02x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Big Brother, on the very first night,

Kent and Autumn went head to head to win the SUV.

My wife will k*ll me if I get out of this.

I know, but see, I don't have a husband to help me.

[interposing voices]

We have a winner!

[cheering]

What happened, man?

You'll find out.

Nicole narrowly escaped eviction--

I'm unpacking.

--and vowed revenge on the Chilltown

threesome for targeting her.

Ooh!

Sweet revenge.

Oh, a sweet revenge.

Last Saturday, Krista won the latest

Head of Household competition.

Oh, baby, uh!

Go girl!

She struggled with her choice of nominees.

Damned if I do, and I'm damned if I don't.

So I'm just kind of getting--

I'm gonna get everybody's idea, and I'm gonna

make a decision for myself.

The House Guests were stunned when Krista

announced her two nominees.

I nominated Kent and Autumn.

It's been a week of scheming--

I only have one goal, and that's take those

sons-of-b*tches out of here.

--screaming--

[interposing voices]

What does that have to do with anything, Mike?

--and romance.

Tonight, is Shannon falling for Will or playing him for a fool?

Will Nicole join the Chilltown alliance?

Krista's untouchable right now.

You vote with us, you're untouchable.

Who will Chilltown vote to evict?

And as Kent and Autumn square off yet again,

will it be Kent who is evicted tonight,

or will Autumn be the one to go?

Big Brother begins now.

[theme music playing]

Good evening, and welcome to Big Brother.

It's day inside the Big Brother house behind me.

There are now House Guests.

Earlier this week, Krista, as the current Head of Household,

nominated two of our housemates for eviction,

Kent, the married father of two from Tennessee,

and Autumn, a single mother from Texas.

In the next hour, one of these two will be evicted.

And later, another guest will succeed

Krista as Head of Household.

Krista makes no secret she thinks Autumn needs to go.

But do other House Guests think Kent is the bigger problem?

Autumn, I nominated you because of the fact

that your emotions are extremely high,

and you're losing a part of yourself.

As far as Kent, it was just luck, luck of the draw.

I thought Kent was a decent guy.

He had a family.

As it turns out, he's grumpy, he's a negative person.

And I'm gonna let you know I don't appreciate it.

Oh, well.

Couldn't say it.

Chilltown wants to get rid of Kent.

I think Chilltown sees Kent as a threat.

Kent's Southern accent, with that voice,

and it just starts to grate after a while.

I'd love to go minutes without hearing him.

If I have to listen to that Southern--

it's like holding my hair like this.

[laughs]

One thing I will give Autumn credit for

is she keeps her mouth shut.

[laughs]

She knows when to be quiet once in a while.

In my mind, I need to start preparing to leave.

Then I have to prepare myself to stay.

The hang time is really stressful.

Personally, I honestly don't know if you can handle this.

And it's only gonna get harder.

Would you vote against me for that?

I would have to say yes.

I cannot wait to see her leave.

Maybe do a little dance.

I don't want to be voted out by my own friends.

But what reason would be acceptable for me

to vote against you then?

If you actually didn't like me.

I just get that feeling.

Is that the same way you feel?

I don't know.

I'm still at the same place I was two days ago.

All I can do is flip the coin unless something happens.

They're really trusting me.

Will asked me after the nomination,

he said, hey, you got some time for me later?

I'm like, oh, sure, yeah.

If you guys look at this from a logical point of view,

there's seven votes.

Right.

Right?

I know positively that three votes

are going for Kent to stay in.

All of them could've sat over there in the hammock and said,

we got the four votes to get him out.

Let's do it.

If they do it, then you guys will know

how to watch your back now.

You're actually still deciding.

- I'm still thinking about it. - All right.

You think that woman can sit right there

and lie to me straight-faced? You really think so?

- M-hm. - Who told you?

- You're asking me, the honest-- - Yes.

- Yeah. - Really?

Yeah.

Because I'd like to make sure that Kent stays.

We need to be able to play the fence.

And you mentioned that to CT?

That's Chilltown.

