-Julie chen: tonight the veto meeting

Will set the stage for what could be

The biggest move yet this summer.

Welcome to live eviction night on big brother.

-Announcer: previously on big brother...

With the team twist done,

The cookout was the most powerful alliance in the house.

-I am not just trying to get

The six of us to jury,

I would actually like to see two members of the cookout

In the final two seats.

-Announcer: but cracks in the cookout

Were beginning to form.

-It is resolved.

-It takes two people to feel that something's resolved.

-[Screams]

-Announcer: after derek x. Won power...

-Congratulations, derek. You are the new

Head of household. -Whoo!

-Announcer: he formulated a plan to take out

A blue chip player.

-I'm thinking about taking a shot at christian,

But because he's such a comp beast,

You can't just nominate him, it has to be a backdoor.

-Announcer: so derek started by putting

Two pawns on the block.

-I nominate you, sarah beth, and you, britini.

-Are you kidding me?

-Announcer: with the veto on the line...

Work the butt, work the butt.

-Announcer: ...punishments were given.

-The duke of the deck prize.

The jackass of clubs prize.

Are you now the lord of the latrine.

-Announcer: and power was won.

-Congratulations, britini.

You have won the golden power of veto.

-Whoo! Come on, man.

Guess who's the first female in the house

To win a golden power of veto?

This is for you, fam.

-Announcer: before the veto meeting,

Derek x. Came clean to christian's showmance.

-Announcer: sending "chrisalyss"

And their allies scrambling.

-If derek x. Does backdoor christian this week,

When the time comes for me to take a shot at derek x.,

I promise I'm not going to miss.

-Hey, houseguests. It's time for the veto meeting.

-Announcer: an leaving christian

To plead for his life in the game.

-This is my last opportunity

To persuade derek x.

To stick with the freaking plan.

We will go after each other eventually. Not now.

Just think about it. -Announcer: tonight...

Will derek x. Back down or backdoor?

Plus, the last houseguest before jury

Will be evicted tonight,

And a huge new twist is revealed.

Where you, america, will have a major impact

On the game.

All this right now

Live on big brother.

-Win the veto, earn your safety

And betray your team.



-Chen: good evening.

I'm julie chen moonves.

Welcome to big brother.

It's day inside the big brother house,

And the current head of household, derek x.

Has taken the game into his own hands

Making it his mission this week

To take out a huge threat: christian.

If he chooses to take his shot,

It could be the end of the royal flush.

So when the veto meeting goes down,

Will derek x. Follow through with his backdoor plan?

And if he does,

Who will ultimately be walking out the front door?

We'll find out live tonight.

But first, to backdoor or not to backdoor?

That is the question.

-This is the veto meeting.

Myself and sarah beth have been nominated for eviction,

But I have the power to veto one of the nominations.

I have decided...

...to use the power of veto

To save myself.

Derek, since I have just vetoed

One of your nominations for eviction,

You must now name the new houseguest

As a replacement nominee.



-Christian, please take a seat.

Christian, it's no secret to everyone in this house

That you are a large, competitive threat

To everyone in this room.

Sorry.

-This veto meeting is adjourned.

-Derek x. Is a coward for putting me up on a week

Where I didn't have a chance to compete for my own safety.

Congratulations.

You put me on the block, you backdoored me,

But I only need five votes to stay.

I already have two with the formerly-known kings,

Alyssa and xavier, that means I only need three more votes.

I'll hit the ground running, talk to everyone I need to

Because I'm staying this week, no matter what.

It's just a game. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.

-I put christian up and everything

Has gone perfectly this week.

Voting out christian, the biggest competitor in this house

Pre-jury is the best move

For everyone in this game, and we should see

Christian going out the door on eviction night.

-Christian is the best option

For who could be sitting beside me.

I don't need to campaign against him.

He's a walking campaign against himself.

So if I can just lay low,

I think I'd be good.



-I tried.

-I know.

-No. I don't think so. No.

-Um...

-I think it's a /. What do you want to do?

-[Exhales]

-Right now you just need to breathe.

-I want to give you your privacy,

But I wanted to come and give you a hug.

I just didn't want to be on top of you.

I'm sorry, my brother.

I apologize.

-You may be the swing.

-I got you. I got you.

-It's not smart for your game to keep another girl any ways.

-I already know that.

-I love christian. You know, I'm not that close to s.b.

But I have to check in with the jokers.

I have to check in with the cookout.

To see where everyone's head is at before I make a decision.

