good evening I'm Julie Chen welcome to big brother it's day 42 and it's been a

week of what goes around comes around moments after being surprised by his almost unanimous eviction James the free

spirit who's been bicycling around the world suddenly found himself being voted back into the game by five of the eight

house guests returning with a Vengeance James one head of household after promising Natalie that he would keep

both her and Matt safe he then targeted the two house guests he felt had

betrayed him the most last week's head of household Ryan who put him on the Block and Sheila who went back on her

word that she wouldn't vote him out but when James also won the power of veto he

shocked the entire house by going back on his promise to Natalie and replacing

Sheila with Matt will James live to regret his broken promise only time can tell one thing is

for sure tonight either Ryan the college student from Ohio or Matt the roofer from Boston will be going home but first

blindsided by his nomination Matt has been reduced to tears and now finds

himself at the mercy of the house I have decided to use the power of veto

on Sheila [Music]

at this time I have decided to nominate Matt

The veto ceremony is done

oh I'm so angry and I don't get angry very often and I am angry he is a

hypocrite promise me sweetie yes you will put it ready I'm not gonna put him

up okay a deal what well guess what James you're a liar and

your word doesn't mean deadly squat

Matt is on the Block because he lied to my face about being the third vote when

I got back into the house and he's gonna go home because I gotta be alone right now [Music]

congratulations take care guys let's start packing now

fear me in this house this is the chance to get me out back door style it sucks

[Music] where's Natalie Madeline probably crying

[Applause]

[Music] I just have to stay strong now

it's really really hard you know I really like Maddie a lot and I've got feelings for him so I'm very very very

sad that he could possibly be going this week and I feel like I did all that hanging up on the disco ball for nothing

maybe that'll stay who knows how the boats are gonna go foreign

[Music]

with Natalie she's playing with me I'm not playing with her that's the difference

I'm sorry I'm sorry I can't help the way someone feels about me I don't particularly feel the same way and you know that I know you don't but you know

she does [Music] my third time up it is

you feel like crying when it happened to you yep I just let everybody down

coming at it with nothing don't look at it like that that's how I'm looking at it why because I made a

promise to my mom that I'd find something to give her you know [Music]

I don't cry sorry don't hate me don't hate myself

I can't go against Ryan why not look at him he's missed a nice guys

perfect for the house sorry for last week honestly it's all

good he came out to me and he started crying about how he promised his mom he would

give her a prize you know what Matt everyone in here has a parent that they want to help out

[Music]

I'm fine fine please [Music] okay okay

you don't have to be sorry there's nothing wrong don't worry about it just when I'm gone

all right well I want to be by myself I'm sorry man

because you have to understand something when I make a decision it's a decision

[Music]

there's no way to save me it's gonna go five to one

or four to two if you give me your vote but okay

I feel bad for you bro talking to me doesn't help you know what I'm saying and what do I say though

so I told you getting the wrong on that deal here dude you guys are sniffing me up for no apparent reason what's your problem that you don't want me in this

house you don't feel bad for me none of that what did I do that I need to go home this week what are you doing keep

running over me I did nothing wrong to you what are you thinking I definitely got Matt fired up saying bro you gotta

do something you can't be walking around I'm sorry look on your face you gotta tell these people what the deal is in

order for you to stay in this house all right Adam does have a really good point and you know it's something kicked in my

brain I got Natalie guaranteed I got Adam I might have to play the sympathy card

with some of these girls because indeed they are girls and girls are normally sympathetic to its things in life maybe

they'll give me a Pity vote I don't care what kind of vote they give me I just want to vote [Music]

all right

foreign [Music] [Laughter]

I never spent the birthday alone please don't fool me out I realize that this man is truly

pathetic it was very hard for me not to just burst out laughing at him seeing him break down like this I don't know

honestly I want to sit on this I still want to spend my birthday alone

I feel I feel being alone it's like one of my fears in life how do I get you how do you get me yeah

[Music] that's the question we'll see won't we Matt totally think that he had me just

eating out of the palm of his hand see how you got me

whatever get out of here with that crap you gotta give people time to think

there Sheila yes I know I can borrow

I'd like to have your vote I really would I'll see whatever you

want and I'll stick to it that's I'm gonna make it that's how I am I've been by myself now my birthday

what can I do to earn it I don't know I don't understand why Sheila Sharon and

Chelsea are not promising me a vote and it's really aggravating no one can give

me a straight answer I want a yes I want to vote

it's plotting a way to stay in this house

okay Michelle you know you guys never gonna give me a time to talk to you I don't want to talk about anything I got

it there's so much that's going on right now just leave me alone Ryan is not coming up to me campaigning I'm not

trying to campaign I just want to know I want to know what it is that I've done to everybody in this house that they

want me out of this house this week I've never crossed anybody in this house and I just don't I'm not saying I love you out of this house this week I never done

anything to you specifically or you specifically if anything I vote for you to stay I voted for you to stay