She's telling us what we wanna hear.

She'll be telling them what they want to hear.

I really like you guys.

And I like hanging out with you more than other people here.

If she's a liar and a deceiver,

then hey, that's what she's gotta live

with the rest of her life.

All you need to know, Hardy, is you should still trust me.

And if you don't, that sucks.

But I'm still playing the exact same way

as I was planning on before.

Makes you go, hmm, doesn't it?

Our Father, who art in heaven, deliver us from evil.

For thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever

and ever.

Amen.

[sighs]

Amid all the strategy and scheming,

a romance is emerging between Will and Shannon.

It's one we've watched develop since the night they first met.

My name is Will.

I live in Miami Beach.

What do you do?

I'm a doctor.

Are you totally--

Seriously.

- --committed to your boyfriend? - Yeah.

Think you wouldn't really kiss another guy or anything?

What did I tell you the other night?

I told them that I would not touch anybody in here

with a -foot pole.

I think she's sort of sultry, sort of mysterious,

which is a big turn-on.

She said she had a boyfriend.

I feel like she's been a little flirtatious.

At this point, anybody's out of the question.

There's nobody in here that I would

give up my current relationship for, no.

My better half now is--

I mean, I could sit here for an hour

and tell you everything wonderful about Jim.

If I had a significant other in my life

who I cared about deeply, I'd have a picture of them.

I do have a picture of him.

You wanna see him?

Is he as cute as me?

Ha ha ha!

Listen, I don't want to look at the guy's face

whose girlfriend I'm going to hook

up with and have to know that that poor guy is watching me.

Every day we continue to hang out,

and we learn more and more and more.

And you just never know.

Shannon and Will don't care about each other.

They care about how they can use each other to further

themselves in the game.

You don't know me very well.

I don't.

At all.

I really-- I know I don't know you very well,

but I really appreciate your company,

and you're the kind of person that I could see myself with.

I will not kiss anybody.

I will not get naked with anybody, et cetera.

I do think it's only fair that I

tell you that I have an extreme knowledge of anatomy.

It's not-- it's not even fair.

Will and I are close.

If I get kicked out, or if Will gets kicked out before me,

I want him to be the person they fly back for me.

They're hooking up.

I think they're having sex.

I'm worried about Shannon playing

me like a [MUTED] fiddle.

I'm keeping her real close, not only

for the obvious physical reasons,

not only for the obvious emotional reasons,

but for strategic reasons as well.

[heavy breathing]

I have, in many ways, fallen for her.

You're naked.

Oh, you're hot.

She's just got a lot of redeeming

qualities that I like.

Kiss me.

Just kiss me.

Later we'll hear what Shannon's boyfriend has to say.

Meanwhile, tonight is eviction night.

Of the House Guests remaining,

seven cast their votes to evict.

The nominees, Autumn and Kent, are not permitted to vote,

nor is Krista, the Head of Household.

All votes are cast in secret in the diary room.

Hardy and Monica are the first to vote.

Autumn says that she kind of thinks

of me as like a big brother.

And she's come crying to me on more than one occasion,

stating that, I hate this place, that I hate these people.

This house is too mean spirited for her spirit

right now.

This atmosphere for her is very unhealthy.

I vote to evict Autumn.

I vote to evict Autumn.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

When Shannon's boyfriend Jim said goodbye to her

some three weeks ago, he hoped their relationship

would survive.

But disconnected from the rest of the world,

Shannon and Will seem to have a budding romance.

Jim's been watching and shared his thoughts with us.

Shannon I've been dating now for a little over months.

She is one of the first people that I've

been close with in a long time.

She uses what God gave her, and she puts it to work for her.

She can't help the fact that she's

a good-looking individual.

It's never easy when you see the person you love

and all these guys around just staring at your girlfriend.

No, no, no.

I do have a message for her boyfriend at home.

He's out of here.

Will, I'd like you to be a man and say it to my face.

At pounds, I think he should bring Hardy with him.

There's a point where you don't disrespect

someone to their face.

Your personal well-being may be at stake.

