Jane Austen: Welcome back. With the second eviction of the season coming up, the time is coming for everybody in the house to decide where their loyalties lie.
Brandon: (Diary room) I feel that there is a nine in ten chance right now that I will be voted out. I must work quickly if I am to change this.
(Elsewhere, hidden in the pantry, Wickham, Willoughby, Henry and Edmund are in a discussion)
Willoughby: I am worried about the women in this house. I am sure they are determined to unite together and vote us out if they get a chance.
Wickham (diary room) Willoughby and I are ostensibly part of a four-man alliance along with Mr. Crawford and Mr. Bertram. But they do not know that Willoughby and I have struck up our own private deal and are truly loyal only to each other.
Henry: Between the two options, I believe it would be in our best interest at the moment to vote out Miss Bingley. That is one less woman in the house, and I have noted her particularly devoted to Mr. Darcy, who is one of our main threats.
Edmund: I say, all of this is rather difficult for me to keep up with, one is not used to such games. But I do believe that if we tell Col. Brandon that we will campaign to save him, then he will surely feel indebted to us in the future.
(In the parlour, Caroline, Maria and Elinor are playing cards)
Maria: I have grown to like you so, Miss Bingley. I do not know how I shall handle it if you leave us.
Caroline: Do not worry my dear. I have been assured by most everyone in the house that I am merely the pawn. The true target is Col. Brandon. I have nothing to fear.
Elinor: But Miss Bingley, can you really be so calm? People in this house are not always honest. You should spend some time talking to people, making sure they know WHY not to vote you out.
Caroline: How silly, Miss Dashwood. That is totally unnecessary. I am on good terms with everybody here and it would be a degradation to go around begging to be saved.
Elinor: (diary room) I do not care much for the company of Miss Bingley, but right now I need to think of my best strategy. So I have remained amicable with her in hopes she we can work together. But now that she is on the block, it is looking like it was a useless endeavour.
Jane Austen: And now it is time for the live eviction. One by one, the houseguests will go into the diary room to cast their vote in secret. Col. Brandon, Miss Bingley, as the nominees you are not allowed to vote. Miss Bennet, as the Head of Household you will only vote in the case of a tie.
Wickham: I vote to evict Miss Bingley.
Henry: I vote to evict Miss Bingley. Amongst other things, I was growing tired at her complimenting my handwriting.
Lydia: I vote to evict Miss Bingley. I heard she said mean things about my dear Wickham!
Elinor: I vote to evict Col. Brandon.
Maria: I vote to evict Col. Brandon.
Willoughby: I vote to evict Miss Bingley. Although I hear you do have a great fortune, so if things don't work out with Miss Grey, I might yet call on you one day.
Fanny: Oh dear, I must vote for Miss Bingley. Edmund advised me it was the best course of action. I do feel so sorry to have to vote anyone out.
Mary: I vote to evict Col. Brandon.
Darcy: I vote to evict Miss Bingley.
Edward: I regretfully must place my vote to evict for Miss Bingley.
Edmund: I vote to evict Miss Bingley. I pray you will forgive me, but you are the first victim of the four-man alliance.
Jane Austen: The results are in. By a vote of 8 to 3…Miss Bingley…you have been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Caroline: (welling up with tears) Me? No…no! You have betrayed me! How can this be?!
(Elinor, Mary and Maria hug and comfort her, also getting emotional).
Caroline: Farewell. (exits through front door)
Jane Austen: Welcome Miss Bingley. How does it feel to be the second person evicted from the Big Brother house?
Caroline: I am not amused. I see now what untrustworthy villains I was living with. Be it as it may, my conscience is tranquil, and theirs must not be.
Jane Austen: Viewers have noticed you aiming some rather mean remarks to some of your fellow houseguests behind their back, particularly Miss Bennet.
Caroline: And I do not regret it, for I merely spoke the truth, and their conduct has certainly shown it was the truth.
Jane Austen: Well thank you for your time, Miss Bingley…
Caroline: Pray tell, are their any lawyers in your family, Miss Austen? Your dress looks like it come from a shop in Cheapside…
Jane Austen: FAREWELL, MISS BINGLEY! Anyway, it is now time for the next Head of Household competition. Miss Bennet, as current Head of Household, you are not eligible to compete. Today's competition is one simple question. How many ounces of snow were used to cover the yard in the last Power of Veto competition? Please write your answer on the card in front of you and hold it up. The correct answer was 100 ounces. Mr. Crawford, with a guess of 30 ounces, you are the closest. Congratulations, you are the new Head of Household. Who will Mr. Crawford put up for nomination? Who will win the Power of Veto? And will the Veto be used to change one of the nominees? Tune in next time to find out.
