08x31 - Episode 31

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Big Brother ," d*ck,

Daniele and Zach made a deal to take

each other to the final three.

We need to stick together.

Without doubt.

But when Zach became Head of Household--

Zach, you are the new Head of Household.

Yay!

--he decided to betray the Donatos.

I nominated you, d*ck, and you, Daniele, for eviction.

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.

The stage was set for the final and most important

Veto competition yet.

Let's finally defeat evil--

E-V-E-L, so to speak.

If we can't beat these two idiots, we deserve to go home.

Everything depends on this Veto,

because I know that I'm the person

that they're going after.

It's win or go home.

And her wish came true.

Yeah!

[shrieking]

Final three!

And the victory ignited d*ck's fire about Zach's betrayal.

You're the muscle, right?

You're the muscle that's going to get us out of here, right?

You're the one that's going to do it.

You're the HOH.

Too [muted] bad.

Turn on us, [muted].

Ooh.

At the Veto Meeting, all the power was in Daniele's hands.

And I'm taking my dad off the block.

I'm very sorry, Jameka, but I do vote to evict you.

It is official, Jameka.

You have been evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

See y'all.

Bye.

Who will win the final three-part

Head of Household competition?

And which HouseGuests will make it to the final two?

Find out tonight, live on "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

Good evening.

I'm Julie Chen, and welcome to "Big Brother."

It's day in the house, and we're down to the final three.

Who would have thought d*ck and Daniele,

the estranged father and daughter team,

would make it to the home stretch?

Tonight we'll find out if Zach has

the physical and mental strength to take on the dominant duo.

And by the end of this hour, the final most powerful HOH

will be crowned.

That person will then evict one of their housemates

live, deciding who they will take to the final two.

But first, when we left d*ck, Daniele, and Zach,

they had just begun a competition

called The Bunny Hop.

And while they thought it would be a walk in the park,

little did they know it would become one of the most

physically and psychologically challenging competitions

in "Big Brother" history.

HouseGuests, the power is up for grabs.

This competition is called The Bunny Hop.

Now listen up, at least one hand must remain in contact

with your key at all times.

If you let go of your key, fall from your carrot,

or stop the rabbit from moving forward,

you're out of the game.

The last person left standing will automatically

advance to the final round of this three-part HOH

competition.

The competition starts now.

The goal was to win the first two parts of this three-part

HOH competition and not give Zach

even a shot at the third part.

Going into this competition, I told my dad,

if it has anything to do with cold water,

I'm absolutely doomed.

HouseGuests, how you doing so far?

Fabulous.

Well, hold on tight, because do you know what it

takes to keep a garden so lush?

[thunder]

Ah!

Oh, no.

That's right.

It takes lots of rain.

It's freezing.

The water was honestly the coldest water

I've ever felt in my life.

It felt like melted snow falling on me.

Oh my goodness.

I'm freezing.

[groaning]

Bring it.

Seen [muted].

[sobbing]

How did you fix that--

that little [muted] with Jameka.

Awfully white of you, Zach.

How did you explain that?

I want to know.

What about the-- the other comment, that you'd

like to own a m*dget?

That was another really good one.

Ow!

Come on, Zach.

You're quite a guy.

Come on, do the teeth thing.

You always do it when you're nervous,

those big old broken piano keys you got for teeth.

Your daddy's a dentist, and you got teeth like that?

Gone awful quiet all of a sudden.

Come on, Zach.

You ain't got nothing to say for yourself?

You had an awful lot to say the other day

with your [muted] speech.

The problem is, you have confusion when it

comes to fantasy and reality.

In your brain, it's all confused.

The game that's been played in the house

is not the game that's been played in your head.

Nothing to say, Zach?

Come on, [muted].

Say something.

You're a [muted].

You got something to say.

You always do.

You had quite a speech the other day.

Yeah, baby!

Freeze!

Bring it, baby.

It's all right, Daniele.

[sobbing]

[groaning]

[sobbing]

Do the teeth.

Come on.

Chicks love it.

[chuckling]

Right here, [muted].

Is that all you got to say?

I feel good.

No shivering here, and I ain't [muted] leaving.

We'll keep it on.

Keep the water on all day!

All day, all damn night.

And I'm not moving.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Me too!

I'm not moving!

Yeah!

Yeah!

I did tattoos to make myself mean!

[chuckling]

All night.

All day tomorrow.

I ain't kidding either.

Woo-hoo!

All night, right here.

All night, right here.

Yeah!

Spider-Woman tattoo.

It's awesome!

I got a Spider-Woman on my back!

