RG x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

- It's time for the story

of "Big Brother Reindeer Games."

Nine worthy competitors came to Santa's lodge,

but only four would be invited to my prestigious event.

The festive foursome left standing in the end

will be invited to compete in the annual Reindeer Games,

through crazy Christmas challenges.

- I'm crying in the Candy Cane Forest.

Oh!

- Oh, my God.

- Cameron, Cody, Danielle, and Josh

were sent h*-h*-home,

leaving only five on Reindeer Games Eve.

- We are one step away from playing in the Reindeer Games

and competing to win $,.

- Taylor was the first to earn her way--

- Congratulations, Taylor.

You have won this Jingle Bell Brawl.

- I've secured my spot, on my own, in the Reindeer Games.

- Which gave her the power to bring another.

- You will get to choose one other player to bring with you

to the Reindeer Games.

- Wow, congratulations.

- That's crazy.

- And she bestowed Nicole with that holiday honor.

- The person I choose is Nicole.

- Thank you. Oh, my God.

Thank you so much.

- Frankie earned the third slot.

- Congratulations, Frankie.

You have won yourself a spot in Santa's Reindeer Games.

- Sending Britney and Xavier

to the final Santa's Showdown.

[cheering] - There you go.

- And it was Xavier who would win the final spot

in the Reindeer Games--

[bell ringing] - Good hustle!

- It's been an uphill battle from day one,

but we've made it, and it feels good.

- Which meant Britney was going home for the holidays.

- Merry Christmas. [smooches]

[chiming]

- Tonight, my Xmas Extravaganza commences.

Which of the final four has the festive fortitude

to win it all and put $, under their tree?

Sip some cocoa, cozy up by the fire,

and get ready for the grand finale

of "Big Brother Reindeer Games."

X and Nicole, Taylor and Frankie,

which one will take K to the bankie?

[festive music]

[cheering]

- We made it to the end, we made it to the end.

- I am so excited that I made it to the Reindeer Games.

I feel like an underdog here because I have

the least amount of challenge wins,

but I want to prove to my son you can do anything

that you put your mind to.

- What's Santa got in store for us today?

- I was gonna say, here comes crazy.

We going to work on Santa. - Yah.

- I feel amazing that I'm here in the Reindeer Games.

I was never sent to Santa's Showdown,

which is all due to my excellent social game.

But I need to prove to myself that I am a worthy competitor,

so I'm ready to finish up this game and get that money,

You four have earned your ticket to the reindeer game.

- Yay! [clapping]

We certainly have.

- Yay! - Yes!

[cheering, clapping]

- The Reindeer Games will be a tournament.

There will be two, head-to-head semifinal matchups--

- Oh.

- And then a final showdown to crown this year's winner.

But before the games begin, I have one final

Naughty and Nice Challenge for you.

- Of course. - Of course.

- The winner of this will earn a huge advantage

in my Reindeer Games.

- Oh.

- Artwork has lived on the wall of the lodge

the entire time you've been here.

Last night, some troublemaking teenage elves

snuck into my lodge and stole one of the priceless paintings

on the wall and swapped it out for a forgery.

Your job is to search the lodge and identify

the fake painting.

When you think you know it, ring the silver bell

and name the forgery.

The first player who correctly identifies which painting

is the forgery will win the Naughty and Nice Power,

and at this point in the game,

that could be the difference between winning $,

or being sent home empty-handed.

[tense music]

The game starts now.

[exciting music]

- Oh, wow.

It's like, what?

- Where--Santa, you got a painting in here?

Finally, a test I've studied for.

I've been looking at these paintings in Santa's lodge

since day one, and I have been studying them

as hard as any law school exam I've ever taken.

Another painting in here. Any other paintings?

All of the ones in this room,

they've been here the entire time.

I'm moving on. Nothing in here.

- All the paintings in here look like the ones

that have always been in here.

Everything is looking the same.

- Well, that's new.

When I get into the kitchen, I notice three paintings.

And in the middle,

I see Mona Vixen.

Wait a second.

The last time I saw that painting it said,

Mona Blitzen.

I think I found our illegitimate painting.

- Ooh!

Ooh!

The forgery in Santa's Lodge is Mona Vixen.

- We have a winner!

Congratulations, Xavier.

You have won the Naughty and Nice Power.

Today, you will have a huge advantage

going into the Reindeer Games.

You alone will get to make the brackets for this tournament.

- Wow.

- You will decide who you want to go mistletoe-to-toe with

in the semifinals, which will also automatically determine

the other semifinal match.

Plus, the player you face off against

will have the disadvantage of starting seconds after you.

- No, it's amazing.

- Being able to determine the Reindeer Games bracket

is huge.

- My life in this game is in Xavier's hands.

He gets to pick the bracket.

He's going to probably go against me.

I'd pick me, too.

But it'd be really awesome if Xavier would pick Frankie.

Come on, Xavier.

We got to figure out the bracket.

- Yeah.

We're there.

The easiest thing for me would be for Xavier

to choose to take on Frankie himself,

and take him out of the games, and make my path

to the end all that easier.

But I'm ready for whatever the decision is.

I'll see you at finale. - Yep.

- Yep.

- I would rather Taylor and I be the final two

in the Reindeer Games.

So I've got to decide, do I want

to take on Frankie or Nicole,

and who do I want Taylor to battle against?

Do I take on Frankie now,

- Nicole claims her third bag of snowflakes.

- [gasps]

- Ooh, don't you dare.

Don't you dare.

We good? - There you go.

- Taylor claims her third bag of snowflakes.

- I think that the best way to win

this challenge is to have a stack

that goes wide as opposed to high.

If the stack is wide, I can spread out the weight evenly

and limit the chance that these snowflakes

fall apart.

But every time I make a good amount of progress,

the entire thing collapses.

No.

It's all right.

The only silver lining is, it's happening to Nicole too.

- [gasps]

- My stack keeps falling over and over and over again.

[snowflakes rattling]

- Good.

Go ahead.

- [exhales]

- No.

Ugh!

Every time it falls, you just feel like this is it.

You work so hard, finding the perfect angles

and the perfect weight for them all just to tumble down.

And you have to just, like, start over.

There's a million of 'em.

- You can fall, but none of you else can.

Nope.

- I know the ladies are going through it.

But I am stressed out watching this.

Oh, my God. It's so intense.

I'm like-- [groaning]

Who's going to win this bad boy?

♪ ♪

- I'm rooting for Taylor.

But just when you think someone has the lead,

a stack drops and we're back to square one.

I've never seen stacking snowflakes

be so intense.

And honestly, it's anybody's game.

- Both players have their third bag of snowflakes.

- This game is back and forth.

It's literally neck and neck.

Whenever she builds up her stack, it falls.

- It's OK. It's all right.

- Whenever I build up my stack, it falls.

- Just relax. - You're good.

You're good.

- I've worked too hard.

I've come so close to winning Reindeer Games.

I'm not going to let myself give up.

No. - No, no, no.

- Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

- Back. Always back in it.

- You already know how to do it, so do it again.

- I got to the third bag before Taylor,

but now she's on the third bag too.

So I need to figure these out

and stack them as quickly as possible.

And the third bag, there's these giant snowflakes.

They're very heavy.

And I quickly realize I'm going to have to put these

in the middle and at the bottom,

because they will not stay on the top.

- [whispers] Oh, my God.

- Just keep trying.
