[bunniefuu]

PHIL PROCTOR: Previously on "Big Brother ," Natalie and Michael

were nominated for eviction.

PHIL PROCTOR: Michael felt betrayed

by his half sister, Nikomas.

So we gave each other our word that we

wouldn't put each other up.

PHIL PROCTOR: While Natalie campaigned for votes.

Think about who has your back, really.

Right.

PHIL PROCTOR: Drew was swayed by Natalie's logic.

[WHISPERS]

Obviously the twins have gotten to you.

PHIL PROCTOR: But when the vote was announced--

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

PHIL PROCTOR: --Drew had voted with the majority.

I vote to evict Natalie.

God bless you all.

PHIL PROCTOR: And in the Head of household.

Competition, the houseguests were

one stroke away from power.

JULIE [VOICEOVER]: Congratulations, Marvin.

You are the new Head of Household

PHIL PROCTOR: Which two houseguests will

Marvin nominate for eviction?

And who will win the Power of Veto?

And will they use it?

Find out tonight, on "Big Brother ."

[dramatic theme music]

JULIE: By a vote of four to one, Natalie,

you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

I love you, girl.

Bye.

The mood in the house this week

was very different than when Will left last week.

Everybody was ready for Natalie to go,

because Natalie's too strong a competitor.

And they're just glad for her to get out the door.

I was hoping for a vote of four to one

to get Natalie out of the house.

It makes me really happy.

And it makes me, you know, trust the housemates a little bit

more.

[dramatic music]

Your family is the most important thing.

And I just treasurer that.

I was just so thankful that she was

really my friend in the house.

And how she stayed committed to me.

[dramatic music]

It's a damn shame her twin sister's still in the house.

Or else I would have been throwing the party right now.

I do feel sorry for Will.

Oh my god.

I know Will is in this jury sequester right now.

And when Natalie walks through that door

and greets Will at that house?

Oh, it's going to be ugly.

[dramatic music]

I feel bad that you know, something that's

very very, special between two people

is the reason I had to vote one of the girls out.

There was a little tear shed yes, for Natalie.

I did lose a sister, a friend.

When somebody leaves, that means pat yourself on the back,

congratulate yourself and stuff, because you

made it another week.

You hate to see somebody go, but you love to see somebody go.

JULIE: Two seconds left.

One, zero.

[groans]

Congratulations, Marvin.

You are the new Head of Household.

Nakomis, please hand over the HOH key to Marvin.

I am the new Head of Household.

And I am so proud of that.

Around here, when an HOH is on immunity for a week.

And that's really and truly how I look at it.

I don't know that I wanted to win this HOH competition.

I almost feel like it's better for me

to kind of be behind the scenes right now.

Cowboy, you know I love you, boy.

Marvin may have put me up this week.

I'm not safe.

I am worried.

You know, Marvin is a wildcard in this game.

There's no telling what he's thinking.

You better have some good music this time.

Because if you got Van Halen-- - Dr. Dre!

Dr. Dre!

Don't give me no Van Halen!

I'm telling you now.

I do feel pretty safe.

Not too, too worried.

But anytime you don't know what's going on in this game,

you can't feel completely sound.

Woo!

[laughter]

Woo!

Now I'm kind of scared.

Because Marvin might be the kind of guy

that just because I haven't been up on the block yet,

he might hold that against me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Woo!

I think Marvin will see me maybe

not as strong of a threat.

Because my committed partner is not here right now.

And so therefore, I feel like yes,

he would probably direct his attention

to other committed partners, like Diane and Drew, maybe.

Oh no.

Let's do it, Cowboy.

- Oh no. - No.

He's not. You are not.

Oh no!

There it is!

Oh whoa!

Ah!

Whoa!

Damn!

After a while, everybody's close friends.

It really ain't nothing personal at this point.

It's all a game now.

It's all about getting to have me as HOH, that's how it is.

Say my goodbyes before I get put up, guys.

Yeah.

I have a bad feeling.

Just a funny funny.

Oh yeah, just a funny feeling.

Marvin's smart.

What can he do to do the most damage?

To do the most damage?

Or to make the smartest move?

We know that he may make some decisions on personal things.

Yeah.

So for any reason, that'd be the case.

You never know, you might get rid of Cowboy.

Cowboy and Adria on the block would be great.

Yeah, but you know that's not going to happen.

I don't know what it is, but him and Adria have something,

I think.

I'm afraid he'll put up me and Drew.

