03x31 - Episode 31

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother," Danielle

took over as the ninth Head of Household

and kept her word to Jason by nominating Lisa and Amy.

We gonna let the man of the house make the decision.

NARRATOR: Danielle and Jason secretly celebrated

their successful alliance.

We're still in the game!

We've survived in this houses weeks without being nominated.

NARRATOR: And Jason found that being the last man in the house

had its privileges.

Do you just want to spend time alone with me, Jason?

NARRATOR: The Alabama boy and the Memphis girl

surfed their way to some southern comfort

on the Pacific.

Oh, my goodness.

Ah!

Nice.

Look at that.

NARRATOR: Giving Lisa and Danielle some private time.

I think having this time alone with Danielle

could work out really well, as far as game plans go.

Have I ever pissed you off in this game?

Mm mm.

NARRATOR: As the winner of America's Choice,

Lisa had a live internet chat, with a surprise

from one of her biggest fans.

Hi, Lisa.

It's Eric.

Do you want me to come greet you?

Yes.

Please come and get me.

NARRATOR: And as the eviction neared,

the final four all set their sights on the ultimate Head

of Household.

I've got to win this.

Whoever wins this Head of Household

has made the final two.

It's time to get a little bit greedy,

and it's time to get selfish.

I want it.

NARRATOR: Who will be the ninth house

guest evicted from the Big Brother house, Amy or Lisa?

Who will make it to the final three?

Find out tonight, live on "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

Good evening.

It is day inside the Big Brother house,

and we're only six days away from crowning a winner.

Tonight, only four of the original house guests

remain.

Last Thursday, a determined Danielle

pulled out all the stops and won Head of Household

for the very first time.

After ensuring her place in the final three,

Danielle kept her word to her secret ally, Jason,

and nominated Lisa and Amy for eviction.

Their fate now lies in Jason's hands.

He is the only house guest eligible to vote tonight,

and he'll do so live.

The decision of whom to evict has been weighing

heavily on Jason's mind.

Will he evict Amy, a six-time nominee

who's been winning many competitions lately,

but who he feels will be a lesser threat in the end?

Or will he evict Lisa, despite his schoolboy crush on her?

It's a tough choice that could ultimately cost him the game.

Yeah.

I want to get to the final.

I want to be part of the final two.

My ultimate goal is to have Jason and myself.

If one of the other people win the next week's HOH,

I hope they pick me.

I want to make it to the final two.

I can't change what I've done for weeks now

and betray Danielle.

I'm-- I'm sticking to that alliance till the end.

If the third person next week happens to win that HOH.

I'm going to push for them to take Danielle with them

to the end.

At this point in the game, I don't

feel like I could beat Jason.

I'm not sure if I could beat Danielle,

but I know I stand a lot better chance of beating

Danielle than I do Jason.

If I were to remain in the house

Thursday, and then if I won HOH, I

would have to keep Danielle in the house,

because I want Danielle to win.

I've nominated Lisa and Amy.

I don't think Danielle could beat Jason.

When it came time for Danielle to put

someone else on the nomination block,

I wonder why she didn't put Jason up.

Something there is a little bit iffy with me.

Y'all didn't know.

Me and him, working together.

Jason and Danielle could have an agreement

to go to the final two.

Me and him.

Together.

I've actually been thinking about this for quite a while.

Danielle and Jason used to spend a lot of time

talking and sitting on the hammock.

This is Big Brother, and I think some of it has to be game.

I got your back. You got mine?

Yeah.

Absolutely.

And I think the two of them could

have very easily made an alliance to go

to the end with each other.

You don't know?

You know, when we get down to the final three, four,

[inaudible] whoop my butt.

[inaudible]

To do that successfully, they would need a third person.

Guaranteed?

I'm sure.

So I think they chose me to be that third person.

If I am still here after this week,

there's no safety net that I have to support me.

But then it would be my turn to kick some butt.

It's so wonderful that we have the four of us.

