02x24 - Episode 24

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother," six Houseguests

have been voted out.

JULIE: Sheryl, Autumn, Shannon, Mike, Kent, and Krista,

you are now evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

NARRATOR: Five Houseguests remain.

There are five people left, and

more importantly, it's five people

that I enjoy being around.

NARRATOR: And the countdown to the end begins.

Four, three, two, one.

NARRATOR: Hardy raced his way into the Head of Household

position for the third time.

My brain's, like, racing.

Who's going to do what, if they stay.

Who's, you know, who's going to vote for who?

Are they going to try to break us up?

NARRATOR: Hardy broke Bunky's streak of good fortune,

and nominated him.

I'm sorry to bring it to an end.

I'm sorry to bring it all to an end.

NARRATOR: And he nominated Will for the third time.

Not nominating you would be like Christmas

without presents.

[chuckle]

NARRATOR: Emotions ran high.

Not nearly as high as the two nominees.

Oh.

This afternoon, a helicopter--

Get out.

- --will pick up the winners. - No.

Woo!

We're getting high.

[helicopter rotors]

Playboy mansion?

Just put it down in the backyard.

Hef and I are on a first name basis.

NARRATOR: But patience hit new lows.

I don't need to take all this crap that I've

been taking from people.

I hate it.

I hate it.

Oh!

Well, why don't you go inside and play hide and go-- off?

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Yes, I would.

NARRATOR: As Nicole and Hardy's power of two grows stronger--

Only two more, Hardy.

Only two more, me and you.

NARRATOR: --is Bunky too big a threat?

Or could Will's antics cost him the game?

Will, don't have any fun. Don't have any fun.

Don't have any fun.

You know how to push my buttons, and you just do it.

Pick up your towels. No one's allowed to talk.

And you do it.

I'm freaking out about everything.

And you do it.

NARRATOR: "Big Brother" begins now.

[music playing]

Good evening, and welcome to "Big Brother."

It's day in the game.

There are now five Houseguests.

Last Wednesday Hardy raced his way to Head of Household

for the third time, and nominated two of his housemates

for eviction.

Bunky, the technical writer from Harrisburg, North Carolina.

And Will, the doctor from Miami Beach, Florida.

In the next hour, the Houseguests

will cast their votes to evict one of them, live.

No one, including "Big Brother," knows who will stay

and who will go.

It's Will's third time sitting in the red nomination chair.

It's Bunky's first.

This week Bunky seemed to take the offensive,

appearing strong and positive.

Will seems to be playing it like he's been there before,

knowing whose buttons to push, and when.

But did Will push the wrong buttons one too many times?

Or did Bunky come across too strong,

posing too big a threat in the end?

How you guys doing?

You having a good time?

I guess you heard I was nominated.

You've impacted a lot of people's lives,

including my own--

Thank you.

--in a positive way.

It really warms my heart.

Of course, we have our moments.

Bunky, what are you doing, sir?

What do you think I'm doing? I'm doing--

Do you want to eat?

No, I want to do my sit-ups first.

You want me to make you breakfast?

- Yeah. - Bunky.

What?

Why are you so snappy with me?

What did I do? - Nothing.

What's the matter, Bunky?

I don't understand why you're so upset.

Because you're a big closet case.

Let me tell you something.

They are controlling-- up in here.

And that pisses me off.

Will you spit that out up there?

Mm-hmm.

They are running this house like they live here.

I'd like to have a cigarette.

You told me not to give you any more cigarettes.

Do you realize how much to go back on what you say to me?

There's nowhere to go back to.

You're out of cigarettes.

You could go back on the nominations.

We did this for Nicole.

There were towels thrown all over the--

house.

We do that for Nicole.

I'm going to pee directly into the toilet, OK?

Well, no.

You're going to have to hold on a minute.

They're not my momma and daddy.

She calls him honey.

I know.

It's kind of irritating.

It's our bedroom.

It's more mine than yours.

Oh, you want to start that?

Oh-- ah!

All right, maybe not.

Every day I wake up, and I have to say,

Will, please keep your mouth shut today.

Don't get Nicole mad, or you're going to be going home.

You can maybe slide back into the number one position

if you can make it hours without actually

pissing me off once.

You've heard some people have issues.

Nicole has a subscription.

I'm never going to be nice to you again.

I got a warning because of you.

Stop.

For threatening you.

I'm the Mahatma Gandhi.

You're Malcolm X.

