04x17 - Episode 17

[bunniefuu]

ANNOUNCER: Previously on "Big Brother "--

the dream team kept their dream alive as Justin won

the coveted Head of Household.

It feels excellent, you know?

ANNOUNCER: Wasting little time, Justin

took the first steps towards eliminating the greatest

threats to his alliance--

Nathan and Jack-- by nominating them for eviction.

The face of the matter is both of you didn't

hesitate to lie to my face.

And I can't look past that.

ANNOUNCER: Jack and Nathan mourned the state

of the original alliance.

So unbelievable.

Eight, to four, to three.

Eight, to four, to three.

ANNOUNCER: As the crucial veto competition got underway,

Nathan found himself cornered.

So what-- what's going on here?

Triple team?

ANNOUNCER: And eliminated.

Leaving Robert to claim the golden power of veto

for the second week in a row.

I guess luck wasn't on my side again.

ANNOUNCER: Egos were flexed.

Dude, from here on out, we're like--

we're going to be remembered in this game.

ANNOUNCER: And in the end, the veto was set aside--

I'm not going to use the power of veto today.

ANNOUNCER: Leaving Justin's nominations in place.

My back's against the wall.

I'm going to see what I can do.

You can never take anything for granted in this house.

ANNOUNCER: Who will be the next house guest eliminated

from the "Big Brother" house--

Jack or Nathan?

Find out next on "Big Brother ".

[theme music]

Good evening.

I'm Julie Chen.

Welcome to "Big Brother ".

It's day inside the "Big Brother" house

and the power continues to shift.

Justin, the head hunter from Pittsburgh,

won his first Head of Household competition,

putting the g*ng known as the Three Stooges--

Justin, Robert, and Jee--

in the power seat.

He then placed Nathan, the personal trainer from Oklahoma,

and Jack, the retired FBI agent from Birmingham, Alabama,

on the chopping block, saying that it was payback for lying

to him earlier in the game.

Any hope of salvation that Nathan or Jack held quickly

disappeared when another member of the Three Stooges--

Robert, the restaurant manager from LA--

won his second golden power of veto

and chose to keep Justin's nominations intact.

Which of these two will be the next to exit

the "Big Brother" house?

We'll find out tonight, when the house guests cast their votes

in the next hour, live.

Even we don't know what to expect.

But first, everyone is on edge as Jack lays low,

while Nathan scrambles to save his life

in the "Big Brother" house.

I think so.

You don't eat them?

Yeah, I ear them, but I don't prefer them.

You might be the pickiest eater I've

ever met in my entire life.

At least you have something to remember me by.

I'll remember you.

You know, it--

it sucks, being the block.

And I'm still trying to cope with it.

Like I said, last ditch effort--

I'm going throw it at Justin, just by himself,

and see what he does.

I'm just going to tell him what deal I think is best for him.

And if he accepts it, then great,

but if he doesn't, then, you know, I got to go.

Although I think I'm secure, you can never take anything

for granted in this house because each eviction is

magnified in terms of the difficulty

of the game inside the house.

Isn't that great-- how everybody is such

a mess in this house but us?

So it's like "Revenge of the Nerds Part II."

It's ridiculous.

This will be the third week in a row

that we chip away at the original, eight alliance.

I don't know how they landed themselves in this position,

but I'm going to let them get rid of some scrap meat--

maybe Jun.

[knife slicing]

Jack.

[knife slicing]

Nathan.

And then I plan on attacking them.

You got some thick legs.

That's why the black boys love me.

What is wrong?

I'm just trying to think of a possibly way

that I could stay here.

Being mean to me isn't one of them.

I went to Nathan in the kitchen

and kind of told him to not trust people so much,

especially Alison.

Because, at this point, there's no point in me lying to you.

Ali wasn't % trustworthy.

Like that night that Justin won, she was trying to convince

him to get out Jack before you.

But then when she saw that wasn't going to work,

she just gave it up and kind of changed her tune.

Well, what did she say now?

Why did she tell you that?

Do I need to go and confront her right now?

I mean, is that what I need to do?

She's trying to start a fight for no reason.

I don't have it.

Pick it up.

Jun, can I ask you a question?

Why is it absolutely necessary for you

to tell him not to trust me?

I didn't tell him not to trust you, I told

him not to trust you, %.

