17x17 - Episode 17

Post by bunniefuu »

Julie: tonight, one

Houseguest says good-bye and the

Twins say hello as they both

Enter the the game.

Plus an epic battle of endurance

Will determine the first solo

Head of household of the summer.

Welcome to "big brother."

[ Cheers ]

Previously on "big brother,"

After learning that austin told

Jason about the twins--

He told jason if people

Target him he wants liz to be

Saved so that he and liz can go

To jury together.

Austin what, are you doing!

Vanessa, clay, and shelli

Were ready to blow up the

Th sense alliance.

Is this possible we're going

To blow up our alliance.

The plan was to backdoor

Austin.

You lie to me and get caught.

It's over.

I don't trust him.

He's not working with me.

That's it.

Vanessa got the other side of

The house on board.

With the eight of us we get

Those three out and go from

There.

And formed a new alliance

With them.

≫>

After clay won the veto--

You know, I really can't tell

You how happy I am to have this

Little guy around my neck.

Liz learned austin was the

Target.

He created a giant target for

Himself.

He also made a huge target out

Of you.

But she convinced vanessa to

Hear him out.

If he goes out, we're down an

Alliance member.

This is a problem, he is a

Vote.

He is a vote on our side.

Learning his game was in

Jeopardy--

Are you going to put me up?

It's a real possibility.

Oh, my god, vanessa, please.

Austin begged for his life.

I will do anything, anything,

Anything.

Just go figure it out with

Shelli and clay.

If can figure it out with them,

Obviously I'll listen.

I'm never going to go against

You guys.

I'm not going to.

We need that number.

It is not in our best interest

That you go home.

Vanessa neededda I new

Backdoor plan.

Jason is the smarter one.

Getting rid of him is smart.

At the veto meeting.

I have decide to use the

Power of veto to save myself.

Half of the house was

Blindsided.

Jason, take a seat.

Tonight, will becky's game be

Permanently derailed or will the

Supermarket cashier check out of

The house?

Plus, both twins enter the game.

All this live right now on "big

Brother."

Run, you crazy squirrels!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: good evening.

I'm julie chen.

Welcome to "big brother."

It was the biggest surprise of

The summer as vanessa decided to

Keep the th sense alliance

Intact by sparing austin,

Blindsiding jason, and in doing

So, crushing the other side of

The house.

Now jason sids side by side on

The block with becky.

Whose game will come to an end

Tonight?

We'll soon find out.

But first, he was shocked when

Vanessa called his name and put

Him on the block.

But jason wasn't the only one

Blindsided.

I didn't want to blindside

You, but I had no choice.

That's okay.

I don't understand what it's

About.

It's not way I wanted to do

It.

Okay.

But I didn't have a choice.

Apparently this dark moon

Alliance is a big bag of

Bullcrap.

Say what it is or take your butt

Upstairs.

I don't need to hear some stupid

Apology that is as shallow as a

Puddle.

Sorry, buddy.

That's okay.

I feel like a total idiot

Right now.

I've been working with vanessa

This entire week, and I've been

Really close with her, and then

She pulls a fast one on the rest

Of us.

Vanessa, austin was supposed to

Be the replacement nominee, and

You had a group of eight backing

You.

I don't know why you would do

This right now.

Don't cry, meg.

I couldn't be more

Blindsided, angry, upset.

I feel lied to in the house.

I don't know who knew about

This.

Oh, god!

Jason is on the block, and

There's a lot of emotions.

I'm going to lay low and just

Hope they get all the votes come

Thursday.

What can you do now?

In this house, it's hard holding

Emotions in.

This is my life.

So for me, it means a lot more

Than it means to these other

People.

I may be blindsided, but there

Is no way that I am just going

To roll over and die.

I am definitely fighting this

Week as hard as I can.

Because that's what a real

Superfan does.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Was this the plan the whole

Time?

Maybe.

So we were all played?

I was at least.

I don't know about you guys.

Who knows --

I was because I wasn't a part

Of this.

I have no idea.

