Post by bunniefuu »

previously on Big Brother head of household Shima rallied her

allies against her archrival Russell Russell is an expletive because he is a

tyrant in this house and he's gotta go it's that simple but no one knew that

Jeff had the coup d'etat the power to overthrow shima's nominations thank you

so much America I love it and the house was buzzing about who had it somebody

has it and it's not Lydia more than likely Russell is up to something poor

he has a mystery power yeah

good job Jima made it known she wouldn't be happy if it was you

Jeff wants to see me wild animal style here if he uses that he knows it's gonna

be drama but Jeff decided to do what was best for him if the holder of the

mystery power would like to use it please stand now foreign

with the power in his hands he targeted his two biggest threats in the game Jesse and Natalie I got the power and

you guys got to feel the pain a little bit and when the votes were revealed Jesse and Natalie were torn apart by a

vote of three two Jesse you are evicted from the Big Brother house

at the head of household competition the shift in power continued

Michelle correct congratulations you are the new head of household who will

Michelle nominate for eviction and tonight Jesse's eviction causes his

allies to crumble and you know he would pray for all of us

all the time it all happens now on Big Brother welcome to the party

[Music]

foreign [Music]

[Music] ER of the mystery power would like to

use it please stand now oh

snap I knew it when Jeff stood up I was in complete

shock completely fooled thank you America you put it in the right person's

hands now Jeff would you like to take Lydia off the block

I would like to take Lydia off the block come on off Lydia who would you like to put in her place

Natalie next question Jeff would you like to take Russell off the block

[Music] I would Russell come on off are you

kidding me I was speechless it was a just a shock and relief it was just an amazing feeling and it was Indescribable

I was dead in the water and I'm back who would you like to put up in his

place sorry buddy [Music] there it is

Jesse you are now on The Chopping Block alongside Natalie

pissed I am livid I'm sitting there and I'm looking prim and proper and

containing myself but what I really wanted to do was Ring his neck and Shout

Out Loud this is some Jeff you can sit down now time for the voting to begin

my thought process going into this was I want to use this gift that America gave me getting Jesse out was my number one

goal and his little sidekick Natalie his lap dog was the only person to put up against him that I could get Jesse out

of here we knew you had it we didn't know you'd be stupid enough to use it you said one

thing with this game you would leave is you would leave with your loyalty that is what you said why are you too mad because you two are in the power of the

house and I decided to use it to take the power down here right now you're being power hungry you're not thinking about your game keeping Russell in the

game is not a good idea why not he's going to take you out yeah okay great you guys are all together so obviously

you're just loyal it's fine disloyal made a deal with the devil Jeff I didn't

make a deal with anybody I used the power to advance myself in the game that we're playing it was a good move it is I

would have been out man you two are in codes you three are good so it would have been six and seven out

yeah you just took the Target off Russell's back and put it squarely on yours that's what you're saying no no

that's exactly what's gonna happen you don't know that you have no idea kiss my a*s yes I was going out six I talked to

everybody it was too little too late for them to you don't control anything Shima just so you know

you just see my power you two were my only choice uh you guys came to me too late and I would have been out six

instead of now I got a chance at 500 000 again because you guys were walking to the finals unless somebody did something

nobody was putting you guys up nobody yeah well if you weren't playing the game you would look at it and say it's a

good move it's fine I can play again I can win again

and there's no power next week

buy a vote of three to two Jesse you are evicted from the Big

Brother house Jesse's a great guy he's been nothing

but decent and really great to me I mean he is like a great great great guy and

it just sucks because the ugly and the bad get rewarded in this game and the good just seemed to go

down and burning flames even when they do everything right it just it's it's just

not right it really isn't [Music] it it definitely hurts steam leave

and to leave unexpectedly it's kind of like a family member dying

and that just pisses me off that Russell gets to stay in this game when he's been

nothing but it nothing but it was alive cheated backstabbed is so not fair all

right that's all right buddy Jesse dissed me as he was being evicted he is exactly what America thinks he is

he is the self-involved egomaniac megalomaniac I personally was happy to

see Jesse go [Music]

[Music] he said it was gonna happen

you wouldn't listen to him America did it to him again when Jesse was evicted I

like couldn't even stand up I didn't want to like give him a hug goodbye because it just means that that's real

