[ Applause ] julie: good evening.

I'm julie chen.

Welcome to special episode of "big brother."

Tonight, we make history.

As the first five evicted houseguests battle to get back

Into the game.

It's win or go home in four head-to-head competitions.

Tonight, we will crown a battle back champion and send them back

Through those doors and the houseguest has no idea.

How will they react when they learn an evicted houseguest is

Returning to the game?

We will soon find out.

It's time to get things started as glenn, the first houseguest

To leave the game takes on jose, the second player evicted from

The "big brother" house.

The winner advances.

The loser goes home.

Yeah, yeah!

So I come out.

I am pumped.

I'm the first person eliminated and I have an opportunity to get

Back back in this game.

I'm ready!

I'm doing this for me, my family , and everybody back home.

Julie: glenn, welcome back.

Thank you.

It is now time to see who you will be facing off against in

The very first battle back competition.

I say to myself oh, my god who the hell is this going to be

The anticipation is k*lling me.

The battle back has never happened in bb history, and I'm

Going to battle my way back into the "big brother" house.

I am here to play!

I mean, I'm the messiah.

People walk on water, I can walk on lawn.

Julie: ok, let's begin the very first battle back

Competition.

On my "go" you will each race across your balance beam,

Retrieve berries one at a time and bring them back to your

Column.

Once you have berries in the column, the column you're

Currently working on will be blocked.

There are two paths you can take , a shorter more difficult

Beam or a longer, but easier, beam.

If at any time you fall off of your beam, then the column of

Berries that you are culturally working on will be dumped and

You must return to the starting platform and continue on.

I'm a dancer.

I'm going to take the shorter path.

Balance is my number one game.

I think it's going to be easy.

The first person to deposit berries in their column will

Be declared the winner and advance to the next round of the

Battle back competition.

So be warned, you each have a single poison berry.

If you retrieve this berry, you can return it, place it in your

Crate, and all of the berries in the column your opponent is

Currently working on will be dumped.

[Buzzer] giving him a major set backing.

You only have one attempt to use this berry.

Do you both understand?

Yep.

I'm from the bronx.

We come from the school of hard knocks and and I have a hard

Head.

I don't like to lose.

Julie: on your mark, get set , go!

[Bell rings] it's just as I thought.

This path is easy.

I'm not worried.

I got this.

Let me try the hardest balance beam first just to feel it out

And see where I'm going at and then I can make a decision on

Which way I'm going to go.

I'm looking at glenn and I think, oh, he is like a slow

Turtle when you're battling somebody like me, you need to

Pick up the pace.

Oops!

[Buzzer] so I notice that jose is

Moving a lot faster than me and then bam, he moves, and I think

I'm older, maybe I have a little common sense and I'm going the

Longer route and not returning the way he is because I don't

Want to fall.

I can't afford it.

I have to keep calm and cool and don't let the stress

Overtake my confidence.

[Buzzer] I slip and I fall again.

Now I'm pissed.

I'm going to choose to take the longer path.

But I know I'm faster than glenn

[Bell rings] [music playing]

[Bell rings] [bell rings]

[Bell rings] [bell rings]

[Bell rings] [bell rings]

[Bell rings] [bell rings]

Then the rain comes down.

Thank you, "big brother"!

I'm looking over.

He is even passing me now.

I have to use this poison berry or else I'm going to be screwed.

If I get my poison berry and return it before he gets his

Tenth berry in, I wipe out all of his berries and it's a new

Game.

[Bell rings] glenn starts going for his

Boifn berry.

That would be devastating.

I got to get berries to lock in my column.

I get the poison berry and I'm liking this is it, my only

Shot.

He is moving too.

I'm going fluid the first log and I'm like, ok, I got this.

It's right there.

It's close.

I'm getting crazy.

I I have to do this.

[Bell rings] [buzzer] no, no, no!

Not today, glenn!

Your poison berry can kick rocks I wanted to have the pleasure

Of seeing his berries go through the drop but jose has berries

Locked in the first column and nothing in the second.

So it was just wasted.

It's time to do some sabotage I'm going to dust through glenn

And let him know what the back of my feet taste like!

I watch for all of my berries , and they just drain out

In other words -- you could fall if you want.

I'm ok with it.

It's time to put this old dog out of its misery.

[Bell rings] julie: congratulations, jose

You have won the battle-back competition and will advance to

The next round!

I got me some new bbbling, b*tches.

Julie: I'm sorry, glenn.

Your summer is officially over.

Jose is the winner.

I'm upset.

I'm really upset.

