— 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.

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.
