,%, And have never waivered.

There is no reason why you turn your back on the two people who

Have been there for the past five weeks.

Announcer: after holly agreed to throw the h.o.h. And

Veto.

You have to throw the h.o.h.

And the veto.

Announcer: ...michie guaranteed them a spot in the

Final three.

I'll go with you all.

I will lie to cliff and nicole's face and not feel bad about it.

If holly stays, there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'm

Picking cliff or holly.

Announcer: with a new deal in place, cliff and nicole sent

Tommy to jury.

Julie: by a vote of -, tommy, you are evicted from the

"Big brother" house.

Announcer: holly kept the first part of their deal when

She handed nicole the head of household on a silver platter.

Congratulations, nicole.

You are the new head of household.

I am going to final three!

Announcer: the long islander put the showmance on

The block.

I have nominated you, michie, and you, holly.

Nominations really don't matter this week.

It really comes down to the power of veto.

Announcer: with the final veto of the summer on the line,

Michie punched his ticket to finale night.

Oh, my god!

Announcer: jackson was intent on taking his lady to the

End with him.

We're going to finale night.

Sorry, cliff.

I will love you as a man, but I'm going to have to send you

Home this week.

And to the hogg family, I'm very sorry.

Buthat I'm going to have to do this.

Announcer: but cliff and nicole were still totally

Okay, still final three.

I've got an agreement that gets me there, and I think he'll do

It.

Announcer: tonight, how will cliff react when he learns

He's a hogg to the slaughter?

And what will he do to avoid eviction and still number the

Running forkin for the half-million-dollar grand prize.

I'm going to keep fighting until they drag me out of the

Damn place.

Announcer: plus, witness the romance...

Revelations.

We do know each other.

You know each other!

≫announcer: and rivalries.

What did you not expect about my game?

So you don't respect it.

Announcer: all this right now on "big brother."

Don't ever quilt!

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: good evening.

I'm julie chen moonves.

Welcome to "big brother."

For days, two pairs have outlasted all the others on an

Improbable run through this game.

On one side, cliff and nicole, an unlikely duo of outsiders.

On the other, michie and holly, the last remaining showmance.

But only three of them will make it to finale night, and the

Ultimate power to choose which three rests in the hands of

Michie.

We'll get his decision before the hour is up.

But first, michie has kept cliff and nicole in the dark about his

True intentions for tonight.

Is it time to come clean?

I appreciate you guys.

I appreciate you guys, too.

Oh!

Now that michie has won the veto, he's going to take himself

Off the block and then cliff has to go up as a replacement

Nominee.

I am holding on to hope that michie will high pressure his

Deal with cliff and keep cliff safe and send holly home this

Weekend it's very refreshing when people say things and mean

Them and stick to them.

I love you to death, more than anything, but i--

Uh-oh.

...do want you to know...

Uh-oh.

This will be the final three.

Holly and I were unwaveringly loyal to you.

Is that a bug?

Yeah, there's one right here, too.

Is that a bug or-- no, this is a bug, though.

Oh!

I knew this was coming.

I knew it.

Michie hammered me and cliff last week about not sticking to

Our words, not sticking it our deal.

I knew it.

I knew it.

How dare we even consider getting rid of holly before

Final four?

It's my own fault.

Can we talk?

Michie makes a final three with cliff, looks in the eye,

Shakes his hand, and los and behold, mr. Integrity himself

Breaks it.

This isn't the kind of "big brother" that I wanted to play.

This isn't.

I came here to be open and honest and loyal to people.

My handshake and my word is rock solid until it's not

Reciprocated.

And when you all were going to keep tommy and then--

Just don't use that as an excuse.

It's not.

Don't use last week as the excuse for this week.

Cliff is not the one that was questioning voting out holly.

I was.

I love you.

And I've always said you're not a fourth wheel to a tricycle.

This is going to be a great finale night!

I'm such a dumb a*s.

You're not.

I am.

Here's the thing is holly and I have not at any point

Considered going against y'all.

And then it turned into y'all were going to take tommy to

Final four.

Because I knew this was going to happen.

