Drama In The Big Brother House

"This week on Biiiiiiig Brotherrrr."

Big Brother is a reality TV show showed aired on CBS hosted by Julie Chen. For those who do not what this show is here is a quick summary of how the show works. 16 house guests move into a studio-made house in Los Angles, California at the beginning of the summer and compete to win $500,000. The house guests have no connection to the outside world and only bring clothing and bathroom supplies into the house.

The show airs three times a week, Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. Each showing has a specific competition being played. Sunday nights are the HOH (Head of Household) competition. Winning HOH means you get your own big room, with your own bathroom, some of your favorite foods and a letter from home. The HOH nominates two house guests to get voted out of the house (in Big Brother terms those two house guests are now on the block). The next episode is the Veto Competition. The HOH, two nominations, and three random drawn house guests play to win the Power of Veto. The Power of Veto allows one person who was nominated to be removed from the block. The HOH then must nominate another house guest to go up on the block to possibly be evicted. Thursday nights are eviction nights. The house (minus the HOH) will vote for one of the two nominees to leave the house. In a way, this show is like Survivor but indoors.

Now a recap of this season so far and more importantly this week.

This season started with 12 new house guests going moving into the house. One of the biggest twists of the season was four players from previous seasons would also be playing for the half million dollars this summer. From the start of the show people started making alliances and the drama started quickly. Week by week there were many tears and goodbyes. Going on week eight in the Big Brother house there are eight players left.

Last week was one of the craziest weeks in the Big Brother house. This past week's HOH, Victor had been the third house guest voted out but was able to get back in the game by winning a competition against the first five house guests to be evicted. Last week Victor nominated two females, Michelle and Zakiyah, with a harsh speech. (watch below to grasp the dramatic effect of this nomination ceremony!) After the Veto Comp was won and the Veto was not used, Zakiyah was sent home.

Thursday, August 11, Julie Chen surprised the house with a double eviction episode. A week’s worth of competition and drama were going to be comprised into an hour long episode. Shockingly the HOH was won by Corey, who hasn’t done much this season. Corey put up Bridgette and Michelle for eviction. The Power of Veto was not used, so each nominee has a chance to give a speech on why they should stay. Michelle thought she was for sure going home so she called out other guests to leave on a happy note.

To her surprise she was not evicted from the house this week. But her speech sure stirred up the house. Going into next week’s episodes the house guests don’t know who to trust or what is around the corner. Tune into CBS Sunday night at 8 to catch up with the drama!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:
