Things were heating up between tyler and angela.
I have a crush on you.
Announcer: and they choses to keep share showmance on the
Dl.
It is not a showmance, I swear.
Announcer: but the house suspected they were more than
Just friends.
I know you haven't made it official yet.
Shut the.
I mean are you in a showmance so I don't want to come in
Between you.
What going on between you and angela.
I am telling you, like, i-- you think that eye-- tyler is too
Close to angela for my liking.
Announcer: with scottie and haleigh on the block.
I have decided not to use the power of veto.
Announcer: everyone wanted the geek to go bye bye bye.
That sucks, I like scottie.
He never had any loyalty.
At all.
Comactly.
We already all voted him out and I feel like this is what the
House wants.
Announcer: at the live eviction.
Julie: by a unanimous vote of -, scottie, you are evicted
From the "big brother" house.
Announcer: scotties with booted for the second time.
With power back up for grabs, it came down to brett and kaycee.
But the wide receiver was too quick on her feet.
[Applause].
Julie: congratulations, kaycee, you are the new head of
Household.
Announcer: with kaycee in power will level six continue to
Ride together and target the remaining outsiders?
Or will the power alliance begin to implode.
Plus.
Hey, houseguests.
Announcer: bb winner nicole is back.
Hey babes.
It's vicar.
Announcer: and you won't believe why she's here.
All this right now on "big brother."

Captioning funded by cbs julie: good night,
Houseguests.
Good night, jultie!
Good night julie.
Jay kee.
Check it out, baby.
I'm on a roll.
I'm racking up the competitions.
First it was the hacker, then it was veto two times and now the
Head of household.
It's fowrtd quarter and I'm in the zone, baby.
There is no stopping me.
Look at you veto, veto, hoh.
Boom, boom, boom.
Kaycee w less than eight seconds.
Ughhh.
I came so close to winning hoh.
This could have been the week to stir the pot and make some
Move but I know I'm safe for this week.
And I don't have to get any blood on my hands.
Hopefully kaycee doesn't call inaudible and thinks they chill.
I'm so pissed at myself.
We're at , again.
This is the same seven before the battleback, right.
My reign with hoh was definitely a success.
Scottie needed to go.
Now that kaycee is hoh this means level six might just make
It to final six.
We are almost there, man.
That's crazy.
.
.
I needed to win that competition, dude.
I have literally been the person on the block for the last
Two weeks.
And I'm definitely sigh seeing the block this week.
There's not really a question to t it's just a matter of who I
Sit next to.
So I am just going to smile and just swim, keep swimming.
So I am just going to smile and just swim, keep swimming.
I am I didn't fietd and I'm not gonna.
The numbers in here are dwindle.
And I'm still here.
So I must be doing something right.
It's just, I'm in here all alone.
And it's really hard.
And it's really hard.
We're good, it's the only thing keeps me out here we just have
One more to get out.
We just got-- another.
I know.
What are you going to tell hailee haleigh.
You should put me up.
It's your turn.
I feel like the best move would be for me to put up
Haleigh main target.
She put me up on the block unexpectedly so she can go back
Up there.
And kib the one to do it.
Dude, I love us .
I do too.
It's solid.
Who wants to see my hoh room!
I do!
Whooo!
Come on, tammy, get up here.
Come on, tammy, get up here.

Will you be my-- what the.
Girl, please.
Where is the damn letter.
I have always been superclose to my family, always, you know.
And I love them with everything in me.
I would do anything for them.
I mean yeah, there's been a couple of rough patches here
And.
There my mom is still trying to understand my sexuality and get
My point of view.
You know what, at the end of the day I spoa know they are
Supporting me.
I know they have my back.
I just hope I'm making them proud.
My brother.
Gosh.
It's all right.
Something's in my eye.
Tho peanut allergies, man.
My case dilla thrk is your time, your time to shine, were
Made for this and you deserve this w.
I have always looked up to you as my big sister.
A lot of the best memories in my life come from you.
Just remember that I will always, always have your back.
I always support you in anything you do.
But I say all of that to say, this out of all the people in my
Life and friends I'm closest to, I couldn't think of anyone to
Stand next to me and say I do to the woman I love.
I love you like no other.
Would you do me the honor and be my best brother-- I mean best
Man, wombing thinga majig, of what ma call it.
Anyway, I hope you say yes, I love you forever.
You're number one best buddy for life kenny clark.
Gosh, that was so hard.
Yes, of course.
[Applause] I love that!
That's awesome.
Kaycee might come off as this tough, football player, you
Know, competitive girl.
But on the inside the real kaycee is just a little teddy
Bear and she's most the kind hearted, genuine person could
You ever meet in your entire life.
And man just reading this letter, I'm so happy for her in
This moment.
.
.
I absolutely needed this.
The pictures, the letter.
And it literally feuls me so much to really make it to the
End and win this half a million dollars.
That was amazing.
Gosh.
There's nothing that will stop me and I will keep going until I
Get there.
What's your favorite food?
Sushi.
Your least favorite food?
Peanut butter & jelly.
Really?
Uh-huh.
You don't like that.
I just don't like how it smells.
What?
I don't like it have I weird problems with how things smell.
I'm like a damn german shepherd, I smell everything.
My whole life I have had this really strange acute sense of
Smell and it drives me nuts in this housement because there are
So many smells and a lot of them are very foul.
Ugh, these clothes smell horrible.
Like actually horrible.
E-w.
I feel like that rice smells weird.
I don't know why.
I ate it this morning and I'm still alive.
Are you still alive, okay.
Could you smell the wine in here.
Is this bad?
Oh my god, can I smell it from here.
Having having a keen sense of smell is also a god thing at
Times.
Let me do the smell test.
It's kind of like one of my hidden superpowers.
This one is yours, it smells like your hair.
I don't know.
It's hard to explain to people am like I can smell
Kaycee cooking in here right now.
It smells like garlic.
She is sauteeing garlic with olive oil for some kind of, I
Don't know, probably cooking vegetables with it.
Haleigh always smells good.
She smells like more octoberan oil, I can smell it from a mile
Away.
If a fraternity had of a-- night, that is what brett
Smells like, kaycee kind of smefls like sweat usually jc,
Because he is a moist individual.
Sam smells like my grandmother.
Kind of like a musky kind of smell.
Kaycee doesn't even really have a smell.
She is just like mild, like neutral.
I never even noticed that she smells like anything at all.
Tyler always smells amazing.
I don't know what it is.
Pheromones, cologne who the hell knowsk can I smell him when he
Walks out of the hoh room and I'm in the back bedroom.
And it smells amazing.
Tyler never smells bad, ever.
Oh, that storage room smells terrible.
.
.
I don't see him, I go the to figure out the nicest way to say
It.
The numbers are dwindle down and I done have many options.
Want to put up haleigh as the main target but now I have to
Find a pawn.
I'm not going to put anyone from level six so that leaves sam and
Jc and jc has been working with level six more than sam has but
It it's looking like sam will be the pawn this week.
Need a hand?
I just want to you know, no matter what happens here,-- the
Key is whoever else goes up, stays calm, knows that everyone
Wants.
You are saying it could be me.
No, I it could be me too I'm just saying if it is you, you
Got to stay calm, is all I'm saying.
I'm just prepping you.
I'm trying to strengthen my bond with sam.
Trying to bld that confidence in her.
I want her to believe there is nothing to worry about so if she
Does win hoh next weak she doesn't lack at me as a possible
Target.
The target is not necessarily who is the target.
I'm saying a lot of the times only reason it flips is
Because the other person freaks.
I won't freak out.
I don't think you will.
I'm just saying, every time have I the same thought, every time
Someone wins it is probably going to be me because I'm the
Easiest person.
I trust brett.
When he tells me something, I take his word for it he thinks
That it is necessary to approximate mentally prepare me
Just in case I go up.
And he tells me don't freak out.
Me?
Freak out?
Never.
I'm just saying, I just feel like people throw their
Friendship around when it's convenient.
Thank you.
I just wanted you to know that.
Appreciate the friendship.
I know we vbt really got to talk.
Huh-uh.
How are you feeling?
My plan was just to say congratulations.
I'm happy for you.
And then other than that, I don't know what really to say.
All right.
Don't send me out.
I appreciate that.
Sam definitely has a history of being paranoid.
So with this conversation, I have to make sure that she is
Supercomfortable and just know deep down that she is not the
Target.
It's getting so much harder because the numbers are
Gind dwindle down, okay.
So I have a target in here that I want out of the house.
So that's the one person that has to go much do you know who
My main target is?
Yeah.
Okay I'm not as stupid as everybody thinks.
I think that she does does little secretive things.
I mean like booby trap stuff.
Really?
Yeah.
Like the it upper ware is full of two pieces of fruit
She's going to do everything she can to make me snap.
This girl definitely has a bunch of stories that just would
Be all over in her head.
At the end of the day I just want you to know that you are
Good.
You are more than good and everyone knows this.
Stay calm and it's going to be all right.
Just crossing my fingers and hopefully she can but everyone
Knows sam.
I know you'll do a good job.
It will be fine.
Thank, love.
Love you.
Love you too.
Oh my gosh.
I'm glads I got that over with.
Gosh.
I wanted to talk to you.
Yes.
Because I know whatever are you going to do it going to
Suck.
I mean obviously it makes sense for to you put me up.
Now where we are, looking back, I feel like the.
No, you are good.
But I want you to know that you have me.
Right.
You have me.
And it may not mean much because do you have a lot of people in
Your corner but you have me.
I appreciate that.
You have me, if you need someone you have me.
If you ever needed anyone.
I appreciate that.
I have you, I have you.
I have you.
I have you.
If I had you, I wouldn't have been on the block.
Not just once but twice with.
I don't trust you, haleigh, I really don't.
But I don't want you to think I'm coming to you trying to like
Tell you what I think you want to hearment I'm just telling you
What I'm thinking.
And I don't know how to put it into words.
I just, you have me, not just like oh you have me, like I
Don't have anyone to have, but you have me.
And you have a lot of people that you have.
But I just-- I wanted you to know that.
Yeah, I hear you.
I'm going to go downstairs, let you enjoy your room, but
Like I said, you have me.
Yes, haleigh, I do have you as my number one target this
Week, sweetie.
I'll come back up if everyone else's hanging.
Hey houseguests, hi, everyone, I'm nicole, winner of
Season .
And I am here to host today's luxury competition.
Hey houseguests?
Houseguests?

