Hi, I'm Julie Chen.
Welcome to "Big Brother."
days ago, people moved into the "Big Brother" house.
Last week, the houseguests nominated
William and Jordan for banishment,
and tonight, one of them will leave.
Which one will it be?
Find out on this live edition of "Big Brother."
[music playing]
All week, the houseguests have been
anxiously awaiting tonight's big moment,
and there's a lot to deal with.
Last night, tension was at an all time
high, as the houseguests were preparing to finish
their bicycle challenge.
Limited in some areas.
Yeah, I suppose.
To get back at me, you'd [muted] everybody.
You're not worth it.
Yeah, you've already done it once, will.
You was the one with the [muted]
when it came to the bike.
Yeah, I suppose so.
miles and running.
Eddie, Superman.
That's right.
You hyped that [muted] up, like you
really were able to do that.
I hyped it up.
You're absolutely right.
What you talking [muted] for?
I ain't talking [muted] I'm telling it like it is.
Talk last [muted] Why you want to [muted] this week?
Keep talking.
Man, come on, Will.
I wouldn't be talking [muted] if you didn't do it last week.
Come on, Will.
You know what it is.
Yeah, I do.
That's why I've got to say it.
What you waiting so late for?
You [muted] us all last week.
Why don't you [muted] us again this week?
All right, well, if that's how you want it,
I'll give you what you want.
Cassandra said not to let them be alone
together anywhere tomorrow.
Eddie and Will?
Jordan and Will?
And Will.
Really?
She said that?
Why?
Just because they planned something?
I don't know.
This is so-- we're adults.
We're flipping adults here, and we
have to patrol two people to make sure they don't
do something bad to the house?
Ain't nobody said it was going to be easy being here.
Nope.
It's not in the contract.
We could always make it harder.
We can make it harder.
It's all up to you, Eddie.
Really?
It's all up to you.
You telling me I should watch what I say around you,
because you might come out here and [muted] it up?
Threatening me?
I don't make threats.
Oh, you just keep promises?
Is that right, Will?
You're interpreting.
You're interpreting.
Oh, OK.
I don't make any threats.
It's just a pissing match now, Will.
It's whatever.
It's competition time.
It's a pissing match.
Not even competition.
This could be a happy place.
This could be a fun place.
Problem is one still left tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
I--
No, say it.
I can get along with Will better.
I-- and I-- then he--
he is kind of the same way all the time.
You know, just--
Because he's consistent, at least.
It's the people that are going to go--
that kind of suck you in, give you this little smile and suck
you in, and then, all of a sudden,
stab you in the back, you know, when you're not looking.
And then they suck you in again, and then
they do it over and over again.
I'm sorry, those are the people that I don't trust.
I know I'm here working.
That's what I know.
You're sitting there on your a*s with your feet
all over the place like you own the joint.
That's what I know.
Well, unfortunately, you can't do the same.
Unfortunately.
So don't hate.
Oh, I ain't hating, Will.
I think you know that.
I think these people here know that, Will.
No, not exactly.
So why did you say you came here again, Eddie?
Let's see.
For money.
What people do for money.
Why did you come here, Will.
Come to keep it real?
Show the world your people have suffered?
Some [muted] like that?
Nah, I came here advocating for crippled rights.
And he works with children?
He's setting an example?
He's a counselor for kids?
Good lord, those kids have no hope if he's their counselor.
They probably leave more screwed up than they
were when they got there.
I would think.
Girls, these walls are not soundproof.
Pipe down?
These walls are not soundproof.
I didn't hear that.
Oh, he can hear me?
Yeah.
Here he comes.
Oh God, this is going to be interesting.
Let's get some things straight.
OK.
It's because of this chick that you talking what you
talking, because she decided to open her
mouth and say [muted] about me.
I didn't.
Excuse me.
When you talking about what's going on, talking about it's
immature, that I'm putting things in jeopardy
and [muted] like that.
You're being immature because you're, like,
flipping out about something. - No.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You're going on what she's telling you.
My thing is with Eddie.
Me and him been going back and forth.
Me and him.
The stares, the daggers, the whole nine.
It's immature to make a big scene about nothing.
Where was the big scene?
Well, Will, it's like you use intimidation and you use your--
There's no-- I don't-- what are people intimidated by?
What are you intimidated by? - Will--
- My tongue? - You--
You got tongues.
You say what you want to say.
If you're intimidated, that's your fault.
You talk over people, so they can't
get out what they want to say. - Oh, because I talk loud.
You talk louder. You--
Me and him have had fair exchange.
He's said what he needed to say.
I'm saying it's immature.
I've said what I needed to say.
You're years old. This is immature.
- What are you talking about? - We're supposed to be adults.
