18x37 - Episode 37

[bunniefuu]

Julie: a showmance, a bromance, and a romance on the

Line.

Welcome to "big brother."

Previously on "big brother": with a scramble for power,

Victor egged out the competition.

Yes!

Yes!

Congratulations, victor!

You are the new head of household.

Wanting to stay loyal to his final four alliance--

Not only did last week nicole and corey keep myself and paul

Safe, but corey gave me the $, bribe.

Now I can show them how much I trust them by keeping them safe

This week.

Victor put james and natalie on the block.

I nominated you, james, and you, natalie.

James, you were the deciding vote in voting me out a couple

Weeks ago so it only makes sense for me to put you up and

Hopefully you go home this week.

Natalie tries to make amends to paul and victo.

I want to talk to paul and victor.

By pointing the blame elsewhere.

I trusted james and his opinion.

Sometimes you let the wrong people influence.

Natalie has been playing an innocent and ditsy game until

Now.

And now she's throwing her ride or die under the bus?

Hmm, natalie is seems like you really do know how to play this

Game.

In an expl*sive veto competition, corey assured

Jatalie would stay on the block.

Thanks, nat.

Good job.

And the final four are considered making natalie their

Target.

If you try to compliment her, she gets pissed.

Because she's hiding something.

The part that makes me mad is I know know you guys are right.

James started off as my target had week but natalie's recent

Game play is making me rethink that idea.

Worried she is leaving-- I'm going home this week.

Why do you think that?

It's in my gut that I'm going home.

Natalie had harsh words for james.

If you stick with corey and nicole, don't talk to me again.

Hoping to reel james back to their side--

I just want on call him up here.

Do it.

Paul and victory told him about natalie's betrayal.

She basically told us she got bad advice from you and she

Regretted taking that advice.

What?

Natalie threw my name under the bus.

Whether she meant to do it maliciously or not, it cuts

Deep.

I appreciate it.

Thanks per your time, buddy.

At the veto meeting.

I've decided not to use the power of veto.

The couple's fate was officially sealed.

I'm not sure where the votes will fall.

I don't think we have % agreed on who is going this week.

Tonight, either james or natalie leave the game, but will

They, torn apart before a single vote is cast?

Who are you right now?

Who are you?

Plus big meech arrives at the jury house.

Guess who's in the house!

No!

No!

And b.b. Favorites jeff and jordan are back.

All this live on "big brother"!

You look like you just saw a ghost.

Captioning funded by cbs [ cheers and applause ]

Julie: good evening.

I'm julie chen.

Welcome to "big brother."

For the first time in "big brother" history, three duos

Make up the final six, and while two of those couples are safe

Tonight, one will not be so lucky.

Before the hour is up, either natalie or james will become the

Sixth member of the jury.

But the big question for those voting is not who to evict but,

Rather, who to keep in the house to better their chances of

Getting to finale night.

So who will be evicted, and who will be left in the game?

We'll find out, soon enough.

But first, after days, is the honeymoon over for jatalie?

This veto meeting is adjourned.

Me and natalie are up on the block together.

We've been through so much.

It definitely has put a strain on our relationship.

It's definitely tested it.

You're in a showmance with someone you care about and you

Have $, on the line.

It's a drag.

No hug, nicole?

What's the heck.

There's only three votes this week, so, really, corey and I

Control who goes home, but I want everybody in the final four

To be comfortable with what we choose because I don't want to

Do something that's going to make paul and victor come after

Me the next week.

It is what it is.

Hey, that was my fault.

I really never trusted corey and nicole, and james really

Trusted them.

So I worked with them, and it has bit us in the butt, because

Now me and james are on the block, and we kind of got

Betrayed.

It's definitely going to be one of our last week, so-- I

Know there's twengz between me and natalie, and it's mental

Because I voted victor out.

There's nothing really more I can do about it, and I just hope

We can get past this.

You never know in this game.

Yeah, I agree.

Uh-huh.

So there's three votes, me, nicole, and paul.

And it's probably time for natalie to go home this week.

I really don't see a situation where I vote james out.