Yo, yo, yo.

Guess what?
You're not here for a luxury competition.
What?
I have a special message I want to share with you.
Nick, we met in the big brother house over two years ago.
I'm just kidding.
And right away I thought you were the most beautiful girl I
Have ever seen.
We have a funny little relationship, it's hilarious.
And I fell in love with your personality.
We formed a friendship in the big brother house.
Like a teddy bear.
But our friendship really blossomed outside in the real
World.
Oh.
We had long talks on the phone, text messages, facetime
Calls.
We had a solid friendship.
I knew the moment that we had that first kiss in new york that
I was in love with you.
Oh.
Nicole, I will be very honest with you, the last place that I
Thought I would end up living is ugly michigan and now I live in
Ugly michigan.
He's so cute.
Wherever you are is where I belong.
And now I can't imagine being anywhere else.
Nicole, you're the most beautiful, most kind, most
Generous and giving person that I know.
You're my soul mate.
You're my lover.
You're my best friend.
You're my blank and you always fill in that blank. And even
Though I didn't win the money, I walked out of "big brother" with
The biggest prize of all.
And that's you, nicole ann franzel.
Our story began in the "big brother" house and I don't know
Where the next chapter is going to take us, but I just know it's

But I'm really upset thatdom didn't propose to me here.
I'm just kidding, kind of.
What do you think, should we invite more guests down here?
Yeah!

What a crew am.

Just feeling very grateful right now.
Within nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Congratulations.

I can't even believe that I am a part of something so
Beautiful.
But all I want to do is ask these guys, am I totally making
Myself look like a jack a*s.

