23x04 - Episode 4

Post by bunniefuu »

JULIE CHEN: Teams, twists,

and a tempting new $, grand prize

have sent the game,

and the first Head of Household, into overdrive.

Welcome to the first live eviction of "Big Brother."

ANNOUNCER: Previously on "Big Brother"!

strangers began the battle

for three-quarters of a million dollars

and a twist quickly divided them into four teams:

the Queens,

the Kings,

the Aces,

and the Jokers.

Frenchie became the first Head of Household of the season.

CHEN: Congratulations.

Not only is Frenchie safe,

but his entire team is safe for the week, as well.

ANNOUNCER: And promised safety

to nearly the whole house.

Every one of y'all are safe.

Every one of y'all, I promise.

I refuse to nominate women this week.

I really appreciate that.

You are nowhere, not even... a thought.

I appreciate that.

ANNOUNCER: The farmer then secured

a final two deal with Brent...

Let's just final-two this, like...

Yeah. I'm all for it.

Yeah, let's do it.

ANNOUNCER: And another with Big D.

Are we gonna do this, like,

final-two type...? Yeah.

Okay.

ANNOUNCER: But Big D also had an alliance cooking

with Kyland, Tiffany,

Azah, and Xavier.

That was the first thing we talked about.

You know what we talking about?

Mm-hmm, the Cookout.

I love it, though. Me, too.

ANNOUNCER: Wanting a meathead gone,

Christian was Frenchie's only option.

Now that I'm good with Brent,

that only leaves one last meathead.

ANNOUNCER: But a new twist, called the wildcard comp,

secured safety for Christian.

You have won the first wildcard competition.

[cheers and applause]

Whoo!

ANNOUNCER: After thinking Christian and Alyssa

were more than friends...

The only dadgum thing I can't stand more than a meathead

is a showmance.

I got to break this up quick.

ANNOUNCER: ...Alyssa found herself

on the block next to a pawn.

I've nominated you, Kyland, and you, Alyssa.

ANNOUNCER: Soon after,

Frenchie learned he was mistaken about Alyssa.

I love Christian as a friend, but we're not like that.

I got to figure out my new target.

ANNOUNCER: So after a reconnaissance mission

put Derek X. on Frenchie's radar...

[whispering]

We have to protect this house.

ANNOUNCER: ...a new target was born.

You just became my target, buddy.

ANNOUNCER: With the veto on the line...

[bell ringing]

...Derek X. got a crucial victory.

Congratulations, Derek,

you have won the golden power of veto!

ANNOUNCER: And Frenchie quickly put the pressure on him.

I would like the veto used.

You would like-- okay.

If we don't get Travis this week,

we're going for Derek next week.

ANNOUNCER: At the veto meeting...

I have decided to use the power of veto

on Kyland.

ANNOUNCER: Frenchie went back on his word

to the Hawaiian stallion.

Travis, please take a seat.

ANNOUNCER: Tonight, either Alyssa or Travis

will be the first evicted from the "BB" House.

And with Frenchie's reign of madness coming to an end,

a new Head of Household will be crowned.

All this live on "Big Brother"!

Farming is not always sunshines and rainbows.





CHEN: Good evening, I'm Julie Chen Moonves.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

It's only been a week since the game began,

but with Frenchie as Head of Household,

there's been enough dizzying strategy

to fill an entire summer.

Within the first hours of his HOH reign,

Frenchie basically promised the entire house safety,

except for Christian.

But when Christian saved himself,

Frenchie was forced to go back on his word,

nominating Kyland and Alyssa.

And when the veto was used to save Kyland,

Frenchie went back on his word once again.

Now Alyssa and Travis sit side by side on the chopping block.

Who will be the first houseguest sent packing?

We'll find out soon enough.

But first, his nominations may finally be in place,

but this HOH just won't quit.

This veto meeting is adjourned.



I decided to use the veto on Kyland

because one, he shouldn't have been on the block at all,

and then two, it helped me regain favor with Frenchie,

because this is what he wanted me to do.