This is something she gave me a little bit before she left.

I don't know what's going through Shannon's head,

and I don't know what's going through Will's head,

if this is just strategy to them, or it's actually passion.

Yes.

[laughs]

Any comments that Shannon may make

about Will and their relationship,

sleeping together, being intimate--

OK, looking hot.

I feel I deserve an explanation for it in the end.

And all I can say is that I know Shannon,

and all I can go with is how we left it before the show.

So what about Jim?

Are you in love with him?

It's not easy to see the person

you love with someone else.

I love her very much, and I'm supporting her.

It's time now to talk to the House Guests.

Hi everyone.

GUESTS: Hi.

JULIE: How is everyone doing tonight?

GUESTS: Good.

Hi Mike

Hey, hey, how are you?

I'm great.

I think you're flirting with me, Julie.

I think you're hoping, Mike.

I'm kidding No, no, no.

I have a serious question for you, Mike.

You were the first Head of Household.

How do you think Krista did?

Oh, I think she did an excellent job.

She was a good representative.

She got more benefits than I did, though,

so I'm a little jealous.

But she did a great job.

JULIE: How so?

Well, she-- the girls lost the food challenge, and she

got to eat with us all week.

And she eats a lot.

She's from Louisiana.

You know how those girls are.

I'm kidding! I'm kidding!

[laughter]

She was stern with me.

Shannon?

Yes?

JULIE: Speaking of that topic, the women

lost the food challenge this week, the food

competition I should say.

And that meant a whole lot of peanut butter and jelly.

How are you holding up?

I'm doing quite well.

I've lost a little weight, which is not a bad thing.

But at the same time, I'd like to be lifting,

and I haven't done that all week either.

JULIE: Oh, because you're too weak to do so?

Yes.

JULIE: That's rough.

Nicole--

Yes.

You escaped eviction last week.

Yes, I did.

How much do you want to be this week's Head of Household?

So bad I can taste it.

Literally.

JULIE: What does it taste like?

Peanut butter and jelly.

[laughter]

Not.

Yeah.

Well, Kent, Autumn, I want to ask the two of you,

as this week's nominees, what are your thoughts tonight?

Kent, I'm gonna start with you.

Well, Julie, I guess this house is probably a lot

like society in microcosm.

It's society under a microscope is what we are.

And in this house this week and in the weeks that I've

been here, I've found love and compassion and helpfulness

and honesty in a lot of folks.

And I've also found anger and hurtfulness

and vanity and greed and deceit, just

like you'll find in society.

To those people, I would have to say to them

that if I have to be like them to win this game,

I'd rather go home.

Send me back.

Send me back to my family, my friends,

to Kathy and Alex and Maddie and everyone else,

Ed and Frances and my brother Robert and his kids and also T.

Judson Kennedy-- the author of the book SmokeFire!--

and the people of East Tennessee to Rocky Top,

to the people of East Tennessee that

carry themselves with a quiet compassion, grace, and dignity.

Send me back there.

And to those of you in this house

who have carried yourself with grace and dignity,

I salute you.

You've done a great job.

JULIE: Sounds like a rough week.

You're gonna need a lot of--

no, this is the whole stay in the house.

And so, but those of you that do carry yourself

that way, I wish you the best of luck, and I salute you,

and I hope you do real well.

To those of you who have made life in the house very

difficult, do not make the mistake

of not throwing me out tonight, because if you do--

hear me well--

your a*s is mine.

Ooh!

Ooh!

Man, wow!

Sounds like a threat.

W-O-W!

JULIE: Autumn, how do you top that?

What are your thoughts tonight?

Now I'm on the spot.

I guess I came in here thinking that being

a warm and caring person was a good asset of mine,

but in here it's become a liability.

And I thought that I had some good friends and even

a roommate who really cared about me,

and those are the people that tried to oust me and rally

people to get me thrown out.

So obviously, I'm easily fooled but--

JULIE: Let me interrupt.

Which roommate are you talking about?

Now I'm really putting you on the spot.

That person knows who I'm talking about.