He was like, well, let's go confront her.

Tell him to stop crying like a little baby.

He said he was going to take it like a man.

Thanks, Jun.

All right.

Huh?

What did he say?

- Did he really say that? - Yeah.

I told him to [muted] off.

Nathan, don't!

Please, don't, Nathan!

Easy, Nate.

Nate!

Uno.

Guys, what's going on, man?

Like Justin, Ali told me you called me a--

quit being a baby.

You don't see me going up, trying

to make freaking deals every five seconds,

and crying about it.

I'm taking it like man.

But when Ali comes up to me three or four times--

Right.

She's like, he's pissing me off.

He just keep whining.

She does it all day.

All of like-- probably like three times a day, since you--

since, you know, nominations.

And I didn't see you doing it, you know?

I haven't been doing it.

What she's telling us are just lies.

- You know, Jun-- - I don't know what to tell you.

If you're going to call us out,

let's go ahead and call you out.

You're floating around from party to party.

You're a little snake, you know?

You talk about everybody in here and then you come report to us.

- Really? - And you do the same thing.

- I do? - Yeah.

I mean, so if you're going to call people out,

let's call you out. - OK.

While we're doing it.

OK.

And if anybody's a sneaky person, it's you.

Why are you trying to stir things up?

If I leave, I leave.

OK.

You know?

That's all I got to say.

When Nathan called me a sneak and a snake,

it did not hurt my feelings in the least.

I kept my composure and it frustrated Nathan even more.

The kid is on his way out and I just

didn't want him going out still twirled

around Ali's pinky finger.

[music playing]

[knocking]

What's up, jiggas?

What's up, brother?

What's happening?

Not much, man.

I just, uh-- actually, I just want to talk one more time.

I just feel like, man, we have been going at each other

because of a girl.

Honestly, she's the one that's causing us to do that.

You know, why are we going to let freaking Ali to do this?

You see, I'm not, though, you are.

That's what I'm saying. - Yeah.

It's not me.

And it-- Justin, you know, all the respect,

she drives me crazy.

And I didn't know, man.

Justin, for you to have a chance to win the money,

why don't we freaking team up?

What could be going on, Jack?

If you spare me, I will put up--

this is the honest to God truth--

anybody you guys want me to.

I mean, who-- who would you want?

Anybody else, just not Robert, Jee, or me.

I don't have alliance with anyone right now.

I mean, Ali was the only one I trusted and our trust is gone,

brother.

You rubbed a lot of people the wrong way when--

when you took Ali off.

She's like, I've been buttering him up, took him out to dinner,

had to get him to, you know, use the veto on me.

And I was just like, you're [muted] scandalous.

I have a chance to win.

I wouldn't put you guys up, you know what I'm saying?

Like right now, like if I was the one making the decision,

I would say, OK, let's do.

We got--

Yeah.

Jun, Robert, Jee.

That's all we need.

I can't see him keeping Nate here.

All right. Well, we'll give it a try.

All right. I appreciate it, bro.

Yeah. No problem.

Thanks.

See, the only reason I lean toward keeping Nathan

is just because Jack and Erika in the HOH,

rather than just Erika.

It is tough for you because you have two people

going against you right now.

Of course, that is very enticing for him to offer--

to propose a deal like that.

I'll do what's better for you.

If Nathan won the Head of Household, none of those three

would go up.

Sometimes, if you, you know, over think, rethink a plan,

it kind of backfires.

I mean, I--

I don't have a clue.

I won't until, probably, eviction night.

Let's check in with the house guests

and see how they're doing.

Hello, everyone.

- Hi, Julie. - Hi, Julie.

How's everyone doing tonight?

Great.

Just fine.

JULIE: Now everyone was taking their turn

visiting the three amigos in the Head of Household bedroom

this week--

The three amigos?

Jun, I want to ask you something.

How do you think Justin and his two compadres handled

their position of power?

Um-- I think they handled it the way I expected them

to handle it, like three boys.

They had a lot of boy time and they left me out a lot.

But, you know, they kind of let me know what was going on,

which was the most important thing to me,

but they did really handle it like it was a boy's club.

OK.

Thank you, Jun.

Jack? - Yes.

I have to say, you made a very cute strawberry

in the last food competition.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Do you ever think you'll be able to live

that one down with the Bureau?

