21x35 - Episode 35

[bunniefuu]

Julie: it's been a crazy day in the "big brother."

House.

And the craziness is still going on right now.

We've never seen a final five this intense.

But no matter what's happening right now, these outsiders are

Running the show.

Welcome to "big brother."

[ Cheers and applause ] announcer: previously on

"Big brother": nicole, cliff, michie, and holly had a final

Four alliance.

I hope I can trust mickey and holly, because it would be great

To work with nem moving forward.

Announcer: and after michie earned power...

Michie, you're the new head of household.

Yes!

Announcer: ...it seemed like the plan to take tommy out

Was set.

I'm nominated you, cliff and you, tommy.

My final four with cliff, nicole, and hole is the most

Important thing in this game to me.

That leaves tommy on the outside.

So, unfortunately, as much as I love the guy, he's my target

This week.

Announcer: knowing his back was against the wall, tommy

Revealed a bombshell to jackson and holly.

I knew christie before coming into this house.

Oh, wow!

Announcer: but the news only made him a bigger threat in

Michie's mind.

Tommy telling me just guarantees he has christie's

Vote in the jury so I can't let him be in the final two.

If it's next to me, I won't win, so I need to make sure tommy

Doesn't win the veto this week in order to evict him.

Announcer: with the end game near, the battle for veto

Began.

Oooh!

Announcer: and nicole was the hero of the story.

Congratulations, nicole!

You've won the golden power of veto!

Oh, my god.

I haven't said that a lot about myself in this lifetime

Because I'm very hard on myself, but I'm so proud.

Announcer: jackson realized that if nicole used the veto,

Holly would automatically go on the block.

If nicole uses it on cliff, there's only one other

Replacement nominee, and that's holly.

On a game level, it makes a lot more sense to split us up, get

Me out next week, and then take tommy to final three.

Announcer: although nicole assured jackson and holly that

The final four was set...

My veto, I would very much like to use, but there's no

Funny business happening.

So don't worry, promise.

We're on board.

Don't panic.

We're good.

Announcer: ...she secretly contemplated taking a shot at

The showmance.

We're the only two votes, me and you.

Don't, I won't consider it.

Whether we keep holly or whether we keep tommy, if I make the

Wrong move, it could cost me half a million dollars.

Announcer: at the veto meeting...

I have decided to use the power of veto on cliff.

Announcer: ...michie was forced to put his showmance in

Danger.

Holly, please take a seat.

My fate is now in cliff and nicole's hands.

That realization is terrifying.

Announcer: tonight, will cliff and nicole betray their

Final four deal and send holly to jury?

Or will tommy's shot at the half-malmedical-dollar grand

Prize come to an end?

Plus an epic battle of endurance begins.

All this right now live on "big brother"!

Your heart explodes, your heart explodes, but you leave it

All on the freakin' field.

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: good evening.

I'm julie chen moonves.

This house is insane.

Welcome to "big brother."

It is day inside the "big brother" house, and tonight the

Alliance of four is being put to the ultimate test, because the

Power to decide who stays and who goes rests solely in the

Hands of cliff and nicole.

Will they stay true to their alliance with michie and holly,

Or will they seize this opportunity to break up the

Showmance that has been dominating this game?

We'll find out before the hour is up.

But first, whoever makes it through the night will make it

To the final four.

Let the deals begin.

This veto meeting is adjourned.

Welcome to the club.

Thank you!

I am so happy that I am working with cliff and nicole, and now

I'm relying on their integrity.

They gave me their word that they would keep me safe.

And I have no other choice but to just trust that.

That was great!

I thought I was dead in the water, but with nicole telling

Me she's thinking of keeping me, I do have a glimmer of hope.

But nicole won't do anything without cliff.

So I need to convince both of them that keeping me and

Breaking up the showmance is the best decision for their game.

I'm sweat sewing bad.

Me and cliff have a humongous, monumental decision to make.

Do we break up the showmance and move into final four with two

Individuals?