Do I have to say--

to say it?

JULIE: It's up to you.

I'd rather just leave it at that.

But tonight I feel in a win-win situation.

If I get to stay, I'm in cahoots with Kent in that it's going

to be rough living with me.

And if I leave, I get to go and look

into the eyes of my beautiful son,

get back to my singing career and to my art,

and be a, hopefully, fulfilled and happy person again.

JULIE: OK.

Well said.

House Guests, I'll be back in a minute.

Seven House Guests vote to evict.

As you've seen, Autumn has two votes for eviction, Kent none.

Let's go back to the diary room as Bunky tells

us who he thinks should go.

Kent and Autumn are both my friends,

so I asked a bunch of the other people

and kind of got a consensus from them.

I know that she's missing her son, Justus.

And I don't know that she's strong enough

to be here much longer.

I vote to evict Autumn.

That's harder than I thought it would be.

There are now three votes to evict Autumn.

It takes four votes to be shown the door.

But we have not heard from Nicole

or the Chilltown alliance of Will, Shannon, and Mike.

How will they vote?

We'll be right back.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

He has two young daughters, ages six and ,

with his wife of years.

She is the single mother of a four-year-old boy

she misses dearly.

Both Kent and Autumn are battling it

out on Big Brother, in part, for a better future for their kids.

I have a kid, and I've never been married, so I've been

having lots of [inaudible].

Oh, my god.

You have a child out of wedlock?

I have a child out of wedlock.

Oh my god.

I got the vapors.

I have a four-year-old son named Justus.

I came up with the name by combining

the two words "just us."

Is it gold?

That's gold.

Justice is the sole reason that I'm here.

And I would like to win this money

and be able to give him the best life I can.

So he's a great kid.

Wanna give me a hug?

I miss his smile.

I miss everything about him.

My -year-old, Alex, is just a sweet,

warm, and sensitive-- big brown eyes,

got my wife's big, big eyes.

My six-year-old, she's a little rambunctious one.

She's a little blond-hair, big brown eyes,

and she just is so much fun.

Ooh!

Ooh!

You look in those little brown eyes,

and you just say to yourself, I wanna give them the world.

That's Alex, and that's Maddie.

Wow.

But Alex made this for me.

What she's done is make good-luck bracelets

for everybody.

I am not going to play the sympathy card

and say, oh, my kids need money and all of this.

I don't want people to think I'm sitting

here using my children to try to get farther in the game.

I wouldn't want my children used for that,

and I'm certainly not gonna do that.

I even had my ultrasound--

Having Justice changed my priorities.

Before I had him I was just a good-time girl

out to have a good time.

I get up at :, cook him breakfast, take him to school.

I come home.

I do whatever chores need to be done.

Oh my god.

Your life exhausts me.

I think I've been pretty honest with the House Guests

as far as the reason that I'm here is for my son.

And for that reason, I hope I get to stay.

If I were to win the $,, it would be for my family.

I would like to be able to provide more for them

than I'm providing now.

How will it affect you, me being gone?

It'll be the happiest time of my life when he's gone.

[laughs] I'll miss my kids.

Let's talk to the person responsible for nominating

Kent and Autumn.

Krista is sitting alone in her private room on her last night

as this week's Head of Household.

Hi Krista.

Hi Julie.

JULIE: Just a reminder, the other House

Guests can't hear our conversation,

so you can speak candidly, OK?

OK.

JULIE: Do you have any regrets about nominating

Autumn and Kent for eviction?

No, I can't say that I have any regrets.

I did not wanna nominate Kent, but I definitely

wanted to nominate Autumn, so it was

kind of the luck of the draw.

And you have to do it.

It's not necessarily something you

wanna nominate one of your friends,

but you have no other choice.

JULIE: So even after hearing their speeches just

five minutes ago, no regrets?

No, I don't have any regrets.

I feel pretty comfortable with my nominations.

I made the nomination based on what I could live

with when I get out of here.

I can't necessarily look people in the face that--

because I do like and enjoy something about everyone

in here.