What's immature? What are you talking about?
This is a [muted] competition.
It's immature to lose the challenge and go dead,
dead, dead.
It's immature to say the sh*t you say to me.
It's immature to, like, giggle with Jordan and run around.
That's what you think.
It's immature to giggle with Jordan?
And say mean things.
It's immature to have a conversation with somebody
and enjoy one another's humor?
When it's at somebody else's expense, it's immature.
At whose expense?
At whose expense?
Other people that you're making fun of.
That's what you're assuming.
OK, Will, I think you're immature.
Well, you're entitled to that.
Wait, what do you care what I think?
- You're entitled to that. - Is my opinion that important?
You're entitled to that.
Good, I think you're immature.
I want to say what I want to say.
You're entitled to think what you want to think.
And I don't think you're setting a good example.
I'm not here to set an example.
You told me you were here to set an example
on more than one occasion.
Yes, but I understand life and reality has people
deal with people like that. - Obviously, you don't.
You have a problem with a lot of people in this house.
You can't even get along in a small society.
No, no. That's what you think.
That's what you think.
Yeah, that's what I think.
It's not my responsibility to get
along in this [muted] house.
This is not real.
This is not the real world.
This is [muted] competition.
And competition it is.
Right now, I'm going to let the houseguests know
we're getting close to the announcement
they've all been waiting for.
Houseguests, good evening.
This is Julie, your host.
Is everyone in the living room? - Hi.
- Yeah. - Yeah, we're here.
Oh, Jordan, you're smiling.
How--
Yes, I am.
And William, I think I see a smile on your face.
How are the two of you doing tonight?
I'm focused, man.
Lift up those shades for a second.
[laughter]
JULIE: All right.
Well, William, Jordan, I assume both of you have your bags
packed.
Is that correct?
That is correct.
JULIE: William?
That's correct.
JULIE: OK, how's everyone else doing?
The rest of you look pretty relieved tonight.
At least, more relieved than last week.
Well, maybe not you, Karen.
Now, I just want to--
[laughter] there you go.
Now, I just want everyone to know that in a few minutes,
we will be making the big announcement.
So just hang in there, and I promise you the suspense will
come to an end soon enough.
OK? - All right.
Oh, that's right.
They've got to do it in--
JULIE: All right, be back in a minute.
First, a quick update on how the banishment process works.
Last week, each of the houseguests
stepped into the soundproof red room
and nominated two of their own to leave.
And as you saw last Thursday, live, William and Jordan
received the most nominations.
Then, it was your turn.
All week long, our viewers have been calling
a special number, and the voting ended
at noon, Eastern time, today.
And tonight, the person who received the most votes
will be banished.
In a few moments, you'll know if it's William or Jordan.
Now for the past week, Jordan has been under a lot of stress,
not only because she's been nominated for banishment,
but also because of a secret she tried to keep, but couldn't.
I'm a very aggressive, competitive person.
Like, three times today, she was knocking on models.
Oh.
Like, come on, man, you know my [muted]
girlfriend's a model.
Why you got to be stupid?
You guys just are so hard on me.
I feel that you've been very condescending and snappish,
and that you treat me like you're better than me.
The reality is I'm in this house with nine people,
and like, half of them don't like me.
It's not that I don't like you or anything.
I just-- I never--
I felt like when I first met you,
I felt like you just kind of looked at me,
and that's what I told them in the red room.
Like, you're a different personality than me,
and we did--
it takes a while to get to know people.
If a woman is using her sexuality as a waitress
to get better tips, versus a woman who is an exotic dancer,
what's the difference there?
Well, I can't say that I would want
my little two-year-old niece to grow up to be a stripper.
But if your life has been so bad where
that's the only thing you have left to count on,
then I don't see--
I'm not going to look down on you for it.
Are you going to tell anyone about your thing?
Maybe I'll tell people, like, after they've
known me for a couple of weeks.
But if I come right off, you know--
I'm so curious to know what your secret is.
You going to tell me? Tell me.
I won't tell anyone.
I promise you.
Tell me.
This is obviously still bothering you so badly.
Karen, there's something-- it's deeper than this.
It's a lot deeper than just the nomination.
The reason why I've been stressed out is because I was--
I mean, as crude as it sounds, I was a stripper,
and I was paranoid about telling anyone about it.
I really, really want to make my parents proud of me,
and telling--
telling my parents that I was a stripper for two years
is, like-- it's like the biggest slap in the face.
My parents totally accepted me.
They totally accepted me for who I was,
and it was just one of the most beautiful things in the world.
[music playing]
Joining me now are Jordan's boyfriend, Ben,
and her sister, Elizabeth.
Ben and Elizabeth, thanks for coming in.
You just said to me, as we were watching that, my sister
looks really stressed.
