‘Big Brother’s’ Julie Chen Urges ‘Hypocrite’ Fans Not to ‘Judge’ Contestants Using Microagressions Against Taylor Hale

Gameplay getting personal. Big Brother alums and fans alike have called out the season 24 houseguests for their behavior toward contestant Taylor Hale.

That’s what you call a blindside. Ameerah Jones had no idea she was being voted out of the Big Brother 24 house before her live eviction on Thursday, July 28.

— and for fans watching at home — there's been more than the usual fair share of the unexpected.Thursday's live eviction episode was jam-packed with drama and some surprising twists that left some houseguests in tears and others sick to their stomachs, apparently.So, who wound up getting sent packing? Scroll down for the big reveal. Otherwise, here's how everything played out during Thursday's live show.Fresh off the heels of Wednesday's dramatic episode, the house was still reeling from a heated confrontation between Taylor Hale and Daniel Durston in which Daniel screamed at Taylor, somehow blamed her for Paloma Aguilar's self-eviction, and left Taylor in tears.Daniel's tantrum — in concert with his ride-or-die, final-two-pact pal Nicole Layog's cold treatment of Taylor — played a big part in Taylor being brought into a brand new pact of houseguests who feel they've been left out by some of the louder, more self-assured players.

After several of the houseguests’ treatment of fellow contestant Taylor Hale made headlines on Big Brother season 24, things have seemingly escalated amid this week’s “Besties” twist.

“Big Brother” has had a long history of iconic “villains” and players who are so conniving that fans almost respect just how cutthroat they really are. Then, there are players that get fans to simply hate them and root for their downfall and expedient eviction.

already-controversial Daniel Durston cemented his place as one of the most reviled houseguests in recent memory.Daniel has already faced a lot of criticism for his treatment of Taylor Hale, and he even nominated her for eviction in the first week. He's been obsessed with getting her out of the house, and has been working with Nicole Layog toward that goal.On Wednesday, things came to a head when Taylor — who was coupled with Nicole as part of the show's «Bestie Twist» — tried to show some support to an emotional Nicole.

SPOILER ALERT: the house guest evicted on the July 24 episode of “Big Brother” is revealed below.The “Big Brother” Season 24 house guests evicted their first contestant on Sunday after a week of constantly shifting tides and newly formed alliances.Joe “Pooch” Pucciarelli and Taylor Hale were on the chopping block this week. Pooch was sent home in a landslide vote, making him the second contestant to exit the house after Paloma Aguilar decided to leave the competition on her own last week.

weird drama and unexpected moves since day one, after the house seemed to turn on Taylor Hale immediately, largely due to the machinations of Paloma Aguilar.Eventually, Taylor ended up on the chopping block alongside Terrance Higgins, and on the day of reckoning, with almost the entire house chomping at the bit to kick Taylor out -- the houseguests learned some shocking news: Paloma had decided to self-evict for personal reasons.This threw a monkey wrench in one of the big twits that had planned, and effectively served as a «get out of jail free» card for Taylor, and to a lesser extent Terrance.After that fiasco, the houseguests competed in a Head Of Household Competition, which Jasmine Davis ended up winning and therefore became the HOH.When it came time to put some people up on the chopping block, Jasmine stuck with Taylor. Then, in a move of incredible hubris, Joe «Pooch» Pucciarelli volunteered to be a pawn, because he was sure he was solid with everyone in the house, and could easily help get Taylor out.There's a well-known rule in the house: never volunteer to be the pawn, because the pawn goes home.This old adage proved to be true yet again, and the show made no mystery of it at all.
