28x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

It was a Big Brother week for the ages.

A chaotic clash, a torrent of tears,
and a plan to topple Rome that puts the

pickleball pro...
in a real pickle.

Welcome to Live Eviction Night on Big
Brother.

Previously on Big Brother...

Dee and Devon's formed the Crossovers
Alliance.

Crossovers...

As well as the Red Corner.

But with Devon's in power...
Congratulations, Devon.

You are the next head of household.

Yeah, boy!

We got another survivor HOH in the Big
Brother house.

He and Dee decided to make a super
alliance.

And the Tool Shed was born.

You're a tool?

You're a tool?

Tool Shed.

Rome was their top target.

I would backdoor Rome.

If you don't get him out now, we're all
doomed because he has half the house.

So Devon's didn't give him a chance to
play for the veto.

I've nominated you, Melody, Lyric,
and Jason.

In the year 2026... Oh, my God.

No!

Angela became quite the sight.

The hard-boiled detective!

While back in 1967...

The golden power of veto.

Thank you.

Devon's was out of sight.

The plan I put in
place at the nomination

ceremony to try and
backdoor Rome is on track.

Rome and Lyric concocted a plan to save
their showmance.

The worst-case scenario is me and Lyric
being on the block together.

So the best plan is for us to pretend
we're broken up.

And the attorney made a plea to get her
nomination dismissed.

Truly, if you use this
veto on me, I promise, if I

ever get ahead of Household,
you will not be going up.

For real?

I promise.

I think this is a great pitch from Lyric,
and I'd love to hear it.

At the veto meeting, Lyric was safe.

I have decided to use the power of veto on
Lyric.

But her pickleball boy toy was not.

Rome, I've got to nominate you.

Tonight, Rome, Melody, and Jason go to
battle in the BB Blockbuster.

Who will escape the chopping block?

And which of them will be the next sent
packing?

Find out right now, live on Big Brother.

It's going to be awkward now to walk on
these eggshells.

Good evening.

I'm Julie Chen Moonves.

Welcome to Big Brother.

It's day 17 inside the Big Brother house.

And after the dust settles from a week
that will live on in the Big Brother

history books, Rome,
Jason, and Melody arrive

on eviction night with
their games on the line.

But tonight, the BB Blockbuster looms
large.

Will the three reality icons' plan come to
fruition?

Will the summer showmance be saved?

Or will the drag queen race to safety?

We'll all find out live tonight.

But first, they found love on day two.

But will week two tear them apart?

This veto meeting is adjourned.

I decided to take Lyric off the block.

I put Rome up.

This has been the plan all along.

I still want Rome to go home this week.

Worst case scenario, Rome wins the
Blockbuster.

At that point, we can still send Jason out
the door.

Not a bad backup plan.

Man, oh man.

Congrats.

Thank you.

It's a bittersweet moment right now.

I just came off the block, but Rome went
up.

He is literally the one person I trust in
here.

But this is a game,
and I have to play it for

me, and so I'm grateful
that I'm off the block.

Let's just pray that Rome gets that
Blockbuster, and he comes off.

Lyric, thank God.

Option number one is winning the
Blockbuster.

But even if I don't, I feel like I do have
the votes to stay.

But I'm not 100% sure about really any one
of those people.

Hey.

Sorry.

No, you're good.

I got this.

I got this.

I'm not surprised that
I'm still on the block,

but I am happy that Rome
is on the block with me.

At this point, I have to take care of
myself.

It really is a true Brokeback Mountain
scenario, honey.

But I can quit Rome, trust.

I have to if I want to stay in this game.

Love you, buddy.

Thank you.

I love you, too.

I love you.

I tried to make that very clear.

You're an awesome dude.

I appreciate you.

It has nothing to do with anything
personal.

As soon as Devin's used that veto to save
Lyric, I knew I'm going on the block.

If your plan is to take someone off the
block and put me on the block,

I would appreciate if you took Lyric off
the block and put me on.

It's like a win-lose situation.

I win in the sense
that she's off the block,

but I lose in the sense
that I'm on the block.

Right now, I'm the alpha dog that's got
the big tar guys back.

I'm going to try my best to win that
blockbuster, but if I don't, I need seven votes.

Time to get to work, and if not,
have my allies come through the woodwork.

Melody, girl, I think you're okay.

I think I'm good, but also, I don't want
to be too confident.

