BIG BROTHER HOUSEGUESTS VOTE TO EVICT JOSHUAH

Joshuah Welch Becomes the Third Juror to Be Sequestered

After being nominated for eviction by Head of Household Natalie Cunial, Joshuah Welch was evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER House. Joshuah was ousted by a vote of 3-1. On Sunday, Joshuah and James were nominated for eviction, but on Tuesday, for the second week in a row, "Lucky" James won the Power of Veto, and chose to remove himself from the block. Head of Household Natalie then replaced him with Sharon.

During last night's live broadcast, Joshuah Welch, the 25-year-old advertising media buyer from Dallas, Tex., learned his fate and left the House. After leaving BIG BROTHER, Joshuah was interviewed by Julie Chen about his experience. He becomes the third jury member, joining Matt and Chelsia in sequester.

After last night's eviction, the Houseguests competed in a game called "More or Less," in which Houseguests had to answer questions about the house answering "more" or "less" (for example, "Are there are more or less than 500 books on the upstairs wallpaper?"). The Houseguest with the most correct answers won Head of Household. Adam Jasinski public relations manager from Delray Beach, Fla. via Cherry Hill, N.J. XXXXX, the XX-year-old XXXXX from XXXX, XXX., won the coveted position.