Mm-hm.
She looks really nervous.
I think the confinement that she's
been under for the past two weeks
is really starting to get to her.
She's a very active person, and being in a small house
with a large group of people, I think, is really
starting to create some emotion within her,
due to the stress of that.
Ben, do you agree with that?
Yeah, I do.
Jordan is a very expressive person--
outgoing.
And I think that people inside the house
are very laid back and relaxed, which can make it very
hard for her to communicate.
I think that's the cause-- like, the reason for the meltdown.
OK.
Ben and Elizabeth, thank you so much for coming in.
Now, there is no doubt over the past two weeks,
that Jordan has tried to confront a lot of her fears.
And with us now is our health and relationship
specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Dr. Drew, good evening.
Thanks for coming in again. - Thank you.
Appreciate it, Julie.
Now, why do you think Jordan seems
to be so emotionally fragile?
I agree with what her sister just said.
I think confinement is a big issue to her.
I think it makes her feel powerless,
and she's a woman who's used to using activity
as a way of feeling good about herself,
and as a way of managing feelings.
Those are an option she does not have when she's so confined.
Do you think it is possible that Jordan chose
to go into the "Big Brother" house as a way
to fess up to her parents about being an exotic dancer?
I don't think so.
I think she would say no.
Certainly, she had to have known that this
was going to be an issue.
But I think, Julie, she told us a couple nights ago on the show
that she came to learn and change.
And God bless her, she really has.
She's shown a lot of strength.
She's been having some very heavy feelings,
but has hung in, and is really trying to change.
And I think she will.
And what's really interesting is that she told Jamie,
before going in the "Big Brother" house, she thought,
who cares what everyone thinks?
And now she's in this house.
She's realized she totally cares.
What's that all about?
I think so.
I think that's part of the change
that she's willing to go through.
She's willing to be more honest.
She's willing to look at her feelings more accurately
and fess up to them.
So she's finding the true Jordan?
We're finding the true Jordan.
We'll see how much of it she knows.
OK. Dr. Drew.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
And we're back after this.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Coming up next, the two sides of William.
The flirt.
This guy's only got one thing on his mind, ladies.
NARRATOR: And the fighter. - Understand.
Stop talking, OK? Because you're irritating the--
[muted] out of me.
And you're only worried about your [muted] feelings.
[music playing]
Welcome back.
As you just saw a few moments ago,
William has been the most outspoken from the beginning,
and it has led to confrontations with the others.
What are you doing in here?
What do you mean, what am I doing in here?
- This is our room. - According to who?
I put my bag over there as soon as I walked in.
You can't stay here.
This is a girls room.
Why?
No rules that say it's a girls room and that a guys room.
Is our chicken dead?
I don't know, but he ain't looking good.
People eat chicken every day.
Now they're crying over a dead chicken.
Then they're going to come in here eating
a dead cow and a dead fish.
That's ridiculous.
You're kicking me to the curb.
I ain't kicking nobody to no curb.
You're making me feel like the oddball.
I'm not making nobody feel like the oddball.
Excluded.
I'm just rolling with the flow.
Oh, so I'm not in the flow?
You can roll with the flow if you want to, too.
How can I roll with the flow?
Because then you're looking for problems.
Then you're looking for [muted] You're
looking for problems, then.
I ain't looking for no problems.
- Yes, you are. - Not at all.
You are.
- Not at all. - OK.
When you--
She is one of my best friends and I
don't want you to say that.
Well, that's what you think, right?
But what you don't understand--
You know what?
Just stop talking, OK?
Because you're irritating the [muted] out of me.
Engage in this conversation.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You want to engage in this conversation,
and you're only worried about your [muted] feelings.
You're using everybody else for your own entertainment.
I'm trying to get people to open up.
People are opening up, but they're reacting to you
in a certain way, because they think you're
a certain kind of brother.
You want to [muted] me, you come over here and you
[muted] me on this side.
You don't [muted] everybody.
It wasn't one person.
You don't [muted] everybody.
I do whatever the [muted] I want.
That's Ret*rded.
That's Ret*rded.
You Ret*rded. That's what you think it is.
I think you need to be smarter,
more educated than that.
It don't have nothing to do with being
educated or being smarter.
It's a method to the madness, dog.
It's a method to the madness.
[music playing]
Joining me now is William's girlfriend, Naiema.
Naiema, thanks for coming in.
Oh, no problem.
Is William that outspoken with you?
Yes.
I mean, he's honest about his feelings.
He doesn't hold his tongue.
That's just the type of person that he is.
What do you think of that quality in him?
I think it's good in some ways,
because you never have to guess with him.
He's straight up about everything
that he's thinking and everything that he's feeling,
so I mean, there is some type of comfort in that,
in that he's being sincere.