Here's the thing, it wasn't going to happen this way.

I don't believe that.

My word with y'all was unbreakable.

Holly's word was unbreakable.

Then when we realized you were going back to the final four

Deal we had for five weeks, okay, if we have to lie and go

Back on our word, too, we'll do it.

It's not the game we wanted to play but it's the play we have

Been forced to play.

This is not a conniving plan we had.

I see the trajectory, and I see the game you and holly have

Nicely set up and prepared and it's well done.

It's very well done.

This isn't a master plan.

It's very well done.

There are three h.o.h.s that you can very well win.

You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit

For.

So much more.

No, don't go down the southern gentleman route again.

This whole game I listened to nicole's gut, and the first time

Ever in this game I trusted cliff's gut.

Oh!

Oh!

We should have just kept tommy.

And I'm officially th the dodo b with the showmance in the final

Three.

This is how b.b. Ended, nicole and the showmance.

I hope we can keep this between us.

I wish you didn't tell me.

Michie told me to do him a favor and not tell cliff.

Ignorance is bliss.

Tell you what, michie, you do me a favor and go... Yourself.

Tell you what, michie, you do me a favor and go... Yourself.

Hello!

Hello!

How are you doing?

Bad.

What?

Can I talk to you?

Yeah.

It's really bad.

Another it's all right.

They're thinking about flipping.

Okay.

And... They don't want me to tell you.

[ Sighs ] it's okay.

Nicole, it's okay.

I'm numb, disappointed is the right word.

I want to stay calm for nicole's benefit, but inside, I'm

Screaming at the top of the lungs-- how could you do that to

Me?

He sat here and he was like, "you know, I'm a man of my word.

I'm a man of my handshake, that means something to me.

And you guys went against that.

None of this would have happened had you guys not gone against

It.

We didn't, we kept it.

I could tell it was game.

He was lecturing me, and I could tell it was for the game.

I'm just infuriated.

I'm very upset.

I'm sad for you.

I'm sad for me.

I'm disgusted.

I'm done.

I'm so done, cliff.

I do believe there's a difference between a final four

Agreement amongst a bunch of people and two guys shaking

Hands word to word, looking each other in the eye.

I'm over it, cliff.

We have fought so hard to advance every single way we

Could.

I did not come here to play for fourth place or third place.

I came here to win the whole thing.

I'm going to go talk to him.

I hate this!

Look, it's a game.

Michie is just a real hypocrite.

I don't quit!

I don't surrender!

And I will do what I have to do.

I'm going to keep on fighting till they drag me out of this

Damn place.

I'm not okay with it.

Julie: up next, it's been a while since we checked in on the

Jury.

And if you think there's been a lot of new developments in the

"Big brother" house, wait till you see the surprising new

Romance in the jury house.

Then, having won the final power of veto, michie has not only

Guaranteed himself a spot in the final three, but by using the

Veto on himself, he will cast the sole vote to evict tonight.

That veto meeting and eviction coming up.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big brother."

Tears, romance, and game play exposed.

No, I'm not talking about the past week in the "big brother"

House.

I'm talking about the past three weeks in the jury house.

♪ ♪ That looks really good.

Wow.

Just in time for juror number four.

My favorite thing about the jury house has definitely been

Jack.

We've gotten a lot closer, and our relationship has gotten a

Lot stronger.

Agreed, yes.

Hi, I'm dumb.

I knew it was going to be you!

Him walking through the door is my worst-case scenario.

Like, it sucks.

You smell good.

Thank you, I know.

I got a little haircut.

Tommy gave me one.

Tome, bro.

Oh, no!

Tommy got blood!

I definitely feel betrayed by tommy.

I've had his back throughout this game, and once he had

Already promised christie the vote, I really didn't have a

Chance, % betrayed.

I had my bags, though.

Hey, guys, surprise!

Hey!

It's never a good feeling getting evicted from the "big

Brother" house, but I do have a say in who does get to win.

So I feel like I still have a little bit of power.

Who won?

I think I should show you guys.

Yes, please.

I honestly cannot wait to see this.

