:03 - Hi Julie! It's Day 21 and this week the house was rocked to the care as medical emergencies gave houseguests new prospectives on the game and on life. Fortunately, both have recuperated and are back in the house and back in the game. This week's HOH couple shook the house by going back on their word by nominating Matt & Natalie. Tonight, the journey will end for one of these couples.

:03 - Operation Condor seemed to be a done deal. It seemed certain that Alex/Amanda would be going but as we know the pendulum always swings back and forth.

:04 - Footage of Josh/Sharon not using the POV. Josh in DR says they thought it would be in their best interest to leave the two strong couples on the block. James says Operation Condor is in effect. Alex in DR doesn't want to campaign against Mattie. Matt in DR says he can't just lay down and let people vote him out and may the best man win.

:05 - In kitchen, Amanda comes out and tells everybody the doctors told her to eat 5 times a day. Amanda in DR explains she has hypoglycemia and says her blood sugar is still low and is trying to get her levels higher. Natalie comes in to kitchen and hugs Amanda. Natalie in DR says it's a day to just realize it's a game.

:06 - Raining in backyard with Matt/Adam. Matt asks Adam to guarantee he stays and Adam guarantees. Adam says they'll be final two. Matt says all he needs is two votes and he has him. They man hug.

:07 - Natalie/Matt in backyard lifting weights. Allison is watching them. Allison in DR says that it's hit her that they're strong and will be tough to beat and thought this is the perfect opportunity to get them out the door. Allison goes up to HOH to talk to James/Chelsia/Adam. Allison tells them that Matt/Natalie are stronger than Alex/Amanda and need to go. They need to think about it. Adam tells them he's voting for Mattie to stay. Adam in DR says he wants Mattie to stay because he wants Op Condor to be a success. James says he's going to put a hold on Operation Condor and bring up Operation Bro-Down. He's gung ho for that.

:08 - Allison in DR says she knows she can convince Ryan that it will be two votes versus one which means Matt/Natalie will be gone.

:08 - Natalie/Matt in storage room going over their votes. He tells Nat that she needs to talk to Josh/Sharon and ask for their votes. He tells her they need to do what they have to do to stay.

:09 - Natalie tells sharon in the bedroom that if they stay one more week and win HOH they won't put them up on the block. Josh comes in and Natalie tells him. Josh says he doesn't know. Josh says he loves her and tells her not to stress out about it. Natalie in DR says she feels she has a strong bond with Josh/Sharon. Josh makes a cut throat sign.

:10 - Allison/Ryan talking on hammock about the voting. Ryan thinks they're in a tough spot and wants to get Alex/Amanda out of the house.

:11 - Julie tells us the houseguests tonight will be voting live.

:11 - Adam/Sheila in DR. Adam thinks Matt/Natalie are their closest allies and they need them in the house. Commercial.

:15 - Julie welcomes us back. Check in with houseguests in living room. Julie tells Amanda and Allison that they gave everybody quite a scare and she's glad they're back. Julie asks Amanda since coming back if things have been any different. Amanda says yes and that she's gotten a lot closer with Allison. Julie asks Sheila about her and Allison being great friends and then the huge blow-up and how are things between them now. Sheila says she thinks things are fine but was surprised that things were said behind her back but has now learned that in this game you have to keep some things to yourself. Julie asks about Allison's emergency. Sheila says it scared her and wasn't sure if she was going to come back in the game and was very afraid for her. Julie tells James he wasn't afraid to jump in and help (everybody clapped). James says he was scared and thought she would die and was about to flip her over and give her CPR. Julie asks Alex about his/Amanda's ups and downs and how did it feel to see his partner return. Alex says it was great but it was shocking. He has to play this game as a couple and when she came through the door a smile was on his face. Julie asks them about having to live without basic conveniences this last week. Matt says life was miserable without cups and no hot water. Matt said he's always miserable though so not much changed but the hot water really affected people. Julie asks Sheila how the slop diet is going. Sheila says she's been on every diet there is and the slop is the best diet she's ever been on in her life and has lost 5 pounds (everybody claps). She thought it would taste like oatmeal but it doesn't.

:19 - Julie tells us that James/Chelsia come from very different worlds but have one of the tightest bonds in the house and we'll find out why they're such kindred spirits. Later, the live vote. Let's go to the DR to see what Josh/Sharon have to say about the nominated couples.

