Mike Evicted from Big Brother 8 House

Mike, a 23 year-old painting contractor from Wisconsin, was the third person sent packing from the Big Brother House.

The week started off with "Evil" Dick winning the Head of Household contest. This spelled certain doom for his two main enemies in the house, Kail and Jen.

Dick did the expected and nominated Jen and Kail. He said that he nominated Jen because she nominated him the week before. He then explained to Kail that he nominated her for campaigning against him the whole week and lying to his back.

According to Dick, and backed up by what was shown on the show, Kail said she was not voting to evict him and that she would tell him if she changed her mind. Dick then found out that Kail was campaigning against him, behind his back. He accused her of lying and trying to manipulate the house.

Dick's calling out of Kail seemed to sway the house. Before the Power of Veto contest the house seemed to have picked Kail to go home over Jen.

The Power of Veto contest involved having the houseguests that were playing dress up in mad hatter costumes. The houseguests then had to stand on a pedestal and balance a glass on top of their very large hats.

After the players were selected for the Power of Veto contest, Dick went on a mission to try to intimidate both of his main competitors, Jen and Kail. The intimidation did not work on Jen, but it did on Kail. Kail was shaking so uncontrollably that she dropped the glass very soon into the contest and was the first one out.

At this point the other houseguests, who were not participating in the contest, came out of the house in strange costumes and attempted to make those participating laugh, so that the glass would fall.

This worked on several of those playing, leaving Dick and Jen as the only ones standing. Dick then said to Jen if she got down that he would make sure she did not leave. She declined.

It was at this point that Mike started to try to make Dick drop his glass. After a while, Dick threatened Mike by saying that if he did not stop, he would nominate Mike for eviction. Mike did not stop even saying that he was bigger than the game.

True to his word, Dick threw his own glass off his head, making Jen the winner. Jen then used the Power of Veto on herself and Dick put Mike on the block.

Mike was confident that he would look like a trustworthy and loyal player and that the houseguests would want to keep him around. However, this was not the case.

The houseguests decided to evict Mike from the house since he was perceived as the stronger player. They figured that Kail would have nowhere to turn now and that she would be no threat. They voted Mike out by a vote of 7-2, with Eric and Zach the only ones voting for Kail.

In this week's Head of Household contest, the houseguests were asked questions about the three evicted houseguests. If they answered the question right, they could knock someone out of the contest and if they answered wrong they would be knocked out.

Eric was the only houseguest to answer a question wrong. He jumped the gun on a question and did not wait for Julie to read the entire thing. Because of this ehe had to guess, and he was eliminated from the Head of Household contest.

It came down to Dustin and Jameeka at the end of the contest, but Dustin answered the final question and became Head of Household.
