19x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

On premiere night, I asked the house guests, who among them

would be tempted by revenge?

Looks like we have a taker.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

[CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER: Previously on "Big Brother,"

after horsing around with Jason, Christmas got

a broken foot in her stocking.

Oh, my god!

Don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

I know my body so well, something's seriously wrong.

I definitely tore some ligaments.

ANNOUNCER: With the Head of Household on the line,

Paul Candy Crushed the competition.

[BELL RINGING] - Yes!

Yes, baby. What's up?

Your boy won HOH.

And guess what, that candy was pretty sweet.

But revenge is going to be even sweeter.

ANNOUNCER: And he was targeting public enemy number one.

I've got an A-plus plan to get Cody out of this house.

ANNOUNCER: So the bearded rocker recruited two pawns.

There's my boy.

Yes.

I don't know why all these people

have so much trust in me.

Just kidding. I know why.

Because Cody screwed over everybody in this house.

ANNOUNCER: At the nomination ceremony,

Ramses revealed he was cursed.

The curse forces me to put myself on the block

as a third nominee.

I'm using this ceremony to nominate myself for eviction

as a special third nominee.

ANNOUNCER: With the cos-player joining the pawns,

Paul worried about his backdoor plan.

The only thing that could go wrong here

is if Ramses wins the veto, pulls himself off, I am not

allowed to replace the nominee.

ANNOUNCER: After taking the ring of replacement

in the den of temptation--

Accept this temptation and the ring of replacement

will let you play in any one veto competition

you choose this summer.

I choose to accept this temptation.

ANNOUNCER: Christmas put a voodoo

curse on Jason, Jessica, and Cody,

turning them into V-toads.

Paul asked Ramses to throw the veto competition.

Either you throw the veto to somebody

to pull themselves off so I can replace them with Cody,

or you just sit there.

ANNOUNCER: And after a battle around the world.

Hope this is right.

ANNOUNCER: Ramses nearly won.

Seven minutes, seconds.

What?

My goal going into this competition

was to friggin' throw the competition.

But that apparently didn't happen.

ANNOUNCER: But it was the friar of friendship

who was the fastest flyer.

- You are the winner. - Oh.

Well, guess who has all the power this week.

And Ramses, you came in second place

after I told you to throw the comp.

But coming in second place, that's definitely not

throwing the comp.

ANNOUNCER: At the veto meeting, the Miami native

brought the heat.

I don't want to work with you. I want you out of this house.

And if it wasn't for that golden apple, I would have been home.

So I hope I see you hop your a*s on out of here.

ANNOUNCER: After the dust settled, Josh came down.

I've decided to use the power of veto on Josh.

ANNOUNCER: And it was mission accomplished for Paul.

I know you wanted to battle it out with me,

but I'm more of a checkmate kind of guy.

So Cody, hope on over, bud.

ANNOUNCER: Tonight, Alex, Ramses, or Cody

will be evicted.

Plus, will Christmas be forced to leave the game?

It's up to me to decide whether I leave the game

or have surgery and recover in the "Big Brother" house.

ANNOUNCER: And the battle for power begins again.

All this live on "Big Brother."

Who wants meatballs for lunch.

I bet you want them, huh?

[THEME MUSIC]

[CHEERING]

Good evening.

I'm Julie Chen.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

It's day inside the "Big Brother" house.

And after raging for weeks, the battle between Paul and Cody

has come to a head.

Having waged an unsuccessful rally to rid the house of Paul,

Cody now finds himself firmly in his arch-rival's crosshairs.

What nobody knows is that whomever walks out

the front door tonight will join the other evicted HouseGuests

next week for a chance to get back into the game.

I'll tell you more about the Battle Back Showdown

episode a little later on.

But first, another veto played, another veto used.

Another veto blows up the house.

Who wants meatballs for lunch.

I'll bet you want them, huh?

Meatballs and linguine for dinner, buddy.

It's your Last Supper.

Coward.

Hug and kiss that veto.

You're gonna call me a coward?

You don't got better words?

