Head of Household Hisam

was part of the Professors alliance...

- And we taking the kids to school.

[school bell ringing]

- And the doctor wanted

to write Reilly a prescription for eviction.

- I have nominated you, Reilly, and you, Cameron.

For the Professors' sake and my sake, she has to go.

- Although Reilly was part of the Handful alliance...

all: [quietly] Ahh!

- They couldn't overcome

Hisam's dominance.

- Hisam. [all cheering]

- Look who has all the power this week.

- I'm hoping that my houseguests will help me

vote Reilly out and give us all an opportunity

to reestablish relationships

and figure out who we want to be aligned with.

- With the Professors

discussing their next targets...

- Do you have an opinion of who you think it might be?

And it--it comes across

as if what you have to say doesn't matter.

- Hisam's alliance began to turn on him.

- Not so fast, Mr. Hisam.

I got a brain too.

- And it looked like he might be

in their crosshairs next.

- Hisam is very scary right now.

- I know.

- I'm not gonna let

another man railroad...

Cirie tried to flip the vote.

- We have the votes to save Reilly.

We need to get everyone on board.

- She gonna be trying to take a shot at Hisam.

- If Reilly wins HOH, that's great.

- Exactly.

- There were some roadblocks.

- I get that Hisam has to go,

but I don't think that keeping Reilly is the answer to that.

Like, the math just ain't mathing for me.

- How are you? - Good.

I'm just checking in with you on what you're thinking.

- So the goal is Hisam.

But I would never put him up, because then

he'll know we're trying... - Yeah.

- To get him up. - Agreed.

- So he has to be backdoored. - Mm-hmm.

- We don't want him to play the Power of Veto.

- Right.

- So I need you to be a pawn for me this week.

[dramatic music]

You and Cam.

You and Cam are very good candidates

for winning Power of Veto.

You guys are not my target.

Hisam is the target for the house.

- What happens if Hisam wins and takes Cam down?

♪

- Oh, he's not gonna do that [...].

- But what if?

♪

- [sighs]

- Look, rule number one for anyone that knows

about "Big Brother" is that pawns go home.

Being stuck on the block

and not having Hisam next to me

is a terrible position for me to be in.

Hopefully, everything goes as planned

and come eviction night,

Hisam will be out there talking to Julie.

What about, like, Cory or America or the other folks?

- It's gonna be a red flag to Hisam.

I need him to be comfortable.

I know Jag isn't happy.

Nobody wants to sit on the block.

But if Hisam gets picked and wins Veto,

then Cameron or Jag is gonna have to go.

- I'm gonna just play it cool.

And I know whatever happens, whatever twist,

we'll be able to figure it out.

- We'll be able to figure it out.

- You'll be able to figure it out, I will, whoever is,

but we--we will be able to work together

and figure it out. - We'll be able

to work together. - Because--

- I think this is a great plan.

[tense music]

- I don't think there's ever been

a deaf person on "Big Brother."

- No.

Like, I had to tell you guys right away.

- Yeah. - Obviously, like,

I'm an athlete, and, you know,

my biggest struggle is,

like, everyone thinks, you know,

I'm, like, a big douchebag.

There's a reason why I seem like a douchebag.

It's 'cause I can't hear.

So I'm ignoring people, you know?

- Right. My first impression of you

was not a d*uche.

I--my first impression was that

you're gorgeous... - Thank you.

- And then beyond that--

- Appreciate that, thank you.

[laughter]

- And then beyond that, I was like, I--

I actually thought you seemed really sweet.

- Mm-hmm. - I just thought you were

quite reserved, you know? - Yeah, yeah.

No, I'm not a reserved person at all.

- Yeah. Right. - I am in the beginning

just because I'm observing and kind of like

getting comfortable, you know?

- Yeah. - Right.

- There's, like, so much more to it.

People just assume the first impression, like,

oh, he doesn't want to talk.

It's like, it's not because I think I'm too cool.

It's because I can't hear.

It felt really good to talk to Izzy and Cirie

about the struggles, letting them kind of

know what's been going on.

I think the best part is, like,

sharing that disability side of the world

that a lot of people don't see.

I'm very good at, like I said, one-on-one.

- Yeah. - Like in small group convos.

I'm very bad at big group.

You know, when you're having all these people talking,

you trying and listen to one-- try to--and then, like,

you hear, like, half the sentence,

and then you're, like, trying to make out of it.

And then you're like, it's already moving so fast,

so you don't know what... - Yeah.

- The next stuff. And it's like, okay, I'm lost.

- That's a whole new understanding

that you've just given me, in particular.

Like, yeah, I didn't even consider all of that.

I'm years old, and I don't think--

I can't remember that I've ever

closely encountered a deaf person.

So Matt is really educating me

on how the world is-- is to him,

and it tells me so much more about Matt.

It's so much more that we don't realize.

- Wow, that's so complex.

Once I just kind of got over that,

my confidence then went up, swimming got better,

and I just want to constantly prove the barrier

of what you can do. - Damn.

- You know, like, I have something that's

holding me back, but I'm not gonna let it, you know?

Because of my disability, it makes me even more

caring of a person because, like, I've had problems

and struggles growing up. - Yeah.

- So I can relate to other people

when they have issues and stuff.

- Absolutely.

- I feel like I just had a whole learning experience,

like, right now.

Seriously. I appreciate that, though.

Why?

And he's smart.

I'll consider some other options,

but by putting Cameron up on the block,

even if Hisam gets picked and we have a random draw,

there's a good chance that Cameron can beat him

in the Veto competition.

That's our goal. That's our hope.

I know that it's gonna go boom, Spidey senses.

go at that Veto harder than he's ever gone before.
