Episode 8

[Big Brother]

Episode 8: "I'm up shit's creek without a paddle."

Last week, house outsider Lori surprised everyone by winning Head of Household. However, she quickly made a mess of things by putting a potential ally of hers, Jessica, up on the block as a pawn. She then tried to execute a backdoor plan, but was struck down when the intended target, Imogen, won the PoV and kept the nominations the same. Now, the secret duo of Billi and Imogen controlled the votes, and had to choose between blindsiding the pawn, Jessica, or evicting Lori's arch enemy, JJ.

Bianca: Big Brother house, this is Bianca. Jessica, and JJ... The votes have been counted and verified, and I can now reveal... that by a vote of 2 to 1... The seventh person to be evicted from the BBCurve house is... Jessica! Jessica, it's now time to say your goodbyes. I'm coming to get you!

~JJ Bird~
After a tough last round I came out of it with more knowledge and the right determination to want to go all the way in this game. I struggled really being able to understand the actions of some our resident housemates. I'm baffled as to why Lori didn't put Imogen up but I am almost certain that she had a plan of backdooring Imogen. Which in her defence is commendable, why would you not want to eliminate the biggest threat.

But with Lori, what you usually get is one hope of insight jumbled with nine completely out of the loop suggestions. She then tried to campaign hard to get me out of the game. Fair dos, out of me and Jessica, I was a clear threat. She described me as a 'power player', I've not won a single competition, what power do I have? Do you see what I mean about Lori now?

Imogen was stoked that she had been able to effectively thwart Lori's plans, and keep both of her closest allies, Billi and JJ, in the house another week.

~Imogen Thomas~
Yay! InvisiJess is gone! Lori is going to be pissed! JJ is going to be stoked! I'm so glad Billi pulled through and helped me keep JJ. I wonder what Dan's reaction is going to be...

Imogen was curious about Dan's reaction for a reason. Despite receiving warning from JJ that Lori had no control over the house, and that Jessica was going to be evicted, Dan had cast his vote to evict JJ, and was now in a sticky situation. However, he planned to use the current circumstances to test exactly how close the bond between Billi and JJ was.

~Dan Gheesling~
So now we find out of JJ and Billi are aligned 100%.

See if JJ belives that I kept him or not and it'll expose the truth of what is going on. It might be time to start winning a competitions, but I dunno if I know how to win after 7 weeks of not doing shit in them.

It doesn't take long for JJ to approach Dan and question his decision.

JJ: I just wanted to ask you why you voted to evict me?
Dan: I kept you.
JJ: Come on dude, we both know you didn't. I just want some reasoning behind it.
Dan: I did keep you.
JJ: I don't understand why you're lying. I gave you an opportunity to discuss things out and still you're not willing to admit it.
Dan: If you wanna believe that then go ahead. Jessica voted me out last round and you didn't. So what reason do I have to vote you out and on top of that, lie?
JJ: Well, you tell me. What reason did you have to evict me?
Dan: I didn't.
JJ: Right ... okay well I don't believe you. We don't need to say anything more on the topic.
Dan: Okay.

~Dan Gheesling~
So that proves Billi and JJ are def together or are having sex to the point that there is no lying about a vote.

Basically meaning I need to win veto or get them to vote out Lori since "I suck at competitions." I'm going to fail HOH miserably. -_____-

~JJ Bird~
Dan literally is a walking retard. I messaged him constantly to a point of actually bothering him, about him giving me a chance to stay in the game. All throughout he would keep as minimal as possible with chats (and yes, that is minimal ON TOP of the little he already chats) as you can imagine it was quite a struggle. I then said to him to ignore what Lori is saying and that the house wants to keep me. I told him she's digging herself a grave and wanting to take him down with her. Did he listen? Of course not, because in order for that to occur, he needs to have a smart cell in his brain, which evidence of the game seems to suggest he has little of.

And I survived. Thanks to a little help from my friends. Yes that was a pun on the popular song. Imogen and Billi helped keep me, and logically for the right reasons. I'm trustworthy, admirable and very social. Jessica was lacklustre in all respects by the end of her stint. She's a very funny person and when social, very chilled to speak to but in the end she lacked the real urge, for lack of a better word, to want to stay.

Now, it comes down to the Final 5, and one I have to admit I was not expecting. Bring on another HOH, lets hope I have more luck with this one, every week is a new surprise so I'm ready.

