ANNOUNCER: Previously on "Big Brother
," Julie surprised the house with a shocking announcement.
JULIE: Tonight, two of you will be
leaving the Big Brother house.
And at the end of the hour, we will be down to our final four.
And at the first eviction--
I vote to evict Jessica.
I have to vote to evict Jessica this week.
d*ck and Daniele betrayed their alliance
with Eric and Jessica.
Jessica, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.
ANNOUNCER: Stunned, Eric had to say goodbye to his girlfriend
in the house.
Jessica, I love you.
Aw.
ANNOUNCER: At the Head of Household competition,
it came down to the final question.
JULIE: Congratulations, d*ck.
You're the new Head of Household.
Yes! Yes!
[screams]
Yes!
ANNOUNCER: And d*ck had to immediately
make his nominations.
I am sorry I'm put on the spot like this.
Jameka and Eric, you are both nominated.
ANNOUNCER: The Donatos had America's Player on the ropes,
setting the stage for one of the most important veto
competitions of the summer.
Ah!
JULIE: And Zach is the winner.
Congratulations, Zach.
ANNOUNCER: At the veto meeting, Zach chose
not to target the Donatos.
At this point in time, I will not use the power of veto
this week.
ANNOUNCER: And the fate of America's Player
hung in the balance.
When the votes were revealed--
I vote to evict Eric.
I vote to evict Eric.
ANNOUNCER: America and our player came up short.
JULIE: By a vote of to , Eric,
you are evicted from the Big Brother house.
Best of luck.
May the best person win.
ANNOUNCER: Leaving the final four to celebrate
their accomplishment.
- Yes! - [laughs]
Yes!
ANNOUNCER: Who will become the next Head of Household,
and who will be the next two houseguests
nominated for eviction?
Find out tonight on "Big Brother ."
[theme music]
You are about to experience a live show like no other.
It's Big Brother fast forward.
Tonight, two of you will be leaving the Big Brother house.
And at the end of the hour, we will be down to our final four.
Time is of the essence, so let's get started.
At this present moment, me and Daniele
have a final four deal with Eric and Jessica,
a final three deal with Zach.
So [laughs] everything's happening right now, man.
JULIE: By a vote of two to one--
I have to vote to Jessica this week.
Jessica.
Jameka.
JULIE: Jessica, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.
Honestly, I tried not to look at her,
because I felt really bad.
Between the four of us, we all stuck to our agreement
for a long time.
It just got to the point where it wasn't in my dad
or myself's best interest.
I'm just so thankful to be here.
But it just felt like a double-edged sword.
Like, oh my God.
Because I honestly and genuinely felt bad that, you know,
Jess was leaving.
I'm sorry.
We have developed a bond that is going to carry
us well beyond this game.
Zach, d*ck, and Daniele should get
armed security, because I am going to be
a maniac for as long as I stay.
Sorry, Eric.
Not surprised.
It's all a game, dude.
I believe that the entire state of Kansas
hates the Donatos right now.
I-- I said I'm not surprised.
I understand.
Sorry.
Daniele, when I asked, you could you have just told me.
Eric--
There was nothing we could have done to change it.
Eric, we didn't--
I-- I-- I did not know then.
It was the last time we talked about it.
I-- that's honestly the only complaint I have.
I just asked for two days with her if I, you know,
knew that she was going to go, and it was not in--
there was nothing we could have done to campaign
or change the votes anyway.
The votes were there either way.
I would have liked to have had the time and known.
That's all.
It was seriously a last-minute decision.
And I'm-- like, I'm sick about it.
Like, I don't feel good.
I don't feel good in many ways.
I'm, like, shaking right now.
Honestly, I had no sympathy for Eric.
It's just all strategic.
It's nothing personal.
Well, we'll see how it pans out.
If I go out and win, we'll see what happens.
If not, I'll see her again in minutes, so it won't matter.
One of the reasons that I'm still here
is because I made a deal with ED.
About an hour before the live show,
ED called me into the gym.
Jameka.
Do you want to stay?
Well, of course.
OK.
One deal.
No negotiation, no nothing.
This is it.