[sighs]

[whispers]: I got you.

Seeing Travis go up as a replacement nominee

is heartbreaking, because he is on my team.

But I am just beside myself with excitement

to actually be safe.

Welcome. Thanks.

It obviously sucks I'm still on the block,

especially on week one,

but it definitely helps that I'm next to Travis,

because he's a way bigger threat than me.

I definitely am just gonna keep laying low

and make sure I do have the votes this week.

[whispering]: I love you to death, man.

I got all the pressure in the world.

[exclaims]: Something finally goes right.

My ultimate goal this week was to get out a meathead,

and guess what.

He's sitting on the block

and at the end of the day, the stud bull's going home.

There's a lot of time, man. Yup.

Very, very first move-in group,

it was myself, X, and Big D

with Mr. French himself, and he gave us his word

that we would be completely safe

throughout the entirety of his Head of Household-ship.

That's obviously not really the case now.

He's a liar and he can't be trusted.

So Frenchie, if I go out, I'm taking you down with me, my man.



How you doing?

I mean, I know what's happening and...

Mm-hmm. I don't want

to give away anything.

I told him we definitely, him and I need to lay low.

Mm-hmm. Just for this week.

Yeah, right. Because Travis can use that

to his advantage.

He has time to-- today is only Monday.

Mm-hmm.

Guess what-- you're not the only one working for you.

Mm-hmm. You got me,

X, Sarah Beth...

...all working for you to get those votes.

I mean, I told you from the moment

your face got up there, you're not going home.

Do you think he could pull it?

No.

[murmurs] You swear?

Just, I don't know how he could.

Like, if I go home,

I'm going home for nothing, for no reason.

Not even my fault.

We're not gonna let that happen.



Oh, the overalls are so cute. They are cute.

Thank you, I'm gonna out-Frenchie the Frenchie.

Out-Frenchie the Frenchie. The Frenchie, yeah.

The French are you talking about?

It turns out that Frenchie's name

is a great substitute for the F-b*mb.

What the French? What the French?

Yeah, I like that.

What the French?

Don't get Frenched up. [laughs]

Don't French with me.

Who the French are you talking to?

Who you Frenching with? The French?

Who the French you think you are?

I don't know what the French you thought but,

let me tell you what really is going on.

If I don't survive the Frenching block this week,

I am totally Frenched.

[laughs]

Okay. Yeah.

So this is what's going down.

From the moment we were outside...

Uh-huh.

I saw you, like, analyzing everything,

analyzing people, like, taking everything in.

I was, like, "Okay, he's thinking, like, just like I am."

Mm-hmm.

I always wanted to find, like, a core.

Okay. And it's got to be people

that are, like, competitors and that

aren't afraid to go toe-to-toe with everybody.

Yeah. Yeah.

So if we can get that, so we have, like, the numbers,

and call it, like, the Slaughterhouse.

For years, I always watched "Big Brother"

and I always wanted to start an alliance

called the Slaughterhouse.

Aggressive.

First of all, you got Xavier.

To me, he's the biggest threat in this house,

so I definitely have to keep him close.

Whitney, on the other hand,

I need somebody that I can bond with in this house

and we're both parents.

People won't see you coming. Yeah.

We're very different people. Yeah, exactly.

To the core, and, uh...

And, like, super-strong competitors.

Yeah. We can do some damage.

This is, like, my dream team.

You need to grab more people, and be, like, "Hey,

I want to talk to you, too." Yeah, need more people.

Absolutely.



Just go in here and lock the door.

They can't hear us.

My intentions of a Slaughterhouse alliance

are simple.

My biggest threats in this game, I've got to get close to them.

You got Kyland and Christian.

Both of these guys are powerhouses in this game.

Here's the game plan.

There are five of us in this room right now.

This is who I am ready to ride or die with.

I also want an alliance to where

they can herd around me

and I'll actually have protection next week.

Everybody in this room right now

is going to the end of this.

Let's go!

Let's go.

