01x54 - Episode 54

[bunniefuu]

Are we going to walk or what?

- I will do it. - I'm gone.

I will.

We've got a chance to change history.

So listen, are we going to make

a pact right now, say enough?

No matter what they throw at us, we're

still walking on Wednesday.

No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

You know what I say?

Everything is made as a group from now on.

- Totally. - All right.

OK.

But otherwise, we'll bail on Wednesday.

- There we go. - OK.

Pool time.

[laughter]

Eddie, rock and roll.

Woo!

Yeah!

[theme music]

Tell them to turn the hot water on.

I don't need to tell them.

They've got cameras all over this [muted] place.

That's what you're going to have to do, Eddie.

You're just going to have to tell them, screw it.

I ain't moving my a*s out of the bed--

Dude, they don't listen to me.

--until you turn on the hot water.

Because you want to know what I figured out, Eddie?

What did you figure out?

This place is a two-way street.

Yeah?

Oh, OK.

You go back to bed, Eddie.

Go back to bed.

Oh, I'm gonna.

Otherwise, you guys can turn the hot water on.

Oh, [muted].

You guys pissed off George.

I don't know what you did, but you pissed him off.

At ten o'clock, I need to see everybody.

OK.

OK.

Yeah.

At ten o'clock, Chicken Man?

Mm-hm.

Tribal council?

OK.

You're not going to sit in the red chair and yell at us,

are you?

I have some--

you'll see at ten o'clock, and it's good.

OK.

Cool.

All right.

It's right here, and we never figured it out.

But I figured it out last night, and it's so simple.

It's so obvious.

There's more to this show than the stupid banishment,

than the stupid challenge, and everything else.

This show is meant to tell us and tell the world that if we

all stay together and that if we all work together as one,

we win.

It was that son of a bitchin' simple right in the beginning.

We could have walked out of here as nine winners that one time.

You know I'm creative, OK?

I got nominated, and I had fun with it, just

like what it says here in this little booklet here,

most importantly, have fun.

OK.

So I said, well, I'll have fun with it.

So I made up a little sign and when I got nominated, it said,

"save the chicken."

OK and I made a sign that said "save our hero,"

and "save George."

Well, I showed it, nothing happened.

Where did you show it?

Oh, in front of the chicken coop.

OK.

Nothing happened to me.

So I'm getting to thinking here, yeah, I stepped out on my own.

Even though I really didn't do anything,

OK, when it comes right down to it, I didn't do--

I just made up little bitty signs.

But what did I do?

I stepped out on my own.

And I go, it's all starting to fall into place.

And what they were trying to do was to break us all apart, OK?

They were trying to pit us all against us,

but last night, when Curtis won the ticket,

it all kind of fell into place, OK?

They need Curtis.

They need him to go on "Entertainment Tonight."

They need us.

And what this whole thing comes down to you,

you guys, is this--

that is if we all walk out as one, we're all winners.

So you're proposing we walk.

Eddie, let me-- let me-- let me read something to you.

This booklet, which Eddie, you might as well

take and wipe your butt on.

Don't you guys agree with the book?

This booklet contains the rules regarding

bah, bah, bah, bah bah.

If you don't, the producers reserve the right

to ask you to leave the house at their discretion

and forfeit any chance of winning the prize money.

What happens if we leave?

There ain't no show, OK?

We holded the cards in our hands all the time,

and the people from the plane, they were telling us all along.

But what it's going to come down to, you guys, is this,

is all of us are going to have to go,

but I bet you we all walk out as winners.

[music playing]

Basically, what Brittany told me

when I was in there was this, Josh, no one in the house

has a chance.

His wife has organized basically the state of Illinois

against the most popular-- the next popular person

in the house, and George will win this thing no matter what.

Can I butt in?

The sky is friendly.

Supposedly.

I don't [muted] trust the sky worth a [muted]..

I don't trust the sky.

I don't trust the [muted] megaphone lady.

I don't trust these people.

I frankly don't even trust any of you.

Eddie, don't say that.

I'll say this, man, you might want to walk on Wednesday.

I'm not walking.

Then we'll lose.

We're going to [muted] lose anyway, man.

No, we're not.

Dude, I don't see it, man.

I don't see it.