And I feel like my alliance members might feel the same way.

The conversation I had was super blunt and to the point.

I'm being pretty honest talking with nicole about my

Conversation with james, but what I don't want her to know is

That victor and I are working james so on the off chance james

Stays and wins h.o.h. Next week, victor and I need somewhat of a

Shot at survival.

I don't want you to think that conversation last night was like

A-- it's not a big deal.

Paul's telling me he's only talked to james about things

That really aren't that important.

Is paul just sitting here covering his tracks and, you

Know, potentially trying to work with james moving forward?

That worries me.

All right, flip them.

I win.

Yeah, he won.

Let's play the way that I typically play where you have to

Make it wherever you make your last ball.

All right, all right, all right.

Always, man.

Dude, why?

I don't get it.

I don't get it, either, dude.

It feels like you're getting [ bleep ] on.

Yeah.

James is having girl problems right now, and if I can be his

Outlet, if I can be sympathetic towards him, he might be

Sympathetic towards me.

It never hurt to have some sort of a relationship with the guy

That might be staying met house.

I'm done.

Good game.

Good game.

See what these fools are cooking up.

What's up?

Nothing.

Are you okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

People can tell that there's tension between us.

There's no tension on my end.

I don't know.

I just feel like you're-- you're-- you're being, like,

Distant, and like-- james we're on the block

Together.

It doesn't feeled if.

I know but literally, two or three days, and we'll be gone.

Okay, so enjoy it!

Stop talking about something that there's nothing to talk

About at this point.

Well you know when you're in a relationship--

Oh, my god.

You have to talk about stuff like that.

I know, james, but I really don't like having these

Discussions.

I know I'm going home and it doesn't feel good.

How do you know?

Did somebody tell you?

No, I just know.

Right now, I don't think he cares so much about the the

Game.

He's more worried about that?

%.

He's, like, they look standoff-ish right now.

James, this is hard for me.

Natalie, I've been holding us together for days, and it's

Rough for me, too.

I mean, who knows?

You might get back home and decide you never want to talk to

Me again.

James, why would you even say things like that?

I literally feel like I'm in a nightmare right now.

Wow.

Nightmare, huh?

Not like it that, james!

Oh, man.

Why did you get in a showmance, james?

Worr what's up, brother?

Uh, natalie's pissed off at me /.

Is she really?

Yeah.

About what?

I don't know why.

She thinks she's going home.

She's dead set on it.

So she's mad at you?

Yeah, because it's my fault.

Yeah.

She was just like, "well, I should trust my gut and I

Shouldn't have, like, listened to you.

I shouldn't went my own way."

Seems like I betrayed two people in the house.

Who did she betray?

Victor and paul.

Oh, my gosh.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

She said, you know, like, "I wanted to work with them the

Whole time.

And you were just so dead set on working with corey and nicole,

And I trusted you."

You know, james is really sad right now, and honestly, I feel

Bad for him.

He's been my boy for a long time now.

It's an opportunity for me and nicole to move forward in game

With him.

I was just talking to james.

You know, he keeps saying like how it's his fault they're in

That situation and this and that.

I'm just tired of that freaking brat putting it on james.

She has no one to blame but her freaking self, in my opinion.

Does he not realize that at all?

His head's not in the game anymore, corey.

He just feels guilty.

Well, that's so crappy, man.

We need to reel him in %.

So you think if james stays in the house he'll put us up?

I just want to make sure he doesn't.

I think he would be nuts to put us up.

He would be, but he might feel like he owes them

Something.

I think paul and victor are great, and the final four

Aleens, it's awesome.

But, look, you need to take some shots, especially at this point

In the game, and I think paul and victor might already be

Working james, which isn't good for me and corey.

If it's three versus two, those are not good numbers.

If it's three versus two, those are not good numbers.

This is one of our last nights I'm going to sleep in the

Bed with you.

I'm sleeping in the other bed.

Well, I'm going to follow you there.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

You really want to sleep alone?

I'm not screaming.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Ojames!

Stop fighting with me.

Let me live.

I'm going home.

You can have your bed back.

Ahh, I can't wait for thursday.

