Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother ,"

Eric failed to take his romance with Jessica to the next level

again.

Thank you.

NARRATOR: And again.

I have no game whatsoever as it relates to women.

You know?

I'm just ' '' Jewish kid.

Meanwhile, d*ck and Daniele's relationship

took a step backwards.

I never abandoned you.

I was there for you.

I don't think that you've always been there for me.

You're the one that has always left.

There's reasons!

NARRATOR: Although personally they were having problems,

strategically everything was going according to plan.

JULIE: Congratulations, Jessica.

You are HOH.

Jessica was in my alliance as HOH.

I know I'm not going home this week.

I know Danielle's not going home this week.

How awesome is that?

But little did they know, Jameka was

trying to get them nominated.

--ED and Daniele.

I would much rather see her go over him.

But I just-- I'm trying to figure

out how to make that work.

NARRATOR: And Zach had a similar agenda.

If you really want to make monumental changes

in this game, personally, I think put up d*ck and Daniele.

If you truly trust me based on the way I voted for you

in the past, you still have that option this week

if you want it.

NARRATOR: Stuc in the middle, Jessica

had a tough decision to make.

d*ck and Daniele are two of the strongest

players in the game.

If I could take one of them out this week,

then I would only have one left to deal with in the game.

NARRATOR: When America's player received his assignment--

Who should Eric get nominated?

Amber.

NARRATOR: --he went to work.

I most want to see Amber nominated for sure.

I don't think Amber likes us at all,

and I don't think she's trustworthy at all either.

NARRATOR: At the nomination ceremony,

Jessica took Eric's advice to heart.

I nominated you, Zach, and you, Amber.

NARRATOR: Who will win the power of veto?

And will they use it to save either Amber

or Zach from eviction?

And will Eric accomplish his next task?

Find out tonight on "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

[music playing]

ED, you are safe.

[music playing]

I nominated you, Zach, and you, Amber, for eviction

this week.

Zach, I've gotten closer with you as we've been here,

but I just feel like with other people in the house

that they have really been there either since the beginning,

or we've talked strategically more the entire game.

That's basically it for you.

Amber, I've gotten closer with you, but like I said,

there are other people in the House

that have just been there the entire time.

So I nominated you.

With that said, this meeting is adjourned.

[music playing]

Jessica flat out told me straight to my face

without a grin or anything that she can trust me.

That was just a bold faced lie.

If she can trust me, then why did she put me up?

If I get a chance to get her back, hell yeah.

She'll get it.

[music playing]

I really believe I'm safe.

And I know that God is looking out for me.

If you worry, it just shows doubt in God's eyes,

and it makes him upset.

And I don't want to do that.

So I believe in him, and I know that I will be here next week.

[music playing]

My alliance is rolling through the House like a steamroller.

It couldn't be going any better.

It couldn't be going any better.

This week, Jessica did not nominate me or my dad.

Of course, you can't really trust anybody %.

I've definitely learned that in this House.

There's always that fear, you never

know what's going to happen.

You're living in Big Brother, a house of lies and deceit.

[music playing]

[WHISPERING] Oh, God.

[sniffs] [sighs] Oh, God.

So I'm up on the block, and I don't doubt

what you have in mind for me.

I don't doubt what my position in this game is. [CRYING]

Just help me, OK?

Please?

And help me be strong.

And I'm sorry that I'm upset right now,

but you have to understand where I'm coming from,

and I know you have my best interests in mind.

I just know it, because I can feel it.

So I love you, God, and God bless you.

[sniffs] [WHISPERING] Amen.

[music playing]

[water running]

Well, No, no, no.

I'm just saying that was my thoughts.

Like we two, you know what I mean?

So-- Why?

Deep down inside, I feel like I'm playing on shaky ground

right now.

So I don't know really where I stand and everybody.

[gurgling]

[music playing]

Yeah.

No.

[sighs] Was that OK?

That was really well spoken and well said.

Thanks.

[laughs] I feel bad for Amber, but it's the truth.

I feel like-- it's so horrible.

It's like saying to someone, "You're dream might be up."

But--

I am surprised by these nominations.

I didn't want it to be Amber.

It sucks for her to be on the block.

[doorbell rings]

Come in.

You OK?

Yeah.

It's just hard.

I mean, you know.

Yeah.

Zach looked like he--

I thought he was going to start crying.

Did you see his face?

Yeah he was mad.