Everybody is pretty upset,

But guess who's not upset?

Clay and shelli.

And that's when it dawns on me,

Shelly and clay have been behind

Every eviction, and why would

That be any different this week?

That alliance worked very

Well, lasted very long.

Uh-huh.

It was great.

Shout out, dark moon.

Were you nervous when she was

Doing that speech?

No.

Meg, did you see her face?

So good.

I was nervous.

One more for the good guys.

Oh, my god, my dreams just came

True.

Somehow I've been given a second

Chance in this game.

It was a blindside.

It was beautiful.

And now that I'm safe, the

Th sense is coming to

Fruition.

We are k*lling it.

We're the power, and I'm going

To go far in this game.

♪ ♪

It's like our game game now.

They have no chance.

You're telling me you knew,

Right?

Yes.

I wouldn't hold it against

You if you knew.

I'm dead serious.

No, no, I know.

I know.

Both fg you seriously did not

Know?

≫>, of course, I knew about the

Plan.

However, I'm stuck between a

Hard place right now between meg

And vanessa.

I don't know what to say without

Exposing everything that's going

On.

Austin I think made a deal with

Her.

So why did she take that deal

As opposed to keeping up an

Alliance that she created?

Which one?

Like, all of us, the eight

People, the final eight.

I'm sure if she made some deal,

She told austin everything.

Who?

Vanessa, told austin

Everything.

She doesn't look like she's

Doing much damage control.

That is true.

I didn't think about that.

You swear you did not know.

Austin was the plan as far as

I knew.

I feel horrible about being

Lied to and being kept in the

Dark about jason.

If these people can create a

Fake dark moon alliance, then

The least they can do is tell me

What is going on.

I need to get answers.

Come in.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm trying really hard not to

Be personal, okay.

Just bear withy me.

Okay.

I'm just-- sorry.

I'm, like, so hurt today.

I was so excited to work with

You, vanessa, and now I feel

Like a very dumb girl.

What happened was, what went

Down, went down and I

Accidentally remained in power.

People took advantage of that to

Make the move they really wanted

To do.

Did they know about this

Before?

Obviously.

Shelly and clay must feel

Threatened.

Right.

For some reason.

If you think I would do this by

Myself--

I know, I know.

What a dumb-a*s move that would be.

If they pretend they didn't know

That is going to piss me off

Because that is not cool to me.

They know I was the one in the

Line of fire and I wouldn't have

Done it if everybody didn't want

It.

Which nobody admits.

They are lying.

Flat-out lying to you.

That's good for me to know.

Hey.

Hey, guys.

What happened?

Can you tell now?

Because I'm, like, lost in the

Wilderness.

Okay, so it comes down to can

I trust austin more?

And can I trust jason more?

Really, I only have to go with

My gut.

I % back up vanessa's

Decision.

You know my twin thing.

Jason was one of the first

People to find out and instead

Of being smart, keeping it to

Himself, he told the whole

House, and it kind of boils my

Blood.

So that's where I'm at.

And on top of that, the

Majority of people in the house

Agree with me.

That jason should go?

That jason should go.

A big majority.

Are you in that majority?

I don't want jason to go.

But you--

You didn't want jason to go?

I don't want to see jason out of this house

I don't want to see anybody out

Of this house.

When somebody comes to me and

Says, "do you want jason to go?"

No, I don't jason to go.

Are you behind the decision I

Made?

I didn't ask you-- if you

Were one of those people.

It's devastating.

When I called shelli out and

She start freaking out I know

% Shelli was on board with

This, and that's shady as hell

And that, wasn't, like the plan,

And that's why.

Everybody wanted that done.

When presented with the option,

That's what everyone preferred.

I was stuck between a rock and a

Hard place and I just did the

Best I could.

Clay lied to my face.

I'm over being upset about it.

I'm livid.

Clay, shelli, vanessa, austin.

They're all working together,

Aren't they?

Now.

Do you think it's weird that

Certain-- there's been a couple

Of people that have had a hand

In every single eviction?

Clay and shelli, yeah.

