01x55 - Episode 55

Post by bunniefuu »

We are constrained by two facts.

One of the three of us will be leaving on Wednesday, anyway.

And secondly, George has announced his intention--

though I don't know if it's current--

that he plans to leave on Wednesday, regardless.

[sighs]

I don't know what to do.

[rock music]

IAN [VOICEOVER]: While the houseguests consider

leaving the "Big Brother" house Wednesday night

and being replaced by alternates,

they received their next week-long challenge,

Juggling Contest.

%.

%.

%.

Let's [muted] the new guys.

[laughter]

They come in Wednesday night.

You have-- you have two hours.

You got two hours.

Do it.

The two women say .

I think .

Why do you say ?

It don't make no difference anyway.

This is by Friday, at noon.

We kind of think we're not here.

Oh, well then--

And on the off, off, off, off chance we become undone,

whatever.

[laughter]

Look, juggling is nothing.

All right.

I'll teach everybody how to juggle, OK?

It's not hard.

I can teach you with scarves, or with linen or whatever.

With the handkerchiefs we have from the--

There you go.

From the square dancing, or triangle dancing.

I don't really care, so--

Look how easy this is.

All right, do .

Let's do it.

- OK. - Ready?

You got this, bro.

And we're allowed to drop two ba*ls in a minute?

Or something like that? - Mhm.

Yeah, we're allowed to drop two.

As a group.

As a group, yeah.

We're going to wager %.

[dramatic music]

IAN [VOICEOVER]: The houseguests decide for sure

that they are all going to leave the "Big

Brother" house on Wednesday.

PRODUCER: So from what I understand,

you all kind of wanted to come into the red room

to tell us why you're leaving.

Is that right? - Yeah, correct.

That is correct.

PRODUCER: So I guess what I want to tell you,

is that you don't need to come to the red room.

It's actually not a soapbox for telling

us why you want to leave.

You obviously discussed it among yourselves.

What we're doing is you know, obviously

there are a lot of arrangements we have to make.

We started making them, actually.

Started getting in touch with family members.

So what we're going to do, is we'll let you

know tomorrow how we proceed.

And that's all I need to tell you.

Have a good night.

I know it's been a busy day and a lot going on.

For you, for us, but life moves on.

And we'll talk to you tomorrow.

Great, thanks, John.

- Cool dude. - Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Something don't seem right.

Hmm.

No, that seems fine.

I like it.

Yeah, it seems fine.

I like-- I like that he's got a good voice, yeah.

Think we're OK?

Yeah.

He's OK.

You got to remember, no matter what you're at,

the action is out there.

Or with anybody else, it's do you feel

good about the decision here? That's it.

- Right on. - Absolutely.

- That's it. - Got to have it.

- You OK? - Mhm.

Mhm.

[SINGING] Well, I mean, I don't like to think.

There's something calming about his voice, sure.

Huh.

Got us a dog. [sighs]

What do you think would happen if we

stayed and refused to nominate?

They'd say we weren't playing the rules of the game.

Because we live here under their terms.

- Yeah. - But what are you thinking--

We exit, even, on their terms.

I think that's probably--

What do you think they would do?

I don't know.

But then because it's battle.

Then they ask you to leave, or whatever.

We're not being uncooperative in the slightest

by asking you to leave, or by telling we're leaving.

It's in accordance with the rules.

Uh-huh.

We exited the game properly.

We won properly, for ourselves.

In terms of the game, we forfeit.

In terms of ourselves, we win.

- All right, that's fine. - Uh-huh.

Yeah.

OK.

[rock music]

[rock music]

It's amazing how in a matter of an hour,

the entire house has changed, just boom, like that.

You know, this morning.

And so strongly.

We all came to a decision that was really interesting.

You know, and I am--

I do want to make sure it's the right one.

And so yeah, I have a hard time with quitting, in terms of I

wouldn't want to quit a show.

If I feel it's really standing for something

and I have evidence to back that up, I'll do it.

Because money's not that important.

But everyone in this house really

has interest, in terms of you know,

working in-- in this business outside of it.

And that's a concern of mine.

Is you know, I don't really--

I guess I have a slight internal conflict,

in terms of quitting a show.

[dramatic music]

You know, if one person in this house

is even just slightly wavering, then I'm staying.

Then I'm going to do it.

Because it doesn't work if even just

one person is wavering.

Well, I think that--

yeah. I just think--

It should be thought about.

