10x26 - Episode 26

Post by bunniefuu »

ANNOUNCER: Previously on "Big Brother."

Dan and Memphis's Renegade alliance

continue to dominate the game.

JULIE[VOICEOVER]: Congratulations, Dan, you

are the new head of household.

ANNOUNCER: And a surprise visitor brought

the houseguests big news.

Got something you officially launched a very

special luxury competition.

Yeah.

The winner will be awarded an amazing trip

out of the house, a trip that could impact the game.

ANNOUNCER: At the Luxury competition,

the houseguests tried to decipher a secret phrase.

Surrounding you are a number of clues.

The clues will help you uncover a common phrase.

Where sleeping dogs lie.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Fruitless exit.

ANNOUNCER: And Dan took the prize.

Congratulations, Dan, you're the first person

to decipher the secret phrase bury the hatchet,

so you have won a private helicopter

trip to a remote island beach for a day.

You can take one of your current housemates

or a jury member of your choice.

ANNOUNCER: Dan decided to take a jury member.

I've decided to take Michelle.

ANNOUNCER: And lie to his housemates.

I didn't want to create any animosity in the house,

so I didn't pick anyone.

ANNOUNCER: With the final veto approaching,

the Renegades weighed their options.

If I go up on the block, that might make her think

that we don't have something.

It might make Jerry think that we don't have something.

There's more to gain by putting you up.

ANNOUNCER: At the nomination ceremony,

they put their risky plan in motion.

I've nominated you, Memphis, and you, Jerry.

ANNOUNCER: Who will win the final power of veto?

And will the Renegades plan pay dividends or backfire?

Plus, what will happen when Dan comes

face to face with Michelle?

Find out tonight on a special live episode

of "Big Brother ."

JULIE: Good evening.

I'm Julie Chen.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

It's day , and one week from tonight

the winner of "Big Brother " will be crowned,

but the game is far from over.

With Dan in power, the Renegades are running the house

and have their sights set on the final two,

but with the power of veto still up for grabs,

anything can happen.

Tonight, whoever wins the final veto not only

guarantees themselves safety, they could

also be the sole vote to evict.

We'll find out who wins the power of veto,

and if it will be used later on.

But first, hoping to keep their Renegade alliance a secret,

Dan made a risky move and put Memphis on the chopping block

once again.

Keesha, you're safe.

I've nominated you, Memphis, and you, Jerry.

I think at this point, it's tough to nominate anyone.

There's only so many options.

However, the one thing I do have to say

is the fact that this POV is going

to be one battle for the ages.

With that being said, this nomination ceremony

is adjourned.

Me and Memphis agreed to put him on the block

so that we can continue to cover the Renegade alliance.

By Dan nominating me, Dan gets Keesha's

and Jerry comes to me ready to go to w*r with Dan and Keesha.

If this all works out, then me and Dan control

everything in this house.

Thank you.

It's really nice not to be on the block,

because this makes me think that maybe Dan, you know,

would actually want me in this house over Memphis.

Dan betraying Memphis for the second time

allows me now to going to Memphis

and try to make an agreement to go to the final two

by offering him all the support I can possibly give him,

because I think Dan has a commitment to Keesha

to keep her in the game.

Are you serious about going all the way?

It's on now.

Let's do it.

He just keeps on showing me that he doesn't give a [bleep]..

I told you that before.

If they rid of me, and you stay, I'll guarantee you that you'll

win this son of a b*tch.

The past couple of weeks, all these plans that we've

come up with and conjured up, have all kind of

fallen right into place.

It's kind of perfect.

It makes you feel confident.

Did Memphis know that you were putting him up?

I told him like real late.

Was he OK with it?

I mean, how--

It sucks.

Yeah.

I mean, I was very grateful.

I just didn't want to-- it was very awkward.

It was kind of like what one of those

where everybody kind of like looks at you.

You know, you've never proven anything but what you've said

to me, so that's what I go off.

I don't care what you said to other people.

I don't know, I just--

It's so rare that you have that

in this house, where people actually

have each other's backs.

You know what I mean?

It's just, you know?

And then you've got Jerry running around here putting

something in everybody's ears.

I just learned in this game you only have so much control.

You know what I mean?

But, I hope you realize that this POV. you're

going to be able to control whether you win it or not.

I know.

I think this is going to be a matter of how bad you want it.

Whoever comes up with the win in the Veto competition

will decide who goes home this week.