But you know what?

I can't wait to see my daughter.

Whas'sup!

One down, three more left.

Whas'sup?

I'm returning to that house.

Paulie, frank, jean, tiffany, nicole -- et cetera, et cetera,

I'm coming for all of you guys.

Their decision on getting me out of the house was a big mistake!

Julie: up next, jose, the reigning battle back champion

Will be forced to battle his best friend in the house, victor

In the second battle back competition.

Who will advance and whose game is over for good?

Stay with us.

[ Applause ]

[ Applause ] julie: welcome back to the

Special battle back episode of "big brother."

Already tonight we saw jose defeat glenn.

It's time for jose to take on the third evicted houseguest,

Victor, who was his closest ally in the house.

The winner will move one step closer to getting back in the

Game and a second shot at the half million dollars prize.

Whoo-hoo.

Yeah.

It's freakin' game day.

I'm ready!

Let's go!

I'm going to k*ll this.

I don't care who is on the other side.

I'm going to win because I have to get back in that house.

Victor -- welcome back to the battle back arena.

You're about to compete against the reigning battle back

Champion.

Are you ready?

Yes.

I'm staring at the smoke, I can't see who it is just yet.

It's getting foggy.

They're about to go down.

Ed.

Worst-case scenario happens and I have to battle my best

Friend jose to get back in the house.

Damn, it's my buddy victor.

-, Bro.

Why it had to be him?

I know he's going to give me a good run for my money.

But I'm in the giving up my new bling.

It's sparkly and shiny, just like myself!

.

Julie: gentlemen, it's time to do battle.

On my go, you will use your tennis ball to knock down five

Targets.

Each one reveals the face of your opponent.

I'm crazy.

I look constipated.

You will do this by serving one ball at the time off of your

Cket.

And since each of you only has three ba*ls, when you run out

You must retrieve them and then return to your racket and begin

Serving again.

We're essentially throwing our ba*ls at our opponent's face

Jose is tossing his ba*ls at my face -- not a good picture.

The first player to knock down all five of your targets

Will win the competition playing the battle-back belt and advance

To the next battle back competition.

Victor may look buff and tough but this game is not about

Size and shape because I'm sample size -- it's all about

Skill.

Julie: on your mark, get set , go!

My first challenge is finding out how to bounce the ball back

And get it in the right direction.

At the same time I'm trying to sprint down and get my ba*ls

Back much the faster I go the more attempts I have and the

More I can practice it in those targets.

[Bell rings] it's possible.

I can do it.

I just have to do that four more times.

This comp is ridiculously hard.

What the heck?

One ball going left, one ball going right.

I'm like, ok, so how is this going to work.

I need to figure this out now.

I'm trying to hit my target and it's nipping the side of it.

That doesn't work?

All of my ba*ls hit the damn target on the side, left corner,

The bottom right-hand corner.

[Bell rings]

One down, four to go.

I'm getting the hang of the game now.

Victor, you're my buddy and my friend, but you're you're

Going down.

Yes!

Target down!

Another one.

No way, victor.

You have got this.

Just stay focused!

Not only is bouncing the ball and hitting your target is

Enough, I'm tired. I need a ball boy.

Ball boy, hello.

There's two of my ba*ls in the corner.

I need my ba*ls.

Hello?

Look, I'm getting all tired and wheezy and that's starting

To affect my aim.

I'm losing my focus.

I can't aim right and it just made a hard game even harder.

[Bell rings]

I'm down by two but I'm not giving up.

I have to even this game out.

Yes!

Don't underestimate me.

I'm a little bit behind but I got to just beef this out and

Win this.

[Bell rings] yes!

Now we're tied and it's time for me to take the lead.

The score is - now.

I'm stressing.

How did he catch up.

I had a two over-lead.

Victor, focus!

Running back and forth to get my ball says not easy.

I'm out of breath.

I'm exhausted.

My muscles hurt but I got to pull through and win this or

Else my summer is over!

Yes!

Yes.

That's exactly what I needed.

I'm back in the lead and I just have one target left to go.

I need to pull this out of a hat.

I got to get back into the "big brother" house and victor has

One more target but it's the hardest one left.

This championship belt is staying with me, no matter what.

Oh, man.

I have to hurry up because I know at any moment jose can flip

Around and catch up again but there's that little target

Hiding right behind the net and it's ticking me off a little bit

All I did is say, victor, you really trying to hit my

Beautiful face?

Really?

You can't even touch this.

[Music playing] yes!

Julie: congratulations, victor.

You have won the battle back competition and will advance to

The next round.