Yes or no, you stay, you go.
OK?
Mhm.
No [muted].
No fingers crossed.
No backing out.
No deals with Eric, no nothing.
OK?
This the deal.
It is what it is.
You'll still be here, and that's the end of the story.
Mhm.
Bible?
Hm, mm, I don't have to promise on the Bible.
That's fine.
My word is all I have.
OK.
Be very, very quiet.
It was nerve-wracking to make that deal with ED.
Up until this point, I've played the game
for a lot of other people, and it's time
for Jameka to play for herself.
Going into this HoH competition,
both me and Daniele know we have to win.
JULIE: During the veto meeting, did Amber say, my journey has
been an amazing journey, before or after she said, obviously,
no one wants to be up in this chair.
It's a crappy feeling.
Answers, please.
I did not know for sure.
I just took the best guess that I possibly could.
The correct answer is before.
Congratulations, d*ck.
You're the new Head of Household.
- [screams] - Yes!
Yes! Yes!
[kiss]
That was awesome.
We were in final four.
We were in final four.
That was-- that-- that was it.
That's all we need.
That was it.
Oh my goodness.
[laughs] And two weeks!
And two weeks!
d*ck keeps, you know, telling me, final three.
Final three.
Hopefully d*ck and Daniele will stick to their word.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I need water too.
This is too much.
Oops, sorry.
JULIE: All right, d*ck.
Please stand up, face your housemates,
and make your nominations.
I am sorry I'm put on the spot like this.
Jameka and Eric, you're both nominated.
Sorry, it is all game.
I really thought I may get stabbed in the back.
But my name didn't come up, and I was like, oh yeah.
JULIE: Get ready, because the veto competition is next.
Ow!
My face.
Going into the veto competition, Eric
knows that if he does not win the veto, that he's going home.
So for him, it's do or die.
Ow!
What the hell was that?
Stop! No!
No!
JULIE: Congratulations, Zach.
You have won the power of veto.
Woo!
At this point in time, I finally have a chance.
I have power.
I have great power.
I love these.
- [crying] - It's OK.
That's OK.
It's OK.
You're not going home. It's OK.
It's OK.
I promise, OK?
I generally don't put too much stock in anything
that ED or Daniele says, but I honestly
felt like I would still be here when it was all said and done.
JULIE: Zach, As winner of the power of veto,
you may remove one of the nominees
from the chopping block.
I got the POV.
I could totally upset the game.
I could really get one of the Donatos out of this game.
At this point in time, I'd really like to use it,
but made an oath to my group.
I'm going to stick to it.
I will not use the power of veto this week.
At the last second, I said, you know, I've
got to keep them involved one more
time in hopes that I can win HoH and really
start upsetting the game.
JULIE: By a vote of to --
I vote to evict Eric.
I vote to evict Eric.
JULIE: Eric, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.
When Eric left, it was a plan coming to fruition.
I felt bad, but it was what we planned.
The final four is of mine and Daniele's choosing.
I wish that I didn't have to go back on my word to Eric.
But at the same time, Eric's been probably one of
the biggest liars in this game.
He's betrayed many people.
And you know, sorry, but sucks for you.
Nothing but game.
No-- no ill will.
Guys, best of luck.
May the best person win.
Send Jen our regards.
Love you all. Will do.
Hopefully, she's dead by shark attack.
[laughter]
You OK?
Thank you.
You OK, Jameka?
Mhm.
When Eric left, it finalized the whole mentality of I'm
on my own in this game.
And I'm going to do the best that I can,
and I'm going to decrease and let God increase
and just let him do his thing.
And I hope that I end up pulling this thing off.
Oh my God, you guys.
Look at the board.
gone!
You guys!
So weird.
Holy smokes.
Congratulations on final four.
Final four!
Now, don't overlook that whole fact.
Final four.
Final four.
days!
We made it to the final four.
[laughs] It's so weird!
This rules.
This is so awesome.
I'm-- I'm so excited.
I'm-- I'm-- I'm thrilled.
I-- I can't be any happier.
With the agreements that we have with Zach and with Jameka,
we're both in the final three.
Guaranteed.