- A man-child, a victim. - OK.

Gosh, what else.

Fool.

Loser.

You're going to hop your a*s on out of here.

Hi, Julie!

Who's gonna look like the biggest loser now?

Who's going to look like the victim?

You fool.

- Let's go outside. - Mm.

And then you're going to be like,

hey Christmas, when you rallied, you did all his dirty work.

Oh, they're gonna kick you guys off one by one,

and we're trying to give you guys

a fair game at the [INAUDIBLE].

You were too scared to face them and compete against them.

And then you still lie on me.

What are you even talking about?

I'm not going to argue about--

Then shut the-- up if you don't want to argue, then.

Perfect.

Don't say I don't want to argue--

I want you to have a good week--

-- and then sit here and try to blast me.

--because you're going home next week.

So literally go change your diaper and shut up.

You're such a pawn on either side of the house,

and you don't see it. - Perfect, perfect.

So you're doing everyone's dirty work right now.

I'm a floater, but you're going home next week.

Perfect. - Baby, I can go home.

I'm not scared, OK?

But you're literally a pawn on both sides of the house.

And everyone is using you like--

And I'll own that, but if I go home,

you're going to go home before me.

OK. So bring it, then.

- Ditto. - Then bring it.

You look like a meatball.

You look like a fool.

You're going to hop your a*s on out of here.

Who's gonna look like the biggest fool?

You, buddy, not me.

Even though I'm on the block right now, I love it.

This is literally a train wreck right in front of me,

and I can't take my eyes off of it.

The more they fight, the better it is for me.

Who knew the block could be this fun?

You don't know how hard it is--

- Relax. - --to curse this idiot out.

Relax.

Cody's been nothing but disrespectful towards me

since day one.

Saying derogatory terms, running around with his smut face.

This toad went from a power trip straight to the block.

And guess what, Cody.

Meatball, you're going home this week.

I put myself on the block as a third nominee.

But I'm kind of at ease that Cody's next to me,

because I think he's a bigger target.

And I'm positive he's going to go home.

There's never a dull moment in the house.

You have some pretty good digs.

Thanks for keeping your cool, buddy.

- Yeah. - Respect.

Thanks. - Yeah, same.

It seems like Paul is the only other alpha

in this house that's willing to make big moves.

I took the first shot.

He took a shot back at me.

I don't blame him at all.

He's a competitor, and he needed to take me out.

Hello!

Yay!

Christmas!

Um, can we get everybody in the--

everybody in the living room?

Yeah.

It's been a real hard week, and I have to have

a major surgery on my foot.

Everyone in the living room.

Christmas has got news.

And now I have to make a big decision on whether or not

I stay or go home.

HouseGuests, as everyone knows, I broke my foot.

I now have officially been told that I will need surgery.

My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.

It's up to me to decide whether I leave the game

or have surgery and recover in the "Big Brother" house.

Should I choose to continue in the game,

"Big Brother" will not be altering any competitions.

That means there will be some competitions

that I can compete and some competitions

I cannot compete in.

Knowing all of this, my decision is

to continue to be the queen of perseverance

and stay in the "Big Brother" house.

[APPLAUSE]

Christmas is touting her own perseverance.

Just that's not perseverance to me.

I'm not feeling sympathetic for her.

I just want to thank all of you guys for your support

and your belief in my capability and that you

have continued to be compassionate

and understanding.

I'm so glad that you're staying with us.

Thanks.

I am too.

- Very, very blessed. - Pfft.

Cody's actions are distasteful and plain out inconsiderate.

Cody, when I first met you, I thought

you were a respectable man.

I mean, you're a marine.

It's one team, one fight.

Fast forward to now, and I'm completely

blown away about you.

I guess I was wrong.

You made me cry!

Thanks for sticking around.

I wanted to chat.

Yeah.

Cody's not going to beg for his life in this game,

but my game is not over.

So I need to try and mend fences with Christmas

and show her that I'm not the enemy here.

You might believe that I had something to do

or had any knowledge of you being nominated, and I did not.

And that is the truth.