You okay, honey?

Yeah.

What's going on?

Oh, I'm livid.

It's the house.

Shelli and clay, too.

Yeah.

I actually think that's who--

Started it.

You okay?

Come in here.

Jackie's in a tough spot.

You've got my vote.

I promise you that.

You're going to get me going.

I feel like, i, like, let you

Down, jason.

I tried so hard.

I don't know how this happened.

We're all so stupid.

Pull it together.

Pull it together, guys.

Why do they keep putting up

My peeps?

Stop putting up my people.

If shelly and clay are trying

To deny the fact they knew jason

Was going to be the replacement

Nominee, that put a huge target

On my back and it also ignights

A little spark of doubt in my

Mind whether or not I can fully

Trust them.

All we can do is make the best

Move we can make with the

Information we have.

Hey.

Honestly, I'm realizing that

This thing happening, like

People coming and asking you and

You're able to give people

Extremely compelling arguments

And reasons.

I was like if you think I

Would do this move by myself.

You must think I'm nuts.

I wouldn't do this by myself.

You're telling everyone the

Whole house on board and the

Only people they're asking about

Because the only people they're

Suspecting you would have talked

To is the two of us.

I recognized that was a risk

And you guys need to recognize

That was a risk we took in this

Move.

I drew a line in the sand--

This is the thing I'm

Concerned about right now.

The only people who now have a

Target for having been in on

This and not saying anything is

Us.

I'm lumped into that, just so

Know.

Not really.

People are now going to come for

Us before you.

I guarantee you, I'm the

First to go on the block.

It's a fact.

Like if you think that that's

Not pocialg you must think that,

Like, I have magical powers.

The fact of the matter is,

This is not a good look for me

And clay.

We have done a really good job

Of building some relationships

On the other sight of house.

And this could really harm us

More than it could harm vanessa.

I just wish we had a game plan

Of what we should say because

Then you would have been saying

The same thing when people asked

That question.

It was so terribly awkward, I

Wanted to die.

Julie: coming up, it's the

Live vote and eviction.

Becky or jason, who will be the

Next houseguest to leave the

Game?

Plus, liz and julia have

Survived five evictions, which

Means they will now enter the

Game and play as individual

Houseguests.

The twins are officially

Revealed to the others live

Tonight.

And big brother wants to hear

From you.

Send us your videos using

#Bbsoundoff to tell us which

Houseguest you're rooting for

And why.

Go to cbs.com/bbsoundoff to learn more.

Stay with us.

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

Upset and betrayed, jason and

His allies know who stabbed him

In the back, but can they use

This information to turn his

Fate around?

I just thought of the

Craziest idea in the world.

Which is?

In all reality, you played a

Better game than becky, so I

Would like for you to stay.

Okay.

How do we get the numbers?

We've got three and we need

Two more.

Who else is there?

Steve, johnny mac, liz and

Austin or clellie.

Those are the three pairs upon

Those are the six.

How do we convince them?

Should we go crazy and look

For austin and liz?

They're stupid.

They need numbers, too.

Liz hates him.

Yeah, that would be super

Hard to flip.

Because shelly and clay will

Not, I feel, because they're the

Ones who did this, and they know

That.

But they're so wishy-washy

And they're so paranoid, that if

You scare them enough--

The dog goes back to their

[ Bleep ] house.

Exactly.

If we can scare shelly and clay

And let them know the house will

Come after them next we, I will

Keep them safe next week.

We need to convince them that

Becky will go after them.

It makes sense.

This is all I have.

I will not lose.

I know you're tired.

I'm doing my one last round.

Oh, get in here.

I know that if game makes us

All, like, really paranoid, and

I've been paranoid.

But I am good with, like, my

Loyalty.

So--

You can come in.

Yeah, yeah.

The first part moof I plan,

Make shelli and clay paranoid.

Which, honestly, should not be

That hard.

I am going to sell them the

Biggest plate of bull that I

Have.

What it really comes down to is

I can be more loyal to you guys

Than becky could ever be.

