[bunniefuu]

Julie: tonight, the most powerful veto of the summer will

Be the difference between making it to the jury or making it to

Finale night.

Welcome to "big brother."

[ Cheers and applause ] previously on "big brother":

Nicole, corey, paul, and victor had an alliance.

Final four!

But after corey became head of household--

Whooo!

Yeah!

The final four was no more.

I nominated you, victor, and you, paul.

I've got to take this shot.

Momma didn't raise no b*tch.

I've got to make a big move.

Reporter: in issue number three of the comic book veto,

Super safety girl saved the day for nick-corey.

Congratulations, nicole.

You won the golden power of veto.

But she didn't save paul or victor from the block.

I have decided not to use the power of veto.

When the vote were revealed --

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

Brother" house.

...victor pulled an eviction hat trick.

And the the true final four remained.

I love you all.

We made it to the final four.

Final four!

At a very bleepg important head of household competition --

Congratulations, paul, you're the new h.o.h.

...your boy earned his ticket to the final three.

Yes!

Tonight, it's the final and most important veto of the

Summer.

Who will secure their safety, and who will be evicted?

Plus, emotions explode at the jury house.

All this live on "big brother."

[ Cheers and applause ] captioning funded by cbs

Julie: good evening.

I'm julie chen, welcome to "big brother."

Tonight, paul will make the final nominations of the summer.

Then he will be joined by james, corey, and nicole to fight it

Out in the final veto competition.

The winner of that p.o.v. Will have the chance to change the

Nominations live, and in the process, they will determine who

Will cast the sole vote to evict.

So who will win the most important veto of the season and

Grab all of the power?

We'll find out tonight, live.

But first, with the finale just a week away, emotions run high

As tears of happiness and sadness flood the "big brother"

House.

The correct answer is seconds, which means,

Congratulations, paul.

You're the new h.o.h.

Yes!

Julie: corey, please give him the key to the h.o.h.

Bedroom!

Yes, yes, yes!

Good job, buddy.

Congrats, buddy, congrats.

Good job, paul.

Good job, buddy.

Oh, my god!

Good job, man.

Oh!

You worked hard for that one.

Man, that was tough!

It's just been such a wild season, man, and I've had it

Tough since day one.

Six times on the block, getting myself in and out of situations,

Talking my way through things.

To see it all pay off like this is just crazy.

Because I never would have thought that this crazy son of a

g*n over here would make it this far in this game.

Oh, my god!

Oh!

That one's for you, victor!

That one's for you, buddy!

Nice try, nicole.

You did good!

So last week I won h.o.h.

Nicole won the veto.

We got victor the comp beast out of house.

But what happens moments later?

His best friend, paul, wens h.o.h.

Man, in this game, you go from here to zero pretty quick.

Oh, man.

That is so insane.

Just like that, someone's guaranteed final three.

Yup.

It's crazy.

That is freaking awesome.

You're in a good spot one second, and the next second you

Are fighting for your life.

I know paul's very upset with corey and I getting victor out.

He'd be crazy not to put me and core up on the block.

And literally, my life depend on this veto competition.

I have, like, the weirdest mexicos right now.

Diewrkd that was crazy.

Like I want to throw up.

I want to cry.

I want to laugh.

And I want to scream all at the same time.

I think you did % of that.

Paul wins h.o.h.

You know what?

I'm super excited.

I got nothing but respect for the kid.

But I just hope what me and paul talked about last night is still

In effect.

Dude, me and victor have been loyal to everybody we've been a

Part of in this game.

Well, dude, you know corey and nicole jumped ship on me and

Natalie.

And they literally just showed you all exactly what they did to

Us.

Well, it looks like we were both [ bleep ] over in the

Situation.

Now we're going to have to piet.

We have to fight or else they win the game.

I'm trying on get to the end.

I'm telling you right now, strategically, and you I if, if

We don't work together, we would lose, foe matter what.

Right.

This is a great scenario for me because paul knows if he

Wants to split this couple up, he's going to need a little

Backup.

All right, man.

Good job, final three.

Good job, paul!

Final three, bro!

What up?

Yo your boy's gotta do what he's gotta do, and step one, step one

Is there.

Step two, I've got to make sure that either james or me win

Thatviateo so we can split up nicole and corey.

In order to make it right with victor, I gotta send one of them

Home.

Hopefully, by win had gone spot met top three, I could, ah, make

It up for the both of us.

This is nomination ceremony.

It is my responsibility as head of household to nominate two

Houseguests for eviction.

