Big Brother Season 12 - Who Was Evicted Tonight 8/19/10 and the New HOH Winner

It's eviction night on Big Brother 12. Another houseguest was evicted on Thursday night's live show August 19, 2010. Brendon Villegas won the HOH competition on Thursday and he put up Ragan and Lane for eviction. Ragan won the power of veto and took himself off the block. Brendon replaced Ragan with Matt. Matt holds the diamond power of veto and he used it on Thursday. The diamond power of veto lets Matt pick his own replacement and he chose Kathy.

This week was a busy week for the Big Brother house. Ragan was pulling pranks because of his role as the saboteur, Brendon got to open Pandora's box and Matt holds the diamond power of veto.

The saboteur Ragan Fox tried to "wreak havoc" in the house by keeping the houseguests up all night and leaving a mysterious note for Enzo. Ragan did make it through the 2 weeks necessary for him to collect his 20,000 dollars. His chosen antics did not seem to phase the other houseguests at all. There was another Pandora's box waiting for Brendon in his HOH room he got to get out of the house for 24 hours to have a spa day. While he was gone Rachel returned for one day and tried to make Ragan miserable. Brendon and Rachel did not get to see each other but she left him a message spelled out in pretzels for Brendon to put up Matt as Ragan's replacement nominee. That advice turned out to not be good after all since Matt held the diamond power of veto. Matt replaced himself with Kathy which is a waste of an HOH for Brendon.

So Lane was on the block against Kathy who was evicted and the votes went as follows,

Britney voted Kathy out

Matt voted Kathy out

Enzo voted Kathy out

Hayden voted Kathy out

Ragan voted Kathy out

Brendon didn't get to vote because he was the HOH and the HOH only gets to vote in case of a tie.

There is an HOH competition underway. All of the houseguests can participate (with the exception of outgoing HOH Brendon). The HOH competition just started as all of the houseguests have to answer trivia questions based on a Simon says game that they played earlier in the week. I will post the progress of the HOH competition here as soon as it happens so keep checking back here for updates.

Update: It came down to Britney vs. Enzo and Britney won. Next Thursday will be a double eviction night so it should be fast paced and exciting.

The 12th season of "Big Brother" is on 3 times a week (Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday) at 8:00 on CBS.