Most damage, you and.

Drew best option, maybe me and you.

Diane pretty much controls Drew's vote.

And her decision controls what Karen's going to do.

It would be a good move for Marvin to put me

and Diane up on the block, for the fact

of getting out one of the people that

can sway votes in the house.

Has he said who feels intimidated by?

Intimidated?

No.

But he's made comments about who he'd put on the block weeks

ago.

Who?

Karen and Cowboy.

It's always been that way for him.

Really?

But he only said because Karen got on his nerves.

But now, Karen and him are like, tight.

Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

Fellow houseguests, please join me.

My new HOH suite is awaiting.

Somebody scream!

Anybody!

[cheering]

Oh, let's start--

See what you got.

Oh yeah, it's open.

Oh!

Oh!

Ah!

All right!

Go to the CD! - I got so much food.

Oh yeah, for real.

Oh Yeah, you got-- whoa.

What is it?

Yes!

"!" Prince!

The double disc! - Yeah!

All right!

Good!

You know I'm really not a jealous person.

But in this case, Marvin has had you know, HOH twice.

And in a way, I would love to beat Marvin,

so I would be able to show pictures of April and Jase.

My brother knew how to hook me up.

So he got peanuts, got me Red Bull, Baken-Ets, Hot 'N Spicy.

Oh, you got the old ginger ale again.

Yeah.

It's like our eighth week in the "Big Brother"

house seeing HOH rooms.

I don't care anymore.

I really don't.

Unless it's me and my room and my letter and my pictures.

Who's it from?

It's from-- it is from my brother, mom, and the g*ng.

I'm here and win HOH and get on "Young and the Restless"

in the same week?

And then get the Prince Album, ","

I am just sitting on top of the world.

Thank you for coming and sharing it with me.

Everybody's welcome to the CD, when I've finished with it.

Oh, thank you, thank God.

Dude, it's on.

What's up?

[music playing]

You're safe on this week.

I just want your assurance that if you win HOH next week

I get a pass.

Because I like you. I really do.

I'll put you--

I'm not trying to make this a personal thing.

And-- but I like the way you play the game,

and you're hardcore.

You really are.

I've played my cards pretty close to the vest

playing this game.

And nobody really knows what I'm thinking.

When you get down to the final six, final seven players,

you got to flip some cards over.

You've got to show your hand.

Diane, I would rank her as one of the most

powerful players in the house.

You're the only person in this house that tells me

my bad attitude isn't so bad.

You'll always be safe in my book.

I promise you.

Now, I don't need your help this week.

I need your help next week. - I promise you--

Because I can't win HOH.

You promise me that.

I promise you.

OK.

I'll put my life on it.

I'm just asking for that one week.

I'd love to see you standing next to me

at the end of this game.

Oh--

If-- if I could get that far.

Oh, I would too.

Because I think you deserve it, and I think that I deserve

for what we've been through.

And I would love to go head to head with you in the end,

and let the chips fall.

Marvin and I looking out for each other

through this game like this does change my strategy

in the game a little bit.

I know Nakomis and Karen support me.

I know Drew supports me.

And now I've got Marvin supporting me.

So now if I could get Adria and Cowboy out of this house,

then I'm on everybody's side here.

I need your help in the game.

And I want you to--

You tell me what you want to do.

And I've got a lot of power out--

I know. I know you do.

Some power over some people.

I'm just saying, you protect me, I'll protect you.

And I'ma try to make sure I'll--

I'll protect you.

[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

So how many piercings do you have all together?

, , , , , , , , , , , , , .

all together.

Wow.

I like small doses of pain.

piercings.

And I'm just thinking, wow, you've

got to have them all over the place,

in spots that I don't even want to know about.

I go to fetish ba*ls, guys.

You go to fetish ba*ls?

It's like, where people walk around

with nipple clamps on their n*pples

and like, ask you to spank them.

Really?

You really go to them or you just making it up?

Yeah. I-- I've gone to like, two.

They're fun.

What's that like?

There's people in like, six-inch heels,

and people will like--

That's kind of hot--

Dressed up and doing the dom thing.

And--

Really?

I was like, I want to be a dominatrix when I grow up.

A dominatrix

Nakomis, is-- she's a lot different than I am.

I just kind of open my mind up to her different kind

of lifestyle.

And I mean, I'm impressed but at the same time,

I'm like, wow, you're-- you've done

some crazy stuff in your life.

