"Big Brother 10": The good, the bad, and the evicted

The eviction ceremony on CBS's Big Brother 10 was aired last night, and on the chopping block were gay rodeo champ Steven and Catholic school teacher Dan.

Excuse me ... just finishing up my slashfic.

I still can't figure out Steven. On the one hand, he made those inexcusable racial and religious remarks, and he lamented the fact that he's only read one book in his life (I guess the twist ending of Green Eggs and Ham traumatized him into illiteracy).

On the other hand, after watching the After Dark show, and some of the live feeds over the last week, there's another side to him. He can come across as warm, funny, and compassionate, and he did have some very meaningful conversations with Dan.

In fact, Dan said that he came into the house with judgmental attitudes about gays, and getting to know Steven has changed him. If that's true, then maybe something good has come out of this season.

The only other housemate of note is resident lunk-a-hunk Jessie, who won the "Head of Household" and was responsible for nominating both Steven and Dan. He's also hilariously self-absorbed, and it wouldn't surprise me if he suddenly started speaking about himself in the third person. And like many a Big Brother housemate before him, it didn't take long for NSFW PICS of him to come out.

See who went home after the break.

Well, as expected, Steven was voted off. It was close though, 9-0 (okay, maybe not so close). Unfortunately, when he was giving his final speech before the votes, he ended it with the command, "Suck it, Bitches!", so I'm not sure that endeared him to anyone (it did, however, make my night, because it was live, and host Julie Chen looked absolutely abhorred).

I guess that does it for this season of Big Brother. With no more gay housemates, there's no reason for us to cover it, unless someone comes out (which isn't likely, Jessie's pics notwithstanding).

For fans of the show, are you sad to see Steven go, or are you breathing a sigh of relief?