You have dolphins on your back.

Awesome!

Woo-hoo!

[muted]

You're doing great.

Keep it up.

Remember, when one of us can't come through,

the other one always does.

You've got it.

You know Vincent's watching you right now.

I know.

And I'm sure he's extremely proud of you.

Right here, Vince.

Going nowhere.

Come on, old man.

You've gotten this far.

Good job, Zach.

Honestly.

This ain't easy, man.

How are you doing?

He's almost slipped so many times.

You can't move it?

Can you just stand there or no?

You're doing so good.

Are you OK?

Watching him up there in so much pain, freezing cold,

I know he could hardly move his legs.

It sucks.

It sucks.

Then don't quit.

Don't quit.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

He's in a lot of pain.

I can see.

Except he doesn't have anybody here for him.

Nobody cares.

Just hang in there.

You're doing OK.

You've waited three years for this--

three years.

For what, to go out like Kail?

No, for this.

For this.

days.

Only a couple left.

Whatever happens, it's OK.

It's OK.

It's OK.

It's OK if you can't do it.

It's OK.

Here, come inside.

Hurry up.

He stood up there for eight hours, this -year-old fart,

is what I call him.

And of course it would have been nice just to sweep Zach right

out of the competition, but I'm still extremely proud of him,

what he did, and it's OK.

Yeah, I know.

I don't know if I would have gone on near as long as I did

had it not been for Daniele.

I didn't just let myself down.

I let my daughter down too.

Look at me.

Look at me.

What's wrong?

Hey.

Hey!

Just give me a few minutes.

Round two.

I know.

Whoever-- whoever we want--

I know.

Goes to round three.

Round three is all that matters. Questions.

- I know. - For Zach?

I know.

And even if we-- look at me.

- Hold on. - Even if we--

I can't feel my legs.

Even if we don't get there, we already won, OK?

I need to get there.

I know.

It's OK, though.

I know.

Let me get these shorts on.

I just treat him like a drill sergeant.

You've got that guy breathing down your neck,

trying to break you.

And all it does is build you up.

I managed to officially break d*ck.

Coming up, we'll find out who will

go head to head with Zach in round three of tonight's

live HOH competition.

Also ahead, the final eviction of the summer.

Who will walk away from the "Big Brother"

house and their dream of winning a half million dollars?

Stay with us.

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

After a grueling seven and a half hour face-off with d*ck,

Zach won the first part of the HOH competition,

automatically advancing to round three.

Now father and daughter compete against each other.

Going into the competition, I talked to my dad.

We can choose whoever we want to win to go to round three.

I don't think one of us is necessarily

going to be stronger in questions

than the other person for round three,

so we both would give it a go.

Ugh.

I walked out into the backyard, and I saw

two really big tanks of water.

Going into it, I'm thinking, OK, I can do this.

It might not be that hard.

Welcome to Chain of Command.

Before you are two tanks.

In one tank are the pieces to a puzzle.

You must collect these pieces and transfer them

to the other tank, where you will assemble

the red line in order that the HouseGuests

held Head of Household.

The HouseGuest that correctly assembles the puzzle

in the shortest amount of time will move on

to compete in part three, where they will face off against Zach

for the chance to be the last Head of Household

of "Big Brother ."

Once the time started, I ran up the stairs,

ran into the little tank, and started grabbing puzzle pieces.

I'm not very good at, like, puzzles like that.

So I was a little bit nervous.

I know the order of HOH winners, so that wasn't hard.

But there's a lot of double HOHs.

Which picture was supposed to be connected to the last--

trying to figure it out and hold my breath

was really, really hard.

Warm water, right?

Going into this competition, no one

was looking to throw it, which means

that one or the other of us is competing

against Zach in part three.

I knew the order of the HOHs, so I would put it in there

and move it around, and that's it.

Slide it in.

[inaudible]

So let's see who the winner of the second part

of the HOH competition is.

The winner will face me in the third and final HOH

competition.

And Daniele, your time is minutes and nine seconds.

So d*ck, let's see your time.

minutes and seconds.

That's embarrassing.

No, it wasn't easy.

It was hard.

d*ck, you won the second part of the HOH competition.

You're facing me.

I'm ready, man.

For me, it doesn't really matter who

I go against, as long as I win.

I've already taken him down once in the physical.

It would be amazing if I could take him down in the mental.

Hey.

What?

I don't care.

It's just like, that's embarrassing.

I'm ready to get out of here.

The next competition, I'm going to kick

his a*s in the questions.

You don't know that, though.

Yes, I do.

Have faith in me, OK?

