Candice Stewart Evicted from ‘Big Brother’
(I totally missed this when it happened. In face I didn’t even know Candice as on the show. She’s a former New Orleans Saintsation, Houston Texans Cheerleader and Miss Louisiana USA.)

Former Saintsation and Miss Louisiana USA Candice Stewart was one of two “Big Brother” contestants eliminated from the CBS reality game show Thursday (Aug. 8). The other, in a surprise: Judd Daugherty.
Now a pediatric speech therapist and pageant coach in Houston, Stewart, a Xavier University graduate, joins the “jury” of evicted players that will vote on the season’s winner.
It was an unpleasant exit for her, by unanimous vote by her fellow contestants, though her later interview with Julie Chen went somewhat better. Stewart has been the target of racist remarks by her fellow contestants this season, and CBS’ response to that atmosphere sparked a controversy, which continues. It will be the issue the season is remembered for, no matter who wins. Meanwhile, the controversy has been good for the show’s ratings.
“I felt like the game got really personal this week,” Stewart told Chen. “I don’t let people talk about me.”
