Post by bunniefuu »

Julie: tonight, it's the

Battle of the season.

For the first time in "big

Brother" history, two

Evicted houseguests will

Face off live.

The winner returns to the

House and gets back in the

Game.

Welcome to "big brother."

[ Cheers and applause ]

Previously on "big

Brother": julie revealed a

Twist that shocked the

House.

Julie: the next houseguest

To be evicted will have a chance

To get back in the game.

Announcer: head of

Household kalia set her sights

On getting rachel evict.

I immediately put up rachel

And jeff, I can tell jeff he's

Not my target.

Announcer: but she needed

Jeff to be's pawn.

I need someone who can win.

And make sure she goes home.

Announcer: and he didn't

Take the news well.

I'll tell you one thing I'm

Winning the [ bleep ] veto and

I'm taking miles off.

Announcer: kalia stuck to

Her g*ns.

Jeff, rachel, I have

Nominatedly the two of you for

Eviction.

Announcer: at the veto

Competition, jeff went on a

Roll.

Jeff, you have won the power

Of veto.

Announcer: with jeff back

In the game, kalia tried to mend

Fences.

I'm never going to put her

Up.

And I will not go against that.

Announcer: and after rachel

Warned of vengeance--

With me on your side, could

Be a great advantage to you.

I agree.

If I come back in this

House--

You're going to come after

Me.

g*ns blazing.

Announcer: kalia pitched

The idea of keeping rachel safe.

If there are giant bull's

Eyes on our back and there's a

Way to get them off of us, why

Not try to take them?

Announcer: but daniele was

Not convince.

I do not want to work with

Her.

Think of them as not coming

After us.

Announcer: however, when

Lawon secretly volunteered to

Step up to the plate--

I'm okay with being evicted

Because I am think the twist.

I might come back with some

Special powers.

Announcer: kalia and

Daniele saw an interesting

Opportunity.

He literally just told us to

Let him go.

Does he realize that?

Best-case scenario, I cop a

Deal with rachel and vote to

Keep her in this house, which

Guarantees me a week's safety.

Announcer: at the veteee

Meeting.

I have decided to use the

Power of veto on myself.

Announcer: lawon's wish was

Granted.

I have decided to nominate

Lawon, babe.

It's your turn.

Announcer: who will be

Evicted from the "big brother"

House, lawon or rachel.

And for the first time ever,

Tonight's evictee will battle

One of the evicted houseguests

For a chance to return to the

Game.

It all happens right now on "big

Brother."

Did you good.

Julie: good evening.

I'm julie chen.

Welcome to "big brother."

It's day inside the "big

Brother" house, and the b*mb

Shell that tonight's evicted

Houseguest could be returning

Has caused some to rethink their

Strategies and others to put

Their game on the line.

As the first newbie to win head

Of household, kalia originally

Put jeff and rachel on the

Block, with the intention of

Sending rachel packing.

But when jeff won the power of

Veto, lawon, in an unprecedented

Move, asked to be put up as a

Replacement nominee so that he

Could be evicted.

His logic-- that the twist would

Return him to the game with a

Special power.

But what he doesn't know is that

There is no special power.

[ Laughter ]

I know.

And to get back in the game,

Tonight's evictee will have to

Battle it out with the evicted

Houseguest that you chose,

America.

The winner of that battle will

Be back in the game with the

Second shot at the half million

Dollar prize.

So who will be evicted, lawon or

Rachel?

And who will they face in

Tonight's live battle?

We'll soon find out.

But first, lawon's surprise

Nomination is set, and his

Eviction seems certain.

But one wrong move by either

Nominee could change everything.

I have decided to use the

Power of veto on myself.

Kalia, you have to choose a

Replacement nominee.

I have decided to nominate

Lawon, babe.

It's your turn.

This veto meeting is

Adjourned.

I told you to fight.

I cannot believe that kalia

Just put lawon on the block next

To me.

I don't even think he knew he

Was in the "big brother" house

Until today when he got

Nominated.

There's a chance rachel is still

Staying in this house.

This is a miracle.

You had to do what you had to

Do.

Lawon is on the block.

And I love it!

Love it!

If I do get voted out of the

House, I have a % chance of

Coming back into the game with

Super-powers.

So take note, america-- lawon

Made the boldest move that

Anyone could do in the "big

Brother" house.

Kalia nominated one of her

Own people?

Either she's very intelegent and

I can't figure out what's going

On, or she's so stupid and put

The numbers even more in our

Favor.