What I hope, Julie, is that I can

work undercover, in the Middle East, as a strawberry.

Fruit of the Loom is written all over you, Jack.

Thanks for the compliment.

Jee?

Yes.

How happy are you that the house, including Justin

and those shorts of his that he always wears,

won laundry service for the week?

That's horrible.

What is that?

Don't put me up on the spot like that, Julie!

He's my boy.

I can't do that to him.

No, but we were-- we were, you know, all happy that they

get the laundry service.

I mean, I was happy for everyone.

And, you know, it was a great competition.

And it was just one day that I happened

to run across his shorts and they kind of, you know,

stank like butt.

That was just that one day.

That was it.

And, you know, it's cool.

It's cool. - OK.

Thank you, Jee.

No problem.

Jack and Nathan, as nominees, you will

have a chance to speak later.

But right now, I'd like to give an opportunity to

certain people to speak to you.

Erika, in the event that Jack is evicted tonight,

is there anything that you'd like to say to your roommate?

I think I've said everything I've said already.

Jack knows-- he's like my dad in the house.

He knows.

Thanks.

Thank you, Erika.

Alison, if Nathan, your frequent bed mate,

is the one to leave tonight--

I'm not lying now--

do you have anything you'd like to say to Nathan--

That came out wrong.

JULIE: In case he is the one to walk out tonight.

Oh, Nathan, you have been really awesome to me

in this house.

You've been my best friend in the house, my brother,

and if you leave, I'm going to miss you.

If you stay, I'm going to be very happy.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you, Alison.

Thanks, everyone.

And I'll be back to talk with Justin,

our current Head of Household, and his two nominees

a little later.

Coming up, Jun, Erika, and Alison are the last three women

in the "Big Brother" house.

They've each relied on their own, distinct strategies

to survive this long, but do they have what

it takes to win the $,?

And later, "Big Brother 's" first live vote for eviction.

Of the eight remaining house guests,

the nominees, Nathan and Jack, are not allowed to vote,

neither is Justin, the current Head of Household.

Who will walk out the front door?

No one's fate is sealed yet.

Stay with us.

[music playing]

Welcome back.

Tonight, Nathan and Jack find themselves

facing possible eviction.

For Jack, the retired FBI agent, this is his second time

on the chopping block.

But for Nathan, the personal trainer from Oklahoma,

this is a brand new experience.

His family, watching at home, knows that Nathan

plays everything to win.

And "Big Brother " is no exception.

I don't sound that country.

I have a drawl.

I do not sound that bad.

[MOCKING] I have a drawl.

Chicks dig the accident.

[country music playing]

I'm Nathan's mom.

Nathan grew up in a house full of a lot of girls.

He had to learn how to kind of fend for himself.

I grew up with three girls, man.

It was hell, but I made it.

The little goof ball was always getting into trouble.

He was hiding their animals, hiding their Barbie dolls.

He'd just be back in there laughing and cracking up,

the little booger!

I'm Lindsey.

I'm Nathan's little sister.

And he is a great big brother to me and I love him death.

Nathan has always been the stud.

This is prime time beef.

Oh, god!

At home, on campus--

wherever Nathan was, he just seemed to attract the girls.

In high school, he was voted most handsome.

He's just always had what we call

that "pretty boy" type image.

Go with the wet look or the dry look?

Don't tell him!

He's a fruitcake.

He'll try to hit on me.

When I first heard them saying that they

thought Nathan was g*y, it literally cracked me up.

I'm not g*y!

Nathan is so in touch with his masculinity.

He's always, where's the girls at?

I got to look good for the ladies.

I like women!

He has this gorgeous, curly hair.

Nate hasn't always had that curly hair.

When he was younger, it was a little bit straighter.

And now, since he's gotten older,

he does have all the curly hair.

We like to mess with it, we like to rub our fingers through it.

All the girls do, too.

They love it.

Take it off.

I like just fell in love with you.

You have to stand there and wear that all night.

That's so hot.

In the beginning, I think Alison

and Nathan were very romantically

involved with one another.

I want to get you drink.

Are you trying to take advantage of me?

No.

And then I think it turned into a brother

and sister relationship.

Oh!

God, I hate you!

And now, it's pretty bad.

Hugging Nathan--

Nathan doesn't even smell appealing.

