Post by bunniefuu »

Julie: fans are calling it the curse of ainsley.

On premiere night, ten people voted not to allow ainsley

Into the game. So far, all six evicted

Houseguests were part of that group.

Will kimo be ainsley's seventh victim?

Welcome to live eviction night on "big brother"!

[Cheers and applause] announcer: previously on

"Big brother"... Quinn was crushing hard on leah.

I like being around her, you know.

Sue me. Announcer: as was joseph.

Of course I have a crush on leah.

Who wouldn't have a crush on her?

Announcer: she had romantic feelings for neither of them.

I like quinn as a person but I don't seem in a romantic way.

I do definitely have love for joseph pair probably in a more

Platonic way I would say. Announcer: meanwhile,

Chelsie was feeling a certain way about joseph.

We are still here. I don't even know.

I know how. How?

Your social game. Thanks, dude.

Mend stomach it wasn't good. Joseph thinks he's some kind

Of social mastermind and it's getting delusional.

Announcer: with quinn and power...

I have nominated you, angela, rubina, and kimo.

Announcer: he wanted angela gone.

I'm so confident she will be carried to the end of the game

At my expense. Announcer: her friend leah

Wanted her to stay. I don't think it would be as

Easy for me if you weren't here. I feel the same way about

You, genuinely. Announcer: a lights out

Veto competition. Where the heck is everything?

Announcer: leah emerged from the darkness with power.

Congratulations, leah. You have won the golden

Power of veto. Announcer: she wanted to

Save the mom. It would suck for angela to

Go this week because she is a solid ally for me.

Announcer: quinn tried to put the kibosh on her plan.

Please, please don't do it. Please, please.

Do not do this, leah, please. Announcer: at the veto

Meeting... I have decided to use the

Power of veto I'm angela. Announcer: quinn was forced

Put an ally up. Unfortunately, joseph, have

To name usi replacement nominee. Announcer: tonight, joseph,

Rubina, and kimo enter the ai arena.

Who will be saved from the block and who will be next time

Packing? Plus, how will ainsley change of

The game? Find out right now, live on

"Big brother"! Ow!

Oh, my god! ♪

Oh, my god! ♪

♪ [Cheers and applause]

Julie: good evening. I'm julie chen moonves.

Welcome to "big brother." It's day inside

The big brother house and the summer of veto is in full swing.

Seven vetoes have been won and, incredibly, all seven

Vtoes have been used. This week, with angela being

Taken off the block once again, joseph, rubina, and kimo find

Themselves in a do-or-die competition in the bb ai arena.

So, who will be left on the block after the three nominees

Face-off? We'll find out live tonight.

But first, joseph and quinn may be crushing on leah.

But it's leah who has done all the crushing.

This veto meeting is adjourned.

♪ I decided to use the veto on

Angela because she benefits my game by being here.

She someone who would not put me up on the block and someone that

I could absolutely count on in the jury house to vote for me to

Win the game. Quinn and joseph may not like it

But I have to play my own game. ♪

Leah uses the power of veto on angela and I'm just

Heartbroken. And to have my boy, quinn, what

The hell are you doing, dude? We are supposed to be close

Allies. "Big brother" .

Don't put your close ally on the block.

I had your back. Now I don't way to go, superfan.

Leah just blindsided me by using the veto.

Even though I begged her not to. She has to play her game and I

Get that. But keeping angela on the block

This week would have been great for me.

Now that she's not an option, I have to find a new target for

This week. Still on the block with one

Of my closest friends in the house.

I know I have to fight in the ai arena and pull it out so that I

Can take myself off the block and also help to protect rubina

And kep her in the house as well.

[Whispering] [crying]

I know that leah loves me and she's like a daughter to me and

I really do see her and I seriously going to the end

Together. How remarkable.

There's nothing I wouldn't do for you here.

Are you all right, man? Yeah, I just don't like that

That happens. I don't know why she prioritized

Angela. I mean, I get it.

I am pissed off at quinn. If I'm hoh next week, that kid

Is going on the block. I can't let them see that.

I have to act cool, calm, and collected.

Just asking that you help me get the votes.

I am. I'm not even going to push

Rubina or kimo. Joseph and I've been working

Together for a while. Like me, joseph is a superfan

And I firmly believe if I'm in the final two and he's injury,

He would appreciate again that I've been playing so I think

That by having him stay this week, I can line myself up to

Succeed in the end game. I sent rubina's boyfriend home

And then with kimo, I'm convinced he will hold a grudge

For me putting him on the block in low-key flipping on the

Visionaries. I'm not mad at you.

I understand you're in a tough spot.

What are your thoughts? I wasn't too surprised.