I don't trust the sky.

I don't trust megaphone lady.

I don't trust these people.

Not going to happen.

George, what kind of proof do you have?

I've got everything that involves with--

this show is trying to prove a point to the world.

This show isn't about who's the most

popular guy or the most popular woman, nothing like that.

Come on, guys, think about it.

This show is made to prove a point,

that if people join together as one, as one, they'll win.

But if they've got one stray, it won't work.

Josh, do you think that Brit was trying

to say to you that because nobody here can

win that everybody should walk?

No.

I don't.

I think-- I think the sky--

I think her-- everyone wanted us to be aware that, you know, who

we were battling, basically, what we were battling

was basically the state of Illinois, and that's, I think,

it was that simple.

I see where George is coming from.

And I, like-- he's looking at this as--

It's got to be one--

--bigger that just the money.

Whatever you do, it's--

Let me ask you a question.

I agree with what you're saying, that it does,

and I agree that it does in our country.

But I don't see the connection to the show,

yet, from a business perspective.

If I see six people walking, I see CBS bringing in six

alternates, the ratings going through the roof,

those alternates receiving a tiny fraction--

No, no, no. He's not talking about that.

That's the gamble.

There is risk.

Yeah.

There is risk.

But just think about what you would be saying in your life.

Have you thought about that?

This money thing is a bunch of [muted]..

Do you know what you'd be saying in your life?

Do you know what a point we could make?

We were the only house to win the dominoes.

Maybe we're the only house that has it to do it.

You know, if you're looking at the money part of it,

you guys, I've got a feeling there's

going to be so much out there for us

it's going to be unbelievable anyway, Eddie.

I believe that, too.

I know of that.

How true is that?

And here-- here, we're just-- it's a crap sh**t if we go--

but we got a chance, you guys, to really do something.

I came in here thinking, you know,

they thought and the show was about how people turn

on each other and remember--

That's right.

I don't know if I stated this before, it's like, there's

certain times where I said, look,

wow, society does work in here.

You can make it work, you know?

Yeah.

And we never did turn against each other, you know?

The point of every small challenge

was that you can always win and it's fixed such

that the group can win it as a whole,

and maybe the metagame, meaning this game itself,

we can all win it as a whole.

And even if George is wrong, that that wasn't the point

from the beginning, one thing that we have stumbled upon

is that we, as characters and people,

are bigger than the show.

Not that I think I'm so great, but the show is about people.

We are those people.

It's not about the game show anymore.

Mankind is bigger than the show.

Yeah, it's what we would do to one another, whatever end.

So even if he's wrong about what the premise

fundamentally was in the beginning,

there is something that we do have.

It's a two-way street of negotiation, I suppose.

The other thing is certainly, you know,

we've gotten to a point now where

we're a group that is fairly cohesive,

and we can discuss matters of this kind.

I'm not sure that a month ago we would have been in a position

even to have a conversation--

No way.

--of this nature, no matter whether

we agree with it or not.

No way.

And I think that, you know, that's an important--

an important thing.

No, Cassandra's got it right on the head.

It took us to get almost to this point, I guess you would say.

You don't know it, you guys, but we got a chance to make history

here, and it's all right here.

Yeah, we can go down in history as the six winners

of "Big Brother," or we'll go down as the six

quitters of "Big Brother."

We didn't quit.

Because we couldn't hack the last three weeks.

We didn't quit.

Couldn't hack the last three weeks.

That's the way I see it. - We didn't quit.

We didn't quit.

We did what we were supposed to do.

You're hoping that that's what we're supposed to do.

We're all hoping that if we walk that's what

we're supposed to do.

We don't know.

I don't trust the sky, I told you.

Based upon-- the only thing that I have to go on right

now is what Josh is telling me in terms of popularity,

like Brit being popular and that's why she walked.

You know what I'm saying?

That type of deal.

And that's only because Illinois is after the popular people,

so you win.

So the way I see it is, you know, I have no--

I have no fact. I have no proof.

I have nothing.

You're asking me to walk out.

Doesn't it add up though, Eddie?

I don't see it.

Keep talking.

I'm listening, but I don't see it.

You got a chance to make your family probably

one of the most proudest families they could

ever be in their entire life.