Oh, stop freaking out.
We just want to talk for a minute.
I'm not freaking out.
I'm laying on the bed.
You're going to bed?
d*ck and Daniele once again run off and do their thing.
Coerce without me.
I thought I was a part of the group.
I guess I wasn't.
Oh!
Oh my God!
[kiss] Oh my God.
[laughs]
I know.
You know what?
Zach's an interesting guy.
I describe him as the friend on your cell phone,
where every time he calls you, you ignore it and then
listen to his voice mail.
Obviously, he's gotten this far, honestly, being
drug along by me and my dad.
I had a great time playing this with you guys.
I'm glad you could trust me in the end.
Oh boy.
New pictures.
Wow.
Those are pictures of us?
There won't-- there won't be any of Zach.
- Wow. - This is going to be weird.
Oh, look at how cute.
We all walked downstairs, and the memory wall
had changed to new pictures.
Those pictures were going to be part of the HoH competition.
We didn't know how.
We didn't know why.
All we knew was that we had to study the pictures.
How cute?
Look at from day one.
Ah, look at Eric falling from the Janelle-O-Vision.
Who is that?
Oh my God, that's Dustin.
That's hilarious, huh?
I think I got really distracted by laughing at the pictures
and reminiscing over those days.
Who do you think that is?
I know.
I can't believe-- look at that picture.
The bunnies.
Study everything.
Everyone by the back door!
It's time for the Head of Household competition.
[screams]
Hi.
Yi-yi-yi.
Oh man.
[inaudible]
I want it so bad.
It's funny, because week two, I probably could care less
if my dad went home or not.
You know, I never thought I would want to work
this hard for me and for him.
Well, even though I've only been HoH for a little while,
it's time to pass the key along to one of you.
Yay.
Welcome to Picture This.
Wow.
You will be asked to answer a series of questions
based on the photos that recently
appeared on the memory wall.
All the photos were from competitions in which we
battled each other this season.
If you answer correctly, you will
take one step towards the top of the platform.
If your answer is wrong, you will stay right where you are.
The first person to answer seven questions correctly
and stand at the top of the platform
is the new Head of Household.
I had absolutely no one to rely on.
In order for me to stay alive in this game,
it's essential for me to win the Head of Household this week.
This is a big one, so good luck, and picture this.
In the picture of "For Those About to Slop,"
how many black guitars are standing
upright in their guitar stands?
Everyone reveal your answers.
The correct answer was one.
Zach, take one step forward.
Question two.
How many houseguests are not wearing
bunny suits in the picture of "Let's Make a Duel"?
Can you please reveal your answers?
Five.
Five.
Five.
The correct answer was five.
All of you can take one step forward.
Question number three.
In the picture of "Name that Pie,"
what was the Blue Team's score?
Everyone please reveal your answers.
Six.
Six.
Six.
The correct answer was six.
Everyone take one step forward.
And at this point, we have Daniele with two,
Jameka with two, and Zach with three correct answers.
Question number four.
In the picture of the competition
known as "Shot for Shot," what color is Dustin's shirt?
Everyone reveal your answers, please.
Gray.
Blue.
Blue.
And the correct answer was blue.
Aw.
Daniele, Zach, take one more step forward.
Question number five.
In the picture of "Cut-Throat Christmas,"
how many houseguests were wearing sunglasses?
Please reveal your answers.
One.
Three.
Four.
The correct answer was four.
Daniele, take one step forward.
That brings the score, Jameka with two,
Zach and Daniele with four.
Question number six.
Who is wearing a bow tie in the picture of the competition,
"The Mad Hatter"?
Everyone reveal your answers, please.
Mike.
Mike.
Mike.
And the correct answer was Mike.
All of you have gotten that right.
Everyone take one step forward.
Question number seven.
In the picture of the "Humpty Scramble,"
how many swirl mats can be seen reflected in the window?
Can everyone please reveal their answers?
Two.
Two.
Two.
The correct answer is two.
Everyone take one step forward.
Watch out, guys.
Which brings the score to Jameka with four,
Daniele and Zach with six, only needing one more correct
answer to become this week's Head of Household.
Wow.