I can't wait for my live eviction.

I can't wait to meet julie.

I can't wait to go to jury.

You're acting like real mcass[ bleep ].

How?

Your little brattiness.

My brattiness?

Oh, my god.

Here we are, down to the end of the road, one of us is about

To leave, and somebody's true colors are coming out.

My true colors?

That's nice.

Yeah.

It is nice.

I heard you threw me under the bus.

What?

I never threw you under the bus.

Are you kidding me?

Well, that's the way people perceived it.

Are you serious, that I threw you under the bus?

It was perceived that you were throwing me under the bus.

Like, I didn't believe it, but I'm a man of actions speak

Louder than words.

I'm sad and I just-- I'm sad.

I'm sad, too, I'm sad.

I've been sad-- I've been sad a lot.

I've been sad a lot through this game.

I swear on everything I love I never threw you under the bus.

It is what it is.

I don't know what your end game was with me this whole time.

My end game?

Yeah.

I pretty much scheduled you from this game throughout the whole

Game, put you under my wing, and we have literally a day and a

Half together, and you-- you want to do your-- your, your

Thing.

So you think I was using you?

Another well, lease see, you got into a showmance with

Victor.

That didn't work out.

You were flirting with corey.

That didn't work out.

All right.

You started doing your fling with paulie.

You kept it a secret till-- I never had a fling with

Paulie.

That's disgusting.

Who are you right now?

Who are you?

Who are you?

James, I just-- I've had your back this whole

Game, emotionally and physically.

I've had your back, too.

Oh, yeah, is that why some days I'm allowed to sleep with

You in your bed and some days I'm not.

We have a day and a half left.

Is this the way you want to go out?

There's a fight, "this is the way you want to go out?"

I don't know why you're yelling at me for having a crush

On corey and talking to victor.

Like, that was way before me ask you.

I'm not going to k*ll myself over it this.

Don't k*ll yourself over this.

A day and a half.

James, I can't believe everything you just said.

Yeah, me, neither.

A fling with paulie.

Like, what!

Oh, my gosh!

My chest is hurting.

My heart's hurting.

James is the only person I trusted.

And, like, he thinks that I'm using him.

I don't know who james is right now.

He's not the person I thought he was.

What's up?

Talk, buddy, talk.

You got friends here, talk.

What's going on?

I can't.

I can't do it.

I just let her have everything.

I let her have it.

I was genuinely willing to give my game, a second shot at a half

Million dollars so she could go further.

I'm done.

I'm sorry, you had to go through that, man.

I'm sorry to hear that, man.

This is not how you treat someone you care about.

It's all right, man.

It is what it is, but I'm done.

Julie: tonight, either natalie or james will say

Goodbye to the "big brother" house and each other.

Up next, "big brother" is expecting it's second baby, but

For jeff and jordan, it's their first.

I sit down with them live.

Then michelle surprises the jury.

Stay with us.

Julie: welcome back to "big brother."

They met on "big brother" and got engaged on "big brother."

Please welcome back jeff and jordan.

[ Cheers and applause ] thank you.

Julie: welcome back?

All right, before we talk game, we have a lot to talk about

Because in your lives a lot has happened.

Bring us up to speed.

All right, I'll give you the "cliff note."

So, actually, this coming saturday, in two weeks, we were

Going to get married.

That was our wedding date, september .

We went to mexico in january of this year.

I got pregnant in mexico.

We basically had our honeymoon there.

Too many margaritas.

Open bar.

No!

And I found out a month later that I was pregnant.

So I told jeff, I was like, "let's just go to the

Courthouse, get married."

And we went to the beverly hills courthouse, got married in

March.

And I have six weeks left.

Julie: oh, my goodness!

[ Applause ].

Yeah, yeah.

Julie: congratulations.

So much has happened.

All right, you know the sex of your baby.

We are having a boy.

Julie: yay!

[ Applause ] have you decided on a name?

And if you have, would you like to give us the exclusive and

Announce it here and now.

Julie, that's a fight.

It's not a fight.

I wish we could.

It's very, very difficult to come up with a name, I didn't

Know how hard it was.

