What up, Kaysar? You will be heading back into the 'Big Brother' house, that's what.
Kaysar Ridha, one of the most popular HouseGuests ever cast on the CBS reality show series, got his walking papers on last night's live eviction show but little does he know he'll likely be returning in a week's time to start playing the 'Big Brother' game once again due to a timely twist.
Cast out by a vote of seven to one, 'King' Kaysar will be remembered for flipping the entire game upside down and touching off a bitter civil war between The Outcast and Disciples Alliances in the 'Big Brother' house during his reign as Head of Household.
The practicing Muslim who entered the house to see if his beliefs could withstand the pressures and temptations of the reality show, is one of three evicted players who have the opportunity to re-enter the game next Thursday. Host Julie Chen made the announcement when she revealed the return of the 'America's Choice' poll to the series. Unlike on 'Big Brother 3' when southern belle Amy Crews won a special competition to return, the viewers will be deciding this time around who gets that opportunity by voting using text messaging on their cell phones or casting their ballots on the official 'Big Brother 6' site. Fans will only be able to choose between Michael Donnellan, Eric Littmann or Kaysar Ridha as Ashlea Evans decided not to be sequestered and therefore forfeited her chances of a return.
Chen made it known that the booted players have been isolated in separate locations and have not had access to the Internet or television since leaving the house. When the twist was told to the HouseGuests, The Disciples Alliance cheered for Eric while The Outcasts shouted Kaysar's name.
In his post-eviction interview with Chen, Kaysar agreed that he was eliminated from the competition because he was the biggest strategic threat and that he achieved his goal of "changing the balance of power" in the house.
"I leave the house with no regrets and whatever I did was what I wanted to happen," said Kaysar.
Although not aware of the twist at the time, Kaysar told Chen he would play the game differently if he had the chance to come back.
"If I could go back to the house, I would definitely not give away all of my secrets and not show all of my cards and how dangerous I am," he said.
While Michael, Eric and Ashlea were shown goodbye messages when they were voted out, Kaysar was not.
The twist coupled with Howie Gordon's victory in the HOH Competition virtually assures that the Disciples Alliance of April, Ivette, Beau and Maggie will be sent packing unless there's a major shift in alliances. Gordon won a buzz-in-an-answer-and-eliminate-another-player challenge to be the new Head Of Household. Howie wore Kaysar's FBI baseball cap and his T-Shirt during the competition. Howie dedicated the win to Kaysar by shouting out "What up Kaysar!" a catch-phase affectionately given to him by the Outcast Alliance.
Howie's nominations for eviction will be made known on Saturday's 'Big Brother 6' broadcast.