Question number eight.
Are there any rats in the cage in the picture
of "Cat Scratch Veto"?
Please reveal your answers.
No.
No.
No.
The correct answer was no.
Both Daniele and Zach have reached the top
with seven answered correctly.
There will be a tiebreaker question to determine who
is the next Head of Household.
Jameka, you can step down now.
OK.
For the tiebreaker question, it will be a number answer.
The closest number to the correct answer without going
over will be the winner.
Good luck to both of you.
What was the total number of houseguests
in the competition pictures on the memory wall?
OK, reveal your answers.
.
Oh my God.
.
And the correct number is .
Good job.
Hey!
Good job.
Very good.
Zach, you are the new Head of Household.
Yay!
Woo-hoo!
My first reaction was, oh, she lost it.
And then I thought, it didn't matter at all.
We've been working closely with Zach,
and we've held up our end of the deal.
Great job.
Thank you.
Very nice job.
Nice job.
Good job.
I'm really starting to fire it up and light
everybody up in this game.
I've got HoH.
I've got power.
It's time to start wielding it.
That couldn't have been closer.
Daniele, that was awesome.
Very nice, Daniele.
That couldn't have been any closer.
That was an awesome job.
I am really, really proud of you.
Baby, it's OK.
[kiss]
[sighs]
You couldn't-- it could not have been any closer.
and ?
[sniffs] I don't want to see a stupid HoH room again at all.
[sighs]
Freaking one stupid-- I had absolutely no idea.
And I knew--
I even looked at that picture, and I said,
I need to count how many guitars are in the stupid picture,
and I didn't.
One of us.
No, not necessarily.
[sighs]
The three of us, Zach, Daniele, and myself,
are basically going to be competing
for the POV against Jameka.
The only thing that can screw this up
is if Jameka wins the POV.
[sighs] And that's what she's afraid of.
I just don't want one of us to go home this week.
And like, no offense or anything,
but I know if it's one of us, it's going to me, and it sucks.
We've gotten here.
We can do this.
But you never know.
This sucks.
This sucks.
This sucks.
This sucks, this sucks, this sucks.
Who wants to see my HoH room?
Not me.
I want to eat your food.
Number two.
Then there were four. - Oh my God.
[inaudible] - Is this everyone?
So awesome.
- All right. - Whoa!
[laughs]
Wow.
Oh my God, dude.
Look at that.
What's up with the ears and the hair?
Oh, that's my dad, my older brother,
and my younger brother.
Oh, that's so cute.
That's a great picture.
Who is your letter from?
Everyone.
Good.
I don't think anyone really wanted to go up there.
We were just up there last week.
It was just a bunch of bitter grapes
up there that really didn't care this time around.
Well, read your letter.
Congrats.
Thank you.
Yay.
OK, Congrats.
Congrats.
"Dear Zach, where do we begin?
Oh, how we miss you and can't wait to see you again
and give you a kiss and a hug.
I am proud to say that you are my son,
and I love you and miss you."
Oh, that's cool.
Oh man.
Just getting a letter from my folks was huge.
And I don't think that I'm going to be
able to have the extra strength to push forward.
This gives it, right here.
Remember, when a door closes, a window opens, and you
have found the open windows.
Love, your mom.
[laughs] Oh, God.
Oh.
Reading that letter totally proves to me that there's only
one leg of this journey left.
I have to win it.
Cheers.
HoH, final three.
b*tch!
Everybody wanted us out!
Like, [muted] week two.
Daniele's bummed, because she's afraid
that if Jameka wins the POV, that she's going to go home.
She hasn't proved herself yet.
I know.
I'm like, honey, relax.
It's like three of us that have just
been k*lling the competitions against this girl
that hasn't done [muted].
I don't know.
If we're here, they have to vote for us.
That's right.
That's why we've got to get Jameka out of here.
Think about it.
Dustin would vote for her.
Amber would vote for her.
Jen, she'll vote for the man on the moon.
And now, you put Jess up, we voted her out.
[laughs] You know what I'm saying?
Those two votes would go.
I mean, Eric maybe would think strategically, but Jessica--
I think he would, actually.