JULIE: OK, I could see that.
You miss him?
Yes.
Yes, of course I do.
Enough to the point where maybe
you're secretly hoping he gets banished
tonight, or not that much?
No, I'm not going to say that I want him to get banished.
I wouldn't want that for him.
But you know, of course I miss him.
But I get to watch him on TV, so it's OK.
JULIE: Well, I think it's safe to say--
it's fair to say that William has
done his share of flirting with some of the women in the house.
Mm-hm.
We put together some of the clips of that,
and I'm curious to see your reaction.
So let's look at the video.
OK.
So I have, like, a really crappy,
little butt, in your eyes.
Let me see.
Turn around.
It's flat as [muted].
No, it's not!
Compared to the sisters.
You got some heels?
No.
No heels?
Not with me.
Not with you?
Why would I bring heels?
Well, then you've got to do you hair in a different style.
Wear something real nice.
I'm not good enough just the way I am?
Hm?
I'm not good just the way I am?
Yeah, we want to do something special.
Wear something real nice, and I'm going to throw
on something real nice. - Don't say anything.
You look marvelous.
You really do.
Don't anything to yourself at this hour in the morning.
Come on, come on, come on.
Give me a break.
What's up, fat a*s girl?
Let me see.
Turn around.
Let me check it.
It hasn't grown yet.
That is awesome.
Oh, baby!
[laughter]
You know, out of all the people in the house,
I think you're probably the last person I would vote out.
You know why?
Because you're so gorgeous.
I need something beautiful to look at-- someone
beautiful to look at.
Let me see.
No.
You cheating on me?
Yeah.
Shame on you.
Let me see.
Hey, America can see, but you can't.
Can I please be rescued from this?
Rescued?
From this whole thing.
[music playing]
Now Naiema, I don't know about you,
but if Will was my girlfriend, this is the face
that would be greeting him.
[laughter]
What do you think of that?
What we just showed you.
I mean, everybody who went into that show
came in with a strategy.
And he knows that being a charming man,
he can use that to gain the favor of some
of the people in the house.
I think that that's what you saw, the tactics there.
I mean, him massaging Karen--
well, he's a masseuse, so he does that.
- Right. - He does it well.
But as far as everything else is concerned,
I think that was just tactic.
JULIE: You are a very understanding
girlfriend, Naiema.
Thanks for coming in.
We're back after this.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Up next, the moment of truth.
What if you go?
Then I'm going to be here.
Who am I going to hang out with?
NARRATOR: Who will it be?
William or Jordan?
We break the news live, when we come back.
Here are the results of the latest America
Online internet poll.
The question-- which houseguest would you most like to date?
Number three, Eddie, with %.
Number two, Jordan, with %.
And number one, Josh, with % of the vote.
Thanks for taking part.
So the majority of those polled want to date Josh.
I'm sure Josh will be happy to hear that.
Now, even though none of the houseguests
have started dating in the house,
they sure do spend a lot of time in front of that bathroom
mirror, trying to look good.
But they don't always remember there's a camera behind it.
I always worry about when I'm in that mirror.
I'm cleaning my face real close.
Wondering if there's a camera behind it.
And then you know there is right there.
Nuh-uh.
Yeah.
Huh-uh.
Yeah, camera man standing right there, facing you.
What? This thing?
That thing?
That black thing?
Behind all the one way mirrors, there's cameramen.
No.
[music playing]
No, this isn't one of those mirrors.
You sure?
But look, that's a microphone, isn't it?
[music playing]
That's probably all they'll show of me on the whole TV show,
is checking my teeth and picking my nose.
What a lovely thought.
And now, it's time to get down to business.
The votes are in.
You, the viewers, have decided who should be banished.
Before we get to the final total,
let's look at the voting pattern.
Right after last Thursday night's show,
when the voting started, William jumped to an early lead.
% of you wanted William out, compared to % for Jordan.
On Saturday, it became even more clear.
The people who called were probably
swayed by that night's show.
That's when they saw William admit he
sabotaged the weekly challenge.
Saturday's voters were % in favor
of William's banishment, and only %
in favor of Jordan's banishment.
And tonight, the final numbers are in.
It's % for William and % for Jordan.
William is about to be banished from the "Big Brother" house.
But before we tell the houseguests the results,
let's go over to William's sister,
Lynn, and William's dad, Bill.
Thanks for coming in from Philadelphia.
Well, what do you think of the results?
Are you surprised?
No, not too surprised.
But I think it's exciting, either way.
I think that the show opened up a lot of opportunity for him
to do some other things, so I think it's exciting,
either way.
JULIE: Bill, let me ask you.
Lynn was here last week.