-I'm just going to start campaigning.

-Lord of the latrine.

-My services are demanded.

-Thank you.

-Please.

Follow me into my latrine.

So s.b.

She's playing everybody.

Sarah beth is my former kings teammate.

However, if I've got to throw sarah beth under the bus

This week I will gladly do it because

I have a very, very strong feeling

That I'm sitting on the block next to her because

Of the things she said to derek x.

You got stuck with this

Because she begged you and cried on the spot.

Oh, don't take my five grand.

You're out five grand

And have... Duty

Because she was selfish.

She's on the block because she didn't go for veto.

You are my shield. I'm telling you that.

I am your shield. We are each other's shields.

If you keep me,

Then we can knock off every one of these people.

It's in my best interest for you to stay.

-It's in his best interest for you to stay.

-Sorry. It's in your best interest.

It is also in my best interest. That's the truth.

-[Horn honks]

-Lord christian's using the porcelain throne.

-Chen: up next,

Christian may be on the block,

But his fate is far from certain.

Then it's the live vote and eviction.

Will the results send sarah beth home

Or will it split up the showmance?

Plus, it's time to drop the next big twist of the summer

To you at home and to the houseguests.

Stay with us.





-Chen: welcome back to big brother.

With derek x.'S backdoor plan in place,

Cracks begin to form

In the most secret alliance in the house.

-They gave us pringles, right? -Mm-hmm.

-Duke of the deck.

I want to be entertained.

-Oh. -Claire.

-Yeah, claire.

-Oh, my god. No.

Goodbye.

-Bye! -Goodbye now.

I was out first in the veto comp, which means I earned

The duke of the deck punishment.

Who wants to see

My cardetard uniform? -Ah!

-Yes!

-Oh, my god. -Claire, yes.

-I must wear this ridiculous

Carditard unitard all week long.

And to make matters worse,

Any time the king demands to be entertained,

I have to play card pickup all by myself.

Ta da!

It's going to be a long week.

-Queen claire.

-That's such an odd move, sir.

-I regret it already.

-You can change if you want.

-Kyland, I am getting hungry.

Where is my jackass? -Oh!

-Club sandwiches. -Oh!

Let's go.

-In the veto comp,

I unfortunately earned a punishment that's going

To make me feel like a total jackass.

Who wants to see the jack a*s of clubs?

-Oh, my god. -Oh, my god.

I must wear this jackass of clubs costume

For a whole week.

-You look so cute. -So cute.

-You actually look good. -Oh, my gosh.

-So any time the king demands,

I must make club sandwiches

For people in the house.

-Jackass of clubs,

Make a club sandwich

For everyone in the house.

-Yes! -Everyone.

-Everyone. -Yes!

-I did't even know what a club sandwich was until I became

The jackass of clubs.

This sandwich is a full-on production.

I'm frying up bacon.

Then I cut up my veggies,

Toast each of the three pieces of bread,

Then get them stacked with three different types of meat.

Who needs that many meats?

-Oh, my god. I'm so excited.

-Is this for the king of england? Who is this?

You have been served. -Thank you.

-You've been served. -Thank you so much.

-Xavier, you've been served.

My first round of sandwiches probably takes me

About an hour, hour and a half.

On behalf of the king. -Thank you.

-And this is just the first of seven days.

The next time someone offers you

A choice between dressing like a donkey

And making sandwiches

Or taking $,,

Just take the $,.

Trust me on this one.

-That was fantastic, buddy.

You took care of us.

-[Burps]

Excuse me.



-Hi, honey.

I'm all sweaty or I would hug you.

I can only imagine how you feel right now

Because this is a shock to everybody.

But I will say that...

-But the thing that worries me,

Honestly...

Isn't her, it's you and claire.

-Why me and claire?

-Your hug seemed like a goodbye hug.

-Oh, christian. I hugged you, honey,

Because I hate to see you in that seat.

I love you, hon.

I'm sorry.

I'm not saying goodbye to you.

Listen, I know that you're not coming after me.

But I also don't know

Where the house is, and in this game,

You don't want to be on the wrong side.

-You would vote with the house?

-I would vote with the house. -But the thing is

You and claire are the house because you're the swing.

X and lyss guaranteed.

Britini, big d.

That's four. -Okay.

-You and claire is six.

You said you'd go with the majority.

-And so you're saying-- -you are the majority.

-Okay. -It's--

-So it all depends on me and claire?

-I am your shield.

-I agree with that.

-And I'd be fighting for you.

