Tonight is a special episode of "big brother."
Michie, holly and nicole battle to become the final, most
Important head of household of the summer.
Welcome to "big brother"! [Cheers & applause]
Previously on "big brother"! Fighting to keep his bromance in
The game, jackson offered nicole and cliff a final three deals.
What happens if you win?
I'll go with ya'll.
I'll lie to their face and not feel bad about it.
If holly stays, ain't a snow ball's chance in hell that I'm
Cliff and nicole over holly.
So they brought holly to the final four.
Tommy, you're evicted from the "big brother" house.
With nicole in power -- congratulations, nicole.
You're the new head of household.
I'm going to final three.
She put the love birds on the chopping block.
I've nominated you, michie and holly.
But it came down to the final pov of the season.
Nominations don't matter this week.
It comes down to the power of veto.
And michie secured his fourth veto win.
Oh, my god! Cliff assumed michie would
Stick true to his word.
Okay.
Still final three.
I have an agreement that gets me there.
I think he will do it.
But at the veto meeting, michie saved himself giving him
The soul power to evict and sent cliff hog to the jury.
As much as this kills me, cliff, I'm sorry.
I have to vote to evict you.
Love you, man.
Now only three remain in the battle for the $,.
Tonight, part one of the three-part head of household
Competition plays out.
Who will win and inch closer to the bb crown?
Plus, last year's final , j.c., Tyler and casey return.
All this right now on "big brother"!
Tell you what, michie, you do me a favor and go [bleep]
Yourself.
[Cheers & applause] good evening.
I'm julie chen moonves.
Welcome to "big brother."
It's day in the "big brother" house and the final three are
Set to begin their push to the finale night.
It all begins tonight as part one of the final three-part head
Of household competition plays out.
Whoever wins will automatically advance to part three live on
Finale night wednesday.
But first, after thursday's evicti
Eviction, nicole was faced with her worst nightmare, being left
In the house alone with michie and holly.
So proud of you both.
Victory tastes fantastic! So I'm really scared that
Cliff is gone and now I'm stuck in time with a showmance.
You best believe I'm going to fight.
Yes, it's a uphill battle but I'm ready.
Skin, tooth and nail.
I'll fight to win my way there, me.
Cliff. Okay.
That was for you, man.
I came here to win and I came here to beat other people.
As much as I love cliff, he was one of those .
I have one job left to do.
I'm not going to let my family watch me walk out with anything
Less.
It's very bittersweet.
Getting ready to go to the fina
Finale, I feel like I'm dreaming.
But I've been playing in the shadows.
I want to prove I'm here to fight and prove that I deserve
To be standing there at the very, very end.
Wow! Wow!
Only three left.
That speech didn't come out like a personal opinion thing.
Jury management.
I know.
Junior management.
Unfortunately, I had to make decisions.
Although they bettered my game, it pissed a lot of people off.
Right now, I'm dead to sis.
And christie hates me.
Tommy hates me.
I just sent out cliff.
Cat probably hates me.
I'm trying to convince nicole that the people in the jury are
Emotional and won't vote for me to win $,.
She has a better chance of beating me and I'm hoping she
Takes me if she wins this last
I don't know.
I don't know.
Nick?
I think I can get nick.
Michie is playing the oh, no, none of them like me.
Oh, I would be a great person to sit next to because I would
Lose.
I see through it.
I am over it.
I am over it.
I wouldn't expect either of you if you wanted to take me.
We've been together this whole time.
You know, who you would like to sit next to on game level and
Win against.
On a game level, he k*lled, k*lled.
I'm very aware of that.
You know?
Several people told me that.
If I'm holly and I'm looking at michie and nicole, I'm going
To say yes, michie is my guy but I'm going to lose.
Nicole, yeah, I haven't been like her ally or a pair in this
Whole game, but against her, I would have a better shot.
I'm trying to like appeal to her like in a sneaky way.
I love you, nicole.
I love you more.
No, you don't.
You're good.
What do you mean?
You're good.
What does that mean?
You're good.
How?
Explain.
In what way?
Game, personal, what talking about?
Both.
You have to explain.
No.
I like it just the way it was.
No, you can't just say you're good.
You're good.
Michie has mastered the art of manipulation.
