What goes around comes around — Big Brother's Jennifer Vasquez learned that lesson the hard way last Saturday. After she and her Friendship alliance betrayed Kaysar and ousted him on Thursday, Janelle and her posse voted to evict the 27-year-old Arena Football League dancer during a double-elimination week.

The second time was not the charm for Kaysar Ridha in the Big Brother house. The Californian graphic designer earned a new lease on his reality-TV life thanks to winning a whopping 82 percent majority in the America's Choice vote. But his stay turned out to be short-lived when he made a deal with Jennifer and gave her Head of Household in return for his safety. She went back on her word — a popular thing in this game — and put him up for eviction against his pal Janelle, pretty much guaranteeing his permanent ouster. TVGuide.com caught up with Kaysar the day after he was granted freedom from the BB compound to see what he learned this time.
TVGuide.com: Sorry to be talking to you again so soon.Kaysar Ridha: I know, what was it, a week? It's sad, I know.

While Sarah is a bit bummed to be separated from her sweetie, she tells TVGuide.com that she won't miss a minute of his remaining time on the show.
TVGuide.com: Are you going to be watching the rest of this season on TV now?Sarah Hrejsa: I'll definitely have the Internet [feed] on all the time, to keep an eye on what everyone is doing, what James is doing.