Jesse didn't get in my head he got my heart so if that makes me a weak player I'll be a

weak player why you guys so angry because you guys lost some power why shut the [ __ ] up

we're playing a game Shima Jeff you said if I go home in this game one thing I will go home with is my loyalty I you're

right I am I still have it you told me you were gonna vote Russell out so I that was a deal okay how about this I

didn't vote so I didn't lie to you either yeah no but you did lie because you did not send Russell home and that was the plan I didn't vote so how did I

like hey you can semantics if you want you get semantics if you want I didn't vote so how did I lie you could be mad

that you lost the power keep talking to yourself because I'm not listening that's fine I don't really want to talk

to you either [Music] this competition was both complex and

simple if you had the nerve to pop a pimple Michelle correct congratulations you are

the new head of household she might hand over that key to the HOH bedroom to

Michelle [Music] congratulations I won HOH I've been waiting for this

moment since I entered the Big Brother house I was worried that you know I'm never gonna win HOH so now I'm the HOH

Queen [Music] oh Michelle one HOH and I was happy and

I was a little distraught at the same time because I thought I had Russell I thought I had him out of the door I

truly and honestly did maybe Michelle will come through for us I don't know

I'm nervous as help because Michelle is somebody I have had verbal arguments with in the past I do need to start

making steps with her out of all the people in the house with Michelle winning it is the most biggest

question mark possible as far as what the HOH is gonna do who knows what's going on in Michelle's head

me and Michelle don't have an official agreement in here I think is the pinky swear but we have a mutual respect for

each other which I think will carry me through this week and that's all I can ask for

I really thought I was leaving [Music]

fold [Music] that was the best move of the game

I'll tell you that much Jeff decided to use his mystery power the coup d'etat it

really showed that he was willing to make bold moves in this game to get ahead and protect his allies so Kudos

Jeff you could say what you want to do in life and talk and talk and talk unless you change you've got it it will

never change and Jesse was walking straight to the finals four so I opened the door up for everybody in the house

even though they don't want to see it right now [Music]

nobody else was touching that money in this whole house just so before everyone starts throwing their stones and bashing

me for no reason she's going to come out you know just I don't care to deal with all week long they're

having a pity party because they don't have the numbers they're pissed at me why are you pissed at me for because now you don't run the whole house it's even

you felt when every single one of our people left and we sat outside and nobody talked to us now you take a

chance in the corner [Music]

Michelle's gonna put me out I know no they're all it's them four they're all

together oh the people that were calling her crazy are up in their ear right now you're absolutely nuts I'm not that's

Russell you're crazy you need medicine he really thinks she's gonna be okay

with Russell again yeah I think so after all of that

I believe in karma there's other there's HOH next week There's HOH the week after that and you

you do know if I win again Russell is going up again and again and again until I get him out

Michelle make sure you don't come across like you're telling me what to do the house would be better off without

wrestleman foreign [Music]

who wants to see my HOH room okay [Music]

oh my gosh look at the blue hair picture you look cute in that picture you look so cute I like your babies

Michelle has two children no that's my nephew you're so cute blonde is that the

boys where is he that's him and that's my father-in-law and my brother-in-law Michelle your husband

's song he is cute there's a rat here oh yes he brought my rat

doesn't this route look real though it's funny to see how the other half of the house is trying to be Michelle's

best friend and all of a sudden everyone in the house loves rats because Michelle loves rats they don't care they're just

trying to kiss a*s let her [Music]

this is long Michelle I'm so proud of you if you're

reading this then it means you've kicked a*s in your competition earlier in one HOH it's just impossible for me to tell

you how much you mean to me and how much I miss you right now my husband wrote a really thoughtful and amazing letter we

have an amazing marriage and I just love him so much I know you've got a lot to

think about in that house but hopefully when things get really intense you'll take comfort in knowing that no matter

what happens if someone devoted to you who would do anything to make you smile keep kicking a*s and having fun anyways

I should go or else I won't stop riding love you Tim I miss him a lot and he just reminded me

why I'm in this game and I know that he's at home supporting me and cheering

me on that was a great letter oh my goodness [Music]

I just thought she was gonna say anything she can't put me and you up we're like

I'll give you my word on this if by some odd chance me and you are both up there and uh and we are playing for the POV

hit if I win it and I'll give you my word right now I'll give it to you

[Music] dude I don't think we're gonna be up man I I really don't I'm just telling you

right now if something crazy is to happen both of us go up and I win the POV I will hand it to you even though