Cause, like, it would be hell to have some other four

house guests up in here.

That would brutal.

There are absolutely no alliances in the house

right now.

And we are all four so happy to say that.

That's the only person I think I can probably beat, is Amy.

If they gave Amy the Gs over me--

So we gonna let the man of the house make the decision.

Danielle gave a very eloquent nomination speech.

I just want to say, y'all single.

He's single.

Do what you gotta do.

Jason's single.

Y'all single.

Do what we have to do.

To get his vote.

As always, when there's a competition,

I definitely want to win, and I do whatever I can to do well.

There's been a little bit of flirtation in the air.

Oh, I got a kiss from sugar.

I got a kiss from sugar.

They're working it.

They're playing this game.

Oh!

I'm jealous!

That's not fair!

Bring it.

Bring it on.

I'm not looking to take somebody to the end

that I could win against.

I'm looking to stick with the alliance

that I made with Danielle from week one.

I forget to move my piece forward.

I feel like if Amy went to the end,

I feel like any of the three--

Lisa, Danielle, or myself--

would win it, just because I don't know

that any of the evicted house guests

would give the game to Amy.

This week, I'm the vote.

I'm the executioner.

When you had to make the decision, you made it.

Yeah.

I have to look at Amy and Lisa and decide

who Danielle and I have a better chance

of winning that HOH against.

I, as the days go on, get a little more worried,

because I think that Lisa is an amazing competitor

in this game. What's Plan A?

You and me at the end? Yeah.

I love Lisa.

But we gotta take her out.

To win that HOH, Danielle and I

are going to have to work like we have not worked yet.

What's Plan B?

There is no Plan B.

That's it.

Does Jason have a dark side?

I am Jason's dark side.

He's good.

I'm evil.

We balance each other out.

Jason's still got a few minutes before he

has to announce his decision.

Let's talk to him and the rest of the house guests now.

Hi, everybody. - Hi.

Hey, Julie.

How are you guys doing tonight?

- Good. - Great.

Very well.

JULIE: Jason, tonight you are the most powerful person

in the Big Brother house.

And the luckiest man in America.

JULIE: That's right.

Three beautiful women, two of whom have been flirting

with you a lot this past week.

What?

Danielle! JULIE: But Jason--

I don't know what you're talking about, Julie.

JULIE: I want to talk about your power,

because you alone will decide who stays and who goes tonight.

How does that feel?

Um, it's-- it's horrible, really, because I love both

people that are on the block.

I care very deeply for Lisa and for Amy, and to have

to pick between one of them--

it just-- it really is a bad place to be.

But I've got to do it.

It's part of the game.

I knew it when I signed up for it, that it was

going to be tough, and I was going

to be put in these situations.

Gotta do it.

JULIE: Well, has any of the flirting that I've been seeing

in that house this past week influenced how

you're going to vote tonight?

Julie, I can't kiss and tell.

JULIE: Oh, that sounds like a maybe.

Lisa, as the winner of America's Choice

this week, you had an online chat with your internet fans.

What was it like to have your first contact

with the outside world?

It was amazing.

A little overwhelming.

I didn't know what to expect.

They were all really nice, and I was just

so glad to talk to people and have conversations

other than these lovely people.

But it was so nice.

JULIE: One person in particular, Eric, right?

What was it like to hear from him for the first time

since he left the house?

It was good.

I miss him so much.

And so to know that he made the extra effort to come and say

hi really meant a lot.

JULIE: Amy, last week you won a luxury competition

where you won a phone call and a cash prize all at the expense

of your housemates.

Now, they were quick to point fingers,

and you-- you fessed up.

Now, if they hadn't done that, would you have

been able to keep it a secret?

No, I wouldn't have keeping it a secret,

because we're all really close.

And you can't keep a secret from Danielle.

JULIE: She'll out you.

- Yes. - All right.

Well, thank you house guests.

I'll be back in just a little bit

to talk more with all of you.