Bianca announced that the HoH Competition is called Days of Our Lives, and will require the housemates to remember the days on which certain events in the house occurred. While the housemates are preparing to start the competition in the backyard, Lori jumps up from the sidelines and begins yelling.

Lori: DAN PLEASE WIN HOH!!!!!!!! Prediction: Imogen wins HoH with almost perfect or perfect score. (99%/100%) I called Ms. Cleo, that's what she said.
Imogen: If you're implying that I'm thorough and organized, why thank you very much. If you're implying that I'll do well through less-than-honest means, you can fuck right off.
Lori: I meant you're a beast in comps... interesting you'd talk about anything other than that.

After being ignored for a few minutes, Lori pipes up again.

Lori: I am giving 4,000,000 - 1 odds that Imogen lost HoH. You bet a dollar to win 4 mill. If you think Imogen did win HoH, the bet is to win 1 dollar you must bet 4 million. The girl is good, I guarantee my SOUL she wins HoH. I bet my SOUL, LIFE and EVERYTHING I OWN IN THIS WORLD....I SWEAR ON MY DEAD GRANDFATHER'S GRAVE AND ON EVERY ONE IN THIS SOLAR SYSTEM'S GRAVE....I SWEAR 10000000000000000% ..Imogen WINS HoH WITH perfect or almost perfect time. Imogen = beast at comps!!
Imogen: Jealousy gets you nowhere.

~Imogen Thomas~
Ugh, I am so over Lori. Let's just not talk about her ever again, shall we?

Lori then approached JJ to talk one on one.

Lori: If you win HoH, what are you going to go?
JJ: Almost definitely put you up.
Lori: Almost definitely? You are going to put me up, just like I would put you up.
JJ: Precisely ... there's no love loss there ... and I don't think there's anything wrong with admitting it either.
Lori: I admit it. I won't try to fake it. But we both know you're not winning HoH this week. I can bet my life on it.
JJ: What makes you so sure? I love that every week you have a new wave of psychic powers.
Lori: I'm 100% positive you don't win...trust me, I'm not psychic but Miss Cleo is. I called in and it said you don't win. Trust me. Nothing against you, but you won't win.
JJ: What is Miss Cleo?
Lori: That Jamaican psychic lady.

~JJ Bird~
Mrs Cleo eat your heart out. We have a new psychic in town, Mrs Lori Valenti.

That witch is more deranged as the days go on. All this predictions bullshit is just infuriating. I don't know what she's trying to do or what she achieves by all of this but it seriously puts a bad light on her. She doesn't even remember what she's said, she contradicts herself so much. Any more chats with her and I might just lose my mind, which at this stage I'm shocked it hasn't already happened.

The HoH competition begins, and becomes a close race between Billi, Imogen and JJ. JJ, who had never won anything all season long, was hopeful that his luck would change.

~JJ Bird~
HOH went quite well. I did my research and obviously being a confessional whore, I managed to get some chronological order out of it. The questions were hard though, I don't feel 100% confident. I think Imogen should calm down now, she needs to bear in mind that if she wins this HOH she cannot compete for next week's. And let's face it, next week will be more important to her. I'd like to win HOH at least ONCE damn it. Plus I don't want Dan to win, because then, we're fucked, but more importantly I'll be the only remaining housemate never to win ANYTHING. And that just isn't happening.

But it turns out that Miss Cleo and Lori were right after all, as it's Imogen that claims victory and becomes the new HoH for the third time in the season.

~JJ Bird~
I can't say that I was too thrilled to again not have won HOH! But if anyone was going to win it I prefer it to be Imogen. Whom at this stage is a machine and if she doesn't win either HOH or POV in the coming rounds then she can likely say goodbye to the game.

JJ was quick to join Imogen in her HoH room and tell her about his discussion with Dan from prior to the competition.

JJ: I spoke to Dan yesterday, called him out on his vote to evict me. He hesitated and then FLAT OUT denied evicting me, I made him feel bad and he said as little as possible ... quite pathetic that he resorted to lying.
Imogen: OMG how obvious can he be? You can do math. There were three votes and you know how Billi and I each voted.
JJ: He didn't expect me to say anything and just froze. He is such a loser.
Imogen: Oh, I know. You don't even have to convince me.

~JJ Bird~
Does Dan honestly think I'm going to fall for this? Seriously? When I spoke to him pre veto last round he was as minimal as possible and not giving me direct answers. Throughout the week I asked to talk to him so we can discuss things. I later approached him again DIRECTLY asking him whether he's keeping me or not. He, did not directly say anything other than, 'We'll speak later'. He ONLY replied once eviction results were revealed.

