NO MERCY FOR MARCI
HoH Chicken George Puts James & Erika Up

Marcellas is evicted in a stinging 6 to 0 vote. But he won't be alone for long as next week, there's a double eviction. Boogie has won the Coup d'Etat power, but chooses not to use it yet. George stuns everyone by winning HoH and hoists James and Erika onto the block without warning.

QUEEN OF MEAN
Marcellas and Erika are on the block. Erika admits that she was "shocked" at Marci's nomination. Marcellas reports that Janelle told him she was putting him on the block, but said she'd "ensure" he was safe. But, he wails, "The pages of BIG BROTHER history are littered with the corpses of people who thought that they were safe!"

Lounging with his red-roommates, Marcellas assures Erika that he won't campaign against her. As soon as she leaves the room, he turns to Danielle, saying, "D, I still need you to vote for me." Danielle is torn between her promise to Marcellas and her friendship with Erika. Outside, Will and Boogie are working all the angles. Will admits they are charting a precarious course through the BIG BROTHER waters, but he also knows his alliance with Boogie is the strongest in the house. Marcellas corners George, seeking his vote by pointing out Erika's targeting him in the past. George is noncommittal as Marcellas leaves him and heads upstairs to see Janelle. She swears to him that she believes Chilltown when they say that are not going to evict Marcellas. But Marcellas needs more assurance and heads into the backyard, where Will and Boogie are hanging out. They reassure him of their intent to support him. Marci seems resigned as he saunters back inside, sighing, "I'm taking you at your words." But as soon as Marcellas is out of earshot, Boogie sniggers, "Sucker, you’re going down."

Host Julie Chen welcomes the HouseGuests, asking them about the past week. Howie recounts seeing his nemesis "Busto," April from BIG BROTHER 6, while Julie teases Boogie about his sprint from the "ghosts" last week. The mood is jovial as Julie compliments everyone on their classy evening attire, retro prom duds. The reason for the dress-up becomes clear later.