Yeah.

No matter who you sit next to,
if you're up there, you're fine.

Yeah.

This really sucks.

Obviously, I hate being on
the block, but with Rome being

the replacement nominee,
things could have been way worse.

Rome is a very strong
physical threat, and he

doesn't really seem to be
on many people's good side.

I'm feeling a little less
confident against Jason because

people might want to keep
him in order to gain a number.

I'd be so iconic if I won.

You should be a baller.

Don't even sit on that block.

Right now, Rome is public enemy
number one, and he's a great

shield for me, so having him
here is a good thing for me.

There's more loyalty when it comes to me
and Melody.

It would be perfect for me this week if
Jason was the one to go home.

Dude, how cool.

You get to play another comp.

Hopefully, I get a win on my resume.

You should throw this.

Actually?

That I should throw this?

Yeah, you should throw the blockbuster.

Why?

So then we can get rid of you.

Obviously, g*n for it.

Yeah.

I want to promise you one thing.

I promise on the outside, I'll be waiting
for you.

You think I'm leaving?

No, I don't think you are.

What the f*** is that?

No, but I'm just saying.

Actually, it would be me waiting for you
if I was on the outside.

I don't want to be anything on the
outside.

Me too.

Don't worry.

I'm not going anywhere.

Okay, baby.

All right?

I love you.

Thank you so much for protecting me.

Okay.

All right.

You believe me?

I believe you.

I'm not going anywhere.

Okay.

Please win the blockbuster.

You got it, baby.

How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

How about you?

Good.

It's good that you got off, bro.

Yeah, I know.

I feel really good about that.

Obviously, I feel bad about this.

We just need Rome to win.

We need Rome to win the blockbuster.

Yeah.

I don't have a good feeling about votes.

No, me too.

If it was just me in a box voting,
I would prefer to keep Rome.

Because I know ten toes down, I think Rome
is still a number for me.

Especially after his game's been blown up.

He needs me.

Rome, I know 100%.

Would not vote for me.

No, he wouldn't.

We need him to win.

I know.

I love him.

I really do.

I love me some Rome.

But we gotta really think about how we're
moving forward.

I really think that if it comes
down to Rome and someone

else and we're the outcast
votes, that's not good for us.

Because we're going on the block next
week.

But how they gonna know it's us?

If Rome and Melody are
sitting up there, I would

personally like to keep
Rome in this house.

But unfortunately, we would need a few
more people.

As long as Rome here, they not worried
about me.

Yep.

Don't turn on me, y'all.

Don't be turning on me.

Try to turn on me.

You don't need to worry about that.

Never.

You guys don't have to worry about that
with me either.

I know.

That's why we stand in this kitchen
talking together.

Here are the people that I think would
vote for Rome to stay.

Taylor, Lala, me, Yash.

I could get Mallory.

And whoever comes off the block,
Melody or Jason, those are six votes.

We need seven for him to stay.

So anyone on the other side of the house
would have to vote in favor of Rome.

But at this point, I'm
just going to cross my

fingers and hope that
Rome wins that blockbuster.

Up next, cracks are beginning to show in
the Tool Shed Alliance.

Then, Rome, Jason and Melody head into
battle in the BB Blockbuster Arena,

who will emerge victorious and save their
game.

Plus, tomorrow's Big Brother Unlocked will
have a special guest.

A special celebrity guest.

Who is it?

You'll have to stick around to find out.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

Tonight's vote could split up
the summer's first showmance,

but a budding romance could
spell danger for another nominee.

They're making it so obvious.

They're all in the storage room right now.

The people who have stayed with Rome.

This one?

All right, you ready?

Three, two, one.

What about now?

I did not think it would last this long.

It stays a while, by the way.

Always with the opps.

I'm telling you.

I don't think Rome's going to last very
long.

I don't think so either.

They're all in the storage room at like...

Gosh.

Rome, the girls.

Of course.

It doesn't take an egghead to see that Drew
is working the other side of the house.

Selfishly, I might add.

I don't know what he's told them.

And he's probably in here laughing at all
of us, thinking no one's on to him.

Well, I have news for you, Drew.

I see right through you.

That little clue is dangerous.

I know.

Drew.

I know.

Drew and Melanie got a little thing going
on.

As much as I think it's
so cute, it's not working

right now because this
compromises the tool shed.