I will turn two keys to lock in my nomination, and the faces

Will appear on the memory wall.

The first houseguest I have nominated is...

The next houseguest I have nominated is...

I work my lucky sweater.

I haven't seen that face all season.

I've nominated you, core, and you, nicole.

You've proven to be the powerful couple of the season.

You guys made itap as someone who is secured in the final

Three it's as impressive as it is scary, and beating both of

You is going to be tough.

So strategically, this makes the most sense, and let's finish

This game, guys.

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

Thanks, paul, for not nominating me.

It's always good not to be on the block.

But, honestly, it's like we're all on the block.

Ow!

Except paul.

And we're all fighting for that veto, because whoever wins it is

Going to be the deciding vote on who goes to jury.

I almost made it all freaking season.

Nicole is so pissed.

Oh, man.

Nicole!

I knew me and nicole were going to go up on the block, but

Nominations don't matter this week.

It's all about the veto and if me or nicole don't win, one of

Us will be going home.

All you had to do was get one more question right.

Too soon?

I should probably go talk to her.

Julie: coming up, we drop in on the most expl*sive jury house

Ever.

Then it's the final veto competition.

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.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

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

Brother."

Last week, natalie was evicted from the big brother house, but

Her arrival at the jury house was quickly overshadowed when an

Already tense jury erupted.

Michelle, who are you painting?

It's my new creature.

It's nicole's face on a serpent body.

Corey!

There's been a lot of tension in the house, honestly.

The house is still divided, but now it's a great divide.

Have zakiyah and paulie on one side.

You have me and bridgette on the the other, and michelle is

Definitely a breath of fresh air.

She's a blast to be around so I'm glad she's here.

You guys, who do you think the next juror is going to be?

Maybe paul or natalie.

I don't want to see natalie.

Michelle, I was not expecting to see you last week.

Me, either.

Anybody I can think of coming through the door it's probably

Going to be complete shock.

After a week of just grieving over my eviction, I'm so excited

To see who else's dreams are crushed.

Next jury member, hurry your butt off and get here.

I have a ton of questions to ask you.

It's blatantly obvious who I want to see in the house.

Corey!

Hey, guys!

Oh, no!

I'm % blown away that natalie came walking through the

Door.

They were able to convince somebody to vote out a

Nonthreat.

That's the game of "big brother."

Natalie, I am literally about to cry.

I know!

It feels great to be an official jury member.

I get to vote and decide who wins half a million dollars.

I'm going to cry.

I need some tissues.

Ime angry.

No, be happy, guys.

Ow!

This comp hurt my fingers so bad.

Oh, no!

All right, vic, come on.

I knew at this point, guys, fididn't win this h.o.h. Or

James didn't win it, I knew I would be going home.

I felt it.

Yes!

Lewis!

Congratulations, victor, you are the the new head of

Household.

See how happy nicole is?

She was, like, deep breath.

She wanted victor to win this one.

Love the kid's passion though.

The fers houseguest I have nominated is... The next

Houseguest I have nominated is...

I knew at this point that I was the main target.

You were the main target?

I just don't-- I still don't understand how you're a bigger

Threat than james or paul to then?

I knew that paul felt betrayed by me?

P.

Corey, here you go.

Good job.

To be honest with you guys, I would have used the veto on

James, too.

And no one bees it.

That's so sweet.

I just felt-- something paulie didn't do.

It's okay-- if we're going to talk about

My game decisions.

No, i-- it's not you, natalie.

Did I not have your back in this house you two passive aggressive

Girls.

The second zakiyah chose to have my back again and talked to me

Again those girls have been treating her like she's the

Worst person in the world.

I don't like that.

If their hatred of me is through I roof, I have no problem with

That.

What are you talking about.

Paul you have to be at least six feet to talk to me.

Shut the hell up.

Get hell out of here.

Da'vonne, rousseau classless.

I am very classy.

I am so sickey of you.

That's it.

Paulie, you are an arrogant.

And I do know you only talk down to women.

I haven't heard you buck upon up to a man, yet.

Were you in the room whennive at james' throat.

Da'vonne-- don't ever get it twisted.

I'll get it twisted because you are a punk.

Don't ever get it twisted.

Don't each get it twisted.

You're a classic little punk.

I ain't getting it twisted.

No fear in me, none.

You can can punk her a*s, but you can't punk me.

Run back.

I will run.

Run back.

What kind of example are you setting for your daughter.

Don't you bring up my daughter!

Don't bring up my daughter.