I think he'll hate me until the day I die,

but we're getting to the point and POV is where

you can't throw it anymore.

You have to fight.

I just didn't realize how many people you can pull from now.

I would like to think that Amber is not the target

this week.

That Jess's intention is to back door

probably Daniele should anyone win the power

of veto that can use it.

POV is going to be brutal.

[music playing]

I'm nervous. But you know what?

I've been sitting here.

You don't need to worry.

Mm-hmm.

Like I said, this whole thing is predetermined.

[inaudible]

[inaudible] me go.

What I'm getting is me and Zach are up

because she wants me to stay.

[WHISPERING] I just think what's going to happen

is she didn't want to put d*ck or Daniele up

because they'd help each other.

She wants to make sure one of them goes.

So by putting me and Zach up, it's a for sure thing.

And if the nominations stay the same,

she's going to kick Zach out.

People keep using me as a pawn.

People use me because they know how

to feel uncomfortable with me.

which kind of sucks, but at the same time,

they'll keep me around for that reason.

[music playing]

Did you ever think you'd come to the House and find yourself

a ' '' Jewish boy from New York that would just

touch you and the way I have?

No, I didn't.

We're in big trouble.

Why?

Because--

Why are we in trouble?

Because eventually, I mean, we're just not going to be

able to resist each other.

[laughs]

Outside of here, we probably would

be actually married by now.

[laughs]

I know.

So I know the real Eric Stein.

Mm-hmm.

And you love him.

And I love him.

And he's going to be my husband of years.

[laughs]

I definitely see wedding bells in our future.

[laughs] Lay down.

[laughs]

[chanting singing]

[crying]

I felt compelled to start praying

and give God thanks for being given another week,

another opportunity to live out one of my dreams.

[crying] Some prayers are more emotional than others,

but they were thankful tears.

They were "I'm not worthy" tears.

They were "You continue to amaze me"

tears. [WHISPERING] God, oh God, oh God, oh God.

You OK?

What's wrong?

What?

Are you OK?

Are you sure?

Yeah.

At first, I thought Jameka had maybe fallen and hurt herself,

but she said she was praying.

Do you want me to leave you alone?

Or--

No.

You don't have to.

Do you want a hug?

Yeah.

[laughs]

What are you doing down there, girl?

I was praying.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you OK?

Aw, Jameka, you're going to make me cry.

Aw, you're so sweet.

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry, I'll clean it up.

[LAUGHING] No, no.

You're fine.

I'm so sorry.

Jameka, even though I don't talk about it here a lot,

I am way into church too.

No, no.

[laughs]

No, but I'm just telling you, I just don't talk about it

a lot here, because I don't go to church while I'm here,

and I feel like I can't.

Uh-huh.

But I do.

And so praying-- totally cool with everything.

Oh God.

Just because, you know, like Catholicism

is based so much on tradition, and everything

that you just know it.

And I went to a Catholic private school when I was younger, so.

Mm-hmm.

We went to church every morning

for a shorter mass, but--

But did y'all have to do communion every day?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, OK.

Why does that happen every day?

What's the--

It's just like--

with being half, [inaudible] it's just

you can have it every day, and the more you're can

have any, the better.

- Oh, OK. - You know?

OK.

When Jess shared with me that she is really into church,

that was just nice to hear.

Never had that experience at all.

[laughs]

Wow.

[music playing]

Can I have a moment with you?

Yeah, that's fine.

Personally, I mean, you're putting me up.

I'm not happy about it, obviously,

because no one wants to be.

I didn't even see it coming, to be honest.

And now that I see it, I'm like, "Well, that makes sense."

My theory.

d*ck and Daniele.

expl*sive together, destructive together,

too much for you to fear if you put them up immediately.

Wow, you nailed that right on the spot.

I don't know if everybody is completely blind

or scared or fearful, but they have

a strong advantage in this game that no one else has.

Mm-hmm.

And it really matters next week.

Mm-hmm.

Because if they're still in it,

and they're not nominated for HOH--

Yep.

Then they decide--

Then they decide who goes.

Wow.

And that's big.

I was hinting at a backdoor plan with Jessica.

I think it's a golden opportunity

not only to secure my safety, but to get rid of somebody

in the house that is more destructive

than I am at this point.

I mean, I don't know what you guys plan is or whatever.

I had an inkling that you would probably

backdoor either one of them if the opportunity

presented itself.

Mm-hmm.

I think this presents the best chance to possibly

get rid of one of those two.

