Post by bunniefuu »

Julie: tonight, the final

Four do battle, and by the end

Of the hour, only three will

Have survived to make it to next

Week's live finale.

Welcome to "big brother."

[ Cheers and applause ]

Previously on "big brother":

With steve and johnny on the

Block--

I've nominated you, steve,

And you, johnny mac.

Vanessa's plan was to cancel

The rock star dentist's encore

Tour.

Johnny mac is my main target

This week.

Unfortunately I had to put steve

On the block as well and it

Doesn't feel good on a personal

Level.

At the veto competition--

Thank you.

John ending up flozzing some

Much-needed gold.

I won the veto.

I'm not going home this week you

People.

Somebody has to go and it's not

Me.

So at the veto meeting.

I have decided to use the

Power of veto to save myself.

Vanessa was forced to

Nominate an ally.

Austin, please take a seat.

Looking to seize the

Opportunity--

Are we going to go down as

The dumbest people of all time

In history if we don't break up

Liztin.

Right now, yeah.

Vanessa came up with an

Unexpected plan.

We're like locked to make

Final three if we keep steve.

Julie shocked the house with

A surprise eviction.

One of you will be sent to

The jury house and we will crown

A new head of household.

And vanessa went through with

Her double cross.

Austin, I vote to evict you.

Oh!

Julie: it's official,

Austin--

I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry.

You are evicted from the "big

Brother" house.

Sending judas to the imagi

Narrium.

At the head of household

Competition, steve guaranteed

His spot in the final three.

Julie: you are the the new

H.o.h.

Tonight, beast mode cowboy

Returns to host the final and

Most important veto competition

Of the season and another

Houseguest will be sent to jury.

All this live on "big brother."

Good luck, austin.

Good luck, austin. [ Applause ]

Good evening.

I'm julie chen.

Welcome to "big brother."

Tonight, steve will make the

Final nominations of the summer,

Then vanessa, john, liz, and

Steve will battle in the final

Veto competition.

He winner of that poaf will will

Have the chance to change the

Nominations live and in the

Prosthey will determine who will

Cast the sole vote to evict.

So who will win the most

Important veto of the summer and

Grab all the power?

We'll soon find out.

But first, in the wake of

Blindsiding the austwins,

Vanessa is left to do damage

Control and plot her path to the

Final three.

I'm sorry, liz.

I didn't want to do it like,

That but I had to do it.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to.

I know.

That was the hardest thing

I've ever had to do so far in

This game.

Austin was straight up the best

Friend I had in the house.

I know he trusted me, and that

Feels so crappy.

But it's just like I have to

Keep telling myself that in this

Game, it was necessary.

I mean, he was going to beat me.

In the finals he was going to

Beat me.

I didn't want to, but you can

Understand--

I'm a bad person, I know.

You've got tond, figet to

Finals with you guys, I have to

Win.

I know, I know.

Otherwise, I'm never going.

Do you understand that?

Do you understand how hard it is

To play in that situation?

Vanessa is crying.

She's saying all these things to

Me how sorry she is, and I am

Not even listening.

I am so shocked.

Vanessa completely betrayed

Austin, and now I just know that

I have to do this thing on my

Own.

And I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Can I have a hug?

I need a hug of some kind.

Oh, my god.

Austin was sent out the door.

Liz has no idea what's going on,

But, steve, me, and vanessa

Decide to do this right before

Decide to do this right before the eviction ceremony.

The eviction ceremony.

Okay.

Okay.

Come in.

Hi.

Trust just trust me on this

One?

Do you trust me, steve?

Yes.

Go.

It's time.

This is so nerve-racking.

We got this?

We got it?

We got it.

Like a work of art, it couldn't

Have come out any more

Beautifully, and job well done.

Good work, guys.

I really adore austin.

I so do.

Like, I'm telling you, I adore

Him.

Julie: the correct answer

Is , seconds.

Which means, congratulations,

Steve.

You are the new h.o.h.

I don't believe it.

I just won head of household by

Nothing more than sheer dumb

Luck.

I did the math wrong.

