Sometimes on, it's better to go down in a blaze of glory than shuffle off with a whimper — and that is exactly how things when down on Thursday's live eviction night.In an episode that easily could have been disappointingly predictable, some unexpected moments of last-ditch gameplay and interesting twists spiced things up.So, who wound up getting sent packing? Otherwise, here's how everything that led up to and played out during Thursday's live show.After last week's beautifully executed blindside eviction of Nicole Layog, her ride-of-die (who was also accidentally instrumental in her eventual eviction) Daniel Durston realized there was no one in the house he could trust and essentially spiraled.He got into a very public, wildly passive-aggressive argument with Monte Taylor, whom he accused of manipulating Nicole's eviction — despite the fact that Monte told him repeatedly not to change the nominations, which Daniel ignored.The only chance Daniel had to survive was to win the Head of Household competition. The challenge involved running along a thin rail without falling off the fastest.

That’s what you call a blindside. Ameerah Jones had no idea she was being voted out of the Big Brother 24 house before her live eviction on Thursday, July 28.

— and for fans watching at home — there's been more than the usual fair share of the unexpected.Thursday's live eviction episode was jam-packed with drama and some surprising twists that left some houseguests in tears and others sick to their stomachs, apparently.So, who wound up getting sent packing? Scroll down for the big reveal. Otherwise, here's how everything played out during Thursday's live show.Fresh off the heels of Wednesday's dramatic episode, the house was still reeling from a heated confrontation between Taylor Hale and Daniel Durston in which Daniel screamed at Taylor, somehow blamed her for Paloma Aguilar's self-eviction, and left Taylor in tears.Daniel's tantrum — in concert with his ride-or-die, final-two-pact pal Nicole Layog's cold treatment of Taylor — played a big part in Taylor being brought into a brand new pact of houseguests who feel they've been left out by some of the louder, more self-assured players.