-You're making some very valid points.

I have a soft spot for christian.

But he's putting pressure on me

For my vote when I know he doesn't need one more vote.

He needs three.

So it really tugs on my heart to see him

Campaigning to stay

And other people

Misleading him that they are voting for him.

I know I have a lot to think about.

-Okay, I'll let you think.

-Don't you tell him you are not voting to keep him.

-Because at this point I'm stuck.

-If he asks me again for my vote

Because he thinks he has yours,

I am only going to be forced

To say britini is not voting for you.

-That puts her in a terrible position.

-It's putting me in a position.

He's pressuring me like I'm the swing vote, and I'm not.

-Come in.

You're in this, too. -Is everything okay?

-She wants you to tell christian that the answer is "no."

Or she'll tell him.

-He is looking at me

As if I am the swing vote

For him to stay here

And my vote-- and it's not my vote.

-You should tell him that.

-That's why I'm sitting here telling britini

That if he asks me again,

I'm going to let him know I'm not the swing vote.

-I personally like christian better than I like sarah beth.

I am genuinely conflicted right now.

I really don't know where my vote's going.

-What was that?

-I'm not worried about that b*tch.

So, my mindset right now is

I think I'm going to go to each person

And tell them I don't want to be a part

Of this alliance any more.

-Don't say that.

Please don't say that, please don't say that.

-I don't want to work with this b*tch any more.

-Please don't say that. Please. -I don't.

-Please, I'm bigging you please.

-Tiffany is trying

To go out there and make decisions

And boss people around.

And that doesn't sit well with me.

I don't listen to no one

Except my mother and god.

The last time I checked she is not my mother, sherry,

And she is not god himself.

So she's not going to tell me

Or tell people on my team what to do.

-You've got to just hold it together. I'm begging you, man.

-I don't do good with people that try to act

Like they are the boss. But you're not the boss.

No, girl, you sitting over here trying to play puppet master.

Do it look like I have a clown face on my face right now?

Please, tell me.

So I can squeeze the red nose.

We have a final six, the cookout.

We're supposed to look out for each other as black people,

But you have one player who's not playing

Like a team player.

I don't deal with bum-a*s b*tches like that.

That's not loyalty. That's some fake-a*s b*tch.

-Chen: up next,

The cookout divide continues to grow.

Then the live vote and eviction

Will send either christian or sarah beth packing.

Plus, find out how you at home

Will be part of the next big twist.

Stay with us.





-Chen: welcome back to big brother.

With christian on the block

And the target squarely on his back,

Could his only hope come from an th hour flip?

-How do you feel?

That things are going?

-Unfortunately,

I think that people have you believing

That you need one more vote.

I am telling you you need three.

And not one of those jokers...

...regardless of what they are telling you,

Are voting for you to stay.

You think they're going to vote to keep you here, christian,

And I'm telling you that they are not.

If I was the swing vote,

As they have you thinking,

I would vote for you to stay.

-I believe I have two votes from the jokers.

-I am not lying to you.

-But big d and britini. -Six.

Big d and britini are flip-floppers.

-I get that. And if I could get them

To flop in the right direction-- -they'll always flop.

-They could be next.

I provide the next target.

I stay, I provide another week of safety for you guys,

So that whole side of the house is safe.

-I've got to think, christian. It's a lot.

-Who can beat baby d?

-It's you.

-Why does me going home help you take him out?

-The more I think about it,

The more I realize that keeping christian

Is more beneficial for my game than sarah beth.

-I originally came in this room

To tell you that it is a "no" from me.

But I am leaving this room telling you

I am very conflicted.

You gave me a lot. Let me think about. I like it, though.

I am emotionally and mentally conflicted

Because I personally feel like if I push hard enough

I can get christian to stay in this house.

-I know. I felt the same way, too.

And it seems like everyone else...

-That's why I want to talk to you.

-What is the argument for talking him out?

-He is the stronger competitor, and I just saying to myself

That we are still have x who can take out christian.

That's what I think. -That's what I'm trying to tell you.

As long as he's here, any one of us could sit next to him.

His a*s will probably go home.

So, that's why I'm like,

Why would we take his a*s out this week

And keep s.b. Who,

If any of us next to s.b., Is a... Toss-up.

-With that being said,

I would really want s.b. To go home.

Okay. Now what do we do?

-You and claire,

Me and alyssa.

-Britini? -Britini.

-I'm down. Let's do it.

I had just accepted

That christian has to go home this week.