Becky told me that next week

She's going to put you two up

Against each other.

Did she really say that?

I swear, I swear on

Everything.

Everything.

Part two, I will sell my soul

And my firstborn child over to

Those two.

I'll give you all whatever the

Hell you want.

Literally, and me and meg would

Be so down for the final four.

You can't be in an alliance

With people that you don't trust

Fully.

Of course,.

If we vote to keep you, we're

Playing our cards.

That's going to piss off liz and

Austin for sure.

If you save me, you're the

Top of my totem pole.

You're the top of meg's totem

Pole.

Jackie will be grateful for you.

James will be grateful for you

And you're in a much spot than

Being on the tail end of austin

And liz's, whatever they've

Created.

They're going to be a

Three-headed monster, and

Everyone is going to realize

That.

The biggest target in the

House right there.

Exactly.

I will be so eternally greatful

To you guys.

I am full of anxiety.

I've had to fight every week

I've been in this house, but I

Vanever had to fight this hard,

And this is really my last

Stand.

I will follow you to the pits of

Hell if you leave this b*tch

Here for one more week.

Julie: tonight, becky and

Jason sit anxiously on the

Block.

It's a place all too familiar

With johnny mac.

And while he's never been a

Target, are the others making a

Mistake letting this rock 'n'

Roll dentist slide by?

I'm eating so much candy for

A tentist.

I have more years, more

Years, maybe omy teeth.

Dude it's not an age thing.

If you take good care of them,

You'll die with those.

John here is like a

Different-- different person

Than he is on the game.

He's playing so dumb, it's

Amusing.

He's mastered game and he

Knows exactly what he's doing.

My name is maria and I work with

Dr. John maguire.

Dr. Maguire is very professional

At work.

Stress the sexiness of flossing.

[ Applause ]

Get that flack, get tget it

Out of there!

We're definitely seeing a

Different side of him on the

Show air, a different side of

Him.

Come he were, kitty.

One, two, three!

[ Cheers and applause ].

He's very good with the

Patients.

He's very-- like, he makes them

Feel really comfortable.

You probably just scraped it

On something.

His patients miss him.

My name is george I'm a

Patient of dr. Maguire's.

I absolutely trust johnny mac

When he has the drill in his

Hand.

First year in dental school I

Cut a cadaver head in half.

Why did you do that for

Dental school?

I've done some crazy stuff.

For a bass player, you'd

Think he'd have a little more

Rhythm.

My name is frank.

I'm john's father.

John was always a fun-loving

Kid, did anything he set his

Mind to.

I nearly fell on the floor the

Day he said he was going to

Dental school because health

Class made him sick to his

Stomach.

Have you ever tried shelters

Before?

One, two, three, four.

É [ cheers ]

I'm jordan, my older brother

A john.

Johnny mac seems like a really

Well-liked person, but he's

Still not becoming a threat.

What his strategy was, get

Everyone to like him, and one by

One stab them in the back and

Take over the entire house.

I couldn't believe when they

Were trying to get him to not

Use want veto on himself.

We need to talk to you about

Not using the power of veto.

No!

Johnny mac is still in enigma

In that house.

Nobody really knows the real

Johnny mac and I think that's a

Huge benefit for him down the

Way.

Julie: coming up, becky or jason?

Who will be the next houseguest

Sent packing?

And then julia find out for the

First time she's made it into

The game.

Stay with us.

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

Becky or jason.

One of their stays in the "big

Brother" house is about to come

To an end.

Let's go to the living room for

A live vote and eviction.

Hello, houseguests.

Hi, julie!

Julie: well, everyone, it's

Now time for the live vote to begin.

Becky, jason, in just moments

Your housemates will cast their

Votes to evict live.

Before they do, you each have a

Final chance to sway their votes

With one brief statement.

Becky you're first.

Thank you, julie.

All right, so first off to

Everyone back in colorado,

Friends, family, and your

Support is everything.

Houseguests, we have so many

Strong players in this room.

We get ugly.

We can get intense.