Good job, girl!

Wow!

I you are the new head of household.

You've got six wins right now, bro.

He is numberable.

He's the goat!

Greatest of all time.

Greatest.

Personally, I wouldn't want to reward michie's dirty game.

Yeah, he is a comp beast, but it's so much more than winning

Comps.

You actually have to plie great social game pup have to be a

Good person, too.

The first houseguest I have nominated is...

The next houseguest I have nominated is.

He could have put up christie and tommy!

Come on!

I have decided to use the power of veto on christie.

Exhale.

Exhale.

Christie is tome's number one.

You had him on the block!

And you don't send him home!

Oh, my god!

And your road to fame is getting this, because we were

Both major comp beasts.

Jessica, you are evicted from the "big brother" house.

They didn't get cliff out?

Are these people stupid!

If you have him on the block-- exactly.

You send him home.

I honestly can't wait to see which juror is coming next.

Well, that's the thing, guys what?

It was a double eviction.

Shut up!

Shut up!

It was a double eviction!

Oh, my god!

All right.

I'm not very artistic.

I think it's beautiful.

I'm digging that heart.

It's for nick.

Kat and nick look extremely close.

What has been happening is the past week in the jury house, I

Need to get updated stat.

That's really nice.

Don't care.

Nick and kat, their relationship has blossomed a

Lot.

The things that they secretly really liked each other and

Couldn't really do anything about it, and now they're busy

Doing other stuff together.

♪ ♪ Now we're in the jury now.

Relationships definitely change between the "big brother"

House and the jury house.

Like nick, for example.

I hated him airfare got evicted.

But once you're, like, stuck in the jury house, like, you get

Your "big brother" goggles on and everybody starts looking

Real good.

No, I'm kidding.

Yeah, yeah, no...

I'm not answering that.

I wonder who it's going to be.

You think cliff maybe won and he took a shot at michie, maybe?

Why are all my favorite-- oh!

Because you evicted us!

I didn't expect to see you because you've been manifest

Thawrpg going to win this double for a month.

So, the manifestation didn't come true very well, I guess.

Thanks, nick.

My eviction was just really shocking to me.

Bro, you made a deal with the devil.

It happened so fast, I just assumed everyone had the same

Common enemy, and that was michie.

Welcome to jury!

I genuinely thought they could win this thing and,

Clearly,y can't now, so that's a bust.

You were always scared of the double evictions.

Yeah, I manifested going out on the double eviction, clearly.

So as much as I don't want christie to be in the jury house

Because I can't stand her, I really, really am happy it see

Her come through these doors.

She betrayed people that trusted her.

She wasn't really loyal it anyone, and she just lie her way

Out of everything.

Girlfriend!

My girlfriend is here!

Sorry, nick.

I can give you credit.

I can I say I don't respect your game but you played a good one.

I don't know how you couldn't respect it.

So you have something to show us?

Yes.

Let's check it out.

They're going to get it on camera right now.

Like, nik and kat are a thing in this house.

I'm speechless.

Kat freaking hated nick and now they're totally hooking up.

And, I'm sorry, but I thought nick had a girlfriend when he

Left.

So what about bella?

Are you still thinking about bella?

This is horrible!

All right, let's watch!

Julie: nicole grabbing her final piece of her puzzle.

Finally wins a comp.

Yes!

Julie: and congratulations, nicole!

About damn time, nicole!

Nicole won something!

Wow!

If nicole were able to win more comps, I definitely think she'd

Earn my respect.

I'm nominating you, christie, and you, tommy.

So, I'm surprised because all week, me and tommy, nicole and

Cliff had spoken and said, "listen, like a big shot needs

To be taken.

A big shot needs to be taken.

We need michie and holly out."

They're working together, and cliff spilled the beans to me.

Those four are working together?

Bingo!

I'm actually starting to see a little bit of a new light to

Nicole's game, and that she may not be floating by.

She probably did come in with a specific strategy, and if she

Played it, she played a lot of us.

I knew she was planning on putting up you and tome.

I'm not salty I left before you, but I was in a really good spot

And you blew up my game.