And it was very hard to make that decision,

but you have to do it.

That's part of the being the Head of the Household.

Part of the game.

JULIE: And that's true.

Now, I have to ask you, you went around the house,

and you asked many of your housemates

who to nominate for eviction.

Most said Will.

You even said once if you became Head of Household

that you would nominate Will.

So how come you didn't?

Right now it's a little too early

for me to be Head of Household, because I

wasn't ready to nominate Will.

It's not part of my strategy to nominate him right away.

JULIE: Oh, so down the line it's a possibility.

Is that what you're telling me?

I don't consider Will a threat anymore.

Once getting to know him and how he's really angered

a lot of House Guests, I don't really consider him a threat.

So I'm not being used or anything,

as some people might think.

I'm just playing the game the way

I think it should be played.

JULIE: OK.

What's the best part of being Head of Household?

The best part of being Head of Household

would have to be getting Dr. Pepper.

That was good.

JULIE: And not having to eat peanut

butter and jelly, probably.

Yes, 'cause I do not like peanut butter and jelly at all.

JULIE: You don't?

No.

JULIE: You're very lucky then.

Yes.

Now, this whole week we saw you push for Autumn's eviction.

Why?

It's not a personal reason.

I didn't do it out of vengeance.

I do think that she's not mentally

stable to be in this house.

She has mood swings to where she goes up and down,

and she seems to need a lot of sympathy.

And she seems to be very, very homesick.

And we all are, I mean--

but I don't think she's emotionally

ready to be in this house.

So I know she says she is, and she

is a kind and caring person, but she's

just not cut out for the game.

Who would you like to see as the next Head of Household,

and why?

I definitely would like Monica or Hardy

to get Head of Household.

Both of them are very good friends of mine.

They're honest, honest, very honest people.

I trust them.

We call ourselves the UT, which is the Untouchables.

And no one knows that, so let's keep that on the down low.

But I do think they are the most fair to be Head of Household

at this time.

I pray they get Head of Household.

OK.

Well, thank you, Krista. - Thank you

And you can rejoin your housemates.

Thank you.

Is Krista's plan to oust Autumn working?

Three of the House Guests have voted that way.

How will Chilltown and Nicole vote?

The eviction is just moments away.

He's a mortgage broker.

She's an aspiring singer and songwriter.

He lists Ronald Reagan as his hero.

She lists Madonna as hers.

Both Kent and Autumn entered the house hungry to win.

days later, only one will stay.

Three House Guests have cast their votes,

and all three want Autumn evicted.

The wild cards, Mike, Will, and Shannon from Chilltown,

and then there is Nicole.

Did Chilltown vote as one?

Who did Nicole align herself with?

The answers to these questions will make all the difference.

We've kept the nominees in suspense long enough.

House Guests, the wait is finally over.

Let's reveal the results.

By a vote of seven to zero, Autumn,

you are evicted from the Big Brother House.

- Bye, guys. - Bye.

- Bye. - You don't have to walk me out.

Please don't.

She doesn't want anyone to walk her out, you guys.

Let her be.

Kent, I know it comes under strange circumstances,

but congratulations.

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

[laughter]

You're always trying to hurt me.

[inaudible].

We had to keep you.

[indistinct chatter]

OK, I'm gonna fall down the stairs.

Hi.

Hi, Autumn.

Wanna put your bag down?

Sure. Does it matter?

Yeah, just put it here.

We'll take care of it.

You look so hot.

Work it out, baby.

You look great.

You look fabulous.

You're a good person.

You look awesome.

You're sleeping.

You're a great cook.

Same to you.

I'll get to play you guys.

I'll appreciate them more.

[indistinct chatter]

It's the vain shake.

Fight Club.

But I'll tell.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[whispering]

My brother's sitting around right now going, oh, they

should have thrown his a*s out.

[laughs]

He's like, you better get my book right now.

[indistinct chatter]

OK, what was that, Snot Fire?

What was it?

Krista, you did great this week.

You look fabulous.

Stern, but fair.

You look great.