But Jessica?
She won't.
We've got to get Jameka out of here, dude.
The worst case scenario going into nominations
is me going against Daniele.
I need Zach to get Jameka on the block,
because she is a threat to win this game.
I had this thought, like, two months ago,
that it would be you and I in the end,
and I still think that.
Yeah.
Trust me, I would prefer going up against you
or Daniele in the final two than Jameka.
This is kind of where the line in the sand, so to speak,
is drawn.
If I don't put d*ck or Daniele up on the block,
then I've got two Donatos in the final three
that I have to deal with.
That's all I can think about, is we've got
to get that b*tch out of here.
Hi.
I don't want to bother you.
No, I was just thinking.
Me too.
I've been playing this game personally
alone the entire time I've walked through.
And that's what kind of puts you and I
in a position to where I think we can make a difference.
Get you a little further.
Get me further.
Mhm.
It just comes down to the bottom line
that we will not be selected when it's the final three.
If they're together, one of us is doomed.
Yeah.
And that's-- that's the facts.
For sure.
I want to put both of them up.
Without a doubt.
Mhm.
I want you to play your a*s off for POV.
I hope to God you win.
I hope to God you can vote, and I hope you vote Daniele out.
Daniele.
She's a big threat.
I will take you to the final three.
You play your a*s off in the POV.
I will.
I will.
I don't have any other choice.
That's the whole thing.
You have a chance to really send one of those two home,
and I want one of them gone.
Yeah.
[doorbell]
It's open.
You're obsessed, huh?
No.
[sighs]
OK.
So I have a question.
Sure.
Are you going to put me and my dad up?
I have no idea.
I'm just trying to figure out what--
what is the best possible chance for me to get to the final two.
That's really what I'm thinking about right now, to be honest.
But you do know that if you go up against Jameka, you know,
there's no chance that you're going to win.
Honestly, if I go to the final three
and lose against you or your dad, I don't get [muted]..
You or your dad will definitely not take me to the final two.
%.
Yeah, but I think anyone against my dad
won't win either.
There's no chance.
Are you kidding me?
He has played the best game, hands down.
You think so?
Think so?
Are you kidding me?
Zach, me and him walked in this house with [inaudible] targets
on our backs since day one.
Him especially, being, you know, walking
downstairs and everything else.
I don't agree, but that's fine.
OK.
He likes to strike fear into people and make them afraid.
It worked for him.
It did.
And, I mean, you winning all these competitions
worked for you.
And me sh**ting under the radar, playing dead for like /
of the game and finally really starting to play.
I knew what I had to do in order to survive to get here.
It wasn't by chance.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything,
but you think that you stayed under the radar,
but I can tell you, hands down, for more than the first half
of this game, everybody--
I'm just saying. Everyone wanted you out of here.
Everybody wanted me out.
Sure.
But there were certain people that--
That were more important at the time.
No, there was certain people who
defended you and threw other people out so you would stay.
A little luck.
Which I don't believe in.
A little luck?
That's not luck, Zach.
I don't know what you'd call it.
You call luck people sticking up for you?
Dodging b*ll*ts.
Fate.
What do you call it?
People had your back, like, whether you want to think it
or not. - Who?
You guys?
Dad.
You know, it's hard to believe his word.
I couldn't believe that.
I mean, that's how I've felt ever since I
walked through this door.
I've had to worry about myself.
I had to-- I spent a month here playing chess against myself
and eating alone because everybody was
deferred and doing their own--
I mean, doing things without me.
I don't know.
I'm just trying to figure out what's going to put
me in a good spot in the end.
That's all I can really think about it.
It's just hard.
It's a really hard decision.
Zach, honest to God, thinks that he's
going to win this game.
[laughs] It's amazing.
Like, I-- what game are you playing?
Because I'm not playing the same game as you.
Well, that's all I wanted to say.
Like, honestly, do whatever you want, like,
whatever's better for you.
I just don't know--
I don't know what it is.
Nobody can beat my dad.
Your dad's an idiot.
Yeah, I know.
No.
Yeah, I didn't leave the room on good terms either.
[laughs]
I don't care.