The southern gentleman who is coming to protect you.
And then at the end of the night, whoa, what just happened?
I see through it.
At this point, they wouldn't consider bringing me.
I have nothing to lose.
Why not get in his head, rattle his cage a little bit?
Nicole, seriously, what do you mean?
You're good.
Elaborate. I don't have to.
You don't have to.
I'd like for you to.
I don't want to.
As one of the final three, michie has muscled his way to
The end.
Winning competitions when needed and manipulating his fellow
House mates when all seems lost.
I'm in the final three of "big brother."
It's wild because it's a big dream come true.
Oh, man, it's been one heck of a journey to get where I am.
I knew walking in I would be looked at as a political threat
And a social threat.
You'll be electing a camp director.
This camp director will be given unprecedented power.
On day one when julie said camp director was guaranteed
Safety for the week, my ears perked up and I knew I needed
It.
Congratulations, jackson.
You're the first ever camp director at camp b.b.
Winning camp director allowed people to come to me and form
Relationships.
We need to lock this in right here.
Out of those relationships essentially formed an alliance
Of eight.
I had to be with the numbers.
I had to play their big brother.
It was infuriating but I knew it was best for my game to play in
The shadow. There's a team a coalition of
The winning.
And it worked.
It was a rolling snow ball and picked up momentum.
Ovi, kemi, sam, you are evicted from the "big brother"
House.
Jack was a useful ally.
People looked at him as target number .
I was only the block twice against jack.
Both times I was not the target.
He was.
I thought I could trust him.
But on day , jack turned his back on me.
Jack blew up my game.
Everything I've done in this game has been for us six.
Guys -- all right, okay.
Glad I could trust you, jack.
When everything just blew up, I realized my game is shot.
Literally, I have no bird, no bush.
I lost track.
Christie caught me.
I didn't have anybody in my corner except for holly.
It's nice to have a partner in crime but also a support system
There next to you.
I cast that vote for you.
I know.
Everything I've done in this game has been to keep her safe
Right there with me.
She's my number priority.
We had to win competitions to stay alive.
Our new hoh, michie! Congratulations, michie!
I have ten wins to my name thus far.
You're the new head of household.
That allowed me to play the big brother I wanted to play.
I came here to make moves, to stir the pot, to make deals with
Whoever I wanted to.
You have my back, I have ya'll's.
I locked in a final four with cliff and nicole.
Ultimately it paid off.
In the double ebb vick chun when nicole won hoh, christie got
Sent out the door when it could have been me.
Christie, you're evicted from the "big brother" house.
Cliff and nicole are loyal.
I heard they might take tommy to final four over holly.
I can help you take him down.
Adapt to your environment.
If there's liars in the house, all deals are off.
I'll lie to everybody's face at this point.
It's up fortunate.
I'm not afraid to play it.
I'll do it.
I created this lie for holly and i.
I needed holly to stay.
You didn't tell me you were going to throw the hoh to nicole
So you and I would vote and get cliff out?
That is a lie.
You've been playing both sides for the past few weeks,
Tommy.
Tommy, you are evicted from the "big brother" house.
On a game level, it's a no-brainer for cliff and nicole
To break up michie and holly.
The fact that they didn't I'm speechless but very thankful
They didn't.
Michie, you have won the golden power veto and a spot in
The final three.
I now get to bring holly with me to finale night.
I love "big brother." Winning half a million for my
Parents, my family, being able to make my family proud is an
Accomplishment in itself.
It's time that I do my job and do it for them.
[Applause] welcome back to "big
Brother."
No one used nicole as a threat, but to say she was
Underestimated is an extreme underestimation.
Coming into the house, I knew as an educator that I wanted to
View the house as a classroom.
What do you do with your students?
You assess and adapt weekly.
I knew I would have to focus on my social game.
Very early on in this game, I saw something in cliff that I
Knew resonated with me.
So I formed a final two with cliff.
Final two.
I would do that in a heartbeat.
One by one, my friends were taken out.
I lost ovi, I lost kemi.
What is happen something. I don't know.
There was a huge group running the game.
What's up, jack?
Hey.
What is happening?
Me and cliff were not a part of it.
I'm curious to see what happens later when they have to
Turn on each other.