I'll still be on the Block and I'll probably go home it's just about keeping your word and you did to me so it's kind

of like I'll keep going back and forth with you as long as you keep doing it with me okay I think we're just getting paranoid

and for not what am I supposed to do man that was my last play I don't even want to talk negative like

that but if she wants to get me she got me Michelle is a little bit of a wild card I don't know where she stands I

mean she's really hard to read I'm unsure what's going to happen but it's kind of a 50 50 crap sh**t at this point

I'm just rolling the dice and I'm thinking man I hope it doesn't come up snake eyes

[Music]

sh**t away at the questions I know you have a time I did fight with Michelle you know on several occasions

in the past and I want to try and start over with her I mean I feel that if I can get in good with Michelle you know

Jeff Jordan myself and Michelle can definitely

um flip the tides my major problems with you last week were that again you told

my secrets like that was something I didn't really appreciate um second problem I had was

you acted and it's sort of an aggressive manner when you were getting stories from different people like

instead of talking to me in like normal fashion it was sort of just a lot of reading yeah absolutely right and um I'm

not going to say that I didn't come out either way yeah but it's also hard because you're sitting up here and you

don't know who's telling you the truth from every angle I I think I would have appreciated it

you know if you had just come up to me at some point and just deposited a little bit early yeah and

um I'll tell you this right out to your face I'm sorry for my actions but I'll tell you this it would have definitely been squashed a lot sooner if no I know

we we had some communication problems and part of it was my fault and I was after two weeks of being

ran around the house and no one talks to you this house has made us crazy let's hug

it out man although me and Russell have patched things up he's a little sneaky

snake and I'm just gonna have to keep my eyes open and always be watching him

I'm so excited we're just gonna be eating Chinese all night

this is orange chicken I want some Merlot it's a Jesse's

they pulled out Jesse's wine bottle

because it's for Jesse it's funny how like when they can evict one of our friends it's okay

but that's why I want what's her name out of here I can't stand her loud mouth I do care if I eat out here it's not

gonna bother you no man the myth the legend Jesse we only

got a taste of you but you are Mr spectacular yes Cheers Cheers Jesse

no we all have to take a drink okay no they're making a toast in there

to him dude the guy alive relax he's dead I know dude relax we're playing a

game definitely wrestling the final two would be the worst thing ever

I would rather see you Jordan or herwin rather than any single one of them

they'd be sickening I'd have a sick feeling the rest of my life he had such a good spirit and such a

good present Soul you just act like he's the saint

dude I don't understand it I know certain people didn't see that but yeah I saw it I saw it too

thinking about Jesse like gone I just it just makes me want to cry because I

know I'm gonna I'm gonna wake up in the morning and I'm gonna see Shima and I'm gonna see Natalie and Kevin and I don't

get to see Jessie he didn't even get a chance to try to stay that's what like kills me did I know

I had so much fun with him too he was so much fun even when he was kicking my a*s

this is so wrong oh m g these girls are acting as if

Jesse just got hit by a Mack truck and had been k*lled I mean he got evicted

from Big Brother he was so grateful for being here too [Music]

and that's the thing he never said anything bad about anybody in this game this is ridiculous please girls the guy

was an idiot Shima do you not remember that Jesse nominated you Lydia do you not remember that Jesse voted to evict

you from this game and Natalie did you just not see Jesse get upset at me for keeping you in this game why are you

crying over him good to me

and do you know he like prayed for all of us all the time

remember he wanted to put me up first week remember that

they did but you know what I mean he wanted me out

yeah that's nervous no he didn't the person that kept me here the person that

never spoke ill of anybody in this house is gone and it's for everybody

and the person who talked about everybody in this house is still here

[Music] what Jordan has never done anything to

me but what she has done is she doesn't stand up for what's right Sheamus crying lady is crying I love

it maybe they'll all just go home we can all go to the final four yeah huh anyone do they think that we don't have

feelings you know I know no yeah I wasn't sad when everyone else went home yeah what about our friends that went

home safe

thanks America [Music] stand up people

[Music]

I'm so excited you got it Michelle you deserve it too you jumped up and I

go yes you have an idea Shima

chimney's girl yeah yes I really want to put that in your head but yeah dude

I don't even happier Michelle says she wants Shima out which

is great with me she really makes every good moment in this house a bad one you know she brings just a rain cloud over

everything she does and I'm getting tired of it oh she's the biggest threat wow the only thing to think about is to

who to put up as a pawn go Michelle dude you want to do a

backflip into that hot tub dude that just meant but it feels like like B on the other side

yeah wow this house is shook

[Music] gather round everyone it's time for the

half have not competition yeah

let's see what big brother has cooked up this week for the have have not competition

pair up and head to the backyard

there's eight people left in the house so the teams broke down into four teams of two so it was me and Jordan