Usually a dom is like, a call girl that you order up.

And she ties you up, she blindfolds you

and she beats the crap out of you.

Nikomis's wild stories to me, says that maybe she's

a little bit of a sex freak.

She's a sexpert.

If you have any questions, just ask Nik.

They get sexual pleasure from the beating.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Wow.

Oh.

Whoa.

[rock music]

Wow.

Wow.

We had a luxury competition.

We won so much gym equipment that they couldn't even

fit it in the yard.

What "Big Brother" did was converted the concrete slab

room into a gym.

This is a cool gym.

So I love it.

Ooh, the got a lat machine.

The new indoor gym we got is awesome.

But I am so upset.

Because I had my own little personal trailer,

my own little solitude.

So I don't know where I'm going to sleep after I'm out the HOH.

That's what I'm talking about.

This is awesome.

Wow.

[dramatic music]

One of my duties as a Head of Household

was to nominate two people for eviction.

What I'm doing right now is planning for next week.

All types of consequences will unfold

if so-and-so is put on the block And then they get off.

I absolutely think that I AMA big target.

I had put him up in the past when I was HOH,

and that could be something that he's holding against me.

Marvin's kind of a wildcard.

So you know, no one in the house is

really sure on what Marvin is going

to be doing for nominations.

My goal is to survive one week at a time.

Is there a chance that my key won't be in that box?

Absolutely.

I feel nervous about Marvin, because I feel like I don't

know what Marvin is thinking.

Even though I'm HOH, I really don't have an alliance.

If I could guarantee some people,

in an alliance, their safety, maybe I could buy

myself another week in a house.

Marvin told me that I was safe,

and that he wasn't going to put me up.

So I'm-- I'm hoping Marvin's telling the truth and that

he's going to roll with it.

I will probably never feel completely safe with Marvin.

I know that there is always going to be

a possibility that I can go up.

I brainstorm a lot.

And the decisions I make, I don't want to second

guess them.

So I want to make sure it's a decision that will stand

up under the test of pressure.

Ready.

It's time for the nomination ceremony.

Everybody please come and gather round the lazy Susan.

[suspenseful music]

Of course, we're deep in the game now.

We all like everybody.

Everybody been living together for two months.

This is not a personal attack on anybody's

character, anything like that.

This is not a speech for flower and candy and roses.

Everybody want to have a million dollars.

And somebody's got to leave.

With that being said, I will announce

the first person who is safe.

Karen, you are safe this week.

Thank you, Marvin.

Jennifer, Nikomis, you are safe.

[suspenseful music]

Diane, you are safe.

[suspenseful music]

Drew.

I nominated Adria.

And I nominated Michael, Cowboy.

Adria, I nominated you because you've been

a formidable foe in this house.

You've won three out of four on competitions.

You've won physical competitions and mental competitions.

And you've had it a little easier than the rest

I was in the house because you did have your twin here.

I really respect you.

And that's why I'm giving you the shot to take yourself

off the chopping block through Veto, because I

respect you as a person.

So I hope you take that for what it's worth.

Cowboy, me and you best boys, all that.

I know that's your girl.

You've got to look out for her.

And is this a strategic move I'm making.

Because I know you would have to help her out.

I you would have to vote for her.

You know what I'm saying?

I love you like a cousin.

You still my boy.

Good luck to both of you.

Thank you.

With that being said, I call this ceremony to a close.

[suspenseful music]

I nominated Adria.

And I nominated Cowboy.

[dramatic music]

Hey, what's up?

I just want to let you know, you know

it wasn't you I was talking to. - Yeah, I know.

You know the deal.

I gave you the wink before that this time.

I saw you.

- So you straight, all right? - OK.

And I'm protecting you with these other people, you know?

- I appreciate that. - Because I--

I know you love Adria.

And Adria loves you.

I think he knew that it was just a business

and a strategic decision.

I knew he would be in a precarious situation

if he wasn't nominated, because she

would pick him for the veto.

So that's why I had to do it, really and truly.

Will has been one of my good friends in this house.

Right.

And I hate it, being on the block with him.

But I kind of promised him.

Have I went there?

I made sure the alliances are there.

I have a new mission in this game.

Yeah?

It's to get those two b*tches out of here.

There you go.

So I'm just letting you know, I'm doing everything

I can do to protect you.

And I'm trying to do all I can to keep you in the house.

- Same. - All right?

It's still a scary feeling, being up on the block.