His smell drives me crazy.

Ew!

What?

Because you're so beautiful.

That is not a compliment from you.

That Allison-- definitely, she makes me mad.

He fought for her--

tooth, line, and sinker-- and it really,

really crushed me that she turned on him.

You think so?

I know so.

How's that?

Because I'm smart.

And for once in your [muted] life, trust me.

Alison pisses me off by the extreme.

I liked her, at first.

She was a good girl, she hung out with my brother

all the time.

But now she has gone too far.

Golly!

Golly!

I say it because I don't want to cuss.

When you get nervous, does your accent

come out a lot more?

It comes out so bad.

Golly!

It's been a crazy week.

The next house guest that teases him, I'm

fixing to give them a pop knot!

That's a big golly.

Golly!

It's time to talk privately with Justin,

who is sitting alone in the Head of Household bedroom.

Hi, Justin.

Hi, Julie.

Now, just a reminder, the other

house guests cannot hear us, so, please,

feel free to speak openly.

OK.

Now you were true to your word with Alison

and did not put her on the chopping block.

How long do you plan on honoring that alliance?

You know, that's-- it's a tough question, Julie.

Me and Allie had an agreement since the second day we were

in here, and a lot has happened since then,

and I figured that the whole agreement was squashed.

And then she made a very bold move by not putting me up.

So, you know, when she did that, she gained

a little bit of my trust back, so I felt the need

to repay her a little bit.

So, you know, a little bit at a time,

you know, she's gaining my trust back.

And, you know, who knows what's going to happen.

If she gets it this week, and, you know,

if she gets HOH today, and happens to, you know,

save me again, then I will actually honor my word

and still be true to her.

But, you know, there's no telling what's going to happen.

She's been playing both sides.

And-- and I think everybody is aware of that,

so, you know, there really is no telling what's going to happen.

All right.

That's a fair enough answer.

Now when you gave your reasons for nominating Nathan and Jack,

you said it was because they both lied to you in the past

and you could not overlook that.

Do you think it's possible to play this game and not lie?

Absolutely.

I think it's very possible to play this game

without telling a lie.

That doesn't mean that, you know,

something you say two weeks ago means the same thing

it means today, you know?

Like I could tell somebody I'm not going to put them up,

and then a lot happens in a week,

and then I'm going to put them up.

And I don't really think that that's lying.

I think, you know, it's a different circumstance

and a lot more has to be taken into account.

So, you know, lying to somebody's face

was definitely something that they did to me.

It was, you know--

everybody knew-- America knew-- that everybody was

plotting after us and we were the only ones that

didn't know it.

And people were just--

they were being very fake up to our faces.

Right, right.

Now you, Robert, and Jee seem to have a very tight alliance.

Is there anything that could break that apart?

There's nothing in this house that could break

me, Robert, and Jee apart.

All right.

So let's suppose it's the end of the game right now,

and the three of you are left, and you

have to either evict Robert or Jee, who would you choose?

You know, I don't know, Julie.

If it came down to us three, then, you know, that's

a heck of an accomplishment.

And if we do get that far, I'm sure nobody's going to take it

the wrong way-- who we evict.

So I really couldn't give you an answer.

We'd probably have to flip for it.

All right.

Well, there's a lot of time until the end.

That's right.

And anything can happen, as we know.

Thank you, Justin, and you can rejoin the others now.

Thank you, Julie.

Coming up next--

Jun, Erika, and Alison--

three women with three, unique strategies to win the $,.

Then the live vote and eviction.

Will Nathan's campaign to save himself from pay off?

Stay with us.

[music playing]

Welcome back.

It's only a matter of moments before the votes

are cast, live, to determine the next "Big Brother" eviction.

Will it be Nathan, the personal trainer from Oklahoma,

or Jack, the retired FBI agent from Alabama?

But first, Jun, Erika, and Alison--

one does the cooking, one does the cleaning,

and the other has turned flirting into an art form?

Could one of these three hold the key to victory?

[music playing]

I'm the queen of the kitchen.

And therefore, I'm queen of the house.

I think I'm the nurturer.

But I am the flirt of the "Big Brother " house right now.

Jun is a cook.

The cooking is definitely part of my strategy.

I mean, I like seeing Jun, you know,

spend time in the kitchen, because she loves it.

