September 27 - Day 86

Julie Chen opened the live show, asking the house guests if they are all packed, and ready to possibly move out tonight. She told them that all the votes are in and counted, however, there's been a change in plans. She explained that there will be two banishments tonight, and that a tribute to the first banished guest will be shown on the TV. All watched to see clips of Chiquita, first arriving at the house and her escapades while there. The house guests watched, and laughed at the video. Julie told them that Chiquita will be adopted by a new family tonight, and they now have two minutes to say goodbye to her. The four ran to the yard and Josh picked up Chiquita. They each said goodbye to her, told her they love her, and told her not to poop on anyone. Josh placed her outside the house door, and Chiquita was coaxed through the main BB house pet door to the outside world. She popped out to see her new family, a BB staff and his wife, waiting to take her home. She didn't want to leave and kept going back to the front door, where she sat and waited. Her new owners picked her up and carried her down the path to the awaiting fans.

Julie then gave us an update about George, showing George and Teresa in New York city, meeting fans and being photographed by People Magazine. George, with his dyed blonde hair, talked with fans in person and on cell phones, and told us that he doesn't understand why people are so interested in him, and that he is just a normal person. Julie then interviewed Dr. Drew Pinsky who talked about the key turning points in the BB experience. The key ones for him were Jordan being banished from the house, and the house guests discussing it after; and George's rebellion when he had the house guests convinced to do a group walk-out. Dr. Drew said that Curtis attending the Emmy Awards brought some reality back into the house, and made them realize it is just a game. He said that the BB experience has been very powerful and fascinating for him, and that the courageous participants have really taught us all about community and integrity. They have always chosen peace and set a good example.

Julie then gave an update on Brittany, showing her attending her first audition, where she read for a part with the show's producer. After, she said she "sucked", but the producer told us that he thought she was quite good. Julie then interviewed Regina Lewis, the AOL spokesperson, who said that there is a different feel on the Internet these days, and that people are routing for who should win the grand prize. A recent poll asking who has the best strategy resulted in Eddie with 53%, Josh 24%, Curtis 15% and Jamie 8%. Julie then showed clips of the highlights of the past three months, including Eddie's lecture to the house guests about discussion nominations, George's phone conversation with Teresa, Jamie picking the casting director over her mother, the group turning down the $50,000 to leave early, Brit's call to Josh, and the last six house guests being banished from the house.

Julie then went live to the house guests to inform them which one is banished from the house tonight. She told Eddie, Curtis and Josh that they are all staying and Jamie has to leave. She was not given a percentage of how many votes she received (estimated to be in the 70% range). Jamie hugged the three boys, and left the house quite quickly. She was greeted at the end of the path by her mother and her friend. She then hugged as many people as she could in the crowd that had gathered to greet her. The boys went to their regular spot in the backyard and heard people yelling their names over the wall, telling them to hang in there. They yelled back to their fans. Suddenly Eddie yelled to Curtis and Josh, "we f***ing won dudes!". They all seemed quite happy and excited. Josh ran in the house to pee, while Curtis and Eddie continued to converse with adoring fans on the other side of the wall. Jamie joined Julie in the studio, where again, she hugged everyone she saw, and jumped up and down clapping her hands together.


Julie asked Jamie how she felt, and Jamie responded that she has felt intense all day, has not eaten anything, and has had a feeling in her stomach that she would be the one to banish since yesterday. She said she didn't want to go but is happy for the boys. She said that fourth place sucks, but believes when God closes a door, he opens a window. When asked about the accent the house guests use so frequently, Jamie explained that when they were given the Tour de France challenge, they were told to speak in French accents. Julie said she didn't know the accents were supposed to be French. Julie then showed Jamie clips of the past 86 days in the house. After, Jamie explained that while in the house, you go through every emotion you can imagine. She said the last two weeks has been just her and the guys, and she has learned a lot. When Julie asked her why there were no romantic sparks in the house, Jamie explained that getting into a relationship in the house would have got in the way of the whole experience, but that a relationship could develop outside of the house. Julie then asked her about her concerns of how she was portrayed to the world, showing clips of Jamie talking to Curtis about "storylines" and being careful about what she said. Jamie explained that as Miss Washington, she felt that she is a role model for others, and that she didn't defend herself against the negative banner messages because you have to suck it up and deal with it.

Jamie then said her live goodbye to the boys, telling them the next two days will be wild and she congratulated them all. Julie asked Jamie who she believes will win the grand prize. Jamie answered that she hopes Eddie will win it, but is the closest to Curtis and Josh. During a commercial break, we were told to go to CBS.com to participate in future BB shows, or give comments about the past one. Julie then told the three boys that they have one more challenge to complete tonight. She asked Curtis to go to the Red Room, and once there, Curtis was given 30 seconds to say who he hopes to win the grand prize and why. Curtis responded that he hopes he wins the money but would be very glad to see the other two win it also. Next, Eddie responded that he hopes Josh wins the money because he's a good kid, and has his niece to put through school. Finally, Josh said that he hopes Eddie will win, because his family needs it the most, and that it's not just about them in the house but also extends to their families. After, the three discussed them leaving the Red Room, and Eddie told them that when Julie told him he could leave the room, he winked, and could hear the audience laughing. Josh said that when he was done, and Julie told him to leave the room, he said "alright babe". They all got quite a laugh out of that.-

The show ended giving us instructions on how to vote for the winner. Call 1(900)740-1000 (U.S.) and 1(900)870-9846 (Canada) and vote for the house guest you WANT to win. The finale of BB will be held this Friday, Sept.29.