Or be ashamed because I walked because I'm a quitter, one

or the other, man. - You're not a quitter.

Dude.

You're not a--

Eddie, you're not a quitter.

You got a chance.

So keep talking to the group.

I mean, don't even-- don't even look to aim at me

because, you know, I'm going to decide one way or the other.

I know, Eddie, and that's-- that's OK.

Who's willing to-- who's, at least contemplating seriously

on walking on Wednesday?

I know you're in.

Anybody else thinking--

Oh, I'm thinking about it, totally.

I'm contemplating it.

If the six of us would do it, I would

at this point, in a heart beat.

If I don't get nominated, I'm contemplating it.

Eddie, you've got to trust me.

I mean, you got to trust me.

Five-to-one again, damn.

You've got to trust the old man.

Is there anyway whatsoever-- because I'm thinking

there's no way you're even considering it right now.

I'm considering it.

I'm considering it.

Eddie will consider it.

We're not going to do this unless we do it all together.

I understand that. I understand that.

And I'm listening to you.

You'll get the money back tenfold.

I'm listening to you.

Tenfold, Eddie.

We're hoping.

We're hoping we get tenfold.

That's only if you stick around here in Tinseltown.

Because you're not going to be opening

malls and getting $,.

You're not going to be doing birthday

parties making $,.

Part of the reason for coming on the show

was to be part of television and television history,

because that's cool.

Even if we're wrong about the money and everything

else, which is, you know, not only a safe presumption

but the presumption we have to make before making

this decision, you are creating a moment in television history

when six people walk out on this show.

Eddie-- we've got a one--

With $, laying there, and we just pushed it aside.

We've got a one-shot chance at this, and the only time

we can do this is on Wednesday.

We can't wait till next week.

We've got to do it on Wednesday.

It's like-- it's the biggest thing that a group

of humans could ever make. - No.

That's-- I totally agree with you.

It's the biggest thing any group of humans

could ever make.

Eddie, look at it this way, when you're an old man, they going

to remember you for the money?

That money might be gone.

They're going to remember you as Eddie,

that he got a chance to change things to how they really are.

All right.

But don't do for the money.

Even if you never got your money back.

No, I know.

Don't do it for the money.

You know what, yeah, I'll walk with you.

I'll walk with you on Wednesday.

If you guys want to walk, I'll walk with you.

[muted],, man, I feel like ruining this show anyway.

What do I care?

[laughter]

Yeah.

They don't like me here, anyway.

So yeah, all right.

You guys want to walk on Wednesday, I'll walk.

But you guys really got to--

this is just the old man's theory.

Seriously, if you guys--

I trust-- no, I trust--

You cannot live a life of regret.

That's right.

You don't want to regret this decision ever.

I tell you right now.

I'm thinking about it.

Are we going to walk or what?

- I will do it. - I'm gone.

I will.

We got a chance to change history.

All right.

So listen, are we going to make a pact right now, say enough?

No matter what they throw at us, we're

still walking on Wednesday?

No ifs, ands, or buts about it. - Yes.

You know what I say?

On the other hand, I don't want to be so hard-headed that

if something new comes up we--

we have to discuss but everything is

a group decision from now on.

Everything is a group decision together.

Everything is made as a group from now on.

- Totally. - All right.

OK.

But otherwise, we'll bail on Wednesday.

- There we go. - OK.

Pool time.

[laughter]

Eddie, rock and roll

Woo!

Yeah!

And Pugita comes with.

Damn, there's one more thing I want to tell you guys,

but actually it's just one more thing I want to tell you,

but I don't know if I want to say anything in here.

I probably probably.

Because I-- it won't really matter as a group now,

but I thought as best it's not as a group--

even now, it would probably--

she also said Josh, the only people you can trust

are Curtis and Eddie.

Are Curtis and Eddie.

Yeah.

Huh.

She said she was trying to give me an advantage,

and it was like, and I told her, I said it's going to go

in one ear and out the other.

- She said Curtis and Eddie? - Yeah.

Huh.

Interesting.

She said the rest of the house I don't know.

Wow.

And so I think that may have been the reason

she chose me instead of Jamie.

OK.

It was like, I hated having that knowledge.

I didn't want that knowledge.