With xavier and alyssa on board,

I would only need two more votes.

-Time to flip the house. -So, I really think

We can make this happen.

-Tiff, I'm struggling, too.

-Okay, good. Sit.

Now, you know we don't know

What to do about keeping christian.

But we both feel like it's beneficial

To us if he stays. -Yes.

-If we vote for him to go, I know that you and I

Are at the bottom of that other side.

If christian stays, it's really better for everybody

Because they're still coming for each other.

It's better for everyone other than d.x.

-These are my thoughts.

It's...

I mean, the issue is I don't trust ky.

I don't trust s.b.

The people that we have worked with for the longest--

-We don't trust. -We don't trust.

-Are we flipping?

-I think we flip. -I think so, too.



-Who are you looking for?

-Yeah. Go find britini.

-I can't go downstairs. -Why not?

-Because I am in the h.o.h. Room

Having a very important conversation with claire.

-Go find britini and send her up to the h.o.h. Room.

-Now that claire is on board with this flip,

I want to ensure that we have that fifth vote.

I really think that I can convince britini,

Then we're good to go.

-Are you needed immediately.

-Okay.

-May I ask who's asking to speak to her?

-Tiffany. -Oh.

For what reason? Just wondering.

-I don't know. I'm not in the conversation.

-Okay, come on. Let's go.

-No, it's just her. -No, we can go.

-We'll all go talk. -Yeah. We can go.

-I want to get in trouble. -No, you aren't in trouble.

-You're not in trouble. -You're good.

-I don't like when

Someone tries to manipulate someone.

And britini's been a pawn for three weeks, and you're

Coming in here barking orders?

That's not going to work for me.

You rang? -No.

I just want to talk to britini. -Are you just talking to her

Or is it you and claire?

-I want to talk to her. -Okay.

-She wants us here.

So we can have a talk. -I'll wait.

Because, I mean,

If we're all on the same page we should all

Be able to talk freely, right? -It's okay.

No worries.

-I mean... -I'll talk to you later.

-Coward.

-I don't like that. -That's so annoying.

-Who did I say I was looking for?

-Britini. -All I wanted to talk to was britini.

Big d and azah come in like body guards.

Like, "okay, what's up? I mean...

"If we all on the same page,

We should all be able to talk, right?"

If we the cookout, and I'm trying to talk to britini,

Why you all got to come in

Like y'all her body guards against me?

-Mm-hmm.

-I'm pissed.

-To stay together as a six.

-Yes. I don't understand. -For the culture.

And they're yelling at each other.

-Chen: up next, the houseguests

Cast their votes to evict either christian or sarah beth.

Who is going home?

Stay with us.





-Chen: welcome back to big brother.

Over the past hours,

The houseguests have been flipping back and forth

Between christian and sarah beth.

It's now time to find out where they landed.

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

Hello, houseguests.

-Hi, julie.

-Chen: well, everyone, it's time

For the live vote and eviction.

Christian, sarah beth, 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.

And christian, you're up first.

-All right. First off,

I want to start by thanking my friends, my family

And everyone who got me to this point right now.

I also want to say that

I'm in the position I'm in right now

Because I played the game I said I wanted to play.

Extremely loyal and competitive game, and I'm very proud of it.

If I were to stay,

I'd continue playing a loyal game to everyone

That's loyal to me.

However, I know this is a game, and nothing

Will be taken personal, so you guys do

What you have to do. And, overall, I'm looking

Forward to being all your friends after this.

Thank you. -Chen: thank you, christian.

Sarah beth, you're up.

-Shout out to my friends and family.

I love and miss you guys. This has been a hard week for me.

I'm covered in bruises and on the block

Next to my former teammate and a phenomenal person.

It stinks, but I love this game, and want to it be here.

Houseguests, I've talked to each of you,

I hope you agree it'd help you to keep me in the game.

It's also the last week before jury.

This vote you make could be the difference

Between you winning or losing $,.

I promise if I was on the jury I would

Make an objective vote and vote for the best person because

We are an amazing cast and we deserve an amazing winner.

But no matter what, I love and respect each one of you.

And, um, that's all. Thank you.

-Chen: how do you know

I don't have a twist up my sleeve about jury?

-That's true.

Don't say that. -Chen: just say--

We've got to move on but thank you both.

All right, everyone, it's now time for the live

Voting to begin. Derek x.,

As current head of household, you're not allowed to vote.

And, as always, either are the two nominees.