I'm going to go talk to him.
This guy is so stupid.
He couldn't figure out how to get
his underwear on if his mommy didn't help him in the morning.
Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure.
I don't want to get into any long conversation.
Fine.
Basically, we had a deal to go into the final three, you, me,
and Daniele. - Yeah.
And we would have held up our end of the deal.
Yep.
And you're going to do whatever you're going to do,
but I would hope that you don't break that deal at this point.
I understand.
There's been a lot of [muted] go down from
the beginning of this game.
Let me tell you, Daniele has had your back from the time
that Nick left this place.
At this point in the game though, you know,
when you're in the final four, you
just have to do what you think is the right move for yourself.
Dude, I'm telling you right now.
I'm not even going to have this conversation,
because I'm going to be pissed. - That's fine.
That's fine.
I'm telling you right now, we would have brought
you into the final three.
If you don't do the same thing, you better
be [muted] good with the POV.
That wouldn't have have guaranteed me anything.
I have to use what I think is best move for me
to make it to the final two.
It's anybody's game.
If Jameka, d*ck, or Daniele truly
want to stay in this game, then they
better compete to fight for it.
I'm nominating two people in this game
that I feel extremely threatened by.
And I want to go up against people
that I can definitely win against so that I
can get to the final two.
Me and Daniele, our agreement with Zach
was that he wouldn't put us up together.
I want to see Jameka go.
Jameka has to go this week.
Everything is on the line.
This is the final nomination ceremony.
We are here competing for half a million dollars.
That's no joke.
It's nothing to joke about.
You know, some people are here to make relationships,
have friendships, whatever.
I was here to play a game.
I came here to play.
I started stepping up my game in the end.
I'm still playing.
I'm still here.
I'm grateful for where I am.
I feel like I did it on my own.
I really never had any confirmation from anybody
in this game that I had friends.
I hate having to be in this position,
seriously, to really pick two of the closest friends
that I have here in this house as well
as somebody that has restored my faith
with God, which is huge to me.
I'll pull the key.
Jameka, you're safe.
Thank you.
Thank you, Zach.
We wouldn't have it any other way.
On the block twice.
[kiss] And one more time.
Didn't work for the two-- first two HoHs,
and we're planning on it not working for you as well.
I expected that.
Damn straight.
And we expected that.
I nominated you, d*ck, and you, Daniele, for eviction.
d*ck, Daniele, I mean, you both rule in this game.
Your tactics are awful.
I don't like them.
But they work, and they were incredible.
Daniele, I think you've won six things in this competition.
It's impossible to win against you.
Probably impossible to win against you.
I probably can't win.
You'll find out tomorrow.
But to be honest, either way I look at it,
I would rather at least give her a fighting chance in this game
and level the playing field, because you
two dominated this game.
And that is so unfair, at least to Jameka.
OK.
That's unfair?
Nobody had the stones to truly try and muscle you guys out.
Well, I'm the muscle, and I'm going to try
and muscle you out. - OK.
You do it, brother.
I'm going to try.
Good luck, tomorrow.
And all I have to say is either way,
if she doesn't make it, and you guys
both do go to the final three, well, you got your wish.
We're here, and neither of you guys
were going to take me to the final two anyway.
So--
Oh yeah?
Either way, you've got it.
- That's right. - So--
We know.
This meeting is adjourned.
Thank you.
I am very excited.
The fact that Zach's the person that I
would least expect to look out for me is just humbling.
I definitely, without a doubt, put my neck on the line,
putting both d*ck and Daniele up on the block,
and I have to win this power of veto.
It's the only shot that guarantees that one of the two
of them are going home.
Zach is a very c*ck person, going into the veto competition
thinking that you're going to smoke us,
because it's only going to ruin you.
It just makes you want to win just to shove it in his face.
It's going to be brutal, to put it lightly.
It might be the final three, but it's really not.
If we win the POV, we win the game.
Don't you get it?
Zach is not winning this game.
There's no way.
ANNOUNCER: Who will win the final power of veto
and who will be evicted next?
Find out Tuesday at :, : Central
in a special live episode of "Big Brother ."
