What goes around, comes around in the 'Big Brother 6' house.

Jennifer Vasquez, the 27-year-old arena football league dancer, who greased the wheels for America's Choice poll winner Kaysar Ridha to be evicted last Thursday, was herself booted from the game on tonight's special edition of 'Big Brother 6'. Jennifer was evicted by a vote of 5 to 1 with only her partner in the game, April Lewis, casting a ballot to save her.

As the bitter civil war in the house continues between The Outcasts (Janelle, Rachel and Howie) and The Disciples (Maggie, Beau, April, Jennifer and Ivette) alliances, Jennifer's walk of shame was a sweet victory for The Outcasts who wanted to pay her back for breaking her word and not back-dooring James Rhine last week.

This week's first Head of Household, Janelle, made doubly sure Jennifer would be the first person on the 'Big Brother 6' jury by winning the Power of Veto, saving Maggie Ausburn and then nominating Ivette Corredero in her place. With James and Beau (Ivette's game partner) guaranteed not to vote for Ivette, The Outcasts had the numbers to send Jennifer off to the 'Big Brother' sequester house.

As expected, Jennifer was not shocked by the turn of events. Speaking to host Julie Chen, Jennifer described herself as a "martyr" for her team.

"Being HOH you have a huge target on your back the next week. Even if you do end up evicting the person that you wanted gone their group is going to go after you," said Jennifer.


Although Jennifer understood she was being targeted by The Outcasts Alliance for evicting Kaysar and that Janelle was one of Kaysar's best friends in the house, she claimed not to have done anything to Janelle on a personal level.

Despite the producers issuing a temporary blackout on the 24/7 live Internet feeds from the 'Big Brother' house to protect the happenings on Saturday night's broadcast, Jennifer's eviction was common knowledge amongst fans when the feeds mysterious returned for approximately less than a minute on Friday night. During that time, Jennifer was nowhere to be seen.

As per the double eviction twist announced last week, a second Head of Household competition was held. It was The Disciples' Beau Beasley who claimed the title after besting the others in an elimination-buzz-in-your-answer trivia challenge revolving around items found in the 'Big Brother' house. Beau's nominations for eviction and the Power of Veto competition will air on Tuesday's broadcast of 'Big Brother 6'. When the 24/7 live Internet feeds returned on Sunday morning, feed watchers learned that Rachel and Howie have been nominated by Beau.