Michelle and Russell on the other side you had miserable team number one with Natalie and Shima and then a half

miserable team was Lydia and Kevin [Music]

wow yay

what is this we're fighting for him I see two huge

slides into these giant goopy casserole fools and various casserole dishes

screwing about the yard and instantly I know oh my God we're going to have to taste these and do some sort of eating

nastiness wait what oh in this have have not competition we

will all be working together to earn food and privileges for the week

lately the Big Brother house has seen its share of chaos so big brother has

whipped up some special casseroles or should I say chaosa rolls for all of us

to enjoy on go you and your partner will cruise down the chaotic slide into our goopy

oversized casserole somewhere on the table are two casseroles that have the same

ingredients that match a podium in the yard each Podium represents a day of the week

or a luxury [Music] in order to earn food for a specific day

or when one of the luxuries simply find and correctly place a pair

of casseroles on its corresponding podium when you think you've got it ring The

Dinner Bell so the next set of house guests can go so who's ready to get casserole

thank you for once we are all working together as

a group to make sure that we could all eat every single day of the week

[Applause]

we had to slide down the slides into this nasty goop and it was just sticky

and it was gross it's almost as nasty as shima's bad

attitude good taste some of these casseroles are just nasty

but we just need to find two casseroles that match beef even what

try a little bit of everything let them try I'm just joking around you can't joke around try I mean get out of here

there's two cream cheese and sauerkraut do you want no call Towers which one's that one these two eight and

six are no cold showers [Music] yeah yeah God

all right what's up I'm sorry my hand's going in here Jordan these are four hands are dirty

oh you're so delivered [Music]

something salty one of the casseroles that I first tried was something salty

and fishy this tastes like tuna this is not even up there oh I think this one's

liver look for chocolate cool I got that liver one oh my God oh my God oh my God

[Applause] [Music] this is tomato right here this is Port

Kevin when Lydia competes she gets Barky and more like

um Butchy pork and pumpkin Kevin let's just go it's totally different flavor

[Music] hurry

up go go go go go hurry this is chocolate right here bananas and chocolate

[Music] Shima and Natalie uh sucked they would walk down very gingerly Shima would

prance around and complain Natalie would just take her time [Music]

all right let's hurry

hey this one's an artichoke this one's already show [Music]

ring the bell let's go

don't look at me you're not good enough don't look at me don't talk to me either

you can put it on there

beat okay that's beef let's just go

so there's 10 podiums and there's only two left to fill

it's this one there it is all right nice good good good start or put those ones

up and then check the rest let Lydia put them up this is [Applause] what

it counts three two one that was hard

so at the end of the 10 minutes we had to see whether all the casseroles contain the right ingredients for that

day of the week or that luxury Prize Big Brother did we match the correct casseroles for Monday

uh hmm unfortunately we do not win food for

Monday when uh when they revealed the first one that we got it wrong I was really

nervous that we were going to be on slap the whole week did we win food for Tuesday yay

Wednesday yes yeah did we win food for Thursday

yeah Friday yay

Saturday yay that was me Sunday

yay big brother are you gonna hook us up with the barbecue grill

do we get to have hot showers for the week so cold showers for us

big brother did we win a steak and lobster dinner [Music]

um well congrats house guests we get to have no cold showers we want a barbecue

grill and we get to eat every day but Monday good everyone good job

I was shocked that we did so I thought we would want to get one or two casseroles but we got almost all of them

so good for us we did pretty good [Music]

you love your blankie if my house was burning down I can only grab one thing blanket I found it since I was what

about your unicorn Mr Puppy what's his name day yum yum day yum yum

d-a-e-y-u-m-y-u-m he's named after a friend is that like a cartoon or something no I

just came up with it oh you made it up yeah I made it up oh that's good I made it up they yummy yum

so this is day yum yum he's two years old now he's a boy unicorn I keep to Yum

Yum with me wherever I go because he reminds me of home and my friends and

who wouldn't want to keep a little baby unicorn by them because he's so yummy and cute you hear that damn yum Lydia

needs to win something can I see yum yum you promise you're not gonna do anything

cruel why would I want to do that don't get me wrong America I love unicorns and

rainbows but Lydia is Uber obsessed with her yum yum unicorn the attachment with

it um it's kind of cute but not that cute [Music]