The thing that's great for the Renegades this week

is the fact that Keesha or Jerry comes up with the veto win,

I can influence Keesha who to vote out,

and Memphis could influence Jerry who to vote out.

No.

I know this POV means everything.

Literally.

Hey, Memphis?

Huh?

All I ask is that I'm not been played for a fool.

You know?

Nobody's playing you for a fool Jerry.

Because she's much too happy right now.

Well, she's not on the block.

Yeah, but in POV, it doesn't matter, you know?

There's only one person can go if we lost.

I know.

And she's playing it like she just got the golden--

I think it's just her, how she, you know?

I know.

You're my only hope, baby.

Yep.

I may be yours.

You're my only hope, Jerry.

When you two were huddled over the bar

was he like talking big time?

He was just like blah blah blah like all this stuff, dude.

It's so hilarious.

You'll be able to slice him, right?

Yeah.

Renegades, baby, come on.

I told you, man, it'll be a great pleasure

if I send his a*s out the door.

I don't care.

It couldn't have worked any perfect, so far.

I really thought he was going to see

right through the nomination.

The plan we've come up with is pretty good.

However, the only % way to ensure the Renegades safety

is for Memphis to win the veto.

Dude, we've gotten a little lucky in this game.

Yeah.

JULIE: Up next, for the first time in Big Brother history,

a houseguest had the chance to meet alone with a juror

before the final vote.

Could this twist change the outcome of the game?

Plus, the final Veto competition of the summer,

who will hold all the power?

Stay with us.

Welcome back to "Big Brother o."

After winning last week's luxury competition,

Dan chose to take Michelle on his island getaway.

The last we heard from Michelle, she said she

wanted to do Dan physical harm.

Will this trip change her mind or seal his fate?

My gosh, you get to leave this house today.

Is that like surreal or what?

Yeah, I mean, still it's like I'll believe it when I see it.

The houseguests think I'm going to a private island, which

I am.

However, what they don't know is that I'm

taking a jury member with me, and I selected Michelle.

ANNOUNCER: Dan, please go to the diary room.

This is a great opportunity for me

to sway Michelle as a jury member, who've

I've done tremendous wrong to.

All right, here we go.

This trip is either going to make me or break

me in the Big Brother game.

Wow.

Weird.

Gas, $..

It's going down, huh?

So we might be doing all right.

Good job.

America.

Whoa.

Awesome.

I've never been Hold helicopter.

Very excited.

Oh, it's like you're floating.

This is amazing.

Look at that house.

Oh my gosh.

Oh, wow.

Tell you what, I feel very blessed.

Being form the Midwest, I never thought I'd be able to get

to see anything like this.

I'm a little concerned about Michelle's reaction.

I'm sure Michelle appreciated the fact that I picked her

for this trip, because I'm sure she's

never been in a helicopter or a private beach,

much like myself.

Now whether or not she's going to be able to forgive

me for back dooring her.

That's where I've got to work some magic.

Nice ride.

It's crazy.

The only thing Michelle knows coming out on this trip

is the fact one of the houseguests

won a luxury challenge, and they selected her.

She has no idea who selected her.

I think she'd expect any one of the houseguests

to select her except for me.

I know it's not Rhode Island, but

welcome to our private island.

Thanks for coming.

Oh, God, Dan.

You surprised to see me?

Yes, I am surprised.

Thanks for coming.

It means a lot.

I can't believe you picked me.

Why wouldn't I?

It was an easy choice.

Are you serious, Dan?

Are you hungry?

- Yeah, let's go eat. - Let's get some lunch.

Nice.

Michelle hasn't seen the charming Dan yet.

If I land the charm on Michelle, it may

be enough to swing her vote.

Bless us, Lord, in these gifts we're about to receive.

Thank you for bringing Michelle here,

and her not being extremely mad at me,

maybe just a little bit mad.

Amen.

Amen.

You know, when we came out to the lunch table,

I saw there was wine.

That's my truth serum.

I know I needed to pump Michelle with as much wine as possible.

Hey, at this point, anything I can use to win this game,

I'm going to do.

Was everyone like where you going?

Could you tell them anything?

Well, I didn't know anything.

The only thing they know is that I'm

going on a private beach by helicopter,

and they think I'm by myself.

And Jerry is the one, he's going there's something more to it.

You're lying. You know, what I mean?