We need to bring everybody into the room

and officially form the Slaughterhouse.

I want to get us all in here... Mm-hmm.

And be, like, "All right..."

We need to make this, like, official-official.

Get in, get out. I respect that.

I'll be right back. All right.

Fact of the matter is, I need the numbers.

Everybody in here has no idea

that they were hand-selected for a single purpose:

keeping me safe.

What they don't realize is,

I don't trust half of these people in this alliance

and I got to keep a close eye on these people,

and what better way to do it than to bring them in close?

Whoo! I tell you what, I'm something else.

So point blank, like, everybody is, like, % in this, right?

Yeah. Yes.

I bring in Alyssa.

She reminds me of my little sister.

Yeah, I know, I nominated her.

There's no stopping this group...

[indistinct chatter] ...right now.

None, literally.

I've got Derek F. and Brent.

I've got final two with these guys.

I definitely want them in this group.

The only way this blows up is if...

One of us does something stupid,

and I don't think any of us would.

The Slaughterhouse is a lot of people.

I don't know if this is gonna work.

I'm going to play along with the Slaughterhouse right now,

but if this plane gets shot down,

I have my parachute and I'm the first one off of it.

I like the Slaughterhouse as a concept,

but there are people within the Slaughterhouse

who definitely have had tension.

So we'll see how it goes.

[exclaims]

Being a member in the Slaughterhouse alliance

could have not come at a better time.

It still worries me that I am still on the block,

but as long as the alliance sticks with me,

I think I can get the vote.

All right, so we're good?

Like, official-official?

Slaughterhouse! Slaughterhouse.

Let's go!

[laughs, cheers]



Now I have to set myself up, all angles.

All angles, I'll be covered-- hopefully.

Forming Slaughterhouse is great,

but if I can get the other side of the house, too,

old Frenchie can do some damage

and be covered all the way around.

Ahh...



I came into the house and I was, like,

"I want an alliance with all girls.

Like, I want..." You want an all-girl

alliance plus Frenchie? Yeah.

Oh, look at you.

An all-girls alliance

led by Frenchie,

who isn't a girl.

Because that makes complete sense.

He wants to keep us close so he can control us,

manipulate us, and gain information from us.

So no-- no thanks.

Frenchie's Angels.

The French Kisses.

The French Kisses? Yeah, the French Kisses.

Oh, that's so cute. I like that.

And then we could French kiss?

[laughter]

Or, like, Team Shake--

we could just, be, like, us going...

[laughter]

From what I recall,

usually girls start girls' alliances.

I don't think I need to be in a girls' alliance

if it was started by a guy. [chuckles]

Can we don't joke for a minute?

Can we do that with, with, with us and Sarah Beth?

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop-- why are we doing this?

We don't trust Frenchie.

I'm with it.

That's a six-person alliance.

We would have a full side.

I am going along with Frenchie's French Kiss alliance,

because how do you really tell him no?

But Frenchie, you may be the one getting kissed goodbye

by all the girls.

[blows kiss, whispers]: Bye-bye!

If they tried to get rid of me next week,

we'd have the numbers and they couldn't do it.



CHEN: Up next,

could Frenchie's multi-alliance power trip

be Travis's saving grace?

Then we crown a new Head of Household.

Who will rise to power and, in the process,

keep their entire team safe for the week?

Stay with us.



CHEN: Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Feeling the heat, Travis employs an unusual tactic

to strip the target off his back.



Who's baking the cake for the birthday party?

Kyland is turning

and we want to do something big for him.

I'm gonna grab Travis and have him come in.

You know, he's a great guy and we gotta go all-out.

For Ky's birthday, what we want to do is be, like,

"One of the lucky ladies is going to be

giving Ky a lap dance tonight."

But we want you to do it.

Okay, I'm down.

[laughter]

I know I'm on the block this week,

but ultimately, I'm still down to clown,

and I'm going to show that to my fellow houseguests

that I'm a person that has a great time,

even in the face of adversity.

Here, rub your lips together.