Okay!

This is the one that you lay with?

This one right here?

You're good, sweetheart.

You're good.

Don't bring up my daughter!

I love it.

Don't bring up my daughter.

I already did.

Don't bring up my daughter.

Zakiyah, I love you, I think you're beautiful.

I think that you deserve more than this.

Just leave me alone, please.

Paulie, you disgust me.

You disgust yourself.

She right.

You are a b*tch!

Yeah, okay.

You are a weak-a*s b*tch.

I don't even know what you're saying.

You're making no sense now.

He made you look like an idiot.

What does it have to do with me?

You ain't got nothing to say, either, bridge.

God!

You make my skin boil.

I don't-- I don't want to do this, no, no.

You're supposed to be my friend?

You're supposed to be-- I don't play those games!

Julie: up next, victor joins a fractured jury house.

Then the final, most powerful veto is up for grabs.

Who will join paul as a member of the final three?

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big brother."

Last night, victor became the seventh member of the jury.

So what happens when he surprises a jury house already

On edge?

This grill get so much use.

After having a few days to kind of think about what

Happened last week, I'm very disappointed in myself that I

Let paulie pull me out of character.

So I've just been living.

I don't deal with paulie and zakiyah.

I let them live their lives.

If those two upon to separate themselves I'm not chasing

Nobody.

Are you okay over there, paulie?

Just a the lot of smoke coming up into my mouth right

Now.

The mood right now in the jury house, I mean, I feel like

There's a little bit of tension.

I get along with zakiyah.

If everybody else wants to distance themselves and try to

Seclude us, it's not my problem.

All right, guys, let's tack a poll.

Who do you think is going to be coming through those doors next?

I'm for so I'm staying out of this.

Yeah, just cook your burgers.

I think who comes in here will have a lot more information

About what is going on inside the house.

Oh, my gosh, anyone but james I want to say today.

Who don't you want to see?

I don't want to see victor.

I would like to see victor and james go far.

Yeah, same.

I definitely want to see victor sitting at the end, %.

Yeah.

Oh!

No!

Oh, my god!

What's up, guys?

I didn't want this at all.

I'm about to cry.

Victor!

Oh, da'.

Victor, I got to say, you created history this season of

"Big brother" by coming back in the house twice.

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ applause ]</span> third time's a charm.

They finally got me out of the house.

I do feel kind of sad because I felt like I had a connection

With corrie and nicole.

But no regrets from me.

I'm happy.

No more stress.

So who's responsible?

Why don't I just not tell you and we go watch it.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Wooo!

Yeah!

Wooo!

Bam.

So corey wins the h.o.h.

And everything should be good at this point.

You know, I had a final four alliance, so it was supposed to

Be me, corey, nicole, and paul.

So I'm assuming that either myself or paul is going to go up

As a pawn against james, and happy final four has the power.

Momma didn't raise no b*tch.

I gotta make a big move.

He said that?

He just confirms that maybe that final four wasn't real.

One of us is going home.

One of us has to win the veto.

Wow.

B.b. Comic [ applause ] da'!

Big meech!

My comic book character is very accurate.

I do cry a lot.

I do vomit a lot.

I mean I don't have a onesie, but maybe I'll get a pink onesie

When I get home.

Congratulations, nicole.

You won the golden power of veto.

Wooo!

Damn, nicole won.

He won h.o.h., She won veto.

That's how you do it.

That damn nicole, she's playing one hell of a game.

I'm not a hater.

You've got to give credit where credit is do.

I'm going to end up giving her this money, I know it!

Nicole wins the veto, and i-- I feel like I'm going home.

It's easy just to vote me out.

I've been out twice already, why not a third time?

Julie: victor, you are evicted from the "big brother"

House.

I knew it.

You played one hell of a game.

Do you think paul is going to get revenge for you?

What I think paul will try to do is link up with james, and

Try to get out corey and nicole.

Paul's my "ride or die."

He's been the most loyal to me since day one so I definitely

Want him to win.

So right now I'm rooting for james and paul.

So.

Who is the first target, corey or nicole?

I have no idea at this point.

It's really I guess what they're thinking is who can I beat in

The final two?

James played an excellent social game, in my opinion.

And nicole flew under the radar, and now she's win, competitions.

Corey stepped his game up socially, and stepped his game

Up during the competitions.

I have a huge decision to make as a jury member.

The veto is more important.

Whoever wins the veto sends the person home.

So I don't know.

It's a toss-upa this point.