You were salty you were going to go.

What were my options, nick?

Don't commend me for lying.

Lying is part game.

Why are you salty at me?

What do you not respect about my game.

You blew up my-- so you don't respect it.

That was my only way of saying-- I feel that's the most

Respectable way to go about it.

If you're going to blow up your friends' game--

I blew up someone's game playing against me.

Didn't you blow up tommy's game?

No, tommy is sitting in the house and I'm still here.

You blew his stuff up that week.

I blew your stuff up, and that's why you're the only one

Hurt about it.

Can we press "play," now.

Julie: it's now time for the power of veto competition.

I can't even watch the veto, honestly.

I can't even watch thonestly.

They changed it!

Oh, my god!

Julie: congratulations, cliff!

[ Cheers and applause ] you have won the power of veto.

[ Cheers and applause ].

Yeah, I knew it was true when I changed it.

It wasn't meant to be.

Julie: christie, you are evicted from the "big brother"

House.

I'm actually kind of surprised that you went next to

Tommy, though?

Why are you surprised?

It's hard to beat tom nea time two.

He's going to get picked off next.

I really hope not.

I really, really hope not.

We'll see what happens.

He better win.

Mickey and holly are going to be final two.

Hole will.

Holly is probably going to win the game.

Mickey and holly have been the power couple, and as the

Weeks progressed they seemed to be getting stronger and

Stronger.

So on just a strictly game level, I feel that nicole didn't

Make the best game move in getting me out.

I just don't see how michie wasn't the obvious choice to

Take a shot at.

There was a tiny window of opportunity to get him out, and

She did not take that shot.

Well, guys, it's been a crazy week.

I can't wait to see who the next houseguest is.

Julie: up next, tommy joins the jury house with news of

Secrets and lies.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

Christie and tommy had the biggest secret of the summer and

With tommy's arrival at the jury house, it's time to spilt beans.

Nick thinks he's still playing "big brother."

So, guys, who do you think is coming?

I think it might be nicole?

I'm feeling cliff and nicole.

I don't feel tommy's energy here.

I don't think it's tommy.

[ Cheers ].

Oh, my god!

My eviction was insane, the back-and-forth, cliff and

Nicole.

One minute they're telling me they're voting to keep me.

The next minute they're not.

It was really tough.

I really didn't feel your energy.

Tommy, what happened?

I'm going to tell you guys.

We're going to go in there, but before I do that, we've got to

Have a little chat, me and you.

Oooh.

I think that my biggest mistake in the game was confiegd

In jackson and holly with telling them I had a

Relationship with christie prior to coming into the house.

All right, we'll be inside.

Yeah, we'll see you guys.

You guys are cool?

Yup.

Now that I'm here in the jury house I do not intend keeping

Any more secrets.

I am all secreted out.

You weren't supposed to be here!

When you left, it was very clear that you were their number

One target the whole time.

They were very adamant about how they felt about you.

I'll tell you, I told them in the house.

You did?

Oh no way!

I wanted to disassociate myself from you.

I have not told anyone here, so... It's actually k*lling me.

Listen, guys, we have to tell you guys something.

We do have a secret.

We do have a secret.

We do know each other.

We know each other.

You all know each other!

Stop!

You guys are serious?

I was dating one of tommy's family members for seven years,

And we went to elementary school together.

No!

Was this just so happens or was this a twist?

We didn't know about it until we walked in the house.

So this is awkward, I know.

Nobody knew.

Honestly, I don't want to toot our own hordz but we did a

Really, really slick job.

I have to say the hardest part about the game was

Navigating our relationship.

I felt like it was easy.

You had each other.

You were never going to vote for me if sitting next to her?

If I was the deciding vote, no, family comes before "big

Brother."

I know nothing!

I already felt betrayed by tome before he came here, and

Now I feel even more betrayed because he had her back over

Mine when he didn't make it seem that way.

That's some...

That's why I'm sitting here.

Let's do this.

Michie, you're the new head of household.

Yes!

This kid is a freak.

He's crazy.

"Big brother" is more than just winning comps.

