Have you missed the last few episodes of CBS's wacky summertime hit, Big Brother? Would you like a synopsis of the last couple of episodes so you can be all caught up and ready for tonight's 'sode? If so, then you've come to the right place! AlligatorJuice has got it all. Who needs Julie Chen and The Early Show or Gretchen Massey (who the hell IS that woman?!? Someone? Anyone?) or CBS.com? We've got Sims to show you how it all happened!

On August 17, by a vote of six to zippola, Marcellas was evicted from the Big Brother house. He stormed out of the house, complete with a 'tude, leaving eight players in the house.



From left to right:

Danielle -- Betrayer of Jason in Big Brother 3 (no, I'll never get over that, what's it to you?), this woman will do anything to win. She claims she's playing the game for her kids, but anyone actually seen these alleged children?

Mike -- Mike "Boogie" recently earned a very special power, the cout d'Etat, which allows him to overthrow the Head of Household right before an eviction. He is now a cat, and he totally ate a gigantic canary.

James -- James was initially in a "Season 6" alliance with Howie and Janelle, but he has since turned his back on them... he just forgot to tell them that. I think maybe they're starting to catch on.

George -- "Chicken George" is anything but a chicken, as we discovered earlier this season when he not only shaved his head but agreed to eat slop for the rest of the game, just so he could win a veto competition.

Will -- "Dr. Evil", winner of Big Brother 2, owns this game. He currently has just about everyone under his control. And he looks damn fine.

Erika -- Now that Kaysar's gone, Erika's set her sights on Mike. Is it strategic, or does Erika have some bizarre need to constantly be romancing a fellow houseguest? Let's hope she's not in the final three with Janelle and Danielle, because that could get a little bit awkward.

Janelle -- Season 6's notorious biotch is one of America's favorite players, and I have no idea why. Best not viewed first thing in the morning.

Howie -- "Big Boy" Howie is completely useless. He may be muscular, but those muscles don't appear to actually work.

The night Marcellas left, the remaining contestants competed for Head of Household. Dressed in prom garb, they had to correctly answer a series of questions.



In what may be the season's biggest shocker, George won Head of Household. But Julie Chen, Big Brother hostess with the mostest, had a trick up her sleeve... she demanded that George nominate two people for eviction that very night. He settled on James and Erika.

That George, what a character! These nominations were not cool with the other houseguests. Most people thought Janelle (a very strong player) should be nominated this week. And so began a lot of sucking up to, and attempted arm-twisting of, Chicken George. All players participated.



During a competition littered with flamingoes and hula hoops, James won the Power of Veto and took himself off the "chopping block." George was pressured by the other houseguests into putting up Howie. Howie was just a little pissed about that, but his anger during the veto ceremony was nothing compared to his fury a day or so later when he was voted out of the whole friggin' house.

Yes, it's true. Howie and Mike had somewhat of an altercation as Howie was about to walk out the door. Something to do with Mike lying to Howie and Howie not appreciating that very much. Sadly, this encounter did not lead to an all-out rumble, but it's just as well. Howie, who has more body mass than Mike, would have won (if "squishing your opponent into a pancake state" is considered a win), and Mike would have been dead and then who would help Will win Big Brother All-Stars?

With Howie out the door, the seven remaining houseguests entered into a new Head of Household challenge, this one involving gnomes.



It came down to Mike and Janelle. If Janelle won, it'd be her fourth Head of Household victory. She'd gloat about it til the sun went down, and then start gloating again when it came back up. But she did not win... Mike did.

He then rejoiced.



Janelle was later seen with one of the gnomes in the hot tub.



Okay, I made that part up.

Who will Mike nominate for eviction? Only time will tell.



Mike: "*Ring, ring.* Hey, Will!"

Will: "Hey, Mike, what's up?"

Mike: "Well, you know... not much. Last week I won the cout d'Etat and this week I won HoH. I don't know, Will... I'm not sure if we can really win this game."

Will: "Yeah, I don't know, Mike... it's iffy."

Mike & Will: *pause* *INSANE LAUGHTER*

Well, BB fans, that's it for now. Be sure to tune in tonight at 9pm on CBS to see who Mike will nominate for eviction. I hope this summary of the last two shows has helped you get caught up. If not, well... whoever said Sims were a substitute for the real thing? Oh yeah... that was me, wasn't it. Well, until next time...