:19 - Sharon thinks one of the reasons Matt/Natalie need to go because now that they've been on the block they've started turning on them. Josh says that Amanda secretly hates him and is waiting for the right moment to evict him. Commercial.

:23 - James travels the world on a bicycle. Chelsia is from a small town in Iowa. These two are very different people but their friends tell us why they might be the perfect fit. James/Chelsia footage of them in HOH room with him telling her why he rides his bike all over.

:24 - At Bar 107, Brian (friend) says that James is a regular at the bar and has become part of the family. Talks about the story James told him when he met him about riding the bike around the world. Chelsia telling James in HOH about how involved she was in school in high school (choir, science club, etc). Jenny (friend) says she's a kind-hearted girl, wears her heart on her sleeve, but knows when to get serious. Jenny says James seems like somebody she'd enjoy hanging out. Brian says that James is one of the most open and honest people he's ever met. Jenny says she thinks James is a cool guy and they're both caring and compassionate people. Jenny thinks they deserve to win the game.

:26 - James/Chelsia in HOH bedroom talking to Julie. Julie tells James he promised Matt/Natalie not to nominate them. James didn't think he would win HOH so he wanted to make sure that Matt won HOH he wouldn't be on the block. He knew if he didn't put one of them (Matt/Alex) up one would take the other off the block. Chelsia says she has no regrets on how things went down but after the nominations she thought abuot why they were doing it. Julie asks James what's it like being confined in the house with so many people. James says he hates it and everybody's so materialistic and they've forgotten about finding themselves. James wants the money to inspire others to bike around the world, go to Los Angeles and party with some friends, and then get back on the road. Julie asks Chelsia why she's connected so well with James. She says she's a girly girl but also laid back and open-minded so she understands why they're connecting.

:28 - Julie says when we come back the live voting will begin. But first, let's hear what Ryan/Allison think about tonight's nominees. Ryan says they want Alex/Amanda out because they've had it out for them from day 1. Allison says Matt/Natalie has never done anything for them and didn't step up to the plate when they needed them. She has little respect in that regard and how they've played the game. Commercial.

:33 - Live voting is about to begin. Let's talk to the nominees in the living room. Julie tells them the others couples are about to cast their votes to evict live. Reminds them what they say now could make all the difference. Alex/Amanda speak first. Amanda is sorry for things she's said and done to hurt everybody and asks for one more chance to stay in the house and play the game. She wants even one more chance for Alex because she thinks he hasn't done anything wrong in the game. Alex says he'll respect everything everybody does and loves everyone here and hopes that keeping things real will have them keep him. Matt/Natalie speak. Natalie thanks everybody and says BB did a great job casting and doesn't want to go back to the Beaver State. Matt says that everybody is a beautiful person inside and out and has enjoyed getting to know everybody. He wishes them luck in their decision and says he's nervous and will see everybody on the outside. Time for live voting.

:35 - Julie tells them that each couple has to agree. If they can't agree, they will be the first couple walking out of the BB house tonight.

:35 - Adam/Sheila cast their vote to evict Amanda/Alex.

:36 - Joshuah/Sharon cast their vote to evict Alex/Amanda. Josh sighs heavily before saying it. Josh in hall says to Sharon, "What did we just do?"

:37 - Julie tells us it's official that Alex/Amanda are voted out. Ryan/Allison vote to evict Amanda/Alex.

:38 - Time to reveal the votes. By a vote of 3-0, Alex and Amanda you've been evicted from the Big Brother house. They hug Matt/Natalie. Natalie's crying. Amanda and Natalie crying and hugging. Allison standing nonchalantly to the side. Alex goes over to hug Allison. Amanda's really crying. She's upset. Allison hugs Amanda. Julie says, "Yo!" She needs them to come out right now. Natalie gives Amanda one last hug at the door. Amanda/Alex walk out. Amanda's bawling. Matt tells everybody thank you. Amanda/Alex exit the house and meet Julie.

:40 - Back to inside the house. Sharon crying. Josh tells her they had to do that. Josh tells her they have to win it for Amanda. Chelsia making the condor sound and making fun of it.