Yes, yes!

Targets down.

Your boy won!

Representing new orleans, louisiana, the pounds,

Victor de serro martinez.

Sorry, jose, your summer is officially over.

From the beginning evictor and I planned to be final two

Together.

Victor, you're my buddy and friend.

If I had to lose to anyone I'm glad it's you.

Oh, my god.

Love you bro.

Love you, too.

So you can kick your brother out of the house but I'm not out

Yet.

I'm the champion.

I just need to win two more times and I'm back in the house.

Not done yet.

Not done yet.

Julie: with that, victor claims the championship belt and

Inches one step closer to getting back in the house.

Up next, he faces off against bronte.

The winner will advance to the final battle.

The loser's big brother summer will be over.

Stay with us.

[ Applause ]

[Applause.

Welcome back to "big brother ."

It's now time for reigning champion victory take on his

Former teammate braun they to see who will move on to the

Final battle-back competition ah h!

Whoo-hoo!

Go power, go power!

Would this is my chance at redeem redemption.

I'm ready.

I can't wait to play this game.

It's back in the "big brother" house and reunite the spy girls.

Bronte, welcome to the battle back arena.

Prepare to meet the reigning battle back champion.

Who is it going to be?

The smoke is rising.

I'm ready to play.

This is by far the most important competition right now.

I just have to focus on taking my competitors down.

Yeah, baby.

Coming in at pounds, the puerto rican sensation -- oh,

Man!

It's bronte!

Aww -- she's my girl.

Look at that sexy belt, buddy bronte as much as I love you,

I don't want to give you this belt.

It looks good on me.

I can toss it on my shoulder.

It's a good accessory piece and the boy has gotten used to it.

There's not a single person in the house that likes you

Buddy.

I wish I didn't have to take down my fellow team unicorn

Member but I have to win in order to advance and get back

Inside of the "big brother" house.

Julie: ok, take your places!

Behind your booth.

It's time to do battle.

In the cafe behind you are three monitors.

On my "go" they will scroll through a series of photos

Featuring some of the houseguest s still in the game.

Each monitor will contain different photos.

Now, you each have six booths and in each is a question about

The photo.

You must answer a question by placing the picture of the

Houseguest that you think correctly answers that question.

This is a memory comp.

My memory might come in handy.

This is not about beak the strongest person.

I might have this in the box.

Julie: the first player to correctly answer all six

Questions and hit your buzzer will win the competition, claim

The battle back belt, and advance to the final battle back

Competition.

The winner of that final battle back competition will return to

The game.

This competition begins now!

The first question is "who is wearing sun glasses in four

Photos."

Immediately I realize it's not just one monitor to look at.

I need to look at all three in order to find the answer.

Ohh!

I'm not quite sure who has sunglasses on in four photos but

I did see them with at least three.

I'm looking for the person who has a scooter photo but

These monitors, there's three and they're going too fast.

My mind can't comprehend what is going on right now.

Is that a goat?

I see z with a bunch of giraffes and I will grab that one and

Hope for the best.

I put in myself for holding a wine bottle.

She always had wine in the bb house.

Maybe it's her?

Why is it going so fast?

The person wearing the costume the most, I'm pretty

Sure it's cory but my mind could be failing me.

I don't know.

Ok.

I think I saw her is the photo so I put her in the draft.

I have to find the person who is it shirtless in three photos.

Hmm, I didn't see my picture in that box.

Has to be paulie.

I think I might have seen james wearing some sunglasses so

Why don't I just put him in the slot and hope for the best?

I'm going to go with that and try to lock it in.

Come on.

Give me the green light.

[Buzzer] quick!

Buzzer goes red.

Now I just have to go back one by one and get these right but I

Have no idea what is wrong.

I'm going to go back to the screen to see who is in the most

Photos.

I see frank in a lot of photos.

I think I will just go with him.

It's time for me to turn in my exam and see if I got an a.

[Buzzer] dang it!

It looks like I I have to retake this exam because I just got an

F.

I'm pretty sure I got four answers right and I just have to

Focus on the other two.

I saw devante in three or four and I saw nicole in the cat

Combs and the field.

I'm going with nicole.

Who was in the most pixel costume?

It's michelle.

It's michelle.

It's michelle!

Doing good.

This is the one.

[Buzzer] I'm just getting pissed off and I don't know what to

Think.

[Speaking spanish] I'm thinking the only one I

Might have messed up is in a canada.

I need to particular out who is in draft photo.

I see cory in the scooter photo.

I know for a fact that there's one that I didn't count

And that's in the most photos.