She said that you predicted-- you said,
who was going to pick up Will next Friday from the airport?
You or me?
Well, you're both here now.
So I take it you're not surprised by this?
No, I'm not surprised at all.
Why?
I could see the way the show was going.
I've talked to people in Philly, and they've seen some
of the things that he's saying.
JULIE: So that was the buzz in the hometown.
Mm-hm.
Do you think he should have been banished for the way he
was in the house?
Well, I think he's being fair, because it's about competition.
It's not about, let's get all along together.
The name of the game is cut throat.
JULIE: He kept it real.
Bill, Lynn, thanks for coming in from Philly.
Thank you.
Sorry guys.
Also with us tonight--
all the-- with us tonight, as you saw earlier,
is Elizabeth, Jordan's sister, and Ben, Jordan's boyfriend.
Are you guys surprised that Jordan made it?
No, I think the audience likes Jordan.
I don't think it'll be her last nomination.
She can be hard to live with, because she's very outspoken.
So I think we'll see her again, but I think
the audience does like her.
Yeah, I agree with Liz, too.
Jordan is-- she's the type of girl
that-- she wants to express herself and just
be upfront and a leader.
JULIE: Much like William.
Much like William, exactly, and--
Well, it'll be interesting to see
how they respond to the news, so let's not waste any more time.
Let's tell our houseguests.
Houseguests, it is Julie Chen, your host.
George, Josh, your host, Julie.
How is everyone doing?
All right.
OK, now--
[laughter]
You're all laughing.
Jordan, you look very happy tonight.
Now, before I announce who is the banished houseguests
I need to explain what's about to happen, OK?
Right after I announce who has been banished by the viewers,
that person will only have a few minutes to say goodbye.
And I'll let you know when your time is up.
Then, I'm going to ask the banished houseguest to leave,
and you will be joining me in the studio here,
and I will be interviewing you live.
Now, as for the other person, you get to unpack your bags
and continue with life in the "Big Brother" house.
So does everyone understand what's happening?
Yes.
Yep.
All right.
Here we go.
The first person to be banished from the house is William.
Yes!
Yes!
I can't wait to see you, Naiema.
I'm Audi.
Good luck, dog.
Sorry.
Yes!
Out of this--
What's up, boo?
- William, wait. - Will.
Will.
I want to say goodbye.
Oh, later.
Can I say goodbye?
No, he's not--
Good luck.
I just--
Hug.
All right.
All right, Curtis.
- Take care. - Appreciate it.
All right, Josh. - What's up buddy?
Later. Cassandra.
Take care.
Bye, Will.
Bye, y'all.
Sometimes I'll see you outside.
We'll be later.
Later.
All right, Chicken George.
- Later. - I'm out.
Bye.
Wow, the lights!
The light.
- Amazing. - So bright out.
Amazing.
Look at-- I didn't know there was even [inaudible]
Look at those big buildings.
Yo, how can I get your number?
Is that Naiema?
That's got to be Naiema.
Is she out there?
I can't see.
How you doing?
Baby.
Hey, look good.
I missed you.
How was the show?
It was good.
Was it funny?
Mm-hm.
Who came with you?
Lynn and your daddy.
My pops?
Where he at?
Yeah, they're in the studio.
- OK. - We've got the--
Go over there now.
Oh, come here.
Come here. you've got stuff all over you.
- You know I like makeup on me. - Sorry.
I hate to break up this moment, you know.
Hi William.
I have the same shirt.
How you doing? What's your name again.
- Ian. - Ian.
Pleased to meet you again.
Hi, Naiema, how are you?
Fine Ian, how are you doing?
Well, it's been days.
So what are your emotions right now?
It's-- I'm most curious about.
I'm focused.
I'm, you know, this is--
I love it.
My focus was I would rather be out first,
because I figured they'd have--
whoever they felt was the most competition kicked out first
will be out last.
In between, it's-- you know, no fun in between.
Now, you look back on it all, and there was some good times,
and obviously, some bad times.
Any regrets when you think about it?
No, I wouldn't change a thing.
Not one thing.
Maybe I would have kissed her a little longer.
I was about to say, now, besides the obvious, what
have you got going on tonight?
I don't know--
I haven't made any plans.
I mean, I'm just ready to eat it all up, see what happens,
and do my thing.
That's great.
Well you asked about your dad, your sister, the rest
of your friends and family-- they're waiting
for you back at the studio, so we're
going to send you that way.
- What's up with my bags? - We'll take care of that.
No worries.
So just head on over to the van, and it's back to you, Julie.
All right
JULIE: All right, thanks a lot, Ian.
We are all waiting for William here in the studio,
and we've got a lot to talk about,
including some headlines William made in the last few days,
and doesn't even know about.