Even if people says you're safe.

The reason why you're here is that way

you can't work towards saving Adria in any fashion.

That's what Marvin said.

Well, I know.

Michael, I'm not-- in your famous words, I'm not stupid.

The bottom line is, is that you know,

I still have a chance tomorrow.

And that's what I'll do.

And I'll play the game straight out, and with integrity

like I've played from the very beginning.

Right.

And you know, that's all I can do.

This week's video is a one in six chance for me to survive.

I'm all I've got.

I appreciate you just being my friend, no matter what.

And I'm sorry that I put you there beside me.

But at least I got somebody there beside me.

Both of our lives is on the line this week.

And I'm going to fight for that veto as much as she is.

[dramatic music]

It's more I don't know about even

who I would ask to play veto.

And I'd like-- if-- if I asked you to play veto,

would you want to play it?

I'll play, but I've kind of been on losing streak.

Well, that's not the point.

[laughs]

You know-- I don't know-- you don't

know what the game could be. - Yeah, I'll play.

If you want the power of veto, would you be--

would you use it?

I don't know.

If I asked you to play for me?

Would you want me to use it?

Yeah.

Honestly, I'd be a little scared to use it.

[sighs]

If I were to use the veto to take Adria down, ooh--

bad for me, right here.

Honestly, I was sitting there today, thinking I was going up.

Oh Karen.

He put me up.

Week two.

- That was week two. - So?

Week two, baby.

A lot's gone on since then.

A lot.

Karen is like, oh god, I'm scared.

I'm scared.

But I am a strong player.

That could be a tool that Karen could see as an asset and use--

utilize for next week, if I'm still here.

[dramatic music]

You're lucky your a*s ain't on the block today because of me.

You really think so?

Yes.

You're working Marvin kinda, is that what you're saying?

I don't have to.

It's already worked.

I guaranteed him his safety, as long as he wouldn't put

me, you, Karen or Nikomis up.

So if any of us get Head of Household next-- next week,

we cannot put him up.

I-- I promised him I wouldn't say

anything to the three of you.

You know?

Right.

Remember what we said in the very beginning about Marvin?

I know.

Marvin sways with the wind.

Yeah, he does.

And right now it's our wind.

Because Marvin's smart.

Yeah, he's really bright.

Next week--

Right.

Marvin can't go up.

Why?

Because it sounds like Diane made a deal with Marvin.

Speaking for everybody?

That's not too cool.

She didn't need to do that.

He's the risk.

I don't know, dude.

That's bad.

Dude, that's bad.

I'm going to say exactly what she said.

Because if she did make a promise,

then I'm going to have to stick with it.

It's kind of unfair.

And if she did, then I'm going to be like, Diane--

What if it's not a promise you wanted to make though,

you know what I mean?

That's like-- that could put you in jeopardy

in a couple of weeks.

Oh god, she gets dangerous.

She's playing with fire, Nik.

[upbeat electronic music]

"Big Brother" has a surprise for everyone.

Surprise!

Are you excited?

Yeah!

Come on!

It is a glorious surprise for all.

Ooh, do you know what it is?

No.

So on the TV?

All right.

Here we go.

Here we go.

PHIL PROCTOR: Who would you like to see win a T-Mobile phone

call from home? - Yeah!

Cool.

Oh wow.

When I saw that there was a chance

for me to win a phone call from home,

I almost started breaking down.

I really miss April and Chase so much.

Because I got--

I already got a lot of wins, so I hope you win this.

It is so important, after being in the house this long, to get

some contact from the family.

Because it's tough.

It really is tough.

A phone call from home would mean, you know,

that's enough to just keep you through another week,

get you through another day.

Who would call you, Drew?

Oh my brother, for sure.

A phone call would definitely give me my second wind

here in the house.

I would definitely love to talk to my twin brother, Ben.

It's like, I would have to talk to April and Chase both.

And I would have to do it without crying.

[laughs]

I don't know if I could do it without crying.

- Yeah. - I wouldn't be sad.

Mine would be tears of joy. - That's different.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's how I would feel, probably.

The phone call from home is absolutely

one of the most amazing gifts that "Big

Brother" has offered us.

And I've got butterflies just thinking about if-- if I was

to get the phone call from--

from Lenny.

If-- if Lenny's the story-- if I heard his voice,

he started talking to me, I'd be like, I know!

[laughs]

If I sit there, hearing his voice, I'd die.

I'd fall out.