[smacks lips]

♪ Happy birthday to you!

[cheers and applause] There we go.

There we go!

Ooh, ooh... Ooh!

Wow.

Hey... [cheers and applause]

This is the gift.

Oh, my God!

Take it off!

Damn, I wish it were my birthday

so I could get a striptease from Travisa.

Wow-- oh!

[chanting]: Travis! Travis!

Oh, hey! [laughter]

Hold up, hey, yeah, let's just, oh, right there.

There we go.

Happy birthday!

You look at him,

his muscles have muscles that have muscles,

like, you can't go wrong.

Whoo-hoo! Oh, man, oh, man.

[cheers and applause]

I mean, after that dance-y dance.

I know I've gotten Kyland's vote.

I really just need six more birthdays

before eviction night and I should be good.

Oh, man.

Oh, my goodness.

Thank you. Oh, thank you!



First, first order of business.

What do you think [indistinct]?

[whispering]: I'm pretty concerned about, like,

having one less team member for the HOH.

[whispering]: Oh, yeah.

That's going to create a whole lot of chaos.

Travis is sitting on the block and Frenchie has already said

that he's coming for a big target this week.

A big old fish.

It is imperative that all the Queen members

stay in the house this week and Alyssa goes home,

because if one of our team members wins HOH,

we win safety for the week,

and I want to have all of the safety I can get.

[whispering]: If he was to tell Frenchie, like,

"Hey, like, if I'm here next week, I am a target.

If she's here next week, she is not."

Right. Yes.

That statement... And everybody in the house

is already willing to vote you out this week.

If you're in the house next week,

it would be easy to put you back on the block.

Yeah. You know what

you can offer him?

"I can offer you a shield,

"because you are possibly a target for next week,

"Frenchie-- I can offer you a shield.

What can she offer you?"

Which takes the target off of him,

because he's [muted] scared... [indistinct chatter]

Completely worried about going up.

All right. That's good, that's good,

that's good. Queens!

That's dope-- Queens! [cackles]



All right, so, um,

I'm just gonna kind of present points that I have

that I think will very much benefit both of your games.

My man Mr. French has a lot of sway in this house,

meaning your boy has to go do some swaying of Mr. French.

Hopefully I can take that target off my back,

and, uh, I do have a business degree,

so it's time to get selling.

The first one being, uh, my loyalty.

Have I not told you the-- I said, "The one thing

about Travis is, he's extremely loyal."

Absolutely.

I know this. Okay, okay.

Point two, and you've expressed it a lot,

that you think there's gonna be a pretty big target

on your back next week.

If I stayed,

I would easily be the biggest target next week to go home.

That puts a shield over you.

The last question I'll leave you with is,

at the end of the day,

what can Alyssa actually provide you?

So that's it. Appreciate you, my man.

Yeah... yeah.

Either way, I love you guys. Absolutely.

Between my two alliances,

I could definitely pull the numbers to keep Travis here

if I wanted to, and if Alyssa left over Travis,

I could pull Travis into the Slaughterhouse.

That could give Slaughterhouse a real, real loyalty boost.

That's a good argument.

It was-- he has a solid point on every one he said.

Yeah.

CHEN: Up next,

the houseguests cast their first eviction votes of the summer:

Alyssa or Travis.

Who will claim the undesirable title

of first one out the door?

Stay with us.



CHEN: Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Alyssa or Travis-- who will be the first houseguest

to leave the Big Brother Beach Club?

Let's head to the living room and talk with the two nominees.

Hello, houseguests.

[houseguests respond]

All right, everyone,

it is time for the first vote and eviction of the summer.

Alyssa, Travis, in just moments,

your housemates will cast their votes to evict live.

But before they do,

you each have a final chance

to sway their votes with one brief statement.

Alyssa, you're up first.

Okay.

I first want to say hi to Elena, Bella, Kristen,

Peter, Piper, Axel, Gabe, and Lynn.

I love and miss you guys so much.

Um, please check out molliebird.com.

It would mean the world to me.

