Post by bunniefuu »

ANNOUNCER: Previously on "Big Brother ."

Diane betrayed the girls alliance by joining

forces with Drew and Michael.

I will try my best to keep both of you here.

ANNOUNCER: And she devised a plan to get rid of Karen.

I win the veto, I'm safe, I save him.

Me and him keep you here.

ANNOUNCER: When the vote was announced,

Karen was sent packing.

Thanks for backdooring me.

Me and her never verbally made any promises to each other.

Your pinky is the only pinky I touched.

Drew became HOH for the third time,

guaranteeing him a spot in the final three.

This is a game.

We're getting down to the end of it.

ANNOUNCER: Diane, Michael, and Drew strategized on how

to ensure Nakomis's eviction.

I just don't want her to feel like she's being

backdoored, because she's not.

She's not being backdoored.

ANNOUNCER: But Diane worried about breaking her

pinky swear promise to Nakomis.

If I'm on the block tomorrow right next to Nakomis,

then I obviously can't vote Nakomis out of this game,

and in the process not break any promises with her.

ANNOUNCER: At the Nomination ceremony,

everything went according to plan.

Obviously, I've nominated you, Nakomis, and Diane,

and this is where our personal game separates.

ANNOUNCER: Who will win the final power of veto and will

Nakomis or Diane be saved from the chopping block,

and which houseguest will be evicted next?

Find out tonight on a special live edition

of "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

JULIE: Good evening, I'm Julie Chen.

Welcome to "Big Brother ."

It's day inside the Big Brother house and one

week from tonight the winner of the half million dollar prize

will be crowned.

As the end of the game quickly approaches,

the final four houseguests are in a fight for survival.

Tonight is the last and most important

Veto competition of the season.

Who will win the golden power of veto,

and will they use this power to either save themselves

or a fellow housemate from eviction?

We'll find out when the Veto meeting is held live.

Also, another houseguest will be evicted this evening,

and later, the final three will compete

in the last Head of Household competition of the season.

But first, Drew won HOH ensuring his spot in the final three.

He chose to put Diane and Nakomis on the chopping block.

But with only four people left, everyone

is thinking about how the final golden power of veto

will change the game.

Michael, you are safe.

Obviously, I've nominated you Nakomis and you Diane.

From my knowledge, you guys have been close together

since early on in this game.

With that said, I guess the meeting is adjourned.

I told him before, I was like, if you're putting me

on the block, say it's for something stupid,

like I wouldn't give you chips and salsa.

I would have preferred that more than you're

a really strong player.

It's all good.

Yeah.

It is.

I'd have done the same thing to you and Cowboy.

We put them two up and just hoping that Drew or myself will

win the golden veto, so we keep it how it is,

and Drew and myself, two out of the four horsemen,

will make it to the final three.

Go to sleep early, wake up, win the veto.

There you go.

Me or you, that's all that needs to win the veto.

Yeah, I know.

I think that's why Cowboy's nervous.

I can tell he's nervous.

That's why he was kissing my a*s tonight.

Yeah.

Because he knows that if one of us comes off, he goes on,

and then it's over.

Over rover.

If I win the power of veto, I have

to choose who I would like to evict between Nakomis

and Cowboy, and I don't want to because whatever I do,

I'm gonna be breaking a promise with somebody.

You got something you want to tell me?

Yes.

I made two promises in this game, one was to you

and one was to Nik.

If I win that veto, and I don't keep her

in this game, that's one more pissed off person

I have in the jury at me.

I need not to get the veto.

That's what I'm telling you right now. if I get the veto

tomorrow, Drew, there's a good chance

that I don't know who I'm using it on,

and I can't promise you that I'll keep Cowboy in this game.

Diane is definitely trying to save Nakomis.

She's trying to look out for her own butt.

She's saying that, you know, if Nakomis won HOH next week,

that she would definitely probably be

picked to be in the final two.

Now, if it came down to you, Nakomis, and me,

who'd you pick if you had HOH?

You, for sure.

Drew, I swear on my sister's grave.

Just remember, you better be telling the truth

right now, because if I'm on that jury

and you're telling me a lie.

Oh, oh, babe.

I'm just saying.

I'm just telling you.

You might want to tell the truth.