Coming up, we'll find out how Lori,

Tonya, Eric, and Roddy are dealing with life

after "Big Brother ."

And later, the live eviction.

Of the four remaining house guests,

the nominees, Lisa and Amy, are not allowed to vote,

nor is Danielle as Head of Household.

That means the pressure is on Jason

to make the final decision.

Let's find out what's on his mind.

I love Amy.

I love Lisa.

I'm just in a position where my one

vote decides against the two of them,

because they're on the block.

If I had it my way, we would all--

we'd all just live here for one more week and split the cash.

I really will be saying goodbye to someone

that I wish could stay in this house and in this game.

It's almost a compliment to whoever leaves.

It means that you were looked at as a great threat,

and it's just tough, but it's game.

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

How did the final four make it this far?

Jason, Danielle, Amy, and Lisa each reveal

the secret to their success.

I tell you, getting this HOH was probably the most

easiest HOH of them all.

I love you guys.

And I meant what I said.

I think this is the best final four we could ask for.

Yeah.

This is an alliance-free house.

This is a malice-free house.

This is vendetta-free house.

There is absolutely no under the table action going on at all,

and it's perfect.

We're gonna sit there and say, we played all y'all.

When it comes down to final three,

I think Dani and I are the only two people with an alliance,

and I think we're the only people that

will stick up for each other.

I want it.

Bring it.

Why do you want it so bad, Danielle?

I want everything.

She's gonna fight me.

It was some time week one, before the first eviction,

Danielle and I decided that we were going to work together

until the end, never, ever imagining that we could make it

this far-- to the final four.

I was really concerned that no one

came to me with an alliance.

People don't come talk to you, that

means that you're part of the plan to be

picked off sooner or later.

Any time there was an alliance or anyone

thought there was an alliance in the house,

they wanted to break it up.

Josh and Roddy.

Chiara and Roddy.

Amy and Marcellas.

And by us keeping it a secret, they

never thought we were a threat.

What was your turning point?

I really felt like it was the week Eric was evicted.

It changed so much.

Now, honestly, I love the guy.

But if he'd stayed in this house,

I know I wouldn't have been there.

When Gerry won HOH and he nominated Lisa and Eric,

that's when I really started playing the game.

And we saved Lisa.

JULIE: Eric, you have been evicted

from the Big Brother house.

That turned Chiara against me, and it did that whole drama.

Someone told me she was going to vote against you.

And that's what pissed me off.

Lisa--

And here's Lisa. [inaudible]

What's wrong guys?

Quickly, Lisa learned what had gone on,

and then she started working with Danielle.

That was the place where the power shifted in this house.

JULIE: If you want Amy to return, raise your red paddle.

If you want Eric to return, raise your black paddle.

Amy came back.

That was a major part of the game.

Obviously, I nominated the two of you.

This is not about revenge.

Ultimately, Chiara got what she deserved.

I've had a much more pleasant game because Chiara's gone.

JULIE: Chiara, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

Amy cleaned up her laundry, and Amy

kicked some butt in this house.

If I knew anyone that was against Jason--

I was like, you gotta go.

JULIE: Gerry, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

But it was just like things would just work out.

I want it.

And I know Dani wants it.

We're going to go after it.

And I believe the final two will be Dani and Jason.

I think the reason why I made it as far as I did,

Lisa, is because people underestimated me.

I think people underestimated every single person

that's still in this house.

To make it in this game, you need patience.

I think it's really important to stay true to yourself.

You need a very good sense of humor,

and you have to be able to let things roll off your back.

I think it's important to hold your cards close

and not let people know exactly what's going on.

I believe I made it this far in the game

because of an incredible trust and bond

that I built with Daniella.

Jason has always been my friend from the beginning.

It's friendship and loyalty and trust.

And that's what you need to make it in this game.

One of the final four, Danielle,

is sitting alone in her private room on her last night

as this week's Head of Household.

Let's talk to her now.

Hi, Danielle. - Hi, Julie.