So I gotta figure out a way to put Drew in
a position where he has to either vote

against Melody or we get the numbers
against Melody.

Because I don't want Melody in this game.

Drew is running this house.

He thinks he's being nonchalant,
but I am on to him.

This is a game we gotta end that on.

Egg it on, baby.

How are you doing 12 days into this game?

A little crazy, you know.

And I feel like there's
people that if they get

power, they'll put me
on the block next week.

I feel like Adee would put me up.

Do you think so?

I think she feels good with me.

I think she knows that I'm good with you.

Do you think you're gonna start working
with them?

This game's fluid, so I don't know.

I'm not interested in
being somebody's eighth

person that they drag
up to the H&H room.

As nice as it is to be dragged out of your
bed and into an alliance with a group of

people, I do know that I was the last one
in there.

And I don't feel connected to really half
of that alliance.

So, there is part of
me that is constantly

questioning how long
do I want to keep this up.

Who would you rather go home, Jason or
Rome?

Yeah, I feel chill with Rome.

I think we need Rome.

He wants to go see... Shield.

Yeah, he's a shield.

We'll figure it out.

Yeah, this is so stressful.

In a perfect world, I would want Rome to
stay because he said he wants to target

the icons and I think he's not afraid to
take big shots like that.

But, even if we had everyone on our side
of the house vote to keep Rome,

we would still need one more vote.

Hint, hint, Barrett.

If you aren't on the other side,
I'm trying to lay it out for you.

I can't believe that's not us on the
block.

Would y'all like to talk over there?

With the squad.

Oh, yeah.

Right now, the tool shed has two trios.

The icons, and then you have Kamu,
Chuck, and Hayley.

And that leaves me and Barrett alone,
probably on the bottom of the totem pole.

We should make a final two.

I'm surprised we haven't done that yet.

The best thing we can do is get rid of
Kamu, even Hayley and Chuck.

And then, like, it might be open season
for us to start tearing up.

I just wouldn't do that.

Why waste any time?

You for real?

I was quite literally
the last person dragged

into the room with the
formation of the tool shed.

And I know Drew feels the same way as me.

The peak scenario would be if,
like, Rome stayed.

Because he wouldn't spot us here.

And he, like, snipes out, like,
Hayley or Chuck or Kamu.

It is equally, like, fun and terrifying to
imagine Rome staying in this house,

getting into power, and controlling the
next week of this game.

I am not against the idea of throwing
rogue boats out there for the fun of it.

I think people look at us like we're very
squirmy players.

Probably.

You know, hopefully people respect it,
but I don't think they do.

We're really just cheeky little rats.

I need Rome to win this
blockbuster because I want

him to win HOH and drop
a nuke on the tool shed.

But if for some reason Rome and Jason are
on the block together, and the boats are

looking tight, and maybe me and Barrett
can swing a vote and keep Rome here,

that's something to think about.

I love chaos.

You're like a Dr. Will.

You, like, literally are.

Oh, I'm like Dr. Will.

I'd be lit.

You're Dr. Drew.

Up next, the BB blockbuster is open for
business.

Three enter, but only one will save their
game.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

Melody ended up on the wrong side of the
house.

Can she end up on the right side of the
blockbuster?

Rome didn't have the chance to play in the
veto.

Will he see the light of day?

Will he seize the day and win safety?

And Jason's fake tears have come back to
haunt him.

Will he really be crying when all is said
and done?

It's time to find out.

Hello, nominees.

Hey, Julie.

It's time for the BB blockbuster
competition.

The winner will immediately come off the
block.

The other two will face off in the live
vote.

And one will be evicted.

This competition is called Pirate's Booty.

And here's how it works.

Before you are four stacks of Pirate's
Booty from the 1700s.

Your job is to move the
treasure in an attempt

to get the same
pieces on a single post.

Three doubloons.

Three rubies.

Three pearls.

And three emeralds.

You can only move your booty one piece at
a time.

And you cannot place them on the ground.

The first person to get all of their
treasures stacked correctly and buzz in

will win this competition and their
safety.

Does everyone understand?

Yes, Julie.

Good.

Then get ready because this competition
starts now.

Congratulations, Jason.

You have won the BB Blockbuster.

And Jason, you are now officially off the
block.

Everyone, please return to the Big Brother
house immediately.

The live eviction vote will begin shortly.

So, Jason is safe.