Julie: that you both agreed on.

If it was a girl, I was going to name her sailor and I had it

All planned out.

I had myself convinced and him convinced that it was a girl.

Julie: and you were okay with sailor if it was a girl?

Sure.

I like sailor.

And then I found out we were having a boy, and it threw me

Off, so, no, we have no name.

Not yet.

We're working on it.

My mom is like, "your baby is going to come home from the

Hospital and has no name."

Julie: that has happened before, and people have even

Changed the name after a couple of weeks of naming their baby

And it hasn't felt right.

So no worries.

Just as long as your baby is happy and healthy.

Absolutely.

Julie: all right, let's talk about the game right now

Because you two met on the show, became a duo in the house.

As you know, duos have targets on their backs.

So are you guys surprised that three duos have made it to the

Final six?

Oh, I'm so surprised.

I mean, I thought people would have broken up by now.

I didn't even think the showmances would have made it

This far.

That's who made it.

But I know, but I didn't think they would make it this

Far.

Corrie and nicole has been together a long time so they

Should have had a target.

James and natalie established themselves a little bit after

The beginning, so they should have had had a target.

Victor and paul right off the bat were a duo, and they

Probably had the the biggest target and other things happened

In the house.

I think a lot of people were obsessed with getting paulie out

Which kept the target off of them and very surprising that

All six of them are in the final six now.

Julie: victor seems almost unstoppable.

James and natalie, what do you, about these two?

Are they going to have a thing outside, be the jeff and jordan

Of this season?

Trouble in paradise.

It seems like it, it seems like it.

I think james saw the stars in his eyes, and I think he got

A little distracted a little bit.

I think he-- he kind of lost himself in the game.

And I think if natalie does go tonight, I think he could redeem

Himself.

You never know.

Because I think one of the couples is going to take him,

And he could, you know, he could puout some wins.

You never know.

It's "big brother."

Julie: narrow is down to one name, predictions, who is

Going to take it all.

Victor?

[ Applause ].

Paul.

Julie: victor and paul.

We'll see who's right.

So good to see you guys.

Yes, thank you for having us.

Julie: congratulations on the marriage, the baby, the

Name.

Jeff and jordan, ladies and gentlemen.

[ Cheers and applause ] up next, we take a peek spot

Jury house.

Who's still fighting and who's made up?

Then natalie or james.

One will be evicted and one will be left to fight on alone.

The live vote and eviction is just around the corner.

Stay with us.

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

Brother."

The power to crown the winner of "big brother" rests in the hands

Of the jury.

So how did they react when michelle brought them up to

Speed on the unexpected events that led up to her eviction?

All right, paulie, let's see what you've got.

The temperature in the house, I would say is pretty cool.

I feel hike the temperature has gone down with me and paulie.

We're on speaking terms, and we're cool.

You blew my focus!

Zakiyah went back to paulie.

What did you say?

Yes, girl, right back to his a*s.

He's like a fly at a picnic, he just keeps coming back.

Me and bridgette no longer exist?

Okay, check, bye.

So who do you guys think is coming in today?

I think it might be victor.

He's been voted out twice already.

Victor is definitely a huge target.

I think people want him out of that house for sure because he

Wins everything.

I mean, I would like corey to stay just because you always

Want a person you were close with to stay.

Was that your closest ally, corey?

Yeah.

Oh.

But didn't you guys think it was odd that there were three

Pairs and michelle was the outcast?

Do you think they might have tried to get her out.

I hope not.

Ellewould be bittersweet because that's my girl.

Guess who's in the house!

No.

No!

Big meech.

Oh, meech!

You guys are going to make me cry.

You look so pretty!

Why are you here?

Nicole, snake!

I am devastated that I am evicted from the "big brother"

House.

I could have campaigned harder.

I'm not going to blame it all on someone else but at the end of

The day I feel like nicole's choice was personal over

Strategic.

Wait a minute, nicole won the h.o.h.?

It's a very, very salty subject.

I may cry if I talk about it more so let's just roll the tape

And watch it.

Yeah!