Game-wise, I saw that you were going to take me and Cody out.

So, did I campaign against you?

Yes.

Does that mean that I disliked who you were as a person?

No.

I don't really know where things changed

personally between you and I, and you've

made my life here harder.

And I think that you're a better person than playing

the mean girl role.

OK.

So, where do you want to start?

I'll start from the beginning. - Yeah.

Yeah, I wanted to hear you through before I

responded to anything.

I honestly believe that you didn't

have any influence on what was going on with Cody's decision.

So, what turned for me is that I felt personally attacked.

I'm not trying to play this game in a dirty way.

I really am not.

I gave you an opportunity.

Give me an opportunity to respond.

OK.

I'm not trying to argue with you or be hostile with you.

I'm sorry I interrupted.

Please continue.

I broke my foot.

And then when I came back, you and Cody didn't come back

from downstairs to check on me.

Who was the first person that saw you, Christmas?

Do you want me to finish, or do you just

want to keep on interrupting?

Christmas--

I took that as a personal attack.

I'm not trying to be catty towards you.

I am not trying to be vindictive to you.

I'm literally just trying to live in the same house as you.

OK.

Well, then, let's just live in the same house.

Oh, man, Jessica.

Your timing is really peculiar.

She has her back pressed up against the wall.

She's put herself in this position.

And now she's doing whatever she can

to pivot out of that position.

I get it.

I hear you.

But I don't know.

Maybe you shouldn't call me a mean girl when

you're trying to apologize.

You have some time to mend some relationships.

And I promise to try to get past what happened.

But I can't guarantee.

So--

For the record, Christmas underwent

successful surgery yesterday.

And while she will return to the game,

she has not been medically cleared to leave

the hospital yet.

However she will join us live from her hospital room

to cast her vote to evict later in the show.

Up next, Cody may feel like a dead frog walking.

But is there time to save his girl's game?

Then, it's the live vote and eviction.

Either Alex, Ramses, or Cody will

leave the "Big Brother" house.

But whoever is sent packing will immediately

learn that they will get a shot to re-enter the game.

Stay with us.

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

He's up on the block and possibly headed out the door.

But Cody is determined to stir things up before he goes.

Oh my god. Oh my god, I'll help you.

I got it.

I got the door.

Today is Dominique's birthday.

I am super-duper excited.

I made her the best gluten free cake.

We don't have gifts, but we have each other, and that's enough.

One, two, three.

ALL: Happy birthday!

[CHEERING]

Look at this.

Peanut butter, chocolate, gluten free icing.

That look amazing!

Thank you.

And I'm going to get some ice cream just

to step this next level up.

I have had every punishment in the house poured onto me.

I'm on slot, and I can't even do something

as simple as eat a cake.

And where I can go in the house is limited, because we have

to sit on lily pads all week.

It's basically like every single comfort

has just been stripped from me.

[SOBBING]

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

[SOBBING]

I'm looking at Jess.

I feel really bad for her, everything that she's

had to go through in this game.

I'm hoping she can pull it together.

Because at this point, all we can do is salvage her game.

I'm disappointed in myself, because you

have faced all the collateral damage from my risks.

I didn't take you into consideration

at all where I took those risks, and it was selfish of me.

And I do regret it.

It's just getting harder and harder.

I never thought it would be this hard.

I feel like I'm going home this week.

I'm feeling pretty bad about the position I put Jessica in.

I mean, she's down in the dumps.

She's crying.

The least I can do for Jess is set her up for success

for the rest of the game.

Good starting point for that, dropping some names,

dropping some bombs, stirring the pot a little bit.

I'm just a little confused on why

there is so much direct animosity

and disdain for me from you.

You want to know what caused it?

Yeah, I'd like to.

You're not gonna believe me.

Well, let's try.

It wasn't blind.

I didn't go into this decision by myself.

So, what caused you putting me out?

Two people came to me.

--said put you up.

Jess wasn't involved.

Then afterwards, when I put you up,

Dominique then came up to me and she goes,

I promise I'm going to keep Christmas here.