My vote goes for stupid.

After really weighing this

Twist, I realized that this week

May not be the best week to get

Rachel out of the house.

I need to have someone up on the

Block who can come back and not

Be gunning for me.

That I did not expect at all.

I want to play in this game.

I mean, I'm not stupid.

I know.

That I'm not.

I'm putting on my acting skills

Right now.

I want everybody to believe that

This was not planned, that me

And kalia are not as close as

They may think that we are.

"Big brother," get ready for the

Performance of a lifetime.

Are you pissed?

I'm piss disappointed

Because, you know, I didn't

Think I was going to be put up.

Right.

I wish I could punch a wall

Right now for real.

I would not volunteer.

I didn't say he volunteered,

So what's this new little piece

To the puzzle?

I know in my gut something's up.

Lawon!

Yes?

Better see some fire in you,

Man.

See you fired up.

Oh, I'm fired up.

Never saw that [ bleep ] coming.

I don't know why she put me up.

I want to know why.

I want to calm down right now

Because I will go and slam that

Door right now.

Why didn't I get a warning?

I mean [ bleep ]?

Lawon doesn't know it but

When he starts lying his whole

Vernacular and the way he speaks

Changes and he gets this bad boy

Attitude.

I'm not worried for that

[ Bleep ] twist for you to put

Me up and you been smiling in my

Face all the time.

You volunteered?

Why would I even volunteer

For some stuff like that?

Why would I even do that?

I know you wouldn't lie.

That's not even in my damn

Character.

It just seems way fish tow me

Because why would you put up

Somebody you are tight with?

She has an agenda.

Something doesn't make sense.

I'm going to get to the

Bottom of this before I walk out

That door--

Why do you think you're going

To walk out the door?

Rachel is up against you.

You know, I mean, she can

Persuade--

Rachel is not going to

Persuade anybody.

The whole thing is whacka

Doodle.

I'm really suspicious of lawon

And he continues to deny that he

Volunteered to go up or that he

Even knew he was going on the

Block so I've got to gets to the

Bottom of it.

Did-- did lawon volunteer

Because he's down there acting

Like he's enraged?

Really?

Did he volunteer?

No.

He's a big actor.

We talked about it.

Is he acting really mad?

He's just like [ bleep ].

I'm going to let you rest.

Thanks for not putting me up.

Of course.

See you later.

Rachel's so happy.

They're so dumb.

Shelly.

I-- I just asked him-- I

Played stupid I'm like, "dude

You volunteered to go up?"

And he said, "I didn't volunteer

[ Bleep ]."

I think that's an act.

It's all an act.

I got some questions.

I got some questions to ask.

I hate actors.

You okay, boo?

Just the way [ bleep ] it

Happened, you know?

I mean, she should have told me

She was going to put me up.

I guess the way the game is

Played.

She should have told me.

Well, whoever leaves is

Coming right back.

They better be ready when I

Come back.

Yeah, boo.

And the nominees are?

Best--best-- acting job in the "big

Brother" house goes to...

Lawonderful.

I don't really care about

Lawon's performance.

We have the votes to get him out

Of this house.

If he wants to dance around and

Be mad, sad, happy, bad, I don't

Care.

I have to do whatever it

Takes to stay in the game this

Week.

So I have to make them think I

Will work with them so I can

Stay in the house.

What are your thoughts with

Everything right now?

I have no idea.

I think I'm getting voted out,

And I think there's a twist so

I'm coming back.

I'm trying to get votes.

Do you feel like it's

Possible for you to get the

Votes to stay?

I think I have two votes.

I just need one more, and you

Would be a tie-breaker,

Obviously.

By putting lawon up, I have

Totally given rachel an easy way

Out this week.

I need to make a deal with

Rachel that's going to keep

Myself and daniele safe.

We have the votes to keep you.

We have the votes to evict you,

And keeping you, it's kind of,

Like, a bit of a truce.

If, by any chance, I were to

Make a huge change in my game,

It would be a really big deal

For me.

So I need to know that I'm not

Going to get screwed.

I'm telling you both that, as

Competitors, I will not come

After you.

I'm targeting floaters.

There's plenty of them.

Well, there are a couple of

Things along with it.

A huge issue in this house is

That people go around and they

Just yap everything.

And if you were to go downstairs

And let people know we're

Calling a truce and we're not

Going to, like, whatever, and

You're going to stay.