Eric and I have an agreement with d*ck and Daniele,

but I don't trust them at all.

Oh God, it would be so good to get one of them out this week.

Oh, you got a great chance to really ruin things.

I mean, really, upset people that

are overconfident in this game.

Tomorrow's going to be big.

[music playing]

[music playing]

Uh oh!

Hello, darling!

I'm nervous.

You should be.

As you all know, Amber and Daniele went on a mystery trip

after placing first and second in the veto competition

last week.

And now you're going to find out where they went.

Let's take a look!

You'll both be contestants on the brand

new hit game show "Power of ."

One of you could win up to $ million!

[interposing voices]

[music playing]

You know, first of all, you're going to play

in a game against each other.

We have flown in here one person who is going to sit there,

and who is going to support you in terms of playing this game.

I don't think Daniele has any idea--

[cheering]

--that I would be here, but I'm very excited to see her.

And now, let's welcome our next two contestants, Amber

Siyavus and Daniele Donato.

Hell yeah, I'm jealous that I didn't get

a chance to go on this trip.

I mean, what a great opportunity.

If these two people look familiar to you,

you might have been watching "Big Brother ."

They're both Housemates on "Big Brother ."

So much has happened since you've been in that house.

We have flying cars now.

[laughter]

Karl Rove is the president.

[laughter]

I'm the new host of "Price Is Right."

Yeah!

So many things have happened.

Do you think he's really the host of "The Price Is Right?"

No. - No.

OK.

It's best out of five.

OK.

You're down nothing, you need to win this one,

or you're out.

Amber, you win the next one, you win,

and you get to go on and play for up to $ million.

What percentage of Americans have

looked inside the medicine cabinet

of another person's house?

I don't suppose you guys do that on Big Brother do you?

Look in each other's medicine cabinets?

Four seconds left, three seconds, two.

OK, you're both locked in.

Amber, you're going on to play for $ million.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Daniele.

[cheering]

I was very surprised that Amber

blew Daniele out like that.

Amber's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, man.

Amber, you're crying.

I am.

Amber, let me ask you.

Is being on the show getting to you?

[laughter]

Ready to keep going?

Yeah.

OK, now you can quit at any time.

Let me show you the hundred thousand dollar question.

What percentage of Americans think

people should not be allowed to keep pit bulls as pets?

You can keep the ,, walk away with $,,

which is good money.

If you go for the , and you're wrong,

you're going to walk away with only ,.

You guessed between and %.

Let's see what America said for $,.

[audience yelling]

Amber guessed , .

What?

What?

%.

[audience groans]

Amber.

I'm so sorry.

You get , bucks.

[laughs]

You had to go for it.

It's the chance of a lifetime.

Well, congratulations, and very nice try.

I would have been pissed if she would've won

a nice chunk of money on there.

You shouldn't feel bad whatsoever.

You both looked really good on TV.

You did.

Gorgeous Both of you.

Hey, you guys look good on TV.

Honestly, the hardest part-- oh, it sucks--

was not knowing who was there.

Oh.

It sucked.

I would have really, really, really liked to see Nick.

It would have meant a lot to me.

Oh, I hate this.

I hate this House.

[music playing]

[water running]

Jessica and I have been getting

closer and closer by the day.

I think that Jess is really down to earth.

She's pretty outrageous.

She's just a lot of fun to be around.

[music playing]

What are you doing, hiding?

Mm-mm.

I just never moved.

Why are you under the covers?

Why not?

Do you want to hang out a little more,

or do you want to--

I don't care.

I thought you were--

I'm a little tired, but--

Get my shirt off.

You don't care if I take my shirt off?

No.

[laughs]

Well, this HOH time, you certainly

can't say that it's been unable to find time to hang out.

Yeah, that's true.

Yeah.

Thank God.

I'm going to turn the lights off.

Yeah.

OK.

I'll be right back.

[music playing]

I'm back here for one more second.

Just one tiny little peck.

Your face.

On my face? OK.

Where's your face?

Here it is.

Can you see it?

One more.

[music playing]

[laughs]

About time.

[laughs] You're a good kisser.

I am?

Uh-huh.

[laughs]

Aw.

[music playing]

Time to pick players for the veto competition!

[clapping]

Yeah!

The two nominees, please join me up here.

I hope that d*ck or Daniele's ball

does not get pulled because they will

fight really hard to try to win so

that nominations stay the same.

As HOH, I will pick first.