I mean, like, if I get chicks and stuff, I'd do you.

OK, now we're gonna make one big pact right here.

No matter who gets the Head of Household,

I get the room, right?

[indistinct chatter]

And what a car.

Never left the Head of the Household room once.

[indistinct chatter]

Autumn, you wasted no time getting out of that house.

Not at all.

Why?

You didn't say goodbye to anyone.

The people that I wanted to say goodbye to--

I said earlier before the show, I

knew I wanted to walk out the same way I went in,

which is by myself, independent and strong.

So I think I did that.

And I left them something on the Memory Wall to remember me by.

But I'm just not a big person on being kind of fake.

And my thing is, if we weren't hugging

and kissing and loving each other

before, there's no reason to do it now.

JULIE: First of all, what did you leave on the Memory Wall?

I left my hairbrush that everybody has used

over the last three weeks, and I wrote on the back,

"Live for Peace and Justus," but I spelled it the same way I

would've spelled my son's name.

And I signed it.

Second of all, if you said goodbye

before we went on the air, are you telling me

that you had a feeling you were getting evicted tonight or just

in case you did that?

No.

I absolutely knew I was getting evicted.

People were saying that this game was making

me an angry person and that they thought

I'd be better off with my son, and I can't say as I disagree.

So your reaction is, you knew this was coming.

Absolutely

But what happened?

Why did you know it was coming?

Well, I wasn't sure about the nomination.

I mean, the nomination was a surprise to me.

But as soon as they read the two names,

I knew it was going to be me.

I knew unequivocally.

Yeah.

Did you know it was going to be seven to zero?

No, I didn't know was it to be seven to zerio,

but that doesn't surprise me either.

Why?

I've detached myself from the group,

based on some of the cruel acts that are going on,

not necessarily towards me, but towards other people.

And I am I guess a loving person, a person

that likes to be positive.

And there's just absolutely no opportunity

for that in the house.

So I've kind of only kept myself to people that I

thought were cool people.

And the rest of them I just kind of let fall by the wayside.

Well we wanna try and give you some insight

as to why some of the House Guests voted the way they did.

So take a look.

I vote to evict Autumn because of what

would be best for the rest of us left here against Chilltown.

We owe Krista.

Krista feels Autumn is a bigger threat for her,

and that's what she wants out.

I don't have a choice, because I could possibly be the swing

vote for our community.

So I have to vote that way.

And it sucks.

I'm dealing with head now, because if I

deal with my heart, then she will stay.

Autumn, it's nothing personal.

I wish you the best, and I hope you please understand.

I do love you.

Baby, sugar, darling, you are much bigger than these people

here.

Autumn, I'm so sorry.

Take your love, and be at home with Justus

and take care of him.

What do you think?

Now, that was a little harder than walking out.

Why?

Because I know there are some people

that really care about me.

And I know there are some people that thought this environment

wasn't good for me.

And they were right.

This environment has not been good for me.

I didn't come here to be harangued and harassed and made

fun of and singled out.

I came here to play a game and to have

a great summer adventure, and it turned into something terrible.

And I really feel for the people that

have to continue to live in that environment, because I just--

I'm glad I'm not.

I have to say that I'm glad I'm not.

And I knew those people, what they did it for, so--

and I feel good about that.

I feel good that seven people think that I'm better,

a better person than to be in that house,

in that terrible situation.

So I can't say that I'm angry, because I'm not angry.

Earlier tonight you said you refer

to someone who you thought was your friend, your roommate.

Now you're out.

Who were you talking about?

I was talking about Hardy.

Hardy from day one has said, Autumn is a single mom

of a four-year-old kid.

She needs to be home.

And I came here to make our lives better.

And I tried to get him to understand that, and he didn't.

And so as soon as I went up for nomination,

he went around to everybody and told them,

this is an easy choice 'cause Autumn

needs to be home with her kid.

And I thought that wasn't a choice for him to make.

So did you try and swing people then?

Because when Nicole was up for nomination,

she really worked hard to gain votes to stay.

