August 24 - Day 51

The show began with Josh and Cassandra dancing together in the living room. Cass held up a sign that said "happy birthday Mom" and sent her Mom a message. Julie Chen addressed the guys concerns over dancing together for the challenge. She then acknowledged that Jamie had won Tuesday's daily challenge, who knows the housemates the best, and it was time to receive her prize. Julie told Jamie that two people are waiting for her in the Red Room - a Hollywood Casting Director who has been nominated for an Emmy Award, and Jamie's Mom. Jamie was advised she can only choose one person to speak to. After some debating back and forth, Jamie chose Anthony, the Casting Director. She was then given 2 minutes only to speak with Anthony. Jamie immediately went into the Red Room and hugged Anthony. Anthony asked her a series of questions like does she like comedy or drama, does she have any experience, is she ready to move to California and take classes, who is her favorite actor, etc. Jamie answered all the questions, telling him she admires Merryl Streep, and has had experience in Baywatch and being Miss Washington. She told him she is ready to do this. His advice to her was to move to Hollywood, sign up for some classes and get committed. Their conversation was cut off when the 2 minutes expired.

Jamie joined the others and told them what had happened. Julie advised the audience that the halfway point of the guests' stay in the house has passed, and how the nomination process causes tension for the house guests. Clips were then shown of previous nominations, including how Jordan reacted the first time she was nominated, the first time the house guests were told how many nominations they had each received, Eddie's speech to all of them regarding not asking who nominated them, and their refusal to watch the live Red Room nominations. Julie said that the house guests have become concerned, angry and almost paranoid about the nominations.

The Fig Garden Village was aired, with family and friends of Josh gathered for a party in his honor. Friends, Aunt Susie and Josh's step-father were all interviewed one by one, all routing for Josh. Julie interviewed Dr. Drew Pinsky, who felt that trust has really been an issue for the house guests, and letting them know how many nominations they each received adds to that issue. He believes some are getting paranoid, noting George wagging his finger at the cameras. Dr. Pinsky also said that he believes Jamie has come clean about her reason for being in the house (to become famous) and the guilt she will feel for passing up her mother to meet with the Casting Director is something she will have to deal with.

During this time, each house guest was shown giving their two nominations for banishment to BB in the Red Room. After each viewing, the house guests were updated on how many nominations they had each received. BB then went to Winnebago, Illinois to George's old high school, where past high school friends and teachers wished George the best in the BB house. Julie then brought up Brittany's hair styling techniques and we were treated to clips of Brit's different hair colors (green, pink, blonde) and the different wigs she has worn while in the house. Also shown was Brit's styling and dying of Josh, Curtis and George's hair.

Regina Lewis from America Online was interviewed by Julie, and said that Brit's hairstyles are always a topic of conversation online. A survey was conducted on AOL during the past week, asking the public to identify their favorite house guest. The guests were then advised of this poll, and each were told the results. Brit was the most liked, receiving 33% of the votes. Next came George with 17% of the votes, followed by Cassandra with 12%. A three way tie between Eddie, Jamie and Josh came next each receiving 10%, and Curtis came in last with 8%. Everyone congratulated Brit, and Jamie pointed out their earlier conversation that day, and that the news could not have come at a better time for Brit.

An LA restaurant was shown, where the waiters/waitresses dressed and acted like the BB house guests. It was very funny. The house guests were then advised that the TV had been assembled in the living room for them all to watch a video. Julie advised them that they will not be forced to watch, and George almost stood up, thinking it was the live nominations. Julie quickly notified them that it is actually Eddie's massage and the identity of the masseuse will be revealed. All of the house guests watched the massage, including Eddie's profanity and name-calling, then saw that the masseuse was Will (Mega). They all thought it was pretty funny, and Eddie said that he will indeed still smack Will around the next time they come face to face.

The final house guest (Brit) was then shown giving her two nominations, and the house guests were advised of the results. They were: George (3); Josh (2); Cass (2); Curtis (2); Brit (2); Eddie (2); Jamie (1). Since there was a 5 way tie for second place, the 5 plus George are all nominated for banishment next Wednesday, and all will need to pack their bags for the next live show. George reacted very positively towards the news, even though these were his first votes ever, and Jamie complained that she also should be up for banishment. They told her she shouldn't complain. George said he's happy and glad to be in the boat with the rest of them. The show ended with the guests playing with Chiquita, and Jamie talking about how she thinks the show is very big since AOL has their own site on it.

To nominate 1 of the 6 house guests for banishment, call 1(900) 740-1000 U.S. or 1(900) 870-9846 (Canada).