It was supposed to be ,.

By some freak of nature I will

Never be stepping foot in the

Jury house, guaranteed.

Thank you, by the way.

You're welcome.

I told you.

I know.

Give me a hug.

Steve wins the h.o.h., And

This is a big stress off my

Shoulders, because if liz had

Won h.o.h., That would have been

My worst-case scenario.

But at the end of the day,

H.o.h.s don't mean much in the

Final four in "big brother."

It all comes down it the veto.

≫>

I seriously think I'm going

To throw up.

Go throw up.

Yeah.

≫>imented to win this

Competition so bad today because

I wanted to be safe for the

Week.

Very disappointed.

Johnny mac, h.o.h.s all

Season, final four.

Probably going to get evicted.

I have to talk to you, liz,

Afterwards, once you calm down.

Words can't describe how

Livid I am.

Not only does steve not go home,

But he wins head of household.

I want to yank that key off his

Neck so bad.

Austin was my voice of reason.

He was my support, and now I

Don't have him.

And it suction.

But I gotab strong.

I gotta put my game face on, and

I have to win these competitions

I have to win these competitions for him and julia.

For him and julia.

Man!

Vanessa, can we talk now?

Oh, my god, yeah.

I was leaving you around because

I didn't know if you wanted to.

I'm a wreck, just so you know.

Evicting austin was terrifying

But my biggest hurd thel week is

Going to be talking to liz

Because she did not see this

Coming and that is all my fault.

I need to have a conversation

With her, and I'm just banking

On the fact she doesn't totally

Hate me.

It was hands down the toughest

Decision I've made strategically

And the single most

Gut-wrempingly awful feeling I

Had in this game in the whole

Time.

Only two people can make finals,

You see that, right?

With the both of you, I had to

Make a choice.

I'm just sad about, like, the

Way it happened.

It's terrible upon.

It was so fast.

But you see there was no

Other way.

I couldn't kiss or cry.

I was show shocked.

Understand, because as much

As I loved you both, you're in a

Relationship and I'm not.

I know.

Which means if I get to

Finals with you guys, as great

As it would have been for you

Guys, for me it's terrible.

That's why they say showmances

Can't go far.

I have no one.

I'm alone.

You're not alone.

I know you can't see it now,

But, liz, this is better for

Your game.

Right now, if you want to win

This you better switch around.

You better turn on that charm

And do what you can do.

I need you in this game.

I never lied.

That.

Everything I ever said to you is

,% Genuine.

I'm not dumb.

I know I just have myself in

This game.

I can't stand steve and johnny

Mac is just whatever.

As much as it sickens me I have

To work with vanessa because

She's all I got at this point.

Austin came in as an individual

Individual.

He made it clear he loves me but

He wasn't going to sacrifice his

Game for me and I can't do it

For him.

I don't think of it like that.

I don't have any animosity

Against you.

I'm giving you my word on

Mel, I will take you with me.

We're going to kick a*s, and

We're going to kick a*s, and you're not alone in in thing.

You're not alone in in thing.

Because steve won the h.o.h.

This week, I know I'll never end

Up in the final three with both

Liz and johnny mac.

So I'm freed up to make a final

Two with both of them because I

Won't end up in the final three

With both of them ever.

This is the only way this

Season can end.

This is perfect.

Vanessa changes her mind a

Lot.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm

Making this final two deal seem

As really as it can be, because

I need her to feel % safe

With me.

With me. We got to win the veto.

We got to win the veto.

This is the nomination

Ceremony.

It is my responsibility as the

Head of household to nominate

Two houseguests for eviction.

I will turn two keys to lock in

My nominations and their faces

Will appear on the memory wall.

The first houseguest I have

The first houseguest I have nominated is...

Nominated is...

The next houseguest I have

The next houseguest I have nominated is...

Nominated is...

Sad face.

We have never seen your face

Pop up there.

I have nominated you, johnny

Mac, and you, vanessa, for

Eviction this week.

First of all, huge

Congratulations, final four,

Final nomination ceremony of the

Summer, final veto competition

Tomorrow.