Did you do that this past week, because I

couldn't really see it. - No.

JULIE: Why?

I opted not to go around and try to befriend

or, for lack of a better term, kiss butt to people that I felt

knew they wanted me to go home.

I mean, I don't feel like, oh, we want her out or whatever.

I kind of feel like it's a compliment, because they love

me enough to let me go, and they love me enough to say things

like they said in that room.

I don't feel bad about that at all.

So no, I didn't walk around and try to rally votes for myself,

'cause in a quiet [inaudible] way,

I kind of wanted to go home.

I wanna talk to you about Kent.

You guys have had your ups and downs,

starting with night number one when the two of you

faced off in the car competition, which he won.

You were bitter about it.

Yes.

Then you went on to say that you grew to like each other.

Yes.

And then this past week, you were at odds again, because you

were both nominated.

How do you feel about him now?

I have--

I like Ken a lot.

I lost a lot of respect for him, because he did go around

and kind of rally votes, which is what he staunchly

said he was not going to do.

And I'm a person of my word.

As soon as I was nominated, I told him

I was not gonna do that.

And he said, no, there's no way.

And then he walked around and did that,

and I just thought that was corny.

But isn't that part of playing the game, maybe, by faking you

out, saying, I'm not gonna do it so you don't do it,

and then he does it?

It could be, but he knew I was not going

to do that no matter what.

And he also knew that I was no competition for him.

He knew it was going to be me versus--

me instead of him.

He's been walking around all week referring to what's

gonna happen next week and this, that, and the other, including

himself. He knew it was gonna be me.

So did you ever call him on it then?

No.

No need to.

JULIE: Why not?

I don't feel like there has to be any animosity

in this situation.

I don't feel animosity for even Hardy.

I mean, he did what he thought was the right thing to do.

I wish I would have had a chance to give my opinion

in that situation, but for me to walk around

and say each person, oh, don't believe

him, oh, don't believe him--

you can't do that in the house.

It doesn't work that way.

And then you kind of look like you're trying to do something

maybe you're not trying to do, or you're trying

to get somebody against somebody else,

and I wasn't trying to do that.

I knew it was gonna be me from day one.

And I accepted that, and I moved on.

Who are you going to miss most?

Nicole.

Why?

Nicole has been a very supportive

person, source of strength.

She made me believe that I can do things

and made me believe I had a right to my opinion,

which I do.

I'm a softy.

I'm a mom.

I didn't come in here to play cutthroat with people,

and that's the situation that was forced upon me.

So she helped me through that and helped

me see that not everybody's after me,

that maybe it's for a good reason that I'm leaving.

So you're not mad she voted you out at all?

No.

Especially after seeing her cry.

No.

She really agonized over it.

I knew she did.

I knew she did.

What's the first thing you're gonna do now

that you're out of the house?

I want some food, any kind of food.

We have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich waiting.

No.

As a matter of fact, I think that I'm

going to get all the peanut butter

and jelly that's in my house right now and throw it out.

I never want to see another peanut

butter and jelly sandwich.

I wanna eat.

I wanna have some drinks.

I even have thought about going--

Mike owns a bar here in town.

I thought about going there.

I really want to either talk to or see my son and my boyfriend

and tell them that I'm OK, because I'm

sure they're watching going, oh my god,

what are they doing to her?

Well, Autumn you will have the final word.

You'll come back in September with Sheryl

and the other evicted House Guests,

and that's when you'll all decide on who

will be the last one standing.

Right.

But right now we have two people

who are waiting to see you.

Any guesses?

Tony and Justus?

You got it.

Your son Justus and your boyfriend Tony

are here from Texas.

Oh god.

Oh!

Oh god!

[indistinct conversation]

Coming up, who will be the next Head

of Household with the power to nominate

two House Guests for eviction?

The battle lines are drawn as we watch the live Head

of Household competition next.

It is the ultimate position of power in the Big Brother house.

It includes perks such as a private bedroom

and the responsibility of nominating

two House Guests for eviction.

It's time to crown a new Head of Household.

The competition begins now.