And Rome and Melody remain on the chopping
block.

The live vote is next.

Who's headed home?

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

Melody or Rome, which one of them is going
home?

Let's head to the living
room and reveal the

winner of the BB
Blockbuster competition.

Hello, house guests.

Hey, Julie.

Well, you all know that Rome, Jason, and
Melody just competed in the BB Blockbuster.

And it's time to reveal who won and which
two of your housemates remain on the block.

Nominees, head on down.

The winner of the BB Blockbuster is Jason.

That means Jason, of course, is safe from
eviction tonight.

Damn, damn.

Thank you.

Oh, no.

That was too slow.

Oh, lord.

I tried my best.

Oh, lord.

Hey, good try.

We'll get that win.

It was too slow.

It was too slow.

I'm weebling.

I'm weebling.

I'm weebling and wobbling.

Love you, buddy.

Good job.

Congratulations.

House guests, I need
everyone to please take a seat

because it is time for the
live eviction vote to begin.

Thank you.

Rome, Melody, in just moments, your housemates
will cast their votes to evict live.

But before they do, you
each have a final chance

to sway their votes
with one brief statement.

Rome, you're up first.

Thank you, Julie.

My fellow house guests, honor and
privilege to be here with you all.

But I would like to think that I still
have more to give to all of you,

whether that be a shield, an ally,
a friend, the garbage man.

Whatever you want from me, I'm there.

I hope that in your hearts you see value
in me in this house and want to keep me.

Thank you all.

Thank you, Rome.

Melody?

Hi, house guests.

I want to stay really bad.

I've had so much fun with you guys.

I absolutely love this show.

It is my dream to be here.

I have so much fight left in me.

I feel like I would be a great asset to a
lot of you here.

And I love you all so much.

Thank you.

Thank you, Melody.

Thank you both.

All right, everyone.

It's now time for the live voting to
begin.

Devins, as current head of household,
you are not allowed to vote.

And as always, neither are the two
nominees.

One at a time, the rest of you will enter
the diary room and cast your vote to evict.

And tonight, since there are 13 of you
voting, it will take a minimum of seven

votes to be evicted.

Taylor, you're up first.

Please go to the diary room.

Taylor told Melody she's good, but
thinks Rome is better to keep as a shield.

What will she do?

Hi, Taylor.

Hi, Miss Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Melody.

Thank you.

Jason saved himself tonight, but now he
must choose between two close allies.

Jason, congratulations on winning the
blockbuster in your safety.

Thank you so much.

All right.

We have business to take care of.

Please cast your vote to evict.

For my game, I sadly vote to evict Rome.

Thank you.

Thank you, Julie.

Ryan Murphy, cast me.

I'm sorry I wasn't available for those
dates.

Yash knows that Rome is the prime target,
but he doesn't want to lose an ally.

Where will his vote land?

Hello, Yash.

Hey, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I very sadly vote to evict Rome.

Thank you.

Shout out Mom, Dad, and DJ Khaled.

We the best!

Dee isn't happy with Drew's association
with Melody.

Is this her chance to take her out and
keep her ally in line?

Hi, Dee.

Hey, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Rome.

Thank you.

Thanks, Julie.

Shout out Brendan Donovan.

Drink a Coke Zero for me.

Love you.

Currently, the vote is three votes to
evict Rome, one vote to evict Melody.

The remaining votes when we return.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

The house guests are currently voting to
evict either Rome or Melody.

So far, it's three votes to evict Rome,
one vote to evict Melody.

Let's continue with the live voting.

Angela convinced Devens that evicting Rome
was the best move this week.

But does she now see Melody and Drew's
relationship as the bigger threat?

Well, well, well, Angela, here we are.

Hi, Julie.

You look adorable.

Thank you.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Rome.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, fans, for this.

I love you.

Please, please, please, dear Devens.

Barrett isn't convinced that evicting Rome
is best for his game.

Will he stick with his allies or forge his
own path?

Hi, Barrett.

Oh, hi, Julie.

Fancy meeting you here.

No, crazy.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Rome.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ruthie, Ansel, Nathan.

As part of the Toolshed Alliance,

Will he follow through?

Hello, Kamu.

Hello, Mrs. Julie Chen-Munvez.

I love the respect, I have to tell you.

Please... I love
that you love it.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict my boy, Rome.

Thank you.