Now he thinks I'm going to fall for this, he has another thing coming. I'm not a bully, so I was never going to bully him. I gave him a platform to be honest and speak things out but he didn't take it. Now he will understand that he is the most pre-pubescent housemate of all.

Unwilling to give up all hope, Lori took Imogen aside before the nomination ceremony and tried to plead her case.

Lori: I suppose a deal is out?
Imogen: Yeah, sorry. Once bitten, twice shy.
Lori: I know, I'm a bitch.
Imogen: I do have to say, you've been a crazy good adversary for me in this game. You've kept me on my toes.
Lori: Yeah, but look at this. Next week you can't compete. If JJ doesn't win...
Imogen: What does JJ have to do with anything? He's a friend, but who's to say he'd keep me safe at final four?
Lori: The same person who told me you'd win HoH with an almost perfect score; Ms. Cleo. You'd be safe.
Imogen: Out of the people left, who would be the final two combination that would make you barf in your mouth the most?
Lori: JJ and you.
Imogen: Haha, fair enough.
Lori: But it'd suck so bad cause I'd campaign for JJ to win. Just being honest.
Imogen: Fair enough, he's played a good game.
Lori: Wait, forget about everything for a second. Keep me this week.
Imogen: Because?
Lori: My back is to the wall, I have no chance at anything at this point. You, Billi and JJ are together. All I have is Dan.
Imogen: There is definitely not a threeway alliance between me, Billi and JJ.
Lori: If I win HoH next week, I won't nominate you. Obviously you won't believe me, but it's final four next week. I can assure you I won't put you up.
Imogen: Right, well to be honest my pre-veto nominations don't mean anything this week. My replacement nominee will be the key.
Lori: Agreed 100%. What I'm saying is if you win veto, use it on me.
Imogen: I'm not ruling that out. You have a strange place in my heart.
Lori: Here's the thing. You don't like me and I don't like you. BUT I don't hate you and I'd like to think you don't hate me.
Imogen: Most of the time we hate each other, but secretly we respect each other's gameplay.
Lori: You just hit it on the nail.

~Imogen Thomas~
So, I just had a talk with Lori. She seems to have accepted her fate and she's being surprisingly rational about everything...which means she's probably about to go extra crazy. Get ready! But, she's scrappy and working to stay in again. A small part of me actually admires her for her tenacity? Especially compared to deadweight like Dan! This is probably one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had with Lori.

At the nomination ceremony, Imogen makes a relatively easy decision. With Billi and JJ as close allies, only two choices remain.

Imogen: I have nominated Lori and Dan for eviction. Lori, we had an agreement that if I put Dino up when I was last HOH, you'd keep me safe last round. Done and done. Except that you were plotting to have me backdoored last round had I not won veto. If you're going to plot and scheme like that against me to multiple players in the house, at least wait until *after* the veto results are posted and I've lost so that your mouth won't get you into trouble again when your plans are foiled. I tried to trust you again after all that craziness went down and you couldn't just sit tight and work things properly. Instead, you got paranoid again and overcompensated. Dan, you're hardly ever around....still. We saved you a few rounds ago and you think you'd take that as a clue to step up your game, but you just decided to keep up your minimal level of commitment/communication and let everyone else play around you. That's so frustrating, buddy! At this point, I know you the least of the remaining players, so I have no choice but to put you up against Lori. Best of luck to you both and good luck to everyone at the veto competition.

~JJ Bird~
So Lori and Dan are nominated and I can't say that I'm not absolutely LOVING that decision. ;D Dan has to be one of the most painful housemates in the whole series. So I'm glad he's finally been put in his place especially after he flat out lied to me.

We'll see how this week pans out, I really want to win POV so I can secure my place into next round. If Billi wins again and tries to do his 'shake things up' routine then it would mean danger for me... and I'm not looking forward to that.

Once the group breaks up after the ceremony, Imogen talks privately to Dan in an attempt to smooth over their relationship despite having nominated him for the second time.

Imogen: Hey, Dan. Sorry about all this. I had to nominate people and go on whatever reasons I had at the time.
Dan: Yeah, it's fine.
Imogen: If it makes you feel better, Lori is clearly my target this round.
Dan: I hope so!
Imogen: As long as she doesn't win veto, she's gone. And she knows, I'm pretty sure. Anyway, I wanted to give you the respect you deserve to at least talk with you about it now instead of hiding like a little bitch like I could have.
Dan: Yeah, I appreciate it. Hopefully noms stay the same.
Imogen: Yeah, I'm gonna try to win and keep them the same. Lori has been weaseling her way in any angle she can think of. She needs to go already, and then I'll be the only girl in the final four.
Dan: Hot.

