Previously on "big brother" jessica received the halting hex
Inside the den of temptation.
Accept this temptation and halting hex will allow you the
Next four evictions.
Oh, my god.
She warned the house about her mysterious power.
I'm happy that mechanic decided to give me the final
Temptation, that I have the power to keep cody and I safe
For a few weeks.
Paul quickly doubted her claim.
Something sounds fishy.
I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
He came up with a plan to expose the truth.
I think she's bluffing.
Right.
At the first-ever temptation competition, jason finished
Last, making him a special third nominee.
Jason, that means you will be on the watch!
The cowboy will soon be joined by jody.
I've nominated you, jessica and cody.
Nothing has been revealed.
Jess and cody confronted paul about his nominations.
What I have is a new thing.
You didn't see it coming.
Dude, calm down.
And the marine went on the attack.
You cannot tell jessica to lower her voice.
Leave this room.
Leave this room.
What are you going to do about it?
Nothing.
Leave this room.
Jessica was not happy about her hot-headed honey.
Am I going to have to deal with this in reality too, you
Being a hot-head getting into fights with everyone?
I'm sorry.
You're not capable of giving me what I want.
Not wanting jess to use the hex, paul came up with a plan.
I think she might let him kick her out of the game.
So the troops went to work.
It ensures that we trust you.
I'm associated with you.
I'm really torn.
Feeling out of options, cody wanted to sacrifice his game.
I don't want her to waste this on me.
That's her best chance.
That's her best chance.
If I can save on a grenade, save jessica's game, I will.
Jess wasn't ready to let him jump on his sword.
I'd jump on a grenade for you.
I don't need that.
Paul made it rain gold.
I got to somehow use this power to entice jessica not to
Use her hex so I can send cody out of this game once again.
Hoping to turn jessica and cody, paul used an ace up his
Sleeve.
In the first few weeks of this game, cody told matt the
Only reason he wanted could team them in the house so they will
Take you and raven out.
So she considered sending her showman out the door.
If I decided not to use the hex, there's things I want in
Exchange.
What do you want?
Not go on the block.
I want whoever wins to take out alex.
Sure, let's make this deal!
Tonight will jess go through her plan to cut cody or let love
Prevail and use the halting hex?
Plus, call your friends, because it's going to be a crazy night.
You put me on the block!
That's what you said.
All this live on "big brother"!
[Cheers and applause] julie: good evening.
I'm julie chen.
Welcome to "big brother."
The threat of the halting hex has made this one of the most
expl*sive, most dramatic weeks in the history of the game.
With this mysterious power looming, tensions are at an
All-time high.
Will jessica stop tonight's eviction keeping everyone safe
Or will she keep her deal with paul, saving the hex and letting
The house and her boyfriend cody out the front door?
We'll soon find out.
But first paul,'s bombshell news to jessica has left her at a
Crossroads, to use the hex or not to use the hex.
That is the question.
Cody and I have been on the rocks a lot lately.
Paul told me information about cody that's not really helping.
Apparently cody told matt that the reason he wanted to keep
Jason and alex in the house was so they could eventually take me
Out.
Want to come talk to me?
I'm not entirely sure that the information that he's giving
Me is % factual, because paul likes to play mind games.
What do I need to know about what cody said to you?
Cody said to me?
Yeah.
What did cody say to you at the beginning of the game?
Umm, I don't really want to get into it, to be honest with
You.
We don't need to discuss this right now.
Apparently it's something I need to know.
It's not something that's relevant at this point, though.
Why is it not relevant anymore?
Five weeks later, and things have changed.
So what did h did he get say beginning?
If you want don't want to tell me, that's fine.
If you want to tell me, that's fine too.
I don't want to.
Fine.
Thank you.
I know that a lot has changed, but I'm angry.
I just need to talk to cody and get his side of the story.
When my mom watches this show, is she going to love you
Or hate you?
Why do you ask that?
What are these people telling you?
Umm, that your original allegiance to jason and alex, so
That they would be the ones to take out raven and i.
Never.
Jessica, I swear on everything that I've never had an alliance
With them, ever to take you out, or --
You never said we should beat jason and alex in the game, to
Take out raven and jess?
Not at all, not at all.
I mean, are you looking at working with alex and jason like
Long term?
There's no way I could go after jess.
There's no way I could go after raven.
Somebody has to take them out.
Can't be us.
All they have in this game is my loyalty.