Or do we stick to our word, stick to our final four and vote

Out tommy?

And I know just even in saying it which option is the smarter

One, I know.

You did fantastic.

[ Sighs ] yeah, I have thought back and

Forth on this.

I know I've gone back and forth as well, you know, like on

The pros and cons, and who is stronger at what, you know?

Yeah.

If we took holly out, it seems like-- get a promise from tommy

That he goes after-- michie.

And not either of us.

Because angry michie is a very competitive michie.

Yeah.

Why would he not go after michie?

Michie is a huge competitor who I believe if he's sitting next

To any of the three of us, we're kind of in a little bit of

Trouble at the end.

I know.

Everyone's going to respect his game, though.

It's hard.

How do you not focus on who has won so many things?

Once again, it's you and me as a team because either one of us by

Ourselves can't do it.

We have to both vote.

That's why I want to make sure we're on the same page.

But I've always wondered a little bit about whether tommy

And michie were working together.

And how close they maybe were.

If I'm going to get rid of holly and keep tommy, I'm going to

Have to have some absolute promises that tommy's going to

Take nicole and myself to the final three and not michie.

That seems like an absolute minimum commitment before I'll

Even consider going that direction.

We do what we do to get to the final three and get at least one

And hopefully both of us to final two.

Oh, god.

It would be so amazing.

Beautiful night.

It is!

Enjoy it while we can.

Yup.

I know.

I know that you guys have a really tough decision to make

This week.

Uh-huh.

But I just wanted to let you know that yo if you guys did dec

To keep me, we would be on the same page as far as the target

Would be.

I would be a number four, you guys.

The other thing that I can offer you is that I would be willing

To throw you guys the h.o.h.

Competition.

Would you?

This deal that tome is offering is huge.

With michie not able to compete in this week's h.o.h.

Competition, if holly's gone and tommy throws the competition,

That means nicole or myself are guaranteed to win it, and

Whoever wins that h.o.h.

Competition has a guaranteed spot in the final three.

We haven't decided, so that is certainly on the board.

Take down goliath.

Yeah.

[ Laughs ].

I mean it when I say that I'm going to throw this h.o.h.

Competition.

If holly does wind up going home this week, that means that

Michie is the obvious next target.

But if michie saves himself, I'm hoping that he would want

Revenge on cliff and nicole for voting out holly.

Maybe he'd want to take me along.

That would put me in a really good position.

That's basically what I can offer.

I don't feel like you're fighting a lost cause on this

Thing.

I think that's very interesting.

Yes, I agree.

That's cheque mate.

I think so.

All right, time to call it an evening.

How is everything looking?

I don't know.

I'll be right-up honest with you, that nicole is looking both

Ways.

And she's talked to tommy a lot more than I have.

I don't know what kind of deals tommy's offering, if he's

Offering anything at all.

But I think she's worried that she's the odd man out in a final

Four situation.

Where is your head at?

What are you thinking?

I got mixed feelings.

I'm-- I'm worried about the two of y'all and me, but I also feel

A lot tighter than I do with tommy.

He's tighter with nicole.

You know, I do feel like if it came down to final four, that

I'd be with y'all.

Yeah, same.

Nicole and I have been working extremely close together

In this game.

But if we go through this with plan and get rid of holly,

Michie may be upset with the two of us, and if it comes down to

Selecting either me nicole to go forward, I want it to be me.

I don't know, michie.

I just talked to cliff up here.

He said, you know, I know nicole feels like if it came down to it

From four to three, she'd be the odd man out."

Four to three?

And he said, "I know that you would probably pick me.

But nicole probably feels that tommy would pick her."

As much as I'd like to say we're going to vote together, he goes,

"I'll be honest with you, I don't really know right now."

It has been said multiple times that we're going to final

Four.

We've been talking about this for weeks.

We've shaken hands.

We have re-solidified this deal over and over and over.

Jackson has kept cliff and nicole safe.

What's so complicated about final four?

You need to make sure you get at least one of them.

