After being nominated for eviction by Jennifer Dedmon (aka "Nakomis"), the seventh Head of Household, Natalie Carroll was evicted last night from the Big Brother 5 house by her fellow houseguests.

On Tuesday, her twin sister Adria Klein, who was also on the nomination block, won the Power of Veto and chose to save herself. Jennifer filled the empty spot with her half-brother Michael Ellis (aka "Cowboy").
Natalie received four votes for eviction from houseguests Karen O'Neil Ganci, Diane Henry, and Drew Daniel. Adria voted to evict Michael. Jennifer was ineligible to vote as Head of Household.
During last night's live broadcast, the fitness professional from Birmingham, AL, learned her fate, said her good-byes and left the house. After leaving Big Brother 5, Natalie was interviewed by Julie Chen about her experience.
Following Natalie's interview, the remaining houseguests competed in the "Putting For Power" golf putting competition to determine who would become the next Head of Household. Despite the existence of what appeared to be a scoring error on CBS's part -- during the first-round semifinals, Karen's golf ball appeared to drop to the bottom of the hole first (which Julie had announced was the goal) while Marvin's appeared to still be circling around the inside of the hole after Karen's had dropped -- Marvin, the 36-year-old mortician from Conway, SC, ultimately won the coveted position.

With the victory, Marvin became the house's second two-time Head of Household winner, following Nakomis, whose second reign ended with Marvin's win.