Julie: up next, it's the veto competition that could change

Everything.

Stay with us.

[ 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.

It's time to find out who will win the final veto.

Hello, sports fans.

It's time for the last veto competition of the season.

Today, the pranksters, the pelicans, the reindeer, and the

Coconuts will take to the the field.

I walk out in the backyard and I see a baseball field.

Let's go, reindeer.

I'm thinking this is right up my alley.

This could be my field of dreams.

I hate baseball and I hate numbers. This is not my comp.

Pelicans!

Let's go, reindeer.

Let's go, coconut.

Let's go pranksters.

My team, we just started out, man.

We kind of suck.

Okay, players in each at-bat, I'll reveal an event that

Happened in the "big brother" house.

Your job is to figure out what day o the event happened.

Day by stepping on first base, two days by stepping on second

Base, three days by stepping on second place, and an additional

Day by stepping on four.

Once you have number you want, give the umpire a high-five tow

See if you're right.

If the day is correct, your number will flash.

Answer incorrectly, and your umpire will reset your counter

To zero.

Zero.

The last player to answer correctly in each round will

Earn an out.

Three outs and you're out of the game.

Final player remaining will win the golden power of veto.

Are you ready to play "cover your bases?"

Let's go!

This is my last chance to protect corrie and I this week.

I didn't win h.o.h., So now I have to go out and win this

Veto.

Whoever wins this veto is basically evicting the next

Person to the jury house.

Paul has h.o.h., But, honestly, the power is in the

Veto.

So if nicole or I win this thing, we're going to be final

Three.

Let's do this.

Your boy has not won a veto all summer.

Me or paul have to win that veto or I might as well pack my bags

And head to jury.

This veto is super important because if I'm stuck with nicole

And corey in the final three, chances are I'm going to lose.

Your boy has to hit a home run and win this veto.

On what day did the last category four team member leave

House?

Bye, meech!

[ Cheers and applause ] ed.

, Of course, I remember day .

It haunt me to this day.

That's the day I lost my friend pablo.

So once you figure out the right number of days, you have

To run around the bases and hit the right buttons.

You get one from first base, two from second base, three from

Third base, and four from home plate.

Once you hit home plate you have to make sure to tag the umpire

To lock it in.

Here's the thing, three outs and it's game over.

I'm pretty sure michelle left on day

[ Buzzer ] man I got the wrong day and I've

Got to start all over again.

This sucks.

[ Bell ] [ bell ].

James you're out!

You have out.

Yeah, I know.

On what day did the house get trashed in "hide and go veto?"

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ cheers ]</span> this comp sucks.

First of all, you've got ton your days.

Second of all, you've got to run around the square a million

Times and get dizzy.

Then you've got to step on the right numbers and add them up

And do math.

I hate baseball.

I hate math.

I hate days.

And guess who doesn't?

Core, mr. Tall, dark, and handsome baseball star.

[ Buzzer ] [ bell ]

[ Bell ] [ buzzer ]

[ Bell ].

James you're out.

You have two outs.

On what day did tiffany first go on the block?

We got this.

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ cheers ]</span> [ buzzer ]

[ Buzzer ].

My strategy for this composition it I don't have one.

I don't really know the days.

I'm in big trouble.

[ Bell ] [ bell ]

[ Bell ].

James you're out!

You have three outs.

You're out of the game.

That what happens when you show up to a final exam and

Don't study.

James sucks.

He's out immediately.

Once again, your boy's got to win another comp, and it's all

On me, me, me, me!

Great.

On what day did the house encounter internet trolls?

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ cheers ]</span> as soon as I hear trolls I'm

Thinking day .

I to hate trolls but I do like elves

[ Bell ] [ bells ].

Nicole, you're out!

You have one out.

You guys are fast.

On what day did you dunk a hunk?

Come on.

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ cheers ]</span> who can forget

Mr. Spectacular.

I don't know what he does!

[ Buzzer ] come on, man.

Come on, paul.

Paul, I'm rooting for you.

You're all I got.

Please get a base hit, baby.

[ Bell ] [ bell ].

Corey, you're out!

You have one out.

On what day did the secret room get discovered?

Wooo!

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ cheers ]</span> I'm sorry, but I can't run

And think of these numbers at the same time.

You know, my best strategy is to think of the number and then

Run.

It's very frustrating.

Just give me a white board and let me write these numbers down.

[ Bell ].

Wooo!

I'm not really sure what day the secret room was discovered.

I think it's day .

Let's give it a shot and see what happens.

