Big Brother 11: Episode 1117

The Big Brother house is still in a collective daze after Jeff used the mystery “Coup d’Etat” power to put Jessie and Natalie on the block, eventually evicting Jessie. Chima, Lydia and Natalie are especially broken up over Jessie’s eviction, crying repeatedly and citing the ways he made their lives better. Chima tries to show Jeff that he used the power in error, but Jeff just says it was part of the game. Head of Household (HoH) Michele has to decide who to evict and Chima is worried that she won’t choose Russell. Michele shows the other houseguests her HoH room and reads a letter from her husband. Russell and Jeff discuss possible outcomes and Russell tries to assure Jeff that he will help Jeff if he earns the Power of Veto (PoV). Russell meets with Michele to clear the air. Chima, Lydia and Natalie drink Jessie’s wine and toast to his memory. Outside, Russell, Jeff and Jordan question their maudlin display of affection for Jessie. Kevin sits with the girls as they reminisce about Jessie and marvels at their shortsightedness. Outside, Michele agrees with Russell, Jordan and Jeff that Chima should be evicted. For the “Have or Have-Not” competition, the houseguests have to work together (for once) to earn food and comfort privileges by matching casseroles to various rewards. The houseguests match most of the dishes. Lydia discusses her strange love of Dae Yum Yum, her pet stuffed animal unicorn. Russell jokes around with Jeff and Jordan about their relationship and Jeff pretends to propose to her. Michele and Natalie discuss the possible nominees for eviction. Michele tells Chima that she is “not going to like the nominees” this week and Chima is disappointed because that means Russell is safe this week. Michele nominates Chima and Natalie for eviction.