How are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

Now this is the first time for us speaking this way,

and I want to remind you the other

house guests cannot hear our conversation,

so you can speak candidly.

OK.

JULIE: Now, you have admitted to us in the past

that you have thrown past HOH competitions.

How many have you deliberately lost and why?

I've probably thrown at least

HOH competitions, because frankly,

I had a deal with the devil.

And I knew if I won the HOH competition,

I had to break my word.

So--

JULIE: Meaning Roddy.

Yes.

You mean, if you won, you wouldn't

have been able to put him up, and you wanted

someone else to put him up.

Exactly.

If I won HOH, I wouldn't be able to put Roddy up.

But I wanted--

I wanted to.

JULIE: OK.

So is it fair to say that this last week, you were playing

for real?

This was all real.

JULIE: OK.

Why was this HOH so important to you, then?

This HOH was extremely important to me

because Jason was weak, and I knew I

had to win it to protect Jason.

And the fact that I'm able to compete this week as well.

So this was the time for Danielle to bring on the game,

and I played the game, and I won.

Well, you have been very committed to Jason

and your plan to make it to the final two

since early in the game.

Have you ever doubted that strategy?

Never.

Not once have I ever doubted the alliance

between Jason and myself.

It's been strong, and I think that's why

we're here to the final four or three because of this.

JULIE: Are you-- are you confident that Jason

will remain loyal to the end?

Absolutely.

I have no doubt in my mind that Jason will always

remain loyal to me to the end.

JULIE: And do you think, out of the two of you,

maybe Jason did more of the dirty work?

At least in appearance--

in appearances?

I think in appearance, it seemed that Jason was doing

the dirty work, but I was as innocent as a dove,

but sly as a snake.

JULIE: Thank you, Danielle. - You're welcome.

You can rejoin your housemates in the living room.

Thank you.

Up next, evicted house guests reveal

how life has changed for them after leaving

the Big Brother house.

Then the live eviction.

Either Lisa or Amy will go tonight,

and it comes down to just one vote--

Jason's.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

In less than one week, we'll find out

who will win "Big Brother ."

This Wednesday, September th, the ultimate decision

of who will win the game is up to the evicted house

guests, whose lives have continued since leaving

the Big Brother house.

We checked in with Lori, Tonya, Eric, and Roddy

to see what they think of the game, each other,

and how their lives have changed after their eviction.

This is my family, don't you know?

I may have been the first house guest to leave that house.

JULIE: You are evicted from the Big Brother house.

Very well.

What I missed the most while I was in the house

was my family, my boyfriend.

Right now, life consists of football games.

I was a little surprised that Roddy voted me out.

I vote to evict Lori.

But that's the price we pay to play the game.

I've been listening to people kind of picking at Gerry.

Who was the spokesperson?

Who started it?

- [inaudible] out. - OK.

Who voiced it?

[inaudible] bathroom, and he did not wash his nasty hands.

It's disgusting. - Who voiced it?

I said it. I said it.

Call them in.

I just thought, enough is enough, and too much is plenty.

We're grown here.

Let's grow up.

I look at Amy, with her lack of self-control

where alcohol is concerned.

[inaudible]

She's not thinking right now.

It's sad.

We've made a piece of history together, you know?

Just kidding.

The most exciting thing was getting out the house

and seeing my kids.

The divorce has been really hard on them.

It's really great when the kids are around.

It kind of takes everything away, all the pain away.

[inaudible] loved my boobs.

The fact that she's a mother, and all her babies

seeing that, talking like that.

Boobs this and liposuction that.

She has to be the most conniving, deceitful person

I've ever seen in my life.

They assumed because I dressed one way or I did something

that I was a horrible mother.

I definitely have a wild side to me,

but first and foremost, I'm a mom.

I'm a very loving mom.

There's nothing written that says

that you cannot be sexy and still be a mom with five kids.

I'm Mom to them.

I just happen to be sexy, too.

Coming out of the house, I did, you

know, run into some difficulties and some hard times.