One at a time the rest of you will enter the diary room

And cast your vote to evict.

Hannah, you're up first. Please go to the diary room.

Hannah and derek x. Are tight.

Will she do this bidding and send christian packing?

Hi, hannah. -Hi, julie.

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I vote to evict christian.

I love you mom, dad, simone and granny.

-Chen: thank you. -Thanks, julie.

-Chen: kyland and sarah beth

Have been tied at the hip for most of the game.

He is certain to keep his ally safe.

Hello, kyland.

-Hey, julie. Scaring us out there, but looking

Phenomenal as always. -Chen: oh, thank you.

And looking handsome even in that costume yourself.

-Thank you. I try.

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I sadly vote to evict the super competitor christian.

-Chen: thank you. -Thank you.

Scott, austin, savannah, christine, love you all.

-Chen: xavier knows keeping christian

In the game is best for him.

But is it best for the cookout?

Hello, xavier. -What's going on, julie?

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I vote to evict sarah beth.

-Chen: thank you. -Thank you, julie.

-Chen: alyssa has been campaigning

All week to keep her boyfriend christian safe.

Did she do enough?

Hi, alyssa. -Hi, julie.

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I vote to evict sarah beth.

-Chen: thank you. -Thank you.

-Chen: currently the vote is two votes

To evict christian, two votes to evict sarah beth.

The remaining five votes when we return.

Then I'll tell you how you at home

Will be part of the next big twist this summer.

Stay with us.





-Chen: welcome back to big brother.

The houseguests are currently voting to evict

Either christian or sarah beth.

And with two votes each, it's currently a tie.

Let's continue with the live voting.

Britini likes christian

And would love to keep him,

But knows it may not be the best strategic move.

Hi, britini. -What's up, julie?

-Chen: loving the lashes. -Thank you so much.

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I sadly vote to evict the incredible christian.

-Chen: thank you. -Mom, dad, nana, love you all!

-Chen: derek f. Told christian

He's got his back.

But does he really?

Hello, derek. -Yo, yo, yo, julie.

What's up, baby?

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I sadly vote to evict christian.

-Chen: thank you.

-What's up, philly? Adam, laura, sierra

Mom, I love you guys.

-Chen: tiffany mounted a huge effort

To keep christian in the game.

Will she follow through with her vote?

Hello, tiffany. -Hi, julie.

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I sadly vote to evict christian.

-Chen: thank you. -Thank you.

I love you, christian. Happy birthday, john.

And christian, tell your dad I love him.

Love you, mama pat, sherry and everybody.

-Chen: it's official.

With five votes to evict christian,

Christian will leave the house tonight.

But let's see how the other votes fall.

Hello, claire. -What's cracking, julie?

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I vote to evict christian.

-Chen: thank you. -Thank you, julie.

-Chen: azah has kept her vote

Under wraps.

Who does she think is best

To keep in the house?

Hello, azah. -Hi, julie.

-Chen: please cast your vote to evict.

-I vote to evict christian. -Chen: thank you.

-Thank you. Love you, mom and dad.

-Chen: 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 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 -,

Christian, you are evicted

From the big brother house.

-Sorry.

-Just a game.

-Sorry, buddy. -Did a good job.

Rushing through pretty quick.

I'll be back. I'll be back.

-Oh, christian. -Goodbye.

-I love you, beautiful man.

-Bye.

My boy. -Buddy.

-Oh!

-[Screaming]

-See you, guys.

-It's not a brother-sister thing.

-Oh, my god.

-[Screaming]

-Chen: air hug. -Air hug.

We have to stay safe. -Hello.

-Chen: hello, christian. Wow.

I think I have to start with my alyssa questions.

That was quite a kiss.

-It was a goodbye so... -A good--

-A temporary goodbye. -A temporary goodbye kiss.

-Julie: so what happens after the show?

-I discussed it with her. I don't know where we stand

At the moment, but she says I'm her girly girl.

That's what she just called it. -Chen: okay.

-I'm her girly girl. -Chen: do you want it to continue?

-Yes. I want something after this, for sure.

But two months of not seeing her, potentially,

Would be a long time,

So we're going to wait until after.

-Chen: let's get to the game, shall we?

I have to hand it to you.

You really fought hard to stay in the house.

-That was three days. Three days straight.

-Chen: yeah, I mean, nonstop.

So you get an a plus for effort. But, ultimately, why do you

Think you couldn't turn the tide to your favor?

-I was-- I had the numbers against me.

People in this house like to pull out numbers.

