August 30 - Day 57

Julie Chen opened the live show talking about Jamie's choice last week in picking the Casting Director over her mother. She then showed the clip of Jamie talking to George about hosting the live show with Julie one day. Julie addressed the group about how they feel about six of them being up for banishment. They all said they are doing well. Julie then told Jamie that since she is the only one not marked, she gets a surprise.... Julie offered her the opportunity to host the show with her tonight. Her responsibilities would be to interview one of the house guests, introduce a video, and announce the banished house guest. Jamie was given 10 seconds to think about the offer. Of course Jamie agreed to do it, and was asked to go into the Red Room and open the envelope holding the banished guest's name. Jamie immediately left the living room, opened the envelope and looked shocked by the name she read. Julie reminded her that it is important to demonstrate poise and to not give away the name at this time.

Jamie joined the others in the living room, and chose George to be the guest to interview for 1 minute. She asked him how he feels about being marked, and he went on and on about it being okay. Jamie interrupted him, asking about the infomercials he has been doing, and how his products will be available to the public shortly. Right away, George said "shortly?" thinking possibly he is the guest to be banished. Jamie quickly covered herself saying "some time in the next 30 days". Julie interviewed Jamie's friends and mother regarding the choice made last week to spend 2 minutes with the Casting Director. Most said they couldn't believe she didn't pick her mom. A Seattle radio station did a phone in poll regarding the choice, and the responses were mixed.

Julie told the public about a campaign that had been held in Rockford, Illinois by George's wife Theresa. A bar had been turned into a phone in call center and everyone was phoning to vote out Brit. Corporate sponsors were supporting the campaign and paying for the cost of phoning in. Theresa said they chose Brit to vote out because she is George's biggest competition. Julie then interviewed Brit's mother who was very surpised George's family would target Brit. She said it was okay to set up a campaign, but they shouldn't be targetting one person. Julie then interviewed Dr. Pinsky who said that George has become desperate to stay this past week, and has shown poor judgement. He said his actions were goofy and unsettling. He also said that the campaign is not good, as they are going after someone George has become very close too.

Julie then interviewed the AOL Spokeswoman, who said that 100,000 posts have been posted on the board this past week, and George and Brit have the most votes. She said that traffic was very heavy when the plane flew overhead, and when Jamie chose the Casting Director. Jamie, as co-host, introduced the video segment of Chiquita, the only guest who will not be banished. Clips of the dog were then played. Finally, Julie told Jamie she must now announce the guest to be banished. Jamie composed herself, stood tall and announced to the guests that the person to be banished from the house this week is Brittany. Brit looked stunned, and didn't move for a second. She then stood and hugged each one of them, with Josh giving her an extra long hug. He looked like he was going to cry. They walked her to the door, and she hugged them all again, with Josh kissing her on the face twice. Brit grabbed her bags and headed out the door, but this time, the guests had to stay inside...I guess they're no longer allowed out on the steps.

The house guests were shown in the yard, with Eddie comforting Jamie and George comforting Josh. Josh sat alone with his head down and told George he thought Brit would be the last one left. He said he hates this. Brit's mother met her at the gate and immediately told her about George's family's campaign to vote her out of the house. Brit joined Julie in the studio, with a huge round of applause, and people wearing green and blue wigs. Brit told her she felt really weird that all these people are there cheering her on and she's just a nobody. Julie asked her if she was surprised to be banished after last week's popularity vote. Brit said no, because if you are well liked, you can be equally disliked. Julie showed her clips of her time in the house, while Brit laughed and said she feels like a "dork". Brit was then shown clips of her on and off relationship with Josh, and the confrontations, and snuggling. Brit hid her face and said she is "so pathetic". Brit explained to Julie that life in the house is not like real life. That every little thing is magnified in the house, and you don't have work, family, hobbies to keep you entertained, so you focus your feelings on all the little things in the house. A kiss with Josh would have exploded into something too big, and Brit was not ready for that. She said she has true feelings for Josh, and believes he likes her too. She said they will be friends after the show, but she would put her friendship with Jamie before Josh, because "guys come and go".

Julie showed Brit a cartoon that had been created of her on the Internet. She then asked her about her virginity and said she is the most famous virgin now. Brit explained why she was so open about that side of her and that it is just a part of her. She said she started the lovebed because it was very lonely and empty in the house for her, and she needed the affection to get close to peole and open up more. She said she won't go back to pharmaceutical sales, but would like to get into entertainment. When asked who she believes will win the money, she had no idea. Brit was given a final opportunity to say goodbye to the guests, and did so live. All of them looked sad and uncomfortable as the show ended. BB will not be on TV Thursday night.