Guarantee you, I'm the first vote.

Oh, you think you're the first one, do you?

Yeah.

[music playing]

Daniele.

Yay!

Guess not.

[laughs]

Zach.

Here it comes.

House guest choice.

Guess what?

Lucky you, dude.

[cheering]

Thank you.

Thank you.

By putting Eric into the game today,

I think that there's a better chance of him

using the power of veto to save me

and backdoor d*ck or Daniele.

And Amber.

It finally is.

Jameka.

[cheering]

So Jameka has my back, and she has my best interests in mind.

If it's God's plan, she will fight and try to win

and take me off the block.

And d*ck, you'll be the host today for--

Nah-uh, really?

Oh, thank you for picking me!

You're welcome.

[laughter] The game will begin in one hour.

Good luck, everyone.

Hey!

Yay!

[cheering]

[music playing]

--you guys would have some kind of a scheme to figure out

what to do with them I think this is

the perfect moment to do that.

If I can win it, I'm using it.

I'm hoping that if one of you guys win it, that one of them

go up.

If I'm not on the block and my vote is solid,

I'll take one of them out.

Not a problem.

I mean, as far as I know, I don't know of any sort

of grand master plan.

I could see it all unfolding in a multitude of ways, you know?

I certainly think that Zach made some compelling arguments

about the threat that d*ck and Daniele pose in this House.

We have now had two definitive opportunities

to get rid of them.

And we could have wiped them out.

We chose not to.

They need to go.

But know that whatever happens, if you do stay up,

if you don't stay up, I am very open to ideas and

different scenarios, you know?

[music playing]

Hey, all you cool cats!

It's time for the veto competition.

[cheering]

So meet me at the back door.

I think I smell a rat!

[cheering]

Follow me.

Oh man.

Ew!

Wow, Big Brother!

Oh boy.

Awesome!

That's awesome.

Oh, that's scary.

I love it!

When we went outside for the veto competition,

the whole yard was transformed into a swampy, spider webby,

gross forest.

House guests!

This lazy cat before you is hungry.

To win the power of veto, you must satisfy his craving

for some juicy rats.

Each of you will stand on your tree stump,

and the cat will utter a word or phrase.

The word or phrase is the answer to a riddle that can be found

on a rat hidden in the swamp.

You must find a rat with the riddle that matches the answer

and bring the rat to the hungry cat.

But be careful.

If you are the last to bring him his meal,

you will be eliminated.

The last player standing before him will

win the golden power of veto.

[cheering]

[clapping]

Hello, House guests.

Are you ready to play some cat scratch veto?

The answer to the riddle is "Dustin."

Go!

[music playing]

When the answer to the riddles were given,

we had to search through all the rats

to find the riddle that described either that person

or that item.

[music playing]

I wasn't worried at all about having

to get dirty with the dead fish and the rats

everywhere, because I knew I had to win the power of veto

to take myself off the block.

[music playing]

[squeals]

No idea.

[music playing]

[laughing]

I was the last one, and I was mad.

Oh, I got it.

[laughs]

What rat have you brought back?

"He was number six to go.

Enemies to one named Joe."

Correct.

"He was number six to go.

Enemies to one named Joe."

Correct.

"He was number six to go.

Enemy to one named Joe."

Correct.

"Parading in his cape and crown,

his eviction made him frown."

[laughs]

Correct.

"Parading in his cape and crown,

his eviction made him frown."

Correct.

Jessica, you have been eliminated.

Good luck, guys.

With Jessica out of the game, this was entirely on me.

It was my time to step it up and prove it.

The answer to the riddle is "Slop."

Go!

[LAUGHING] Oh, sorry!

Sorry!

[music playing]

I've played in multiple power of veto competitions.

And I guess when your butts on the line,

you don't care what you're going through.

I have to give everything I've got in this competition

in hopes to win.

[music playing]

My intention is to save Amber if I win the power of veto.

One spot left.

No!

I was happy that Amber stepped on the tree trunk before me.

That way she would be able to pull herself off the block.

What rat have you brought back?

"This concoction is crude.

Barely passes as food."

Correct.

"Your outlook seems bleak when you eat this for a week."

Correct.

"This concoction is crude.

Barely passes as food."

Correct.

"Your outlook seems bleak when you eat this for a week."

Correct.

Jameka, you have been eliminated.

Good job, Jameka!

The answer to the riddle is "Nick."

Go!

[music playing]

It was important for me to play hard for Jessica.