She loves to cook, she loves to please us.

People like me more because I feed them.

I think Jun is a sneak.

I am sneaky, but I'm a cute, kind of sneaky person.

I don't really have to talk all that much.

I'm more of a listener in this game.

I don't like talking to Erika.

She doesn't really talk, actually.

And she just sits there.

That's the thing-- she listens.

She just listens.

That's all it is.

And that's what worries me.

Erika kind of plays the role of big sister in the house.

Stop picking!

I'm not, mama.

I'm Erika' little, doll baby.

That's, basically, what she calls me.

Hello, girl.

Hello, baby.

She does my hair, she does my makeup, she dresses me.

I'm trying to take on that role with Erika,

so that she has a bond with me and doesn't want me to leave.

Beautiful!

When I do hair and make up around here, you know,

I enjoy it, but then again, it's also

part of my strategy to have people like me and trust me.

I know Erika doesn't have a strategy.

Erika only has Jack.

I think that when you win competitions,

you automatically-- automatically make yourself

a target because people perceive that as the way

to win the game.

I kind of have a strategy going on.

I have been using my feminine side, since day one.

You got to give it to Ali.

She's good.

And when she wants to try and manipulate with her sexuality,

she does it.

He's rubbing my belly.

I have no problem flirting with the people in the house.

I manipulate everybody.

It's kind of fun.

Alison's bringing back the women's

movement like , years.

[music playing]

Ali cries on cue.

Are you kidding me?

I cry all the time in this house to get what I want.

Alison uses her tears as part of her strategy.

I mean, I'm-- I'm definitely the same type of person.

Erika is definitely going for that Emmy award

winning, you know, best cry.

I, personally, cannot stand girls who cry all the time.

[music playing]

At this point, tears are really pointless.

And we all know that we are cold, hard competitors.

With the live vote only minutes away,

let's go back inside the house and talk

with the two nominees--

Nathan and Jack.

Hello again, everyone. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hi, everybody.

Nathan, Jack, as you know, the votes have not

been cast because tonight, your fellow house guests

are voting live.

That means you still have a chance

to change minds and sway votes.

I'm going to give each of you a chance

to plead your case as to why you should remain

inside the "Big Brother" house.

With that in mind, Nathan, what would you like to say

to your fellow house guests?

Well, guys, it's been a long five weeks, it seems like.

And we've had some ups and downs.

And if I do happen to leave this house,

I want each and everyone of you to know that, you know,

I want to be known as a loyal, trustworthy person.

And if-- if that means anything, by saving me,

then I hope it does.

But if it doesn't, I hope you guys

continue to think about that as I leave or if I'm gone already.

So with that said, that's it.

JULIE: Thank you, Nathan.

And Jack, how about you?

Thank you, Julie.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to be here, with all of you,

to compete in this fun and complicated game.

It's-- the difficult thing is that

we must nominate and evict people

who have become close friends.

It must be done.

I understand what you have to do.

I know that if I leave, it will be strategic and not personal.

I have the greatest fondness and respect for all of you.

I would like to stay.

Thank you, Jack.

And I'll be back a little later for the voting.

When we return, the votes are cast live.

And as we've seen before, anything can happen.

Stay with us.

[music playing]

Welcome back.

It's time for "Big Brother 's" live vote and eviction.

Who will be next to leave the "Big Brother" house--

Nathan, the personal trainer from Oklahoma,

or Jack, the retired FBI agent?

Let's find out.

House guests, it's time to cast your votes.

Here's how the voting will work--

one at a time, the five eligible house guests

will enter the diary room and cast their vote.

Once everyone has voted, I will reveal the result.

Robert, you're up first.

Please go to the diary room.

[music playing]

Robert is one of Justin's closest allies.

They both agreed that Nathan is the biggest threat

in the house, but did Nathan's last minute

appeal sway Robert's vote?

Hi, Robert.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Nathan.

Thank you, Robert.

Please return to the living room and send Jee in.

Sure.

[music playing]

Jee money.

With Robert voting to evict Nathan,

is it safe to assume that Jee will vote the same way?

Let's see.

Hi, Jee. - Hi, Julie.

Are you ready to cast your vote?

- Yes, I am. - All right.

Please do so now.

I vote to evict Nathan.

Thank you, Jee.

