September 13 - Day 72

Julie Chen opened the live show, beginning with the house guests rebellion and supposed planned walk-out during tonight's show. An update on the rebellion and the changing of minds of most of the house guests were then viewed. Julie then went live to the house guests, asking George if he still plans to leave the BB house tonight. George said he is staying. When asked if he is disappointed that the house guests have decided to stay in the house, he responded "not at this point, no". Julie reminded them that last week, they had all turned down the offer of $50,000.00 to leave the house. She then asked Josh to go to the Red Room and bring out the suitcase placed on the chair. Josh did so and placed the suitcase in front of George as instructed by Julie. George then opened the suitcase to find a piece of paper, a pen, and a toy airplane. Julie explained that the airplane banners have become a part of their lives recently, and they now have an opportunity to create their own message banner, which will be flown in the sky later during the show. They were given two minutes to compose their banner.

Cuzzy's Bar in Minneapolis was shown, where Brit's family and friends were throwing a birthday party for Brit who turned 26 years old on September 9. Brit told CBS she is having the time of her life since leaving the house. Julie then reminded the viewers about Curtis' trip to the Emmy Awards on Sunday, and we were shown clips of the experience including the tuxedo, limo ride, champaign, the red carpet, TV stars and interviews. Curtis seemed to really enjoy himself. Dr. Drew Pinsky was interviewed and asked about the Emmy Awards prize. Dr. Drew stated that it seemed to refuel Curtis, and he now seems to have a more positive attitude about BB. He believes Curtis is emerging as the leader of the group but needs to assert himself more. Julie then asked Dr. Drew how he thinks George was able to convince the house guests to walk out. Dr. Drew explained that George has a lot of feelings in the house, and the group has really meshed together. One can affect all as was clearly shown on Saturday. The plane banners, now called "the sky" were discussed and Dr. Drew said he believes they create an element of anxiety for the house guests. They never know what to expect and it unsettles them. Their own banner may empower them tonight.

Jamie's family and friends were shown having a party in the Seattle Planet Hollywood, to show their support for her. The house guests were then shown cleaning the house and doing regular chores that need to be done. Julie told the house guests it was time for her to announce the banished house guest, and went on to say the votes were very close for Eddie and Cassandra. Eddie received 41% of the votes, however, Cassandra received 46%. Therefore, Cass was asked to say goodbye to everyone and leave the house. As always, they hugged each other and Cassandra walked down the path to find her mother and friend waiting for her. The crowd seemed quite large and very loud. The other house guests went to the backyard to hear the crowd. Josh speculated that there were a lot of poeple out there. All looked quite upset about losing Cassandra. George sat alone doubled over, and appeared to be crying. Josh hugged Jamie.

Cass entered the studio and was greeted by two friends who told her "you did us proud". Julie interviewed Cass, first asking her how she feels. Cass responded that she feels great to be there and thanked everyone for the warm welcome. She also said she is concerned about the house guests, and they have become so much like a family, she doesn't want them to be depressed. Julie asked her about her apparent isolation in the early days of the house, and the bonding during the last days. Cass explained that she was very cautious and conservative and did not participate in activities she was not comfortable with. Her role in the house was to be strong and even, and she believes someone else will step up to the plate now that she is gone, suggesting that that person may be Jamie. Cass told Julie that she went into the house for the experience and to be challenged and she feels that she learned a lot about herself during her stay in the house. Cass was then shown clips of her time in the house, include counselling the others, her hair issues, and not participating in the love-bed. Cass said it was hillarious. She said that she was always aware of the cameras and how she appeared on video. She does not regret saying no to the $50,000.00 last week, and said she left the house with her integrity and did not want to sell her soul for money.

Julie asked Cass whether she held back on her comments at times, showing the clip of Eddie talking about race not being an issue in America, and Jamie's conversation about white vs. black America. Cass responded that you have to pick and choose the times to say things in the house, and most of the time it is better to get into debates one on one, rather than in a group. She did not share everything about herself in the house, wanting to keep some things private. She expected to be banished tonight because of the clues that were received during the past week, namely the plane banner that told the guests to stay in the house except Cass. When asked how George persuaded them all to rebel and walk out on Wednesday, Cass explained that they were all frustrated with nominating people and the banishment process, and were all feeling emotional about that. George hit them at a good time and had compelling arguements for them to walk out. Cass was given the opportunity to say goodbye live to the guests, and she told them not to be sad. George told her to call Teresa, and Cass said she will talk to all of their families.

Julie announced that from now on, Saturday shows will be live one hour episodes, with nominations for banishment, and Wednesday shows will continue to be live one hour episodes announcing the banished house guest. The plane banner that the house guests had composed was flown over the house reading "Live long and prosper GAB" (GAB being George's initials). The five looked quite depressed and sad and Jamie left the guys to lay in the bedroom alone.
