we saw Matt Chelsia and Joshua in the Jury house... what is it and why arent the other housemates in there??

[Matt]

James will have arrived after his eviction earlier this week.

No other HouseGuests have been sent to the jury house yet. Three of the remaining HouseGuests will be moving there upon their evictions.

Only the last seven evictees prior to the final are sent to the jury house.

Matt, Chelsia, Joshua (and now James) are all members of the Jury.

They live in the Jury House, which is a secret house. They are allowed no contact with the outside world. They only get to watch HOH, Veto and eviction ceremonies.

At the end of the show, when only two housemates remain. The seven members of the jury will decide who should win BB.

so the earlier housemates that were evicted before matt don't have a say in the winner. ok i understand now

Yes. Any housemate evicted before Matt have just gone home.
They will be at the final, but wont get a vote to decide who should win.

yes they get sequestered,so they dont have any influence from the outside world before deciding. They only get to see hoh competitions,veto competitions and eviction ceremonies

i would have thought it would be better to let all housemates get a vote oh well its all good anyway

Why it is the last seven evicted houseguests specifically I don't know, but as far as I know they always have an odd number of evictees on the jury so as to avoid the possibility of a tie on final night.