I wasn't either. The ideal scenario this week

Is that kimo or rubina wins in the ai arena and the two of us

Can vote to save each other. I think angela can be a good

Third vote but we will still need a fourth vote and it will

Have to be one of the people who basically just took a shot at u

Us. It might be tough to get one of

Them to vote with us. I think in this game there's a

Lot of pressure to do with the majority wants.

I respect her even more. I really do.

I respect her even more. I really do.

The night before the veto meeting I had a conversation

With angela where I might have let my hubris get the best of

Me. Honestly, angela, I don't see a

Way for you. To be quite frank with you.

And in some ways I'm amazed you're still here.

[Laughs] you know what I mean?

I'm going to go talk to angela with my tail talk between my

Legs. I'm a big enough person to admit

When I'm wrong. I just want to let you know that

The irony is not lost on me. [Laughs]

And I'm sorry if I made you feel like -- oh, I feel like you

Counted me out. I'm sorry to make you feel

That way. I know you didn't mean to him

And him it wasn't your intention.

Oh, my god, joseph, would you like a knife and fork to eat

Your words right now? Ah!

If you vote for me to stay, you know I've got your back.

I love you and I'm sorry you hurt your feelings.

Sick of him coming up to me and talking to me, it is empowering

In this moment. You are not as smart as you

Thought you were in this house. That means a lot.

Thank you, joseph. You are a good man.

You were singing my swan song and guess what.

I'm not going home. Maybe you are.

I just wanted to check on you.

I'm pretty blindsided. I don't understand.

I felt so confident she was not going to use it.

I did not know she was going to do that.

If I knew, I would have told you.

Do we have a preference between rubina and kimo.

Of who stays? Of who stays.

I think kimo would definitel% come from my head.

Probably me as well. How are you doing?

I'm so annoyed. I'm not even really mad at leah.

Just like damn, this woman made it through another week.

We need four votes. All we nee is four.

Who else is there to vote? Leah.

The next few days will be interesting conversation as to

Options about what we want to do.

I think I don't want joseph to stay.

I do think he's a target next week.

Between the two. I know both of them would put me

Up. Probably you as well.

I am on board with quinn to keep joseph.

I want kimo or rubina to go. Tucker, I know if one of them

Wins power they are going to come after me because now I'm

The big athletic threat. Going to have to get you first.

I don't think we can go home. Seems like quinn and cam are

Gung h* with keeping joseph know how I feel about that.

Especially after some of the things joseph has said.

I think you to come out of the women, are the best players.

Smart, social, physically capable.

It's not rocket science to see that.

All of these things combined tell me that joseph sees me as a

Threat. But I am working closely with

Cam and he needs to be nine or kimo to go this week.

So I might just have to risk joseph staying in the house.

Joseph. Rubina.

Kimo. Julie: up next, a public

Display of affection stirs up jealousy and the game.

Then, joseph, kimo, and rubina battle it out

In the bb ai arena. Who will win safety?

And later, ainsley has a surprise for everyone.

Stay with us. [Cheers and applause]

Julie: welcome back to "big brother."

Leah used the veto, betraying quinn while also jeopardizing

Joseph's game, but she can still do no wrong in their eyes.

♪ Do you hate me?

No. Should I be worried?

Not about me. One of my biggest worries

Using the veto on angela was that quinn and joseph would be

Mad at me. But at the same time, who could

Stay mad at me? If joseph should be mad at

Anyone, it should be quinn because quinn is the one who put

Joseph on the block. Don't think for a second that I

Want you out of this game ever. And let's be honest, if quinn

And joseph trust each other a little less, that means they

Will trust me a little more. That was horrible.

It's going to be a-ok. I do know that.

I'm really scared, guys. You know how much this means to

Me. I've got you.

We both know. Laying it on a little bit

Sick on them so I can pull on some heartstrings.

But make no mistake, I am super pissed at quinn.

Is joseph actually not upset or is he just saying he's not

Upset? Even if he is mad at me, he

Should have bigger fish to fry. I feel bad but I think it

Will end up working in all of our favor.

I hope so. I am annoyed at leah's

Decisin to use the power veto but maybe I'm a fool.

I just can't stay mad at her. She's like, I've got these

Two nerds doing my bidding. What are you talking about?

I was annoyed with leah when she was the veto but I'm going

To let it go because she's cool so I might as well keep working

With her. You guys will see that it

Benefits all of us. You are a super villain.

The fact that you think you can get away with this is what's

Crazy to me. What are you talking about!

I don't want to say that they are wrapped around my finger bu

But... Hey.

I'm going to be nice enough. I will give you this blanket.

If I scratch your head? Over the past few weeks, cam

And I have developed a really special friendship.

But as time goes on, it's been really hard for me to see him

Get really touchy-feely with makensy.

And it's making me feel a way. ♪

She was walking in her room, and I was like joseph is in your

Closet. [Laughter]

Now I'm beginning to see a pattern.