Houseguests, I first want to say thank you,

because we all know my anxiety has been insane this week,

and literally within the first hour,

you guys were so supportive and understanding

and you guys have no idea how much that meant to me.

With that being said,

I would love to still play this game with you all

and get to know you all even more so, and no matter what,

I respect any decision you make

and it is my birthday on Saturday.

So if you do keep me,

you'll get to have another birthday party, so...

CHEN: All right, thank you Alyssa-- Travis, your turn.

Yeah, I got to... [cheers]

Got to go around the house one last time,

potentially, with no shirt, so here we go.

Um, shout-out to Island Mama-- love you, miss you, sweet girl.

Shout-out to my mom and dad, love you guys.

Let's get into it, houseguests.

Uh, look at us, huh? [laughter]

Who would have thought? Not me-- thank you.

[laughs]: Houseguests, you guys have taught me,

throughout these last quick eight days, um,

that it's possible to love,

to deeply fall in love with people at the same time.

Um, I have a love, a support, and an unfettering desire

for you guys to all be wickedly successful

long beyond and outside the walls

of the "Big Brother" house.

And if anyone discovers

the stains in my bed, on my bedsheets,

it's not what you think it is.

I got pranked with shaving cream while I was sleeping.

[laughter, cheers, and applause]

CHEN: Thank you for clearing that up, and thank you both.

All right.

Unusual last-minute speech.

All right, everyone. [laughter]

It is time for the live voting to begin.

Frenchie, as current Head of Household,

you're not allowed to vote.

And, as always,

neither are the two nominees.

One at a time, the rest of you

will enter the diary room and cast your vote to evict.

Sarah Beth, you're up first-- please go to the diary room.



I ought to put my shirt back on.

[indistinct chatter]

CHEN: Sarah Beth has made it clear to her teammate Alyssa

she wants to keep her safe.

Is that still her intent?

Hi, Sarah Beth.

Hi, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Travis.

CHEN: Thank you.

[softly]: Thank you.



CHEN: Xavier is a member of Alyssa's team

and in the Slaughterhouse alliance with her.

Will he vote to keep his ally?

Hi, Xavier.

What's going on, Julie?

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Travis.

CHEN: Thank you.

Thank you, Julie.



CHEN: Also a member of Frenchie's large

Slaughterhouse alliance,

will Whitney do the HOH's bidding and send Travis packing?

Hi, Whitney.

Hi, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I unfortunately vote to evict Travis.

CHEN: Thank you. Love you, Trav.

Love you, Paxton, Ryker, Fab Four.



CHEN: Alyssa was nominated because of her association

with Christian.

Will he make it up to her by voting Travis out?

Hi, Christian.

Hey, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

Sadly, I vote to evict Travis.

CHEN: Thank you. Yup.

Thanks.

CHEN: Azah doesn't have ties to either nominee.

Who does she think is best for her game?

Hi, Azah.

Hi, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Travis.

CHEN: Thank you.

Happy late birthday, Nanga.

Love you, Mom and Dad.



CHEN: Derek F. has a final two with Frenchie.

Will he do as his ally wishes and vote Travis out?

Hi, Derek.

Hi, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I cast to evict Alyssa.

CHEN: Thank you.

Hi, Adam, hi, Lauren, hi, Jessica, hi, Sierra.

Frenchie's kids, Daddy said hello.

[chuckling]



CHEN: Currently, the vote is one vote to evict Alyssa,

five votes to evict Travis.

But Travis's team and the rest of the house have yet to vote.

They'll do that next.

Then, it's time to crown a new Head of Household,

and it's all happening live.

Stay with us.



CHEN: Welcome back to "Big Brother."

The houseguests are voting live

for the first eviction of the summer.

And so far, it's one vote to evict Alyssa,

five votes to evict Travis.

Let's continue with the live voting.

As a fellow teammate of Travis, what does Kyland think

is best for his individual game?

Hi, Kyland.

Hi, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

Oh, man, I sadly vote

to evict my friend and teammate Travis.