As usual, these nominations are

Purely strategic.

There's nothing personal to be

Derived from them.

This nomination ceremony is

Adjourned.

I need a cookie.

I have had a very stressful

Day, so it's a bit of a relief

To not see my face pop up on the

Memory wall.

However, I know that this week

It actually doesn't mean a thing

Because it's all up to the

Person that wins the veto.

Number .

Unlike most nomination

Ceremonies, everyone's kind of

Happy and relaxed because it's

All about the veto this week.

If you win the veto, not only do

You save yourself from the block

But you're the soul vote to send

Someone to jury, and that's

Pretty awesome.

I love how we're just so

Immediately past that.

We're just, "that happened."

The one person I really don't

Want to win is vanessa.

I don't see myself beating her

In the final two.

I think she could be a very

Strong competitor for the final

H.o.h.

Thank you, vanessa, for keeping

Me in the house.

However, I still don't trust

You.

Julie: coming up, it's the

Final veto competition of the

Summer.

The winner not only guarantees

Themselves a spot in the final

Three but he or she will decide

Who casts the sole vote to

Evict.

Plus "big brother" legends

Rachel and brendon stop by to

Break some news live.

Stay with us.

Stay with us. [ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

With finale night looming, how

Did the members of the jury

React when two-thirds of the

Austwins showed up on their

Doorstep?

Our next jury member is

Coming in, who do you think it

Will be?

Vanessa.

I'm starting to think it

Might be.

And all of her hats, too.

Yes.

Julia!

You know, being out of the

Game is definitely a hard fill

Pillto swallow.

Who were you up against?

Liz.

Wait, wait, say it again?

You were next to liz?

Julia?

I mean, sheelings the last

Person I expected.

I would think immediately you

Would go federal liz and take

Her out.

One's a competition beast.

Julia not so much.

I shouldn't be talking.

I'm aware of that.

Who put you there?

Steve!

Let me just show you.

Lawyer.

Steve, you are the new head

Of household!

Wow.

I thought I was happy with

Steve winning but that wasn't

The case.

Julia, who would you like to

Challenge in the next bowlerina

Match?

Thank you, vanessa, oh, my

God.

I would like to challenge

Austin.

Why!

Why!

I started panicking.

I'm like why is she telling me

This?

I'm like does she know something

I don't?

She literally, like, just got in

My head.

Was he mad?

Him and vanessa got into a

Fight.

But you know what vanessa said

To me.

She was like, "julia, I swear on

My family, on my mom, that I

Wasn't trying to play you.

I was just trying to give you

Advice in the moment.

Let me tell you, I have so many

Things on austin I could tell

You right now.

Liz has to choose hoto cheer

For right here.

You have won the golden power

Of veto.

Wow!

I knew that me and liz were

Going on the block for sure.

Julie: jewellia, are you

Evicted from the "big brother"

House.

No animosity against steve.

It would have been stupid to go

With me, liz, and austin.

All of us have gotten this

Point by their playing.

Five deserving winners.

I absolutely agree.

Absolutely.

So who you all think is

Coming in today?

I definitely think if austin

Or liz win, steve will probably

Be joining us soon.

Yeah.

Who do you think johnny mac

Would put up?

I think austin.

I think austin. Austin and liz.

Austin and liz.

Well, a couple has never made

It this far in the game, so hats

To them.

Is that how it goes, the hats

Off.

Hats off?

Oh!

Oh, my god!

Austin!

What do you think happened?

I'll give you one guess.

Steve!

No.

John!

Vanessa!

Bingo.

Vanessa?

I'm scared for liz now.

She's alone in the house with a

Bunch of sharks.

Blindside.

Judas got judassed.

She got you, too.

≫>, of course.

Vanessa, you're underestimating

Judas.

Now he's in the jury house and

He might be determining your

Fate, bare foot or not.

Vanessa won h.o.h.

She put up steve and johnny mac,

She swear to me and liz we were

Safe, and then she blindsided me

At the eviction.

Oh, my god!

Oh!

Let's watch.