[Music] it's okay

[Music]

do you like Jeff I do like hold on do you like Jeff's

boyfriend if you lived in Charlotte Maybe

why are you looking at me like that hey Jeff she said she would date if you lived in Charlotte yeah yep he said if

you lived in Charlotte I said it depends on the circumstances

that I might consider what if I wasn't ready I'm 22 years old he's 31 he

probably knows what he wants I'm still going through that whole thing I don't know what I want who knows if I would

want a boyfriend Jordan you want to get married

yeah Jeff we're engaged well I went for it I proposed to Jordan

were engaged now Jordan be a great wife she seems very down to earth very country and homey I'm happy Jordan said

yes to my uh romantic proposal it makes me feel good you better buy me a cute ring

one of us better win this competition

put a lot of to it I'm Gonna Get You Diamond Grill now I want a square cut diamond

you'll be happy with what I get you believe I'm engaged

so where's your head at yeah she was straight with me because I would do the same with you this has

gotten to a point where I have a lot of friends in this house and it just sucks because you run out of people you want

to see leave unfortunately choosing between four people to put up so

you think by any way Russell's on your side he's not the things Russell said to you

cannot ever be forgiven or just outweighed her what Russell did yes he's done things in public he's shouted he

screamed but there's many guilty parties in this house no one's clean and I am gonna do what I need to do

the only thing that would make you all happy as a bicep muscle home I

don't think you would make an enemy in this house if Russell went home there is pretty much just three people I

was thinking about putting in the chairs one person in particular I want to send home

the other two people as pawns so fair enough do what you gotta do no stay

strong Natalie it's not gonna be a fun week

okay hello

I'm not gonna BSU you're not gonna like my nominations

really yeah I'm not and it's so not Russell

you know your HOH you do what you want don't think that just because he's not attacking you right now it's not going

to start up again I know ultimately this game is about self-preservation and by keeping Russell

in this house you will go home he's shown time and time again his remorse means nothing it's not real

you've been forewarned you don't put him up he's coming after you you don't put him up he's in Jessie or about you he's

going to start right back up just know that and he may be your end game if you don't put him up

I'm very aware of that facts as well being HOH is just a really tough job you

get so much information you can't really sift through and figure out what's real um and you also get swayed by some of

the actual valid points with each second in each word I feel like oh no am I making the right

decision but I've said my pace I'll leave you alone I know you have a lot to think about or you already made up your

mind whatever either way bye honey congratulations

[Music] you want to make an impact in the Big

Brother house now's your chance it's time for America's vote after the next Have and Have Not

one of my duties as head of household is to nominate two people for eviction

Michelle is a hard cookie to crack I can't get in her head if she doesn't put Russell on the Block I'm gonna question

her ability to reason foreign sticks to a promise and puts up Shima

this will be great for the house because the Shima pet will be on the Block

I haven't had to fight at all in this game but now um I'm definitely not safe I'm at the

very bottom so um this will be my biggest fight this game thus far

my nominations this week are going to be purely strategic not personal I have to

remember who would take me to the end who would take me to the final four who would take me to the final two

foreign

it's time for the nomination ceremony

[Music]

this is the nomination ceremony I just want to say that we have spent a

lot of time in this house together and we've all made mistakes in this game we've all made lies we've all said bad

things about each other you know this is just a game and please don't take anything personally

so let's begin [Music]

Jordan you received [Music]

Jeff you were safe thank you Michelle

[Music] Russell you're safe homie thank you

Michelle

Kevin you are safe thank you Michelle

[Music]

Lydia you are safe

I have nominated you Shima and you Natalie for eviction this week

Shima you are one of the fiercest competitors in the house you're a fighter and I respect you as a very very

strong woman and if you're here I definitely see you staying in the house

and making it to the final two and unfortunately I would like to be in the final two and I don't see you taking me

Natalie I'm sorry but someone had to be in the other slot so

here we are this nomination ceremony is adjourned

now that I lost Jesse my back is against the wall I definitely am going to have to show the house I am a force to be

reckoned with and you better watch out because I'm going to come g*ns blazing Shima is the smartest person in the

house besides me and the makes her a huge threat and it's really her time to

go this week how great is this Shiva is going from the highest of highs to the lowest of

lows karma's a [ __ ] hey all comes back around

I don't care if I'm nominated this game is I'm my friends are so as far as I'm

concerned I don't care what will happen now that Shema and Natalie are on the chopping block tune in Tuesday at 9 8

central to Big Brother when one house gets self-destructs and is removed from

the game

[Music]