:41 - Julie with Alex/Amanda. She tells Alex he was vocal about blaming Amanda. Alex says he takes the blame for the eviction. Alex doesn't think campaigning wouldn't have helped them. Saying what he said about Amanda is probably the reason why they're here. Julie tells Amanda everybody knows she was campaigning hard. Did she respect his decision not to campaign or was it, "No bueno?" Amanda said she tried to get him to campaign but Alex had sworn not to campaign so she respected that. Julie brings up how attracted they were at first and how things are now. Alex said after their little blow-up they decided to join together to stay in the game.

:43 - Goodbye messages. Allison tells them that neither of them took any time to get to know her and they've hurt her feelings tremendously. Ryan says that from the beginning they had it out for them so he can't say he's unhappy they're gone. Josh says Amanda's added energy to the house and will miss her. Josh apologizes again for what he said to her and her family. Natalie says she's going to miss Amanda and was her closest friend. Matt tells Alex he was his boy in the house and will avenge him in the house. Julie thanks Alex/Amanda. Coming up next, the HOH competition. Backyard setup is camping-themed but still a "booth thing". Commercial.

:47 - Julie welcomes us back for the HOH competition. Let's find out who the next HOH couple will be.

:48 - Tonight's competition is called "Words of Love" and centers around the love quotes on the walls inside the house. In each round, she'll ask a question about a quote and when they know the author of the quote ring in and answer. If they ring in and are correct, they get to eliminate one other couple. If they're wrong, they're eliminated. Last couple standing wins. Ladies go first until one of them remains. Then it will be the men. Last man and woman standing face off then.

:49 - The course of true love - Sharon rings in with Shakespeare. Correct. She takes out Allison.

:50 - When the hearts of other to your own - Sharon again - Correct - Eliminates Sheila.

:50 - Which author's quote talks about love in dreams? Nobody has an answer but Sharon rings in at last moment with Dostoevsky. Sharon wins ladies round.

:51 - Gentlemen now. If I love you.... Ryan rings in with Oscar Wilde. He's wrong and is eliminated. Josh pumps his fist in the air.

:51 - Who proclaims love is a battlefield? Josh says none of the above. He takes out Matt.

:51 - One always ends by deceiving others. Josha rings in with Oscar Wilde. He's correct. Since his partner won there doesn't need to be a face-off between ladies and men. Joshuah/Sharon are the new HOH couple. Josh runs around pumping his fist and cussing and hollering. James/Chelsia hand them their keys and everybody hugs each other.

:52 - Julie says to stay with her to find out how the house might change with them as HOH. Commercial.

:54 - Julie welcomes us back and let's talk to the new HOH couple in the living room. She congratulates them. He yells they're psyched and pumped. Sharon says they memorized all the quotes and it was the best thing they could do with their last 20 minutes of time. Julie asks what they're most looking forward to seeing in their room. Joshuah says pics of family or phone call from family and then says even to see her (Julie Chen) in their bedroom. Julie tells him to calm down. Julie asks Sharon what she's looking forward to in the HOH bedroom. Sharon says the same thing. Wants pics of her family. Julie congratulates Matt and says that Boston won over New York tonight. Matt says that Alex is a great human being and that they just clicked and is upset that he's gone and will be greatly missed. They all say bye to Julie.

:56 - Which two couples will be nominated? Find out Sunday at 8:00 PM ET. Then Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET, will the POV save one of the couples on the block. Then she'll be back one week from tonight at 8:00 PM ET with a live eviction. Says we won't want to miss this. "The evicted couple will get a surprise that noone will see coming. And a new chapter will begin for this season of Big Brother."

:57 - Let's eavesdrop on the houseguests. Sharon all hyper and talking and happy. Ryan leaning over kitchen bar with his drawers hanging out. Natalie and Sharon and Sheila celebrating in front of the memory wall. Show's over. That's it folks!


OK now. What a crazy show. I wasn't surprised to see Alex/Amanda leave but I really wanted Matt/Natalie to go instead. What do you think about Josh/Sharon winning HOH? Who do you think they'll put up?

And what do you think about this twist that Julie mentioned at the end of the show? The evicted couple will get a surprise that nobody saw coming? A new chapter will begin for this season of Big Brother? What in the world! Tell me what you think it might be!