With % winning streak

With all the comps, once I was up there,

It didn't matter who I was sitting next to.

They figured this was the time to take a shot at me because

They didn't know if they could get another opportunity

Down the line so... I didn't stand a chance.

-Chen: let me shed some light

On some other areas you might not be aware of.

Because you were in the royal flush

With, amongst others, the current head of household,

Derek x. -Uh-huh.

-Chen: and he told you that

If the veto was used, he that was not going

To put up as a replacement nominee. -Right.

-Chen: he lied. He did.

And here you sit.

-Exactly. -Chen: now, the moment

Derek won h.o.h.,

He was gunning for you because of that record

You just spoke of.

Do you respect his game move?

-I do because it's a shot I should've taken

Last week when I was h.o.h.

So I respect it in the sense

That he did what was best for his game,

Because I wanted to do that same shot for him.

But I think that it was not a smart decision

Because he's going to go out much sooner

Than if I stay around.

-Chen: we still have a lot

Of show to get to,

So I need to ask you your final thoughts.

-Uh, really,

I'm excited I had this opportunity.

And I really didn't come for the money.

I came to make some good friends and I did.

And I actually really came to play.

So I was most upset when I couldn't play in the wall comp

Because I wanted to compete. I'm happy I had the opportunity.

-Chen: you won five competitions, okay?

In days so you should go home very happy.

-Thank you. -Chen: after the broadcast,

We're going to bring you out.

I have more questions for you, your goodbye messages

And all that kind of stuff. -Okay. Cool.

-Chen: so don't go too far. -Awesome.

-Chen: stay there in the meantime.

To see my extended interview with christian

Go to paramount plus

Or big brother's official instagram page

@Bigbrothercbs tomorrow.

Up next, it's time to find out

How you at home will affect the next

Three weeks of this game.

Stay with us.





-Chen: welcome back to big brother.

It's time to reveal the next big twist of the summer.

Let's head to living room and fill everyone in on the news.

Hello again, houseguests. -Hi, julie.

-Chen: soon you'll compete in your next

Head of household competition.

But first, I do have an announcement to make.

Congratulations, all of you are

At least on the jury at this point.

Yes, yes, yes. That's right, everyone.

-[Cheering]

-Chen: beginning next week

The jury begins to form.

But the news does not end there.

It's time to unveil the next big twist of the game.

-Okay. -Oh, my gosh.

-Tell us, julie. -Chen: now I told you all

This would be a summer of high risk

And high reward.

So get ready because soon a new

Room will open up at the bb beach club.

The high rollers room.

-Oh.

Oh, my god.

-That's what I'm talking about, julie.

-Chen: I love the reaction. I haven't

Even told you what's going to happen in this room yet.

-No matter. -Chen: all right. Listen up.

Inside are three unique

Bb casino games. -We can't hear you.

-Chen: you cannot here me?

-We can hear you now. -Chen: all right.

Inside are three unique bb

Casino games and three game-changing powers.

How would you like to take yourself off the block?

-Yes. -Chen: or win a second veto?

Or even flip the ultimate power to your favor?

All you need is skill,

Luck and some bb bucks.

So how do you get these bb bucks?

Well, for the next three weeks

America will vote to give you

This special currency. -Oh, my god.

-Chen: each week

The top three houseguests

With the most votes will each get $.

The next three vote getters will earn $.

And everyone else will get $

In bb bucks.

Inside the high rollers room,

You can use those bb bucks

To play the bb casino games

And try to win different powers.

But there's a catch.

The better the power,

The more it costs to play.

The good news is

You don't have to spend your cash immediately

If you don't want to.

You can bank it for a bigger power

Down the line.

So, who's ready to gamble?

-Yeah! -Let's do it, julie.

-Chen: well, you're going to find out

More details about when the high rollers room opens.

And until then, good night, houseguests.

-Good night, julie.

-Chen: voting for the high rollers room

Will open immediately following this broadcast,

And we're changing things up this summer.

All you need is your phone.

And your vote is just a text away.

Here's how to reward your favorite houseguests.

-Announcer: it's time for america's vote.

The houseguests will soon enter the high rollers room

Where the jackpots could make or break a player's game.

-Oh, my god.

-Announcer: but if the houseguest wants

A chance to play for a game-changing power

Inside the high rollers room,

They'll need a bank roll of bb bucks.

The more bb bucks the player has,

The more opportunities they'll have to win powers.

That's where you come in, america.

You get to vote for the houseguests