Because then I break a tie.

I'm so freaking nervous.

There's a lot of reasons as to why I want holly to stay, but

On a game level, going into next week, I can't compete in the

H.o.h.

I don't have that opportunity to quarantine guarantee safety.

If it's me versus tommy, cliff, and nicole, I have a % chance

Of walking out of this door.

If holly is here, at least it's -.

I'm not going to quit on hole ever.

I will do whatever the hell I have to do to keep her safe.

Julie: I was just listening in live in the house, and right

Now, cliff and nicole are still undecided as to what they're

Going to do tonight.

Up next, tommy drops his relationship b*mb, yet again.

Then, will holly be forced to say goodbye to her boyfriend, or

Will tommy see his game come to an end?

The live vote and eviction coming up.

Plus, as outgoing head of household, michie must sit on

The sidelines tonight and watch as everyone else left in the

Game competes in an epic battle of endurance to become the next

Head of household.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

The biggest eviction of their summer continues to weigh

Heavily on cliff and nicole.

But when tommy tells them his secret about christie, how will

It tip the scales?

Come in!

Hi, you two.

Hey!

My loves.

Are you up for a little campaign?

Wow, okay.

It's really important for me to tell cliff and nicole they know

Christie.

My biggest fear is that michie or holly used this information

Against me to make sure I'm the one walking out the door this

Week.

So I have to make sure that it comes from me instead of them.

I love you both.

I respect you both so much.

I would love to stay in this game to work with both of you.

If I do wind up at the end of this game, I want it to be with

The two of you.

Something else that I wanted to bring you to you guys.

When I came into the house, I met new people.

I knew christie.

Her ex-girlfriend that she talks about is a member of my family.

Can you give us a sec?

Yeah, can I pee real quick?

Yeah, go for it.

Do you mind if I showered real quick?

Can we go somewhere else then?

I just came up here to shower.

No, of course, mick, you do your thing.

Here I am, baring my soul to nicole and cliff, and michie

Walks in and ruins the moment.

Michie, I love you, but that was the worst timing ever!

So, yeah, her ex-girlfriend was a member of my family.

And I've been put in weird positions this summer because of

It.

I told mickey and holly a few days ago.

And a big reason why I'm telling you guys is because I was

Worried that michie and holly would tell you guys and use it

Against me.

But I wanted you to hear it from me because I understand I

Recognize that this could be a big deal.

I could-- it's all a matter of perspective.

Why I made some decisions that I made throughout the season

Because I was in a weird situation.

But I'm not in it anymore.

I'm still here, and I want to fight, and I want-- I want-- I

Want to be with you guys, and I want to do this.

I appreciate tommy's honesty so much.

But it's unnerving that he was able to keep a secret that well

For that long.

It does throw up a red flag.

All right.

I love you guys.

Thank you for listening to me.

Again, no expectations, but I love you both.

What happened?

Tommy told us.

Did you know he knows christie?

[ Laugh ].

What?

Wait, what?

That's not what he told us.

So were you guys surprised, or did you have an inkling that

Tommy and christie were-- I think it makes sense.

Still shocked to hear it said, but it makes sense.

My brain can click that together.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But it's like when I hear that it just makes me think christie

Is a guaranteed vote for him in jury.

But the fact that she's pretty much his family, she's in the

Jury house and would campaign for him, too.

And I have seen her campaign in this house.

Yup.

And I know how good she is at it.

And she could flip a jury very... Quick in his favor.

So it's like when I heard that, I was kind of like... Why would

You say that?

Why would you tell anybody?

I worry a lot about this bombshell that christie and

Tommy have this pre-existing tight relationship.

He could potentially have a guaranteed vote in christie, and

She can sway a lot of other people.

Without that, I really would be leaning towards keeping tommy.

But knowing this makes me a whole lot more nervous about

Keeping him.

I don't know.

That's just what immediately went through my head.

I can see that.

You all right?

Yeah, it's just stress, michie.