I have decided to use the

Power of veto to save myself.

So, austin, please take a

Seat.

I still thought vanessa was

Going to have my back.

Julie: we have a tie.

Oh, man!

I don't want to watch this.

Oh, my god.

I'm sorry, austin, I vote to

Evict you.

Oh, my gosh!

She said it with no merc, just,

Like, just cut your throat.

Bam!

Out of nowhere.

Oh, my god.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, my god.

He doesn't have shoes on.

She didn't need to do it that

Way to me.

I know that you're hurt

Because you got blindsided, and

I feel you, but you cannot deny

What an amazing game she has

Played--

I can and I will.

I don't think she played an

Amazing game.

Okay.

I think she played a flawed

Game and I can tell you a

Million reasons it was flawed.

None of us knew it was flawed

The whole entire time.

Somehow, she managed to stay

In the house, even though we all

Knew what vanessa was doing.

Who was in the house and who is

Sitting on this couch?

Vanessa blindsided me.

It's a mistake that I'm going to

Make sure costs her the game.

I did not expect this four,

That's for sure.

No!

I would never have guessed

That these four hodgepodge

People would make it to final

Four, and it's really time to

Start asking some really

Important questions to make this

Big decision.

Next veto has more to do with

This game than ever before.

And every single one of them

Are playing.

Julie: here joining us live

Are two people who have

Experienced the "big brother"

Jury firsthand.

On season , they both served

On it, and on season , she

Faced the jury on finale night

And won.

Please say hello to rachel and

Brendon.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Welcome back.

Thanks, I'm so excited.

Julie: rachel, I'm going to

Start with you.

What has surprised you the most

About this season of "big

Brother"?

You know that there are no

Floaters at the end.

It's really interesting.

Normally, we see some floaters

But this season we have vanessa,

Steve, liz, and even john, have

Really played the game, in their

Own way, but they've really

Played the game.

Julie: you said, "even

John."

I want to talk about john to

Brendon because you two have

Something in common pup were

Both evictd and you both won a

Competition to get your way back

In the house.

But unlike john, brendon, you

Were sent packing again and he

Made it to final four.

What do you have to say about

His accomplishments?

Definitely, for all the

Evictees out there, I think john

Represented us well.

He did a good job.

I think he turned it on,

Maneuvered his way through the

Game when he need to.

For me right now, I have to say

John win a p.o.v..

He needs to win an h.o.h., And

He has to win the final

Competition to be able to

Convince the jury.

Because I just don't know that

John has-- I love j-mac, we all

Love j-mac, but we need him to

Convince us he deserves to win.

Julie: I want to talk about

Romance in the house because the

Two of you met in the "big

Brother" house in the summer of

.

Yeah.

Julie: in the fall of ,

The two of you got married.

You were the first two

Houseguests to get married.

I want to talk about liz and

Austin.

Rachel, do you think this couple

Has a shot at a real

Relationship outside the house?

You know, I do.

I think that austin is going to

Give it a shot ,%.

I think he's going to totally go

For it.

And as long as liz doesn't get

Caught up in the after-b.b.

World, I think they totally do

Have a shot.

They seem to like each other.

In the "big brother" house you

Form a really special bond.

It brought brendon and I so

Close together.

I'm rooting for them.

I'm rooting for liztin.

Julie: brendon, do you think

They have a shot?

They have a shot but they

Also have a shot at winning half

A million dollars and some of

Them didn't do that either.

Julie: you guys have come

On the show to make an

Announcement, so you have the

Floor.

Yes.

Well, you know, julie how I say

No one comes in between me and

My man all the time, except a

Brenchel baby!

Julie: you are expecting!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

[ Cheers and applause ].

Julie: beautiful news.

Well, we have a little onesie

For baby brenchel, just a little

Suggestion for a name

Potentially.

Congratulations.

Thank you so much!

Julie: best of luck.

This is so cute.

Julie: drink lots of water

And get lot of rest.

She is, she is.

Julie: so nice to see you

Guys.

Coming up next, the final veto

Competition of the summer.

