- Previously on "Big Brother,"

the double eviction saw Cameron and Jared booted.

- By a vote of to , Cameron,

you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

[dramatic music]

By a vote of to , Jared,

you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

♪

- But a twist from the Scary-verse...

- BB zombies are coming after the double eviction.

- Sent them back in the game. [all exclaiming]

- Oh, my God!

- With normal game play out the window...

- There will be no head of household,

no nomination ceremony, no veto competition,

and no veto meeting.

- A spooky showdown between the zombies would commence.

- The winner of this upcoming Resurrection Rumble

will have the power to decide whether they will compete

in individual do-or-die competition

to resurrect their own game

or force the other zombie to compete.

- And Cameron and Jared went to battle in a boneyard brawl.

- End of round one, tied up to .

This competition isn't over yet.

- After three nerve-wracking rounds...

- Slow down.

- The space "zom-boy" got one step closer to resurrection.

[bell dinging] - Thank you. Thank you.

Let's go.

Winning this competition was essential.

The fate of my game now lies in my hands.

- With chaos unleashed, new alliances were forming.

Matt, Jag, and Blue teamed up with America and Cory.

- Obviously, we trust each other and then Blue.

But when it comes to who we're gonna move forward with,

I think we really need to trust Cory and America.

- But the trio also formed something new with Cameron.

- Instead of The Handful, we're The Tinkers now.

[laughs] - Yeah, just The Tinkers.

- We're The Tinkers.

- Meanwhile, Americory were also

cutting their own side deal with Mecole and Felicia.

- Basically, like, the door down.

I'm down. - Yes.

- You know? - Oh, yeah.

- And maybe nobody's gonna see it coming.

- [laughs] Yeah. - Nobody would.

You know what I mean? - Yeah. Right.

- Which put them on Matt's radar.

- That was a little suspicious.

I have to assume that Cory is covering his bases.

I'm doing the same with Cameron,

covering my bases with him.

The only difference is, I don't get caught.

- With a live do-or-die competition before him...

- All right, Cameron.

Will you take on the challenge

and put your fate in your own hands,

or do you want to pass it to Jared?

- I'm gonna go ahead and take this one all myself, Ms. Julie.

- Cameron took the reins.

- Here we go.

- And he earned a new lease on his Big Brother life.

[cheers and applause] - Congratulations, Cameron.

Your game is officially resurrected.

- But it was sadly sunset for Cirie's son.

- Hold your head up. Hold your head up.

All the way up. Keep your head up.

Keep your head up.

- Ah. You did good.

- Bye, y'all.

[dramatic music]

- Tonight, the game resumes with the final ten

vying for Head of Household.

Who will win the power?

And which two houseguests will be put on the chopping block?

Ecstatic.

Cannot believe that I have worked myself

Not only is it time to get geared up for HOH,

this is time to kick this bad boy into high gear.

Now, it is time to play the crap out of this game.

The gloves are off now, though. I don't owe anybody anything.

The people I love are gone.

Now, these are just strangers and vultures and serpents.

♪

- Ah. Who's in here?

Who's in here? - Just us.

Hoo!

Cameron wins the Do or Die, and I am so stoked about it.

I ideally wanted camera to come back because him, Matt,

and I have an alliance already.

And I trust that he'll work with us

and we can move forward together.

- Oh. Oh, no.

You gotta pull it together. - Mm-hmm.

- Keep it together.

We still got business.

- Oh, yeah. - You're gonna be fine.

- Mm-hmm. - We got you, girl.

- Cameron just won the Do or Die competition,

so unfortunately, Jared has left the game.

Of course I'm gonna miss my little Pooh Bear,

just having someone to strategize with,

or just talk to, or just, like, relax with.

- This just means this is what was supposed to be.

- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

That's all we got to focus on right now.

so I could be Miss HOH and avenge my Pooh Bear.

I'm definitely glad it's over,

But now, the whole game is reset,

and this Head of Household is crucial.

- Let's do this.

So Cory and I are working with Matt and Jag,

but we also have this side alliance

with Mimi and Felicia.

But I'm not sure if I can fully trust them,

so I'm really hoping that me and Cory are able

to pull through and get this win.

♪

- Attention, Earthlings.

We've got a Martian mishap on our hands.

Rockets from the BB Comic-verse have crash-landed

in the backyard, and it's up to you to put them back together

so the Martians can get home.

Here's how it works.

[Martian beacon blares]

When the Martian beacon blares,

you may begin to take your spaceship pieces

to the launch pad.

There, you must assemble the rocket,

which has been broken into pieces.

Once you've correctly assembled your rocket,

race back to the beginning of your lane

and hit your button to send your aliens

back home to the BB Comic-verse.

[spacecraft beeping]

The speediest space cadet to correctly

assemble and launch their rocket

will be crowned the new Head of Household.

Who's ready to play We Come in Pieces?

[cheers and applause]

[dramatic music]

because I don't have anyone protecting me.

I'm a lone wolf in this game now.

Jared's gone. Izzy's gone.

So I really have to win this HOH.

♪

- I'm super excited for this Head of Household competition.