House Guests, the power is up for grabs.

Krista, as outgoing Head of Household,

you are not eligible to compete this week.

Tonight's competition is called By the Numbers.

It will test how well you know each other.

I'll ask a series of questions about and only

about the nine of you still in the house.

Each answer will be a number from zero to nine.

Now, do not hold up your answer until I say the word "numbers."

If you're correct, you stay in the game.

If you're wrong, you'll step to the side and join Krista.

Now listen carefully, because I'll

ask each question only once.

Let's begin.

How many of you who are still in the house

have a birthday in the month of July?

Numbers.

The answer is two.

Krista and Mike both have birthdays in July.

All those without the number two, please step to the side

and join Krista.

Next question-- if all of you still in the house

sat at the dining room table right now, how

many seats would remain empty?

Numbers.

The answer is three.

Monica, you are disqualified.

Please step to the side.

Next question-- at last week's food competition,

how many of the nine of you weighed more than pounds?

Numbers.

The answer is five.

Nicole, you've been eliminated.

All five men weighed more than pounds.

Next question-- how many of you still in the house

currently have either children or stepchildren?

Numbers.

The answer is three.

You're all still in the game.

Next question-- how many of you still in the house

have earned a high school degree?

Numbers.

Mike, can you lower yours a little bit?

I'm sorry, the answer is nine.

All of you have high school degrees.

Mike, you've been eliminated, which

means it's the Sudden Death Round

between Hardy and Shannon.

How many of you in the house are shorter than inches?

Numbers.

The answer is zero.

Since you've both got it wrong, you are both still in the game.

None of you are shorter than feet inches.

Next question-- how many of you still left in the house

have the letter N as in Nancy in the name

engraved on your house key?

Numbers.

The number is five, Kent, Nicole,

Monica, Shannon, and Bunky.

Since you've both got it wrong, you're both still in the game.

All right.

We're going with the Sudden Death Round.

Krista, if you could please give both Hardy and Shannon

a piece of paper and a marker.

You've got it on your mats?

OK.

Now I'm about to ask you a question.

The answer is still a number.

Whoever comes closest to that number without going over

will be the winner.

Now, if you both go over, whoever comes closest wins.

Here we go.

What is the sum total of the ages in years of all the people

still left in the house?

All right.

Numbers.

The total is years.

If I'm reading that correctly, Shannon, you wrote and--

I'm sorry, .

I'm sorry.

With the glare, I couldn't see.

And Hardy, you wrote , which means Hardy wins

Head of Household competition.

Congratulations, Hardy.

Enjoy your private room.

You can get your key from Krista.

Thank you, everybody.

[indistinct chatter]

And we'll be right back.

Saturday, Hardy must nominate two House Guests for eviction.

Tuesday, the anticipated eviction

will loom as the two nominees battle to remain in the game.

And next Thursday, I'll be back as the House

Guests vote to evict one of Hardy's two nominees.

For now, we leave you as we eavesdrop on the house.

I'm Julie Chen.

Good night

inches, no.

I was thinking like six foot.

That's about ' ", ' ".

Oh, OK.

So you take a guess.

Uh, four or whatever.

Yeah.

You have to think so quickly.

It's like, when is she going to say numbers?

I'm like, oh my god.

And then we both got the next--

we both got two wrong in a row.

[interposing voices]

No, you didn't.

You just get one wrong, didn't you?

No, I got two wrong.

She said one, you said four, and then the answer was zero.

Yeah.

What was the other question?

-- foot three and then something else.

Oh, how many people have children or stepchildren?

We both got that right.

Oh, the Ns, the Ns in the name.

The Ns in the name, I thought there was four.

There was actually about five? - Five or something?

- What'd she have? - One.

One?

She said one.

No.

For Ns in the name?

She said zero?

Shannon, how many people did you say had Ns in their names?

One, because I thought it meant like the first--

Starting with an N.

Yeah, starting with an N.

Have an N engraved in their key.

[indistinct chatter]

Not me.

You're Head of Household.

I gotta do what?