Me and cliff were very, very patient.
We saw the little class here and there and we were just waiting
For them to burst.
Everybody knows this is a fix.
Nicole, they're breaking apart.
And then cliff and I teamed up with jeff and cat and we
Became cliff's angels.
So we were able to take out a huge threat in this game.
Jack, you are evicted from the "big brother" hours.
Jack.
Moving forward, I lost cliff's angels.
Cat, you are evicted.
It was very tough to lose cat.
But michie approached myself and cliff about a final four with
Him and holly.
I know the game well enough, you don't turn an alliance
Especially with michie who would get angry at you and come after
You.
Luckily it paid off.
We're in for the long haul at this point.
I'm not flipping around anyone else.
Double eviction day was insane.
It was a victorious moment.
Congratulations.
I decided to pay back holly for all the weeks that they kept
Me safe.
Wisent out a big target.
Christie, you're evicted from the "big brother" house.
And in the following week, I win freaking b.b. Veto.
With cliff off the block, michie was forced to put up holly.
We were in a position to make a big decision.
We could break up another one.
Ultimately we decided to vote out tommy.
You're evicted from the "big brother" house.
In keeping holly, we made a great deal with her.
That deal allowed me to win my hoh and secure my spot in the
Final three.
Are you guys here?
You just won.
Seriously?
Yeah.
Unfortunately michie won the veto.
Which sent cliff out the door.
Cliff, I'm sorry.
I vote to evict you.
I love you, man.
My special friend. Here I am in final three with
The showmance.
It's mom and dad dropping you a legal telling you how proud we
Are of you.
I don't know if you understand what it means for my little
Family to be -- this whole thing is a dream.
I want to be sitting in that chair and I see it, I see it.
I can happen and it will happen.
We miss you so much and cannot wait to see you again.
All summer, holly has said she's more than just the girl in
A showmance.
She proved it by making it to the final three.
Here's how she got there.
The second I walked in the door, I knew I had to play a
Very careful, calculated game in order to survive until the end.
Hi.
I'm holly.
I'm from wyoming.
So join ago big strong alliance is the perfect way I
Planned on easing into the summer.
If you're surrounded by bigger targets, they usually go
Before you do.
I love this so much.
Serenade me later.
Gladly.
I certainly wasn't expecting to get into a relationship with
Somebody.
But michie was not the only one I was close to.
Cat and I ran in similar circles outside of this house, so yeah,
I knew her.
You're dead.
And cat was not part of my alliance.
So it really helped to have a number on the other side.
When my relationship with kat almost got exposed, my game
Flashed before my eyes.
Like you clearly all know each other.
You and kat -- you and you and you all know
Each other.
Wait.
I had to separate myself from kat in order to save her.
Do we know each other?
No.
Do you know jackson?
No.
That's when we knew the house turned completely against us.
Every single person in this house is coming for this.
But I still had michie.
And where the relationship started to blossom is when we
Realized how good we were as a team.
I can trust you. Obviously.
So flying under the radar went out the window.
We had no choice.
We had to compete and we had to win and earn our own safety or
Our game was done.
Congratulations, holly.
My goal coming in here was to stay off the block.
I lasted days.
Never seeing the block.
I have decided to use the power of veto on cliff.
And then my worst fear came true.
I finally saw the block.
Holly, take a seat. And wouldn't you know?
It was during michie's hoh.
And nicole and cliff started going back on the final four
Deal.
We are here.
That's what's important.
Looking -- michie and I had to pull out
All the stops to keep me in this game.
I can do whatever you want.
Would you throw the hoh tonight?
I threw a comp that was made for me.
But michie had won the last veto, so he had the ability to
Keep me safe.
Cliff, I'm sorry.
I vote to evict you.
I love you, man.
I came here to win "big brother."
After the game I played, I feel like I deserved to be up there
In one of those final two chairs.
I have a lot of friends in the jury.
So if I get to plead my case to them, I have a real shot at that
Half mil.
We made it.
Up next, I sit down with last year's final three.
Casey, tyler and j.c. Give us their take on this season when
We return.
But first, want your chance to win $, like casey did last
Year?
Here's how you can become a house guest next summer.
Outspoken, outgoing.
Outrageous! The search is on for next
Summer's house guests.
