I was shocked that we couldn't get into the bedrooms because usually you set your bag down on a bed and that's your
bed like a log cabin this is insane where are the rooms Sharon
Amanda and Chelsea you may now enter
the rooms are locked where there's we have no bedroom come here come here
these are the two bedrooms look I pray you do not fall in love with me for I am
Foster that thou is made in wives and Dreadful thing compared with love
and dreams wait we gotta find the other one did anybody notice that there's only seven of us yeah
we all are yeah everybody's single so I I'm just just sketchy about this whole
situation right now okay the women are getting to know each other but what one of them doesn't know is that there's an
unexpected wrinkle awaiting her Sharon who is a realtor from Kansas recently
ended a 12-year relationship with the man she claimed to be madly in love with
she and her ex have no idea that they're about to be reunited in the Big Brother
house let's find out more about Sharon and Jacob
well there's is Jake I am Sharon and I am 23. Jacob and I dated on and off for
close to about 12 years we grew up together he followed me home in eighth grade we became friends throughout high
school and then he joined the military and then went overseas for a while and then when he came home we kind of ended
it I'm Jacob and I'm 23. this was the relationship that had the potential to
go the distance but I ultimately cheated on her it was very tough very tough and
I failed I have not talked to her since that has happened I'm not quite over the
past relationship yet because I blew the love of my life Jacob was actually the love my life but
I'm the one that got screwed over so I have to let myself move on
little Sharon and Jacob react when they come face to face with each other we'll find out in a few moments another woman
Jen a bartender from Ohio is also about to come face to face with someone she
knows outside the Big Brother house her loving boyfriend but unlike Sharon and
Jacob these two are in cahoots with each other they'll be working as a team to try to get to the half million dollar
grand prize but if they're found out they're likely to become quick targets for eviction their plan to play the game
as total strangers and not let anyone know they're a real life couple let's find out more about Jen and Ryan
I'm Jen and I'm her boyfriend Ryan [Applause]
Jen and I have been dating nine months total but we have been living together for about seven months
Ryan is definitely a teddy bear what what you see this big bone guy he's got such a soft heart he's so sensitive
we're both somewhat jealous people geez that's hot right give me some fireworks to get ugly but you know Ryan knows to

cuter I was like damn I thought Jin is by far the hottest girl in the house what'd you say your name once again my

Big Brother till death do you part house guests
[Music]
that is our motto expect the unexpected take a good look at each other
based on the extensive personality testing and interviews you did before entering the Big Brother house I'm happy
to tell you that each one of you has a perfect match sitting in this living
room right now
someone who could very well be your soul mate who could that person be that is
the question there's a couple cute ones in there the one with the mascara she looks good I hope it's not the cougar I
mean she might be a little too too old for me I so like the bad boy and that has
always gotten me in trouble Amanda's beautiful she has the sickest body in this house I really like that
Chelsea girl she has that wild side that like she has that flavor before I announce the pears there is
something else you need to know [Music]
for the first time in Big Brother history you'll be playing the game not
as individuals but as couples partnered with your new
soul mate [Music]
's guess you will compete as couples when head of household as couples be
nominated and be evicted as couples when she said we're gonna hook you up with
somebody I was like oh my God they better not be put me with Jacob I hope Sharon is my soul mate it's really tough
to know that there could be a soul mate here for her that's not me
are you serious till death do you part means everything you do you will do with
your soul mate including sleeping together in the same bed if Jen is
paired with someone else it's gonna totally k*ll me I mean I'm somewhat of a jealous person watching her with another
guy and when I'm around I mean it's going to be real hard not for me to step in or say anything this is going to ruin
everything any plans that we had coming into this game are going to be trash if we are not together screws up everything
[Music] house guests
are you ready so ready Julie Julie came on and said we're gonna be playing couples so death to us part everything
you've known about big brother went right out the window and I knew from this point on this the game's gonna take a Twist that no one ever saw coming I'll
call out the pairs in random Order each couple will then immediately go and
claim their bed once you're in your bedroom please stay there here we go

charming funny guys they were disappearing one by one Jen
you've been found to be most compatible
with Parker [Music]
and that didn't get paired with Jen it's tough and she's paired up with this other guy
she's sleeping in this bed and you know obviously there's going to be a little jealousy