I'd do anything in this game for them.
You're lying to my face.
[Unintelligible] what?
What are you saying?
What are you doing?
Cody?
Okay, cool.
Good talk.
Jessica laid out a deal where she would potentially consider
Not using the hex, and send cody home a second time this game.
She asked me to get everybody on board.
So sure, I'll get everyone to agree to your terms.
Let's make this deal happen.
Her temptation is, if she uses the hex, said the only way
She wouldn't use the hex, if she's guaranteed she's not on
The block for two weeks, and she wants alex out of this game.
All we have to do is go, yeah, okay, sure.
So now I got to let the rest of my side know, especially
Alex, because this deal involves her.
Is that the only way I won't use my hex, if I'm promised
Safety for two weeks.
She said taking alex out.
Jessica wants me out.
No surprise there.
She's wanted me out since day one, because jessica is the
Typical mean girl, insecure, jealous, and knows I'm a better
Athlete than she is.
So bring it.
As far as mark and elena goes, I want them to feel
They're in on plan, so I'll tell them about it.
What I can't tell them is we have no real intention of
Sending alex home.
Jessica won't use the hex, and can send cody home, as long
As of us agree we'll take alex out.
I've been trying to build a good relationship with cody, but
It's built a wedge between me and elena.
If it means he's out to get close with elena again, then I'm
On board.
I can make what you want happen, guaranteed.
All right.
If I can pull this off, get jessica not to use the hex, it
Might be the biggest move I've ever made in this game ever.
Give me a little bit.
Give me a little bit.
Am I person you thought I was?
I have a thousand percent trust and loyalty in you, like a
Thousand percent.
You're incredible on so many levels.
You're incredible on so many levels.
Do you not want to be with me anymore?
You shouldn't.
Are you done with the game, or are you done with me?
There's a difference.
If it doesn't work out, I want to know
If it doesn't work out, I want to know
I tried everything.
I haven't committed to this deal yet with paul, because it comes
Down to whether cody and I have more fight in us.
This deal could seal cody's fate in the game, but not taking it
Could potentially seal mine.
Kumbaya?
Kumbaya big style.
Jessica and I have been talking, and in order for her to feel
Comfortable not to use her hex this week, she wants two things,
Which I think all of us are on board with.
If I am going to avoid using the hex, the only thing I want
In exchange is two weeks of not being on the block, period, and
I want alex out of this game.
So whoever wins the hoh, I want that to be the target.
Done.
There's a lot of factors weighing in on this decision.
If cody stays, I have my allies still in this house.
If cody goes, I'll definitely get something out of this for my
Game.
Getting alex out of this house is way too juicy to pass up.
If I'm giving you guys this, I want her out.
Deal.
Done.
Did I really pull this off?
She's got to use the hex and we get to get cody out?
Whew!
Everybody, it's time for the veto meeting.
Everybody, it's time for the veto meeting.
This is veto meeting.
I've nominated cody and jessica for eviction.
Because jason came in last place in the temptation competition,
He's the third nominee.
If he's taken off the block with the veto, there's no replacement
Nominee.
I want to take jason out to ensure he doesn't go home.
If I pull jessica off the block, maybe she feels more comfortable
With our deal.
Maybe that will be just enough to convince jessica not to use
The hex.
I want to give everyone a chance to tell me why I should
Use the veto to save them.
Jason, you go first.
I am up against people that may not have a genuine good
Personality, genuinely don't like people, and genuinely don't
Want to participate.
And then there's another one caught in the middle.
I would love it if you would use the veto on me to pull me down
And use me as a vote against the target.
That would free up the middle person so she has room to work
As well.
Please, paul, use the veto on me to pull me down.
Jessica, now it's your turn.
World peace.
Cody, now it's your turn.
I have no speech.
Well, that's shocking.
I've decided to use the power veto on jason.
Yeah, buddy.
Yeah!
This veto meeting is adjourned.
Thank you, buddy, I didn't know if you were going to do
That or not.
I thought it was pretty obvious.
Stud muffin.
I made this deal with the majority of the house, however
I'm never going to be okay with anybody verbally attacking cody.
So even if he's going home I'm not going to stand for it.
All of that was very entertaining.
Yeah.
Making a mockery of the game is really funny.
Come on, jessica, I thought we had a deal, but you just
Standing up there disrespecting me, laughing throughout the veto
Meeting, really makes me wonder if this deal is on or if it's
Off.