So I'm like, so, you just play me

just to get me to put her up?

And I'm blown away.

I thought you were putting up because I had

a good relationship with Paul.

That is another reason.

Yeah, absolutely.

Even Paul-- like Act One Paul--

Mark knew about that from the start.

- You let him know your agenda. - Right, right.

If there is some way that you guys can get on the same page--

you don't even have to be friends with each other.

Just, like, get on the same page.

So, I'm not sure why you're telling me everything,

but I appreciate it.

Because I--

I mean, I'm out the door.

Like, there is nothing I can do.

I might as well shake things up.

I'm not saying that I believe him %,

but Dominique and Mark are definitely red flags.

Mark has continued to keep his distance from me,

and Dominique is just always keeping

her distance from everybody.

And so I have to tread with caution.

Yeah.

So, here we are.

We're ready for the Wednesday night show.

We have three HouseGuests on tonight.

We're ready to have a good time.

And now let me introduce Dominique the Dominator.

Let's hear it from the audience.

Thank you, thank you.

I host this talk show every week.

Kevin is my very dapper announcer.

This week, we're interviewing the nominees.

The first HouseGuest, lovely young lady.

Let's give her a big round of applause.

Alex from LA.

Welcome.

Have a seat.

So, hello, Alex.

Hello.

Tell us who you are, where you're from, and a fun fact.

A fun fact about me is that I crochet, knit, play games.

We'll get into that.

I lived most of my childhood in the Dominican Republic.

- Wow. - So hello, Cody.

Hey, what's going on?

Thanks for joining us.

Have a seat. All right.

So, let's talk about day one.

So what's going on in your head?

Any not-so-great impressions that--

Paul.

I didn't like Paul right off the bat.

Why?

I thought he was loud and brash, and I

just found it over-the-top.

Wow.

Here I am, bud.

Here I am.

Do we have any questions before I continue?

If you weren't intimidated as a man or a player,

do you think you would have lasted longer in this game?

Is that supposed to be a dig at me, Josh?

No, it's a serious question.

Josh, you don't exist in my book.

I'm not going to give you any more--

I'm a guest asking a question.

I'm not taking any questions from Josh.

- OK. - OK, we can respect that.

[INAUDIBLE].

I was just asking him a question.

Moving into HOH, it's no secret there

were organically forming teams.

And you were the leader.

Uh, no.

I just wanted to beat Paul.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

So was this like an internal inclination, or you had--

First week, I was going to try and take Paul out.

And then that we're just going to compete from that point on.

What's up?

So, was it a decision that was solely based on your own?

There was at least one or two people always involved.

Meaning what?

Like you told them, or just one or two people involved?

One or two people always knew about the decision

I was going to make.

Which decision is that?

All I'm saying.

That's all I'm saying.

Well, I'm asking, which decision is that?

That's all I'm saying.

For what?

That's all I'm saying.

One or two people knew which decision?

That's all I'm saying, Mark.

So, the one or two people that knew about every decision

that you made, that statement right there,

is going to help Jess's game moving forward.

Are you implying that me just putting

out a general statement, that you're

going to go after Jess now?

I'm just making a statement.

I get where you're going with it,

because I'm not a dumb-dumb, when you're trying--

Neither am I when you say one or two people know.

All right. Very well.

Just relax.

Yeah, chill, buddy.

Relax.

Again, I take things personally because--

I know you do.

--for whatever reason, I think he'd be a man of his word

and actually go out like a man.

About what he's done in the last two weeks

would make you think that?

You know Cody was blowing smoke

when he said that, about one or two people always knowing.

Dude, he's dropping bombs before he leaves.

OK.

I'm sure he wanted people to assume that you are one.

But this does not change anything.

Absolutely not.

So now, what I'm more concerned

about is Dom referring to us as an organic group.

Why would you even go down that line of questioning?

I have no idea what that was all about.

Of course you don't know.

None of us know.

After this spew, I'm safe.

Y'all are not.

And whatever she just dropped may not

have affected our heads, but it's not our heads

we need to worry about.

