Big Brother featured a special live double eviction during Thursday night's twentieth broadcast of the show's sixteenth season on CBS.

Jocasta Odom, a 33-year-old minister from Griffin, GA, who currently resides in Lovejoy, GA, and Hayden Voss, a 21-year-old pedicab driver from Marlborough, MA, who currently resides in Long Beach, CA, were both evicted from the Big Brother house and became the first two members of the season's nine-person jury.

Thursday night's episode began with Derrick Levasseur, Hayden Voss and Cody Calafiore agreeing that Zach Rance needed to go and they had Caleb Reynolds on their side to help blindside him.

Frankie Grande walked in on a conversation and started to worry Cody, Zach and Derrick were working together. Frankie still hoped Derrick was loyal to "Team America," which also included Donny Thompson. Derrick wanted to reassure Frankie he's loyal, so he discussed how the guys wanted Zach out since he was making promises to so many people.  

Frankie, however, disagreed. He argued that it made no sense to evict Zach this early on, but it was obvious the "Detonators" alliance had lost trust in Zach. Derrick tried to convince Frankie that Zach was probably playing him and then Caleb that Zach should be the next to go. Like Frankie, Caleb suggested Zach was a number -- a vote -- for their alliance, and so it would be a dumb move to evict him at this point.

Caleb's point registered with Derrick, who admitted in a confessional, "Zach is a snake, but he's my snake."

Instead of targeting Zach then, Derrick decided to expose Nicole Franzel and Hayden Voss. If he went after Zach, it was almost guaranteed Frankie and then Christine Brecht would be next, leaving him with no alliance. Derrick and Cody realized they should keep Zach because Nicole was probably just aiming to get the strong guys out of the house.

Cody then revealed to Christine how Nicole had planned to backdoor Frankie if she had utilized her Power of Veto. Christine was also shocked to learn that Nicole and Hayden wanted herself and Frankie out next. Cody also shared such information with Frankie, saying that if they voted to evict Zach, they'd be playing right into Nicole and Hayden's hands.

Big Brother host Julie Chen then revealed to the houseguests there would be a double eviction that night -- but that wouldn't mean those people are necessarily out of the game for good.

With six votes, Jocasta was evicted from the Big Brother house. Only Donny and Hayden had attempted to vote Zach out, which is what Nicole -- as the Head of Household -- was hoping for.

Afterward, the houseguests competed in a math-themed Head of Household competition. Nicole, as the outgoing HoH, was deemed ineligible to participate. In the end, Caleb was crowned the new HoH.

Caleb chose to nominate Hayden and Donny, as it became clear at that point lines had been drawn.

Donny, however, ended up winning the rubber ducky-themed Power of Veto competition. As a result, Donny took himself on the chopping block, forcing Caleb to name a replacement nominee. Caleb therefore nominated Nicole.

Before voting commenced, Hayden and Nicole both gave their speeches of why they deserved to stay in the house. Both individuals took the opportunity to throw people under the bus, especially Frankie and Christine for "planting seeds since Day 2" and Zach for playing a great game. Nicole announced that people were "playing dirty" and Frankie and Christine had been gunning to get out Zach. 

Hayden was evicted from the house via a 5-2 vote. Cody and Donny had voted to evict Nicole.