bit

[Music] I told myself I was gonna cry
[Music] God it is so horrible
[Music]
now that the house guests have been partnered up as soul mates let's see how they do as teammates
house guests the power is up for grabs like never before
it's time for your first competition remember you will be competing as
couples and the stakes are higher than ever that's because one couple will win the
sole power to evict another couple in just a matter of hours
evict it's really really scary to realize that somebody will be going home in a matter of hours or getting somebody
out of here right away but I don't want to be the person to leave [Music]
right here Natalie and I really need to win this thing because if we don't we're
going home look at me I'm I'm very in shape the other guys see that they know I'm a threat in this competition
the first thing I thought when I saw this lined up was I so don't want to do this Adam is just so like uh
uh it's a romantic it's a great setting here too to hurt my feelings I'm stuck
with this Beast of a woman house guests this competition is called Falling For
You couples you'll decide which one of you will be suspended in the air the other
will lie on the honeymoon bed below when the suspended partner is lowered
you need to grab onto each other and hold on tightly because you all will
then be lifted back into the air once in the air if your partner Falls
you and your partner will be eliminated the couple that stays suspended the
longest will be named the first ever power couple
[Music] the soul power terrific another couple from the house
it's time to decide who wants to be above and who wants to be below you're
really easier for me to hold on to you since you're suspended so you won't have to hold me so you think you can hold on to me longer
you don't have to hold me I'll just clinch on to you if you're holy you can hold me then you will live longer than I
can hold you in mine if I'm suspended I ain't going anywhere but you are heavier than I am I I can't hold you we just
have to work together we have got to pull this through and we just have to get this done because it's gonna be a
long three months if we don't huh I'll put it on I didn't want to fight with her about it so I was just like okay
let's do it hell yeah well hello hi
it's a it's a great first date I guess you could say it was a little weird seeing Allison
wrapped around Ryan in the competition your legs and your arms around my man
seeing me all straddled up and Lock and Load with Parker
sorry if my breath with that snake the breath was a disgusting smell I'm
Batman the breath just real damage was laying there couples hold on tight
begins [Music] oh my gosh
[Music]
during the competition Ryan sweat on me profusely but he was my teammate and
there was nothing he could do to make me want to give up
being close to Adam is so not my idea of fun as soon as we were up there I was
like thinking I I gotta get out of here he's going down yeah
oh what are you doing [Music] Sheila and Adam the two of you have been
eliminated from this competition oh we're both going home oh I went out I'm embarrassed to even be stuck with this
girl this Dragon dead wait around day one horrible we're never gonna make it then sugary we're done let's go
sorry guys I've lost our second couple Neil and Joshua the two of you have been
eliminated from this competition foreign
[Music]
when Alex and I were hanging out there I was looking at all the other girls and
they looked kind of comfy um I'm the heaviest girl here muscles
heavy I have some Pudge I could get rid of too by the way don't you dare
[Music]
I'm sorry Amanda is down Alex and Amanda the two
of you have been eliminated from this competition babe I try
only five couples Remain the winning team will gain the ultimate power to
evict one couple of their own choosing [Music]
I can't feel my damn legs
you look great I'm gonna bite put your arms back over my neck
seriously I got you wrestling trying to dispatch myself out I
definitely thought the competition was very difficult especially with him and I not being on the same page you want to
drive babe drive oh I give up I don't want to give up all right just hang
there
[Music] Drop In Style ready one two drop
Sharon and Jacob the two of you have been eliminated from this competition
so we have half our couples left lay back and enjoy the ride
good house guests now that half of you have been eliminated I have a little
surprise for you of course those heart pillows below each of you could now be
worth cash if you accept this extra challenge when I say go you will have 10
minutes to try and pick up your pillow using only your hands if you succeed in
getting the pillow and end up winning this competition you will also win ten thousand dollars
ten thousand dollars is huge for someone who doesn't have any money that's a lot there was absolutely no way I wasn't
gonna try for the pillows ready house guests and go oh man I've got it I swear you
think you can shimmy up around your neck
[Music]
finding out that we could go for the pillow we stopped and thought and totally realized that you know if I fell
gone for this pillow we would risk everything and lose the power Couple come on all right Matt and Natalie I'm
gonna try and go for it we're not doing it Julie we're going for the 500. [Music]
oh
[Music]
house guests those heart pillows could now be worth cash if you succeed in
getting the pillow and end up winning this competition you'll win the pound the power twist that the cup of your
choice and ten thousand dollars in cash okay oh and Jen has successfully grabbed
her heart pillow I got you sure there you go how did you do that
oh and another team down Allison nice try
but I'm sorry you and Ryan have been eliminated from this competition I would
say that my greed and competitiveness definitely cost us this competition and
then there were three couples
see ya just gotta hang on to each other till the end [Music]
you guys [Music] give me a breathe I gotta help my
partner breathe no no no no just ten thousand dollars in my hand are you kidding me don't do this
I know
oh and Chelsea is down James you and Chelsea have been eliminated damn it
yeah but we can talk to them we have a pillow weighs all in there we're safe you guys I swear to God on the Holy
Bible I promise you're safe we've got the pillow just dropped you're safe I promise you're my girl Jazz you you're
safe I promise we promise soon you're the lady [Music]
a battle worth fighting
all right after some negotiating we have our first Power couple oh Parker and Jen
congratulations the two of you are the winners of falling for you
yes we got ten thousand dollars all
Jen and Parker yes congratulations thank you Julie as the winners you are now the
first ever power couple and you've won ten thousand dollars
now take a good look at your housemates
because the fate of these couples now rests in your hands now they were the
first ones out of the competition I mean it'll be easy decision for the winners to say look you guys lost are the first
ones to go at this competition you're gonna go home you have only a matter of hours to make this decision now the man
Parker are the power couple we have to send another couple home right now on my
radar is Sheila and Adam just because of the negative energy with Jen having to
power in her hands I feel 100 safe Ryan and Allison maybe two possible targets
because Orion he's a pretty big dude he's pretty strong and Allison she seems like she's definitely like really smart
I think the two of them would definitely be a deadly combination [Music]
