Who saw this coming? Rebecca-- winner of FNL and holder of the Eviction Twist --first repaid Travis for saving her last week by removing him from the Nomination line-up, but then she, herself, fell into the bottom three. Then, with double points to evict, chose herself as the next evictee with her 4 point advantage.
In the Daily Show from Friday night when Rebecca found out she was in the bottom 3, she confided in Brigitte that she would definitely save herself and she really wanted to be in the House. So enough happened in that weekend to make her want to leave.
In the past, one of the rules of nominations was that HMs could not nominate themselves. Either BB was not expecting anyone to choose to evict themselves and did not have a comeback for her, or BB really doesn't care who their points go to now, as long as they give reasons. And really, it is the ultimate strategic vote. With the strategy to let anyone other than yourself win!
As it turns out, if Rebecca hadn't voted for herself, and given her 4 points to Ben and 2 to Rory, she still would have been the evictee of the night. Results would have ended up Rebecca 18, Ben 17, Rory 7.
The result probably worked out for the best, too. I'm sure that Ben will become a great HM later in the series if he survives. He seems really funny but needs a smaller audience for his quiet voice to be heard and appreciated. Rory is a loud, dominant male, and without him the only alpha male left will be Nobbi, ruling over all the quieter boys.
Rebecca was leading the bitchfest. Over the weekend we saw all combinations of the girls in little groups, talking about the others, then moving into different little groups and talking with the ones they just bitched about, about the others. Rebecca was separating a lot of the groups of girls, and now with her gone, Dixie is the one doing it, which will be noticed and she will be dealt with soon.
The other HMs will never know during their stay that Rebecca sacrificed herself for their sakes. The question that will probably never be answered is, if she hadn't been evicted tonight, would she have still gone out of her way to leave?