As far as votes go, porsche is

Going to vote however myself and

Daniele tell her to vote.

Shelly will probably vote

However I tell her to vote.

And even if it comes down to a

- Tie, I get to control who

Goes home.

Well, daniele, document

People to think that we still

Hate each other?

Just keep things the same

Between everything in the way

People think everything is.

You know?

Are we good?

All right.

We'll talk again.

Absolutely.

If these girls are actually

Stupid enough to keep me in the

House this week, they're going

To definitely feel the wrath of

Rachel.

Are you sleeping for the

Night?

Yeah.

I talked to kalia.

What did he say?

They're like, "do you think

You have the votes?"

And I was like, "I don't know, I

Don't know what's going on."

She was like, "we are crowing

The votes this week."

And I was like, "all right,

Well, if I go, then I'm coming

Back."

That's all they asked you.

Yeah.

And they didn't try to say,

Hey, you want to work with us or

Anything?

No, no deals nothing.

Don't make sense.

It doesn't make any sense.

What's up now?

Rachel's upstairs with all of

Them.

And they're just like, "we

Control the votes this week"

Blah, blah, blah.

Trust me on this, don't

Listen to them.

Just shake your head.

You have to stay zipped.

They're trying to [ bleep ] you

Up.

It's not like they were

Threatening me.

Stop talking to them.

I'm going to.

They're trying to say, "look,

We have the votes, and if we

Keep you here, then you have to

Work with us," or something

Stupid.

You owe us.

That is what it was like.

It was like you owe us.

So they're playing you.

They've had their chance to make

A deal.

She didn't say anything about

A deal or anything, like,

Nothing.

Rachel's so unstable in this

Things, she is not somebody I

Can say I trust.

She'll coanything to stay in the

Game.

Every time you go up there, I

Get a little nervous.

I know.

Me, too.

You make me nervous.

We vote you out if you go up

There again.

You shut up.

I'll throw this at you.

Information gets you trust in

This house.

I've got my alliance with jeff

And jordan, but I'm still trying

To play both sides of the house.

So I have to discuss little

Things with daniele.

So what's up with lawonderful.

I genuinely have no idea.

Are you suspicious of him at

All.

He's lost his mind.

I feel like him I'm in a nut

Shows.

With rachel and him on the

Block, when is the biggest cae

Crazy.

You have one who needs to be

Locked up and another who will

Stab me in my sleep.

There's no way she's making it

Last night.

Last night she goes upstairs,

Comes back down, and starts

Freaking out.

I honestly thought by the way

She was acting, you guys had

Made up and she had come and

Made a deal with you all

[ Laughs ].

Are you kidding me, rachel?

I asked you to do one thing and

That's keep your lips shut and

You can't even do that.

I have no idea.

Yeah, I don't get it.

This is unbelievable to me.

I don't even know why I thought

She could shut up for one se

Second.

I'm really having second

Thoughts.

Rachel, after coming up here,

Goes straight down there and

Said that kalia just told me she

Has the votes to get rid of me,

And then shelly goes I thought

She went up there and made a

Deal with you and came back down

Here and was acting so weird.

That's what she said.

Just so you know.

She's questioning saying that

She thought there was a deal

Being made, which is no bueno.

She went out and said this

Yesterday after she talked to

Us.

Right when she walked

Downstairs.

I don't understand if rachel

Doesn't know english or what,

But when you say this

Conversation doesn't leave this

Room, that's what it means.

What would be rachel's reasons

For not taking our deal or for

Ruining it?

Just because she has a big

Mouth.

Come on.

I know, but is her mouth more

Important than staying in this

Game?

Rachel wants nothing more than

To stay here.

But it's rachel.

Percentage.

Give me a percentage,

Lawon-rachel.

I literally, honestly, and

Truly, like, have never wanted

Rachel to stay.

It's all because of this twist.

I know, I know, I know.

Part of me wants to get her out.

You think it's just better to

Put her out and take our

Chances?

Part of me thinks so.

I know that, like, people

Lie, or whatever in this game

And you turn on people all the

Time but she's in a place where

She really wants to stay in the

Game.

And as far as I'm corporated

It's a huge leap of faith on our

Part to even remotely considered

This and then she goes and blows

It.

I will not even kick her out of

The house I will [ bleep ] sock

Her in the jaw.

Because it's just dumb.

Julie: tonight, the

Houseguests will be voting live

To evict either rachel or lawon.

Whoever is evicted will battle

The evictee that you chose to

Get back in the game.