They battle it out to secure a

Spot in the final three.

Stay with us.

Stay with us. [ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

It's time for the most important

Power of veto competition of the

Summer.

The winner not only guarantees

Themselves a spot in the final

Three.

They decide which houseguest

Will cast the sole vote to

Evict.

Who will win the final power of

Veto?

It's time to find out.

So we walk outside to the

Backyard and see this kung fu,

Ninja, asian fusion setup.

[ Gong ].

No!

Oh, my god!

Beast mode!

And then out of nowhere we see

Caleb-- a.k.a., Beast mode

Cowboy-- from season , and I

Am stunned.

And I'm just like, dang.

Austin can't even do that.

He's going to be really jealous.

You were the hottest ninnia

Ever!

Thank you.

Welcome to the "big brother"

Bojo.

Today, you will need to put your

Martial arts skills and brother

Sparts to work in a little game

I'm calling "martial smart."

Whoa!

≫>y I see what you did there.

This karate tournament will

Be played over several matches.

In each match, I will read an

Event that has happened in the

"Big brother" house.

Your job is to figure out what

Day it happened on.

At the sound of the gong, run

Down to your opponent and punch

Or kick it.

You can make your counter go up

Five days for a glove punch or

One day for a shin blow.

Once you have the day you want

On your counter, run back and

Ring in.

If the day is correct, your

Counter will flash, and you are

Safe for the match.

Answer incorrectly, and your

Counter will reset, and you will

Have to guess again.

The last martial artist to

Answer correctly in each round

Will get one strike against

Them, two strikes you're out of

The tournament.

The last martial artist standing

Will win the tournament and earn

The power of veto.

Are you ready to play martial

Smart?

Yes!

This is the most important

Competition of the entire

Summer.

Not only am I able to lock up my

Safety for final three, but

Fiwin power of veto, I will be

Able to choose who is going to

Come along with me and steve to

Final three and that's a huge

Power.

This is one of the most

Important competitions yet of

The summer because it determines

Who is going to join me in the

Final three.

I can win this thing, use it on

Johnny, and send vanessa out the

Door.

On what day did clay win his

On what day did clay win his only competition?

Only competition?

Round one is on what day did

Clay win his only competition?

How could I forget that.

That was day .

[ Buzzer ].

No!

Oh, my god!

I knew it.

It was day that clay won

The get nutty competition.

Sorry, liz.

You rang in last.

That's one strike against you.

[ Applause ]

Nice!

On what day did shelli

Complete her swordsman

Training regimen?

[ Gong ]

Oh, my god!

The correct answer was day

.

Sorry, liz.

You rang in last.

That's your second strike.

You have been eliminated from

The tournament.

I am beyond frustrated.

I am the first person to be

Chopped out of this competition,

And now I have to rely on my

Girl vanessa to pull this one

Through.

Oh!

I got them both right too,.

So liz is the first player

Eliminated.

That leaves steve, vanessa,

Myself playing in this veto

Competition.

I'm feeling pretty good.

Lz is the one person that I

Not win this veto because she

Would probably take me out of

The game.

Round three.

On what day did zingbot enter

The "big brother" house?

Oh, yeah I remember that day.

It was one of the worst days

Ever because I got zinged and I

Lost a veto that ended up

Kicking me out of the house.

That was day .

[ Buzzer ]

[ Buzzer ]

[ Bell prin prin

[ Buzzer ].

The correct answer was day

.

Sorry, steve, that's one strike

Against you.

Round four.

On what day was meg put on the

Block for the second time?

I have nominated you, meg,

For eviction.

[ Buzzer ]

[ Buzzer ]

[ Bell ]

I can't figure out what I'm

Missing here.

Meg's first nomination was the

Week of the phone party.

The second nomination was by me

On day .

What am I missing here?

[ Buzzer ].

What was it?

First nomination...

[ Bell ].

Yes!

The correct answer was day

.

Sorry, steve.

That's your second strike.

You have been eliminated from

The tournament.

Meg was shelli's replacement

Nomination.

She didn't play in the that

Weekend.