We'll be right back.
[music playing]
Focus.
Come here, baby.
That's what's up.
All right.
That's how you do that.
[applause]
Hi, William.
Last time we met, it was under happier circumstances.
Last time we met it was under--
Oh, this is happiest-- I'm psyched.
All right.
I've got to be number one, one way--
either coming out or going in.
In between is not for me.
[booing]
I wonder if everyone could hear that.
That was an interesting response.
Say that again.
That was an interesting response you had.
OK, yeah.
Let's reunite you with your father and your sister.
What's up, pop?
You cool, bro.
Thank you.
[laughter]
JULIE: Lynn and Bill, if you could take your seats again,
and Will, we have this seat right for you.
Thank you, ma'am.
Just for you.
Mega, mega, mega, mega, mega, mega.
I don't know if everyone could hear what you said
to me, because of the clapping.
Tell everyone what you said.
I said to you, last time we met, it was
under happier circumstances.
Right.
When you were going in the house, and you said--
I'm used to being number one, so either it's
first one out or last one out.
Got to be number one, though.
Did you expect to be sitting here tonight with me
as the first person banished from the house?
Well, all my friends and family told me I would be,
so I figured that--
They told you that even before you went in the house?
- Everybody. - Why?
Before I even-- because they know how I am.
Raw dog, give it to you like it is.
Cutting no corners, straight, no chaser.
JULIE: Do you have any regrets about going
in the house at this point?
Going in the house?
No regrets about going into the house.
JULIE: I want you to take a look at something.
This giant screen is how-- that's
a live picture of what's going on in the house right now.
OK.
And this is how we have been watching you
and the others for the past days.
And at times--
Pretty good shots.
How does it look to you?
Those are pretty good shots.
Yeah.
Oh, we're right up there.
We are right up there in front of everyone's face.
Now at times, it seemed as if the houseguests,
including yourself, would almost forget
that the cameras were there.
Did you ever forget--
No, you couldn't forget.
But I mean, after a while, you just, you know,
dealt with the reality of it, and lived
your life accordingly.
Why could you not forget?
You, personally.
Because the cameras made too much noise when they moved.
- Oh, the juh, juh, juh? - Right.
Too loud.
JULIE: Now, had it not been for the noise,
you never had one moment where you just kind of--
You know what? I did forget.
I forgot about the mics that were hanging above.
Really?
Those are pretty visible.
But you're not looking up.
You're always looking eye level, so you forget about those.
And they're not making any noise, so--
JULIE: And did you ever, afterwards, say, I said
something and I shouldn't--
Nah, everything I said, I meant to say.
OK.
It was all precalculated.
Well, since you got a chance to see how everyone else looks
on the big screen, we put together some clips
of video of you in the house.
So let's take a look at your role in the house
over the last couple of weeks.
Where we looking?
Over here again?
Yeah!
Yeah!
My name is William.
I'm from Philly, but my friends just renamed me Will Mega,
so I'm Will Mega. - Oh, no, no no.
Just Mega?
- Mega, Mega. - Mega Will.
OK.
[laughter]
All right, Mega.
Yeah.
There you go.
Too much.
OK.
Here.
[chicken noises]
[music playing]
Let's go, you maggots!
You're a parasite.
Work it.
That kind of comment makes me not like you.
- Well, that's cool. - All right.
You running over there and lifting up
your dress with thigh all up in the sky,
you know, make me not like you.
I think I'm going to be one of the people
to get voted out first round, then.
Why?
Because this is not my crowd.
If you want to struggle for this, we can struggle.
See who's really the strongest.
Not living this prissy, old, you know, everything goes your way.
You don't like it, leave, man.
The door is open.
If you don't like it, you leave.
I suggest you shut the hell up.
And I suggest you watch how you talk to me.
So don't start writing checks that your a*s can't cash.
That was a good quote.
Well, you're nodding your head.
How do you think you came across?
What do you think of that?
I should have got a little more on the weight bench.
JULIE: You strike me as a vain person.
No, you just got to be confident.
JULIE: Well--
You have to be confident.
I mean, the Bible says that 'ye are all God's
children in the most high God.
So I mean, if I'm going to be--
if I'm made in the image and likeness of God,
how can I not be confident?
So that is the real Will that we just saw.
That's about .%.
I held back maybe %.
JULIE: OK, well, your friends did
say you were keeping it real when you were in the house,
and that was you.
Now, I want to show you something
that you said to us about a week before you went into the house.
You were asked, what is your one personality
trait that you think will keep you in the house?
And here is what you said.
My outspokenness.
I'm willing to say anything to anybody at any time,
not giving a damn who it is and what the outcome is--
probably keep me in the house.
Well, Will?