CHEN: Thank you.

Thank you.

Congrats, Brett-- love y'all.

CHEN: Tiffany sees the value of keeping Travis in the game.

Will she follow through with her vote?

Hi, Tiffany.

Hi, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Alyssa.

CHEN: Thank you.

I love you, Christian!

And happy birthday, Lincoln!

Love you!

CHEN: By using the veto on Kyland,

Derek X. put his friend Travis in danger.

Will he try to save him tonight?

Hi, Derek.

Hey, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I unfortunately vote to evict Travis.

CHEN: Thank you. Happy birthday, Dad!

CHEN: It's official-- with seven votes to evict Travis,

Travis will leave the house tonight.

But let's see how the other votes fall.

Hi, Claire.

Hi, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Travis.

CHEN: Thank you.

Thank you.



CHEN: Hannah seems to be on to Frenchie's manipulation.

So, which of his two nominees will she vote out?

Hi, Hannah.

Hi, Julie.

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I sadly vote to evict Travis.

I love you, family!

CHEN: Thank you.

It's early in the game and Britini has laid low.

Will she make some noise with her vote?

Hi, Britini.

What's up, Julie?!

CHEN: Please cast your vote to evict.

I sadly vote to evict Travis.

CHEN: Thank you.

Mom, Dad, I love you!



CHEN: Brent was intrigued by Travis's pitch

to stay in the house, but was it too little too late?

Hi, Brent.

Hey, Julie, how are you?

CHEN: I'm well, thank you.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I sadly vote to evict Travis.

Mama, I love you, miss you.

See you then. CHEN: Thank you.



All of the votes are in.

Let's give 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 to two,

Travis, you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

[murmurs]

Hell, yeah.

[laughter]

It was so fun being with you.

It was so fun.

[indistinct chatter]

Thank you. Of course.

Sorry to skip you guys.

Big Handsome.

Always a pleasure. Bye, buddy.

See you in a Calvin Klein magazine...

[laughter, indistinct chatter]

Till we meet again. We will.

[indistinct chatter]

[laughter]

[indistinct chatter]

I'm taking way too long with these hugs.

I love you.

You've got a wonderful life waiting for you out there.

We're all coming to Hawaii. Bye, Travis.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey...

I'm sorry, Trav.

Good luck, man.

Love you guys.

Love you. Love you, Travis.

[indistinct chatter]

All right, love you guys. Bye, Travis.

Appreciate you.

Claire wants a hug.

Claire!

Hold it down. Yes, yes.

Shout you out. Brother man.

[indistinct chatter]

Be good out there. Yeah.

You hear me? Yeah.

I love you, bro. Love you guys.

ALL: Love you!

[cheers and applause]

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

[cheers and applause]

Love you!

CHEN: Safe distance away from you.

Right here good? CHEN: Yes.

Awesome. CHEN: Virtual hug.

Yeah, there it is.

A little air hug action.

CHEN: Yes.

All right.

First one out the door. Yeah.

CHEN: Two votes to stay. Nice.

CHEN: What went wrong for you?

Um...

I mean, I always heard it was like, the white guy with abs

that kind of gets, gets conked first.

And so I kind of had that superstition going in.

I think I went a little too hard off the beat,

kind of day one, day two action.

Everyone was getting cray-cray and talking a little too much.

CHEN: What viewers at home haven't seen yet

is that right before we came out live on the air,

you tried to blow up Frenchie's game.

You had a feeling you were leaving.

Yeah.

CHEN: What were you trying to accomplish and do you think

you accomplished it?

Yeah, so I mean, I have a lot of honor and respect

for Frenchie, he's here.

You know, Mr. French is playing for his fam,

he's playing for the kids,

and he makes a lot of promises.

But with that, he made a promise to me the first day

I entered the house with the boys,

he said, "All of you guys are safe.

Like, on me as a man, I have you guys."

I told him straight up, I was, like, "That's a bold claim."

And sure enough, he did not uphold it

and people have to know that, you know?