Well, I think that was my last dinner

in the "Big Brother" house.

I could possibly tell a lie just to stay in the house this week.

What did we agree when you sat on my bed when you drunk?

That we were going to get Will.

Will wants Hardy out.

But if they keep me, I want Hardy out, too.

Obviously Bunky is having some sort of problem with me today.

Well, she said some things that she was going to do.

But one person from chill town is still here.

Ooh.

What have I lied to you about?

You don't have to lie.

You manipulate everything.

Oh.

And now I want the money.

Before, it wasn't a big deal.

Ooh.

But the bottom line is, we deserve to win.

Hello.

Well, they told me they were going to give

me this to give me quiet. - Huh?

You just need to sit in the other red chair.

The red chairs are for the two nominees.

You want me to sit there?

Mm-hmm.

He said it three times.

Get in the chair.

Why?

Because.

That told me a lot.

I'm trying to take that as a sign as Hardy, in his mind,

is already thinking that Will was already gone.

What the hell is wrong with me?

I don't know.

I'm like, why does Monica have to sit there?

Yeah, Nicole comes to me and says--

I'm going to vote [inaudible] out.

Right.

I will say yes.

Which you know that that's not true.

I talked to Nicole, tried one last ditch effort with her.

Number one, if I win Head of Household next week,

I promise you I will put you up, and Monica up.

And Nicole will vote Monica out.

Then you could throw one of us off.

And you don't think that that's a possibility

for Monica or for Will?

He's not going to win.

Think about that.

I'm not saying to change, but I want you to think about it.

And Will's smarter.

I mean, it's just something to think about.

Some village is missing their idiot

if they think that I'm not going to stab them in the back.

That's fine.

I know that you're like the evil doctor, liar, whatever.

You do not want to-- --me over on this deal.

Everything will be really copacetic.

I'll be-- - Cool.

--pumped for that.

All right.

No problem, dude, I promise.

I look them right in the eyes.

I offer them my hand.

And I tell them, hey, don't worry about it.

It's not a big deal.

No, you shook on it now.

I mean--

[pop]

He's a sucker.

I told him straight up that I'm

going to post him and Monica.

You know, and then it will be us three in the finals,

and that's it.

OK.

Sucker.

Dear Lord, we thank you for this meal.

Lord, we just ask to be with us, watch over us, and protect us.

And help us through this life altering experience.

Amen.

Amen.

Thank you.

To survive in the "Big Brother" house,

the Houseguests often ride an emotional roller

coaster as they challenge one another, and themselves.

, Some, like Bunky, wear their emotions on their sleeves.

Others, like Will, seem to keep their emotions in check.

Is this what they're really like outside the house?

Well, we talked to Bunky's partner Gregg and Will's

brother Ian to find out.

[music playing]

Not the hair.

Not the hair.

My relationship with Will is he's not only my brother.

He's my best friend.

I love you so much.

You can't even imagine.

When Will cried, as a brother, I know

those were Will's true tears.

You're OK, man.

Just think of your brother.

This showed the Houseguests that he had a heart.

I look like a human being from the outside.

But inside, it's just circuitry and metal.

As much as Will likes to play the evil doctor,

in the real world, Will is one of the most

compassionate doctors you could possibly meet.

I've watched him hold babies.

I've watched him counsel mothers that have breast cancer.

Will has such an intense love for life.

[snickering]

From things as trivial as his hair--

Damn, it looks really cool.

--to things as large as nature.

Will really wants to own a zoo.

He's in. He's out.

Get him. Get him.

All right, all right.

[squealing]

Will loves animals and the energy of nature.

He is drawn to that which is different.

Oh, hey, someone's tripping me.

It wasn't me.

Will is hairless, and never cries.

Bunky is hairy and cries all the time.

Bunky, give me a hug.

Come on now.

He represents what a brother should be.

Someone very supportive, but also a best friend.

We love each other in a really manly way.

Now go back.

[music playing]

Bunky and me have been together for years.

We've been monogamous all that time.

Oh, this is Bunky with hair.

He used to have hair at one time.

Well, I mean, on his head.

I still don't understand why you haven't

shaved your whole body down.

I think it's too g*y.

[laughing]

Well, we had good times, bad times.

This is the way with any relationship.

It was probably our first year in the neighborhood.

And I was like, oh, this is a little tiny pumpkin on my hood.

And I picked it up, and I turned it around,

and it was carved, f*gs.

Bunky cries about the harassment we get living here.

Bunky will cry over a TV show.