I'm not % sure it's nicole.

I think we're both getting really close now.

I'm just doing the guess-and- check strategy, put

Something in, press the buzzer and hope that it turns green.

[Buzzer] bronte keeps switching her

Tiles and hitting the buzzer.

I'm trying to not to freak out.

I have to stay calm.

It's a numbers game.

I have to keep changing my answer until I get six and six.

Another one, like this is freaking me out.

This is good.

This could be go!

[Bell rings] julie: congratulations,

Victor!

You have won this round of the battle-back competition!

And you will advance to the final round.

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Another one!

Your boy wins again!

Julie: I'm sorry, bronte.

Your summer is officially over.

I definitely feel like I could go further in the game.

I was very honest and genuine but I guess honesty doesn't get

You very far in the "big brother" house.

So your boy won -- again!

Nobody can stop me!

I just have one more person and I'm back in the house.

You think your boy is just a physical competitor?

No, I got the mental comps too.

Watch out.

I'm coming.

And this thing looks pretty!

Yes!

Julie: so the final stage is set.

Victor will take on tiffany, the filthy evicted houseguest.

It will be an epic battle with enormous stakes.

The winner moves back into the "big brother" house tonight,

While the loser's shot at the half million dollars grand prize

Comes to an end.

Stay with us!

[ Applause ] [ applause ]

Julie: welcome back to the special battle back episode of

"Big brother"!

The moment of truth has arrived.

Victor, the reigning battle back champion has won two straight

Competitions and will now face off against tiffany.

The winner will re-enter the house tonight and be back in the

Running for the half million dollars grand prize.

Let's head to the back yard and crown a battle back champion.

Tiffany, welcome to the battle back arena.

It's really all or nothing right now.

I'm blessed to be given a second opportunity to come back into

The house, and there's nothing that is going to stop me.

I'm going to battle my heart out prepare to meet the reigning

Battle back champion.

There's smoke everywhere, and I can't see anything.

All I can think is, victor is a competition beast.

Please let it not be victor.

Whoo-hoo!

Of course!

It's victor!

Not a good way to start off, victor.

This is perfect.

I try to get her out before.

Didn't work.

This is my second chance is she is really going home.

This should be fun.

So I'm putting this belt down just for a second.

Tiffany, don't look at it too much.

Just see how cool it is but just know it's going around my waist.

Julie: it's time to do battle for the last time.

The winner of this competition will re-enter the

Game tonight.

Here is how it's going to work.

On my "go," you will each search through your bins for puzzle

Pieces that you must use to complete the electric bb

Festival poster behind you.

Make sure to listen closely for clues that you will need to

Complete the band schedule.

The first player to correctly complete their puzzle and hit

His or her buzzer will claim the battle back belt and head

Immediately back in the game.

This is the most important comp yet.

I have had dreams about this competition ever since I won the

Last one.

I just got one person standing in my way to get back in that

House and that's assist knee.

I knock her out of the way and I have another chance at k.

This is perfect.

Julie: are you both ready?

Yes.

Yes.

Julie: good.

Because this competition begins -- now!

[Buzzer] the fact this is a puzzle

Comp is awesome because I'm definitely good at puzzles.

Victor you might be a competition beast but when my bb

Life is on the line, nothing is going to stop me.

Ok.

So my strategy is to work from the bottom up, for now.

Because at the bottom of the puzzle, there's already edges

That have pictures that line up with the puzzle pieces.

So I'm using this to my advantage to fill up the bottom

And work my way up.

My strategy right now is go as fast as possible.

I'm going to start top to bottom and grab the words first ask go

From there.

Of.

The bb festival is awesome!

You will be taking it old school with the wax report.

[Music playing] prepare to scream at .

So we hear it announce what times the bands are playing and

I want to get these locked in.

I notice that vick isn't focusing on the band times and

Hopefully that gives me an advantage later on.

So I'm working on the bottom and I glance over and see vick

Has the entire lech bb festival written out and that looks toes

Do so I'm leaving the top row empty because I think there's

Going to be designs up there.

The electric bb festival has so much awesomeness still to

Come.

Bada-bing, bada bing!

Warning, this my zing a little -- or a lot!

I'm not a good puzzle person.

I mean I'm a smart guy but when you're up there the puzzle is

Right in your face and you have to get a perspective and go

Down down and see what you're doing.

My pieces are lining up and I look over at victor and he has

So many up on I had board but his pieces are not lining up at

All.

I know my slow-and-steady strategy is working to my

Advantage right now.