Obviously, you know, there was stuff on the internet about me.

One of the things I was most embarrassed about

was the peanut butter contest.

You don't really realize what people are like until you come

out, and you get to see how deceitful they were

or how honest they were. - Why?

Talking behind my back?

I haven't talked behind your back.

I didn't say a word.

Just so you know, just so you know--

Ask anybody. I didn't say a thing.

I'm not one to screw with.

I'm glad I ripped Amy's a*s.

And Marcellas, too, because I really

think they both deserved it.

That's a stripper masquerading as a mother.

Other than that, I got to meet, you know,

some wonderful people.

So I had a really great experience overall.

Life has been good since getting

out of the Big Brother house.

Dinner's on, guys.

Let's eat. What are we having?

PB&J?

I was so excited to see my family

when I got out of the house.

Obviously, they were pulling for me more than anybody else.

My family's been there for me in the past.

They always have been.

They always will be.

It's a gourmet dinner.

For old time's sake.

That's what you did.

Since I've been out of the house,

I have gone back to work.

However, there has been some disciplinary action

taken against me because of my trip to the Big Brother house.

I was suspended from work for two weeks.

It was a misinterpretation of the contract, you know,

that governs my job.

Although it's temporary, you know,

it still hurts a little bit.

And I've got the support of my family.

I've got the support of my fellow firefighters

that I work with.

I love those guys.

Happy to be back.

I wasn't sure what my mother thought

about my whole relationship in the house with Lisa.

It was a bit racy at times, when I saw, you know, what we did.

But she understands. She's my mom.

That's what moms do.

They understand this stuff.

Even though I didn't win the money,

you know, I can't ask for anything more.

It doesn't matter how far I got.

I won, because I met Lisa.

And I can't wait to see her.

I came to Las Vegas when I first got out of the house.

People keep giving me tips on the house,

not realizing that I can't go back.

People don't realize that I'm not in the house anymore.

Like, they keep telling me to watch out for Danielle.

It is ironic that Danielle called the master manipulator.

That man was the devil, Marcellas.

To kick the devil out is one thing.

To kick out someone who really might be sticking up for you

and really might be good to you is something else.

Roddy picks only a certain sentences in your whole

conversation, and keys on that.

That's what makes him like Satan.

Every time I was charming, and she would negotiate it to say,

oh, well, even the devil was likable,

or whatever the hell she had said.

He the devil.

"Big Brother ."

I saw the horns grow.

I saw the horns grow.

I don't know if I'll ever forget

that that woman did that to me, and I did nothing to her.

The Amy-Chiara thing was really--

it got to be the point, it was like the last

minutes of Scarface.

Have you made any advancements toward Roddy?

You know, to see some of the tapes

now, to see what was really happening, it's just--

[cat noise]

I was just so surprised at what a frenzy had happened

over Chiara and I. We were friends,

and we flirted, and we slept next to each other.

My relationship with Chiara was very difficult in the house.

I can't wait to tell my dad and brother about you.

If I go and see Chiara now, and Chiara and I

like each other, that's because I like her now,

not because I liked her there.

My strategy was to not lie.

That's it.

In that house, to establish that you're trustworthy

was, to me, very important.

I thought that was a great strategy.

Or a good strategy, at least. And here I am.

I'm in Vegas now. I'm not in the house.

It wasn't a great strategy.

We'll hear from the other evicted house guests, Chiara,

Josh, Gerry, and Marcellas, in a special live edition

of Big Brother this Saturday at : Eastern, : Central.

Back in the house with only minutes

to go until the live vote, Lisa and Amy

are awaiting their fate.

Let's talk to them now.

Hi, everyone. - Hey, Julie.

Hi.

JULIE: Now I'm back to talk to the two nominees, Lisa and Amy.

Amy, this is getting to be like a scene from Groundhog Day.

Tonight marks your sixth time on the nomination block.

Does it get harder or easier each time?

I think it gets easier.