He cries over family.

Make sure you get it, like, completely into all the hair.

What am I, a ret*rd?

Bunky's sister has a mental disability,

and he cries over that.

One of the phrases that people used that I just

really find offensive is when the people

use the word Ret*rded.

You really have to be Ret*rded to want to use one of these.

So when Bunky was growing up with his sister

with the brain damage, every day on the school bus they said,

oh, here comes the Ret*rded girl and her brother.

And the kids in elementary school used to use that word.

And it hurts.

This week, you know, people have realized

Bunky's not this weak person.

I think Bunky may be coming less emotional,

hopefully through Will's influence.

Which would be good, because Bunky needs to get

a little more vindictive.

What, are you trying to drive me out of my mind?

Short drive, sister.

And maybe some of Bunky will rub off on Will.

What the--

[laughing]

I love it when Bunky curses.

It doesn't matter to me if he goes all the way.

But he'd better win, damn it.

[laughing]

[cheering]

Tonight is eviction night.

Of the Houseguests who remain, Monica and Nicole

will cast their votes to evict either Bunky or Will, live.

The nominees are not permitted to vote.

In the event of a tie, Hardy, as Head of Household,

will cast the deciding vote in front of the group.

Anxiously awaiting the vote in our studio's

green room, Bunky's partner Gregg, on the left.

And on the right, Will's brother, Ian.

Along with a familiar face, former "Big Brother"

Houseguest Shannon, Will's girlfriend in the house.

One family will be reunited later tonight.

The other will be returning home to cheer on their loved

one still in the game.

Before we see the Houseguests cast their eviction votes live,

let's go into the Diary Room as Monica

shares what's on her mind regarding

the upcoming decision.

In the past week or two, Will has been

keeping the house very jovial.

He came into this house a certain kind of way.

He was-- he was mean.

He was doing really rude things.

And I haven't forgotten.

I may look like I've forgotten-- have forgotten, but I haven't.

So I'm thinking about Monica right now,

and my strategy on staying in this house.

And it could go both ways.

[music playing]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

In just three weeks from tonight,

we will crown the winner of "Big Brother ."

The decision will be made by the nine

evicted Houseguests who will return to cast the final vote.

As the days count down, the Houseguests who remain

must start putting together an end strategy.

So let's talk to them now.

Hey, everybody, how's it going?

Hi, Julie.

Hi, Julie.

You all look great tonight.

Some of you wearing new clothes.

Maybe all of you wearing new clothes.

Nicole, you look beautiful.

Thank you.

You look great.

Now I know I've asked you this question before.

I'm going to ask it again.

How important is it for you to win Head of Household

this week?

[laughter]

And why?

This week's Head of Household is

the most important Head of Household

since we've been in this house--

literally.

And it's-- it's important to me and Hardy-- it's no secret--

to make the game end the way that we'd want it to end.

No offense to anybody else, but it's not a secret.

Being very, very truthful.

Upfront tonight.

Yeah.

We're a close-knit group.

[laughter]

Monica.

Yes, darling?

Moments from now there will be just four people

left in the house.

And you'll be one of them.

What is it that's kept you alive in the game so long?

What's kept me alive has been my honesty, my truth.

I don't lie, and I'm straightforward.

What you see is what you get.

Thank you, Monica.

Bunky, Will, the live eviction vote is just minutes away.

What you say right now could change some minds.

Keeping that in mind, what would you

like to tell your housemates?

Will, I'm going to start with you.

I'd like to thank them for having me this long.

I feel very fortunate.

I've been having a lot of fun the last two weeks.

And I'd like to continue to have good times for a little while

longer.

So my message is really simple.

I've been in the house trying to have a good time,

and that's what I'm going to continue to do.

JULIE: OK.

Bunky, it's your turn.

Well, you guys know that I love you.

And whatever happens, happens.

But I do want to say happy birthday

to Jordan, who turned .

And also send my love to my sister

Sharon, her husband Dale, and their son John.

And also, my love to my sister Thelma Lou.

But you guys, I have had a great time.

If I stay, I stay.

And if I go, it's OK.

It's meant to be.

And I want to thank you for a terrific nine weeks.

And if I go tonight, I'll see you on the outside.

Very emotional night.

Thank you, Houseguests.

And I'll be back in a minute.

The Houseguests not only have to oust one of their own.

Tonight they have to do it live.

Let's go back to the Diary Room to hear

what Nicole had on her mind regarding

tonight's live eviction vote.