He's not just a physical threat.

Oh, I didn't think he was.

He's one of the best players ever.

I don't care.

You knew you were going up.

Yeah.

Congratulations, nicole!

You have won the golden power of veto!

My god, nicole won.

She was going to win this because she is a gamer.

Socially, she manipulated three of you all really well.

Nicole has been the deciding vote numerous weeks and has made

The decision to get herself to the top four.

Yup.

I give her credit.

Nicole seems like she's been saving up her steam.

No one saw her as a threat.

But I also think nicole has played a huge factor in every

Eviction.

It seems every vote comes down to nicole's voice and who she's

Going to vote for.

For someone quiet, she's making an impact on the game.

I pitched to nicole and cliff, I would throat h.o.h.

Jackson said I was playing both sides, I was gunning for cliff

And nicole.

He completely made it up.

I didn't say anything.

And they believed that?

They wound up, you know, keeping holly at the last

Minute.

Julie: tommy, you are evicted from the "big brother"

House.

I love you.

I am not a fan of michie, but I do think michie's playing a

Really good game.

It's a really dirty game, which, although it's crappy, it is

Working out, and he's doing a good job at it.

They should have kept me.

I would have kept my word.

And would have stuck with them.

I would have been final three with cliff and nicole.

I think holly made a deal with cliff and nicole as well that

She would throw the h.o.h.

Holly was able to maintain a really great relationship with

The entire field of the household.

Therthere was a lot of cool game move she was able to pull off.

She at the end of the day, won two h.o.h.s.

I think anyone in that house right now has a great chance to

Win the game.

I don't think this is an easy decision.

There are facts and social game and competition, everything and

Into it as to why each person should win.

I'm voting for the best player.

I'm voting for the best game.

I'm happy to see you here in a weird way.

I'm happy to be with you, guys!

I love you guys!

Julie: up next, it's the th hoyer for cliff.

Then michie will no doubt use the veto to save himself.

Giving him the sole vote to evict either his girlfriend or

Cliff hogg.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

Cliff sees writing on the wall.

Time to go "hogg wild."

♪ ♪ Aaah!

What a day.

I'm so ready to have this done, michie.

Six days, man.

I know.

Michie is incredibly stubborn.

And I'm asking him to evict his girlfriend?

That is going to be tough to get him to budge on that.

But you know what?

I still have a few cards up my sleeve.

He can destroy my game, but I think I can destroy his as well.

Our agreement was just man to man, look another guy in the eye

And make the promise.

I think if I had won the veto, you would fully have expected me

To honor my agreement, which I was absolutely planning to do.

Only after you had your safety did you say now I'm going to

Break my worried, now they know I don't need you to protect me,

It's one way.

Once I realized tommy was going to stay, everything

Changed.

But you know he didn't stay because of me.

Right, I do know that.

I was pushing to honor the agreement, and I figured out a

Way to make it happen.

I know.

And I think that's what troubles me.

We are made from the same cloth.

We are.

And I think you and I handshake is unbreakable.

If you thought about if you do make it to that final seat, the

Jury votes.

Figot sent home, and it was you and nicole, nicole would get my

Vote, and I'm just being honest with that.

I'll be honest, too, and say if you and holly are up there...

Holly honored her promise.

You didn't.

That's going to affect the way I vote.

And it will affect nicole's decision and the way she votes.

And I know how much you want to be at the very top of this

Thing.

And I just feel like it's probably a lot easier way to do

It if holly is over there championing your cause as

Opposed to me being over there and talking to all of those guys

For the next few days.

I'm going to hop in the shower and just think about

Everything.

All right, I got you, man.

Appreciate you.

Thank you.

I love you no matter what.

I love you, too.

I did not expect cliff to lay guilt on me.

And certainly didn't expect him to bring in the fact that it

Will cost me half a million because he's going to swing the

Jury against me, and they I will not have his and nicole's vote.

I have wins up to this point, and you're going to hand half a

Million dollars to holly because I won't stick to a deal that

You... Pushed me into taking?

Are you kidding me?

Are you... Kidding me?

