21x14 - Episode 14

[bunniefuu]

Jack used his power, but it's the power that didn't get played

That turned out to be the most powerful of all.

Welcome to "big brother"!

[ Cheers and applause ] announcer:

Previously on "big brother": the six shooters wanted bella

Out of the game.

Somebody's playing both sides of the house.

Bella has done this and that.

People we thought we could trust might not be as trustworthy as

They thought grow but when hoggpositive became head of the

House, michie had to come up with a plan to get their target

On the block.

Should I offer a pawn, me?

No, you against who?

I don't know, but christie has the veto power.

I want to go up as a pawn.

There's a pretty good chance I could win this power of veto,

And if I do, then I could pull myself off, and christie could

Activate her power which would allow me to replace myself with

Bella.

Announcer: and with christie seemingly on board, she

Told cliff about her power I do have the third power.

It's the diamond power of veto.

Oh.

Fiwere to win the veto, I would, obviously, take myself

Off, and I pick who goes up in my place.

Announcer: despite the threat of a diamond veto, cliff

Decided to take awe big swing at the jacks.

I have nominated you, jack, and you, michie.

It's about time that someone made a big move in this house.

I guess it comes down to me, big hogg energy.

Announcer: with the veto on the line... Michie stripped the

Others of a win.

Two minutes and seconds!

How did you do that!

Your boy done won the veto.

Now christie can use her power, giving me the control of the

Replacement nominee, so I can put bella on the block.

Announcer: worried that the panic power could unravel his

Game.

If christie uses her power, that side of the house gets

Everything they want this week and I'm enemy number one for

Next week.

Announcer: cliff struck a deal with christie.

If you were willing to backdoor bella and me not use my

Power I for the next two weeks would use my power to benefit

You, however it may be.

Announcer: at the veto meeting...

I have decided to use the power of veto on myself.

Announcer: christie didn't use her power, but the six

Shooters still got their target on the block.

Bella, I'm sorry.

But it's you this week.

Announcer: tonight, will it be bella or jack sent packing?

Plus, an epic battle of endurance begins.

Which way will the power sway?

Find out right now live on "big brother!"

I'm really god at taking my clothes off!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Julie: good evening.

I'm julie chen moonves.

Welcome to "big brother."

It's day inside the "big brother" house, and after

Cliff's triumphant return to the game and rise to power, he

Attempted to make a big play, putting the jacks on the block.

But michie's veto win coupled with the threat of christie's

Panic power, may foil cliff's plan to send his target, jack,

Out the door.

So, will the six shooters stay intact, or could they suffer

Their first loss of the summer?

We'll find out soon enough.

But first, talking too much put a target on bella's back.

But can she talk her way out of the trouble she's in?

This veto meeting is adjourned.

The cliff-a-maniac are probably saying, oh, my gosh,

Cliff, why didn't you just break your word to christie, put up a

Pawn, so that you could send jack home?

But looking forward two, three, four weeks down the road.

Cliff-a-mania is the most powerful force in the universe

And I will get him one day.

My sweaty body.

So it kind of sucks that I'm on the block, still, of course,

But if I had to choose one person this this entire house to

Be up on the block against, it would be bella.

She doesn't have a lot of friends in this house, besides

Nick or sam.

So my odds are looking pretty good.

I'm sorry.

Cliff ,% just made the biggest mistake of husband game.

And by putting up bell ahi might have made the other side happy

But I think he forgets that last week they just voted him out!

It literally is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

At least if you're going to put bella up, make her use the damn

Power.

I'm sorry.

It was gog happen no matter what.

You gotta protect your game.

Don't worry about it.

It just doesn't seem like, sitting next to jack, so that

Sucks.

Every week I say to myself, like, you're never safe.

You're never safe.

So this just happened to be, us, the week for me.

Six shooters been wanting bella gone for a long time.

And it's not just us, either.

Almost the entire house, other than nick and sam, has been

Burned by bella.

You did good, jackson.

I can't go against my word.

And the only way she didn't use it was to make a promise that I

Would put bella up.

We're going to lose.

We have no one now.

It's gonna be me, you, and sam.

I know.

They're going to pick us off one by one.

Here's the thing.

I felt like my two oppositions were to let her use the power

Which means we get the same result anyway.

Yeah, but we're still down one.

Bella's still gone.

Then all I am is the enemy number one.

I hear you.

I'm not going to break my word this early.

I know, because you're a good person.

Nick's upset, but I don't think he cares as much about my

Game as he cares about his name.

I could have made a big move on christie, but it would have

Involved me breaking my word and that's not something I wish to

Do.