CHEN: Well, you know,

what we didn't see you do that most people do

on week number one is make alliances.

Was that a strategy on purpose, that you didn't try and line up?

Yeah, so I had kind of the early structure, I would say,

of that formulating with Ky, with Derek,

and then hopefully with Frenchie.

But with things playing out and Frenchie starting to

kind of get caught in lies, at least with me,

and with Derek not being able to shut his mouth,

that proved to be a tough group to run with.

CHEN: Well, Travis, in the event that you were

the one evicted tonight, your housemates taped some

goodbye messages.

I am stoked. CHEN: Let's watch and listen.

Okay.

Travis, if you're seeing this message,

our plan did not work.

I really wanted to see you stay.

I think you are a great person to have on our team.

I hope to see you soon.

Bye.

Travis!

You made a heck of a presentation to me, man.

But it's hard to move a Mack truck when it's moving miles

down the road.

We'll definitely connect on the outside.

Aloha, brother.

Travis, my man.

You came to me and Frenchie with a very persuasive argument

about why to stay in the "BB" house.

Unfortunately, you know, we had a plan

and we needed to set it into motion.

Full disclosure: we're an eight-person alliance

called the Slaughterhouse.

You're actually the first victim.

Hang ten, my man, and I'll see you soon.

Big kahuna!

This is k*lling me, man. This guy.

I love you like a brother.

I know it's only been seven days,

but you're my best friend in the house,

and it's gonna be a lonely place without you.

[sighing]

The showmance that never was.

[laughter] Could have been.

What could have been.

CHEN: Travis, I do have more questions for you

after the show, so you're not going to go far.

Up next, the houseguests go head-to-head for the title

Head of Household.

Whoever wins will keep his or her entire team

safe for the week.

Plus, they'll have to nominate two houseguests for eviction.

That competition happens live next.

Stay with us.



CHEN: Welcome back to "Big Brother."

It's time for the live Head of Household competition.

Free from the threat of eviction,

the HOH must put two nominees on the chopping block.

Let's head to the backyard and get things started.

Houseguests, the power is up for grabs.

Frenchie, as outgoing Head of Household,

you are not eligible to compete tonight.

Remember, whomever wins this HOH

will secure safety for themselves and their entire team

for one week.

This competition is called

Pool Sharks, and here's how it works.

Take a look at the Pool Sharks board in front of you.

One at a time, you'll step up and attempt to hit your ball

into the shark's mouth.

Position one is the easiest shot.

Position is the most difficult shot.

But this game has a twist,

because before anyone shoots, you must first claim

a numbered spot to sh**t from.

And on my go, you will enter your desired

sh**ting spot number on your keypad.

If a number is already taken, you must pick another number

until you claim a spot.

But choose wisely, because with great risk comes great reward.

The winner of this competition will be the houseguest

who sinks their ball into the shark's mouth

from the highest and most difficult numbered spot.

And bank shots are not allowed.

Okay.

We are having technical difficulties.

So, think about where you want to stand.

And I will be right back.



When we return, we'll find out who's sh**ting first on our path

to crowning a new Head of Household.

Stay with us.



CHEN: Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Let's rejoin the houseguests in the backyard

and crown a new Head of Household.

Hello again, houseguests.

Hello, Julie!

CHEN: All right, you have all selected

your sh**ting lanes.

So, let's get this started.

Alyssa, you chose lane number ,

which is the lowest number and the easiest shot.

So, please go ahead

and take your shot.

Easy.

Beautiful.

[applause] CHEN: That'll do it.

Step up to the leader's circle-- all right.

Next up, we have Brent, from slot number .

Take your shot.



[applause] You have displaced Alyssa.

Step on up.

All right, next, we have Hannah, with slot number .



Sorry, Hannah.

All right.

Azah, from slot number , once Frenchie clears.



Sorry, Azah.

All right, coming to us from slot number , Xavier.



[murmurs]

CHEN: Sorry, Xavier.

We still have Brent as the high, highest scorer.