These are questions that need to be answered.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
You are nicole, congratulations.
Thank you.
You look beautiful.
And you are victor.
Mi victor.
Congratulations.
Oh my gosh, I'm a hopeless romantic.
I live for stuff like that I might as well have been in a
Nick las sparks novel.
It was so beautiful.
Nice to meet you.
This house is full of legends right now.
Legends.
Like it does nothing but motivate me to step up my game
And maybe some day I could be half of what these people were,
Man, like I'm losing my mind right now.
This is the most sur veel moment of my entire life.
This is so insane.
I was like houseguest, oh my god, they are hiding from me.
It's so crazy how much big brother has affected our lives.
I mean we were on "big brother" together.
I get engaged in the "big brother" house and now my "big
Brother" family is here to celebrate with me?
It couldn't get any better.
Salute.
We're good.
It is an exciting day.
I was lucky enough to get a chance to live with both of you
In a season.
But vic, we've been boys since the minute, every second you got
Evicted, came back, its friendship got stronger,
Stronger and stronger.
My two buddies are merging into one buddy.
It's tight.
Nicole, I want to say how happy I am to be here with you.
You are one of the most genuine loving people I've ever met.
Thank you.
Playing with you was one thing but becoming friends
Outside the house, your friendship has meant the world
To me.
There is nowhere else I would rather be with you, victor, the
Rest of the house guests, we're all family here and it is an
Honor.
I love you very much.
Thanks.
We love you guys.
Cheers rns.
Vicar, nicole, I'm so happy I could be a part of this.
I love you, I can't wait to see your whole relationship in life
With you.
We're going to cut the cake.
Oh my god there are sphraw berries in here, that is
Awesome.
I was lit reallily shaking.
I started crying as soon as I came out.
Okay, when is the wedding.
Because I'm crashing.
Wedding crashing, I am coming to the wedding.
I'm brnging meatballs, pots and ban pans and nobody is stopping
Me.
We're about to have the best "big brother" you've ever seen.
Definitely not a luxury comp.
But this is cooler.
Now I'm going to go get on the block so see you.
Got to keep playing.
Injuryic smells really good, if they smell good it means they
Take care of themselves.
Can I get your guy's attention. Thank you guys so
Much for being in this moment with us.