It's the other people who could potentially want HOH.

Dominique's line of questioning

was absolutely the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

There are obvious cracks going on in this group,

and I want to make sure that I maybe crack them a little more

so that I can set myself up for when I am no longer safe.

That was not OK.

Look, Dominique, if you keep going down this path,

you might just be on the opposite end

of a hosting show--

AKA, the exit interview with Julie Chen.

Up next, it's the live vote and eviction.

Alex, Ramses, or Cody.

Two will be safe.

One will be evicted.

Then an epic battle of endurance begins.

Who will become Head Of Household

at this crucial point in the game?

Stay with us.

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

It's now time for the live vote and eviction.

Alex, Ramses, or Cody.

Who will be sent packing?

It's time to find out.

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

Hello, HouseGuests.

[CHEERING]

Before we begin tonight's live vote,

I wanted to let you know that Christmas had her surgery

yesterday.

All went well.

But she has not been cleared medically

to leave the hospital yet.

However she will be casting her eviction

vote live remotely tonight.

With that, it's now time for the live vote and eviction.

Alex, Ramses, Cody, 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.

Alex, you're first.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Alex, for those of you who don't know me.

Actually, you all know me hopefully,

and know me well enough to keep me in this house.

This has been one of the greatest

experiences of my life, and I'm so excited to be here.

I trust that all of you know me well enough

and have seen me compete to know that I deserve to be here

and fight for a place.

Please do not cast your votes to evict me tonight,

because I plan to stay and compete against all of you

in a good competitive nature.

Thank you.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you, Alex.

Ramses?

OK.

Guys, I was put in this position by myself, which really sucks.

So I'm hoping you guys don't vote to evict me.

I'm loving the time I've got to spend with you guys,

and I really, really, really want more time with you guys.

So yeah, please don't take me out on the day

that I put myself up on the block,

because that would suck severely.

Thank you.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you, Ramses.

Cody?

Paisley, love and miss you, kiddo.

Don't be a beta.

Jessica, thanks for standing side by side with me.

I'm extremely humbled.

I'm going to be bummed.

I'm going to miss you a lot.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you, Cody.

Thank you all.

All right, it's now time for the live voting to begin.

The three nominees are not allowed to vote.

Paul, as current head of household,

you will only vote in the event of a tie.

One at a time, the rest of you will enter the Diary Room

and cast your vote to evict.

Jessica, you're up first.

Please go to the Diary Room.

Jessica is in a very public showmance with Cody.

So which of the other two will she vote to evict?

Hi, Jessica.

Hi, gorgeous.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Ramses.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you.

Thank you.

Kevin cast a mystery vote last week.

Will he do the same tonight? Hi, Kevin.

Hey, Julie. How are you doing tonight?

I'm well, thank you.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I cast to evict Ramses.

Happy birthday, Mom.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you. - Thank you, Julie.

Have a good night.

Let's now join Christmas live on the phone

from her hospital room.

Christmas, hello.

CHRISTMAS (ON PHONE): Hi, Julie.

How are you feeling?

CHRISTMAS (ON PHONE): I'm feeling

better, as minutes go on.

JULIE CHEN: All right.

Well, you know we're in the middle of the live vote.

So I do need to ask you to please cast your vote to evict.

CHRISTMAS (ON PHONE): Yes, ma'am.

I cast my vote--

I vote to evict Ramses.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you.

CHRISTMAS (ON PHONE): Thank you.

The vote is zero votes to evict Alex,

three votes to evict Ramses, and no votes to evict Cody.

The rest of the votes plus the live eviction when we return.

Stay with us.

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

The HouseGuests are currently voting live to evict

either Alex, Ramses, or Cody.

So far it's zero votes to evict Alex,

three votes to evict Ramses, and no votes to evict Cody.

Let's continue with the live vote.

Raven joined her allies last week and abandoned Cody.

Her vote should be an obvious one.

Hi, Raven.

Hey, hey, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Cody.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you. - Thank you.

Dominique's talk show helped Cody shake up the house.

But did it shake up her vote?

