- Previously on "Big Brother"...

With the BB multiverse in play,

Cory got dragged

into the Scary-verse's Nether Region...

[laughter] - Oh!

- And he returned

with an ominous warning.

- "Cory was pulled into the Nether Region.

"Luckily for him, it was only for a short time.

Unfortunately, next week, one of you won't be so lucky."

- Oh.

- Upstairs, Head of Household Reilly

formed a five-person alliance with Jag,

Blue, Cameron, and Matt...

- The Handful. - Handful.

- Perfect.

all: [quietly] Ahh!

- While downstairs, Felicia, Cirie, Bowie,

Mecole, and Izzy were solidifying their own squad.

- We're the Bye-Bye b*tches.

- [laughs] - Oh!

- Wanting to expand their ranks,

the Handful recruited Cory, America, and Jared.

- Yeah.

- But Jared played double agent

and filled his mom in.

- Named a eight-person alliance without you.

- We knew the split already.

We knew this. - Mm.

- So the Bye-Bye b*tches went on to grow their numbers

by adding Red and Hisam.

- If y'all are down, the seven is the Professors,

and we taking the kids to school.

[school bell ringing]

- After Izzy called out Reilly...

- Like, maybe cut the bull[...].

We all know what--what's up.

We're working with other people.

- Right, right.

- It was crystal clear

that a split house w*r was brewing.

- I'm telling you, if Izzy wins next week,

one of our alliance members is going home.

it was time for the live eviction,

Houseguests?

the most terrifying domain in the Scary-verse

and home to me, the Nether Gorgon.

It is within my terrifying playground where one of you

will become Head of Household,

while another will be left behind

in the Nether Region.

- Oh, wow.

- Kirsten has just been eliminated.

The house is clearly divided,

and now the Professors is Felicia, Hisam, Izzy,

Meme, Red, myself, and Bowie.

We have to win this week

to maintain control of the house.

- House is starting to divide.

One side of the house includes me

Jared, Cameron, Matt, Jag,

Reilly, Blue, and...

And Cory.

This is really important.

I want to make sure that I win

or that somebody in my alliance wins

so we can have control of the house again.

- Reilly, as outgoing HOH,

So you can either escape through the portal now

or be stuck in the Nether Region

for eternity.

- Since I'm the outgoing Head of Household,

the Nether Gorgon tells me

I am ineligible to compete in the competition,

so I'm getting the hell out of here.

Now I really have to put all of my trust

in this eight-person alliance we've created.

[whooshing]

♪

- Here's how my game works.

In each round, I will be attacking

different areas within the Nether Region.

I may attack the shed, the garage,

the two porches, the fountain, or the car.

But before I attack, I will give you clues

to which areas are safe to hide.

- This is insane.

The Nether Gorgon is gonna give us clues

on where it's safe to hide,

then attack the areas that aren't safe,

and you do not want to be there.

race to find one of the safe areas

and claim a spot.

But be quick.

There are only limited spaces to hide in each area.

- This is terrifying.

There are only a limited number of spots in each area,

and if they fill up, that means that

we need to go run and find a new area to hide in.

I am freaking out right now.

- Once everyone is hidden,

I'll emerge from the depths of the Nether Region

and make my attack.

If I attack your area,

you are eliminated from my game,

ending your hopes of becoming Head of Household.

When there are only two players left,

the winner will become HOH,

and the loser will be left behind with me

in the Nether Region

until I crave a new soul.

- Yay. - Yay.

- Oh... - Yay?

- The last thing that needs to happen right now

is Daddy get trapped in the Nether Region,

'cause I don't know what's down there,

who's down there, or what kind of powers it has.

- Oh, my God.

- I want to win HOH so bad.

But I'm shaking. I'm scared.

We're in the Nether Region.

No one knows anything about this place.

I want to get out, but I have to win HOH.

- I love horror movies.

Like, Halloween is my favorite, favorite holiday.

Seeing all of the creepy dolls--

there's spiders, there's rats and crows.

This is my kind of competition.

If I can win, I cannot only secure my own safety,

but I can keep my side of the house

I'm going to the garage.

I know what's in there, and I have no idea

That's my plan.

there's a doll in the car with a backwards head.

This is my first time hiding at the car,

and Jag is not in danger with Hisam.