Do you have what it takes to move in and compete in a
Three-month power struggle for $,?
Go to cbs.com/casting for details.
Welcome back to "big brother."
These three guests need no introduction.
But for new "big brother" fans, say hello to last year's winner,
Kaycee, runner-up, tyler and third place finisher, j.c.
Welcome back.
[Cheers & applause] okay.
Is anyone surprised to see this time three of michie, holly and
Nicole?
Kaycee?
Yes.
Coming from the beginning of the season, yes.
I wasn't expecting holly and jackson to make it this far at
All.
Tyler?
Anybody that follows me, my prediction skills, I'm very
Good.
But I thought david was going to win.
I'm shocked, yeah.
Jaysy?
Yeah, I'm surprised that jackson didn't make it.
Because you think hey, he's such a threat?
Yeah, exactly.
So physical.
Let's talk about the decision cliff and nicole made last week
When they could have broken up a power duo and evicted holly but
Instead they evicted tommy.
Tyler, you thoughts?
Any world that you can say I could see why they would do
That?
No.
I think they lost their minds.
Split put.
Kaycee?
This is "big brother" .
A couple, destroy them.
You know, it's $, on the line.
If you see a showmance, obviously it's bad no matter
What.
Destroy it.
You see what I had to deal with?
How do we think how each of the final three played it to get
This far?
Let's start with nicole's game play.
I like her game play.
Her social game was really good.
Getting to know everyone and being a good listener.
I like a player that can go through adversity.
I think nicole played well.
How do we think how michie has played this game?
Michie does well under high pressure situations she you need
In the "big brother" house.
But I think his down fall might be he's abrasive.
I feel like he's played a little too aggressive.
Yeah.
But it works for him.
How do we think holly has played this game?
Oh, man.
I like holly.
I don't like she's in a showmance with michie.
But I won't mind if she won.
Avoiding the bluff is really hard.
If you go more than days without seeing the block, you're
Doing something right.
My respects.
I feel like she's gone with the flow and hit behind michie a
Little bit, especially last week when she was sitting there and
Let jackson fight for her.
At the same time, a jury might not respect that.
Who do we think will take it off?
I want nicole.
Based on my prediction curses, I'm going to say michie
Will win it. I think whoever wins deserves
It but I think holly wins.
Kaycee, tyler, j.c., Thanks very much.
Thank you.
Nobody that has played "big brother" knows that you have to
Keep your emotions in check.
But there's one place to let your feelings flow.
Good evening, "big brother"! At this point, I don't want
Anybody to win $, at all.
I don't want to come off obnoxious but I wish people were
Smarter.
Wait.
What is an abacus?
Do you know?
Literally use your brain.
Nick better not be sweaty and smelly on my pillows.
You think holly would be pissed if I stole a kleenex?
She stole my man so I'm stealing her kleenex.
Pardon my french.
I'm pissed off.
You're kissing me.
I'm so sorry I cursed.
I feel played.
Stupid.
I said I would never cry like this.
I feel like a cute puppy but -- I've been having dreams about
My wife the past couple nights.
Fun dreams.
It terrifies me.
I'm scared.
I don't know who to trust.
I'm so emotional and I'm just hormonal.
I'll be fine.
I just need a minute.
Like I don't want people to think I'm fake crying.
I'm not fake crying.
It's just homesickness.
That's all.
I'm such an ugly cryer.
I hope they never see this.
I'm starting to feel like america hates me.
I wish it was that easy.
Turn them on, turn them off.
I truly never felt this alone in my life.
Well, here you go.
Here's some tears for you.
[Applause] welcome back to "big
Brother."
It's now time for part of the final three-part hoh
Competition.
Let's head to the back yard and get things started.
Hello, house guests! Hi, julie.
Welcome to part of the final three-party head of
Household competition.
This competition is called raiders of the b.b. Relics.
Here's how it works.
On my go, you must cross your rope bridge and jump across the
Rotating pillars above the lava pit to get to the other side.
Once there, you must complete the ancient b.b. Puzzle.
Once complete, your treasure chest will open revealing gold
Coins.
Your goal is to transfer gold coins, one at a time, back to
Your crate at your starting platform.
The first guest to correctly complete your puzzle and
Transfer coins will win.
