One Week After America Voted Kaysar Ridha Back Into the Big Brother 6 House, His Fellow Houseguests Kick Him Out for a Second Time!

[via press release from CBS]

ONE WEEK AFTER AMERICA VOTED KAYSAR RIDHA BACK INTO THE BIG BROTHER 6 HOUSE, HIS FELLOW HOUSEGUESTS KICK HIM OUT FOR A SECOND TIME!

Surprise Double Eviction This Week With Janelle Nominating Jennifer And Maggie For Eviction To Be Broadcast Saturday, August 20 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)

LOS ANGELES -- It's getting personal and it's getting ugly! One week after American television viewers voted Kaysar Ridha back into the BIG BROTHER 6 house, the 25-year-old Iraqi-American and graphic designer, from Irvine, Calif., was eliminated for a second time from the competition. Following Julie's announcement, Kaysar was interviewed by Julie Chen about his second time around in the Big Brother house and how the houseguests can never be trusted in this game.

Following Kaysar's eviction, houseguests participated in the "Face the Facts" Head of Household competition. Janelle won HOH and was immediately called into the diary room where Julie informed her that she had to nominate two people LIVE for eviction. Janelle then went back into the living room and nominated Jennifer and Maggie, the very people who were behind Kaysar's two evictions, live on air. The second eviction will be broadcast tomorrow, Saturday, August 20 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). That person will be become the first member of the BIG BROTHER 6 jury.

Kaysar's fate was sealed by a vote of 7-0 for his eviction. After breaking her promise to Kaysar for a win in the HOH competition, Jennifer nominated Janelle and Rachel from "The Sovereign" alliance for eviction and began entertaining notions to backdoor someone other than James, as originally planned. With Rachel winning the Power of Veto and taking herself off the chopping block, Jennifer once again went back on her word and nominated America's Choice for eviction!

As part of the twist that is playing throughout the summer broadcasts, each of the 14 houseguests who originally entered the house believed they were the only one playing the game with a secret partner (friends, co-workers and significant others). Over time, the houseguests figured out the pairs on their own. As of tonight, the only remaining pairs in the house are Beau and Ivette, Howie and Rachel and Jennifer and April. In order to win the biggest cash prize in Big Brother history, it is up to the partners to keep their pairing intact and end up the last two people in the house, as the winner will collect $1,000,000 with the second place finisher winning $250,000. If a twosome does not make it to the final two, the winner will win $500,000.

After leaving BIG BROTHER 6, Kaysar was interviewed by Julie Chen about his experience, as well as on "The Early Show" on Friday morning. Viewers can also log on to www.cbs.com and watch him live on "Housecalls: The Big Brother Talk Show" with Marcellas and Gretchen at 1:00 PM ET/10:00 AM PT.

BIG BROTHER 6 is broadcast each week on Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), Thursdays (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) and Saturdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The Thursday broadcast, hosted by Julie Chen, features the live eviction of one of the houseguests.