Will it be keith, cassi,

Dominic, or brendon?

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

Let's go to the living room and

Talk with the houseguests.

Hi, everybody.

Hey, julie!

Julie: well, houseguests,

Last week I told you about a new

Twist.

Daniele, has that affected the

Way you've played the game this

Week?

Uhm, I think to an extent it

Has.

How much, it's "big brother."

Whatever's going to happen is

Going to happen so I feel that

You should play the game as if

You don't know whatever because

It's going to happen.

Julie: go big.

Yup.

Julie: shelly, I think we

Saw more tears than ever this

Week.

Do you think the stress of the

Game is just getting to

Everyone?

Oh, good, I thought you were

Talking about me.

Yeah, everybody was crying this

Week.

It was crazy.

I think this is a pressure

Cooker, and people really do get

Tense, and then all of a sudden,

You're like it's not me.

This isn't normal.

And it seems like people start

Crying.

I know we're going to get adam

Crying real soon, so...

[ Laughter ].

Julie: you're going to

Break him down.

We're going to break him

Down.

He might have to shave something

Else off if we get him crying.

Julie: easy, now.

Jordan, you shed some tears as

Well.

What got to you this week?

Uhm, I think with the

Have-have not competition I felt

Like jeff and rachel tied it up,

And then it was up to me to chug

Against adam, and I tried to

Make his as thick as possible so

He would struggle, and I just

Eye felt like I lost it for

Everybody, and I was just upset.

There was other things bothering

Me and I normally ball

Everything up and when something

Like that happens I just let it

Out.

So I was like a ball of fire

This week.

Julie: you really were.

And I've been on slop, and

I've almost slept in that bed,

Like, days so I've been

Pretty gripey.

Julie: you've had it with

That bed and the slop.

Oh, yeah.

Julie: jeff, days in the

House, you passed the halfway

Mark.

Does the game get easier or does

It get harder at this point?

Uhmi think-- well, that's a

Good question.

I think it gets harder because

You have a lot of emotions

Running through your head and

Each person talking in thur own

Corner you think they're talking

About you.

Going through the game one time

I think I got my emotions-- let

My emotions get the best of me.

It's nice to sit back and see

That happening to other people

In a way and know that I know

I'm going through my emotions,

Too, but knowing that it's, you

Know, getting to other people as

Well.

Julie: fair enough.

So, yes, it's harder.

Julie: okay.

Long way of saying that.

Yes.

Julie: thanks, everybody.

Thanks, julie!

Julie: inside the "big

Brother" house, rachel seems to

Make enemies easily.

So what do her enemies from last

Summer have to say about her

Now?

I'm ragan from "big brother

" And one of the most handsome

Men to ever play the game.

When I was in the house, my

Biggest enemy was rachel.

Rachel, everything about you is

A lie.

Your boobs are a lie.

Your face is a lie.

The only thing honest about you

Is the pimples on your chin.

Ha-ha-ha.

Count your friends in the house.

Done already?

Why don't you get us a drink,

Waitress.

I may have, in the heat of the

Moment, called her a redheaded

Parrot from hell, a waitress,

And a c*ck, but raich

Wheel I were out of the house we

Learned we actually really liked

Each other so it was very easy

For us to find common ground.

We work out together and drink

Together-- which is rachel's

Favorite pastime, and believe it

Or not, I'm going to be in

Rachel's wedding party.

[ Doorbell ].

Bookie!

Hey, what's up, man.

I'm matt from "big brother

Season ."

What's going on?

I'm so glad to see you.

Ragan and I are very good

Friends.

I'm still waiting for him to

Propose g*y marriage for me.

It has not happened.

I think he's hopelessly

Straight.

My favorite part of the

Season.

You have to stop with the sad

Thing.

It's making people

Uncomfortable.

You know what--

Baby, what are you doing?

It's so ridiculous.

Leave me alone.

I'm going to sit in the hammock!

I love this.

Let me just get evicted,

Self-evict or victor whatever.

Rachel is the only person who

Can cry without having tears.

And she's sincerely upset

Right now.

Yes.

Julie: brendon, you are

Evicted from the "big brother"

House.

This week we see rachel what

I call cribernating, the sassy,

Feisty, in-your-face rachel goes

Away for a few days.

[ Crying ]

Rachel is very emotional without

Brendon because rachel has never

Been in the "big brother" house

Without brendon.

It's not fair!

I lost brendon for six weeks.

