Day 03- Eviction
#3 of Big Brother: The Trial
Michael and Teresa only have a few hours left before the inevitable eviction. Either way, it's gonna be Gina or Michael that leaves.
Brandon, Jill, and Will (aka the Triumphant Trio) are in the bedroom discussing the eviction. "So, who do you think needs to leave?" Brandon asks.
"Michael, for sure." Will says.
"Absolutely. He tried to get me out." Jill says. "He's got a personal vendetta against us."
"Ok. But what about Gina," Brandon continues, "There's got to be a reason to evict her. Right?" The vixen and the shepherd thought about it for a second, but they shook their head 'no'. They didn't see and reason to eliminate Gina just yet. Plus, they also had the prize for winning the trial on their mind. Whoever wins gets $2500 and a chance to be on the real show.
Michael and Gina came in the room a few minutes later. The nominees are required to pack their thing to prepare to leave. Brandon, Jill, and Will got up and left. Michael sat on his bed, ears pinned down as he grabbed his bag. Gina, on the other hand, was upset, but she kept her cool unlike the green fox.
"I can't believe they're gonna send me home!" Michael said to Gina.
"Relax, Mike, nothing's official yet." Gina said.
"Gina! It's obvious they have a three person alliance. And now that they're getting me out, we have have no chance to win the Trial."
"Not necessarily, if we win HoH next, we have a chance."
"Barely. We'd have to win 3 HoH's to get them out. Do you know how hard that will be?"
"Hard, but not impossible."
"Well, no matter what happens, you and Teresa have to win. There is no other option. If you lose, you kiss your chances of winning goodbye." Gina thought about what Michael was saying. Teaming up with the Collie? Seems odd, especially at this point in the game. What did she have to lose? Apparently her game according to Mike.
The green fox waited for her to respond. Eventually she said, "Ok. I'm in. I'll help Teresa the best I can." The Dalmatian zipped up her bag indicating she's done packing. She leave Michael all by himself and goes to find Teresa. She finds her quickly; let's face it, it's not a very big house. Teresa sits on the couch, doing nothing. Gina approaches her and taps on her shoulder.
"Teresa?" Gina whispers.
"What? What's going on?" Teresa asks.
"Shhhhh! Listen, Michael just told me we need to stick together."
"Huh? What're you talking about?"
"He thinks it's obvious that he's leaving. And that if we don't stick together, we're going home next."
"You must've heard they have a 3-way alliance. But there's no way we can beat them. They are very strong people. How are we going to beat them?"
"It's possible. There are three types of competitions in Big Brother: endurance, skill, and quizzes. I'm very intelligent which could help when it comes to questions. What about you?"
"I don't know." Teresa said. "I don't know what I'm good at."
"Yes you do! I'm sure you'll be great in this next HoH. You were in the last one."
"Fine. But what about Michael, I don't want him to leave." Teresa pins her ears down.
"If you want to vote me out to make you feel better that's fine," Gina assures her, "But if Mike ends up leaving, we need to stick together."
"Thanks." The two share a quick hug and Gina leaves.

In the kitchen, Brandon sits with Jill. Will went to take a shower. He swears that that boy takes one right before something good happens. "So, tell me about what goes on in your life?" Brandon asks.
"What do you mean?" Jill asks.
"I mean, what you do at your house. What do you like to do?"
"Well... Sometimes me and my twin brother like to go fishing."
"You have a brother?"
"Three. Two older ones and a twin."
"Lucky you. I'm an only child."
"Trust me, having two older brother is not fun."
"True, but it's probably more fun than working at a gas station that barely anyone's heard of all day."
"Oh c'mon, there's gotta be something interesting about working there."
Brandon thought about his career back home. "Well, I get 7% off of all gas I get there."
"Haha, silly wolf. Anything else?" Jill was enjoying her conversation with Brandon.
"Well, there was a time in which I stopped a robbery." What Brandon said shocked Jill a lot.
"You helped stop a robbery? How?"
"Well, these two guys with masks came into the store. One held me at gunpoint while the other grabbed anything he could find off the shelves and into his bag; soda, candy, donuts, cigarettes, you name it. While the gunman turned his head. I grabbed the gun, pushed it out of my face and then kicked him in the chest, knocking him down. I took the gun, put it in the trash then flipped it upside down and sat on it while the hostages in the store held the two criminals down. Eventually the cops did come and arrest the two guys. It was pretty much one of the scariest moments of my life."
"Well, that's... Wow." Jill was surprised that Brandon just told this crazy story.
"Yeah. I don't really like to talk about it much. The only reason I said it to you was because I feel like I can trust you with this."
"And you can. But seriously, that must've been scary."
"It's was. But the last thing I need is sympathy. I already had enough of that the day it happened."

The bell went off. Everyone heard it and frantically went to the living room. Brandon opened the mailbox. Inside was a red envelope. He opened it up and read it to his housemates. "Gina, Michael, hope you enjoyed the last few days because it's time for the first eviction to begin. Before we start the voting, you both get a chance to make your final pleas or last words to your housemates. Gina goes first." Brandon sat on the couch.
Gina stood up from the nomination chair and spoke. "Well, it's been an awesome 3 days. I hope you vote for me to stay because I feel like I haven't gotten a chance to prove myself yet; but if I leave, I'll walk out knowing I had one of the greatest times ever." She sits down and Michael stands up.
"Guys! You need me in this game! Not only is there an alliance with half the house, but they're just gonna eliminate you the first chance they get. No offense Gina, you're an awesome person, but I feel like I should stay for that reason." He sits back down.
"Thanks nominees," Brandon continues reading, "one at a time, Jill, Teresa and Will will go to the voting room and proceed to vote one of the nominees out of the game. Jill you're first."
Jill gets out of her seat, goes around the couch and opens the door that leads to the voting room. She goes in through a second door that's in front of the first. There's a purple couch and two buttons in front of her. One has a picture of Michael under it and the other has Gina. Jill is barely hesitant as she hits the Michael button. She gets up to leave.
Once she's in the living room, it's Teresa's turn. Once she goes into the voting room, she sees the button. "This one's obvious." She says. Teresa votes to evict Gina.
When Will enters the voting room, he already knows what he needs to do. He pushes the Michael button and leaves.
Once all the votes are in, the mailbox goes off again and Brandon gets the envelope. This one is also red. He opens it up; the voting results are inside. The HoH is required to read them out loud. "With 2 votes against 1..." Brandon flips the card over so the others can see, "Michael. You've been voted out, dude."
Michael's heart drops into his chest and pins his ears down. Both nominees stand up. Michael turns to Teresa and hugs her tight. "Win with Gina, ok?" He whispers. She nods. Michael goes over to the front door he just entered three days ago and grabs his bag, which has all of his belongings. He waves his housemates goodbye and they applause for him as he walks out the front door. When it closes, there's now only 5 people left in the Trial. Everyone goes into the kitchen where the memory wall has pictures of the 6 players. Specifically they look at Michael's. The picture turns black and white leaving the rest in color. Also, the label underneath the picture disappears.
There's 5 left in the Trial. It's three against two, Teresa thought, and I'm gonna win for you Michael.