Thank you so much and we love you guys.
And thank you for being here.
Thank you guys so much.
Love you guys.
Supercool meeting you guys.
Oh.
.
So after all, I did get the money and I got the guy.
And boy, that doesn't make sense?
No, you did.
You did.
What are you.
No, I thought that was cute.
No, that was perfect.
I got the guy and I got the money.
No, what you said was fine.
I just thought it was funny.
But dwrai.
Life is great.
Listen, I hate too ruin the moment but we got to get going
Because I think you have to get ready for a nomination ceremony.
Ooh, bummer.
Have fun with that.
Bye.
Bye.
Group hug, group hug, group hug.
Whooo.
Congratulations.
That's so cool.
You want a huma hoop competition.
Those hula hoops are too light.
On your tip toes.
Look.
Look, sam, I'm going to jump rope with this.
That's a good idea.
You should go faster.
You get around.
Get it?
Tell a story.
All right.
Do you want the sparks notes version.
Give me whatever version you want.
So my parents put my in gymnastics when I was five years
Old because I was doing flips off the couch and I started
Competing at age five, basically.
Were you scared?
No, I was like fearless as a little kid.
So I got good at gymnastics really fast.
And I like got to a level in gymnastics where I couldn't be
Couched so my mom had to drive me from hilton head to savannah.
Five days a week.
I was training hours a week, computing and imhetd exeting
On the weekends and going to school.
After school.
Uh-huh.
So hi no childhood.
I had no life.
And I was a very sad little kid because of it.
Like I didn't want to be like the center of attention but they
Were like you are going to do this in college thsm is how you
Will pay for college.
I hated it.
That's crazy.
Nothing I remember from the sport was ever good.
You get to a point where everything, you just go numb
Inside t is day after day after day, before you know it, ten
Years has gone by and you are stilt doing it.
Then my mom's relationship has always been weird because we
Spent so much time growing up and I kind of had this
Resentment towards my mom.
Which breaks my heart to think about now.
You have that.
Yeah.
And my brother didn't get to see my mom bus of it.
So my brother always had this resentment that I was the golden
Child of the family and like being, taken to all these
Competitions every weekend.
I remember I would cry, like on the way home from practice and
Sit there in silence.
That is why I have no he moationzs now.
Because I was forced to hide them for so long.
When you grow up doing a sport your entire life, it's like,
Your identity.
And so like I didn't know who I was without gymnastics.
So I was so scared to quit.
Gymnastic kind of broke our freem a part a little bit.
We weren't able to have the family time that most people
Have and it was my fault.
And so I felt like I needed to repay them by making them proud,
I guess.
I quit when I was .
And like once I did quit, I was like, first day out of jail,
Free.
I am just like you know what, it doesn't platter, my happiness is
What is most important.
Exactly.
And the assistant coach was the track coach for the women's
Team and he is like, you should just really come out for the
Track team.
I'm like hmmmm, okay.
So I go home, I google track n field and I find pole vault and
I look and every international like record holder olympian was
A gymnast.
I'm the kind of person that stel me I can't do something, I will
Tell you I can.
I was like game on.
I would have been the same.
My first high school pole vault meet and I broke the women
And men's record.
In the first one.
Uh-huh.
And all of a sudden a flood gate of colleges just opened.
You are like what's up.
Remember how you said that I was throwing it all away.
Hearing what angela has been through in her life has really
Shaped her and into an incredible person.
And I'm just lucky that I was able to come in this house and
Meet somebody like her.
Angela is pretty amazing person.
I think I jumped like , .
That's crazy.
.
.
Hey.
I rang your door bell six times.
Did you?
Yeah.
I was like ring yurg door bell.
I didn't hear anything, sorry.
No, it's okay.
Last time I talked to kaycee I really didn't get any of the
Answers I was looking for.
She pretty much told me nothing but I'm going to go back n give
It the good old college try and try to see if I can get any more
Answers out of her.
I didn't know if you wanted to talk before nominations.
I don't really have much to say.
I haven't really been talking to anyone, just myself, you know.
Yeah.
But to get the least amount of blood on my handsk I'm sure
You know exactly what I will have to do.
Yeah.
And-- yeah.
I didn't know if it would bees alike a target or as a.
I done have any targeteds in this house.
You know what I am saying.
It just comes down to whoever won the veto and whatever the
Rest of the house wants to do I mean at the end of the day.
I know of course, it is not what you want to hear but-- haleigh,
You want to chop my head off.
No, I'm trying.
I know, it's going to be okay.
Stop, stop.
Look, it's going to be okay.
It's going to be okay, haleigh.
Don't stress.
It's going to be a long week, everyone is going to be okay.
I do feel like have I very minimal people in here.
And she is one that I enjoy.
And I care about.
And you know, I just keep taking a shot and I don't want to go
Through this again.
The past three weeks have just sucked.
Sorry, I had no intentions of crying.
It's fine.
I'm just emotionally drained.
It sucks, the whole situation sucks because it is like I meant
What I said and I still mean it.
Yeah, no I know.
You definitely have me.
I'm just upset because like I know how I feel about you in
This game and how like I am on your side and I have you, it is
So frustrating.
So I do love haleigh, on a personal level, I really, really
Do.
On a game level I have never worked with the girl.
I have always been loyal to level six since the very
Beginning.
The big picture is I am going for the half a million and the
Next step for me to do is to get rid of haleigh.
You're good.
So I got to do what I got to do.
It's nothing personal at all.
Strictly game.
We'll see.
We shall see.
Hey, everyone, it's time for the nomination ceremony.
This is the nomination ceremony.
It is my responsibility as the head of household to nominate
Two houseguests for eviction.
In my mom nation block are the keys of the houseguest I'm
Nominating for eviction.
I will turn two keys to lock in my nomination and their faces
Will appear on the memory wall.
The first houseguest have I nominated is-- .

You haleigh and you sam, haleigh, you put me on the block
Twice.
Sammy, you voted against the house twice.
At this point, I don't have many options.
I really do not.
And I feel like the best game move for me is to prevent having
A lot of blood on my hands.
You know I love you guys and I hope you guys understand.
This nomination ceremony is adjourned. This week is going
Perfect.
Have I exactly who I want on the block.
Have I heyly as my main target.
Have I sam as a pawn.
As long as haleigh does not win this veto, she's going to the
Jury house with threats the rest of her alliance.
I'm a lone soldier of this house.
Every single member of my alliance have been evicted week
After week after week.
But if these people think I'm going to roll over this easy and
Die, they have another thing coming.
Because I'm here to play and I'm going to go win that veto.
It just doesn't seem real.
But kaycee promised me that everything would be okay.
If this is all a lie s and at the end of it, I am standing
There lacking like a dumb a*s, I will tear every door off its
Hinges on the way out of this mother, and I will absolutely
Rip these b*tches to sched ares, I mean lose my mind.
And I swear on everything that's holy they will regret it
Who will win the power of veto and will it be used to
Save either sam of haleigh from eviction?