Don't be a froot loop by missing the froot loop gingas.

You hearing these band names?

I don't think that will be a festival that I want to go to.

So I'm hanging there in front of the space and I can't fathom

Why these two pieces are not connecting.

That's why it is throwing me off.

I lean back a little bit and I spell bb electric festival

Wrong: festival!

I'm so stupid.

I swap them and then everything starts make sense.

Don't have that many more to go.

Just push through this right now I have to give percent.

I just have one goal right now and that is to battle my way

Back into the house.

So I make just about the entire puzzle and I realize his

Feet don't fit.

So I have to push the entire puzzle up.

But this is why I work out.

Let me just power through this as fast as I can and pray

Tiffany doesn't hit her buzz buzzer.

I'm so frustrated right now.

Something is not adding up right in this puzzle.

I'm doing something wrong and I'm trying to figure out what it

Is.

Oh, my gosh, why didn't I see this sooner.

Looking at the pieces I have left and looking over at victor

I know that those words now go on the top.

I put my last puzzle piece in for the picture and I'm done

With that.

Now I have to work on these times.

Dr. Wheel's laser light

Lunacy at :.

Careful.

You may lose a too: [buzzer]

Julie: incorrect.

Thanks julie.

It all comes down to this moment.

Tiff, you can do this.

Just put it together and finish this puzzle as quickly as you

Can.

Frankie's at :, guaranteed to get glitter everywhere.

I deserve to win this competition.

I worked so hard.

I just have those freaking times to do and that's it.

I have to get back in the house!

[Bell rings] julie: congratulations,

Victor!

You have won the battle back competition and will re-enter

The game.

Yes, yes, yes!

Yes, yes, yes!

That's mine!

I won!

I earned my way back into the house.

Man, I'm had a beast!

Good job, vick.

Oh, my god!

That hurt so bad.

Julie: I'm sorry, tiffany, your summer is officially over.

All right. If I had to lose to anyone I'm glad it's him

Because he is such a competative beast.

But at the same time I would give anything to go back in the

House and change things up.

I know if given a second chance I would do things differently.

Trust frank.

Don't trust dave.

It's sucks that I had to end.

Yeah, I would have done some things differently.

I feel like I deserve to go a little further but I hope my

Sister is proud of me.

Yes!

Yes!

Welcoming back in the house now I get a second chance and

I'm going to try to be friendly with everybody but in the back

Of my mind I know that everybody backstabbed me so I'm ready to

Play dirty.

No more mr. Nice victor.

Oh, my god!

Of oh, they're going to love this!

Julie: so victor stands victorious as the battle back

Champion and has earned the right to re-enter the "big

Brother" game.

In moments we will reveal the battle back twist to the

Houseguests and send victor back into the house.

How will they react when he walks back in?

Find out next!

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Glj welcome back to "big brother."

It's time to let houseguests in on the secret battle-back twist

And send victor back into the house: let's head to the living

Room and give them the news.

Julie: houseguests?

Yo, julie!

I need everyone to please gather in the living room.

Something is happening.

Something's happening!

There he is.

I like that outfit, julie.

.

Julie: you have officially been in the "big brother" house

For days.

You have experienced competitions and you have seen

Five houseguests' games come to an end -- or at least you

Thought their game ended.

Ohhh!

You all know our motto: " expect the unexpected."

Well, the last time I saw you, I promised you more twists.

So here we go.

In a twist called "the battle back", glenn, jose, victor,

Bronte and tiffany were sequestered separately.

And then competed in head-to- head battles in the

Hopes of getting a second shot at the half million dollars

Grand prize.

Oh, my gosh.

Julie!

Julie: the first two evicted house getting of guests battled

Against each other.

The winner took on the next evicted houseguest and so on.

In the end only one was left standing, and tonight they are

Coming back into the house as if they had never left!

Oh, my god!

No!

This is going to be awkward.

They will be moving back in shortly.

Good night, houseguests!

Awww!

Julie!

Wow!

Dam it, I evicted two of them.

[Doorbell ring rings].

It's jose!

It's jose!

Who do you think it is?

Who do you think it is.

Oh, my god!

Clear ohhhhh!

What?

What?

What?

What?

How are you doing?

Nice hair, bro.

Julie: the battle-back twist has just shaken up the game but

Another twist is about to be un leashed.

Throughout the house are clues to a secret room.

Any houseguest who figures it out will unlock this room and

Could gain the power to change their fate in the "big brother"

House.

This secret room will only be in play for the next four weeks.

Tune in sunday to see if the secret room is discovered.