You might have one more pissed off person at you.

Shut up.

JULIE: Let's head to the living room

and talk with the final four houseguests.

Hello, everyone.

Hey, Julie.

Hello.

JULIE: Diane?

Hi.

JULIE: You and your fellow housemates

won a shopping spree in the Trashing

the Fashion Luxury competition.

What was it like to get all those new clothes?

Probably the most exciting thing in the entire world.

You know, you can win my heart with clothes.

What do you think?

This is actually one of the pieces of clothing.

JULIE: Very sharp.

I like it a lot.

Thank you. JULIE: Nakomis?

Yeah?

JULIE: You and your brother made it to the final four.

Yeah.

JULIE: Congratulations.

How do you think your dad will react to the two of you

getting this far in the game?

I think that, you know, our dad will

think that it's just peachy, you know,

not to sound all [squeak].

You know, he'd be cool with it.

He;d be like, yeah, that's my offspring,

and you know, it's all good.

JULIE: Sounds like a cool dad.

Yeah.

JULIE: Drew?

Yes.

JULIE: You talk a lot about your twin brother Ben.

Yes, I do.

JULIE: What advice do you think Ben

would give you in regards to making

it to the end of this game?

Well, my brother and I, we've always had the motto, step

by step, so right now, I've been taking this game each step

each by each week, so I know that's what he'd say.

And keep my chin up.

JULIE: It's doing well for you so far, right?

Apparently, it has, so I'm going to stick with my plan.

JULIE: Michael?

Yes, ma'am?

JULIE: You are getting closer to winning

the half million dollar prize.

What would you do with all that money if you won?

Well, obviously, I think everyone knows that a better

future for my family, and I've always

wanted to have a dude ranch to help children and stuff,

so that's always there on the top of my list.

And just I didn't have a lot of things growing up,

and I just want to go give that opportunity to Chase

and to have.

JULIE: That sounds great.

Now speaking of the half million dollar prize,

I have some news for all of you.

One week from tonight, the winner of "Big Brother "

will be crowned.

In seven days, one of you will be a half million dollars

richer.

Nice number.

JULIE: Think about that.

Thank you, everyone, and I'll be back to talk with all

of you a little bit later.

Thank you.

Thanks, Julie.

JULIE: Who'll be leaving the Big Brother house?

It all depends on who wins the final golden power of veto.

Will Diane and Nakomis stay on the block or will they have

a chance to save themselves?

We'll find out when we return.

Welcome back.

Old grudges continue at the Big Brother jury

house with the twins on one side and Marvin

and Will on the other.

But will the arrival of the fifth jury member help

ease the tension?

Here in sequester house, I've been

living with Will, the twins, and it's been

hell in paradise basically.

The twins and I, we don't get along at all.

Natalie, I just want to spit on her when I see her.

Anywhere with the twins for me is the absolute antithesis

of paradise.

Marvin and I, we've completely kept secluded.

So who do you guys think it's going to be?

Well, I hope it's Diane.

If it is, I can stab her in the eye with a chicken bone,

and I would be happy.

I was waiting at the bottom of the stairs

today waiting on our new evictee.

We were missing Natalie.

Natalie has been down with a bug.

Karen?

What?

Is there a backdoor I can go out?

I think they were expecting somebody else,

and they were like ah.

Marvin.

This is a total shock to me.

I looked at her, and hugged her with a wink.

I'm like, OK.

I'll do this just to be civil and stuff, put

don't try to be all fake.

You don't like my damn a*s.

To backstabbers, liars, cheaters, and deceivers.

Don't forget snitches.

Uh-oh.

Drew, I choose to save you.

Karen, I'm going to have to hike

you up onto the green block.

Ah.

JULIE: Karen, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

Hey.

That's karma for you, baby.

It's quick.

Real quick.

Seems like more of the good eggs

are getting dumped into sequester,

and a lot of bad eggs are still stinking up the joint back

there at the Big Brother house.

The Big Brother house is now a freak nest,

Nakomis is twisting in the wind.

And you know, all we can do is just wait

and see who the next person is.

JULIE: Tonight's Golden Power of Veto competition

is the final and most important of the season.

The only person who is truly safe from eviction

is Drew, the current head of household, but winning the veto

is critical for Diane.