That's what he said to you?

Yeah.

I mean, it's not Hawaii, but, I mean,

it's still a hell of a trip.

It was really nice of Dan to have picked me.

He said that he picked me because he

felt bad about me getting my Hawaii trip taken away from me.

Whether I believe him or not, I don't now.

I figured maybe you're working on a vote right now.

Me? never.

Right now, I'm in paradise, so it's like you want

to believe anything you hear.

You hate me?

I was really devastated.

I was like, why did he just do that?

In this house, someone's gambled with someone else's

safety, and unfortunately, you better know

who's making a bet for you.

In this case, Ollie you lost the bet, Michelle go on the block.

Was it just your idea to back door me

or did everybody know about that?

Renny, Keesha, and Memphis all knew.

Those three knew.

I'm not trying to put the blame on them,

but that move benefited them tremendously.

You know what I mean?

I think the fact that Dan told me Memphis, Renny, and Keesha

knew that they were going to put me on the block,

puts a lot of things in perspective for me.

So they all knew about it?

Yeah.

That's the one thing I regret, because we were--

I felt we were close in the house.

And then, you know, we always got along, and like it

was just one of those things.

It's like, God, you know?

I know I have a long way to go to even

be-- for you to even be my friend,

but I'm glad that we were able to enjoy this.

Do you think I have any chance of winning?

I don't know.

I really don't, honestly

If it comes done-- well, if it was me and Memphis,

could you sway anyone, or is everyone pretty much set?

I think so, yeah.

Out of everybody in the house, who

do you think could sway people?

Me and Dan did have a really good relationship in the house.

We got along pretty well, and it was really nice of Dan

to have picked me.

It was probably the best decision that he made.

Let's go for a swim.

I feel good about this trip with Michelle.

I think I've won her over a little bit.

The more fun I have with Michelle with kayaking,

swimming, the more time she's thinking about how great

of a guy I am, and how much she wants to vote for me

for the half million dollars.

Thank you.

Thanks, Michelle.

JULIE: Coming up, it's the most important

Veto competition of the summer.

Can Memphis or Jerry save themself

from the chopping block.

Plus, the live veto meeting and eviction.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to "Big Brother ."

Tonight's final Power of Veto competition

is the most important to date.

As head of household, only Dan is completely safe.

With four houseguests left, the veto

winner will hold all the power.

They could cast the single vote that sends someone

to the jury house tonight.

Who will win the power of veto?

Let's find out.

You win this POV, then you get to decide

who you want to send home.

That's a lot of power to deal with.

That's a huge upper hand.

It all comes down to this.

Welcome to Stairway to Veto.

Each of us has a staircase with steps.

There are two clues on each step.

You must correctly identify the evicted houseguests that

matches up with the two clues, place

the name plate of that houseguest on the step,

and hit your buzzer.

If you're correct, the name will light up,

and you may move up to the next step and the next set of clues.

Once all names are correctly placed on each step,

race up your steps and be the first to hit

your button at the top.

Each of us are now only steps away

from winning the final and most important Veto competition yet.

This veto competition is the most important competition ever

played in "Big Brother ."

I'm absolutely going to fight to win.

I'm a competitor, and I'll give it my all.

This veto, it's huge.

There's no one else to nominee.

I know I'm going up if I don't win this.

It's a lot of pressure.

At this point, I have no vested interest in winning

this veto competition.

You may see the art of the throw come back just one more time.

[whistle]

The only evicted houseguest to eat both crickets and pig ears

was Michelle, so I knew that right away.

This week, I've got to get some heat off me.

If Memphis wins the veto, he will

be the sole determining factor of kicking

someone out this week.

He, for once in this game, will get blood on his hands,

and people might forget about me.

I had no idea who was on the Chardo-Nay-Nay team,

so that didn't help me out.

Then I finally realized, eight to zero, Angie.

I think that I have a good chance at this game

because I'm pretty good at clues and knowing

a lot about the houseguests.

Damn.

When I read the th Flower to Leave the Garden of Veto,

I had no idea what they were talking about,

and I just took a stab.

[buzzer]

You know, I'm flying through this competition,

but I can't see the other houseguests.

I don't know if I'm doing better than I should be at this point.

Oh my God.

[buzzer]

Damn.

I got to the top of the pyramid.

Memphis was the only person that I was able to see,

and I could see he was at least two steps away

from where I was in the puzzle.