~Imogen Thomas~
Just had a quick chat with Dan to try and cover my ass for nominating him. I'm hoping that he'll remember conversations like this where I was "real" and "honest" with him when he's on the jury. Why else would I be talking to someone so frustratingly useless if not to woo him for his jury vote? O:)

The PoV Competition is called Sacrificial Pig. In each round, Otev the hungry wolf reads a poem about some of the evicted housemates. The housemates must then race around the yard to find a pig with the correct housemates' name painted on it. The last housemate to bring Otev the correct pig is eliminated. After four rounds, Imogen officially sweeps the week by winning the Power of Veto.

~JJ Bird~
I came a not too distant second in POV. Which was a welcome relief. At least I know I don't suck THAT bad and that it's just Imogen, whom at this stage is a MACHINE! and needs to be tamed sooner rather than later. She's going to end up BULLDOZING over her F2 competitor and if that is me, I'm going to have a thrashing by the jury members. Ooo what fun!

~Billi Bhatti~
This week has really been kind of a whirlwind, I came in close 2nd in HOH and dead last in the POV and made myself look like a chump. Honestly though I knew I didn't have anything at all to worry about with Imogen in control, as long as Lori is in the game I will never be anyone's number one target.

Regardless, it does look like Lori is probably going to go this week, and with Imogen unable to compete in the HOH next week, it's going to come down to me, Dan or JJ, which honestly I really like my odds against those two doofuses but there really is alot of pressure to step up and win this shit. For the first time since the week Kaysar left, my ass is squarely on the line if I don't win, so I'm gonna have to step up and do what I do best, kick some ass.

It did seem like a foregone conclusion that Imogen would keep her nominations the same, but the nominees were not willing to give up, and approached her on separate occasions to plead their cases.

Lori: Now what about this option..what if I were to win HoH..I understand HoH doesn't mean much this week but at the same time, I win HoH YOU are off the block...that leaves Billi/JJ up. Now at this point you have a 50/50 shot of staying safe..1. If I win I will keep noms same...2. If you win you are in. Now here's another thing..I could very well lose HoH next week and lets say Billi wins. He would probably put you and JJ up because once again, you two are the power couple, the whole house knows. So now what this means is you and JJ are on the block....now were it Dan left, YOU and YOU alone need to win POV to save yourself. With me off the block it gives you THREE OUTS, 1, if you win pov you are safe..TWO if I win POV I keep noms the same of course and vote out JJ. THREE, if Billi wins POV no way that he takes one of you off for me, why cause a third enemy all in one week. He would leave them the same in which case MY vote will be the deciding vote, and BELIEVE YOU ME, I prefer you win this game over JJ.....the only way JJ gets my vote is if someone actually brings him to final 2, that's being totally honest. We made GREAT adversary and will no doubt be highlights of the show. I say we keep letting it go on for 2 more weeks. What craziness would it be if Lori and Imogen went to the end, EPIC.

Once Lori leaves the HoH room, her presence is quickly replaced by Dan's.

Dan: This is what I think is going to happen if noms stay the same. Billi and JJ vote me out, Billi is a snake and will make deals with whoever to stay safe. He had a deal with me/Lori and then flipped and joined You and JJ? Or who the hell even knows because he makes deals with everyone. JJ got pissed because I told him I voted out Jessica and denied it when he told me I was lying. The only reason I lied to him was to see how he reacted, he got all pissed and said he KNEW I was lying. Right there it showed me that he had a deal with Billi because why would I vote JJ out after Jessica was the sole to evict me the round before right? So JJ/Billi are obviously close as fuck if he's going to come at me like that so early and call me out just based on his trust/relationship on believing Billi voted to keep him. So those two are pissed at me and I think will vote me out to keep Lori vs you going at it. So I think your best move is to veto me and put up Billi.

But at the veto ceremony, Imogen decides to play it safe.

Imogen: After reflecting on my initial nominations, I have decided that they were the right ones for me to make. As such, I choose not to use the veto. Best of luck to both of the nominees.

~JJ Bird~
So Imogen made her decision and kept the nominations the same. Which I wasn't too shocked about as that was likely going to be the case regardless.