Making a mockery of himself.
Julie: up next, things get heated when jessica's confidence
Is shaken.
Then will there be a live vote and eviction.
With the house in flux, anything could happen.
[Cheers and applause] welcome back to "big brother."
Jessica may have agreed to not use the hex, but will the house
Be able to win her trust as much as cody has won her heart?
What do you think's going to happen?
What do you think's going to happen?
Guaranteed.
Lost weeks.
I'm telling you what that means.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's heavy.
It is heavy.
I didn't think it was that heavy.
You can put your hand, punch like a brass knuckle, put your
Fingers through there, and then boom.
That's beautiful.
I like it.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, kevy.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah.
Listen, when I walk into a room, and I see jason go like
This -- oh, no, he's talking to
Kevin.
I don't know what you're talking about, but when you're
Asking me to -- no, no, no.
No, no, no.
I don't know what you guys were talking about, but it looks
Really bad.
No.
We were talking about the veto.
Wait.
I'm letting you know, that was really sketchy.
The last thing under want for me is to feel that way.
Let me talk to you.
No.
I need a second, because that literally pissed me off.
I'm sorry.
It looked really bad.
Jessica.
Can I talk to you, please?
Please, please.
Let me tell you what he was doing.
So I was making them comfortable.
The veto, how heavy it was.
Nothing is going on.
Can I ask you a question?
Yes.
Why are you so against me in this game?
Look, cody, I love you as a person, but the whole house is
Against you.
So you're going with the whole house?
I mean, it's fine if that's the reason.
Yeah.
Now it's personal attacks against me and jessica to break
Me and jessica up.
I'm not trying to do that.
You're your own person in this game.
You can do whatever you want.
Oh, god, cody, stop.
Every person in this house has lied to me.
What I just walked in on, you looked involved.
Nothing against you, I swear.
First jason, jabs at cody, and raven is talking to people
She typically doesn't talked to, and it's been whispered.
I'm done playing "oh, I didn't see anything."
Bite me.
As far as I'm concerned, this deal is officially dead.
She's going run and tell paul.
I love it.
If he thought he was going to convince me not to induce the
Hex, he's going to freak out.
What were they saying?
That I was talking to jason and kevin, jason went like this,
And she "idn't appreciate it.
She pulled you in to tell you that?
Yeah.
Who was doing the talking?
Cody.
Cody was doing all the talking?
She was, like, "I don't understand why you're against
Me."
Do you mind if I stand up for
Do you mind if I stand up for
You?
That will make it worse.
No, no.
Ain't going to be nothing.
Jessica, I thought we had a deal.
I thought everything was fine, but from my observation it seems
Like you're not interested in this deal anymore.
I need to find out for sure.
Do you want to talk about chaos?
Sure.
Come on in.
Why has chaos erupted?
I have no idea.
Where this game is being taken is completely out of line.
You're playing a psychological game with people
In this house.
Define how I'm playing a psychological game with people.
I think you have power over people, because you're in a
Veteran in this game, and they seek approval from you, and I
Think you use that.
Don't think I'm completely ignorant to everything going on
In this house.
People do what benefits them in this game.
I know that.
Trust me.
You have a temptation, you have the power.
Do what you want with it.
I'm going to use the temptation, because this isn't
The only person I trust in this house.
Okay.
I'm sorry, paul, but you can't control me.
I'm not in this house to play along to whatever you dictate.
If you want to play this game, you want an enemy, I'm right
Here.
Thanks for ping-pong.
You're going back on your word, going to use the hex,
Protect cody.
That's fine.
Now it's time to bring the chaos.
Game on.
Julie: up next, the house erupts.
Stay with us.
[Cheers and applause]
[Cheers and applause] julie: welcome back to "big
The hex may very well save jessica and cody, but this
Temptation has torn the house apart.
She's going to stand up for what she believes is right.
If what she believes is right is standing up for a bully and
Coward who can't stand up for themselves, then let's play big
Brother.
Good job.
Turn it up to .
To a ?
To a .
Jessica, you've been threatening us with your hex all week long.
Go ahead an use it!
We're not afraid of it anymore!
How about I turn up the heat and see how you respond?
Jessed she will not use the hex and turn her back on cody as
Long as we can get you out of this game.
Excellent.
Hello, friends.
Guess what time it is.
It's circus time.
I'm going to have fun with cody!