Hi, Dominique.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Cody.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you. - Thank you.

Cody publicly blew up Mark's game.

Will Mark return the favor tonight?

Hello, Mark. - Hey, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Cody.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you. - Yep.

Jason shared a lily pad with Cody this week.

Does he have any allegiance for his fellow frog?

Hi, Jason.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I wish it worked out better for you,

but I vote to evict Cody.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you.

Thank you.

Josh has made no secret of how he feels about Cody.

His vote should not be a secret either.

Hi, Josh.

What's up, Julie?

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Cody.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you.

Thank you.

Elena felt blindsided by Cody's actions last week.

Was it enough for her to want him evicted?

Hi, Elena.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Cody.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you. - Thanks.

It's official.

With six votes to evict Cody, Cody

will leave the house tonight.

But let's see how Matt votes.

Hi, Matt.

What's up, Julie?

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Cody.

JULIE CHEN: Thank you.

Thanks, Julie.

All of the votes are in.

Let's give the news to the HouseGuests.

HouseGuests, the votes are in.

When I reveal the vote, the evicted HouseGuests

will have just a few moments to say

goodbye, gather his or her belongings,

and walk out the front door.

With zero votes to evict, Alex, you're safe, which means

it's between Ramsey's and Cody.

By a vote of seven to three, Cody, you have been evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

[INAUDIBLE].

I'm taking her away.

[INAUDIBLE]

Hey, will you be my girlfriend?

[APPLAUSE]

Have a seat.

--what that was.

That was very interesting.

It was pretty interesting.

It's so weird.

It is weird.

Of course he didn't say goodbye.

I'm sorry for you.

- Thank you. - It's OK.

[INAUDIBLE] girl?

Yeah.

Well, that's one.

Hm?

Well, let's just start with what you whispered to Jessica.

You asked her to be your girlfriend.

Is this-- - You guys got that, huh?

Yeah. Oh, please.

We have microphones everywhere.

So, this is a real relationship, one that you hope

to pursue outside the house.

Absolutely.

Well, at least there's that.

Yeah.

From your short time in the house.

- Right. - Let's talk about the game.

It seemed like just a short time ago you appeared to be set.

You had an alliance of nine.

You were running that house.

It looked like for weeks you were going to be safe.

Right.

But you on your own decided to blindside Paul.

What was the thinking behind not telling anyone about that move?

Because I knew somebody was going

to try and talk me out of it.

I wanted it to be a big move.

I wanted it to be my decision.

So I went with it.

But you seem strong-minded.

I don't think someone would have been

able to talk you out of it. - No.

But I also didn't want them to forewarn him either,

because he's really good at gaming the game

and talking to people.

So I didn't want him to already be in their ear

before it actually happened.

But you didn't even tell Jessica.

- No. - What was that-- why?

I knew she was going to be pissed off about--

can I say that?

I knew she was going to be mad about it.

I mean, she's already mad at, like, every decision

I made in this game.

She's called me the worst player in "Big Brother"

history multiple times.

You're already like a married couple.

I know, yeah.

So, I mean, her game is going to be a lot better without me,

I guarantee it.

But then when Paul pulled out that Pendant of Protection,

on the spot you went after someone

else who everyone in the house thought was in your alliance.

Christmas thought she was in the g*ng.

Right.

Why go after one of your own so early?

Paul and Christmas were, like, on the outside fray

of what I call, like, the couples and Dom.

And I don't know, Christmas was so high anxiety

and high emotion, any time she was around,

you could just feel it in the group.

Everyone would just lose their calm.

And she was also close to Paul.

So once I went after Paul, I had to go after Christmas.

But didn't you think at least for a while

you could trust her? - Yeah.

I mean, she was good to go in my book, on multiple levels.

But, I mean, my weak--

I was a third of the way into nominating the entire house.

So, I mean, I literally had to take week one strategy,

put the week four strategy in week one.

And I just kept moving it down the line.

Like, I had no time to think about it.

I mean, I was literally a third of the way

into nominating, like, the cast.

