DESPITE TIRELESS CAMPAIGNING, KRISTEN IS UNABLE TO SECURE ENOUGH VOTES TO SAVE HERSELF AND BECOMES THE FOURTH HOUSEGUEST TO BE EVICTED FROM "BIG BROTHER" BY A VOTE OF 6-1

After being awarded with a “hippie-tard” in this week’s POV competition, Kristen, the 24-year-old shoe boutique manager from Philadelphia, fell to the BIG BROTHER costume curse and was evicted from the house during Thursday night’s live broadcast by a vote of 6-1.Â Kristen’s departure marks a recurring theme among past contestants who have not fared well in the game after being relegated to wearing a costume inside the house.Â Following her eviction, she was interviewed by Julie Chen about the experience.

After last night’s BIG BROTHER eviction, the Houseguests competed for Head-of-Household in the endurance competition, “True Colors.” Â Houseguests stood on the ledge of a giant revolving paint can while being knocked with a large paint brush and sprayed with paint. The first to fall off the ledge will become the one and only “Have Not” for the week, while the last man/woman standing will be the next HOH. Â Results will be revealed during Sunday night’s broadcast.

The Houseguests:

Lane Elenburg, Decatur, Texas

Ragan Fox, Los Angeles, Calif.

Andrew Gordon, Miami Beach, Fla. – Eliminated July 29

Britney Haynes, Huntington, Ark.