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
But do you think your outspokenness
got you nominated out and voted out at this point?
I believe that it was that which made me the one
that people love to hate.
So to me, again, like I said, being
voted the number one person out, that's a compliment.
All the stuff in between--
nobody wants that. JULIE: Why, because--
In between.
JULIE: Why, because you were the most interesting?
People only remember what's first and what's last.
Alpha and omega.
JULIE: OK.
Well, now, on the sixth day in the house,
you pulled a prank on the houseguests and a prank
on "Big Brother."
You rearranged the furniture in the dining area
and took down the masks from the wall,
and you told the others it was a challenge by "Big Brother."
Right.
Why did you do that?
Because it was boring as hell in there.
They told us that every night, that we would
have subject matter to discuss.
They didn't do that until over a week later.
Everybody was being superficial, holding back.
I was going crazy with the boringness,
and there's only so much reading you can do.
Only so much weight lifting you can do.
So much encouraging others to participate you can do.
So I figured I'd work on some of the people's heads.
You think that worked against you?
When it comes to other houseguests,
they didn't think it was too funny?
I didn't even try to--
to me, their reaction was like, oh, yeah, so what?
JULIE: OK.
Well, once--
They didn't respond as much as I
thought they could have responded to-- they was like,
oh-- and as a matter of fact--
JULIE: It kind of fell flat.
Karen still-- she didn't believe that I was
telling the truth about "Big Brother"
saying I had to tell the truth.
So--
JULIE: Well, Will, once you were marked for banishment,
you sabotaged the weekly challenge of the houseguests.
You were asked if certain people were dead or alive.
Now everyone in the house worked very hard
and took this competition-- this challenge seriously.
And then it was your turn.
William.
- Come on, William. - Go Mega man.
Come on, Mega.
Mean Joe Green.
Dead.
Incorrect.
Yes.
Kathy Griffin.
Dead.
That is incorrect.
You have exceeded your allotment.
You've lost the week long challenge.
By creating, you know, these obstacles for the others,
how does that benefit you?
I will say that a wise general would never reveal his plans
to any potential enemies.
Well general, what was your plan?
The plan is everybody was living so well,
I wanted to see if they really could struggle.
JULIE: Even if, let's say, you were not sitting here,
you would have to struggle, too.
You were prepared for that?
Or were you trying to punish everyone for--
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Everything was too easy.
There was no competition to me.
I wanted to put the pressure on and have people start
turning against one another.
Remember, this was a contest, correct?
JULIE: Yes.
The goal was to compete.
Yes.
There was no competition for me.
I needed to up the stakes.
JULIE: Can you sit there and honestly tell me
if you were not nominated for banishment,
you would not have played along and got
those questions correct?
Because you said so, yourself.
Come on, I know Mean Joe Green is alive.
Yeah, ask my pops.
Talk about Mean Joe Green all the time.
JULIE: So if you weren't nominated,
would you have thrown the race?
I'll tell you what.
If things would have gone the same another day or two,
I would have had to, you know, create some more tension
for the people in the house.
You know, I mean, if we're going to compete--
JULIE: You like to stir things up.
No, I just want to-- if this is going to be an atmosphere
of competition, and things are too easy for my competition,
I mean, it's like me on the court.
I've got to give an elbow.
There's-- the saying goes that all is legal,
unless you get caught.
So you know, it was too easy.
You know what I mean?
We were playing-- it was real prissy.
I'm used to playing roughhouse.
JULIE: You know what we're going to do next?
Let's go.
We're going to eavesdrop on the houseguests.
Let's go.
- Are you ready? - Let's listen in.
I won't be surprised.
Let's listen in.
You know?
What I mean?
Yeah.
I was like, just don't say Brittany.
Just don't say Brittany.
Like-- it's weird that that was going through my head.
Like, we had callers call in and specifically request--
Brittany.
I think everyone feels that way.
Are you going to miss Will, Jamie?
Mm-hm.
Yeah, but I saw different sides of him.
But then there's stuff that, like, I
had a long talk with him this morning about what I
did-- what I thought was wrong.
You know what I mean?
But yeah, I think that he has, like, I don't know.
He has interesting perspectives on things.
But I won't miss all the fighting.
OK, I know you were having a hard time hearing.
But Jamie just said that she won't miss all the fighting.
Although she'll miss you, she won't miss all the fighting.
Your reaction to that?
It's to be expected from her personality.
JULIE: OK.
All right.
Stick around, Will, because when we come back,
we're going to show you what each houseguest
had to say about you when they nominated you in the red room.
We'll be back.
[music playing]
We are back here with William.
William, let's find out what the other houseguests
said about you. - I'm supposed to be Mega.
- Mega. - There you go.
Not Mega Will, just Mega.