I don't know, man.

I know this is a game, but it just kind of-- it just kind of

Hurts.

I know.

When we shook hands I thought it meant something.

It does, and it did.

And it's k*lling me that I am potentially making an agreement

They absolutely made in good faith and with full intent.

I will be honest.

It feels like it's just a big slap in the face to keep tommy

Over holly.

On a personal level and a game level.

Well, I'm not playing on a personal level.

If I do that, I'm giving up what I feel is just almost certain

Final three status.

Nicole and I are going to be united, regardless.

But she feels tighter with tommy and feels that I'm tighter with

Y'all.

And that's where the division is.

If you look tat on paper, it does not make sense to keep

Tommy.

I know the dangers.

I just don't want to get burned by y'all.

I know you don't.

That is something that is hard to get over at this point

In the game.

I'm so sick and... Tired of trusting people and getting

Burned.

I'm sick of it.

I will throw the knife in their back if I get a chance.

So if holly stays or holly doesn't stay at this point, I'm

Gunning for cliff and nicole, regardless of what happens.

And if holly goes, it will rain fire in this house.

I'm saying we had a final four.

I know we did.

And then going back on it it kind of just...

I know.

Kick ago.

I know.

And at that point it becomes every man for themselves.

Julie: up next, more secrets are exposed that could change

Everything.

Then, tommy or holly?

Their fate lies in the hands of cliff and nicole.

The live vote and eviction is right around the corner.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

Knowing his partner's game is on the line, michie takes the art

Of the lie to a whole new level.

♪ ♪ Am I intruding?

No come on in.

We're talking.

Come on in.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I just wanted to touch base to see if there's anything

You guys need from me at all?

♪ ♪ Imented to bring up what our

Plan would be if you were to keep me.

Yeah.

What I would be offering.

I'm going to be honest with you, tommy, that's just what

Scares me, that we could potentially keep you in an

Attempt to help our games, and then you go off with michie into

The sunset and we're...

Oh, my gosh.

I would never.

I really would never do.

I never would.

I have viewed him as a threat for so long.

There's no taking this guy down.

Like he is-- he is an animal.

He is the full package.

And I can help you fake him down.

If you do choose to keep me, I want to find a way to prove

Myself to you.

And it's not just with giving you the h.o.h.

If you keep me, I essentially owe you, and I wouldn't take

That lightly.

I would hope that if one of you won the veto, that you would

Take me along as well, and that it wouldn't be him that got

Taken.

I know that this is hard.

But I did want to touch base.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Diarrheal just hear all that?

Think, think, think, think, think.

If he's willing to work with them and for them, and take

Holly out and have them three versus me, I'm screwed.

But if I make cliff and nicole feel like tommy may actually

Number my corner, exi convince them with enough fabricated

Evidence, using the details from his pitch I overheard, then they

Just might change their mind, and they just might keep holly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you.

They had just asked if-- okay.

I really don't want-- okay.

Yeah.

Let me ask y'all a question.

Yeah.

No guarantee of an answer, but ask away.

Is he going tow three an h.o.h.?

Why would you ask that question?

What are you being promised?

I don't know howalcy to tell y'all, he's playing both sides

Again.

He told me that he wants to not work against each other but with

Each other.

He feels that you will win this game, and he feels that you

Would be better to take to the final three.

And he said that he was gonna pitch to y'all that he would

Throw the h.o.h.

And that he would use the veto however y'all wanted to.

Nicole was for either one of you winning h.o.h. Or him winning

H.o.h., Keep me, keep you, and then vote you out.

He has no idea that I'm talking to y'all about this, but my

Loyalty is to y'all.

And I need y'all to know that.

And holly's loyalty is to y'all.

I told you up there, and I'll say it in front of nicole, the

Concern that what happens when this group of four gets to

Three?

Well, he told me that he would tell y'all that he would

Not consider taking me.

He thinks-- he said he would tell you all that he thinks I

Would win it, and that it's not smart for him to start working

With me again because he considers me the biggest threat.