[dramatic music]

[phone ringtone chiming]

Phone's ringing.

Are you kidding me?

Phone's ringing.

Phone's ringing!

Phone's ringing!

Phone's ringing!

Oh my goodness!

Get it! Get it!

Get! Get it!

Get the green button.

Hello?

Phone's ringing!

No, but hold on. One second.

This is Drew.

Who is it?

Michael!

Oh!

Hello?

Hi.

It's me, how're you?

Hey.

Wonderful, you?

Yeah, we're doing good.

Good.

We miss you.

Same here.

So what's-- how's everything going?

Everything's good.

I got the job.

Good.

And Chase got the teacher we wanted.

And we're doing soccer.

I'm coaching his team this time.

And we're just watching you.

Good, I love you.

We love you and we want you to win this thing and come home.

So I got somebody here that wants to talk to you.

OK, I love you, baby.

OK.

Hello?

Hey.

Hello?

Hey, little bit.

I miss you so much.

You growing?

Yes.

That's OK, I'm sorry.

And you taking care of mama?

I'm sorry I made you cry.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, everything's cool.

How are you liking seeing me on TV?

It's OK.

Ask him who his favorite is.

So Marvin wants to know who's your favorite?

You, 'cause you're my dad.

It's me because I'm his dad.

[sighs]

Everyone's going to say hi, OK?

Say hi.

Happy birthday!

Hey!

OK, let me talk to mama real quick.

And I love you so much, and I'll be home before you know it, OK?

OK.

I love you, baby.

I love you too.

OK, take care of mama.

Give her big kisses and hugs.

Hi.

You still want to marry me?

Yes.

Good.

I want you to come home so I can.

I know.

I know.

If don't even know if I can wait till December.

I'm going to kiss you and then I won't let go of you, I promise.

- You promise. - I promise.

OK.

I miss you so much.

But you're going to be all right.

We talked about this.

I know.

And you play it, and you win it, OK?

OK.

So what does your dad think about the show?

He said to tell you that if you don't stop the crying,

he's going to put his boot up your butt.

[laughs]

Oh sh**t.

'Cause really bullriders don't cry that much.

You just play it to win it.

- Thank you, baby. - OK.

And we love you.

Same here.

Hung up.

Oh.

- Congratulations. - That's unreal.

That's awesome, dawg.

Just to hear her voice.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

thank y'all, for being supportive.

Everybody wants you to get this Cowboy, because just woo--

Just to hear her voice, just to hear that she got that job,

everybody was fine.

Well, seeing Michael get upset was really heartwarming for me.

Because I know those are tears of joy.

Just to hear that was remarkable.

To see Cowboy breaking down, I--

I'll be honest, I had a couple of tears of joy too,

in my eyes.

And I was just so excited for

[sighs]

This is why I'm doing it, for them, you know?

And it's just remarkable.

Congratulations.

Thank y'all.

I'm so happy for you.

Thank you.

I especially want to thank America.

Thank you so much.

I get the opportunity to talk to my wonderful family.

I do want to win that $, for my family.

I'm going to win that money and take it home to them.

[patriotic music]

The Veto competition is about to come up

and I'm looking for a teammate.

You can either do things, or you can just sit back and wait.

I appreciate your honesty, saying that you don't know

if you would use it or not.

I just would hope that you would try.

Oh, I would try.

But I'm saying that if I were to win it, I don't know--

I don't know if I would be able to use it.

Honestly, I'm a little-- little scared.

But if you use it or not to be in the power of Veto,

he can't put you up.

Being scared like that is what's going to get her

kicked out next week.

Because that makes her expendable.

You've got your support from the people

that you trust in this house.

I mean, why-- why would they put you up?

I told you last week, I know I'd be alone.

All I'm saying is I haven't won much.

I will not throw this competition.

But I've been on a losing streak.

When you decide to choose your partner,

there's six people competing.

And with me being such a chronic loser,

it's more like and /.

I'm not saying I'd throw it, but I'm saying we're

only and / with me around.

I'll take a half.

You know what I'm saying?

With Karen not being as strong of a player in the skill games,

that would increase my chances of winning the veto.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Maybe I'll get surprised.

That would be actually nice.

[suspenseful music]

Please gather in the living room.

It's time to select players for the Veto competition.

[rock music]

Nominees, please join me.

Cowboy, Adria.

As HOH, I will pick my player first.

I'm going to pick pretty boy from the Buckeye state, Mr.

