BB26: Week 7

Wow....the aftermath of Tucker leaving!  Angela is shocked to tears when Kimo revealed he voted to evict her; Quinn happy-dancing all over the diary room and the bathroom, and admitting he was wearing Rubina's skirt?  Is this kid also LGBTQ?   


HOH: The egg /chicken wire challenge!

Quinn drops egg; becomes Have-Not, followed by Kimo and Makensy.

Quinn wins!  Does this still mean he's a Have-Not?  LMAO!

He nominates Angela, Rubina (noooo!), and Kimo

Q, what kind of pants are you wearing???  It looks as if a patchwork quilt was made into pants....or shorts were lengthened by other fabrics???


POV:  Quinn, Angela, Rubina, Kimo, Joseph, and Leah

In the dark comp!  Leah wins!!!  Quinn tossed the one item he needed away, then couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Leah uses it on Angela; Quinn puts up Joseph.

Ooooh, the green-eyed monster has hit Chelsie, watching Cam and Mack snuggle!


AI Arena: Rubina, Kimo, Joseph

Untangle comp!  Rubina wins!!!!  I thought she might; she's the smallest:)

Yikes...Mack has her dress on backwards again!!!  Or did Leah wear it a few weeks ago???  Okay; it's a halter top....in that case, thank GOD she's small-busted!  Who the hell designed that monstrosity?  3 bows in the front, with cut-outs between them.  Ugh.  She also acts as if the dress is too tight....then why wear it???

Eviction:

Joseph is evicted, 4-3:) Last person before Jury begins.


Ainsley's Surprise:

No More AI ARENA!!!!!