Nick and bella are a sinking ship.

They're not my path to victory.

It is what it is.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't really have any regrets.

Do you want me to win?

I'm going to try my best.

There's no way bale's staying.

I trust her, and I really-- I really do love her.

So it's going to suck trying to live here without her.

I am going to like you.

I'm worried that you won't luke me.

What if you don't wait for me.

I will.

Promise?

Yeah.

Now I'm going to cry.

I care about nick so much.

And I'm going to do whatever it takes to fight to stay in this

House.

I feel like I deserve to be here.

And, like... Like, I'm not going to give up hope.

And, like... Like, I'm not going to give up hope.

You've made yourself a pret sweet deal.

I don't, so my word really is my bond.

If I screw that up this early.

Cliff made a deal with christie and he stuck with it

And ended up putting bella on the block.

He could have gone the other way and not respected it at all and

Taken a shot at us and he didn't.

That's a pretty cool thing.

He kept his word.

I think I proved I'm a competitor.

Yeah, that's an understatement.

I would say so.

Yes, I would agree with that.

Here's another deal, guys.

I was thinking about this last night.

You mean, you took a shot.

It department work and whatever, but no one would ever suspect me

Working with you all ever.

No.

And you all ever wanted to work with me instead of kind of

Butting heads... I realize I'm not at the top of the totem pole

With these couples.

But they turned on nick and bella and cut them loose.

Now there's only sux.

If I can buy a few weeks of safety, who's to say that this

Group of six won't turn on each other again.

All I have to do is make sure I'm not a target until they

Start turning on one another, and then I can go in and

Capitalize at that point.

I think that's definitely something worth considering.

Nobody would really expect having you be a part of what

We're trying to complete.

I've always been a little on the outside, and you all know

That.

Yeah.

I think-- I think it's a great idea.

I want to make sure everyone's on the same page.

Yeah for good.

I would say let's shake on it right now, but I don't want them

To look out here and be, like, a weird thing.

It's going to be a spit handshake, route?

Cliff has proven that he's an honorable guy, and that he's

Also a great competitor.

So, I mean, bringing him into the fold on our side might not

Be a bad idea.

We don't even really have to shake to, but we'll--

As long as we have your word.

You've got my word.

I feel like I need to turn this way.

I look so fat when I lay like this.

No, you don't.

No, you look so good.

I feel fat.

Okay, rock star model, miss wyoming.

Shhh!

Nobody knows that.

I know.

Guess what?

Holly and i, we actually have more than just mick necommon.

We both were in the pageant world.

We do promo modeling.

We don't exactly know each other, but our lives are very

Intertwined.

I might get burned.

This is just a weird situation.

I feel like I want to trust her because I recognize her face,

But really, we're just kind of getting to know each other.

Hello, holly.

I'm going to see if you're still doing your makeup.

I want to do our makeup together.

Your fingernails are so tiny I know, because I always bite

My nails.

It's disgusting.

We're, like, a forbidden love affair.

Should we leave separately?

I feel like I'm leaving a hotel room with my mistress.

Bye, honey wait, seriously?

This is just bizarre.

And I sure as heck didn't expect to end up having a final two

With her.

Cat, don't screw me over, please.

If anyone in the house finds out.

[ No audio ].

We're dead.

I obviously think it's... Talk about manifestation.

I know.

Let me show you something, nick.

Let me teach you something.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, just watch.

One, two, three.

Oh!

Oh, no!

I'm sorry!

Oh, my god.

I'm so sorry.

Did I pop a nut?

All right.

I truly and absolutely wanted to send jack home.

But it became obvious over the last hours or so, that she

Was going to use the power, and that you were going to get put

Up.

I mean, I still feel like I'm-- I'm still going to

Campaign.

Sure, no, I wouldn't do otherwise

I know in order for me to stay I just need five votes.

I already have nick and sam so I only need to get three more

People on board for cliff to break the tie so they can stay

In this house.

Here's the deal: I would love to still see jack go home.

Yeah.

If you can make it work.

Yeah.

I don't have a vote, so it's out of my hands at this point.

There's nothing I can do.

If you make it work, more power to you.

You're going to come off as a champ if that happens.

You can come in, fundamental.

Now it's really just up to me me.

I think I can get nicole.

She is smart and she knows it's, like, one of her last shots.

Work on kat.

And we still need jess.

Yeah, we need them all.

Then it would come down with a tie-breaker and you would

Break a tie.

It's a tie-breaker.

I wanted him gone in the beginning of the week.

That hasn't changed.

If it's a tie-breaker, I will do what I need to do.