- Just Mega. - OK, Mega--
Let's stay consistent.
Let's stay consistent.
Let's find out why the other houseguests nominate you--
nominated you.
Here's what they had to say about you in the red room.
The first person I would nominate
would be Will, because I feel like he really
misses the outside world.
I think if he doesn't agree with something somebody does,
he is quick to say something.
You know, whereas other people would overlook it or would even
participate in goofiness, it's-- he is probably a lot
more serious about things.
I think he's probably the most disruptive,
overall, and puts people ill at ease.
I do like how different he is, and I do like the fact
that he gets under my skin, in a way.
But I dislike the uneasiness it causes in the group.
I understand he's just a brother
trying to get by and do what he's got to do,
but I, again, see tension that he's causing in the house.
Whenever you express your opinions to people,
you need to be very careful about that,
because you can hurt them.
Yes, we all have our faults and we all need to recognize them,
but we don't need to be ripped apart.
Why are you laughing?
Because, man, George needs some testosterone.
Mega!
I'm for real.
All right, what did you whisper
when you were just listening to Brittany's comment.
You said something under your breath.
I couldn't catch it.
She said, although I do like him, even
though he gets under my skin--
That's weird.
That's strange.
That's, like, backwards to me.
JULIE: Was the criticism you just heard fair?
You cause disruption in the house.
Yeah.
I'm going to say it was very accurate.
All right.
Well, Will-- I mean, Mega.
Keep it consistent.
There you go.
Stay right there, because when we come back,
we're going to talk about some headlines
that you made while you were in the "Big Brother" house.
Back after this.
[music playing]
We are back here with William, a.k.a.
Mega, who is the first "Big Brother"
houseguest to be banished.
Now, during our commercial break,
we gave William the time to review
a newspaper article that was printed about him
while he was in the house.
And the article says that William is a political activist
who goes by the name Hiram Ashantee,
and is a follower of the New Black Panther Party
leader, Khalid Abdul Muhammad.
Mega, I see you're still reviewing the article.
Well, you said time.
I understand time is a measurement
between two different events.
There has been very little time, to be exact.
JULIE: Fair enough.
OK
So really, there's been no time to review.
So leave me to get the record straight.
You tell me if this questioning is fair, then.
Earlier today-- let me bring you even more up to speed.
Earlier today, Khalid Abdul Muhammad
held a press conference.
OK.
During that press conference, he
said, William in the "Big Brother" house
is Hiram Ashantee.
Do you confirm this?
Absolutely.
It's true.
OK.
Now, he also said, during this press conference--
Hold it.
Can I get some clips of what you're telling me he said?
JULIE: Yeah, after this broadcast,
we will give you the entire tape.
But see, I can't respond to this accurately.
No, we won't--
If-- I can't respond to it accurately if you're not
willing to give me the quotes.
- OK. - Otherwise, it's hearsay.
No, no, no. OK.
So for the record, it's hearsay,
is what you're saying that the Khalid has said.
Fair, I will not ask you to comment on what he's
said, specifically, in quotes.
I will tell you this.
During this news conference, he said you, William, a.k.a.
Hiram Ashantee are a--
a.k.a.
Mega. - a.k.a.
Mega.
You've got three a.k.a.s here.
You are a former Field Marshal of the New Black Panther Party.
Is that true?
The former National Field Marshal of the New Black
Panther Party for Self-Defense.
JULIE: OK, former.
Are you still a member of--
I haven't been a member of the New
Black Panther Party for Self-Defense
for over four months.
Approximately four months.
JULIE: Why did you leave four months ago?
That's for those who know to know.
That's party information.
JULIE: Well let me ask you this.
Khalid Muhammad, as you know, by critics,
has been labeled a hate monger, based on his extremist views.
Does he speak for you?
Does he speak for me?
I think, as Malcolm once put it, when
you have all that confronts black people in America,
you should be surprised that there aren't many more
Khalid Abdul Muhammads.
Preach.
It's a surprise that there is only one.
So I think he speaks into the minds and the hearts
and the souls of many black people
who are afraid, otherwise, of the outcome of what could
happen if they chose to do so.
I'm not afraid.
I fear God, and God alone.
However, there are things that Khalid Abdul Muhammad says
that represents him, personally, and things that the platform
of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense
that I firmly and adamantly agree with.
William, Mega, you are going to have
to continue this discussion on the Early Show
with Bryant Gumbel.
That's what's up.
Oh, Bryant.
Maybe Jane. [laughter]
Bryant.
Stay calm.
Thank you so much, Mega.
And that does it for us tonight.
Tomorrow, we'll be back with another edition of "Big
Brother," and we will be live next week, Wednesday,
after "Survivor." I'm Julie Chen.
Have a great night.