So it just didn't make sense to me

why he wouldn't guarantee my safety.

[ominous music]

♪

- I don't know why Jared made that move.

I'm already safe with Hisam.

I really trust Hisam's word,

and Reilly needs it way, way more.

At the same time, it's nice to know

that I'll be here another week.

[upbeat music]

- [sighs] Hisam.

- Yeah? - First of all,

congratulations. - Thank you.

- Yeah. - Thanks.

So here's the deal. - Right.

- The three that I'm targeting...

- Right.

- Matt, Reilly, Cameron.

♪

So the question is... [clears throat]

Do we put up Matt and Reilly?

- Mm-hmm.

- Second option is we put up

Cameron next to Reilly.

Reilly is my target this week.

She is definitely the one I want to see evicted.

But who do you put up next to her?

Is it Cameron or Matt?

On one hand, Cameron is a really strong competitor,

and Matt and Reilly are obviously close to each other.

I think that they're both strong options,

so the question is, is who to put up

to make sure that Reilly goes home.

- I think option number two is best,

because worst case scenario, Cameron goes home.

♪

- Yeah, I'm thrilled with Cameron being up.

So I think, like, it's like the exposing of Reilly.

- And Matt.

- And--and Matt. - Mm-hmm.

- And have it-- really good for us.

- Beneficial, exactly. - Right.

- Okay. - I agree.

- And then next week, we go after whoever remains.

- Right. - Yeah.

♪

- Firstly, man, you're handling this thing already with

amazing grace, so thank you... - Mm-hmm.

- For putting the house at ease.

So here's the thing.

We came here to play this game, right?

We came here to-- to--to build relationships

and move forward as far in this game as we can

and to soak up the experience

and love this thing.

I just don't know where to-- where to--what to talk about,

other than just like-- - Yeah.

Let me--let me--

let me sort of preface this, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- So I'm sort of moving this direction

of, like, who are my threats?

I am concerned that Reilly is mentioning my name.

I trust you, but there are, like, some people

that I'm working with... - Yeah.

- That are a little concerned.

- I don't blame 'em. - Right?

- I--I get it.

- And so what I'm saying to you is that

one of the things that I'm considering--

because I don't blindside people--

I'm considering putting you and Reilly next to each other.

- Oh, my God.

- You are not my target.

I want to work with you.

I trust you.

We have all of the numbers to basically decide

literally who walks out the door.

- Right.

Uh, [...].

Reilly is the target.

I'm gonna make sure that she stays the target.

I think the Handful is-- is going down very quickly.

- All right, brother, I respect you so much.

- I'm a fan. I get it. - Right?

I respect you so much. - Thank you so much, man.

- Yeah.

This is the nomination ceremony.

It is my responsibility as Head of Household

to nominate two houseguests for eviction.

Jag, because you are in the Nether Region right now,

you are ineligible to be nominated.

In my nomination block are the keys of the houseguests

I am nominating for eviction.

I will turn two keys to lock in my nominations,

The next houseguest I have nominated is...

I have nominated you, Reilly, and you, Cameron.

I am playing a straightforward, loyal game

of integrity with purpose.

I respect both of you,

but I will leave that between us.

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

♪

This week, I nominated Reilly and Cameron for eviction.

I nominated Reilly 'cause she told everyone

I was her target, and therefore,

she's my target.

The Professors are calling the shots this week,

sending the other side of the house to detention.

♪

- Damn, Riles.

My bad, girl.

I didn't choose to save Reilly.

It was really devastating for me to watch,

but sometimes you gotta do what's best for you

and the people you're trying to protect.

- Jared told me that I was not going to go up on the block,

but I'm nominated, and my heart sinks.

I've been through far worse in my life,

so I need to channel that inner warrior in myself

and go fight for my life in this game,

because there is no way I'm going out like this.

I will not allow it.

- I knew that it was a possibility

that he was gonna put me up beside Reilly.

I welcome the challenge.

He says, hey, let's compete,

and I am a competitor.

And I'm ready to go out there and get the POV.

I've held a little bit back over the course

of the past few competitions, but for this POV,

we gonna dance.

- Who will win the Power of Veto?

And will it be used

to save Reilly or Cameron from eviction?

Plus, which houseguest

will be sent to the Nether Region next,

and how will it change the game?