She doesn't know what it's

Like to play "big brother" as a

Single player.

Brendon, it sucks with you

Gone because I miss you so much.

And I might be at my lowest

Point in the game right now, but

I am thinking about what you

Would do.

No matter what, I'm always

Fighting.

I love you, and I promise I will

Fight very hard.

And I hopefully know that you're

Watching this.

You know, she's crying.

He's hibernating.

She'll snap out of it and we'll

Get feisty rachel back.

Is this serious?

Does she have to be sitting on

My lap and touching my foot?

I'm not.

I'm sitting at the chair.

Look at her face.

She's always so, like, I

Don't understand why people are

Treating me this way when it's

Obvious.

No, no.

Rachel is down but you can never

Count her out.

She's kind of like a k*ller at

The end of a slasher movie.

You can pump b*ll*ts into her.

You can decapitate her.

You can set her body on fire,

And then suddenly she comes back

For one last scare.

So everybody who thinks that

Rachel is out of the house

Better watch out because she

Will come back with a vengeance.

I think daniele's going to be

Really hard to get out.

Yeah, I know.

I just need to watch her back

Because I'm going to be really

Hard to get out, too.

Julie: coming up, it's the

Live vote and eviction.

Rachel or lawon.

Who will be evicted and whom

Will they battle to get back in

The game?

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

It's the last hour of kalia's

Reign of head of household.

Let's talk to her privately in

The h.o.h. Bedroom.

Hi, kalia.

Hi, julie.

Julie: all your housemates

Are downstairs in the living

Room.

They cannot hear you so, please,

Speak your mind.

I always do.

Julie: yes, you do, and I

Love that.

It was a tough week for you.

Absolutely.

Julie: what was your

Biggest challenge as head of

Household?

The biggest challenge as

H.o.h. Is, honestly, dealing

With this twist.

It is no secret that all week I

Have wanted rachel out of this

House, and so has pretty much

Everyone here.

As soon as we find out there's a

Possibility she'll come back you

Kind of start thinking of other

Things, scenarios start getting

Out of control and next thing

You know you have no idea what

To do so it's really been hard

This week.

Julie: let me ask you

This-- your twist clearly

Influenced your replacement

Nominee.

It did.

Julie: are you happy with

How everything played out?

You know what, I always say I

Will jump and grow wings on the

Way down and I have no regrets

In this game.

I always said I will come and

Play hard and whatever decisions

I make those were meant to

Happen the way they happened.

I can't say I regret it but if

Lawon does leave this week and

Does not return I can't lie-- I

Will probably feel a little

Responsible.

Julie: you spent a lot of

Time trying to make up with jeff

And jordan.

Why was that so important to

You?

I am a really, really loyal

Friend, and the fact that

Everything blew up the way it

Did, it was all for game-sake

But in the back of my mind I've

Always, always considered jeff,

And especially jordan, my

Friends.

And in the beginning of this

Game when it was so hard, they

Were the people I connected with

The most.

I miss that friendship so much.

No matter how much I love dani I

Do miss that initial friendship

With them so I'm constantly

Trying to fix it just to look

Out for each other in this game

Because you care about people in

This game.

Julie: thank you, kalia.

Thank you, julie.

You can go backdown stairs.

I will, thank you.

Julie: it is time to find

Out who will be evicted tonight.

Will it be rachel, the original

Target this week?

Or lawon, the person who asked

To be evicted?

Let's return to the living room

And talk with the two nominees.

Rachel, lawon, in just a moments

Your housemates will cast their

Votes to evict live, but before

They do, you each have one last

Chance to plead your case.

Rachel, you're first.

Uhm, I want to say thanks to

My family for support and I miss

Brendon and love him so much.

Thank you, houseguests, "big

Brother " has been a great

Experience.

Thank you for the competition.

I know you'll do the right

Thing, and just remember there's

A twist this week, guys.

Julie: thanks, rachel.

Lawon.

It's your turn.

Whooo!

Let me tell you, this has been a

Great summer for me.

I have fallen in love with all

Of you all.

I'm not going to say something

Cruddy or about spineless

Jellyfish to you all because I

Love all of y'all.

You know there's a twist this

Week.

Whatever happens, happens.

At the end of this game, only

You are going to be able to get

This money.

So do the best thing for you.

Julie: thank you, lawon.

Thank you, both.

It is time for the live voting

To begin.

Neither of the nominees is

Allowed to vote.

Kalia, as current head of

Household, you will only vote in

The event of a tie.

