On Thursday's live eviction episode, host Julie Chen commented that week 6 has "been one of the craziest weeks in Big Brother history." No kidding. There were not one, but two Head of Households, a live Power of Veto competition and PoV ceremony, and "best" of all – for dramatics sake – Chima was expelled from the house for ignoring direct orders from Big Brother producers.

The West Hollywood freelance journalist became just the third HouseGuest to be expelled from the game – and the first since the show's fourth series.

Following the eviction of her good friend, Jessie, during last week's live episode and having nothing but bitter things to say about Jeff's decision to use the Power of Coup d'etat, Chima had a total meltdown on Tuesday's show. She refused to comply with BB crew and – among other things – threw her mic in the backyard's hot tub.

After the editors treated us to a "greatest hits" of Chima's difficult behavior ever since she set foot in the house, Chima entered the Diary Room where producers told her there was no need for her to sit down and promptly showed her the exit.

When the episode resumed, Michele's reign as Head of Household concluded and another competition commenced to put the eviction power in someone else's hands. When all was said and done, Southern belle Jordan earned HoH power and nominated rivals Natalie and Lydia for eviction. On Thursday's special live episode, Lydia was given the boot.

As promised, BOP's Big Brother Recap will function a bit differently this week. Instead of rehashing the week's top stories, I'll instead give a rundown on the chances each remaining contestant has in winning the show's $500,000 prize.

You set? Here are my predictions in order from least likely to most likely to win:

Natalie: With Jeff as current HoH, things aren't looking good for the Tae Kwon Do expert from Gilbert, Arizona. She isn't a good friend of any of his allies (Jordan, Michele, Russell) and the past three HoHs – including Jeff when he had the Power of Coup d'etat – have all attempted to get rid of her by nominating her to the Chopping Block. She's practically being groomed for eviction.

Her only hope to safely remain in the game had been for either her or Kevin to win HoH. Neither did. Now all she has to fall back on is a win at the PoV competition. But history is against her in that respect too, as Natalie has failed to win any solo competitions this summer. She may be a former member of the Athletes clique, but she sure is clumsy.