Ephesians 2.8, shout out to my
family and everybody at CJMMA

in Peoria, Arizona, and to the
Devins family, Rick loves you.

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
houseguests will have just a few moments

to say goodbye, gather his or her
belongings, and walk out the front door.

By a vote of 12 to 1, Rome, you are
evicted from the Big Brother house.

I'm not going to be
able to hug everyone, so

I'm going to do this
real quick, all right?

I love all of you.

You guys are amazing.

But Lyric Medeiros, I don't care who knows
it now, I'm in love with you.

I

love you, buddy.

I love you, mama.

I love you so much, baby.

We love you, brother.

I know, you're amazing, man.

You're amazing.

We're going to be there for the wedding.

Remember, baby, I'm a dog.

Still here, still here.

I'm not here.

What a good dude.

I know, that's good, but you know what?

I swear on my life.

I believe you, I believe you.

Absolutely, I'm glad you're here.

Rome, you're smiling, you seem okay.

How are you feeling?

I mean, honestly, I feel pretty dang good.

I'm not going to lie.

Why?

It was the biggest compliment ever to have
a legend like Rick Devins think that my

game was so strong that
he had to put me in front of

everyone and show if I was
worth being in the house.

When you lost the blockbuster to your
friend Jason, you looked genuinely happy

for your friend.

Yeah.

But how are you feeling in that moment?

It hurt.

I'm a big competitor.

I love competing.

I messed up the direction of the blocks to
start, had to go back, and by the time I

started back over, Jason had already gone
through it, and the look on his face when

he did it was relief, and that even made
me feel relieved.

Let's go back to survivor icon Rick
Devins, because you trusted him,

you went into HOH, you were like,
here's how I want to keep safe.

Then at the nomination ceremony, he used
the information you gave him against you.

Yeah.

How were you feeling in that moment?

A little hurt, but honestly,
the one thing I always

say is if someone tells
the truth, it's theirs to say.

So the big thing that happened was he
didn't lie at all.

He genuinely said our conversation out
loud, told the truth, fair game, good play.

So your feelings on him now are?

Let's go get a beer and play some
cornhole.



Yeah, that hurts.

Who do you think was the one to keep you?

I mean, I have one good guess.

I'm guessing lyrics kept me.

No.

You want to guess again?

Was it Jason?

Who was I here to protect anyway?

You want to guess again?

Should I?

Taylor.

Really?

What do you make of that?

She was always loyal.

I told her I always had her back.

And then I guess push came to shove.

She still had mine.

Do you think it was a strategy move on her
part?

Not really a great play to go against the
entire house.

I mean, blame it on someone else.

Oh, could be.

Yeah, definitely could be.

You're an athlete.

Yeah.

Pickleball pro.

Competitor, as you said.

But day two, all that went out the window.

When you fell in love.

We saw it!

What happened?

She bat her eyes twice and I was turned
into a puddle.

So, there wasn't much else I could do.

I've always been a romantic.

So, end of the day.

When that girl said
everything she needed to

say, it was like I was
putty in her hands.

That was quite a goodbye the two of you
had.

Yeah.

You've talked about marriage.

Yep.

Why are you hesitating?

Is this the real deal?

Nope.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry, sorry.

Well, she just didn't vote for me,
so I don't know anymore.

It's a game.

Am I invited to the wedding?

Of course.

You know what your wedding song has to be,
don't you?

Do I?

Never Gonna Let You Go.

Do you know who Glenn Medeiros is?

I do.

I'm familiar now.

Do you know that's a huge song from the


I'm privy now.

Okay, well, I'm just saying.

Nothing's gonna change my love for you.

That's the name of the song.

And it won't for her either.

In the event you are the one evicted, your
housemates taped some goodbye messages.

Let's watch and listen to some of them.

Yeah.

Rome, dude, I know this is all my fault.

I'm sorry.

You're truly one of my favorite people in
this house.

But it wasn't gonna get
any easier emotionally

to put you on that block
as the game progresses.

All the best, man.

Hello, my cave daddy.

I love you from the bottom of my heart.

And I can't wait for us to get married and
run away together.

Well, Rome, I have to
give you props for rallying

up most of the house and
being such a great leader.

However, I might have had a little something
to do with the Rome's empire imploding.

Bye-bye.

Rome, I can't imagine doing this game
without you.

I am so grateful to have met you and that
big brother brought me you.