The power has shifted in this house.

With Jared going, it's really broken up a lot of groups.

I really don't want Cirie, Felicia, or Mimi to win.

I used to be in an alliance with them.

I totally trusted them.

I just can't trust them anymore,

and it's a lot safer for me

to work with people who haven't burnt me.

coming off of the Do or Die competition.

I'm still in the zone. I'm still focused.

My heart rate's up, but I'm calm.

Now, I want to prove that I can win HOH comps.

And by coincidence, I happen to be looking a little bit

alien myself with this hair.

I can see stickers that are cut in half

which obviously need to be matched up between two pieces.

Place them out on the ground and start building

and then place it on the blocks.

- You know, I learned a lot this week

talking, listening,

about deals and who's aligned with who.

I feel good with Matt and Jag.

But as a zombie,

I was hearing about a lot of deals

that I wasn't a part of.

- How was your convo with Mimi?

[suspenseful music]

- It was okay.

She was basically saying that me and Cory are safe,

that she feels good with us wanting to bring in Felicia.

- [laughs]

- I was just like, okay. Like, you too, girly.

Like, I got you. You know, whatever.

I don't buy it.

So I'm talking with Matt and Blue,

and I want to be fully transparent with them

with what's going on with Mimi and Felicia.

So I tell them that me and Cory made a deal with them

just to make them feel safe.

And honestly,

I did not even notice Zombie Cam in a corner,

hearing everything.

Do zombies even have ears?

that makes this HOH even more important.

I crushed the puzzle competition day one.

♪

- And America is first to complete her puzzle.

- So I'm feeling confident about this.

My strategy is looking at the pictures on the sides

and trying to match up the words.

There's different little bumper stickers on them.

So I'm trying to get the different puzzle pieces

and shape them together.

♪

- I feel like I'd be good at this comp, right?

It's a puzzle. I'm the brain guy.

The problem is, apparently I'm not very good at puzzles.

Because I'm seeing all these pieces,

I'm not seeing how they're going to fit together.

- I think the most challenging part

is how quickly I have to go.

It's a puzzle, and I don't know where everything goes.

Like, there's a lot of pieces

and I don't have that much time to actually step back

and take a look at all the pieces.

So it's a time crunch.

♪

- I'm thinking to myself, like, I'm putting it together.

And then it's, like, all in French. [laughs]

I don't know where I went wrong.

But at some point,

I was fluent in puzzle and then I was not.

♪

Oh, man.

- Typically, I am good at puzzles.

I'm always like, a puzzle? Yes.

I can do a puzzle. But I just--

[slide whistle blows]

Once you actually start going,

if you get one piece out of place,

they get all intermingled.

And now it's like, wait a minute.

Where's the other piece that I knew

went together with this piece?

And so my aliens probably aren't gonna get home

any time soon.

[dramatic music]

♪

- I'm not gonna lie.

I had a pretty low expectation

when I realized we're doing a puzzle competition.

I was like, "This ain't for me."

But as I'm doing it, I'm kind of realizing

I'm slaying the boots down with this puzzle.

This one's for you, Jared.

[alien giggles]

♪

- So I have a decent amount of this puzzle finished

before I realized that there are actually

images on here that need to be correctly placed.

Now, I have to scrap everything that I'm doing

and start from scratch.

Ugh!

- I see Matt almost done, Cameron almost done.

Jag, over there, is almost done.

It quickly becomes clear

I'm probably not gonna win this competition.

Ideally, Matt and Jag just win this competition.

And if they win, they'll keep me and America safe.

And they'll have to be the ones to draw the line in the sand

and nominate people.

I only have a few pieces left,

I feel really good about this.

Luckily, the week prior I spent basically paving the road

for the future that I wanted.

I have plans that I've laid down.

Now that I'm HOH, I'm hoping all the groundwork

that I did pays off this week.

Oh, my God.

Is everything gonna go Cameron's way this week?

- Hey-o. - Hi-o.

- What's up? - Some twists?

- I actually will take you up on that.

- It seems to be the snack of choice.

The best part about being HOH is everyone comes in the door

with their little black book.

- How are your conversations? - Quick.

And they start throwing out names

like a small town raffle.

- Bro, I need Cory out of this house.

I just need to break him, Matt, and Jag up.

- Start driving the bus.

- What do you think about Blue?

- I got two options that I'm running around in my head.

At time like this, I take in as much information as I can.

- Hey.

- What up?

- Well, one thing I do want to ask you--

- Okay.

- You and I have never talked game this whole season.

- Yeah.

- What is that?

- I figured you were talking game with everybody else.

And I was just there when I needed to do something.

That's how I felt.

- But several times, I said, "So what's your thoughts?

What's your plan?" And, "Oh, everything's good."

And so I've just left it there because I'm not a pusher.

- Right.

- In all my conversations, I'm not a pusher.

- I've never felt like there was

the invitation for game talk.

- Hmm.

- It was more or less, you guys planned things.

[suspenseful music]

♪

And then I was kind of left out there

to go do what I needed to do.

♪

Intent versus impact.

And all throughout that time over the past month or so,

my name was getting drug around this house

like I was some sort of evil monster.

