AN EMOTIONAL KEESHA LEAVES THE "BIG BROTHER 10" HOUSE AS THE 10TH EVICTEE

After being nominated for eviction by Head of Household Dan, Keesha was the 10th Houseguest to be evicted last night from BIG BROTHER 10. She was evicted by Memphis, who was the only Houseguest eligible to vote. On Sunday, Memphis and Jerry were nominated for eviction. On Tuesday, Memphis won the Power of Veto and chose to remove himself from the block. Dan then replaced him with Keesha, as she was the only remaining option.

During last night's live broadcast, Keesha, a 30-year-old waitress from Burbank, Calif., learned her fate and left the House. After leaving BIG BROTHER 10, she was interviewed by Julie Chen about her experience. Keesha joins Libra, April, Michelle, Ollie and Renny as the sixth jury member.

Following Keesha's eviction, the Houseguests competed for Head of Household in an endurance competition called "Wing and a Prayer." The three remaining Houseguests were each perched on top of their own airplanes. As the planes soared through the windy and rainy sky, the Houseguests had to balance on the wings of the plane. The winner of Part One of a three-part Head of Household competition will be revealed in Thursday's show and will automatically advance to Part Three. Parts Two and Three will be seen on Thursday's live eviction show.
