‘Big Brother’ Season 24: First House Guest Evicted in a Landslide Vote

Zack Sharf HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel series “House of the Dragon” touched down in Sydney this week for its official Australian premiere, but the event quickly turned controversial after Patrick Delany, the CEO of Australian television company Foxtel, referred to Emilia Clarke as a “short, dumpy girl.” Foxtel, an Australian pay television company, is the country’s home for “Game of Thrones.”As reported by Australian publication Crikey (via Vanity Fair), Delaney was giving a speech ahead of the “House of the Dragon” premiere screening and tried to make a joke about the first time he watched “Game of Thrones.” The CEO said, “I was like, ‘What’s this show with the short, dumpy girl walking into the fire?’” Delaney was referencing Emilia Clarke’s character, Daenerys Targaryen, who famously walks through fire during the series. An attendee at the Sydney premiere told Crikey that “there was a bit of a gasp” after Delany made the comment.A Foxtel spokesperson told Crikey after the event that Delany’s remark was “meant to be self-deprecating.” The company issued a statement that reads: “The aim was to convey that for him, ‘Games of Thrones’ was something very different for television in 2011 and that Emilia Clarke went from relatively unknown to one of the most recognized and most-loved actors in television and film.“On behalf of Mr Delany, the Foxtel Group apologies if his remarks were misunderstood and caused any offense,” the statement concluded.Since “House of the Dragon” takes placed hundreds of years before “Game of Thrones,” Clarke is not involved in any capacity with the new HBO prequel series.

Australian news outlet Crikey reports that not only were people offended, but one attendee said “there was a bit of a gasp” after the comment. Another said, “It felt like he was expecting us to laugh along, but people in the room were obviously shocked by it.” A spokesperson for the company, which aired “Game of Thrones” in Australia, later apologized for Delany’s remark: “The Foxtel Group apologies if his remarks were misunderstood and caused any offense….

Telling her side of the story. After exiting Big Brother early due to her mental health, Paloma Aguilar addressed both on and off-screen moments.

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.

Misplaced blame? Big Brother 24 houseguest Paloma Aguilar revealed that it wasn’t her fellow cast members who forced her into an early exit — it was the game itself.

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.