Will is a nominee this week.

He's come a long way as far as moving from android species

to human species.

Bunky's very giving, very respectful.

It's been very tough for me, because I'm

very close to each one of them.

Hardy and I were both trying to look at it as a nothing more

than a strategic move.

And it's going to be--

it's going to be really hard.

Tough decision.

[music playing]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Hardy has proven himself as one of the most

powerful Houseguests.

He has reigned as Head of Household for three

of the nine weeks in the house, while never

being nominated for eviction.

While Nicole has remained Hardy's loyal ally throughout,

Bunky, Will, and Monica say they've seen

some changes in the past weeks.

Not only in Hardy's appearance, but in the way

he's playing the game.

Hardy seems like a great guy.

He and I have a lot in common.

I think he is someone I can trust.

I have a lot more respect for Hardy.

And I'm getting to know him and like him.

Hardy is a good person inside and outside.

In my book, Monica and Krista are two

people that I sincerely trust.

And ultimately, I'd like to see the three of us in the end.

I told you.

I like you, Will.

Thank you.

[laughter]

You know, Hardy's got two faces,

and they can flip like that.

Damn.

Look, I swear on my soul.

And I'm not kidding.

I want it to be you and Krista standing there, one and two.

For me to even consider pressing on for anyone other than myself

would be completely ludicrous.

The more and more I get to know her, the less I appreciate her.

You know?

I mean, I've told you.

If she would win a half million dollars,

I'd be afraid what would happen to her.

He told me that he was going to send Krista and Nicole

into the finals, and that he was going to step away and let

them win, and be a good guy.

And then all of a sudden he evicted Krista.

He's the main person who said that this game will make you

do things you don't want to do.

I know Hardy.

I respect him.

He's a great guy.

He's a very down to earth guy.

He's my brother-- my brother in arms, I mean,

whatever you want to call him.

We're basically becoming what they are.

Are we? Are we?

I think so.

Why?

Because we're being evil and manipulative.

If I could blink my eyes and send

one person out of this house, it would be Hardy.

He's a bully. - Bunky!

What?

Hurry up.

Now do you hear how you tell me what to do?

You don't ask me.

Hardy has a temper, and Hardy can bark at you very quickly.

--kick somebody's-- head in right now.

God, I hope they give me a heavy bag.

Give me a heavy bag!

Because the bad guys wear the black hats,

I think the black hair is very appropriate for Hardy.

[laughter]

Was it symbolic when he darkened his hair?

You know, he really is getting more evil.

Hardy is sitting alone in his private room on his last night

as Head of Household.

Let's talk with him.

Hi, Hardy.

It's deja vu all over again.

How are you doing tonight?

[scrambled sounds]

Hardy?

OK, we're having some technical problems.

Hardy, this is Julie.

Can you hear me?

[clearing throat]

Hello?

Hey, good evening, Julie. How are you?

OK.

Sorry, we were having some technical problems.

- Oh. - But now you can hear me.

Great. - Yes.

Now, I know you already know this,

but I need to remind you that the other

Houseguests cannot hear our conversation,

so you can speak freely.

OK?

Understood.

Any regrets about nominating Bunky and Will?

No, not really.

I basically had to take the emotion out of the equation,

and pretty much nominate the people that I

thought were the largest threats to how

I foresee the game ending.

And I think I've addressed that.

JULIE: OK.

You and Nicole are obviously tight allies.

Now the two of you agree that she needs

to win tonight's Head of Household competition

to keep you both in the game.

So what happens if she doesn't win tonight?

Well, that's a very interesting question, Julie.

I really don't have an answer for you.

I haven't really given that a whole lot of thought.

I like to think positively.

And hope that there's only one outcome that's possible.

Now I know there's more than one outcome possible,

but there's only one outcome that I'm foreseeing.

So it's a victory, hopefully.

Well, as you know, if there is a tie tonight,

you will be forced to cast the deciding eviction vote.

And you will have to do it in front of everyone.

Will that influence how you vote?

Not necessarily.

I've already, for the most part, have

made up my mind how I'm going to cast my vote,

should it come to that.

And I've thought about it for the past week.

So I've got a clear decision in mind,

and I just hope it goes smoothly.

I've already talked with everyone,

and they kind of understand my position.

They know it's not personal, whatsoever.

It's simply strategic, and what I feel

is best for myself, and also for Nicole, in playing this game.

Thank you, Hardy, and you can rejoin your housemates.

