Big Brother 6, July 23: Paranoia Will Destroy Ya

Previously on Big Brother 6, losing with a 9-1 vote, Michael is the second houseguest to be evicted from the Big Brother house. Kaysar just lost his friend, buddy, and partner. This especially concerns him because he's starting to think everyone has a partner. This will leave him at a disadvantage.

Ivette says that when Michael got up to leave, she kept her happy butt on the sofa, refusing to get up. Eric chose to walk away, because Michael never even apologized to him. Janelle is really sad to see him go. Michael didn't ask her to avenge his loss, but she will at one point. She plans to go after Jennifer and Ivette.

It's day 19 in the Big Brother house. The houseguests are walking into the kitchen, past the memory wall, when Michael's picture turns gray. The houseguests watch as his picture fades. Janelle cringes, "Ewww, that's horrible!" Sarah is thrilled that Michael left the house. She is completely relieved. A huge weight has been taken off all their shoulders.

Janelle sits on the patio with April telling her of her sadness. Janelle doesn't know what she's going to do with herself now that Michael is gone. She always hung out with him and before Michael she had Ashlea. Now she has no one. April tells her how she has always liked her! Janelle asks, in total disbelief, "You have?" April explains that she just didn't like Michael. Janelle isn't buying this BS for a minute. She knows April has spread malicious rumors in this house about her! She thinks April is trying to cover her tracks because she knows she's busted! On top of that, she's not a very good liar.

A replay is shown of Kaysar winning Head of Household. Eric says as soon as Kaysar won, everyone had a deer-in-the-headlights look. He couldn't believe Kaysar won. Eric says, "I'll tell you what, this is a game now!" Janelle would have liked to have done three cartwheels in a row, and danced around when Kaysar got HOH. Sadly, she couldn't as she was wearing stiletto heels. (Even I would have found that amusing!) April thinks five or six people will be worried about being nominated. On the other hand, Rachel is really excited about Kaysar's win! She thinks removing a strong player is exactly what the house needs! Loud mouth Ivette says Allah was looking over Kaysar, and gave him the HOH.

Howie, calling Kaysar's win the first miracle of the season, joins Kaysar and Janelle in the gold room. Kaysar closes the door, and Janelle jumps up and hugs him. Kaysar assures them it is going to be good from here on out. Pointing at Michael's picture, Kaysar smiles and says, "Hey Mikey, I did it for you!" Kaysar isn't going to focus on vengeance because there is still a game to be played.

Meanwhile Beau and Ivette are speculating about the nominations, with April looking on. Beau says you never know what's going to happen. It could be someone that they'd least expect! He wonders if they are over-thinking what Kaysar will do. Ivette knows it won't be Janelle going on the block. Beau doesn't think Kaysar and Janelle are close. He never sees them talk. Ivette reminds Beau that she is the only person Kaysar has fought with. Kaysar is the last person Ivette wanted to see as Head of Household.

Back in the gold room, Janelle laughs about Ivette's nervousness. Janelle says getting rid of Ivette would be more of a personal decision because, "we all hate her." Actually she would feel safer in the house if one of the stronger players, like James or Eric, were gone. It is the nicest feeling she has had in the Big Brother house. The power has switched over, and it belongs to Kaysar.

Ivette is lying on the couch looking like she just came down with a stomach flu, with Maggie sitting beside her. Ivette is sure her time is up. She doesn't think Eric will be put on the block because of the promise Kaysar made to him. Ivette says, "What's sad is that the dumb girls always get to stay... like Janelle." (Ivette, are you the pot calling the kettle black perhaps?) Maggie says it's a wild card and she doesn't think anyone knows what will happen. Maggie's really not worried about being nominated. She thinks Kaysar has bigger fish to fry.

In the patchwork room, April tells Beau that she is sure that she and Jennifer will be put up for eviction. Beau disagrees, he thinks they are the least of Kaysar's worries.

While Janelle, Howie, and Kaysar continue to strategize, James pops into the gold room to get some peanuts. Everyone's pleasant and they banter a bit. Kaysar says he was thinking that maybe the people up for eviction should get the gold room to sleep in. James laughs and says that was his foreshadowing. Now we see James in the diary room saying how when entered the gold room, the occupants there almost crapped themselves. "They told me I could stay but I knew it would be a bunch of BS so I left."

James then runs to the kitchen to tell Eric how Howie latched the door on the gold room when he walked out. Eric points out that Howie has been with Kaysar, Michael and Janelle every night for the last few nights, and no one has even noticed it. Now that Kaysar has Head of Household, Howie's all of a sudden crossing over to the dark side? "Give me a break," says Eric, "Howie's been hanging out with everyone since day one!" (Eric just scored a point from me for that!)

Back in the gold room, Kaysar whispers that Ivette and Beau both know that he wants their asses on a platter, as do Jennifer and April. Howie reminds him to not play with emotions but with "strategics." Howie is no longer clowning, he is serious! Game time is on! Janelle says that all the girls love Maggie, and that James is also getting in good with people. Howie doesn't think Kaysar should give a damn who he steps on. If it weren't for him having HOH, Kaysar would sitting on the block. Howie is adamant about getting James out. Kaysar says that Janelle and Howie are the only people that are safe in the house. No one else should feel safe.