I don't think I would have made

This mistake.

I think I felt too comfortable

As h.o.h. And that's yi blew it.

It's down to john and

Vanessa.

I can't believe it, but steve

Just dropped out of competition,

And it's down to me and johnny

Mac competing for the veto.

I cannot overstate how important

This moment is.

The veto in the final four is

Everything.

Steve is out of the

Competition!

The only two people left are

Vanessa and myself.

Ninja versus ninja.

We're going to battle for the

Final veto.

[ Gong ].

Julie: coming up, it's down

To vanessa and john.

The winner of this veto secures

A spot in the final three.

The loser's game hangs in the

Balance.

The conclusion of the veto

Competition is next.

Stay with us.

Stay with us. [ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

Tonight's live eviction lies in

The hand of either vanessa or

Johnny mac.

Who will win the veto and hold

All the power?

It's down to john and

Vanessa.

So it's me and vanessa, but

Here we are going to battle for

The final veto.

I have to be ninja fast to pull

It off.

Round five, on what day did

Frankie grande enter the "big

Brother" house?

[ Doorbell ].

Who wants to shine bright

Like a frankie!

In round five the question

Is, "on what day did frankie

Grande enter the house?"

I know this is day , because

On day I was 'd from the

"Big brother" building and sent

Out to a concert.

Pretty much the best day of the

Summer for me.

The correct answer was day

.

Sorry, john.

That's jur first strike.

Between vanessa and myself,

Whoever wins is going right to

Final three and the other person

Has to stay up on the chopping

Block.

Out of those two options, I know

Which one I would rather choose

For myself.

Round , on what day was the

Sixth nomination ceremony?

This is the nomination

Ceremony.

I have nominated you, clay, and

You, shelli.

[ Gong ]

I know these days like the

Back of my hand, but this

Thing's a race, and that's the

Part that's k*lling me.

I'm going so fast, I keep

Overshooting the number and

Messing up.

[ Buzzer ]

[ Buzzer ]

[ Bell ]

The correct answer was day

.

Congratulations, vanessa.

You have won the final veto of

The summer.

Oh, my goodness, I just won

The veto.

This is everything.

I think I've repaired my

Relationship with liz, and

Things with johnny mac seem to

Be on the up and up.

They're both going to be looking

At me to take them to final

Three but I can only take one.

I've got an enormous decision in

Front of me.

Oh, my goodness!

That was awesome!

That was awesome.

Hot!

Vanessa winning means the world

To me!

I am going to final three.

But I have a little bit of doubt

Because I don't want to be

Blindsided.

She did it to austin, so whons

What she's going to do?

I hope I can trust her.

Congratulations.

Thank you, it's been an

Honor.

Whooo!

I might be in a lot of

Trouble.

The only hope I have in this

Game is whether vanessa feels

Like it's better for her game

For me to stay or for me to go.

Wow.

That's terrible.

Julie: with the power now

Securely in her hands, vanessa

Will surely remove herself from

The block.

But having deals with both liz

And john, she will now be forced

To save one and betray the

Other.

The live veto meeting and

Eviction are next.

Stay with us.

Stay with us. [ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

It's now time for the live veto

Meeting and eviction and the

Power lies entirely with

Vanessa.

Who will she singlehandedly send

To the jury house?

It's time to find out.

Hello, houseguests.

Hi, julie!

Julie: well, you will be

Very happy to hear that the live

Finale of "big brother" will

Take place one week from

Tonight.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that the game is

About to end for one of you.

And it's now time for the veto

Meeting.

Vanessa, as the winner of the

Power of veto, you may use it to

Save john or yourself from the

Chopping block, so please stand

And gave us your decision.

Julie, this is my golden

Ticket to the time three and I'm

Going to take it.

I'm going to use the veto on

Myself.

Julie: since, vanessa used

The veto, liz, you are the only

Possible replacement nominee.

Go ahead and take a seat next to

John over there.

John and liz, the two you have

Been in the "big brother" house

For days.

But for one of you, this will be

Your last.