When Paul first nominated you, we didn't see you campaign.

It almost appeared like you threw in the towel, which does

not seem like Cody's style.

But in the last hours, you started to stir things up.

- Right. - And you made accusations.

Why? - I don't know.

Just-- I mean, I wasn't going to completely throw in the towel.

Paul had these guys--

I mean, they're like groupies to him in there.

Like, Paul tells a story, and it's like, tell another one,

Paul. Tell another one.

I mean, the guy just--

the guy holds court in there.

So I knew instantly--

and I could see it during that HOH competition.

It was basically a team competition

where they just helped Paul out with the tickets.

And that's when I knew all my loyalty

was gone with these guys.

Once I had no power, they wanted nothing to do with me

and everything to do with Paul.

He has a good social game.

You are very strong-- - Yeah.

Physically, you're good at competitions.

You're not stupid.

Do you have a social game?

I swear-- I swear I do.

But with those people in there, I

swear there's no loyalty in like most of those people.

So they're just going to keep bouncing from person to person.

I should have thought more with my mind instead of my heart,

but that's the way I play.

If you could do-- all right, well then,

is that what you would do over?

If you could do anything over again, what would it be?

I would take the same risks--

I just hate that Den of Temptation.

That's the only thing that really got me, was--

I mean, Paul literally has three weeks of unfettered safety.

That means he can play in all competitions

and still have that safety.

So I thought it was a cheat.

I didn't like it.

But it is what it is.

I took the chance, and I don't regret it.

Well, what if we said we gave you a second chance?

You're lying.

[CHEERING]

I'm not lying, am I?

There is yet another twist in the game

that you and everyone in the house is unaware of.

Next week, you, Cameron--

remember Cameron?

I-- vaguely.

He was voted out a few weeks ago.

You, Cameron, Jillian, and next week's evictee

will get the chance to battle back your way into the game.

You game?

I see revenge in those eyes.

So, you might get a second chance at the half million

dollar prize.

We're ready for you.

Sound good?

Are you guys--

are you guys ready?

Geez, I don't know. - No, we're not--

I didn't think I was going to come

out with anybody even cheering.

I'm surprised by all this.

[CHEERING]

You're a competitor.

Stay right there. - Sure.

Don't go away.

Up next, an epic battle of endurance

will determine who rises to power.

Who will become the new head of household?

Stay with us.

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome back to "Big Brother".

It's time for the live Head of Household competition.

Free from the threat of eviction,

the HOH must put two nominees on the chopping block.

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

HouseGuests, power is up for grabs.

Paul, as outgoing Head of Household,

you are not eligible to compete.

And just so you know, even though Christmas is not here

tonight, if she was here, she would

not have been medically cleared to participate for this HOH.

This competition is called Space Cadets,

and the concept is simple.

Hang on for dear life.

The last HouseGuest standing on the arm

of the "Big Brother" space station

will become the new Head of Household.

Does everyone understand?

ALL: Yeah.

JULIE CHEN: Great.

Because this competition starts now.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah, baby.

This is not lit, you guys. Not lit.

Welcome to "Big Brother"!

[INAUDIBLE].

Make [INAUDIBLE].

We'll rejoin this all-important Head of Household

competition in just a moment.

But first, voting is still open for this week's

Den of Temptation.

Here's how to vote?

ANNOUNCER: It's time for America's vote.

You can vote to tempt the HouseGuest of your choice

inside the Den of Temptation.

Each temptation offers an advantage that

could help them in the game.

But remember, it also comes with a consequence

that will affect one or more of their housemates.

The third temptation is the Halting Hex.

Who do you want to receive this week's temptation?

Go to cbs.com/bbvote for all the details and to vote now.

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

competition and to see who the new HOH nominates for eviction.

Then on Wednesday, could the veto change the nominees

for a third week in a row?

be tempted in the final Den of Temptation of the summer.

JULIE CHEN: Well, I suggest you hold on tight.

And remember, in space, even "Big

Brother" can't hear you scream.

JULIE CHEN: Good night, HouseGuests.
