After being nominated for eviction by Head of Household April, Jessie was the fourth Houseguest evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER 10 house by a vote of 4 to 3.  On Sunday, Jessie and Memphis were nominated for eviction.  On Tuesday, Jerry won the Power of Veto and chose not to use it, keeping the original two nominees on the block. 

During last night's live broadcast, Jessie, a 22-year-old professional body builder from Rudd, Iowa, learned his fate and left the House.  After leaving BIG BROTHER 10, Jessie was interviewed by Julie Chen about his experience. 

After last night's eviction, the Houseguests competed for Head of Household in a competition called "Rude Awakening." Throughout the night before the competition, the Houseguests were awakened by pre-recorded messages from BIG BROTHER fans.  During the competition, Julie asked the Houseguests questions related to the messages they had previously heard.  Michelle had the most correct answers and was named this week's HOH.