One, two, three -- ♪ cody, we want to have fun.
One, two, three -- ♪ cody, we want to have fun.
Come join the circus.
It's a madhouse!
Cody, do you want to come out and answer questions?
Cody can't talk because he has a muzzle on.
Are you willing to come out and play?
What do you want to know?
Why me?
Because you nominated me.
Hmm.
We saved you.
Everyone else wanted you out.
People are breathing down my neck because they wanted you to
Go home.
Everybody here wanted you to go home.
You guys want to ask me questions?
I'm standing right here.
Ask me questions.
Where are my ears?
Weeks ago jessica stole my cat ears, and then blamed it on
Raven.
Did you have my ears?
No.
On the block, you think I trusted -- she just said every
Single person in this house wanted me out, every single
Person in this house, including you.
You just told her to nominate me.
Are you kidding me?
Liar!
Let's go, let's go!
Are they all screaming like we're still in there?
Go out there with the pots and plans pans, and keep the par
Going.
We got more questions for jessica.
I hate being the center of attraction.
You are a disgusting human being.
Your personality sucks, as much as everything else about you
Suck.
You want to call people disgusting or cowards.
You grown baby.
Little man syndrome, that's what you have.
Little man syndrome!
All my dogs are barking.
I didn't call them dogs.
Called them groupies.
This is embarrassing for everybody honestly.
It's a disaster.
It's not what my game is based on.
I really wished we would have tried a different tactic.
This is not our finest moment.
How about you teach cody the word "liar" because he lied to
My face, and so did you.
What kind of big man are you?
Thithis is harassment.
It's pathetic.
It's bullying.
I hope you're worth $, to jessica.
That's a very expensive date.
♪ If this is going to be the
Life we'll have, I don't want if I want it.
♪ What are you thinking?
Talk to me.
Jess, what do you want?
Whatever decision you make, it's going to be all right.
I'm trying to figure it out, how much of it I can stand.
Ha-ha!
I don't want to give everybody what they want, but
Not giving them what they want is making my life harder.
♪ Cody, welcome to "big
Brother," buddy.
Brother," buddy.
Julie: coming up, we'll begin tonight's live vote and
Eviction.
Will jessica halt it?
Her big decision is next.
Then the head of household competition plays out live.
Will the power in the house shift once again?
Stay with us.
[Cheers and applause]
[Cheers and applause] julie: welcome back to big
It's now time for the live vote and eviction.
That is unless jessica decides to use the halting hex.
Let's head to the living room and find out what she does.
Hello, houseguests.
Everyone, it's time for the live vote and eviction.
Jessica, cody, in just moments your housemates will vote to
Eviction live.
Before they do, you have a final chance to sway their votes with
One brief statement.
Jessica, you're first.
Well, houseguests, all of you have been so curious to know
What my temptation is.
I only see fit to use it.
Julie, I'm officially unleashing the halting hex.
The greatest position is on the block -- gravest position is
On the block, but there is a way to halt the clock.
Say this spell and you will hex it.
On eviction night there be no exit.
Halting hex rise!
Eviction night dies!
Halting hex rise!
Eviction night dies!
Halting hex rise!
Halting hex rise!
Eviction night dies!
Ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha!
Julie: all right.
Houseguests, I can now confirm that jessica does indeed hold a
Special power.
In the final den of temptation, america chose to tempt jessica
With the halting hex, and she accepted it.
From the moment she received it, the halting hex gave her the
Power to halt one of the next four evictions, keeping everyone
On the block safe.
She has chosen to use the halting hex.
So that means she has stopped this eviction and no one is
Leaving the house tonight.
So jessica and cody are both safe, and still playing the "big
Brother" game.
Jessica, since you used the halting hex, the power is gone,
And cannot be used again.
I'll be back to start the head of household competition
Shortly.
See you soon, houseguests.
Congrats.
Congrats.
That was awesome.
The lights are cool.
Actually that makes sense.
Makes sense.
Won't have a chance to change, kevin.
I do.
When I come back, hoh.
I can't go with this suit on.
Less than minutes.
Julie: so jessica has used the halting hex, keeping cody's
And her game alive.
With the entire house against them, can one of them win
Tonight's head of household competition and regain the power
In the house?
Find out next.
Stay with us.
[Cheers and applause]
[Cheers and applause] julie: welcome back to "big
It's time for the live head of household competition, free from
The threat of eviction, the hoh must put two nominees on the
