"Big Brother 4's" stunning specimen of manhood, personal trainer Nathan, was ousted from the house on Wednesday (August 13) by a whopping vote of 5 to 0. Once again, we're surprised at how not surprised we truly are.

Last time, on the "BB4" ponderosa, the "dream team" of the Three Stooges continued to dominate the game. Justin, their leader, won Head of Household during a spirited game of Corridor. He then took the opportunity to nominate Jack and Nathan for eviction, explaining that he feels they've been lying to his face for weeks. Justin's cronies must've felt the same way, as Robert (winner of the Golden Veto) chooses to keep the nominations standing.

You know what Wednesday means, right kids? You got it -- Julie Chen is back and she's covered in glitter. Again. She's also making like Molly Ringwald, wearing a darling little pink number that'll be available in your local Wet Seal this fall. Or not.

Back to the task at hand ... who will be voted out of the house tonight? It's the first time the votes will be cast "live" on "BB4," and Julie seems excited. It's Day 40, and the power is beginning to shift. Nathan, in a last ditch effort to save himself from eviction, begins making the house rounds.

The Three Stooges are slowly realizing just how much power they have over the remaining players. While lounging in the living room, Robert comments to Justin and Jee that the rest of the house is a total mess.

Alison counters by telling the Diary Room that it's "like 'Revenge of the Nerds,' part two" with the Stooges. Either she never saw the actual sequel, or she's giving them a back-handed compliment. Those guys of Lambda Lambda Lambda really pulled through at the end.

There can't be an episode of "BB4" without some sort of politically incorrect interlude. Tonight is no exception. As Alison is doing leg exercises in the living room, Nathan (in his most gentlemanly manner) comments on Ali's "thick legs."

"It's why the black boys love me," says Alison. She should be so lucky.

Later, we find Jun trying to sway Nathan away from Alison's dark side. She can't be trusted, says Jun. Run far, run fast. Nathan instead acts like the brown-nosing 5th grader he is by running straight to Miss Alison to complain about what the other kids said. Short of writing Jun a detention slip, Alison decides to confront her during a pow-wow with the Stooges in the HoH bedroom. Justin then tells Alison to tell Nathan to "stop crying like a little baby." Alison joins in on the game of Telephone by telling Nathan what Justin told her. Nathan then confronts Justin and ... do you sense a trend here?

"You've caused me nothing but grief in this place," Nathan tells Alison. It's the smartest thing we've heard him say all season.

Nathan decides to try and get Justin (and maybe his posse) onto his dwindling team of supporters. He finagles his way into the HoH room one morning to discuss the situation. Alison, meanwhile, decides to eavesdrop in the living room. It's unclear how much she heard, but suffice it to say that Justin is interested. We'll see later that the other Stooges just won't have it.

We're back to Julie in Pink live, as she introduces us to the gussied-up houseguests assembled in the living room. Julie asks Jee how excited he was when the house won laundry service for a full week. Jee reminds us that it may have only happened one day, but he did in fact find a pair of Justin's boxers -- and "they stank like butt."

Thank you, Jee. I wasn't hungry for dinner tonight anyway ... .

Next is one of those cute montages featuring members of a houseguest's family. Nathan's mommy says he was always getting into trouble, "the little booger." There's an embarrassing shot of Nathan calling himself "prime time beef." Are we surprised that Nathan won "Most Handsome" in high school? Or that he's always been a stud, fully in touch with his masculinity and not the least bit gay? Well, maybe a tiny bit, you never know.

Justin talks to Julie as the outgoing Head of Household. He reveals nothing new. Strong with alliance, the Stooges are.

There are only three women left in the house, and they all fulfill a different role. Jun knows that people will want to keep her around if she continues cooking for them. Erika sees her role as a listener/big-sister-type as vital, and a strategy to boot. Ali's been manipulating people with sex appeal since Day One.

"[Alison's] bringing back the women's movement a good 40 or 50 years," says Jun. I think she means "pushing it back," but let's not split hairs.

There's a hilarious ode to the Emmy-caliber crying fits each of the women have had since the inception of the game. Alison couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, Erika is subtle and Jun calls the kettle black. The end.

Finally ... it's time to cast votes. From now on, the eligible voters will enter the Diary Room "live" (except for us losers on the West Coast) and cast their vote for eviction.

By a not-so-stunning vote of 5 to 0, Nathan becomes the second member of the "BB4" jury. Seems that attempt at gaining Justin's favor got him nowhere.

Sitting with Julie, Nathan says he has no regrets and no hard feelings, even though he's disappointed in Alison for playing him as well as she did. At least he's still got his looks. But he's learned not to burn bridges and would be willing to email with Alison in the future. Nice.

Just when you thought the Head of Household competitions couldn't get any more inane, now comes "Steel Cage Match." The remaining houseguests (including a relieved Jack) venture into the backyard, only to find three coops. "We're gonna cage-dance," says Jun. Please, no.

Justin (who can't play) helps the others into the largest cage. The object of the game, if you can call it that, is to work your way into a third cage fit for a German shepherd. Only two people can make it through completely, however. Once there, they'll stand -- without food, drink or sleep -- until one gives in. The last one standing is HoH.

No one understands this except Jack. Big surprise.

As this game could potentially take days, we don't get the benefit of seeing who wins HoH tonight. Tune in on Saturday (a new night this week) as it's revealed who has the power of Eviction in their hot little hands.