This is becoming a little bit too much, little overt and I'm

Getting a little bit tired of seeing it.

Oh mile my. I don't even have to look.

Good night to all into all good night.

See you all in the morning. Happy to know you.

I am leaving too then. Hey, girl.

I don't want to be in there. That's why I came down here.

I wanted to check on you. It's annoying for me.

Of course I'm feeling for chelsie on a personal level.

That sucks. But cam is doing things that's

Kind of pushing chelsie away, maybe I can use it to my

Advantage of it. If joseph loses in the ai arena,

I have three votes to get him out but I just need one more to

Ensure it and I think that chelsie can be that.

How are you feeling about the game?

Honestly my perspective is I want to take kimo as far as I

Can but my priority is you and rubina.

Quinn wants to keep joseph. I know.

I'm not a fan of joseph. I need to stop playing this

Game for any man in this house I need to start prioritizing my

Game. If keeping joseph here is better

For quinn and cam's game, fine but I'm not here to play their

Game. I'm here to play my game and

That might mean sending joseph home.

I am sick of these men. You know I mean?

I agree. It will help someone in

People's games. Yeah.

Or kimo. People have to vote joseph

Out and we have to work hard to make sure that happens.

Julie: up next, joseph, kimo, and rubina go

Head-to-head-to-head in the bb ai arena.

Who will win and claim their safety?

Find out next. Stay with us.

[Cheers and applause]

[Cheers and applause] welcome back to "big brother."

Kimo won in the very first bb ai arena.

Can he win his safety once again?

Rubina felt safe when angela was on the block, but now her

Only true shot at safety is a victory tonight.

Joseph has been throwing competitions all season long.

But this is one he just might want to win.

Let's head to the bb ai arena and get things started.

Joseph, kimo, and rubina, welcome to the bb ai arena.

This is your last opportunity to remove yourself from the

Chopping block. Remember, the winner will be

Safe, while the two losers will immediately return to the house

To face an eviction vote. My competition this week is

Called "bandwidth boosters" and here are the rules

To my game. I need you to connect a new

Fiberoptic cable to my server to increase my global reach.

On "go," weave yourself through the web of fiberoptic cable

To untangle it. You must unravel the cable until

It is long enough to reach the input at the end of your lane.

If you attempt to reach your input but do not have enough

Cable, you must go back and continue untangling.

The player who untangles their cable and plugs into their input

First will be removed from the block!

Good luck, players. Julie: thank you, ainsley.

All right, nominees. Do you all understand the rules?

Yes! Julie: excellent.

Then get ready, because this competition starts now.

















♪ [Cheering]

♪ [Cheering]

Rubina! Julie: congratulations,

Rubina! You have won this competition

And you, rubina, are now officially off the block.

However, I do need all three of you to please return to the

Big brother house immediately because the live eviction will

Be starting shortly. Good job, rubina.

Thank you. Oh, my god.

Good job. I needed this.

I'm so proud of you. I needed this.

That was hard. Julie: so rubina is safe

And joseph and kimo must now face their housemates

As they cast their votes to evict.

Who's headed home? Stay with us.

[Cheers and applause]

Julie: welcome back to "big brother."

Having just triumphed in the bb ai arena,

Rubina is now safe. Let's head to the living room

Their votes with one brief statement.

Joseph, you're up. Shout out to my family and

Friends and thank you, cbs for this awesome opportunity.

Houseguests, please stick to what we talked about and keep me

In this house. I want to keep fighting and I

Feel like I have proven myself to be a loyal player in this

Game. If you keep me, I'll keep doing

That. If not, it's been a beautiful

Experience with all of you and I love each and every one of you

Individually and that's it. Julie: thank you, joseph.

Kimo. I love you all.

I came in with two dreams, one for my brother and one for

Myself and I'm not ready for this to end and I really want to

Play this game. I've been waiting my entire life

To do this but I want to provide visibility, representation for

Who I am as a q*eer person and native hawaiian.

I love you all. Please keep me in this house.

Julie: think you, kimo. Thank you both.

It's time for the live voting to begin.

Vote. Neither are the two nominees.

At one at a time you will enter the diary room and cast your

Vote to evict vote to evict. Tonight it takes four votes to

Be evicted. Makensy, you're up first.

Please go to the diary room. Makensy is worried that kimo

Would target her. Is this her chance to strike

Hi. You look stunning.

Julie: thank you. I feel like I'm giving makensy

Vibes. You are.

You look beautiful. Julie: we have business.

Please cast your vote to evict. I sadly vote to eve that --

To evict joseph or kimo. With one vote each, it's a tie.

Let's continue with the live voting.

Leah feels bad using the veto has put her friend joseph in

Jeopardy but is keeping him best for her game?

Hi, leah. Hi, julie.

You look ravishing. Julie: thank you.