"Don't get close to him. Don't talk to him.

"He's a liar. He's a manipulator.

He's a this. He's a that."

- Everybody's chasing you because you really

are the number one player in the house,

and the whole house knows that.

So again, I work off of feeling and gut feelings and--

like, my gut tells me you're putting me on the block.

I don't know why, but that's what my gut tells me.

♪

- Is this the standoff?

- No. I don't do standoffs.

- You're a hell of a competitor.

You are easily

the greatest persuader inside of this house.

- Well, actually that's where you're wrong.

- See, you're doing it already.

- No. You know who the greatest persuader is?

And this is what I discovered. - Mm?

- It's Cirie.

- Yeah?

- Don't be fooled.

Cirie is the real threat, not me.

Now, truth be told, I am a threat.

But I don't want to go on the block.

So whatever I need to do to stay off of the block,

I'm going to do it.

I love Cirie to death.

But I know that a lot--

she's done a lot of underhanded manipulating.

And I'd like to go as far as I can,

and I'm not ready to stop playing.

- If I'm sitting in them two chairs

and the possibility of confetti,

do I have your vote of winning this game?

- If you're sitting in those two chairs

and I'm not sitting next to you,

I would give you my vote.

And I say that sincerely.

Because I sit here and say,

you have played a hell of a game.

I'm not kidding you.

- That's a lot.

- I ain't gonna look you in the face and tell a lie.

- Mm-hmm. - There's four votes.

You need four. - Mm-hmm.

- I'll be one of your four.

- Well, I appreciate that.

I appreciate that.

There's only gonna be seven people

on the jury for Finale Night.

So I need to target someone that I definitely don't want

in the jury house, which is arguably the most

important decision thus far.

Since I'm HOH, it's my decision.

I call the shots this week.

- Well, I'm asking you to let me keep playing the game.

♪

- Oh, how are you, buddy? - Good.

Well, right now, pretty good. - Yeah.

[laughter]

Should be pretty easy to be you.

- Been a couple of weeks. - Oh, yeah, %.

- Been a rough couple. - I mean, listen.

I think that you should be damn proud of yourself.

- Thank you.

- As a fan of the show,

and now being a competitor in it,

it has been amazing to watch.

- Thank you so much for that. - Yeah. So you've done great.

- Cool. I know exactly who my target is this week.

But I'm going to need to sit my target next to a pawn.

And that decision is almost as important

as the target themselves.

Big decision.

[suspenseful music]

- Going into this week, how are you feeling?

- What's-what's the vibe?

- I think you know the vibe. - Yeah?

- Yeah.

I mean, I'm not gonna be weird about it.

- Yeah.

- But you are absolutely not in danger.

You're not a target. You're not anything.

Like, it is just a situation.

And I think that you know what we probably need to do.

- This man said, "I think you know the vibe."

What?

He is being super cryptic right now.

So the vibe is me going up on the block as a pawn?

Those don't seem like my kind of vibes.

- I love you. I love the person that you are.

- Thank you.

- So don't think that there's any malice

or crazy intention behind this, only other than to make sure...

- Yeah.

- That you aren't put in a position

that would hurt your game. - Yeah.

- And I can't paint to you any more clearly that...

- Yeah. - You're good.

- Okay. - And that's what I feel.

And that's--I wouldn't make this move if I didn't think so.

- Yeah.

- I just never wanted you to get a weird,

uneasy feeling about me and that, you know,

there was something weird here.

Absolutely not. - Yeah.

- And it's rough pickings and they're getting slim.

- Oh, yeah. - And I'm so sorry.

It's just the game.

- Even if I'm not "the target" this week,

Cam better watch out.

Y'all about to see a different side of me.

I'm trying to keep it cute.

But my last good nerve has finally diminished.

And if I stay in this house, I'm coming for his a*s next.

- I fully believe you're not in danger.

You're going to be just fine.

- All right.

I have nominated you, Felicia, and you, Mecole.

Ms. Felicia, there are many aspects to this game.

And one of the most important is conversation,

MeMe, I am no stranger

I nominated Felicia and MeMe.

Hell no.

MeMe is her best friend.

I cannot have MeMe winning the Power of Veto

- Last time Cameron was HOH, he got a little bit chaotic.

I was nervous something unexpected would happen.

But this time, Cameron came through.

He didn't go rogue. He made the easy nominations.

And I can take a deep breath.

- Back on the block again. Cameron makes me nauseous.

I won't say it caught me off guard.

But I'm trying to figure out, now, what's his angle?

Why is he so set on getting me out of the house?

I'm winning veto.

I don't want to have to rely on going and asking people

for they vote.

I need to win to pull myself off the block.

- Like, this legitimately is some bull[...] right now.

I cannot wait to go out there and play my a*s off.

I need, need, need a win this week.

They will have to drag me out of this Veto comp.

You hear me?

Drag me, because I refuse to leave

unless I have that Power of Veto in my hands.

Y'all gonna be like, Mecole--

just like that.

- Who will win the Power of Veto?

And will it be used to save either Mecole

or Felicia from eviction?