One at a time, the rest of you

Will enter the diary room and

Cast your vote to evict.

Jordan, you're up first.

Please go to the diary room.

Jordan knows that cooperating

Rachel is best for her game.

But can she deal with rachel's

Emotional swings for one more

Week?

Just a few moments to say

Good-bye, gather her or her

Belongings and walk out the

Front door.

By a vote of -, lawon, you are

Evicted from the "big brother"

House.

Lawon.

Just hang on one second.

Everyone, please, take a seat.

Shocker!

Finally.

I'm happy to finally know.

Or the astronaut?

Julie: now, as I told

Everyone last week, tonight's

Evictee will have a chance to

Return to the game.

But, lawon, it won't be easy.

Because for the first time in

The history of "big brother,"

You will need to battle your way

Back.

Who will you be battling?

As they were evicted, keith,

Cassi, dominic, and brendon were

Sequestered separately with the

Knowledge that they, too, might

Have a chance to return to the

"Big brother" house.

[ Laughter ]

[ Applause ]

What they didn't know-- what

That all week long, america has

Been voting for who they want to

See back in the game.

Shocker!

Julie?

Just a few minutes, I will

Reveal the winner of that vote.

At that time, you, lawon, and

America's choice will go head to

Head in the most important

Battle of the summer.

The winner will return to the

Game for a second chance at the

Half million dollar prize.

Wow.

Julie: the battle will take

Place shortly.

I'll see you all in just a few

Moments.

Okay.

Okay.

Julie: keith, cassi,

Dominic, and brendon, in just a

Few moments, one of them will

Have a shot to get back into the

House.

Let's talk to them before we

Reveal america's vote.

Welcome back, evicted

Houseguests.

Hey!

Julie!

Julie: hey, keith, this is

The first time you're seeing who

Was econvicted after your

Departure.

Any surprises?

Absolutely brendon here, I

Can't believe it, man.

We're all shocked about

Brendon.

He's the one I'm shocked

About.

I'm just excited to be back can

Dominic and cassi here.

We had an alliance.

So--

Shhh!

Julie: cassi, how about

You?

Any shocker seeing people next

To you?

Well, obviously, I knew about

Keith.

I'm shocked as heck to see

Brendon out here, honestly.

Dom, I knew, obviously, that

With what was left with the

Veterans having to choose from

That there was a good chance,

But I was hoping it wasn't going

To be him.

Julie: dominic, how badly

Do you want to get back in the

House?

So bad.

I'll offer my firstborn child,

Maybe my brother as an

Indentured servant.

So bad.

Julie: I can tell.

Brendon what would it mean to

Play the game again?

It would mean a lot for me.

Obviously I gave it up for

Rachel to be playing in the

Game.

Julie: well, the two

Nominees this past week were

Lawon and rachel.

Wow.

Julie: moments ago the

Person evicted was lawon, which

Means one of you will face off

Against him to get back in the

Game.

I'll reveal america's vote in

Just a few moments.

Dude, good luck.

Julie: so who did you,

America, choose to compete for a

Second shot at the half million

Dollar prize?

Will battle to return to the

It's "go" time.

Hello, houseguests, and evicted

Houseguests.

Hey!

Julie: as you all now know,

All week long, america has been

Voting for which of the first

Four evicted houseguests they

Want to give a second shot at

The half million dollar prize.

That person will now compete

Against lawon to get back in the

Game.

More than two million votes were

Cast.

And here are the results.

Keith, cassi, I'm sorry but you

Will not be returning to the

Game.

That means it's between you,

Dominic, and you, brendon.

I can tell you, it was close.

The winner who received more

Than one million votes is

Brendon.

Keith, cassi, dominic, thank you

Very much.

Please exit the yard now.

Brendon and lawon, please take

Your places at your becausers.

This competition is called

"That's how we roll."

And here's how it works.

On my go, ba*ls will be

Dropped into the yard.

On each ball is the name of one

Of the original houseguests.

The goal is to get a complete

Set of the houseguests into

The hole at the top of the ramp.

Be careful, there is only room

For ba*ls.

When you're done, hit your

Buzzer, lock in your time.

The person who has most complete

Set of houseguests at the end of

Three minutes will be back in

The game.

If there's a tie, the person who

Locked in their time first will

Win and be back in the game.

If we are tied and no one

Bu

Zzed in, the person who sank the

First ball will be the winner.

Do you both understand?

Yeah.

Yeah.