Michael, and Nakomis because it could change the nominations

and put the power to evict in the winner's hands.

All right, guys, I need everybody to gather

round the living room.

This is the final Veto competition, as you know,

so obviously, it is a very, very important one.

Right now, we need to each go to the assigned rooms,

and then Big Brother will call us to the back yard one

by one to compete.

You guys ready? - Yeah.

Let's go.

Good luck, everybody.

Good luck, guys.

Good luck, Cowboy.

Good luck, Chica.

Wow.

I walked outside and I saw huge rows of our faces in pictures,

and I saw this huge electronic generator.

I'm just thinking what in the world is this all about?

Sock it to Me.

In our last veto game of "Big Brother ,"

you will have to use a combination

of intelligence and speed in order to win

the final golden power of veto.

In front of me are numbered light boxes, each representing

one week in Big Brother house.

In those boxes are pictures of various houseguests.

Under each houseguest's picture is an electrical outlet.

My goal is to connect the houseguests in a specific order

by plugging the electrical cords into the outlet

below their picture.

When I think that I have the pictures in the right order

and properly connected, I'll pull up on the main switch.

If I'm correct, the pictures will light up

and the clock will stop.

The houseguest who connects the pictures in the correct order

in the fastest time will win the final and most powerful

veto yet.

Once I tear open my envelope, my time will begin,

and I will find out what order I need to connect

the houseguests pictures.

Connect all the veto winners in order from first to last.

I'm thinking I'm doing a pretty good job, you know?

I made it through the first five.

Adria got it that week.

Adria won it two weeks in a row.

Karen.

Yes.

And Diane won it.

Who own the last veto?

Diane won it again.

[buzzer]

sh**t.

Diane put up Jase and Scott.

Jase won it.

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

Marvin won one.

[buzzer]

What?

I won a veto.

I am such an idiot.

I'm an idiot.

I'm an idiot.

I just feel like my face was saying to me, Drew,

you're an idiot.

Oh my gosh.

Connect all of the veto winners

is order from first to last.

I don't want to win the veto, but if it means

I've got to win the veto so Nakomis doesn't win the veto,

then I'll do it.

Oh, I don't know.

The first four weeks were hard to me.

Give me that damn buzzer.

[buzzer]

I knew somebody in the middle was wrong,

and I could not put it together.

Oh no.

Drew.

Drew won one somewhere.

After Drew it was Jase.

Drew won the veto and saved me.

Apparently, I forgot that week.

That was awesome.

I would love to win the golden veto, that just secures

my spot for the final three.

Connect all of the veto winners in order from first to last.

I won this sucker.

Jase.

No, it wasn't.

Excuse me.

Scott.

Then Jase.

It was very tiring going back and forth,

back and forth for them cables.

My chest was burning.

My legs felt like cross country all over again.

I was a blazing.

Karen, here I come.

Come on, baby.

Let's rock and roll.

Whoo.

The only worry was Nakomis.

Everything rests on the veto this week.

If you're on the block, you want to use

the veto to get off the block.

I just want to be here next week.

The next week was.

And then it was Drew.

Jase race.

Adria won it because she was HOH.

Karen.

[buzzer]

Jase, got it again.

All right, guys, the whole game kind of

comes down to this.

My score, minutes and seconds.

Oh my God.

I'm sorry.

Diane had a time of minutes minutes and seconds.

Michael had a score of minutes and seconds.

Holy wow.

And Nakomis had a score of minutes and seconds.

Michael is the winner of the golden power of veto

with minutes and seconds.

Congratulations, Michael.

This game, I have not won HOH or a single Veto competition

until now.

It was time for me to step up in the game and win a golden veto,

and that's what I did.

JULIE: Coming up, Diane and Nakomis face

possible eviction this evening.

With Michael holding all the power,

how will these two houseguests try to stay in the game?

Welcome back to "Big Brother ."

Tonight, Michael holds all the power.

Whichever nominee Michael saves with the golden power

of veto stays in the house, while the other nominee

is automatically evicted.

Michael's position has both Diane and Nakomis

scrambling to save themselves.

Come on, Cowboy.

Come outside.

So who would you like literally, like right now,

who would you take to the end?

This is the thing.