Paulie, if you would have held on for, like, three more

Minutes, you would have been in the house.

That's all right.

Natalie would have been very upset.

I definitely wanted to win the competition badly.

However, victor's a competitor just as much as I'm a

Competitor.

The kid's making history.

It's down to paul, nicole, and james.

The plan was me, james, paul, and natalie were working

Together to get nicole and corey out.

But then, me and paul had a huge blow-up.

He called me a [ bleep ].

Oh!

No!

Yes, sir.

I was just calling him out.

And then it just got dead silent.

Like, you could hear a needle drop.

Anywho, this was after the fight, and I am fuming at paul.

Yay!

I don't think I can not hear from my family for another week.

This is james' comp.

Me and natalie are rooting for him.

How long did they go?

Oh, another hour maybe.

Damn.

So I guess I'll drop for you so you can see your family.

[ Buzzer ].

Oh!

I'm definitely shocked that nicole won the wall comp.

I'm even more pissed that james threw it to her.

And you're going to throw it to nicole of all the people in the

House?

I'm livid.

James!

I don't think there would have been a deal on the table

That he would have took.

Exactly.

The first houseguest I have nominated is...

I was really expecting for nicole to put paul and victor

Up.

Did he know?

He had to.

Houseguest choice.

Watch this, guys.

I pick corey.

Damn.

Why would he pick corey, guys?

Oh, he's totally a pawn.

Nicole and corey, they're a package deal.

Paul chooses corey.

They've got to be aligned together.

I just feel like it was right it there in front of her.

And michelle still didn't get the hunt that she was the target

For the week.

Whoa!

Corey had to be in heaven.

What is that?

Rudolph.

Total bears.

Nicole wins the power of veto.

My girl nicole won.

People have been trying to drag her name through the mud since

Week one, and now the fact that she's in the final six says

Something about her game.

I'm still thinking paul's the target.

James and natalie are saying, "no, I'm good."

Come on, michelle.

You know you always need to campaign.

If you guys evict me, I am going to start uncontrollably

Balling.

I was hoping that they would take out the bigger target this

Week, but looks like they're dumb nuts.

I am shocked.

Julie: vote are in and we have a tie.

Oh, dang!

Wow!

Julie: nicole please cast your vote to evict.

"Oh I'm so nervous.

Sorry, michelle, I have to vote to evict you.

Julie: it is official.

You guys need to get nicole out as soon as you can because

She is just floating her way to final two.

Nicole is running this house, and I am shocked.

Because, you know, at first, she was hiding behind all these

Other poise.

I might have a little beef with her, but she dook the thing.

Slithering her way to final two.

I tell you what, I hope she's here next week.

[ Laughter ] julie: up next, we'll find

Out who will follow michelle to the jury house.

Either natalie or james will be evicted.

Stay with us.

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

Brother."

They found a connection early in the game and have been

Inseparable ever since.

Now natalie and james will be torn apart, and one of them will

Be left to fight on alone.

Let's head to the living room and talk to the two nominees.

Hello, houseguests.

Hey, julie!

Natalie, james, in just moments, your housemates will cast their

Votes to evict, live.

But before they do, you each have a final chance to sway

Their votes with one brief statement.

Natalie, you're first okay, julie, you're gorgeous.

Mommy, daddy, jeff, I love you guys so much.

Thank you for supporting me in this dream of mine.

And, honestly, I came into this house knowing nothing about the

Game and I made it to final six.

I'm so honored to have played this game and privileged and I

Got to meet james one of my new best friends, my soulmate,

Someone who is so special to me.

I will forever care for you and you're stuck with me forever.

Thank you all, and I had a lot of fun.

Thank you.

Julie: thank you, natalie.

James, it's your turn.

First off, brandon, tim, chrissy, jason, thanks for all

The love and support.

Natalie, also, it's been a great honor to play this game with

You.

I met you, you know, from day one you were just so scared to

Play it this game but you are so bright and energy, full of it.

I'm honored to get to know you and play this game with you and

Sit on the block with you.

To the the houseguests, with that being said, you know, my

Name and fate is in y'all's hands and I will not campaign.

