Just when you thought you had them all figured out, you remember you must...

... expect the unexpected. Not necessarily from Big Brother, but from the darn houseguests!

Here are the day's events (and there are plenty of them) from that Big Brother House of Snakes And Other Critters With Bad Reputations:

• Way before dawn, George took the Big Brother Rules Book to study. He's taking this all very seriously and everyone has been pulling him in every direction.
• George told Janelle the whole house, including James, said they wanted her out.
• He told her he will not put her on the block and he wants to team up with them (Howie and Janelle). He didn't tell them his plans, but asked that they do one more favor for him – don't vote out Erika.
• In one of the few funny moments since late last night, George locked himself out of the HOH room. [Note: Only George, only George!]
• George then went to Erika and told her he's secured the votes for her to stay, but once again didn't tell her who he'd be putting on the block in James' place.
• Erika pleaded, begged, cajoled, you name it to get George to put up Janelle or Howie. She was unbelievable! Yikes!
• Howie comforted Janelle as she cried. He said George confirmed that James was against them.
• One thing George didn't do (although he SAID the WHOLE house was against her) was to tell her Woogie was pressuring him to put her on the block. [Note: I think he didn't specify mainly because she was already so upset. Maybe not, I'm not sure.]
• When Janelle asked Howie if he thought Chill Town sold her out, too, he told her no.
• Howie thinks the others may be lying to George for their own purposes.
• Janelle told Howie she wants Erika out tonight and she had to lie to George. She feels terrible about lying to him.
• Howie wants to go to Woogie and tell them they have to win HOH and nominate James. [Note: Ah, Howie... I thought you were catching on. Maybe not, eh?]
• George kept walking around muttering to himself that he was doing the right thing. [Note: At this point he's the only one who knows what the thing he's doing is!]
• Erika followed him like a puppy dog and he told her he wants to put Will on the block. [Note: Really? Will Will shmooze his way with George?]
• Erika told him that Howie and Janelle are in with Chill Town and won't vote Will out – she would go. [Note: Tears! Whine! Fuss! Oh, no! Almost hysterical!]
• George told her not to tell anyone his plans.
• Erika told George she thinks the "secret power" Mike has is the ability to change the nominees. [Note: Well, she got that right.]
• She kept at him for what seemed like a decade as he just wanted to relax in the HOH bathtub.
• Danielle told Mike she thought George would put up Will. Mike said he'd work on it.
• Erika ran to Mike Boogie and Danielle and told them George is planning to put Will on the block. [Note: So much for not telling anyone, huh?]
• She told them not to tell George she told them. [Note: Well, that fixes it.]
• Mike told James George wants Will evicted.
• Will said he's fine with being put up on the block.
• Between flame/clouds with annoying music, Will and Mike Boogie worked their mojo on George – Will with the "it's all okay" act, both with "in your best interest in the game" and so on.
• The next thing you know... WHAM... the POV Ceremony has been held and Will is claiming to have a secret weapon... named Janelle! Howie is on the block and when he goes, Will will have Janelle on his side.
• The Woogie theory is: If Janelle leaves, Howie will be mad. But, if Howie leaves, Janelle will run to the cover of Chill Town.
• Apparently Howie called out all the alliances in the ceremony (which we didn't see).
• Howie told George he promised him he wouldn't be on the block and now he's on the block. Howie told him if it's a tie, he should do the right thing and save him due to the broken promise.
• George told him he couldn't do it to Janelle and there was no one left. [Note: Danielle, Will, Mike...]
• James isn't thrilled. He wanted Janelle on the block.
• Mike told James he was surprised George nominated Howie. They had wanted him to nominate Janelle. James wants to vote for Howie to stay. Mike told him that either way, Janelle and Erika would be out soon – LOD!
• Danielle is just befuddled. She'd like to see George's Diary Room segments because she never knows what he's thinking.
• James told Howie he's probably going home as his only votes are Janelle and himself (James). He said if Chill Town was honest with their alliances, Erika would only get one vote to stay (Danielle).
• Will and Mike told Janelle they'd vote for Howie to stay. [Note: I guess we'll see about that!]
• Janelle is going through hoops studying and practicing – she said she wants to win HOH today. That sounds like the eviction is tonight and Sunday's show will be taped.
• Erika and Danielle are happy with the turn of events. They're sure Erika will stay.
• Will told Danielle James plans to vote out Erika. Danielle said, "That'll be two votes against him right there in the jury." [Note: Does she honestly think James will make the Final Two and she won't?]
• Howie packed his bag. (Sniffle)
• Danielle told Erika James is voting for Howie to stay.
• George talked to Janelle. She told him she didn't care what anyone else did, she'd be voting for Howie to stay.
• For a bit the feeds showed somethiing being set up in the backyard... the HOH comp?  There are gnomes.
• Will told James he should vote to evict Howie to prove he's really in their alliance. He said he had to vote to keep Howie, if nothing else than for the jury votes.
• Will then told Mike they need to vote for Howie to stay if James won't change his vote.
• Will now wants Erika out, Mike wants her to stay. Will says he will keep Janelle's trust if he votes to keep Howie.
• Woogie went to Danielle for advice. As anyone could guess, she wants them to vote out Howie. Of course.