And I just can't wait to see where our
relationship goes on the outset of this.

I love you with all my heart.

Final thoughts?

I knew it was Angela all along.

I knew it.

Any hard feelings against her?

Heck no.

Again, these are icons.

And I am lucky enough to say that the
icons wanted me out.

I think that speaks volumes to my game.

You're a good sport, Rome.

Thank you.

Up next on tomorrow
night's episode of Big Brother

Unlocked, Derek,
Taylor and Jerry are back.

And joining them will be a celebrity
guest.

Find out who when I talk to them live
next.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

He's an Emmy winning
host and producer from

RuPaul's Drag Race and
the Drew Barrymore Show.

And the person many think should have won
season one of Celebrity Big Brother.

Please welcome back, Ross Matthews.

I'm so happy to see you.

Hi!

Hi, guys.

So, if I were to tell you the twist is, you
go in and play right now, would you do it?

Do they want to lose?

Oh, it's so good to be home.

Hi, everybody.

Hi.

All right.

What do you make of the insanity this
summer?

You know, just a normal season of Big
Brother with Rachel falling in a big volcano.

Nothing new, you know.

Listen, every time I watch a show,
you up the ante.

And I love that.

You say expect the
unexpected, and I don't even

know what to expect
from you guys at this point.

It keeps all the contestants on their
toes.

Was it as crazy your season?

Season one of Celebrity Big Brother.

Yeah.

You and Marissa.

Marissa won.

How dare you bring that up?

How dare you?

Rude.

But, yeah, it was crazy.

I mean, listen, they have Rachel falling
in a volcano.

We had Omarosa.

Okay, so it's sort of even.

Omarosa had us mentioned at the White
House briefing.

I know.

I know.

You're welcome.

I did that.

Remember, I asked her all about it.

Yeah, I know.

You're going back in.

That's it.

All right.

But be honest.

Who's your favorite to win?

Not who is going to.

Who do you want to win?

It's really tough right now.

I mean, Angela's playing hard.

She knows this game.

She literally poached this O-H-O-A.

You understand.

That was an egg joke.

But she did.

But Drew is riding between alliances,
which I think is smart to do early on.

He just can't get caught.

Right now, power shifts, power changes.

I wouldn't commit to anybody at this point
in the game.

I think you have to stay fluid.

Smart.

Very smart.

All right.

What are you looking forward to tomorrow
night?

You're joining Jerry, Taylor, Derrick on
BB Unlocked.

Okay.

Well, everybody, you
know about this time

capsule powers and
punishment twist this season.

Well, we are going to be
revealing all the powers that are

up for grabs this season
long to all of you, the viewers.

The house guests won't know, but you'll
know.

You'll know.

And the punishments, too?

And the punishments, too.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Ross Matthews.

It's what they're playing for,
Julie.

You know, this is the twist.

That's right.

I love you.

I love you.

Thank you, Ross.

It's great to see you.

Thank you for having me back.

Ross Matthews, everyone.

Wait, wait.

I know.

I just want to hug you.

Okay.

Stay right there.

That is the end of another
action-packed week

of Big Brother, and
we've only just begun.

We have another exciting week ahead.

First up tomorrow at


can't-miss episode of
Big Brother Unlocked.

Join us for a first look at the fallout
from tonight's eviction.

It's literally happening right now.

Plus, like Ross said, all of
the time capsule powers

and punishments will be
revealed to you at home.

The head of household
competition kicks off, and see all

the behind-the-scenes and
exclusive content you love.

Then we're back, as always, on Sunday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, all at 8 p.m.

, 7 Central.

The live feeds have been on fire this
season.

Head to Paramount Plus
right now to watch The

Houseguests 24-7 and binge
all of the season's episodes.

For now, let's eavesdrop on The
Houseguests.

From outside the Big Brother house with
Ross Matthews, I'm Julie Chen Moonves.

Say it with me.

Please, please, please.

Love one another.

Good night.

Yo, Barrett.

Yeah.

Oh, why, did they just cheer?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Let's ease.

And remember...

There's a reason you come back every week.

It becomes like a ritual.

Same night, same couch, same feeling.

It just feels so right.

Stories that earn it.

Endings that deliver it.

Characters who get it right.

At the end of a long day, come home to
something dependable.

You know it's gonna be good.

You're always here for it.

And we're always here for you.
