.

            During last night's live broadcast, Michele, the 27-year-old neuroscientist from Pasadena, Calif. learned her fate and left the BIG BROTHER House.  She will be the fifth Houseguest to be sequestered in the jury house.  After her eviction, she was interviewed by Julie Chen about her experience.  

            After last night's BIG BROTHER eviction, the Houseguests competed in part one of the final Head-of-Household competition called "Log Jam."  The Houseguests each stood on a log while holding onto their keys, which were suspended above their heads. As the log began to spin beneath them, the players all fought to stay a top as they were barraged by weather from all seasons including wind, rain and even snow. The houseguest who could withstand the elements the longest without falling off will be revealed on Thursday and named the new HOH.

           Also on Thursday, former Houseguests Mike Boogie (Big Brother 2; Winner, Big Brother All-Stars), Danielle Reyes (Big Brother 3; Big Brother All-Stars), Janelle (Big Brother 6, Big Brother All-Stars) and Evel Dick (Winner, Big Brother 8) will join Julie live on stage to discuss this season of BIG BROTHER on Thursday, Sept. 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/delayed PT).