But behind each one of us are

Genuine, kind people and that's

What makes this game so much fun

Right now.

And I will say, jason, it is so

Hard being on the block next to

You.

We're very different.

You're wild.

I'm basic.

[ Laughter ]

But over the last couple of

Weeks, we've become very close,

And your friendship is

Everything so I have no bad

Words, other than the fact, your

Cooking, it needs work.

That's it.

You're a great guy.

Please vote to keep me here.

Julie: thank you, becky.

Long-term game here and

Hopefully you'll see that as me.

True to myself the entire time I

Was here.

No regrets.

Just choices.

Julie: thank you, jason.

Houseguests.

Houseguests, the votes are in.

When I reveal the vote, the

Evicted houseguest will have

Just a few moments to say

Good-bye, gather his or her

Belongings, and walk out the

Front door.

By a vote of -, jason, you are

Evicted from the "big brother"

House.

Be strong.

Go get them, little

Goblin.

Bye, everybody, play hard.

Play hard.

This is "big brother."

I do want to sit at home and see

You all being lazy.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hi, julie!

Hi!

Oh, my god!

Holy cow!

Oh, no, I don't want to see

It.

Wow.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Julie: jason.

Julie.

Julie: you were completely

Caught off guard.

Yes!

Julie: at the veto ceremony

When you were named by vanessa

As a replacement nominee.

You're a huge superfan of this

Game.

I know.

Julie: you know every

Angle.

How did you not see this coming?

You know, I was naive to

Think that this dark moon thing

Was real-- that I really could

Believe the loyalty with these

People.

And it was actually that night I

Sat with meg and I said, "we're

In a good spot.

I feel pretty comfortable."

And I know from this game the

Minute you feel comfortable, you

Are in trouble.

Julie: that is for sure.

Who do you feel betrayed you the

Most?

I would say clellie.

I would definitely think that

Shelli is evil personified.

And I think they're running it.

Julie: and what are your

Thoughts on vanessa?

I think vanessa, honestly,

When it comes down to it, she's

A smart game player.

It was probably a smart move for

Her, but she also is a little

Bit more emotional, and I would

Say has a little bit more soul.

Julie: you've been

Nominated-- you were nominated

Three times--

Forever!

Julie: three times and the

Fourth time on the block was

Just this past week as a

Replacement nom.

Why do you think the are others

Saw you as such a threat?

You know, I wonder that.

Maybe when I watch it back it

Will be clear why I was such a

Big threat.

Le ifeel like backdoing me this

Week is sh**ting fish in a

Barrel.

Obviously, they see something in

Me that maybe I don't recognize.

Julie: well, you are a

Smart player.

Thank you.

Julie: and you da'vonne--

My girl.

Julie: you figured out--

That there was a twist.

Julie: the twin twist, liz

And julia, switching things out every few days.

When you figured it, you didn't

Use it as strategy.

You started just gossiping.

Gossiping to everyone!

Julie: so did jason the fan

Override--

Jason the player?

Probably.

Because you're so bored in

There.

You find out there are twins and

You just want to tell everyone!

[ Laughter ].

Julie: was that a huge

Downfall,.

Probably.

Julie: thinking back.

Probably.

Julie: now, the house, as

You have discovered is divided.

Yes.

Julie: on one side we have

Shelli, clay, vanessa, austin,

Liz, and julia, the twins.

On the other side are your

Allies, meg, jackie, and james.

Can meg, jackie and james

Survive without you and survive

In this game?

They're going to have to try

To.

If this is an endurance comp

Tonight, they need to hold on

Until september.

So I'm hoping-- we all know my

Girl meg has the jello legs.

She might not be too good out of

It.

But honestly, out of everyone

Meg has a very good chance of

Making it far in this game.

People might keep overlooking

Her.

I'm pulling for meg.

But I'm pulling for all my people.

If they win the comps they can

Maybe slide on through.

Jason, I know that you have

So many questions and I want to

Give you some answers.

I'm in a six-person alliance

Called the th sense, and I

Absolutely hate that you ended

Up having to go up on the block.

