Big Brother's houseguests evicted Frank Eudy from the game and two new twists were revealed during Thursday night's live Season 18 episode on CBS.

Frank, 32-year-old medical sales representative from Marion, AR, was evicted from the Big Brother house through a unanimous 9-0 vote instead of his closest ally Bridgette Dunning, a 24-year-old traveling nurse who currently resides in Ventura, CA.

The Big Brother broadcast began with Michelle Meyer disclosing to her girlfriends how she regretted not using the Power of Veto on Frank because it meant he would definitely be the house's target this week and then Bridgette would go after her.

Michelle realized she'd be in big trouble if Bridgette won the next Head of Household competition, especially after their little tiff. Keeping Frank in the house would've been good for Michelle's game because he'd make sure Bridgette left her alone.

The houseguests then received a message on the big monitor in the living room: "Clues to the secret are all around you." After some great detective work and figuring out that certain words in the house were written in green and led him to the destination of "Paris," Paul Abrahamian cracked the puzzle.

Paul got inside a phone booth located in the Departures Room and he dialed "P-A-R-I-S" on the phone. He then learned the booth had a door he could open to enter a red tunnel and eventually step into a secret room. Inside that room, there were 12 sealed envelopes scattered about.

Paul discovered that each envelope contained an airlines ticket for a one-way or round-trip ticket. Eleven of the envelopes contained one-way tickets. He got to choose one envelope at random, but if any of the other houseguests figured out the puzzle, they as well could grab an envelope.

Upon getting evicted, host Julie Chen would open that houseguest's envelope live on television, revealing which kind of ticket was chosen. If the person had the round-trip ticket, he or she could immediately re-enter the game and resume competing for the $500,000 grand prize.

Although Paul tried to play it cool and not give too much away in order to ensure Frank's eviction, everyone figured out the puzzle eventually and snagged an envelope.

Julie explained that the last ticket will be opened on the August 18 broadcast, after which the tickets will expire.

After Frank got voted out of the house, Julie opened up his envelope only to reveal a one-way ticket.

In his post-eviction interview, Frank said that announcing Da.Vonne Rogers as his target during a house meeting is what solidified his elimination.

Frank said his "big mouth" hurt him in the game, in addition to being too trusting right off the bat. Frank shared information with people he thought he was close to, like winning the BB Roadkill competitions, but that ultimately made him a threat.

Frank feared the whole house would gang up on Bridgette following his ouster.

Julie revealed that, in another twist, America can vote to send one houseguest a "Big Brother Care Package," which holds an advantage in the game. Each week, a new Care Package can be in play, but home viewers cannot repeat houseguests as recipients. The first package will be announced on the July 31 episode.

The episode concluded with the season's next HoH competition dubbed "Perfect Shot," and James Huling -- as the outgoing Head of Household -- could not compete.

The participating houseguests were required to roll a ball down a squiggly, narrow platform to hopefully land it in a box at the other end. However, if the red ball didn't make it all the way, it would land in a slot from 1-21. The houseguest to get it in the box or earn the highest rank would become the next HoH.

To involve some strategy, the players were allowed to practice as much as they wanted with a yellow ball. The only ball that would count is a red one, so they had to determine how long they wanted to practice.