You can return to the living room and send in Alison.

OK.

[music playing]

Alison has had a longstanding alliance with Nathan.

He even saved her from the chopping block

with the golden power of veto.

Will she return the favor?

Hi, Alison.

Hi.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Nathan.

Thank you, Alison.

You can rejoin the others.

And please send Jun in.

No problem.

[music playing]

With three votes, Nathan has already been evicted

from the house, but will--

will Jun or Erika give him a sympathy vote.

Let's find out.

Welcome, Jun.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Nathan.

Thank you, Jun.

You can rejoin the others in the living room.

And send in Erika.

OK.

[music playing]

Hey, Erika?

You're up.

Erika has been in an alliance with both Jack and Nathan,

but, in the past, she voted against Jack

in order to save David.

What will she do tonight?

Hi, Erika.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict now.

I vote to evict Nathan.

Thank you, Erika.

And you can rejoin the others.

[music playing]

The votes are in and the verdict is clear.

It's time to let the house guests

know the results of their voting.

House guests, I have the final vote.

When I reveal the name, the evicted house guest

will have one minute to say goodbye,

gather their belongings, and walk out the front door.

By a vote of five to zero, Nathan,

you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

Hey, buddy, I'm sorry.

It's all right.

Good luck.

Give me a call, OK?

All right.

I'll see you--

I'm sure-- in a few weeks.

I'll see you soon.

I tried.

Be well.

I'll see you soon, all right?

All right.

Later, bro.

See you.

See you later, man.

Well, good luck to you.

Thank you, sweetie.

Bye.

You guys, enjoy.

Nate, have fun out there.

We're thinking of you, Nathan.

All right, man.

We'll miss you.

Bye, Nathan.

[music playing]

In here?

- Hey, Nathan. - Hey, how's it going?

How are you?

You could put your bag down anywhere, on the floor.

Welcome to the studio. - Thanks.

- Nice to meet you in person. - Nice to meet you.

Make yourself comfortable and have a seat.

All right.

[music playing]

I didn't [inaudible].

You should, though.

It'll be all right.

You're playing OK.

You all right?

Yeah.

I'm just-- [inaudible].

I know, I know.

You all right, girl?

Mm, hm.

Hm?

Yeah.

You all right, Erika?

Mm, hm.

Well, Nathan, how are you doing right now?

I'm hanging in there.

It's-- it's quite the experience.

You know, I was hoping to meet with you later on in the game,

but, you know, I made a run at it.

And, you know, no regrets.

And I'm happy.

Again, it was a five to zero vote.

Not even Alison gave you a sympathy vote.

Yeah.

Instead she put the final nail in your coffin.

How do you feel about her now?

You know, honestly, with Ali, I know she's a smart player

and I felt like, you know, she's going to go with the majority,

just to better herself in the game.

And-- and I understand that.

And, you know, there's no hard feelings toward--

toward her decision.

So you're saying you can respect the way

she's playing the game then?

I can respect to the way.

You know, like I said, there's no regrets.

You know, disappointed--

I'm disappointed in her for this decision.

She put me in-- you know, the kind

of predicament that I was in.

But, you know, she's playing a great game.

And like I said, this is a game.

You can't take it personally and I don't, so--

Do you plan on being friends with her outside the house?

Yeah.

You know what?

I don't know if we'll--

if I'll make a trip to Pennsylvania or whatever,

but I definitely will stay in touch and email or whatever.

The last three days, we saw you campaigning

hard to stay in that house.

You made all sorts of deals.

Yeah.

You were relentless.

It was a good try.

Would you have honored any of those deals you made.

You know, I would have ran with those guys--

the three amigos-- for a little while.

Just-- my whole emphasis behind that was I

was hoping that maybe Erika or Ali would win the HOH and kind

of put me in a situation where I didn't have to, you know,

vote them out or vote against Erika.

So my whole plan was just to get by this week, you know,

and we'd go from there.

But, you know, I wanted to leave the house

as a trustworthy person.

And I think I did that to the extent.

What's the most important thing you learned in the house?

Wow.

Not to trust Alison.

No, other than that.

You know, I think the most important thing in the house

is definitely do not burn your bridges,

because it's going to come back and haunt you in the end.

And I tried not to do that.

And, you know, I was unfortunate in the end.

Well, you made it days.