Have a good night.

Will Hardy be forced to cast the deciding vote?

The live eviction is next.

[music playing]

[music playing]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Right now the Houseguests are together in their living room.

Sitting on the red chairs are Bunky and Will, whose fate

the others hold in their hands.

For the next few minutes, Monica, Nicole--

and in the event of a tie, Hardy--

will cast their votes, live.

Houseguests, the moment of truth is finally here.

Here's how it will work.

Monica and Nicole, you'll get up one at a time

and go to the Diary Room.

Hardy, if there's a tie, you will cast the deciding vote.

Now all of you must make a choice.

Evict Bunky, or evict Will.

Two votes is all it takes.

And as always, the order is--

is alphabetical.

So, Monica, that means you're up first.

Please go to the Diary Room now.

Keep my-- keep my mic on?

Yes.

Yes.

[music playing]

Since early on, Monica has vowed to take down chill town.

Will is the last remaining member.

But in recent weeks she's acknowledged that Bunky

might be a bigger threat.

Let's find out her decision.

I keep on my mic on, right?

Yeah, keep your mic on.

How you doing tonight, Monica?

I'm pretty cool.

OK.

You look relaxed, so--

I feel relaxed.

Well, the time has come.

OK.

Please cast your vote to evict now.

I vote to evict Will.

JULIE: Why did you vote to evict Will?

I vote to evict Will because Bunky is my friend,

and it's my strategy.

And no one tells me who to vote for, and who not to vote for.

Good enough.

Thank you, Monica.

Now please do not reveal your vote to the others.

Rejoin your housemates in the living room,

and I'm going to ask you to please send Nicole in.

Sure.

Thank you.

[music playing]

[door opening]

How will Nicole vote?

She found out this week that Will deceived her.

And she's made it no secret that he's getting on her nerves.

Will she vote her emotions, or her strategy?

Let's find out.

Hi, Nicole.

How you doing tonight?

I've had better nights.

JULIE: Obviously.

Well, the time has come.

Please cast your vote to evict now.

[sigh] I vote to evict Bunky, because I have to.

I'm sorry.

Why-- what do you mean, you have to?

Why did you vote to evict Bunky?

It's all about strategy.

I'm part of a team.

He's had a very, very, very strong

week and a half, two weeks.

And he's the strongest player, and we

can't have that right now.

JULIE: OK.

Thank you, Nicole.

Obviously, please do not reveal your vote to the others.

And you can rejoin your housemates in the living room.

I love you, Jeff.

[door opening]

Houseguests, for the first time, we have a tie.

Oh--

JULIE: --is one vote to evict Bunky.

One vote to evict Will.

Hardy, you know what comes next.

As Head of Household, you will cast the deciding vote.

Please cast your vote to evict now.

[sigh] We've already discussed it, and everyone

has the understanding of why.

But because of the strategic nature

of this game at this point, I choose to evict Bunky.

And you know I love you, man.

It's-- it's just-- it's because it's strategy.

I hope you understand that.

JULIE: I have to cut in here now, and make it official.

Bunky, you're now evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

Congratulations.

Peace be with you.

Monica.

I love you.

I love you too.

OK, thank you.

[murmuring]

You got it.

Bye, bye, Nicole.

I love you.

[slapping]

I love you so much.

I love you too.

It's OK.

It's OK.

It's just a game.

It's just a game, OK?

I'm sorry, buddy.

It's OK.

[murmuring]

--get to see you right now.

Yeah.

Come on, guys.

Good luck, everybody. - Thank you, Bunky.

And call Jeff for me.

OK, I will.

You guys, I've had a great time.

Tell G-R-E-G-G Gregg that I can't wait to see him.

Oh, I can't wait to see him either.

[laughter]

I love you so much.

Me, too.

You're one of the best people I've ever

met in my whole life, baby.

OK?

Mm-hmm.

See you, bro.

See you.

I'll see you in a few weeks.

Thanks, buddy.

You look fabulous.

Thank you.

You guys take care of each other, OK?

You're the best, man.

Thanks, brother.

Good luck, guys. - Good luck.

Bye, baby.

Bye.

[door closing]

Oh, I'm out.

I am out!

Woo!

Bunky is out, so to speak.

Oh.

Hey, Bunky.

Hi, Julie.

Congratulations on making it this far in the game.

- Thank you. - You look great.

Thank you. Come have a seat.

Make yourself--

[sniffing]

[sighing]

[blowing nose]

Monica's steamed.