I'm sure that when I actually leave the house,

my little brother will say, Amy, weren't you embarrassed?

I'm so embarrassed.

Lisa, this is your second time in that purple chair.

Was it harder the first time when

you were nominated against Eric or this time

when you're so close to the end of the game?

I think it was harder when I was nominated up against Eric,

because I knew that, you know, one of us

was definitely leaving.

And you know, here I'm just thankful to be this close.

JULIE: That's a good attitude.

Well, ladies, the live eviction is just a few minutes away.

What you say right now could influence Jason's decision.

Keeping that in mind, what would you like to tell him?

Amy, I'm going to ask you to go first.

Sugar-- no.

I'm sorry, Dani, for what you're about to hear.

I'm kidding.

I do want to say that to the viewers,

this show is about winning half a million dollars,

but to all of us who live in the house hours

a day, seven days a week, this is a portion of our lives.

And it's so special.

It's a wonderful experience, and I feel very

blessed to be a part of it.

JULIE: Lisa?

In the last couple of weeks, we've been joking around about,

you know, we just have to love each other a little bit more.

And with you guys, you know, specifically, I

feel like if I loved you anymore,

I'd feel obligated to, you know, walk down the aisle.

So I really can't love you guys any more than I do,

and I'm glad that I'm in the house with you guys.

OK.

Thank you, house guests.

I'll be back.

When we return, Jason will cast the deciding vote live.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

It is time for the second to last eviction.

In one purple chair sits Amy, the real estate appraiser

nominated six times, who has beaten all the odds

to make it to the final four.

Will her luck run out tonight?

In the other chair sits Lisa, the Los

Angeles bartender who has flown under the radar

for much of the game.

Will she be available tonight to rekindle her romance with Eric?

Let's find out.

House guests, the time has come for Jason to decide

who will stay and who will go.

Jason, please cast your vote to evict now.

Um, I just was saying thanks to Danielle,

because this is a really tough position to be in,

but it's also a position of safety.

And I'm, Lisa and Amy both, honored

to have lived in this house with you for as long as we have.

And I do care about you both very, very much.

This week has been, in my opinion,

the greatest week, the most fun week,

and I really feel bonded and connected to both of you.

I want to say congratulations to both of you

on making it into the final week.

There are six days, so no matter what happens,

I'll see you guys in six days.

And with that being said, I vote to evict you, Amy.

I love you. - [inaudible].

And we're going to go to the fair.

We're going to the fair.

JULIE: Let me just cut in and make it official

and make the announcement.

These are familiar words to you, Amy.

Amy.

Yes, they are, Julie.

JULIE: You are now evicted again from the Big Brother house.

I love you, girl.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

[inaudible], Amy.

OK?

All right?

- I love you too, Amy. - All right, y'all.

- Amy, I love you. - I love y'all, too.

See you in six days.

I'll see y'all in six days.

I'll have armed guards at the cast party.

No. You don't need them.

[inaudible]

Yeah, I do. Really.

No, you don't.

I do.

Tell your mom and dad, Hadley and Bucky, that we love them.

I will.

You remember--

Taking all your stuff?

Like a true Southern Belle, sweetie.

- Take care, OK? - I will.

Y'all, don't cry. You're only gonna make my cry.

Lisa, I love you.

I'm going to get [inaudible]. - You better.

You better.

I love you, sugar.

You take care, all right?

I love you, Danielle, so much.

Thank you so much.

OK.

All right?

OK.

Ugh.

You got it?

It seems like yesterday, with that big old bag.

OK.

Ready?

- Here goes. - Bye, Amy.

Bye, y'all.

You have fun this week.

Love you.

We'll miss you.

So we meet again.

- Yes. - How are you, Amy?

Wonderful.

Leave that bag there.

Oh, and your flower.

And follow me.

You know where to sit by now, don't you?

Oh, yes.

I'm very familiar with this process.

I gave my word.

Yeah.

Final three.

Final three.