I never put you on the Block I never put you on the Block I have not said I'm voting you out this week I mean if you think life around here will be better

without me so be it however like I've never done anything I've never crossed you for you

wait I've never really crossed you Ryan has crossed everybody here

he yelled at you you're gone now you know what sorry James

squashed he took money from you [Music]

he did put James in the Box decided to put up as a replacement James

I didn't put James on the Block he put you on the Block and you will he put you up and he put you up as well why are you

gonna hold that against me Maddie made a convincing argument what he said was

very true Ryan has done some things that are kind of dirty and everyone seems to

be forgiving Ryan I was like what am I thinking why would I keep Ryan here for what reason but whether he will get

through to Chelsea and Sharon I just don't know like can you please save me

this week I am asking for a prayer a miracle of some sort I I don't want to beg just give me a fair Shake give me a

fair Shake please you know Maddie has Natalie Adam

and me so we're talking now as a split vet well who do you think has to break that tie it has to be head of household

which is James [Music]

let me ask you this do you want somebody that's done a lot of people in this house done them wrong

or do you want to keep somebody in the house that is literally not screwed over anyone you want Mata Ryan here I'm

Beyonce Maddie's done nothing to me I can't I can't fault him he has Natalie and Adams

Then you know what my gut says you keep that yeah okay you break a tie I break the time if there's a tie what do you

want to do if there's a tie I don't know Maddie made a very good point outside today with everybody he said what have I

done to you I said you've done nothing then he said what have I done to you Chelsea nothing what have I done to you Sharon

nothing what is this person that's staying here that's on the block with me done to all of you he's put you on the

Block he's trying to backdoor you he's trying to evict you he's coming after you and it makes sense doesn't it yeah

it does he was the one that had the power to put you where you are it shocked me and I don't know if

necessarily Maddie is the one that told him to do that he had the power to do it or not do it and he did it that was his

decision he has to pay for that decision with Ryan it's like can you trust Ryan

what will Ryan do once he gets off the block who will he come after who will be

his Target I don't know if she'll James you're a smart guy don't tell me you don't know I

think you do know I don't I really don't all right look at me James he's done nothing

the other person that's supposedly gonna stay here after winning 10 grand has done a lot to everybody

and he will come after you and he will come after this side the people that you trust and who are your alliance which do

you want to do what would you like to see happen I don't know and at this point I don't know I don't know or I

would like them both gone both of equally burn me just as bad in my eyes you know he did make good points I don't

even know anymore Sheila I don't really even know foreign

coming up he was last season's Infamous bad boy she was his estranged daughter

but in the end Evil d*ck won the half million dollar grand prize and even more important to him a relationship with his

daughter Danielle we'll pay them a visit to see how their relationship has fared then the live vote will Ryan or Matt be

leaving the Big Brother house let's go to the diary room to hear what Joshua Adam and Natalie have to say about

tonight's nominees Ryan and I are in an alliance when Ryan was HOH he did not

put me on the Block I basically have the same agreement back with him I think he's a trustworthy guy as far as I'm concerned Ryan should definitely stay in

the house it's coming down to unmixed decisions everybody's doing their campaigning I think for me I can trust

Matt um especially if I do votes keep him in the house he might owe me per se well from the day one in this house we're

always been my friend I want Maddie to stay in this house because he's been my partner since day one he's the one I

scheme with he is the only one in this house that I can trust he has to stay

[Music] welcome back to big brother it's time to

go to the living room and check in with the house guests hi everybody [Applause]

James yeah at the nomination ceremony you addressed everyone and talked about

how your word is all you have in the Big Brother house but then you put Matt on The Chopping

Block after you promised Natalie in front of everyone that you wouldn't yeah how do you justify this to your

housemates uh that's a back door move that's when uh you win the POV and you take someone off I have a bad sleeping

pattern in the house and I want to get back at the people that deserve to be on the Block I didn't feel like Sheila

really earned it like these two guys have Natalie what are your feelings towards James after hearing all this

well personally Julie I kind of think he's a little bit of a hypocrite you know uh I I hung up there like a warrior

princess to make that deal with him so um you know I don't really he can't really say about his word at this point

his word doesn't mean anything right now Matt Adam Ryan or as we like to call you

guys the Bible Buddies

how many cubits tall would you say Ryan is

two cubits tall it's a 60 one two three three cubits tall three three cubits and a

all right that'll be it for the quizzes on qubits and measurements and stuff right but house guests let's talk about the mystery box from last week oh that's

cubit buy a show of hands how many of you thought Allison was going to be in that

box one two three three of you did okay well let's take a look at last week's live

show and find out who it was that you chose not to bring back

place Alex America picked you congratulations Alex

Box how many of you would have voted for him to come back I did anyway one two three four

I've never abandoned you and I never will and it might not be the greatest staff in the world but trying not to

give up trying that's a great picture that's so funny

still dating Nick that my lady is the key to Nick's heart I'll treasure

it forever you're welcome Nick and I are no longer dating we did try dating for a

while after the show but we're just not compatible like we thought we were so

do you think about James please I like playing the game yeah yeah he has I

think longer than anybody else in there let's talk about Sheila who you wish was on our season so you could hook up with

she joins on and on and on she drives me crazy I can't listen to her voice for that her Natalie they just never stop

talking that's all you did Kettle meat pot I don't think that I could have ever

flown on the radar in any season except for this one with your mouth yes no

let's go back to the diary room to hear what shall see you Sharon and Sheila have to say about the nominees I want

Matt out of this house this week because since day one he's been ruling over

people he's tried being the puppet master and having people play his game for him we've been gunning for him and

it's Maddie's turn I want Ryan to stay in this house because I don't think he's out to personally attack anybody he's

not gonna just blow up one day on somebody so I really don't feel like he'd personally like come after me for anything looking into Matt's eyes I know

Matt has really never done anything to me but I don't want to vote for either one of them I don't want to be the one