Well, Bunky, are you surprised to be sitting here with me?

No.

I kind of knew it was coming.

How did you know?

I had some talks with Hardy, and with Nicole.

And Hardy gave me a good compliment,

and he said that he's threatened by me.

I didn't really see you campaigning

to stay in the house.

Why didn't you?

It wasn't meant to be.

If they don't want me in the house,

they don't want me in the house.

And I just-- I'm not going to turn against certain people,

and just lie to try to be in the house.

I'm really no good at playing a game like this.

Well, you were a strong player.

I mean, you made it this far.

So what do you think went wrong?

Maybe I was too honest.

I don't-- I don't know.

I won too many competitions in a row,

and Hardy got threatened by that.

Hmm.

You wore your emotions on your sleeve.

It's no-- it's no secret. - That's Bunky.

Do you think-- that's right.

Do you think that helped you, hurt you, neither?

It depends on the person.

It depends on the Houseguest.

I think it hurt me with some people, because they're--

JULIE: Like who?

I don't know, maybe Kent.

Maybe-- I don't really know.

It depends on the people-- maybe Shannon--

people who don't feel--

maybe feel comfortable with someone being so emotional,

which I totally respect that and understand that.

Then maybe it also helps with other people.

Actually, it probably also hurt me with Hardy.

Or it didn't help me at all with Hardy.

But other people it might help you with.

JULIE: Why not with Hardy?

- He-- - He's got a heart.

Or are you saying he doesn't have--

He has a heart, but he told me that he separates

his emotions from the game.

So he said that he loved me, and yet he

still has to vote to evict me.

So he wouldn't let his emotions and feelings

get in the way of his strategy.

If you could change anything that you did in the house,

what would that be?

Or any experience, even, in the house, what would that be?

The only thing that I would change--

I would definitely change voting against my friends,

like Autumn, Kent, and Krista.

I do regret that.

And the times that I told little white

lies just to stay in the game.

I mean, people would confront you with information,

and sometimes I would nod as if I was agreeing,

or even say some things.

Because if I didn't--

But that's playing the game.

Yeah, it is playing the game.

And you would change that?

I don't know. I don't know.

It's hard to say.

Has this experience changed you at all?

Oh, yeah.

This has been a life altering experience.

JULIE: How?

It's-- it's just amazing.

I mean, I've learned more about myself, and I mean,

I've lost pounds.

Yeah, you look great, congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you.

But I tried a lot of new things for the first time

in the "Big Brother" house.

I mean, Will was teaching me how to do the shoulder presses,

and just little things.

Mike taught me how to juggle.

And Hardy kind of helped me with learning to juggle.

And just-- it was all about new experiences for me.

JULIE: So it changed you for the better?

Oh, definitely. Definitely.

That's good to hear.

Well, we asked your housemates to record

a message to you, in the event that you

were the one evicted tonight.

Uh-oh.

So let's listen to what they had to say.

- OK. - Hey, Bunky, it's me, Hardy.

If you're seeing this message, that

means I've had to do what I didn't want to do,

and that's kick out my big brother.

I just want you to know, man, that you've--

more than you can imagine-- have taught me a lot about myself,

and how to be a better person.

I really feel that living with you

has made me much more tolerant and much more sensitive.

I love the hell out of you.

You are a cool person.

And I think Gregg is the luckiest man in the world,

for having you.

You have worked very hard on yourself.

And for yourself.

And if you stop working out, I will kick your a*s.

The helicopter ride was probably my favorite moment

in the "Big Brother" house, and I wouldn't

want anyone there but you.

Just know that I'll miss you, man.

And suntan nation.

I call you a true friend.

Bunky, I really think the world of you, and you're a great guy.

Keep your chin up, and I'll see you soon.

Emotional stuff.

Yeah.

What's your reaction to what you just heard?

They're great people, and I love them all.

I really do.

JULIE: You have no bitter feelings

towards anyone in the house?

Not really.

I mean, how could you?

JULIE: Not really? - No.

I mean, we were all playing a game.

And our emotions changed every hour.

I mean, I said some negative things, I'm sure,

about every person in the house.

But it's just the mood that you caught me in when

I was in the Diary Room.

You know, and so no regrets.

And I don't have any hard feelings toward anyone.

I love them all.

What surprised you most about this whole experience?

Oh, surprised me the most about this experience.

Oh, Really, I didn't know it was going to take so long.

[chuckle]

JULIE: What do you mean?