I'm going be honest with you right now, because I mean,

of course, you know that Diane and Drew

and myself has an agreement.

It was the first time that someone had actually

like straight out told me that.

You know, I had to act like I wasn't surprised,

and definitely think of a new plan really, really quick.

Here's the other thing, I would take you to the end.

Right.

Diane would take him.

He would possibly take Diane if she was here.

It does scare me to have both of them in there.

Because remember when you and Scott came to me and said,

we want Cowboy to be at the end, and we want Cowboy to win?

Yeah.

See, now, here's the thing.

Later on, when you weren't there,

I made a promise to him and Jase that if I was final two,

I would take you to the end.

There's been times that Jase and Scott both came up to me

and were like, hey, we want to see you and Cowboy at the end,

and I'm like, whatever.

So I kind of sort of extended the truth, elaborated, lied.

Blood is thicker than water.

That's something that I felt from the very beginning,

from the first wake.

You know, we're relatives in the house together.

I would take you.

You're America's favorite cowboy.

You would win.

I just want second place.

Last week, you was campaigning for me to leave this house.

Like, how can you tell me that you want me to win when

we're not on the same side?

I'm your sister.

You know, I think Nakomis, I think that, you know,

she's trying to tell me anything that will

take her to the final three.

I have to choose A, my sister, or B, a friend,

and it's a very hard decision on my part.

I don't like to lie.

I don't like to cheat.

I don't like to fib.

And that's what you got to do in this game,

and I thought that I would be able to do it

with a clear conscience, but I felt horrible.

- What's wrong? - Huh?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You're mad at us?

No, I'm not mad at anyone, Cowboy.

I'm just I'm really stressed out right now,

and it's me and her, we're on the block together,

and I don't know if I'm leaving, and I don't

know exactly what's happening.

And usually, on my own, I know what's happening,

and I'm always in control, and I don't know what's going on now,

and I'm going nuts not knowing what's going on.

That is what is going on!

I don't know what's happening, and I'm going nuts.

I was just--

I'm asking you because I care.

I know, and that's what's pissing me off.

Because I care?

No.

I want people to care, but I don't know what's happening,

and that's what pisses me off.

And I have worked so hard to get everyone, you

and you and you and me to where I am right

now as everybody else has.

I feel like Nick knew what was getting ready to happen

about her probably leaving the house this week,

and now she's doing everything she possibly can

to keep herself in this game.

It doesn't matter what type of a player you are.

It doesn't matter how hard you try.

All that matters is how much you lie, and how much you cheat,

and how much you steal, to get to the end,

and I hate that part.

I've never seen anybody cry so much, but not shed a tear,

you know what I mean?

I hate this game.

You know, I'm looking at Diane.

I'm thinking, I know what Diane's thinking.

I'm going home, OK?

I'm going home because of this performance.

You could-- you don't understand.

Listen, she was singing a completely different

tune before you two walked out.

Completely different.

Please.

You've got to be strong.

This week is k*lling me.

I don't even know what I'm doing any more.

It's k*lling me too.

You know what?

It's out of my hands.

And it's not in your hands either.

It's in Cowboy's hands.

Cowboy's so worried about looking like a bad person

that I felt like there's no way Cowboy

would vote out Nakomis now.

Last night was, I don't know what

the hell happened last night.

That just make things times harder for you.

I know you're smart.

I want you to know she wanted you out, Cowboy.

I completely went against your sister

on keeping you in this game.

That's why I'm in a situation where

I have my sister on the block, and I have a good friend.

I take you, I know if you win, you're

taking Drew to the final two.

And I knew that you'd be thinking that.

Why would I want-- - I'm just--

Pretty boy standing next me?

Do you think anybody in that jury is going

to give me money over him?

I hate to break his heart, but I don't

know if I'd put him next to me.

That's like handing him half a million dollars.

So honestly, if you won HOH next week, would you take me?

Over Drew?

Yeah.

You know what, it might be in your best interest

to be standing next to somebody like me in a final three.

This is the thing.

I haven't made up my mind, but you

know, it will play a huge factor if you promise me that it

would be you, if you win HOH.

That you would take me to the final two if you win next week.

I'll promise to give him my first child when I have it

if he keeps me around.

Yeah.