So I knew I had to slow down and start taking my time.

I put Angie up there twice.

I put Steven up there twice, and I put Ollie up there twice.

So that's six trips on one step, with three of the same names.

I mean, I couldn't throw it any better without looking shady.

I'm keeping a close eye on Memphis.

I want him to win.

Come on, Memphis.

Let's go.

Whoo.

Yeah.

Whoo.

Good job.

Winning this veto is huge for me.

Huge.

You know, I'm glad that I have the sole vote to send

somebody home this week.

It's a lot of responsibility, but, you know, it's business,

and that's the way it goes.

Memphis, congratulations, you won Stairway to Veto.

Good job

Congratulations.

I don't trust anybody in the game.

I'm going to have to rely on Memphis because he's

my only out right now.

I need Memphis to save me.

Do I trust him to do it?

I don't know.

I feel like a complete a*s right now.

I could be walking out the door this week.

I'm definitely hoping that Memphis

honors this final two deal.

I need Memphis to honor his word more than ever.

I don't think I'm going to take this off.

I'm just going to leave it on.

Oh my God.

Dude, we just sealed the final three, you realize this?

It's amazing.

One more competition, it's done.

Dude, we couldn't have written a better script.

We just got to make an educated choice, man.

I think at this point, we have to make

the decision based on how do we almost guarantee

ourselves to get there?

We have to make a very tough decision.

Who do we want to compete against in the final three?

Is it Keesha or is it Jerry?

We've got to take a lot of things into account.

We've got to look at endurance and will.

You know that's the first part.

Who would you rather go against?

Jerry.

As you've seen, he's got a cataract in his right eye.

He's got a hearing problem.

This is the thing.

He might be our safest bet.

At this point, the Renegades are leading, and keeping Jerry

in the house yet another week.

This guy has floated through this entire game,

and he might have floated himself to the final three.

[buzzer]

Hey, baby.

I'm sweating.

You're not going to vote me out, are you?

No, Keesha.

Dude, I've got to put you Up

Oh, Dan.

That sucks.

My fate lies in your guy's hands again.

You should be used to it.

Right?

At this point.

At least, you didn't unpack.

I mean, nobody should--

everybody should might as well be packed.

I'm going to bed.

Goodnight, Keesha.

They're gonna fricking evict me.

I don't want to be cut off right now.

Way too close.

Hi.

Well, come on in.

All right, listen up, you guys.

What are you doing?

Sleeping?

Are you guys evicting me and somebody's not telling me?

You're not going to tell me.

I can tell by the look on your face.

You're getting rid of me.

I can tell.

I can tell by the way you guys are acting.

You're insane.

I'm not insane.

I just know it.

You're evicting me, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

Stop.

I can tell, Memphis.

I can tell by the look on your face.

You guys are voting me out.

You guys?

Memphis is voting me out.

OK.

Just freaking tell me beforehand,

because if you catch me off guard like that,

I swear to God.

Whatever.

I didn't get this far in the game

by not being able to read people.

Well, whoever the [bleep] sends me out of here better not think

they're getting my vote.

That's for damn sure.

Better not think I'm not going to do

everything in my world to change their minds in that jury house

too.

I mean, that's just [bleep] common sense.

[bleep] send me out of here.

Oh [bleep].

Come here.

Come here.

No.

Are you going to at least tell me?

Or you going to tell me why?

I need to say I'm sorry.

Memphis, how long did you know this?

How long did you know that you were going to [bleep]

send me out of here?

And did you know the whole [bleep] time?

You knew, didn't you?

You guys [bleep] lied to me.

For how long now?

Oh my God, I am so stupid.

I've [bleep] stuck up for both of you.

Nobody has anything to say all of a sudden/

Wow.

Are you kidding me after [bleep] everything,

you're really going to send me out of this house?

And you're keeping Jerry.

Oh my God.

I'm really trying not to flip out about this.

I should have won the [bleep] POV.

The thing is though, I would have kept Memphis.

That's how [bleep] stupid I am.

I don't want you to go.

It's him.

Dude, he's been this whole time.

I'm trying to find a way to keep you.

Whatever.

I mean, I don't have any control.

I can read people so well.

That's the thing, like--

You're sorry?

You're sorry?

I kept you in this house how many [bleep] times,

and you're sorry?

I've always had his back.

I've always [bleep] had his back.

This decision is big.

