"BIG BROTHER: 'TIL DEATH DO YOU PART" HOUSEGUESTS SEND PARKER
AND JEN OUT THE DOOR
Parker Somerville and Jen Diturno are the Second Matched Pair of
Houseguests to Officially Be Evicted From the "Big Brother"
House
After being nominated for eviction by Alex Coladonato and Amanda
Hansen, the first couple to hold Head of Household this season, Parker
Somerville and Jen Diturno were evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER:
'TIL DEATH DO YOU PART House.
Parker and Jen were ousted by a vote of 3-1 by their fellow
Houseguests, with every couple voting them out except Natalie and Matt
(each couple had one vote and Heads of Household and the eviction nominees
do not vote). On Tuesday, Matt and Natalie won the Power of Veto, but
chose to leave the nominations as they stood, leaving Parker and partner
Jen, along with Jen's real life boyfriend, Ryan Quicksall and his Big
Brother partner Allison Nichols on the chopping block.
During last night's live broadcast, Parker Somerville, the 26-year-old
paparazzo from Northridge, Calif., and his "Big Brother" match,
Jen Diturno, the 26-year-old bartender from Columbus, Ohio, learned their
fate and left the House. After leaving BIG BROTHER: 'TIL DEATH DO YOU
PART, Parker and Jen were interviewed by Julie Chen about their
experience.
The Houseguests compete each Wednesday to become Heads of Household.
The perks of the position include having a luxurious private bedroom and
bathroom, as well as a plasma screen spy cam to monitor other Houseguests'
activities. However, it also includes the responsibility of having to
nominate fellow Houseguests for eviction. On the weeks when there are veto
challenges, one of the nominated couples can be saved from the chopping
block if they, or another pair, wins the Power of Veto. If they choose to
use the veto power, the Heads of Household must immediately nominate
another couple.
After last night's eviction, the Houseguests competed in a game called
"Big Brother Democracy," in which couples were presented with
six questions and had to pick the answer they thought the majority of the
house would select in order to accumulate points. The couple with the most
points would become the next Heads of Household. Chelsia Hart, the
21-year-old college student from Cedar Falls, Iowa and her partner James
Zinkand, the 21-year-old riding his bicycle around the world and
originally from Sarasota, Fla., won the coveted position.
