The Big Brother 6 Jury, Including Former Houseguests April, Jennifer, Rachel, James, Beau, Howie and Janelle, Will Decide Between Maggie and Ivette For the Grand Prize of $500,000 on the Live Finale Broadcast on Tuesday, Sept. 20

LOS ANGELES -- After hanging tough for many weeks, Janelle, the final member of the "Sovereign" alliance remaining in the house, was voted out by Ivette after losing to her in the final leg of the three-part Head of Household competition. The 25-year-old VIP cocktail waitress, originally from Grand Rapids, Minn. and currently living in Miami Beach, Fla., was kicked out by Ivette live on Friday, Sept. 16.

Now, Maggie and Ivette are the final two houseguests, one of whom will receive the grand prize of $500,000 on the BIG BROTHER 6 live finale to be broadcast on Tuesday, Sept. 20 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).

In the first of a three-part HOH competition, Janelle, Ivette and Maggie competed in the "Key To Being Safe" endurance competition that involved each of them standing on a spinning dial (stage) while holding onto their individual keys. Ivette won the first competition, which was revealed on the Friday, September 16 broadcast. Also revealed on Friday was Janelle's victory over Maggie in the second part of the HOH competition, "Jumbo Combo," in which the houseguest who answered eight questions correctly received the combination to a giant padlock. The first person to open the padlock and get the giant key was declared the winner. In the final leg of the HOH competition, Ivette and Janelle competed in "The Grand Jury," in which Big Brother jury members were asked questions and Ivette and Janelle had to guess their former housemates' answers. Ivette emerged victorious and immediately evicted Janelle live on the air.

Following her eviction, Janelle was interviewed by host Julie Chen about her experience in the house.

Janelle joins Jennifer, April, Rachel, James, Beau and Howie on the jury who will decide the grand prize winner of $500,000 on the live finale broadcast on Tuesday, Sept. 20 (9:00-10:00 PM, live ET, delayed PT).