With that being said there is a fair bit to think about here. Lori is a lunatic, she's impulsive, annoying, loud mouthed and has awful opinions on homosexuality. But does that mean she deserves to go compared to a worthless, boring, bumsuck and easily forgettable Dan?

While JJ contemplates his vote, Billi wastes no time in casting his.

~Billi Bhatti~
I think no matter what I do this week Lori is going to go, but I know I'm going to need her vote WHEN I make it to the final two, so I'm gonna have to vote to keep her around just for the ass-kissing portion of the game.

I vote to evict Dan the man who lives in a garbage can.

~Lori Valenti~
Billi has said he will try to work Imogen, I don't know how well that's going to go over, I think Imogen is purposely trying to avoid me. Screw that. We'll see what happens.

Knowing that she had Billi's vote to stay, Lori was determined to find a second vote wherever she could. Her first stop was Imogen's HoH room.

Lori: You leaving me on the block is absolutely fine.... I understand you dont wanna piss anyone else off.. But here's the thing, you can still save me....if the votes are 1-1 then you get tiebreaker....also, you can persuade JJ to give me a vote so that it can go 1-1. Like I said, whatever you want is on the table....and if you get me through this week I SWEAR you will have my vote if you make f2. YOU KNOW I won't make final 2 unless you take me there because everyone is gunning for me. Next week if Dan or Billi win HoH YOU KNOW there target will be you. I am here for a buffer, you have one extra person playing for you. It's up to you what you wanna do. Let me know what I can offer or if you're just over everything.

~Lori Valenti~
Well I am up shit's creek without a paddle.

I am on the block and failed to win POV miserably. At this point I am throwing up anything and hoping for the best.

Billi has guaranteed his vote so I am looking at a 1-1 possibility.

Imogen would break the tie, I've told her that I would gladly do whatever she needs next round....

~Imogen Thomas~
As tempting as Lori's offers for future safety may be, my best game plan going forward has to be a me/JJ/Billi F3 since there's a good chance they'd both take me to F2 if I didnt win F3 HOH. Please don't let me be the Janelle this season!

With Imogen failing to give her a satisfactory response, Lori turned her focus to JJ.

Lori: So do you know how you are voting?
JJ: I'm 70/30... 70 in favor of evicting you.
Lori: That's fair.
JJ: I'd be lying if I said it wasn't personal.
Lori: The only thing I can tell you though is this....it's no one's secret that you and Imogen are working together. Imogen can't play next week.
JJ: Right.
Lori: Billi and Dan will have no choice but to team up, so it's two versus two.
JJ: Thank you for your wisdom, Lori.
Lori: Are you being sarcastic?
JJ: No, I was being sincere.
Lori: Oh, it's hard to tell.
JJ: Of course.
Lori: What I'm saying is instead of it being two versus two next week I can make it three versus one.

~JJ Bird~
Lori is a psycho and has offered me some odd deal if I keep her around. She will also almost always target Imogen, which means safety for me for another round.

When you talk about F4 competitors and you line up all the housemates of this season Dan will almost NEVER come in the top eight let alone anything else. Lori, whilst is an annoying witch, has proven to be far more entertaining then Danny Boi.

JJ was soon engaged in another thought provoking conversation, this time with Billi over the subject of Imogen's dominance in the game.

JJ: Unfortunately at this stage... Imogen is the favourite to win .. which means she'll probably BULL DOZE over us all.
Billi: Yeah, I don't think anyone is going to be able to compete with Imogen.
JJ: Not at all... she'll walk it.
Billi: Well the next HoH will be down to three, and Imogen can't compete.
JJ: Precisely... if we can secure HOH and POV we could be comfortably looking at all boy final three.
Billi: That'd be pretty fucking sweet.
JJ: Otherwise we might aswell lie down and let Imogen win.
Billi: Right man, I completely hear you. We've come too far to just stand aside.
JJ: Precisely... and the best positon would be me and you final two. So what do you say, let's work together and make this count?
Billi: Hey dude, I'm down if you are. Let's tear this shit up.

~JJ Bird~
I had a genuine chat with Billi about possibly getting rid of Imogen next round. It's something I've been thinking about for a while. For a number of reasons obviously but the main one would be that she would literally destroy me in the final. She has had an immense game, has jumped over more hurdles then anyone else and has NEVER been nominated. She has been a force when messed with and has proven to be the person behind most of the major players evictions.