Christian, you're next, slot .



[whistling]

[groans]

CHEN: So close.

Sorry, Christian.

All right, next up, we have Tiffany, from slot .



Okay. Come on, Tiff!

Okay, twinkle toes. Come on, Tiff!

No! [groans]

CHEN: Sorry, Tiffany.

All right, up next, we have Whitney,

slot number .



Oh... We're looking good!

Money. That's looking good!

No. [groaning]

No, it's not.

CHEN: These shots get harder and harder.

Up next, Claire, from slot number .



Oh... Yes, girl!

[groaning]

CHEN: Sorry, Claire.

All right, Brent is still the one to beat.

A reminder: as the numbers get higher,

the shot gets harder.

Coming to us from slot , Kyland.



Let's go, Ky.

Let's go! Money! Money!

[muted]

CHEN: That was clean and fast.

Kyland, step up to the leader's circle.

Sorry, Brent.

All right, Britini, from slot .

Whoopsie! [laughs]

Close, close, close.

Good shot.

CHEN: Sorry, Britini. [applause]

Come on, Big D! Big D!

CHEN: Three people left in this competition to sh**t.

All right, Derek.

Come on, Big D!

Get in there! Get in there!

[groaning]

[applause]

CHEN: Sorry, Derek.

Sarah Beth, trying to sink it from slot .

Let's go, SB.

Oh, that's good!

[groaning]

That's okay. [applause]

Good shot, SB.

CHEN: Sorry, Sarah Beth.

All right, Derek, you or Kyland are about to become the next

Head of Household.

Oh, my goodness.



Ky!

[cheers and applause]

CHEN: Which means congratulations, Kyland.

You are the new Head of Household!

[cheers and applause]

Yay!

Let's go, Ky!

It's your birthday, too!

Happy birthday!

[cheers and applause]

Yes! Aw...

Here, big boy. Oh, wow.

Come on, big boy.

That was hard.

[indistinct chatter]

This was hard, man.

[indistinct chatter]

You could have been good at that, I bet.

CHEN: Kyland, congratulations once again, and happy birthday.

[cheers and applause] How are you feeling?

Oh, man.

Thank you.

CHEN: Maybe your birthday wish came true.

It did, it did, there we go.

CHEN: You went from being on the block to Head of Household.

You've got a lot of responsibility.

And your team, your team is safe.

Alyssa, you were saved, and spared tonight.

How do you feel, surviving the night?

I feel amazing.

I'm still shaking a little bit, but I feel good.

CHEN: It must be something with birthdays.

Right?!

CHEN: Because yours is coming up.

I think it is, I think it is.

CHEN: Well, thank you, houseguests, for rolling

with the punches and the technical difficult,

difficulties we had.

Enjoy the night.

Thank you! Bye, Julie!

CHEN: So Kyland is now in power.

Tune in Sunday at :/: Central to see

who he nominates for eviction.

Plus, it's the next wildcard competition

and a huge wildcard decision, as the winner will have to

switch teams if they want to earn safety.

Find out how that plays out Sunday.

Then, on Wednesday at :/: Central, the power of veto

is up for grabs.

Will it be used to save one of the two nominees?

And next Thursday, the live vote and eviction

sends another houseguest packing.

You can catch all of the houseguests in action

hours a day by subscribing to Paramount+.

Go to paramountplus.com/BBLF to get the live feeds and more.

For now, let's eavesdrop on the houseguests.

From outside the "Big Brother" house, I'm Julie Chen Moonves,

and remember: be strong and courageous.

Good night.



[indistinct chatter]

I wasn't going for that shot.

[indistinct chatter]

Mm, yeah, oh.

Mm-hmm.

[indistinct chatter]

Double hug.

Thank you guys so much, seriously.

Doesn't look that good on you, pal.

[indistinct chatter]

And you're safe!

Yes, I am, thank you!



Now you're safe anyways.

So now you're safe anyways.

[indistinct chatter]



And also, he launched that, and he... You can't...

So you can't tell at all...