I think what should be thought about--

Oh, I tell you right now, I'm wavering.

I'm not going to lie. - Exactly

You guys know I was wavering from the beginning.

- Yeah, yeah, we know. - You know?

I'm wavering, without a doubt.

And come on, let's be realistic.

We knew that, yeah.

We know I'm the one who's going.

I will-- - We don't know that.

- We don't know that. - We can-- but wait a minute.

- That's crap. - Wait a minute.

Just listen to me.

In any event-- and that's fine.

I told you guys two hours ago, you need

to think about your decision.

You know, if we can sacrifice one person, feel comfortable,

then we're fine.

You know?

And I think it's great.

It's great if you stay.

I think it's wonderful.

But I don't feel comfortable sacrificing

one person at this point.

But it's-- I mean, it's going to happen.

People are going to keep being nominated and banished.

- It's-- it's-- - It's going to roll.

It's going to-- it's going to roll.

So it just-- yeah.

It's not-- you know?

Every week someone's going.

You know, you could-- you could look at any competition.

Like, you could look at a pageant.

Yeah, there's maybe girls, girls that go.

And you rely on judges.

And they pick one person.

You could say, well, that's not, you

know, fair for all these reasons and not participate.

But a lot of it is the experience.

Competition would be if we were all in here

and we had no say of who was leaving,

if America called in once a week and we didn't nominate anyone.

That's the difference between the competition and this.

Well, the solution to that is we nominate each other in a way

that all of us are up every single time.

We have to help.

We could nominate each other in a way

that everyone's up every single time.

- Yeah. - I mean--

And then let me ask you that, what's wrong with that?

Then it just leaves the public.

We still stay.

Right.

We-- we satisfy our fans. We're not competing each other.

But then what are we competing for again?

We're competing for-- for money, in a sense.

We're right back to the same thing again.

No.

Well, we're not really.

And based on likes and dislikes, and things like that.

It's a popularity thing.

Not-- not if-- yeah, it's a popularity contest, granted.

With the public.

But number one, if so be it, whatever, George still gets

paid.

Right.

We don't go against each other.

Right.

And we get the experience.

We still-- we still get to--

we still get to satisfy our fans.

We still get to fulfill our obligation.

And we still get to make our point,

that we stand together, by nominating everybody.

And everyone's just oh, let the cards fall where they fall.

You know, I don't know how many of you have read

it or seen it, " Angry Men?"

- Yes. - I've seen it.

That's one of my favorite things in the world.

And it's like, how everyone could be swayed.

One person can change us.

One person can change everything,

and the whole thing can turn around.

Yes.

As it now stands, I can give you my two points of view.

And they're real clear-cut and simple.

A benefit of staying, if we all stayed,

three people would benefit in here greatly.

It would change your lives.

It would change a--

you know, the well-being of the people around them.

Half the house would make out financially, yes.

Yes.

And the benefit of leaving, to me,

would be to show that society doesn't have to be about greed.

We don't-- everyone doesn't have to turn

on each other for money.

OK.

Can we still establish that point without leaving?

- We might be able to. - Yeah.

By-- by nominating each other, and just

making it a popularity contest?

- We may be able to. - Do you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

I know what you're saying.

What do you-- what do you think about--

because I have no problem being up for nomination every time,

you know what I mean?

Like, what if we all were, if we voted so that we

would all be up every time?

Yeah.

Real quick.

Yeah, go for it, Eddie.

I'd like to urge everybody to stop and think about today's

decision, today's events, what we've discussed,

what we've seen, what we're thinking, what we have thought,

everything from day to day , which is today.

And recollect anything and everything, positives

and negatives, as to why we should walk,

and possibly why we shouldn't walk.

Because a lot can happen between now and Wednesday.

But there's nothing more that I would like

to do than to please our family, please our friends,

please our fans, please ourselves and you know,

get the payoff, and let the cards fall where they fall.

So again, I'd just like to reiterate,

like, I'd urge everybody just quit

beating a dead horse tonight.

Suck down some suds if you want, ladies, or some cider,

chill out, and get some rest.

Because tomorrow's going to be a long [muted] day too,

I'll tell you that.

Between what they're throwing at us, between [muted] planes,

and [muted] coming over the wall, and music playing.

There's some goofy b*tches yelling at us.

Chickens bawking, vaquita-eating [muted]..

It's going to be a long day tomorrow.