So we'll go up there, and let's get it on, girls.

Girl. - Guy.

Guy. [laughs]

I'm like, what? What?

What?

We're putting you in a skirt.

Put you in a skirt.

No.

It's sad, though.

I'm going to miss Amy.

I know.

But--

We'll see her in six days.

That's right.

We'll see each other in six days.

- Six days. - Six days.

Do we have to change?

No.

He said he was going to let us know to change,

and then get back to our--

Yeah.

John, do we need to change?

We'll just talk until they--

Well, Amy, first of all, congratulations

on making it to the final four.

Thank you.

That, you know, is something that

deserves a pat on the back.

Thank you.

JULIE: Now, you were nominated six times.

Many times, you expected to be evicted.

Yes.

But did you at any point, especially making it

to the final four, start seeing that half million

dollars within your reach?

No.

I didn't.

I never really did.

I never expected to make it in the final four.

I never expected to make it past my first eviction.

And so this has just been such an experience for me.

Every moment of it's been wonderful.

Did you expect to be sitting here with me tonight?

You know what?

I expected to be sitting here with you every Thursday night.

Well, recently you said of the final four that

it was an alliance-free house.

Mm hm.

JULIE: Do you still feel that way?

I really do.

You know, and I may watch the tapes and find otherwise,

but we were all so close.

And we've had such a calm past week.

Everything has been so much fun.

And you know, there really was no backstabbing,

and it was very clean at the end.

JULIE: Would it surprise you to know

that Danielle and Jason have been in an alliance

from basically week one?

Wow.

Well, I always said Danielle was so smart, so you know.

JULIE: So do you respect that, or do you feel disappointed?

Oh, yes. [inaudible]

I don't feel disappointed at all,

because the fact remains that it was very clean at the end.

You know, there was no backstabbing.

No-- you know, we weren't being lied to.

No one was really being lied to.

It was pretty much we just all enjoyed ourselves.

And that's what I wanted out of this experience,

is just to enjoy myself.

A couple of weeks ago, you said to us in the diary room--

now this is a quote--

I came into this house this mean, horrible, little

creature, little backstabbing witch,

and I've turned into this big, emotional, cry baby.

Would you say this experience in the Big Brother house

has made you a better person?

Yes, I really feel that it has.

I've just learned a lot of very important life lessons

in the Big Brother house.

Things that--

JULIE: Lessons you'll take with you?

Lessons that I'll take with me, definitely.

So many, and they've been wonderful.

Well, we asked your three housemates to each tape

a farewell message to you.

Oh, god. OK.

You know how this goes.

This is what they had to say.

Queen Amy.

The ice queen with the warm heart.

Amy, I know that when you first left this house,

you never imagined that you would take

this game this far, that you would ever

have a chance to come back in.

I'm really glad that we've become closer this time around

than we were the first time around.

I think you're absolutely beautiful and wonderful.

In the beginning, it was like, ugh.

But as I got to know you, I realized this girl

really has a big, warm heart.

I am looking forward to the fair.

And I will do everything in my power to make sure

that I do not stand you up.

I'm going to be there.

I really hope that you let more of the outside world

see the real you, because it's a really beautiful person.

And I love you.

Good luck to you.

Love you, girl.

Bye bye.

Finally thoughts?

We have these ready for you.

Thank you.

For whoever was going to be--

I am the house cry baby.

Final thoughts after seeing?

Yeah.

I'm so happy that the final four came down to this.

JULIE: Rooting for who now?

Danielle.

As always. JULIE: Really?

Yes.

Well, we will see you back here this coming Wednesday

on finale night, when you and the rest of the jury

votes on who will win "Big Brother ."

In the meantime, you have two very special guests.

Your mom flew in from Memphis, and Sir Oliver Buckingham.

Oh, Bucky!

Oh, my god.

Right over there.

Oh, my baby!

Oh, my god!

Bucky, I told y'all he'd make a potty on himself.

Oh, Bucky!

Oh, my baby.