It's exactly those reasons that I just cannot go to the final with her. I know I've jumped the gun discussing this with Billi, who could easily be closer to her and could be working with her too. But, if he knows what's real he'll keep me in the game and do as we planned. He's smart, he knows exactly what way is the right way, and I hope he trusts me. Our aim is to get one of us to have HOH and then try our HARDEST to get POV. All the while letting Imogen think she is safe and hopefully backdooring her. I love her and I have a ton of respect for her but I don't want to be known as someone who road coat tails ... not right the way through. I will regret it if I don't at least TRY to get her out. Even if it means backfiring and me leaving earlier than planned. I'm ready for it.

But the discussion was not as genuine as JJ had hoped for.

Billi: Your boy JJ sounds like he's ready to cut your throat next week. Don't tell him I told you though.
Imogen: Yeah, I figured he would sooner rather than later.

~Imogen Thomas~
Indeed. Well well well, it'll be interesting to see how this week pans out. Me or Billi winning POV this week is going to be crucial, though wouldn't it be just brilliant if my challenge whoring failed me on the single most important challenge of the whole game? If that's how it's going to go down, I'll have to take my leave gracefully. But until then, I am going to fight like hell. My only absolutely awful scenario will be if Dan somehow becomes the lone deciding vote at the F4 - which would almost have to happen by him winning the veto. Could that really happen? Could keeping Dan - the challenge non-entity and AWOL "player" - really be my undoing? It better not be! If I am nominated and Billi or JJ become the lone vote, I really do think they'll each keep me over the other one. I just need to reaffirm my F2 deal and game-long loyalty to JJ (which I think he will honor, in his part, by voting against Lori this round) and remind Dan that I've saved him twice now and kept my promises to him. If I can guilt them enough into keeping me, I just might be able to lock this thing up.

Unfortunately for Lori, the recent shuffling in allegiances did nothing to prevent JJ from voting to evict her.

~JJ Bird~
I vote to evict …

Lori

As far as I’m concerned Lori just isn’t to be trusted. I think she makes her deals, lies, bitches, annoys and then walks out feeling great about herself. This is a vote to evict her and to bring her down a peg or two. NOT by any means a vote to KEEP Dan. I hate that guy just as much and he is worthless in this game at this stage. Lori has been a great addition but she has killed Makosi and Dino in respects and has survived far too long when she should have gone ages ago.

Whether talking out of arse is her gameplay or not I don’t know. But she has been annoying throughout her stay in this game and I think its been a long time coming. I wish I wasn’t sleepy otherwise I could write an absolute essay on her antics.

~Lori Valenti~
WELL EVICTIONS WILL BE UP SOON...I JUST WANT AMERICA TO KNOW I TOOK A DUMP IN JJ'S CLOTHES AND I PISSED IN HIS JUICE AND I SPIT IN HIS BED.....

FUCK YEAH, LORI THE BITCH!!!

Bianca: Big Brother house, this is Bianca. Dan, and Lori... the votes have been counted and verified, and I can now reveal that... we have a tie! Imogen, as current HoH, it is your responsibility to break it.

~Imogen Thomas~
So, the vote was a 1-1 tie and I have to be the deciding vote. How did I know this would happen? That crafty Billi - I know he's been working on the sly with Lori, but voting to keep her was a great way to earn her jury vote since he knew I'd vote her out anyway.

Imogen: Lori, you and I have had our ups and downs, but lately we've been able to talk openly and honestly. You have a lot of fight and I'll be the first to admit how impressed I am at your scrappiness and tenacity. You never gave up, even after that crazy week where you went super crazy. You'd be a great villain to take to the end. After I announced my nominations this round, I promised Dan that he would be safe I'd I had any say. Lori, you are too resilient and surprisingly powerful. You turn situations where you are the bad guy into potential power plays. That makes you a potential dark horse to win the whole thing. Dan, hopefully you can forgive me...for using you as the pawn nominee again this round. I'm sorry Lori, but you're too dangerous to keep around. I have to evict you.
Bianca: It's official, Lori, you are the eighth person to be evicted from the BBCurve house! It's now time to say your goodbyes. I'm coming to get you!
Lori: Haha the challenge beast said I am too dangerous...nice.....anyways......Jury house here I come...CAN'T WAIT! I HAVE ONE LAST THING TO SAY TO ALL OF YOU........AND I MEAN THIS! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL AND ENJOY FINAL FOUR!! THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT CAST...YOU TOO JJ!

With that, Lori left the Big Brother Curve house. While the adventure may have come to an end for one of the season's most memorable characters, it was still far from over for the four remaining housemates.