Damn it!

Julie: up next, will michie be intimidated into taking cliff

Instead of his girlfriend to the final three?

No matter who ends up winning the half-million-dollar grand

Julie: welcome back to "big brother."

It's now time for the veto meeting and eviction.

Let's head to the living room for michie's decision.

Hello, houseguests.

Hi, julie!

Julie: michie, as the winner of the power of veto, you

May use it to save yourself or use it to save holly, or you can

Choose to leave the nominations in place.

Good, good idea, yes!

No.

Julie: please stand.

Yemen.

Ies, ma'am.and give us all yo decision.

Cliff, I respect you.

You said a few things I want to remind everybody of.

You said play your own game and adaptation is the key to

Survival in this game.

A week ago, things didn't go as we all wanted, and it turned

Into a "big brother" I don't think any of us wanted to play.

But, ultimately, I was forced to adapt into an environment I felt

I had no choice but to adapt into.

This is a tough game.

And this is one that makes us make tough decisions, and this

Is not an easy decision to make.

We had a very clean final four, and although we are here, I hate

What it has come to, but I loved everyone in this house

Unconditionally, and I hate to put you in this chair, but I am

Choosing to use the vete on on myself and replace myself.

Julie: thank you, michie.

Cliff, you are the only possible replacement nominee, so thank

You for taking a seat there next to holly.

I love it.

Julie: cliff and holly, finale night is less than a week

Away, but unfortunately only one of you will make it there.

I'd like to give you each a final chance to address michie

Before he casts the sole vote to evict tonight.

Holly, you are first.

Thanks, julie.

You guys, we made it to final four like weeks ago we agreed

To, and I am so insanely proud of all of us.

I am thrilled to be here myself, especially after what happened

Last week.

I saw my game slipping through my fingers when you guys started

To go back on the deals that we had made.

And I did everything I could to save my life in this game.

I offered to throw the h.o.h., And that, to this day,s of the

Hardest thing I've had to do, was to walk out there and to see

A comp I've been waiting all summer to play, but to know that

I had to stick to my word, and --

Final seconds.

And to throw it.

So I had the chance to guarantee myself safety.

I gave it away.

And did not guarantee myself a spot in the final three.

Michie, you earned your safety.

I want to be here.

I want to play this game.

I want to continue fighting, making my family and my loved

Ones proud.

You guys, I miss you so much.

Thank you, julie.

Julie: cliff, it's your turn.

Another first of all, sharon, kelly, and daniel, I love you.

Thank you for the love and support that has allowed me to

Have this adventure.

Win or lose, I've got the greatest treasure in the world

Already waiting for me at home.

Michie, I would love your vote, but it is a tough decision, I

Know.

This game forces us to weigh a lot of different things whenever

We're making decisions tears us in a lot of ways.

I get it.

I may disagree with your decision, I may disagree with

Your justification, but I respect you as a player, I

Respect you as a man.

Friendship forever.

Whatever you do, I get it.

Julie: final seconds.

Real quick.

I walk out with my head held high in this game.

I played courageously, with honor, integrity, humor, and I'm

Damned proud of how I played, and I thank all of y'all.

I'm so glad y'all were my houseguests.

Thank you so much.

Julie: thank you, cliff, thank you, hole.

Michie, it's now up to you to cast the sole vote to evict.

A reminder-- when michie casts his vote, the evict the

Houseguest will only have a few short moments to say goodbye,

Gather his or her belongings and walk out the front door.

Michie, please face the two nominees and cast your vote to

Evict.

My word is my mind and I'm unwaver will loyal to those who

Were loyal to me.

I've been burned in my life, and burned in this game, and the

Moment I feel things are not mutually reciprocated, my

Loyalty is also severed.

And I felt I had to do everything and anything

Necessary to protect my game and to protect holly's, and this has

Never been personal.

And as much as this decision kills me I'm glade can look

Everyone in the house in the eyes when I make it.

I love you all, and I ultimately have to do what is best for my

Game.

And like you said, that is adapting to your environment,

And as much as this kills me, cliff, I'm sorry, but I vote to

Evict you.

