One player went first, then selected the next player to go, and so on, and so forth. Rachel wasn\u2019t able to complete the task with whatever remaining time she had left and was immediately evicted from the <em>Big Brother <\/em>house.

(I personally love the \u201cdramada,\u201d the fire, and yes, the looks she\u2019s been serving \u2014 good and bad \u2014 this season.) But to have the season\u2019s only returning houseguest exit on a twist and not even from gameplay, social standing or an eviction vote leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, to say the least. Producers <em>can\u2019t <\/em>be happy with how this played out, right?