Honestly, my goal is to take Daniele with me

to the final two.

One more competition.

God.

It all comes down to this.

Don't worry.

I'm going to do this for you.

We're going to have our fairytale ending,

I'm telling you.

Let's go to the living room and talk with the final three.

Hello, HouseGuests. - Hey.

Hello, Julie.

Zach, d*ck, congratulations on winning rounds one and two

of the final HOH competition.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Daniele, at the end of the Bunny Hop competition,

you showed incredible compassion for your dad.

weeks ago, did you ever think you would have

those feelings for your father?

Honestly, no.

You know, coming in here--

I've said it a million times, you know, honestly, I probably

thought in the beginning that I really wouldn't

care if he left at any time.

It wouldn't have mattered to me.

But coming in here, you know, it doesn't

change a lot of the things that have

happened outside of the house.

But it's definitely a stepping stone

and, you know, I'm definitely ready to look for the positive.

Nice to hear.

d*ck, not only did Daniele take you off the block

a few days ago, in round one, she gave you permission

to step down and let Zach win.

How did that make you feel?

Well, her telling me to step down, it--

it didn't-- I don't know, the permission, it didn't really

give it to me to do it.

It was my legs were k*lling me.

I was just done, man.

I don't know how I stayed up there that long.

Daniele was the reason I stayed up there as long as I did,

for sure.

Zach, d*ck verbally assaulted you

for hours during the competition,

yet you never lost your temper.

How were you able to tune him out?

You know, mentally just, my legs were numb also.

And so I was just-- my whole body just got numb,

and basically my brain was numb too,

so I just didn't really hear anything he had to say.

Thank you, HouseGuests, and I'll be back

to talk to you a little later.

Coming up, Zach and d*ck fight to the finish.

The final round of the HOH competition plays out live,

and the winner will cast the final eviction

vote, determining who they will face in the finale.

Meanwhile, have Eric and Jessica continued their romance

at the Jury House?

Find out when we return.

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

When Jameka entered the Jury House,

the other jurors discovered that both Donatos

are still in the game.

How did they react?

[music playing]

What are you looking at me for?

Because.

- Because why? - Nothing.

- Because you like me. - Whatever.

Whatever?

Whatever with you.

Whatever with you.

So when are you coming to Kansas to visit me?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm hoping really soon.

I'm really glad that Eric and Jessica have gotten their time

away, just the two of them.

Yeah, they're in love.

They are in love.

I'm sorry, they're ridiculous with each other.

I mean, honestly, I would like to see

d*ck or Daniele come here next.

Hey, guys.

No!

Jameka!

I look up, and I see Jameka's big smiley beautiful face,

and I just think--

like, I am so pissed.

I have a lot to catch you guys up on.

A lot.

It was really no surprise for me that Jameka showed up.

The only bed left is in my room.

Yay!

Now that Jameka is here, it's definitely

going to be me and Jameka and Amber hanging out, of course.

And, you know, as much as Eric and Jessica tried to hide it

in the "Big Brother" house when all the cameras were there,

the walls are thin here.

We hear what happens in this house.

Though, some of us are sleeping, it doesn't

mean we're not waking up.

Woo-hoo!

To the best six losers in "Big Brother" history.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Well, guys, a lot has transpired over the last week.

Let's watch together.

[cheering]

I nominated you, d*ck, and you, Daniele, for eviction.

Your tactics are awful.

I don't like them.

Like, obviously it's his best move.

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.

d*ck is losing it.

- Going to. - Zach--

- Wow. - Yes, he did.

- What the [muted]? - He did.

Good for Zach.

I'm sorry.

Round of applause.

That was incredible.

That was hair-raisingly good.

I really-- I really enjoyed watching that.

When we return, round three of this season's

most important Head of Household competition

will take place live.

Will Zach or d*ck become the final HOH?

And who will be in the final two?

Stay with us.

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

In just a few moments, the final round of the HOH competition

will play out live.

d*ck and Zach will compete to become

the final Head of Household.

The winner must evict somebody on the spot,

thus deciding who they would compete

against for the half million dollar prize.

Let's go back to the living room and get started.

Hello again, HouseGuests.

- How are you, Julie? - Hey.

I'm well.

For the last time this season, the power is up for grabs.

d*ck and Zach, as winners of the first two rounds,

you are the only ones eligible to compete.

It's time to see how well you got

to know your former housemates this summer.

I will read the beginnings of statements made by each

of the six members of the "Big Brother" jury

while they were at the jury house.

For each, I will give you two choices of possible endings.