I'd like to give each of you one

Final chance to address vanessa

Before she casts the sole vote

To evict.

John, you're first.

All right, guys.

It's been an awesome summer.

I've had fun.

And I know a lot about you guys.

I know that some of us aren't

Too good at being discreet about

Being excited.

So with that said, if they came

To hear me beg, they will be

Disappointed.

The arbiter.

[ Laughter ].

Julie: thank you, john.

Liz, it's your turn.

This has been such a

Challenging and intense game.

Although it's easier to make

Enemies in "big brother," I can

Only say that I've made so many

Friends, and this has been such

A phenomenal experience.

Vanessa, I know you're going to

Do what's best for your own

Game, and I just want you to

Know that I have always had your

Back, and I always will, and I

Would love nothing more than to

Continue on this "big brother"

Journey with you guys.

Thank you.

Julie: thank you, liz.

Thank you, both.

Just a reminder, the evicted

Houseguest will have only a few

Moments to say good-bye, gather

His or her belongings, and walk

Out the front door.

Vanessa, please stand at the

Head of the living room, face

The two nominees, and cast your

Vote to evict.

All right, johnny, listen,

You put some very tempting

Offers on the table this week.

However, for me to believe the

Things you're promising me, it

Requires me believing you'ring

About lg to go back on a

Game-long alliance with steve

Which, "a," either isn't true,

Or "b," is true, and means

You're willing to go back on a

Game-long alliance.

So how I can trust the promises

You only recently made me.

Ultimately I hope you can

Respect this for the game move

It is andon a personal level I

Adore you but I have to go for

The gold on this one.

So despite how much I like you,

Johnny, I vote to evict you.

Julie: it's official, john,

For the second time, you have

Been evicted from the "big

Brother" house.

All right.

Tell austin I said hi.

Oh, I will.

Good luck, guys.

Bye, johnny.

See you.

Rock star!

Rock star!

[ Applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah!

Julie: have a seat please.

Final three.

I know!

Such applause.

What is the arbiter?

Oh, my god.

He got so much applause.

I am still convinced he is a

Twist.

What is arbiter?

I didn't hear what he said.

He said something about the

Arbiter, and I don't know what

It was.

Wow.

Julie: are you surprised to

Be sitting here?

No.

Julie: because it looked

Like-- we saw you and vanessa

Say you guys had a final two.

Did you ever believe you had a

Final two with her?

Not really.

I tried best I could to cover my

Bases in case I lost the veto,

But if I lost it, I was pretty

Much going.

Julie: would you have

Honored a final two with her if

You weren't sitting in a

Nomination chair?

No, I would have evicted her.

[ Laughter ].

Julie: so neither of you

Meant it when you said it?

Yeah.

Julie: that's honest.

Watching you play brother, it

Seemed like you loved living on

The edge.

At times you were erratic,

Illogical.

Yeah.

Julie: making--

Yeah, it happened sometimes.

Julie: was this your

Strategy or were you just trying

To throw people off?

I think so.

Like I tried just all kind of

Things.

I didn't really know what I was

Doing the whole time.

Looking back on it, I wouldn't

Have done things the same.

I should have gotten rid of

Steve next week and maybe she

Wouldn't have had a choice but

To break you want showmance.

That's probably where I made my

Biggest mistake.

Julie: do you live your

Life like this outside the

House?

Yeah, a little bit.

It happens.

Julie: last week, you were

Part of the austin blindside.

Yes.

Julie: you're about to face

Him.

He's a big guy.

Uh-huh.

Julie: are you nervous at

All?

No, he's big, but he's

Probably fine.

[ Laughter ].

Julie: before we send you

Off, final thoughts?

Um, good luck to them.

They've been playing hard in

There.

I guess.

That's pretty much it.

Julie: who do you expect to

See in the final two?

Probably vanessa and steve?

I might go with that.

Julie: that would be an

Interesting match-up.

Yeah, I think so.

Julie: johnny mac, thank

You so much.

Thank you.

Julie: stay right there.

The finally three have been

Determined, and steve, vanessa,

And liz are headed to finale

Night.