I love you, man.

Julie: it's official, cliff.

You are evicted from the "big brother" house.

I love you.

I love you, too.

My best buddy.

My special friend.

I've been so glad I've gotten to play this game with you.

Same, I love you.

All the way, guys.

I love you, cliff.

You know what, this is an adventure, this is game.

I have never taken it personally.

We got a little wompgy last week.

Please, whatever happens, please remember going to the

Jury this is a game.

It is a game.

Stay true to your word and vote for the game.

I love "big brother"!

Go get them, cliff!

Cliff, hogg!

Get them!

[ Applause ] [ cheers and applause ]

Thanks.

Julie: all right, we have a lot of questions for you that

We're going to ask on the other side of the commercial break.

Stay right there.

All the questions you're screaming at the tv we're going

To ask cliff when we come back.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: I'm sitting here with cliff who was just evicted

By michie from the "big brother" hois.

You survived days.

I'm pretty proud of that.

Julie: you should be.

However, in your opinion, how and where did you go wrong to be

Sitting here with me tonight?

≫> [ sighs ]

You know, I think it was getting a little too dependent on mickey

And holly.

I knew he was a strong person.

I thought I could ride behind him, and I was really thinking

At some point someone else would get it take a shot, take michie

Out, and then I didn't have to deal with this whole final four

And everything else.

So I think I just trust him to falter where he never really

Did.

Julie: well, let's talk about last week.

Yeah.

Julie: it sure looked like you and nicole had this game

Locked up.

All you had to do was get rid of the other power duo.

That's right.

Julie: but instead, you kept tommy.

Why?

Well, we ended up-- we ended up --

I mean you ended up evicting tommy and keeping the other

Power duo.

Why?

It was a strange situation.

Nicoastles a little closer to tommy.

I was a little closer to holly and michie.

So we had a little bit of conflict.

I was scared of tommy.

I really thought we were going to have a lot more mental

Competitions coming up, and I knew how strong tommy was with

That.

I also expected he would be much more likely to take nicole going

Forward than myself.

Julie: but weren't you jumping a step ahead?

Probably.

Perhaps so.

I really went in thinking I didn't play this game to get

Third place.

I was playing it for first.

We were bouncing back and forecast between tommy and

Holly.

Julie: and didn't you get ahead of yourself just a few

Days ago, when you were trying to cut a final two deal with

Michie, but you're also telling him, "but you're not in my final

Two."

Yeah.

Julie: why would you reveal that to him?

And who would take that deal?

I perhaps was too trusting in gentlemen's agreements.

I wanted to make clear to him that-- what the conditions were.

I didn't want to have a situation where I was going to

Have to go against my word with him or with nicole, so I spelled

It out.

I don't think that's the reason he flipped.

I think there were a lot of things beyond that.

Julie: in what world would he take cliff hogg over his

Girlfriend to the final two?

Yeah, it makes you wonder, doesn't it?

[ Laughter ] yeah, no, it's a situation where

He had always been truthful with with me, I was gullible.

I looked him in the eyes.

We shook hands.

He said he was going to do it and I fell for it.

I got played.

Julie: if the tables were turned and if mickey and holly

Came to you and nicole and said, "you know what, we're not going

To honor the time four we had.

We're going to save tommy."

Would you have trusted michie and holly moving forward if they

Said that to you "we're not going to honor the agreement we

Had"?

No, I get the point, I absolutely get point.

That final four was set up many weeks ago and it was an

Agreement between a lot of people saying we're going to

Watch each other's backs, we're going to watch each other.

I didn't see it as the same level of agreement as a

Handshake between two guys.

Julie: I will shake your hand.

You can see your wife, sharon.

I am so happy.

Julie: you are off to jury and that is where you will see

Your goodbye imagines from the final three.

I love "big brother."

Julie: if you want it see cliff's final messages, go to

Our website tonight.

With, that the final three are in place, and mick, holly, and

Nicole are one step closer to wing a half million dollars.

I'll be back sunday for a special episode.

Season winner, kaycee.

Entirety sunday.