Each day seemed like a year?

Yes, it did.

It really did.

I just-- I had no idea.

I was also surprised that the cameras and the microphones

didn't bother me as much as I thought they would.

I thought I would be very self-conscious, and I wasn't.

So you felt like you could be yourself?

Yeah.

That was the real Bunky that we saw?

Yeah.

Yeah, for the most part you saw the real Bunky.

I mean, I was still trying to play a game.

And I struggled with that.

Should I be myself, or should I try to be somebody

else in order to win this game?

And I felt that it was more important to be honest, and

keep my integrity, and be Bunky

JULIE: Who do you want to see win this game?

- With the people that are left? - Mm-hmm.

Monica.

JULIE: OK, we'll see if you're right.

Well, you will have the final word.

You will be brought back three weeks

from tonight, on September th, along with

the other evicted Houseguests--

Sherry, Autumn, Shannon, Mike Boogie, Kent, and Krista.

And together you will decide--

you will all decide who will be the last one standing.

But for now we have someone who's dying to see you.

You know who.

Your partner, Gregg, here from Harrisburg, North Carolina.

He'll be coming right through there.

[door opening]

Oh my god.

[crying] - Hey.

Hey.

Come here.

Hey.

You really look good.

I love you, sweetheart.

I love you too.

Oh, it's so good to see you.

Oh, I missed you so much.

Power in the house is about to take a critical turn.

It starts tonight with the Head of Household competition.

See it play out live, next.

[music playing]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

It's time to crown a new Head of Household.

Three Houseguests will now compete for perks, and more

importantly, the power to nominate two of their own

for eviction.

Each knows that now, more than ever,

this competition is a must-win.

Houseguests, let's get the Head of Household

competition underway.

Please go outside and stand on the mats.

[music playing]

Jesus, what is this?

[laughter]

JULIE: On the basketball court is a replica

of the Head of Household room.

Tonight's competition will test mental and physical endurance.

Hardy, as outgoing Head of Household,

you're not eligible to compete this week.

Monica, Nicole, Will, this bed will

be the center of this week's Head of Household competition.

On the butler's tray you'll each find your "Big Brother" key.

Please walk towards the room right now, grab your key,

and take a seat on the bed.

And make sure your feet do not touch the ground.

Obviously, you just figured out it's a waterbed.

Yeah.

JULIE: Now, place your key in the nomination box on the bed,

and do not let go.

[thunking]

Here are the rules.

You must keep one hand on your key at all times.

The key must stay in the box.

You may not leave the bed for any reason.

And again, your feet may not touch the ground.

You may not sleep.

And aside from water, whatever you have on the bed now

is all you will have until the game is over.

And in case you haven't figured it out by now,

the last one still on the bed with their hands

still on their key is the next Head of Household.

Good luck.

[laughter]

I guess that means no cigarettes.

That's funny.

I got to go to the bathroom.

[laughter]

[tapping]

[laughter]

I'm nominating his a*s.

I'm glad this is funny to you.

I'm nominating him.

Ah.

Woo!

I'm funny.

Can we switch hands?

I don't think.

Well, we can ask anybody to go and come on--

I don't know.

I'm sure that they'll be giving--

whatever. - Now this is a waterbed.

My bed is not a waterbed compared

to this bed right here.

No.

I though we were going to have to wave

each other off the thing.

JULIE: Nicole, I heard your question.

Yes, you can switch hands.

But obviously you cannot let go.

So if you want to switch from your left to your right,

put both hands on the key, and then remove the left.

Do not even screw around.

What?

I'm just saying.

I'm not screwing around.

I'm trying to get comfortable, which is nearly impossible.

Don't worry, she ain't going to screw around.

She ain't going to screw around.

Comfortable and falling off the bed

are two different things.

Don't worry, she ain't going to let you down, baby.

How long is this show?

Can I play basketball?

Something.

You ain't got to worry about me drinking no water.

I'm going to go. I'm going to go inside.

I'll see you guys. - Peace.

Peace out.

[laughter]

Ah.

OK, the skirt was a bad idea.

So.

Man, Bunky looked great today, huh?

Yes.

He looked awesome.

He really did.

This is wrong.

"Big Brother" is about to add a wrinkle to the Head

of Household competition.

Find out what it is, next.

[music playing]

Monica, Nicole, and Will are now stuck in bed as they

battle for Head of Household.

The last one left of the bed with their hand

still on their key becomes Head of Household.