[ Bell ].

Nicole, you're out!

You have two outs.

Woo!

Nicole, I knew she'd crack under pressure.

And guess what?

I'm all out of friendship!

I have two out.

Corey has one out, and paul has zero.

I need to pull this together.

Otherwise I'm going to be heading to the showers.

On what day did the fourth care package arrive?

Big meech!

Oh, my god!

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ cheers ]</span> this is the most difficult

Competition I've played this summer.

And it's the most important.

I can hear these guys next to me just, like, stomping through

This competition.

And it's making me feel, like, intimidated.

[ Bell ] [ bell ].

Nicole, you're out!

Wooo!

You have the three outs.

You're out of the game!

Dang it.

I get my third out, and I want to freaking cry.

I literally just freaking lost again.

And I'm just really hoping that corey can pull out this win.

If paul wins, one of us is going home.

Boom, nicole!

Time to hit the benches.

Looks like it's down to your man versus your boy.

Let's go, core.

On what day did paulie bake his first apple pie in honor of

Zingbot?

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ cheers ]</span> zingbot came on day , so

I'm going to enter .

[ Buzzer ].

Paulie didn't make his first pie until the day after zing

Pot, so this sucks.

[ Bell ] whoa!

Corey, you're out!

You have two outs.

Oh, this is amazing!

Corey has two outs.

I have zero outs.

I'm about to finish this game and send him to the showers!

I've got two outs.

My back's against the wall, but it's not over yet.

It's rally time.

On what day about santa's reindeer visit the b.b. House.

Oh, my gosh!

<Span tts:fontstyle="italic">[ cheers ]</span> my mascot is the reindeer.

Of course I'm going to know when santa came.

Thanks, santa.

That's day .

[ Bell ] paul, you're out!

You have one out.

Good job, corey.

On what day can you play b.b.

Comics?

My legs are tired.

I'm tired of this math.

Your boy's losing steam here, and I feel like corey's just

Getting started.

[ Bell ].

Let's go!

Good job, core.

Come on!

Paul, you're out.

You have two outs.

This is the most important veto of this entire season.

Corey's got two strikes.

Your boy's got two strikes.

And guess what, if I lose, corey's taking nicole to the

Final three and then I have to, both of them to win.

Paul supagainst the ropes.

I'm one question away from winning the comp.

On what day did the the double eviction take place?

Zakiyah, bridgette, you are evicted from the "big brother"

House.

As soon as I hear double eviction, I know that's day ,

So I am flying around these bases.

I am going as a matter of fact I can.

I'm about to have a heart attack.

Come on, corey.

Please pull this out.

You got this, paul.

I hear feet running around on the bases and they're burning up

Some turf, and I just know that if corey wins this competition,

I'm done.

Your boy's got to step on those plates carefully and make

Sure all my days are adding up properly.

I'm rushing around the bases, I'm not even looking at the

Counter.

I just know I can beat paul if I go as a matter of fact I can

Because he is breathing down my neck.

[ Buzzer ] what!

[ Bell ] whoa!

Whoa!

Sorry, core, you have three outs.

You're out of the game.

Congratulations, paul.

You have won the final veto of summer!

Y I just finished playing my first baseball game ever, and

Look what I got.

I get to choose who comes up to the final three with me.

I have all the power this week.

Wooo!

One number wasn't when you looked.

I didn't even look to be honest.

Yeah, it sucks.

I just didn't want to go out like that, you know?

Just more so thinking it was just do or die, you know?

I'm probably going home.

Maybe even nicole.

Either way, it's a lose-lose.

So...

I'm sad but I'm also angry at myself for not, you know,

Winning this.

It's the last veto.

It's definitely not how I wanted it to go down.

This is better than the world series.

Paul pulled out the "w," and hopefully he keeps to his word

And secures my the spot in the final three with him.

That's for you, pablo.

That was for you, bud.

Julie: with that, paul grabs the veto but will he use

It or will he keep it giving james the sole vote to evict and

A ticket to finale night?

And we won't just be crowning the winner of "big brother" next

Week.

Your favorite houseguest could win $,.

Here's how to vote.

It's time for america's vote.

The "big brother" houseguests have fought hard.

They've laughed.

Cried.

And played their hearts out.

And now you get to award your favorite houseguest $, in

Cash.

The winner of the special prize will be announced during the

Live season finale of "big brother" on wednesday, september

It's now time for the live veto meeting and eviction.

Will the veto be used?

And who will be leaving the game?

Let's head to the living room and find out.