I have been planting seeds all over this house for my long-term

Game.

But if bella can force awe tie and I get a chance to give the

Big old boot to jack and get him out of the house, what am I

Going to do cliff-a-maniac?

What am I going to do?

You're going to vote out jack, right?

Yeah.

Hi hi.

What's up?

Is it time?

It's time!

Only, like, two points that I'm campaigning is, one, that

Jack is a bigger threat than me in this game because he already

Won the second h.o.h.

He came really close to winning last one.

He did win the power and, like, I've won nothing.

[ Laughing ] clearly, on the comp side, like,

I really don't have a great track record.

And on the social sued, which leads me to my second point,

Because I think I betrayed a lot of trust at the beginning, and I

Know, and I completely am owning that, I would be a bigger target

Than both of you for next week by far.

Yeah.

So, that's it.

Totally valid.

That's my campaign.

Jack is a big player.

He definitely does have the potential to win "big brother."

But I'm afraid if I vote jack out, that could be really bad

For my game.

Eventually we're going to have to get jack out.

Is that the time to do that?

So just think about what's best for you.

That's it.

I'm literally going to campaign to everyone, like, it's my last

Shot.

Like, like I have nothing to lose.

What's your plan moving forward?

Two votes they would definitely need to stay in this

House are jess' and nicole's.

And I definitely betrayed their trust before.

Here goes nothing.

I just want to get three more people.

I'm sorry, nick and sam, like, they have to vote for me, or

Else I'll k*ll them and their families.

I have two: two, I'm a bigger target, because everyone sees me

As untrustworthy.

I would be an easy nominee for the block next week.

Personally, I'm still mad at bella for outing the black

Widows and ultimately put me on the block for two weeks nay row.

But she makes a compelling argument.

Jack is a bigger threat.

He's put me up on the block, and he's a part of a six that seems

To be running the house decisions.

I feel so sorry for, like, the things that I've said, and,

Like the things that I've done, but whether you believe me or

Not, whether you never trust me, like, I want you to know I love

You as a person.

And I really, really want to be your friend after this game.

This is the most genuine bella has been in this house,

And this is the bella I could work with.

This is the bella I wanted to work with.

This is a huge opportunity to take out jack, and we don't know

If we're going to get it again any time soon.

I just don't want to regret my decision.

Lines have already been drawn.

Things can change.

I appreciate you talking to us.

I campaigned so hard to be here, and I put it out there.

I took my shot.

It could be my last night in the house, but... Hopefully not.

Please consider, like, what's best for your game.

And that's it.

Julie: up next, it's time to meet the cliff-a-maniacs.

Then, bella or jack?

Will the six shooters continue to roll, or will the others come

Together and take their shot?

The live vote and eviction, coming up.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ] julie: welcome back to "big

Brother."

This week, cliff became the comeback king, surprising

Everyone but his family back home.

Oh, it smells so good!

Just playing the game, sharon, just playing the game.

Some the longest you've been away from her?

Yeah, I've never gone more than two or three days without

Talk to her, even when I traveled.

Even when I was in the middle of nowhere in nigeria, I would find

Somewhere I could get a phone card.

Don't make me cry.

♪ ♪ All right, guys, thanks,

Everybody, for coming, and let's give a big shout-out to cliff

The comeback king.

I'm sharon hogg, and I've been married to cliff for years.

We have two children.

Cliff is a wonderful husband.

He's sweet, kind, loving.

I misdad.

Uh, yeah.

He would not be setting the grill on fire.

My name is daniel hogg.

Cliff is my dad, and I'm really proud of that.

Is it weird doing this without cliff.

Oh, yes.

We're texas through and through.

The hogg name is famous in texas.

People might be surprised to know that cliff loves to build

Things.

He's quite the handy man.

He's built a swing for our backyard.

For christmas, he built me a bench for outside.

Wow!

So my after thes and craftsmanship is going to be

Tested at this point I love that!

Yes!

Wait, it's going to look so legit with the tin foil.

Like a legitimate space helmet.

Thank you.

Houston, I'm stepping from the craft.

[ Applause ] yes!

But cliff is an expert in multilateral orwells.

He's very intelligent.

Coal is a type of petroleum, basically.

He actually earned a patent in that industry and he is a

World-renowned expert.

It's all hydrocarbons.

It's just different types.

Best part is traveling everywhere.

How many countries.

Kuwait, bahrain, qatar.

Oh, my god!

I hope you're watching live feeds hours a day.

Sharon, I hope you're-- you're doing well.

Oh, my gosh!