The answer will be either A or B. It's up to you

to decide how you think the juror completed that statement.

For every correct answer, you'll get a point.

The HouseGuest with the most points

at the end of six questions will be crowned

the final Head of Household.

Are you both ready? - Let's go.

Yes, we are.

Good luck.

Question one, Amber said, "The moment in the house that

irritated me the most was--" A, when

Jen cried about her picture, B, being handcuffed to Kail?

Answers, please.

Let's hear what Amber said.

The moment in the house that irritated me the most

was when Jen cried about her picture.

JULIE: The correct answer is A, giving d*ck one point.

Sorry, Zach.

You got it wrong.

Reset.

Jen said, "The strongest competitor in the house was--"

A, Daniele, B, myself.

Answers, please.

I need an answer, d*ck.

Let's see what Jen said.

The strongest competitor in the house was myself.

JULIE: The correct answer is B. No one got it right.

Let's move on.

Jameka said, "The fatal error I made in the house was--"

A, saving Jen with a Veto, B, not

looking out for myself earlier.

Answers, please.

Let's hear what Jameka said.

The fatal error I made in the house

was not looking out for myself earlier.

JULIE: The correct answer is B. You both got it right,

but d*ck, you're still in the lead with two points.

Dustin said, "The most shocking moment in the house was when--"

A, I was evicted, B, Amber went off on Eric.

Answers, please.

Let's hear what Dustin said.

The most shocking moment in the house

was when Amber went off on Eric.

JULIE: The correct answer is B. Neither of you got it right.

We move on.

Eric said, "The funniest moment of the house this summer was--"

A, when Jameka told d*ck that his mama

was a b*tch, or B, when Jen said,

"I will now perform eating."

I'm sorry, what was the second one?

JULIE: Or B, when Jen said, "I will now perform eating."

Answers, please.

Let's hear what Eric said.

The funniest moment in the house this summer

was when Jameka told d*ck that his mama was a b*tch.

JULIE: The correct answer is A. You both got it right.

And now here's question six.

Right now, d*ck, you're in the lead with one point more.

Jessica said, "The person whose gameplay I respected most

was--" A, my own, B, Eric's.

Answers, please.

I need an answer.

Let's hear what Jessica said.

The person whose gameplay I respected most was my own.

JULIE: The correct answer is A. Congratulations, d*ck, you are

the final Head of Household.

Yes! Yes!

- [shrieking] - Yes, we did it!

We did it!

We did it!

We did it!

We did it!

We did it!

We did it!

We did it!

We did it!

We did it, baby.

Yes, we-- we did it.

Nobody could do it.

We did it!

We did it!

We did it!

Yes!

Very nice.

We did it!

We did it!

We won!

We won it fair.

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Good job, Zach.

Very nice.

Come here.

Incredible.

We did it!

Oh my god.

I care that we didn't answer the Jen question with myself--

JULIE: We'll be back live with the last eviction

of this season.

Stay with us.

We did it!

We won!

We won everything!

We won everything!

We won it all!

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Just minutes ago, d*ck became the final Head of Household.

Now he must choose to evict Zach or Daniele,

automatically ensuring the other HouseGuest

a spot in the final two.

All right, HouseGuests, it is important

that we go through the formal steps for this final eviction.

Zach, Daniele, in just a few moments,

d*ck will cast his vote to evict.

You now have a chance to plead your case.

Zach, you are up first.

All right.

d*ck, I don't expect you to use this.

I played against the best of the best.

I lost to the best.

Hopefully when you guys are winning

all that crazy cash in the long run,

you'll think about my inventions.

Good job.

Way to go.

Thanks.

JULIE: Thank you, Zach.

Daniele, what would you like to say?

Ugh, what a summer.

Night and day, who would have thought that we would

have worked so well together?

I know I wouldn't have.

I honestly don't believe I would be here without you.

I honestly don't know if you believe

you'd be here without me.

But amazing team, and I would be absolutely

honored to be sitting next to you in the final two.

JULIE: Thank you, Daniele.

Thank you both.

Just a reminder, the evicted HouseGuest

will have only a few moments to say

goodbye, gather their belongings,

and walk out the front door.

d*ck, please stand and cast your vote to evict.

There is no decision.

Zach, you're out.

Me and you, Daniele, we won this whole thing.

It's done.

JULIE: It's official, Zach.

You are the last person to be evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

It was great playing with you guys.

I don't agree with your methods, but it worked.

Way to go, dude.

Hey, we're here.

Very nice, y'all.

Oh my god.

Have a good time together.

No worries, Zach.

Bye, Roger.

See you guys.

