THE "BIG BROTHER 10" HOUSEGUESTS BOOT STEVEN FROM THE HOUSE

After being nominated for eviction by Head of Household Jessie, Steven was evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER 10 house by a unanimous vote of 9 to 0. On Sunday, Steven and Dan were nominated for eviction. On Tuesday, Michelle won the Power of Veto and chose not to use it, keeping the two original nominees on the block.

During last night's live broadcast, Steven, a 35-year-old rodeo competitor from Dallas, learned his fate and left the House. After leaving BIG BROTHER 10, Steven was interviewed by Julie Chen about his experience.

After last night's eviction, the Houseguests competed for Head of Household in a competition called "Alien Abduction." In it, the Houseguests went head-to-head against each other and had to guess which items were "abducted" from the house the previous day. The winner of each round stayed in the game and selected their next opponent, and the loser was eliminated. Keesha had the most correct answers and was named this week's HOH.

The Houseguests:

Angie Swindell, Orlando, Fla. via Virginia Beach, Va.

April Dowling, Higley, Ariz. Via Arlington, Neb.