I didn't want basically the actions to be dictated

for Jessica and myself.

I wanted us to dictate the actions.

I'm worried that Jessica and Eric,

they're going to flip and turn against us.

And that's why I feel I have to win the veto.

Just to know the nominations would remain the same.

[music playing]

What rat have you brought back?

"Who could know he'd be the fourth to go?"

Correct.

"His heart rang like a bell for House guest Daniele."

Correct.

"His heart rang like a bell for House guest Daniele."

Correct.

Daniele, you have been eliminated.

I was so happy when Daniele was eliminated, because I knew

that if Daniele won the power of veto,

nominations would stay the same.

[sighs] Dang it!

And of course it's the Nick one.

Yeah.

With my name on it.

The answer to the riddle is "Jen."

Go!

[music playing]

Go, guys!

[music playing]

Sorry, boss.

Eric and Zach were kind of racing back to the stump.

Eric got on the stump next to me, I saw him.

And then Zach comes right behind him

and shoves him off his stump.

And it was really rude.

"Big Brother thought it would be hard,

but she loved to wear that unitard."

Correct.

"She was HOH number two, and claimed

her word was always true."

[blows raspberry]

Correct.

Zach, you have be eliminated.

Good job, Zach.

I'm not a sore sport.

He really kicked butt.

And if I was there a second sooner,

I would have had that stump over Eric.

[music playing]

I'm sitting there, and I'm getting really nervous.

I was praying that this was my competition to win,

my vision's going to come true.

The answer to the riddle is "Veto."

Go!

[music playing]

What rat have you brought back?

"It may come as a shock, if you win this,

you're off the block."

That is correct.

Congratulations, Eric.

You have won the power of veto.

Whoo!

That's it.

Welcome to the veto competition, baby!

Whoo!

Good job, Amber.

[clapping]

[cheering]

You're the best!

Whoo!

My first veto win.

It feels great to be able to get Jessica's back.

I feel like I came through in the clutch, and it feels good.

I just got to keep thinking positive

and not get too down on myself.

Even though I feel depressed, I feel down.

I feel like I just want to go crawl in a hole and die.

Oh my God.

Since Eric won the power of veto this time,

that means there's a strong potential chance

of back dooring d*ck or Daniele in this game.

I don't understand why Eric and Zach would have

been hugging after the veto.

It doesn't really make sense.

It is possible that Jessica, Eric,

and Zach have a side deal.

[music playing]

Something wrong?

I just have a lot on my mind.

Want to share?

You know Amber's going to try to cop a deal with Eric

and try to get him to take her off, right?

Oh, I'm sure.

And then Zach will probably do the same thing.

Yeah, but it ain't gonna matter.

But you know they're high because Eric

would not never put Jessica in that kind of position.

Well, unless they were planning it all along, but--

You're really worried.

I'm not worried.

I'm just prepared.

[coughs] I was thinking Eric and Jess

with a side deal with Jameka.

Her and Jessica are very close.

And that's why she didn't put her up this week.

Yeah.

I know.

And that's why Eric was desperate to win the POV

because there's no way that--

She wanted to put her up, of course.

Yeah.

But she would have had to.

Yeah I know.

[coughs] We have to get Jessica out.

I know.

[music playing]

[music playing]

Oh my God.

"In order to accomplish this task,

you must kiss the House guest America has chosen for you."

Who is it?

Come on, Evel d*ck!

I know you're in there.

[drum roll]

Jessica.

Oh my God.

The American people, they're taking great care of me.

Well, I've already completed this task on my own terms,

but I'm happy to do it again.

[music playing]

You know what?

I'm going to get crazy.

[inaudible] I'm sneaking a morning kiss.

[ding]

That's right.

And I'll get them at : AM if I have to.

[music playing]

Oh, it's cold in here.

I don't know what you plan on doing with the veto.

I would think you probably weren't going to use it.

I don't know where you stand with that.

I don't know-- obviously, I don't want to be on the block,

but I don't want you to have to take--

feel obligated to take me off, or me

even to ask you to do that.

Because it puts you in a bad spot too.

Then people think like, "Oh, why did he take Amber off?"

I just don't want to go home yet, and it's just scary.

Because I don't know what d*ck and Daniele are capable of,

which is scary.

I know I have Jameka's vote, and I know I have your vote too,

I would think. You know what I mean?

Over Zach.

But at the same time, like everyone says,

nobody wants to be sitting next to me in the final two,

so I feel like I'm kind of a threat in terms of that.