So I said and anyway, it's more detrimental to me

than beneficial and she never--

probably didn't mean it that way.

But the whole thing is, you know, people would question

my intentions from there on out, question

my friendships and everything else, my loyalties,

and I didn't like that.

And I know she meant good by it, but, you know, probably didn't

think out the whole thing.

Brittany acts on her feelings.

It's like, you know, I'm like, I've been

thinking about it all week.

And I thought to myself, somehow or another,

this is all going to come out anyway, and thank God it did.

[laughs]

Do you think I should tell Jamie now?

Tell everyone and then tell them as a group, too.

It doesn't matter.

OK, sure.

The longer they have to ponder the better.

Yeah, that way Jamie's not going stir crazy.

Brittany also said, Josh, the only people

you can trust in the house at this point

are Curtis and Eddie.

That doesn't sense to me at all.

Yeah, and that's another point.

To me, it was never a matter of whether I

could trust someone or not.

I trust everyone there.

I wish I didn't hear that, because I

have no idea what that means.

Don't worry about it.

If it was supposed to mean anything, it would mean

something to me and it doesn't.

So there's no reason to worry about it.

Yeah, but it blows me away that someone who is my closest

friend would say something like that

and I wouldn't be mentioned.

That's weird.

I thought the quote you told me was, "Josh,

you can trust Curtis and Eddie.

The others in the house I don't know about it," as opposed to,

"you can't trust anybody but Curtis and Eddie."

OK. That's what it was.

I can't remember her exact words, but basically--

But I don't know which one it is because you just

told me two different things.

I don't even remember myself, but basically, it was

just trust Curtis and Eddie.

OK.

The rest of the house I don't know about.

Don't think about it.

Don't overanalyze it.

Don't worry about it.

That's why I didn't say anything,

because everyone in the house would be like, rawr.

Hearing something like that, what you just shared,

you know, that's the type of thing that supports walking,

because anything like that supports that people are in

here pitted against each other.

Everyone here could have a different reason

for wanting to leave cohesively, and I would be fine with that.

You've individually reached it.

Yeah.

Well, is it useful for us to go around--

Don't know.

Why don't we-- just tell me why are you leaving?

Don't know.

What's your reason?

You know, this place here, I said a long time ago,

I'd rather walk before I change in here.

Well, I feel that if I stay here another two weeks,

I will have been changed, and I don't go for that.

I think the most important part is

just we can all come together.

You can take a microcosm of society, put them in a house,

so different, and we can get along and make it work

and totally grow to care for each other,

even though our differences are so big.

And then unite, and show that not even something

such as money, which seems to be a trend in our society

to be going so much toward, that our caring for each other

and our morals and all, you know,

our standards surpass that.

And that's it.

I'd like to, when my niece is years old, look at her and say,

you know what?

I had to work to do something, and I could have probably paid

for your college education.

You could have probably been driving

a Porsche to your university, but I

didn't want to backstab people.

In the end, I didn't want to turn on my friends

for that money.

And I want you to grow up in a society

where people, even maybe just me, maybe just you, maybe you

learned a lesson from it.

I didn't do it, and I don't want you

to grow up to do that either.

I want you to be a good person because of it.

For me, this allows me to step away

from the game in the company with the people

that I've lived this experience with

and feel good about walking away from it.

Had I done it before, I think that I would have perhaps been

seen as a quitter, perhaps been seen

as someone who abandoned the group, the family, you know?

And for me, this is a great opportunity to do something

arm-in-arm with you guys.

So yeah, that's where I'm coming from.

I don't intend to try to make a huge social statement

but I am making a statement for myself, because the money

is just not that important.

Getting long is far more important,

and integrity is priceless and invaluable.

If I happen to make a social statement in the process

because of where I happen to be and who's watching,

perfect, but that's for me and why I would be leaving.

Chicken Man?

I just want to say, I've never sat at a table with a finer

group of people, OK?

And the Chicken Man really, really means that.

And I can't say no more.

You guys all knew how I feel, OK?

But I've never sat at a table with a finer group of people.

[music playing]

Yes, yes, I know.

Your boyfriend's an idiot.

[SINGING] Live, because you're living today.

Feel the thrill of life, and don't be afraid.
