POV

Ok...Janelle won the POV and actually used it on Maggie. She then put up Ivette.

Sarah or Evil-ette

I still can't decide who I want to go more. I don't really care for Evil-ette but I think she adds a lot to the show. Sarah really bores me. I don't really care to listen to her bitch and moan or watch her and James all over each other. It's actually been entertaining to see Evil-ette and April at each other. So maybe I do want Sarah out...

Shut Up Evil-ette

James is stitting outside with Evilette, Maggie, Beau, and Jen. Maggie and Evil-ette are giving James and earful because he went over the other side. Evil-ette has NO clue how to play this game. James HAD to safe himself. I don't know why James continues to try to explain himself.

CBS's Big Brother Introduces Its First Lesbian Contestant

The sixth installment of the CBS reality show Big Brother premiered last week, and among the 14 contestants living in a house together vying for a cash prize is Ivette Corredero, a 25-year-old openly gay Latina teacher-turned waitress with a live-in girlfriend and a plan to infiltrate the "house of [heterosexual] hotties."

Big Brother is a sort-of Real World-meets-Survivor series that was originally developed in the Netherlands in 1999, and has since been successfully adapted for prime time TV in several countries. In the U.S. version, the format is as follows: a group of people live together in a house for 12 weeks, and each week vote among two nominees to evict one of the housemates, with several mini-challenges and rewards along the way. The last person standing wins a large amount of money.

A 5' 6" Catholic woman of Dominican and Cuban descent, Ivette is the first Cuban-American contestant and the first openly lesbian contestant on Big Brother. In real life, Ivette is open about her sexual orientation, but in her pre-game interview with former Big Brother contestant Marcellas Reynolds on the show's official website, Ivette says her strategy is to lay low in the beginning of the game--which includes not coming out to the other contestants right away.

Disclosing that she's gay might make her more of a threat, she says, and "guys will spend their whole time trying to [convert me], or they might hate me and kick me off. And the girls [may] hate me because they swear I'm not really a lesbian." To which she adds with a laugh, "it's been 10 years--it's not a fake thing, and it's not a phase.

Staying on the Same Page?

Eric, Rachal, Ivette, and Maggie were all talking in one of the bedrooms. They were talking about somebody's bad attitude. I think it was Michael but I'm not 100% sure. They said they didn't want to get on his bad side but they didn't like the way he treated others. They also talked about the 4 of them staying on the same page.
