three BB legends broke into the house.
- Go back in time... - Mm. Yes!

- And inadvertently cracked open
the Big Brother multiverse,
unleashing the BB Comic-verse,
the Scramble-verse,
the Humili-verse,
and the Scary-verse into the game.
- Oh, my God.
- With the multiverse in play,
strangers began the battle
for / of a million dollars.
- [shrieking] Oh, my God!
- Among them, the molecular biologist,
the chillbilly,
the flutist,
the deaf-lympian,
the brand strategist,
and the son of a "Survivor" legend.
The Scramble-verse scrambled up
the first competitions of the summer.
- This is not
a Head of Household competition.
Instead, this is a nomination competition.
- And the houseguests went to battle
to try and stay off the block.
In the end,
Jared, Kirsten, Cory, and Felicia
all became nominees.
And Cory was also
sucked into the mysterious Nether Region.
[all exclaiming]

- Before the night was through,
the Scramble-verse had one more twist to unleash.
- Hello.
- And for the first time ever,
a "Survivor" player entered the "Big Brother" game...
- Hello, hello, hello. [all exclaiming]
- Making Cirie the th houseguest.
Tonight...
- What's your name? - I'm Jared.
How you doing? - Oh, nice to meet you.
- Will Cirie and Jared be able to keep
their mother-son secret under wraps?
Plus, what other twists
does the BB multiverse have in store?
And who will claim power and become the first
Head of Household of the season?
Find out right now on "Big Brother."

No, let me tell you.

Oh, man.

You can't see what anybody's doing in front of you.

It is a complete mystery.

Nice job, Red.

I don't know, especially after the first

I finished that puzzle so quickly.

you did not hit your button
before the time to beat.
Hisam, time to beat, seconds.

- On one hand, winning the HOH would give me
the opportunity to take two players off
and build some trust.
- Nice recover.
- Focus, focus.
- But on the opposite side,
winning HOH is gonna be really tough
since I like all four nominees.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- Go!
[cheers and applause]
- Oh, that's not bad.
- Congratulations, Hisam.
You have set... - Oh, my God!

- It's all the burlesque.
The heels trained you.

Time to beat, seconds.

No frickin' way.

- Oh, dear.
I am not a balancing queen.
I don't want to look like I'm too strong at anything.

You did not hit your button before the time to beat.
Reilly, time to beat, seconds.
- Winning HOH this week would be a badass move for me,
and I'm not afraid to make that move in this house.
I think someone's gotta start the fire.
[air horn blares]
- Come on, Reilly.
- Red and yellow, to me, look like the fastest.
But I'm kind of gravitating towards the blue.
I think that I'm more confident
in my speed than my balance.
So I'm ready to get that key around my neck.
- Oh, my God.
- Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
[bell dinging] Good job! Good job.
Good job. - Thank you!
- Congratulations, Reilly. - Thank you.

- Whoo! I am so happy
I picked the blue balance beam.
Now I'm just praying that nobody can beat that time
and I can lock in this HOH for the week.
Pow. Pow.
- Just like that, Reilly sets the time to beat.
I don't know if anyone's gonna be able to catch it.

Oh, my gosh!
I like my new necklace.
This looks pretty good on me, I think.