Drew.

Come on up here and join me, buddy.

I picked a good friend, Drew, to be my partner.

It was just because if he did win,

I wanted him to be on my side.

Because I knew Adria would pick him.

I am going to pick my sister to help me.

Cool beans.

All right.

Hopefully if she won to gong veto, she would take me off.

Karen, if you wouldn't mind?

I will officially play in the veto competition.

[laughter]

And I had at least a half a chance

with Karen from my conversation with Karen.

So I figured I would definitely pick Karen over Diane.

OK, we also need to pick some money to host

this evening's festivities.

All right, everybody, come get your clothing.

Michael's is res.

That's pretty cool.

Red?

I don't look good in red.

It's a garbage man outfit.

I felt like I had escaped from jail,

with my bright orange suit on.

Need my profile shot and a number, then I'd be good to go.

Oh, this is cool.

[rock music]

Step into the yard and what better

to see than giant ice cubes on little platforms and stuff.

Oh, cool.

[laughter]

"All right houseguests, if you don't want to be left

in the cold, you need to prove you're a chip off the old block

in [SINGING] 'Ice Ice Veto."

[cheering]

"Frozen inside the center of each block of ice

is a veto medallion.

The first houseguest to break the veto medallion free

and hit the buzzer wins the veto.

However, you only have use of the water g*n beside you.

But wait.

There's a twist. - No!

- No! - No!

No!

"Frozen inside of each block of ice

is the letter T. That T stands for toolbox."

Oh!

"If you release the T, bring it to me,

and I'll trade you that T for one

of these toolboxes, which contains many items which

will aid in your progress."

All right!

"Once you have released the veto medallion,

the first player to run over to the buzzer and hit the button

will win this week's Power of Veto.

[cheering]

The veto is the golden apple.

I mean, it's-- it's the thing I've got to go after,

more so than ever.

It's my only chance of survival right now.

Are you ready to play "Ice, Ice Veto?"

[cheering]

- Woo! - Yeah!

- On your mark! - Bring it on!

Get set!

Go!

Ah!

Since I had a partner in this competition,

I told Drew to go for the T. That was

the block of ice on the top.

I said I, in turn, will go for that Veto.

My strategy was to just melt the ice.

Nikomis, looking good.

Making a dent.

Making a dent.

Water ran out.

So I was kind of using my mind a little bit.

So I just started beating on the ice.

Everybody realized hey, let's use the pool for the water.

Then once they noticed that, everybody ran

back and forth to get water.

Guys got to whack harder than that.

Well?

I'm going to break my g*n here.

Don't break it.

I did target in on the T. And I was just

pumping more water pressure.

I thought would definitely help me out there.

Some people in the game are not

exactly operating with a full deck, namely Drew and Cowboy.

After they ran out of water in their p*stol,

instead of running to the pool, they just

thought they would beat this solid block of ice

with a flimsy plastic water p*stol.

My strategy was that I thought it might take me

longer to get to the T than it would

for me to get to the Veto.

I felt like I could get to that T

pretty fast, compared to where my Veto was sitting.

And it is looking good.

Almost got that T, people.

I was like, rrrgh!

I just wanted to just rip it out of there.

That was pretty frustrating.

Let's go, Karen.

nice strategy.

All right, we got a T coming out.

Adria was the only one that we really didn't want to win.

When I saw Adria making progress,

that's what kind of put me in use-it-or-lose-it mode.

And I really started going hard.

That's funny.

[suspenseful music]

All right, we have a T!

We have a T!

When I had the T in my hand, I thought

OK yes, I almost got it.

And then open up my toolbox, and

there was just a salt shaker, some hand

warmers and some alcohol.

And I thought well, salt melts ice.

And so I dumped the salt on the ice block.

I thought gee, I got little girly hands.

Maybe I can like, muscle my way in and try

to snag the veto that way.

So I made myself a little opening, just

big enough to get my hand in.

I got it!

yeah!

Woo!

Woo!

Woo!

It did work out for me.

And I got lucky.

I guess, you know, being a chick with little hands.

You know, somebody like Marvin, it wouldn't

have been a good strategy for.

Woo!

Look at these big old Shaquille O'Neal hands I got.

Ain't no way in the world I could have got

my hands wedged between there.

Come here, my darling Karen.

Woo!

Yea!

[applause]

Hey!

Hey!

There you go.

There she go.

I am the ice raider!