You left quite an impression on your fellow housemates

and they each taped a special message

for you in the event you were sitting here with me tonight.

So let's hear what they have to say, right over here.

Nathan, I guess, you know, the house decided it's time to go.

You are my eye candy in the house

and I will be sorry to see your golden locks and good looks go.

Your proposal the other night on, you

know, staying in the house was very attractive

and that I really, really wanted to do it.

But, at the same time, I'm one of four right now

and they weren't convinced.

You know, we had a lot of fun together.

You know, like just always cracking jokes at each other.

However, you know, those g*y jokes weren't really too funny,

but I know--

I know you're secure of your manhood.

So am I.

You have been a strong and competitive player--

very focused.

You have my friendship, admiration, and respect.

Nathan, I want to thank you for saving me.

And I feel very responsible for you being on the outside,

looking in right now.

Even though I never really got to tell you how handsome you

were in the house, because I thought it would give you

an ego trip, you are one of the most beautiful men I have

ever met in my entire life.

And I will miss you.

Final thoughts?

Wow.

Final thoughts is no regrets, and I made a run at it,

and I fell short.

But I had a great time.

Well, it's not over yet, because you

are the second member of the jury of seven

who will vote on who wins "Big Brother ".

You will now join Dana at the sequester house

and we'll bring you all back in September for finale night.

OK.

- And we see who wins. - All right.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot, Nathan.

When we return, the next, live, Head of Household competition.

[music playing]

Welcome back to "Big Brother ".

The Three Stooges have been savoring their power this week.

The last three evicted were all members of

the original alliance of eight.

So tonight's Head of Household may be the most critical yet.

How badly do the remaining house guests want the power?

Let's find out.

House guests, the power is up for grabs.

Justin, as outgoing Head of Household,

you are not allowed to compete.

The first thing I'd like all of you to do

is head to the backyard.

[music playing]

Oh, boy.

Bring your shirt, if you want.

Oh, wow.

Oh my god.

We're going to cage dance.

Oh, God.

What is this?

We're going to cage dance.

Everybody gives me a lap dance.

Oh, yeah.

JULIE: Tonight's HOH competition is called Steel Cage Match.

How much do each of you want to be HOH?

We're about to find out.

I'd like everyone except Justin to enter

the largest of the three cages and face outward.

Justin, please open the door and let them in.

And you can help your house guests inside, if they need it.

[music playing]

Ladies first.

JULIE: And don't forget to face outward, please, everyone.

Be careful.

I think you can step on that.

Oh, I don't know.

JULIE: No, you can not go all the way down to the ground.

OK.

Those lights are hot.

Do you want me to lock them in, Julie?

JULIE: Once they're all in, I would like you to lock them in,

please. [laughing]

Happily.

Whoa, this is kind of--

whoa.

Face outwards.

Face that way.

JULIE: Thank you, Jun.

This is very tiny.

JULIE: And Justin, you can take your seat.

Thank you, Justin.

Oh, I feel like I'm just--

JULIE: All right, house guests.

You are securely closed in.

It looks like a pretty tight fit in there.

Yeah.

I hope you're all comfortable.

The objective of Steel Cage Match

is to work your way through all three cages,

but here's the catch--

each cage is smaller than the last.

The second cage can only hold four people,

and the third cage can only hold two.

In order for the group to advance, two of you

must leave each cage.

Jun, I need you to face outward.

Thank you.

Now when the final two players reach the third and last cage,

the winner will be the person who stays in the longest.

There will be no eating, no drinking, and no sleeping.

If your feet touch the ground beneath the cage,

you're disqualified.

[laughing]

Again, I hope everyone's comfortable,

because it looks like you may be in for a long night.

- Oh! - Oh, man!

JULIE: Good luck, everybody!

I should have went to the restroom.

So how do you--

So when do we get to advance?

Do we get to move now?

We don't move until people fall out.

People have to leave.

- People have to leave. - Oh!

- Is that right? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - OK.

Are you kidding me?

So you guys are going to be chilling.

Can I go get a--

I should have went to the restroom.

It's hot.

These lights are hot. - I hate this.

sh**t, I should have went to the restroom.

We'll be right back to see how they're holding up.

Stay with us.

You guys are-- oh, man!

I can't raise up.

Mommy!

[music playing]