Right.

We are constrained by two facts.

One of the three of us will be leaving on Wednesday anyway.

Mhm.

And secondly, George has announced his intention,

though I don't know if it's current, that he plans to leave

on Wednesday, regardless.

[sighing]

I don't know what to do.

What I want is we all have to agree as a group.

Mhm.

[stomach churns]

I guess that's what it's going to come down to.

[funk music]

If I walk out of here, I risk being humiliated.

I risk losing all the money.

But everything is sweetened by risk, if it pays off.

And if it's not?

Oh well.

In this game, as of yesterday, you

got to back yourself into the corner

and just watch all sides of you.

You know?

It kind of just pushed the envelope over the edge,

with George talking this morning.

Hey man, let's do it.

You know, let's just walk out of here together.

And just to be the first country to say nah, you know what?

We'll just walk off the b*ttlefield.

This is still-- don't forget, this

is in the wee hours of this-- of this whole-- this whole ordeal

here.

Who knows, man?

Maybe Wednesday morning half the house will decided

this is a bad idea.

But as of now, I'm--

I'm committed to walking with them.

I came in here with no money.

I could walk out of here with no money.

I walk in here without the "Big Brother" experience,

I walk out of it with the "Big Brother" experience.

I come out of here a better person than when I walked in,

I think.

Fact of the matter is man, the journey begins

once we walk out the door.

Everyone says, oh yeah, you know,

good luck on your journey. And here.

Meh, this is nothing.

This is vacation time, in here.

Walking out of here is going to be the roller coaster.

[dramatic music]

[rock music]

What are your reasons to walk?

Well, maybe this is perceived as people

that are going against each other for money, you know?

I think it would be amazing to stand together and to say,

you know, there's six people, totally different parts

of society, all come together, care about each other enough

to stand together over money.

OK.

And that would be, you know, how I was thinking earlier.

OK On the flipside though, you know, the four-- the four

people that-- that are left, all the reasons that we've been

without our family and friends and have gone

through this experience for the last and / months,

you know?

I don't like quitting.

I think we can accomplish all of our--

our goals and our needs, and we can meet them all by staying.

I feel that way.

It'd be real interesting to see what the fans want.

I would think the fans would want us to stay, you know?

Mhm.

I would think so.

I think nothing should change at all.

We should have banishment on Wednesday,

and then nominations again on Thursday,

and then banishment again.

Right.

No, "I nominate you, you nominate me."

Everybody's up now.

[muted] it.

Same as-- same as always.

Right.

I just go.

I just play the game and go at it.

Right.

What do you say to that?

[sighs]

There's nothing wrong with that.

Do you see anything wrong with continuing as is?

Nope.

Yeah.

And that's why I'm wondering where you're at.

No, I understand where you're coming from.

Having to nominate two housemates,

I guess that's, like, the thing that no one likes in here.

Which everyone seems to conclude is sort

of going against each other.

My counter argument to that is, number one,

we know each other only and / months.

And I've said this before, and I'll say it again.

I would pick some people that I've known and /, months,

months, a year, years, to take

care of my family of years.

We knew that we'd have to do this coming into this.

Mhm.

We knew that we'd have to nominate.

We'd have to step on people, stab people,

do anything and everything coming into this.

Mhm.

And we knew that-- we know that we can

walk at any time if we do not like the circumstances

surrounding us.

I mean, that's-- that's my argument for it.

So were you--

you were committed to working out this morning?

I'm [muted] human, man.

I told you this morning I would.

Now I go back.

I might go back tomorrow morning.

I might change my mind tomorrow night.

I don't [muted] know.

I had to do what's right for me.

Yeah.

And-- yeah.

I agree with that completely.

That's bottom line.

And I don't see me getting damn

near as much personal satisfaction

within myself or anything by walking on Wednesday, opposed

to riding out my time here and getting

thrown when I do get thrown.

I don't-- I see me--

I see me-- re-- re--

blah-- ha-ba-ba-ba-blah.

I see me regretting if I walk on Wednesday.

Yeah.

[slow music]

Well, it's not going to sit well with Jamie.

- Yeah, it's not. - What are you guys saying?

- We got a bad one for you. - It's a bad one.

You're getting bombed.

- Great. - Who's getting bombed?

Jamie.

Jamie is?

Jeez.

"Jamie--"

"Jamie, Britt knows you are two-faced."