The fact is I could be sitting home three weeks from now being

like, you know, I should have chose

this person over this person.

It could definitely be a $, decision.

You know you've got my vote?

No way I'm [bleep] giving my vote

to somebody who votes me out.

No way.

JULIE: Let's go into the living room

and check in with the houseguests.

Hello, houseguests.

Hi, Julie.

JULIE: Congratulations on making it to the final four.

One week from tonight, one of you

will be crowned the winner of "BIG Brother ."

Now, some of you suspected a little monkey business

at the luxury competition the other day.

Let's watch.

He's hilarious.

Is that Jessie in it?

No way.

Oh, classic.

JULIE: Keesha, you and Jessie had your moments in the house.

Wow.

JULIE: If you'd known it was him in the gorilla suit,

what would you have said?

I probably wouldn't have been so giddy.

I was really excited to see that gorilla.

I can't believe it was Jessie.

JULIE: Memphis, let me turn to you.

First of all, congratulations on winning the power of veto.

Thank you, Julie.

JULIE: But I do have one question for you

that everyone's dying to know the answer to, what

exactly is a fruitless exit?

You know, Julie, I have no idea what that is,

but I felt like I had to guess something,

and that was the only thing that came to my mind.

I know, it was pretty bad, but--

JULIE: Dan, congratulations on winning the luxury competition.

Thank you very much.

JULIE: How was your trip?

It was awesome.

You know, being a kid from the Midwest,

I never thought I'd get to go in a helicopter,

let alone a private island, and I had the time of my life.

It was really quite an experience.

JULIE: Jerry, this is your fourth time on the block.

How surprised are you to still be in the house?

Julie, I made an offer on the house.

I'm going to buy this place.

JULIE: What's the offer?

How much?

I knew you'd listen.

JULIE: All right, well, thank you, everyone.

I'll be back in a little bit.

Coming up, after winning the veto,

Memphis holds all the power.

What will he do?

The live veto meeting and eviction are next.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to "Big Brother ."

Let's go into the living room for the live veto meeting.

Houseguests, it's time to begin the final veto meeting.

Memphis, as winner of the power of veto,

you may use it to save yourself, Jerry,

or leave the nominations the same.

Please stand and give your decision.

Guys, obviously, I've chosen to use the power of veto

on myself and take myself off the block.

JULIE: All right, since Memphis used the veto, Keesha, you are

the only possible replacement nominee, so please,

take that seat next to Jerry.

Thank you, Keesha.

Jerry and Keesha, I'd like to give each of you

one last chance to address Memphis, who holds

the sole vote to evict tonight.

Jerry, your first.

Well, Memphis, it's been a great ride.

To be here weeks and to experience the thrill of agony

and all of the defeat and things like that, to still be here,

I feel very honored.

And I hope that you'll honor keeping me here

tonight, and thank you very much.

JULIE: Thank you, Jerry.

Keesha, it's your turn.

I actually don't care to say anything to Memphis.

I would like to take this time to say something to Dan.

I want to thank you so much for being there for me

for the last couple of days, because it's been really rough,

and I don't know what I would have done without you.

So I want to wish you good luck in this game.

JULIE: Thank you, Keesha.

Just a reminder, the evicted houseguest

will have only a few moments to say

goodbye, gather their belongings,

and walk out the front door.

Memphis, please stand, face the nominees,

and cast your vote to evict.

Guys, this wasn't an easy decision at all.

But you know, I look at this game as a business plan,

and I've chosen--

I vote to evict Keesha.

JULIE: It's official, Keesha, you have been evicted

from the Big Brother house.

Jerry, give me a hug.

Good luck.

Thank you.

I wouldn't be here without you.

I've got two things.

There's a message for you on the bottom of this.

Look at it when you get out, and [whispering]..

I didn't hear you.

Oh.

Finish it.

Bye, Keesha.

Bye, guys.

- Thanks for everything. - Bye bye.

Good luck.

Hello, Keesha.

How are you?

Put your bag down.

I really can't believe you did that though, man.

You're out of your mind, if you think I'm taking you.

Out of your mind.

JULIE: Keesha, what did Dan whisper to you

just as you were exiting.

He took Michelle on the trip.

JULIE: And you sounded surprised.

What do you think of that?

I had no idea.

None of the houseguests knew.

So this is huge.

It's huge.

JULIE: Did he explain why he did that to you, or did he simply

state it?