JULIE: Tonight's live Veto meeting is unique.

Michael, the veto holder, is safe from eviction

and so is Drew, the current head of household.

That means whomever Michael chooses

to save with the veto stays in the house

automatically evicting the other nominee.

Michael holds all the power tonight.

He's currently in the diary room where he can talk privately.

Hello, Michael.

Hey, Julie.

JULIE: Now, your fellow housemates cannot hear you,

so feel free to say what's on your mind.

OK.

JULIE: You find yourself in a very unique position tonight.

Tonight you will ultimately be deciding who stays in the house

and who gets evicted.

Now without telling me what you've

decided, how do you feel about having

to make such a tough decision?

Well, Julie, this is a very hard decision on my behalf.

You know, I knew that I had to win the golden power of veto

to guarantee my spot in the final three.

April told me to step up in this game, and that's what I did.

So I won the golden veto.

With the golden veto that puts me in an awkward position

where I have to choose to give to my sister

or Diane, a good friend.

This is a very hard decision that I

will have to make tonight.

I've lost sleep on it, obviously.

So it is a very tough decision on my behalf.

JULIE: Absolutely.

Well, while living in the house, you discovered

Nakomis is your half sister.

Do you feel any obligation to keep her

in the game because of that?

You know, I play this game to start with not to hold

that she is my half sister.

We are a lot closer.

We do share a little brother and sister relationship,

but I will not factor that in tonight.

I will do it how each one of them treated me in this game.

JULIE: OK.

Well, thank you for your thoughts, Michael,

and you can head back to the living room.

Thank you, Julie.

JULIE: You're welcome.

Coming up, tonight's live veto meeting.

Michael now has the sole power to save

Diane or Nakomis forcing one of them out of the game.

What will he do?

Welcome back to "Big Brother ."

Tonight's live Veto meeting is the most unusual in Big Brother

history.

Michael, the veto holder, is safe from eviction

along with Drew, the current head of household.

Whomever Michael saves with the veto stays in the house

and the other nominee will automatically be evicted.

Who will be leaving the Big Brother

house, Diane or Nakomis?

Let's go back to the living room for Michael's decision.

Hello, houseguests. - Hi.

Hello.

JULIE: Michael, since you hold all the power,

I'm going to ask you to save either Diane or Nakomis

with the golden power of veto.

That means the other nominee will

be evicted from the Big Brother house

and must leave immediately.

Diane, Nakomis, I'm now going to ask each of you

to state your case as to why Michael

should use the golden power of veto to save you.

Now think carefully about what you would like

to say because you still might be

able to change Michael's mind.

Diane, you're up first.

OK.

Michael, I want to start by saying

I respect and admire everything about you more than you know.

I know, however, that you know that you're

sitting on that block today because of something I

did last week.

You put your trust in me three weeks in a row,

and I've proved it to you, and I put my fate in your hands

this week for a promise that we made,

and you said you're a man of your word,

and if you can hold your word I would honor that back to you.

That's all I have to say.

JULIE: Thank you, Diane.

Nakomis, what would you like to say?

You know who I am.

You know how I am.

And plus, Dad would get really mad

and ground you if you do not save me today.

JULIE: Talk about pressure.

Thank you both. Nice job.

Well done.

Well, Michael, it's now time for your decision.

Whomever you save stays in the house,

the other nominee will be evicted.

Just a reminder, the evicted houseguest will have one minute

to gather their belongings, say goodbye,

and walk out the front door.

Michael, please reveal your decision.

First off, i wan to say, y'all are wonderful young ladies.

I love both of y'all, and this is

not a decision on if I hate one of y'all because that's not it.

Nakomis, like you said, we both are brother and sister,

we do got that from this game.

You did make a promise to me that if you won HOH,

you would not put me up, and I'm factoring in as well.

Diane, you've been awesome.

We did not agree on a lot of things

at the beginning of this game, and we have grown closer

over the last several weeks.

And you know, you have been honest with me

these past few weeks, and we did make a agreement,

and I am a man of my word, and I do choose to use

the veto to save you, Diane.

JULIE: Michael's decision means that Nakomis,

you have been evicted from the Big Brother house.

Come on, let's move this way.

Door wards.

Door wards.