Oh my god.

I can't read the tail man, it's in the win.

It says L-Y--

--A-D-A.com?

Oh, lyada.com.

What's that mean, you guys?

Maybe it's a site about the show.

It's probably one lady out there.

Man!

Somebody say some bad [muted] about me already!

I feel jealous!

Don't stress, Jamie.

In one ear and out the other.

You never know who's writing these things.

George, the food in the oven is on warm, whenever you want.

OK.

- There's everything in there. - OK.

And you guys, whenever you're ready, there's stuff in there.

When you get done maybe you'll turn it off

and we can sit in there.

We'll just sit out here all day and watch planes.

[laughs]

Well, the show is incredibly boring now.

[laughter] The houseguests sit around.

The houseguests refuse to enter the house.

[laughter]

[plane engine whirring]

Don't stress.

Don't even give it undue attention.

There's several people flying these. 'Cause the one earlier--

Yeah.

There's like, there's like different people.

I know, they all contradict each other.

Yeah, they all contradict each other.

- Yeah, absolutely. - That doesn't make sense to me.

And the ones from Britt are all-- they're

supposedly all really nice.

But they may not be from Britt. - Yeah.

That's what I'm saying.

I don't think any of them are, personally.

They may not be from Britt.

Must lift.

Time?

[funk music]

IAN [VOICEOVER]: As the winner of a day challenge,

Curtis prepares for his reward, a night at the Emmys.

[music - "it had to be you"]

Oh wow.

So when do they want you dressed by?

They say be ready by :.

Yeah, standard.

Do you want me to put lipstick on your collar before you go?

[laughs]

Only if it's from your lips.

- Oh! - Oh!

Ah!

[music - "it had to be you"]

Yeah, slick.

Oh-ohh!

About halfway there, old man.

[laughs]

Ooh!

Styling!

Chick Magnet!

Yeah, we'll see.

I doubt it.

[laughs]

[music - "it had to be you"]

Just a day at the Emmys.

Oh yea!

You're going to the Emmys!

Turn around. Turn around.

Let's see.

[laughter] Turn.

Oh, perfect.

You look so hot.

Smooth, bro.

I'm not doing bad.

We know.

Go get 'em, boss.

Go get him.

See you out there.

Go bro.

I don't want to hug you and get makeup on you.

Yeah you do.

You look gorgeous, you know that?

- Bye baby. - Live it up.

Live it up. - Yeah.

You the man.

See ya.

See ya later, buddy.

Bye.

[cheering]

- Bye you guys. - Go get 'em out there.

- Bye bye! - Rock on!

Thanks!

[dramatic music]

[rock music]

IAN [VOICEOVER]: Josh.

Rationalizes his decision to walk out on Wednesday night.

You could throw out though the-- the worst

challenges in the world to me.

You see me eating pies and throwing

up and eating some more.

I don't care.

But I think my main concerns came up--

I've always hated to see other people hurting.

And it's not a strategic decision.

Everything I do, I'll tell you, from the bottom of my heart,

it comes from the bottom of my heart.

That's just the way I am.

That's probably when I jumped in, just because I see

George all torn up about it.

If it was me by myself, and there

was , banners flying in the air that

says Josh is an [muted], fine.

I can deal with it.

[slow music]

IAN [VOICEOVER]: George thanks Josh

for revealing what Brittany told him

on the live show, about George's wife's campaign

to banish his competition.

And I was just thinking to myself,

you know, if they want if they want to nominate George,

at nom night, on--

on what he's done in the house, because that's all

we have to go on.

He shouldn't have to worry about--

You don't.

Perfect.

And I couldn't be prouder of a person.

I just didn't know what to do.

I could not be prouder.

And so but now, George, look, it's like, OK,

we all know you still, at this point.

And it's like, you haven't done anything wrong.

But now everybody's going to look

it and go, OK, you know what?

I don't have a chance.

I'm going out of here Wednesday.

[sighs]

And that's why I didn't want to say anything, because--

You don't think I'm leaving Wednesday?

Yeah, I know you are.

And that's why I didn't want to say anything.

I'm walking out the door Wednesday.

But there's no reason for you to leave, George.

You didn't do anything.

What did you possibly do?

You're wrong, Josh.

What I'm telling you is this.

If we all go, on we all win.

[rock music]

[SINGING] Live, 'cause we're living today.

Feel the thrill of life, and don't be afraid.