So I don't know.

I don't know where I stand.

I don't know--

What do you think?

Should I be nervous?

I mean, you're like, "Please."

I just-- I--

They've tried to throw everyone here under the bus

a hundred times.

I just feel like my word is golden, Eric.

And when I say I give my word on something,

you know you can trust it.

And it's like with them, they try to back door you.

You know I mean?

And leaving both of them here is scary.

I completely agree with what you're saying.

But of course, you know that a lot of my decision

is going to be based on honoring and respecting

what Jessica wants to do as Head of Household.

Because one of our main objections the week

Daniele went after me was the fact that d*ck was

wanting her Head of Household.

This is Jessica's thing.

Yeah, no.

I understand.

And they don't--

Sorry, guys.

No, you're fine.

How dare you.

You're totally fine.

If you can say I'm--

[interposing voices]

I'm gonna go downstairs.

Thank you, Eric.

Thank you.

[music playing]

My turn.

I'm worried, Eric.

OK.

I'm making the wrong decision.

OK.

I mean, how do we know they're not just going to turn

around next week and put us up?

Do we actually trust them?

No.

I'm looking at trying to think of what's the way

that we get to the final four?

Even if it's against hard competitors.

But I'm just saying if Amber and Zach stay, how

could you not win next week?

The only person you would have to beat is d*ck.

And d*ck's not even that good.

I mean, there's four people competing, Eric.

I mean, is it really a benefit to keep both of them?

I don't-- it's just starting to eat at me.

This might be the biggest mistake ever.

When both of us are on the block next week,

and it's because of d*ck or Daniele winning.

For better or worse, we did make an agreement with them.

So?

I don't care.

We had an agreement with Dustin, and we sent him home.

There is definitely a possibility

that Eric has a secret agenda, and I wouldn't put it past him.

If he really cared and wanted to do exactly what I thought,

he would use the power of veto.

Trust me, I completely see the dilemma.

[music playing]

[music playing]

I hold the power of veto.

And I must say, I have some pretty compelling options

as to what to do with it.

[music playing]

There is a great possibility that Eric will use the veto.

I really honestly don't know.

Eric will probably do what's convenient for Eric.

I wouldn't be shocked if Eric used the power of veto,

and Jessica replaced one of the nominations with me or my dad.

I would just feel like an idiot.

[music playing]

Daniele tried to back door Eric two weeks ago.

This could be revenge, so to speak,

to get justice served for Eric.

If Eric was the smart player, he would put Daniele up.

This is a golden opportunity.

I welcome you to the veto meeting.

Amber and Zach, you are nominated

for eviction this week.

But I hold the power of veto, which

gives me the power to veto one of your nominations.

This is your final opportunity to tell me why you feel

I should use the power on you.

Amber, you may go first.

OK.

Well, obviously, no one wants to be up in this chair.

It's a crappy feeling.

Obviously, I would love for you to use the veto on me.

Whatever decision you make, I respect it.

Zach.

I, like all of you, I'm one of seven

people still standing here.

Now granted, you won the power of veto this week.

You have the power to make a decision.

And whatever decision you make, I'm willing to live with it.

I took the opportunity to speak with each of the six

with you this week.

Everyone told me that there are clear and present threats

and dangers to my safety and to their own safety in this House.

But my personal opinion is that I view each and every one

of you as very serious threats to me and the Head of Household

this week.

It's coming down to the end.

One of us is going to win.

They say to expect the unexpected.

And that is why I am choosing to not use the power of veto

this week.

[music playing]

This meeting is adjourned.

[music playing]

It's a cowardly move.

It's a selfish move.

Eric is a power hungry person.

He's evil.

He's got no soul.

I'm definitely fighting to stay.

I want to be here more than anybody in this House.

I'm completely dumbfounded that he

did not use the power of veto.

He just made the game even harder and stacked the odds

against him in this game.

I'm not done yet.

I'm not going down without a fight.

When Eric and I disagree on strategy, it sucks.

But I can't a rift between Eric and I because I don't want us

to be stuck fighting for ourselves

when we can still use each other to advance in the game.

America, I know you guys wanted Amber

nominated for the second straight week,

so I did not use the veto.

Let's keep her up there.

And now, you have the choice to send her home, if you'd like.

Who will be evicted from the Big Brother House?

Amber or Zach?

And which of the two nominees do you want Eric to get evicted?