"Cliff notes" are my morning talks to the live feed cameras.

Christie and tommy, I think they're working together even

More than I thought before.

Oh, no!

Oh, my god!

No!

No!

In that moment, I wanted to say to my father to shut up!

Close your mouth and stop talking!

Cliff, you are the final member of camp comeback.

Oh!

He'll find a way to stay in.

He always does.

He can do anything.

[ Cheers ].

Julie: and congratulations to cliff.

[ Applause ].

My dad is a great competitor in anything that he does.

Congratulations to cliff.

You're the head of household.

He is out to win.

He overcame everything.

He's amazing.

He's still in this game, and he is going strong, and we are so

Proud of him.

Wooooo!

This is natural.

[ Laughter ].

I think that my dad has known he was an underdog from the

Second he got banished.

He said, "I'm the old guy.

I'm going to be a big target."

I think that dad broke that trend by being himself.

He's a lovable guy, and I think people relate to him.

I didn't think he would win a competition.

He's won the most of anyone on the season.

My dad winning h.o.h. Is huge.

But the number one thing he needs to do is don't let it go

To his head.

Realize it's only for woon week and they can still come after

Him.

With any luck, he can set the tone when it comes to the game.

He wins when it matters!

That's what counts!

That's my baby!

Julie: when we return, will bella be shown the door, or will

The six shooters need a new name?

The live vote begins next.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ]

Julie: welcome back to "big brother."

Bella or jack?

Will nick lose his showmance, or will michie lose his bromance?

Let's head to the living room and talk with the two nominees.

Hello, houseguests.

Hi, julie!

Julie: well, everyone, it's time to get straight to

Business.

It is now time for the live vote and eviction.

Bella, jack, in just moments, your housemates will cast their

Votes to evict live.

But before they do, you each have a final chance to sway

Their votes with one brief statement.

And, remember, tonight it will take at least six out of

Votes to evict.

Bella, you're up first.

Thanks, julie.

Love you, mom, love you, dad.

Houseguests, obviously, I love you.

Nick and sam.

Before guin there to vote, you would really like to you

Consider who is a bigger threat in this game, jack, who has won

Almost everything, versus me.

I have literally won nothing.

And a lot of you would be kind of naive to think there isn't a

Majority of people kind of making the dominant decisions in

This game.

And that does not include nick, sam, cliff, jess, nicole, jack.

If jack stays here, he will rejoin the majority.

They will pick you guys off one by one.

And if I'm still here next week I will still be a target which

Means you will be safe.

I respect jack, but he's a huge threat in this game, and I

Respect all of your decisions as well.

I love you all so much.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Just vote for what's best for your game.

Thank you.

Julie: thank you, bella, jack.

Thanks, julie.

I absolutely hate speeches, and I've gone over this about ,

Different vawcials in my head.

The one thing that remains constant is I am so thankful to

Have met each and every one of you.

I consider myself a team player, and I hold myself with integrity

And just want to have fun.

I respect all of your guys' game play, and as well as, that I

Also hope that you place the right vote tonight, and that's

Whatever is best for your game.

And you guys are all great.

So go be great.

Always.

Julie: thank you both.

It's now time for the live voting to begin.

As always, neither of the two nominees are allowed to

Vote.

Cliff, 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.

Christie, you're up first tonight.

Please go to the diary room.

Please go to the diary room.

Christie made a deal with cliff to get bella on the block.

She should follow through and send her out the door.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Hello, christie.

≫julie: all of the votes are in.

Let's give the news to the houseguests.

Houseguests, the votes are in.

When I reveal the vote, the evicted houseguest will have

Just a few moments to say goodbye, gather his or her

Belongings, and walk out the front door.

Hang on, everyone.

By a vote of -, bella, you are evicted from the "big brother"

House.

House.

I love you so much.

You'll be okay, right?

Don't forget to call my mom.

You've got this bella.

You have so many messages.

Bye, bella!

Hold the door open!

Open wide!

[ Cheers ] [ cheers and applause ]

Julie: hi, bella.

Hi!

Julie: welcome.

Thank you!

Julie: come on over.

It's unreal.

It's unreal.

Julie: emotional watching your boyfriend in the house,

Nick, in tears.

Yeah.

Julie: we're going to get to him in a second.

Okay.

Let's talk game first, shall we?

Yeah, sure.

Julie: last week, you and your boyfriend in the house,

Nick, upon completely blindsided by your own alliance.

You thought it was bye-bye nicole, and they chose to evict

Cliff.

Yup.

Julie: who do you feel the most betrayed by?

Uhm... Personally, I don't really feel that betrayed.