Oh, angel!

Mama loves you so much.

Up next, we'll see who's got what it takes

to win the final and most crucial

Head of Household competition.

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Tonight, the house guests will embark on a journey

that will put them to the test.

Their goal, to win a three-part Head of Household competition,

the ultimate challenge that will ensure

them a spot in the final two.

Whoever wins this three-part competition

will determine which housemate will stand next to them

in the finale.

At that point, the evicted house

guests will return to vote on the winner of "Big Brother ."

House guests, power is up for grabs.

Let's begin the final HOH competition.

Now, as you all know, all house guests

are eligible to compete in the final HOH.

So Danielle, that means as this week's

Head of Household-- outgoing Head of Household,

you may compete.

Now, the first thing I'd like the three of you to do

is head out to the backyard.

And once you're outside, take off your microphones

and place them on the podium.

You guys can go, too.

Follow Jason.

You're so obedient.

Now, this is part one of a three-part competition.

This first part is called HOH lifeboat.

Now, since some of you didn't get to go to the Pacific Ocean,

we brought the water to you.

I want each of you to go to the ladder

that has your gold key on it.

OK.

It looks like you're already there.

Now, grab your key.

Lisa, I'll let you finish fixing your ponytail there.

And once you do, I need each of you to grab your key

and get into your lifeboat.

Once you're in-- careful.

Once you're in, untie your lifeboat from the ladder.

And when I give you the signal, paddle to the nomination box

and insert your key.

Is everyone untied? - Yes.

Yes.

JULIE: OK.

Go ahead and paddle out, and once you get to the nomination

box, insert your key.

OK.

Everyone's key is in, right?

Now, hold on to your key.

Everyone holding on?

Looks that way.

Now, don't-- what did you say?

I think you know what's coming, Jason.

I know what's coming, Julie.

Shall we say this together?

Don't let go.

Very good.

Your mission is to outlast your housemates.

The person who holds onto their key

the longest without letting go wins this round

of the three-part competition.

Whoever wins this endurance test clearly has the most desire

to be Head of Household and will move directly into round three.

The remaining two will battle it out in the next round,

and that winner will advance to round three.

Now remember, whatever happens, do not let go of your key,

and do not get off your raft.

No matter what happens.

Is everyone clear? - Yes.

Yes.

Any questions?

Can we switch hands?

Can you switch hands?

That's a very good question.

You can switch hands for the first few hours.

For the first--

I believe we decided three hours.

I'm making that decision.

Now for the first three hours, you can switch hands.

Any other questions?

Can we bail water with--

with this cup?

JULIE: I don't see why not.

What, you think you can bail out the whole pool?

If we get any in our boat?

JULIE: Yes, you can Jason.

Using our hands and things, too?

JULIE: And we will answer more questions in a little bit.

Thank you, house guests.

I'll be back to check on all of you.

This could be a long night for Jason, Danielle, and Lisa.

What they don't know is that "Big Brother" has cut

a deal with Mother Nature and a storm

is brewing in the backyard.

Stay with us.

It's just a matter of days before we crown

the winner of "Big Brother ."

Join us for a special live edition

this Saturday at : Eastern, :

Central to find out who wins this pivotal Head

of Household competition.

That person will immediately evict one of their housemates,

and the final three will become the final two.

Then next Wednesday, September ,

at : Eastern, : Central, you

won't want to miss the finale.

That's when the evicted house guests

will reunite to vote on the winner of "Big Brother ."

Now, let's check back in on our house guests one last time.

Hi, everyone.

How's everyone doing?

Are you all comfortable? - Yes.

[laughs] Yes.

Well, that may change.

I hear a storm is moving in.

[thunder]

Oh, Julie.

JULIE: Good luck, house guests.

Ah!

Oh, my--

Oh, my god.

Can we put the hat on?

Woo!

That is so cold.

Oh!

Oh my God.

This is hard.

Julie, you better have chicken soup for us!

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh!

Help me!