So whatever y'all feel is best is what I'm happy to go out

With.

Julie: thank you, james.

It's time for the live voting to begin.

Victor, as head of household, you are not allowed to vote.

Neither are the two nominees.

One at a time, paul, nicole, and corey will enter the diary room

And cast their vote to evict.

Paul, you're up first.

Please go to the diary room.

Paul knows that he may need james to further his game.

Will he pull the trigger tonight?

Whoa!

Julie: holo, paul.

What's up, julie!

Julie: please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict natalie.

Julie: thank you.

See you.

Nicole turned her back on her former allies, james and

Natalie, so which one is best for her to keep in the game?

Hi, nicole.

Hi, julie.

Julie: please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict natalie.

Happy birthday, mom.

Love you.

Julie: thank you.

It's official with two votes to evict natalie, natalie will

Leave the "big brother" house tonight, but let's see how corey

Votes.

Hi, corey.

What's up, julie?

Julie: please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict natalie.

Julie: thank you.

Dig 'em.

Julie: all of the votes are in, and with three votes to

Evict natalie, natalie will leave the house tonight.

Let's give the news to the houseguests.

Houseguests, the votes are in.

When I reveal the vote, the evicted houseguest will have

Just a few moments to say goodbye, gather his or her

Belongings, and walk out the front door.

By a vote of -, natalie, you are evicted from the "big

Brother" house.

Bye, guys!

Good luck!

Bye, guys.

Good luck, guys.

Good luck, jamesy.

Thanks, babe.

Thank you.

James, you want to do the honors?

Yes, let me do the honors.

See you, nat.

Bye!

I'll miss you, games, I love you.

I love you, too, girl.

Don't trip.

[ Cheers and applause ] hi, julie!

[ Cheers and applause ] hi, julie!

Watch it, watch it, watch it.

Nicole, stop it, dude!

There it goes.

Nicole holding it strong on the left side, buddy.

And then there were five.

Julie: it was a hard week on you and james.

He even accused you of throwing him under the bus.

Yeah.

Julie: did you?

I did not throw him under the bus.

I would never do that to him.

Julie: let me explain why it was perceived that way.

Yeah.

Julie: and then you can react.

When you went upstairs to the h.o.h. Room to apologize to paul

And victor for stabbing them in the back, you said, "I put my

Trust-- I put trust in the wrong people's hands.

I really trusted james and his opinion."

Uh-huh.

Julie: how do you think that was interpreted?

What was that saying?

Yeah.

Well, basically, what I was trying to say is I trusted

Nicole and corey due to james.

He really trusted them.

And I trusted victor, you know, victor over nicole and corey.

So I went with james' gut, and I wasn't trying to throw him under

The bus.

I listened to, you know, certain things that people were saying.

I believed it all.

And he kind of put me in that position.

But I would never throw james under the bus, never in a

Million years.

That was never my intent.

And honestly, I'm honored to leave next to him, and I

Campaigned to keep him.

So I thought that would show everyone how much I care about

Him.

Julie: we heard you just now and previous to just seconds

Ago call him your soulmate and profess your life for him.

Yeah.

Julie: everyone wants to know, how real is this

Showmance?

I mean, it's really real.

I care about him so much.

Like, he's such a good human.

He's me in a guy version.

I'm really peppy and girl, and he's very country and he's

Asian, but we just make it work.

I love him so much as a person.

Whether we work out or not, I don't know.

I don't know what's going to happen.

Julie: is there a chance outside of the house it turns

Romantic?

Honestly, it could.

I'm not going to say yes and I'm not going to say no.

It really depends on how we make it work.

Julie: how is he going to do in the house without you you

Now?

I don't know.

I hope he does really well.

I'm rooting him on.

He has my vote if he makes it to final two.

He better not be the next one walking out of door.

Julie: what if he works with nicole and corey?

I would be sad, but I told him you work with whatever you

Have to work with, whatever you do, I support it.

Sometimes in this game, you guys don't understand, it's really

Emotional.

You miss your family.

You don't even have a cell phone.