I think christie, though.

It was someone that we were kind of counting on, and I know she

Probably was the one to kind of lead the flip.

So probably her.

Julie: let's talk about nicole.

We saw ups and downs in your relationship with nicole in the

House.

Nicole actually told you that your own alliance grtful was

Turning on you, and then you turned on her.

You made it personal.

Uh-huh.

Julie: how much do you regret doing that?

Yeah, I regret it, and I was so happy when I was campaigning

I voiced to nicole that I really, really, like, feel so

Bad for doing that.

I should have taken it in more.

I should have thought about it harder because everything she

Said made sense.

I should have just not assumed things they heard, and I should

Have also kind of in the-- in the moment shouldn't have let

Nick just kind of let everyone come up and hear the story.

I should have had time to process it more.

And I think by just kind of-- "big brother" is a numbers game.

So when everyone was in there, and nicole, we didn't let her in

And, you know, say her piece, that's where we went wrong, all

Of us, and definitely me for sure.

Julie: bell awe saw you get information, and to be

Blunt, couldn't keep it to yourself.

Yeah.

Julie: why share that information?

Was it strategy?

Uhm, I think it's more what I mentioned to my fellow

Houseguests is that I think it's so hard for me to trust people,

And I figured that, like, oh, if I had all this intele, then I

Could figure out, okay, if the majority felt this way, I would

Just trust them.

And it was kindave way-- it was not really intentional.

It was just just like, "this person said this, maybe this can

Help you."

So it was really just me being bad at the game.

[ Laughter ].

Julie: let's talk about nick.

Days ago you were strangers, didn't know each other.

I hated him.

I thought he was so annoying.

Julie: and now it's "I love you, I love you, I love

You."

What's going to happen outside the house?

This feels real?

I think it is real.

He's a great guy, and I've been through some stuff and he helped

Me through it.

He has been by my side the entire game I'm so thankful-- I

Can't use the word "grateful" anymore.

I'm so thankful for him and sam and the relationships I built.

Obviously, last year, looking at bayleigh, I that you want how

Can that be?

How is that possible?

I was so against being nay showmance?

I was like I'll never number a showmance.

And what was it, like, day, five, I feel like I don't know

If that plan went out the window.

Julie: good luck with your tiger mom when you get home.

Yeah.

Julie: okay, we'll talk about that later.

In the event you were the one who was voted out tonight, your

Housemates recorded some goodbye messages.

Let's watch and listen right here.

Bella, you are like a sister to me.

I will forever cherish the memories we made in the house

Together.

Have a great summer out there.

I'm going to miss you a ton.

Bella, from a game standpoint we obviously haven't always seen

Eye to eye.

I do respect and love you so much as a person, and I'm so

Grateful that I met you have gotten to know you.

I accept your apology and look forward to seeing you outside

This house.

Much love.

Jack, if you're getting this message-- I'm kidding.

Bella, it must be you.

I'm so sorry that it ended the way that it did.

Don't worry, if I'm h.o.h. Next week, I'll be sending home nick

Or sam to join you out in l.a.

You all can hang out as much as you want.

Ciao, bella.

Isabella.

Oh, no.

If you're seeing this, I'm devastated right now.

I literally love you.

I can't say enough good things about you.

I would be with you , out of , times.

And as you taught me,... That means you're perfect in

Mandarin.

Julie: we have seconds left for your final thoughts.

I feel so blessed to have been part of b.b. .

And all the great people that, like, are still inside the

House.

And I'm just sad because I really respect jack, but he is

Playing such a great game now, and I really just hope that nick

And sam have a chance.

But -- thank you, bella.

Thank you, so much.

It's time for the live head of household competition.

Free from the threat of eviction, the h.o.h. Must put

Two nominees on the chopping block.

Let's head to the backyard and get things started.

Houseguests, the power is up for grabs.

Cliff, as outgoing head of household, you are not eligible

To compete tonight.

This competition is called "pose in ivy," that's right.

"Pose in ivy.

And the object is simple: hold onto your vines for dear life.

Those vines have a mind of their own.

Fall off, and you are eliminated.

The last houseguest hanging onto their vines will be the new

H.o.h.

And be warned: if you fall off, you must pull a chip from the

Punishment box, and two of you will receive the poison ivy

Punishment.

And you'll all find out what that means later on.

Does everyone understand how to play this h.o.h.

Yes.

Yes.

Julie: excellent, I like it.

This competition begins now.

Oh, my god!

Wow.

Wow!

Whoa!

So much for three hours.

This is fun.

Oh, my gosh!