When really, he thinks that him and I together, best chance of

Making it to two because we can knock you out, and then you

Won't be able to beat him and i.

Hey, are you okay?

I'm all right.

I just-- I don't know.

I just don't leak feeling stupid.

I don't like people thinking I'm stupid.

And right now, I feel stupid.

I would like to have a house meeting and have you both hash

Out what you're both spewing to us in front of everybody.

≫> -- if we're going to do that,

Can we at least do it tomorrow.

I am hearing two different stories from two different

People, and it's pissing me off.

I don't know which one of them is blowing smoke.

It could be both of them.

But, regardless, we're going to have to pick which cloud of

Smoke to walk into.

I just need a minute.

Well, look,.

--I'm just sick of being underestimated and not being

Told about stuff and other people being told stuff.

It's all right.

Over it.

Over it.

Over it.

Over it.

So over it.

Let's play "big brother."

Julie: coming up, will holly be evicted on her boyfriend's

Watch, or will tommy be joining his friend christie on the jury?

Find out, next.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: welcome back to "big

Tommy or holly.

One will join the jury, the other earns a spot in the final

Four.

Cliff and nicole have been flipping back and forth all day

On just who to evict today.

And just hours ago, nicole called a house meeting, which

Led to tommy and michie going toe to toe, leaving tonight's

Vote in flux.

We'll show you some of that fight at the end of tonight's

Show.

First, let's head to the living room and get tonight's house

Eviction under way.

Hello, houseguests.

Hi, julie!

Julie: what a day in the house.

Just another day.

Julie: well, we have some business to get to.

It is time for the live vote and eviction.

Tommy, holly, in just a few moments, cliff and nicole will

Cast their votes to evicts live.

But before they do, you each have one last chance to plead

Your case with one brief statement.

Tommy, you're up first.

First of all, I want to say u to my pretty woman family for

Giving me the time off to come live this dream.

My gosh, I love you guys.

I want to shout out to my family, the functioning

Disfunctionals.

You guys are my everything and I can't wait to come to of home to

You.

Cliff and nicole, I love you guys.

You're in a tough position this week.

I love you both and I wish you-- I just love you both.

And you, two, today was rough.

Today was game.

Today wasn't personal.

I'm rooting for everybody.

I don't know what's going to happen with this vote.

I have no idea.

But I love all of you and I wir you all the best if I am the one

To go today.

Can I do one more quick thing?

A really quick thing?

Julie: fast.

Okay, really fast.

So I remember watching this show, and I remember falling in

Love with the show, and I got to live my dream and come on the

Show.

And if this is my time to go, that's okay.

But I just wanted to say to everybody out there, the fans

That are watching the show, I tried out numerous times.

And I made it into the house.

And if you have a dream of living-- of coming into this

House, you can do it, too.

Thank you so much.

Julie: thank you.

Thank you, tommy.

Holly.

You're out of time because tommy took it.

I'm kidding!

No, no, I'm kidding, kidding!

Okay.

First and foremost, thank god for just the health and the

Strength to be here playing this game.

To my family, mom, dad, kristin, jessie, I hope so much that I've

Made you guys proud.

You inspire me every day to live bigger and be better.

And I just strive to live a life like you do.

To fish and colleen, michie, thank you so much for raising

Such a gem of a human.

This man has a heart of gold and a backbone of steel and I feel

So lucky sojust simply know him.

To fellow houseguests, I love you guys all, especially-- not

Especially, tom.

Tommy you know how much I love you.

You know we will be friends forever outside of this house.

And I adore the heck out of you.

Cliff and nicole, are you in an impossible position.

Julie: final seconds.

I have played this game with loyalty and integrity.

I see that in you, too.

I can't control much in this game.

The only thing I can control is how I played playit, and I know

I have played a gimthey can walk out, if I walk out that door, I

Will walk out proud with my head held high because that is the

Game I have played.

Also, to any girls out there who feel ordinary, know that you are

Extraordinary.