Door, door, door.

And you're grounded.

Hang on, I'm coming.

No.

No hard feelings, Michael.

Really.

She's the best person to walk out the door.

Seriously.

I'm literally probably the only person to walk out these doors

and not hold a grudge, so come here.

Take care.

Come here. - I love you, sis.

I know.

You take care, man, no hard feelings.

OK?

Chipper.

You all have fun.

See you all on the outside.

Stay strong.

Tell [inaudible] I said hi.

Definitely.

I hope you guys have a good one.

Bye.

Love you.

See ya, Nakomis.

Michael.

It's OK.

Thank you.

Thank you for honoring your word.

JULIE: Hey, Nakomis. - Hi.

JULIE: Put your stuff down.

Come on in.

How you doing? JULIE: I'm good.

How are you doing? - Doing good.

Nice to finally meet you.

JULIE: Nice to meet you in person.

Please have a seat.

Oh, no.

I have water.

Congrats.

Thank you.

Oh, I want you to know that was hard.

I know.

And I am a man of my word.

I know.

I believe it.

I believe it.

You better go use the restroom real

quick if you're gonna do it.

I wonder if I'm allowed.

Because we got a commercial break too.

I would go ahead and click the thing on there.

I mean, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but--

Yeah, because I don't--

yeah, my key will go back up.

JULIE: Nakomis you were evicted by your very own brother.

How shocked are you by Michael's decision?

I'm not shocked at all.

Really

JULIE: Why?

I knew that I was the only person in the house

with a three person alliance as the final four,

so me being the one sitting here today doesn't shock me at all.

Plus Michael doesn't talk to me on a daily basis so.

JULIE: Exactly.

I mean you discovered you were half brother and sister

while in the house, and we never saw the two of you get close.

How do you see this relationship evolving once he's out as well?

It all depends.

The way that Michael handled himself in the game

isn't the type of person that I usually

like to hang out with because he's really sneaky,

and you know tried to do stuff that people could obviously

see, but he tried to--

I don't know, it all depends.

If he's a nice person outside of the house,

yeah, I'll hang with him.

I definitely want to meet Chase and April.

JULIE: You were a very strong player in this game.

You came up with the--

Six finger plan.

JULIE: To get rid of Jase.

You helped evict the twins, so how is it that you're

sitting here tonight?

Well, usually I've noticed that in society people who

get all the credit end up riding on the backs of the people

that help get them there.

So no surprise.

JULIE: Diane was in your alliance,

and then last week, she voted out one of the others

in your alliance, Karen.

How do you feel about her at this point in the game?

I'm sure that outside of the game, Diane's

an awesome person, but as a player, she does backstabs.

She plays the game like it's supposed to be played,

and yeah, if we're ever choosing teams for another game,

I don't think that I would have her on my team

because she could stab you in the back again.

JULIE: Who's the most vulnerable in that house right now?

Right now, Diane or Cowboy's the most vulnerable

in that house.

Drew has it set.

Drew's going to probably be the winner.

JULIE: All right, well, in the event that you were evicted

tonight, your fellow housemates taped goodbye messages to you,

so let's hear what they had to say.

Let's see them.

Nakomis, you have been one of the most honest people to me

in this game, and I'm sorry I put

you have so many times in this game,

but it was definitely just as a pawn.

You are the only person that made a promise with me,

and look where it got us?

It got us both to the final four.

I want to thank you for trusting me,

because you felt like you could.

Nakomis you're a friend, you are my sister,

and if you are watching this now, it means I did

choose to evict you.

The night that you cried, that just

showed me that you have a heart, and you do have a heart.

I love you, and you take care, sis.

JULIE: What do you make of that?

It's all good.

It's they're good people outside of the game, but it's all good.

Happy.

JULIE: When you said you left without a grudge,

was that true?

That's true.

It's a game, and I wouldn't get pissed off at getting beaten

at softball or basketball or Frisbee,

so I'm not going to get mad about this.

JULIE: Are you going to have a hard time

voting for any of those three?

We don't know the final two yet is, but--

Let's just say if Cowboy ends up in the final two

with someone, I don't think that he would be getting my vote.

JULIE: That sounds a little bit bitter,

but we'll continue this conversation

because we are out of time.