Let's check in with them.

Well, Houseguests, it's only been a couple of minutes.

How's everyone doing so far?

This blows.

Not good.

This is great.

I love it!

JULIE: Why not good, Will?

I have to go to the bathroom already, Julie.

JULIE: Oh, that's a problem.

Well, could be.

Yes.

Or not.

Well, remember, the last one--

the last one of you on the bed with your hand still on the key

wins the most critical Head of Household yet.

And with it, the power to nominate two of your

housemates for eviction.

Now, as you may have noticed, in the middle of the nomination

box is a bell.

The bell is there because "Big Brother"

is about to add a wrinkle to this competition with an offer.

Sweet.

JULIE: Now you're going to have to wait for my cue, OK?

Mm.

JULIE: If you ring the bell, that

means you have accepted the offer,

and forfeited the chance to become Head of Household.

So think carefully, Houseguests.

[laughter]

Listen up.

Here's the offer.

The first person to ring the bell--

don't do anything yet, Will--

will get a weekend spa getaway for two

in Santa Barbara, California when

the "Big Brother" game is over.

Now, Houseguests, if you want to accept

this offer, with your free hand, ring the bell now.

Stop playing.

Santa Barbara, that's down the road.

Come on.

[laughter]

Cant you make this juicy?

All right.

No takers, correct?

- Correct. - Correct.

- All right. - Spice it up a bit, Julie.

Come on, make it worth it.

[laughing] No, it's my final offer.

Oh, man.

The offer is now withdrawn.

OK.

They'll come back with something else, I'm sure.

Now, as the countdown to the end begins,

we have a special events week coming up.

Tuesday we'll find out who had the strength, stamina,

and bed manners to win Head of Household,

and how long it took.

The winner will then nominate two of their own for eviction.

On Wednesday, a special edition, at : PM Eastern,

: Central.

Now this is one episode you won't want to miss.

The "Big Brother" final four will meet their match.

From "Survivor," Gervase Peterson and Susan Hawk.

And from "Survivor, the Australian Outback,"

Jeff Varner and Alicia Calaway.

It's "Big Brother" versus "Survivor" as Gervase, Susan,

Jeff, and Alicia enter the house,

compete with the Houseguests, and stay overnight.

Then Thursday I'll be back when the final four

becomes the final three, as one more

Houseguest gets evicted live.

So once again, our next three shows

will be on Tuesday, Wednesday at :,

: Central, and Thursday.

For now, we leave you as we eavesdrop on the ongoing Head

of Household competition.

I'm Julie Chen.

Have a good night.

Can I ring the bell now just to check it?

No, you need to just move your elbow off this thing.

And relax yourself.

I'm glad Monica's got new shoes on, because to me, they

look like a pillow.

[chuckling]

There's a pillow here on the floor,

but I ain't going to touch it, because I

don't know what that means.

[audio out]

Oh, excuse me.

Ooh.

Sorry.

I made a mistake.

I didn't curse.

I'm not cosigning that one.

Sorry.

This is a cable TV show, Monya.

I forgot.

They're probably like this, we're

about to go back to Monica--

[laughter]

I made a mistake. I'm sorry.

Fudge that.

Did you guys turn the hot tub on?

For what?

It needs-- the water needs to be filtered through.

I cussed it real hard, too.

I ain't cussed like that all day.

Shucks.

Shucks.

sh**t.

Y'all want some water?

You know what?

You need to go on and sit down somewhere.

If you want some water, I can give y'all some water.

That's the least thing I--

I'm freezing already.

I'm about to give some water.

I don't need to get any.

I'm going to have a spot right here, because I'm not moving.

I'm going to pee right here.

I don't care.

Actually, that's probably not a bad idea.

I am. I'm not getting up.

Fair enough.

None of y'all ever peed in the bed?

Not on purpose.

Oh, OK.

[laughter]

We were talking about that last night.

Flipsies.

[airplane engines]

Did they say something about going to sleep?

Yeah, we can't go to sleep.

No sleeping.

They even took the ball.

Probably can't even take our shoes off.

No, you can do that.

Take your shoes off, you just don't-- but you don't want

to take your shoes off, because then your feet

are going to get really cold.

That's right.

Huh?

I'm glad these are comfortable.

No heels, and--

Yeah, unlike my skirt-- ow!

Oh, I'm sorry.

Sorry about that.

- Oh. - Sorry.

A swift kick in the groin is coming at you, buddy.

Oh my god.