And and I am here you can be anywhere you want to be.

Okay, I'm wrapping it up.

Thank you.

Julie: it's now time for the live voting to begin.

As always, neither nominee is allowed to vote.

Michie, as current head of household, you will only vote in

The event of a tie.

One at a time nicole, then cliff, will enter the diary room

And cast their vote to evict.

Nicole, it's time.

Please go to the diary room.

Nicole is torn: keep her word to

Michie and holly, or cut this final four deal adrift.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict the terrific tommy.

Cliff will seal tommy's fate or give michie the power to

Evict.

Julie: please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict... Tommy.

Julie: thank you.

Skd-.

Julie: it's official.

With two votes to evict tommy, tommy will leave the house

Tonight.

Let's break the news to the houseguests.

Houseguests, the votes are in.

When I reveal the vote, the evicted houseguest will have

Just a few moments to say goodbye, gather his or her

Belongings, and walk out the front door.

By a vote of -, tommy, you are evicted from the "big brother"

House.

I love you.

Guys, I promise I was telling the truth.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Good job!

Go k*ll the h.o.h.

Go k*ll it.

It's all right.

Thank you.

I love you, too.

No, no, no, that's mine.

That's yourself.

I'm not taking it.

I love you guys.

Go k*ll it.

Go k*ll it.

[ Cheers and applause ].

Yeah!

Julie: what a day!

Oh, my gosh!

Julie: you said to michie when you hulgd him, "you got

Me."

He got me.

It's all false.

It's all a lie.

Julie: people at home and here tonight don't know what

You're talking about because the house-- you and michie went toe

To toe during the house meeting.

Yes.

Julie: in a nutshell, tell everyone what michie did.

Okay.

So michie came up with a big fat lie.

Last night he came up to the have-not room-- I was sleeping

In there all week-- and he said-- he just came up to the

Have-not room and did nothing.

He just walked around, and he looked like he was trying to say

Something but he didn't say anything.

I was confused.

Today he came up with a whole entire lie that I said to him

That my plan was to throw the h.o.h. And then if I were to win

The veto, I would choose him because I would win over him.

And that my plan was to backdoor cliff.

But why would I say that before the voting happened?

It was all made up, all a big fat lie.

He blew it up -- it got ugly between the two

Of you.

You were scrieg crooig.

You were screaming.

People are going to see that on sunday night's episode.

Oh, I'm so excited for you guys to see that.

Julie: do you respect his game play?

I do, I do.

I love this show so much.

And I'm not a liar or manipulator, I knew that coming

Into this, but I respect the people that do that.

And that's game.

That's game.

That's not personal.

Julie: do you think cliff and nicole did what was right to

Get farther in this game for the two of them?

Did they make a mistake picking you and not hole, in your

Opinion?

I think that time will tell.

I know they would have stood by them.

I would have never, ever, ever-- I would have happily taken third

To cliff and nicole, rather than go with jackson.

I see -- also known as michie.

As michie, yes.

I see them as the underdogs, and I always root for the underdogs.

As a fan of the show, I know as a fan of the show you root for

The underdogs and that's why I wanted to teem teamup with cliff

And nicole.

It felt really good.

It didn't work out that way and it's okay.

I had so much fun.

I had the best summer of my life.

I can't believe it's over.

Julie: it's not over, you're on the jury.

I'm on the jury!

You're amazing!

Julie: thank you.

Remind us again why did you reveal first to mickey and holly

About your secret relationship with christie and ultimately, do

You think-- do you think that helped you or hurt you?

Why did you do it again?

Why did I do it again?

I ask myself the same question all the time.

Honestly, I felt very alone in the house.

They took out each one of my allies one by one, and the walls

Close in on you and when you watch the show you don't really

Understand what it feels like to be in there --

And you thought it would help you why?

I didn't tank would help me.

I honestly kind of-- I did think it would help disassociation me

From her.

I was hearing that all of them-- she was their number one target.

And I didn't know that.