I think now people are going to consider me less of a loser

and more of a team player.

I knew my time would come.

You got it just once, Karen.

There you go. There you go, Karen.

- Hey, good. - Woo!

You're no longer a loser.

Yea!

This will send the last proverbial nail in the coffin

of the evil Alabama twins.

Nice work on the T, AJ.

Well, that's that.

We'll just kind of see what happens.

I'm definitely going to be talking with Karen.

And I feel that the entire house will.

[dramatic music]

Are you asleep?

just hanging out?

So you know I said-- you said I had a in and / chance?

Yeah.

Is that half still there?

What are you really dealing with?

Because I'm just curious.

I'd rather at least kind of have an idea, I guess, in the sense

that maybe I could help you think about some things,

or look at some other options.

There's two people on the block

right now I have nothing against.

You know, there's other people in the house that would

probably replace those two people on the block,

that I probably have nothing against.

And the whole predicament for me is just--

leaves me-- it leaves my gut saying

just leave well enough alone.

And you know, let the house make its decision.

But you already know the house's decision.

Yeah, I know.

But I don't.

Because I haven't been there.

I haven't like, you know what I mean, made--

made-- made a choice to say, put up x and y,

or what would the ramifications be

for me as an individual player, should I overthrow it?

What-- what gives you so much confidence in the people today,

as to where they'll be next week if you don't get HOH?

I don't know.

The only thing I can do is just believe in my own self.

I need somebody to step up to the plate.

And if Karen does save me, she's got a good player.

One that's going to stay to her word,

that's going to be there for her.

There's not any other player in the house

that you'd want to see on the block

instead of myself and Cowboy?

I don't-- I really don't want to see anybody on the block.

Nobody's done anything wrong to me.

And they may not.

So would you say then right now,

you're not going to use it?

I don't know.

[suspenseful music]

This Veto decision is the worst.

All I can do is follow my instincts,

and hope for the best, and hope that everybody

understands why I do what I do.

[suspenseful music]

Hey.

It's time for the Veto meeting.

If Karen uses the Veto on me, then

she knows that I'm going to be a person that holds to my word.

And she knows that I'm a strong player.

When it comes down to Nikomis and Diane,

they'll take Karen out in a heartbeat.

[sighs]

If the golden veto is used, yes, I'm very worried that

would be the one to go.

Unless they decide to take me off the block

and put a pretty boy Drew up on the block.

Houseguests, this is the Veto meeting.

Adria and Michael have been nominated for eviction

I hold the power of Veto, and I hold the power to remove

one of you from the block.

And at this time, I would like to give each of you

a chance to tell everybody here and myself

why you feel I should use the Power of Veto on you.

So Adria?

Well, being here on the block is

just another piece of the game.

I have had some very interesting commitments in this house.

Some people choose not to follow their commitments.

And I do want the Power of Veto.

I would love to have it used on me.

I feel like there is many chances

for both myself or for Michael.

He doesn't deserve to be here because he's

been a friend to me.

And so I would just like to see the Power

of Veto being used today.

Karen, you won the golden veto, fair and square,

and I respect that.

So whatever decision you make, to use it or not,

I'll respect that today.

In the words of Martin, give me the veto.

Give me the veto.

[laughter]

Cowboy veto dance.

Holding the veto on my own for the first time,

having won something, kind of lets

me become aware of the serious nature of having anything that

is the key to anybody's fate.

I, as a person, do not feel comfortable

choosing one of you over the other to come off the block.

At this point in time, I decide to respect

the nominations granted by our HOH, Marvin

and not use the veto.

So with that said, the Veto meeting is closed.

[suspenseful music]

To be put up for eviction, it's very tough.

It really is.

Especially when you're up against a friend or sister.

Right now, I'm more or less-- am on my own.

There could be a chance that I could leave this house.

Michael kind of made a joke out of the situation,

because he feels very confident.

And when Cowboy feels confident, he becomes c*ck.

And in this game, anything can come back and get you.

If the power's in my hands this week,

Adria would not be the one to leave.

Marvin is just out to get both the twins out of this game.

But I think Martin might have it coming for himself next week.

I'm blown away.

I'm extremely competitive.

I mean, I can take hits.

If I have to sit up there on that block every week,

then so be it.

Alliances can shift.

I'm looking for a teammate.

PHIL PROCTOR: Who will be evicted next

from the "Big Brother" house?

Adria or Michael?

And who will become the next Head of Household?