I think that he's looking for Michelle's

vote in the jury house.

JULIE: But he didn't say that to you?

He did not say.

JULIE: What is on the bottom of the duck he handed you?

I don't know.

JULIE: Can you make it out?

Hot.

JULIE: That's all?

I thought there was like a secret code.

I did too. I did too.

I guess not.

It just says hot.

JULIE: Memphis was at one point your ally and your friend,

and he just evicted you.

Yeah.

JULIE: What's going through your mind?

I was shocked.

I figured it out last night on my own.

JULIE: How did you figure it out?

Jerry was acting too calm in the house.

You know, when Jerry is flustered, he usually shows it.

He's not good at hiding his emotions,

and Jerry was very calm, so I knew that Jerry

was told that he was safe.

JULIE: And then you confronted them.

I confronted them.

Memphis turned beet red, and walked out of the room.

Didn't have anything to say to me.

He kept telling me the whole time that I was safe.

I'm very hurt because I feel like I've saved him many times.

I mean, one time I completely turned votes around

to keep him in the house.

This is how he repays me.

JULIE: So why do you think he did this to you?

I think that Memphis was afraid that Dan was

going to take me to the end.

JULIE: So he had to get rid of you.

He didn't want to chance it.

JULIE: Well, in the event that you were evicted tonight,

your housemates did tape some goodbye messages.

Let's listen.

Keesha, you know, it's hard for me to tell you this,

to say goodbye.

I'm really sorry I had to vote you out.

I hope you can understand that it's the only thing that

made sense for me and my game.

I hope you can respect that.

Hopefully, you can forgive me for sending you home.

Keesha, this will be a surprise to me

if you get this message, because it

would show that your alliance wasn't good to the end.

I do wish you a good long journey.

Keesha, you know, I don't know what to say.

If Memphis send you home this week,

you know, I tried to do everything

I could to keep you in the house,

and it's really hard to see you go.

JULIE: What do you think of those goodbye messages?

I appreciate the messages.

I do.

It's a game--

JULIE: And from Memphis too?

He's playing the game.

JULIE: Well, we will see you back here one week from tonight

when you help decide who wins this game.

Thank you, Julie. JULIE: Thank you, Keesha.

Thank you so much.

JULIE: You're welcome.

And I'll talk more with Keesha tomorrow

morning on "The Early Show" on CBS.

And you can hear more from Keesha live tomorrow

at : PM eastern : Pacific on "House Calls," the Big

Brother talk show at CBS.com.

Coming up, the battle for the final head of household begins.

Stay with us.

Welcome back.

It's time for the final head of household competition to begin.

Hello again, everyone.

We're about to begin part one of the three

part final HOH competition.

And because this is the final HOH,

everyone is eligible to compete.

This head of household will single-handedly

choose who will sit next to him on finale night.

This competition is called Wing and a Prayer.

Tonight, you are all wing-walkers.

If you don't want your plane to roll,

I suggest you keep your balance.

The last person standing on their plane

will win the first round of this HOH competition.

Is everyone ready?

Yes.

JULIE: Dan and Jerry?

Yes.

Yes.

JULIE: Yes from all three?

Great.

Then prepare for takeoff, because the competition

starts now.

As a reminder, the winner of this round

will automatically advance to round three

leaving the remaining two houseguests to battle

it out in the second round.

Winners of rounds one and two will face off

in the final round to determine who will be

the last and most powerful HOH.

Enjoy your flight, houseguests, I'll be back to check

on all of you in just a bit.

The houseguests have a bumpy ride ahead of them.

Stay with us.

Welcome back.

The houseguests are in flight, and there's turbulence ahead,

but first, here's what's in store for the rest of the week.

I'll be back live this Thursday at :/: Central when

the final head of household is crowned

and chooses who will sit next to them in the final two.

On Sunday, at :/: Central, a special episode with scenes

never before seen on "Big Brother "

and the summer's most outrageous and hilarious moments.

Then one week from tonight, join us for the live finale as all

of the former houseguests reunite and the jury of seven

chooses the winner of "Big Brother ."

To see how this competition plays out,

go to CBS.com for the live hour internet feed.

airs live each night from : to : AM on Showtime .

Now, let's return to the final HOH competition

and check on the houseguests.

Gentlemen, how's everyone doing?

Memphis?

JULIE: Jerry, how you're hanging in there?

Still here. JULIE: Looking good.