I didn't see it.

Julie: but she's not in there anymore when you did it.

I know.

Honestly, it probably was-- not probably was, it was a mistake,

For sure.

And it probably was a $, mistake.

And smo that's something I'm goi to have to live.

Julie: final seconds?

Final thoughts?

I love "big brother."

That's it.

It's as simple as that.

I'm grateful, no pun intend with the whole alliance thing.

I'm happy to be here.

Julie: real final seconds, if you had all the control, who

Would you have taken to the final two out of everyone left

Right now?

Uhm, at this point I probably would have taken nicole.

I love nicole.

I think she has played a really smart game.

I don't know what you guys are seeing but nicole does not play

An emotional game at all.

She is emotional, but she makes great game moves --

Is that also because you think you could beat her in a

Final two?

I don't know, honestly.

When you're in there -- you're in a bubble.

I see them as my equals.

You don't see what you guys see.

Julie: you're bubble conditions.

But I'm going to have more questions for you when we get

Off the air, and then I'm going to send you to the jury bubble.

And then you'll all be back here live wednesday september , the

Finale when you and the other jurors hand someone a half

Million dollars.

Amazing!

Julie: stay right there.

Thank you.

To see my after-show interview with tommy head to

Cbs.com/bigbrother later tonight.

Up next, the power is back up for grabs, and the stakes could

Not be higher.

The winner of tonight's head of household competition guarantees

Their spot in the final three on finale night.

Cliff, nicole, and holly are about to battle it out for

Hoafd.

Let's head to the backyard and gets thungz started.

Houseguests are you ready for the most important head of

Household competition to date?

Yeah.

Bring it on.

Julie: I want to point out two very important things.

Number one, tonight's winner is guaranteed at a spot at our live

Finale, and stand a -in- chance of winning a half million

Dollars.

Number two, tonight's winner will also be eligible to compete

In next week's final head of household competition.

Welcome to "bb stunt camp."

Michie, as outgoing head of household, you are not eligible

To compete tonight.

The rest of you, please take your place on your disc.

This competition is called, "crash and turn," and here's how

It works.

On my "go," you will begin to rotate.

As you spin around our movie set, your stunt skills will be

Put to the test as you navigate many obstacles along the way.

If you fall off, you are eliminated.

The last houseguest hanging on will be the new head of

Household.

Everyone understand?

Yeah.

Julie: good. Because this competition starts now.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

Right in the facing.

Right in the face.

Julie: who will outlast the others, taking a major step

Towards claiming the half-million-dollar prize?

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big brother."

Next week, the road to finale night begins.

Tune in sunday to see who will become head of household.

But if you can't wait 'til then, head to cbs.com/bblf the second

We get off the air and watch it all play out live.

Also on sunday, see the expl*sive house meeting that

Took place just hours before tonight's live broadcast.

Here's a sneak peek.

Jackson-- you told me yesterday you

Wanted nicole to win the h.o.h.

And you wanted to take out cliff because you thought he was the

Biggest target in the house why?

I just want to say something.

Holly, you preach that you are your own person, and he is

Making this up, and you're allowing it to happen!

Tommy!

Tommy.

This is k*lling me!

Tommy!

This is a lie, and you need to stand up for yourself now!

She didn't know anything about it.

Don't bring her into it.

I didn't say any of that!

I didn't say any of that!

Julie: it's clearly a sunday night episode you don't want to

Miss.

Then wednesday, the final two nominees of the summer will be

Determined by who wins the last and most powerful veto of "big

Brother."

Then, next thursday's live eviction decides which three

Houseguests punch their ticket to finale night.

Now let's rejoin the ongoing head of household competition in

The backyard.

Hello, houseguests.

How are you doing?

Hanging in there the three of you.

It would not be a movie set without a little special

Effects.

Oh, goody.

What's you got, julie?

Julie: right on cue, holly.

You asked and you received.

Thank you.

Julie: good night, and good luck, houseguests.

Bye, julie!