We will see you back here one week from tonight.

Awesome.

JULIE: And that's when you will help crown

the winner of "Big Brother ."

Cool beans. JULIE: Thanks, Nakomis.

Thank you.

JULIE: Cool beans.

If you have questions for Nakomis,

you can talk to her tomorrow at : PM Eastern, : AM

Pacific on "House Calls," the Big

Brother talk show at CBS.com.

And you can also see Nakomis tomorrow

morning on "The Early Show" with me, right here on CBS.

Talk more about that grudge.

Coming up, part one of the final Head of Household competition.

Whoever wins this HOH chooses which houseguest to take

with them to the final two.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to "Big Brother ."

Tonight, we begin the final Head of Household competition.

Unlike past HOH competitions, the outgoing head of household

will be allowed to compete.

Drew, Michael, and Diane are battling it out to secure

a spot in the final two.

Let's get the last HOH competition underway.

Houseguests, the power's up for grabs.

Drew, even though you are the outgoing head of household,

you are eligible to compete.

Tonight's final HOH competition will be a three part challenge.

Whoever wins round one will automatically

advance to round three.

The remaining two houseguests will battle it out

in the second round and that winner will

advance to round three as well.

At the end of the final round, the last head of household

has a guaranteed spot in the final two.

I would like the three of you to head outside to the backyard

now.

Good luck, y'all.

Good luck, guys.

Good luck, my boys.

Oh, God.

Oh my.

Oh, wow.

What do we got here?

JULIE: Houseguests, please step up onto the platform,

and choose a key to hold on to.

Oh, wow.

JULIE: Please place your feet on the two black columns--

Wait, wait.

JULIE: In front of the key that you choose.

I'll give you all time to get up there.

Funny.

JULIE: So now here's how the competition works.

You must keep one hand on your key at all times.

All right.

JULIE: You may switch hands if you like,

but at least one hand must be touching your key at all times.

Also, your feet may not touch the platform.

If that happens, you will be eliminated.

What are these rocks?

JULIE: The last person standing without letting go of their key

will be the winner of round one.

Now, a few more rules.

There will be no sleeping, eating, or bathroom breaks.

Does everyone understand the rules?

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

You got it.

JULIE: Please grab hold of your key,

and good luck, houseguests.

The final HOH competition has now begun.

Good luck.

Good luck, guys.

I'm going to be here all night.

Where's my-- where's my moon.

What are the rocks for?

Looks.

In case one of us falls, at least we have some cushioning.

[inaudible] if we fall on them.

This is cool.

This is a little different than a block.

JULIE: The final three have a long night ahead of them,

but Drew, Michael, and Diane have

no idea that we're about to shake up this competition.

Stay with us.

Welcome back.

"Big Brother " won't be seen on Thursday,

but I'll be back for a special edition on Friday

at : Eastern, : Central.

Find out which houseguest will become

the last and most powerful HOH.

This person will decide who will be evicted

and who will join them in the final two.

Then, join me one week from tonight at :

Eastern, : Central when all

houseguests will reunite for the season

finale of "Big Brother ."

The jury of seven will cast their votes live,

and one houseguest will be going home

with a half million dollars.

In the meantime, let's return to the backyard

and add a little jolt to this competition.

Well, how's everyone doing so far?

Oh, doing great, Julie.

JULIE: Now, this season we've given

you plenty of twists, right?

So what does that mean?

That means, hold on, because--

This is gonna shake.

JULIE: You said it, we're going to shake things up, Michael.

Oh, wow.

JULIE: Houseguests, welcome to earthquake country,

and keep holding on to your keys.

Good luck, everyone.

Yeah, thank you, Julie.

Yeehaw, Cowboy.

Ride 'em.

That's what I'm taking about.

All right.

This is going to be so annoying after--

JULIE: Who will win the final HOH competition?

Find out Friday night on "Big Brother ."

And if you want to see more of this competition

play out, go now to CBS.com and subscribe

to the live internet feed.

For now, we leave you as the houseguests try to hang on.

From outside the Big Brother house, I'm Julie Chen.

Goodnight.

Oh my gosh.

Geez.

This is crazy.

We love you Big Brother.

Thanks a lot for the twist.

You always got to do that, huh?