- Reilly just kicked butt.
Talk about girl power.
I didn't know I was dealing with Wonder Woman.
- Thank you.
- Good job, good job. - Thank you.
- Now, do I think that Reilly's got my back?
We never really got to talk past Phalanx Five.
So I'm hoping that she sees that I'm someone
who can benefit her game in the long run.
- How did anyone get across that fast?
[upbeat music]
- Come on in.
- Hey, bestie.
- I was just seeing where everybody's at.
- The four nominees that are on the block this week
are there because they lost a competition.
My job as HOH is to remove two people from the block.
I think that having the HOH this week
is really good for my game, because the two people
that I take down are going to hopefully
want to work with me, and this could work out in my favor.
- I'm coming in to talk.
- Come in and talk. Let's talk!
- Because a girl is gonna do what a girl is gonna do.
- Absolutely.
- Reilly needs a target.
But the target don't need to be me.
There's one person really that is
saying a lot of things about a lot of different groups.
And I don't like to be the one to kind of,
like, spread rumors.
But it's not a rumor. - Okay.
- Do you know who I'm talking about?
- Um...
- Kirsten.
- I was gonna say, does it start with a K?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- Who are you thinking about?
I see it in your face, bro.
- You know who I'm thinking about.
- It starts with a K?
[dramatic music]
Eventually, I'm gonna get me a comp, you know what I mean?
And bro, when I tell you I promise you,
bro, I will keep you safe.
If you, like, bless me--
- I know.
- Like, bro, you got me in your corner.
And if you got me in your corner,
I can guarantee you got Felicia and Cirie in your corner.
I'm really feeling Reilly.
Reilly is definitely someone I can see myself
moving forward with in the game.
So I'm really hoping she takes me down off the block.
- Come and talk to me later. - I got you.
- I don't know if you and Felicia have talked at all.
- Mm-hmm.
- But like, it's been brought to me
that there is someone in here...
- Running around, doing a whole lot of craziness.
- Running around, and it starts with a K.
- Yep. - Okay.
- I hate to say it, but it is Kirsten.
- I hate to say it too.
- She's just a loose cannon.
A very, very loose cannon.
- sh**ting herself in the foot.
She's targeting herself. - Exactly.
- So this is great.
There is one common denominator here
after I've talked to the houseguests,
and Kirsten sounds like she might be
on everyone's radar right off the bat.
But it's now going to be about deciding
which of the three nominees I'm gonna remove from the block.
I need to make sure that whoever I take off the block
is gonna have my best interest moving forward.
Here's the thing. - What?
- How we get there.
- Right, right.
- Only two people can come off the block.
- Right.
- And my--my thought is that I'm gonna need a pawn.
- Right.
- Because it's Jared, Cory, Felicia, Kirsten.
- And Kirsten, mm-hmm.
- Target right now, Kirsten.
- Mm-hmm.
- Two people have to come off. - Right.
- Jared...
- Mm-hmm. - Is a really good person...
- Yeah. - To have.
Have you talked to Jared at all?
- He seems--
I feel his energy.
Reilly wanting to target Kirsten
is perfectly fine with me.
My main priority in this house is getting Jared taken down
and he and I staying here for as long as possible
and playing this game together.
And he seems so respectful...
- Mm-hmm. - And mannerable.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I would say to my kids, hang out with this guy.
He's a good kid.
♪
- On a profoundly human level...
- Yes. - Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- This is awesome.
- This is cool.
- I've been to the Nether Region.
I'm on the block.
Things are not going great.
But that doesn't mean I'm out.
I can't call myself the best persuasive speaker
in the world and fail my one
persuasive speaking mission thus far.
[whispering] I think if I were to win HOH
from every other week starting next week,
you are never being nominated to the final.
In my head, at least, what's good for your game
is good for my game.
- [whispering] I don't know what's gonna have to happen.
Like, is there gonna have to be a pawn situation?
- [whispering] Here's my--here's my concern.
I do believe if I'm gonna be put up,
I'm gonna be at risk in this game.
- [whispering] I feel like you got dealt
an unfair hand immediately.
- It's "Big Brother," you know what I mean?
- It's "Big Brother," but like,
I feel for you because that could have been me.
I know who my target for the week is,
but I still have to take two people off the block
and leave one on.
There is a lot riding on this, and I just want to make sure
that whatever decision I make is really good for my game.
- [whispering] Like, I'm not trying to literally sit here
and be like, I'm guilting you.
- No, I know you're not.
You're fighting for your life.
[whispering] And I promise you that, like, I understand.

This is the nomination ceremony.
Since there are already four houseguests nominated

two houseguests from the chopping block,
thus deciding who the nominees are.
Whoever I take off the block is safe for now.
However, with the veto still in play,

Jared and Cory, I have removed you

That means Felicia and Kirsten,
you are the two houseguests nominated for eviction.
I want you both to know how highly I think of you
and how much I respect you as people,
and I am dying inside
knowing how badly you want to be here
and how hard you've worked to be in this house.
And with that being said, I hope you can understand
how extremely difficult this decision was to make,

we were among the first people
to be grouped in together

- So I started off getting pulled to the Nether Region.
Then I'm on the block.
It's not been the start I imagined.
But I put on a brave face this entire week.
No one saw the fear in my eyes except me.
Three days straight of pure terror.
And now, for the first time this entire season,
I can breathe.
[sighs]
- I'm leaving Miss Felicia and Kirsten on the block
because I really have one target.
My target for the week is Kirsten.
There have been multiple people who have alerted me
to pot stirring, a lot of scheming,
and I don't see myself being aligned with someone
who is capable of that.
- Reilly turns that key, and whose face
pops up on the screen?
Mine, 'cause it's my boy!
This is the first step we needed.
Jared is off the block.
We're in the house together.
We may be here another week.
It all depends on the veto.
So I'm ecstatic.
- You know, it's the first week.
And to be one of the first of two nominees on the block,
I'm devastated.
But I can't let that take me down.
It's game on, baby.
Everybody's out for themselves.
But eviction night, they will not say bye, Felicia.

And will it be used to save either Kirsten
or Felicia from eviction?