Part one of the final head of household competition and
Automatically advance to live on finale
Yes.
Yes.
Get on your mark, get set, go!
I'm out for blood.
Whoever wins this goes straight to part three on finale night.
So no throwing this one.
I want to win this.
I want to prove that I'm here to fight.
I deserve to be here in the final three.
Of all the competitions thus far, this head of household is
The most important.
So I have a job to do.
There's a couple layers to it.
This is the first one.
Trying to get it done.
This is going to be a doozy.
I'm in the final three with a showmance.
The only way I see myself in the final two chairs is when I win
The final hoh.
It burns a fire under my turn.
So let's swing, baby.
I finally get to my puzzle.
I'm going through my pieces.
The puzzles are not as easy as they look on tv.
But my mom and I love them puzzles.
But my mom and I love them puzzles.
I'm a puzzle person.
I want the double eviction hoh.
It was a puzzle, but this puzzle is hard.
It is the most bizarre shape.
Is that an eye, an ear?
What is that?
I don't know what I'm looking at.
I have to pull it together and complete this puzzle.
I know I can do it.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm struggling with this puzzle.
I look over and of course, of course, michie is thriving.
He's doing stupendously.
Who knew he was good at puzzles.
And holly is not far behind.
Come on! I need to pull it together, pick
Up the pace so I don't fall behind.
Up the pace so I don't fall behind.
Very good job.
So I finally get done with the puzzle.
I'm the first out of the three.
Now I have to transport coins back to my crate.
I'm in the lead but I have to make sure I stay on the gas to
Stay there.
I'm not seeing it at all.
Oh, my god, this is super embarrassing.
Oh, my god, this is super embarrassing.
I finish my puzzle.
Yes, they finish it first but I'm not far behind.
So now I have to pick up the pace.
Come on, nicole, you can do this.
Make up for lost time.
Make up for lost time.
Now that's caught my stride, I'm really flying.
I feel like I might be the leading lady of an action film.
I'm feeling pretty bad a*s right now.
I'm out to win.
I want to build my resume as much as possible.
I want to tell the jury that I beat michie.
Nope.
Not today.
Oh, I'm falling behind.
I'm falling apart a little bit.
But gosh darn it, nicole anthony does not give up, ever.
I know I'm not doing as well action they are but I'm not
Going to quit.
It's not going to happen.
I need to win, this guarantee I'm playing in part and give
Myself an opportunity to get to the final.
Myself an opportunity to get to the final.
Don't let anybody tell you you're different.
Or that you can't do it.
Or that you're too slow to do it.
Just keep doing it.
Come on, son.
From day one, I never let myself feel comfortable in this
House.
It will get you k*lled.
I finish this competition and push through so I can hopefully
Make it to the third part and the final two.
Make it to the third part and the final two.
Nicole is lagging way behind.
It's clear that it's between michie and i.
I'm real on his heels.
I'm not letting up.
So one of us is going to win this.
I want it to be me.
Holly and I are neck and neck and I love it.
She's not letting off the gas and neither am i.
Let's duke it out to the finish.
Let's duke it out to the finish.
Good job, guys.
Here we go, momma.
This is for you.
Damn you.
So michie has won part one of the most important head of
Household competition of the summer.
Taking one step closer to being crowned the winner of "big
Brother."
The $, is not the only prize up for grabs wednesday,
We'll be handing out $, to america's house guest.
Here's how to vote.
It's time for america's vote!

Cash.

All right.
So I just won part one of the three-part and final hoh for
"Big brother"."
And yes, it is awesome.
I'm happy but I will not let myself celebrate.
It's premature.
I have another job to do.
Smells like vegetable bullion.
I'm happy for michie but I really wanted this win for
Myself.
I'm a little disappointed I didn't pull it out.
So now I go head-to-head with nicole.
She will be the only thing standing in my way of getting to
Those final two seats.
I wish I had done better. I know that I can win part
Two and then I'm going to win part three against michie.
Guess what?
I'm not bringing michie.
I'm bringing holly.
He's in for a rude awakening.
I know it in my soul that it could happen and will happen.
Everybody will be like oh, my god!

Of the summer around guarantee themselves in the final spot of
Two?