And you say things-- you say things you don't really mean,

And people don't understand that.

So out of anger sometimes I say things, but then I apologize

Right after and so it fixes it.

[ Laughter ].

Julie: in the event you were the one evicted tonight,

Your housemates taped some gone messages.

Let's look over here and let's watch.

Natalie, you got me evicted.

Now I'm evicting you.

It sucks to see you gh, but somebody has town with the

K.

I'll see out outside.

Natalie, you may have had the house fooled by playing dumb.

You lost my respect when you threw james under the bus.

Other than that, nat, you're a sweet, fun little girl.

Nothing but friendship on my end.

Natalie, if you're seeing this, I'm really sorry, and that

Means I'm the only girl left in the house.

Being up on the block next to your best friend has to be super

Difficult pup handled yourself really well and you should be

Proud.

Natalie, this is my toughest gone message ever.

I know this game has been a stressful, emotional roller

Coaster, but I gotta say through all of this thick and thin,

Through all the the fights and bickering, I had a great time

Getting to know you.

You're a special human being to me.

And you've taught me a lot about myself in this game.

I didn't expect to get in a showmance.

But I took one look at you, and it was all over from there.

You will always be my number one, and my best friend.

Take care girl.

See, I didn't realize I threw-- you say things and you

Don't realize you throw people under the the bus

Unintentionally.

My heart was always to protect him, you know, so --

Well, you're off to the jury house right now.

I'm excited!

We will see you back here on wednesday, september , when

You and the rest of the jury will determine the winner of

"Big brother."

Thank you, natalie.

Stay right there.

Up next, who will step up and slide into power?

The live head of household competition when we return.

Stay with us.

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

Brother."

It is now time for the head of household competition.

Free from the threat of eviction, the h.o.h. Must put

Two nominees on the chopping block.

Let's head to the backyard and get things started.

Houseguests, the power is back up for grabs.

Victor, as outgoing head of household, you are not eligible

To compete.

Welcome to the "big brother slide in theater."

But before you can see the movie, you'll need to get some

Butter for your popcorn, eight gallons of butter, to be exact.

Now, here's how this competition will work.

On my "go," you will begin to transfer your butter from your

Barrel, across your slippery lane, to the large container on

Top of your popcorn box.

The first person to fill up their container and remove their

Floating popcorn kernel will become the new h.o.h.

Now, there is a second, smaller container at the end of your

Lane as well.

If you choose to, you can fill that smaller container first,

Which will release a larger scooper, making it possible to

Transfer more butter, faster.

That choice is yours.

Does everyone understand?

Yes.

Julie: excellent.

Get on your mark, get set, go!

O.m.g.

There we go, guys!

Julie: cory and paul head for the large containers, nicole

And james for the smaller one.

It won't matter if you fall.

Whoa!

♪ ♪ Oh, legs are going to be on

Fire tonight.

You got it, paul.

Just keep it steady.

Good job, corey.

Julie: so who will rise to power in this crucial h.o.h.

Competition?

We'll rejoin the house guests, when we return.

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

Brother."

We'll rejoin the head of household competition in just a

Moment, but first, here's what's in store as we close in on the

Live finale.

Tune in sunday to see who will reign as the new head of

Household and whom he or she nominates for eviction.

Then, to make way for the nfl on cbs, we are changing our

Schedule for the rest of the season.

On tuesday, you don't want to miss an evening that will take

The houseguests completely by surprise as the power of veto is

Back up for grabs, another houseguest is sent packing, and

A new head of household competition plays out.

Then on wednesday, another eviction sends another

Houseguest to the jury, leaving the final three in place to

Begin the push toward the $, grand prize, and it all

Plays out live.

Head to cbs.com/bb right now to subscribe to "cbs all access"

To get the live feeds and more.

Night only on pop.

For now, let's rejoin the action in the backyard.

Hello, again, houseguests.

Wow, look at you sprinting, nicole.

How's everyone t doing.

You're all hanging in there.

It's fun to watch more than anything.

Julie: I think victor is getting quite a show.

He's having a good night back there.

I love it.

Julie: good night and good luck, houseguests.