Please cast your vote to evict. I sadly vote to evict kimo.

Julie: thank you. Thank you.

Julie: t'kor and kimo have been a final two since early in

Happy birthday, beyonce. ♪

Julie: 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 belongings, and walk out the front door.

By a vote of -. Joseph, you are evicted from the

Big brother house. Good job, guys.

I didn't know. [Crying]

See you, guys. Good game.

Love you, buddy. I love you guys.

Take it easy. Good game, y'all.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

[Crying]

[Coughing] what was in the ai arena?

They had you running? I don't know how to explain

It. I don't know if you've ever seen

In "survivor" we have to untangle the rope but it's up to

You. All of the ropes are in a jungle

Gym type thing and have to jump in and out.

When you have it long enough. Julie: the curse of ainsley

Has been broken. When we return,

I'll talk one on one with joseph, the last person evicted

Before the jury begins! Stay with us.

[Applause]

[Cheers and applause] julie: welcome back

To "big brother." I'm sitting here with joseph who

Was just evicted by a vote oh -.

You look shocked. I'm not angry.

I'm surprised. Julie: why?

A lot of people told me I was good that I felt would keep

Their word to me so I'm really not sure what happened.

Julie: who told you that? You said, let's stick to the

Plan. What plan and who were you

Speaking to? I was speaking to cam,

Chelsie, makensy specifically. I felt like I had angela and

Leah's vote no matter what. Me and rubina had made a deal

Where we would vote for whomever of us came off or was still on

The block. Julie: you did get leah and

Angela's vote. Obviously t'kor and rubina did

Not vote to keep you. Do you know who the other two

Are? I would guess cam and makensy

Did. Julie: cam voted to keep

You. Cam and makensy voted to keep

Me. Julie: no, makensy voted

You out. Your reaction?

I don't know why she voted me out.

That's strange to me. I felt like me and her had a

Decent relationship and she had almost no relationship with kimo

So I don't really know why she did that, to be honest.

Julie: the fourth was chelsie.

That doesn't surprise you, doesn't it?

I think she would've been the one to vote me out.

We have a little bit of a rocky relationship.

I felt like I was gaining back some trust with her.

I am surprised, yeah. Julie: are you feeling

Betrayed right now? It's "big brother."

It is what it is. I've been lying to people all

Summer so I would be a huge hypocrite to be like, you're

Lying to me. Good game to all of them.

Julie: you didn't make waves.

You purposely didn't win competitions.

And kimo won a competition. Why do you think ultimately they

Chose to keep him and not you? No offense to kimo but maybe

They found me to be the more strategic player.

I was good with everybody. Other people saw that, maybe

They found that more threatening than somebody who was kind of a

Lone wolf at this point. I don't really know why.

Julie: you like and your style of playing to dr. Will

Kirby who won season two, came back for all-star season seven.

Do you regret playing it the way --

I don't regret that specifically.

I feel like I made several mistakes this week that cost me.

I should've gone to quinn and been like bro, do not put me up.

I should've gone to leah. I should've been more emphatic

With both of them that this is bad for your game if I leave.

That way they both would have done it.

I feel like they made pretty silly moves to be honest and I

Should have been more on them to not do it.

Julie: why didn't you go to them?

I didn't believe leah is going to use it and I did tell

Quinn, I don't this is a good idea.

I didn't think she was going to use it and sometimes when you

Press people superhard it makes them want to do the opposite.

Maybe I should have tried harder.

Julie: are you mad at quinn?

I'm not mad at him. I think it was idiotic of him to

Put me up there in the first place.

I genuinely had his back. I'm not mad at him.

I don't think he did it on purpose.

Julie: listlessness of your messages.

You wanted to ride tucker's coattails and you did right on

Out the door. I'm not sad is a game player but

I'm sad as a friend. Getting to know you was an

Honor. I love you.

See you soon. Joseph, it's been an absolute

Leisure getting to joe you. Thank you for the laughs, tears,

Good times. Welcome to the dojo.

See you soon. Joseph, I'm really sorry.

I know how much this meant to you.

You were one of my favorite people in the house.

Love you, karate joe. Never change.

Joseph, I know you had a hand in me sitting on the block and

Quite frankly I thought you did have this game in the bag.

I really can't say I'm sorry to see you go and I am singing your

Swan song. Bye.

That's funny. I really had nothing to do with

Her being up there. That's funny.

Julie: she voted out kimo, not you.

It's funny when she pointed that out when I really didn't.

Julie: final thoughts? This has been a magical

Experience. I got the key to come in the

House. I thought I was going to be the

First one out and I made it way further than I thought I would.

All in all, it's a good experience.

Only one person against win. Others get to lose and I'm

One of those people but just being here super amazing.

Thank you so much. Julie: joseph, thank you.