Hello, houseguests.

Hey, julie!

Julie: well, it is now time for the live veto meeting,

To be immediately followed by the live vote and

Eviction.

Paul, as the winner of the power of veto, you may use it to save

Corey or nicole, or you can choose to leave your nominations

In place.

Please stand at the head of the living room, face the two

Nominees, and make your decision.

Nicole and corey, I have respect for both of you for

Sticking together this entire season and giving me one hell of

A fight this week.

I hope you understand the strategy in my decision.

Much love to both of you, but I choose not to use the power of

Veto.

Julie: thank you, paul.

Since paul did not use the veto, obviously the nominations remain

The same.

Nicole, corey, for one of you this will be your last day.

I would like to give you each a final chance to address james

Before he casts the the sole vote to evict.

Corey, you're first.

Julie, looking great as always.

Mom, dad, kelly, charlie, grace, mis you guys.

Houseguests, I'm about as prepared for this as james was

For today's comp.

I'm going to make it short and tweet.

Paul, friendship, paul, to follow up your last speech.

Yeah, I did play baseball, I might have struck out on the

Last call but I'm not about to go out of this house without

Reaching first base.

Okay!

Julie: thank you, corey.

Nicole, it's your turn.

Oh, crap.

Mom, dad, jessie, I love you, miss you, can't wait to see you.

Congrats on making final three.

As sole vote, I anticipate you're going to do what you're

Going to do, what's best for your game, regardless of what I

Say.

Corey, the best move of my day was asking you to be my ride or

Die since day one.

You're so handsome I'm forgetting my speech.

You're even more beautiful on the inside.

And it was an honor to play this game with you.

And I'm going to miss annoying you every day.

Julie: lawyer, thank you, nicole.

Thank you, both.

Just a reminder, the evicted houseguest will have only a few

Moments to say gone, gather his or her belongings, and walk out

Front door.

James, please stand at the head of the living room, face the two

Nominees, and cast your vote to evict.

Congratulations, guys, on making it this far.

Corey, nicole, I love you both.

You're tough competitors.

Had fun all season long doing the showmance with you all.

But, corey, I'm going to have to evict you to give me and paul a

Chance.

Julie: it's official, corey, you have been evicted

From the "big brother" house.

From the "big brother" house.

Good luck, guys.

Love you, core.

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: how are you?

Very good.

Julie: have a seat.

Congratulations.

Wow.

Oh, corey!

My speech-- I'm sorry.

No, you did good.

You did good.

Oh!

He looks good in black and white.

He looks good no matter what!

Oh, man!

Guys, they might be asking us some stuff as the final three.

Julie: all right, corey, tonight you were on the block

Next to nicole.

Why do you think james chose to evict and you not her?

Honestly, I don't know.

You know, it feels like it's one of james' worst pranks ever.

I thought he was my boy.

Julie: so you're surprised to be here with me.

Yeah, I'm a little bit surprised.

I love james.

We've been like this for a long time now and I had his back and

We trusted each other.

I'm happy for nicole.

She totally deserves in the final three seat and no regrets.

Julie: did he make the right move for his game?

Yes and no.

I mean, it's good for his game in some ways.

Hopefully, you know, nicole goes in there and beat both those

Guys.

Julie: we'll see.

Let's talk about in the beginning of the game, you were

Laying low, you didn't win much.

And the last few weeks you came on strong, making big moves,

Winning competitions.

Yeah.

Was that your strategy?

Yeah, going into this game, one, if there were any vets team

Up with them.

I knew I would be a big target.

I'm athletic.

I you knew I had a pretty good chance of winning comps.

I laid low for a while and double eviction came around and

It was time to turn it up.

And james threw us to the wolves and I had to win the comps and

Since then I was running with it.

Julie: you were in a romantic relationship in the

House with nicole.

What do you hope becomes of this relationship once the game is

Over?

Nicole and I are going to be best friends no matter what for

A very long time.

She is the greatest girl, you know.

I expect great things of her in the house.

Julie: continue the romance?

Oh, yeah, possibly, you know, we'll see where it goes from

Here.

I know we'll be talking a long time after this.

So we'll see where it goes.

Julie: we'll see you back here a week from tonight,

September , when you and the rest of the jury vote on a

Winner.

Thank you, corey.

Thanks, julie.

Stay right there.

The final three has been determined and nicole, james,

And paul are headed to the final jury night.

And don't forget, tune in tomorrow night for "thursday

Night football," as the new york jets take on the buffalo bills