Bye.

Tell Julie hi.

Woo!

JULIE: Hi, Zach.

You can put your bag down and come on over.

It's nice to get out of there.

Hey, how are you?

Give me a hug. - Welcome.

All right.

Please, have a seat.

Sure.

This is not even happening right now.

Yes, it is.

And it's over.

And it doesn't even matter what happens.

Who cares?

OK, come look.

Who would have thunk?

Who would have thunk it?

You and me, baby.

Oh my god.

Unbelievable.

OK, how-- seriously, how did you get the Jen question wrong?

I'm an idiot.

She always used to say--

She always says everything me, me, me, me.

No, but--

How could I miss a me, me, me, me question?

No, but not just that she always used to say--

other than me, Daniele is the strongest

competitor in the house.

That's why we would work so well together.

She always said that.

Come on, really?

Zach, you went most of the game without winning anything.

True.

Very true.

And d*ck said that he and his daughter Daniele

carried you through this game.

Sure.

What were some of your biggest game moves?

When the alliance fell apart after week two,

I knew I had to lay low.

And when Nick left the house, I knew that Daniele

and I could get closer.

And I knew that doing that, I could

ride on d*ck and Daniele's coattails, so to speak,

and lay low.

After laying low for a period of time,

I knew that I could get back in the game.

And that's when I started to make

moves and interact socially with more people.

In doing so, I thought I could establish

better relations with other players in the house.

At that time, it didn't happen.

And that's when I started--

I knew I had to rely on myself.

That's when I started winning.

Well, earlier in the game, you were

buddies with d*ck and Daniele.

Sure.

And then you had strong words for them later on in the game.

Now that you're out of the house,

how do you really feel about d*ck and Daniele Donato?

I went up against the best players in the game.

Daniele won seven things.

I won three.

d*ck-- d*ck's tactics were horrible, awful, totally

humiliated many players in this game, tried to get under me.

JULIE: But did they work?

Not personally, no.

He's a drill sergeant, you know?

JULIE: Not against you, but against others?

Yes, very much so.

Worked against Amber, worked against Eric,

worked against Jameka.

I mean, all I can say is, you know,

they're both good people outside of this house.

It's going to take me a little bit of time

to really get used to them being in the same area as me.

But I think that we all can be friends eventually,

and who knows what the future holds?

When you were HOH last week, that's

when you broke your alliance with d*ck and Daniele.

But we all know that all that really mattered that week

was the Power of Veto.

So why did you choose to make waves then?

To be honest, I never aligned with d*ck or Daniele.

We never officially had anything that was like, dude,

we're all aligned together.

But I knew that I didn't know if I had possible jury

votes on the jury.

So I knew that if I put d*ck and Daniele up and had a chance

to give Jameka her chance, maybe I could buy a vote

or win a vote that way in the endgame,

giving me a chance at four.

Well, Zach, in the event that you were

the one evicted tonight, d*ck and Daniele

taped some goodbye messages.

Let's listen.

Oh, boy.

Zach, Zach, Zach--

honestly, this has been one roller coaster

of a summer for us, from hating each other

to liking each other to-- who knows where we stand right now?

I've had some really good times with you.

Honestly, I've really enjoyed getting to know you.

I definitely do consider you a friend.

There's been a lot of things said within the last week

that I definitely didn't appreciate

that you probably shouldn't have said,

and it honestly hurt my feelings.

But it is just a game.

I'm trying not to take it personal.

And congrats on getting this far,

and I'm sorry it just didn't work out.

It's all a game, and sorry.

Zach, you put up a hell of a fight, man.

I'll give you that.

So far as you thinking of this master

strategizer, when you see the show,

you'll see how far off base you are.

Good luck.

Sorry to see you go.

Not really, because that means Daniele's

here, so not in a mean way, you did great, man.

Final three.

Thanks, dude.

Later.

Final thoughts, Zach?

Uh-- it's touching.

I didn't expect that kind of response from him.

It kind of gives me a little tears.

But it's nice to know that they both are game players,

and we're here to play a game.

Nothing personal.

Well, you're off to the Jury House now,

but we'll see you back here Tuesday when you help

decide who wins "Big Brother."

Oh, boy.

Thanks, Zach.

Take care.

Don't go away.

Wrong side of the sand.

Wrong side of the sand.

'Cause we're the Donatos.

We did it.

The best team to have ever played this game.

Janelle couldn't even do it with her secret partner.

Will couldn't do it with Boogie.

We did something no one could do.

Danielle and Jason couldn't do this.

Nobody has done this.

The best team to have ever played this game.