I absolutely adore you, and you

Are going to be so incredibly

Missed in this house.

Jason, if there's one person

That should have won this game,

It's definitely you.

You know I love you so much, and

I can't wait to see you after

This.

Take care, baby.

Hey, jason.

So I know you thought that you

Had one up on me and my sister.

But she's coming in to this

House, and you're going home.

Have fun watching from mom's

Basement.

Oohh, what a--

Jason, clearly this is the

Toughest one for me.

I'm trying to hold it together.

I miss you so much already.

I don't know what I'm going to

Do in this house without you.

Love you.

Julie: before we say

Good-bye.

Yes.

Julie: any final thoughts?

I was right about everything.

I knew you couldn't trust shelli

From the very first week.

I knew the twins were just evil

Down to the core.

And I knew meg was one of the

Sweet girls in the world.

Julie: we wish you the best

Of luck.

Thank you, julie.

Julie: thank you, jason.

Stay right there.

Up next, when they last swapped

Places the twins were nominated

For eviction, but julia who has

Been in sequester has no idea

That liz won the battle of the

Block securing their entry into

The game to play as individual

Houseguests.

She finds out live, enters the

House, and joins her sister

Next.

Stay with us.

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

Sitting me right now is julia,

Who is about to find out her

Fate.

All right, julia, as you and

Your twin sister, liz, know, the

Rules were the two of you had to

Make it through five evictions

In order to enter the house and

Play as individual houseguests.

And just moments ago, we did

Have our fifth eviction.

So one of two things is about to

Happen.

Either you're going home because

Your sister was just evicted, or

You're entering the house

Because she survived.

Are you ready to find out your

Fate?

Yes.

Julie: are you nervous?

I can feel my heart pounding

Out of my chest.

Julie: all right.

Well, unfortunately, as you

Know, liz was nominated for

Eviction, but a lot can happen

In the "big brother" house.

Yeah.

Julie: and a lot did happen

In the "big brother" house.

Your sister won the battle of

The block.

Oh, my god.

Julie: so that means not

Only is she safe but you're

Safe, and that means you two

Have earned your way into the

"Big brother" house.

Start making your way in there

Now.

Congratulations.

And I will alert the others that

You're on your way.

The door is right there.

Okay, thank you.

Julie: you're welcome.

Houseguests.

I need everyone to please gather

In the living room right now.

Take a seat.

Get comfortable.

All right.

Looks like you're all there.

Well, there has been a lot of

Speculation surrounding a twin

Twist.

And it's time to put that all to

Rest.

There was indeed a twin twist.

One of you has been playing the

Game with an identical twin.

So please say hello to your new

Housemate, julia.

Oh, my god!

Whoa!

It's as if we know her but we

Don't know her.

I know!

Julie: all right,

Houseguests, I need everyone's

Attention.

For the record, liz and julia

Had to survive five evictions in

Order to both play the game as

Individual houseguests.

Over the last days, they

Switched places times.

Wow.

Nice!

Julie: now that they are

Both in the game, it means that

The twin twist is officially

Over, and the game is resetting.

So the battle of the block is

Also over.

That means, ladies and

Gentlemen, from this moment on,

There will be just one head of

Household every week, and two

Nominees.

All right!

Julie: with, that it's time

To get ready, houseguests,

Because tonight you will

Participate in a grueling battle

Of endurance.

The first solo h.o.h. Of the

Summer.

Head to the backyard, and we

Will begin in just a few

Moments.

Powerful player in the game?

My footing, if I were you,

Because there's a storm brewing.

Oh, come on, julie!

Good.

You're all still in this

Competition.

However, I do suggest that you

Hold on tight because it looks

Like you've got some company.

Like you've got some company.

Bye, julie!

Oh, my god.

This is ridiculous.

Ow!

Come on, baby.

That's all you've got!

I know, that really hurt.

My makeup is all over the

Bald eagle.

Oh!

Holy crap!

Oh, wow.

What's that?

Something pretty.

Intense slope here.

It's very intense.

That's not good for me.
